INTRODUCTION:

All of these pages have the same verses at top in the introduction, designed to help you understand how to understand the Word of God, in context, without any of one's own private interpretation which changes meanings to fit one's pet doctrines. Not to mention goes against the Word of God.

(Deuteronomy 4:2 [KJV])
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

(Proverbs 30:5, 6 [KJV])
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

(Isaiah 28:10 [KJV])
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

(Isaiah 28:13 [KJV])
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

(2 Peter 1:20 [KJV])
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

(2 Peter 3:16 [KJV])
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

(Psalms 12:6-7 [KJV])
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

(1 Thessalonians 2:13 [KJV])
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

(2 Timothy 2:15-16 [KJV])
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

(Acts 17:10-11 [KJV])
And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

As the verses above say and teach, always research for yourself, always use all of the context of all Scripture, always rightly divide that Word of Truth and never privately interpret it!

All of the studies found here, whether book studies or topical studies, are done with research with mainly two things: The KING JAMES BIBLE and a plain old, 1828 Webster's Dictionary. Why? Outside of actually studying secular and Jewish history, archaeology, one needs nothing more. You do not need foreign, dead languages that no one speaks, nor lexicons, concordances nor commentaries, because they differ not only with one another and with the KING JAMES BIBLE, they create division, confusion, debate, and unbelief, apostasy, and a falling away from God Himself. We do not need them. That Word of God written and preserved for us in our own language is supposed to be enough, like the Old Testament was for the Jews, and as the New Testament was for the early Christians in Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, German, etc.

There are studies within as tangents on words, subjects found within the two testaments, as to broaden the scope of the study, to learn more, deeper truths. This is not an intellectual site with PhDs, theologians, and no worldly wisdom.. Check everything out, everything. Not just here, but with everything you read and see and hear. Be Bereans:

Always research for yourself, use all of the context, and never privately interpret!

PROPHECY AND CURRENT EVENTS

Companion studies to this one are all on the menu above, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, Revelation, etc. in addition, get submerged into all of the Old Testament prophets from Isaiah to Malachi. In fact, the entire Old Testament from Genesis on contains prophecies. Prophecy is nearly a third of the Word of God. It cannot be ignored if one wants to know what God says..

INTRODUCTION TO PROPHECY

The very purpose of writing this book has to be to drive you back into THE BOOK, the Word of God, the King James Bible. You should not need this book as you have that one from God, written and preserved for you in the blood of martyrs. If your intention is to not red the Word of God and only read other books, stop now. Go back to the Word and study that, for the rest of your life. There are way, way too many prophecies made and fulfilled to list, but these are way more than anyone would need to be driven to God's Word and understand that this proves God is real, Jesus is the Messiah, the Christ, is LORD, and that Israel is God's peple then, now, and forever. Oh, and that we indeed are in the last days spoken of by jesus and the prophets, cover to cover, Genesis to Revelation.

Deuteronomy 8:3
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Luke 4:4
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

Proverbs 30:5-6
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Paul taught it to the people. No reason nor excuse not to. God never told us to ignore any page, any word, any subject, etc. in His Word, which is why He gave the Word to us. All of it contributes to our salvation, spiritual growth, witness, testimony, wisdom, etc. Too much of the Word of God is prophecy to ignore, like Creation is.

Acts 20:27
For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

If we do not teach the children and new believers, unbelievers, the hereticks and cultists will be happy to teach them. They will be taught by someone; they will be taught by them something. The hereticks and cultists will, if we abdicate that responsibility, have the ability to lead them astray from the LORD. Those are your children, your disciples of any age; no one else's.

WHAT EXACTLY IS PROPHECY?

PROPH'ECY, noun [Gr. to foretell, before and to tell. This ought to be written prophesy.]
1. A foretelling; prediction; a declaration of something to come. As God only knows future events with certainty, no being but God or some person informed by him, can utter a real prophecy The prophecies recorded in Scripture, when fulfilled, afford most convincing evidence of the divine original of the Scriptures, as those who uttered the prophecies could not have foreknown the events predicted without supernatural instruction. 2 Peter 1:19.
2. In Scripture, a book of prophecies; a history; as the prophecy of Ahijah. 2 Chronicles 9:29.
3. Preaching; public interpretation of Scripture; exhortation or instruction. Proverbs 31:1.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One thing ignored by most Christians, listed above as definition number three, in the meaning is preaching, exhortation or instruction in the Word of God, not just foretelling the future. God's prophecy is not man's preaching, unless man preaches from God's prophecies in and from His Word. God uses His Word to teach us, instruct us, correct us, give us proper doctrine and tell us future events, all of which are collectively prophecy. In this study, we are talking about the prophecy of God foretelling us the future events, many already fulfilled, now unfolding still, many more to come.

PROPHECY IS UNIQUE TO GOD'S WORD

Prophecy is about twenty eight percent of the Word of God, which is nearly thirty percent!!! Prophecy is completely unique to God's Word and no other book nor its author can do it, nor ever has done it, nor is doing it, nor will ever do it. The Quran itself is not a book of prophecy, nor was Mohammed a prophet, having made not one single prophecy. The same is for "Seventh Day Adventism" or Mormonism and Joseph Smith, or Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucius or any and all other cults, especially today with the "New Age" cult (not new). Prophecy is unique to the Bible. Now that we are where we are today in history, we cannot turn the clock back a hundred years to that world. It is fast forward from here on out with technology, politics, religions of the world uniting and refusing not to unite. The barometer of all history and prophecy, the tiny nation of Israel, is back in their land onoe last time forever and now a 'cup of trembling" and a "burdensome stone" (Zechariah 12:2-3)

THE TWO MAIN THINGS TODAY

First is Roman Catholicism, the second is Islam. Why? They are the two most prevalent religions that fulfill prophecies in these last days:

1.) Roman Catholicism by the "popes" trying to unite all religions worldwide, in fulfillment of prophecy, hating Israel, denying her right to their land, throughout their history, trying to destroy her via money, helping the dictators and Mullahs trying to destroy her
It must be said, known, understood, remembered that the first "pope" Constantine (AD 306 to 337), called Himself "Vicarius Christi", the replacement of Christ. This is the start of the pagan Roman Catholicism.

2.) Islam, by cooperating with that pagan entity, hating Israel, denying her right to their land, and trying to eliminate them and steal their forever, practicing beheading as their custom (Revelation 20:4)

These are the two major players today who are fulfilling God's prophecies of the last days, both will fail miserably and be destroyed.

GOD, THE AUTHOR OF PROPHECY

(Isaiah 42:9 [KJV])
Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

(Isaiah 46:9-10 [KJV])
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

God is the God of prophecy, the only One Who told us what would happen and then made it happen. With eyewitnesses, who recorded that, other eyewitnesses who were both believers and unbelievers, friends, enemies, leaders, you name it.

Prophecy is HISTORY MAKING, WORLD SHAKING and WORLD SHAPING events foretold by God, moments before, hours before, days before, weeks before, months before, years before, centuries before and even thousands of years before they happened, are happening or will happen. Prophecy is solid proof of the existence of God.

Most of prophecy has been fulfilled. People think prophecy is mostly about Armageddon, the Second Coming, the Rapture, etc. No. Those are future prophecies. But most has already been fulfilled. It was prophesied; it happened after that. There is some prophecy left to be fulfilled, but the ones fulfilled in the past prove that the Bible is true, that God is real and that He exists.

On top of that, most of all prophecy is about two things only, outside of the world's judgments on people, nations and kingdoms:

1.) ISRAEL AND
2.) ISRAEL'S MESSIAH, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

The rest of prophecy is about judgment on the nations coming against God's people, judgments on false religions, pagans, births, empires, kingdoms to come after the prophecy is made and, the last days prophecies being fulfilled now, like birth pangs, faster and faster, closer and closer.

If you read the prophets, The word "Israel" in the Bible is mentioned 2,301 times. Israel is the subject of most of the prophecy in the Old and New Testaments, whether God mentions them specifically or in the context of their enemies trying to destroy them, God disciplining them, or Him blessing them.

To understand Israel, the first thing is to understand that, Because of God and His calling upon Abram, who He later called Abraham, Israel, through Isaac, Jacob (who God later renamed Israel) and Jacob's twelve sons, became an identifiable ethnic group of people, who are the same people today as they were then, an identifiable ethnic group of people today, and they were led as a body of people en masse into the Promised Land, and we know who they are today, and and we know why they are there today! They are the only group of people who were promised a land forever on earth, even when one includes the body of Christ, His church. Our citizenship is in heaven, not on earth. Israel's is in their land, which today occupy so little of because of sin.

ISRAEL is the only, world history long, still standing today, completely ethnically identifiable pure people since the calling of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, thousands of years ago, unique among all nations and peoples ever to exist because they were also scattered and regathered repeatedly, never once destroyed, always left with a remnant, that remnant identifiable even so today, the fulfillers of prophecy more than any other nation, from her actions and the actions even of her enemies, and the only nation that has a right to the land God gave them, and the only earthly nation that is forever and ever, with an everlasting covenant God gave them. This despite their sin(s), like your sin(s) and mine. They are unique among people, unique among land, unique among language and unique among God's purpose in a way no other nation can compare. They were the only nation God said He would scatter and conquer-then bring back into their land in the last days. It is the only nation that God said would exist as long as HE is alive, which is forever, being the Everlasting, Eternal God. If they cease? He ceases. Therefore, it is impossible for them not to exist. ISRAEL PROVES GOD EXISTS.

THE PURPOSE OF ISRAEL

Deuteromony 7:7-10
The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.

Israel was chosen by God's Grace, Mercy, Love. Just like we were. Like Israel, we also have to accept the LORD back and follow after Him back.

God created and kept Israel for the very purpose of fulfilling His prophecy in Genesis chapter three after the fall and subsequently crushing the serpent's head, by the death, burial and resurrection of the promised Messiah. The Messiah, the LORD Jesus Christ, came through that tiny nation Israel over thousands of years, through everything thrown at them, through their sins, through their captivity, through their conquering by their enemies, through their scatterins, they brought forth their Messiah, the JEWISH Messiah, the LORD Jesus Christ. This tiny nation today is the nation that proves God exists in every way. This existence is why this fallen, God hating world wants to destroy her and will fail.-BECAUSE GOD SAID THEY WOULD, IN PROPHECY. God created and kept Israel for the very purpose started above, that He loved them. They were and are fewest in number today, in a land that is a parcel of their original land, the size of New Jersey, so blessed by God with talent, riches, God's protection, that so much of mankind loves to hate their wealth and power in their covetousness. Israel gets blamed for so much that has nothign to do with them in this hatred. But God told them he would create them and preserve them as a nation, as a remnant at times, forever. Many nations through history from Abraham to today have come and gone and, yet, there is Israel. The most powerful nations from all over the word together will not destroy or remove her ever again. A fulfillment of prophecy. They are proof God exists. Please, go read God's prophecies in His Word.

2.) THE MESSIAH OF ISRAEL:

The word "Messiah" in the Bible is specifically mentioned 2 times, both in Daniel chapter nine. The word "Christ " in the Bible is mentioned 532 times.

Whether it is things from the past now fulfilled or future things in these last days, most of prophecy is in one way, overtly or covertly, about these two things, Israel or the Messiah of Israel; often both spoken of together from Genesis to Revelation, in God's Word, as they are related. Jesus Christ is the JEWISH Messiah. Obviously, Israel is important to God and He is in no way done with this tiny nation everyone loves to hate, dripping saliva rabidly, blood on their hands and hearts, all as prophesied in Zechariah 12:2-3. more and more as we get closer to the Rapture, the Great Tribulation after that, and the Second Coming to save Israel the second to the last time. Then one last time at the end of the Millennial Rule of Christ on the Throne of David.

One must know that many skeptics love to attack the Word of God and, without fail, they fail. One is the birth timing of Jesus and another is His riding into Jerusalem on a donkey on the exact day prophesied hundreds of years previously by Daniel in chapter nine. Why? it makes them angry and that is because it makes them no authority on the future; only God Who knows the future Who they love to hate does. To know the future and last days events worldwide, we merely need to read the Word of God in the prophets. It tells us. We are in those last days.

The amount of prophecies foretold about Jesus Christ are so numerous that, just on His last week on earth as a man, He, His disciples and even His enemies fulfilled over 300 prophecies. In a week!

SECOND THING: WHAT IS NOT PROPHECY?

Prophecy is definitely:

- NOT cheap psychic predictions
- NOT something you get from a seance
- NOT divinations
- NOT found in the Quran
- NOT some prediction by Nostradamus
- NOT signs in the sky written in smoke by planes nor written on banners towed behind them
- NOT something coming from some crystal ball
- NOT spoken by soothsayers
- NOT determined and discerned by magicians
- NOT read in tea leaves
- NOT seen in the sun, moon, stars by astrologers
- NOT something you pay a witch for
- NOT mysticism
- NOT superstition
- NOT fooling around with Tarot cards
- NOT about fortune tellers
- NOT something discerned in a seance with the spirit world
- NOT something you see by taking hallucinogenic drugs
- NOT found in Hindu writings, the Vedas or the Bhagavad Gītā or any other Hindu writings
- NOT found in the sayings of Buddha
- NOT found in the sayings of Confucius
- NOT found in the writings of Ellen G. White
- NOT found in the writings of Mary Baker Eddy
- NOT found in some "prognostication of Nostradamus"
- NOT found in the book of Mormon
- NOT found in the Quran
- NOT found in the writings of, Scientology or L. Ron Hubbard
- NOT found in the writings of Jeanne Dixon
- NOT found in the writings of Napoleon Hill
- NOT found in any New Age writings
- NOT spoken by astrologers
- NOT done by magicians
- NOT spoken by soothsayers
- NOT spoken by any living "wise men" (certainly not the magi in Jesus's day who are now dead, but speaking about the self-proclaimed ones today)
- NOT found in the Book of Mormon
- NOT found the Jehovah's Witness bible
- NOT found in the writings of any "ESP" famous person
- NOT found in the "Positive Confession Movement"
- NOT spoken by any world leaders, rulers, judges, presidents, senators, kings, princes
- NOT ANYTHING ELSE but that which God knows, told us in His Word and only HE makes it come to pass in His time.

However, you will find that God gave us prophecies, warning us about these liars and more listed above, that they would show up in these last days. And here they are, worldwide. Looking to fulfill more by making one worldwide religion, one worldwide government, one world language, a one world leader, with one purpose: that of destroying God's people, Israel, and any believers on earth who get saved after the Pre-Tribulation of the Church.

HOW CAN ONE DISCERN?

It has to be said and well understood that the very first thing Jesus said when asked the two questions about His return to earth to rule and reign was "Take heed that no man deceive you."

Matthew 24:4
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

Luke 21:8
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

Mark 13:5
And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

Why? Because He was about to tell them and us that many would be deceived, in the last days, because of the apostasy, the great falling away in the last church, the church of Laodicea, which we are in today.

Deuteronomy 18:18-22
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not
spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

This was ancient Israel. They did not have all of the Word of God like we do today. Today, we have no prophets, but we do have all of God's Word and, therefore, can discern via the Word of God. We have no excuses as to how to discern truth any more. There is no more revelation God will give us, as His Word is finished.

1 Corinthians 13:8
Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

If someone comes to you to try to give you a "prophecy", some new revelation "God gave to them", walk away and avoid them and warn others. We were warned they would come thousands of years ago. If God's Word is complete, preserved perfectly for us forever, in one book, like God said, in our language, we already know what all prophecy says, and we have it. We do not need any "prophets" with "special words of knowledge". Yes, God can use ANYONE to give us wisdom-FROM and ONLY ACCORDING TO GOD'S WORD HE GAVE US. Life, old age, experience give very few people much wisdom from God Himself. Live long enough and you will meet plenty of old fools. Live long enough and you will meet plenty of young, wise people if they study, believe, read, memorize God's Word. Wisdom and gray hair never gave a single person"wisdom". It can give us worldly wisdom; nothing much more, and certainly not wisdom from God. God uses wisdom from His Word and prophecy as proof to mankind that He exists, along with undeniable evidence from His Creation.

(1 Corinthians 1:19-31 [KJV])
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Ephesians 3:19
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

1 Corinthians 2:6
Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

1 Corinthians 3:19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

AEL AND THE CHURCH The compromise of allegorizing prophecy of the last days started primarily with Origen. He allegorized so much that it was not even the same Gospel message. For instance, he claimed that Jesus Christ would not rule on earth in a kingdom on the throne of David, but rather that Jesus would rule in our hearts, much like the heretics today, taking the verse out of context,

The misunderstanding of the order of events in Daniel 9:24-27:

------------ALLEGORIZATION----------------

1.) Jesus comes to set up His Kingdom and destroy Rome
2.) Even after His Resurrection, at the Ascension, He is still asked when this will happen

1 Corinthians 15:3-8
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

--------LITERALLY WHAT HAPPENS------------

Daniel 9, Matthew 24, Luke 21, Mark 13, 1,2 Thessalonians, 1,2 Timothy Revelation, etc.:

1.) Jesus comes to die for Israel's sins, and the world's sins
2.) Jesus is buried in a rich man's tomb, with a stone rolled in front, and a full time, full guard of four soldiers, in rotation, perhaps twenty four total, more or less
3. A great earthquake, the stone rolled away, the Resurrection of the LORD Jesus Christ three days later
4.) Jesus is seen of the apostles, disciples
5.) Question asked and answered about His Second Coming
6.)The Ascension
7.) Israel conquered Rome in 70 A.D. for missing the time of their visitation spoken of by the prophets
8. Roman empire slowly crumbles
9.) Israel's focus is set aside for the last two thousand years
10.) Israel returned to land, 1947 a state, 1948, independent
11.) 1967, 1973, they capture Jerusalem once again
12.) Israel now a cup of trembling and a burdensome stone (Zechariah 12:2-3)
13.) Rapture at any time, imminent, of the saints (Gentile, Jewish believers in Jesus Christ)
14.) Last week of Daniel begins
15.) False peace between Israel and the anti-Christ
16.) 3 1/2 years after, false peace broken by anti-Christ
17.) 3 1/2 years war against Israel, all nations
18.) Temple rebuilt, in times of trouble
19.) Christ returns, destroys the enemies of Israel
20.) Also saves Israel, enters the rebuilt temple
21.) Satan cast into hell with his minions
22.) Christ THEN sets up His Kingdom on earth for 1,000 years
23.) A new heaven and a new earth, eternity

Luke 17:21
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

No, this does not mean a literal kingdom inside of me. This is the Holy Spirit is in me, the Spirit of the LORD Jesus Christ sent by the Father at Pentecost, now upon salvation. That kingdom is not the same as the Kingdom Jesus Christ will set up when He returns to earth at the Second Coming. This was misunderstood by the apostles and disciples, thinking Jesu came to defeat the Romans and restore the Kingdom to Israel. His first coming was to save us from our sins. They missed that part. Right now, His throne is in our hearts, spiritually ruling over us. Then, it will be a literal kingdom will be on earth, the throne of David.

"For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence."

Acts 1:6-11
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 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.

Because Jesus knew they missed this, upon His arrival to Jerusalem on a donkey, He preached to them that they did not still get it, why He was even there, out of their own Old testament prophecies. This was why they were judged by Rome in 70 A.D. Their house "was left to them desolate"

Luke 19:41-44
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

This allegorizing by Origen and subsequently others is because, in the Roman Empire, too many Jews and even more Gentiles were getting saved and the Roman Empire had to deal with them.

That said, knowing the Scriptures and last days prophecies in the now completed prophetic books, one simply had to read them and conclude from all of the works contained therein and in Daniel chapter nine that the second, revived Roman empire was going to be destroyed at Christ's Return, Christ's Second Coming. Not at His first. That misunderstanding by the emperors of Rome in the first century made things very difficult suddenly to be a Christian openly, because Rome wanted to exist forever and these people were, in their minds, a threat. They thought that these Christians were setting up Christ's kingdom on earth then. By the third century, Christians were heavily persecuted, etc. and the Church grew more, exactly the opposite result the enemy wanted. Soooo, that old saying applied,

"IF you can't beat them, join them!"

Enter Constantine and the Roman Catholic hierarchy, replacing the Caesars with itself. This is the enemy joining the church and running it at all levels, top to bottom.

The first mention of the church by name is in Matthew, below:

Matthew 16:18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

- The church is not intimated in the seventy weeks of Daniel prophecy, the most amazing prophecy in detail in God's Word
- Gentiles, Jews, the Church, not the same
- Israel always on earth since Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the twelve sons, alter twelve tribes
- The Gentiles, always on earth since the Creation, on through to eternity
- The Church, the Body of Christ, since Acts chapter 2, with the Advent of the Holy Spirit indwelling all believers

- The church, the body of Christ, was not given earthly promises of physical blessing and land like Israel
- Our promises are spiritual and heavenly
- Israel's promises are earthly blessing and a home land
- The heavenly blessings offered to both were the same, to believe on the Messiah, the LORD Jesus Christ

THE FOUND TEN "LOST" TRIBES!

Israel has no "lost ten tribes". This is a last days heresy promoted by the "Replacement Theologians". All one has to do is read the Word of God and see they were returned to the land are now in their land today.

Ezekiel 37:21-22
And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:

ARE WE REALLY IN THE LAST DAYS?

- A great apostasy has gripped the church
- False "revivals" which make the conference holders money, over and over, ad nauseum
- False signs, false wonders
- False signs in the skies, like "UFOs", "angels" giving "messages", "visiting" people, "appearing" to people, with "predictions", "messages", "prophecies"
- False prophets, false teachers
- Aversion to the truth of God's Word
- Rise of cults, rise of occultism ,even in the church
- People want unity and entertainment, not doctrine
- Christian believers do not study the Word, but listen to false teachers
- A constant, non stop conveyor belt of new "Bible Versions"
- The looking for of a world leader
- Seeking world peace
- Israel, back home, with Jerusalem, the city of David as their principle city
- Lack of proper teaching, lack of discipleship
- "Where is the promise of his coming?" in the church
- Post Tribulation "rapture" rampant
- Complete abandonment of the teaching of prophecy and Creation in the churches, a full 70% of God's Word ignored
- Mega churches building massive buildings
- Creation and the Flood denied as truth, historical events as written, literally

- Christian "Psychology" is now a "fruit of the spirit!"
- Technology unimaginable not long ago
- People are going to and fro on earth, daily, all day, all night, long distances, often
- Earthquakes worldwide increasing in number and intensity
- The church indistinguishable from the world

THE MESSIAH: HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?

Matthew 11:2-3
Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

How would they ask this question, if they were not expecting their Messiah to come? They had, read, studied the Old Testament prophets.

THE ANSWER BACK: HOW CAN YOU TELL?

Matthew 11:4-19
Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

Nothing has changed today. As then, people often look for the outside appearance

- Jesus did miracles to authenticate Who he is, the I AM
- No one had ever cleansed and cured leprosy, so this was unique to Jesus
- Eyes, ears, legs healed by His touch
- No one had ever raised the dead. Once gone, you are or were dead spiritually. He IS the Resurrection and the life but, today, if that is what you are looking for, the televangelists will be happy to fake it for your money-and they do - The fancy suits (soft raiment)
- King's houses (successful mega churches, successful ministries)

THE "TELEVANGELIST" "CHRISTIAN" AUTHOR, THE EXAMPLE

Philippians 3:16-21
Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

- We have already attained heaven as believers, so let's act like it, as saved believers
- Walking in faith, not in the keeping of the law to be saved
- Paul and the apostles were examples, as persecuted Christians, eventually martyrs
- These people, self-blinded by lust for money and power "Christians" are the enemies of the Cross of Christ, feigning belief to build their own kingdom$$$$
- Unsaved, on their way to hell
- They will dine on caviar now, taking from the poor to enrich themselves, then swallow fire for all eternity
- Their own glory is all they want and, on that day, it will be revealed as their shame at the Judgment seat of Christ
- We look for the LORD from heaven in the Rapture, to be translated
- He will destroy His enemies and rule over all of the earth and reign forever. AMEN!

- Jesus is more than any prophet, but easily missed by those who want to be blind and deaf, want to have willful blindness, want to walk with the evil, want to walk their own way (AWAY from Jesus), want to go for the money and fame and power and their own glory.
- There is a spiritual battle and it is very violent, then as now
- We have a sharp, two-edged sword that is our only offensive weapon, for a reason-to do spiritual battle, leaving the result to the LORd, not to us
- Jesus quoted Scripture often to the enemy and His enemies. They left Him ,eventually, empty handed
- John the Baptist told them to "repent! for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" And he was taken to prison and beheaded later as a gift to Herodias
- John the Baptist was a prophet, heralding the arrival of the LORD

Matthew 3:2
And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Matthew 10:7
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Matthew 4:17
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

- They killed John and Baptist for saying Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, foretold in the Scriptures
- They killed Jesus for being and proving He IS the Messiah, the Christ, foretold in the Scriptures
- Verse 17, the circus shows that people want today on Sunday morning, the programs, the pageantry, to draw the crowds
- They will call you the possessed one if you tell the truth
- They will call you names, mock, taunt you for telling the truth

If anyone at all today with any charisma, air time, exposure, good looks, power, money were to come along and perform false miracles in any way on any visual platform, without any discernment, they could today easily deceive the masses. It is not hard. They are already mostly deceived as it is, with the use all day of their "tell-a-vision" with its "p-r-o-g-r-a-m-s" and "c-h-a-n-n-e-l-s". When one watches that idiot box, it requires no thinking, which is why marketing works so well. They tell you what you need to buy (poison for your body) and you buy it because it is what you now, suddenly want and need.

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

1 John 2:15-16
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Yes, it is still that easy.

THE FIRST AND LAST PROPHET: GOD HIMSELF

FIRST PROPHECY: DEATH IF YOU DISOBEY

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

"In the day thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die"

God Himself is the First and the Last prophet, the Beginning and the Ending Prophet, the Alpha and Omega prophet and made the first and last prophecies in the Bible, as seen below. The first and last things God did in the way of talking to mankind is foretelling the future. Before any prophets in Israel, there was the God of Israel making prophecies

In the Creation account in Genesis itself, we have the creation of mankind and the very first prophecy, which is of the fall if Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Genesis 2:15-18
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

THE FIRST AND THE LAST PROPHECY

Genesis 2:17
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

THAT FIRST PROPHECY FULFILLED RIGHT AFTER

Genesis 3:15-19
And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

THAT FULFILLMENT: DEATH, DISEASE, DISASTERS, DESTRUCTION

Genesis 3:7-14
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

-God gave the command to Adam, who then gave it to Eve
-Either Adam, gave it to Eve by adding to it, or Eve recited it wrong by adding to it
-The fall of Lucifer the light bearer to become satan the deceiver, the serpent, the devil from heaven had already happened prior to to Adam being created, so sin was in the world spiritually; just not in the earth, nor in the physical creation yet

Isaiah 14:12
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

- Adam and Eve knew good and evil, now making aprons of figs to hid e the shame of their nakedness ,moments before unnecessary
-The Gospel then given to mankind and the serpent told of ultimate eternal doom by Jesus Christ at the Cross

SIN'S EFFECT: ALL OF CREATION

Genesis 3:17-19
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

-The result of this disobedience was spiritual death upon all mankind, spiritual death upon all animals
-That curse was also of physical death, disease, destruction, pain and sorrow

THE SERPENT'S HEAD TO BE CRUSHED: 99% FULFILLED

That last 1% is the Return of the LORD Jesus Christ to earth to cast the devil into hell for 1,000 years, then let him out to fail AGAIN at destroying Israel and then to be cast into the lake of fire one last time, forever. The serpent now knows today in these last days that his time is short now in these last days, which is one reason why evil is becoming more prevalent and visible and rampant, and will do so until the LORD returns. And he knows why. He cannot defeat Israel and destroy all of mankind, nor will he destroy the church, and they will also then be raptured, so he is flopping and flailing his arms in anger. This is what Tetelestai (It is finished, pain in full) means, the debit for our sin is paid for all of us, so we must merely accept it. It was a Greek prison word for when you paid your debt to society and were released, "paid in full" and that was handed to you on a receipt, in case anyone wanted to re-imprison you innocently, claiming you were let out early.

Revelation 12:12
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

John 19:30
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Of course, no man could actually kill Jesus Christ; He laid His life down on His own. This means He was certainly dead. That and the fact that they did not break His legs to make sure. The spear in the side with water coming out with blood made 100% sure He was indeed fully dead.

Matthew 26:53
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

John 10:17-18
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

THE VICTORY OVER THE SERPENT: THE RESURRECTION

Luke 24:39
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

1 Corinthians 15: 3-8
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

-Resurrected bodily three days later, witnessed by hundreds, the most proven event in all of recorded history, because those who saw Him after the Resurrection steadfastly refused to recant that they had seen the Risen Christ, to the point of torture, imprisonment, death. No lie or made up story could ever withstand that sort of test. No other one ever has with multiple people never recanting a pre-prepared lie in some sort of conspiracy. Under pressure, that many would snap. It is then proven in any court to be true.

Matthew 16:18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

INTERJECTION: AT THE DEFEAT OF THE SERPENT: PROPHECY IGNORANTLY EVEN FULFILLED BY JESUS'S CRUCIFIERS

Psalms 69:21
They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

Luke 23:36
And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

Mark 15:36
And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.

John 19:30
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

The serpent got a fatal head wound (it shall bruise thy head) at the Cross to his head, now waiting to die. His days are numbered. He could not kill Jesus's soul and Spirit, only the body, which was raised BODILY three days later (the heel bruised). FAILURE!!!!

THE LAST PROPHECY: SOON FULFILLED

Luke 10:18
And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

Revelation 12:12
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

FIRST JUDGMENT

Revelation 20:1-3
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

LAST JUDGMENT

Revelation 20:10
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

In the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ ,no more false prophets will be allowed.

Zechariah 13:3
And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.

THE TWO MAIN LAST DAYS GROUPS

1.) Roman Catholicism
2.) Islam

The reason is that they have been actively uniting between the two of them, working together to unite all religions worldwide for decades now. Their power and control and influence worldwide is so vast that it is the fulfillment

PARTIAL LIST OF FULFILLED PROPHECIES

These are by category and the verses which prophesied them can be looked up. As was said earlier, prophecy is totally unique to the Word of God, the Bible. You are encouraged to seek, study to find them all and never stop. This list is as long as a roll of paper towels in small font, so will never be done.

- Sin entered the world
- The flood was foretold and fulfilled after 120 years
- The languages, tongues were confused at Babel
- Abraham was called
- He was told Sarah would have a child in her old age
- Abraham and Sarah were told Ishmael, the other son through Sarah's handmaiden Hagar, when they did not believe God would give them a child in their old age, would oppose everyone on earth, all other nations

Genesis 16:8-12
And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai. And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands. And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

1. ) Ishmael was the product of UNBELIEF, as it is today, because Abraham and Sarah did not believe God's promise of a son, Isaac
2. ) Sarah gave her handmaiden Hagar to Abraham who then conceived Ishmael
3. ) And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
4. ) Notice the prophecy that continues today through all of the Middle East nations, not even all descendants of Abraham and Sarah at all, only Isaac was!
5. ) More terrorist acts, blood, murders, kidnappings, etc. ever since. all having one common theme: DESTROY ISRAEL, which is impossible
6. ) After Ishmael was born, God opened the womb of Sarah and she gave birth top Isaac, the child of promise.
7. ) Ishmael was never an heir to anything, since he was an illegitimate child
8. ) Isaac was the promised heir, even as the younger, as he was from Abraham and Sarah, to whom God gave the promise of an heir a seed, with an everlasting covenant of blessings
9. ) Isaac was the one who was offered on the altar, not Ishmael

JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF DECEPTION

There are thousands more that can be presented.

Heretical "mega Pastor", the late Earl Paulk, "The Cathedral at Chapel Hill", Atlanta, Georgia:

"Jesus is held in the heavens until all things have been restored"
-Held In the Heavens Until.
It is quoting some false, "modern" "version".

What the REAL Word of God actually says in that verse:

Acts 3:21
Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

"The TIMES of the restitution", not "until all things have been restored". See the difference if you mess with the Word of God against His commandments over and over not to do so, in and from both testaments? You lead sheep astray. This is the Laodicean prophecy of the last, lukewarm church fulfilled before our eyes. This is one example only. This is today. This is fulfillment of prophecy. When it is the TIME to restore Israel, Jesus Christ returns to earth and not before. When it is NOT time, He comes and takes His Bride, the Church, home to be with Him forever in Heaven. The restitution of all things is the reconciliation of Israel to God, the remnant in their land, the Kingdom of Christ in Jerusalem for a thousand years.

Acts 1:7-6-7
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

Now think. What a perfect time for Jesus to say, "How on earth did you guys miss what I am saying? The Church will REPLACE Israel! Israel is finished! Done! Over! It is all the church now!" So see what He answered, above.

AN EXAMPLE OF A NON-PROFIT NON-PROPHET

A 501(c)3 in America is way too often headed by mainstream "blind leaders of the blind " ministry, by a "non-prophet" ministry in addition to being a non-profit ministry. Think about that long and hard. Welcome to Laodicea. This is nothing new and it always enrages God. It is also an old thing, not a new one. The "New Age" is really an old thing.
Pretty much a majority of Jeremiah when it deals with God's people Israel, and other prophetic books as well, talks and warns them of false their own prophets in the nation and the penalty upon Israel for heeding them while, at the same instance, God is proving that HE IS God and they did not speak for God, but were false prophets.

Ecclesiastes 1:10
Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

One sign of caution is that a false teacher will always seem to say that God gave them a "New Revelation from the LORD!", when the Scripture is complete and that is how God speaks to us now and all we need to know. There is no more special revelation today, nor after Revelation 22:18-19 was written by John.

Jeremiah 23:1-4
Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD. And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.

-False teachers are in the church today; false teachers were in Israel then
-Those people belong to God; that flock belongs to God, not to the false teachers , an idea very foreign and $trange to many false pa$tor$ and fal$e teacher$ today ($$$)
-Those false teachers then caused those of Israel to be scattered and left to no defense, as real sheep, since real sheep have no natural defenses
-God is in charge of them and said that He will will Himself regather them, and always did, over and over

SO THEN, WHAT IS PROPHECY?

PROPHECY IS UNIQUE TO GOD'S WORD. Prophecy is about twenty eight percent of the Word of God, which is nearly thirty percent!!!
Prophecy is completely unique to God's Word and no other book or its author can do it, has done it, is doing it, will ever do it. The Quran is not a book of prophecy, nor was Muhammed a prophet, having made not one single prophecy. The same is for Mormonism and Joseph Smith or Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucius or any and all other cults, especially today with the "New Age" cult (not new).

DANIEL CHAPTER 2: DANIEL TO NOW, TO THE FUTURE

DANIEL CHAPTER 2, MAGICIANS VERSUS GOD

"All of those pastors who were of the liberal interpretation of the Scriptures, the modernist interpretation, which did not believe in Scriptural inerrancy, none of them was able to stand in the time of persecution that happened in Romania, simply because of the fact that it was very difficult to suffer, and be in prison, and possibly die for Jesus, whom you weren't sure even existed, or that He had died for your sins and risen from the dead."

-Richard Wurmbrand, Tortured For Christ Author

(Daniel 2:1)
And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.

(Genesis 41:1-8)
And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow. And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke. And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them. And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.

see Daniel Chapter 2 for the entire chapter account.

(Daniel 2:2)
Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.

(Daniel 2:3)
And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
(Daniel 2:4)
Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.

(Daniel 2:5)
The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.

(1 Samuel 15:33)
And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.

(Ezra 6:11)
Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.

(Daniel 2:6)
But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.

(Daniel 2:7)
They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it.

(Daniel 2:8)
The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.

(Daniel 2:9)
But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.

(Daniel 2:10)
The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.

(Daniel 2:11)
And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.

(Daniel 2:12)
For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

(Daniel 2:13)
And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.

(Daniel 2:14)
Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:

(Daniel 2:15)
He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

(Daniel 2:16)
Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.

(Daniel 2:17)
Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:

(Daniel 2:18)
That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

(Daniel 2:19)
Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

(Daniel 2:20)
Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

(Daniel 2:21)
And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

(Daniel 2:22)
He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

(Deuteronomy 29:29)
The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

(Isaiah 45:3)
And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

(Daniel 2:23)
I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.

(Philippians 4:13)
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

(Proverbs 16:1)
The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.


(Daniel 2:24)
Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.

(Daniel 2:25)
Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.

When you kneel before God, you can stand before men


(Daniel 2:26)
The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?

(Daniel 2:27)
Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;

(Daniel 2:28)
But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;


(Daniel 2:29)
As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.

(Daniel 2:30)
But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.

(Daniel 2:31)
Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.

TER'RIBLE, a. [L. terribilis, from terreo, to frighten.]
1. Frightful; adapted to excite terror; dreadful; formidable.
Prudent in peace, and terrible in war.
The form of the image was terrible. Dan 2.
2. Adapted to impress dread, terror or solemn awe and reverence.
The Lord thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible. Deu 7.
Let them praise thy great and terrible name, for it is holy. Psa 99.
He hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have See n. Deu 10.
3. adv. Severely; very; so as to give pain; as terrible cold; a colloquial phrase.





(Daniel 2:32-33)
This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.

(Daniel 2:34)
Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

(Daniel 2:35)
Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

(Daniel 2:36)
This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.

(Daniel 2:37)
Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.

(Daniel 2:21)
And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

  • Head of Gold-Currrent Babylonian Kingdom under Nebuchadnezzar-Conquered by Medo-Persians, who did not destroy Babylon (Babylon ruled from 606-539 B.C.), Babylon was the secondary capital
  • Silver-Medo-Persian Empire-Cyrus, (of mixed parents, Persian and Mede) the "Persian Empire", who conquered, but did not destroy, Babylon was secondary capital. (539-332 B.C.)
  • Brass-Greek Empire-Alexander the Great conquered the Persians (kingdom was later divided by four generals(20/21 July 356 – 10/11 June 323 BC)) His four generals divide it up after he dies a young man, having had nothing left to conquer. This is the 400 silent year period, more or less.

    According to Josephus, Alexander was shown the book of Daniel's prophecy, presumably chapter 8, which described a mighty Greek king who would conquer the Persian Empire. He then proceeded to spare Jerusalem and pushed south, conquering
    his way into Egypt.
  • Iron mixed with Clay-Ancient Roman Empire (68 B.C.)-Splits up, never conquered, revived in the last days
  • THE FEET ARE BROKEN-WHAT HAPPENS TO A STATUE OF BROKEN FEET?

    (Daniel 2:38)
    And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.

    1 Corinthians 12:12-25: THE BODY OF CHRIST
    (Daniel 2:39)
    And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

    (Daniel 2:40)
    And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.

    (Daniel 2:41)
    And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

    (Daniel 2:42)
    And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

    (Daniel 2:43)
    And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

    (Daniel 2:44)
    And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

    (Daniel 2:45)
    Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

    (Daniel 2:46)
    Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.

    OBLA'TION, n. [L. oblatio, from offero; ob and fero, to bear or bring.]
    Any thing offered or presented in worship or sacred service; an offering; a sacrifice.
    Bring no more vain oblations. Isa 1.

    (Genesis 41:43)
    And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.

    (Daniel 2:47)
    The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.

    (Deuteronomy 29:29)
    The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

    (Isaiah 45:3)
    And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.


    (Daniel 2:48)
    Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.

    (Psalms 68:18)
    Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.

    (Ephesians 4:8)
    Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.


    (Daniel 2:49)
    Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.

    ------------------------------------------------------

    - The lesson in Daniel Chapter 2 is that it shows the uniqueness of prophecy to God and no man can do it
    - The magicians could do nothing whatsoever to even tell the dream to Nebuchadnezzar, let alone tell him the interpretation
    - Daniel in his flesh could not, but God gave it to him to tell the king
    - Daniel did not even take credit for it afterwards and merely accepted his reward at the hand of the king, even extending it to his three friends
    - This dream interpretation
    -
    -
    -
    (Isaiah 42:9 [KJV])
    Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

    (Isaiah 46:9-10 [KJV])
    Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

    God is the God of prophecy, the only One Who told us what would happen and then made it happen. With eyewitnesses who recorded that, other eyewitnesses who were both believers and unbelievers, friends, enemies, leaders, you name it.

    Prophecy is HISTORY MAKING, WORLD SHAKING and WORLD SHAPING events foretold by God, days, hours, weeks, months, years, centuries and even thousands of years before they happened. It is solid proof of the existence of God.

    Most of all prophecy is about two things only, outside of the world:

    1.) ISRAEL
    2.) ISRAEL'S MESSIAH

    ISRAEL AND ISRAEL'S MESSIAH, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

    Israel is mentioned 73 times in the New Testament.

    Matthew 19:28 (FUTURE)
    And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

    ISRAEL: If you read the prophets, The word "Israel" in the Bible is mentioned 2,301 times. Israel is the subject of most of the prophecy in the Old and New Testaments, whether God mentions them specifically or in the context of their enemies trying to destroy them, God disciplining them, or God blessing them.
    It has to be said and fully understood that ISRAEL is the only, world history long, still standing ethnically identifiable people since the calling of Abraham, unique among all nations because they were scattered and regathered, never once destroyed without a remnant, identifiable even so today, the fulfillers of prophecy more than any other nation, from her actions and the actions even of her enemies and the only nation that has a right to the land God gave them, and the only nation that is forever and ever, with an everlasting covenant God gave them. This despite their sin(s), like you sin(s) and mine. They are unique among people, land, language and God's purpose in a way no other nation can compare. They were the only nation God said He would scatter and conquer-then brought back into their land in the last days. It is the only nation that God said would exist as long as HE is alive, which is forever, being the Everlasting, Eternal God. If they cease? He ceases. Therefore, it is impossible for them not to exist. ISRAEL PROVES GOD EXISTS. That is undeniable. If God did not exist, Israel would not exist.

    AND, IN THE END...

    Revelation 21:12
    And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

    ISRAEL: TRUE AND FALSE


    ISRAEL/ZION: THE L:AND

    PROPHECY: The Muslims, according to their Quran, absolutely must exterminate the Jews and take the land of Israel, and that is required by their religion. Well, so God gave them the land. He brought them into the land. When they sinned, He scattered them everywhere. They were hated and persecuted and killed all over the world.

    Jeremiah 30:7-24:
    Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
    Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid. For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
    For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous. There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines. All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased.
    Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee. Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after. Thus saith the LORD;
    Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small. Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them. And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.
    And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.

    All attempts to destroy Israel from their land forever have failed and always will, because God said He has their back.

    Never in history was there ever a nation of people who were scattered, cast out of their land for 1900 years then came back against all odds, with the same, intact ethnic identity, a revived ancient, once dead language, restored!

    - Israel is a piece of land that nobody really wanted through ages until the 1800s.
    - All of the way through recorded history from A.D. 70 , as far back as we can tell, as far as we can tell, that land was barren, not arable, useless, barely used, a land of goats, snakes, lizards, ricks, sand
    - It was controlled by the Muslim Turkish Ottoman Empire for 400 years. -That Muslim Turkish Ottoman Empire taxed anyone on how many trees one had on their property, so the people cut the trees down to lower their own taxes
    - -That Muslim Turkish Ottoman Empire was much worse in India than Hitler did in his reign in their murders, bloodshed, torturings
    -The Taj Mahal was built by a Muslim mogul with 20,000 slave laborers. - They killed millions.
    -The Ottoman Empire, the Turks, lost in World War I - Muslims occupy 700 times more land than the tiny area Israel owns, from God, a small portion they were originally given
    - This has turned into abject hatred by those who do not need their land, spoken of in Zechariah 12:2-3

    Revelation 11:2
    But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

    Revelation 21:2
    And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

    Revelation 22:19
    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.

    ZION: THE INVENTED HATRED IN THESE LAST DAYS

    "Zionism", "Zionist", "Zionists", words invented by people who hate Jews and hate Israel. You will see in reading this study that the word "Zion" is underlined in nearly all places. To emphasize this word to expose the lie in their hatred. That hatred is all they are and all they live for. As real, true, Biblical Christians, we are called to love God's chosen people the Jews and Israel, no matter their sins, as we ourselves were saved by grace through faith as they were then and are now, not by keeping any law. False teachers today go around teaching "Replacement Theology", a lie that is not from God's Word that claims the church replaces Israel, forever, because they lie and say "Israel killed the Messiah! God is done with them!"

    John 8:3-11 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

    Um, no. Your sin and mine killed Jesus Christ, which is what the Gospel is all about. He died for Israel's sins, Israel being His people. He died for your sins and for my sins; He died for the sins of the whole world. He even died for the soldiers in Rome who crucified Him, the two thieves on the Cross, one of whom believed, one not. He died for Pontius Pilate's sin, King Herod's sin, Peter's sin, Paul's sin, Mary's sin, Joseph's sin, His brothers James and Jude; He even died for Judas's sin who betrayed Him to the Roman soldiers. It was Judas's choice to reject the sacrifice on the Cross of Jesus Christ, who Judas knew for three years, only to later betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. The Pharisees were sinners and rejected their Messiah and paid for it. You are not without sin and YOU will eternally pay for yours if you do not accept the fact that Jesus paid for your sins on that Cross, for you, for me, for the whole world.

    Matthew 28:11-15
    Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

    These chief priests decided to bribe the officers to make sure that the Resurrection was covered up, to make it look like the disciples stole the Body of the LORD, leading to abject hatred. This same thing happens in the minds of all unbelieving mankind who deny Jesus died on the Cross for their sin(s), because of pride. That is Jews, Gentiles alike. So do not look down you nose at Jews. If you wanted to deny Jesus died on that Cross for your sin(s), you would do the same. It is not a Jewish thing........it is a mankind characteristic to hide sin(s). Denial of the LORD. Plain. Simple.

    Basically, hatred of Israel and the Jews is a venomous, serpentine, mental disorder, curable only by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit after a person gets saved by the Blood of the LORD Jesus Christ. There is no other cure, because this is merely a deep spiritual issue, not a medical one. It is a form of madness, sometimes devil possession, from participation in islam and other occultic religions, using those practices. On top of everything else, Hatred of God's people is hatred of God, since the world and the enemy know clearly well that the very existence of the tiny nation of the ethnic Jews (not Kazakhs!) are proof that God existys. This hatred makes me love them and Jews even more.

    ZION--------------> JERUSALEM--------------> THE CITY OF DAVID

    God gave the city and the entire area around it, all of those nations, to Israel. The original land God gave to Israel is a lot larger than the tiny land they are in now and, yet, the haters think that even THAT is too much! Like that would affect anyone else? He used Joshua to clear the pagan nations out and set Hi people, His children, Israel there. This is Zion. The name God gave it, the name God gave to Jerusalem. That city and that land belongs to God alone and He gives it to who He wants. We do not get to decide what God does with His land. He is jealous for His children, His chosen people, and will defend and protect them forever, now back in their land one last time. They cannot be ousted and the world hates that. This tiny nation, roughly the size of New Jersey, surrounded by massively huge nations whose express, written religious belief is that Israel must be eliminated in order to bring in the Mahdi, the Islamic false, pagan god. What they do not realize is that this is impossible to do and, this time, they themselves will not only be stopped, but destroyed while they are surrounding Israel and Jerusalem to try one last time before the end of the Tribulation. Then Jesus Christ reigns for 1,000 years, the Millennial Kingdom, reigning on David's throne, until satan is released from hell for a moment to try one last time and gets no where.

    All of this venom and vitriol is simply part of the fulfillment of prophecy for the last days, being fulfilled by even the enemies of Israel, unknowingly, ignorantly fulfilling God's prophecies and proving God's Word. if that does not make you more loving to Israel and the Jews-CHECK YOUR PULSE.

    2 Samuel 5:7
    Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.

    1 Kings 8:1
    Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

    Zion is the city of David, Jerusalem, which God gave over to Israel thousands of years ago and is now their principal city, their capital city, then as now

    2 Kings 19:21
    This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.

    2 Kings 19:31
    For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.

    The mountains surrounding Jerusalem in Israel are the mountains of Zion. Mount Zion is directly outside of Jerusalem.

    1 Chronicles 11:5
    And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David.

    2 Chronicles 5:2
    Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

    Psalms 2:6
    Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

    Psalms 9:11

    THE CAPTIVITIES OF ISRAEL: FORETOLD, FULFILLED

    EGYPT: MANY PROPHECIES, FULFILLED

    Just this one captivity alone is filled with many prophecies which came to pass. Moses was a prophet as was Abraham, the first prophet to hear of this captivity.

    - God told Abraham of the captivity in a strange land
    - God told Abraham how long, 400 years
    - God told Moses of the wonders and the plagues, and to get ready for them
    - God told Moses of Pharaoh not letting them go until the last one, the death of the firstborn
    - God told them they would be blessed there
    - God told them they would come out with great substance, as the Egyptians wanted them GONE!
    - God told Moses of the last plague, and then Pharaoh would let them go
    - God told them they would keep the Passover forever and, even today, in Israel, they keep it (Exodus 12:14)
    - God gave Moses and Israel the prophecy of the Cross of Christ with the lamb's blood on the doorposts and the lintel (Exodus 12:7)
    - The feast of unleavened bread after the Passover is forever (Exodus 12:24)

    Genesis 15:13
    And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

    Genesis 12:10
    And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.

    THE EXODUS ITSELF: FULFILLED

    Genesis 12:31-36
    And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said. Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men. And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
    And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.

    THE ASSYRIAN CAPTIVITY

    2 Kings 15:29
    In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria.

    Isaiah 7:1
    And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.

    THE MESSIAH OF ISRAEL: The word "Messiah" in the Bible is mentioned 2 times, both in Daniel nine. The word "Christ " in the Bible is mentioned 532 times.

    Whether it is things from the past now fulfilled or future things in these last days, most of prophecy is in one way, overtly or covertly, about these two things, Israel or the Messiah of Israel; often both. From Genesis to Revelation. Obviously, Israel is important to God and He is in no way done with this tiny nation everyone loves to hate, dripping saliva rabidly, blood on their hands and hearts, more and more as we get closer to the Rapture, all as prophesied in Zechariah 12:2-3.

    One must know that many skeptics love to attack the Word of God and, without fail, they fail. One is the birth timing of Jesus and another is His riding into Jerusalem on a donkey on the exact day prophesied hundreds of years previously by Daniel in chapter nine. Why? it makes them angry and that is because it makes them no authority on the future; only God Who knows the future Who they love to hate does. To know the future and last days events worldwide, we merely need to read the Word of God in the prophets. It tells us. We are in those last days.

    THE NON-PROPHECY PROPHECY OF BIBLE CORRUPTION ATTEMPTS

    (Genesis 3:1)
    Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

    1. "yea, hath God said..........? (made Eve question what God said, creating doubt and tempting her
    2. "neither shall ye touch it"
    3. "Ye shall NOT surely die"......adding one word to cause the fall into sin
    4. The result was a prophecy fulfilled of mankind dying, diseases, disasters, destruction on the creation

    So, this altering of, adding to and taking away from God's Word has been going on since before the fall, with Eve, the serpent, into the New Testament with the hereticks then, corrupting the epistles, taking Paul's epistles and editing them to take out words to change them deliberately. Today, the mainstream heretick publishers are still deliberately corrupting the Word of God with "modern" "versions":

    2 Corinthians 2:17
    For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

    Today it is the mainstream "Christian" publishers of new "Bible Versions", from 450 to 950 different "versions" now. But God's Word the English translation of the Authorized Version, the King James Bible, was FORETOLD to survive all of these efforts to pollute and destroy it, forever existing perfectly, through it all. All efforts to destroy it have failed and always will fail. But those even think to who try to pollute it will be judged, as in Revelation chapter 22 below.

    Revelation 22:18-20
    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: 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. He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

    LAST PROPHECY:

    "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him".

    Revelation 1:1-2
    The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

    The entire book of Revelation is a written, recorded Revelation of prophecy, future events, from God the Father to God the Son, via God the Spirit and revealed to John after he was raptured to heaven.

    - God is always the One behind the prophecy given and the prophecy fulfilled, but in these cases, it is directly to man by God Himself, to Adam directly and to John directly, John who was taken into Heaven to get this directly from God to write down for us to read.

    1 Thessalonians 5:14-22
    Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil.

    "Prophesyings" can be either preaching or giving prophecy of good events. This has to be understood, as this one verse can be taken from its context and privately interpreted to mean speaking like an Old Testament prophet. There are no prophets today and we have the entire Word of God. We do not need them. The first century Christians had the Old Testament and any epistles circulating among the churches but, after Revelation was written, we do not need "prophets today" and them trying to prove they are prophets of God is another fulfillment of Scriptural prophecy about the last days, in the church of Laodicea.

    Actual prophecy given and fulfilled proves beyond any doubt that the Bible, a book of sixty six books, as being from God, using scribes and authors from all walks of life, all books written by forty different authors, from Adam himself through Moses and the prophets all of the way through to the last book, Revelation, written by the apostle John, most people of whom never met any of the others; all books compiled long after they were all dead and gone from earth, with one single unifying theme. God's love for mankind. He created mankind and gave him free will to accept or reject, which allowed Adam and Eve to reject Him in that free will, which they did. Then He sent His Son the LORD Jesus Christ to save mankind from his fallen, sinful state on that Roman Cross by His Blood shed for us. That book of books is fully accurate in every word, fully intact and infallible. Two things within the covers prove that God exists and that His Word is fully true:

    1. Creation itself

    (Romans 1:20 [KJV])
    For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

    2. Prophecy

    Isaiah 46:9-10
    Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

    Only the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel) can give prophecies and fulfill them, even using mankind. Prophecies given are often so detailed and specific that it impossible to honestly deny them when they are fulfilled, because it is an impossible thing for man himself to fulfill, nor would he want to. Declared prophecy in massive numbers, in specific detail that has been, fulfilled at exact, precise moments on cue, by willing souls and especially by unwilling souls. They were, are being and will continue to be fulfilled fully, exactly and in such detail as to be impossible to explain or deny. The very existence of the tiny nation of Israel throughout history, until today and forever
    The promised seed after the fall to Adam and Eve in the garden is why the enemy sought to destroy Israel from within and without for thousands of years

    Prophecies were often given up to thousands of years prior to fulfillment and the fulfillment was witnessed by the whole world and the events made the history of this world. That is undeniable. Only God Himself can give prophecy of future events and tell man what will happen and make it happen.

    THE ORIGIN OF OUR GOSPEL: PROPHECY

    Romans 1:1-2
    Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

    The Gospel was revealed to man immediately after the Fall-BY THE LORD. This means this is not a man made "gospel" like the cults make up and use to deceive. It is from prophecy, in the Old Testament, that Jesus, Paul, Peter, James, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Jude and all of the rest used, as it was all they had when they were there with Jesus in the the first century, into the book of Acts. You cannot preach from that which you do not have. So prophecy is a lot of Scripture, where we get our Gospel from when we do not have the New Testament, as in Communist countries, in prison, when you get scraps here and there-MAYBE, maybe not. That Gospel started in Genesis 2-3. If you do not believe Genesis, you cannot believe the Gospel.

    (2 Peter 1:19-20 [KJV])
    We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

    -These are indeed the last days on earth, and that is both honestly undeniable and dishonestly denied
    -Israel is our barometer and shows clearly by their returning to their land and retaking Jerusalem as their capital city, one last time, away from it since since 70 AD, never to be ousted again, which is only one single prophecy of the last days, spoken of from Genesis through the prophets, now fulfilled:

    Isaiah 66:8
    Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

    Isaiah 66:20
    And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.

    - The Balfour Declaration, the British Mandate, November 2, 1917, ratified in 1923, to establish a Jewish homeland in their own land, labeled by the world "Palestine", which is simply a derogatory slur word given to Jews, "Palestina". It is also a word used by God in His anger against Israel
    - It did not even make them an actual nation....that was to happen later and many think it did, but t hey are still not an ethnic people called "Palestinians", with an ethnic "Palestinian" language....never existed, never will

    Exodus 15:14
    The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.

    Isaiah 14:31
    Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.

    Isaiah 14:29
    Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.

    - On November 29, 1947, the U.N. declared a carving out of a tiny part of their land, to be given back to them, as God prophesied several times in the OlD Testament - After that, she declared her independence, and Israel was indeed born in a day
    - May 14th 1948, the British Mandate expired and all hell broke loose immediately after that, with the entire Muslim world trying to remove and destroy them forever, not knowing that that is impossible. - The nations all around Israel IMMEDIATELY tried to take her out in war-and failed miserably, once again. - Forward to the 1967 War of Jerusalem which Israel won, to regain that city they had lost for ca. 2,000 Jewish calendar years.

    ISRAEL: THE VINEYARD

    Isaiah 5:1-4
    Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard. What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

    The rest of that chapter talks about impending judgment and doom for Israel's sin. So is the fate for all who reject the Messiah, the LORD Jesus Christ, King of Israel.

    Psalms 83

    MOVING ON TO TODAY....SINCE THEN, TO NOW

    -The popes, the Vatican in Rome are trying desperately to unite all worldwide religions, pagan cults-all EXCEPT ONE: True, Biblical Christianity, which they call "a sect" and "not true Christianity"....???
    -They further are trying to control all governments worldwide and are succeeding
    -Israel is being attacked fiercely from all sides and even atheistic nations such as China and Russia are joining in with that fight, uniting with Muslim nations, a strange set of bedfellows indeed
    -The technology is in place to place a mark in the form of a chip in the back of the hand and in the foreheads of all worshippers of the anti-Christ, who has to be some place on earth, waiting to be revealed

    Some speculation on the anti-Christ

    - Three of the four cohorts who helped destroy the temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. were not even Romans, but Assyrians
    - Nimrod built Nineveh was apparently an Assyrian
    - Pharaoh of Egypt in Exodus was possibly an Assyrian
    - It may be that the anti-Christ will be an Assyrian, maybe not. Who knows? God knows. We will watch from Heaven.

    Genesis 10:10-12
    And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.

    "Ashur could refer to the ancient city (modern Qal'at Sherqat in northern Iraq) that served as the original capital of the Assyrian empire. Nevertheless, this city is not mentioned anywhere else in the Bible, and it seems more likely that this term is parallel to “the land of Shinʿar” in the preceding verse, and refers to the land of Assyria in general." The Torah Web Site

    -The technology of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is in place for all worshippers of the anti-Christ to watch and listen to him in speeches in video on any device, handheld or TV or desktop.
    -This technology of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can indeed track any person on earth at any time on any device, handheld or TV or desktop.
    -To sell it and deceive, they call it "smart technology"
    -The apostasy in the church of Laodicea, especially visible here in America, is rampant, is here and worldwide, as prophesied

    THE MOST AMAZING PROPHECIES

    Malachi 1:11
    For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.

    There is no place on earth where the sun sets permanently nor rises permanently. This is all over the entire planet. When it comes up, it keeps going and then goes down. There is no "from" and 'to" with sunrises and sunsets. This is a prophecy about the Millennial Kingdom, where the whole earth will worship.

    THE FALSE CHURCH: TODAY

    This whole "Replacement Theology" started in the first century with the hereticks who corrupted Scripture and turned the literal word of God into "Oh, it's just allegorical". Denying a future for Israel, and growing in nuumber. Just like today, where it is worldwide in Christianity.

    This one prophecy of the apostasy, the great falling away of the church, being fulfilled is the most visible to us Christians, as it involves those who are and who are not but claim to be followers of Christ, is widespread and loudly proud of its sins.

    1. Preaching a false gospel
    2. False teaching in all areas
    3. Avoiding much of Scripture (Creation, Prophecy) on purpose so as to "avoid division"
    4. Using "replacement theology" to tell the faithful followers (the deluded and deceived) that the church replaced Israel in the first century and that God is done with Israel. Teaching, in addition to that, a "post" Tribulation "Rapture", which is not even a rapture at all Many Christians in America are denying the Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the church, again as prophesied (2 Peter 3:3-4), and very actively involved, supporting and participating in "prepping" for the Great Tribulation.
    5. Backing "Christian" political candidates, thinking they will bring America back to the days of the late 1700s, all without an actual revival, but saying constantly we are in the middle of one
    6. "Progressive" (apostate, regressive, backwards) churches hosting "Drag Shows", in front of children 7. The world is under a great delusion, ready to believe anything they are told
    8.All of this was prophesied for the last days, as will be seen below in this study

    PROPHECY AS PROOF, BECAUSE PROPHECY IS PROOF

    All of chapter nine of Acts is prophecy, then fulfillment, in Saul of Tarshish, renamed Paul, one fulfillment right after another. Jesus stops him amidst his quest to kill more Christians with a blinding light, and tells him Who He is, tells Paul He will now work for him and not persecute Him (as in via His people, the Christian believers), where he needs to go, and who will take care of him, Jesus told a man named Ananias that Saul of Tarsus (later Paul) was coming; and Paul came to him. He further told Ananias that Saul of Tarsus (Tarshish) was now saved and harmless, not to worry. First spiritual thing Paul does? Preach the Old Testament prophecy in the synagogues. One chapter of one book in the New Testament, prophecy, prophecy fulfilled, one after another, in one man Jesus Christ the Messiah of Israel, by the deeds of other men, their own nation of Israel.

    Acts 9:20
    And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

    Acts 9:22-25
    But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him: But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.

    Acts 9:29
    And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.

    They were told these things would happen to them. It was all fulfilled.

    John 16:1-4
    These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

    Acts 17:1-3
    Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews: And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.

    Acts 24:22-25
    And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter. And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him. And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

    Acts 26: 26-28
    For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner. King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

    Paul especially used prophecy in the synagogues and the streets to preach the LORD Jesus Christ-from the Old Testament Scriptures only, as that was all they had and what the Jews were told to believe to believe in their Messiah Who God told them would come.

    -Paul confounded the Jews
    -Paul spake boldly
    -Paul disputed
    -Paul reasoned with them, so much so, that they wanted to kill him
    -Paul opened and alleged that Jesus was the Christ who had to be crucified and rise from the dead
    -Paul did all of this openly, not hidden in a corner
    -Paul did all of this using their own Old Testament prophets

    (Numbers 24:14-16 [KJV])
    And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days. And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said: He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open: I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.

    (Leviticus 26:40-45 [KJV])
    If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me; And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity: Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes. And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God. But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.

    (Jeremiah 2:2-3 [KJV])
    And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

    (Jeremiah 30: 3 [KJV])
    For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Jude ah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

    (Jeremiah 31:10 [KJV])
    Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.

    -As always, God wants us to be Bereans and know the Word of God and search it to see if something we hear or read from anyone at all is true or not, as all teachers can be false ones and false apostles, even since the time of Jesus, but more today, as Jesus said it would be and today can most be suspect

    "WHEN AND IF WE GO INTO THE MAINSTREAM,
    WE WILL EVENTUALLY FLOAT DOWNSTREAM"

    This has always been true from the Old Testament until the future anti-Christ realm. It is why we do not want to follow any man who does not follow God via His Word, rightly divided. Paul said that about himself.

    (I Corinthians 11:1 [KJV])
    Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

    (2 Peter 1:16 [KJV])
    For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

    (I Timothy 1:4 [KJV]):
    Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

    Hosea 1:17
    My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

    This was the Assyrian captivity, but it happened several times, the scattering and regathering, now this last time.

    Jeremiah 23:5-8
    Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

    -This is the Messiah, Who is the LORD Jesus Christ, of the seed of David
    -This regathering is still happening today, since 1948
    -They will be protected by God, no matter who comes against them=PROPHECY FULFILLED
    -This will continue until the LORD returns
    -Same God, two different events, the last one since Israel became a nation and being fulfilled the last eighty or so years, the return home from all of the nations to Israel.
    -Exodus out of Egypt to wander....Exodus from the world dispersia and scattering, back home to Israel
    - It was prophesied, foretold that, after the Babylonian captivity the Jews would be scattered worldwide for 2,500 years, now called "The Wantering Jew", but then returned to thei land, since 1948 and continuing today, in fulfillment of the Word of God
    - God told the Jews that He would use them to remove the abominable pagans from the land and give them that land in their judgment for their idolatry and sin.
    - God told the Jews that He would do the same to them if they started to do those same things in the land He gave them-FULFILLED, over and over. SIN, JUDGMENT, CAPTIVITY, REPENTANCE, RETURN FROM CAPTIVITY, SCATTERING, REVIVAL, BLESSINGS, SIN, JUDGMENT, CAPTIVITY, REPENTANCE, RINSE AND REPEAT

    Jeremiah 23:9
    Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness. For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right. For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.

    -This false set of teachers and false prophets bothered Jeremiah so much it physically bothered him, affected his health
    -This bothered and angered God greatly and led to their judgment
    -God's judgment in Babylon against Judah and Israel was because of adulterers as well
    -The land also was affected by their sin

    Jeremiah 23:12-14
    Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD. And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err. I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

    Jeremiah 23:15-16
    Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.

    Jeremiah 23:17
    They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it? Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.

I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

    Jeremiah 23:24-25
    Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.

The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.

And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD.

Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken? And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.

    Then later in Jesus's day it was the Pharisees; today it represents the mainstream ministry leaders.

    Matthew 15:14
    Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

    Luke 6:39
    And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?


    Hosea 3:4-5
    For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim: Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.

    -That is the silent years, from Malachi to Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, until Jesus came
    -Israel would have a silent period, no temple, no sacrifices, no land, for a long time
    -That is from 70 A.D. until 1948 and still today-no temple, no sacrifices, no tabernacle, etc. like in the Old Testament days-FULFILLED

    Jeremiah 31:31-34
    Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

    Jeremiah 31:35
    Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.

    Hebrews chapter nine tells us clearly that the Old Testament law, the sacrifices, the tabernacle, the temple and etc. are all a figure (v.9) of what was to come, pointing the Jews to Christ, and never saved them from sin. They were told to look for their Suffering Messiah for that. This was a prophecy in and of itself. They also had Genesis 3:15, Psalms 22, Isaiah 53, all of Zechariah, all of Isaiah, all of Jeremiah, all of Micah and all chapters and verses and words of all of the other prophets...and on and on we go. This was that covenwant offered. So far, rejected. This will be fulfilled after Christ returns. There is no way to deal with sin. A problem for the rabbis.

    THE MESSIAH OF ISRAEL: HERE WITH THE NEW COVENANT

    Luke 24:13-27
    And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. And they talked together of all these things which had happened. And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
    And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

    The Old Testament prophecy was all one needed to know Who the Messiah was when He cam to earth and it is what those IN the New Testament used, here including the Resurrected Christ. Here in Luke, Jesus told the disciples this very thing.

    THE BIRTH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST: EXACT TIMING

    Luke 2:1-4
    And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

    Luke 3:1-2
    Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

    ENTER THE SCHOLARS, THE USUAL SUSPECTS

    Genesis 3:1
    Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

    -Cyrenius/Quirinius was governor of Syria
    -Fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar
    -Pontius Pilate, being the governor of Judaea
    -Herod (the son of Herod the Great), being the tetrarch of the region of Trachonitis
    -Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene
    -Annas being the high priests
    -Caiaphas being the high priests
    -Date and places named

    Understand and know fully that these are all official government or religious titles, technical terms, not to be overlooked. As evidence in court, Luke could testify as an eyewitness as he does here but, for the skeptics, that is never enough. There is a date for their reigns, impossible to write these all down and record it years later, twenty years later, fifty years later, hundreds of years later, as is claimed by skeptics.

    So here is their "problem". Later on...

    Luke 3:23
    And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,

    They falsely claim that Tiberius reigned in in 14 AD. and he reigned fifteen years. So if Jesus was about thirty years of age, that would make it 29 A.D. "that would make Him born in 1 B.C. That is an error!"

    So now think:

    Can you remember who was the mayor of Laredo, Texas or the governor ten years ago? The secretary of state of the U.S. in 1972? The mayor of Chicago twenty years ago? Fifty years ago? How about the senators from New York in the 1980s? The CEO of General Motors? Vice President of the U.S.? How about the pastor of the church ten towns over from you now? Ten years ago?

    Matthew 2:1
    Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

    This is Herod the Great, not his son Herod So, ready? Here is what the skeptics claim:

    1. "But Herod was assassinated in 4 B.C!."
    2. "But Cyrenius was governor of Syria starting in 6 A.D. So, Jesus had to be born by 4 B.C. in order to be that age mentioned above, "about thirty years of age!!"
    3. "But the Bible says that they were both rulers at the same time but that is not possible! See? Your Bible has an error, a contradiction!!"

    Uh oh. Now we have a huge problem, right? Let's fix their "huge problem":

    Luke 2:1-5
    And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

    The Scholars/Skeptics: "Cyrenius was governor of Syria starting in 6 A.D. So, Jesus had to be born by 4 B.C. in order to be that age mentioned above, "about thirty years of age!!"

    Cyrenius/Quirinius was governor of Syria in 6 B.C.

    We now know that he was governor TWICE, from 7 B.C. to 1 A.D., then again from to 6-9 A.D to 12-15 A.D.

    There was a big rebellion under Caesar Augustus and all of his heirs to his throne were killed so, in 2 A.D., Cyrenius adopted Tiberius Caesar as his son, made him co-regent and sent him out to quash and quell rebellions, so we now know that was governor TWICE, from 7 B.C. to 1 A.D., then again from 6-9 A.D. to 12-15 A.D.
    In 9 A.D. Tiberius came back after finishing the job.

    "The Romans were very upset, they hated Tiberius and, although Caesar was still 'prince', technically, he was so old and so infirm, so sick, so weak, that Tiberius had already begun to reign ". That is, he reigned once again, earlier than they say, by a sort of usurpation.
    -Will Durant, quoting the Romans, not just one, but several authors of that time, eyewitnesses, in his Ten Volume tome, The Story of Civilization:

    This is ca. 6-9 A.D., so add fifteen years to that and we are at 21-24 A.D. In order to be "about thirty years of age, Jesus had to be born in about 4 B.C.

    Add fifteen years to that and you arrive at ca. 21-24 A.D., so that brings us BACK to about 4-5 B.C.

    Out of the mouths of two or three witnesses there is solid testimony and evidence. This ALWAYS happens.

    PROBLEM SOLVED. Archaeology now perfectly, innocently, succinctly proves all of this as well. Not an empty claim.

    Therefore, JESUS WAS BORN in 4 B.C., so He WAS "about thirty years of age at around 30 A.D.

    Acts 23:1-5:
    And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day. And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth. Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law? And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest? Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

    The SKEPTICS: "Was Paul lying? Not there? Completely and utterly ignorant?"

    Highly unlikely, being a former Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. Josepheus tells us that Ananias the High Priest had been previously deposed, and afterwards his successor had been murdered, so that Ananias came back and usurped the position of High Priest, stealing it back, illegitimately. Paul was either being sarcastic or did not know it.

    The entire point being made here is that that all of these are IMPOSSIBLE to have written these facts years later, as you would not have known something heretofore unknown until archaeologists discovered it 2,000 years LATER, AFTER.

    Another issue or "problem" that the skeptics of the Bible like to foist on us is, "Pontius Pilate never existed! There is no evidence!"

    SOLUTION: He angered Caesar so much that Caesar decided to put a decree out to wipe ALL EVIDENCE of the very existence of Pontius Pilate from off of the earth. This was common then and the communists, muslims still do that today.
    Well, he tried, anyways. Apparently, they missed a chest high stone monument to Pontius Pilate, now called "The Pilate Stone", which was used as a seat in a theater under construction, just the right size for a man to sit on. Only the inscription was put UNDERNEATH the stone, flipped over upon installation, facing downward, so as not to be seen, discovered and destroyed. Well, what do you know? Lo and behold, an earthquake toppled and upended it, making the inscription visible to all. It read,

    The Pilate Stone

    "Pontius Pilate, Governor of Judaea"

    Therefore, Pontius Pilate did indeed and in fact exist.
    Once again, the Bible as right, as always, and the skeptics wrong.

    THE CONCLUSION OF THE MATTER

    Always have faith, trust and believe God in His Word as it is written, not "skeptics" who are skeptical of everything on earth-except their skepticism, which they 100% trust! They fall by the wayside when presented with truth and facts, documented. Either they get saved or harden their hearts. The best apologists are those who are challenged, accept the challenge and investigate the claims of God's Word with science and recorded history. God's record is 100% thus far, in great detail. The skeptics? Total failures, every time, thousands of years.

    JESUS AND HIS DISCIPLES USED PROPHECY AS PROOF

    THE ORDER OF EVENTS

    THE PRESENTATION, THE , THE PREPARATION, THE LAST SUPPER, THE PASSOVER.

    -PRESENTATION: Nisan 10th, April 6th, 32 A.D.

    Exodus 12:3-6
    Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

    -Tenth day taken into the house
    -Observed for four days to make sure he is without spot or bleemish
    -Fourteenth of Nisan killed in the evening, before sunset
    -Eaten that evening when the Passover begins
    -Thus begins the seven day feast of unleavened bread
    -The first day of the feast is a Sabbath, that year a high Sabbath, which is once every seven years does it coincide with a Saturday Sabbath
    -The last day of the feast is also a Sabbath

    Zechariah 9:9
    Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

    THE FULFILLMENT

    Luke 19:30
    Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.

    Matthew 21:2
    Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.

    Mark 11:2
    And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

    Luke 19:33
    And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

    Mark 11:4
    And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

    Matthew 21:7-9
    And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

    Mark 11:10
    Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

    Mark 11:7-9
    And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.

    John 12:12-15
    On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.

    John 1:36
    And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!

    John 1:29
    The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

    THE PREPARATION PROPHECY

    John 19:42
    There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

    Luke 23:54
    And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

    Mark 15:42
    And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

    Matthew 27:62
    Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

    John 19:14
    And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

    John 19:31
    The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

    THE BETRAYAL, PROPHECY AND FULFILLMENT

    Zechariah 11:12-13
    And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.

    Jeremiah 32:6-10
    And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it. So Hanameel mine uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD. And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle’s son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver. And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.

    Matthew 27:9 ([KJV])
    Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

    John 13:27
    And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

    How many pieces of silver in the day of Jeremiah versus the day of Jesus Christ on earth when Judas Iscariot betrayed Him for thirty shekels? It is unknown. The skeptics love this as they think it is an error, contradiction, a "scribal error". That amount counted out to buy the field was equal to thirty pieces of silver. No one there when this betrayal for the thirty pieces of silver happened questioned that amount at all, not one of them, nor would they notice it is a fulfillment of prophecy as they missed the boat on everything else! The citation in Matthew was intentional, not an error. Further, if you read the text, not read into it, it says, “that which was spoken”, not “that which was written”, so we were not there in this conversation in both cases as eyewitnesses. Zechariah read Jeremiah, wrote what Jeremiah actually said, not what he wrote, and does not mention the purchase of the field. Not a problem unless one wants to find one. Then everything is, to the skeptic who never is skeptical of their own skepticism:

    "An error and a contradiction!"

    Matthew 26:5
    But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

    Mark 14:2
    But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.

    And yet, Jesus was the Passover Lamb, on the next day, while all were eating the sacrificed lamb, He WAS that sacrificed Passover Lamb.

    John 18:28-29
    Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover. Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

    Last supper passed, Peter denied Jesus three times, and Jesus was slain on the actual Passover, that evening. When all of the lambs are being slain, Jesus is on that Cross.

    John 19:14
    And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

    John 19:31
    The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

    -Three days AND three nights, not just three days
    -People think that it was on a Friday because the next day was a Sabbath

    A "high Day Passover" is a leap year, to this day, a special Sabbath day on a different day.

    LASTLY, THE PASSOVER LAMB

    NOW IT IS THE PASSOVER!

    Even though the rabbis did not want it on this day, it had to be, as He is the Passover Lamb of God and He had to be crucified this day in the evening.

    Exodus 12:1-7, 14
    And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
    Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
    And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it...........(v.14) And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

    April 6, 32 A.D. is Nisan 10, 32 A.D. This is the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem. Every seventh year is a "High Sabbath" which coincides with a Saturday.

    This is Nisan 14, 32 A.D. and the Passover Lamb is killed, then the seven days following are the days of unleavened Bread, starting on a "High Sabbath". They shouted, "Hail the Messiah! Hosannah to the Son of David!"

    Just a few examples.

    PROPHECY:

    Matthew 26:2
    Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

    Luke 24:7
    Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

    Matthew 12:40
    For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

    FULFILLMENT:

    Mark 15:25
    And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

    John 19:16-18
    Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

    Luke 24:67
    He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

    Matthew 26:54
    But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

    1 Corinthians 15:4
    And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

    Mark 12:24
    And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

    Luke 24:45
    Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

    Romans 1:2
    (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

    Matthew 22:29
    Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

    Mark 14:49
    I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.

    John 5:39
    Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

    Luke 24:32
    And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

    Acts 17:2
    And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,

    Matthew 26:56
    But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

    Luke 24:27
    And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

    1 Corinthians 15:3
    For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

    Acts 18:24
    And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

    Acts 18:28
    For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.

    Acts 17:11
    These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

    Matthew 21:42
    Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

    2 Timothy 3:15
    And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

    Romans 15:4
    For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

    Romans 16:26
    But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

    2 Peter 3:16
    As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

    PETER: EYEWITNESS POINTS TO PROPHECY

    2 Peter 1:15-19
    Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

    Peter saw Jesus after the Resurrection but, here, he shows us that most of us were not there and he was, but the prophecy and the fulfillment is MORE SURE than him seeing Jesus face to face after the Resurrection, witnessed by many more witnesses that just Peter and the other Apostles. The apostle saw Jesus after the Resurrection as an eyewitness, eligible in any court of law, but tells us that the Word of prophecy in God's Word is MORE SURE.

    1 Corinthians 14:5-8
    And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

    To repeat, Peter said that the Word of God in the prophets is more sure than these eyewitness who would hold up in any court.

    ISRAEL: WITNESS ONE FOR GOD'S EXISTENCE

    -God told Israel they were to be witnesses to all the world
    -They were to do what He said to be different than all of the other nations
    -They were to tell the whole world about God
    -If they disobeyed, they were punished, cast into captivity to serve those nations
    -In His timing, they would come back out to serve Him, and they did
    -They never evangelized like the church in the last 2,000 years-BUT!
    -The fulfilled prophecies about them, both good and bad, a major part of His Word, were the witness to the world that God exists
    -Most in Israel and the U.S. today are either atheists or indifferent to God and not testifying about God
    -One way or another they would be witnesses
    -This goes on today, since Egypt
    -No, this is not the Ashkenazi Jews from the Khazars at all, but an Israel returned to the land which is ethnically identifiable to this very day and always will be, with their capital in Jerusalem, the Holy City.
    - They have to be, since it is the only thing that proves that they are the ones who belong in that land. No one else has the right to that land. -No one but the few religious Jews will be rebuilding the temple for the Messiah to come back to
    -Why? Because it has to be UP when the Messiah comes, and was when Jesus walked on earth the first time to die for us and Israel

    Malachi 3:1
    Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

    The Messiah has to walk into His temple, and therefore He had to be around before it was destroyed in 70 A.D. This is why the Jews want to rebuild the temple, because they want their Messiah to come and save them. He was already here once to save the soul, next time it will be to rescue the nation from her enemies, then give them a thousand years of His dwelling on earth with them and their descendants to believe on Him.

    Daniel 9:26
    And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

    -So whoever this Messiah of Israel was, He came when the temple in Jerusalem was still standing and before it was destroyed in 70 A.D...
    - Add to that the fact that, the first time He came, He was coming to die for the sins of Israel, of the Gentiles, all of mankind. Not to conquer and reign.
    - It must be understood that the Jews are STILL LOOKING for the Messiah today, making it very easy for the anti-Christ to deceive them.

    1.) Fake miracles
    2.) Promising peace for Israel, once and forever, by agreement
    3.) He will have power over all of the rulers, hailed as the Messiah by them, have an image made to himself or broadcast one via "artificial intelligence"
    4.) Fake a death with a deadly wound, now healed (a resurrected Roman Empire?) 5. Take advantage of the great delusion, now preparing all to accept a lie
    6. Have a false trinity with the beast, the false prophet, the dragon 7. Use the ability of marking all with a chip to follow them all, able to be injected into their foreheads and back of their hands, microscopically inserted

    John 14:29
    And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

    Jesus told the disciples that He would be crucified and die before it came to pass, so that, when it happened, they would know, understand and remember.

    (Isaiah 48:5-6 [KJV])
    I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.

    (Isaiah 48:12-16 [KJV])
    Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together. All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans. I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous. Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.

    (Isaiah 43:9-11 [KJV])
    Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth. Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

    THE PROPHECY: THE MESSIAH

    (Genesis 3:15 [KJV])
    And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

    The seed of the woman is the Messiah of Israel, the LORD Jesus Christ.

    "Thy seed" is the seed of the serpent, and also is the world in his power for now until the LORD Jesus Christ returns and all of its God hating religions in it, now today uniting to destroy Israel. Herod tried it and failed. So will they.

    (Matthew 2:1-20 [KJV])
    Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judea, art not the least among the princes of Judea: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
    Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

    And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son

    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 enquired of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, 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. But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.

    Now, reading Revelation 13 below this list, in fact from Revelation chapter four to the end, notice it is about Israel. Those words below are in the Gospels about the birth of Jesus Christ, King of the Jews, just some of which are below from Matthew 2. This list is individual words from Matthew 2 which describe the fact that this is a JEWISH Messiah, in the land of Israel, about whom more prophecies are written than anyone else, with the names of cities, Old Testament people. etc. in Matthew 2. They are set aside for examination only. Everything God wanted us to know about about Jesus was prophesied before He was born from Genesis to Malachi.

    (Matthew 2:5-6 [KJV])
    And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

    (Micah 5:2 [KJV])
    But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

    -Bethlehem: It must be said and understood that Joseph was not the spiritual father of the LORD Jesus Christ, just the adoptive, earthly father who raised Him.
    -Also, God does certainly not have a mother, so Mary was ONLY the mother of Jesus the fleshly, earthly man, but not of God; God IS God the Father of lights.
    -Jesus is God the Son. The Holy Spirit is God the Spirit.
    -The way that it worked in taxing with the Romans was that Joseph was Mary's husband and, as such, he was from Bethlehem, the city of David, being of the lineage of David (necessary by law).
    -When all of the world was to be taxed, the law was that you had to return to his home to be taxed. That home was Bethlehem.

    (Luke 2:1 [KJV])
    And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.

    (Luke 2:3 [KJV])
    And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

    (Luke 2:5-7 [KJV])
    To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

    This is God's Sovereignty over the affairs of men.

    (Hosea 11:1 [KJV])
    When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt

    -Jeremy (Jeremiah) the prophet
    -Rama
    -Rachel weeping for her children

    (Jeremiah 31:15 [KJV])
    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.

    -The land of Israel, twice in a row verses Matthew 2:30-21
    -Galilee
    -Nazareth, a northern Israeli town. Nazarene, which is an insult is all that that means, as in He will be rejected of men:

    (Isaiah 53:3 [KJV])
    He is despised and rejected of men (called a Nazarene); a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

    -Remember the Samaritan woman at the well? How Samaritans were called dogs? A person was called a Nazarene was simply as an insult to them
    - Jesus rode into Jerusalem exactly 173,880 days to the day after the edict was given by Artexerxes to rebuild the city Jerusalem, as prophesied.

    360 days in the Jewish year times 483 years = 173, 880 days

    Daniel 9:2
    In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.

    -God had said to Jeremiah:
    "You people did not give the land its sabbaths, I will give it its sabbaths!"

    This every seventh year was the Sabbath year of the land and seventy sabbaths was 490 years, and Israel would be released Daniel lived at the end of this 490 years.
    70 years of sabbaths X 7 year sabbaths = 490 years in captivity

    -"You would not let the slaves go free........I will make YOU slaves"
    -"You would not forgive debt from your fellow Hebrews, then I will take EVERYTHING FROM YOU!"
    -Therefore, because of all of this, you OWE me seventy years of Sabbaths
    -Judgment that Daniel understood
    -Now the angel Gabriel comes to bring the prophecy forward

    (Daniel 9:24-27 [KJV])
    Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

    -Daniel 9 is the key to end times prophecy
    - Daniel 9:24-27 is a MATHEMATICAL prophecy, the key to Revelation, the Olivet Discourse, all end times prophecies

    It has to be said, known, understood well that the Great Tribulation is NOT seven years! It is the last HALF of the seven year, last week of Daniel 9:24-27. Two three and a half year periods, one with a false peace between Israel and the anti-Christ, the last three and a half when the anti-Christ breaking that covenant of peace and all hell breaks loose for three and a half years of plagues, war, all sorts of chaos on earth.

    - Notice it is seventy, but also 69 and one, with a gap (the Church age)
    -- Notice it 69 divided into 62 and 7 seven year periods
    -Daniel is a captive in Babylon
    -He already has a copy of Jeremiah (Daniel 9:2)
    -Not only of Jeremiah, but Daniel understood "by books" (plural)
    -"Thy people" is the Jews
    -"Thy Holy City" is Jerusalem
    -Israel will not sin against God any longer
    -To seal up the vision and prophecy-ALL DONE
    -To anoint the Most Holy-Jesus Christ's reign on earth
    -This did not happen in 490 years, why?
    -Those 490 years were divided into time frams is why
    -From the commandment (Artexerxes) to rebuild Jerusalem -standing when Daniel was there>>>>>>>>>Messiah the Prince=69 weeks on the Jewish calendar of 360 day years,
    -"the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;" This is the same evil in the hearts of those in the first century in 70 A.D. who destroyed the temple, that same evil supporting the anti-Christ "the prince that shall come" in the Great Tribulation
    -Israel has waited 2,000 years for their Messiah; the world is waiting for a world leader to bring peace on earth and solve all of earth's problems

    But Daniel 9:26 says the temple would be destroyed

    ISRAEL

    God tells us that Israel is represented by several things, one of them being the fig tree. That is important in these last days, as the Olivet Discourse mentions Israel as being the sign of the times:

    Mark 13:28-33
    Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

    ISRAEL: THE LAND, THE PEOPLE, GOD'S GLORY

    Leviticus 25:23
    The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

    Psalms 50:12
    If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

    Romans 9:1-5
    I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

    Genesis 15:18
    In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

    -This is from the Nile River, also called the river
    - To the Euphrates River, and that all takes in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan
    - They had that land and lost it. David recovered it in 2 Samuel
    - You cannot recover that which you never had
    - David recovered it in 2 Samuel because it was already theirs that God gave them forever in the covenant with Abraham, passed down through Isaac and Jacob

    FIVE TIMES IN DEUTERONOMY 12, GOD SAYS THAT LAND IS THEIRS HE CHOSE FOR THEM

    Deuteronomy 12:5
    But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:

    Deuteronomy 12:9
    For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you.

    Deuteronomy 12:10
    But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;

    Deuteronomy 12:11
    Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:

    Deuteronomy 12:14
    But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.

    Deuteronomy 12:20
    When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.

    Deuteronomy 12:21
    If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.

    Deuteronomy 12:26
    Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose:

    Deuteronomy 12:29
    When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;

    2 Samuel 8:3-6
    David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates. And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots. And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men. Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

    Deuteronomy 11:24
    Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.

    - God would use Israel to remove the pagans out of the land for their abominations, at war, giving those nations into their hands
    - God waited until the fullness of the wicked of the Amorites happened to then judge them, using His people Israel
    - As a reward, as a compensation, God said He would give them that land that they cleared out and it would be theirs forever
    - As long as they did not practice those abominations themselves, they could stay in that land
    - Failing that, they themselves would be cast out in His anger, in captivity under their enemies for a time and, but there would always be a remnant, and they would always be returned to their land, when they repented, in these days fulfilled in 1948 for one past time, even though they have not this time repented, because it is by grace and a fulfillment of His Word, the last days prophecy of Israel..

    2 Chronicles 6:6-7
    But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel. Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

    Numbers 34:1-12
    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:) Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward: And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon: And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea. And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border. And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor: From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad: And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border. And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham: And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward: And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.

    Deuteronomy 28:63-64
    And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.

    Israel's Land

    THE COVENANT REAFFIRMED THROUGH ISAAC

    Genesis 28:3-4
    And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people; And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.

    THE COVENANT REAFFIRMED THROUGH JACOB

    Genesis 35:10-12
    And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.

    ISRAEL'S ENEMIES TODAY STILL THINK THIS IS THEIR LAND

    (Zechariah 12:2-3 [AKJV/PCE])
    Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

    Leviticus 20:24, 26
    But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people....v. 26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.

    Not only did God tell us that Jerusalem and Israel would be so hated and attacked until Jesus returns, but that this city, Jerusalem, would also be the "key to world peace" for the anti-Christ to have a false peace for three and a half years, soon coming to earth.

    THE "ISHMAEL" LIE

    Genesis 25:1-6
    Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah. And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
    But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.

    The Arabs are not the descendants of Ishmael. That little biblical truth, fact alone should end the discussion on it. But all cults do not like facts and truth.
    There was then, as today, so much intermarriage between the Ishmaelites and the Midianites that God and man called the Midianites Ishmaelites and God and the people called Ishmaelites Midianites.

    There was also intermarriage between the descendants of Ishmael and the descendants of Esau. This makes the Ishmaelites, Midianites, Edomites and all else a very impure group of people.

    THE DIFFERENCE: ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB

    - The Israelites were in Egypt 400 years and came out of captivity as Jews, ejected the same as when they went in
    - They were commanded to wipe all men, women and children, even beasts, from the places where they were given the land by God to have, because God owns it all.

    Psalms 50:12
    If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

    To this day, there is still and ethnic group, a pure nation with the capability of tracing their lineage back to Abraham in Jewish records, kept. Did Jews ever intermarry? Yes! They were then no longer part of Israel at that point. The ones who followed God did not, and kept the nation to this day preserved as an identifiable ethnic group, clan, family. This is how and why God mentions the twelve tribes who are not lost, now home or coming home to Israel, in the book of Revelation 7:4-8, below.

    THE "KHAZAR / ASHKENAZI" LIE

    There is this lie today going through in the Laodicean apostate "Christian" church(es) and the atheopaths, Muslims, around the world and in America is that the real Jews in Israel are not real Jews, not even descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but rather descendants of the "Askenazi Jews", descendants of the "Khazars", Turkish, Russian, Ukranian area pagans during A.D. 600s-700s who adopted the Jewish religion.

    Except that this is false. The Khazars were conquered in A.D. 965 by the then Russians, they fled the entire area and there is, as usual, no evidence that they ever interbred that much at all with real Jews and, most certainly never did so in any such amount as to destroy the Jewish blood, the Jewish people, their heritage, in order to make them "lost" in any way. Jews today are still the same as those in Bible times. All twelve existing tribes mentioned in Revelation Chapter seven:

    Revelation 7:3-8
    Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

    All of these are JEWISH tribes of ISRAEL, not lost, now in their land or returning from the rest of the world. They were NEVER lost. They never can be. God always knows where they are. The Khazars themselves disappeared, not the Jews. So this is a common lie, often repeated today n American and European churches. Those Khazars are gone....Israel is back in their land. It is why they are hated. it is why it is, once again,. PROPHECY GIVEN, PROPHECY FULFILLED.

    THE REASON IS SIMPLE

    The enemy wants all evidence of Israel's existence wiped out and is angry they are protected by God Who he hates. He uses mankind and feeds him lies which he is gullible to believe in his last days delusion, to give mankind the desire to hate the Jews, hate Israel and want them gone. Each day they exist we are closer to the LORD's return and the Pre-Tribulation Rapture, the Great Tribulation with the focus back on Israel forever. It is their forever land, always was, always will be and now they are in it. This is all fulfillment of prophecy.

    - The "in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed" part is what the enemy hates
    - This is the Gospel in Genesis 3:15:

    Genesis 3:15
    And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

    - The enemy is angry because God accomplished this through the JEWISH Messiah, the LION of the tribe of Judah, Who will reign on the through of His father David forever in Jerusalem.
    - Jesus defeated the enemy at the Cross forever, his sentence soon to be handed down
    - He knows the prophecy about Israel proves God exists and hates that and thinks that, in his delusion, that IF ONLY he could destroy Israel, this would prove there is no God, thinking he then could be worshipped as god Read all of Revelation to see how this all unfolds.
    - He knows the prophecy in Revelation and will do everything to try and avoid his fate and wants to wipe out Israel.
    - Last days prophecy, the great delusion, spoken of by the prophets, being fulfilled according the God's will, perfectly, in His time

    THE FAILURE OF ISRAEL'S TO TAKE IT, THEIR JUDGMENT

    (Zechariah 12:8-19
    In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

    ISRAEL: GOD'S PEOPLE

    Isaiah 43:1
    But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

    (Exodus 4:22 [AKJV/PCE])
    And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:

    (Exodus 5:3 [AKJV/PCE])
    And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.

    (Exodus 6:4 [AKJV/PCE])
    And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.

    (Numbers 33:51-53 [KJV])
    Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan; Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places: And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.

    God owns the earth and gave that land to Israel. It is now their land, and He, using Israel, removed His enemies, the idolaters, from that land. No one else owns the earth and can decide who gets what land but God. Oh, and at the Cross, Jesus purchased the earth back from the temporary possession given to the enemy by Adam and Eve at the Fall

    Luke 4:5-8
    And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

    Matthew 4:8
    Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

    Before the Cross, Jesus did not question that the earth was in the hands of the god of this world.

    Now today, after the Cross, Jesus took back the title deed to earth and is waiting to exercise that deed. Ultimately, God owns it all.

    (Exodus 19:5-6 [KJV])
    Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

    (Exodus 50:10-12 [KJV])
    For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

    (Numbers 36:2 [KJV])
    And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.

    (Isaiah 1:25-27 [KJV])
    And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin: And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city. Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

    (Isaiah 2:1-3 [KJV])
    The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

    Despite all that God had against Israel for her sins, spoken of in Isaiah and the prophets, He kept saying that he wanted to extend grace and mercy to them:

    (Isaiah 5:25 [KJV])
    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.

    (Isaiah 9:12 [KJV])
    The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

    (Isaiah 9:17 [KJV])
    Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

    (Isaiah 9:21 [KJV])
    Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

    (Isaiah 10:4 [KJV])
    Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

    (Isaiah 14:27 [KJV])
    For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?


    THE SEED AND ORIGIN OF ISRAEL

    (Genesis 12:1-3 [KJV])
    Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

    (Genesis 13:12-15 [KJV])
    Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly. And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

    -Abram was later renamed by God Abraham

    Genesis 17:5
    Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

    -Abraham first begat Ishmael through Sarai's handmaiden, Hagar, who then became all of the nations as enemies of Israel then to today. The result is Israel's enemies ever since, today all of the muslim nations surrounding her, trying to destroy her. This was done because Abram and Sarah did not trust God and, without faith think she could not bear a child. This Ishmael was not the child of promise, not the child of faith, but the child of the flesh, because Sarah did not believe God and so took things into her own hands. After this, God changed her name to Sarah, and still renewed that promise to Abraham, saying He STILL would give her a son from her own body.

    Genesis 16:3-5
    And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife. And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.

    Genesis 16:11
    And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

    -Abraham begat Isaac, the child of promise, in his and Sarah's old age, a miracle

    Genesis 15:4-6
    And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

    Genesis 21:1-5
    And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him. And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.

    -Isaac begat Jacob, later renamed by God Israel

    - Isaac also begat Jacob's twin brother Esau, who then was to inherit everything as the firstborn via his birthright, but sold that birthright to Jacob for one meal, a bowl of pottage, porridge, stew, a thick soup. So then Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel), called that then as today, gets the land, the promises of blessings then, through today, to the future forever.
    -Thus, Israel is both a people and a land to this day, and forever
    - It is through Israel that the Messiah, the Christ, th seed of Abraham through the lineage through David, was given to us - It is through Israel that we got our Scriptures through the scribes down through the ages

    THE CALLING OF ABRAM, RENAMED BY GOD ABRAHAM

    (Genesis 12:1-3 [AKJV/PCE])
    Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

    At the time before the calling of Abraham to leave his country to become a great nation in a land (Canaan) God would give them, there was a one world language, mankind trying to form a one world government, with a one world religion, at the tower of Babel, made to reach heaven. God confounded the languages, scattering all, dividing into different areas of the world, all over the globe. God brings Israel into Egypt under the rule of Joseph, Jacob's son, and she goes into captivity 400 years, to be released after ten plagues Israel under Joshua conquers all of the land given to Israel, the land of their enemies.

    (Genesis 13:14-15 [AKJV/PCE])
    ¶ And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

    (Genesis 15:5 [AKJV/PCE])
    And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.

    (Genesis 24:7 [AKJV/PCE])
    ¶ The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.

    -Abram was renamed by God to Abraham
    -Abraham begat Isaac
    -Isaac begat Jacob, later renamed by God Israel
    -Thus, Israel is both a people, a land and a people tied to that land to this day
    -They are the only nation on earth with the right to occupy and live in that land, because God said so and God gave it to them

    (Romans 9:7 [KJV])
    Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

    (Hebrews 11:17 [KJV])
    By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

    GOD'S PURPOSE FOR ISRAEL

    -Israel became a great nation. blessed of God with riches to bless all other nations
    -Israel gave us God's Word, inspired by God to write, record, copy, preserve it
    -Israel gave us the Messiah, the LORD Jesus Christ of the tribe of Jewish Judah

    (Isaiah 9:6-8 [KJV])
    For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

    -Israel has been called, taken out of nations, used by God to draw His enemies out to try (and fail) to destroy her, so that he can show Himself their God and Savior by destroying the pagan nations, especially under Joshua to establish their land he gave them ub Gus promise to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel)

    (Leviticus 18:24-25 [KJV])
    Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.

    It must be understood that the land was given to ISRAEL and no one else, and God cast out using Israel, using a lure, to destroy them for their abominations and gave Israel their land He promised to Abraham, Isaac, Israel (Jacob). God even warned Israel herself not to do the abominable things that the inhabitants were doing when God cast the nations out for Israel or they also would be judged. They were, many times. But Israel herself was always preserved as a remnant and restored to her land, today one last time.

    THE GOD OF ISRAEL

    Outside of other ways to say it, such as "The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob", as that is recorded God calls Himself "The God of Israel" over 200 times in His Word, from Exodus to Malachi and in Matthew 15:31. No other nation group is called that. Now add in "the God of Abraham", "the God of Jacob", the God of Isaac", "My people Israel" and more and you have undeniable proof that God is their God and Israel is His people.

    (Isaiah 54:5 [KJV])
    For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

    (Isaiah 54:10 [KJV])
    For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

    THE "PALESTINIAN" PROBLEM TODAY

    Liars of Hamas

    -"Palestinian"............derogatory word used originally on Jews, Israel as an insult. Comes from the word "Philistine"
    -That word name was coined by Yasser Arafat's father, as a swipe at Israel
    -"Palestinians".........are actually Arabians, Jordanians, Egyptians, Iranians, Iraquis, Sudanese, Syrians, Libyans, Yemenis, etc.-occupiers of Israel's land
    -"Hamas"................terrorist organization, confused purposely and purposefully by mass media with normal residents of that area in the Gaza strip.
    -Islam....a barbaric, warrior cult, characterized by absolute submission to Shariah law, wherein any violation can be punishable by death, beheadings, hangings, burnings, hands, limbs cut off, etc.
    -"Taquiyya".................the right to lie for "Allah" (satan) to further the cause of Islam
    -"Jihad"...............wipe out all infidels, but especially Jews, and take over the world for "Allah" (satan).
    -Jacob (Israel).. people tied to the land God gave them.... about ten to fifty times the size larger than what they were given by God, not the UN miniature they reside in today
    -Israel..........a land surrounded by her enemies who occupy dozens times more land (much of which is Israel's, given by God Himself)
    -"Kindergarten" through high "Schools" are merely government indoctrination centers, nationwide, who take your child or children into a building you cannot enter without their permission, and can ONLY tell YOUR children hatever they decide you can with their leadership who indoctrinate YOUR children
    -College...............a place where you leave your brain at the door, remain mentally like a ten years old, learn what to think (whatever they tell you), not learn HOW to think, only what to say, only what to read, only what to answer on tests, only what to write on essays, in order to get that sheepskin (no brain needed, just memorize and regurgitate the garbage back)
    -The Hebrew scribes were tasked with copying the Scriptures in a very faithful, laborious process, doing it so well that we today in English have it perfectly translated in the Old Testament into English, in our King James Bible
    -Lastly, it must be understood that all Israel had to do was intermarry, intermingle with other nations, and change and completely lose their identity, to escape persecution, and all would have been safe for them, as they would not exist as a pure Israel any longer and the world would have no reason to hate them, nor ability to erase a non-existent people

    In the words of the late Dave Hunt:
    "Yet, in spite of a thousand Hitlers determined to exterminate them, the Jews would be preserved as an identifiable ethnic people and brought back to their own land in the last days just before anti-Christ would set up his kingdom and, so it happened in 1948. Even more astonishing, the Bible said that Jerusalem would become the key to world peace and would be a cup of trembling, a burdensome stone around the necks of all Nations and today exactly as prophesied, Jerusalem is the United Nations number one problem and the world looks on in fear and trembling knowing that the next World War could break out at any moment over that tiny city"

    THE LAND WAS DESOLATE DESERT

    This area was well over half a pure desert wilderness, and was so for close to two thousand years because of the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. by the Romans, and the fact that only Israel ever kept it fertile throughout recorded history. The Negev Desert was then and is today known as one of the harshest, most desolate, and cruelest, unforgiving, toughest deserts in the world. Israel turned all of that region that they touched upon their return into a breadbasket for literally a large part of the nations on the earth, still to this day. This all happened within one generation decades ago. The phrase "making the desert bloom" refers to this event even today.

    - Invented technology to get water by drip irrigation (now used in over 100 countries)
    - They invented a way to desalinate the Mediterranean Sea for fresh water
    - Invented and used wastewater recycling to conserve and reuse 85% of their water
    - Invented and built climate controlled greenhouses
    - Invented and used shade net farming
    - Invented and used hydroponics, not needing soil to grow food
    - Invented and used salt-resistant and drought resistant crops
    - GOD BLESSED ISRAEL IN HER LAND
    - She feeds the world and no other nation can say they did this with having noting but sand and rocks and little rain to work with

    Acts 8:26
    And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.

    THE FUTURE OF ISRAEL

    Below is a study on Romans chapter eleven, because it illustrates God's dealings with Israel today, a massive part of current last days prophecy fulfillment. One problem in America in the churches is "replacement theology" because they neglect to read prophecy and, when they do, they ignore key verses which clearly state that God is not done with Israel. These last days are rife, filled with hatred for God's people Israel in every corner. It is quickly growing in intensity daily, among all peoples on earth, including Christians and "Christians".

    ROMANS 11

    The lies, the fake, false arguments that the haters make are (as of now, not tomorrow)

    -"The Jews killed Jesus!" (no, your sin did)
    -"God is done with them, for good, forever!" (When He said He was not)
    -"The church officially replaced them 2,000 years ago!"
    - "It was Ishmael and not Isaac God made land and all other promises of blessings to!"

    -Unlikely enemies are now united, such as atheopathic communists here and in Communist countries like Russia and China, uniting with Islamic republics and uniting with the Vatican
    -Now add the American "churches", and even many in the United States, because of the invasions of muslims since the terrorist attack of September 11
    -Many false "peace" agreements where Israel gives land for "peace", with the U.S. "brokering, negotiating" them.

    (Romans 11:1 [KJV])
    I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

    -This one verse by Paul says enough to destroy all "replacement theology" liars, hereticks. The reason it does not is that its acceptance is also a last days prophecy fulfillment.
    -Today, Christians, "Christians", famous televangelists, "Christian" authors, pastors of mega churches, many Americans, Europeans and most of the world thinks that God has abandoned Israel for good, despite seeing them in their land once again, recapturing and regaining their capital, God's Holy city of Jerusalem and them being attacked on all sides, in fulfillment of the Scriptures, after thousands of years of exile, being scattered all over the world.
    -One cannot get any clearer than God saying HE is not done with the Jews and the nation of Israel
    -Now the following entire chapter, in the context of the rest of the Word of God, clarifies this all very succinctly
    -There was, is and always will be a remnant of Jews in and out of ISrael who folow God, like in Elijah's day, so today.

    (Romans 11:2-3 [KJV])
    God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

    -Repeated, in case one is not paying attention to Him in the first verse with Elijah the prophet as the example
    -God told Elijah there would be a remnant, not to worry. That was always what God said, always what God did. Prophecy.......fulfillment, over and over, then to now
    -Has Israel sinned and walked away from God? Of course!
    -So have we when we sinned and broken fellowship with God until we confess and repent:

    1 John 1:8-9
    If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

    -Has God put her into captivity many times in the borders of her enemy, for many years, as punishment for their sins? Of course!
    -Has God always been faithful to Israel, even after that? Of course!
    -Now think about yourself and God and replace Israel with your name on each of these questions
    -Israel sinned. Now don't look down your nose at them. You cannot say you have not sinned or else you are self-deceived. It says so right there in 1 John 1:8-9 above
    -Clearly, Israel as a people shows clearly God's grace and mercy, as He shows you and I
    -Now, has God abandoned YOU? Same answer to both questions
    -Israel heaped soil to make the altars because they were commanded to be earthen and not made by masons, carpenters, etc. so as to not be like the pagans making towers to get to heaven, like the tower of Babel. They were not to be made by human hnds, not fashioned.

    Genesis 11:4
    And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

    (Hebrews 13:5 [KJV])
    Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

    (Romans 11:4 [KJV])
    But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.

    -As was said earlier, there was always, is still today a remnant and always will be a remnant until, the LORD returns
    -A remnant will make it through the Great Tribulation as well, to enter into the Millennial Kingdom of the LORD Jesus Christ

    (Romans 11:5 [KJV])
    Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

    -This is the same exact grace that saves us then as now
    -So then, if that grace today is not extended to Israel today, as in Paul's day and before, we are also not saved by that grace and are lost in our sins, bound for hell!
    -Same God in Scripture, same grace, same grace by faith available to them as it is to us, same salvation for a nation in a remnant and extended to us Gentiles in the Church, now and forever

    (Romans 11:6 [KJV])
    And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

    -It was for them, as well as us, always by grace through faith, then, now and forever
    -Grace and works are exact, polar opposites
    -We obey God because we love Him and appreciate that He saved us from hell.
    - We love Him because He first loved us who are unlovable

    (Romans 11:7 [KJV])
    What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded

    -There ya go. This is what ushered in the church age, called the "times of the Gentiles"
    -What did this election obtain? Eternal life through the Messiah
    -God chooses us ALL for salvation, but not all will be saved-both GENTILE AND JEW
    -ALL names will be written in the Lamb's book of life, but some will be blotted out of that same book

    (Revelation 3:5 [KJV])
    He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

    (Romans 11:8 [KJV])
    (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

    -It is not complicated. To usher in the church age, God temporarily shelved them (Romans 1:16, to the Jew first and also the Greek (Gentile)
    -God allows anyone else also to be blinded and deaf to the Gospel because we want to be and reject it, stopping our ears
    -The choice is our to see and hear and then God gives us what we want if we choose it: blindness and deafness or salvation by grace through faith-our choice

    (Romans 11:9-10 [KJV])
    And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.

    -Paul is quoting David in Psalms 69:22-23, below

    (Psalms 69:22-23 [KJV])
    Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

    (Romans 11:11 [KJV])
    I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

    -We cannot ever fully understand the Word of God from a Jewish perspective, not being Jews ourselves
    -A Messianic Jew then can understand it like we cannot, being their Scriptures, knowing their ancestry, culture, heritage, practices more personal to them than do we Gentiles
    -This is what the "to the Jew first and also to the Greek" after them means in Romans 1:16, in addition to the Messiah, the LORD Jesus came for Israel first, then the focus was turned over to the Gentiles

    Acts 13:46
    Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

    That is all, a blindness until the fullness of the Gentiles, that last person get saved and God returns His total focus on Israel in the Great Tribulation. He said so.

    -No Gentiles in great numbers ever came willingly to Israel in the Old Testament, outside of the book of Ruth with Naomi, et al
    -That Gospel to us Gentiles in the church is a Jewish Gospel, from the Jews, written in a Jewish book about their Jewish Messiah the LORD Jesus Christ
    -After they mostly rejected Jesus, in Acts, on the day of Pentecost, after until the end of the church age, it was turned over to the Gentiles

    NO, BEING A CHRISTIAN DOES NOT MAKE US JEWISH

    It makes us "Jew-ISH", because our origin of our Bible and our Messiah was out of Israel, out of the Jews. So thank a Jew for both.

    However, that never stops cults. The "Jewish Roots Movement" or "Hebrew Roots Movement" is an attempt to return Christians to a lie, to legalism, to Judaism, as Judaizers, and not even being Jews, but lowly Gentiles, as is Seventh Day Adventism, etc. There is no justification from God's Word and Paul told Peter this. We are not to keep the Law but obey the LORD Jesus Christ. Not that the law was bad, but it di not save a single soul. Should we love our neighbor? Yes. Should we get circumcised to be saved? No. Should we keep the Sabbath to be saved? No. We do not have a Sabbath day, but Jesus is our Sabbath. He LORD of the Sabbath.

    To understand this, the entire book of the Acts of the Apostles must be understood as only the transitional book between Israel and the church, which is obvious from reading it, not reading into it, as it teaches a transition from the nation and people of Israel of the Old Testament to the church in the New Testament, from Jew to Gentile, from Peter the apostle to the Jews, to Paul the apostle to the Gentiles. This misunderstanding and that of Galatians 2:1-21, Romans 11:1-36 and in other epistles leads to the false teaching of trying to keep the law to be saved, to "replacement theology" and other rank, smelly heresies.

    Galatians 6:13
    For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

    1 Corinthians 7:18
    Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.

    Galatians 2:3
    But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:

    Galatians 5:2
    Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

    Galatians 5:3
    For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

    Acts 15:1
    And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.

    Acts 16:3
    Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.

    Philippians 3:5
    Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

    Galatians 6:12
    As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

    Acts 15:24
    Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:

    Colossians 2:11
    In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

    Acts 7:8
    And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.

    Romans 4:11
    And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

    Galatians 2:2
    And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.

    Paul rebuked Peter for this:

    Galatians 4:11
    But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.

    Galatians 4:14
    But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

    -We are not Jews, and therefore, being already saved by grace through faith, are not required to keep t he law, except for order in the family, civility, as our testimony by examining ourselves, our witness to the word of our Christianity, and not a legalistic keeping of their laws
    -There were ceremonial laws, moral laws, animal keeping and breeding laws, sacrificial laws for the altar to cover (not remove) sins, dietary laws, etc.
    -We keep the Ten commandments because we do not want to lie, murder, be idolaters, and to simply "love thy neighbor as thy love thyself", because God knows we love ourself.

    Ephesians 5:29
    For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

    -We love our neighbor as we love ourselves because we love ourselves.

    ALSO TO THE GREEKS (GENTILES)

    (Acts 11:18 [KJV])
    When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

    (Acts 13:46 [KJV])
    Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

    (Acts 14:27 [KJV])
    And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.

    (Acts 18:6 [KJV])
    And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

    (Acts 22:21 [KJV])
    And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.

    (Acts 26:20 [KJV])
    But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

    (Acts 26:23 [KJV])
    That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.

    (Acts 28:28 [KJV])
    Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

    (Romans 11:12 [KJV])
    Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

    -Exactly like above, how a Messianic Jew now much more fully understands that Old Testament

    (Romans 11:13-14 [KJV])
    For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.

    emulation
    em·​u·​la·​tionˌ em-yə-ˈlā-shən -yü-
    1: ambition or endeavor to equal or excel others (as in achievement) 2 a: imitation
    b : the use of or technique of using an emulator
    3 obsolete : ambitious or envious rivalry

    -Paul wanted Jews to get saved, any way they could, by being jealous of him preaching to the Gentiles, by him going into the synagogues to preach the Gospel as a Jew, while the may know he was called to be a preaacher and an aspostle to the Gentiles
    -"some of them", knowing that not all would be, but a remnant ofthe remnant of Jews.
    -These were his flash "my flesh"

    (Romans 11:15 [KJV])
    For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

    -Either it is love for the world and perishing like the world, or love for Jesus Christ and living as not of this world.

    1 John 2:15-16
    Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

    (Romans 11:16 [KJV])
    For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

    -This is in history in God's plan
    -This was in Acts and is a principle for today to follow
    -Jesus Christ is that firstfruit, we are that lump.
    -A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump, our reason to follow Jesus Christ

    1 Corinthians 5:6-8
    Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth

    -Roots of any plants determine the plant, how good it is, from the soil it lives in, the nutrients it takes into itself

    (Romans 11:17 [KJV])
    And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

    -This is the botanical definition of Romans 1:16 "to the Jew first, nd also to the Greek"
    -Israel is the olive tree and we were graffed in when Paul said "we turn to the Gentiles

    (Romans 11:18 [KJV])
    Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

    -Yeah, do not act like, as Christians, we are so special, and are "replacing Israel". We are not.
    -God chose you in a different way than how He chose Israel, but both are saved by grace through faith. God chose Israel to show His Glory through this nation, ans to bring the Messiah by whom both of us are saved, Jew and Gentile (Greek)

    (Romans 11:19 [KJV])
    Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.

    -God had and has a plan, knowing all of this beforehand.

    (Romans 11:20 [KJV])
    Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

    -Exactly, and this section proves that the context of any verses determines the mean of that one verse
    -Do not boast against the branches and DO fear God.

    (Romans 11:21 [KJV])
    For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

    -This means that, if you disobey God as saved, you do not lose your salvation, but you can lose your life.

    1 Corinthians 11:24-30
    And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.


    -The communion is to be taken after we confess, pray, repent, and not before, coming to God with a clear conscience, knowing that it does not save us , but is in remembrance of the LORD's death until He comes"
    -For disobedience, many are taken home early
    -Lie continuing in sin as though unsaved

    (Romans 11:22 [KJV])
    Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

    -A warning to us then that we walk worthy of being called a Christian, as the world is watching and God is not interested in fleshly people who have a bad testimony and witness with their lives
    -Were they ever saved? If they live a long life like this, in this state, no.

    Matthew 7:16-23
    Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 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. 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? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

    -This is speaking of "Christians" and how to discern if that is what they are, or are playing "church" with their lives.

    (Romans 11:23 [KJV])
    And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.

    -This would be a believing Jew, formerly unbelieving, who was a "branch cut off"

    (Romans 11:24 [KJV])
    For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

    -We are wild olive branches, who were grafted in later
    -They are natural branches, who were lopped off so we could be grated in, whi then got saved

    (Romans 11:25 [KJV])
    For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

    -Blindness......in part..........rtemporarily, until? ... "the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.".

    (Romans 11:26 [KJV])
    And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

    -Again, God has a future for Israel and is not done
    -Jesus Christ, at the end of Revelation, will save Israel from her enemies, surrounding her on all sides to destroy her as a worldwide coalition
    -Israel will then turn to the LORD and they will get saved, no more unrighteousness, spiritually declared righteous in t he Millennial Kingdom of the LORD Jesus Christ

    (Romans 11:27 [KJV])
    For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

    -God's covenant with thm is not temporary
    -This is the same as all of the covenants He made with them

    (Romans 11:28 [KJV])
    As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.

    -So this is the argument and doctrine: Jews then and now, who are not saved rejected and reject their Messiah, making them enemies then as now
    -That said, "they are beloved for the fathers' sakes", meaning that God has a plan for them, everlasting, eternal, that means they are chosen by Him and have a future

    (Romans 11:29 [KJV])
    For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

    -Rejecting Israel as the above means one calls God a liar, saying He is done with them, when He said He is not
    -Numbers 23:19 says that this is impossible

    Numbers 23:19
    God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

    -So it is impossible for God to lie

    Hebrews 6:18
    That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

    (Romans 11:30-31 [KJV])
    For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

    -When God is done with the church, after the Rapture, He will again to run His mercy upon Israel

    Matthew 24 32-35:
    Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

    The fig tree is Israel, placed back into her land in 1948. There are many still alive from that day's generation around the world.

    (Romans 11:32 [KJV])
    For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

    -We are all born in unbelief from the moment we are aware that we sin, at a certain age of our lives which varies
    -God WANTS to have mercy upon all, the Jew and the Gentile
    -It is extended like and outstretched arm, but after that, it is up to us to accept that mercy

    Isaiah 5:25
    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.

    Isaiah 9:12
    The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

    Isaiah 9:21
    Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

    Isaiah 10:4
    Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

    Psalms 136:12
    With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever.

    (Romans 11:33 [KJV])
    O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

    -AMEN! Study His Word for a lifetime and, when we get to heven, we find that there was so much more to learn!

    (Romans 11:34-35 [KJV])
    For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

    -The answer (not implied, but revealed) to those two questions is "NO ONE!" and not much needs to be added to that
    -The only way to know God and His will in our lives is by the Holy Spirit guiding us through His Word in careful study, prayer, submitting to the Holy Ghost.

    (Romans 11:36 [KJV])
    For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

    -And this is why He is the Alpha, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last, right there

    It must be clearly stated here and understood that the whole heresy of "Replacement Theology" where the church replaces Israel is very deadly and dangerous, like "Going from Augustine to Auschwitz" and has no place in Scripture, but is openly and very widely accepted in American churches today. This next holocaust in Revelation is due to this and we are on that road today.

    Dave Hunt: "Christ comes to take His Bride to heaven! Some of these people say, “Well, you know, you’re telling people that the Rapture’s going to come before the Antichrist and the Great Tribulation, well, what are you going to do if you face the Antichrist, and suddenly, you’ve got people facing the Antichrist, and you’ve deceived them, and they’re not prepared for this. They could be deceived!”
    Really? Nobody’s going to deceive me into thinking that he’s Christ unless he takes me to heaven! If the Antichrist can do that, let him give it a try. But he can’t do it! So, the Christ that I’m looking for has the marks of Calvary, and He’s going to catch me up and take me to heaven. But the Christ these people are looking for has got to rule over the kingdom that they’ve established for him. So they say, “We’re going to take over the world. We are Israel!” And that’s the fourth heresy that surrounds this church. “The Church is Israel.” The church is not Israel. There is a distinction between the church and Israel, and if you mix the church up with Israel, you will not understand prophecy at all"

    Romans 10:1
    Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

    If the "Replacement Theology" hereticks were right, it would read,

    "Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the CHURCH is, that they might be saved."

    But Paul did not say that, did he? No, because Paul was talking about ISRAEL, his own people, being of the tribe of Benjamin.

    Jeremiah 23:7-8
    Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.


    As Christians, we should know all, everything about Israel that God tells us

    (Deuteronomy 29:29 [KJV])
    The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

    -Because of the lack of faith in the first century, God has now opened the door to the Gentiles in this age, the church age, as it says here, "until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.".
    -When the focus returns to Israel after the Rapture, at the end of the church age, God will preserve Israel through the reign and rule of the enemy, the anti-Christ, until the LORD Jesus Christ returns and destroys the enemies of Israel, bringing Israel into the Millennial Kingdom
    -It says all Israel will believe at that point, and then, as people, will have children for a thousand years, who may or may not obey God and, like the Old Testament, will be judged with death

    1. Israel is God's barometer, so that we know where we are in history, in prophetic fulfillment.
    2. Israel is God's people, because He chose them because He loved/loves them

    (Deuteronomy 23:5 [KJV])
    Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.

    -God will preserve, protect them against all enemies, forever, according to His promises
    -God promised them land, a lot more than they occupy today, and it is currently in the hands of their sworn enemies, who cannot oust her ever again, nor destroy her, ever
    -God promised them a great number, innumerable, of people
    -God chose Isaac over Ishmael, sovereignly against His law

    (Genesis 21:12 [KJV])
    And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

    (Romans 9:7 [KJV])
    Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

    (Hebrews 11:18 [KJV])
    Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

    -God said Ishmael would also be a great nation, but that he, corporately, would serve Israel, that Israel would be over them, superior, Divinely protected, which has happened
    -God chose Jacob over Esau, sovereignly against His law

    (Romans 9:13 [KJV])
    As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

    -God gave Israel a specific land, theirs forever, allowed them to oust the unbelievers out of it and establish a kingdom for them, one day soon ruled over by Him
    -Israel alone was chosen by God Himself as the nation that the Messiah, the Christ, God manifest in the flesh, for all of mankind to be saved, would come from
    -The Gospel itself was first preached at Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and then afterwards to the rest of the Gentile world, according to Matthew 28:19-20 and Romans 1:16, etc.
    -Israel is the sole nation on earth which was conquered, scattered and returned, not just once, but several times, and every attempt to wipe her out has since failed and always will. No other nation has been persecuted as much, and many of her enemies literally no longer exist because of the Judgment God gave them for this
    -So far in history, all prophecies concerning Israel have literally been fulfilled in large numbers to date, many more to go, and all will be.
    -In the book of the Revelation, the focus after chapter three on earth is all Israel, her twelve tribes, making a peace covenant with the anti-Christ, then having it broken by him, then being persecuted for the last time, Jesus Christ Himself saving them before he can wipe them out.
    -Outside of the obvious evidence of Creation (Romans 1:20) Israel, her very existence, is absolute and very clear proof of the existence of God, so this is precisely the reason that the god of this world is trying to get that world to turn, all of them against her, to wipe her out. His ultimate failure will once again still show that our Sovereign God is over them, controlling all that goes on and protecting Israel from utter destruction


    GOD CHOSE ISRAEL

    "Israel was born in Egypt. Israel went into Egypt as a family and came out as a nation."
    - Chuck Missler, Israel and the Church - My People Israel - Chuck Missler

    (Deuteronomy 7:6-10 ([KJV])
    For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.

    (Revelation 13:4-8 ([KJV])
    And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 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. 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.

    (Revelation 20:4 [AKJV/PCE])
    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.

    (Hebrews 13:8 [AKJV/PCE])
    Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

    (Malachi 3:6 [AKJV/PCE])
    For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

    ISAAC: CHILD OF PROMISE

    (Genesis 17:19-21 [AKJV/PCE])
    And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.

    (Genesis 21:1-3 [AKJV/PCE])
    And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.

    THE COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM CONFIRMED WITH ISAAC, JACOB

    (Genesis 26:1-5([KJV])
    And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

    Genesis 28:1-4
    And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother. And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people; And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.

    And God blessed him as well.

    Genesis 28:13-15
    And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

    The is the Gospel to the Gentiles.........through the Messiah of Israel.

    (Genesis 26:23-24 ([KJV])
    And he went up from thence to Beersheba. And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.

    ISRAEL: WHO YOU ARE AND HERE YOU ARE: ACTS 7

    Psalms 105
    O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth. He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

    And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it. When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people; He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread. He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

    Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies. He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants. He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen. They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word. He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings. He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts. He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land. He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

    He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number, And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them. He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
    For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people; That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD
    .

    Acts 7:1
    Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
    Acts 6:13-14
    And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law: For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.

    Acts 7:2
    And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
    Psalms 29:3
    The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.

    Genesis 12:1-4
    Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

    "MEN AND BRETHREN"

    Acts 1:16
    [PETER]Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.

    And after they had held their peace, [JAMES]James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:

    Acts 23:6
    But when[PAUL] Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

    Acts 28:17
    And it came to pass, that after three days [PAUL]Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

    Acts 7:3
    And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.

    And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

    James 2:23
    And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

    Hebrews 11:8-10
    By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

    PROPHECY FULFILLED

    Exodus 11:3-7
    And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people. And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt: And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
    And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more. But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.

    Exodus 12:12-14
    For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

    Exodus 12:29-36
    And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
    And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said. Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
    And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men. And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.

    -Ten plagues, corresponding to the plagues in Revelation
    - Pharaoh's heart was hardened by God
    - He demanded that they leave
    - The Israelites were given a lot of substance
    - The word borrow in Old English also meant forever, but also can mean they borrowwed these things, the Egyptians lent them, thinking they would see the Israelites again and one day get the things back
    - Either way, it is not an error or contradiction
    - Same can be said for the word lent here

    STEPHEN RETELLS THE FULFILLED PROPHECY

    Acts 7:8
    And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.
    Genesis 17:10-13
    This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

    Romans 2:29

    Genesis 37:3-4
    Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours. And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.

    Proverbs 14:30
    A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.

    Genesis 39:2-4
    And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

    Genesis 45:1-4
    Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren. And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard. And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence. And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.

    Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land. Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses. But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.

    Exodus 1:15-20
    And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
    But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
    And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them. Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

    Exodus 1:7
    And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

    Acts 7:18
    Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
    Exodus 1:8
    Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.

    Acts 7:19
    The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.
    Acts 7:20
    In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months:

Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
    And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother. And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.

    And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
    Exodus 4:10-14
    And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
    Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.

    Acts 7:25
    For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.

    Deuteronomy 9:3
    Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.

    Hebrews 12:28-29
    Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire.

    THE TIMING OF THE AMORITES

    PROPHECY: Genesis 15:16
    But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

    God used His people Israel through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to destroy His enemy the Amorites and, after that, all of the other nations occupying His land He was to give to His people Israel. God did it, but using His people, a seemingly impossible task to our eyes since they were so hated by all, then as now, outnumbered by so many on all sides. This set of all victories through Exodus through Joshua and Samuel, Kings and Chronicles, is where their original land came from, which encompassed Jordan, Egypt, Syria, etc. Today it is a small portion (for now) the size of New Jersey. And that is way too much for Israel's sworn enemies, the Muslims, the Communists, Socialists, etc. They do not need that land-they desperately "need" with the hatred in their hearts, blood on their hands, venom and saliva on their tongues to wipe out Israel forever, "proving the God of the Bible does not exist", an impossible task altogether. They are so blinded that they are currently, daily fulfilling prophecy. Prophecy of the laast days.

    Acts 7:35
    This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.

    Deuteronomy 18:15
    The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

    Acts 3:22
    For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

    John 4:25-26
    The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

    Acts 7:38
    This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

    Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

    Acts 7:39
    To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
    Acts 7:40
    Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
    Isaiah 44:13-20
    The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house. He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.
    Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto. He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
    And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god. They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand. And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
    He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

    Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.

    Isaiah 47:13

    Acts 7:43
    Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

    (Amos 5:26)

    Leviticus 26:36-39
    And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth. And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies. And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

    Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains.

    Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
    Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
    Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
    Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

    THE SINS OF YOUR FATHERS

    (Exodus 20:5)
    Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

    (Numbers 14:18)
    The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

    (Deuteronomy 5:9)
    Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

    (Ezekiel 18:20)
    The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

    Acts 7:53
    Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
    DISPOSITION, n. [L.]
    1. The act of disposing, or state of being disposed.
    2. Manner in which things or the parts of a complex body are placed or arranged; order; method; distribution; arrangement. We speak of the disposition of the infantry and cavalry of an army; the disposition of the trees in an orchard; the disposition of the several parts of an edifice, of the parts of a discourse, or of the figures in painting.
    3. Natural fitness or tendency. The refrangibility of the rays of light is their disposition to be refracted. So we say, a disposition in plants to grow in a direction upwards; a disposition in bodies to putrefaction.
    4. Temper or natural constitution of the mind; as an amiable or an irritable disposition.
    5. Inclination; propensity; the temper or frame of mind, as directed to particular objects. We speak of the disposition of a person to undertake a particular work; the dispositions of men towards each other; a disposition friendly to any design.
    6. Disposal; alienation; distribution; a giving away or giving over to another; as, he has made disposition of his effects; he has satisfied his friends by the judicious disposition of his property.

    Galatians 3:19
    Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

    Acts 7:54
    When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
    Matthew 8:12
    But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    BRUXISM: GNASHING OF TEETH

    Teeth grinding (bruxism) is involuntary clenching, grinding and gnashing of the teeth. It is thought that about half of the population bruxes from time to time, while around five per cent are habitual and forceful tooth grinders. It generally happens during sleep, but some people experience it when they are awake. Bruxism can be a physical expression of stress; for example, susceptible people may tend to grind their teeth when they are angry, concentrating hard on a particular task or feeling anxious.

    Matthew 13:42
    And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

    Matthew 13:50
    And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

    Matthew 22:13
    Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    Matthew 25:30
    And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    Luke 13:28
    There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

    Acts 7:55
    But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
    Acts 7:56
    And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
    Acts 7:57
    Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
    Acts 7:58
    And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.
    Leviticus 24:23
    And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.

    Leviticus 14:45
    And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.

    1 Kings 21:13
    And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.

    Acts 7:59
    And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
    Acts 7:60
    And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

    ISRAEL: YOU CANNOT WIPE THEM OUT!

    "The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews."

    God has Israel in His Hand. Not one soul can take them away from God. All who have tried have failed and nearly all are now dead, last 5,000 years. Those alive, still trying and who will try will fail and die also. God said so. God owns the earth, Israel, the people, the Jews, and Jerusalem, that cup of trembling. Think you can win over God? As the pagans say, "Good luck with that! How's that working out for you?"

    They will always fail

    ISRAEL TODAY: THE CUP OF TREMBLING

    These for sure are the last days of the earth before the Rapture, the Great Tribulation and the Second Coming of the LORD Jesus Christ to reign on earth. The way to know this is to know prophecy and watch the activities in Israel.

    (Numbers 24:14-24 [KJV])
    And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days. And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said: He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open: I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
    And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly. Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city. And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever. And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock. Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive. And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this! And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.

    -We shall see God also, just not until we get to heaven
    -That sceptre rising out of Jacob is the LORD Jesus Christ, Who shall reign for ever
    - The star is the Morning Star, the LORD Jesus Christ
    - This is the One of Whom it says that "he shall come and destroy him that remaineth in the city" (Jerusalem), the LORD Jesus Christ

    Revelation 2:28
    And I will give him the morning star.

    Revelation 22:16
    I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

    - This sceptre was also a symbol representing the law that allowed Israel to rule themselves, specifically to execute someone and it departed from Judah.....until Shiloh comes. This was specifically why th Jews turned Jesus over to the Romans for crucifixion-they could not do it.

    (Deuteronomy 4:30 [KJV])
    When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;

    (Deuteronomy 31:29 [KJV])
    For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.

    (Jeremiah 23:20 [KJV])
    The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.

    Jeremiah 30:10-11
    Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid. For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

    NOTICE JACOB AND ISRAEL, SAME VERSE!

    (Jeremiah 30:24 [KJV])
    The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.

    Jeremiah 31:8-11
    Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither. They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock. For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.

    This is the return to Israel from Russia in our lifetime! FULFILLED. Russia said they would never let them go and wouldn't you know it? Unbelievably, they gave the Jews up tp leave to go home to their land.

    (Ezekiel 38:16 [KJV])
    And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

    (Daniel 2:28 [KJV])
    But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;

    (Daniel 10:14 [KJV])
    Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.

    (Hosea 3:5 [KJV])
    Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.

    (Zechariah 12:2-3 [AKJV/PCE])
    Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

    Today, in these last days, the amount of hatred for Jews in nations which once supported her, such as America itself, is explosive and exploding more daily. Literally, all Israel, all that any Jew here, in Europe or any place on earth, has to do, is live, breathe and merely exist. Anything they say or do brings an instant, knee-jerk re flex action; a reaction with hatred and cursing words, literally wanting that Jew to die, be killed, even repeatedly saying and affirming one another that they should never have been born.

    It is how we know that we are in the last days, because God said it would happen and that idea has been resurrected especially because Israel was placed by God back into their land one last time, and has prospered, been blessed of God, starting in a big way with Israel's return to the land in 1947 and then the U/N resolution on November 29, 1948, the war against her that immediately ensued, the wars that happened in 1967 and 1973 to take Jerusalem, and the world trying to wipe Israel from the map ever since, with as many nations as can be gathered against her, eventually all of them. So it starts with a one world language confounded, the world divided, then Israel created, then Israel destroyed several times (i.e. the Assyrians, Babylonians, last under the Romans), then scattered worldwide, now in 1948 and today a nation of Israel re-gathered into her land, following soon by a one world language (presumably English) once again, with a one world religion, one world government once again, this time under the anti-Christ. However, this time, unknown to the world, Israel cannot be removed, nor ever will be, ever again, though they all will try. God has her back, as always, and all is going according to His Divine Plan and His Divine Will God said what would happen and it is all coming to pass.

    Jeremiah 3:12
    Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever.

    (Romans 9:6-8 [AKJV/PCE])
    Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

    -There is a spiritual Israel, today called Messianic Jews. There is the believing Israel, the spiritually saved
    -There is also the blood line, a physical Israel, who are descendants by blood of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel)
    -By reason of heritage, these are the people of Jacob (Israel), but not spiritually, just by birth, just in the flesh, just descendants, and yet still unbelieving, unless and until they get saved by believing their Gospel given to them and now to us (Romans 1:16)

    (Romans 1:16 [KJV])
    For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

    John 1:11
    He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

    (Jeremiah 3:23 [KJV])
    Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.

    -Through most of their history, there was a remnant which believed, and a majority which did not
    -By the way, this is also true of the Gentiles, and today even in the church itself, most in America practicing "Churchianity" and not true, Scriptural Christianity.

    It must be known, said and observed directly, that today, in America and Europe, self-hating Jews with power and money are against Israel and America, to bring her down. They are influential, participatory, ever present. They are many times atheists, evolutionists, one world government promoters, not actual Old Testament following Jews who love Israel. They context of this verse is Isaac and Ishmael, child of promise (Isaac) and child of sin (Ishmael), child born of miracle (Isaac), child born of the the flesh by natural means (Ishmael), child to be through whom Israel and their Messiah would come (Isaac) versus child through whom wars against Israel and all who do not believe as they do would come, that is, Ishmael, and that continues today even, making Israel hated, a cup of trembling

    (Isaiah 53:1-6 [KJV])
    Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

    -"Our report" is Israel's prophecies which few then believed and, even now, few believe today
    -To whom was it revealed" To Israel!
    -Jesus is a root out of a dry ground, an unbelieving nation of Israel who missed the Messianic message by and large, the two comings, the dying for them that was God's plan fulfilled, as most people, even today, do not think of themselves as sinners in need of a Jewish or otherwise Saviour.
    -Jesus was not particularly handsome and good looking, ion purpose, bcause God knew that many would say, "Oh, they only followed Jesus because He was good looking, not because He was the Messiah and could save them from SIN!"
    -This is the shallowness in the hearts of men, because that is what advertising, Hollywood, etc. does to people who "buy into the lie"-good look$ $$ell
    -He is despised, rejected and hated, because of His message and mission, His claims to Deity, His challenge to the leaders of Israel and Rome (both Jew (religious) and Gentile (secular) leaders, notice that?), etc.
    -He was cricified for our sakes, in our place it says right here.

    ISAIAH 52:14
    As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

    (Matthew 23:37 [KJV])
    O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

    UNTIL.....let that sink in.....that would not be possible if God was completely done with Israel forever! The very [urpose of that Great Tribulation is to get Israel to acknowledge their sin, unbelief in their Messiah and turn to Him and He will then save them at that exact time.

    (Hosea 5:15 [KJV])
    ¶ I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.

    All of that said, this would not in any way excuse any hatred of Jews or Israel itself. There are televangelists, famous "Christian" authors, radio personalities, podcasters etc. fleecing the flock. Does that mean we get to lump together ALL Christians and hate the church? When we ALL stand before God, on Judgment Day, that will not work as an excuse when we think we had an excuse to reject the LORD Jesus Christ.

    In the exact same way, what a Jew does to you or a a group, a city or a nation is not any excuse to violate God and hate His people who HE chose forever to be His people and has never abandoned, nor will ever abandon.

    God Himself is allowing israel to become this cup of trembling:

    -He is Sovereign
    -To fulfill His Will and prophecy
    -To bring Israel back to Himself
    -To give the world free will to reject Him and exercise their will for their judgment forever, not as automatons, robots, but freely deciding to hate God

    (Genesis 32:28 [AKJV/PCE])
    And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

    (Genesis 48:3-4 [AKJV/PCE])
    And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.

    That land is much larger than Israel is squooshed into, forced into living in today, and is "an everlasting possession". Imagine that, and I am not even Jewish. Just a Christian who believes what God said!

    THE PROPHECY OF EGYPTIAN CAPTIVITY

    START TO FINISH...

    (Genesis 15:13-16 [AKJV/PCE])
    And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

    -That it would happen
    -For how long
    -Who would talk to Pharaoh
    -What Pharaoh would say and do
    -What God would do to make the Exodus happen
    -What God would do to and for Israel before, during, after they got out
    -Israel was to go into Egypt (then unnamed)
    -They would be in bondage for 400 years
    -They would come out and spoil the Egyptians and go away wealthy
    -They would become a great nation, growing while in the captivity
    - That the kingdom of Pharaoh would be judged - That it would happen after an exact time, "when the iniquity of the Amorites is full"

    THE PROPHECY OF EGYPTIAN CAPTIVITY FULFILLED

    (Pharaoh to Joseph in Egypt)

    (Genesis 41:40 ([KJV])
    Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.

    LATER......

    Exodus 1:1-14
    Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
    And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation. And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them. Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph. And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land. Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses. But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour: And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    THE EXODUS PROPHECY

    (Exodus 3:7 ([KJV])
    And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

    (Exodus 3:1-10 ([KJV])
    Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
    And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

    Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD. Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city shall be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of the corner. And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.

And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?

    (Ezekiel 13:21 ([KJV])
    Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

    (Ezekiel 39:7 ([KJV])

    (Hosea 11:1 [KJV])
    When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images. I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them. I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them. He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.

    (Hosea 2:23 ([KJV])

    (Amos 7:8 ([KJV])

    (Amos 9:9-10 ([KJV])
    For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth. All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

    (Amos 9:14 ([KJV])
    And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

    (Micah 1:9 ([KJV])
    For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.

    (Micah 2:4 ([KJV])

    (Micah 2:8-9 ([KJV])

    (Zephaniah 2:8-9 ([KJV])
    I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.

    (Zechariah 2:11 ([KJV])

    (Zechariah 13:9 ([KJV])
    And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

    (Matthew 2:6 ([KJV])

    (2 Corinthians 6:16 ([KJV])
    And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

    (Revelation 18:4 ([KJV])
    And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

    (Romans 1:16
    For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

    (Romans 11:25 [KJV])
    For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

    -"UNTIL the fullness of the Gentiles be come in", then their eyes shall be opened when Jesus comes to rescue them from their enemies at the end of Revelation at His Second Coming.
    -Because God is not done with Israel at all, and the world is simply fulfilling Scripture in hating them

    Joel 3:1-2
    For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

    LATER....near in the valley of Jehosaphat, the valley of decision.

    Joel 3:14-17
    Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

    (Romans 11:26 [KJV])
    And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

    -The church is gone, in the Pre-Tribulation Rapture seven years earlier, in Heaven, coming back with Jesus to accomplish this. No enemies for Israel at that point as the LORD is there to save them
    -Again, God has a future for Israel and is not done
    -Jesus Christ, at the end of Revelation, will save Israel from her enemies, surrounding her on all sides to destroy her as a worldwide coalition
    -Israel will then turn to the LORD and they will get saved, no more unrighteousness, spiritually declared righteous in t he Millennial Kingdom of the LORD Jesus Christ

    (Romans 11:27 [KJV])
    For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

    -God's covenant with them is not temporary
    -This is the same as all of the covenants He made with them

    (Romans 11:28 [KJV])
    As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.

    -So this is the argument and doctrine: Jews then and now, who are not saved rejected and reject their Messiah, making them enemies then as now
    -That said, "they are beloved for the fathers' sakes", meaning that God has a plan for them, everlasting, eternal, that means they are chosen by Him and have a future

    (Romans 11:29 [KJV])
    For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

    -Rejecting Israel as the above means one calls God a liar, saying He is done with them, when He said He is not

    Numbers 23:19
    God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

    -Numbers 23:19 says that this is impossible

    -So it is impossible for God to lie

    Hebrews 6:18
    That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

    (Romans 11:30-31 [KJV])
    For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

    -When God is done with the church, after the Rapture, He will again turn His mercy upon Israel

    (Romans 11:32 [KJV])
    For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

    -We are all born in unbelief from the moment we are aware that we sin, at a certain age of our lives which varies
    -God WANTS to have mercy upon all, the Jew and the Gentile
    -It is extended like and outstretched arm, but after that, it is up to us to accept that mercy

    Isaiah 5:25
    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.

    Isaiah 9:12
    The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

    Isaiah 9:21
    Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

    Isaiah 10:4
    Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

    Psalms 136:12
    With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever.

    (Romans 11:33 [KJV])
    O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

    -AMEN! Study His Word for a lifetime and, when we get to heaven, we find that there was so much more to learn!

    (Romans 11:34-35 [KJV])
    For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

    -The answer (not implied, but revealed) to those two questions is "NO ONE!" and not much needs to be added to that
    -The only way to know God and His will in our lives is by the Holy Spirit guiding us through His Word in careful study, prayer, submitting to the Holy Ghost

    (Romans 11:36 [KJV])
    For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

    -And this is why He is the Alpha, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last, right there

    (Exodus 2:23 ([KJV])

    And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.

    (Exodus 3:9-11 ([KJV])

And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

    (Exodus 3:13-15 ([KJV])
    And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

    And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant. Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:

    (Exodus 6:9 ([KJV])
    And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

    (Exodus 6:11-12 ([KJV])
    Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land. And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?

    (Exodus 6:13 ([KJV])
    And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

    (Exodus 6:26-27 ([KJV])
    These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies. These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.

    (Exodus 7:2 ([KJV])
    Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.

    (Exodus 7:4-5 ([KJV])
    But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.

    (Exodus 9:6 ([KJV])
    And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.

    (Exodus 9:26 ([KJV])
    Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.

    (Exodus 9:35 ([KJV])
    And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.

    THE ORDER OF EVENTS: PRESENTATION, PREPARATION, LAST SUPPER PASSOVER

    THE PRESENTATION

    Zechariah 9:9
    Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

    THE LAST SUPPER

    It must be said and understood that the Last Supper was not the actual Passover meal. That was the next evening. This was the preparation for the Passover. Many misunderstand this today, because, again, prophecy is not taught, Israel is completely ignored in Scripture, because "that is divisive". Meanwhile, a very large percentage of Scripture is ignored and the people are told, "The church replaces Israel as it is".

    LASTLY, THE PASSOVER LAMB

    It must be said and understood that the Last Supper was not the actual Passover meal. That was the next evening. This was the preparation for the Passover

    Matthew 26:5
    But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.

    Mark 14:2
    But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.

    And yet, Jesus was the Passover Lamb, on the feast day, while all were eating the sacrificed lamb, He WAS that sacrificed Passover Lamb.

    John 18:28-29
    Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover. Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

    Last supper passed, Peter denied Jesus three times, and Jesus was slain on the actual Passover, that evening. When all of the lambs are being slain, Jesus is on that Cross.

    John 19:14
    And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

    John 19:31
    The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

    -Three days AND three nights, not just three days
    -People think that it was on a Friday because the next day was a Sabbath

    A "high Day Passover" is a leap year, to this day, a special Sabbath day on a different day.

    NOW IT IS THE PASSOVER!

    Exodus 12:1-7, 14
    And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it...........(v.14) And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

    April 6, 32 A.D. is Nisan 10, 32 A.D. (Exodus 12:1-51)
    - This is the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem. Every seventh year is a "High Sabbath" which coincides with a Saturday.

    This is Nisan 14, 32 A.D. and the Passover Lamb is killed, then the seven days following are the days of unleavened Bread, starting on a "High Sabbath". They shouted, "Hail the Messiah! Hosannah to the Son of David!"

    THE RESURRECTION: FULFILLED

    Jonah 1:17
    Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

    Matthew 12:40
    For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

    The problem with those who deny Scripture is that they think it should be "Good Friday" and count that as three days....NEGLECTING the three nights also.

    Thursday-day and a night
    Friday-day and a night
    Saturday-day and a night
    Sunday-Resurrection at daybreak

    This is three days and three nights. Because of the Sabbath Day.

    Friday-One day, no night
    Saturday-Day two, no night
    Sunday-Resurrection

    This is two nights, not three. So they "try to justify it" by saying that "Thursday afternoon to Friday afternoon is one day, then Friday afternoon to Saturday afternoon is another day and Saturday afternoon until Sunday morning is another day is a third day."

    That is three days only, no nights. What about the three nights?

    The Pharisees, Saduccees did not want Jesus crucified during the Passover and when people would be eating, so

    Four days later, Same exact people, same exact crowds, same exact city, in Jerusalem for the Passover pilgrimage, "Away with Him!! Crucify Him!"

    To this day, the Passover is celebrated in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, even though so many are atheistic Jews! Even in New York City it is kept by Jews!

    Dave Hunt spoke on this, while visiting a Kibbutz in the Golan area:

    "The rabbi guiding us around was boasting, and 90% of the Kibbutz residents, were either atheistic or communistic. I asked him, You are an atheist? Yeah! So you don't believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? No! You don't believe that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob gave this land to the Jews? No! What better claim do you have to it than the Arabs?         No answer"

    These same Jews keep the Passover. Fulfillment of prophecy. God said that they would keep the Passover forever and they have! This is not a tradition, as all of them fall by the wayside when generations come and go and the new ones are unbelievers in it. This is supernatural.

    (Exodus 12:1-8 ([KJV])
    And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

    (Exodus 12:27-28 ([KJV])
    That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

    (Exodus 12:31 ([KJV])
    And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.

    (Exodus 12:35 ([KJV])
    And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:

    (Exodus 12:37 ([KJV])
    And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.

    (Exodus 12:40 ([KJV])
    Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

    (Exodus 12:42 ([KJV])
    It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.

    (Exodus 12:50-51 ([KJV])
    Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

    (Exodus 13:2 ([KJV])
    Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.

    (Exodus 13:18-19 ([KJV])
    But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt. And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.

    (Exodus 14:2-3 ([KJV])
    Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea. For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.

    (Exodus 14:8 ([KJV])
    And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.

    (Exodus 14:10 ([KJV])
    And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.

    (Exodus 14:15-16 ([KJV])
    And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

    (Exodus 14:22 ([KJV])
    And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

    (Exodus 14:29 ([KJV])
    But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

    (Exodus 15:1 ([KJV])
    Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

    (Exodus 15:19 ([KJV])
    For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.

    (Exodus 16:1-3 ([KJV])
    And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt. And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

    (Exodus 16:6 ([KJV])
    And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:

    (Exodus 16:9-10 ([KJV])
    And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings. And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.

    (Exodus 16:12 ([KJV])
    I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.

    (Exodus 16:15 ([KJV])
    And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

    (Exodus 16:17 ([KJV])
    And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.

    (Exodus 16:35 ([KJV])
    And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.

    (Exodus 17:1 ([KJV])
    And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.

    (Exodus 17:7 ([KJV])

    (Exodus 28:11-12 ([KJV])
    With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.

    (Exodus 35:29-30 ([KJV])

    Which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout their generations.

    And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.

    (Leviticus 17:5 ([KJV])
    To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD.

    (Leviticus 17:12-14 ([KJV])
    Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.

    (Numbers 6:27 ([KJV])
    And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.

And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.

And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.

    (Numbers 9:22 ([KJV])
    Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.

    (Numbers 13:32 ([KJV])
    And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.

    (Numbers 14:2 ([KJV])
    And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!

    (Numbers 14:5 ([KJV])
    Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

    (Numbers 14:7 ([KJV])
    And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.

    (Numbers 15:25-26 ([KJV])
    And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance: And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.

    (Numbers 15:29 ([KJV])

    (Numbers 16:38 ([KJV])
    The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.

    (Numbers 16:40-41 ([KJV])
    To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses. But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD.

    (Numbers 17:2 ([KJV])
    Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod.

    (Numbers 17:5-6 ([KJV])
    And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you. And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.

    (Numbers 17:9 ([KJV])
    And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.

    (Numbers 18:8 ([KJV])
    And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.

    (Numbers 18:11 ([KJV])
    And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.

    (Numbers 18:19-20 ([KJV])
    All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee. And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.

    (Numbers 18:22-24 ([KJV])
    Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die. But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance. But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

    (Numbers 18:26 ([KJV])
    Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.

    (Numbers 18:28 ([KJV])
    Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD'S heave offering to Aaron the priest.

    (Numbers 18:32 ([KJV])
    And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.

    (Numbers 19:2 ([KJV])
    This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:

    (Numbers 19:9-10 ([KJV])
    And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin. And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.

    (Numbers 20:1 ([KJV])
    Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.

    (Numbers 20:12-13 ([KJV])
    And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

    (Numbers 20:19 ([KJV])
    And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet.

    (Numbers 20:22 ([KJV])
    And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.

    (Numbers 20:24 ([KJV])
    Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.

    (Numbers 21:10 ([KJV])
    And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.

    (Numbers 22:1 ([KJV])
    And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.

    (Numbers 22:3 ([KJV])
    And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.

    (Numbers 25:6 ([KJV])
    And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

    (Numbers 25:8 ([KJV])
    And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.

    (Numbers 25:11 ([KJV])
    Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.

    (Numbers 25:13 ([KJV])
    And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.

    (Numbers 26:2 ([KJV])
    Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers' house, all that are able to go to war in Israel.

    (Numbers 26:4 ([KJV])
    Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward; as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt.

    (Numbers 26:51 ([KJV])
    These were the numbered of the children of Israel, six hundred thousand and a thousand seven hundred and thirty.

    (Numbers 26:62-64 ([KJV])
    And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel. These are they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

    (Numbers 27:8 ([KJV])
    And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter.

    (Numbers 27:11-12 ([KJV])
    And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses. And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.

    (Numbers 27:20-21 ([KJV])
    And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.

    But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:

    Ezekiel 47:22 ([KJV])
    And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

    Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God. Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

    Hosea 3:1 ([KJV])

    Hosea 3:4-5 ([KJV])
    For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim: Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.

    Luke 1:16 ([KJV])
    And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.

    Acts 5:21 ([KJV])
    And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

    Acts 7:23 ([KJV])
    And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.

    Acts 7:37 ([KJV])
    This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

    Acts 9:15 ([KJV])
    But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

    Acts 10:36 ([KJV])
    The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

    Romans 9:27 ([KJV])
    Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

    2 Corinthians 3:7 ([KJV])
    But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:

    2 Corinthians 3:13 ([KJV])
    And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:

    Hebrews 11:22 ([KJV])
    By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.

    Revelation 2:14 ([KJV])
    But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

    Revelation 7:4-8 ([KJV])
    And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

    -Notice that the tribes of Israel are still active, in God's favor, in God's plan
    -Notice also that the names of the tribes are different in their listing over the course of history and Scripture, due to sin.
    -When God drops one tribe out of His favor, another one, such as a son of Joseph, He replaces it with another.
    -There were a total of twelve tribes, incluing Joseph and his sins, but always twelve listed at a time

    Romans 9:27
    Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

    Romans 11:1-2 ([KJV])
    I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

    Revelation 21:12 ([KJV])
    And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

    Revelation 12:4
    And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

    This was Herod trying to destroy the Promised, prophesied Messiah Jesus by killing all of the choldren he could get his bloody, evil hands on when he heard the King of Israel was to be born. The Romans hated opposition and a King in Israel was to be killed, which is why Pilate turned Jesus over to be crucified. he was the King of Israel. The endiing of each Gospel has this account. This is how the seed of the woman (Israel) was bruised in the heel, as in cruciofied and arose from the dead three days later and destroyed the power of the serpent, purchased the earth's people lost at the fall by His Blood, and is awaiting the sign from the Father to return to earth to execute the title deed to earth which He purchased, save Israel who will look on Him whom they have pierced. This is crucifixion, which was not even invented till thousands of years later. This is the prophecy of the Messiah of Israel being crucified for all our sins and to one day save Israel from her enemies, back in their land in the last days, one final time..

    Psalms 22:16
    For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

    John 19:37
    And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

    (John 18:37 [KJV])
    Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

    John 19:6
    When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.

    Luke 23:21
    But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

    2 Peter 1:15-16
    Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

    He continues...

    2 Peter 3:17-18
    For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

    Prophecies are from God, God told us and God told Israel:

    Isaiah 49:9-10
    Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

    -One cannot even misinterpret prophecies given and fulfilled as stated with detail, on cue, these being so very specific and sometimes very specifically timed prophecies that the whole world has witnessed the fulfillment of them and cannot deny that-and still does
    -Since we are in the last days, most of God's prophecies have already been fulfilled, with more fulfillments to come in the Revelation
    -Many details were fulfilled unwittingly by those who deny God existed
    -Not one other book of even one book not to mention a book of sixty six books, can make such a claim and, all of the ones who try merely copy parts of our Bible, or say they believe parts of that book, add then their own parts, and lie about it all, from lying about God's Word to lying about their own actions and beliefs
    -Just two plain examples are the cults Islam and Mormonism, and there are more
    -The is exactly why many who have tried to prove that the Bible is wrong by investigating its claims end up getting saved, believing that Bible that they could not disprove, and by then finding out that it is true and that THEY were wrong themselves!
    -This is true of historians, lay people, scientists from archaeology to zoology
    -No other authors of any other book can even try such a foolish thing as foretelling the future and then have it fulfilled later on, because it will not be fulfilled later on and, besides that, it has already has been prophesied in Scripture and fulfilled according to that Scripture (or will be). All attempts are futile, foolish and merely mutterings and babblings that are echoed from the truth, copied, repeated of the prophecies already written by God through His prophets, just by foolishly copying and mimicking them, which was all they were capable of doing.

    The Bible itself even closes with a warning to not even try such foolishness from its Author, and that will be met with eternal separation from God:

    AN INTERJECTION: ISRAEL OUR EXAMPLE

    Throughout the Old Testament, God told Israel that, if and when they sinned, they would be cast out of their land, hated, persecuted, tormented, made fun of, mocked, teased, taunted, killed, imprisoned, enslaved, like no other people. And a remnant will always be saved. You will be removed from the land I gave you and then returned when I say so. Your temple, life, altars, houses destroyed.....and then rebuilt when I bring you back.

    Just in recent history alone under Hitler. The emaciated emancipated Jews which were basically just skin and bones skeletons who tried to return home from Auschwitz to reclaim the homes that the Poles had stolen from them under Hitler, were murdered, KILLED!! Many Jews were turned away who were not killed and not allowed to regain their homes and land they had bought and owned. All across Europe survivors of the death camps were later killed in the second, unannounced Holocaust. God kept score, not to worry. This is, "After the Holocaust, another Holocaust."

    Fulfilled as prophesied and still being fulfilled today, last 6,000 years like no other people in history and continuing today, Israel being a cup of trembling and burdensome stone

    THE RESULT: ISRAEL IS ALWAYS THERE

    Jeremiah 31: 35-37
    Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.

    One thing you have to admit about Israel is that, after 5,000 years, you cannot deny it, explain, nor explain away, the fact that God laid out their future for us to read and now experience ahead of time in great detail what has happened to these people, being by far, the most hated and persecuted people on earth and, yet, are still in the land God gave them right now. God said it would happen and it did. Over and over and over and over. FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY. Only God can do that.

    THE SEED OF THE SERPENT: FALSE PROPHETS

    Galatians 1:8-10
    But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

    2 Corinthians 11:14
    And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. angel of light

    Creation: "yea, hath God said.....?

    Today: "yea, hath God said.....?.....because the scholars say, because in the original language, because we have older, better mss, because it says something else in my version of the bible...."

    All cults like Mormonism and Joseph Smith, a perfect example of a false prophet. He claimed the "angel Gabriel" gave him the Book of Mormon, the "Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints". The only problem is that that was not the angel Gabriel, but the enemy speaking his own language of LIES. The gullible and foolish man believed it. Muhammed of Islam gave no prophecies whatsoever, and is called a prophet of Allah. He would be another good example today of a false apostle. Again, it certainly was not the angel Gabriel, since God cannot contradict Himself and first off give a true Gospel of the LORD Jesus Christ from Genesis to Revelation, then change His Mind in the 300s (Catholicism) and then again in the and then again in the 600s (Islam) and then again in the 1800s (Mormonism), etc. Galatians 1:8-9 even speaks of this, warning us. How does that serpent deceive men so easily? Appearing as an angel of light, when he is actually the prince of darkness. But those who reject the truth of God's Word and want their own "truth" are more than happy to take whatever a false angel tells them and write it down.

    John 8:44
    Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

    WE WERE TOLD...

    Revelation 22:18-19
    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: 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.

    OUR PROTECTION FROM THE LIAR

    (1 John 4:1-3[KJV])
    Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2 Chronicles Chapter 18
    Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab. And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead. And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Jude ah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war. And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.

    Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king's hand. But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him? And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.

    And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed. And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king. And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good.

    And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak. And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand. And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD?

    Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace. And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil? Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.

    Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the LORD said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so. Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee.

    Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Mcaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee? And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself. Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son; And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.

    And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, then hath not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Jude ah went up to Ramothgilead. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle. Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.

    And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him. For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing him. And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am wounded. And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the sun going down he died.

    -People do not like truth as it is, but especially when it is bad news and even more when God tells them about themselves, then as today
    -Ahab hated Micah because Micah told him the truth, which was ugly and Ahab wants to hear good tings, not bad, so truth bothered him and he then followed false prophets to hear what he wanted to hear
    -God predicted this for our day also, many being led astray in the false church, because they want to hear certain things, such as good things, "positive" things, and things which "promote self-esteem" and "promote success" but certainly not truth, good or bad.

    2 Timothy 4:3
    For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Successful Attempts to use false angels, false lying spirits to deceive is where we get our cults from, such as Roman Catholicism, Islam, Mormonism, "Jehovah's Witnesses", "New Agers", etc. This is their common behavior, their common communication, "hearing from and angel of God"- merely copying from God's Word certain concepts and then altering His Word or re-interpreting it against Revelation 22:18-19 above, and Peter's statement here below:

    (2 Peter 3:16 [KJV])
    As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

    They do this just enough to make people go to hell for following these false teachers, false prophets.

    THE GOSPEL: FORETOLD

    Some lies among the cults are that "Jesus invented the Gospel!" or "Paul invented the Gospel!", both of which are patently false for so many reasons it is laughable one would think they invented it. That stems from utter ignorance of the Scriptures and a lack of reading the Old Testament.

    Romans 1:1-2
    Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

    ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES

    One thing of many you will discover in this study is that the Gospel was foretold from the time of the Fall of Adam and Eve through to Malachi, and Jesus told this to the Jewish leaders themselves who denied Him, over and over. It is their Scriptures that their own Scribes were the stewards of, and that they read and studied and taught from and, then, did not see that glorious, saving gospel in. Why? Pride. The heart, not the mind, but the heart. Paul said "the Gospel of God" and he said "the Gospel of the LORD Jesus Christ." He said "Jesus Christ is God". This is the Gospel of God (Romans 1:2) and we know this because it was foretold and then fulfilled in Jesus Christ. How was it foretold? "By His PROPHETS IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES"

    (Jeremiah 17:9 [KJV])
    The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

    The more "education" (graduation, diplomas, degrees) one has, especially today from "seminaries" (cemeteries), the easier it is to get prideful and reject the truth of God's Word and the LORD Jesus Christ. Pride kills.

    In each book of the Old Testament, that Gospel is there, mentioning the future promise to Israel of their Messiah. To us and them it may have been only slightly cryptic, but not really. Daniel and the prophets make it so clear how, when the Messiah would be born, His lineage on both sides, how He would live, how He would declare Himself Messiah, how He would die, that He would be Resurrected and how he would rule forever on the Throne of David. It is unmistakable.

    GENESIS

    Genesis 3:15
    And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

    That was then, today the enemy is now defeated at the Cross and Resurrection of the LORD and Jesus purchased the earth and its people with His Blood. He owns the title deed and is merely waiting for the words from the Father of Lights to come, destroy that enemy and bind him forever in the lake of fire. He has been judged. He knows his time on earth is short so he is making evil rise on earth today, more and more, faster and faster.

    Genesis 22:8
    And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

    Galatians 3:8
    And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

    EXODUS

    Exodus 12:5-7
    Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.

    John 19:36
    For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

    LEVITICUS

    Leviticus 16:2
    And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.

    Leviticus 16:15
    Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:

    Hebrews 9:2-4
    For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

    Hebrews 9:5
    And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

    Hebrews 9:12
    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.

    Jesus sprinkled His own Blood on the mercy seat in Heaven for us, not the blood of goats and bulls.

    NUMBERS

    Jesus is our sanctuary city (Numbers 35). Jesus told us, like Israel then, that we are His people, but will often wander through the wilderness, but He will be with us and slay our enemies for us, so we must trust Him like the Israelites did.

    Numbers 15:32-35
    And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.

    Jesus is our Sabbath Rest. Works do not save us, nor did they ever save Israel (see the book of Hebrews) and, while we do not rest on the Sabbath day any more (but rather the first day of the week) and Jesus today is our Sabbath rest. Those who work to get saved will die without Christ and perish forever since, to repeat, works do not save us.

    DEUTERONOMY

    (Deuteronomy 6:16
    Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

    (Deuteronomy 5:6-7
    I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.Thou shalt have none other gods before me.

    (Deuteronomy 8:3
    And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

    Matthew 4:4
    But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

    Matthew 4:7
    Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

    Matthew 4:10
    Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

    Jesus quoted Deuteronomy the most out of all other books in the Old Testament.
    Jesus quoted Deuteronomy in the temptation in the wilderness.

    JOSHUA

    Joshua 1:5
    There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

    Joshua 1:9
    Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

    The very name Joshua means "Jehovah saves", and the Greek name for Joshua is in truth "JESUS".

    John 5:39-40
    Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

    How can Jesus say this if He is making that part up, to tell them to "search the Scriptures"? Which Scriptures? They only had their Old testament. It speaks of Jesus. This was that same exact Old Testament again of the Jewish Scriptures we hold in our hands now

    (2 Peter 1:20 [KJV])
    Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

    Three main things, subjects, are spoken of by God in Scripture: Creation, Prophecy and the Gospel. In addition to this, we have all of recorded history being according to God's will and on His schedule, so you have precise proof of the existence of God. Denial is inexcusable!

    Romans 1:1
    Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

    The cultists like to make the claim that Paul invented the Gospel, that Jesus invented the Gospel, etc. Except that, from the book of Genesis onward, that Gospel has been preached and prophesied to Israel as future and to us Gentiles as past history. In the book of Acts, the apostles preached the Gospel to the Jews out of their own Old Testament, which was what they had until it was all compiled in the New Testament after they were all gone.

    Acts 17: 1-2
    Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews: And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.

    This was the same Old Testament of the Jewish Scriptures we hold in our hands now

    Luke 24:25-27
    Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

    Once again, in case you missed it: This was that same exact Old Testament again of the Jewish Scriptures we hold in our hands now. They had ALL of the prophetic Scriptures and did not believe them. They literally thought Jesus was still dead and someone stole the body, while at that same moment talking to Him!

    Acts 17:10-11
    And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

    Now stop and think. How could Peter, James, John, Jesus, Paul and the rest of the disciples and apostles do this with their Scriptures, preaching the exact Gospel we do today from the same Old Testament we have today and not the New Testament they did not yet have but later wrote?? What else could he and the Bereans preach and search from, having only the Old Testament, to find that Gospel? Nothing. They had only their Old Testament prophecies of the MEssiah.

    That Gospel was in there, in that Old Testament, and the Jews and Bereans and all else knew it. Searching through the book of Acts alone, one finds that the apostles used "the Scriptures " to preach the Gospel. They had the Old Testament to preach the Gospel, not just eyewitness testimonies of the Resurrection, which they did have, a qualification to be an apostle, to see the Risen Christ.

    More Scripture than testimony; more eyewitness testimony than personal experience. Jesus did the same, reminding the Jews of their own Old testament prophets who prophesied of His Coming to die for their sins. How did Jesus begin at Moses and the prophets and expound to them all things concerning Himself? Because it spoke of Him. He told them this to their faces more than once.

    WEBSTER'S: PROPHECY

    PROPH'ECY, noun [Gr. to foretell, before and to tell. This ought to be written prophesy

    - A foretelling; prediction; a declaration of something to come. As God only knows future events with certainty, no being but God or some person informed by him, can utter a real prophecy The prophecies recorded in Scripture, when fulfilled, afford most convincing evidence of the divine original of the Scriptures, as those who uttered the prophecies could not have foreknown the events predicted without supernatural instruction. 2 Peter 1:19.
    - In Scripture, a book of prophecies; a history; as the prophecy of Ahijah. 2 Chronicles 9:29.
    - Preaching; public interpretation of Scripture; exhortation or instruction. Proverbs 31:1:

    Proverbs 31:1 (KJV)
    The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.

    1 Thessalonians 5:20
    Despise not prophesyings.

    1 Corinthians 13:8
    Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

    This would have then, in the first century, meant perhaps that spiritual gift that is now no longer needed and have ceased, today for sure only preaching.


    -Prophecy is God foretelling the future to man, individually or to a nation
    -Prophecy is also an English Word that can, in context, mean preaching (2 Peter 1:20, above in the header
    -Cover to cover, Genesis 3:15 to the end, prophecy is one way tells us God's His love for us and His desire and plan to save us from our sin
    -Fulfillment of prophecy is the way God demonstrates His love for us

    PROPHECY IS NOT ALWAYS "POSITIVE"

    -Prophecy is rarely pretty, either. It is not always what people today like to hear, not "positive". Well, that word "positive" is not found in Scripture, either. The Word TRUTH is found there. The Word GOOD is found there. The Word EVIL is found there. The Word HOLY is found there. The Word JUDGMENT is found there.Whether we like that truth does not change it into a lie.

    As a for instance, let's say we are now New Testament Jews in Rome, in Jesus's days on earth, Him preaching in the Synagogue. All of the "positive" and "negative" below is in the minds of men, as the words appear no place in the Word of God. But that is how people think. Both good and evil and all of the rest is in that Gospel. First the bad news, then the good news.

    -The Messiah will perform miracles, raise the dead, solve all of the wars with everlasting peace ("positive")
    -The Messiah will ride in on a majestic, powerful white horse to rescue Israel from Rome's grip in that empire and reign in Israel and over all of the earth, the world and set up an everlasting kingdom ("positive")
    -The Messiah will reign in Israel and wipe out sin, disease, rid the earth of plagues and pestilences, heal everyone and everything, the lion lying down with the lamb ("positive")
    -This below is ALSO truth, undeniable and truth to be fulfilled only by the Messiah of Israel
    -The Messiah is to come on a borrowed little donkey, be hailed as the Messiah, but then four days later be rejected as the Messiah for telling them about sin and telling them, "Your house is left to you desolate", and die for the sins of Israel and those of all mankind, be rejected by Israel, and Rome and the people, then sharply rebuke the leaders in Israel in the Synagogue for rejecting Him as the Messiah, their sins pointed out face to face; not to rescue Israel from Rome's deadly grip, but to prophecy the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, then suffer a trial by mocking, taunting, being spit on, get a crown of thorns on His head, be crucified on a Roman cross, between two thieves, be scourged, bleed to death in a torturous death, be buried in a rich man's borrowed grave, "leaving no hope"all of this to happen to Him, but not for Himself, but die as the innocent Lamb of God.("negative")
    -All for doing one thing: Claiming to be the Messiah of Israel coming to save them, but from sin, not from Rome ("that's negative!")
    -Then be raised from the dead three days later ("positive")

    All of this is prophesied about one God, about one Messiah, about one Man Who is God. All of this is the whole Gospel, the good and the bad. Yet, most of mankind, Jew and Gentile, rejected it then and rejects it today, that "negative" Gospel and only wants the "positive reinforcement" Gospel. Especially today in Laodicea, in the "Prosperity Gospel", the "Name it and Claim it gospel" the "Special Blessings" ($$$) ministry, "Positive Confession Movement", "Psychotherapy", P.M.A." or Positive Mental Attitude" techniques, the "Success Motivation Institute (SMI)" and and the "Dr. ___________'s Healing Ministry", the false gospel which includes only the "positive" part of God's Blessing and not the whole truth of the actual Gospel, lying to people, telling them God wants to BLESS you (meaning "I want you to ble$$ me!" ). This all is fulfillment of prophecy in these last days. While Israel wants that Temple back up for the Messiah to walk into, the false church, the fallen, apostate church wants "positivity" only and not doctrinal truth, just a false gospel of Laodicea

    2 Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

    This is a prophecy for the first century and last century, ours.


    -I can hear it now: "You are being so negative!!!!!"
    -I can hear it now: "You are saying we should not pray!!!!!"
    -I can hear it now: "You are saying we should not expect blessings from God!!!!!"
    -No, and that is the issue today, reading INTO and not reading God's Word
    -"P.M.A." or Positive Mental Attitude" techniques, and not one of those three words appears any place in Scripture, in God's Word. Hmmmmmm.....
    -We should pray without ceasing
    -We should in faith expect answers
    -Sometimes the answer is "YES"
    -Sometimes the answer is "NO"
    -Sometimes the answer is "NOT YET, BUT WAIT, MY CHILD"
    -God never has to answer any prayer the way WE want
    -God said He would supply all of our needs by His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19, Romans 8:32) but He did not say He would supply all of our WANTS, which is why we leave the verses and words in context and rightly divide the Word of truth.

    Philippians 4:19
    But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

    Romans 8:32
    He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

    -Paul prayed and God said? "NO!"

    2 Corinthians 12:6-10
    For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

    God merely answered his prayer and said "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. ". God did not say, "Sorry" like He did in Noah's day when mankind was evil beyond description that God was sorry He made man, no. He is Sovereign, He is God and we are on earth, as sinners. He saved us through sin. That salvation was not even owed to us. That also was grace.
    Today, in fulfillment of prophecy, these false teachers call that a "Negative Confession" and, when they stand before God, unless they repent before death and believe, God will say, "I never knew you" How's that for a "Negative Confession"? In eternity, apart from God, alone, in darkness, on fire? As prophesied.

    Acts 10:43
    To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

    A massive amount of prophecy is found in Scripture, cover to cover, starting right after the Fall to the end of Revelation. Fulfillment of prophecy is what proves God's Word is just that,which no other religion can claim, whatsoever (although Christianity is not a religion) . Only God can declare the future and then fulfill it, not man.

    -CREATION: Foundation of the Gospel, proves God exists. A large amount of God's Word deals with the Creation and the Flood of Noah, the beginning of it all, etc. Creation undeniable (Romans 1:20) proves the existence of God to the world.
    -PROPHECY: Also has very heavy weight in Scripture, proves our God exists without any question or doubt, leaving no excuse for unbelievers

    -Cover to cover, Genesis 3:15 to the end, prophecy and its fulfillment show God's love for us
    -Prophecy is fulfilled in the Gospel of the LORD Jesus Christ given in the Garden of Eden to Adam and Eve

    Genesis 3:15
    And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

    -All of prophecy to date, in detail, according to God's timing, has been fulfilled exactly as foretold, with exact timing, in detail, with nothing missing, and more fulfillments are to come until eternity

    Galatians 4:4
    But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law

    -Before the genealogical records were destroyed
    -When the temple was still standing
    -Before the sceptre departed from Judah

    -Prophecy is very important to Scripture
    -Only God can foretell, in detail, so many things, to be fulfilled in detail at a certain later time, and make those things happen exactly as He said, exactly when He said, exactly when He wants
    -Some prophecies have an exact order and timing, so that they are able to be anticipated exactly, such as Daniel chapter nine, on the exact coming of the Messiah.

    -God is never never called the god of the Americans or of the Arabs or the Muslims, only the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, the God of Israel,
    -This is why Satan uses Islam to attempt (in failure) to utterly destroy Israel "to take their land back" because it would prove the Bible is wrong, and he hated God, Israel, the Word of God and you and I.
    -Israel is the number one topic of prophecy in over two thousand verses
    -Other prophecies have no time set on them and can happen at any time God wants, two if which are the Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church and the destruction of Damascus, Syria, written as prophecy in Isaiah chapter seventeen, and treated, cited below. Both are very soon, any time now, but we do not know exactly. We merely know we are close; we are in the season. Let us discern the season by the signs Jesus gave us and act accordingly.

    ISRAEL: PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT

    Formed thousands of years ago, Israel is God's people through whom He said and did bless the entire world. They have been, are and will always be the most persecuted nation ever. They have been conquered, everything they had destroyed, murdered, imprisoned, tortured, scattered, and yet, they are still there, occupying a mere thirteen percent of the land God gave them, and that land is now divided for the first time. This is after 1900 plus years of being scattered throughout all of the nations on earth.

    Their importance as a nation is in the fact that their existence means God is faithful, as it shows His character, integrity and very existence are proven by Israel and the Jews being alive. If there was no God there would be no Israel. The enemy knows this and has been trying to wipe Israel and the Jews off of earth since Abraham, Isaac, Jacob. This is exactly what he tried to do with the Messiah, the LORD Jesus Christ.

    God said He would form them. Give them land, promises of blessings. He warned t hem they would be persecuted to the ends of the earth and scattered, but brought back in the last days, one last time, never to be ousted, and their Messiah would come to that land to save and rule over them on the Throne of David. He is not done with Israel in any way. Understand this: IF there is no Israel at the Second Coming, if there are no Jews left on earth, then there is no rule of the Messiah over ISRAEL!! And God's Word would be proven wrong!

    TODAY IN OUR LIFETIME

    Innumerable times an American president, without exception, has called on ISRAEL (not one of her enemies) to "CEASEFIRE!!!" or "EXERCISE RESTRAINT!", usually after their enemy has been lobbing missiles into Israel, committing shootings, stabbings, other terrorist attack and then Israel finally responds with firepower to stop it. The timing is very predictable each time.

    THE SCATTERING, JUDGMENT, REGATHERING

    Nehemiah 1:8
    Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:

    Jeremiah 15:4
    And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Jude ah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.

    Jeremiah 29:18
    And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:

    Jeremiah 34:17
    Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

    Jeremiah 44:8
    In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?

    THE OLD TO THE NEW

    Old testament teaching is that there would be a whole new Priesthood, a whole new prophet like unto God and a whole new covenant with Israel.

    Hosea 3:4-5
    For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim: Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.

    This is fulfilled today, awaiting the new Third Temple for sacrifices

    (Deuteronomy 18:15
    The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

    This is Jesus, a Prophet and more than a prophet, but God Himself, Who said "like unto me" above. His forerunner was John the Baptist, in the spirit of Elijah, heralding the Messiah's arrival for Israel. See Matthew 11.

    THE MESSIAH COMES: PROPHECY FULFILLED

    Romans 1:1-6
    PAUL, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Luke 7:11-23:
    And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still.
    And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people. And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about. And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things. And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
    When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

    -How was John able to say, " Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?" if they were not expecting the Messiah to come?
    -Their Old Testament told John that the Messiah would arrive, how he would be born (Bethlehem), where He would be raised (A Nazareth), what He would be called (Nazarene), about His miracles he had just heard about, how He would die (Psalms 22), that He would die for us Daniel 9:27), that He would enter Jerusalem, (Zechariah 9:9), on a donkey, enter the temple, declare Himself the Messiah of Israel, etc on the exact day prophesied (Daniel 9:24-37).....
    -...continuing, how he would be betrayed by thirty pieces of silver, the price for a slave
    -How four days later after His Triumphant entry into Jerusalem, He would be crucified, but not for Himself, as the Passover Lamb, on a special Passover date which happens rarely in Israel on the calendar-but PRECISELY as prophesied on that very day He rode in on that donkey

    (Exodus 12:1-8 ([KJV])
    And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

    -How the disciples would be scattered at the crucifixion.
    -How three days later, he would rise from the dead and be seen of His disciples, including doubting Thomas
    -JESUS CHRIST IS GOD and prophecy and prophecy fulfilled proves that.

    Acts 13:23-25
    Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus: When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

    John, Elijah who was to come, told of the seed of David Jesus Christ, according to the promise

    Acts 13:27
    For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

    All was written in their scriptures, foretold in the prophets, and they did not believe them This is what Paul is telling them here.

    Acts 13:28-29 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain. And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

    "when they had fulfilled all that was written of him"....can't be much clearer than that.

    THE SIGNS OF THE TIME: WHAT TIME IS IT?

    Tick tock, Tick tock, Tick tock, or, as Chuck Missler used to say,

    We are in “the time of the signs.”, because we are seeing the signs of the times.

    Rise in End Times Signs

    There are four types of signs spoken of in the prophets and by Jesus regarding these last days, and what we are to watch for. We are told to watch, so what do wee watch for and, when we do, what will we see?

    1.) Signs in the world today: wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes all over the place, growing in number and intensity, famines, evil, lawlessness, violence, crazy, both supernatural and, apparently now, manmade wild weather patterns which defy normal explanation…
    2.) Signs in the church of Laodicea, the last, lukewarm church of apostasy, the great falling away, false teachers, false prophetswhile at that same moment a worldwide gospel preaching through media, the internet and missionaries, intense persecution, persecution, …
    3.) Signs in Israel – constant attacks, intense hatred worldwide, invasions, severe persecution of Jews in Israel and worldwide, wars against her from all sides Signs in the heavens – fearful solar and cosmic disturbances, asteroids …

    It is the end times, that season spoken of, the time of the fig tree for sure, because none of this has ever happened before and it is all happening simultaneously worldwide, precisely as prophesied. It is one minute, one second before midnight on God's clock for His Rapture, but we do not know when that last tick of the hand is, only God knows. We can only know that we are in the season, the general time, because:

    THIS JUST IN....

    Pope Leo's Mosque Visit Raises Serious Concerns Over Doctrinal Confusion

    "Pope Leo XIV's recent visit to the Mosque of Algiers--where he removed his shoes, stood in silent reflection before the mihrab, and expressed gratitude for being in "a place that represents the space proper to God"--is not a harmless gesture of goodwill. It is a deeply consequential moment that raises serious questions about how the highest office in the Catholic Church is choosing to represent Christian truth in the public square."

    This is a shrine called, "The Martyrs Monument " to honor the terrorists who murdered Jews and Catholics and Christians. There ya go. Imagine Jesus going there and doing this? Honoring those who murder His chosen people? Did Jesus ask His disciples to murder anyone who did not follow Him? No, he did not. It "raises no questions" with us who believe God's Word.

    Trump: Iran deal to be signed Friday will bring ‘peace and security’ to region

    "Many presidents have tried to make Peace with Iran, and all have failed before me," he said in the post on Sunday. “The Leaders of the Region have, for the first time, found a President who can help them achieve real Peace. With the opening of the Strait upon the signing of the Deal on Friday, for purposes of mine removal, oil will flow on both ends again for the Region, and the World!”

    PAUSE: 15 POINT PLAN:

    This "plan" is a fulfillment of so much prophecy (Zechariah 12:2-3) of the last days that it takes a small child to understand what is wrong and what is going on here. It is all against Israel and for the invaders of her land, like it said would be the case> This will lead to two things: 1.) The last holocaust
    2.) The alignment of all nations (including the current U.N., the U.S. and the Muslim U.N. being formed currently being formed by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. This is starting to fulfill Ezekiel 38-39. Some of these nations may drop off later from the entire army to come against Israel, others join. This is merely shaping up now, not totally ready

    "A comprehensive strategy for the full implementation of President Trump's peace plan for Gaza, 30th July Principles
    1. All parties reaffirm their commitment to President Trump's comprehensive plan to achieve peace in Gaza, which, along with UN Security Council Resolution 2803 (2025), constitutes the internationally agreed-upon framework that shall guide the implementation of this process. Through this process, the parties aim to end the cycle of destruction, secure the full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, restore normal life, enable Palestinian governance, advance reconstruction, security, recovery and economic development, rehabilitation of affected sectors, and facilitate the launch of a credible political path that achieves self-determination and the establishment of a Palestinian state.

    2. Israel will complete the implementation of all remaining obligations under the Sharm el-Sheikh Memorandum in full and without delay, specifically the cessation of military operations as detailed in Annex (1). Hamas and the Palestinian factions will likewise complete the cessation of all military operations in accordance with the Sharm el-Sheikh Memorandum and the peace plan. In parallel, the timeline and implementation mechanisms attached to ("Implementation of Phase Two") will be prepared within 14 days, subject to extension by a decision of the International Verification Committee following the approval of the plan by all parties. As soon as the timeline and implementation mechanisms have been finalised, the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) will enter the Strip and begin carrying out its duties. ​An International Verification Committee - established by the Board of Peace and composed of representatives of the guarantors, the Board of Peace, and the International Stabilisation Force - will certify that both parties have fulfilled their obligations under the agreed strategy before proceeding to the implementation of Phase Two.

    3. The transition from one phase to the next will be contingent upon the verified completion of the previous phase's obligations. This will be certified by the International Verification Committee, which will monitor any violations by either party through enhanced monitoring mechanisms.

    4. Hamas and the other factions agree to hand over all civil and security governance functions in Gaza to the National Committee, in alignment with President Trump’s comprehensive peace plan for Gaza. They further affirm that the National Committee will operate with full independence in fulfilling its mandates and that the factions will refrain from interfering in the committee’s affairs during the transitional period, pursuant to UN Security Council Resolution 2803 (2025).

    5. Upon taking full responsibility in Gaza, the National Committee will ensure the continuity of civil institutions and public services. All public employees will be treated fairly, legally, and with dignity regarding their rights. Those whose services are terminated or who are retired during the transitional period will be granted their entitlements in accordance with Palestinian law. With international support, the National Committee shall conduct a comprehensive audit of the financial and administrative situation in Gaza, while safeguarding and restoring the management of public resources and assets. The National Committee shall assess and address legitimate commitments to suppliers, contractors, and other parties, not exceeding a total of $400m. These measures shall be implemented gradually, within three years, according to priorities determined by the National Committee. Any unresolved rights, liabilities, or financial claims shall be addressed later within the context of a broader national process, in accordance with relevant Palestinian law. Security

    6. Gaza will be governed according to the principle of "one authority, one law, one weapon." The National Committee will operate in alignment with Palestinian laws, relevant international standards, and the principles of good governance.

    7. Newly trained police personnel will be integrated into existing police structures. All police personnel shall undergo comprehensive vetting. Those who do not meet the required vetting standards will be offered alternative civil roles consistent with their previous expertise or will be retired in accordance with Palestinian law. None of these individuals will be deprived of their financial entitlements, specifically due to their political affiliations. All police weaponry will be transferred to the responsibility and authority of the National Committee upon its entry into Gaza and the commencement of its duties.

    8. A process for inventorying and storing heavy weapons, military production sites, weapons depots, and tunnels shall commence following the completion of the remaining obligations under the Sharm el-Sheikh Protocol, the entry of the National Committee, and the deployment of the International Stabilisation Force. This process will be managed and implemented by the National Committee in a gradual, sequential, and time-bound manner, based on an implementation schedule to be finalised within 14 days, subject to extension upon a decision of the International Verification Committee following the approval of all parties to the strategy. This process is linked to a phased Israeli withdrawal from the areas it controls in Gaza and the inventorying of weapons held by armed militias in accordance with section 10 of this plan. The process will be monitored and verified by the International Verification Committee, with support from the International Stabilisation Force. Palestinian factions will participate in this process, and no weapons will be transferred or surrendered to Israel or any non-Palestinian parties. At the conclusion of the process outlined in sections seven to 10 of this plan, the National Committee alone shall retain, store, or control weapons in Gaza. The implementation of this plan, including the issue of weapons and the other provisions of the comprehensive peace plan, shall create the appropriate conditions for a credible path towards achieving Palestinian self-determination and the establishment of a Palestinian state.

    9. Personal weapons in Gaza shall be subject to the provisions of relevant Palestinian laws. The National Committee, as the transitional authority in Gaza, shall be the sole authority for registering weapons, issuing and revoking licenses, and enforcing the law, including through reintegration and social support. All factions, clans, and elements of Palestinian society in Gaza shall cooperate with the National Committee in this process.

    10. The inventory/collection of militia weapons and their storage under the authority of the National Committee shall take place according to an agreed-upon timeline. Personnel from these militias shall not be absorbed into the security apparatuses or police. The International Verification Committee shall be responsible for verifying the achievement of this.

    11. A social peace agreement shall be signed, in line with Palestinian customs and laws, including commitments to an immediate cessation of internal violence, the avoidance of acts of revenge, shows of force, military parades, and armed demonstrations.

    International Stabilisation Force and Israeli Troop Withdrawal

    12. An interim International Stabilisation Force shall be deployed in the Gaza Strip to separate Israeli forces from areas under the control of the National Committee. The International Stabilisation Force will not perform any policing duties or tasks related to Palestinian society, nor will it undertake any ceasefire enforcement or training of Palestinian police. It will also monitor all parties' compliance, the flow of humanitarian and essential needs into the Gaza Strip, and any non-policing tasks as requested by the National Committee.

    13. Israeli forces will complete their phased withdrawal from the Gaza Strip according to an agreed-upon timeline, as stipulated in Section Eight of the plan, which includes a commitment not to force anyone to leave the Strip.

    14. The National Committee will be responsible for handling internal security incidents.

    Reconstruction

    15. The reconstruction of the Gaza Strip and the provision of necessary resources and funding will be implemented according to a plan and timeline established and overseen by the Peace Council and the National Committee, in accordance with relevant laws and international standards.

    SEEING A PATTERN YET?

    Notable Examples (from public reports)

    Early March 2026: Trump told CBS the war is “very complete, pretty much” (Iran has “no navy, no air force,” etc.) and would end “very soon.” cbsnews.com
    Mid-March: Multiple statements that “we’ve won,” it was “over in the first hour,” or “practically over.” He said he could end it “any time I want.” newsweek.com
    Late March: At least several more claims of victory or imminent end (one outlet tallied ~12 hints/declarations by ~March 31). firstpost.com April: Primetime address and other remarks claiming core objectives were nearing completion and the war would wrap up “very shortly,” while planning more strikes. timesofisrael.com
    June 2026: He declared the war “done,” “ended the war today,” or similar after pausing strikes/negotiations (even as Iran pushed back and peace remained uncertain). washingtonpost.com

    In every instance the last 1,700 years, Muslims terrorized, brutalized, beheaded, destroyed so many and with so much blood that they love to spill, then, upon being repelled, they make a "peace deal", feigning that there will be peace,. while they secretly prepare for more war and break the peace treaty.

    Throughout all of this, recently, for decades now, ISRAEL has been attacked and, when they retaliate, are told be EVERY U.S. president, the U.N., and all nations involved to "EXERCISE RESTRAINT"

    Every "peace" "deal" made has been broken by the Muslims in history. There is no reason to ever make one with them. To do so is foolishness and will always fail.

    In fulfillment of the Scriptures.....

    1 Thessalonians 5:3
    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.

    What the above, combined with Revelation and all prophecy of the last days, is that Islam will break (and has thus far) any and ALL "peace deals" ever made-then blamed Israel. This will happen in the middle of the seventieth week of Daniel.

    Jeremiah 6:14
    They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

    Jeremiah 8:11
    For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

    1 Thessalonians 5:3
    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.

    AS A RESULT OF THAT...

    A massive golden idol, dubbed “Don Colossus,” reportedly stands about 22 feet tall, including its pedestal, a statue of President Trump, was dedicated by a "Mega Pastor" Mark Burns, a spiritual advisor to the White House, who instantly proclaimed it was not a "golden calf", which instantly begs the question,
    "Why would someone be so fast to even say that, unless it is golden in color and looks like an idol?"

    OUT OF THE MOUTH OF ROME...

    Theodore Herzl, founder of the Zionist Movement, in 1904, wrote to Theodore, wrote to Pope Pius X to give a blessing on the Zionist Movement, to help the Jews trying to return to Israel. The pope's reply:

    " We cannot give approval to this movement. We cannot prevent the Jews from going to Jerusalem—but we could never sanction it. The soil of Jerusalem, if it was not always sacred, has been sanctified by the life of Jesus Christ. As the head of the Church I cannot tell you anything different. The Jews have not recognized our Lord, therefore we cannot recognize the Jewish people."

    His secretary of the state of the Vatican, Pietro Gasparri, in 1919 said,

    "The thing that frightens us the most is the creation of a Jewish State in Palestine."

    THE "PALESTINIAN" PROBLEM TODAY

    - Backwards judgment by judges and juries in the U.S., where criminals of all levels of fortune and fame are let go with a slap on the wrist, REPEATEDLY, while innocents challenging the system can go to prison for a long time or even be assassinated for just talking out and exposing corruption
    -Constant talk of a One World Religion, a One World Government, a One World leader
    -The Pope Paul II in 1996, with many other "religious leaders" worldwide, hosted a "World Day of Prayer for Peace in Assisi" in Assisi of a hundred and sixty religious leaders worldwide with snake worshippers, a Hindu guru, Buddhists, Muslims, the Dalai Lama ()who the pope sat next to) , the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel (?), fire worshippers, shamans, shintoists, animists, satanists, witches, spiritists, North American Indian witch doctors, one of whom walked up to the microphone to pray for peace and and the pope said after that,"We are all worshiping the same god, our prayers are bringing a spiritual energy, bringing about a new climate for peace." He invited everyone and welcomed them, all but one group-TRUE, SCRIPTURAL, BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS. Think about that.

    It is not peace at all, but a false peace:

    Daniel 8:25
    And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

    Jeremiah 6:14
    They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

    Jeremiah 8:11
    For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

    1 Thessalonians 5:3
    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.

    The Word of God calls Jesus "The Prince of Peace", not "popes" or anyone else:

    Isaiah 9:6
    For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

    The pope said to the Hindu guru Sri Chimnoy who started about eighty Hindu ashram communities around the world, who also attended,

    "Your message and my message are the same!".

    Yeah, they are the same, and neither one is from God, but rather the god of this world who has blinded their eyes, who has always, does and always will say, "yea, hath God said...".

    They even had popular "Christian" authors, like J.I. Packer, Bill Bright, Pat Robertson, all telling the pope, "Yeah, your message and MY message is the same!"

    Now think, read Genesis 3 and talk to God about the serpent in the garden! "yea, hath God said....?" and "ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil..."

    -The popes have "dialogued" with all of the other religions for years and years. Jesus said to "preach the Gospel", not to "look for common ground, common things among us and pagans!" That is what Jesus said. Specifically. It is what the first century disciples did, especially after the dispersia, when Paul said,

    "lo, we turn to the Gentiles" (Acts 13:46).

    This fulfills Isaiah 52:10 and Malachi 1:11:

    Isaiah 52:10
    The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

    Malachi 1:11
    For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.

    Think for a moment of this prophecy. Walk the earth all of your life, travel it, fly it, drive it. Can you find t hat one place where the going down of the sun is, and where it rises? No, you cannot. It goes down here, but is coming up in another place. Always and forever.

    Mark 16:15
    And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

    Acts 13:46
    Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

    Jesus openly disputed His Truth against their legalism and made up "truth" (His Word, unbelieved, in the Synagogues and in the streets. So did Paul and the other disciples, to the point of jail, eatings, jail, death. None of them found "common dialogues with unbelievers who opposed Jeus Christ.

    PAUL AT MARS HILL, ACTS 17:22-33

    Mars Hill today would be a college auditorium, classroom, county fair, street corner, tell-a-vision show where people discuss the latest this, that is declared" new", as in "some new thing". There os nothing new under the sun, as Solomon said in Ecclesiastes.

    Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
    God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
    That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
    And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
    And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter. So Paul departed from among them .

    - The thing that separates God from false gods is that the God of the Bible is first of all Creator of the world and worlds, now called the universe with the sun, moon and stars, in six days and gave us the week. This was His first acts recorded. This makes Him unique.
    -People are constantly mocking us more and more daily for believing in the Pre -Tribulation Rapture (2 Peter 3:3-4)
    -The church and the world is mostly not watching and are not awaiting the Rapture like they will be in the Great Tribulation
    -Sin, waxing worse and worse daily, hourly
    -No fear of God, because "We cannot see Him; therefore He does not exist!"
    -An exponential growth of Islam in the last hundred years, especially the last fifty, worldwide. It is a most wicked, evil, violent, blood-lusty, lying, false, moon -god worshiping, pagan governmental system that beheads "infidels" (all non -Muslims) with the threat of "convert or die" because they have no Gospel.
    -Constant talk of and attempts to utterly destroy Israel with most of the world's leaders completely ignoring that effort, or helping it
    -Ecumenism, with the "church" and church participating in it.
    -Israel is back in their land
    -Israel is the barometer of prophecy and history

    ISRAEL AS PROOF OF GOD

    Isaiah 43:10-12
    Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.

    -God chose them to bring forth the Messiah
    -They are the top prophecy priority in Scripture, called some 3,000 times
    -God is called, calling Himself "the God of Israel" 201 times
    -That is His identity and His character, integrity and proof of existence is toed to their very existence like the church, the body of Christ
    -For this reason, they have been, are and will be the most persecuted, scatter and regathered people ever in all of history.
    -They were given a land, by God Himself, a special relationship to God as His people, His children, as well
    -The enemy and enemies want to destroy Israel because that enemy knows that Israel is God's people and the enemy wants that land for satan's spawn, the Muslims.

    Muhammed himself said, "The last day will not come until the muslims confront the last Jews and the muslims destroy them! Even the rocks and the trees will cry out, "Muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him"!".
    Yeah, good luck with that. And there Israel, still to this day, protected by God aganst all of them, against all odds. is to this day. That is Islam once again, failing, as always to remove Israel. Which makes them even more hateful and angry, daily.

    -That same exact Islam teaches Jesus Christ did not defeat satan at the Cross, that not only did not Jesus die in our place, but somebody died in His place, on the Cross, certainly not for our sin, but someone else died in His place. They believe that God prevented this abominable event by putting another person, who resembled Jesus on the Cross, then took Jesus to heaven alive, body and soul, to heaven. The Quran never mentions about the exact identity of this person, but they know believe with absolute certainty that it was not "the Prophet Jesus".
    -There is more absolute evidence for the death, burial and resurrection than any other event in history which is why ANYONE HONESTLY investigating it gets saved, every time. Those who do not get saved, dishonestly "research" it and die without being saved. Two perfect examples are Simon Greenleaf (1783-1853) a lawyer, one of the main founders of the Harvard Law School, and John McDowell, both of whom set out specifically and very aggressively to prove the Bible was wrong and that Jesus is not God. THEY FAILED and got saved. PRAISE JESUS!
    -When God gave them that land, He promised it to them forever with His warning that, if they disobeyed and followed other gods which are not gods, He would judge them, scatter them and that was always with the promise that He would always keep a remnant to return to that land he gave them
    -The nation, people and land of Israel is the number one topic in prophecy
    -Following the enemy and not God for all of mankind, including a lot today the church itself, deceived or in rejection, is why we have anti-Semitism, holocaust after holocaust

    (Numbers 23:9, Balaam speaks:
    For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.

    Numbers 24:17-19
    I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth. And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly. Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.

    Matthew 2:2
    Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

    Balaam said about Israel:

    (Numbers 23:9
    For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.

    All of these prophecies were fulfilled and yet prophesied by a man who utterly rejected God and died that way, Balaam. (Numbers 23:9, above) Yet God used him. God EVEN used the ass he was riding on! Right now, this total lack of being reckoned among the nations had to happen in a time when all of the nations existed and can talk to each other regularly and they completely ignore Israel. Like the UN today which utterly abhors Israel and ONLY has her enemies on the Human Rights Commission (Muslims) and the Security Council (also Muslims). Fulfilled now in the last days.191 nations or so are members, Israel among them for seventy years.

    Israel is not allowed to belong to the International Red Cross. But the Red Crescent (Islam) belongs in it.

    Israel signed the Geneva Convention and many of these terrorist nations who are included and part of the above organizations, commissions refused.

    MAINSTREAM CHRISTIANS WHO WERE OR ARE AGAiNST ISRAEL

    They were or are part of the "Replacement Theology" lie, some are dead.

    -Dr. D. James Kennedy
    -R.C. Sprowl
    -Michael S. Horton
    -Bob Funk of "The Jesus Seminar"
    -Their false claim is/was that "ALL PROMISES made to Abraham, through Isaac and Jacob (Israel) and the nation of Israel, forever, now belong to the church!"
    -Below is just one paragraph in their heretical, false statement:

    "The entitlement of any ethnic or religions group to territory in the Middle East called the Holy Land cannot be supported by Scripture.....in fact, the land promises in the Old testament were fulfilled under Joshua"

    Joshua died at 110 years old and these are EVERLASTING promises

    Matthew 23:38-39
    Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

    Luke 13:35
    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.

    The "replacement" "theologians" would like you to stop at "your house is left unto you desolate:".....but it continues to then tell them they WILL see Jesus again and will say,
    "...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. "

    THE "TEN LOST TRIBES" LIE

    Ezekiel 37:19
    Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

    Think. Is there a division of the two nations of Judah and Israel today in that land? No. It is ISRAEL, no matter the tribes, they are north, south, east and west in Israel, all in the same nation, same areas, same neighborhoods. No tribe is lost. In the New Testament, there is no mention of the different nations as lost or scattered, and any person "of the tribe of _________" is IN Israel the land. They are not "in the land of Judah"

    Jeremiah 23:8
    But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

    Jeremiah 3:17-18
    At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart. In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.

    Jeremiah 30:3 ([KJV])
    For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

    "In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel". This means that the "Ten Lost Tribes" are not lost. If they were lost, why not just now return to the land God gave them like the other Jews who have already returned and join them?
    There are no "ten lost tribes of Israel"........why? Because they are in Revelation chapters four to the end God knows who and where they are; we do not need to question that. There are those who think they are "British Israel". Think about that for a moment. If they were "British Israel", why wonm't they just go back to the land they think is theirs? This nothing more than a form of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, anti-Semitic delusion.

    This is both future prophecy, and the return started in 1948 which has not stopped.

    Those ten tribes in Jesus's days on earth:

    Luke 2:36
    And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;

    Acts 13:21
    And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

    Matthew 2:20
    Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.

    Romans 11:1
    I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

    Philippians 3:5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

    -God therein corrects the liars on this nation of Israel!

    -Israel is utterly hated by many nations and that is now getting very great now and public
    -The church is completely apostate in the U.S. and now mostly turning against Israel -Most do not teach on Creation/Evolution ("too divisive")
    -Most do not teach on prophecy and current events ("too divisive")
    -Most DO teach on "feel good" "Christianity" like false emphasis and teaching on sign gifts, to become popular, inoffensive, "how to be successful" and create "mega churches"(create kingdoms for themselves with lots of donation$$$$$$$)
    -Many have yoga classes, meditation classes (not meditating on God's Word ), "self improvement" classes (which have nothing to do with growing in the LORD), "self enrichment" classes, and all sorts of other occultic practices
    -False teachers are absolutely EVERYWHERE, making believe they believe that Bible in their hands, all the while rejecting and correcting it to "tickle ears" that are itching. -God's Word does not tickle itching ears, but convicts us of sin. I can both encourage and hurt!
    -This all happens when they violate 2 Peter 1:20, "Knowing this, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation"...and they think they can privately interpret it to make it say what they want, not what God says.
    -God has fulfilled His prophecy concerning Israel all through history, even until today:

    (Deuteronomy 28:37
    And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.

    Deuteronomy 28:63-64
    And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.

    It happened, over and over! It is the reason we called them "wandering Jews" and a vine was even named after them which grows all over one's yard.
    It is why Sound and look familiar today? See that rise in anti-Semitism worldwide? Because Israel was then returned one last time to their land by God in 1947.

    2 Timothy 4:3
    For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

    -Earthquakes are ramping up in number in places worldwide that have never recorded even having them, which geologically is the exact opposite of what would happen if evolutionism were true and the earth was billions of years old.

    EARTHQUAKES

    A listing of earthquakes, magnitudes, frequency, locations, is found at Earthquake Listings

    -1890-1960, two to three major earthquakes recorded
    -1960, the above listed major earthquakes
    -2025, the below listed major earthquakes

    That graph above is a representation of all of the signs needed for the last days, the Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the church, the start of the Great Tribulation and the Second Coming. All of the events necessary have been happening and are happening, faster and faster, the players are on the stage, waiting for the cue from God to go forward. The next steps are very sudden as that line gets more vertical daily.

    MORE SIGNS...


    -Worldly knowledge is increasing very fast along with technology
    -The technology now includes the ability to put a microchip any place in the body and have a one world language without actually billions learning it
    -The technology now includes artificial intelligence
    -The technology now includes virtual reality
    -The express intention by world leaders for years to place that chip in the back of the hand and the forehead, exactly as Revelation tells us

    The Word of God never changes.

    (Revelation 13:16 [KJV/PCE)
    And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

    Both of these places are the only places in the body that do not change as we grow, leaving them exactly in place and functioning for the life of the person.


    -The desire of the world to accept it nearly wholesale, now without question
    -Europe is being united, now being taken over by Islam, wholesale.
    -Blood moons, eclipses, other signs in the sun, moon and stars, etc.
    -Worldwide rise of absolute evil.
    -Islam is one the rise worldwide and it is THE religion for beheadings as is prophesied in Revelation.

    (Revelation 20:4 [KJV/PCE)
    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.


    -There is a rise of false Christs and false teachers, massive deception in the church and the world.

    For instance..."Chrislam".....and the below:

    -All "popes" and members of the ecumenical movement
    -Benjamin Creme
    -David Barton, founder of "WallBuilders"
    -The late Billy Graham
    -Franklin Graham, his son
    -Hugh Ross
    -Benny Hinn

    PAUSE: Just one false prophecy among thousands wit this false prophet. He was preaching in South Africa and a man collapsed and fell off of his chair into the aisle and the ambulances came to take him to the hospital. While they were taking him to the hospital, Benny Hinn said, "Not to worry. God has revealed to me he is going to be okay." The man died on the way to the hospital!

    Now look at the Word of God and Paul in Acts:

    Acts 20:7-11
    And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together. And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead. And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.

    Eutychus was "taken up dead", falling from the third floor (loft). Not out of a chair, three stories down.

    Later, Benny Hinn the false prophet "prophesied and prayed" for a man with cancer in Switzerland and falsely claimed that he "healed him, which was "the great ministry that God had for him for years to come". Two days later the man died!

    This is one of the false teachers who deceived many in these last days, in fulfillment of Jesus's prophecy, along with the apostles after in the epistles, and John in revelation-mass deception in the false church and the world.

    -Morris Cerullo
    -Brandon Manning, Catholic mystic
    -Kenneth & Gloria Copeland

    "Kenneth Copeland he said December 2nd, 2001, Kenneth Copeland did on December 12, 2001. At a dedication service Copeland asserted that one billion Muslims would be converted in the next few months. His exact words were, “And there are going to be multiplied millions upon millions; there’s going to be close to a billion people that have been trapped in that religion, that in the next few months are gonna come into the kingdom of God (cheering). That is gonna happen; you watch and see what I’m telling you…”
    (Christian News 5/24/04; p.2). (Gospel Gleaner, Volume 20, No. 3-4, p. 7, Column 1 – July-Dec. 2005)

    And Islam has now taken over much of the world, now taking over America. Billions will be converted to Islam, part of the one world religion, or die. Many are currently being persecuted worldwide, being tortured, burned alive, beheaded. The Word of God was right; false prophet Kenneth Copeland wrong.

    -This is a tiny list, there are more.....is your church leader to be included here?

    Add to that another one, Kirk Cameron, actor:

    LEFT BEHIND: Kirk Cameron Abandons The Pretribulation Rapture In Favor Of ‘Heavenizing Earth’ Thru Postmillennialism And 7 Mountains Mandate.

    He literally said in an interview with the Christian Post:
    " “So what I would say is, the future of the Kingdom of God is built and it hinges upon faithful moms and dads believing the promises of God and faithfully training their kids up in the way they should go.”"

    Which is utterly false. The Kingdom of God will be under Christ, not because we create it by beoming somehow a world for Him to return to. Should we homeschool? Yes. Does that bring the Kingdom of God? NEVER! Reading the entire thing makes one nauseous, as it is a works salvation message. He said:

    "The world is bad, it’s run by the devil, I’m not of this world, I just need to make sure I have my relationship right with God, and one day, I'll go to Heaven where everything will be OK.”
    “The only problem with that is that I think that it kills the power of the Gospel,” Cameron said, adding that the Gospel is what transforms hearts, marriages, families, communities and entire cultures.
    “My goal shouldn't be to get from Earth to Heaven, but to be saved and transformed so that I can bring Heaven to Earth,” he added."

    He does not even understand the Gospel, the Scriptures, prophecy, Whose Kingdom it is that is coming. These are the last days deceptions, with huge followings. These people have built their own earthly kingdoms off of deception, going against their Saviour to gather large donations, enrich themselves. As a Messianic Jew once told Dave Hunt in a letter,

    "Time was when thirty pieces of silver was enough. "

    These people all taught a false gospel, a prosperity gospel and a "Replacement Theology" gospel, where they want you to think that the church replaces Israel. Their false teachings, among others:

    - "The church will take over the world!" (just send us money to make it happen)
    - "The church will establish Christ's kingdom!" (just send us money to make it happen)
    - "We are building Christ's Kingdom!" (just send us money to make it happen)
    - We will get "Christian" voted in, take over the schools, the government and we will do it by FORCE if we have to!" (just send us a generous donation of money to make it happen)
    -What this does is make any unbelievers think Christianity is some sort of power hungry cult, money hungry and, in many ways, these televangelists have made it exactly that! - While these frauds have you looking for Christ's Kingdom, they are unwittingly or knowingly building the anti-Christ system, for a century or so now!

    There are many, many more now in these last days and more coming, daily. The more these false prophets came up with and come up with these false prophecies, the more follower$$$$ they had. $ee a motive here?

    Acts 20:29-31
    For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

    These phony hereticks are merely continuing on a monumental lever that which Paul said would happen in his day. Today? THis is multiplied many times over in these last days.

    They bring to mind what God said of the false teachers in Israel in Isaiah:

    Isaiah 29:13
    Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:

    Matthew 7:15
    Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

    Jesus did not say wolves in wolves clothing (deadly dangerous, visible), nor sheep in sheep's clothing (harmless). He means feigning one thing and hiding the true you to be revealed when it is too late.

    Matthew 24:4
    And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

    Mark 13:5-7
    And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.

    -Jesus knows that we can and would be deceived
    -Jesus knows that we can avoid being deceived
    -Many coming to Christ worldwide who are seeing these signs, worldwide
    -False "land for peace agreements" and "land for peace treaties", raw, bad deals for Israel, between Israel and their enemies, for the last nearly eighty years, constantly, which do nothing, because God said they would not:

    THE CURSE OF DAVID'S SIN UP ON ISRAEL

    2 Samuel 12:10
    Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.

    This is the ONLY reason that this has happened and not because their enemies will ultimately prevail and win. THEY CANNOT, as God told them that His Covenant of land and with His people is forever and based on HIM (Who does not ever change); not on mankind, not on Israel or their doings.

    Genesis 49:10
    The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be..

    What this means is that Israel will be at war, despite any attempts to stop it, until Jesus returns to save them from all of their enemies at His return and He will destroy their enemies (Russia, Muslims nations, God knows who else).

    THE SCEPTRE DEPARTED

    John 18:29-31
    Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man? They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee. Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:

    The sceptre was the right to put a man to death for blasphemy, a very necessary part of their law that was taken away.. Some tried, anyways, when they picked up stones to cast at Jesus for claiming to be the Messiah and breaking the Roman law. They failed, because another prophecy said,

    (Mark 10:33-34)
    Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

    Psalms 34:20
    He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

    Stoning Him would have done this fast with large stones breaking His bones. So they could not LEGALLY put Jesus to death because of a decree given in 7 A.D. under Pilate, Herod I or Herod Antipas (number two Herod), one of whom took that right away, before the crucifixion of Jesus. Only Rome now could do executions, so the Jews had to turn Jesus over to them for crucifixion..

    Mark 10:32-24
    And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him, Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

    Notice that it is into the hands of the Gentiles, not the Jews, after the death sentence. They themselves could not legally carry that out, which is why the Roman soldiers had to do it..

    So the Shiloh, the Messiah, Whoever He is, had to come before the temple was destroyed, before the genealogical records were destroyed showing Jesus of the line of David, before the sceptre departed from Judah, He had to arrive before now and die for our sins. IN FULFILLMENT OF THE SCRIPTURES. So then, knowing all of this, Who WAS and IS Shiloh? Who is the Messiah?

    FORWARD TO TODAY AGAIN....

    -Massive persecution of Christians worldwide, especially in Communist and Muslim countries, for centuries now, increasing faster and faster daily
    -People are constantly fulfilling 2 Peter 3:3-4:

    2 Peter 3:3-4 [KJV])
    Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.


    -This is open mocking and is exploding worldwide.

    THE $TEP$ DOWN TO APOSTASY

    -Preach the Word, according to Scripture
    -Go to a "seminary" (cemetery)
    -Use the world's marketing techniques, practices to build a large following, a "mega-church"
    -Hold regular "revival$"
    -Author a book ,get on radio, TV, do conferences
    -Do, say what the unbelieving publishers tell you that you must in order to remain popular and $ell
    -Compromise, more and more, associate with others who compromise
    -Do this all until you die

    WHO REQUIRES A SIGN?

    -Israel seek a sign, seek signs, and the Gentiles seek worldly knowledge, earthly wisdom, and earthly wisdom at that; not from God, in our flesh


    -Israel and the Jews repeatedly asked Jesus for a sign when He was on earth, and He gave them the most important one: That He would be three days in the belly of the earth, as Jonah was three days in the belly of the whale/fish.

    (I Corinthians 1:22 [KJV])
    For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

    It must be said that the Jews in both testaments asked God for signs, and especially asked them of Jesus.

    WHO IS SEEING THE THE SIGNS?

    -The world now, but not discerning them as from God and in fact denying them and blaming natural events on mankind, such as global warming, a normal cycle of earth, blaming it on "fossil" fuels while he deliberatrly sprays clouds to cover the sun and cool the earth, which is why God talks about destroying them because they are destroying the earth:

    (Revelation 11:18 [KJV])
    And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

    -The last sign is the LORD Himself coming back to earth at the Second Coming with ten thousands and thousands of His saints, on white horses. For many it will be too late for them:

    (Jude 14 [KJV])
    And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

    Zechariah 13:5
    And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

    ISRAEL IN PROPHECY

    The entire study on Israel being chosen of God is here, called Israel My Glory.
    Matthew 19:28
    And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

    Luke 22:30
    That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

    James 1:1
    James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

    Revelation 7:4
    And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

    Revelation 21:12
    And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

    How can this be of they are lost? They are not lost.


    -The nation was started by God using Abraham and his wife Sarah, in a miraculous birth of Isaac the promised seed, to an old couple, past child bearing age,, Isaac and Rebekah, having Jacob (later named Israel) which Jacob was the father of the twelve tribes of the nation of Israel
    -This is the nation whose lineage gave us the Messiah of Israel, the LORD Jesus Christ
    -This nation has survived more persecution, exile, discipline and judgment from God, revivals, etc. than any other nation on earth, by far, each time being returned to their land He gave them, unlike all other nations on earth.
    -No other nation has been scattered even one time and their temples, homes, land, businesses, families, possessions destroyed or taken, being themselves scattered, only to return and rebuild, only to be resurrected by God Himself miraculously as a strong nation-even once. Israel? Many times and this last one was the last time to return to the land God owns and gave them, never be removed. They will be scattered for a brief times s mentioned in Revelation, shortly into the rocks of Petra (still in their land) by the anti-Christ and his army, then quickly saved by Jesus on His return, destroying their enemies after them, the anti-Christ and false prophet. All of this is the end of the Revelation

    ISRAEL: PROOF OF GOD

    These are a handful from many more fulfilled prophecies in Israel, by God, some of which have been fulfilled repeatedly the last 5,000 years and still awaiting fulfillment

    -God told Abraham to leave, start walking with no destination and that he would be blessed with land and blessings for that faith FULFILLED

    -God's blessing was to go through Jacob and not Esau and, when Esau went to prepare for that blessing, Rachel Jacob's mother put Jacob there instead and got Jacob the unconditional, unchangeable blessing: FULFILLED
    -God told Moses that He would use him to bring Israel out of Egypt with many riches: FULFILLED
    -God gave Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua land promises from their enemies: FULFILLED
    -God told Israel of Assyrian captivity: FULFILLED
    -God told Israel of Babylonian captivity: FULFILLED
    -God told Daniel of all of the empires of the world, past, present and FUTURE: FULFILLED (ROME II is here, total world control and power is on its way)

    THE BEAST(S) WHO WOULD DEVOUR ISRAEL

    The first vision of the beasts is in Daniel, and represents the empire foretold, all come to pass, except one, which is Rome II, the Revived Roman Empire.

    Daniel 7:1-8:
    In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters. Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
    And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
    After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

    -The Babylonians would be defeated and conquered by the Medo -Persians
    -Medo-Persians would be defeated and conquered by the Greek Macedonians
    -The Greek-Macedonians would be defeated and conquered by the Romans
    -The ancient Roman Empire was never conquered, but was divided (the two legs) and s;ow;y crumbled succeeded. a;ways available and awaiting revival
    -The last great world power would be the ten toes in the image, a ten nation confederacy which would come from a revived Roman Empire
    -There are three visions given to John about this last empire, the Revived Roman Empire, represented by the fourth beast in Daniel:
    -Currently the number sort of goes up and down, but not really, and will eventually settle on ten
    -However, in 1974, the Club of Rome, a popish global power cult, has already divided the earth into ten regions, in NAFTA:

  • -The North American Union
  • The European Union
  • The Pacific Union
  • The Union of South American Nations

    After the Millennium:

    THE ENEMY AND MANKIND ALL: ONE LAST VAIN ATTEMPT

    Revelation 20:7-10
    And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

    Revelation 19:11-21
    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. 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. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
    And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 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.And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
    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; 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.
    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. 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. 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.

    Revelation 1:16
    And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

    UTTER FAILURE, all nations, east, west, north, south, together.........FAIL. The beloved city is God's city, given to Israel, Jerusalem, its capital.

    SO, BACK TO THE EMPIRES OF BEAST OVERALL

    -The first three beast/empires were fulfilled before John wrote Revelation
    -That last one is being fulfilled today, faster and faster daily
    -Another thing John saw was a woman riding that beast
    -Who is that woman? It HAS to be Rome, the Roman Catholic Church and no one else, because only she fits every description given

    ROME: THE WOMAN RIDING THE BEAST

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Roman Catholicism

    (2 Peter 1:20)
    Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

    (Isaiah 28:10)
    For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

    (Isaiah 28:13)
    But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.


    The differences between Roman Catholicism and true, Biblical Christianity are numerous, glaring and well documented in Scripture and history. Christianity and Roman Catholicism are so far apart that it is easier to say what they have in common than to say what the differences are, for instance:

    -Both believe in God
    -Both believe in the Deity of the LORD Jesus Christ
    -Both believe in the Trinity
    -And that is exactly where the similarities/commonalities end

    As Dave Hunt said it in his book, "A Woman Rides the Beast", it is not what Catholics believe, but rather what ELSE do they believe?" They add to the Word of God. They therefore have the WRONG JESUS CHRIST!
    He also said truly of the R.C.C., "They sell you tickets to heaven that end you up in hell"

    THE WOMAN SITTING ON THE BEAST: IDENTIFIED

    No one characteristic would ever do it, as there are, for instance, many cities on seven hills. But, when added together, all of these eliminate all other "women" could be riding the beast.

    - She is called "The city on seven hills" by all throughout history
    - Her name is "Babylon" (on her forehead)
    - Her actual code name is"Mystery, Babylon" (on her forehead)
    - Her colors are scarlet and purple
    - She is drunk with the blood of the martyrs
    - She is wealthy, powerful and rules (spiritual fornication) over all of the kings of the earth
    - She is a spiritual entity, which would allow this. She is not just any city
    - She calls herself "The Holy City"
    - One hates Israel in addition to all of the above, and claims she replaces "Israel now as God's chosen people"
    - One has a leader who claims to replace Christ (The "Vicar of Christ")
    - One city on earth has a leader who is uniting actively all religions of the world, as prophesied-all EXPECT Biblical Christianity
    - One city on earth calls itself "at the Spiritual Crossroads" as "all roads lead to Rome", spiritually and by their construction n Vatican city
    - One city on earth is self-declared as "both a worldwide spiritual and a worldwide governmental entity"
    - One city on earth is self-declared as "the center of all Christendom"
    - Rome and Vatican City (one) is the only city which is based upon its religion and has achieved its tremendous wealth and accumulation of property worldwide by wars, murdering millions, inventing a "property tax" and confiscating the properties with back due taxes.
    - Even all of the secular and atheistic, communist rulers and leaders on earth have called the popes, "The Highest Spiritual Authority on earth"
    -
    -
    -
    -

    This narrows it down to only one city on earth.

    Revelation 17:3
    So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

    Every single other doctrine espoused by the R.C.C. is rank, smelly, openly blasphemous and heretical! Even the similarities have their differences, as documented below. The claims below are by decree of the Roman Catholic religion in their catechism, edicts, papal bulls, ex-Cathedra pronouncements, news releases, etc. There is no Scripture at all to back them up, which is why none is included by them in support, or those few given are always out of context and twisted, changed and privately interpreted to make a false doctrine, rather than taking the actual sense of the verses and believing them as they are written and meant to be taken, and all this without any merit or honesty. When one does not believe the R.C.C. false doctrinal heresies, they then brand YOU the heretic, and call you "wayward", "drifted apart from the Mother Church". We have no "Mother Church" and certainly not in Rome. This was the reason for the Dark Ages, the Inquisition, the R.C.C.s disgusting, anti-God heresies- her lust for power, money and blood. There is a very long list of martyrs she made for a thousand years, called the Dark Ages for a reason. That list continues to be added to today in Catholic countries worldwide. She is for sure the woman riding the beast in Revelation, proven by herself and quite evident from all of her characteristics. NOT JUST the city on seven hills. That whole dark history is undeniable and unavoidable. We are commanded in 1 Timothy 2:15 to read the Scriptures, not to read into the Scriptures, which is why they do not want anyone to read the Word of God, because "only the priests, bishops, cardinals and popes of the R.C.C. can understand and interpret it"

    How did they get such power? They proclaimed that they had it given to them by God; only God never gave it to them, nor said He would nor said He did.

    Pope Gregory XI wrote a "papal bull" called In Coena Domini" in 1372 A.D. which said that they had complete dominion and authority over all Christendom, the entire Christian World. Isn't that easy and nice? Now imagine how angry Jesus will be when He returns to judge her once and for all!

    Add to that the fact that every single practice throughout all of her evil and wicked history was a bloody abomination against God and His people, both Israel and the true body of Christ, His Blood bought church-murdering them then as now, as often as they could, in "Catholic" countries to this day.

    The R.C.C. is pretending that the word "church" as used in Scripture refers to the "Holy Mother Church" of Rome. The churches in the New Testament were local, small, independent bodies in homes and other buildings, just congregations of early believers meeting for prayer. fellowship and careful study of the Word of God.
    The self declared "Holy Mother Church of Rome" is a massive religious, military and governmental organization/institution which has nothing to do with any local body of true Scriptural believers, but rules over millions of other of its own little "churches", overseen be her minions.
    The theology is the same as "Iglesia ni Cristo", who try to claim salvation is only by an imagined unbroken succession to the early true church, specifically from the apostle Peter. True salvation is by grace through faith, repentance from one's sin and acceptance of the gospel as taught in the New Testament, not membership of a huge, worldwide, corrupt religious organization, claiming the sole way to salvation is through membership, indulgence$$$ and adherence to its made up rules and regulations. Search Leo 1,the first to declare primacy over the whole Christendom. Your "church" now is steeped in idolatry. It is a pagan religion like Hinduism, just with "Christian" usages of words and names. Read the Bible for yourself and you will see.

    2 Timothy 2:15-16
    Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

    RO'MAN, a. [L. Romanus, from Roma, the principal city of the Romans in Italy. Rome is the oriental name Ramah, elevated, that is, a hill; for fortresses and towns were often placed on hills for security; Heb. to be high, to raise.]

    -Pertaining to Rome, or to the Roman people.
    -Romish; popish; professing the religion of the pope.
    Roman catholic, as an adjective, denoting the religion professed by the people of Rome and of Italy, at the head of which is the pope or bishop of Rome; as a noun, one who adheres to the papal religion.

    THE NAME ALONE SAYS IT ALL: ERROR!

    The name "Roman" and "Catholic" is a clear contradiction in and of itself. They have opposite meanings "ONLY OF THIS ONE CITY+ EVERYWHERE" at the same time.

    RO'MAN, n.

    -A native of Rome.
    -A citizen of Rome; one enjoying the privileges of a Roman citizen.
    -One of the Christian churches at Rome to which Paul addressed an epistle, consisting of converts from Judaism or paganism.

    CATHOLIC, a.

    -Universal or general; as the Catholic church. Originally this epithet was given to the Christian church in general, but is now appropriated to the Romish church, and in strictness there is no Catholic church, or universal Christian communion. The epithet is sometimes set in opposition to heretic, sectary or schismatic.
    -Liberal; not narrow minded, partial or bigoted; as a catholic man.
    -Liberal; as catholic principles.
    Catholic epistles, the epistles of the apostles which are addressed to all the faithful, and not to a particular church.

    CATHOLIC, n. A papist.

    According to the dictionary definition, the terms "Roman" and "Catholic" are contradictions in terms, one meaning "From Rome" and the other meaning "Universal", or worldwide, earthly, from all over the earth, as in not from Rome, but from everywhere.

    The Roman Catholic Church may often be herein referred to as the "R.C.C."

    The following section will contain a list of the major false doctrinal lies deliberately invented and taught by the R.C.C. for the last 1,600 plus years, since she was started under Constantine in 312 A.D. Each will be compared to what the Word of God states on that doctrine, the Final Written Authority above the R.C.C. on all matters of faith and practice, which they spent 1,000 years trying to destroy by torturing and murdering all carriers and translators they could find. And, yet, it survived them all and is perfectly preserved for us today, as prophesied.

    THE BIGGEST LIE: FINAL AUTHORITY

    - "We gave you the Bible", for which they can give no evidence and made martyrs of all who DID give us that Bible.

    2 Timothy 3:16-17
    All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

    - "You cannot interpret the Bible without the authority of "The Magisterium"" (R.C.C. hierarchy)
    This is the same for all other cults also. This is an indication for any cult that it is a cult. There are no exceptions to this. The above verse and hundreds, thousands of others tells us that God gave us a mind to know what He says to us through careful study and no one IN the Scriptures needed a "Mother Church" to them them what God meant or said

    2 Timothy 2:15-16
    Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness

    Deuteronomy 8:3
    And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

    Jesus Himself taught us that we can live by that Word of God, not "but by every word of God-that is, according only to the interpretation of the Roman Catholic Magisterium". Jesus said "a man shall not live by bread alone", not "the rabbi, the priest, a pope, a bishop, a cardinal" or "only a man who follows one of these above reading it for themselves. No, it says and means a man, any man, young or old, but mankind. It means you and means me; it means us.

    Luke 4:4
    And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

    Matthew 4:4
    But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

    Psalms 1:1-2
    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

    The man, not "the rabbi, the priest, a pope, a bishop, a cardinal". No, the man, any man, mankind

    Psalms 119:9-11
    BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

    A young man, not "the rabbi, the priest, a pope, a bishop, a cardinal". No, the man, any man, mankind.

    -God wants His Word of God available to ALL, not just "the self-declared elitist initiate" who declare themselves the Final Authority
    -One must understand that anyone who makes themself the Final Authority cannot be, by default of that claim itself. They are automatically eliminated by that claim they make. Only God Himself can declare Himself the Final Authority on anything.

    THEIR DARK HISTORY

    When the Caesars lost their powers to rule the Roman empire, the popes were there to replace them, filling in and ruling over even more territory with more power. They did this in the Dark Ages, even more ruthlessly than the Caesars did. They invented or used ones in existence cruel tortures such as drawing and quartering, burning at the stake, the racks, the iron maidens (which was simply a standing, upright coffin lined with spikes designed to pierce a body without killing instantly, but slowly bleeding them out to the delight of the R.C.C. priests watching. Also used were the breaking wheel which had head and hands in stocks bludgeoning them in public for all to witness as a warning. Also there was the Thumbscrew, the "Heretick's Fork", pointed metal spike placed between the chin and chest to make sure they died either of lack of sleep or piercing themselves through to kill themselves. Add to that the Spanish Chair, the Brazen Bull (fire involved), water torture. The Pear of Anguish was a device placed into any outward body hole and then slowly expanded to torture them to death.

    These were and are R.C.C. behaviors in all its glory, now not needed at all as much, but used if they want to (they have the power and self-declared right), because they have gained power and are slowly wearing down resistance by subtlety, lying, deceit, feigning Christianity, making deals with the devil in and behind all religions worldwide.

    The R.C.C. was the one who invented the "property tax" and confiscated all of those they bankrupted with a bad economy, then by stealing their homes, land to increase their own territory, control, power and wealth.

    THE WOMAN RIDES THE BEAST

    One thing that the R.C.C. did was pollute God's Word as much as they could. An early "bible" of theirs states that the WOMAN (their false "Mary" themselves, not Eve) and not Jesus Christ (the seed of the woman) would destroy Satan.

    Genesis 3:15 (KJV)
    And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

    Do you see that in that verse they falsely re-interpret against 2 Peter 1:20? No, it is not in there. The "It isthe Messiah to come, accomplished in the LORD Jesus Christ. Mary was a sinner in her own words.

    "However, the Church Fathers and the Douay Rheims translation reflect a Mariological interpretation, in which Mary is understood as the “New Eve,” bearing the Redeemer of the world via her “Fiat/yes” (Luke 1: 37), whereas the first Eve failed to trust and obey God:

    “I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.”

    Genesis 3:15 (KJV)
    And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

    This is a "yea, hath God said serpent lie, perpetuated then, today and into the future.

    Revelation 17:3
    He carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness; and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

    Jesus Christ said in John 18:36,
    Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

    Yet the popes have fought against Christ and His followers since it inception, bringing us into the Dark Ages with her cruel tortures of racks, scourges, iron maidens, corkscrews, drawings and quarterings by horses and teams of horses, many burnings at the stake, etc.

    -The popes fought like no others all over Europe and elsewhere to build a HUGE Kingdom, unrivaled, worldwide one of confiscated, repossessed. stolen property , trillions in gold and wealth, political influence, all the while claiming to be "The Bride of Christ"

    -They have been in bed with evil throughout her history
    -In recent times, they were aligned and supportive, even with money, of Mussolini, putting Mussolini into power, Pope Pious IX and his cardinals praising him as "A man chosen by God" and forbade Catholics to oppose him. They signed an accordance with him in 1929, which made Roman Catholicism the sole religion of Italy. In turn Mussolini gave the Vatican 750,000,000 lira and in cash and a billion in state bonds

    This just in:

    "Italy suspends defense agreement with Israel"

    No surprise there. The popes, along with Islam, hate Israel. Always have, always will-until Jesus returns and wipes them all out who do not repent and believe.

    Again, all fulfilled prophecy.

    The Vatican even helped Adolf Hitler in his lusty quest for power, using their money to start the Nazi Party. The Vatican made a similar concordat with Adolf Hitler as they did with Mussolini. For their loyalty, they received hundreds of millions of German marks from the Nazis. They worked even with Islam to murder Jews, as Mahmoud Abbas, who got his PhD, all of the time in denial of the Holocaust, along with Rahman Abdul Rauf al-Qudwa al-Husseini (a.k.a. Yasser Arafat), who learned his Islam and open hatred of Jews from his revered uncle, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin al-Husseini. This Muslim happily even worked with the pope and Hitler, along with Adolf Eichmann to slaughter six million Jews. Even today, the Muslims want to perpetuate their lies like the R.C.C. and say that Jesus "Jesus was the first Palestinian martyr" who was crucified for being a Muslim (??), so Jesus now has been thrown in with this bloodthirsty criminal gang. No, Jesus was a Jew, born uin Bethlehem.

    This is undeniably spiritual "fornication with the kings of the earth" as spelled out in Revelation chapters 12-17.

    -Jesus Christ not once, in any way, joined any forces with Caesar, nor encouraged His disciples and followers to do so either. In fact, He asked them to follow HIM and not them.

    THE COMMAND OF JESUS: FOLLOW ME

    Matthew 4:19
    And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

    John 13:36
    Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.

    Luke 9:23
    And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

    Matthew 16:24
    Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

    Jesus and the apostles taught us not to be of this world, like He was not of this world. He told us not to love this world's systems, governments, goods, money. Obey? Yes. Support their evil? Never!
    -All U.S. presidents in the last hundred or so years have also met with the pope and had political talks, agreements, etc .
    -Alexander Haig, Ronald Reagan's Secretary of State, said,

    "The Vatican information was absolutely better than ours in every respect.".

    He meant their spies, technology, etc.
    -The Vatican's White House Liasson Pio Laghi insisted that Americans

    "Listen to the Holy Father; we have two thousand years experience in this"

    That is, 1,700 years of political intrigue she is proud of being the clever master

    Supporting bloodshed with money and military is not what Jesus told us to do.

    Mikhail Gorbachev called the pope, "The highest spiritual authority on earth ". He continued, "Pope John Paul II played a major role ib the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe...the events in Eastern Europe might not have been possible without the presence of this pope, without the great role...which he knew how to play on the world scene."

    -No possible way for that praise to be thrust, heaped upon Jesus Christ or His apostles, disciples by such an atheistic mass murderer as Gorbachev, disciples who literally turned the world upside down with the Gospel"

    Acts 17:6-7
    And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also; Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.

    These were all martyred by that same worldly power (the Caesars) to do so, like the bloodthirsty popes, now combined with the Muslims to do the same to both Christians and Jews.

    It must be understood that, after the Caesars lost their power, eventually, the popes ruled in their place and now have even more world power, with empires connecting all parts, all religions, all givermnents, electronically, militarily, etc.


    -The pope John Paul met with Yasser Arafat
    -Pope Gregory XI in 1372, in "Coeni Domini"claimed papal dominion over the entire Christian world. This included both secular and religious power.
    -All of these popes "excommunicated" all who failed to obey these popes, and pay them their taxes, confiscating property, making them even today the largest wealthy body on earth and how they got their trillions in gold. Keeping power also by making martyrs of them cruelly with their evil intentions and inventions.
    -1568: Pope Pious V swore "this is to remain an eternal law"
    -Pope Alexander VI drew a north-south meridian down the map of that day and declared "in the Name of Christ, (Who "possessed nothing" on this earth but His torn robes at His Crucifixion) ,

    He "gave" the eastern side of that line, Africa, India and Asia to Portugal and, since Brazil sticks out to the west, it is why Brazil speaks Portuguese and not Spanish. He further gave the "newly discovered America" on the western side of that line to Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain, which is why Spanish is so prevalent in Mexico, Central, North and South America.

    This was all done without the authority from God, but taken and declared by Rome herself, and on the condition that all inhabitants join the Roman Catholic "church" and pay taxes to her and her "popes"
    -If you did not notice or know, all Central and South American countries are still "Catholic" countries.
    -The November 1, 1954" The "Second Vatican Council, Lumen gentium", declared,

    "the Catholic Church ceaselessly and efficaciously seeks for the return of all humanity and its good under Christ"

    That is, under the Vatican rule, power and control. That has kept that dominance to this day.
    -They continue empire building still
    -Pope Alexander II declared Harold, the lawful king of England, was a usurper, so he excommunicated him and gave the throne to William, Duke of Normandy, becoming William the Conqueror who killed Harold and was crowned in London on Christmas Day in 1066. He accepted the crown, "In the name of the Holy See."
    -Do you not "See" how these "popes" are evil yet?
    -All of this is a tiny amount of all of the other evil and wicked sins, acts of the Roman Catholic "Church" which is described in Revelation
    -A city on seven hills, mountains, called "Babylon" in her own words, which reigns over the kings of the earth, which committed spiritual fornication with the kings of the earth, drunk with the Blood of Martyrs, clothed in Scarlet, etc.
    -No other city can even come close to comparing to this abomination in God's Eyes
    - 1 Peter 5:13
    The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.

    -Find the PDF file online for "The Two Babylons" by Alexander Hislop and you will discover how Rome has been "Mystery Babylon" for thousands of years, copying everything it can from ancient Babylon.
    -Ancient Babylon's tower was designed and built "to reach heaven" and was the site of the world's first one world language, first one world religion

    Genesis 11: 1-9
    And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
    And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

    -There is nothing new under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9

    Ecclesiastes 1:9
    The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

    -Babylon Is The Code Name Of Rome, always has been and the people in the days when John wrote Revelation knew this full well, even though the R.C.C. did not yet even exist until three hundred years after.
    -John uses each time he writes in Revelation, "Babylon", he calls it either "Babylon The Great" or "that Great city Babylon"
    -Mystery is also part of their name, and their false doctrines are hidden from view in their "Mysterium"

    DANIEL'S VISION OF A STATUE, WORLD HISTORY: DANIEL 2

    Daniel 2:20-21
    Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

    It must be said that all of history is what God wills it to be and these earthly kingdoms He declares and He will one day destroy them for their wickedness when Jesus Christ returns to earth. The vision Daniel saw is those kingdoms from his day until that time. We are currently at the bottom of that image, near the toes. The vision Daniel saw and interpreted for King Nebuchadnezzar was from then until now, the latter days. He even told the King, Nebuchadnezzar, that God Himself set Nebuchadnezzar up in power. Then he told him about his eventual, humiliating downfall, which was fulfilled.

    If you read all of Daniel chapter four, written by King Nebuchadnezzar himself, Daniel 4:1-27, you will see that

    -Nebuchadnezzar has a dream of a tree, eventually hewn down
    -No one but Daniel can tell him the dream's interpretation
    -Daniel tells the king that his kingdom was given by God and that it is about to be taken from him
    -He also tells the king that God will humble him and make him eat grass as an ox and his hair would be like feathers, etc.
    -In a moment, God fulfilled this, humbling Nebuchadnezzar
    -This made him humble enough to give glory to God
    -God said it, then it happened, very quickly.

    Daniel 2:37
    Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.

    "LET ME TELL YOU..."

    Daniel 2:27-29
    Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king; But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these; As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.



    -Head of Gold-The then Babylonian Kingdom under Nebuchadnezzar, conquered by the Medo-Persians, who did not destroy Babylon (Babylon ruled from 606-539 B.C.), Babylon was the secondary capital
    -The next one down was silver, representing the Medo-Persian Empire-Cyrus, (of mixed parents, Persian and Mede) the "Persian Empire", who conquered, but did not destroy it, made Babylon its secondary capital. (539-332 B.C.) representing the Medo-Persian empire
    -The next section down was of Brass-representing the Greek Empire-Alexander the Great, who conquered the Persians (kingdom was later divided by four generals (July 356 – June 323 BC). His four generals divided it up after he died a young man, having had nothing left to conquer. This is the 400 silent year period, more or less.

    According to Josephus, Alexander was shown the book of Daniel's prophecy, presumably chapter 8, which described a mighty Greek king who would conquer the Persian Empire. He instead then proceeded to spare Jerusalem and pushed south, conquering his way into Egypt.
    -The next section down was of of Iron, representing the Roman Empire
    -This part is of two legs, representing two empires, one gone, the ancient Roman Empire, the one not conquered, never succeeded by any other, and the other being the revived Roman Empire-and that is today
    -Further these two legs represent a split of east and west, the east being Byzantium, the west being Rome
    -In 1,054 A.D., pope Leo IX excommunicated Michael I Cerularius, the patriarch of Constantinople, then a split between Roman Catholicism in the west, Eastern and Russian Orthodoxy in the east. In the 90s, the fighting was between the Serbians (Orthodox), Croatians (Catholics), Bosnians (Muslims) , fighting in Bosnia and Herzegovina
    -The next one down was both of iron and of clay, representing the Roman Empire as a divided kingdom. The ancient Roman Empire (68 B.C.)-was split up, crumbled from within never conquered, now being revived in the last days

    If all of this were not evil enough, in 1941, fascists (Ustaše) told the Serbian Orthodox believers "convert to Catholicism or die". They then slaughtered about one million Serbian Orthodox over time in some of the most sadistic and evil murders in history ever witnessed, all done with priests and bishops in military uniforms, right there, as eyewitnesses who blessed this mass murder.

    After the war, using the secret "ratlines", which is a military term for secret smuggling and escape routes, the Vatican smuggled many tens of thousands Nazi leaders to South America to hide, and that is where they captured Adolf Eichmann. The Nazis went first through the Alps to Italy to then be smuggled further to South America. The smuggling was greatly assisted by then Argentine President Juan Peron and a cohort, Argentine Cardinal Antonio Caggiano. This is where many Nazis hid after the war. Ante Pavelić, the head of the Ustaše, hid in the Vatican for two years disguised as a Catholic priest. He later wound up as the security advosir to Juan Peron, evil dictator of Argentina, (October 1895- 1 July 1974).

    -We are in those last days now and the popes have been very actively, for many decades. trying to unite all religions worldwide, claiming to be Christianity ever since it was stated under Constantine.

    see Roman Catholicism

    THE CONCLUSION OF THE INTERPRETATION OF THE IMAGE

    There can only be one conclusion from such a detailed image Nebuchadnezzar saw and God gave him, and fulfilled. Prophecy proves the existence of God. All of these kingdoms came to pass and the last one IS in fact being revived today under the popes of Rome. That is now recorded news for centuries, more and more fulfillment daily. They are intent, expressly in their own words, on several targets, goals which fulfill Daniel and Revelation, two companion books:

    -Absolute world domination
    -Uniting all religions
    -Bringing in their own earthly kingdom, represented by their official colors of scarlet and purple, exactly the colors

    Revelation 17:4
    And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:


    -This is why the popes are called, "vicars of Christ", vicar meaning "replacement"
    -330 A.D. Constantinople moved the capital to Istanbul in the east. He left the popes in charge of the west.
    -1,066 A.D. the pope split it again the east getting the west for Catholicism and the east for Russian orthodoxy. This is the part of the stature that has TWO legs and not one abdomen.

    THE FEET ARE BROKEN-WHAT HAPPENS TO A STATUE OF BROKEN FEET?

    THE REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE: THAT IS NOW

    Rome has this exact representation today and always has, of the woman in Revelation 17 riding the beast (who is the anti-Christ)

    POPISH POWER AND DOMINATION

    It must be understood that the popes in that day had overt power, visible to all, to rewrite maps and decide kingdoms. They have more poeer now, but it is covert, subtle like the serpent, showing itself when world leaders go "hat in hand" to the popes to meet and ask for things and bow down to him. This is recorded history, now with videos.

    Roman Catholic Claim

    Final Authority: The "Mother" Roman Catholic Church, the Pope, Ten Commandments-of course, changed by R.C.C. to hide their blatant idolatry- the Catechism, papal bulls, decrees and orders only by Roman Catholic Church, as well as only their interpretation of Scripture. Even when they make believe that the Scriptures are the Final Authority, what they mean by "The Scriptures" is the ONLY their deliberately corrupted R.C.C. "scriptures", interpreted by their leaders only, which helps them retain their self-proclaimed authority.

    Scripture/Christianity

    Final Authority: The Scriptures alone

    (Psalms 138:2 [KJV])
    I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

    One cannot place in men, and one knows the Name of God shall not be taken in vain. How much more is the WORD of God important TO God? This verse says it all. (2 Peter 1:20)
    Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

    (Proverbs 30:5-6)
    Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

    (Deuteronomy 8:3)
    And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

    (Matthew 4:4)
    But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

    (Luke 4:4)
    And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

    (Romans 14:5)
    One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

    (Acts 17:10-12)
    And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.

    In other words, we are to live our spiritual lives by the Scriptures only, not by anything that ANY church or "church" or "pope", or anyone else, says. The Scriptures are all we need and they say so. One does not just get to name themselves as the Final Authority in matters of God. Only God gets to, and there is no indication He did. He has no intention of doing so, being God.

    Isaiah 42:8
    I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

    We also are able to understand the Scriptures without the R.C.C.

    2 Timothy 3:15
    And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

    Roman Catholic Claim

    "The Scriptures are what we say they are, and they must include the "Apocrypha" and you must believe it has as much weight as God's Word-BECAUSE WE SAID SO!

    THE APOCRYPHA

    -Consists of 1 and 2 Esdras, the book of Tobit, the book of Judith, the "Rest" of Esther, the Wisdom of Solomon, the book of Sirach, (also titled Ecclesiasticus), the book of Baruch, The Letter of Jeremiah, Song of the Three Young Men, the book of Susanna, Bel and the Dragon, The Additions to Daniel, The Prayer of Manasseh, and 1 and 2 Maccabee
    -It was rejected both by Christians and Jews as not Scripture
    -It was only sandwiched betwwen the testaments for historical purpose and subsequently removed. Everyone was told it was not scripture
    -It is not ever quoted in the New Testament. Other real Old Testament books are not always quoted either, but that is up to God, not us, and that does not make the Apocrypha Scripture, and means it is not part of the Canon of Scripture
    -Josephus never even mentioned it, and the early Christian writers such as Origen, Cyril of Jerusalem, Athanasius, Jerome spoke out against the Apocrypha
    -The errors in it are obvious:

    -It only takes one, single, lonely error to disqualify the Apocrypha, whereas there are many
    -The use of magic (Tobit 6:5-7)
    -Forgiveness by works (Tobit 4:11, 12:9)
    -Money for the sins of the dead, as in R.C.C. indulgences (2 Maccabees 12:43)
    -Historical Error: Nebuchadnezzar was called the king of the Assyrians (Judith 1:5), but he was the king of the Babylonians
    -Historical Error: The Jews would be in captivity seven generations (Baruch 6:2), not seventy years()
    -This list does not include internal and external contradictions

    Scripture/Christianity

    The Scriptures

    -Sixty six books, 40 authors, no Apocrypha, no Vaticanus, no Sinaiticus, no Alexandrian text or influence, no Septuagint (LXX), or extra added anything
    -Translated in 1611 into English from other languages.
    -No versions
    -Only authorized translation
    -Only one with a solid heritage
    -Only one hated by R.C.C.
    -Only one men gave their lives for, murdered by the R.C.C.
    -The Apocrypha was indeed included in the first edition of the 1611 King James Bible, sandwiched between the testaments, but only for historical purposes of the 400 silent years, and it was not considered Scripture, was separated out and the people were told and knew that it was not the Scriptures
    -It was removed because of protests later. A copy of the original 1611 with the Apocrypha is still available for purchase online at various places

    Roman Catholic Claim:

    One must always pledge full, unequivocal, absolute and unquestioned allegiance to the R.C.C. -This would include all popes, all papal bulls, decrees, edicts, and their "version" of the Scriptures
    -This would include all of the "sacraments"
    -This would include any and all commands from a priest, nun, bishop, cardinal or any other authority of the R.C.C.
    -This would include any and all doctrines, opinions, however changing, contradictory to God or even themselves
    -This would include any and all things written in their "catechism", which can be and should be written , read and understood as "categorical schism" or "cateschism"
    -To do otherwise is anathema to them, and you can be excommunicated, branded as a wayward heretic, until you repent and return to what they claim to be, "the Holy Mother Church"

    Scripture/Christianity:

    Jesus commanded us to follow Him and Him alone.

    There are hundreds of verses in the New Testament, many more in the Old Testament, which clearly state that Jesus wants us to follow Him and only Him, and that people who were believers did just that. Not one time did Jesus stop anyone who genuinely wanted to follow Him or did follow Him. No mention is ever made of any future "popes" who demand people follow them at all, ever. Here are just some of those verses.

    Matthew 4:19-20
    And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

    (Matthew 4:22)
    And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

    (Matthew 4:25)
    And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

    (Matthew 8:1)
    When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

    (Matthew 8:22-23)
    But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

    (Matthew 9:9)
    And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

    (Matthew 16:24)
    Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

    (Matthew 19:21)
    Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

    (Mark 2:14)
    And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

    (Mark 8:34)
    And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

    (Mark 10:21)
    Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

    (Luke 5:27)
    And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.

    (Luke 9:23)
    And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

    (Luke 9:59)
    And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

    (Luke 18:22)
    Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

    (John 1:43)
    The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.

    (John 10:27)
    My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

    (John 12:26)
    If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

    (John 13:36)
    Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.

    (John 21:19)
    This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

    (John 5:39)
    Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

    (1 Corinthians 11:1-3)
    Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

    (Philippians 3:17)
    Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

    (1 Thessalonians 1:6)
    And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

    (1 Peter 2:21)
    For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

    (Revelation 14:4)
    These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

    FOLLOW GODLY MEN WHO FOLLOW GOD

    When two people or more walk single file down a path, they are following the leader. This is not the same as following Christ, who asks us to give up our entire lives to follow Him, not just walk down to the river or the store or to "Grandmother's House"!
    Following godly men who only follow Christ and His teaching means suffering, persecution, hardships in this life, and it means being discipled. Following ungodly men who follow themselves and their church is unscriptural and downright evil. Paul and all of the other apostles suffered greatly and bore it willingly, which is why they were examples to follow. But none of them expected the same allegiance to themselves as they did to Christ, as they pointed out that way only to Christ, not to themselves. It is called discipling, still done today. The R.C.C. is different, demanding an allegiance to "The Mother Church" (the R.C.C. is not your mother). They demand an unmerited, always faithful, unchallenging following, no matter what they say or do, or have done (with no apology) as though the R.C.C. represents God Himself on earth.

    (1 Corinthians 4:16)
    Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

    1 Corinthians 11:1
    Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

    (Philippians 3:17)
    Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

    (1 Thessalonians 1:6)
    And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

    (2 Thessalonians 3:7)
    For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

    (2 Thessalonians 3:9)
    Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

    (Hebrews 6:12)
    That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

    (Hebrews 13:7)
    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.

    The Bereans

    (Acts 17:11)
    These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

    (Galatians 1:8-9)
    But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

    Roman Catholic Claim:

    "Mary stands at the right hand of her only begotten Son"

    When one enters into pretty much any Catholic church anywhere on earth, they often see an image of "Our Lady" (the R.C.C. "Mary") on the left side of the Jesus and another image of "St. Joseph" on the right side. In an effort to APPEAR to b biblical, the R.C.C. claims that this is from the Old Testament tradition of, from the perspective of the the king's mother to be on the king's left and the king's father on the right side of the king."

    This is clearly how "Mary" replaces Jesus as the Saviour in the minds of catholics:

    JESUS AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD

    To add to that from Scrupture only, who stands at HIS left Hand and HIS right Hand is determined by God and Jesus did not declare it. By the same "eligibility" claimed by the R.C.C., you and I can claim WE sit there when we die. If Mary and Joseph were them, that sort of important thing would have been stated and recorded in Scripture. But ,like nearly all of the R.C.C. claims and practices, it is not, making it a false claim, rank heresy. Jesus Christ the Messiah of Israel sits at the Right Hand of God, not any person Who is not Jesus Christ.

    Matthew 20:23
    And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

    Matthew 22:44
    The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

    Matthew 26:64
    Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

    Luke 20:42
    And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

    Luke 22:69
    Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.

    Mark 16:19
    So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

    Romans 8:34
    Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

    Ephesians 1:20
    Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

    Psalms 110:1
    (A Psalm of David.) The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

    Acts 2:24-25
    Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

    Acts 2:34
    For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

    Colossians 3:1
    If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

    Hebrews 1:13
    But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

    1 Peter 3:22
    Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

    Important to note here: No mention of Mary or Joseph sitting on His right Hand or His left. Kind of an important detail for the R.C.C. to call Mary and Joseph to be the ones who sit there now, when God is the One Who determines that and somehow left that out of His Word that they claim they are above. Also, the answer to the question posed in Hebrews 1:13 above is "none". So, if God asked no angels such as Michael or Gabriel to sit on His right hand or on His left hand, then he most certainly did not askm invite, request,command or even allow Mary and Joseph!

    Lastly, Jesus STOOD UP to receive Stephen, not Mary or Joseph when Stephen was martyred, as recorded in Acts:

    Acts 7:55
    But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

    This does not make a queen mother "the Queen of Heaven". they further claim along this line,

    "Pope Pius X confirmed this R.C.c. tradition in his edict called "Ad Diem Illum Laetissimum", dcmaiming and declaring that “Mary is seated at the right hand of her Son”
    Along with this tradition, it is also a tradition to call the left side of the churches “gospel side”. Mary, according to their tradition, is called "The New Eve", a title made up by the R.C.C. and found no where in God's Word, nor would God call her that. They further falsely claim that their "Mary" played a key role in our Salvation." .

    In Scripture, we have:

    1 Corinthians 15:45:
    And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

    So we see a first Adam who fell, the last Adam Who saved us from that fall by offering grace through His Blood shed on the Cross for us, in our stead.

    One can never escape the worship of "Mary" as "the Queen of Heaven", called that by all popes for hundreds of years. She is the one who claims to "sit as a queen and am no widow of Revelation" whose "church" this Mystery Babylon and mother of harlots in Revelation will be utterly destroyed by Jesus Christ at His Second Coming. This is undeniable and even they today do not ever deny that this is what they claim and who they are. They rely on that and Roman Catholics are not allowed to even question it.

    Roman Catholic Claim:

    The "Ten Commandments" are as the R.C.C. states them

    As will be clearly shown here, the commandment not to make graven images and idols is removed, so that they can make statues to "saints", statues to pagan gods, gold crosses, marble and granite angels, etc. without violating their "Ten Commandments" which are not God's Ten Commandments. This removal of the second would be easily detectable if they did not alter the last one by splitting it into two commandments, making one extra to leave it at ten, thereby making it appear unaltered.

    Scripture/Christianity

    (Exodus 34:28)
    And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

    (Deuteronomy 4:13)
    And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

    (Deuteronomy 10:4)
    And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me.

    Roman Catholic Claim:

    The Pope is Infallible When He Speaks Ex Cathedra

    Scripture/Christianity

    All men are liars, sinners, no exceptions

    (Romans 3:4)
    God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

    (Romans 3:23)
    For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

    (Isaiah 53:6)
    All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

    (Romans 5:8)
    But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

    (Jeremiah 17:9)
    The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

    THE PROBLEM OF PETER

    Roman Catholic Claim

    The Pope is the head of the Church, in unbroken succession from Peter

    Scripture/Christianity

    Jesus Christ is the ONLY Head of the body of Christ, the Church

    It must be noted that, if Peter were ever a pope at all, both he and Jesus would have certainly told us such an important thing if Jesus wanted us to follow Peter and not Himself, the LORD.

    (1 Peter 2:6-7)
    Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner

    (Matthew 21:42)
    Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

    (Acts 4:10-11)
    Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

    (Ephesians 1:20-22)
    Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

    (Ephesians 5:23-24)
    For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

    (1 Corinthians 3:11)
    For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

    (Colossians 1:18)
    And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

    The Strange Case of Peter "The Rock" and Satan

    (Matthew 16:13-21)
    When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
    And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
    Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

    Knowing that the context of any one word or verse of Scripture determines its meaning, we can see an opportunity to both take a verse out of its context and deliberately misinterpret it for personal gain here"

    -Jesus asks the disciples if the people know who He is
    -They say what the people say he is, not what they believe
    -Jesus then asks it again, directing the question this time to them, not the people
    -Peter speaks up, saying Jesus is the Messiah
    -Jesus takes this confession and says that this confession of who He is is going to be the foundation of the Church
    -The entire context of Scripture demands this meaning for the verse
    -The R.C.C. takes the verse out of context and uses it to say Peter is the rock (he is called a stone, not a rock)upon which the church would be built, replacing Jesus.
    -This is why the popes have always called themselves the "vicar" of Christ, which means replacement
    -The Scriptures call any vicar an antichrist, as in the popes
    -Minutes later, Jesus severely rebukes out Peter, saying, "Get thee behind me Satan"!, the worst rebuke He is recorded calling anyone, above the Pharisees and Sadducees

    God is THE TRUE ROCK

    "Proof is all there just look at the succession of popes leading back to Peter it's on record.. "

    (Exodus 17:6)
    Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

    And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:

    (Deuteronomy 32:13)
    He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;

    (Deuteronomy 32:15)
    ¶ But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

    (Deuteronomy 32:18)
    Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

    (Deuteronomy 32:30)
    How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?

    (Deuteronomy 32:31)
    For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

    (Deuteronomy 32:37)
    And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,

    (Judges 6:21)
    ¶ Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.

    And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.

    (Isaiah 51:1)
    Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

    The Rock of Living Waters

    (Exodus 17:6)
    Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

    Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.

    (Numbers 20:10)
    And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?

    (Numbers 20:11)

    (Nehemiah 9:15)

    Christ the Rock as Foundational to the House of God

    (Matthew 7:24-25)
    Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

    (Luke 6:48)
    He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

    ______________________

    (2 Thessalonians 2:3)
    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; 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.

    Scripture/Christianity

    No other apostle looked at Peter as the head of anything

    (Luke 22:24-26)
    ¶ And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve
    .

    This in no way represents any R.C.C. official, certainly not the pope, who lives in luxury in a massive palace, hundreds of servants, surrounded by high walls, collecting money from every corner of the world to enrich themselves with gold and trillions of dollars.

    John 15:19
    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.

    Scripture/Christianity

    Peter's Name Cephas means "Stone", not "Rock"

    (John 1:42)
    And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

    Peter HIMSELF Called Jesus the Rock Upon Which the Church Was Founded

    Not only that, but Peter also called us Christians "lively stones".

    (1 Peter 2:3-8)
    If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
    Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

    (1 Corinthians 10:1)
    Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

    As did the Apostle Paul

    (Ephesians 1:20-22)
    Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

    Scripture/Christianity

    Jesus Rebuked Peter for his unbelief of God's Plan and rejection of the death of the Messiah

    (Matthew 16:23)
    But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

    (Mark 8:33)
    But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

    Peter: No Evidence He Was Ever Even In Rome

    From all of church recorded history and archaeology, there is not one indication that Peter was ever in Rome, and recorded history does say that he was killed, being crucified upside down........in JERUSALEM.

    (1 Peter 5:13)
    The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.

    Galatians 1:18)
    Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.

    Roman Catholic Claim:

    Peter is Pope because Jesus gave him the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven

    (Matthew 16:19)
    And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven
    : and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

    This verse is wrested from Scripture out of its context, twisted and tortured in order to make the case that Peter was a pope.

    God also gave the keys to the kingdom to Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:

    (Isaiah 22:20-22)
    And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah: And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

    Scripture/Christianity

    (Matthew 18:18)
    Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven
    .

    Here we see that the exact same powers were given to the other apostles...

    (Revelation 1:18)
    I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death
    .

    Here we see that Jesus has the keys, not Peter. Jesus Christ living in the believers makes them also have the keys to the Kingdom, as we are given the Gospel to preach to the lost is all that it means, nothing more.

    Paul Rebuked Peter Openly, Personally

    (Galatians 2:11-17)
    But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

    Paul Never Mentions Peter In Romans Salutation

    (Romans 16:1)
    I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea: That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also. Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
    Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us. Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord. Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved. Salute Apelles approved in Christ.
    Salute them which are of Aristobulus' household. Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord. Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord. Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with them. Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them. Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.

    About thirty parties, as in individuals and groups...and NO MENTION OF THE IMAGINED "POPE" PETER!

    In fact, if one was "of Peter the Pope", then Paul said they also "were of Paul, the pope". In fact, in Galatians 2:9, it would seem that James and John were also "popes" as Paul called them "pillars" of the Church as well as Peter (Cephas).

    (Galatians 2:9)
    And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

    (1 Corinthians 1:12)
    Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

    (1 Corinthians 3:22)
    Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

    (1 Corinthians 9:5)
    Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

    Here we see Peter listed in second place and third place...not preeminent, not a pope. Today with the arrogance and intense pride of the popes, this would never happen! Peter was a man. In 1 Corinthians chapter nine and verse five, Paul even lists the apostles, then the brethren, then Peter dead last! This is a pope?

    Peter Was a Married Man

    (1 Corinthians 9:5)
    Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

    (Matthew 8:14)
    And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.

    (Mark 1:30)
    But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.

    (Luke 4:38)
    And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.

    Peter Lorded Over No One

    (1 Peter 5:1-4)
    The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
    Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

    THE "POPES" LIST

    History shows a complete confusion of the list of Popes, each contradicting the other. The fact is, the Roman Catholic Religion started under Constantine, as he needed to get the Christians on his side for war, so he formed an institutional, formal, governmental religious system, the Roman Catholic Church.

    (1 Peter 5:1)
    The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

    Paul told people three times to follow him as he followed Christ, not Peter

    (1 Corinthians 4:16)
    Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

    (1 Corinthians 11:1)
    Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

    (Philippians 3:17)
    Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

    REVELATION 17: THE WHORE

    Revelation Chapter 17

    Mystery Babylon: The Religious Side

    Genesis 11:4
    And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

    It was a CITY and a TOWER, not a TOWER and a CITY or just a tower in a city. Ancient Babylon had a tower, but it was not just a tower, but they were building a city to reach heaven". This is the ultimate works salvation of stairs, steps to climb into heaven. This was the first One World Religion started by Nimrod and that spirit of controlling the whole earth continues today, alive and well in Roman Catholicism, Vatican City and the popes. Whether they build a tower there or now, they have to be the city.

    "LET ME TELL YOU..."

    Daniel 2:27-29
    Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king; But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these; As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.

    -Head of Gold-The then Babylonian Kingdom under Nebuchadnezzar, conquered by the Medo-Persians, who did not destroy Babylon (Babylon ruled from 606-539 B.C.), Babylon was the secondary capital
    -The next one down was silver, representing the Medo-Persian Empire-Cyrus, (of mixed parents, Persian and Mede) the "Persian Empire", who conquered, but did not destroy it, made Babylon its secondary capital. (539-332 B.C.) representing the Medo-Persian empire
    -The next section down was of Brass-representing the Greek Empire-Alexander the Great, who conquered the Persians (kingdom was later divided by four generals (20/21 July 356 – 10/11 June 323 BC). His four generals divided it up after he died a young man, having had nothing left to conquer. This is the 400 silent year period, more or less. According to Josephus, Alexander was shown the book of Daniel's prophecy, presumably chapter 8, which described a mighty Greek king who would conquer the Persian Empire. He then proceeded to spare Jerusalem and pushed south, conquering his way into Egypt.
    -The next section down was of of Iron, representing the Roman Empire

    -This part is of two legs, representing two empires, one gone, the ancient Roman Empire, the one not conquered, never succeeded by any other, andthe other the revived Roman Empire- and that is today

    -Further these two legs represent a split of east and west, the east being Byzantium, the west being Rome
    -In 1,054 A.D., pope Leo IX excommunicated Michael I Cerularius, the patriarch of Constantople, then a split between Roman Catholicism in the west, Eastern and Russian Orthodoxy in the east. In the 90s, the fighting was between the Serbians (Orthodox), Croatians (Catholics), Bosnians (Muslims) , fighting in Bosnia and Herzegovina
    -The next one down was both of iron and of clay, representing the Roman Empire as a divided kingdom. The ancient Roman Empire (68 B.C.)-was split up, crumbled from within never conquered, now being revived in the last days

    As an aside, in 1941, fascists (Ustaše) told the Serbian Orthodox believers "convert to Catholicism or die". They then slaughtered about one million Serbian Orthodox over time in some of the most sadistic and evil murders in history ever witnessed, all done with priests and bishops in military uniforms, right there, as witnesses who blessed this mass murder.

    After the war, using the secret "ratlines", which is a military term for secret smuggling and escape routes, and the Vatican smuggled many tens of thousands Nazi leaders to South America to hide, and that is where they captured Adolf Eichmann. They Nazis went first through the Alps to Italy to then be smuggled further to South America. The smuggling was greatly assisted by then Argentine President Juan Peron and a cohort, Argentine Cardinal Antonio Caggiano. This is where many Nazis hid after the war. Ante Pavelić, the head of the Ustaše, hid in the Vatican for two years disguised as a Catholic priest. He later wound up as the security advosir to Juan Peron, evil dictator of Argentina, (October 1895- 1 July 1974).

    -We are in those last days now and the popes have been very actively, for many decades. trying to unite all religions worldwide, claiming to be Christianity since it was stated under Constantine.

    (Revelation 17:1 )
    And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

    -Israel committed spiritual idolatry, but it is not possible for this to be Israel
    -The many waters are many peoples, two billion plus people worldwide (v. 15). Now add the leaders of all of the world and that is six billion plus.
    -The Gentiles committed spiritual idolatry, but this is not the Gentiles
    -The True Churches have in part always committed spiritual idolatry, but this is not the true Church
    -The entire description and context can only make it mean one thing: Rome and Romanism.

    WHORE, n. Hore. [G. The correct orthography is hore.] A harlot; a courtesan; a concubine; a prostitute.
    WHORE, v.i. [supra.] To have unlawful sexual commerce; to practice lewdness.
    WHORE, v.t. To corrupt by lewd intercourse. [Little used.]

    SEE A WOMAN RIDES THE BEAST

    SEE GLOBAL PEACE AND THE RISE OF THE ANTI-CHRIST

    1. City States. Did the world wars, revolutions and big events of human history happen naturally, or coincidentally, or were they calculated and pre-planned? If they were pre planned, who planned them?

    The answer to this question can be found within the boundaries of 3 of the worlds most powerful cities. Those 3 cities belong to no nation and pay no taxes. They are
    Washington's District of Columbia, which is not part of the City of Washington or the US. The inner city of London, which is not part of London or England, and Vatican City, which is not part of Rome or Italy.

    These cities, called City States, have their own independent flag, their own separate laws and their own separate identity.

    2. Vatican City
    Gracing the walls of St Peter's Basilica is the Vatican-approved image of God, depicted as an angry bearded man in the sky, and painted by Michael Angelo. Cruel/violent images of God's tortured son, suffering, bleeding and dying with thorns gouged through his skull/nails pounded through his feet and hands are on display throughout the Vatican. These images serve as reminders that God allowed his son to be tortured and killed to save the souls of human beings who are all born sinners.

    The Vatican rules over approximately 2 billion of the worlds 6.2 billion people. The colossal wealth of the Vatican includes enormous investments with the Rothschilds in Britain, France, USA, with giant oil and weapons corporations like Shell and General Electric. The Vatican's solid gold bullion, worth trillions, is stored with the Rothschild controlled Bank of England and the US Federal Reserve Bank.

    The Catholic Church is the biggest financial power, wealth accumulator and property owner in existence, possessing more material wealth than any bank, corporation, giant trust or government anywhere on the globe.

    While 2/3 of the world earns less than $2 a day and 1/5 of the world is underfed or starving to death, the Vatican hoards the world's wealth, profits from it on the stock market and at the same time preaches about giving.

    So how did the Vatican accumulate all that wealth over the millennia? One method was to put a price tag on sin. Many bishops and popes actively marketed guilt, sin and fear for profit, by selling indulgences. Worshippers were encouraged to pre-pay for sins they hadn't yet committed and get pardoned ahead of time. Those who didn't pay-up risked eternal damnation. Another method was to get wealthy land owners to hand-over their land/fortune to the church on their death bed, in exchange for a blessing which would supposedly enable them to go to heaven.

    Pope Leo the fifth rebuilt St Peter's Basilica, by selling "tickets" out of hell and "tickets" to heaven.

    During the dark ages, the Catholic Church not only hoarded the wealth they collected from the poor, but they hoarded knowledge. They kept the masses ignorant and in the dark by denying them a basic education. They also prohibited anyone from reading or even possessing a Bible, under pain of death.

    Between 1095-1291 AD the Pope launched 7 blood baths called the Christian Crusades, torturing, murdering, beheading and mass murdering hundreds of thousands of Muslims and Jews in the name of God. The Pope's brutal soldiers were called Knights Templar or Knights of the Temple of Solomon and evolved into today's secretive brotherhood called the Freemasons.

    Between 1450-1700 AD the Catholic Church followed up their holy terror with the inquisition. Based on rumours of practicing witchcraft, the Catholic Church hunted down, tortured and burned alive 10's of 1000's of innocent women at the stake.

    During WWII the Vatican was criticized for supporting Hitler and his Nazi regime. To this day, the Vatican is still under investigation for plundering Nazi gold from the Swiss bank accounts of Jewish holocaust victims.

    Over the past 5 decades more than 1,500 priests and bishops have been identified in the sexual assault of tens of thousands of boys and girls in their trusting congregations and orphanages.

    Why is the filthy rich institution preaching spiritual values of poverty and chastity while cardinals, bishops and priests cover-up their crimes of sexual abuse? Why has the church fought and resisted the compensation claims of their sexually, emotionally and spiritually traumatised victims?

    3. The City of London.
    Like Vatican city, London's inner city is also a privately owned corporation or city state, located right in the middle of greater London. It became a sovereign state in 1694 when King William III of Orange privatised and turned the Bank of England over to the bankers. Today, the City State of London is the world's financial power centre and the wealthiest square mile on the face of the Earth. It houses the Rothschild controlled Bank of England, Lloyds of London, the London stock exchange, all British banks, the branch offices of 385 foreign banks and 70 US banks. It has its own courts, its own laws, its own flag and its own police force. It is not part of greater London, or England, or the British Commonwealth and pays no taxes. The City State of London houses Fleet Street's newspaper and publishing monopolies. It is also the headquarters for world wide English Freemasonry and headquarters for the world wide money cartel known as The Crown.

    Contrary to popular belief, The Crown is not the Royal Family or the British Monarch. The Crown is the private corporate City State of London. It has a council of 12 members who rule the corporation under a mayor, called the Lord Mayor. The Lord mayor and his 12 member council serves as proxies or representatives who sit-in for13 of the worlds wealthiest, most powerful banking families, including the Rothschild family, the Warburg family, the Oppenheimer family and the Schiff family. These families and their descendants run the Crown Corporation of London.

    The Crown Corporation holds the title to world wide Crown land in Crown colonies like Canada, Australia and New Zealand. British parliament and the British prime minister serve as a public front for the hidden power of these ruling crown families.

    4. The District of Columbia.
    Like the City States of London and the Vatican, a third city state was officially created in 1982. That city state is called the District of Columbia and is located on 10sq miles of land in the heart of Washington. The District of Columbia flies its own flag and has its own independent constitution.

    The constitution for the District of Columbia operates under a tyrannical Roman law known as Lex Fori, which bares no resemblance to the US Constitution. When Congress passed the act of 1871 it created a separate corporation known as THE UNITED STATES and corporate government for the District of Columbia. This treasonous act allowed the District of Columbia to operate as a corporation outside the original constitution of the United States and outside of the best interests of American Citizens.

    Although geographically separate, the city states of London, the Vatican and the District of Columbia are one interlocking empire called Empire of the City.

    The flag of Washington's district of Columbia has 3 red stars. One for each city state in the 3 city empire. This corporate empire of 3 city states controls the world economically, through London's inner city, militarily through the District of Columbia and spiritually through the Vatican.

    5. The U.S.A.- A Crown Colony.
    A sobering study of the signed treaties and charters between Britain and the US exposes a shocking truth. The US has always been and still is a British Crown colony.

    King James I was famous not for just translating the Bible into the King James version. But for signing the first charter of Virginia in 1606. That charter granted America's British forefathers a licence to settle and colonise America. The charter also guaranteed that future Kings/Queens of England would have sovereign authority over all citizens and colonised land in America, stolen from the Indians.

    After America declared its independence from Great Britain, the Treaty of 1783 was signed. That treaty specifically identifies the King of England as the Prince of the United States and contradicts the belief that America won the War of Independence.

    Although King George III of England gave up most of his claims over American colonies, he kept his right to continue receiving payment for his business venture of colonising America.

    If America had really won the War of Independence, they would never have agreed to pay debts and reparations to the King of England.

    America's blood soaked War of Independence against the British bankrupted America and turned its citizens into permanent debt slaves of the King. In the War of 1812, the British torched and burned to the ground the White House and all US government buildings, destroying ratification records of the US constitution.

    Most US citizens believe that the US is a country and the President is the most powerful man on earth. The US is not a country. It is a corporation. And the president is President of the Corporation of the United States. He and his elected officials work for the corporation, not for the American people. Since the US is a corporation, who owns the corporation of the United States?

    Like Canada and Australia whose leaders are Prime Ministers of the Queen and whose land is called Crown Land, the US is just another crown colony. Crown colonies are controlled by the Empire of the 3 City States.

    6. Obelisks
    At the centre of each city state is a towering phallic shaped stone monument called an obelisk that points skyward. In DC city state, the obelisk known as the Washington monument was dedicated to the Freemason George Washington by the Freemason Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia. 250 Masonic lodges financed the Washington obelisk monument, including the Knights Templar Masonic order.

    At the heart of London City State, is a 187 ton 69 foot tall Egyptian obelisk called Cleopatra's Needle. It was transported from Egypt and erected on the banks of the river Thames.

    In Vatican city, another Egyptian obelisk towers high above St Peter's square.

    Obelisks are phallic shaped monuments honouring the pagan sun god of ancient Egypt called Amen Ra. The spirit of this pagan god is said to reside within the obelisk

    (Revelation 17:2 )
    With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

    -The kings of the earth love their queen very much

    (Jeremiah 7:18 )
    The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

    THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN

    (Jeremiah 44:17-19 )
    But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?

    The Roman Catholic "church" calls Mary "The Queen of Heaven". They burn incense to her and claim that is Biblical, Christian. Most of the world falls for it which includes Christians who want to unite with that Whore in Revelation. So many problems with that old paganism from the days of Babylon and forward to today. They also call Mary the mother of Jesus "The fourth person in the Trinity!" (which makes it a "quaternity". There are several problems with this religious idea, this paganism

    Nov 4, 2025:

    Pope Leo Leo XIV changes the above to:

    "Mary, mother of Jesus and all believers, is not co-redeemer, Vatican says"

    further, later...

    In a release below, called "Mater Populi Fidelis”, or "MPF",
    "VATICAN CITY (CNS)-- While praising devotion to Mary, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith firmly rejected moves to formally proclaim Mary as "co-redemptrix" or "co-mediatrix."
    In a lengthy doctrinal note titled "Mater Populi Fidelis" ("Mother of the Faithful People of God"), the dicastery said the title co-redemptrix or co-redeemer "carries the risk of eclipsing the exclusive role of Jesus Christ" in salvation.
    And, regarding the title co-mediatrix or co-mediator, it said that Mary, "the first redeemed, could not have been the mediatrix of the grace that she herself received."
    However, it said, the title may be used when it does not cast doubt on "the unique mediation of Jesus Christ, true God and true man."
    “Mater Populi Fidelis”, MPF, (“Mother of the Faithful People of God”) on Mary’s cooperation in the work of salvation, at the Jesuit headquarters in Rome Nov. 4, 2025.
    Pope Leo XIV approved the text Oct. 7 and ordered its publication, said the note, which was released Nov. 4. "

    ..."No longer to refer to Mary as the Co-Redemtrix, but rather "Mother of the Faithful" "

    According to leading Vatican scholar ,"This is not an absolute prohibition against the use of the words "Co-Mediatrix" and Co-Redemptrix", but will no longer be used in official documentsor in the liturgy. But if used in popular devotion, understanding its meaning. no one will be reprimanded for it. "

    God's Word calls Jerusalem above "the mother of us all". Not Mary who is dead.

    Galatians 4:26
    But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

    All THREE titles conferred on this imaginary "Mary" not found in God's Word "Co-Redemptrix", "Co-Mediatrix", "Mother of the Faithful" and even "Mother of God" are all abominations and rank, smelly heresy!

    One last abomination from a "pope", Francis in a tweet:
    "Mary is not only the bridge joining us to God; she is more. She is the road that God traveled to reaach us, and the road that we must travel to reach him."

    Roman Catholicism is an abomination in God's eyes, a stench in His nostrils!!!

    -Heaven has no queen!
    -God does not have a mother!
    -Salvation is only through the LORD Jesus Christ!

    Acts 4:12
    Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

    -This and all of her filth and abominations goes right back to pagan Israel and Judah as recorded here in Jeremiah 44
    -A Trinity is three and each One is a person Who is God and always was, always will be
    -Mary was the womb on earth God used only and that false worship of her because of this goes all of the way back to Babylon, the "Madonna and child"
    -God did many miracles with many people in Scripture and not a one was elevated to being a part of the Trinity. Even in our glorified bodies we will not be God, a part of God nor little gods.
    -Welcome to Laodicea, as this is the exact same thing happening in America, coast to coast, border to border
    -

    (Jeremiah 44:25 )
    Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.

    (Revelation 17:3 )
    So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

    -A Woman, the virgin, is the official symbol of the R.C.C (Madonna and Child, etc.)
    -A Woman rides the beast!
    -There are 101 ways she can blaspheme, from saints, to claims of absolute authority over God and His Word, to Mariolatry, perpetual virginity, etc.
    -The seven heads and ten horns will be explained by John in a few verses ahead of here
    -The woman very often, on coins, in statues, etc. is depicted with a chalice in her hand

    (Revelation 17:4 )
    And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

    - The official colors of Rome are purple and scarlet
    (Jeremiah 51:7 )
    Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD'S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.

    (Revelation 17:5 )
    And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

    -This is all of the mystery religions, the New Age, Islam, Roman Catholicism combined
    -Harlot........spiritual fornication
    -Abominations.....religious practices, murders, greed, power, Mariolatry, sacraments, idolatry
    -Nimrod started the mystery religions with his wife Tammuz (Genesis), Semiramis (called the Queen of Heaven in her day and after, until today) started the occult; all occultic practices on earth today can be traced back to Babylon
    -The Two Babylons: Alexander Hislop, free online.

    (Revelation 17:6 )
    And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

    -Over fifteen hundred years of murdering Christians and Jews in her bloodlust has emptied her cup has made her intoxicated
    -God, in the meantime, has filled His cup of wrather to pour upon her in vengeance and judgment

    (Revelation 17:7-8 )
    And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

    - The beast is the anti-Christ, the man from hell, bound to return there
    -The wonder comes from the power (Revelation 13:4), charisma (this verse), the false peace (Revelation 6:4), false miracles (Revelation 13:13, 2 Thessalonians 2:9)

    DANIEL'S VISION OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE: CHAPTER TWO

    See the entire study on Daniel chapter two for the context, the graphical representation of this image in Nebuchadnezzar's dream. Suffice it to say that history has proven undeniably that this last empire is a revived Roman empire and that is today. She is proud to even say it now, to act like it and publicly proud to be it, on video.

    Daniel 2:33-44:
    This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
    Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
    This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king. Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.
    And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
    And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

    DANIEL'S VISION OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE: CHAPTER SEVEN

    Daniel 7:1-8
    In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters. Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
    And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

    In Daniel chapter seven, Daniel was given a vision of four strange and different beasts coming out of the sea (the sea representing the population of the world), which were of a lion with eagle's wings (Babylon), a bear (representing the Medo-Persian empire), a leopard (the Grecian Empire), a dreadful beast with ten horns (the Roman empire). Red the entire chapter and you will see, this last beast, in context with the vision Daniel saw in chapter two, it is Rome, which is not conquered, but is two empires, one gone, one today which is being revived, having the characteristics of the first three beast of chapter seven, but never being gone forever the first time.

    Daniel 7:7
    After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

    Revelation 17:3
    So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

    In fact, the woman is given more word about her than the beast is here.

    (Daniel 7:20 )
    And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.

    (Daniel 7:24)
    And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

    (Revelation 17:9)
    And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

    RO'MAN, a. [L. Romanus, from Roma, the principal city of the Romans in Italy. Rome is the oriental name Ramah, elevated, that is, a hill; for fortresses and towns were often placed on hills for security; Heb. to be high, to raise.]

    - Add this to all of the other criteria, her history, methods, ways, this has to be the ancient Roman Empire, and Rome as its capital
    (Revelation 17:10 )
    And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
    -Seven kings in all of history, to God, as important
    -1: Egypt-FALLEN
    -2: Assyria-FALLEN
    -3: Babylon-FALLEN
    -4: Medo-Persia-FALLEN
    -5: Greece-FALLEN
    -6.: Rome I (first empire)-present in A.D. 90, time of writing
    -7: Rome II: Revived empire, with popes today replacing emperors, with worldwide power over all kings
    -8: (last, anti-Christ, the ELEVENTH horn)

    Again, as foretold, the ancient Roman Empire was not conquered, was nopw revived, now planning publicly to declare itself unashamedly that she is in control of all of the world's powers in every way-governmentally, religiously, militarily and has been since Emperor Constantine. She also is proud to be so. She will go al ittle while more and then Jesus will destroy her forever and reign forever. She alone possess every characteristic, every part of the description given of this last empire to control the world in every way...She is the fulfillment of the Woman Riding the Beast in Revelation

    (Revelation 17:11 )
    And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

    - The anti-Christ, and he will not last long
    (Revelation 17:12)
    And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

    - Daniel 2, 7, 1
    -No kingdom as yet, so we do not know who they are yet

    (Revelation 17:13)
    These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

    - Unity for the sake of unity never works with fallen man, and never will
    (Revelation 17:14)
    These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

    -We are coming with Him

    RETURNING WITH JESUS

    (Jude 1:14)
    And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

    CALLED TO BE SAINTS

    (Romans 1:7)
    To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

    (1 Corinthians 1:2)
    Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

    (2 Peter 1:10)
    Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

    CHOSEN

    (2 Peter 1:10 )
    Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

    (John 10:16)
    And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

    (Acts 13:46)
    Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

    (Revelation 17:15 )
    And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

    -This is the explanation of the term "waters" in Revelation 17:1, et al.

    (Revelation 17:16)
    And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

    - The very ten nations that loved and adored her will turn on her and destroy her
    -This is common when there is no longer a use for someone to eliminate them, but...

    (Revelation 17:17)
    For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

    -But, in this case, God is simply using them to finally destroy her for Him
    -They want the beast, not the whore, as their leader now
    (Revelation 17:18)
    And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

    - The following are the characteristics of the woman

    -Prostitute, promiscuous, unfaithful
    -Worldwide influence of the people (over the waters)
    -Riding the beast
    -Purple (RCC color), scarlet (RCC color), gold, immense wealth
    -Holding a golden cup ("communion" cup of their "mass", a false one filled with all sorts of abominations
    -This is Nimrod's Mystery Babylon, source of all occultic religions

    BABYLON VS. MYSTERY BABYLON

    Saddam Hussein tried to rebuild Babylon in Iraq and failed. He is dead. Mystery Babylon, Rome, is indeed built on the site of seven hills, and is known and proudly wants to be known as:

    -"The city of/on Seven Hills" ....Catholic Encyclopedia: "It is within the city of Rome, called the city of seven hills, that the entire area of Vatican State proper is now defined"........defined by themselves as:
    -Rome was secretly known in code word as "Babylon":
    "Babylon is a code word for Rome. It is used that way six times in the last book of the Bible and in extra-biblical works such as "Sibylline Oracles" (5.159f), the Apocalypse of Baruch (ii,i), Esdras (3;1) Eusebius Pamphilius in 303 wrote about Peter referred to Rome figuratively as Babylon."

    THE WOMAN

    John witnessed this and did not experience it yet on earth. He saw it in OUR time, not HIS.

    REVELATION CHAPTER 17: THE WOMAN RIDES THE BEAST

    And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
    And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
    And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
    And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
    These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
    And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

    -First, look at the power she wields and think of who qualifies with all of these credentials and you will see that it is unmistakable
    -Some claimed that Saddam Hussein was rebuilding Babylon to rule the world. He is dead; Babylon is not rebuilt
    -Mystery Babylon is there and has been for centuries in the form of the pagan Roman Catholicism and she definitely rules over world leaders, having them bow to kiss the feet of the popes
    -
    -

    THE TRUE, DARK HISTORY OF THE "POPES"

    It is undeniable that Rome and her pagan religion, Catholicism, and the popes are what John saw in Revelation, the whore, the woman who rides the beast. All of her bloody, prideful and murderous, ancient and recent history is a witness against her. For now, until Jesus returns and takes His purchased earth back which HE bought by His Blood at the Cross, the serpent was given the earth to rule over. Jesus never questions that when He was tempted by satan.

    (Matthew 4:8-11[KJV])
    Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

    Jesus never questions the enemy's temporary rule over the earth. And that is because Jesus WON at the Cross and His Resurrection and the enemy is about to find out soon how much he lost to Jesus Christ when He returns to take over the earth He purchased with His own Blood.

    Every Roman Catholic dreams of a revival of the ancient Roman Empire.

    Three books written by the late Dave Hunt have a lot of details on this sibject:

    A Woman Rides The Beast
    Global Peace and the Rise of the Anti-Christ
    Seduction of Christianity

    POPE Leo in 2025 again gathered the world leaders to Assisi to make a "Covenant of humanity" They had snake worshippers, fire worshippers, spiritists, animists, Zoroastrians, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, North American witch doctors, Dalai Lama, wherein and when the pope said,

    "We are all praying to the same god, and our prayers are creating a spiritual energy that is bring about a new climate of peace"

    This is the spiritual fornication of the woman riding the beast

    POPE Alexander III excommunicated the Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa, meaning "Frederick the Red Beard", Roman Emperor (1152-1190). When Frederick humbled himself with his face in the dirt, the pope put his heel on the emperor's neck, while the cardinals chanted,
    "thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder, the young lion and dragons shalt thou trample under foot!"

    POPE Alexander IV divided Europe with his control and power and gave to Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain the western side and the eastern side to Portugal. This is why we have Latin America today, with Brazil speaking Portuguese (she extends westward of that line he drew) and the rest Spanish-because of a pope and popes,

    Arafat visited the pope five times, a known murdering terrorist, received by the pope.

    The U.S. has an ambassador to the Vatican, today. When they visit they must both spouses, wear black. Only the pope can wear white. The world's leaders go seeking favors. When Mikhail Gorbachev wanted to use religion for his own purpose of his which was clandestine, he visited the pope in Rome, with no interpreters there. They were both Slavs and no one knows what they discussed in their brief ten to fifteen minute meeting. When they came out, Gorbachev introduced the pope to his wife Raisa as "the greatest spiritual leader in the world"

    This is the only city in the world, Vatican City in Rome, which has ambassadors to itself and rules over the kings of the earth, as it says in Revelation.

    The ambassadors to the U.S. come to Washington D.C.? Which earth does Washington D.C. rule over? Not this one. And Washington D.C. is not a religious city, but a governmental capital. Vatican City is a ROMAN CATHOLIC, spiritual and governmental city.

    Many cities sit on seven hills. But they do not control the kings of the earth like the popes.

    President Ronald Reagan and the pope were on the cover of Time magazine, entitled "Holy Alliance", under the pope's guise of eliminating Communism and "brig down that wall!". Like Reagan needed the pope to do this? Reagan gave credit to the pope and its intelligence agents outdid the CIA for doing this!

    This is fornication in Revelation, as no pope could go to Jesus and ask a thing from Him!!!

    Scarlet and purple are their official colors, the popes, the cardinals, etc. and these were the colors of the Roman Emperors and the robes they put on Jesus, purple and scarlet.

    Matthew 27:27-28
    Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

    John 19:2
    And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

    Tell me they are not trying to be the "Vicar (Replacement) of Christ"!

    POPE "INNOCENT" THE GUILTY

    In one day, this "pope killed more Christians than all of the Caesars and Roman emperors of Rime killed in all of their entire history!!! he slaughtered the ENTIRE city of Bessieres, France, some 60,000 innocent Albigensians, people, woman and children! He called it his crowning achievement of his papacy! The Crusades were toward Christians more than anyone, and include in that Jews.

    Add to that St. Bartholomew's Massacre, where up to 70,000 and upwards to around 200,000 Christians slaughtered as well!!! Talk about drunk with the blood of the saints! Babylon as a city has been in ruins 2.300 years. Rome;s "popes" have been busy shedding innocent blood for 1,700 years.

    A half of a million Hugenots fled Europe for these murders under intense persecution.

    THE PROBLEM OF MARY

    MARY DID NOT DIES FOR US. SHE DIED LIKE US

    Roman Catholic Claim

    Mary was/is "The Mother of God". They pray "Holy Mary, Mother of God"

    Scripture/Christianity

    God does not have a mother, and this is blatant blasphemy, rank heresy, as God is eternal and created all things, including Mary. Mary was the mother of Jesus Christ the man only, and the one who merely carried Him in her womb is all, as a vessel. She died like any other person. She is not even recorded at His Crucifixion, Resurrection!

    (Genesis 1:1)
    In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

    (Exodus 3:14)
    And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

    (Psalms 41:13)
    Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

    (Psalms 93:2)
    Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.

    (Micah 5:2)
    But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

    (Habakkuk 1:12)
    Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.

    (Luke 1:47-48)
    And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

    From a friend: "Mary was indeed a vessel used by the Creator. The phrase “full of grace” is used twice in the Bible. Once to describe Jesus, and the other to describe Stephen. But Mary is never described as “full of grace” in scripture, nor does it mean “sinless.”

    Only sinners need a Savior. Mary needed a Savior. Her lineage was all sinners, like yours; like mine. She was never sinless and even told us so:

    Read all of the chapter for the context:

    Luke 1:46-49
    And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.

    A sinless person does not need Jesus to be, nor call Jesus, their Saviour. But all are sinners, including Mary. She had a Saviour, just like us. She said so. Her lineage was not sinless, neither is ours. She was a carnal, fleshly, sinful vessel used by God is all, Just like us all. God used Balaam's ass in Numbers as a prophet. That makes it now a dead animal for thousands of years, not a sinless donkey. However God uses us to spread the Gospel, to disciple others, to pray for the list of requests, it is only by Jesus Jesus Christ that we are DECLARED righteous through HIS sacrifice on that Cross, by HIS Blood shed for us in our place. Mary did nothing to save us. Nor could she, nor did she die for us. She died like us.

    Add to that the penalty for sin and the only way out-IT IS NOT MARY!:

    Romans 6:23
    For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    (Luke 1:46-48)
    And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

    (John 2:4) Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

    Her command to us then as now is,

    "Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it."

    Whatsoever Jesus my earthly Son and my LORD, my God, saith unto you, do it, Not what I say, what He says.

    (Romans 3:23)
    For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

    (Luke 1:40)
    And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.

    (Luke 1:41)
    And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

    (Luke 1:42)
    And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

    (Luke 1:43-49)
    And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

    And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.

    -Mary was blessed, just like all believers are blessed, and being blessed is not "being the LORD"
    -She was blessed for believing in the LORD Jesus Christ, just like all believers are blessed, and being blessed is not "being the LORD"
    -Mary's soul magnified THE LORD, not herself, and therefore she cannot be the LORD
    -God is Mary's Saviour, therefore she cannot be the LORD
    -Mary was not from everlasting, eternity, she was created, born into this world, therefore she cannot be the LORD
    -She was in a lowly estate, therefore she cannot be the LORD
    -She called the LORD mighty for doing great things, therefore she cannot be the LORD
    -She said that the LORD was Holy, therefore she cannot be the LORD

    The End of the Catholic "Mary Mother of God"

    Isaiah 47:8-9
    Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.

    (Revelation 18:1)
    And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
    And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
    Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
    And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
    And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
    And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
    And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

    Roman Catholic Claim: Mary was/is a perpetual virgin

    (Genesis 3:1)
    Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

    When you cannot substantiate your belief from God's Word, you have your own interpretation, your own religion and, in your case, your own cult.

    -The serpent: "yea, hath God said that Mary was a virgin who later had other children?"
    -The Catholic Church "yea, God hath said that Mary had other children, but the popes and my Holy Mother Church say no, so I must believe them"

    -A typical brainwashed R.C.C. cult member will say to you, "The Bible never said Mary had other children, because God knew that one day the R.C.C. would come, and whatever we say you must live by, because we are above Scripture and will tell you what it is, what it says and what it means, and you need that"
    -So the whole entire R.C.C believed all that the popes said on every false doctrine they proclaimed..

    THE OPEN BLASPHEMY OF THE "HAIL MARY"

    Hail Mary,
    Full of Grace,
    The Lord is with thee.
    Blessed art thou among women,
    and blessed is the fruit
    of thy womb, Jesus.
    Holy Mary,
    Mother of God,
    pray for us sinners now,
    and at the hour of death.
    Amen.

    - This is not the Mary in Scripture, the earthly mother of Jesus the man - No one in Scripture is ever to pray in any way at any time nor address anyone or anything who is NOT GOD
    - No one in Scripture is ever to hail anyone or anything who is NOT GOD
    - She is not "full of grace" and can not extend grace to us, as she is dead
    - The LORD is with all of those in heaven, not just Mary
    - None of us is holy; we are all sinners, unholy in our flesh, because we can only be declared by God to be holy, spiritually only, when we accept Jesus Christ as our LORD and Saviour
    - She cannot pray for us, nor be with us now or at the hour of our death
    - This is a prayer to the dead. This is sorcery, witchcraft, wiccan, and this "Mary" cannot hear us, nor answer us, nor know what is going on with us, as that is not heaven. - When a Catholic goes to "confession", they are told to repeat this prayer over and over several times, "depending on the severity of the sin" which simply means according to what the "priest" commands

    (Matthew 6:7)
    But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

    (Matthew 6:8)
    Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

    (Luke 1:28-33)
    And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

    -To "Hail" means to greet (a salutation) or to wish one good health
    -"Full of Grace" is anyone saved, getting grace through Jesus Christ ONLY
    -"The LORD is with thee"........the LORD is with me also, so? God was and is with so many in Scripture from Genesis on
    -Blessed art thou among women...any woman saved is blessed, she was merely more blessed because she was a vessel to give birth to a man who is the Messiah. Leah and Rachel were blessed by having the twelve tribes of Israel, on earth still today
    and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus......yes He is blessed and the One who blesses us!
    -"Holy Mary" is not in the text and we are declared holy ONLY be believing ONLY in Jesus Christ, not Mary. This is blasphemy and heresy of the worst sort.
    -"Mother of God"..............God is eternal and has no mother. Mary was the mother of the man Jesus, not Jesus, Creator of the universe (and the creator of Mary)
    -Pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death........she cannot pray for us, as she is not our mediatrix or mediator, only Jesus Christ is

    HAIL, an exclamation, or rather a verb in the imperative mode, being the adjective hail, used as a verb. Hail, be well; be in health; health to you; a term of salutation, equivalent to L. salve, salvete. Hail, hail, brave friend.

    HAIL, n. A wish of health; a salutation. This word is sometimes used as a noun; as, the angel hail bestowed.

    Scripture/Christianity

    Mary: Virgin only until Jesus born, and then after had other children

    (Matthew 1:25)
    And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

    (Matthew 12:46-47)
    While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

    (Mark 6:3)
    Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

    (Mark 3:31-32)
    There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

    (Luke 8:20)
    And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

    (Acts 1:14)
    These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

    (Galatians 1:19)
    But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.

    Roman Catholic Claim: Mary is a Co-Mediatrix and has a hand in salvation

    "To think Mary is the “Spouse of the Holy Spirit,” “Queen of Heaven” and “co-Redemptrix” is akin to PAGANISM."
    -John Lee

    The "Queen of Heaven" was a pagan goddess The Catechism even says that "Mary was exalted by the LORD Jesus Christ as Queen over all things":

    Jeremiah 7:18
    The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

    Jeremiah 44:19-25
    And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men? Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying, The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind? So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
    Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day. Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt: Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.

    This exaltation happened at no time ever and, if of such importance, God would have told us in His Word. Mary was never called a queen, nor a queen of everything. Jesus would have presented her as such. They simply got this pagan idea from ancient Babylon, not God.

    This pagan "queen" is mention in Revelation eighteen: Revelation 18:7
    How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

    Scripture/Christianity

    Mary was a sinner, earthly, and had nothing to do with salvation

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

    (John 2:4-5)
    Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

    (Galatians 3:19)
    Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

    (Galatians 3:20)
    Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

    (1 Timothy 2:5)
    For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

    (Hebrews 8:6)
    But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

    (Hebrews 9:15)
    And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

    (Hebrews 12:24)
    And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

    (Acts 4:12)
    Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

    (Matthew 27:50)
    Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

    (Mark 15:38)
    And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

    (Luke 23:45)
    And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

    The rending of the veil of the temple in two from top to bottom means that God was now not going to need, heed, listen to any representatives as mediators between Himself and His children, like He did in the Old Testament/old Covenant. This veil being torn in two means direct access by anyone saved to the throne of the Father via Jesus Christ only.

    Roman Catholic Claim

    Mary MORE important than the LORD Jesus Christ

    Scripture/Christianity

    Mary the Mother of Jesus is mentioned a whopping 26 times in the New Testament, whereas Peter a mere hundred sixty times, Jesus Christ Himself 946 times, 900 times more than Mary, and not all mentions of Mary refer to the same Mary.


    (Matthew 1:16)
    And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

    -(Matthew 1:18)
    Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

    -(Matthew 1:20)
    But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

    -(Matthew 2:11)
    And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

    -(Matthew 13:55)
    Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

    -(Matthew 27:56)
    Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.

    -(Matthew 28:1)
    In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

    -(Mark 6:3)
    Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

    -(Mark 15:40)
    There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

    -(Mark 15:47)
    And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

    -(Mark 16:1)
    And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

    -(Luke 1:27)
    To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

    -(Luke 1:30)
    And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

    -(Luke 1:34)
    Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?

    -(Luke 1:38)
    And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

    -(Luke 1:39)
    And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;

    -(Luke 1:41)
    And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

    -(Luke 1:46)
    And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

    -(Luke 1:56)
    And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.

    -(Luke 2:5)
    To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

    -(Luke 2:16)
    And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

    -(Luke 2:19)
    But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

    -(Luke 2:34)
    And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;

    -(Luke 24:10)
    It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

    -(John 2:1)
    And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

    -(John 2:3)
    And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

    (Luke 1:43)
    And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

    -(John 19:25)
    Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

    -(Acts 1:14)
    These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

    -(Luke 1:48)
    For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

    The Usage/Reference to Mary in the New Testament

    -Mary thy wife
    -Mary his espoused wife
    -Mary the mother of James and Joses
    -Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome
    -Mary the mother of Joses
    -Mary the mother of James, and Salome
    -Mary the mother of James
    -The virgin's name was Mary
    -Referred to only as "Mary"
    -Referred to only as "Mary"
    -Referred to only as "Mary"
    -Referred to only as "Mary"
    -Referred to only as "Mary"
    -Referred to only as "Mary"
    -Referred to only as "Mary"
    -Referred to only as "Mary"
    -Referred to only as "Mary"
    -The Son of Mary
    -Mary his (Jesus's) mother
    -His (Jesus's) mother
    -Mary the mother of Jesus
    -Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ
    -His mother Mary
    -Mary his mother
    -His mother called Mary
    -The other Mary
    -She called herself His handmaiden

    So now, she is simply called by her name "Mary" nine times, "the mother of Jesus" in various ways seven times, the mother of the other children James, Joses, Salome, Simon, Judah, four times, Joseph's wife in various ways, five times, the "other Mary" once, the "the mother of my Lord" once, "and "the virgin" one time. And she even called herself His handmaiden once.

    Roman Catholic Claim

    Baptism is for infants, is done by sprinkling, and a sacrament that is part of our salvation

    Scripture/Christianity

    Baptism is by immersion and is a sign of being saved already, after salvation only. Not one single baby was "baptized" by sprinkling water on their head in all of Scripture. Baptism represents the death, burial and resurrection of the LORD Jesus Christ and one must believe first to be baptized, and sprinkling or pouring water on a babies head does not even come close to representing this. Only going under the water and coming back up out of the water does. Jesus Himself was never baptized as an infant, but as an example to us, as an adult by John the Baptist. Sprinkling babies in infant "baptism" makes them wet and indoctrinates them into the Roman Catholic religion, not saved.

    (Acts 8:35-39)
    Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

    (Romans 6:3-6)
    Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

    (Matthew 3:13-16)
    Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

    To top things off, the thief on the cross was never baptized...

    (Luke 23:42-43)
    And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

    Roman Catholic Claim


    During each and every mass, Jesus dies again on the cross

    This is blasphemy and rank heresy . To even imply in the slightest sense that any man can put Christ back on that Cross is a joke. It also means that a person believes that the Cross did not pay fully for sins, all sins, forever, which God says it did.

    Scripture/Christianity

    Jesus Christ: died once for all, and the Scriptures repeat this and are quite clear on this, so to suggest otherwise is blasphemy

    (1 Peter 3:18)
    For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

    Hebrews 9:26-28
    For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

    (Hebrews 9:12)
    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.

    Hebrews 9:12
    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.

    ONE TIME, for our salvation, forever!

    (Hebrews 10:10)
    By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

    (Hebrews 10:12)
    But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

    NOTE: ISN'T IT FUNNY THAT PETER HIMSELF IS SAYING THIS?

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

    (John 1:29)
    The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

    (Hebrews 10:10)
    By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

    Roman Catholic Claim

    Salvation is either through the seven sacraments or (now) universal

    The Roman Catholic "Church" teaches salvation by many means, and then add to that other things, for instance:

    -Attaining Salvation
    -Maintaining Salvation
    -Regaining Salvation (when lost)

    The official teaching of the R.C.C. is that we get saved through many different ways combined, namely grace, faith, "good works", infant baptism ("necessary element"), partaking of the Sacraments, penance, indulgences, and keeping "the commandments" (theirs, not God's).

    Scripture/Christianity

    Salvation is only by Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ

    The word "grace" is in Scripture 160 times, first describing Noah. Grace is unmerited favor, no works involved, and is completely the opposite of works, and the two cannot be combined. We cannot please God with any works until after we are saved. In fact, the more we work to get saved, the more we insult God and slap Him in the face, saying, "Your Son's death is just a start, I will finish this!"

    (Romans 11:6)
    And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

    (Ephesians 2:8-9)
    For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

    (Titus 3:5)
    Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

    (Acts 15:11)
    But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

    (Romans 3:20)
    Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

    (Isaiah 64:6)
    But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

    Plus a lot of other verses, in context. All verses used by the R.C.C. for "works" "salvation" are taken out of context and the plain ones, in context, deliberately ignored.

    R.C.C CLAIM: IT GAVE US THE SCRIPTURES

    -The Jewish scribes gave us the Old Testament and Rome as a city did not even exist
    -The New Testament writers, with few exceptions, such as Luke, were JEWS, not not even Gentiles, certainly not Catholics, who did not even exist yet
    -The R.C.C., in the Dark Ages before the Reformation, killed and tortured as many Christians as they could get their bloodthirsty paws on, who wanted to and tried to translate the Scriptures out of Latin, ancient Hebrew, Koine Greek, etc. They failed and we have the King James today in English. God will remember this against her, the one drunk with the bloof of the martyrs.

    R.C.C CLAIM: YOU CANNOT INTERPRET THE SCRIPTURES

    -"Only the magisterium can interpret it for you"
    -This is what ALL CULTS do, no exception
    -Mormonism: It is the Presidency House in Salt Lake City

    - The "Seventh Day Adventists" will not let members of is cult interpret the Scriptures by themselves - The leaders of the "Jewish Roots Movement" or "Hebrew Roots Movement"will not let members of is cult interpret the Scriptures by themselves -JWs: The Watchtower and tract society in Brooklyn, NY
    -Islam: The imams must tell you what it means
    -Christian Scientist/Church of Scientology: Only the "Mother Church in Boston, MA"
    -In American churches today in the apostasy, people turn to the pastor or a famous person or leader with "degrees" or a professor from a "seminary" (AKA cemetery), or Christian TV, or on Christian radio, or a famous Christian author, a traveling conference speaker, etc. to interpret the Bible, which sits on their lap or on a bookshelf, unread or read on Sunday morning, Wednesday night in small amounts, as prescribed.

    "Maybe the reason people watch too much TV is that they are programmed to"
    -The Late Dave Hunt


    -This idea of "appeals to authority"is not found in Scripture, as Jesus said so:

    John 14:17
    Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

    John 14:26
    But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

    John 16:13
    Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.


    -This means that, like Bereans, we do not need anyone but the Holy Spirit indwelling us, careful study of the Word and checking like Bereans every word ANYONE says, because we are responsible for our beliefs
    -Jesus said "MAN shall not live by bread alone", which is all of us..., not "a Rabbi", "a Priest",
    -The Jews were told to write the Scriptures, the commandments on the doorposts and lintels of their homes for ALL, including their children, to read.

    Deuteronomy 11:18-20
    Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes .And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:

    No one needs an "official, degreed, government approved, licensed, certified, papered" and all else person to tell us what it says because we have the Holy Ghost. That is the criteria to teach, having the Holy Ghost
    -Deuteronomy 8:3
    And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

    Psalms 1:1-2
    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

    The MAN, not the rabbi, priest, etc.

    Psalms 119:9-11
    BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

    A young man memorizing God's Word....."anathema" to the R.C.C.!

    The R.C.C.... "anathema" to God!

    Luke 4:4
    And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

    After this the devil left Him. Jesus told us how we are to live and that is by His Word and words, not those of men. Every word in God;s Word comes purely from the mouth of God God, as it says.

    2 Peter 1:21
    For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.


    Roman Catholic Claim

    Assurance of salvation: none The R.C.C. teaches that one must work, be a good Catholic, do the sacraments, get last rites, etc. and then, once one is gone from earth, the family, loved ones, friends can hold masses for you and pay indulgences so you will get out of "purgatory", eventually, perhaps if you do these works enough.

    Scripture/Christianity

    Assurance of salvation is guaranteed (1 John 5:13)
    These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

    (John 10:28-29)
    And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

    Roman Catholic Claim

    The Seven Sacraments: Baptism, Eucharist, Penance, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders, Anointing of the Sick; exorcisms, blessings of objects, dedication of churches sacred garments, installation into clerical offices, Roman Missal and eastern rites.

    Scripture/Christianity

    SEVEN SACRAMENTS NOT FOUND

    - Baptism: For believers only, above the age of understanding the Gospel
    -Confirmation: no such thing is found in Scripture-no ceremonies, fancy garb, needing to go to a special service, and such an event saves no one, but rather makes them "An Official Roman Catholic" is all
    -Eucharist: no such thing in Scripture, and partaking in communion is only for believers, after self-examination
    -Penance: Not found in Scripture, only confession to God of our sins, confessing our faults one to another
    -Anointing of the Sick: Anyone who is a believer can anoint anyone, pray for them and it is up to God to heal, not any person on earth. The oil is said to represent strength, but in Scripture it only ever represents the Holy Spirit
    -Matrimony: Getting married does not save a single soul on earth and never did. Besides, "priests" and "nuns' then cannot be saved, since they never marry
    -Holy Orders: Any bishop, overseer, deacon, elder, "priest" or "nun" is not saved by virtue of their official office, no matter who appoints them. Salvation is by grace through faith, believing in Jesus Christ, not by becoming some sort of "official" in any church
    So you see, the only "sacraments" in Scripture are baptism and marriage, neither of which have any redeeming value in terms of salvation, and the rest of them are merely evil inventions of fallen mankind used to control people

    R.C.C: THE "MYSTERY OF THE EUCHARIST"

    The R.C.C. literally claims that the priest holding the wafer and a cup of wine, grape juice, whatever, actually becomes the literal body and blood of the LORD Jesus Christ right there. They claim that this is what jesus meant in John when He had the passover meal and broke the bread, drank the wine with the disciples. Jesus Christ was not holding HIMSELF in His own hands when He did this, come one now! He said, "Do this in remembrance of me", speaking spiritually, liek when He said, "I am the door", He is not a literal wooden door with hinges. When I said "I am the light of the world", He did not means He was a literal oil lamp or when He said, "I am the good shepherd of the sheep", He did not mean a literal shepherd in the field with a set of sheep dogs herding sheep. This was a spiritual saying for us to know. He is the shepherd of our SOULS, not of rams, ewes and lambs.

    1 Peter 2:25
    For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

    Luke 22:19
    And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

    1 Corinthians 11:24
    And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 1 Corinthians 11:25
    After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
    In the "Mysterium Fide", Pope Paul's encyclical on the Eucharist

    "Description of the woman whose name is Babylon John tells us that the name Babylon emblazened on the woman's forehead is preceded by the word mystery and again mystery is the very heart of Roman Catholicism Pope Paul the six encyclical on the Eucharist is titled Mysterium FIDE Vatican 2 refers repeatedly to the mystery of the Eucharist the Vatican's new Universal catechism declares that all the church's liturgy is mystery and that its aim is to initiate Souls into the mystery of Christ it is Mystic ogi it says by claiming to be the the custodian of a mystery which only its priests and Bishops can mediate the Roman Catholic Church keeps its members dependent upon it rather than"

    -Dave Hunt, A Woman Rides the Beast"

    The R.C.C. falsely claims that the "Eucharist" "literally" becomes the body of Jesus Christ and does not remain a wafer. During mass the R.C.C. claims that "host" (a wafer god from ancient Babylon) literally becomes the Body of the LORD Jesus Christ

    This is literally, genuinely, embarrassingly laughable on its face. I asked a Roman Catholic one time, "Exactly at what point does the "host" stop being Jesus? On your tongue? In the esophagus? Stomach acid? Intestines? Digested and into the blood stream? In the toilet, drain, sewer treatment plant, in the ground, in the ocean? Yeah, few even think this through.

    Stop and think now. If that were true, none of us needed Jesus Christ to go to the Cross to die for our sins. "Just go to a mass over and over to be saved, we do not need Jesus!" Neither can millions of these R.C.C. wafers all be simultaneously the literal body of Christ at once, all over the world. Jesus is not literally a loaf of bread:

    John 6:48-51
    I am that bread of life. fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

    Scripture/Christianity

    1.) So think, since they believe blindly that the wafer literally, actually becomes the LORD, at what EXACT point does it cease to be the LORD? The tongue? In the saliva? The throat? The esophagus? The stomach? The intestines? Colon? Rectum? Toilet? Sewer System? I mean the EXACT moment, with science to prove it
    2.) From whence came the DNA of someone who is, for two thousand years now, in Heaven, unavailable to give a 2,000 year old sample, to show that this is anything OTHER than the wafer? 3. Jesus cried at the last on the Cross, "It is Finished", meaning "paid in FULL", not "It is ALOMST finished, done in part". 4.) Finally, what exact verses in their context can you use to show that this is anything at all?

    (Luke 22:19)
    And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

    Jesus did not become a piece of bread, and especially did not become a small, thin wafer! The broken bread was to symbolize his broken body, so we would remember what He did for us on the Cross. This is a perfect example of not reading the text, but reading into it for personal and corporate reasons. If Jesus literally meant that this was literally His body and blood, then he also is a door, a literal lion, a light, a shepherd, etc.

    (Genesis 9:4)
    But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

    (Leviticus 3:17)
    It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.

    (Leviticus 7:26-27)
    Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings. Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

    (Leviticus 17:14)
    For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.

    (Deuteronomy 12:16)
    Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.

    (Deuteronomy 12:23)
    Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.

    (Ezekiel 33:25)
    Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?

    (Acts 15:29)
    That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

    Roman Catholic Claim


    "First Holy Communion"; prerequisite is baptism as infant, classes required, no salvation needed

    Scripture/Christianity

    Communion: For born-again believers only, bread and wine (fermented grape juice, not actual wine like the R.C.C. serves today) as a remembrance of the LORD'S Supper, does not save

    Roman Catholic Claim


    Penance/Confession: An R.C.C. official sacrament for salvation, to be administered only through an R.C.C. priest or higher, and is a way to reestablish to right relationship with God and the sinner who has strayed, and is claimed to be necessary for salvation if a person was baptized as a baby and has since "fallen away" from God (meaning fallen away from the R.C.C.)

    The procedure goes like this:

    -One gets a greeting from the priest
    -The priest reads from the Bible
    -The priest then urges, exhorts the sinner to repentance
    -The sinner confesses their sin to the priest
    -The priest accepts the confession, repentance and penance, through "absolution", absolving them of their sins
    -They pray a "prayer of thanksgiving"
    -The emphasis here is on our works, not grace, not faith, not the Cross, not Jesus Christ or His death

    Scripture/Christianity

    Penance/Confession: One to another, or straight (unmediated) to God, Our Debt is PAID IN FULL. this is because of the finished work of the Cross, the burial and resurrection of the LORD Jesus Christ and belief in Him that we are forgiven, not our works.

    (Psalms 32:5)
    I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

    (1 John 1:9-10)
    If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

    (James 5:16)
    Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

    (Hebrews 10:19-21)
    Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God;

    (Hebrews 9:12)
    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.

    (Ephesians 1:7)
    In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

    Roman Catholic Claim


    Priesthood: Sacrament, ordained by God/R.C.C.

    The R.C.C. makes the claim that only certain men, sent to Catholic seminary and ordained by only the R.C.C. are true priests who represent the "Mother Church" and therefore God Himself on earth.

    Scripture/Christianity

    Priesthood: Ordained by God for all believers

    The Scriptures clearly teach that all men who are saved are already priests, no official ceremonies or titles are needed.

    (1 Peter 2:5)
    Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

    (1 Peter 2:9)
    But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

    (Revelation 1:6)
    And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

    (Revelation 5:10)
    And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

    In every verse, God is speaking to all true believers in Jesus Christ, born-again Christians, and in no way is referencing a special class of men.

    Anointing of the Sick:

    Scripture/Christianity

    Anointing of the Sick: (Acts 3-ALL)
    Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
    And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ancle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
    And all the people saw him walking and praising God: And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
    And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering. And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
    But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days. Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

    Idolatry Forbidden (1 Corinthians 10:7-10)
    Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

    Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

    (1 Corinthians 3:11-13)
    For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

    (Revelation 9:20)
    And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

    (Revelation 21:8)
    But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

    -Not any graven image
    -No graven image of any thing
    -No graven image of any thing on earth at all, not one thing (person, animal, plant, or any thing else)
    -No graven image of any thing in heaven above (angels, devils, dead people, starts, moon, sun, birds, or anything else)
    -No graven image of any thing in the water (fish gods, dolphin gods, whale gods, etc or any thing else)
    -Of any material
    -And do not bow down to worship them

    pope-fish-hat

    A hundred and nineteen verses alone tell us not to have any idols. Hundreds of warnings throughout the entire Scriptures against it and you think it is OK. NOT ONE TIME did God approve of it. NOT ONCE.

    Warnings of:

    -Death (being cut off)
    -Plagues
    -Lost fellowship with God
    -Hell forever

    God does not even want us to eat food sacrificed to the idols, let alone worship or bow down to them.

    (1 Corinthians 10:28)
    But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:

    There is not one single word from God that even HINTS that making images, icons, statues to any thing at any place at any time is OK.

    There is not one single word from God that even HINTS that making images, icons, statues to any thing at any place at any time is not wickedness, for which many have died and gone to hell, civilizations have disappeared, gone into captivity, lives ruined.

    Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;

    (Ezekiel 14:5)
    That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.

    (Ezekiel 14:6)
    Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.

    (Ezekiel 14:7)
    For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:

    (Ezekiel 16:36)
    Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;

    (Ezekiel 18:6)

    (Ezekiel 20:31)
    For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.

    (Ezekiel 20:39)

    (Ezekiel 22:4)
    Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.

    That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.

    (Ezekiel 23:39)
    For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.

    (Ezekiel 23:49)

    (Ezekiel 30:13)
    Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

    Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:

    (Ezekiel 36:25)
    Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

    (Ezekiel 37:23)
    Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

    (Ezekiel 44:10)
    And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.

    (Ezekiel 44:12)
    Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity.

    (Habakkuk 2:18)

    (Zechariah 10:2)
    For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.

    (1 Corinthians 8:4)
    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.

    (1 Corinthians 8:7)
    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.

    (1 Corinthians 8:10)
    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;

    (1 Corinthians 10:7)

    Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

    (1 Peter 4:3)
    For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:

    (Revelation 2:14)

    (Revelation 9:20)

    (Revelation 21:8)
    But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

    (Revelation 22:15)
    For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

    _____________________________________________________________

    (1 Corinthians 8:1-13)
    Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. But if any man love God, the same is known of him. 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. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 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. 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. 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.
    But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 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; And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

    To understand the context of verse 4, the entire chapter and the rest of the entirety of Scripture must be taken. So what does 1 Corinthians 8 really say, from the context? -People think they are smart when they have worldly knowledge
    -This is nothing, they know nothing, and all true knowledge only comes from God, worldly wisdom is nothing compared to wisdom from God
    -The idol is nothing, absolutely, because it is an immaterial, inanimate object
    -We are not called to worship something that "is nothing"
    -it is the enemy, satan, who has the power to deceive and use that immaterial, inanimate object to get worship for himself, a goal he has always had, since the garden (Luke 4)
    -There are many idols to worship in this world and in the spiritual realm
    -There is only one true God who we are to follow, who makes the rules
    -The difference is that God is the One and Only Creator; all else is the created things
    -People ignorantly eat things offered to idols, and practice idolatry due to spiritual blindness
    -This is because they have no real conscience, the Holy Spirit is not in them to guide them into all truth, and they are spiritually weak, rendering them defenseless against the enemy, who is smarter and more subtle, who is the expert in deception
    -The food itself is nothing but food, even sacrificed to idols, though they may think that it is something special
    -The sacrificed food does absolutely nothing to gain God's favor, as it is idolatry, which He hates
    -The eating of the meat does not anger God, it is the eating of the meat which came from idolatry itself that angers God.
    -Otherwise, no one could eat any meat if God was not pleased with meat.
    -However, this idolatry is a stumblingblock to the weaker people who do not understand Christianity, see you eating it and will not follow Jesus now, not because they are not hungry, but because they are now confused that you claim to be a Christian, but practice that which is against Christ, because they are weak.
    -They will, however, see you justifying this idolatry by doing it and think that it is OK to do themselves.
    -He will decide he does not need Christ, perish, go to hell and you will be the stumblingblock that caused this, this idolatry
    -You sin against them, and you sin against God, the LORD Jesus Christ
    -If the meat is sacrificed to idols, we are not to eat it so as to not let this happen
    -Yes, the idol is nothing to God............but the idolatry is sin, wickedness, hell bound rebellion, evil is everything He hates..
    (Luke 4:5-8)
    And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

    Exodus 20:4-6
    You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my Commandments.

    (Leviticus 26:1)
    Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

    (Isaiah 44:19)
    And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?

    Roman Catholic Claim:

    Purgatory

    From an R.C.C. web site:

    "The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines purgatory as a "purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven," which is experienced by those "who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified" (CCC 1030). It notes that "this final purification of the elect . . . is entirely different from the punishment of the damned" (CCC 1031). The purification is necessary because, as Scripture teaches, nothing unclean will enter the presence of God in heaven (Rev. 21:27) and, while we may die with our mortal sins forgiven, there can still be many impurities in us, specifically venial sins and the temporal punishment due to sins already forgiven."

    There are a ton of problems with this pagan belief or pagan origins: -The word "purgatory" is a made up word of the R.C.C and appears not in a SINGLE place, and is not even hinted at in Scripture, God's Word
    -It assumes that we are not completely forgiven by God when accepting Jesus Christ as our LORD and Saviour
    -It assumes that we can pay for our own sin ("purge" our sins) in an imaginary place
    -It assumes that there are two types of sin, mortal and venial, which is 100% false
    -It takes money as indulgences for the priest to pray for the "faithfully departed" so that they can "get out of purgatory", a most cruel practice to foist on unsuspecting people
    -Neither you, nor anyone else on earth can pay for your sins, only the LORD Jesus Christ Who already did pay for all of them
    -You either go straight to Heaven or straight to hell-your choice. There is no "limbo"
    -You cannot pray for the dead or to the dead, that is necromancy, and forbidden by God's Word
    -You cannot pay for your dead, either, nor for your sins, nor anyone else's

    The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

    (Luke 16:20-31)
    And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
    And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

    Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

    Top 10 Questions Every Catholic Must Know and Answer about the Catholic Church

    "We Catholics are often asked tough questions about our Catholic faith and its relationship to the Bible. Here are the ten most-asked-questions and the answers that should help you satisfy both your questioner and yourself."

    1. Are your beliefs found in the Bible?

    All Catholic beliefs can be found in the Bible in some form, whether plainly or by an indirect indication. It is not necessary for everything to be absolutely clear in Scripture alone, because that is not a teaching of Scripture itself. Scripture also points to an authoritative Church and Tradition, as St. Paul says in his Second Letter to the Thessalonians: “Stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter” (2 Thess 2:15 – see also 1 Cor 11:2, 2 Thess 3:6; 2 Tim (1:13-14; 2:2). When the first Christians had a significant disagreement, they didn’t simply open their Bibles (which didn’t even exist at that point) to decide who was right; they held a council, which made binding decrees (Acts 15:1-29). The very books of the Bible had to be determined by the Church and that didn’t happen until the late fourth century. Therefore, Sacred Tradition and authority were necessary for us to even have a Bible today.

    2. Why do you obey the Pope?

    Catholics believe that Jesus commissioned St. Peter as the first leader of the Church. Matthew’s Gospel has the most direct biblical indication of the papacy: “And I tell you, you are Peter (meaning literally “Rock”) and on this rock I will build my church … I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven” (Mt 16:18-19). Based on this statement of Jesus himself, Peter is clearly portrayed in the New Testament as the leader of the disciples. A pope can make infallible, binding pronouncements under certain conditions. Infallibility doesn’t mean that absolutely everything a pope says is free from error. All Christians believe that God protected Holy Scripture from error by means of inspiration, even though sinful, fallible men wrote it. We Catholics also believe that God the Holy Spirit protects His Church and its head from error (Jn 14:16) by means of infallibility, even though sinful, imperfect men are involved in it.

    3. Why do you call your priest “Father”?

    “And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven” (Mt 23:9). In this passage, Jesus is teaching that God the Father alone is ultimately the source of all authority. But He is not speaking absolutely, because if so, that would eliminate even biological fathers, the title “Church Fathers”, the founding fathers of a country or organization and so on. Jesus himself uses the term “father” in Matthew (15:4-5; 19:5, 19, 29; 21:31), John (8:56) and several other places. In the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, Jesus actually presents Lazarus as using the address “Father Abraham” twice (Lk 16:24, 30 – see also Acts 7:2; Rom 4:12; Jas 2:21). St. Paul also uses the term when he writes, “I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel (1 Cor 4:15 – see also 1 Cor 4:14-16) and refers to “our forefather Isaac” (Rom 9:10).

    4. Why do you pray for the dead?

    The Bible clearly teaches the rightness of prayers for the dead in 2 Maccabees (12:40, 42, 44-45): “Then under the tunic of every one of the dead they found sacred tokens of the idols of Jamnia, which the law forbids Jews to wear. And it became clear to all that this was why these men had fallen … And they turned to prayer, beseeching that the sin which had been committed might be wholly blotted out … For if he were not expecting that those who had fallen would rise againn, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead …He made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin.” St. Paul teaches this in a similar way: “Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf?” (1 Cor 15:29). This indicates prayer and fasting for the dead. The word baptism often symbolically refers to penances (Mk 10:38-39; Lk 3:16, 12:50). The apostle Paul also appears to be praying for a dead person, Onesiphorus, in 2 Timothy (1:16-18).

    5. Why do you pray to idols (statues)?

    No Catholic who knows anything about the Catholic faith has ever worshiped a statue (as in pagan idolatry). If we cherish the memory of mere political heroes with statues and that of war heroes with monuments, then there can be no objection to honoring saints and righteous men and women: “Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor” (1 Pet 2:17 – see also Rom 12:10; Heb 12:22-23). Statues are simply a visual reminder of great saints and heroes of the faith (Heb 11), who are more alive than we are (2 Cor 3:18), as is evident by their praying: “O Sovereign Lord … how long before thou wilt judge and aveng

    Roman Catholic Doctrines Not Found in Scripture

    In saying, "Not Found", it is meant that the idea itself is not even hinted at, let alone explicitly written. In many instances, the exact opposite is taught

    For instance, the unScriptural and officially approved heretical, blasphemous teachings of:

    -The "popes" being the final authority on all matters of faith and practice
    -Peter being a pope
    -Mary being sinless
    -Mary being prayed to in heaven
    -Mary being a perpetual virgin
    -The idea of nuns
    -The Rosary
    -Praying the "Hail Mary" (Ave Maria)
    -"The Immaculate Conception of Mary"
    -"The Assumption of Mary"
    -"Mary is the Mother of God"
    -The inclusion of the "Apocryphal books" in to Scripture
    -The Mass, where Jesus is Crucified, daily, over and over, every day, literally in Rome's doctrine and in their minds
    -Infant "Baptism", no immersion, but "sprinkling"
    -"Confirmation", meaningless to salvation, $$$$ for the Vatican
    -Bowing to idols, "The Blessed Mary", "The Blessed Sacrament" (also "Mary")
    -Chantings and incantations
    -Confession to a priest
    -Priests alone have power to forgive sins
    -The ten commandments altered, dropping the call to not make or bow down to idols
    -The R.C.C. as the "Mother Church"
    -Infallibility of the popes speaking "ex cathedra"
    -"Holy Water"
    -"Transubstantiation" where the "host" becomes literally the body and blood of the LORD Jesus Christ, which is open blasphemy:

    -Jesus never said He was a literal door
    -Jesus never said He was a literal light bulb or candle
    -Jesus never said He was a literal shepherd of actual animal that are sheep and go "baaaaaaaaa", but a Pastor of us (people) His sheep
    -Jesus never said He was a literal piece of bread, He said to "do this in remembrance of me"

    Luke 22:19
    And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

    -Jesus never said to literally drink His Blood, He said to "do this in remembrance of me"

    -This means that they inject their own doctrine into Scripture and make things literal when they want to, such as above, when it suits them, and allegorize verses when it also suits them as well

    - John 6:30-35
    They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

    Roman Catholicism: THE HISTORY

    Needs to be rewritten, link is at http://eaec.org/cults/romancatholic.htm

    Roman Catholicism: CULT OF MARY, CULT OF EVIL

    A partial history

    (Romans 1:25 [KJV])
    Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

    -Founder: Emperor Constantine, 312 A.D., who claimed, losing a war, that he suddenly had a "miraculous conversion" to get Christians and "Christians" behind him
    -Constantine still worshiped the sun god, sol invictus and never stopped building pagan idols, temples, etc.
    -It's headquarters is in Rome (Roman), Italy, it's name says it is "universal" (catholic)
    -The Vatican is simply a city-state, with tremendous political power, huge walls, high security, its own laws, own government
    -Christianity was not made the official religion of the Roman Empire until 380 and 381 A.D., with the edicts of Theodosius I
    -Regardless, Constantine, from 312 A.D. until 337 when he died, was was both building pagan temples and Christian churches, and was slowly turning over the power, his seat of his "pagan priesthood" to "the Bishop of Rome. ("popes")
    -Constantine's family title was "Pontifex Maximus", as were many Roman emperors, and the title was later adopted, given to the "popes"
    -The popes also took Constantine's other titles, as the self-appointed civil "head of the church" – "Summus Pontifex", which means "Vicar" of Christ" and "Bishop of Bishops"
    -The words "vicar of Christ" mean "replacement of Christ" or "in the place of Christ", meaning that the "popes" replace Christ on earth- because they say so
    -The Christians in the book of Acts suffered great persecution and martyrdom from both the Jewish leaders and Rome herself, from Rome for not worshiping their pagan idols
    -In order to win over the lukewarm, tepid, nominal and mediocre Christians, Constantine melded the two religions into one, making Christianity palatable, respectable to the now compromising masses
    -Rome's pagan deities were "Christianized", so Rome went from "pagan deities" to "Roman pagan deities"
    -The pagan god statues became "saints", mother (pagan goddess ("Cybele" with child, pronounced SIB-ɘ-lee;, mother goddess of Rome) pagan statues became "Madonna and the Christ child"
    -Mary, the mother of Jesus the man (God does not have a mother) became a goddess to the Roman Catholic "Church"
    -Now, praying to "the mother goddess "Cybele" was switched to praying to "Mary, the Mother of God", by changing the name from "Cybele" to "Mary, mother of God"
    -What is not known is that this pagan "Madonna and child" goes way back to Babylon and never had anything to do with Jews or Christians
    -They even formed "patron saints" of cities from these pagan idols
    -They took the pagan holidays and reclassified them as "Christian holy days"
    -For instance, the Roman "Lupercalia" ("health, fertility and purity") and "the feast of purification of Isis" then became "the Feast of the Nativity"
    -The pagan Saturnalia feast became "Christmas" (Christ + MASS, as in RCC MASS), except the shepherds were in the field when Jesus was born, not in December!
    -"All Souls Day" or "All Saints Day", a feast of the dead, became "Halloween"
    -So persecution went from not rejecting Christ and being martyred to not following Romish, pagan idols and being martyred
    -The persecution, once "in the name of Jehovah" by the Jewish leadership under the time of the book of Acts was now switched to "not following Rome's 'Christianity' ", persecuted "In the Name of 'Christ' "
    -This is their well documented origin, their legacy, their heritage, and they deserve it, they earned it
    -They invented under Rome and Roman Catholicism cruel tortures to get Christians to recant (the rack, human candles, drawing and quartering, etc.)
    -Mary worship became an official doctrine of the R.C.C. in at the Council of Ephesus, 431 AD, under Roman Emperor Theodosius II
    -From that time on to today, the self-proclaimed "bishop of Rome" was to be THE "Supreme Priest: to the pagans, now also self-proclaimed to be "the head over the Christian church"
    -Now, paganism was one with "Christianity", forming the Roman Catholic Church
    -Peter was never one time called by Jesus a single title of these self-proclaimed "popes"
    -Today the Pope also calls himself "The Holy See" (Latin: Sancta Sedes, "holy chair", Santa Sede ['santa' s∈ːde]), also called "the See of Rome", from their naming of "Petrine See" or "Apostolic See", )
    -Nuns were formerly temple prostitutes, fornication of every imaginable sort was and is very rampant from the top down, and every major crime known to man, done, covered up
    -Sergius III (circa 860 – 911) Murdered his two wo Predecessors, Fathered an illegitimate child, became a "pope", Sergius III was the "pope" from 904-911
    -Pope John XII turned the Vatican into a brothel, defiling any woman, virgin, married, widowed, doing to even on "the tombs of Peter" and Paul!
    -Pope Boniface VIII (1294-1303)

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    -Rome was also known as Babylon in ancient times
    -John using the word "Babylon" to represent her may have been a way to avoid persecution by Rome, knowing that his contemporary readers would certainly know of whom he was speaking in the way of cities-IT WAS ROME
    -John several times calls her "that great city", which she was not when he wrote it, so that is not who Babylon is, so it has to represent another city
    -Since the Roman Empire was never conquered, not completely dead, not destroyed, and now is revived, could she be the one with the deadly wound that was healed?
    -This also could be a false miracle done to deceive the masses, and will work -

    Revelation 12:3
    And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

    Revelation 17:3
    So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

    Revelation 17:9
    And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

    The beast that the woman rides is the revived Roman Empire, as will be shown clearly below.
    -In chapter 12, it is the red dragon which has the seven heads and twelve horns and seven crowns on his heads
    -In chapter 17, there is a woman riding the beast who has seven heads and ten horns
    -Rome is a city built on seven hills, seven mountains
    -All other cities on seven mountains, seven hills, are eliminated, excluded because she also has emblazened on her forehead "MYSTERY BABYLON"

    John tells us that the name Babylon emblazoned on the woman's forehead is preceded by the word mystery and again mystery is the very heart of Roman Catholicism:

    MYSTERY BABYLON

    Pope Paul's "The sixth encyclical on the Eucharist is titled "Mysterium FIDE

    Vatican II refers repeatedly to "The mystery of the Eucharist"

    The Vatican's new Universal Catechism declares that "All the church's liturgy is mystery" and that its aim is to "Initiate souls into the mystery of Christ"

    In its Mysticality, it states that the Roman Catholic church is the the custodian of a mystery which only its priests and Bishops can mediate.

    Contrast that with Paul before King Agrippa when Festus heard Paul's salvation testimony on the road to Damascus to kill Christians and got saved, to Festus there:

    Acts 26:24-26
    And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness. For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.

    Agrippa's answer back after Paul testified?

    Acts 26:28
    Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

    This is how cults control people, by making people not turn to God and His Word for answers, but ONLY to them. No cult does otherwise. Including Roman Catholicism.
    -Saddam Hussein tried to rebuild the ancient city of Babylon, and failed, and is now dead anyways; construction has ceased
    -Except also that the Bible says that that fourth empire will be brought back to life, revived, as that city was not even built ever on seven hills-ROME WAS
    -No other city was known as "the city on seven hills"-ROME WAS and IS even today

    "it is within the city of Rome, the city of seven hills, that the entire city of Vatican State proper us now confined"
    -Catholic Encyclopedia

    -No other city not named Babylon was ever KNOWN as "Babylon" -ROME WAS, "Babylon is a code word for Rome. It is used that way six times in the last book of the Bible and in extra-biblical Sibylline Oracles , the Apocalypse of Baruch, and Esdras. Eusebius Pamphilius, writing about 303 A.D. noted that Peter referred to Rome figuratively as Babylon. "
    -Karl Keating

    -She is also called, "the great whore.... with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication". No other city also was not responsible for-EXCEPT ROME. Why? Because she HAS committed spiritual fornication with the kings of the earth, in that, in recent times, she has hosted many conferences, trying to unite all religions-EXCEPT BIBLICAL CHRISTIANITY which exposes her.

    Revelation 17:1-2
    And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

    Revelation 19:2
    For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.


    -God even called Jerusalem a harlot in Isaiah 1:21,

    Isaiah 1:21
    How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

    -This is speaking of Jerusalem, not Rome. Jerusalem is not a city built on seven hills-ROME WAS
    -No other city is a spiritual one outside of Jerusalem, only one-ROME
    -No other city on earth has ever declared itself to be "the headquarters of the true church"-ROME HAS for over a thousand years
    -No other city on earth has ever declared itself to be "the headquarters of the One World Religion" as foretold in Revelation-ROME HAS
    -No other spiritual leader, religious leader claims to be the "Vicar of Christ", "Vicar "meaning REPLACEMENT OF CHRIST

    -ROME'S POPES HAVE

    Rome has taught its members that Rome, Roman Catholicism has replaced Israel , the true people of God, His children and is now, therefore, the "New Jerusalem"- ONLY ROMAN CATHOLICISM HAS
    -No other city has called itself by the names God gave Jerusalem,

    -The Holy City
    -The City of God
    -The Eternal City

    -ROME HAS

    ROME: FROM MYSTERIES TO OPEN HATRED OF JESUS CHRIST

    THE ONE WORLD RELIGION POPE SPEAKS

    “Communion between Christians and Muslims takes shape under the mantle of Our Lady of Africa. Here, in #Algeria, the maternal love of Lalla Meryem gathers everyone as children, within our rich diversity, in our shared aspiration for dignity, love, justice, and peace. In a world where division and wars sow pain and death, living in unity and peace is a compelling sign.”

    It is impossible to say hat this "pope" and his false "Roman" "Catholicism "paganism is not the woman riding the beast. She openly shows herself to be so. She is utterly unashamed of her open hatred of God and His people, both Jews and Christians. Fiery, deceiving hatred disguised subtly as "love"

    "yea, hath God said....?"

    A POPE FROM BLOODY ROME, VATICAN CITY
    MUST BE THE WOMAN RIDING THE BEAST

    -Being a city
    -A city known and calling itself "Babylon"
    -Having lots of "mysteries", making them "Mystery Babylon"
    -Built on seven mountains, seven hills
    -A city committing spiritual fornication with the rules of this world
    -She is a religious city, claiming to be the headquarters of worldwide Christianity
    -She is a religious city, in that she has many times gathered world religious leaders to the Vatican, something no pastor was ever called to do, as Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel"

    Mark 16:15
    And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

    Jesus did not say, "invite all of the world's religious leaders to your house and hold a meeting to talk about how we can unite them all under one power and control". That is the spirit of the serpent, the devil, anti-Christ, not the Holy Spirit of the LORD Jesus Christ
    -It is completely undeniable that this is spiritual fornication!

    -Jesus said His kingdom is not of this world when brought before Pilate:

    John 18:36
    Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

    And yet, the popes commanded very great military commanders and operations, during their wars in their bloody history, to build a huge kingdom of their own, now in place, with so much money and po;itical influence that it is unbelievable, and soon to take over the entire world, along with the anti-Christ she will ride. $he i$ 100% of thi$$$$ world. Ye$, tho$e are dollar $ign$.

    Avro Manhattan wrote a book years ahgo, called, "The Vatican Billions". That book is like all others exposing the great Whore of Babylon and, not surprisingly, as expected, on the "Catholic Index of Forbidden Books"

    -Rome, specifically Vatican City, is a political, governmental system city, hosting world leaders for centuries, helping put evil wicked dictators into power, deposing those who oppose and expose her
    -She is a bloody and bloodthirsty city, torturing and martyring millions for over 1,000 years, during the Dark Ages, until the Reformation

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Just these criteria alone eliminate all other cities on earth except Vatican City, located in Rome.

    God said He would punish them for their sins, mostly idolatry: FULFILLED

    -God told Israel their final return, a barren and dead one, now blessed and greatly fertile, so much that they are the breadbasket for much of the world: FULFILLED
    -God said Israel would become a cup of trembling in the last days, hated of all nations: FULFILLED
    -Rebuilding Jerusalem after destruction:FULFILLED
    -God said Israel would become a burdensome stone in the last days, hated of all nations: FULFILLED

    -Jerusalem would return to Jewish control: FULFILLED
    -Israel wil l accept their Messiah: FULFILLED
    -Israel will be attacked by Muslim neighbors and Russia, pretty much most of the world, all of the world against her: FUTURE
    -144,000 Israeli evangelists, 12,000 from each tribe of Israel, will evangelize all the world: FUTURE
    -The anti-Christ will attempt to destroy them and scatter them to th wilderness: FUTURE
    -A false peace accord will be made between the anti-Christ and Israel: FUTURE
    -Israel will be saved from their enemies by their Messiah: FUTURE

    ISRAEL TODAY

    -Israel is back in their land, returned by God in 1948, after ca. 2,000 years of being scattered

    When Israel declared its independence they didn't attack the Arabs. They were given 13% of the land that had been promised to them, a narrow strip of land. It was and is too small to even be defended by normal means. When the United Nations gave it to them they were immediately attacked by the regular armies of about five to seven cooperating, collaborating Arab nations with overwhelming numerical superiority of fire power of tanks and planes, etc. and the backing of many more nations. They fought with farm tools against technology and won!. Why? God did it for them.
    This was 60,000 Israelis, all civilians in a six month war by a rag tag army that went against 80,000,000 Arabs, helped by more nations, including the British.

    60,000 versus 80,000,000 AND THEY WON!!

    Then the wars that happened in 1967 and 1973 to retake Jerusalem, and the world trying to wipe Israel from the map ever since, with as many nations as can be gathered against her, eventually all of them. In fact, there is not a single map in a Muslim country textbook that includes Israel. To them, she does not exist, yet they want to destroy her (and will be suddenly, utterly destroyed by her Protector) So it starts with a one world language confounded, the world divided, then Israel created, then Israel destroyed several times (i.e. the Assyrians, Babylonians, last under the Romans), then scattered worldwide, now in 1948 and today a nation of Israel re-gathered into her land, following soon by a one world language (presumably English) once again, with a one world religion, one world government once again, this time under the anti-Christ. However, this time, unknown to the world, Israel cannot be removed, nor ever will be, ever again, though they all will try. God has her back, as always, and all is going according to His Divine Plan and His Divine Will God said what would happen and it is all coming to pass.

    -They now have their capital back, Jerusalem, after 2,000 years
    -They are surrounded on all sides and attacked with bloody hatred by weapons and words, daily, with endless wars and terrorist attacks, and yet God still protects them from annihilation and removal
    -Blessed, as always, with talent, goods, agriculture, money and power, making her enemies bloody-eyed angry and hateful, due to jealousy, coveting what Israel has, and abject hatred of them and the God protecting them, the Messiah, the LORD Jesus Christ
    -That United Nations has spent a third of its time debating, deliberating, announcing, condemning Israel with more than 60,000 votes, hundreds of times, a nation who has 1/1,000 the population of all other nations on earth combined! That is definitely a burdensome stone and a cup of trembling!
    -This same United Nations has condemned Israel close to or over 500 times.
    How many times have they condemned the Arabs and Turks, Somalis, Sudanese, Syrians, Egyptians, Libyans, Iraquis, Iranians, etc. for attacking Israel because they exist? Z-E-R-O!

    "Tisha B'Av" a major fast day for Jews, commemorating the destruction of the two Jewish Temples (among other tragedies that befell them). Islamic terrorists are well aware of and have, do and will use and and all Jewish holidays to target Israelis.
    - The 1973 war came on Yom Kippur
    - The October 7, 2003 attack came on Simchas Torah, their most joyous holiday. -
    - ca. a week before Rosh Hashanah, 2001: NYC, Pennsylvania Terrorist attacks
    - Purim
    - Passover (Pesach)
    - Simchas Torah
    - Yom Kippur
    - Sukkot
    - Hanukkah
    - Tu Bishvat
    - Yom HaShoah
    - Yom Ha-Atzmaut
    - Shavuot
    - July 23, 2026: Tisha B’Av: "Today, on Tisha b’Av on the upper west side of New York an attacker stabbed two Jewish men (one of whom was wearing a Kippah) while screaming “Allah hu Akbar!” "
    -The Tisha B’Av, the October 7, 2023: Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, — the worst atrocity against Jews since the Holocaust — will also be top of mind as our community continues to process this tragedy.

    -2022 UNGA Resolutions on Israel: 15
    -2022 UNGA Resolutions on ALL of the Rest of the World: 13
    -141 condemnations against the Jewish State since 2015
    - 69%, or over two-thirds, of all condemnations by the General Assembly were against the nation of Israel
    -The World Health Organization has issued all, that is 100% of its condemnations against the tiny Jewish state, alone. The Jewish State has been condemned by the W.H.O. nine times, while no other country has ever even been condemned a single time by the W.H.O.
    -The latest as of this writing is April 6, 2026 by the U.N. and several Arab countries condemned Israel for defending itself against Lebanon, after Lebanon attacked Israel!
    -Lastly, on the U'N Security Council, there are some 85 nations on that council and Israel has NEVER ONCE been invited, yet another fulfillment of prophecy:

    (Numbers 23:9-10
    For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations. Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!

    This, even though it continues in verse ten, "Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!". Not that they are that large today, but they should not even exist and yet, there they are! God has their back.


    -1967 war: Israel lost 3,000 men, comparable to 150,000 for the United States. It was a sneak attack of 1,400 Syrian tanks through the Golan against a SINGLE Israeli tank that was functional. 80,000 Egyptians came via the Suez, with 500 Israeli soldiers to protect and defend Israel. At the end of that war, God on their side, there were Israeli tanks on the outskirts of Damascus and Cairo!!
    -The result? Sixty one nations broke diplomatic relations with Israel for what reason? FOR DEFENDING ITSELF!
    -Now imagine how angry God is with earth

    ALL THAT ISRAEL HAS TO DO TO BE
    HATED IS MERELY LIVE, BREATHE, EXIST

    Ezekiel 38:11
    And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

    That wall in Israel will come down, probably by the agreement/treaty/pact to tear it down "in the name of peace"

    Daniel 8:26
    And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

    Ezekiel 38:12
    To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

    This ALL has to be today, the last days, since it was a desolate land of useless wilderness with no walls. So for walls to come down, they have to be built. And that has happened in Israel since 1948. It was desolate, now inhabited. In Ezekiel's day it was not desolate, nor scattered. Then it was, until 1948 and after. Israel has been regathered in the last days and made it to flourish, bloom, prosper.

    1. Meshech, Gog, Tubal-all now Russians, Tubal being now much of Turkey also The tribe of Magog are the Scythians, today the Russians. The wall of China, when it was being built, was called in ancient records, "The Wall of Magog"
    2. Persia
    3. Egypt Syria Iraq Turkey, Jordan
    4. Cush-Ethiopia
    5. Put- North Africa, Libya
    6. Togarmah-Turkey, Turkmenistan
    7. Gomer-Turkey, maybe Turkmenistan
    8. Sheba-small relative Arabian nation, peripheral, participatory
    9. Dedan-small relative Arabian nation, peripheral, participatory
    10. Tarshish-Far western Europe? Probably

    Add to that a united Europe, a revived Roman Empire under the Vatican, etc. Daniel 11:25

    On June 6, 2026, Mustafa Çiftçi of Turkey echoed Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's desire to take Jerusalem from the Jews. Turkey's leaders want the land of Israel back for the Ottoman Empire,vowing to restore Turkish control to the city that the Ottoman Empire ruled for hundreds of years until World War I. The is Ezekiel chapters 38-39 beginning to be fulfilled. One thing is certain....it will never happen now. God is there over Israel protecting Israel. Israel and the Jews will never be destroyed nor removed from His land their land ever again, forever. The one who will lose here is Turkey and all of the Muslim nations coming against God and His chosen people, Israel.

    Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar reminded Turkey that "the corrupt Ottoman Empire is gone. Forever."

    That is correct, as the Scriptures tell us. All of Israel;'s enemies will fail to oust her from His land He gave her forever.

    GOD OWNS THE LAND AND EVERYTHING ELSE ON EARTH

    (Exodus 50:10-12 [KJV])
    For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

    Ezekiel 36:5 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.

    Ezekiel 38:16
    And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

    Joel 1:6
    For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.

    Joel 3:2
    I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

    Jeremiah 2:7
    And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.

    Isaiah 14:25
    That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

    ISRAEL'S ENEMIES TODAY AND THE NATIONS IN PROPHECY

    This list is not exhaustive.

    -The "Palestinians" and the P.L.O. ("Palestinian Liberation Organization")

    THEN:

    In 30 A.D., after Rome destroyed Jerusalem in 70 A.D., Rome rebuilt the city as a pagan city with a temple, a monument to Jupiter, one of their gods, on the Temple Mount. The Jews had an uprising, a rebellion for about five years and about 500,000 of the Jews were killed, thousands of the remnant, the the rest, were sold into slavery, and in anger, the Romans renamed Israel "Syria Palestina" after their sworn enemy the Philistines. Everyone living there from then on were called "Palestinians". Just because they lived there. They are not "Palestinians" at all. They are simply people from among all of the enemy nations surrounding them, then as now.

    Forward to WWII: The British had a volunteer "Palestinian Brigade" and who was in it? Jews. The British also created a "Palestinian Symphony Orchestra", all Jews, there was also a "Palestinian Post", a Jewish Newspaper.
    The Arabs there and nearby at that time refused to be called "Palestinians" and their leaders all over Europe would proclaim, "We are not Palestinians! There was never a Palestinian people, there was no nation which was called Palestine, there was never a Palestinian language, a Palestinian culture, a Palestinian government" See how they know that this is not the name of Israel or of themselves?

    NOW:

    The so-called, self-proclaimed a "Palestinian" want to destroy Israel with the help of the entire Muslim world. That term in modern days was applied to the Arabs, etc. by Yasser Arafat's father.
    -Hamas
    -The United Nations
    -Iran (Persia, Elam)
    -Egypt
    -Jordan
    -Lebanon
    -Turkey
    -Pakistan
    -Syria
    -Fatah
    -Hezbollah
    -Qatar
    -Yemen
    -Sudan
    -Somalia
    -Libya
    -Iraq
    -Saudi Arabia
    -Algeria
    -Oman
    -Russia
    -China
    -Indonesia
    -Turkmenistan
    -Tajikistan
    -Cuba
    -Venezuela

    Currently, the nations of Jordan and Egypt, Lebanon's Hezbollah from there and Syria (Al-Nusra), Iraq, plus Saudi Arabia, North Africa, West Africa, East Africa and South Africa, parts of India (Al Queda and under Al-Mourabitoun); also Sudan, Somalia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, the Yemenis (Houthis) and the "Palestinian" terrorist groups in Gaza have plotted to unite in order to destroy, not just hurt, not just terrorize Israel, but completely and and forever eliminate God's people and thus the idea of God from the earth to supplant that idea in the minds of men with their own god, the anti-Christ (see Revelation) . They are also trying to unite with Russia, China, South American countries such as Columbia, Venezuela, etc. Soon England and the rest of Europe will join in, as well as their plan to include the United States, coming very soon. Remember the elections in NYC for mayor?

    The nations missing in Ezekiel 38-39 are:

    - The Lebanese
    - The Syrians
    - The Iraqis
    - The Egyptians
    - The Saudi Arabians
    -

    It must be stated that these names change constantly as these organizations fight and win, then lose, then move into other areas. The names and borders and possession change. The main thing to know and understand is that the name from God's Word correlate to modern nations and God is the I AM who still calls them what HE wants, despite what we call them. God calls Jordan MOAB today, while we call it Jordan after the U.N. carved it out, post WWII.

    So stop and think. This tiny nation that God loves, that God is protecting and preserving despite their sin, the size of New Jersey, occupying only a small amount of the total amount that God gave her, is so irritating to the rest of the earth because she even exists, that they want her completely erased from the earth, no other reason. Their express desire and attempt daily is to annihilate and eliminate her forever. Why? She proves God exists! Like the fulfillment of prophecy, like the creation, like the Word of God says, Go Is the I AM and His people prove He exists.

    COMING SOON TO A NATION NEAR YOU

    (Psalms 83 [AKJV/PCE])
    KEEP not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
    For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
    Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: Which perished at En-dor: they became as dung for the earth. Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord. Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

    THE DESTRUCTION OF SYRIA, SOON AND SUDDENLY

    (Isaiah 17:1 [AKJV/PCE])
    THE burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the Lord of hosts. And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean. And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
    ¶ Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the Lord God of Israel. At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel. And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images. ¶ In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation. Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips: In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow. ¶ Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

    THE CONFEDERACY AGAINST ISRAEL IN THE LAST DAYS

    (Ezekiel 38 [AKJV/PCE])
    AND the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour , even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. ¶ After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. Thus saith the Lord God; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? ¶ Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. Thus saith the Lord God; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face. For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man’s sword shall be against his brother. And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

    This will be repeated later on, but the identification of these nations are:

    1. Meshech, Gog, Tubal-all now Russians, Tubal being now much of Turkey also, Meshech is also parts of modern Turkey. The tribe of Magog are the Scythians, today the Russians. The wall of China, when it was being built, was called in ancient records, "The Wall of Magog"
    2. Persia, Elam are today Iran
    3. Egypt Syria Iraq Turkey, Jordan
    4. Cush-Ethiopia
    5. Put- North Africa, Libya
    6. Togarmah-Turkey, Turkmenistan
    7. Gomer-Turkey, maybe Turkmenistan
    8. Sheba-small relative Arabian nation, peripheral, participatory
    9. Dedan-small relative Arabian nation, peripheral, participatory
    10. Tarshish-Far western Europe? Probably

    Add to that a united Europe, a revived Roman Empire under the Vatican, etc. Daniel 11:25

    -This is the end of the Great Tribulation in Revelation 17-
    - So Ezekiel is first speaking of the Russians and the Turks
    - They went to war in the 1700s, but today are closely aligned with one uniting factor-HATRED FOR ISRAEL
    - Turkey is Islamic, Russia atheistic, strange bedfellows. The hatred for Israel explains this common connection
    - The same as hardening Pharaoh's heart to not let Israel go, God will let their hatred fester so much that they are like caught fish, unable and incapable of stopping themselves in attacking Israel
    - Horsemen, swords, shields, helmets....technology now gone at the end of the Great Tribulation from war? Back to 1,000 years ago fighting?
    - Every other nation today here outside of Russia is Islamic, mortal enemies of Israel, all nations to the north, south, east, west, surround her, now closing in for whaty hope and think is the kill, the final blow
    - Israel: brought back from the sword, gathered from the worldwide scattering, to a wasteland today that is one of the largest breadbaskets and exporters of food, for decades now. FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY

    Isaiah 35:1-2
    The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.

    - So many outnumbering the people, armies of Israel like a cloud, like a swarm of locusts, like a pride of lions, like a massive thunderstorm - God will make them even turn on each other in arguing who gets to kill this one, who gets to kill that one, just like the Old Testament, like Gideon's day in Judges 7:

    Judges 7:12
    And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude....

    Later...
    Judges 7:20-23
    And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath. And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.

    - God did this for Gideon's army and will do it for Israel because He wants them to know He has their back and know that mankind, in victory, gets all puffed up and says to himself and others, "See what I just did?"
    - The walls around Israel will be then all down, probably an agreement for peace with the anti-Christ, because the world today thinks that Jerusalem is "the world's city" and does not belong to Israel God's people
    - They want the people dead and the goods and things that Israelis own stolen from them
    - Sheba and Dedan, small Arab nations, also in alliance
    - Tarshish, probably western Europe, the revived Roman empire, for sure following instructions, orders, edicts, commands from the pope at that time
    - God is telling the enemies, Gog specifically, "You will witness this happening, this safe little people you think you will destroy"
    - God will say, "My prophets spoke of this, of you coming. Remember that?
    - This will absolutely enrage the LORD Jesus Christ. He has had enough!
    - The reaction will b so intense that nature, the creation itself, the natural world will be disrupted
    - This is the same as in Genesis, but now judgment, as including man. affecting innocent nature

    Ezekiel 38:20
    So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field (cattle), and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth,

    Genesis 1:26
    And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

    - The plagues of Exodus, not returning at the last days, in Revelation, to judge mankind
    - God will magnify Himself as He alone is God, not giving His glory to mankind, making it rationally undeniable, yet denied by man in his pride still
    - They will know like now that He is the LORD-AND STILL DENY IT

    Romans 1:20
    For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -
    -

    (Revelation 17:17 [AKJV/PCE])
    For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. 


    (Matthew 16:18 [KJV])
    And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

    (Revelation 11:7 [KJV])
    And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

    (Revelation 13:7 [KJV])
    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.

    (Revelation 17:14 [KJV])
    These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

    This set of prophecies in Scripture are the two most confused by the hereticks who want to take verses in the Olivet Discourse and elsewhere in Scripture and lift them purposely out of context and privately interpret them to fit their a priori conclusion that the Rapture happens at the end of the Great Tribulation. This confusion is caused by not reading the Word of God as God intended and carefully studying it (2 Timothy 2:15), but rather reading INTO it through the eyes of man and not letting God tell us what He said, They let man tell them what they want them to hear, having itching ears:

    AN EXAMPLE OF PROPHECY SCOFFED AT: HITTITES

    For years and years, the scoffers, atheists, skeptics, screamed, "We have never found a SHRED of evidence that the Hittites ever even EXISTED!"....

    ...until they found all sorts of evidence for them in Kayalıpınar:, Ancient Šamuḫa now on display in Turkey, in a museum to the Hittite civilization in Ankhara. Why? Because they found what the Bible said was there and they said was not!

    Kayalıpınar: 56 Cuneiform Tablets and 22 Seal Impressions Found

    and...

    "Archaeologists have uncovered 27 cuneiform tablets during ongoing excavations at Oymaagac Hoyuk/Nerik in Vezirkopru, Samsun, revealing crucial information about the Hittite sacred city of Nerik."

    This is precisely why archaeologists take the Word of God and traipse all over the areas therein and find after looking whatt he Bible says they will find, every time.

    ANOTHER "PROBLEM" ACTS 13

    Acts 13:7
    Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.

    Skeptics: "This is an error! deputy=anthupatos=proconsul This is the island of Cyprus. There was never in history any indication in history that the governor in Cyprus had that dignity. He was not an anthupatos! You could not use that title, the Bible is wrong!"

    First off, they do not speak Koine Greek, as no one does.
    So this was OK anyways for them as it was,,,,...until.......they dug up a coin from the reign of Claudius Caesar which showed that indeed, Claudius Caesar had conferred that title upon Sergius Paulus.

    Truth: sergius paulus

    2 Timothy 4:3
    For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

    These are men (and women) who do not want you to know what God actually said in His Word and do not want you to read and study it carefully, doing as all false prophets do, false teachers do who abound today, as prophesied. This was even in Paul's day and continues to today.

    II Thessalonians
    NOW we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 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.
    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; 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. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
    For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
    And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
    Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

    -The saints even back then thought that the rapture had come and they were in the Great Tribulation because of the intensity of the persecution going on.
    -When Paul said, "nor by letter as from us", he meant that he was exposing and correcting those who were taking his epistles, rewriting them and releasing them as his, in order to change doctrines like this, and many others, such as the Deity of Jesus Christ, the Gospel of our salvation, etc.
    -In fact, as today, we can be sure that this persecution was so bad then, as today in many places, that they did not even need a letter, edited or not, to tell them about the last days, as they thought that they were in them. They merely needed to read Paul's epistles to them and the Word of God. Much more so today.
    -The Day of Christ is the Day of the LORD, the day God's Holy Wrath upon mankind, satan, the anti-Christ and his earthly, temporary, anti-Christ kingdom.
    -Step one is the Laodicean church, the apostasy, the falling away, which we are now in. YOU ARE HERE
    -Great delusion among religious people, doing false miracles today, deceiving many, calling for "peace and unity of all faiths!", all not even saved and "Christian" leaders who write books, hold huge conferences, are on radio and TV, have "mega churches", etc. Who are UNSAVED: Matthew 7:22-23
    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? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

    Remember now, that this is the same exact Kesus Christ Who also said,

    John 10:14
    I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

    John 10:27
    My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

    Think about that judgment day for these deceived people making believe they are Christians, faking it. They will go into everlasting hell. They were, on earth, "Upstanding Christian leaders!" who are what? UNSAVED and not known by Jesus Christ the Righteous. Same people. This is today in these last days, all over the earth.

    2 Timothy 3:8
    Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
    These are the magicians in Pharaoh's court who did false miracles. Jesus said as Paul later said, these are people who crept in quietly, under the radar, unawares to deceive IN THE CHURCH, not in the universities as atheist professors. False pastors, false apostles, false disciples of a different god, wolves in sheeps clothing who inwardly are ravening wolves. Welcome to Laodicea and the last days on earth before the Rapture.

    Here they are:

    2 Thessalonians Chapter 2:8-12
    And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

    If you are watching "Christian TV", this is what you have seen the last few decades, more and more, in front of your eyes. Like Jesus said, "DO NOT BE DECEIVED"

    One thing that anyone who is a careful student of God's Word learns is that, the more they read it, study, delve and dig deeper, cover to cover, the more it becomes very clear that there is a Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church out of this world and that this event is essential to that Word of God we study, and essential to God's Plan and shows His character, His Grace, His Mercy and consistency through that Word cover to cover, toward His people in every age.
    This is so utterly hard for any mind to grasp who does not believe and study the Word of God. It sounds crazy and, yet, there it is, cover to cover. This would include Christians indeed and their leaders, especially in America today who do not study God's Word but study the words of men and listen to men who also do not study it, but correct it.

    THE RAPTURE VS.
    THE SECOND COMING

    One of the biggest differences is in the words of Jesus Himself where He tells us that the church is never overcome by the enemy but, in the Great Tribulation, the saints ARE overcome by the anti-Christ, powered by the dragon, that old serpent, our enemy, satan himself. Only what Jesus said can be true of the church, the body of the Living Christ which has the Holy Ghost living in it. If one reads the Old Testament prophets, the things said about His Coming and His Second Coming, not SPECIFICALLY written as that in those words, you must understand that you will find it impossible to fit all of the events of the Messiah...

    -His coming as the Lamb of God to die for the sin of the world, forgiven for those who accept that salvation, sin still in the earth, forgiveness offered only

    -His coming as the Lion of the tribe of Judah to destroy His enemies, roaring, angry

    -His being cut off

    -His coming to reign in Israel over the earth forever

    -His rejection by Israel His people

    -His coming to reign in Israel over the earth forever


    -His coming at a time of peace, all normal, eating, drinking, buying, selling, marrying, giving in marriage, planting, building

    -His Second Coming at a time of war, nothing normal, total chaos on earth where earth about to be destroyed, Israel is about to be destroyed, being besieged and surrounded on all sides, worldwide famine, pestilence, mountains knocked down out of their place, islands moving out of their way, sinking from the earthquakes, anti-Christ in charge, world worshipping him, marked with his number of 666

    -His acceptance by all Israel looking on Him Whom they have pierced.

    -When people are not expecting it

    -Can be calculated by counting down the days on a Jewish calendar

    ...all into one coming of the Messiah. IMPOSSIBLE

    THE RAPTURETHE SECOND COMING
    It is our blessed hopeIt is a scary proposition, due to the fact that it is intense judgment on earth, persecution on God's people
    Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled" to the disciplesThis is not anything that can be said of the intensely persecuted and martyred Revelation believers.
    People will mock us for believing in the Pre-Tribulation Rapture"We know when the Rapture is, it is at the end of the Tribulation!"
    Sudden, unknown, unpredictable, unexpected, as a thief in the nightVery predictable, especially from the start of the second half of the tribulation, exactly three and a half years on the Jewish 360 day year, on their calendar, TO THE DAY. (see Daniel 9:24-27)
    Imminent, any time, nothing has to happen for it to occur, this being so from Paul's day until nowNo imminency, with many events having to be fulfilled first, in the last days and in Revelation
    We meet in the air/clouds and He does not come to earth at all, but we meet Him up in the air, there and go to HeavenJesus comes to earth
    Movement from earth to HeavenMovement from Heaven to earth
    Jesus comes FOR us to take us up thereJesus comes WITH us, meaning we had to be already taken up there!
    Jesus comes FOR usJesus comes WITH us
    Jesus comes FOR His bride, His saints, and takes us from earth to heavenJesus comes WITH His bride from heaven to earth to save Israel from her enemies. We know this because He said so. In many places and here is one:

    Zechariah 12:10
    And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son , and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
    Jesus never touches earthJesus comes for Israel and comes to the Mount of Olives, splitting it in half:

    Zechariah 14:4
    ¶ And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which * is * before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, * and there shall be * a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
    Time of Deliverance Time of Judgment
    Hidden/SecretVisible to the entire world's eyes
    Saints removed; sinners remain on earthSinners removed; saints remain on earth
    Dead in Christ, living in Christ resurrectedBeheaded/martyred saints' bodies of The Great Tribulation are not resurrected until after the Millennial Kingdom
    The twinkling of an eye speed, faster than a blink of an eye and done invisiblyComing on horses galloping, trotting, cantering, or walking, completely visible and terrifying to the evil on earth
    Glorified bodies given to allFleshly bodies enter millennial kingdom, marry, have children, die
    Translation of believersNo translation of anyone
    Saints go to HeavenSaints come to earth
    Earth is not judged at that momentEarth is judged by plagues, pestilences, beasts pf the earth, earthquakes, fires, etc.for three and a half years, and whoever survives, then at the Second Coming
    NOT in the Old Testament specifically

    Not hard to harmonize all of end time prophetic Scripture and Scripture can be taken literally outside of the symbols, which represent real things as it isVery hard to harmonize all of prophetic Scripture, often not even
    attempted, but rather allegorized and Scripture cannot be taken literally
    Church not present first sixty nine weeks of DanielAll seventy weeks spoken of are exclusively, explicitly about Israel
    The pre-tribulation position/viewpoint does not have a problem of who will populate the millennium.Third, post-tribulation position/viewpoint has a significant problem of who will populate the millennium if the rapture and second coming occur at the same time. Since all believers will be translated at the rapture and all unbelievers judged, because no unrighteous shall be allowed to enter Christ’s kingdom, then no one would be left in mortal bodies to start the population base for the millennium.
    The sheep and the goats are separated on the earth The post tribulation position/viewpoint has a problem again trying to explain "the sheep and goats judgment" after the second coming in Matthew 25:31-46. Again, how would there be any believers in mortal bodies, if they were raptured at the second coming, who would be available to enter into Christ’s kingdom?
    Precedes, ushers in a huge amount
    of evil on earth
    Precedes, ushers in peace on earth

    Christ comes to take believers outChrist comes to judge the wicked unbelievers
    Believers taken out, unbelievers remainUnbelievers taken out, believers remain
    We are told to expect to be kept from the Tribulation

    (Revelation 3:10)
    Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
    No such promise is made, or it is ignored by those who do not read Scripture, but listen to men and read INTO Scripture
    Resurrection takes place during the descent of Christ to earthResurrection takes place after Christ arrives on earth
    Jesus takes His bride to the Marriage supper of the Lamb, which is not birds eating dead bodies of kings and captains and mighty men, but a feast with real food and great communion.

    (Revelation 19:7)
    Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
    Jesus comes to judge the earth to establish His Kingdom, the great supper is of the dead bodies for every bird that flies and eats flesh to come:

    (Revelation 19:17-18)
    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; 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.
    Jesus gives a shout and the trump of God sounds suddenly, no white horseNo shout, no trumpet, just arrival on a white horse of Jesus with His saints
    Comfort, hope, joy, peaceExpectation of evil wrath, tribulation, intense persecution, massive amount of martyrdom, widespread war, etc.
    Worldwide deceptionDeception ends, satan bound
    Starts the Great Tribulation: two thirds Israel killed (Zechariah 13)All Israel regathered after being shortly scattered by the anti-Christ, saved (Jeremiah 23:5-8), END of Great Tribulation

    Historical grammatical (strictly literal) interpretation of Scripture and it works without any private interpretation, a violation 2 Peter 1:20Leaves onself open deception via private interpretation, allegorical, figurative, metaphorical, end times prophecies cannot always be taken literally
    Impossible to ever claim Tribulation has started, anti-Christ identified,as it cannotTribulation can be happening now, anti-Christ revealed at any time, maybe soon
    Church cannot know, meet, see or worship anti-ChristChurch will know, see, can take the mark of the beast, worship the anti-Christ, meet anti-Christ
    Israel and the Church two separate entities, peoples, always. Distinction between Israel and the Church blurred at best, confused and confusing at worst, often with "Replacement Theology" where the Church replaces Israel, God is done with Israel, a false teaching now very popular in American churches
    The Rapture relates to the ChurchThe Second Coming with the Church relates to Israel's salvation
    The dead in Christ shall rise, the living will be translated to meet the Lord in the airThe Second Coming is to earth
    The Pre-Tribulation Rapture deals primarily, exclusively and solely with the saintsThe Second Coming of Christ deals primarily with the evil, wicked sinners and salvation of Israel from them
    Chaos starts on earth, leading to the Armageddon WarArmageddon is ended, saving humanity from self destruction

    Like the days of Noah and Lot, which show deliverance and salvation from judgement. 2 Peter 2:7-9,Matthew24:37-44
    A message of terror, panic, abject fear, pain, suffering, death, martyrdom, judgment and woe Joel 3:12-16; Amos 5:18; Mal 4:5; Revelation19:11-21
    Like the plagues of Egypt, many of which are mirrored in Revelation, pouring out his Wrath, and He comes after the judgements.

    MATTHEW 24: BREAKDOWN

    Below os the Olivet Discourse in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. Here is just one of those books by itself, isolated, explained and showing Prophecy as Proof:

    -Matthew 24:2 literally fulfilled 70 A.D.
    -Matthew 24:3 is three separate time questions (destruction of temple, Second Coming, End of World)
    -Matthew 24:4, a caution that people WILL be deceived; do not be among them
    -Matthew 24:5 In our lifetime, being experienced currently
    -Matthew 24:6, Still threats of war, especially Israel/Arabs
    -Matthew 24:7, Currently globally, increasing, earthquakes should be decreasing
    -Matthew 24:8 The tribulation is the real sorrows, the precursors are really just the start; like birth pangs before birth
    -Matthew 24:9 Fulfilled in apostles times
    -Matthew 24:10 Christianity offends, always has
    -Matthew 24:11 False prophets, teachers, doctrines, apostasy (Laodicea) today, all across America
    -Matthew 24:12 perfectly describes today, which is why love separates us out.
    -Matthew 24:13 the “he that shall endure” is obviously all believers
    -Matthew 24:14 Never fulfilled yet, so during the Great Tribulation
    -Matthew 24:15 Anti-Christ repeats Antiochus Epiphanes abomination in THE TEMPLE(obviously rebuilt and standing then)
    -Matthew 24:Verses 16-22, The Great Tribulation, lasts 3.5 years (Daniel 9:24 -27)
    -Matthew 24:Verses 23-24, warnings against following false Christs., increases in false miracles, occult practices today
    -Matthew 24:25………consider yourself warned…..
    -Matthew 24:26 is an admonition that some will make false claims about the Christ being on earth (secretly)-DON'T FALL FOR IT!
    -Matthew 24:27, 28, Second Coming, and death and destruction of the anti-Christ’s kingdom so obvious that all will know and see it, making it meaningless to tell anyone that Jesus Christ has arrived
    -Matthew 24:29-31, signs in the heavens during Tribulation, marking the return of Christ, then Jesus Christ's return itself
    -Matthew 24:32-35……..ISRAEL…………..and God’s faithful preservation of Scripture
    -Matthew 24:36 The Rapture, “no man knoweth” as opposed to Daniel 9:24-27, Revelation
    -Matthew 24:37-39, days of Noah, business as usual, must accept Flood account to accept future (2 Peter 3:3-7)
    -Matthew 24:40-42, the Rapture, obviously, (one taken one left, unknown time)
    -Matthew 24:43-44, repeats one cannot determine the Rapture, with a repeat admonition to get saved
    -Matthew 24: 45-47, the Good Servant knows that he cannot know the time, but is prepared nonetheless at any time, expecting the arrival
    -Matthew 24:48-51, the unprepared bad servant knows that he cannot know, but does not care, and will be judged for it


    THE OLIVET DISCOURSE

    The Old Testament tabernacle itself prophesied of the Gospel, pointing forward...
    Hebrews chapter nine goes over this, the Tabernacle contents ,the veil and the second veil for the high priest once a year "not without blood", an offering for himself and the people. This was pointing top that day when Jesus would rent the veil in two by and at His death, finally opening the way for all of us to get into the Holy of Holies in Heaven, something that the Old Testament sacrifices was completely incapanle of doing!

    Matthew 27:51
    And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

    Mark 15:38
    And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

    Jesus sprinkled His own Holy Blood on that mercy seat for us:

    Hebrews 9:11-15
    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; 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. 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: 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? And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

    MATTHEW 24
    And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

    -------------------------------------------------

    PAUSE: He does not say, "Many will come pretending to be Napoleon, Buddha, Allah, Mahatma Gandhi, Confucius, the Pope, Martin Luther, Louis Farrakhan, Mary Baker Eddy, Mother Teresa, Billy Graham, Elijah, Moses, Daniel, Ezekiel, Hosea, Micah, Paul, Peter, James, John, etc.

    He said, "They will pretend to be ME, The LORD Jesus Christ"......PROPHECY FULFILLED NOW

    -------------------------------------------------

    And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
    Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 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. And he shall 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.
    Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    - The last week, the seventieth week of Daniel 9:24-27, verse 27, is in no way determined by the Rapture at all, but rather by the false "peace deal" between Israel and the anti-Christ -The majesty and glory of the temple expressed to Jesus by the disciples
    -The stones were completely disassembled by the Romans one after another, completely undone, because there was a rumor that the Jews hid gold between the stones. This was a concerted effort to find it. No gold was there. Prophecy fulfilled, since the ancients did not do this. They simply burned it down or rammed it with teams and large logs and after pulled the walls over with teams of horses and ropes
    -Three questions now: When is the destruction of the temple? How will people know when you are coming back" When is the end of the world?
    -The admonition and warning to not be deceived and know that many then, since then, and today, claimed and claim to be the Christ, leading many astray, forming cults of all sorts then as now
    -Right now wars and rumors of wars, also the many in the last few hundred years, world wars, regional wars, etc. None of these are THE war, the LAST war, Armageddon
    -THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION:Antiochus IV Epiphanes, a Seleucid king (ruled ca.175-164 B.C.) and slew pigs on the altar from it is assumed his god Zeus, , declaring himself God, an abomination, open blasphemy and started the dispersia which was until 1948 when God brought the Israelites home again
    -We are getting all three of the next prophecy fulfilled a lot today, more and more; pestilences, famines, earthquakes, all over the world, but this is still not the Great Tribulation, just "the beginning of sorrows", a season right before, a warning to mankind about the next event, now that Israel is back in their land and surrounded by enemies waiting for the last war: The Pre-Tribulation Raptire of the church
    -Israel, the believers are now beginning to feel the last major persecution worldwide in a way not felt since the first century, with Hitler, the Roman Catholic hierarchy, Communism, Islam ongoing the last 1,300 years but heating up now.
    -The offenses between believers and friends, families, turning people in, which happened a lot in communist countries, today in Islamic countries, soon in America
    -Morris Cerullo once said, "When we stand up here, brother, you are not looking at Morris Cerullo, you are looking at God. You are looking at Jesus"
    What did Jesus say? "They will come in my name, saying, "I am Christ and shal ldeceive many".....fulfilled by many today, in the last few decades.
    -Because of the great apostasy, as was said at the top, false teachers, false prophets abound now and are deceiving many through electronic and social media
    -People today are so hateful, nasty, uncaring, unloving, Gen ____ hating Gen _____, kids hating parents. Prophecy fulfilled now on that one
    -"He that shall endure": A perfect verse for a "you can lose your salvation" heretic to take out of context. Who is "He that shall endure"? Can only be a believer, as unbeliever will be saved, eternally as unsved can be saved in this life for a time, but saved is saved eternally.
    -Read Revelation. Two witnesses seen worldwide preaching the gospel, angels in heaven preaching to the world, not happening today with missionaries, etc.
    -Then, in Revelation, the end arrives, finally, when Jesus returns to earth, to the Mount of Olives, not when He comes to the clouds to take out the church back to heaven, but to land and stay and rule 1,000 years
    -The anti-Christ, not Antiochus Epiphanes, will do the same abomination of the altar, now rebuilt in Jerusalem, slaying a pig and causing the Jews again to scatter, calling himself God.

    (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 [KJV])
    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; 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.


    -Three places, mountaintops, in the house, the field, wherever you are-RUN! RUN NOW! RUN FAST! GET OUT OF DODGE!< /li> -As was said earlier, it will be very hard for pregnant women and women with small children to flee. Cars will be electronically disabled and or dangerous to be recognized, seen driving in
    -Winter especially too cold to just travel by foot while being chased down
    -This IS the Great Tribulation, like has never hit the world before this time
    -So great that so many will die, that it can only go on for so long or there would be no one left. The days of Noah were the same, in that only eight people made it through, only they were in the ark. In this case, Jesus is the Ark, but not from death in this life, but eternal life if they are killed or not.
    -The only reason that God will end that Great Tribulation is for the elect, which will be Israel (saved and unsaved who enter the Millennial Kingdom of Christ) and Gentiles who get saved during the Tribulation and escape the anti-Christ
    -The false teachers, false prophets will do false miracles via satanic powers of the occult, today, more so in the tribulation, as is recorded in Revelation and even Paul said the enemy will appear as an angel of light to deceive
    -They were to know and even before the book of the Revelation, so we really should know now, ahead of time.
    -Jesus will not just be found walking and seen in earth some place when He arrive. In the Rapture, He does not even come to earth. so no one can say they just saw Him in the desert, in this city or that, by the ocean side. At His second coming, it will be unmistakable, in the clouds and every eye shall see Him, no one needing to say, "Just go look here or there and you will see Him"
    -Do those in a storm not see the lightning? Of course, and wait for the thunder
    -When He comes, many will be dead and die at His coming, so vultures will be ever present to eat
    -How will they be prepared to see His coming? Again, signs in the sun and moon, unmistakable that will make people go outside and look up to see what is happening
    -He will have angels gather us all up and we will come with Him on His Second Coming
    -Who is the fig tree? Why. Israel, of course, throughout Scripture. A whole other, study cover to cover, can be done on that
    -So we are in the season of that fig tree now, Israel, since 1956, 1967, 1973 and today daily, now that she is back in her land God gave her and her enemies are constantly attacking her daily and will never stop
    -This generation could be the ones post world war two who were around when Israel was given back her land by God (not the U.N.)
    -Some are still alive from then, old, dying, but still here until the Rapture
    -A promise that his will indeed happen, and that His Words will never, ever pass away, be lost in any way
    -This that Jesus does not know the day or the hours is used by hereticks to falsely claim that Jesus cannot be God as God knows all things. This is why we are never to take any verses out of context-EVER!
    -In fact and in truth, this shows that God is three individual persons, all God, all different people
    -Since Jesus does not know and is waiting to take us home, we cannot know either, which puts the kibosh on "Doomsday Predicters" and "Doomsday Preppers"
    -We know we are in the season, we know how trees work in spring and that we can expect fruit any time now, just not EXACTLY what day or hour
    -Now contrast this to the Second Coming, exactly three and a half years after the breaking of the peace agreement Israel makes with the anti-Christ to the day, or 1,260 day to the day. No need to predict or even decipher. Just count down and mark off the calendar days and wait-huge difference, no?
    -If the Rapture timing is unknown to us, like it is to Jesus, but the Second Coming is calculable, then they simply cannot be at the same time
    -Noah and his family knew it was 120 years and entered the ark. God shut them in
    -The world was warned, year after year and month after month, week after week, day after day and completely ignored every warning, denied and mocked Noah and said, "Where is the promise of this flood you speak of? It has never rained and we do not see any flood coming.
    -Until it was too late and tyhe ark door was closed
    -The same will be at the rapture for many but God, in His mercy and grace, will save some Gentiles and some Jews up to, until and even at the end of the Great Tribulation
    -The other thing is that, just exactly like today, the world was "eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage"until that very day
    -They "knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. "
    -Because they did not want to know or hear any more about it. If God did not protect Noah and his family, they certainly would have been murdered
    -Back to the Rapture, where one is left behind, one taken.
    -How do we know? The next verse says, "all be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. "
    -That means the event spoken of here is hidden and unknown, unlike the Second Coming which can be numbered to the exact day.
    -The application to the unbeliever is to "Get saved because you are waiting to see Jesus and THEN you will believe in Him", except that will not work
    -Why? Because He wil come as a thief in the night, secretly and if you were not watching for him, you will get broken into
    -And again the reference to the Rapture, the secreting away of the church, "Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. "
    -That is not possible when you are on day 1,259 of 1,260 and know that tomorrow He comes to save Israel
    -The rest if another reference to one servant who is watching and one who is not, and then the judgment day and casting into hell for those who are not paying attention

    Mark 13
    And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. And the gospel must first be published among all nations. But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Jude aea flee to the mountains: And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

    -As in the other gospels, the glorying over the temple of God built by Israel
    -Again the prophecy recorded of the destruction of the temple in 70 A.D.
    -Jews seek a sign, the Greeks seek wisdom:

    (1 Corinthians 1:22 [KJV])
    For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

    This is for many reasons, such as God gave them signs, they always asked for them and, in their mind, "Seeing is believing". For the Christian now in the Church Age, "Believing is seeing"
    -Thew destruction of the temple is all that Mark recorded here, as thoroughness in other accounts is in Luke and Matthew, God being God is allowed to restate anything He wants and way He wants, and without contradiction. The Old Testament was revealed in the New Testament and the New Testament was concealed in the Old, little by little revealed. So Mark wrote what He was told by the Holy Ghost The Rapture and Second Coming were not recorded but, we know he knew about them being at the Olivet Discourse with them
    -The repeatedly recorded warning is to not be deceived, Jesus knowing that this is easy to be, then, even more now in these last days in the church of Laodicea
    -Just think about the last 2,000 years, from then to now, starting with just two to name some, Menahem ben Jude ah, Moses of Crete.
    -Recently, Benjamin Creme, David Koresh, the popes, all founders of the cults, New Age philosophers, etc. The list is extensive and never ending with many followers
    -This even included Adolf Hitler and his Third Reich, which was to annihilate all Jews and bring in his kingdom. Many viewed him as a messiah
    -This is another prophecy fulfilled which was made by Jesus
    -We have had wars and rumours of wars for over a century now, and heating up, but none will be the final battle, because that is at the end of the Great Tribulation
    -One big battle may break out, probably so, right after the Rapture of the church to start the Great Tribulation, seven year period, -This will be because of the panic caused by so many suddenly disappearing, like drivers of vehicles, pilots, people speaking in front of crowds, etc.
    -This war will be so harsh that it will force Israel and the nations to look for a peace maker, for a peace treaty.
    -The earthquakes, famines, all sorts of troubles, manmade pandemics (Plan-demics, think COVID), are rampant today, but we have not seen the worst of any of it
    -"But take heed to yourselves" is back to them directly, the apostles, then
    -They were delivered up to councils, the Sanhedrin in Acts, before Caesars, before rulers, kings, governors such as Felix, etc., for preaching the gospel
    -A break: The reason is because the Gospel must go out to all nations via them being scattered from Jerusalem, Jude ea, Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

    Acts 1:8
    But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Jude aea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.


    -Same command to rely on the Holy Ghost for words Jesus will give them
    -The betrayal is an ongoing thing from their time until now, people giving believers up to any authority hunting them down until now in the Roman Empire, Muslim, Communist, Socialist countries
    -"but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." This is a section taken out of context to "justify" falsely works salvation
    -It means that anyone left at the end of the Tribulation will be spared when the anti-Christ is destroyed by the coming of Jesus Christ to earth. It can also refer to the eternally secure as those are the only ones who will be able to endure to the end. The Jews left will be spared as Jesus Christ will land on the Mount of Olives, save Israel, and rule for a thousand years with the elders before the Throne, with us, with the Jews, etc. and any Gentiles who enter the Millennial Kingdom, surviving (enduring unto the end) the anti-Christ
    -This has nothing to do with eternal salvation, everlasting salvation. Just saved from the devil and his minions, physically is all.
    -This is what contexts (Isaiah 28) is all about
    -This seeing of the " abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) " referred to the Antiochus Epiphanes affair in 167 B.C. , to be repeated by the anti-Christ in the center of the Tribulation
    - In 167 B.C. Antiochus IV, or Antiochus Epiphanes, king of Syria, a Seleucid Dynasty king (After Alexander died) took Jerusalem in 167 BC and desecrated the Temple in Jerusalem by offering the sacrifice of a pig on an altar to Zeus. Disgusting!
    - In some way, the anti-Christ will repeat this same evil deed, which means that the temple will be rebuilt by that time. With modern technology, that can go quickly -In both instances, at both times, then and in the future, the Jews had to then and will have to again disperse, be chased, flee and hide from the onslaught of the enemy
    -"For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be."
    -This is for sure the second appearance of this persecution to wipe them all out, because it says that it will be unprecedented on earth, because nothing like this has ever happened before at all
    -This second attempt is also the second to the last attempt; the last being at the end of the Revelation/Great Tribulation period, ended by God at the end of the Millennial Kingdom:

    (Revelation 20:7-15 [KJV])
    And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

    -THE SECOND COMING: -Visible to all on earth
    -All of us in heaven gathered together by angels
    -There will be believers spread all over the earth as well to be gathered to see the Christ, the Messiah, Jesus Christ, on earth, as many Jews and Gentiles will be saved in the Tribulation, as many will also be martyred, murdered, killed with beasts, pestilences, plagues, earthquakes, the swords of muslims, and these are all things that God will bring of necessity, to bring people to God, so that they seek him or make them hate God and blame Him and not themselves, refusing to repent
    -This all will be so bad that God HAS to stop it or all of mankind on earth will die.
    -Signs unmistakable in the skies, with the sun darkened without clouds, the moon red, making people scared literally to death
    -Stars, perhaps meteorites, comets etc. falling to earth like crazy all over the world, this time in larger numbers, in larger sizes, more deadly, very scary
    -This is the end of the Great Tribulation, unprecedented and all of the earth shall see Jesus riding in the clouds on a white horse, us coming with Him
    -Now they will know that it is all over, everythign is now in His Hands
    -As was written earlier, this includes angels bringing God's people from all over the earth to Him
    -That fig tree is Israel and has always been the barometer of when that season in prophecy and time is and their return to their land, their taking back Jerusalem, their being hated worldwide even by many in the church, is proof that we are in that very season Her branch is tender, nas put forth leaves and summer is near
    -Because we see all of this, WE know that summer is near now, in these last days, and there is no excuse
    -We are in that generation that will not pass, as old as they are getting now
    -Again the timing of the Rapture to start all of this ending is unknown to us, as it was to the Christians in Paul's day. They were in such persecution and martyrdom that they thought that the Rapture had somehow happened and that they were in the midst of the Great Tribulation themselves, without all of these signs given for it in these three records and accounts of the Olivet Discourse
    -For us the example is a man going away for an unknown amount of time which he does not disclose and he wants all to stay steadfast to the work and watch for him to come back. That is our job. Most of the church is now asleep to that task, that work. Let us not be that way.
    LUKE 21
    And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said, As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls. And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Jude aea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.

    -The temple God gave the design to Solomon for and Israel built
    -Jesus tells them that it shall be destroyed utterly, brick by brick (70 A.D.)
    -The question recorded and reported about the destruction of the temple opnly, not the Second Coming asked here in Luke
    -Over all view of the false christs throughout history (Nebuchadnezzar, Caesars, many today in the "church"
    -A warning to study the Word and pray so as o not be deceived, which is the only way
    -This all is necessary to fulfill prophecy, Old Testament and all of the ones Jesus is giving them while He is with them
    -Forward to the end times of what is today, now being fulfilled
    -Earthquakes increasing worldwide, in places hitherto not even experiencing earthquakes,
    -Notice: "BEFORE all these things"....the martyrdom of the apostles in Rome and the surrounding environs
    -Their testimony will be, "Sire, we torture and murder these Christians and they do not deny this Jesus they call the Christ!"
    -Jesus will give them words to say before the leaders, the kings, magistrates, etc.
    -So both the persecutions and the testimonies with their words and their lives has been fulfilled now by them in the first and second century
    -Then, as now, people will turn on their own loved ones who are Christians and turn them in-then in the Roman Empire, throughout the Dark Ages, today in all Communist countries and now soon in America
    -An encouragement that no one can resist God's Words with wisdom to argue agans them and it, no one
    -Christians and Jews, hated by all nations, then in the first century and especially today. All of the apostles were basically persecuted, imprisoned, tortured, Peter crucified upside down even, Perhaps only John died in prison of an old age

    (Revelation 1:9 [KJV])
    I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.


    -Our glorified bodies will be perfect after our death, as there is nothing that death can do to our soul, reunited in the Resurrection
    -Wait on the LORD, "Wait on me, I will return"
    -In the destruction of Jerusalem, Israel was surrounded and the city destroyed with the temple.destroyed by her enemies
    -In the last battle, Armageddon in Revelation, Israel is surrounded by her enemies in one last, desperate attempt top destroy God's people and will utterly fail at Christ's Coming when HE alone destroys them
    -"Disperse!" "Disperse!" "Disperse!" and they will in Revelation into the wilderness, as they did in 70 A.D.
    -In the Dispersia, it was very hard for pregnant women, women with small children, as it always is, especially with a huge and powerful Roman army after you
    -Enter the church age, "the times of the Gentiles", so far 2,000 plus years and counting
    -Astronomical signs are either happening in the skies today with the sun moon and stars with people counting them as prophetic but for sure in the Great Tribulation period they will be going on and many if not all will see them
    -Anything astronomical today is being used by cults or to start them such as the Hale Bopp comet cult, etc.
    -People will simply drop dead of heart attacks watching these things happen in the skies
    -The LORD Jesus Christ returns to earth to save Israel and destroy her enemies
    -Jesus tells them to look up because their help is Him, not their military, their own strength, power, will, but will come from above in heaven to earth He himself
    -We are living currently in 2026 in Revelation 3:14, the church of Laodicea

    THE END OF ALL SIN!

    ISAIAH 13: 1-11
    The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see. Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles. I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness. The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
    They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land. Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt: And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
    Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
    I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.
    Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword. Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished. Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it. Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
    And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there. But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

    This, along with Jacob (Israel), starting that all out with Rachel his wife stealing her father Laban's idols and hiding them:

    Genesis 34:17-21:
    Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels; And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan. And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's. And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled. So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.

    Genesis 34:32-35
    With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them. And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
    Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not. And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images.

    This is Judgment on Israel, God's children, God's chosen nation, God's chosen people, who left Him for idols, over and over and over, being commanded not to do what the nations God drove out from before them, their sworn enemies then as now, to give them their land He owned and owns now and forever, which He swore to them forever.
    Now add to this Revelation chapters thirteen to the end and the Olivet Discourse, the prophets, the prophetic epistles, and you get a horrific scene of death and destruction and judgment, from a Righteous and Holy, angry God the Creator on the wicked on earth. This is not even the Great White Throne Judgment after the Millennium, but also on earth before that at the Second Coming of the LORD Jesus Chris and during the Great Tribulation.
