Revelation Revealed [ The Outer Court ]

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , , , on November 25, 2009 by concernedx2

Revelation, chapter eleven, verse number two; “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.” 

We have seen the inner church which is referred to as the “temple of God” being measured, however, we now see the outer court being ordered of God to leave out.  This outer court represents the modern church that the world has fallen in love with.  At this moment, if you are a part of that “inner church,” you know exactly what I am talking about, however, if you are a part of the “outer court,” I am not making a bit of sense.  This distinction can only be made through the application of the “Word of God”.  Notice that I didn’t say through “reading” the word of God.  It can be understood through the “application” of the Word of God.  Notice also that in one illustration, I have used the small ‘w’ in word and in the other, I have capitalized the ‘W’ to form ’Word”.  I havn’t lost my mind.  If you’re only reading the word, you’re just leafing through another book.  Okay, don’t jump ahead of me; let’s deal with this issue of ”just another book.”

There is a big issue concerning taking ’sacraments’ in church.  We are told by those in church that we should not partake in the “Lords Supper” if we aren’t worthy.  Many churches substitute grape juice and crackers for this event.  Here’s the question; when do grape juice and crackers cease to be grape juice and crackers?  It is thought that if we partake of the “Lord’s Supper” when we are unworthy, we shall become “weak and sickly.”  No, no, no, come on!

Jesus said in the twenty fifth verse of the eleventh chapter of First Corinthians, “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 REMBERANCE OF ME.”  Now understand that the “New Testament” was not written when Jesus said these words.  Jesus was talking, not about a book, but a new order of obtaining the graciousness of God through the shed blood of the Son of God.  It was a New Testament; a new “WILL,”  something that is passed on to a benefactor through the death of the giver.  That bible that you fold across your breast when you close your eyes to sleep is only a copy that was written down, but child, the “TESTAMENT“ is settled in Heaven!  To be sure, the Lord’s Supper is a transition of something that began when the Children of Israel departed Egypt.  It began as a rememberance of the “Passover Lamb” that prevented the death of the first born throughout Egypt when the angel of the Lord spared the dwelling that had the blood on the doorpost.  This was established by Jesus as something no longer needing to be observed after his death at Calvary and he instituted the Lord’s Supper in its place as something to be observed till he returns for us.  All of this is to keep us mindful of the fact that he is going to come again therefore we should partake of the Lord’s Supper, however, the power of sickness and health, life and death lies in the Word. 

We need to go to the book of Saint John, chapter six, verses thirty two and thirty three.  “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.”  Here we see Jesus declare that the bread of God is “he” that God sends down from Heaven and that “he” gives life unto the world.  Now, in verse number thirty of the eleventh chapter of First Corinthians, we read, “FOR THIS CAUSE MANY ARE WEAK AND SICKLY AMONG YOU, AND MANY SLEEP.”  When the Apostle used that word “sleep,” he actually means that they are dead!  Listen to me; the grave yards are full of people that need not be there if only they had heeded the word of God!  I have seen that life prolonging power at work right in the hospital room where the doctor said that death was imminent.  I know that the power is real and I know that the power is in the name of Jesus!  I have seen hearts repaired, vision restored, head trauma reversed, and childhood desease removed instantly, and that is to only name a few. 

Chapter six of Saint John, verse thirty five. “AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE: HE THAT COMETH UNTO ME SHALL NEVER HUNGER; AND HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME SHALL NEVER THIRST.”  There can be no doubt that Jesus is the bread of life, however, we need to go back to chapter number one of Saint John, verses one through four.  “IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD.  THE SAME WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD.  ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM; AND WITHOUT HIM WAS NOT ANYTHING MADE THAT WAS MADE.  IN HIM WAS LIFE; AND THE LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN.”  Here we have it; the Word of God is the Son of God.  That is why the Father and the Son are one. 

Jesus is not so much ink upon a page nor a mark upon a scroll.  He is not the King James Version nor the N.I.V.  Jesus is the voice out of the Burning Bush; he is the instruction at Mount Sinai.  He is the thunder at Calvary and the Rushing Mighty Wind at Pentecost.  Jesus is the small voice heard by Samuel and Jesus is that tug at your heart.  Jesus is spilled over into everything and contained in nothing.  Jesus is on the loose through the Cosmos and visited Hell.  He has saw the inside of the womb and busted the tomb and now he sits at the right hand side of the Father.  Jesus is not something written down but he is that which was lifted up that he might be all in all; Jesus is the voice of Almighty God; he is the Word!

When we look at these two verses of scripture that usher us into chapter eleven, we must understand that judgement has begun in the house of God for this to even be considered.  If the temple and altar represent the true church and the outer court represents the emerging church, it would indicate that the outer court is positioned almost the same as the world.  Okay, let’s return to the eleventh chapter of First Corinthians, verse number thirty one and thirty two.  “FOR IF WE SHOULD JUDGE OURSELVES, WE SHOULD NOT BE JUDGED.  BUT WHEN WE ARE JUDGED, WE ARE CHASTENED OF THE LORD, THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE CONDEMNED WITH THE WORLD.”  Do you see that?  Right here in this section of scripture where we get the Lords Supper from, we see that the church can be condemned along with the world for failure to follow the guidelines laid out in scripture for believers to follow.  That is the judgement that puts the church in two different categories, one which is the true church which shall be caught away when Jesus returns to catch away his bride.  The other is the outer church which will be left behind after the true church is caught up to meet the Lord in the air.  This is the second three and a half years, ( forty and two months) spoken of in the twelfth chapter of the book of Daniel.    

 

Revelation Revealed [ The temple and court ]

Revelation, chapter eleven, verse number one.  “AND THERE WAS GIVEN ME A REED LIKE UNTO A ROD: AND THE ANGEL STOOD, SAYING, RISE AND MEASURE THE TEMPLE OF GOD, AND THE ALTAR, AND THEM THAT WORSHIP THEREIN.”

In the twenty first chapter of the book of Revelation, John relays to us the size of the city of God and describes the city in intricate detail.  However, in verse fifteen of the twenty first chapter, John says that “he that talked with me” had a golden reed to measure the city with.  In chapter eleven, John is chosen to do the measurements.  This implies that John has access to the temple of God and it is a place where the people worship from.  But not only is John instructed to measure the church, he is also instructed to measure the altar.  Why is this important?  Understand also that the church is not a building, nor is it a denomination.  The church is the people who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord of their lives and are following Jesus as was laid out by the apostles who knew and associated with Jesus when he presented himself to all mankind through those whom he had chosen.

Do you know that the size of the City of God is fifteen hundred miles and the city is four square?  That means that the height of that city is fifteen hundred miles, the width is fifteen hundred miles, and the breadth is fifteen hundred miles!  Let’s put this in perspective; earths stratosphere reaches approximately ninety nine miles and then we enter what is known as outer space.  Now think on this; go up to where Sky Lab is said to be in orbit and then multiply that distance from earth times fifteen.  There you have the height of the City of God.  Okay, for all those pastors who have built those massive church buildings and think they have a new answer; God is unimpressed, God already knows big.

God is not interested in the size of the church building, however, he is altogether interested in the size of the church.  What is the size of the church where you attend?  Is the number two thousand, four thousand, or is it more like ten thousand people gathered around you?  Oh, God isn’t interested in the size of the crowd gathered inside your spacious building either; he is interested in the size of that number that have surrendered all to Jesus.  Do you know that the little church that meets inside the old A&P storefront with its thirty five folding chairs might be bigger than that church where the members have to be bussed in from the parking lot?

Let’s look at the first three verses of the second chapter of the book of Second Thessalonians to find why this is important.  “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;”  There we have it; God is looking at the size of his church; not the size of the crowd; the size of the church.  That is why no one knows the day of the Lords return; not even the Angels of Heaven, but the Father only.  God is watching the church and when the church begins to fall away, (as it is doing now) the return of Christ is at hand.  So you see my Christian friend, those pastors with their “anything goes” attitudes are bringing about the end of the world!

In the twenty fourth chapter of Saint Matthew, verses twenty one and twenty two, Jesus tells us; “FOR THEN SHALL BE GREAT TRIBULATION, SUCH AS WAS NOT SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS WORLD TO THIS TIME, NO, NOR EVER SHALL BE.  AND EXCEPT THOSE DAYS SHOULD BE SHORTENED, THERE SHOULD BE NO FLESH SAVED: BUT FOR THE ELECT’S SAKE THOSE DAYS SHALL BE SHORTENED.”  Jesus is telling us that if time continues on as it is and the church keeps onward with their progressive un-Godliness, we will all end up in Hell.  However, he then tells us that by monitoring the condition of the church, according to Romans nine, verse twenty eight, FOR HE WILL FINISH THE WORK, AND CUT IT SHORT IN RIGHTEOUSNESS; BECAUSE A SHORT WORK WILL THE LORD MAKE UPON THE EARTH.”

Pay close attention to the fact that in each of these instances, we are told that there will be a time of extreme tribulation for the church.  We see then that God has told John to measure the temple and the altar and he is told to measure them that worship therein.  We know that the true church is the vehicle that has brought mankind to this point in history.  The whole church is in agreement that we are near the Lords return, but, this new movement feels as though they have discovered a better way to Heaven and we followers of the old paths don’t know what we’re talking about.  The events which have come upon us plainly declare that the old church is the right way and the newcomers have lost their way.  We find then that the true church is the temple wherein is the altar.

It was my intent to proceed on into the measurements of the outer court that God told John to leave out.  There can be no doubt that this outer court is the “Visible Professing Church,” while the temple is “The True Inner Church.”  However, God has impressed upon me to share this true story with you.

A pastor friend of mine recently received a call from an out of state missionary.  “Pastor, you wouldn’t know me but I have been following your ministry for years,” the missionary said.  “I wish to share a story with you concerning my daughter.  She is a beautiful young woman who has completely given her life over to Jesus.  She has chosen to be a missionary and made the decision that if she cannot find a man with her same ambitions, she shall never marry.  She recently returned from South America.  I so often worry about her,” the missionary father said.  “It is one thing for me to put myself in harms way for Jesus, but it is another thing altogether to see my beautiful daughter in harms way, especially with human trafficking as it is.”

The missionary continued on with his story.  “She recently boarded a plane for home,” he said.  “As she prepared to take her seat, an older gentleman approached her and asked if she would mind him sitting with her on the plane.  I suppose it would be okay,” she hesitantly replied.

The gentleman then suggested that they have their seating arrangements changed so that they could sit together throughout the flight.  The young woman became quite nervous.  “Sir, you’re making me very uncomfortable,” she said.

“There is no cause for concern about me,” the gentleman replied.  “I noticed your baggage check and I am from your hometown,” he said.

“You just saw my baggage check and are just saying that,” the young woman replied.  “You’re not from my hometown.”

“Oh yes,” the older gentleman replied, “I am on my way home and I also know your dad.”

“You don’t know my dad,” the young woman said.  “You’re just making that up.”

“I know your dad very well,” the gentleman replied. “Why don’t you just give him a call.”

The young woman called her dad on her cell phone and asked about the man that was now speaking with her.  “Oh yes, I know him very well…he is a very good friend of mine,” the father replied.  “He is the doctor that delivered you on the day you were born twenty five years ago,” the father said.  “Just stay with him and you will be okay,” the missionary father said.  The young woman and the doctor traveled together on their flight to Ohio.

The Lord immediately spoke to my heart upon hearing this true story.  I was born into this old church so many, many years ago.  I can hear my Savior whisper softly to me, ” Oh yes, child, I know this old church.  She is the one who delivered you and brought you forth on the day you were born into my Kingdom…just stay with her….you’ll be okay with her!”

Revelation Revealed [ The seventh Angel ]

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , , , on November 6, 2009 by concernedx2

Revelation, chapter ten, verse eight; “AND THE VOICE WHICH I HEARD FROM HEAVEN SPAKE UNTO ME AGAIN, AND SAID, GO AND TAKE THE LITTLE BOOK WHICH IS OPEN IN THE HAND OF THE ANGEL WHICH STANDETH UPON THE SEA AND UPON THE EARTH.” In this verse of scripture we are seeing two things that are happening at the same instant even though they are thousands of years apart.  John is taking the little open book from the angels hand which actually happened at the dispensation of grace, or the birth of the Christian church.  However, the angel which is a vision of Jesus when he steps his feet upon land and sea is yet to come.  Don’t allow this to confuse you; embrace it and love it, allow it to comfort you for this is one of the most beautiful pictures of the Omnipresent nature of Christ in all Scripture.

In the eighth chapter of Saint John, we see Jesus in a spirited debate with the Jewish Elders concerning Abraham.  In verse fifty six, Jesus said; “YOUR FATHER ABRAHAM REJOICED TO SEE MY DAY: AND HE SAW IT, AND WAS GLAD.” Here we see Jesus referring to Abraham and that which Abraham “saw” is placed in past tense.  It is so easy to be just as confused as those Jewish Elders when we don’t know the Omnipresent nature of Jesus, however, we are now looking backward into our hindsight which is always 20/20.  Actually, when this is put into context, the balance is almost the same for that day as the seventh angel is for this day….you’ll understand it!

Verse fifty seven; “THEN SAID THE JEWS UNTO HIM, THOU ART NOT YET FIFTY YEARS OLD, AND HAST THOU SEEN ABRAHAM?” Here we are seeing the response of people that are constrained by that element known as time.  Time puts limitations upon us, crushing our abilities and halting our dreams.  Jesus on the other hand is timeless.

Look at his reply in verse fifty eight as Jesus responds to their charge.  “JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, VERILY, VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU, BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS, I AM.” Notice that Jesus puts Abraham in the past tense but he places himself in the present tense.  He did not say, “I was,” he said, “I am.”  Jesus fills all time and all places; he is everywhere, and there can be no place in all of eternity that does not have a time connected to it….but Jesus is timeless.  Jesus is still there with Abraham; he is still there with you at the altar where he saved your soul.  You have moved on but Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you.  You are the reason that he died; that he may redeem your lost soul.  That is how a baby born in 1995 A.D. can ask forgiveness for sin committed in 2008, and that sin will be “nailed to the cross of Christ” over two thousand years ago.  There sin is blotted out forever and the handwriting that was against us is nailed to his cross where he who is sinless died for our sins.  Praise his Holy Name, I love him so!

Revelation, chapter ten, verse number nine; “AND I WENT UNTO THE ANGEL, AND SAID UNTO HIM, GIVE ME THE LITTLE BOOK.  AND HE SAID UNTO ME, TAKE IT, AND EAT IT UP; AND IT SHALL MAKE THY BELLY BITTER, BUT IT SHALL BE IN THY MOUTH SWEET AS HONEY.” Did you ever notice that it is so much easier to talk the talk than it is to walk the walk.  I do believe that if a pastor preaches a sermon to a congregation of two thousand, that same sermon is preached two thousand times moreover, making us all preachers.  We dissect the sermon and pick it apart, put it in our little bag of skin and shake it up until all the pieces fit our sinful nature.  Our churches are filled with passengers whom have gone on a cruise while true preachers of the gospel are laboring at building an ark. 

Verse number ten; “AND I TOOK THE LITTLE BOOK OUT OF THE ANGELS HAND, AND ATE IT UP; AND IT WAS IN MY MOUTH SWEET AS HONEY: AND AS SOON AS I HAD EATEN IT, MY BELLY WAS BITTER.”  I am reminded of a certain preacher that pastors a very large church and reaches millions more over the airways.  The fellow looks as though the smile has been glued onto his face..which in my estimation is just a little weird.  On a personal note, I have preached sermons and afterward went home and gone to bed only to see the day break without ever sleeping a wink; I know the bitterness of presenting the Holy Word of God to a sinful people.  I know what it’s like to have a congregation turn on the preacher for taking a stand for Jesus; I have been there!  I believe it would thrill my heart to see a preacher carry a bottle of the pink stuff into the pulpit along with his bible and just leave his notes at home.

As we look at this tenth chapter of the book of Revelation, I urge you to allow the train of thought held in this tenth chapter to thread its way into the eleventh chapter.  This thought has everything to do with Jesus and his church.  Jesus is not, I said he is not, is not going to share his throne with another Deity.  The church of Jesus has been washed in the blood of the Lamb of God which is Jesus.  The Apostles of Christ, through the Word of God, which is Christ, established the Church, which is the Bride of Christ,and the head of the church, which is Christ, has absolutely forbidden the church from straying from that origional foundation and doctrine of Christ.  It is not the condition of the world that dictates the return of Jesus; it is the condition of his church that shall quicken his coming.  Because of this fact, we the Church are under constant attack from within and without.  My preceding posts have been overshadowed by past Muslim hostility from history.  At this very moment while I write this sentence, the television set behind me is broadcasting tragedy from Fort Hood Texas where a Muslim by the name of Malik Nidal Hasan has killed twelve people and wounded thirty one more in a shooting spree.  The facts are the facts and nothing changes the facts. 

As we read this next verse we are going to see John being spoken to in the present tense for John at that time.  Revelation, chapter ten, verse number eleven; “AND HE SAID UNTO ME, THOU MUST PROPHESY AGAIN BEFORE MANY PEOPLES, AND NATIONS, AND TONGUES, AND KINGS.”  Okay now, let’s deal with facts and not interpretations; look at what the word is saying here.  John is not being given a new word of truth nor a new doctrine.  John was told to take the ”little open book” and to eat up that book; not something new.  This takes us back to the words spoken by the prophets of old. 

As we go to the book of Second Peter, chapter one, we are going to see that God the Father passes all authority to Jesus.  We shall see also that we have a sure word of prophesy and we shall see that it is to that prophesy that we are to pay heed.  We will see that we are to take heed to that prophesy until “the day dawn, and the day star, Jesus, arise in our hearts.  We shall see that the prophesy came in old time and it came as Holy men of God were moved on by the Holy Ghost.  We shall also see that there is no private interpretation to the word of God but a singular meaning for all Christians. 

Second Peter, chapter one, verses seventeen through twenty one.  “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 PROPHESY; 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: KNOWING THIS FIRST, THAT NO PROPHESY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION.  FOR THE PROPHESY CAME NOT IN OLD TIME BY THE WILL OF MAN; BUT HOLY MEN OF GOD SPAKE AS THEY WERE MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST.”

Revelation Revealed [ Children of Light ]

Posted in Uncategorized on October 24, 2009 by concernedx2

In my previous posts we have been getting a small amount of historical insight into the Muslim movement.  I find it interesting that the close of chapter nine of the book of Revelation is focused on thievery and fornication.  Jesus said in verse number ten of the tenth chapter of Saint John; “THE THIEF COMETH NOT, BUT FOR TO STEAL, AND TO KILL, AND TO DESTROY:”  The very first act that Mohammed performed when he ordained himself as a prophet of God was to gather an army of thugs just like himself and go on a killing spree and terrorize the world.  It was a bunch of terrorists reflecting the image of Mohammed who went on a killing rampage across America on the day that the World Trade Center fell.  Now, let’s talk about fornication; these idiots are consumed with the concept that should they die as a martyr, [that is to die while on one of their endless killing rampages,] they shall recieve, not a mansion in Heaven, not a crown of life, not see Jesus, but receive seventy virgins!  If that isn’t sex crazy, what in the world is it?  Listen to me; there has never been and never shall be not one sexual act performed in Heaven….NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!  Did you know that on this date of 10/ 22/ 09, this bankrupt nation, the United States of America, set aside money [that they don't have] to protect the rights of homosexuals under “Hate Crime” laws?  Christians, that would be me and you, are hated and despised; we are not even to mention the name of Jesus in a public place, but the sins of Hell are protected under national law?  Awhhhhh, words fail me as to the contempt I hold for such!  Let me now show you my greatest reward, my greatest hope, my greatest ambition, my greatest friend, my Savior and my King,,,,JESUS!  But now my Christian friend, what are the feelings that Almighty God holds for the virgin?  When Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God left the splendor of Heaven, he arose from the highest throne that ever shall be to come to the earth.  Almighty God placed his little earthly body in the hands of one, only one lowly little peasant girl, and there, 630 years before the birth of Mohammed, God forever honored the virgin, blessing motherhood   What a lovely name; the name of JESUS…..

I have crossed the Atlantic ocean on a troop ship in winter and, children, the vastness of that ocean is remarkable!  I have flown above the clouds that hide the earth below and marveled at the unmeasurable abundance of those majestic, towering coverings!  I have walked, ran, and driven the endless miles of highways of America, Canada, France, and Germany; I have seen some land!  I have smelled the fragrance of hope, and inhaled the renewal of life itself after a rain; I have seen the beauty of the endless rainbow that stretches from mountain to mountain.  Enter Lord Jesus,  My Lord and my God, just look at him!

Revelation, chapter ten, verses number one and two.  “AND I SAW ANOTHER MIGHTY ANGEL COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, CLOTHED WITH A CLOUD: AND A RAINBOW WAS UPON HIS HEAD, AND HIS FACE WAS AS IT WERE THE SUN, AND HIS FEET AS PILLARS OF FIRE; AND HE HAD IN HIS HAND A LITTLE BOOK OPEN: AND HE SET HIS RIGHT FOOT UPON THE SEA, AND HIS LEFT FOOT ON THE EARTH,”  Somewhere on this great earth that Jesus created, there can be found trace amounts of human decay that was once the Prophet Mohammed.  Those trace amounts will become less and less until not even they remain and it does not matter who shall carry his bloody sword nor his hopeless religion, only this Jesus mentioned here shall ever change that.  Mohammed will make a brief return at the command of Jesus and Mohammed will bow to Jesus and give account to every drop of blood that he has shed.  How do I know all of this?  Because Jesus has a little book open and he gave it to me; I have it open before me at this moment and I refer to it to know all those things that kings and leaders cannot know.  I have the sweet essence of King Jesus and the essence of very God living within me which is the Holy Ghost….and I am so unworthy of any of these, but he is my teacher.

Revelation, 10; 3-6.  “AND CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE, AS WHEN A LION ROARETH: AND WHEN HE HAD CRIED, SEVEN THUNDERS HAD UTTERED THEIR VOICES, I WAS ABOUT TO WRITE: AND I HEARD A VOICE FROM HEAVEN SAYING UNTO ME, SEAL UP THOSE THINGS WHICH THE SEVEN THUNDERS UTTERED, AND WRITE THEM NOT.  AND THE ANGEL WHICH I SAW STAND UPON THE SEA AND UPON THE EARTH LIFTED UP HIS HAND TO HEAVEN, AND SWARE BY HIM THAT LIVETH FOR EVER AND EVER, WHO CREATED HEAVEN, AND THE THINGS THAT THEREIN ARE, AND THE EARTH, AND THE THINGS THAT THEREIN ARE, AND THE SEA, AND THE THINGS WHICH ARE THEREIN, THAT THERE SHOULD BE TIME NO LONGER:”  Christian friend, I hasten toward that day, and like David, my heart panteth after God.  I despise what this generation has done to America and I loath this pit that ignorant world leaders have plunged us into.  I am not with them and I do not wish them God speed.  I long for Jesus and I wish to see his face, but I know that Jesus has something very special prepared for me before he sets his feed upon the earth and the sea.  I know this because I am numbered among those who are the Children of Light.

First Thessalonians, verses one through five; “BUT OF THE TIMES AND THE SEASONS, BRETHREN, YE HATH NO NEED THAT I WRITE UNTO YOU.  FOR YOURSELVES KNOW PERFECTLY THAT THE DAY OF THE LORD COMETH AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT.  FOR WHEN THEY SHALL SAY, PEACE AND SAFETY; THEN SUDDEN DISTRUCTION COMETH UPON THEM, AS TRAVAIL UPON A WOMAN WITH CHILD; AND THEY SHALL NOT ESCAPE.  BUT YE, BRETHREN, ARE NOT IN DARKNESS, THAT THE DAY SHOULD OVERTAKE YOU AS A THIEF.  YE ARE THE CHILDREN OF LIGHT, AND THE CHILDREN OF THE DAY: WE ARE NOT OF THE NIGHT, NOR OF DARKNESS.”  Oh my Lord, my Christian friend, does this not bless your soul?  While those of the world are groping about in these dark hours, not knowing what is happening, we know exactly where we’re at; it’s like we have already been here.  I don’t have a new message to preach, and nobody has a new message that I wish to hear!  The old songs of Zion brought me thus far and I am not looking for a new song to get me motivated.  I know that when I lift my hands to Heaven, Heaven bends and touches me.  I know that there are many today who have their little books open to scripture, but I know that there are few that Jesus has his little book open to them.  It takes the Holy Ghost to open our understanding and nothing else will do.  I know that when the church is falling away here, it is falling into formation over there.  I know that while Jesus is being ushered out of our national scene, he is being seen as never before by those who love his coming.  I know that when this world thinks that they have pushed him away,I know that he shall return with all the armies of Heaven.  And I know the greatest truth in scripture, ”Jesus loves me!”  I know that when Jesus returns the next time that his feet shall not touch the earth but that we shall meet him in the air and so shall we ever be with him.  Did we miss a step here?  No!  I said no; we did not miss a step.  Jesus told John in no uncertain terms, “WRITE THEM NOT.”  Okay, let’s move on before I blow a circuit.

Look with me at verse number seven of this tenth chapter of Revelation.  “BUT IN THE DAYS OF THE VOICE OF THE SEVENTH ANGEL, WHEN HE SHALL BEGIN TO SOUND, THE MYSTERY OF GOD SHOULD BE FINISHED, AS HE HATH DECLARED TO HIS SERVANTS THE PROPHETS.”  Let none of these modern day Doctors of Divinity even think that they are going to waltz out of their psychology classes with their degrees tucked under their arms and put God on a better track!  God said that his mystery would be finished in the way that he declared to his servants the prophets.  Listen to me; if you don’t know what’s written in that “LITTLE OPEN BOOK,” you don’t have a clue what’s written in this book of Revelation.  You simply cannot do it without the prophets; you must, absolutely must return to the old paths.  This modern church; this emerging church is a dangerous, dangerous road to alienation from Jesus and God’s precious Holy Ghost.  Bear with me a moment and we will continue with this chapter of Revelation, but it is important to see this” missing step.”

First Thessalonians, chapter four, verses sixteen through eighteen; “FOR THE LORD HIMSELF SHALL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT, WITH THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL, AND WITH THE TRUMP OF GOD: AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST: THEN WE WHICH ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN SHALL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS, TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR: AND SO SHALL WE EVER BE WITH THE LORD.”  But now before we read the eighth verse, I wan’t you to see why these verses of scripture are so important.  “WHEREFORE COMFORT ONE ANOTHER WITH THESE WORDS.”  Okay, don’t you feel better now about those visions relayed to us in the book of Revelation?  This is good; it’s very good!

We’re going to stop right here.  I have more to share with you but it could be more than you wish to digest at one sitting.  You’re on a really good train of thought right now and you might read the remaining four verses of this tenth chapter to see what you get from them.  It has been really refreshing to sit here and share these few thoughts about Jesus, about his goodness, his greatness….

Revelation Revealed [Sixth Trumpet II ]

James, chapter three, verse number eight; “BUT THE TONGUE CAN NO MAN TAME; IT IS AN UNRULY EVIL, FULL OF DEADLY POISON.”  Look at America today; no trenches have been dug, no walls have been breeched, no cannons have been fired, no ranks have fired their volley, and still, greater damages have been done to this nation during the past ten months than at any time in history!  The nation has a congress that is busy talking and doing nothing!  The president talks and does nothing!  Fox News is talking as does CNN.  Rush Limbaugh is talking and so is Bill O’Reilly and at the end of it, all we have is words.  Nancy Pelosi is talking and Joe Biden can’t be shut up!  But did you ever see such hatred eating at a nation?  America has never been this weak nor this wicked, and it all was done by the tongue!  Remember when death first entered in at the garden of Eden; it didn’t start with gunfire nor swords.  The power of Satan wasn’t in reptilian venom nor the coils of a serpent; it was in the words of a man and therein entered death.

Revelation, chapter nine, verses fifteen through seventeen.  AND THE FOUR ANGELS WERE LOOSED, WHICH WERE PREPARED FOR AN HOUR, AND A DAY, AND A MONTH, AND A YEAR, FOR TO SLAY THE THIRD PART OF MEN.  AND THE NUMBER OF THE ARMY OF THE HORSEMEN WERE TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND THOUSAND: AND I HEARD THE NUMBER OF THEM.”  We must understand first of all and above all, God’s host is not bound!  These four angels do not belong to God’s host but have in fact been bound since man was put out of the Garden.  We see also that there are two hundred million horsemen under the command of these dark angels.

There is a widely held view by many commentators that these demon locusts are a predictive picture of the rise and spread of Mohammedanism; or , of the tribulation period of the last days.  Halley’s Bible Handbook; “Mohammed (A.D. 570-632 ), in Mecca, Arabia, declared himself to  be The Prophet of God, and set out, at the head of an army, to propagate his religion by the sword.  Soon the whole army of Arabia was conqured.  Mohammedan armies, under successive leaders, swept on in their conquest.  Syria fell ( A.D. 634 ), Jerusalem ( A.D. 637 ), Egypt ( A.D. 638 ), Persia ( A.D. 640 ), North Africa ( A.D. 689 ).  Asian and African Christianity, thus swept away, Mohammedans moved into Europe.  Spain fell ( A.D. 711 ).  Then they headed on into France, where at Tours, the Mohammedan army was  met and defeated ( A.D. 732 ), by Charles Martel, grandfather of Charlemagne.” 

From this point on we are given a discription of the Mohammedan army as to why they might look like the locusts of Revelation.  This is also where I must dis-agree with Mr. Haley.  Understand that these creatures are out of Hell.  They are from no earthly country and should never be given a human identity.  This book of Revelation is not about Mohhamed and it is not about Charles Martel;  this book is about Jesus and his mission to redeem mankind!  Satan has used, and will use every person at his disposal to remove Jesus from the picture.  Make no mistake; the A.C.L.U. and the Supreme Court that gives them their power is driven by the same force that drove Mohhamed and are no less dangerous to the cause of Jesus Christ and his Church as Mohhamed ever was!  If the power of these  locusts were in the weapons of war used by the armies, the threat would have stopped at Tours France.  The power is in their “mouths,” and it is a fact that on this date of 10, 13, 09, the Nobel Peace Prize committee justified their decision to award the President of the United States of America with the prize was based on his reaching out to Muslims,and to a lesser degree, with his mission to neuter Americas role and ability through the removing of her nuclear weapons.  Don’t tell me that talk is cheap; right now, the price tag is ten trillion and growing, in monetary values while the cost to our National identity is off the charts!  This nation was less devided during the Civil War than during this present crisis wherein the whole political process is in shambles.  At this very moment, tens of millions of Americans are literallywithout representation, having been locked out along with their duly elected representatives, from legislative talks concerning “Heathcare Reform.”  This is an insult to every American serviceman and servicewoman who has ever gave their lives for the cause of freedom; it castrates the maturity, mutes the voices, eradicates the wishes, and trashes the written documents of the framers of “THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!”  The bombing of Pearl Harbor if mulitplied a hundred times over, wouldn’t be as catastrophic as that which is happening in Washington D.C. on this day in which we live!!!  George Washington, Nathan Hale, Patrick Henry, nor John Paul Jones would would ever stand for this!  God, if we could just hear the Sweet Psalmist of Israel singing the songs of Zion.         

Verses seventeen through nineteen;  “AND THUS I SAW THE HORSES IN THE VISION, AND THEM THAT SAT ON THEM, HAVING BREASTPLATES OF FIRE, AND OF JACINTH, AND BRIMSTONE: AND THE HEADS OF THE HORSES WERE AS THE HEADS OF LIONS; AND OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS ISSUED FIRE AND SMOKE AND BRIMSTONE.  BY THESE THREE WAS THE THIRD PART OF MEN KILLED, BY THE FIRE, AND BY THE SMOKE, AND BY THE BRIMSTONE, WHICH ISSUED OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS.  FOR THEIR POWER IS IN THEIR MOUTH, AND IN THEIR TAILS: FOR THEIR TAILS WERE LIKE UNTO SERPENTS, AND HAD HEADS, AND WITH THEN THEY DO HURT.”  We have just been granted through the living Word of God the ability to see invisible forces out of the pits of Hell.  That same Word also grants true believers power to tread upon serpents through the power of the Holy Ghost.  These creatures have a king over them by the name of Abaddon or Apollyon, or, if you wish to use the English name, it is Satan; no matter how his name is pronounced, that king must get permission from Jesus Christ, the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, before he can do anything!  These fiery times of trial are upon the people of God, not to break them but to empower them for the Day of the Lord. 

Verse number twenty; “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:”  In this verse of scripture we have narrowed two hundred million demon spirits that have been released from the pits of Hell down to one single word and have been empowered to put a physical face on an invisible force….”PLAGUES.”  We can also call them “statues,” or “monuments,” however, when a nation embraces brass, wood, stone, silver, or gold, and rejects and even bans the name of Jesus from all public places, child, you have an “IDOL.”

Let’s look at verse twenty one.  “NEITHER REPENTED THEY OF THEIR MURDERS, NOR OF THEIR SORCERIES, NOR OF THEIR FORNICATION, NOR OF THEIR THEFTS.”  Let there be no mistake, every baby that has been murdered through abortion down to the very last one shall stand as a witness at the Great White Throne Judgement.  None have been lost; no, not one; they are all beneath the Altar and they all shall stand.  Jesus sees the finished work.  Jesus hears the faintest cry.  Jesus walks among the fallen, the weakest of the race, those who through the devine plan of God have outrun us all.  How shall we answer when we face those accusers?  If you don’t know about soceries, ask the three year old child of almost any American churchgoer.  The church youth know more about witchcraft than they do about the Holy Ghost.  They know this because foolish parents think Harry Potter is a free baby sitter.  The real cost is the souls of the children marching in lockstep once removed from the Prince of Darkness.  How can a people be repentant about fornication when the pastor in the pulpit is having a sexual relationship with his own gender?  America’s children are being taught “safe sex” as an acceptable alterrnative to the commandments of God.  There is only one safe sex and that is in the relationship enjoyed with that one person of the opposite sex that you were joined to in holy matrimony.  Do you wish to know where that “PLAGUE” of Aids came from?

What shall we say about theft?  Muslims have a prayer room set up in the United States government where they spread sheets out on the floor to pray.  I am an American and my ancestors fought and died during the Revolutionary War, and my people are not allowed to pray to nor even mention the name of Jesus in the halls of government.  The leaders of this last days who laid their hands on the Holy Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America, swore to a lie; they have failed,they have betrayed the trust of the American people!  Even now, four Lawmakers of the Republican Party have asked for an investigation onto Radical Muslims infiltrating the congress of the United States of America. 

I am an American, I am a Christian; if this government can’t represent me as an American, then don’t represent me at all!  I have a living Savior and if the name of Jesus can’t be mentioned in the government for which the Framers of my Constitution died, then, don’t bother with mentioning nor referring to my name!  I am not with and have never been a part of those who deny Jesus, the Lord of the universe, nor those subversives whose mission is the overthrow of the Constitution of the United States of America.  There is only one God; there is only one Heaven, and if my observation of those two hundred million horsemen is correct, [which it is], then there are no less than four hundred million angels of the Most High God still gathered around those who love God; people just like me.  All of Heaven, all of Gods people, all of those angels, and even God himself looked to Jesus and proclaimed, “HEAR YE HIM!”  There’s really nothing else to say!

Revelation Revealed [ The Sixth Trumpet ]

Posted in Uncategorized on October 4, 2009 by concernedx2

“AND THE SIXTH ANGEL SOUNDED, AND I HEARD A VOICE FROM THE FOUR HORNS OF THE GOLDEN ALTER WHICH IS BEFORE GOD, SAYING TO THE SIXTH ANGEL WHICH HAD THE TRUMPET, LOOSE THE FOUR ANGELS WHICH ARE BOUND IN THE GREAT RIVER EUPHRATES,”  Here we have read verse number thirteen and fourteen of the ninth chapter of the book of Revelation.  Now we are faced with the question, who are these angels, and how and why did they get here?  The answer is found in the second chapter of the book of Genesis.

The spray from millions of gallons of water pouring over the falls drenched my hair and face, making my glasses useless.  Had it not been for the plastic rain gear, I would have been soaked to the bone.  The sound of the rushing waters was deafening as the Maid of the Mist inched closer to the base of the Great Niagara Falls.  For those of you who have never been to Buffalo New York to see the Falls, I wish to point out that the river doesn’t come out of “Dick and Janes” truck patch; it comes out of Canada.  Big rivers don’t flow out of small places.  Now we’re ready.

Genesis, chapter two, verses number ten through fourteen.  “AND A RIVER WENT OUT OF EDEN TO WATER THE GARDEN; AND FROM THENCE IT WAS PARTED, AND BECAME INTO FOUR HEADS.  THE NAME OF THE FIRST IS PISON; THAT IS IT WHICH COMPASSETH THE WHOLE LAND OF HAVILAH, WHERE THERE IS GOLD; AND THE GOLD OF THAT LAND IS GOOD: THERE IS BDELLIUM AND THE ONYX STONE.  AND THE NAME OF THE SECOND RIVER IS GIHON: THE SAME IS IT THAT COMPASSETH THE WHOLE LAND OF ETHIOPIA.  AND THE NAME OF THE THIRD RIVER IS HIDDEKEL: THAT IS IT WHICH GOETH TOWARD THE EAST OF ASSYRIA, AND THE FOURTH RIVER IS EUPHRATES.”  We see now that we have a single river that splits and becomes four rivers.  This massive river serves a purpose; it is created to water the Garden of Eden——come on, come on; it’s big, it’s huge, it’s a lot of water; lot of water! 

Okay, look at this next verse; verse number fifteen.  “AND THE LORD GOD TOOK THE MAN, AND PUT HIM IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN TO DRESS IT AND TO KEEP IT.”  Wow!  I mean wow!  Did you see the vast areas that these devided rivers compassed?  Now understand that these waters are but a fraction of the land mass of Eden.  And God is going to put this single, solitary, lonely man into that garden to “dress” it and to keep it? Now watch closely; I know that you have heard that after Cain killed Abel, he was driven out into the land “AND CAIN WENT OUT FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD, AND DWELT IN THE LAND OF NOD, ON THE EAST OF EDEN.  AND CAIN KNEW HIS WIFE:…..”  Enough said, where did the wife come from?  Allow me to read to you from the first and second verse of the fifth chapter of the book of Genesis.  “THIS IS THE BOOK OF THE GENERATIONS OF ADAM.  IN THE DAY THAT GOD CREATED MAN, IN THE LIKENESS OF GOD MADE HE HIM; MALE AND FEMALE CREATED HE THEM; AND BLESSED THEM, AND CALLED THEIR NAME ADAM, IN THE DAY WHEN THEY WERE CREATED.”  We see then that it wasn’t the generation of Adam, but “generations.”  We also see that God didn’t call his name Adam, but “their” name Adam.  And it wasn’t when he was created, it was when “they” were created.  I”m not going to offer more than what sayeth the Lord!

The reason I’m giving all this imput into this matter is the fact that life is going on all around Eden when in fact, “All OF MANKIND SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD!”  Look with me at the sixteenth and seventeenth verses of chapter two; Genesis.  ” AND THE LORD GOD COMMANDED THE MAN, SAYING, OF EVERY TREE OF THE GARDEN THOU MAYEST FREELY EAT: BUT OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, THOU SHALT NOT EAT OF IT: FOR IN THE DAY THAT THOU EATEST THEREOF THOU SHALT SURELY DIE.” 

I want to show you something really beautiful now.  God is going to have his number and there is nothing in the universe that shall prevent it.  I mentioned in a previous post that Satan in the person of Lucifer must have been at the table when the determinate counsel sat to lay the plans for creation.  This is demonstrated in the first verse of the third chapter of Genesis as we see Satan set a trap for mankind.  ” 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?”  Now, how did old “Slew Foot” know that? 

Verses two and three.  ” 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.”  We already know that Satan was cast out of Heaven and that he took one third of the angels of Heaven with him.  We also know that he was cast out into the earth.  Now watch as Satan sets the trap that will stop creation in it’s tracks in verses number four and five.

“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.”  Here we see that Satan’s trap has been set and in verse number six we see the trap sprung!  “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.”  

At that precise moment, human life was supposed to stop; mankind was supposed to have died….but something else happened; something that Satan hadn’t even considered.  The four Angels of Death that had been constant companions of Satan since he was cast out of Heaven were bound in the great river Euphrates and Heavenly Sentinels were set as we see in the twentyfourth verse.  “SO HE DROVE OUT THE MAN; AND HE PLACED AT THE EAST OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN CHERUBIMS AND A FLAMING SWORD WHICH TURNED EVERY WAY, TO KEEP THE WAY OF THE TREE OF LIFE.” 

At this very moment, four strong angels, angels of death are still bound in a place known as the great river Euphrates and they shall remain bound until Almighty God decides it is time for the sixth angel to sound his trumpet.  There can be no doubt as to the fact that the time is close at hand. 

Father God, I have sought thy face and desired thy counsel to guide me for I have no wisdom of my own.  I came unto thee empty and I have returned to these pages full.  I stand amazed that you would even consider one such as me.  May the eyes of those who read these be opened even as mine were that the will of the Father, the love of the Son, and the comfort of the Holy Ghost be on us, in us, and through us; in the high and holy name of Jesus we pray, Amen

Revelation Revealed [ Fifth Trumpet III ]

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 24, 2009 by concernedx2

JUST WHAT IS THE TRUTH CONCERNING THE CLAIM THAT THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA MADE NO MENTION OF “REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH” IN THE CONSTITUTION?  ONLY SOMEONE WITH NO CONCEPT OF AMERICAN HISTORY NOR OF AMERICA’S LEGAL DOCUMENTS COULD MAKE SUCH A FALSE  DISTINCTION!  When those fifty six honest to God, true Americans who actually gave a BIG RATS WHISKERS about America sat down and in one accord signed onto a piece of  legislation that put them in the cross hairs of Great Britian, they made mention of their wealth and of the only way it would be distributed!  First of all, look at American history and get the facts straight! 

In June of 1776, the Continental Congress made a decision to make a total break away from England and gain total independence.  They named a committee of five men to write a Declaration to present to the King.  The names of those ffive men are Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman, and Robert R. Livingston.  Thomas Jefferson, a thirty three year old lawyer from Virginia actually wrote the Declaration though the four others made suggestions.  On the fourth day of July, 1776, all fifty six men;( I mean real men, and not some cowering Constitutional Derelict,) affixed their names to the finished document.  There were no less than twenty three lawyers and at least one judge signing the “DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.” I’m just a dumb redneck but I think it might be a legal document, do you reckon? 

Did these men mention “Redistribution of Wealth?”  The answer is “yes,” beyond a shadow of any doubt!  They did not speak of bailing out jerk water ”News Paper Companies” whose only remaining value is the Sunday coupons that Americans use to offset the horrendous cost  of groceries because “America’s Banking Industry’ has stolen their money.  Not one word is mentioned about becoming a “Welfare State,” doling out trillions of dollars to sorry, lazy, indigents, who have sucked every last bit of milk from the teets of the “American Dream.”  They did not agree to purchase homes and carriages for sorry, lazy, ne’ er-do-well’s who wouldn’t work in a pie factory while twenty million illegal aliens are smuggled across open borders to do the work that these parasites refuse to do.  Here is the exact quote from that legal document which gives explicit detail concerning their wealth and it wasn’t to higher taxes to the throne.  Their wishes express that should some fall during the fight, their wealth would be distributed among those who remain that they might continue the fight against the very government that was making them slaves to the throne through such irresponsible governing.                

“AND FOR THE SUPPORT OF THIS DECLARATION, WITH A FIRM RELIANCE ON THE PROTECTION OF DEVINE PROVIDENCE,          WE MUTUALLY PLEDGE TO EACH OTHER OUR LIVES, OUR FORTUNES AND OUR SACRED HONOR.”  Back in those days, they were burning witches at the stake, so I don’t think they were talking about Gypsies and Crystal balls when mentioning “fortunes.”  They were talking about their “wealth.”  Forgive me; I know this sounds stupid but my Christian friend, we’re surrounded by idiots! 

We have been reading from the ninth chapter of the book of Revelation concerning “Locusts” that have been released from the “bottomless pit,” or Hell.  People, these are demon spirits under the command of the devil himself!  They are not bugs and a can of “Raid” and a fly swatter will not get the job done.  Listen to me; you are not the target of this onslaught from Hell.  The nations of the earth have risen up to kill Jesus Christ, the Lord of the universe.  You along with many others are only “collateral damage” in an ages long Ji-had.    I know the word “kill” is a bit harsh, however, Jesus is in the “cross hairs” throughout the world and the government of the United States of America has pulled the trigger. 

Allow me to show you some important historical facts.  This Declaration of Independence has been the inspiration for many other moves toward freedom throughout the world including the French Revolution and the revolution in South America during the 1820s.  Forty three years ago, I stood on the ground marking the spot where an army of thirty thousand Christians under the command of Austrasian Mayor of the Palace, Charles Martel faced an army of eighty (80) thousand Muslims under the command of ‘Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi.  The place was Tours France and it was there that 1,500 Christians gave their lives, but in the process, killed 10,000 to 12,000 of the Muslims, including the infamous “Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi.  There on the date of 10 October, 732, Charles Martel became the champion of Christianity by stopping the Muslim advance into Europe, preserving Christianity.  

It was Muslims that bombed the barracks, killing hundreds of United States Marines.  It was Muslims that rammed the USS Cole with a boat laden with explosives, killing many United States Sailors.  It was Muslims that brought down the twin towers of the World Trade Center, killing thousands of American workers including women and children.  It was Muslims that crashed into the Pentagon killing hundreds in the complex as well as those on the plane.  It was and is Muslims that killed and continue to kill Americas service men and women in Iraq.  It is Muslims that murder scores of innocent women and children in Afghanistan to get to and kill American Service Personnel.  For those who now wag the finger and call me “racist,” it is Muslims that are at this very moment killing ‘black’ Christians in the Sudan.  It is Muslims that even now continue to build nuclear weapons of mass distruction to eradicate Christianity from the face of the globe.  It is Muslims that are dedicated to the cause of wiping the nation of Israel from the face of the planet.  These murderous, barbaric hoards have never known nor wanted peace.  They are enemies of the Cross and the name of Jesus Christ and will never cease to war against Christendom and those who dare to serve Christ Jesus.

At this very moment as I write these lines, Muslims equal to and even worse than the murdering army of the Umayyad Caliphate are watching their national leaders present their Hellish cases at the United Nations Building right here in our own country while America’s elected leaders kneel before the throne of Satan.  A schism wider than any known to man threatens the existance of the Church in the United States and it is borne to the citizens of this great country on the shoulders of one who claims to be a unifier.  American leaders now threaten to shoot Israeli planes out of the sky if they invade Iraqi air space to strike a foe bent upon their distruction.  Such talk will not stand and if the act should occur, America will split from coast to coast!  I am ashamed; I am appalled at the impudent behavior of these in government that have betrayed the trust of the American people and her allies throughout the world.  My regrets are extended to Benjamin Netanyahu and our friends in the nation of Israel.

Read with me and understand the demons we face and the Hell we shun as we look at verses six through twelve of this ninth chapter of the book of Revelation.  “AND IN THOSE DAYS SHALL MEN SEEK DEATH, AND SHALL NOT FIND IT; AND SHALL DESIRE TO DIE, AND DEATH SHALL FLEE FROM THEM.  Here we see the mental and spiritual anguish of people who have lost all hope where life has become so burdensome that death looks far better than life.  Depression is the master of ceremonies in a banquet from Hell where demons are the patrons while those who don’t know Jesus are the main course.

“AND THE SHAPES OF THE LOCUSTS WERE LIKE UNTO HORSES PREPARED UNTO BATTLE;”  Here our spiritual eyes behold through the eyes of Saint John, the invisible army who take up residence in the visible militant enemy of the church of Jesus Christ.  John sees them as a mounted army prepared to make war with the Saints of God.

“AND ON THEIR HEADS WERE AS IT WERE CROWNS LIKE GOLD, AND THEIR FACES WERE AS THE FACES OF MEN. ”  Remember that we are seeing what John sees as Locusts but he is relating certain aspects of the creatures to us.  We see on ther heads that they are wearing crowns which indicate national rulers.  However, those crowns are not gold; they are like gold which indicates that these national leaders are in reality just cheap counterfeits of genuine leaders.  We also see that they have faces of men.  Psalms 110; 5.  “THE LORD AT THY RIGHT HAND SHALL STRIKE THROUGH KINGS IN THE DAY OF HIS WRATH.”

“AND THEY HAD HAIR AS THE HAIR OF WOMEN,”  In Bible times if a woman were to have a shaven head, it would indicate great shame upon her.  A woman with a full head of hair was expressing her glory.  These creatures had hair like a woman, giving a false impression of what they really were.

“AND THEIR TEETH WERE AS THE TEETH OF LIONS.”  Here once again we get insight to the fact that even though they give an impression of gentleness and sweetness, there is a reality about them that gives them the ability to rip and shread the hapless prey.

“AND THEY HAD BREASTPLATES, AS IT WERE BREASTPLATES OF IRON; Here we see a foe that being ever so much the aggressor, he takes a defensive posture.  This makes for a very dangerous enemy, for while it is he who causes distruction, he comes across as a victim.

“AND THE SOUND OF THEIR WINGS WAS AS THE SOUND OF CHARIOTS OF MANY HORSES RUNNING TO BATTLE.”  Here we have the sound of many horses running to battle.  Not only is it the sound of horses hooves, the noise is amplified by the sound of the wheels of chariots churning upon the ground.  Did you know that the devil is a windbag?  Don’t get me wrong; the devil can put a lot of hurt on you if you are unsaved; but Child, know this; “WHEN THE ENEMY SHALL COME IN LIKE A FLOOD, THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD SHALL LIFT UP A STANDARD AGAINST HIM.”

“AND THEY HAD TAILS LIKE UNTO SCORPIONS, AND THERE WERE STINGS IN THEIR TAILS: AND THEIR POWER WAS TO HURT MEN FIVE MONTHS.”  My Christian friend, let me once again assure you, these things have power to hurt only those who do not have the seal of God in their forehead.  Have you been sealed with the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption?  Satan cannot cross the blood and we see the time frame of five months for Satan to do his dirty work.

“AND THEY HAD A KING OVER THEM, WHICH IS THE ANGEL OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT, WHOSE NAME IN THE HEBREW TONGUE IS ABADDON, BUT IN THE GREEK TONGUE HATH HIS NAME APOLLYON,  BEHOLD ONE WOE IS PAST; AND BEHOLD, THERE COME TWO WOES MORE HEREAFTER.”  If there is any doubt in your mind concerning wrather these things are insects or demons from Hell, this should clear the waters.  Satan is a king of those who refuse Jesus.  I have chosen Jesus as my King and I had made that decision long before I stood on that battleground in Tours France where Charles Martel withstood the Muslim forces and stopped the advance of Islam into Europe.  Who is going to stand for Jesus in the United States of America and preserve Christianity as our national religion as was handed down by the Founding Fathers of this nation? 

These are the facts that cannot be disputed!  While foes of the Cross of Jesus proclaim a separation of church and state, this government is actively engaged in ushering in Islam as America’s national religion.  Battle lines have been drawn and the nations of earth are lining up for the last great battle.  As for whom I might serve, I have no choice; I am a prisoner of Jesus…..AND I LOVE IT!          

      

Revelation Revealed [ Long Established Government ]

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 16, 2009 by concernedx2

As Christians living in a Christian nation, we must understand that it is not we who have ordered “CHANGE”!  Our government did not begin in January 2009, but was established on the fourth day of July, 1776.  Our Declaration of Independence begins with strong reference made to the fact these Rights come from their “Creator” and those “Rights” are “unalienable.”  The Holy Bible establishes Jesus Christ as Creator of the universe, and  Christ is not a name; it is a position!  Jesus is in fact, “THE CHRIST,” and this document known as “The Declaration of Independence” establishes us as a Christian nation! 

The Civil War was fought over words contained in the second paragraph of this great document.  Every black person living in the United States of America owes their freedom to the “Founding Fathers” who penned the words, “WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF- EVIDENT, THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, THAT THEY ARE ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR WITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS,”  It  was and is the power of  “The Constitution of the United States of America” that makes America free, and the document derives it’s power from “Nature’s God,” or the “Creator,” who is none other than Christ,, AKA, Jesus! 

Not only do the signers of “The Declaration of Independence“  begin their declaration with firm and absolute statements that their wishes hang from a single thread and that thread is God, but they conclude with the same absolute resolve.  Even as the document begins with the understanding that it is their reliance upon God, and as a Christian people that they make their declaration, it concludes with the same assertion, referring to God as a source of “devine Providence.”  Notice that in the document that the word “Providence” is capitalized.  “AND FOR THE SUPPORT OF THIS DECLARATION, WITH A FIRM RELIANCE ON THE PROTECTION OF DEVINE PROVIDENCE, WE MUTUALLY PLEDGE TO EACH OTHER OUR LIVES, OUR FORTUNES AND OUR SACRED HONOR.”   We must be acutely aware that those Founding Fathers who signed this document as Christians, were depending upon us as Christians to support this document.    

Keeping in mind that we as Christians have honored the government of this nation in which we live for well over two hundred and three score years, let’s look at some verses of scripture which relates to those desiring “CHANGE.” 

Second Peter, chapter two, verses one through twelve reads;  “BUT THERE WERE FALSE PROPHETS ALSO AMONG THE PEOPLE, EVEN AS THERE SHALL BE FALSE TEACHERS AMONG YOU, WHO PRIVILY SHALL BRING IN DAMNABLE HERSIES, EVEN DENYING THE LORD THAT BOUGHT THEM, AND BRING UPON THEMSELVES SWIFT DISTRUCTION.  AND MANY SHALL FOLLOW THEIR PERNICIOUS WAYS; BY REASON OF WHOM THE WAY OF TRUTH SHALL BE EVIL SPOKEN OF.  AND THROUGH COVETOUSNESS SHALL THEY WITH FEIGNED WORDS MAKE MERCHANDISE OF YOU: WHOSE JUDGMENT NOW OF A LONG TIME LINGERETH NOT, AND THEIR DAMNATION SLUMBERETH NOT.  FOR IF GOD SPARRED NOT THE ANGELS THAT SINNED, BUT CAST THEM DOWN TO HELL, AND DELIVERED THEM INTO CHAINS OF DARKNESS, TO BE RESERVED UNTO JUDGMENT; AND SPARRED NOT THE OLD WORLD, BUT SAVED NOAH THE EIGHTH PERSON, A PREACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, BRINGING IN THE FLOOD UPON THE WORLD OF THE UNGODLY;  AND TURNING THE CITIES OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH INTO ASHES CONDEMNED THEM WITH AN OVERTHROW, MAKING THEM AN ENSAMPLE UNTO THOSE THAT AFTER SHOULD LIVE UNGODLY; AND DELIVERED JUST LOT, VEXED WITH THE FILTHY CONVERSATION OF THE WICKED: (FOR THAT RIGHTEOUS MAN DWELLING AMONG THEM, IN SEEING AND HEARING, VEXED HIS RIGHTEOUS SOUL FROM DAY TO DAY WITH THEIR UNLAWFUL DEEDS;) THE LORD KNOWETH HOW TO DELIVER THE GODLY OUT OF TEMPTATIONS, AND TO RESERVE THE UNJUST UNTO THE DAY OF JUDGMENT TO BE PUNISHED: BUT CHIEFLY THEM THAT WALK AFTER THE FLESH IN THE LUST OF UNCLEANNESS, AND DESPISE GOVERNMENT.  PRESUMPTUOUS ARE THEY, SELF WILLED, THEY ARE NOT AFRAID TO SPEAK EVIL OF DIGNITIES.  WHEREAS ANGELS, WHICH ARE GREATER IN POWER AND MIGHT, BRING NOT RAILING ACCUSATION AGAINST THEM BEFORE THE LORD, BUT THESE AS NATURAL BRUTE BEASTS, MADE TO BE TAKEN AND DESTROYED, SPEAK EVIL OF THE THINGS THAT THEY UNDERSTAND NOT; AND SHALL UTTERLY PERISH IN THEIR OWN CORRUPTION;”                

 As you read the following post, I wan’t you to be aware that the two youngest men to sign the Declaration of Independence were only twenty six years old, and both of them came from, of all places; can you believe it?  South Carolina.                                                                                                                                                        When the Honorable Joe Wilson, Representative for the state of South Carolina made the passionate outcry, “you lie” during the joint session of congress, that was precisely what it was, an act of passion.  My hat is off to Joe Wilson and any other American who is outraged by treatment unlike any that has been levied against the residents of this land since King George III sat on the throne of England.  It is said by many in congress that America is presently engaged in two wars, but that statement is highly inaccurate.  The truth is, America is engaged in a third war at home and that war is the one being waged against Conservative Americans, who it is assumed by those elitists in government is limited to the Republican party.  The truth that they cannot grasp is, morality isn’t exclusive to the Republican party, but is deeply embedded into the very lives of most Americans, especially the elderly.   This war is being waged by the Democratic Congress under the direction of Nancy pelosi, who stands third in line to occupy the office of President of the United States of America.

As for the GOP members of congress, duly elected representatives voted into offices established by the Founding Fathers of the United States of America to introduce a system of “checks and balances” are being barred from performing their Constitutional duties by the party in power.  This insidious practice not only hamstrings the wishes of the Founding Fathers who penned their wise insight into the Constitution of the United States of America; it also neuters those “unalienable Rights” making them inaccessible to hundreds of millions of Americans.  When I foresaw this problem which is not a ”racial” problem but is in fact ”class warfare” on the horizon, I wrote several pieces to then Prime Minister Tony Blair, concerning the matter.  He too found the matter to be of interest, and on 24 March, 1998, Prime Minister Blair had his British Consulate-General, located in New York City, send me a transcript expressing his own views of Class Warfare.  I thank God that when the world needed them the most, we had the Honorable George W. Bush and the Rt Hon Tony Blair MP standing shoulder to shoulder to face a terrible foe that this present congress regards with a higher degree of consideration than the American people whom they are elected to serve.  Americans deserve better than that!  

America is presently cradled in an illusion of false security concerning the collapse of her economy.  American automobile sales are up, brought on through the use of money that was donated by the government to the consumer.  The automobiles themselves are being built by manufacturers who continue to exist through the use of money donated by the government.  The money itself was loaned to this government [which happens to be broke] from Red China—-and only yesterday, this government bit the hand that feeds her!  It  is reported that the economy is up by eight tenths of one percent because of the “cash for clunkers” program.  One doesn’t have to be very smart at all to figure out that when you remove the money loaned by the Chinese, there is no growth at all.  At very best, Wall Street is seeing results from an artificial stimuli and the American economy is still on a free fall!  Let the government increase taxes ten thousand fold if they so desire; you cannot extract positive revenue from negative earnings.  Recovery will happen when Americans go back to work and begin buying products with their earning and not with government “handouts.”   This present Administration and this present congress needs to go on the television show, “ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A FIFTH GRADER?”  I assure you that when the American Democratic government faces those eleven year old mathematicians, they would have to look into the camera, and to a person, say, “I am not smarter than a fifth grader!”

This Health Care Reform is a night mare waiting in the wings for ‘ALL’ Americans.  Barring the unthinkable that the foolish followers of this present folly should die young, every last one of them will eventually grow old like America’s truly great wealth!  As with many of you, we  have served honorably during wartime and we have paid our dues.  We have never crossed borders into other countries illeagally, for to do so would have made us criminals.  I resent with you to the fullest measure, any idea that gives our places as law abiding citizens of the United States of America to outlaws that have broken into that which rightfully belongs to us! 

These people that dare voice their concerns through peaceful demonstrations as citizens of a Democratic society are our friends; they are our neighbors, they are Americans.  Their fathers, uncles, and brothers are burried on foreign soil where they fell, that through their great sacrifices, this present congress, this present administration, might have an opportunity to serve in what was once the greatest nation on earth.  They are not Nazi’s, they are not the mob, they are not just plain, simple Americans.  They ARE America and they are doing what America does best.  Under provisions granted to them by Almighty God and every free person and every person desiring to be free, they are putting the “United” back into our once proud name, “THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!”  These are not the president who serves from the Oval Office, but these are the very America that the president is elected to serve.  When Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Crongress shouted them down,  the Democratic congress earned this “RESOLUTION OF DISAPPROVAL“  from the people that they refuse to recognize through their own dereliction of duty. 

America watched when an unknown from among us was thrown into national fame as “Joe, the plumber.”  He worked with his hands and he got those hands dirty.  None of us will ever have opportunity to rise to national fame as Joe the plumber, however, we are all doomed to become Joe, the invisible American from the invisible party, if we remain silent….as has been ordered by Nancy The Great.

Revelation Revealed [ The Fifth Trumpet ll ]

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on September 10, 2009 by concernedx2

Without a doubt, the most fortified position on this planet is not Fort Knox, neither is it sixteen hundred, Pennsylvania Avenue.  The post of the most guarded arena by far is walked by you and you alone!  You never ask for anothers aid and resist every unknown intrusion.  This well guarded area consists of the individual position one assumes regarding his or her perspective of eternal security verses eternal damnation.  For the born again Christian, it hinges on the fact that Jesus has prepared a place for them in Heaven and they cling to it with all thier hearts.  For the Atheist and the agnostic, it hinges on the claim that there is no Heaven and there is no Hell.  Regardless of the stand one takes, he or she will guard, protect, and attack against any and all intruders because all know beyond a shadow of doubt that Heaven and Hell both exist and will one day receive their followers into an eternal embrace.  At this time I’m going to intrude into your mental camp concerning these locusts found in Revelation at the sounding of the fifth trumpet.

Lets begin with the words of King David in the hundred and fifth Psalms, verses thirty four and thirty five as he reflects back upon the plagues that God sent against Pharaoh.  “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.”  Now notice the diet of the locusts sent against Egypt.  Some say they were grasshoppers, however, the bible says they were locusts.  The fact is that they were natural insects sent against the nation of Egypt and none other.

Okay, lets now turn to Websters dictionary.  lo-cust  n. 1.  a grasshopper commonly migrating in swarms that strip the vegetation from large areas.  2. any of various cicadas, as the seventeen-year-locust…  There we have it; that’s what locusts do…they eat up vegetation and all green things.  As we look at these locusts of Revelation, we shall find that these locusts do none of the things described by the dictionary nor described by King David.  In fact, we shall find that these insects that many are waiting and watching for are in reality, an invisible army, a demonic host released from the confines of Hell to punish Gods wayward child!

As we look at this ninth chapter of this grand old Book of Revelation, I want you to look deeply into the content and see our wonderful Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  I want you to see Jesus as who he is, the Captain of the Lord’s Host!  I want you to see Satan as who he is, that whipped pup that lost his place in Heaven, loses his place in earth, and has absolutely no command over his own followers in Hell when standing in the glorious presence of Christ Jesus!

My little Christian friend…I want you to see yourself as you are in this present danger; MORE, MORE, EVER SO MUCH “MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM THAT LOVED US.  FOR I AM PERSUADED, THAT NEITHER DEATH, NOR LIFE, NOR ANGELS, NOR PRINCIPALITIES, NOR POWERS, NOR THINGS PRESENT, NOR THINGS TO COME, NOR HEIGHT, NOR DEPTH, NOR ANY OTHER CREATURE, SHALL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD, WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR  LORD.”  If there be those among us who wish to express themselves to the world that “we are not a Christain nation,” they don’t represent us and do not express  our loss.  They only proclaim their own poverty and weakness through their bad choice concerning who they have chosen to follow.

When God sent locust against Egypt, he did not proclaim a “WOE” to Egypt and it wasn’t against the whole world.  Now before we read about this fifth trumpet, let’s hear what the preceeding angel had to say concerning this fifth angel.  “WOE, WOE, WOE, TO THE INHABITERS OF THE EARTH BY REASON OF THE OTHER VOICES OF THE TRUMPET OF THE THREE ANGELS, WHICH ARE YET TO SOUND!”  People, THIS IS A WORLD THING!!!  This can only happen when the most powerful, the most wealthy, the most productive, the most blessed nation on the earth looks at the most beleaguered forms of human decadence on the globe and falls into lockstep with tyrants, forgetting that lasting security comes only through Jesus Christ! 

America was founded upon principles taken from the Holy Bible, and those principles were written into law by men who sat under a pastor in church and received that word!  Now we are being forced to live to the dictate of those who muzzle the pastor and we are demanded to embrace evil as a good thing!  Even this “end of life counseling” is a sermon preached by that eternal loser out of Hell to his ‘church’ and he’s having a rush of converts to his flaming alter.  Now hear this from someone who knows what he’s talking about!   ”FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.”  Where is the end of life in that???!!!  This is my answer to the president, the congress, the doctor, the lawyer, and any weak kneed preacher that dares to approach me with that garbage; you got to me too late, stupid!  Jesus has already come and gone!!!!

Revelation, chapter nine, verses one through four.  “AND THE FIFTH ANGEL SOUNDED, AND I SAW A STAR FALL FROM HEAVEN UNTO THE EARTH: AND UNTO HIM WAS GIVEN THE KEY OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT.  AND HE OPENED THE BOTTOMLESS PIT; AND THERE AROSE A SMOKE OUT OF THE PIT, AS THE SMOKE OF A GREAT FURNACE; AND THE SUN AND THE AIR WAS DARKENED BY REASON OF THE SMOKE OF THE PIT.  AND THERE CAME OUT OF THE SMOKE LOCUSTS UPON THE EARTH: AND UNTO THEM WAS GIVEN POWER, AS THE SCORPIONS OF THE EARTH HAVE POWER.  AND IT WAS COMMANDED THEM THAT THEY SHOULD NOT HURT THE GRASS OF THE EARTH, NEITHER ANY GREEN THING, NEITHER ANY TREE; BUT ONLY THOSE MEN WHICH HAVE NOT THE SEAL OF GOD IN THEIR FOREHEADS.” 

Don’t wait for, nor expect some mutated bug to crawl out of the ground; these things aren’t out of the ground; they’re out of Hell!  They do not eat any type of vegetation and theydo not kill; they just inflict great pain!  Did you hear those two words, “GREAT PAIN’?  These things are an invisible army and they have an invisible king over them.  There is only one who has the keys of death, hell, and the grave, and that is my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; he took them away from the devil himself when he broke down the walls of Hell for such a one as me.  Hell has no power that can separate me from the protection that I have through Jesus.  The earth has no power that can separate me from the safety that I know thrrough Jesus.  Jesus gave commandment to these creatures that they are not to harm any of his.

This then is my resolve concerning Healthcare Reform and the trash that is gathering up about me.  Levitcus, chapter ninteen, verse number thirty two.  “THOU SHALT RISE UP BEFORE THE HOARY HEAD, AND HONOUR THE FACE OF THE OLD MAN, AND FEAR THY GOD: I AM THE LORD.”  I have come to age as a man and I have come to age as a Christian.  I have been through the fire and earned my place on earth; it belongs to me.  I was rescued from the fire and Jesus bought for me a place in Heaven; it belongs to me.  I have not changed my views on morality concerning the murder of the unborn.  I have not changed my thoughts concerning homosexuality nor same sex marriage.  I still believe ”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, THOROUGHLY FURNISHED UNTO ALL GOOD WORKS.”

What are you hearing America?  Are you still seeking out the old paths of God, or have you joined the multitudes in the valley of decision?  Do you hear the voice of the prophets of old or is it the droning of Hells invisible army that is sure to be crushed by Heavens invincible King?  This much I know, the President, the Congress, and this present Administration need to stand to their feet—WE ARE STILL HERE!

Revelation Revealed [ The Fifth Trumpet ]

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on August 29, 2009 by concernedx2

I have recently come to an awareness while writing these posts.  Some fellow, not worthy to mention his name, said that authors of posts on the internet will do anything to get another “hit.”  While that may be true for him, it isn’t at all true for me.  I do greatly appreciate those who visit this site and sacrifice their time to read words that they may or may not agree with, however, I feel that the majority of my guests know Jesus as Lord of their lives.  I am mindful of you while writing and it is for that reason that I deleted the first two posts on this ‘fifth trumpet.’  It is a very difficult transition from those ‘natural’ catastrophes of the previous trumpets to this ’spiritual’ invasion of the present trumpet.  We must understand that the spiritual realm  consist of both good and evil and the happening resulting from this fifth trumpet will bring evil unheard of to the present time.

As Christians, we know that the elect of God is comprised of the people that make up the church.  We know also that people need leadership to stay on tract in any given field and for the true church, that field can be nothing other than Christianity.  Once Christ is removed from the equation there is no church.  Let’s look real quickly at First Timothy, chapter five, verse seventeen.  “LET THE ELDERS THAT RULE WELL BE COUNTED WORTHY OF DOUBLE HONOUR, ESPECIALLY THEY WHO LABOUR IN THE WORD AND DOCTRINE.”  There can be no doubt that the elder is placed in a position of oversight of the church.

This brings us to the Second Epistle of John, chapter one, verse one and two.  “THE ELDER UNTO THE ELECT LADY AND HER CHILDREN, WHOM I LOVE IN THE TRUTH; AND NOT I ONLY, BUT ALSO ALL THEY THAT HAVE KNOWN THE TRUTH; FOR THE TRUTH’S SAKE, WHICH DWELLETH IN US, AND SHALL BE WITH US FOR EVER.”  We see three things at work in these two verses.  We see the “elect lady,” which is the church.  We see the “children” of the elect lady which are “born again” Christians. Next we see the “Truth” which dwelleth in us and shall be with us for ever which is Jesus.  Now some will argue that John is writing to some woman of the era that he had known; that’s just plain hogwash!

Let’s get down to where we are living, and to the decision that we must make as Christians.  It has been said by some in powerful positions that we are “NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION.”  Now let me tell you what John, the writer of the Book of Revelation, gave us instruction to do concerning those who would remove Christ from our identity.  Second John, verses number nine through eleven.  “WHOSOEVER TRANSGRESSETH, AND ABIDETH NOT IN THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST, HATH NOT GOD.  HE THAT ABIDETH IN THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST, HE HATH THE FATHER AND THE SON.  IF THERE COME ANY UNTO YOU, AND BRING NOT THIS DOCTRINE, RECEIVE HIM NOT INTO YOUR HOUSE, NOR BID HIM GOD SPEED: FOR HE THAT BIDDETH HIM GOD SPEED IS PARTAKER OF HIS EVIL DEEDS.”  Now we know from Holy Scripture that those who would remove Christ from our national identity are beneath us as Christians and we should have nothing to do with them.  But, now know this; those that support such and assist them and bid them God speed are partakers with them in their evil deeds!  What is the church following today?  Who is going to teach the pathetic, vulgar, wretched losers of this generation that they are pathetic, vulgar, wretched losers?  They go to the spa’s and work out to make their bodies lean.  They lay in tanning beds to make their skintone more attractive.  They paint their faces and cover their bodies with tattoos to draw attention to themselves.  They kill their own young, marry their own gender, and consume chemicals by the gross to drive their sexual ability beyond the natural max. 

As we enter into the most dangerous time known to mankind, we need to cling as never before to the “fear nots” of Jesus Christ.  Christians need to know scripture, and when they do know scripture, they have the ability to read deeper than the printed page.  Allow me to show you some scripture that you know very well and when you grasp the truth of it, you will be ready for this fifth trumpet.  This story has to do with another lady in scripture. 

Mark, chapter five, verse twenty five through twenty eight.  “AND A CERTAIN WOMAN, WHICH HAD AN ISSUE OF BLOOD TWELVE YEARS, AND HAD SUFFERED MANY THINGS OF MANY PHYSICIANS, AND HAD SPENT ALL THAT SHE HAD, AND WAS NOTHING BETTERED, BUT RATHER GREW WORSE, WHEN SHE HAD HEARD OF JESUS, CAME IN THE PRESS BEHIND, AND TOUCHED HIS GARMENT.  FOR SHE SAID, IF I MAY TOUCH BUT HIS CLOTHES, I SHALL BE WHOLE. “  Most people think that this woman with the issue of blood is the story.  What they fail to see is that this woman has been incorporated into a story that is already in progress.  You will find that the story is in reality about a man by the name of Jairus that begins with verse number twenty two and proceeds onward into verse forty two long after the woman with the issue of blood has vanished from the scene. 

Okay, let’s do some deep reading by putting verse number twenty five and verse forty two side by side.  Verse twenty five; “AND A CERTAIN WOMAN, WHICH HAD AN ISSUE OF BLOOD TWELVE YEARS,”  Now verse forty two, “AND STRAIGHTWAY THE DAMSEL AROSE, AND WALKED; FOR SHE WAS OF THE AGE OF TWELVE YEARS.  AND THEY WERE ASTONISHED WITH A GREAT ASTONISHMENT.”  Okay, here we have not just a woman, but a “CERTAIN” woman who was stricken with a desease that under the law, will absolutely forbid her from coming into contact with the high priest.  At this very same time, we witness the birth of a child that has total contact with the ruler of the synagogue.  With great ease, I look back and see an eighteen year old boy by the name of Jesus of Nazareth who unbeknownst to the world, sets in motion the wheels of Grace that will run over the chocks of the law twelve years distant. 

Notice in these verses of scripture the ease with which Jesus sets up Jairus in the most important dicision between law and grace that he will ever make.  On the one hand, he will have the life of his little daughter while on the other rests his career choice in life.  Verses twenty two through twenty four.  “AND, BEHOLD, THERE COMETH ONE OF THE RULERS OF THE SYNAGOGUE, JAIRUS BY NAME; SAYING, MY LITTLE DAUGHTER LIETH AT THE POINT OF DEATH: I PRAY THEE, COME AND LAY THY HANDS ON HER, THAT SHE MAY BE HEALED; AND SHE SHALL LIVE.  AND JESUS WENT WITH HIM; AND MUCH PEOPLE FOLLOWED HIM, AND THRONGED HIM.”  Okay, now remember that this is the point where we come to the woman with the issue of blood.

The woman with the issue of blood has touched the garment of Jesus and immediately she felt the healing begin.  Verses twenty nine through thirty four.  “AND STRAIGHTWAY THE FOUNTAIN OF HER BLOOD WAS DRIED UP; AND SHE FELT IN HER BODY THAT SHE WAS HEALED OF THAT PLAGUE.  AND JESUS, IMMEDIATELY KNOWING IN HIMSELF THAT VIRTUE HAD GONE OUT OF HIM, TURNED HIM ABOUT IN THE PRESS, AND SAID, WHO TOUCHED MY CLOTHES?  AND HIS DISCIPLES SAID UNTO HIM, THOU SEEST THE MULTITUDE THRONGING THEE, AND SAYEST THOU, WHO TOUCHED ME? AND HE LOOKED ABOUT TO SEE HER THAT HAD DONE THIS THING.  BUT THE WOMAN FEARING AND TREMBLING, KNOWING WHAT WAS DONE IN HER, CAME AND FELL DOWN BEFORE HIM, AND TOLD HIM ALL THE TRUTH.  AND HE SAID UNTO HER, DAUGHTER, THY FAITH HATH MADE THEE WHOLE, GO IN PEACE, AND BE WHOLE OF THY PLAGUE.”  This woman knew that she was under the sentence of death for touching Jesus or for even being in the crowd that day.  Jesus didn’t want her to get away unnoticed and began to make an issue about it until there was no doubt that Jairus was aware that a woman with an issue of blood had touched the master.  Now, according to the law, Jesus was unclean and forbidden to come in contact with anyone for the rest of the day.  Under the law, he could not touch Jairus’es daughter, the touch that alone could bring life back to her dying body. 

Even as Jairus had a dicision to make concerning Jesus in that day, we in America have the same dicision to make today.  Only by touching Jesus can America be restored to her once lofty pinnacle of security.  We know that the doctrine being taught in American churches were the source of the blessing.  Now under American law, ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ are forbidden to call the sins by name that are stealing our wealth, wrecking our health, and killing our children.  God hates sin and God hates abortion.  God hates same sex marriage and God hates homosexuality.  So many of the things that God hates, it has been named as a hate crime for ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ to mention them by name; this is Satan still trying to exalt his throne above the throne of the Most High.  Will pastors of American churches dare to touch Jesus or will they bow to the sovereignty of Hell?

Let’s look at these remaining verses of scripture where law and grace struggle for preeminence and preachers think it’s about miracle healing.  Verse thirty five through forty one.  “WHILE HE YET SPAKE, THERE CAME FROM THE RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE’S HOUSE CERTAIN WHICH SAID, THY DAUGHTER IS DEAD: WHY TROUBLEST THEE THE MASTER ANY FURTHER?  AS SOON AS JESUS HEARD THE WORD THAT WAS SPOKEN, HE SAID UNTO THE RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE, BE NOT AFRAID, ONLY BELIEVE.  AND HE SUFFERED NO MAN TO FOLLOW HIM, SAVE PETER, AND JAMES,  AND JOHN, THE BROTHER OF JAMES.  AND HE COMETH TO THE HOUSE OF THE RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE, AND SEETH THE TUMULT, AND THEM THAT WEPT AND WAILED GREATLY.  AND WHEN HE WAS COME IN, HE SAITH UNTO THEM, WHY MAKE YE THIS ADO, AND WEEP?  THE DAMSEL IS NOT DEAD, BUT SLEEPTH.  AND THEY LAUGHED HIM TO SCORN.  BUT WHEN HE HAD PUT THEM ALL OUT, HE TAKETH THE FATHER AND THE MOTHER OF THE DAMSEL, AND THEM THAT WERE WITH HIM, AND ENTERETH IN WHERE THE DAMSEL WAS LYING.  AND HE TOOK THE DAMSEL BY THE HAND, AND SAID UNTO HER, TALITHACUMI, WHICH IS BEING INTERPRETED, DAMSEL, I SAY UNTO THEE, ARISE.”  If Jairus had followed the law, his daughter would never have lived again, but grace prevailed.  How shall America respond to this law of death that is upon her?

In the chapter immediately preceding the book of Revelation, Jude tells us in the third and fourth verses,  “BELOVED, WHEN I GAVE ALL DILIGENCE TO WRITE UNTO YOU OF THE COMMON SALVATION, IT WAS NEEDFUL FOR ME TO WRITE UNTO YOU, AND EXHORT YOU THAT YOU SHOULD EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH WHICH WAS ONCE DELIVERED UNTO THE SAINTS.  FOR THERE ARE CERTAIN MEN CREPT IN UNAWARES, WHO WERE BEFORE OF OLD ORDAINED TO THIS CONDEMNATION, UNGODLY MEN, TURNING THE GRACE OF OUR GOD INTO LASCIVIOUSNESS, AND DENYING THE ONLY LORD GOD, AND OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.” 

That word ‘ordained’ still means to be set aside, even if it should be the harbingers of hell.  Let there be no doubt that Jesus shall be in the midst, even when Hell assails us the most.  Even when the bottomless pit is opened and all hell is on the loose, even then, Jesus shall be there for the weary saint, willing to be touched.
