New Understanding of "The Great Falling Aaway"

I have been back and forth on the "Rapture", which would be better called "The Gathering" for many years. My studies have taken me from my childhood understanding of God's refinery where raw gold is processed through a series of furnaces to melt and seperate the slag, or that which is not gold is brought to the surface of the molten gold and scraped off and thrown away. After many refining furnaces the gold is pure through and through and suitable for use as an instrument to be used in God's house, because has no sin in Him and wil not allow sin to enter His home. Exactly where this original idea sprouted I do not recall but I have had that vision in my mind since I was about 10 years old. When I became older and studied the Word of God more deeply and began to meet other Christians I began to see the correlations between this refining process and the "Born Again" understanding of renewing ones spirit through the help and guidance of the Spirit of God. For once one seeks the Truth a starting point must be found and that starting point will by God's Grace be pointedly disturbing when His Spirit displays the real existing you as God sees you. When I saw the real flawed and filthy condition God saw me in I began to grow expotentially because the truth of my life was before me and the desire God has for me were very different. To get to this position I had to breakdown and seek God because I finally saw I knew nothing though my intellect and intelligence and my ability to search out the truth lead me into a darker and darker circle of lies and deception about all things. I have seen many reach this place but have not turned to God and therefore they maintain their position in an ever spirilling downward while considering their intelligence and intellect being superior because of the knowledge of this world they have gained. They do not see that there are no conclusive answers they can find only more questions. Like being caught up in a slow turning, yet powerful, vortex of water descending drain they never reach out for the life vests tied to the rock around them simply because they don't believe they can be real because they are spiritual and therefore just crazy cerebral imaginings. Sad to see someone bypass a lifeline thinking they make it to shore under their own power.

Back to the "The Gathering" of the Saints and Souls who trust in the Lord Yahshua (Jesus). I have been pondering this gathering for years and the day before yesterday I had an epipheny when I had a serious crying and shaking breakdown asking the Lord what will become of me for I am surrounded by so many problems and it was becoming overwhelming. Well, I didn't get a big boost of an answer but rather a boost of strength and committment to see it through no matter what but hours later after having addressed many of the issues before and seeing them getting smaller and smaller I was lead to sit and contemplate the Word. That Word basically said to go online and I will show you a message to calm your mind and give you confidence in my "Gathering" together my people. The message was simple and something I do quite regularly and that is to sit down with my Bibles, Concordances, Interlinears, Dictionaries search out a word.

Apostasia was the word I was given and the search was on. "The Great Falling Away" as it has become known to the modern hearer.


1611 King James Bible
2 Thessolonians 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"


1599 Geneva Bible
1 "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our assembling unto him,

2 That ye be not suddenly moved from your mind, nor troubled neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as it were from us, as though the day of Christ were at hand.

3 Let no man deceive you by any means, for that day shall not come, except there come a departing first, and that the man of sin be disclosed, even the son of perdition,".

History comes into play here when we consider King James and his interpretation. Remember that King James and England, Scotland had been going through a very tramatic period of history when we remember Henry VIII andhis desention from the Catholic church and burning at the stake and beheadings the people of England suffered during this change. After his death the protestant Queen Elizabeth I took the throne, after some confusion, of England and her Catholic cousin Queen Mary of Scotland took the throne of Scotland and tried to force catholisism on the protestants of Scotland. This did not please Elizabeth I of England and she actively tried to undermine all Mary's efforts eventually driving Mary south for protection from her protestant subjects to her fellow Queen and cousin only to find herself imprisoned and eventually beheaded. When Elizabeth died King James VI of Scotland became James the 1st of England and took the throne of England and began the compiling of the King James Bible. As a Protestant King James wanted suppress all opposition from any and all religious leaders in the country and establish himslek as did Henry VIII as the Head of the Church of England a protestant church and protestant England. I believe the King took some liberties, as is documented in history, with some of the wording being employed in the new English Bible and one of those interpretations was the the reframing of the word Apostasia into stright up Apostacy. This has become accepted throughout the years and has influenced many other Bible versions. Today it is quite common and thought that "The Great Falling Away" from the faith is what this Greek word means and meant. Not so Fast.

Greek is an inflected language, look it up, and therefore can see sematic shifts easily. As an example awful used to mean filled with awe now it means dreadful. Over time words can shift meaning depending on the times. Well, Apostacy is a word taken directly from Greek but there are many, many words in Greek that can use the same term but convey a similar but different meaning. "Apo" in Greek means; from, moving away from something near and "stasia" means spot, space or position. Depending on the context in which the word is used it can mean moving away from a formerly held position or moving from a physical place or spot.

Look this up yourself and understand that the same word is used

Timothy 2:19 "having put away" Apotheomia

Luke 4:13 "he departed from him" Aphistema

Acts 12:10 "the angel departed from him" Aphistema

2 Cor 12:8 "that it might depart from me" Aphistema

Acts 22:29 "then straightway they departed from him" Aphistema

These are just a few examples of the word Apostasia in different form meaning physically depart. The King James Bible is a great Bible but some liberties were taken here and there to influence the people that a falling away of the faith of The Church of England was biblical and therefore should not be considered (consider the times). In actuality Apostasia, the word used in that text of 2 Thessolonians 2:3 but it is also the same word used in the interpreted text of the Geneva Bible of 1599 and was there strictly used as the Greek definition states, "except there come a departing first". I believe the Geneva Bible correctly interpreted the intended meaning of the Greek word and this is Christian world changing.

Now consider the whole text Paul is conveying;

2Th 2:1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away (departure from this place) first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Taken in this context it can be seen that that this verse stand to support the verse where

2Th 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

I believe this is speaking of the Holy Spirit that enfills men and women of God and that when the Holy Spirit of God is taken out of the way then the man of sin is revealed. In other words the departure from this place must first occur in order for the Beast to be fully revealed. I think Paul was telling us that a "Rapture" or "Gathering together" will be accomplished first leaving the world without the Holy Spirit of God about them, the one that restains the evil.

James 1:16

"Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren."

Take it as you may but I found great serenity and comfort knowing the we are NOT appointed to wrath, either by the Lamb, by GOD, or by the devil.

I know this not a completed study by any means but I was compelled to write it and put it before the people who are still questioning.

Why are Christian Churches Losing Members?

I have been compelled as of late to speak openly about the current falling away from the faith of Christ in so many Christian denominations around the country. Southern Baptists and United Methodists seem to be losing fewer members than other protestant churches at a 4% decline over the last 5 years but the Catholic Church and other Mega Churches are experiencing a drop off of attendance by up to 16% over that same time period. The increase in loss in these churches is something you will hear involves many variables but I suggest that when a preacher, pastor or priest give sermons that do not reflect what the reality of the day truly is parishioners see the disconnect and ask themselves why are they preaching all this feel good stuff when the world is clearly on the edge of another World War, this one being religious in nature and world wide in scope. The time is now to teach the unblemished truth about the world around us and the signs of the times as can clearly be discerned by any novice Biblical searcher. 

Tickling the ears of parishioners with feel good preaching is just leaving a hole where the heart knows only one message and one man can fill the void and so people leave the churches because they are not receiving the meat of the banquet table but rather sugary crumbs that have no individual value to a soul trying to grow in the knowledge and teachings of God. We have reached a point in the heavenly timeline, established by God long ago, where the signs in the heavens (starts), the moon and sun are to be closely watched and recognized for the harbingers they are for the second coming of Messiah. Jesus said that no man will know the day of His return but he alerted us to the fact that we can know the Season if we but search the Word for hear the voice of truth. I believe that the time is very close to the final chapter and we need to increase our efforts to help people see that it is paramount for each individual to reassess their real relationship with Jesus Christ the Savior for it is only by the sacrificed innocent blood of Christ on the cross and the Grace of God that can save us. 

In the next few months and possibly years to come everyone will make that final decision. It is up to each individual as to whether or not their decision is well informed, through diligent searching of the scripture (as we are instructed to do) and praying or is it to be a decision that is based on the traditions of man, the knowledge of man and the teachings of man claiming to speak for God. I know that God speaks for Himself through the Bible and He leaves little room for conjecture, He speaks quite plainly and in terms that one cannot misconstrue; As you can see below there seems to be no other interpretation available if one reads the words of Christ

None of this is really very hard to understand if you read the Bible for yourself and don't rely on other telling you what you just read. It always reminds me of how the talking heads on CNN will tell you what the President just said in a speech to the nation, really, I just heard it for myself and now people on TV are telling me what I just heard because I am too stupid to understand plain English or because the spin needs to be added to keep you thinking correctly and maintain that directional process by which you are guided both consciously and unconsciously toward an outcome acceptable to the ruling parties. Churches seem to do the same thing when they tell you this is required or that is required when in fact all you have to do is remember what occured between Jesus and the thief while hanging the cross.

Luke 23:43 “Today you will be with me in paradise”

Why would the thief be with Jesus this day in paradise
unless all the thief had to do was to believe that Jesus was who said He was, no other requirement. That doesn't mean that good works will not follow your conversion, that is simply the natural outcome of taking Jesus's heart as your own but that is not one of the many requirements I have seen and heard of over the years from various Christian churches and I have been to many. Only your belief will save you.

Roman 10:9

If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Once someone understands that the Old Testament is the story of the New Testament somewhat hidden (for a good reason I might add) and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed one cannot but understand that Jesus simply put an end to all blood sacrifices, the sacrifices that would cleanse the people of their sin for 1 year, but His one time sacrifice was for past, present and future sins of mankind. There is the entire story of the Bible, God knew man could never overcome his sinful carnal nature because mankind inherited this sinful nature by blood from Adam and Eve and so man would never be able to reattain the position in the Garden of Eden we were meant for. God chose to become a man of flesh and blood and actually allow himself to be sacrificed as that once and for all innocent blood sacrifice that covers a believer with the Holy blood of Jesus, a new covering that hides the sins of man and reveals only that new covering cloak that has been washed in the blood of Christ. God loves His creation and wants to see it restored and He was willing to suffer all the pain and anguish required to spill His blood upon the Earth covering everyone. Now they just need to understand and accept this wondrous and loving gift for there is no other means to stand before God without His own blood covering your sins and sinful nature. How big a gift is that????

All people are coming to a crossroads where they get to chose where they will spend eternity.

I love God and praise Him everyday for all He has bestowed upon me but at the top of any list of the great and magnificent things He has done for me as an individual is the greatest gift of all, He loved me and you so much that He could only bring us into His presence to be with Him face to face as Abraham did by becoming the only innocent blood sacrifice that would accomplish His ends. His blood wasn't tainted by the inherited sinful blood of man and that His blood sacrifice and suffering was done to save each and every man, woman and child on this Earth, even they don't know it. The Gospel has gone out to the world and when the world hears the Gospel and either accepts it and denies it will mark the completion and the end date, 
so said Jesus;  Matthew 24:14 "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." 


Pretty dramatic statement. Do you think the world has had a chance to hear the Gospel with all the means modern technology has available to us?, I believe that day is right around the corner. 

"then shall the end come."  

Ebola, the new Normal

The arrogance of ineptitude has been on display for all Americans to see as our Federal Government Officials continually fumble during this critical time period attempting to  respond to and the potential Ebola Outbreak within our borders. We no longer have secure borders so it would seem that alone will make the effort even tougher but our illustrious leaders continue to plod along apparently not understanding the history of the middle ages and the great plague. The basic and simple concept of containing a contagion through isolation and quarantine for a minimum of 40 days is apparently completely lost on the political wizards in Washington D.C. It is hard to politicize a deadly and non-discriminating deadly microbe but they certainly are trying very hard to accomplish this.

I find it rather silly to say that we cannot isolate the area where this deadly virus is virulent because it would be mean and insensitive to the races and cause them to scatter like rabbits from a discovered warren. Why American Politicians feel we  must allow the free movement around the globe of potential carrier is beyond understanding. The rest of the world still retains some semblance of common sense by blocking travel from and to their respective countries, good for them. 

I suppose the idea that if there were a Super Wall Mart in your community that was found to have diseased and infected fruit being displayed and sold would somehow not qualify for immediate closing, clearing and cleaning to remove the threat and protect the neighborhood from potentially deadly illness because the store was located on the edge of a distressed neighborhood and would look like discrimination and hurt race relations in the community. I guess the logic is that we will all die equally horribly so it remains fair throughout the death process. 

The people in Washington D.C. just don't know what they don't know and will never admit it publicly because that may change the perception of the party so they just keep covering up their ineptitude by saying things like, "It's hard to stop Ebola" , Dr. Friedan and our protocols are correct, for today. They have known about Ebola becoming a problem since March 2014 and yet they have no idea of what constitutes real personal protective for Nurses.

Why aren't all cases in one location? Why do all hospitals have different protective gear? Why has air born dissemination been completely ruled out when clearly you exhale through your nose and basically create a steam based air born delivery system for deadly microbes to attach themselves to and float through the air to land any where?

This is getting comical and would be funny if it weren't so deadly. I see it as the Bad News Bears taking on the New York Yankees in a one game playoff, loser dies.            

The Truth About ISIS and Islam

I have been reviewing the Qur'an, the sayings of Allah and the Hadith, the sayings of Mohammad and other Islamic writings lately trying to understand exactly what they really believe. It has been eye opening and disturbing to say the least to see the entire Qur'an and Hidith are a mirror image, exactly, for the what the Bible has said about the coming Anti-Christ, or rather the coming replacement for Jesus Christ. Every detail about the Islamic Mahdi (the Islamic Messiah), which Muslims claim openly is what they desire most, is almost verbatim the description of the Anti-Christ,the Islamic Mahdi and the Biblical Anti-Christ are one and the same, check out for yourself.

The Qur'an describes the fall of Lucifer and how he became the light of the world and savior of Muslims worldwide. Everything the Bible describes about this man being the epitome of evil walking on the face of the Earth and that he comes to destroy is exactly what the Qur'an and the Hadith say is exactly what they expect and desire and the rebuilding of a one world Caliphate at the expense of all others who must die is perfectly acceptable and what the coming conflict will be about. Nimrod built a one world Caliphate as it were and God destroyed his efforts and scrambled the tongues of men. God will, once again, destroy the usurper but this time it will be devastating because the threat of Islamic Jihad to the entire world will be all encompassing and no one will be unaffected. 

Turkey and Iran are the 2 countries to watch closely as they are continually spoken of in the Bible as the 2 most egregious offenders. Some thing will occur that will cause them to join together to apparently defeat ISIS but the apparent defeat of ISIS will only be a ruse and will help usher in the New Islamic Caliphate once Mecca and Medina are destroyed (they are destroyed because the hardcore Islamist's believe they worship a rock at the Kaaba are are apostate for having oil dealings with the enemies of Islam i.e. America and the west). Once the purge of these apostates is complete the new Caliphate can openly display their hatred and desire to eliminate these infidels by chopping off heads if they will not submit. Islam means submission.

Yes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob perfectly describes this end-time religion and its followers to the point one cannot turn away and say the Bible isn't clear on the subject, it is abundantly clear and if one reads the Bible with the notion that the entire end-times civilization will be harassed to the death by this evil Satanic religion. Read it for yourself and see if the Bible does not clearly identify this current situation facing the people of the world.

This has all led me to a question I just could not answer for myself, which is why the current White House Administration will never say openly that America is at war with extremist Islamic Militants and Terrorists. The Fort Hood shooting is still considered to be workplace violence, the beheading in Oklahoma is also considered to be workplace violence, the war with ISIS is not a war with Islam but with crazies now why would that be. I researched what exactly makes an apostate in Islam and one thing I found enlightening was the fact that no Muslim leader of any country anywhere will every declare a war on a group of believers who have declared Holy Jihad, this is a grave decision and one that would lead to the announcement that such a leader is now apostate and must be removed and beheaded. 

I believe our President is a Muslim and He will never do anything to hamper the goals of Holy Jihad and the World Wide Caliphate. Pull out of Iraq, prepare to pull out of Afghanistan, help overthrow Libya, help overthrow Egypt, totally support the Islamic Spring Movement around the world, give 5 top generals back to Al-Qaeda for a deserter, allow Iran to make Atomic Weapons, fight against Israel on all fronts, and generally do anything to help slow and derail America's recovery from 2007 economic collapse, reduce America's military power, create debt to the tune of 8 Billion dollars a week and refuse to do something smart like approve the pipeline. This all looks like someone who says one thing to the American people but continually tries to hamper American efforts to maintain a leading position in the world. 

Look closely and you will see that the Islamic world view is one of world wide control and believers will lie, cheat and do anything (all according to the saying of Allah and Mohammad) to help the cause, including American Presidents.  

The Science of Quantum Physics Proves Intelligent Design at Nanoscale (meaning it is everywhere and in everything)

"How can nothing added to nothing explode into everything?" Really?

Mathematicians and scientists seemed to ignore a simple equation familiar to all grammar school children: 0 + 0 = 0

For the Big Bang Theory to work, this always-true equation had to be false—at least once—and if this basic equation is unreliable, so is the rest of the math used to prove the Big Bang.

Phi is a mathematical constant found in everything in the natural world and universe expressed as 1.618 also called the Golden Ratio. It's existence is fact and can be seen at the Quantum Physics Level which is a branch of physics which deals with physical phenomena of energy and mass at nanoscopic scales, such as magnetic waveforms. Scientists recently discovered that the Golden Ratio of 1.618 was consistently found at the quantum nanoscale the very essence of everything.

On the atomic scale particles do not behave as we know it in the macro-atomic world. New properties emerge which are the result of an effect known as the Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. In order to study these nanoscale quantum effects the researchers have focused on the magnetic material cobalt niobate. It consists of linked magnetic atoms, which form chains just like a very thin bar magnet, but only one atom wide and are a useful model for describing ferromagnetism on the nanoscale in solid state matter.

When applying a magnetic field at right angles to an aligned spin the magnetic chain will transform into a new state called quantum critical, which can be thought of as a quantum version of a fractal pattern. Prof. Alan Tennant, the leader of the Berlin group, explains “The system reaches a quantum uncertain — or a Schrödinger cat state. This is what we did in our experiments with cobalt niobate. We have tuned the system exactly in order to turn it quantum critical.”

By tuning the system and artificially introducing more quantum uncertainty the researchers observed that the chain of atoms acts like a nanoscale guitar string. Dr. Radu Coldea from Oxford University, who is the principal author of the paper and drove the international project from its inception a decade ago until the present, explains: "Here the tension comes from the interaction between spins causing them to magnetically resonate. For these interactions we found a series (scale) of resonant notes: The first two notes show a perfect relationship with each other. Their frequencies (pitch) are in the ratio of 1.618…, which is the golden ratio famous from art and architecture." Radu Coldea is convinced that this is no coincidence. "It reflects a beautiful property of the quantum system -- a hidden symmetry. Actually quite a special one called E8 by mathematicians, and this is its first observation in a material," he explains.

Far above our heads, beyond planet Earth and our solar system, galaxies even follow the Golden Ratio. Hurricanes on earth also exhibit the Golden Ratio, which “…makes the Golden Ratio’s presence all the more remarkable,” because “Hurricanes are structures in the gravitational field of the Earth, while galaxies are self-gravitating objects in space,” writes Robert Roy Britt for Space.com.
This proportion of 1.618 can be seen in the architecture of the Parthenon of ancient Greece. Artists and architects have used the Golden Ratio for thousands of years to create visually pleasing works. Beyond this, Phi can also be found throughout nature, including the human body. For example, the human finger is divided into four sections (2,3,5,8), the ratio of which equals the Golden Ratio of 1.618. The human ear is also proportioned according to Phi.

Everything science has explored at these quantum levels of investigative endeavor have produced overwhelming evidence of intelligent design so if you still hold out and believe what you see on science tv etc. know that you are being lied to. I'd doubt seriously that these brilliant talking heads are even aware of this discovery for if they were they would, in a moment of pure intellectual honesty, have to finally see that zero plus zero does not then explode and produce everything in the universe, pure non-sensecal on their part yours if you believe in the conventional randomness and chaos of this current scientific theory called the Big Bang. God's fingerprints are everywhere you just have to look on your own and not be a lazy fool and look where your told to look.

The deception of scientific false truth is simple to achieve when you deal with simpleminded and ignorant people who only look through the lenses handed to them by others because of laziness but they flat out refuse, for no good reason, to use the lenses God gave to each of us.

The most brilliant mathematicians using the most powerful supercomputers in the world would fail to settle this question for one simple reason: You can’t use equations to prove the existence of love.
That’s what God is. That is His essence, and love can’t be dissected, calculated, analyzed or measured.

Simple Answers

I have received a few questions about my presentation of the history of the Blood Moon Tetrad in the affairs of Jews and Gentiles over the past 2000 years.  After reading and answering them perhaps I need to reiterate what these “Signs in the Heavens” mean us today is an alarm to notify believers that we have now entered a specific time when prophetical events begin to take shape and we will clearly see them if we have eyes to see and ears to hear what the Prophets have told us in scripture. These signs are merely telling us to pay closer attention, make sure you are anchored in the simplicity that is Gods gifts us i.e. Believe God as did Abraham, Believe Yahshua (Jesus is a Greek name), Believe in the Blood of the Messiah that has cleansed you and Believe in the Holy Spirit which is your direct line from God. If your anchor is true and held fast in the Truth then none of these signs will worry you but rather bring a sense of wonder and a confident smile that Gods plan is before us and it is revealing itself through the “signs in the heavens”.

The bottom line is that people, all people today are inundated with wall to wall polls, facts and non-facts, numbers, charts etc. that they are unaware that they are being buried beneath a mountain of nonsense designed to looked and feel informative and enlightening when in fact it is a tool of distraction from the truth and what truly matters to you and your soul. So don’t make your own mountain out minutia and nonsense simply know that God is revealing himself to you and the world today, which one will see it.  

America in Bible Prophecy

Revelation 18:4 – 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.”

This is so important, I hope that you will look up the Scriptures, and pray about it, before you disregard!!!!!

I know the following is a little long but certainly not nearly as long as I could have made it but please bear with me here as I am simply trying to point out what the scriptures say about end times Babylon. Search all this out yourselves and to those who will see shall see a clearer picture of the times in which we live and the country we love and call home.  Remember that it is the people who are ruling who speak for the entire nation and not individual citizens but citizens are held accountable for those whom they put in charge over them. Does Washington D.C. hold to any biblical teachings today? No.
   
Is America, the most dominant and influential nation of the end times, really not found in Bible prophecy as most Christians believe? If that doesn’t sound right to you, then you are not alone. Revelation and Jeremiah talk about a dominant end time power named “Mystery Babylon the Great” which stands in the way of evil but at the same time is so wicked itself that God judges her before the rest of the world. Sadly, there is no better plain literal fulfillment of Babylon than America today. Except…how can God judge a nation who does so much good and not judge so many arguably worse nations like China or Iran? How can Babylon be a nation when it says it’s a “city?” A leading city is still today synonymous with the nation in which it is located i.e. Washington is the United States as Moscow is Russia or London is Great Britain.
Where is the blood of slain prophets “found in her?”

Matthew 23:34-35 (HCSB) “This is why I am sending you prophets, sages, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and hound from town to town.  So all the righteous blood shed on the earth will be charged to you…” This will become more prevalent as Christians become more and more persecuted.

In the last days the Bible talks about a dominant city that is a major center of commerce that will be destroyed in one hour, Mystery Babylon the Great. The churches will tell you it is referring to the Vatican in Rome or an entire political, religious or economic system (it is all these things in one) yet to hold this view as the only answer one must ignore 98% of the Scriptures. Making this assumption based on one verse to use as evidence is folly. It can be easily discerned with a new and correct understanding of God’s Word. That is how warped the whole Vatican theory is that most churches and prophecy ‘gurus’ preach today when it comes to Revelation chapters 17 and 18. Why? Why do they want our focus on something else rather than what the Bible is really speaking of?

There is no other city or nation on earth that could fulfill these requirements other than the United States of America. There are some who hold to the view this passage is referring only to New York City. In fact, it refers to both NYC and the entire nation. The term “city” translated from the Greek means city or nation. In this instance, it refers to a nation led by its chief city, which is New York City. So in some instances it is talking about New York City and in others the nation itself. And if you’re not convinced, go back and read all these prophecies again about the last great nation on earth.
 
 The Bible Codes confirm that America is Babylon, and that the beasts coming will rule here, will be here, and will take over and destroy this country on their way to global rule from Jerusalem. Isn’t it amazing that there are over 100 prophecies that only one super power nation in the last days could fulfill and the churches tell you today that America isn’t mentioned in last day’s prophecies? This all broke my heart.


Ecclesiastes 8:5: “Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerneth both time and judgment.”

Babylon the Great is Alive

This particular subject matter has been a thorn in my side for 45 years because when I read “The Late Great Planet Earth” by Hal Lindsey in 1970 I was enthralled and yet very agitated at the same time because the Revelation to John just remained beyond my comprehension at the time and I just did not understand most of what was being said. I couldn’t understand how a book in the Bible called the revealing of knowledge was so obtuse and opaque. I did understand that this knowledge and understanding of the end times would be thoroughly understood by those who have ears to hear in the times spoken of in this prophetic book. That time is now, the signs are being revealed all around us on a daily basis but those who will never see or hear and understand the truth will simply fall to the wayside and follow the common path of destruction. This particular study will only be enlightening to those who truly seek the knowledge of God the rest of those who read this will, as they always do, simply turn aside because it doesn’t match up with what they learned through the teachings of man his false doctrines. Again, I have wrestled with this new understanding of end times prophecies for the last year because I simply did not want it to be true. When I read it and truly saw and understood the words that were spoken in the scriptures about these end times by all the prophets my understanding went through the roof and pieces of this puzzle that have plagued me for years began to fall into place and the real picture began to reveal itself. It is not a pleasant picture for America and America is the only nation on earth that fulfills all these prophecies. It is a very sad picture of self-destruction that clothed in modern reasoning where emotions rule the hearts of men and not the Word of God. This is no longer the nation we fool ourselves into believing is a nation guided by God for our leaders have cursed God publicly and didn’t even know they had done it.

Truth's Foundation Comes From GOD not Men

I want to start by saying that there was a time that I allowed myself to be lead by the teachings of modern men, priests, pastors, preachers, theologians, evangelicals etc. At the time it was simply easier for me to trust in those I thought were actually enlightened from above and teaching the Truth of the Word of God but I found a nagging doubt embedded in my heart about my Salvation. 

In all honesty I was frightened of never being allowed into Heaven. I believe in God, I believe in Jesus, I believe in the Holy Spirit, I believe in a Heaven and a Hell, I believe in Satan and I believe that Jesus became a man to show us the way home. I also believe that God does not deal in generalities and that He is always showing us in parables, parabolic imagery, contradictions and mysteries that His Truth and Teaching is black and white, yes or no, up or down with no deviations. Man started to interpret the Bible using his intellect and earthly knowledge, not because he intended to but because he allowed himself to be influenced unknowingly to deviate, in small measures away from the Truth, just enough to be almost imperceptible and sounding so much like the truth that it was accepted and taught again and again until it became the accepted truth. How true was my salvation?, Could I truly be saved?, How could I be absolutely sure that I would be one of those who stayed on the narrow path and rejected the sweet and honeyed way of the world? How could I be sure that I would not be one of those very elect who would be deceived? What must I do to find my way to the Truth as Jesus taught it and the Apostles after him? Where do I go to begin to ensure my first step is truly onto the right path? Well, it took me years to discover that I could search, research, investigate until my hair turned silver and bones began to ache, which by the way is exactly where I am, and I would never find the answer to my question, How can I know the Truth?

I certainly wish I could point to the moment that this great revelation came to me but I cannot, it just developed into an answer after extensive searching. That answer was this, "Start over, begin your search again from the beginning but find out where that beginning is and who is best to guide you from the BEGINNING." As it turned out that beginning is now pretty obvious, the Bible. The next part of that answer is a little more difficult to answer but it boils down to this "You will know the Truth when you shall desire nothing but the Truth.". I can best explain it like this, "My heart cries out when I see and hear the Truth" 

That Truth was found by wiping away all that I thought I knew and had learned at the feet of men and reading the Word of God as an empty vessel asking to be filled with the Truth as taught by Jesus and the Apostles. It was not an easy task to become embryonic and try to wipe clean my perceptions but when I saw that what I thought I knew was quite different than what I was now reading and understanding from a totally different perspective the doors of the Bible opened completely and I began to see the entire Bible for what it truly was. Amazing, enlightening, humbling cannot describe how I felt in my heart but it's a start.        

I want to try to bring some of my own new clarity to any modern Christians who may read this and be searching themselves for answers their hearts tell them do not reside in the modern teachings of most churches. What Jesus taught and what His Apostles taught versus what has today become a new and accepted teaching of the Truth is remarkably different in many ways. The bottom line is that if a current Biblical teaching, philosophy or church doctrine cannot be proven and supported in and by the Scriptures, then it is not truly the Word of God but rather as it foundation in the traditions and minds of men. 

Some of these modern teachings in the Christian church are very palatable as they are coated with honey and go down easily. Some of these modern teachings are a sweet melody that find the hungry ears of those who have never been taught the original Truth of the Word of God and are accepted, by trust in their teachers alone and never supported or proven in Scripture. Sure, you will hear the message of abundance and health and healing being preached by pulling snippets and half sentences from the Scriptures but then expounded upon by the words and ideas of the man or woman presenting this "teaching". Many today depend upon other men to teach them what God has said and has to say about almost any given subject but when those other men (preachers, pastors, theologians, church leaders and councils) who were never really grounded in the Truth of the Gospel and Word of God from the very beginning because they themselves were taught an incorrect doctrine. If you found your art instructor was now going to teach your advanced calculus class also but had no roots, background or real knowledge of mathematics how much calculus are you going to learn? Everyone's foundation must be in the original teaching of Jesus, the Prophets and the Apostles.  

Please don't misunderstand what I am saying here. I am not trying to convert unbelievers here, they have made their choices and have hard hearts and will not hear. I am directing myself to others like myself who have found the Truth of Christ but who have been unknowingly lead to other paths of Salvation when there is but one true way. Modern Christian teachers, who themselves have become mislead into believing unsupported theories, traditions and doctrines of men alone are not teaching from God's Original Word but have allowed traditional interpretation to infiltrate and poison their understanding. 

I think a lot of people today have become somewhat lazy in their spiritual lives as I once did and began to fully trust the men who were teaching them rather than go home and search out the Truth for themselves. In this day and age when almost instant gratification is normal and expected ("men running to and fro") with such tools as cars, planes, TV's, cell phones, microwaves, computers, 15 second news blurbs with very abbreviated news stories, it becomes almost the expectation the modern mind to expect the same sort of abbreviated Bible teachings at abbreviated gatherings. Here is where the honey coated teaching and sweet melodies become accepted by preachers and pastors, this is where they truly fall down and that is to continue teaching the message they are to keep the people showing up. It is easier to keep people coming to a modern, worldly and humanistic acceptable message of prosperity and health today than a message that requires the individual to work hard and search out the Truth by conviction and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Listen to something nice and let someone else do all the thinking for you, very American these days. I am trying to point out that most people today in the modern Christian church have come to accept teachings that are not Scriptural but they won't know that unless the search the Scriptures for support of that teaching and if they cannot find the supporting Scriptures then it cannot be proved through the Word of God as the Truth. Christians today think that if they say they are Christians, go to church regularly, and try to do good works in the name of Jesus that they will automatically be saved, I have news for you, Jesus said;

Matthew 7:21-23
"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."

What could he possibly have been alluding to here? These people were convinced they were saved. Why we're they not?

Hosea 4:6-7
6 "My people are destroyed for lacke of knowledge: because thou hast reiected knowledge,
I will also reiect thee..."
7 "...therefore will I change their glory into shame."

What knowledge was missing in their lives? The knowledge of the Truth? What Truth? We're they listening to men and not to God?

These two Scriptures are not taken out of context for they plainly express a Truth. But again I ask you what Truth?

Mark 7:6-9

6 "This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men...

9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition."

You may say that was then this is now but the Word says it is for all days. What traditions are now kept in the Bible believing church that are of men and not taught in the Bible? There are quite few that might and probably will surprise you.

Most people who believe in the Bible think that they are saved.

Most people who profess to be born again believers think they are saved.

Most people think they are good people, do good things, go to church on Sunday think they are saved.

The vast majority of people who profess to be Christians think they are saved.

Don't assume anything, Don't trust your eternal soul and your Salvation to someone else because it just sounds good and sounds right, investigate all the Biblical Truths you hold so dearly and be sure of your Salvation. 

I will write more soon and share with you some original Truths taught in the Bible that have been overlooked by most today but are needless to say still the Truth of your foundation in Christ.

 Here is a question for you to ponder, Is Jesus' name found in the Old Testament and what is that Name?
