The God in Whom I Trust

 Is Different than the god in whom America Trusts

 

Dear Brethren, friends and neighbors,

 

Greetings and peace to you and your household from God, our Father and His merciful Son, the Christ our Lord and Savior. I was recently cautioned after the last Scroll went out (Scroll No. 13) to pick and choose my battles wisely and remember that “the battle belongs to the Lord.” In deed it does and my response to that is that though we pick and choose our battles wisely (or should), sometimes the battles choose us. Remember what Paul said to the Romans? Romans 14:7-9 “For none of us liveth to himself and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.” Therefore, I proclaim to you that I act not solely of my own will in these matters but respond to my Father’s will.

 

I took that last battle as far as I did because I want to demonstrate to all who hear or read these testimonials what we are all up against. The living witness of God’s servants will continue to prevail! Too many are "comfortably numb" and "content" about the way things are and as a result, they blindly carry on feeding the beast and the harlot with their corrupted desires only later to fall into traps one right after another. This happens most often when "good intentioned" Americans go to the booths to vote for this or that incumbent, initiative, stadium or social program. In the end, they are coughing up "billions" in tax payer dollars to keep the enemies agenda running. Few are they who truly understand that they are voting their so-called American freedoms away and being led right into the dragon's snare.

 

Case in point is the little known approval by Congress in 1991 to officially proclaim and honor "Education Day - USA." Sounds benign right? Well, the truth is that Americans are being set up for what is soon to come. Most especially are the various Christian sects also being allowed by the "Elite" and Government (i.e. California and Maine and many more States to follow) to let their hypocrisy and division propagate. The Episcopalians who are allowing for and ordaining Gay unions and pastoral ship do not understand that one day real soon, the replacement governing powers soon to be set in place (shifting power to a New World Order system) will sweep up all practicing known homosexuals and without the old fashion "due process" of law, will be convicted on the testimony of only one witness or self admission (as opposed to Christ's command of two or three witnesses) and then be judged guilty and according to the Noahide remedy, die by "beheading." That is likely where it will begin but soon afterwards, these Super Powers and Principalities will take out one Christian organization after another. Eventually we will be forbidden in all levels of this “new society” to even speak out loud our Lord’s name. Not convinced yet? Please read on…

 

Within this seemingly benign observance of Education Day is a list of accepted practices and adherence to the little known Noahide Laws. In 1991, President Bush Sr. signed these into law when Congress accepted and passed the observance of "Education Day." For your research purpose, the law that was passed is known as "Public Law 102-14" It emphatically states that all civilization from the beginning has been based on "The Seven Noahide Laws." You, like me, probably did not know this. In fact, you were probably under the understanding as I once was that the Holy Bible was the foundation of our American Laws and Justice System.

 

You might ask like I did recently, "What are these laws and from where did they come?" According to the Encyclopedia Americana, page 737 states, that they are a Jewish Talmudic designation for seven Biblical laws given to Adam and to Noah before the revelation to Moses on Mt. Sinai and consequently, "binding on all mankind." These laws originated from the mystic (and Satanic) Babylonian Talmud, which no true Christian has ever accepted as sacred scripture or divinely inspired. In fact, the Talmud is that collection of man-made interpretations of the Pentateuch (Genesis thru Deuteronomy) against which Jesus rebuked so passionately. The Talmud was taught as being equal with God's inspired Word even though it's teachings are so directly opposed to our "New Testament" understanding of grace and faith in Christ our Savior.

 

That is precisely what I mean when I continually exhort, that "so many are being led like the blind into pits out of which they cannot escape" or "like swine with rings in their nose being led to the slaughter house, squealing all the way.”  Have you wondered why there is so much strife and conflict over God's simple 10 Commandments in this country? It really isn't that difficult to understand when you read what the Noahide Laws stand for and how they are historically applied. By all means, please do not just take my word for it but check out what I am telling you for yourself. "Test all things according to and by the Spirit (of the Word).

 

The Noahide Laws are as follows...

1. Thou shall not engage in idol worship (Yet our current system is full of idolatry)

2. Thou shall not blaspheme God (the god so many are worshiping is not the Jesus I know and true "God fearing" persons will be marked and killed; see Rev. 20:4)

3. Thou shall not shed innocent blood of a human nor fetus nor ailing person who has a limited time to live. (Yet they are allowing for it today and are “setting up” those who will later be taken out of the way while establishing the "New World Order.")

4. Thou shall not engage in bestial, incestuous, adulterous or homosexual relations nor commit rape (yet States are now joining together and following suit after the Episcopal abomination and passing laws allowing for Gay unions and relationships)

5. Thou shall not steal (but it's ok for the government to rape, rob and pillage its own citizens. The elderly, widows and orphans are most abused and ignored.)

6. Thou shall establish laws and courts of law to administer these laws including the death penalty for those who kill (murder is not well defined) administered only if there is "one" testifying witness. The method of killing as outlined in Revelations 20:4 will be death by “beheading.” This contrasts sharply with what Deuteronomy and Jesus states about the requirement of two or three witnesses and should be a "RED FLAG" though it appears the Word will be fulfilled right down to the last detail.

7. Thou shall not be cruel to animals (here we go again being forced to become vegetarians even though Christ established "all things were made clean." Remember the Apostles epistles warned us of these things to come by what the Spirit was signifying to them.)

 

Some additional concerns we have regarding application of these Noahide Laws are as follows. For your edification, research and verification, links have been provided.

Jesus Christ is regarded as a false prophet whose execution was justified under Talmudic law for reasons like the following:

 
1) He and his disciples practiced sorcery and black magic, led Jews astray into idolatry, and was sponsored by foreign, gentile powers for the purpose of subverting Jewish worship (Sanhedrin 43a).

2) He was sexually immoral, worshipped statues of stone (a brick is mentioned), was cut off from the Jewish people for his wickedness, and refused to repent (Sanhedrin 107b; Sotah 47a).

3) He learned witchcraft in Egypt and, to perform miracles, used procedures that involved cutting his flesh of which is also explicitly banned in the Bible (Shabbos 104b).

I know the words I am given to exhort and write seem very disheartening beloved brethren but someone must speak and I am willing to serve our Lord in this way without fear for my life because I know well what is at stake. Please, do not think that I am alone in this knowledge nor am I casting "pearls before swine." The people must be warned as I am "commanded" to go out and "speak these words" so that "some" might indeed "be saved." The times we now live in are no less volatile than when John the Baptist and Jesus entered the scene. I know well what my Lord is asking me to do and there are not many others who are willing to tread where I am willing to go. I pray that dear souls like you who continue to support this ministry and other like brothers in the same faith will continue to endure with us this long suffering and share our hardship as we proclaim the very Gospel Jesus promised would be proclaimed. Please do not be afraid to pass this around as hard copy text or sending it to any whom you might think will lend their ears to listen.

 

Matthew 23:34-39 “Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zechariahs son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, all these things shall come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord."

 

Matthew 24:1-2 “And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? Verily I say unto you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down."

 

Matthew 24:5-14 “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the entire world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."

 

Matthew 24:22 “ And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.”

 

My dear brethren in Christ, friends and neighbors, I am merely doing the things that my Father has commanded of me; to be a faithful witness in these last days so that some may be saved from the second death. We all will experience the first death as promised but the point is to abide in Christ so as to be free from the sting of the "second death."

 

 

Regarding the 10 Commandments issues inside or in front of US Courthouses, I have this to say: Do we still worship old and archaic idols which were replaced by the fulfillment of the Word becoming flesh in Christ Jesus? There are two things happening in this great debate.

 

One: The governing authorities in this land and around the planet are making it very clear they do not want to be held accountable under God’s Laws of grace and fulfillment. This is very telling to any with a discerning mind because it establishes that God’s simple; ten basic laws are being rejected and thrown out just like God was thrown out the doors of the public school system in 1956. We are being led back to a governing system of Laws that existed prior to when Moses received the “Ten Commandments” on Mount Sinai. Remember that Jesus was the fulfillment of the “Big Ten.” The perpetrators of this debauchery my friends are being revealed to be none other than the ancient aristocratic Jews whom Jesus rebuked so passionately (speaking only of an elite group of Jews). They are the “Elite” and also the driving force and membership of the Illuminati and Freemasonry. Their historical lines have survived all these centuries no different than God’s faithful remnants have survived through earth’s long and dark history. Indeed, the powers and principalities of the dark forces of this world (Ephesians 6:12) are being manifested and exposed after long centuries of being hidden in “Secret Societies.” Do not forget that President George W. Bush has publicly confessed that he has been an active member of one of these “secret societies” called Skull and Bones since his college days. It is also a matter of public and historical record that almost every President dating back to George Washington and also the writers of the U.S. Constitution were and are “Freemasons.” Much evidence has been brought to light and is a matter of factual record according to Masonry’s own handbooks and their beloved bible, “Morals and Dogma,” that this ancient society is without question “Anti Christ.”

 

 Two: What is not so obvious to many is that many Christians are still trying to hang on to something old and archaic instead of applying themselves to the New Covenant Law of grace. Christians are not only forgetting, most don’t understand that they don’t need those laws written upon tablets of stone anymore because they’ve been written upon our hearts and we are motivated and moved to seek what is right and just with all if we are the like role models of Christ’s disciples long ago. Who needs the tablets of stone if they’ve been written upon our hearts of flesh? This is a futile argument and is causing many to stumble right now because Christians are forgetting the New Covenant rules apply differently to Gentiles than did the Talmudic Laws for the Jews. That’s right, the Jews lived and died by the Law and no one could be saved therefore it was necessary for God to send His Son to accomplish His objective a little differently. In short, Jesus was the fulfillment of the Law in all shape, manner and form. He showed all mankind how one receives eternal life through selfless sacrifice (your service), trust (faith) in God and His grace which thus empowers you to seek, practice and abide righteousness and love; love for your enemies, fellow man, neighbor and brother. My understanding of love is that love is a commitment (See 2 John 1:6) and God’s grace allows for you to stay the course and practice humility, accountability and mercy towards one another. Wars still exist on earth today because unrighteous hatreds are still very much alive in the heart of man. It is my bold opinion that the only good thing that will come out of this debate is it will be easier to tell what god(s) Christians and Gentiles are worshipping today. As for me, I have been disturbed by the obvious that many who are called by my Lord’s name (Christians) are worshipping a different god and their Jesus is not the same Jesus I have come to know and have intimate relationship with. I say this to their shame; all who are not attempting to listen and apply themselves to the fundamental teachings of Jesus are missing the mark (sinning).

 

On prayer and pledging allegiance to…

 

Here is another deceptive argument whereby feuding parties are brought to task and tempted to fight it out as though this were some kind of spectacular picture show! Isn’t anybody out there reading their Bibles for crying out loud? For a fundamental believer like myself, I understand that I am not to give my allegiance to anyone or anything else because I’ve already given my sole allegiance to God and have voluntarily submitted myself under His authority. It’s real simple, I will not divide my allegiances because I’ve seen the results of a divided alliance over and over again; it always fails in the end. Jesus said it Himself, “Any house that is divided against itself will fall.” I so implicitly trust the Word and have seen it manifest itself over and over again that there is no reason to trust anything above the pure and blameless Word of God. It is irrefutable in my bold and well seasoned opinion and belief. I have tried and tested it in so many different applications that after a while of achieving consistent results, you no longer need to question it anymore. You don’t get those kinds of consistent results in scientific tests and measures. Therefore, to make any God-fearing child speak or give his allegiance to anything other than God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord is the first step towards the indoctrination of hypocrisy. I call it, the making of a hypocrite. Why should I make an allegiance to a Nation whose god is an all seeing eye (osirus) over a pyramid and whose money is clearly marked and identified with the ancient symbols of paganism? This is not a god or country that I can give my allegiance to and I refuse. Even under penalty of death or imprisonment, I refuse, I refuse… I refuse to go there!

 

When my children are in school and asked to stand for the pledge to the flag, I have answered their own concerns by stating that they may stand and bow their heads during this moment and say a silent prayer. I have further taught them that our prayers should be private prayers except in the context of a gathering of like-minded and same-faith people. I have also warned them of the consequences of failing to abide Christ’s simplest of commands or warnings; there is always a storm of trouble that follows when we practice open transgression, unbelief or unfaithfulness. There are also consequences to openly or purposely offending others in an unjust way. I have explained to my kids that our faith in Jesus is offense enough and we don’t need to add any trouble to our lives in that way. Jesus gave warning for causing even the least of his brethren to stumble or be unnecessarily offended. We generally seek to live our lives in such a way so as to be examples to others rather than sounding or looking like the hypocrites today. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I have a problem with mainstream Christianity because there is no presence of a God fearing attitude and thus humility is very nearly non-existent. Without humility, love is not made safe and neither is the equation of love made complete.

 

Regarding the issue of State and Church separation…

Several things are not being accurately reported or applied here. First off, what business does a Church or large ecumenical organization or religious order have to do with swinging votes in this country if it considers itself a Christian assembly? It is clear that there never really has been a separation of Church and State. All of the Churches and religious organizations in this country are incorporated as non profit entities like 501-(c)-(3) corporations. This means that the churches are beholding to the government and made to abide by the financial reporting requirements of such corporations. By the laws of men, you are mandated and told that your Corporation will have a Board of Directors and each has some degree of contracted duty to his or her administrative position. There are busy and timely reporting requirements and that makes it clear that you are submitting yourself under another authority of man which is not called for nor desired except for the known pecking orders of the first recorded gatherings (churches) as described in Scripture. Where true Christians are called to submit to the governing authorities of man is that we are all required to obey the laws of the land so as to not be an offense or hazard to society. We are called to lead quiet and productive lives except where the scribes and teachers are commissioned to go out and teach the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

I wish that government would back out of their religious agenda but the truth is that they won’t. I know this because of what history truly records. Unfortunately, one has to dig deep to see what story is told by all the hidden articles and suppressed reporting. What you learned in your high school history books was just a nicely groomed version of a story designed to build you up and generate pride in yourself and all the glory of this Nation. You cannot possibly imagine just how much has been exposed or brought to light in just the last ten years. We are living in the shadow of a beast, I lie to you not! Things will go down just as the ancient prophesies foretold. How do I know that? Because I’ve been tracking history for years now and what I did not understand in my youth but knew was wrong has come to light and soon will be in full bloom. We are the makers of our own demise and God foreknew it. This is why I say, you still need a Savior and so do your friends and loved ones. If you have been like me and have lived a lie for many years pursuing the “American Dream” and going after “Wealth and Prosperity,” do not be ashamed to turn away from your prodigal wanderings. If I can do it, so can you, so can your friends and your loved ones but you must TELL THEM THE TRUTH ABOUT THESE THINGS! I am exhorting to you and all my readers and anyone who will lend their ear, return to the narrow road that will liberate you and your conscience because life with God, though hard at times, is so much more gratifying as you watch Him work out all the details. Those words on paper (Scripture) literally come alive and leap off the pages when you start accepting and applying yourself thereby achieving understanding while in the hot pursuit of wisdom. “The Word truly does become flesh when you submit entirely to it.” (“Apostasy Revealed” Mountain View Publishing, division of Treble Heart Books 2003)

 

 

Defining the Role I play and that of Some of My Brethren

 

Now regarding the parts of His body which collectively work together to form the whole, that which is called His Church (those gathered unto Him and attending to His instruction and command). Please note that as referenced in the New Testament, His “Church” is those that gather in His name, the “One” true God, Jesus the Christ of God. Among His body are not those who spread strife, confusion and factious teachings propagating unbelief amongst its members. If anyone is found to be doing such, then he should be removed and not allowed to destroy the perfect will of our Lord and Father in heaven nor His children; for of such men, their destruction is relentless and their heresies are subtle as one who comes in the likeness of an angel but is as ravenous as a wolf. We are warned extensively throughout the New Testament to stay aloof from such and not even to give such persons a greeting lest we be found part-taking in their evil deeds. Neither are we allowed to eat with such persons according to the pure and unadulterated Word of God which is by and of itself, sanctified, pure and blameless.

 

Regarding those whom are sent by our Lord Christ Jesus, the ones He called as prophets aka messengers, scribes and wise men; there is much to say. Be it known that these servants are no less important to the sanctifying work of His Church but are commonly the least appreciated and largely misunderstood. There  were 24 prophets who spoke and warned before the time of Christ and the number after the time of Christ is currently unknown. Be assured that of such men, they are commanded to go forth according to the time set by Jesus and speak the things which are not comfortable for most to hear. Their duty is one they dare not shirk for the God they serve is able to both save and destroy the souls of men. Therefore when one is sent among you to speak, you should not so easily contend or disregard what he is given to exhort.

 

To be sure if one who comes as such is from God or not, you need only go as far as the eternal Word to judge, test and measure what he speaks. When it comes to pass that the words which he spoke have been fulfilled in part or in whole then understand that there indeed was one or more among you who was a prophet, scribe or wise man of God indeed. Of such men; do not despise their words nor should you so easily discount the Spirit in them for they are speaking the things of truth and that which relates to your current time and place long ago foretold. Take heed therefore because the things which he speaks will be fulfilled in its time according to the sovereign will of God. These “type” of servants foretold are under the authority of God and His eternal Word. Just as the Scriptures thus point out, they are under duty and obligation. They are called God’s “Watchmen.”

 

Ezekiel 33:1-9 “Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he sees the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.”

 

The duty of such watchmen is to speak according to the Lord’s directive as seen in the rest of this passage; Ezekiel 33:10-16 “Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live? Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sins. When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousness shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it. Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.”

 

Now, the way some are treating this humbled messenger is not unlike what the Lord reveals to my brother Ezekiel; Ezekiel 33:17-20 “Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die thereby. But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby. Yet ye say, the way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.”

 

So how do I fit into this ancient old story you might ask? We are in and winding down the “time of the Gentiles.” Just as I was directed to write in my little known book, Apostasy Revealed, the message I exhort is to the Gentiles and Christians of today. This is no different that when the Apostles of Jesus were directed to preach “Christ crucified” to the Gentiles and Jews of yesterday. I was a Gentile who was called to proclaim and exhort to those who are of the same background as I was from. I could no more stop exhorting as some request as I could lift a sword against another man!

 

If this happens to be a little strong for you to stomach and or accept, then I am given to ask, “Why do some think to call those whom are blatant transgressors of Christ’s New Covenant between God and humanity, “The Anointed of God?” Jesus clearly established as recorded in scripture that “those who do the will of My Father are my brothers, sisters and mother.” Though I am just a man with given duty and responsibility, I am also a “witness” to the atrocities of which I admonish and reprove; not for the sake of condemnation but for the sole purpose of convicting the heart’s of men to lead them to the necessary repentance (turning away) which God our Father is now calling for. Please do not take this message lightly as it is obviously been appointed that I should speak with you regarding these things. You see now more clearly than before, you have a choice to make and that choice has nothing to do with you changing, stopping or averting me (the messenger) or my cries from atop the buildings or in cyberspace! This has everything to do with you who are called Christian to adjusting yourselves to the humble and prostrate position that we who are called should be when any of us is blessed to hear from a lively messenger. You can make a difference in your life and the lives of others but not in the way some are currently attempting to avert the mission of this particular messenger.

 

To further clarify who is truly saved, one only need look no further than the passages of John chapters 15-17. Jesus clearly identifies who His brethren are and what “sanctification” really is. John 17:15-21 “I pray not that thou should take them out of the world, but that thou should keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.”

 

John 15:4 “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.”

 

John 15:6-8 “If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.”

 

John 15:10 “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.”

 

John 15:14-15 “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.”

 

2 John 1:6 “And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, that as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.”

 

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

 

And now is the time that my Master thus foretold and He is stirring you up by way of reminder through His messengers and servants, some of whom have been made scribes and wise men today. Allowing for Christ my Lord and Savior to be heard, please allow me to decrease in this for it is Him that must of natural course increase. It was recorded by my brother Matthew that Jesus once said, Matthew 23:34-36 “Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zechariahs son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, all these things shall come upon this generation.”

 

Matthew 24:4-14 “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”

 

Are we not now there, even right at the door? Take heed Brethren for I will tell you plainly and directly just as I have proclaimed in my travels across this country;

 

“We are in the last hours; even moments of the second day and soon the morning of the third day will dawn. What happens on the morning of the third day oh sons of men?”

 

With all patience and long-suffering for you and those to whom I must exhort,
