On this page is a collection of Questions and Answers that were shared during our onlinechurch serviceon "Q&A Sabbath." (Due to the fact that I don't do spell check on questions sent to me, please don't email me alerting me of spelling errors on this page.)

1John 3:6 , and others, bother me. I try not to, but i still fail. And I'm very aware of it.

1 John 3:6, "Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him."

When you “abide” in Christ, that means you are obedient to His Word, and being obedient means you are not seen as a sinner because you repent when you either choose to sin, or His Holy Spirit reveals sin to you that you never knew of before, and then you choose to stop that sin. Those who choose to sin without repentance are those that have not known Him. Those who abide in Christ do not “willfully sin.”

Isaiah 28:9-10, "Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:"

I shared verses with you earlier regarding how we are forgiven when we confess and repent. Isaiah 28:9,10 clearly dictates you cannot build a doctrine on ONE verse. If many verses say those that repent are forgiven and then you find one verse that says “those that abideth in Him sinneth not” and you assume that means Christians NEVER sin, then you are not allowing the Scripture to speak in the way it is written. Instead, you are allowing self to speak.

What I mean is.. 1 John 3:6 is not saying what you think it is. If it was, then all the other passages that say we are forgiven need to be deleted. God cannot lie. Still.. I can see how you’re confused and so I was moved by His Spirit to show you where the confusion lies. The word “ABIDETH” here means if you obey Christ “even after you sin” by confessing and repenting, as 1 John 1:9 says is your duty, then you are not seen as a sinner by His Father. In other words… when reading His Word you need to read EVERY word in the passage. Jesus doesn’t mince words when He speaks. We must learn to hang on every word that comes from His lips. The word “abide” in 1John 3:6 is a good example of how a verse can change by skipping just one word in it. Rome in fact is infamous in approaching God’s Word in this manner. The NIV is proof that removing a word here or an entire verse there can make the Bible appear to say something it never said. This approach is very effective and this is why Satan uses it. The first time we see him using this method was in the Garden of Eden wherein he twisted what God said about the tree of good and evil.

What are your views on the book of Enoch? Some say it’s a real book that should be considered and it points to the messiah, and it was found with the dead sea scrolls, what’s your take?

I don’t personally trust anything but the 66 books of the Bible that were specifically protected by God when the Two Witnesses were killed. If Enoch was to be a book to protect, as it is “claimed” to have been written before the death of the Two Witnesses, why wasn’t it in the 66 books after they arose?

PLUS, I already have discovered many forged Vatican books over the years that continue to flood Christendom with heresy via the presses. They have even admitted to forging books recently so as to make them appear humble before God for their mistakes, yet they still uplift the books as historically accurate. In the last days I am sure books like this were bound to appear due to the fact Satan knows his time is short. Since the Word of God was already declared to be all we need to make it Home, I choose to concentrate my daily studies within the Holy Writ.

For example: Acts 1:1-2 says, "The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, ofallthatJesusbegan both to do and teach, Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:"

One more thing.. I did some research on Enoch’s supposed book and found Catholic doctrine within its pages. For example, it says that only 200 angels fell from Heaven when Lucifer sinned and became Satan. What does the real Bible say? When speaking of the angels that minister unto God before the throne, it says this in Revelation 5:11, "And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;"

It also says in the book of Enoch that when those 200 angels fell to earth they had sex with human women and that act brought about the Nephilim. Not only has it recently been proven via archeological finds that man was over 16 feet tall and women around 14 feet tall before the flood of Noah, I go into detail about that on my “Evidence in Creation” page on the site; Jesus actually exposes this lie when uncovering the lying agenda of a corrupt Sadducee who asked about who would be married to the woman who was barren that was married to seven brothers who died one by one before she could have a child. Jesus said in Mark 12:25, "For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven." In other words, angels cannot have sex.

The book of Enoch can’t possibly be an inspired book. To be inspired it must agree line upon line and precept upon precept just as all the other 66 books of the Bible does. Once can see how Rome uses twisted verses and out of context statements to build on this doctrine by using the term “sons of God” in Genesis 6:4.

Genesis 6:4, "There were giantsin the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."

Common sense has to be graphically called upon here to ask the question. Would God call fallen angels the sons of God? Some say the "sons of God" are good angels as well. However, as we just saw in Mark 12:25 Angels can't "marry."

So, if the "sons of God" are now good angels in Genesis 6:4, they are now committing adultery and or fornication by having sex with women without marriage. That then means they are bad angels, hence the reason for the heresy in the book of Enoch.

That being said, who are the "sons of God" according to the bible? Read the following passages most that preach "sons of God = angels" never seem to share...

Does this series of passages describe fallen angels? Does it even describe good angels? No, it doesn’t. It is describing the followers of God. The Sons of God were, and still are the people of God. They sinned in that they took women to wife that God specifically commanded against. It's that simple. That’s why the Nephilim came to be.

I was skimming your easter page i didnt find anything on Acts 12:4 (kjv). could you explain this verse please. note it may not be the same in every kjv. key: easter. thanks

Acts 12:1-4, "Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread) And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intendingafter Easter to bring him forth to the people."

The passage is obviously speaking of Herod’s intending to keep Peter until “after Easter.” Easter was never a Jewish or Christian festival. Easter is and always was a Pagan festival that comes about on the first full moon of Spring, the following Sunday will be Easter. This is why Easter’s date changes every year. It has nothing to do with the death and resurrection of Jesus, and everything to do with Pagan worship of the Sun, moon and stars.

You need to keep in mind that Herod was a Roman ruler. All Romans were Pagans. And Pagans to this day celebrate Easter.

One more thing to ponder here is the strong possibility that the word "Easter" is a mistranslation. In this passage the word "Easter" comes up as follows.

Strong's #3957 pascha {pas'-khah}of Aramaic origin cf 06453; TDNT - 5:896,797; n n

AV - Passover 28, Easter 1; 29

1) the paschal sacrifice (which was accustomed to be offered for the people's deliverance of old from Egypt)

2) the paschal lamb, i.e. the lamb the Israelites were accustomed to slay and eat on the fourteenth day of the month of Nisan (the first month of their year) in memory of the day on which their fathers, preparing to depart from Egypt, were bidden by God to slay and eat a lamb, and to sprinkle their door posts with its blood, that the destroying angel, seeing the blood, might pass over their dwellings; Christ crucified is likened to the slain paschal lamb

3) the paschal supper

4) the paschal feast, the feast of the Passover, extending from the14th to the 20th day of the month Nisan

As is obvious, the word "Easter" could have just as easily been translated as "Passover."

Hi Pastor Nic, what does [John 20,23] really mean?, I was talking yesterday with some friends and they told me that the priests has the authority to forgive sins. I know this is not what Jesus is talking about in John 20:23. Please explain,

John 20:23, "Whosoever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained."

This is common among Catholics who refuse to follow Isaiah’s “line upon line and precept up precept” format for defining doctrine. They only look at areas of the Word they can use that allows them to confirm their creed. What they fail to mention here is that this statement of Jesus comes AFTER His resurrection and after 3.5 years of intense Bible study under Christ’s tutelage. When He breathed the Holy Spirit on them this day they were 100% ready to receive instruction, and 100% capable of doing as Jesus taught them over the last 3.5 years. This includes Matthew 18:15-17 wherein He instructs them (and us) on how to deal with people that were in sin. If the method of helping them see their error was followed to the letter, as Jesus commands, one of two things would happen. The sinner being approached will either accept the rebuke and repent or refuse the rebuke and leave the church. Therefore, they (the apostles) would then be able to declare them saved or lost by that simple act.

If they repented, they have gained their brother and their sins would have been forgiven as they did choose repentance and the promise of forgiveness is upon all that repent. If they refused to repent they would have to treat the sinner as a heathen and their sins would remain upon them. It doesn’t say the apostles or anyone else has the power to forgive sin as Rome claims. If followed to the letter as instructed in Matthew 18, one can see the apostles, or even us today that use this method, will see God is the one forgiving or retaining their sins. In fact, Matthew 18:15-18 puts what John said in perfect clarity. This is a passage all Roman priests avoid when using the claim they can remit or retain sin because it shows the method to do so beforehand.

Matthew 18:15-18, "Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

Hi Bro. Nic! I was just wondering where did you get that "robe of light” that supposedly covered Adam and Eve's nakedness that you mention in one of your videos?

Do you recall what happened when Moses merely looked upon the back parts of the Lord?

Exodus 34:29-30, "And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him."

Moses only saw His back parts as the Lord spoke unto him that day. Adam and Eve spoke with Christ daily "in the cool of the day" (Genesis 3:8) face to face.

Have you not also seen how angels that are present with the Lord daily appear unto man when called to minister unto them? It says in Luke 24:4-5, "And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?"

Seems rather plain to me that Adam and Eve had that exact same robe of light. In fact, when they made the decision to sin I believe the robe fell off or disappeared and that is why they suddenly discovered they were naked.

I am looking for a Bible verse that says that The Father and The Son and the Holy Spirit will come at the second advent. I am explaining to J----- about the false second advent. Satan can only appear as the One and Only. I am looking for a verse showing all members of the Godhead will be there at the real second advent.

And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this [is] our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us: this [is] Jehovah; we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.

I don't recall a verse that specifically says all three will appear, but there is one that shows the Father and the Son appearing..

Revelation 6:16, "And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:"

The Father is on the thronehere and is mentioned, and then the wrath of Jesus who is in fact the Lamb is mentioned as well. And yes, Isaiah 25:9 is speaking of the entire Godhead. The word "God" in that passage is from the original Hebrew word "Elohiym." And that word is PLURAL in nature. See the Strong's definition below...

0430 'elohiym {el-o-heem'}

AV - God 2346, god 244, judge 5, GOD 1, goddess 2, great 2, mighty 2,

angels 1, exceeding 1, God-ward + 04136 1, godly 1; 2606

1) (plural)

1a) rulers, judges

1b) divine ones

1c) angels

We must also understand that the Gideon band will be alive on earth at that time as well. All 144,000 of them will have the Holy Spirit within them when the Father and the Son appear. So, as far as I can see, all three persons of the Godhead will in fact be present at the second coming.

I have a question, I hope that you can help me to answer it.
I was told by a very notable Rabbi that since I was not Jewish I should not be keeping the Seventh Day Sabbath because in essence that was part of a covenant that was made specifically between God and the children of Israel.

I am sad to report that that Rabbi is a liar. If the Sabbath was only for the Jews, then why did Abraham keep it before the Jews appeared as a nation? Better yet, why would the Angels keep it before any man came in to being?

Genesis 26:5, "Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."

Psalms 103:20, "Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word."

Plus, if the Law of God was only for the Jews, then why did Jesus say in Mark 2:27, "And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:" If the Sabbath was only for the Jew, then Jesus would have clearly said so. In fact, if the Sabbath was only for the Jews, then Jesus would have instead said in Mark 2:27 that "The sabbath was made for Israel, and not Israel for the sabbath:"

This Rabbi is like many before him. He has a religious pride that knows no bounds. For him to assume only the Jew is allowed access to God and His Law is arrogant as well as hateful towards all of mankind. This is why many Jews refused to accept Jesus as Messiah because they trusted the Rabbis word more than the written Word.

Another point to ponder is this. If the Sabbath was only for the Jew, then the other 9 commandments are only for the Jew as well. That being said, ask him, then it is ok for me to kill you? Lie about you? Lay with your wife? Blaspheme your God? Steal from you? Etc. I am sure he will declare you cannot kill, steal, or lie about him which in turn exposes his hypocrisy firsthand.

Dear Nicholas,
Sir, I was just wondering about something. It's making me very nervous. I was studying a little, with the Bible and with the information on your website, when I came across [1Timothy 2:15].
I know I might be a little young to be thinking about things like this, but do I have to get married? And have children? Thank you.

VERSE IN QUESTION:
1 Timothy 2:15, "Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety."

No dear one, you don’t have to get married. In fact, the Apostle Paul was not married and he said this…

1 Corinthians 7:6-9, "But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. Butif they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn."

In layman’s terms he’s saying here that, it is not a command from God that we all refrain from marriage as he did. It’s just his preference to not be married and would hope all would be as he is. But, if the people are unable to contain the desires of the flesh, it’s better for them to get married than to burn with lust.

Bro Nic, I am trying to comprehend these 2 verses. I just want to make sure that I understand it right. Thanks and God bless!

Hebrews 11:39-40, "And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect."

Many in the past, as are listed prior to the passage in question, have witnessed some amazing blessings and by faith received great promises they all trusted would come to fruition; but they also knew they would never live to see the day they did. Salvation of course is key here.

For example, the Sanctuary service depicts the future Lamb of God (Jesus) who takes away the sins of the world. All the obedient Jews of old that participated in the Sanctuary service never saw the promise of Messiah come to fruition before dying. Take Abraham’s promise as well, wherein his seed would become a mighty nation, or Joseph who knew his bones would be removed from Egypt after his death. They both died knowing the promise was true, but never witnessed it with their eyes. And yes, the ultimate promise that repeats here is one we are all given, being that of Heaven of course. This is something we all must wait to see. None of them in the past can see it without us in the present because, like them, we wait on the same promise. Therefore, they cannot be made perfect, or “changed in the twinkling of an eye” on that great and dreadful day any more than we can until the Lord performs the act when He raises all His children from the dead and changes the Gideon band as they stand alive.

VERSE IN QUESTION
Romans 10:4, "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."

Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

As we all know, sin = death. But the Lord loved us so much He sent His only begotten Son to be that death for us. That means "Christ is the end of the Law" as Paul says in Romans 10:4. In fact, 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." Therefore, if we believe in Jesus as Saviour, then the death we should receive for our sin is fulfilled in Him. So, instead of death being at the end of the Law, we have a Saviour now who died for us thereby becoming the “end of the law” for us.

Another way of saying Romans 10:4 in today’s language would be that Christ is the zenith or culmination of the law so that everyone that believes may have the righteousness of Christ, or “divine nature” as prophecy details as the end result of perfect obedience.

Mark 2:23-28 "And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, whydo they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him? How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him? And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath."

Jesus shows the Jews how He and the apostles were not actually breaking Sabbath at all. Had Jesus or the apostles been farmers then yes, they would have been breaking the Sabbath by picking ears of corn that day. But they were not farmers. They were merely picking food to eat.

I look at electricity the same way. We live in a society wherein many people, billions in fact, work on Sabbath day, and if they didn’t many would be in danger. Being as such, I still cannot condone most of it by entering their stores or places of business on Sabbath unless it’s an emergency or the services offered were for the sole use of emergency like police, fire and ambulance. At the same time I cannot go into the street and demand the police officer get out of his car till sundown, I can’t pull over the ambulance driver, nor can I walk into a restaurant and demand all the waitresses leave for that matter. We live in a world filled with people that do things we cannot do on Sabbath. Therefore, I can’t even demand the electric company turn off all the electricity in the city to satisfy my needs. Nor is it wise to place my family in jeopardy by turning it all off in our home either. If the people of God were to do that on Sabbath each week, the old and sick would die from heat exhaustion in the Summer and cold exposure in the Winter. And those with life support systems in their homes would die instantly no matter what time of year it was if their electricity was turned off.

Another way to look at it is; our present currency system was never sanctioned by God, nor was city life with non-believers His written will. In fact, He expressly forbid it. The Tower of Babel is just one example of how He disapproves. As for currency, bartering or “trade” was the preference for many generations. In fact, as recent as the 18^th century we see people in America survived their entire lives by bartering. In reality, after the 1929 crash in America most people bartered to make ends meet. That being said, shall we burn all our cash and demand every Sabbath keeper to leave the cities? The latter is possible yes, but without cash they would have to live in hovels or caves as they would be unable to buy supplies to build with. They can barter yes, but that takes considerable time, where handing someone the cash can happen quite quickly.

In short.. it is one thing to be obedient to God and another to be fanatical. There are Jewish & Christian Sabbath keepers out there that do turn off electricity, gas, water, and even refuse to start their cars because the gasoline engines “combust” fuel or “start a fire” in each cylinder on Sabbath day. These are indeed fanatical.

One more thing.. so as to confirm the facts here, I did a little research into what an Orthodox Jew does and has done for centuries when it comes to the Sabbath day and electricity. According to the how the Sabbath of our God is observed in ancient Judaism and the prohibitions against the 39 categories of work as specified in the Torah, it is actually possible to use electricity during Sabbath without violating the work prohibition.

I found that most Jews understand that electricity can only be used in a passive manner. In other words, whatever is needed to keep the house warm and safe is acceptable. In short.. They would not crank up something that consumes a lot of electricity on Sabbath day. They would wait till sundown. You also must understand that we all have items that are electric that we simply have no control over. (for the most part) For example.. the refrigerator is considered passive in that no “manual” switch that a human must flip is ever used to keep the food chilled throughout the day. You simply plug it in forget about it.

Now some Jews do get a bit fanatical and they still believe you cannot manually flip the light switch to turn a light on. However, if the light was already on when the Sun set, they believe it can stay on. But, it has to stay on all day long no matter what. They believe turning off the light isn't allowed in their opinion either because that would involve breaking the electrical circuit. Alternatively, they believe you could place a timer on the light to turn it on and off automatically at set times. This is allowed because you aren't actively turning the light on and off during Sabbath, you are using the light in a passive manner. I of course see this as fanatical because, unless you go out to the electric bubble on the house itself and disconnect it BEFORE Sabbath starts, flipping switches in the house really doesn’t matter as the current coming in the house is still a constant 100amps. Nothing really changes at the pole. Only difference I can see is that the flow is increased in the same way the refrigerator increases it passively. There is no switch on the electric bubble to use that allows you to increase the flow.

As for TV or radio, they believe as we do in that watching TV or listening to the radio is wrong because it tempts you to do things of “your own pleasure” on HIS Holy day. That goes against what the Lord said through Isaiah in…

Isaiah 58:13-14, "If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it."

So, watching TV, listening to or playing secular (non religious) music are not allowed on Sabbath. Truth is, I find it not wise on any day of the week.

By the way.. as you probably already know, these “rules” regarding keeping Sabbath aren't there to make our lives impossible or burdensome. They are there to assist us in making the Sabbath a unique day of the week where we set aside our daily lives for a day of rest that is spent with family and friends as well as with the Lord we worship.

If you’re interested, I do have this page on this site with a few ideas on what “TO” do on Sabbath that makes it even more special…

Nicholas, is a Christian a nationalist? Does he have a duty towards his nation? What's his relationship to his country? Does he have a duty to get involved in politics? Or no? What does the Bible say?

Romans 13:1-7, "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour."

The Word of and the Law of God is clear that we can only obey them as long as they don’t demand we break God’s Law. For example, they claim Sunday is the Sabbath. Real Christians disagree. But the day is quickly approaching were they will make it the law of the land that WE MUST keep Sunday holy and deny God’s Sabbath. It is THEN we must obey God rather than man. (Acts 5:29) AND.. it is then our God WILL shine like never before. For it is written in Psalms 119:126, "It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law."

As for politics, no it would not be God’s will that Christians become politicians or even vote in today’s wicked society. Many Christians will say we must vote for the lesser of two evils. But a vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil. But is there Scripture to back this claim? Yes there is. Cover to cover in fact. But just to name a few we have Amos 3:3 that says, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” And we have James 4:4 that says “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” These are just two of many statements in the Word but it is clear here that we are not to yoke unequally and we are not to make friends with the worldly. When you vote for a man you are in agreement with him and all that he represents, and so you become one with him or “friends” with him in that without your vote he may not gain office to do the work he does and there is not one politician out there with godly plans.

Now yes.. some will claim that the SDA neuro surgeon Ben Carson is a godly man. But I beg to differ. Not only is he friends with Hollywood, and yes he is friendly with them in that he gave them complete permission to make that movie about him years ago, and what of the present laws on the books and those being lobbied as we speak that allow for everything from abortion to homosexual marriage? Do you actually think that Ben Carson will nullify all those laws on day one of his presidency? No, he won’t. In fact, I just did a video about him wherein he states plainly that he will have no problem working with Islam. He even stated on camera that he likens the founders of Islam with the founders of America. Talking points like that assure he will do all he can to allow business as usual in DC. So I ask, if Ben Carson was truly a godly man and, as he puts it, “God’s fingers” were prodding him towards the office of the president, then we would see an instance wherein men of God in the Word of God would have willfully run for office and cleaned up the nation they were elected in. And no, we cannot count Joseph or Daniel as they were forced into office against their will and we cannot count Saul or David as the Lord allowed them to reign as the end result of their sinful desires to have a king. So.. is there one man besides Jesus our Lord who stood before politicians and did not seek political office? I mean Pilate even asked Jesus about His kingship and Jesus clearly stated it was not of this world, but what of Paul who stood before Agrippa? Did Paul speak on politics as Ben Carson will have to do if he is to keep his job as president? Did Paul hobnob with Agrippa and his pals and drink alcohol as well as take part in all sorts of demonic entertainments as every president must do to foster trust among foreign leaders? Did Paul sit down to advise on how to torture and even kill his fellow man in acts of war as Carson will do as president? What does the Bible say?

In Acts 26:27-28 Paul clearly said to "King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian."

Paul did not speak politics at all! He spoke of Christ Jesus the Lord! So much so he almost got Agrippa to convert to Christianity. Will Carson do the same with the leaders of the Muslim nations? Will he do so with the Catholic leaders of nations like Brazil wherein fleshly lusts is part f their daily lives? Better yet, will Carson speak unto the Pope to the point of converting him to accept Jesus as Lord? No.. as president he must separate church & State. That’s the law of the land. But then that turns over yet another coin. What if Carson does gain office and then does join the church & state as a way to bolster respect among all religious leaders? After all, that is prophesied to happen is it not? Will it be Carson that does this? Time will tell.. in any event, no.. we are not to be involved in politics as Christians. There are just too many evil requirements placed on the table for every politician in office. Be it the office of president or the mayor of a small town, you must compromise your faith to stay on the job. In short, if you’re a Christian in political office you must figure out a way to work for the Lord as well as work for Satan so as to be friendly with the world that has placed you in office. And my Bible clearly says

1 Corinthians 10:21-22, "Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?"

I would like to ask if a song that has a bit of drum beats (not the hard beats found in metal type of music) is evil? Its genre is "praise and worship." You don't think a person can use drums in a godly manner?

Drums are found nowhere in Scripture and everywhere in demonic worship as well as actual manifestations. Science has even proven that the drum beat alters the heartbeat in closed laboratory testing which in turn causes adrenaline to rush to the brain which causes a feeling of euphoria. The easiest way I know how to explain this is, when I was a young man driving down the road and a song I liked came on the radio, my foot went down on the accelerator a bit more. This altered state of euphoria is all about the flesh and has no place in worship music. The so called “praise and worship” music of today is directly offered up to Satan. In fact, it’s only in the fallen churches that you hear such music.

Thank you. We will be joining you for the online service. Do you happen to know anything about the Essenes? Some say Jesus was an Essene. Is this true? Also, I was reading how the Council of Nicea (325 A.D. under Constantine's rule) put the present day Holy Bible together. Constantine the Great was raised worshipping the Sun gods, but later converted to Catholicism. I was wondering who the Council consisted of. Do you happen to know? I've also read that the Council kept many books out of the Bible for use only by the priests. Is this true? Are there missing Bible books that would be worth reading?

The only thing I know about the Essenes is that they existed from around 2BC to 2AD. Jesus arrived in 27ad to be baptized, so if He was not Messiah, it would still be highly unlikely He was of the Essene faith. He simply wasn’t present at that time. Some also believe Jesus was of the Nazarene sect as well because He was raised in Nazareth. This is why so many paintings show Jesus with long hair, yet 1Corinthians 11:14 says long hair is a shame unto the man. The Nazarene oath is one that required the devotee never to cut the hair or drink of the grape, or partake in any strong drink as a vow unto the Lord. Some say this is what Jesus did, because He stated He will never touch the fruit of the vine till He drinks it in Heaven with us in His Father’s kingdom. (See Matthew 26:29) But, Jesus did drink grape juice at the wedding of Cana. In fact He made grape juice for the people. And He had grape juice at the last supper. Plus, part of the oath of a Nazarene was that they never come near a dead body. Jesus raised both Lazarus as well as the damsel in Mark chapter 5. In fact, Jesus TOOK THAT DEAD DAMSEL BY THE HAND and told her to arise. A vow keeping Nazarene would never come near a dead body let alone touch it or his vow would be broken.

As for Constantine and Catholic church having anything to do with the compilation of the Bible, all I know is Rome has been caught lying so often that I would first believe they killed the real Christian that actually compiled the books, and then claimed his work for their own. Truth is, those that don't believe Christ and His peaceful Word are 100% incapable of translating, let alone compiling it into an order He deems necessary for the seeker. In fact, to this day the Roman church has books in their Bible that have been proven to be uninspired by both Jesus and His apostles, for neither the apostles or Christ ever quoted from those books. Besides, most of those apocryphal books carry Pagan doctrines within them. One in particular is prayers to and for the dead. That is demonic according to the truthfully inspired writings of the Lord in the other 66 books of the bible.

I wouldn't doubt there are missing books, for Rome has always been very busy at trying to hide the truth about themselves. But that's not a problem for us today, for after Pentecost and the early rain of the Holy Spirit upon the believer, we now have His Holy Spirit that is very capable of filling in the blanks. Besides, our Creator knows what we have to work with at this time, and we shall only be judged by the light we have been given anyway. Seeking additional books and especially from Roman sources is a very dangerous deed.

Question #1
Brother Nic, a few days ago i was doing my morning devotion and read the story of Acts 8. I thought we believe that it is only after a person repents and is baptized that they get the Holy Spirit. How come Peter had to come and pray over those people in order to get the Holy Spirit?

Passage in question:
Acts 8:14-17, "Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: (Foras yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost."

You can receive the Holy Spirit IF you accept Christ, and this can even happen before Baptism sometimes. What happened with Cornelius in Acts chapter ten proves this boldly.

So how come in this case it wasn’t automatic? (In Acts 8) The elders had to come, and after they prayed for them it was THEN that they received the Holy Spirit?

In the case of Cornelius, he was a devout believer as were all that were in the house that heard Peter speak that day. Cornelius was so devout in fact that he had a vision to seek out Peter. Perhaps the people in Acts 8 were very young in the faith and needed further instruction and prayer so as to receive the Holy Spirit. The Bible doesn’t expound on this. Still, the Lord moves as He sees fit. We cannot read the hearts of men. Therefore, we truly don’t know why they needed additional prayer in Acts 8 to receive the Spirit. However, it is apparent there is an order that must be followed to receive the Holy Spirit, and in Acts 8 the Church was still in its infancy.

In other words, many new to the faith were still being taught how to do things that not only pleased the Lord, but reflected obedience to Him and His will. This is also why the book was penned. We too, thousands of years later need to know what our Lord’s will is in all aspects of our worship of Him. What appears to be happening in Acts 8 is that they needed further instruction. What happened in Acts 19:1-8 does illustrate a similar case wherein Paul was sent to educate the new believers that were baptized in repentance by John who taught them to prepare for Jesus who was to come as Messiah. But Jesus had already come and so Paul was sent by the Lord to instruct them more about Jesus, he then baptized them in the name of Jesus and laid hands on them to receive the Holy Spirit.

However, knowing how the Lord never ignores an opportunity to educate us further, I can’t help realizing that which was penned in Acts 8 was to illustrate the dangers of the mindset of Simon the Sorcerer who sought to buy the Holy Spirit he witnessed coming upon the people that day. But that’s a whole nother study.

Truth is, the Holy Spirit comes upon the people of God in ways mankind simply cannot grasp at times. Take King David for example. Was he not a “man after God’s own heart?” But David was never baptized. Yet, he had the Holy Spirit. How do I know this, David said the following in Psalms 51:11, "Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thyholy spirit from me." The only way the Holy Spirit could be taken from David was if he had it in the first place.

So again.. ours is not to wonder why some receive it right off and others after the laying on of hands. All we can do is obey the Lord regarding what we must do to help others on their walk with Christ. In some cases, we are to lay hands on them, and in some cases merely baptizing them allows them to receive His Holy Spirt, for it is also written in Acts 2:38, "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."

To further confirm the receiving of the Holy Ghost is solely a decision of the Lord. After Cornelius and his family heard the truth as proclaimed by Peter that day, it says in Acts 10:44, "While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word." And then three verses later we see in Acts 10:47, "Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which havereceived the Holy Ghost as well as we?"

So there you have it. In one case, the Holy Spirit comes with the laying on of hands, in another it comes after baptism, and yet another it comes before baptism. And if that’s not amazing enough, John the Baptist was blessed with the Holy Spirit while still in his mother’s womb.

Luke 1:15, "For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb."

So again.. the Lord reads the heart, and only He knows first-hand who will receive His Spirit and how. So.. trust Him as I know you do.

Hi Pastor Nicholas.I know that we ought to give 1/10 of our income in tithing according to the book of Malachi 3. But what about my savings when i was an unbeliever? Do i have to give of these money also? Cause i'm feeling little guilty for all these years. Thanks for your time. God Bless.

The guilt “may” be of the Holy Spirit if in fact that “increase” was never tithed and the Lord is requiring you to do so now. Only you can answer that question. My advice would be to pray and ask the Lord if this is His will on this.

Just so you know, due to the economy of today, most Christians don’t have savings when finding the Lord, and so they are never required to tithe what’s already been spent or lost from their past. But on occasion some do have savings or investments intact when finding the Lord that will be moved by Him to tithe on those blessings as a test of loyalty, seeing how the monies are still in their power to do with as they wish. Case in point…

Matthew 19:20-23, "The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven."

Now there is no evidence here that the Lord is demanding he sell all his possessions so as to give absolutely everything he has to the poor so as to cause much difficulty in his own life. Yes some may define it that way, but as I look in the Word of God I find more than one time that giving to the poor was not meant to bankrupt the giver. In fact, only 10% was required as a tithe to be given to the ministers that fed the tither with truth they need, and then whatever they could afford was to be used for love offerings after that.

As is often the case with the rich even to this day, parting with even a small portion of what they have is very difficult for them. Some billionaires for example seek a way to avoid taxes which are a mere fraction of their mountain of riches. They do this just to save a few dollars they can never really spend in multiple lifetimes anyway. These are those spoken of in James 5:3 as them that heap treasures for the last days. And yes, just by watching the rich today one can see that this is why we see this young man becoming “sorrowful” 2000 years ago when discovering he was required to help the poor. He simply couldn’t part with his treasures. Even if only a fraction was to be given.

Or take Nicodemus as another and much better example. He too was rich. When he discovered the truth after meeting with Jesus at night, some bible historians suggest he gave generously and was in fact the main method by which the Lord used to fund the early church. After all, it is written in John 19:38&39 that Nicodemus not only joined Joseph of Arimathea to ask Pilate for the body of Jesus, he’s the one that purchased a hundred pounds of spices to anoint the body of Christ. But, there is no official record that he ever bankrupted himself in doing the work of God. Although some theologians do report that Nicodemus was broke at the time of his death. But then, if that’s true, would this not also show divine intervention in that the Lord knew how long his money would last, and He knew how long Nicodemus would live?

Am i supposed to despise the cross He died on? Isn't the cross after His death become the power of God unto salvation? "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. -1 Corinthians 1:18" If satan attacks what he fears the most, then there shouldn't be anything wrong with a cross since he attacks it by displaying upside down crosses.

Satan inverts the cross so as to spark doubt in the hearts of many regarding what happened ON the cross 2000 years ago. You are aware the Romans killed hundreds of thousands on those crosses, right? That being the case.. shall we investigate each death just to make sure we’re not missing anyone worth uplifting? After all, Rome has been known to hate Christians. My point is, the cross was the execution method of their day. I don’t deny what happened on the cross. And I do worship the Lord they placed on that cross. However, if you have a close enough walk with Jesus you won’t need to display Roman crosses to remind you of what He did. The love filled act is all you need to recall.

Let me ask you this.. if they killed Jesus with an electric chair, or shot him with a gun, or hung him with a rope back then, would you want to have icons that resemble electric chairs, guns and ropes to hang on your body or from the rear view mirror of your car? Of course not. That would be morbid. So.. why have a cross? Don’t you know what He did that day? Or is it the manmade wooden cross to be worshipped instead? The Word of God says Jesus was to be uplifted on that cross. But today’s world uplifts the cross on Jesus instead.

As for Paul preaching the cross.. do you REALLY think he’s demanding cross worship in that passage? Or is it more that he is speaking of what Jesus did on the cross for all of mankind, including the men that built that cross to kill thousands of men with? Me thinks the latter is the point Paul is making here.

People need to focus on what Jesus did that day and stop focusing on what man did that day. That’s why we see a dead Jesus on Catholic crosses all over the world today. The priests, nuns and popes keep proclaiming Rome killed Him so as to make Jesus appear defeated by mankind. I get that. They’re devil worshippers and so they must uplift the lie. They only have faith in their act of killing Him because that’s all the power they have. But as Christians we have faith in His promise to defeat death. The fact He lives to this day proves I need no cross to remind me that He died, because the real truth is, HE AROSE!

After sharing a prophetic parable regarding the workers of the Gospel from the moment the work started by Israel to the finishing when the 11th hour workers finished the work at end of the world, (See Matthew 20:1-7) Jesus illustrated something the apostate SDA church refuses to acknowledge or in their case admit today.

When ending the parable in which He describes the duty of each church throughout time, He speaks on how earlier workers were upset that workers hired at the end of the day received the same pay as those that worked during the heat of the day. It literally says in Matthew 20:12, "These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day."

This is how the Seventh Day Adventist leaders react to the blessings placed upon the "remnant of her seed" to this day. But, it was never as bold as I have witnessed recently after they discovered the blessings upon the work of the Seventh Day Remnant believers. Many staunch SDA’s started to report back to their pastors that we claim to be the remnant of her seed and so the pastors started a campaign a few years back wherein they complain boldly, "they are the remnant, and they deserve the penny because they worked all day long," when in fact, they stopped doing the work to the point a "remnant of her seed" was hired to finish it just as Jesus predicted.

It's no different than the pride the Pharisees had when they saw their work slipping through their fingers after Jesus and then the Apostles started to draw people into the truth they were no longer able or even willing to share. Those that started the work in the 9th hour (SDA church) became prideful in their position; especially after failing in their duty to the point those in the 11th hour (SDR church) were hired to finish the work and the blessings upon their work were made known globally by many in the SDR church. So, like the Pharisees of old, the SDA leaders became prideful and declare to this day that they are the remnant and they are the ones that deserve the "penny." And so, those that are last fill the places of those that were first just as Jesus prophesied we would.

Bottom line is this. The SDA church knows they are the 9^th hour church. But because that church has been infiltrated by Rome, they now display the fruits of Rome wherein lying is no longer considered sin. What I mean is, everyone knows the SDA church is the 9^th hour church and everyone knows a remnant will leave her number because as the prophecy says in Revelation 14:4, they must follow the Lamb withersoever He goeth. That being the case, two schools of thought have been echoed by the SDA leaders to combat that prophetic fulfillment.

#1, they declare they are the remnant, which anyone that understands prophecy knows is impossible because you cannot be both the 9^th AND 11^th hour church simultaneously.

#2, they declare everyone that has left their number were shaken out due to their sin. In some cases, that is true, but many witnesses have not only come forth in recent days to not only rebuke their pastors, some have left the SDA church to join the SDR church because they see that those their pastors say were shaken out due to sin were actually showing bold fruits of obedience as well as fruits of being blessed by God. Truth was made known to many that those that stay in the SDA church are in fact those that are shaken out of the true church that “follows the Lamb” because the SDA church asked Jesus to leave and so His Bride had no choice to follow her Husband’s lead.

For much more detail on this prophesied fact, I have a page on both the main site as well as SDAapostasy.org that’s called “Seven Churches Four Movements” that puts this all in perfect context. (Click here for the biblical, historical and Spirit of Prophecy facts on why the SDA church can't possibly be the Remnant church.)

#221. Why did you refuse to watch the video I sent to you about a man claiming angels had sex with humans?

I refused to watch it because I already know it’s a lie. Just so you know, people send me books to read, websites to look at and long videos to watch almost daily now. Not to mention all the books and tracts and studies people send in regular snail mail as well. I simply don’t have time to read all that info or watch all those videos. We all have Bibles and we all have the very same God that answers prayer. If we read the Word and ask Him to explain things to us, He will. But to make things easier for you in situations like this. Perhaps this will help you decipher why I didn’t watch the video and how you won’t be tempted to watch it next time either…

What I usually do before watching any video or reading any book is to find out who the author is first. If they’re a Sunday keeper, Atheist, Jew, Muslim or some other strange religion I don’t bother reading or watching at all because they already embrace lies and no matter how much scientific evidence they put forth, no matter how many Bible verses are used, they are in disobedience and their message will be fraught with hidden and even bold errors. In short, lies will be peppered throughout their message. That’s why I didn’t watch the video about a man claiming angels had sex with humans to spawn the Nephilim. The Bible clearly states angels don’t have sex organs nor do they have the ability to create offspring. Since I have read the Bible, it makes it that much easier for me to avoid certain books, and videos that will only waste my time just as the useless stones piled on by Sanballat which he placed there to slow Nehemia’s work in his day.

This is also why I don’t send such videos and books to people because a stealthily placed lie can sound like truth to a babe in Christ and their faith may be compromised by it. I cannot place their faith in jeopardy for two reasons. I don’t want them to fall off the path, and if I am the one that nudged them off that path due to the book or video I sent them, I will be held accountable for that.

For example.. have you ever watched the Discovery channel? Many years ago I bought the DVD set about the world and all its magnificence because I thought it would be interesting to watch as they used very good HD graphics, excellent videography and even some jaw dropping photos making it very beautiful to view, especially for the children who I wanted to educate on God’s amazing creation and how artistic He truly is. But, I noticed rather quickly into those videos that they often sneak their evolutionary ideas by adding comments like, “it took over 1 billion years for this mountain to form” or it took “billions of years for the granite to cool” and so on.

I know God created everything in 6 literal days and I know the mountain formed when the great deep burst forth in Noah’s day and then later moved about in height and even location in the “days of Peleg” when God stretched or “divided” the earth. (See 1 Chronicles 1:19) Scientific evidence has also been unearthed quite recently that the earth did swell at that exact time the Bible says. (See Dr Carl Baugh’s research on this) They have also been able to prove the granite crust was never molten. The Polonium 214 halos still found intact in every piece of granite all over the planet proves boldly that the granite had to have been formed instantly, as the half-life of Polonium 214 is 0.000164 seconds! Had the granite taken more than a quarter of a second to be molten and then harden would mean we would never see those halos in the granite. But they’re there and literally every country on earth has pieces of granite under their feet to prove they’re lying about granite being molten for billions of years. Anyone with a microscope can see those halos to this day! Still, my kids were unaware of those things because they hadn’t read their Bibles yet and so I knew that DVD would plant seeds of doubt within them and so.. I never let them watch the videos without me being present the first time to correct the evolutionary claims echoed in the DVD.

Still.. since you were kind enough to tell me that he is claiming angels mated with humans to bring forth “giants” back then. I know right off the guy is a false teacher. First and foremost, angels cannot have children, get married or even have sex for that matter. Secondly, science has already proven why the giants were here. I actually go into detail on my “evidencein Creation” page with pictures and everything. It has to do with the double atmosphere the planet had before the flood of Noah and nothing to do with scientific experiments gone haywire or angels partying with pretty girls. The dense atmosphere not only allowed for very long life (it slows the aging process because oxygen enriched blood is pushed into organs much deeper allowing for the body to retain its youthful vigor for centuries instead of decades) It also allowed for everything to be much larger as is evident in the fossil record. Hence, the reason for dinosaurs, huge plants and yes, even what we would consider giants by today’s standards.

Hi Ps, What did John mean when he said, ''the law was given by Moses but grace and truth by Jesus? Those who said the law was abolished like this verse very much. The way John put it, it appears to mean Moses was not given the truth and grace.

The way I see that passage is.. Yes, the bluntness and exacting nature of the law was given by Moses to show the end result of breaking it was in fact death. But when Jesus came, the same "truth" still applies wherein if you break that law you would still die at the prophesied second death. BUT, His mercy is assured to all that accept Him as Saviour where in so doing will bless them with perfect forgiveness whenever they repent after they sin. Eternal life is then assured if they walk with Him all their lives so as to prevent suffering the death Satan and his followers experience at that second death.

Nick, I saw the symbolism for white in your Revelation study, but I was searching for the meaning of the "white horse" in Revelation 6 verse 2...A friend of mine wrote a book in which he alleges that Obama is the white horse in Rev. 6...I wanted to see what u thought about that and what the bible has to say about the white horse in Revelation

Obama cannot possibly be the White Horse. He is a bit of a problem today yes, but he is only a pawn of Rome. Why everyone keeps looking away from Rome to try and find some new antichrist to expose someplace else is par for the course today because all the world is in fact wondering after the beast who has many false doctrines plastered in millions of books, videos, and television broadcasts. Confusion rules the world because Satan rules the world.

In short.. it’s this easy to define the rider on that white horse .. as you see in my Revelation study…

How I ask can Obama depict ANY of those features? The man is possessed of Satan, not of God. That means, Obama can NOT be the white horse in Revelation. The Bible definitions are all we must use when proclaiming truth. The only way Obama can be the white horse is if your friend uses his own personal opinion as to what the Bible says. And according to 2 Peter 1:20, ".. no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation."

Now for the crux of the matter. I am sorry to report that your friend is not a Bible reader, is he? Revelation actually tells us who it is on that White Horse. Why your friend is only looking at the horse and not its rider is also par for the course today.

Had your friend read his bible he would have discovered this passage so as to prevent himself from being confirmed a false teacher and now a false prophet in your eyes. The Bible defines all its prophetic symbols on its own. And some it defines them very boldly as we see here.

#224. Who are the 10 kings which receive power with the beast for 1 hour and burn the whore with fire?

As far as my research can take me, I have yet to see who these ten kings are in reality because the powers that be have at present opted not to make this known publicly. Some will say they represent the 10 divisions in Europe at this time, and I tend to disagree with that assumption because the prophecy clearly states those 10 kings will control the planet, not just the continent of Europe. As I have said in many radio broadcasts and Newsletters over the years, what I see happening in Europe is nothing more than the Pope and his cohorts in that region testing the methods the Pope hopes to use on a global basis in his New World Order. They have been testing these things for many decades now and as we look around and see what’s going on worldwide, the New World Order, which will actually employ those kings, is already on paper as we speak. They call it the “club of Rome.” They just need to clean up some lose ends before going public with it all.

Truth is, even for those that don’t study prophecy one can see that the European union has been the testing grounds of a one world Government for quite some time now. In fact I would have a tendency to believe since the treaty was signed by Mussilini and Cardinal Gasspari in the Lateran palace in 1929 making the Vatican a church and state once again, we have seen a steady and quite rapid move towards a global governing entity being tested out in Europe because everything from a State run religion (that being Catholicism of course) to a single monetary system for all nations of that continent have been tested and approved. That being the Vatican invented and inscribed Euro dollar of course. I have seen pictures of Euro coins that have a woman riding a beast on one side, and the Vatican Euro has the pope’s image on the other. Will the Euro be their currency in the days ahead? I doubt it. They need to go digital if they will ever be able to enforce the mark. Me thinks watching the bitcoin or a facsimile of it would be wise at present. In any event, having the prophetic image of the woman on the beast is nothing more than a blunt slap in the face to those that do understand what a woman on a beast means in prophecy!

Plus you can now travel from any nation you please within the European Union without a passport. All you need now is a national ID to travel. Is it any wonder they speak of such an ID in the USA? We call it here theReal ID and yes I have a page all about that on this site as well.

All of this shows the obvious signs of a one world government being tested by the Vatican and her 10 friends. Anyone with any political knowledge knows of the Vatican’s tremendous clout in that region of the World. Especially now that she has 100% authority to bring about legislation with her new permanent seat in the United Nations. It used to be that the Vatican was only a voice in the UN with a mere suggestive power or weakened voice that only found power when a Roman Catholic leader in the UN was moved by the Pope to push it. Now, it has as much authority to bring about legislation as any other power that sits in this Satanic agency.

Years ago I saw a map that was decided upon as a system for this global structure so as to better facilitate the NWO more effectively. In this map the entire civilized world was separated into TEN separate sections with a "Governor" as a leader for each section. No the governors were never named, and it was mostly assumed they stood there under a one world leader in Rome. This is exactly how Pagan Rome structured their empire in their day. The world as we know it will eventually be divided into ten sections. For example, the USA, Canada, and Mexico were considered one section on that map. By the way, this is why strange laws are being passed in Canada, and Mexico that would never have been passed in the USA because of the way the American "people" still have somewhat of a say in politics here. But once Canada, Mexico and the USA all join as one under the NWO we will all have to suffer as one continent of people under these strange laws. I mention this scenario of law passing in Canada and Mexico in many of my Newsletters because the strange laws they pass keep coming up in the news as something we as Americans cringe at. Take the Homosexual laws in Canada for example that cause Christians to go to jail for up to 5 years if the homosexuals they are sharing the Bible with deems it necessary. Not long after we saw the Philadelphia 11 were jailed for protesting the Pink Angels vulgar parade on the east coast on America. And now, homosexual marriage is legal nearly coast to coast. No, the law is not quite the same thing as we see in Canada as it is not on paper here in the USA. But the persecutions of Christians by homosexuals is in fact CONDITIONING the mindset of their friends in DC. And once we become one nation under Rome’s NWO, those laws passed in Canada and Mexico will be automatically enforced in the USA.

Getting back to those ten kings… As far as I can see these governors of the 10 separate sections of the world will eventually become the ten kings that will receive power with the beast for that one hour. And what an hour that shall be. And none of this will happen unless the Protestant denominations join with Rome, as we now see has happened. Everyone from KennethCopeland’s Pentecostals claiming to be Catholics oncamera last February to theSDA church defending the Antichrist from church to church for decades. That is the thread we see running through this present day ecumenical movement of Rome that was set up and sanctioned by Satan at the Vatican II council in the 60’s. They have been manipulating the Protestants ever since the Reformation. And in these last days they are pulling out all stops.

One VERY graphic example that this is working perfectly for Rome, is what I like to refer to as the most popular Roman Catholic commercial ever put to film. I speak of the movie, thePassion of the Christ of course. Yes, it’s been many years since it came out, but all the Protestants flocked to that Roman Catholic pack of lies like it was the Gospel truth. And now everyone from Pat Robertson to Billy Graham are proclaiming that movie to be an accurate account of what happened on Calvary. This is all regardless of the fact that Mel Gibson himself admitted on camera and in writing that he based the movie on the demonic visions of two Roman Catholic mystics.

That movie is literally packed with Roman Catholic dogma and mysticism end to end. Yet every Protestant I run into that has seen it states they came back blessed by it. And to this day I see many Christians and even SDA’s using clips from that blasphemous movie in their YouTube videos. Is it any wonder Jesus said if they say He is in the secret chambers not to go there? He knew what the devil would do before the eyes of the people. Now I am not claiming this movie is a fulfillment of that prophecy in Matthew 24. What I am saying is look around. See how gullible and complacent the Protestant people have now become after just a few short years of packing those theaters? Just a few months before that movie came out Rome was being exposed in the media with hundreds and hundreds of very vulgar and graphic details regarding their molestation lawsuits. And just a few months later, Protestants are now looking at the Pope and his prelates as men of God BECAUSE OF A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE?!

As prophesied, the protestants are now reaching across the gulf to grasp the hands of those that preach spiritualism. They are reaching over the abyss to join hands with that Roman beast just as our Lord predicted in the Word. In so doing the three frogs of Revelation are now jumping onto the same lily pad ready to strike all those that oppose Roman Catholic dogma.

I have heard a sermon recently from a chap I know is co-habiting with another church member, at least when he is home at the weekends. It’s hard for me to accept the Word from someone who is doing the opposite of what he preaches. I am also making some assumptions here. I mean you can share a flat and it might be 100% innocent or platonic, but if I was a betting man etc.

The Word says in 1 Thessalonians 5:22 that we must "Abstain from all appearance of evil." Whether it’s platonic or not doesn’t matter when it comes to Christians and their duty to do what’s right. People looking on will always assume they are living in sin and so he “a Christian” is actually promoting an evil personage by stepping into the home of a woman everyone knows is either alone or his roommate. That man needs to be rebuked and he needs to stay off that pulpit until he shows the fruits of one who obeys the written Word of God.

#226. Hi Pastor, please explain further about those who have to face death 3 times.

NOTICE: The answer given here (in text) is in far more detail than the one given on the audio

Do you recall when Jesus said the following to the High Priest that was setting things up to crucify Him? …

Matthew 26:64, "Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven."

How is it that High Priest, who has been dead 2000 years, going to be able to see Jesus as He comes in the clouds? Jesus certainly didn’t prophesy that the end of the world was to be in that man’s lifetime. But He was prophesying what would happen when the end finally does come for planet earth and for all the wicked. Now notice what is penned later in Joahn 19…

When speaking of Jesus as He was dead upon the cross it says in John 19:37, "And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced."

The reason the Bible says that “another Scripture saith” is because what was said in John 19:37 was a prophetic fulfillment of what was said long ago in Psalm_22:16-17 and Zechariah_12:10. But there is yet another prophetic statement regarding the piercing that coincides perfectly with what Jesus said to the merciless Pharisees that were looking to kill Him. It says in Revelation 1:7, "Behold, hecometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."

That passage is most assuredly speaking about the end of the world when “every eye shall Jesus” splitting open the Eastern sky at His second coming. The fact He is “coming with the clouds” confirms this to be the end as it clearly states in Acts 1:9 that, "And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight."

Now.. and this is very important, as they’re gazing upwards watching Him disappear into the clouds, an angel appears and says this in verse 11, Acts 1:11, "Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."

So again, it’s saying Jesus will come from Heaven on the last day in the same way He ascended to Heaven 2000 years ago, and that’s in the clouds. Keeping that in mind, we need to find out what is meant when Revelation 1:7 said that “they also which pierced him” will see Him in the clouds as well as “wail because of Him” when they see Him. Why is that? Well.. they’re wailing because they now have absolute rock hard evidence with their very own eyes that the one they hated is actually standing before their eyes. He is not only coming to take His children home, he comes as conqueror upon all those that pierced Him when they killed Him 2000 years ago as well as when they pierced Him through all His obedient children through the ages. Notice this…

When Jesus illustrates in a parable about how pleased He is with those that clothed Him, fed Him, visited Him in prison or when they came to Him when He was sick. Notice what is said in… Matthew 25:37-40, "Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

Now, here’s the chilling and sobering truth that many evil people today won’t understand until the very day it happens to them before their eyes. When Jesus illustrated in the same parable about how displeased he is with those wicked and hateful people that refused to feed, clothe, or visit Him, notice what it says in… Matthew 25:44-46, "Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal."

So.. that means.. those that pierced Jesus 2000 years ago as well as the Popes, prelates and civil authorities that killed Christians during the Inquisitions, and all those that have killed them and persecuted them after those days, which includes those that are doing so right now, but actually die of disease or other means before the second coming, they will die THREE TIMES! How do I know this?

One more prophetic fact needs to be understood here. It says in Revelation 20:14-15, "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

I go into much more detail about the second death as prophecy calls it on my “Truth about Hellfire” page. (http://www.remnantofgod.org/Hellfire.htm ) Yes, all the preachers are claiming people are alive for all eternity in hellfire because they must echo Satan’s false doctrine that was started in the Garden of Eden when he said to Eve in Genesis 3:4 that "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:"

In short, the second death is called as such because the majority of the people that refuse to accept Jesus as Saviour but at the same time never persecute His people will only die their natural death, and then at the end of the 1000 years, they will be resurrected to experience the hellfire or “second death” that is permanent. In fact, it says in Malachi 4:3 that after that second death burns them all up, those of us in the city of New Jerusalem "And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts."

That means, the reason it’s called the second death is because they already died at least one time. And then after the 1000 years wherein Satan is bound on earth wandering about with no one to tempt because all his loyal subjects are rotting beneath his feet, they get up again to die the second and eternal death of hellire. Problem is, there are some that pierced Jesus and His followers, and since Jesus prophesied in front of the Pharisees that day 2000 years ago that they will see Him vindicated before their eyes as He comes in the clouds of Heaven, they will have a special resurrection to witness how wrong they were about Jesus and then die their second time during the final plague that causes the earth and all the cities to fall and crumble after we the obedient Christians ascend with Christ to Heaven.

So.. to summarize… and to answer the question as to why some but not all people have to die three times.

Death #1.. They die their natural death
Death #2.. If they “pierced Him” they will “resurrect” to see Jesus “coming on the clouds” and then die in Plague #7
Death #3.. They will resurrect at the end of the 1000 years along with all the others that never persecuted Christians to die in what prophecy calls the “second death.”

Yes, there is, the Jews would always close the gates of Jerusalem on Sabbath day to stop the merchants from bringing in their items to sell on Sabbath. Only the "needle gates" were allowed to be open, and they were the size of a regular door. This is why Jesus said to pray the flight was not "on Sabbath day" in 70Ad. He knew the gates would be closed and so it would be hard to flee the city en masse.

Nehemiah 10:31, "And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt."

PLUS.. we know commandment #4 says not to work on Sabbath or allow workers "within thy gates" on Sabbath as well. That means to buy and sell on Sabbath would be going to a place where people WORK and are PAID for their work.

I know in exodus 35:3, it tells us not to start a fire on the Sabbath, does this mean we cannot heat food, take a hot shower or start our cars on the Sabbath? Thanks and God bless,

In the days of that verse being penned in order to start a fire for cooking or heating water for a bath or shower you had to go outside to the woods, gather wood and kindling, bring it home, get an axe, split the wood, then bring bundles of wood into the home, place the wood and kindling in a fire pit, go back outside to gather some moss or hay and place it in the pit, then you would have to create a small burning ember by rubbing sticks together for anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes, or even longer if you’re not good at it, you then take the glowing embers you just made, place them into the moss or hay that you gathered and then blow on them until the moss or hay ignites into a small flame. You then slowly add small twigs to the burning moss or hay until the flame catches to the twigs and then add the burning bundle of moss and twigs to the kindling placed around and under the logs which will then catch to the logs you split and then you have a fire.

That was a lot of work to do that was not allowed on Sabbath because it was strenuous and very time consuming. This is why most Jews would get the fires going on Friday and just add logs already placed near the fire on Sabbath to keep it going. Today? You just turn a knob on a stove to heat food.

In short.. nothing’s wrong with heating food on Sabbath that was already prepared beforehand for cooking or warming the day before on Friday or “preparation day” as it’s called in the Bible.

Matthew 15:11, "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man."

I assume you seek the answer because someone used this verse to declare you can eat pork or an unclean meat. But, if you read further in Matthew 15 you will find that Jesus was not making reference to unclean meat at all. In fact, if you read the entire chapter you will see that He was making reference to unclean hands. In Matthew 15:20, it is written that, "Theseare the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man."

All too often false teachers and preachers today will take this chapter out of context to sanction the eating of pork, shellfish and even clean foods but with the blood still in them acting as if the doctrine was changed and therefore now perfectly acceptable to eat whatever we want.

Some will also use 1 Timothy 4:3-5 as a way to deceive the people into eating unclean foods, which says some were, "Forbidding to marry, and commandingto abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of themwhichbelieve and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer."

I actually explain this verse in #1 of the Questions and Answers on this page, but since it’s often used as a way to confuse people with Matthew 15:11, it bears repeating here.

If you read verse 3 you will see that verse 4 is speaking of meats "which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving" by His people. Basic Biblical fact here is, His obedient people would NEVER give thanks for a pig or any other unclean meat as Leviticus 11, or Deuteronomy 14 speaks of. If you also look at verse 5 you will also see that these meats are those that are "sanctified" by the Lord. And the Lord never sanctified pigs or other unclean animals.

By the way, some believe if you give thanks to God for the unclean foods God will allow for sanctification upon you or that food. However it is written in Isaiah 66:17, "They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD."

Giving thanks to God for something He never gave to you is the same as saying thank you to me for the $10,000 I never gave you. You cannot “give thanks” to God for something He never gave. Better yet, you cannot thank God for food He specifically outlines in His Word as dangerous for you to eat.

My sister wants to pierce her daughter’s ears. She wants to know if this is acceptable or not. She thinks that having little flower studs should be ok. I personally think all jewelry is bad. What’s your opinion on this?

You are correct in saying all jewelry is bad. In fact Pastor xxx did a sermon series on this back in November of 2014. Part 3 of that series deals directly with jewelry. Click here for the mp3.

If she is open to the truth, and judging by her question, it appears she is, share Leviticus 19:28 with her that says, "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD."

The cuttings, carvings and piercings were done as “reminders” of dead loved ones in ancient times. Many (mostly Roman Catholic Mexicans) still do this to this day. I am sure you have seen tattoos of people on other people and when asked who that face belongs to they say it is a dead sister, brother or friend of theirs. Gang members do this as well. Quite often people even tattoo themselves with faces of dead movie stars. But you’re asking about piercing and so I will concentrate here.

In short, piercings are in fact a cutting into the flesh. And they do in fact have Pagan roots wherein any emulation of them is a glorification of Satan, for it is written "When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land; Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it." -Deuteronomy 12:29-32

Seems pretty clear to me that if the Bible says don’t do it, and the world says it’s ok, being a Christian we must always choose to echo Acts 5:29 that says we should obey God other than man, and this includes fads, fashions, and rituals.

Hi! I have a question about Baptism. Many preachers say that baptism is a symbol of Christ's death and resurrection, which confuses me as Christ (along with many others) were baptized before Christ died and rose for us. What exactly is the significance of Baptism?

Also, since I was never able to fully understand the significance/symbolism of Baptism and the pastors I asked couldn't answer my questions, I wouldn't let them baptize me -- I feel that not only should I know what I'm doing, but the person doing the baptism should be a true believer and not corrupted/deceived/etc. What do you suggest in terms of finding someone to perform the Baptism once I understand its significance?

Thanks. :)

Yes, baptism is to symbolize our faith in Christ’s death and resurrection. For it is plainly written in Romans 6:4, "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."

As for those being baptized before Christ died for us, did they not kill sheep as the lamb sacrifice long before Christ came as Messiah to be the prophesied Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world? To do so beforehand is merely to proclaim the prophecy to be fact and the act of doing also declares faith in the Lord’s promised Messiah. It is and always will be, and act of faith. An open profession of faith before many witnesses in fact.

As for why Christ was baptized, there’s not a lot of information on this in the Word, but I do believe there is truth that can be seen here if I may expound somewhat.

Besides the fact that being baptized by the harbinger to Christ, that being John the Baptist of course, was to confirm John’s message regarding the Messiah, while at the same time allowed him (John) to see the prophetic statement given unto him about the Messiah being the one that came to him that had the Holy Spirit rest upon Him like a dove.

· John 1:33, "And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost."

· Acts 1:5, "For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence."

· Acts 2:38, "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."

Still, and this is where my own opinion has a tendency to come forth, and that’s only because I have yet to discover in His Word wherein this truth is laid out clearly; but, even though Jesus needed not to be baptized, do you recall the thief on the cross? Jesus told him he would be in Heaven when Heaven began, right? But that man was never baptized. Plus, we need to take into consideration that many people throughout time also accepted Christ on their deathbeds which means they were unable to be baptized before death, or some find Him as Lord yet die in an accident of some sort before being able to find someone to baptize them. That means, since Jesus knows our hearts, and He knows when we are sincere; if we truly accept Him as Lord, but somehow never get to baptism before dying, then Jesus takes our place in baptism to “fulfill all righteousness” as He said when John the Baptist asked Him why He wanted to be baptized in Matthew chapter three.

By the way, did not the believers of old back in Exodus also “go through the water” in Moses’ day, who led them out of bondage when they passed through the Red Sea on dry land? Baptism is a very interesting doctrine to say the least. I can go much deeper, but I am a bit pressed for time at the moment as I have hundreds of emails to attend to.

So.. the bottom line is, Jesus came to magnify the Law as well as to fulfill all righteousness. That means anyone that embraces Him as Saviour will see that He does all He can for them as promised many times in His Word. In fact, this is why the “New” Covenant is so amazing. God knew we couldn’t keep His Law on our own, as per the Old Covenant agreement. Mankind proved that at Mount Sinai in less than a month. So, as the prophet Jeremiah predicted long in…

Jeremiah 31:31-33, "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people."

This is why Jesus said “it is by their fruits, ye shall know them.” If we truly have Jesus as Lord, we will be known as a people that keeps His law. Yes, many will claim we keep the law to gain Heaven by works, but if they read their Bibles and understand the truth in this they will see that we don’t keep the Law to GET saved, we keep it because WE ARE saved. The Holy Spirit helps us to keep it as promised.

I pray you were blessed and I didn’t muddy the waters further on this for you.

2 Corinthians 3:6, "Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life."

As I see it, "theletter killeth" means that when man is "under the law" his sin begets death because the Law of God, which is “the letter” mentioned here, cannot be compromised. Sin begets death PERIOD. But the Holy Spirit gives life back to us as we accept Christ as Lord and allow His Spirit to guide us into repentance and into all Truth.

So, onto those that accept Christ, the Word of God reveals the Spirit of life eternal. But to those that do not accept Christ, the letter of the law condemns them to death eternal.

I have read your writings on the Catholic version of Mary and they make complete sense, which I personally believe. I would not dare tell my wife that I believe they are demonic spirits for fear she would be too distraught.

What is your view on the various unexplained miracles that saints have performed and on prayers made to saints that have been answered? Even prayers to Mary that have been answered? Could God be allowing these miracles to happen and prayers to be answered so as to deceive them, in order to tell which of his children really do cling onto his word no matter what?

Miracles prove nothing. It’s the truth in Scripture that confirms Mary and the other so called Catholic “saints” are in the grave unable to hear prayers. Satan on the other hand can imitate dead loved ones and even people some have been taught are to be considered saints. Do you recall how Satan acted like he was the prophet Samuel via the conjuring of the Pagan witch of Endor so as to deceive Saul and the nation of Israel? Is not Roman Catholicism based on Pagan theology, and do they not have similar demons manifesting today just as Saul saw at Endor?

Satan can make it appear as if our prayers are answered, especially when we pray prayers our true God would know is “asking amiss.” In so doing, the Father in Heaven would answer “no” to such a prayer. However, Satan would always jump at the chance to answer “yes,” so as to make the one praying believe their selfish and ungodly prayer was blessed by God when in fact it was used by Satan to lure the one praying into even more sin.

Do you recall when Satan tempted Jesus? Did he not perform miraculous acts in front of Jesus to try to get Jesus to bow to him? This is no different than what Satan is doing today to many Roman Catholics he fears may leave the church and discover the real definition of Christianity. The minute they start to show an interest in Jesus Satan will appear as Mary or any other so called saint to get them to stay in the Roman Catholic church. I recall a few strange manifestations I saw before my eyes when I started to read the Bible right before leaving the Catholic church. Perhaps one day I will expound upon the floating leaf or the demonic landlord, but for now, let’s move.

Bottom line is this. Isaiah 8:20 says, "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."

It also says in 2 Corinthians 11:14 that “Satanhimself is transformed into an angel of light."

Satan knows just how to use his power to make people believe in all sorts of lies. This is why reading the Word of God each and every single day is so very important. Especially today when the devil knows his time is running out. If you read the Word you would know that Mary or any other so called Catholic “saint” can’t possibly be alive or even in Heaven yet, because the state of the dead as per definition outlined many times in Scripture is that they too must await their resurrection when Jesus returns at the end of the world.

See this shortvideo I made about the state of the dead someyears ago that was recently updated to HD. You may be surprised to see what your priest has failed to show his church family as to what’s actually mentioned in the Word of God about what really happens when you die.…

Many people today do not read their Bibles just as the prophecy of Amos 8:11 predicted. And because they don’t read the Bible properly, they can be easily deceived into thinking Mary or other so called saints are answering their prayers when in fact it’s Satan himself doing the miracles.

As I look around I feel as if we are beginning our trek into the ten years Revelation 2:10 speaks of. Am I correct?

Revelation 2:10, "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life."

Truth is, the little time of trouble prophesied to occur right before the plagues coming is what we’re all seeing now. That ten years you’re concerned about already happened long ago.

In 303AD Diocletian set forth a decree to ban Christianity throughout the Roman Empire. He burned as many books and bibles as he possibly could. This caused a massive persecution against the Christians of the day for ten straight years. It ended in 313AD just as prophesied.

What’s worse? His tomb was later turned into a Roman Catholic Cathedral named “The Cathedral of St. Domnius.” But then, Rome was always one to uplift those that killed Christians for them. In fact, the Pope’s throne with those huge serpentine pillars flanking it on all four corners are literally filled with the bones of Christians they slaughtered over the centuries. Not to mention the churches that are decorated with the bones of Christians slaughtered by the Popes of Rome. Seethis video I did back in 2010 that exposes all this. The ending of the video is a bit gruesome so, be prepared.

Getting back to the ten prophesied years that began in 303AD. The man responsible for the 10 years of persecution actually died in 311AD and his decree eventually died down after his death wherein it ended in 313AD. However, some Catholic sources like to make the Bible prophecy appear false with the claim the Diocletian Persecution ended in 311AD with his death. But historic fact is it did in fact last the full ten years just as prophesied in the Christian Bible. His evil actions allowed many weak Christians to bow to Rome out of fear and so the Pagan religion of Roman Catholicism found a well-grounded foothold in the region and then eventually the world. Within 8 years of that persecution, Roman Catholicism spread so far that Constantine became Roman Catholic and enforced the first Sunday laws on March 7, 321AD. I go into some detail on 321ADon my main site as well.

In any event, this banning of and claim of the demise of Christianity has been going on for eons. It started after Jesus shared the truth with the people 2000 years ago. I recall some years back reading a list of people in political power throughout the last 2000 years who claimed they would see Christianity die off globally before they died. If I’m not mistaken I believe Nero was the first one possessed by that crazed demon. In 100% of those cases all those people died and Christ is still blessing people’s hearts to this day.

John 10:34, "Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?"

Psalms 82:6, "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High."

Can u explain theses verses please.. I thought it is sin to proclaim a person is a God.

The statement Jesus is making in John 10:34 is actually a repeat of what He inspired the Psalmist to write in Psalms 82:6. When responding to the comments of the Pharisees who wanted to stone Him for blasphemy when He declared Himself one with the Father in Heaven, He echoed Psalm 82:6 which was speaking of human judges which says, "I said, you are gods." Jesus reasons with the Jews here that if human judges can be called gods, (with a small 'g' of course); then why can't the Son of God Himself be called "God?"

These human judges were only "gods" in the sense that they were standing in the place of God as a mediator for Him when it comes to the affairs of men. They were judging over life and death matters for the people at large on a daily basis.

By the way, one can also see how this same theological statement was carried out when Moses, who was "a god to Pharoah" that Aaron was called to play the part of Moses' prophet in Exodus 7:1 that says, "And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet."

These men were not called "gods" because they were divine beings at all. Truth is, looking at the next verse in Psalm 82 we see the truth is plain as day.

Psalms 82:6-7, "I have said, Yeare gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes."

In short, Jesus was merely confirming His deity when speaking to the Pharisees in John chapter ten. But all too often mankind loves to take Jesus out of context to shore up demonic doctrines prodded by the hatred placed in their hearts by Satan the arch-enemy of Jesus. In fact, I saw a video some years ago wherein Jan Crouch of TBN fame and Kenneth Copeland both twisted this verse way out of context to declare themselves god’s on earth. You can still see these videos on Youtube to this day.

I love the remnantofgod.org website. There is so much info here. I use to go to an sda church and really learned a lot. Should we sit in these 501c3 churches and tithe to them? Do you think God would want us there supporting this? I really just want to know a couple of good points why we shouldn’t. Do you think God wants me there?

The SDA church has become a sister to fallen Babylon just as Scripture and SOP predicted. (See proof here http://www.remnantofgod.org/SDR.htm) And no, the SDA church is not "THE" Babylon of prophecy. That's Rome. But she has joined with Rome in doctrine and hierarchical structure just as the prophecies of old predicted she would. In fact, they admit this in writing in many documents all over the Internet as well as offline in Church archives. See a massive compilation with all the sources regarding these documents here… ...http://sdaapostasy.org/flash/sda2rcc/sda2rcc-hc.htm

As for tithing to the SDA church. First and foremost, as of March 7, 2006 the SDA church as well as all other churches with the 501c3 United States contract have become official Government agencies. (See proof here http://www.remnantofgod.org/image.htm ) That means three biblically verifiable sins are committed by those that stay in the SDA church now.

#1, Revelation 18:1-5 says to come out of Babylon and that includes those that "wonder after the beast" as the SDA church now does. Staying in is a bold and open denial of Jesus Christ as Lord. They wonder after the beast in how they have joined with it in creating an image to it even before the US government gave them powers to lobby law in 2006. And they also wonder after it by numerous videos, magazine articles and pulpit statements the last 2 decades as I recall wherein they uplift the Pope as a man of God and some SDA pastors even declaring him holy on camera.

#2, Tithing to a Government church causes your tithe to help them preach all sorts of Vatican dogma as well as help them uplift the Government's itinerary via the pulpit by declaring their sinful agendas acceptable; as we just saw with homosexual marriage declared acceptable via Loma Linda theologians and two SDA pastors so far calling Allah to be God on camera. This is just the tip of the iceberg of course, but the fact remains not a single General Conference leader has ever rebuked such statements so as to declare Christ Lord and force those fallen pastors to recant.

And yes, some simply decided to say nothing in the church, but their refusal to say anything also helps the government as well as the beast move their agenda forward. The SDA church is now preaching everything from "Allah is God" to "Homosexual marriage is ok" because having the 501c3 means they MUST do as the Government now says or they will lose their 501c3 contract and be financially destroyed with massive fines and excise taxes.

#3, tithing to ANY 501c3 church grants you a tax right off on the tithe. That act alone nullifies the tithe completely because you are not to "gain" by tithing in any way shape or form. Tithing is to be a complete removal from your pocket. Tithing to the SDA church now means you benefit financially by doing so and therefore are not really tithing anymore. The 501c3 is a rather clever demonically inspired action don’t you think?

You also have to take into consideration that since the SDA church has in fact joined with Rome via the US Government; and she has admitted in writing to being in agreement with many doctrinal statements that uplift Vatican dogma that I have listed on SDAapostasy.org, this means the sermons on the pulpits are all infected with Roman theology and will be stealthily placed in all sermons and this is happening because NONE of the pastors have the God given wisdom anymore to understand current events and prophetic fulfillment just as Scripture predicted as the end result of apostasy. So they can’t even see what they’re doing is leading themselves and all their flock into the pits of hell. They are the ultimate example of the blind leading the blind now. When you're disobedient, as 100% of the SDA pastors now are, they are not granted the understanding of prophecy by the Lord because they must repent before being able to understand His prophetic Word. In fact, their disobedience over the last few decades has allowed the church to fall into the depths of apostasy more than ever before. Even a non-SDA can see how evil this church has become now.

That all being said, why on earth would you want to send the tithe to a church that preaches the exact opposite of what you want your tithe to be used to proclaim?

Sorry to bother you again, but can you please explain Matthew 19:12 to me? I can't seem to get a decent explanation from anyone and I trust your ministry.

Matthew 19:12, "For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."

The above passage can most assuredly be a bit confusing, but it is understandable when you consider the way society was back then. First off, a eunuch is someone without the ability to procreate. Some are born that way, as the “mother’s womb” reference clearly intimates; some were castrated by mankind so as to employ them with protecting the riches of their master. For example, they didn’t have banks back then so a rich man would only trust his riches with a eunuch when called away on business because he knew a woman could not tempt him away from his duty being physically castrated and unable to be enticed in that manner. And some would choose to deny the flesh for life so as to better work for the Lord. The apostle Paul can be seen by some as a eunuch in that he stated the following in 1 Corinthians 7:8-9, "I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abideeven as I. But ifthey cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn."

His reference “to burn” is actually saying in today’s language “to burn with lust” for the opposite sex. And no, Paul cannot be compared to Roman Catholic priests because he truly denied his flesh to do the work. Catholics priests are mostly homosexual and only claim celibacy as a cover for their strange lifestyle void of women. The prophet Daniel speaks of them in Daniel 11:37 wherein he says, "Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all."

To hide their lust for strange flesh the Vatican prelates invented the celibacy doctrine to claim as if it was binding upon priests and prelates via command from God Himself by twisting the Word, and in some cases they used Paul’s words that I just shared regarding the way he chose to live. But, if you read the previous passage Paul clearly says in 1 Corinthians 7:6, "But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment." In other words, it was clearly Paul’s choice and not God’s command that he chose to deny his flesh in this manner. Rome ignores that so as to declare celibacy a doctrine of God so as to make some believe their priests are as holy and trustworthy as Paul. But here’s the clincher they all seem to evade when questioned.

Ask the Catholic priest if he believes it is a heaven sent doctrine that all Popes, prelates and priests must be unmarried celibate men and he will say yes. Then ask him if he believes Peter was the first Pope. He will again say yes, and if he is unaware of where you’re going with this and runs off in a huff before getting put in his place; open a Bible and read him Matthew 8:14-15 which says, "And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them."

If Peter was the first Pope, how is it he has a wife? For more info on the real first Pope, see my page titled “The Actual First Pope” at http://www.remnantofgod.org/pope1.htm when you get time.

Do these verses pertain to the third seal when the church put aside the bible for paganism?

Amos 8:11-12, "Behold the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send famine into the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, but of hearing the words of the Lord.; And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it."

In some ways you can see this prophecy reflects that of the third seal in somewhat of a graphic manner, but we can also see how the present day mindset has already shown the prophecy is about to be fulfilled globally so as to be in full fulfillment during the plagues. After all, the foundation has to be set before it gets so bad that the majority are affected by it and we’re seeing that happen now. Many people ignore the Word now and so Amos is proven true, but this evil mindset will go off the charts soon so that during the plagues the lost will be seeking relief in any way they can and because they have never given the Word a second look, they will be unable to find the peace we have experienced even though they look into the Bible earnestly. It’s simply too little too late. They will be especially envious of our place of refuge in the Word as well as the hedge of angels all around us. Not to mention the Holy Spirit’s obvious blanket of peace. In some cases that’s what gets some of them to seek out the truth, but again, since the plagues have already begun, it’s too late. Sad thing is, it will be especially scary for the preachers and pastors that refused to warn them as we do. I certainly wouldn’t want to be in their shoes when that day comes.

#239. Why did God get angry at David for numbering the people? (1 Chronicles 21:1-30)

Hi Pastor Nic, I was just wondering, in 1 Chronicles 21:1-30, why would God be angry at David for taking a census? … Also, can you explain what "iron sharpens iron" means?

Do you remember when David ran towards Goliath when he was a lad? How many ran with him? None, right? He had perfect faith at that time that God would help him defeat Goliath even though he was huge and could easily kill David in a moment. Now, as king, and one who saw God help him in many battles over the years, numbering Israel at this time would be showing a lack of faith in God to help him as He had in the past.

This is why I believe it to be very important to keep a praise list of when God’s hand moves. All too often we have a tendency to forget what He has done for us in the past. In forgetting we start to experience a trial we should not have to deal with because we already lived it. I like to go through my old praise lists from time to time to freshen my memory of all that He has done and in so doing experience a clearer mind as well as stronger faith.

As for iron sharpening iron.. It’s found in Proverbs 27:17 wherein it says, "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend."

Believers back then and Christians to this day are depicted as iron in this statement. This is why Jesus sent them out two by two in Luke 10. When one disciple was weak in one area where the other was known to be strong and vice versa, it was wise to put them together so they could help each other. Jesus knew both walking together would make each one stronger. Kind of like the blacksmith using heavy iron to sharpen a sword of iron that is of a lesser weight. But, when the Christian hangs with a nonbeliever who is weak in faith, neither faith gets stronger because the faith of the Christian annoys the nonbeliever and the faith of the nonbeliever is nonexistent. The end result in this case is the Christian will lose his or her faith. Not only is this a reality wherein I have seen personally come to fruition many times over the last three decades, I also saw this explained as being dangerous in the Word of God wherein it says…

· 1 Corinthians 15:33 Benot deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

· 2 Corinthians 6:14 Beye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

· 2 Corinthians 6:17 Whereforecome out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

· 2 Thessalonians 3:6,14 Nowwe command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

· James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

I need some clarification on how to interpret Mark 13:24, specifically the timing of the “tribulation”. Has it already occurred or is it yet to occur? In some sense, it would seem to be in the past, especially if we believe that the darkening of the sun and blood moon have already occurred. However if it is ahead of us, what events would indicate when we have entered the tribulation?

You’re correct. This already happened. The key part of this passage is what Jesus says happens AFTER the tribulation as you already noticed.

The prophecy about the Sun and the Moon happened AFTER the Vatican stopped killing Christians in large numbers. That is actually the great tribulation Jesus speaks of. I also thought it strange that all the so called teachers of prophecy never seemed to catch the fact that they never mentioned the inquisitions of Rome wherein 500,000,000 died for their faith. How is it possible for such a massive act of persecution like that be missed in the prophetic Word of Christ?

And yes, Rome is still doing it today, but nowhere near as bad as they were before Napoleon forced them into a political mess that required them to focus on damage control which then caused the Pope to eventually die in exile which also caused the Vatican to lose its political power and then stop the killings, but then as was also prophesied they would regain their power in the year 1929 as the prophecy found in Revelation 17:8 that says, "... behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is."

Why are you all attacking other churches instead of just bringing sheep to the fold? I am not attacking you. I am really trying to find out why some churches attack each other, while some just preach the word and not point fingers at others. he that is without sin, cast the first stone. i believe if any church wants to serve God they should just preach the word and pray and let God do the rest by bringing that soul to him. People talk badly against the catholic church, but they seem to not point fingers at others and that is how people follow them.

Please accept what I am about to say with the understanding that I am trying to explain how your mindset would work if in fact it was written into the fabric of Scripture. If I am attacking the Catholic church by showing their flock the dangers of following after their corrupt leaders, then that means Jesus was “attacking” and in sin as well when he pointed out the errors of the Jews in the Synagogue. Better yet, if I was to use that mindset in a prophetic sense then Jesus was in sin when He prophesied about the errors that would lead to the Catholic church becoming the home of Antichrist? I then have to ask, how is that possible?

Bottom line is this treasured one. You know for a fact that the best way for Satan to attack the church is to infiltrate it, act like a believer, and destroy it from the inside. That is what governments also do right? Russia sends spies to act like Americans and vise versa. So, why wouldn’t Satan do that since he’s the angel of death anyway?

The Christian church became a THREAT to Satan. So… he entered it and turned it into a very evil church while at the same time acting as if it’s still a Christian church so as to better infiltrate through the ages. That being said, why do you claim I am attacking YOU? I’m simply a watchman on the wall with a message Christ Jesus prophesied would go forth in these days. You have to admit we are in the last days and if you read your Bible you have to also admit there was to be one global church that would be very evil and today, there is only one church with political and religious power that claims the name of Rome.

I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but I was Catholic 29 years. I saw what this church has become by doing a study called eschatology, which means, I matched prophetic events with those in Historic record to see who did what, where and when and in all cases, when Scripture showed how Satan under the guise of a man of sin would perform many evil acts, it was always the Popes and his underlings doing the evil acts throughout historic record. So, I left the church and have been warning people to get out just as prophecy stated God’s people would do in the last days. Truth is, I love you enough to tell you the truth! “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” - Galatians 4:16 I hope not.

Good day..I want to say thank you very much for the wonderful revelation and interpretations that you've done with regards to the Revelations / Bible Prophecies. Reading it and realizing the truth contained therein sent shivers and shock within me. It totally changes my perspective about Roman Catholicism and the Vatican. Although I've read some texts about them in the past & have some ideas, but never this "In your Face" and actual facts about them backed up with evidences and historical links and facts. You are right!! The Vatican and this Roman Catholicism and its Pope is the "Great Deception" of Satan and realizing it and the sheer size of that church today makes it very successful in deceiving and they are actually set to make their ultimate move given today's situation and technology.

Why do you think a devil chose to shame and expose Pope John Paul II by possessing a girl and showing the people in that televised mass that the Pope has no power over them, thus exposing him as a fraud without any god-given gift to cast away demons? Isn't it better for their cause to just make the Pope seem to have power over them by letting him cast that devil away in front of the people? I think it was a blow to them exposing the Pope. I was thinking, Satan must be very angry with that "devil" who possessed that girl by not causing him to leave when the Pope tried so.

The devil has as much control as the Lord allows. The way I see it is, the Pope actually believes the lies about himself and thinks he has “a” power of sorts either from Satan himself or our God in Heaven. Else he would never have stepped up to attempt that televised exorcism that day.

I agree with you that Satan wouldn’t want him to expose his weakness like that in front of so many viewers. However, God is still in control. If the Pope wants to step forward and make himself look bad, be it for God or Satan, our God allowed him to do so for reasons that will glorify Him later. The good toss of the coin on this one is that many people saw that act and left the church. So, as far as I see it, to God be the glory. But the bad toss of that coin is many now believe Satan is more powerful than Jesus.

What I mean is, we need to keep in mind that as I stated years ago in a Newsletter I did in Novemberof 2002 that allowing the Pope to be defeated in front of everyone allowed Satan to appear stronger to the Catholics that believe in the demonic transubstantiation doctrine. That doctrine states that even if the priest is a killer, child molester, homosexual, drunk or a card carrying Satanist, as an ordained Roman Catholic priest, their doctrine states in writing that he has power over Jesus Christ Himself so as to pull Him from His throne in Heaven by demanding His presence in the Eucharist. Therefore, when we see the demon in that poor soul laughing at the Pope that day, all Catholics could be lured to believe Satan is much more powerful than Jesus because they have been taught to believe since birth that their priests can literally pull Jesus off His throne each day using the hocus pocus of transubstantiation in the Catholic Mass; but even the Pope himself, the so called most powerful Christian in the Catholic church, cannot pull Satan off his.

As the prophet Daniel predicted long ago, this beast in Rome will be a crafty man of sin. Watching his strange actions the last few decades has confirmed that Daniel was in fact inspired by the God of Heaven to state that fact.

I read in the comparison of doctrines of Paganism and the Catholic church: That the "Vatican has a solid gold tiara on display in the Vatican treasury at all times. This is the very crown the Pope will hand to Antichrist when he arrives to impersonate Jesus Christ in the days ahead."

I thought the Catholic Church/Vatican itself is the Antichrist or it is the Pope himself, but why do you state that "The Pope will hand that tiara to Antichrist when he arrives to impersonate Jesus Christ"? Who and what is this Antichrist that will arrive then?

The Popes are the long prophesied Antichrists as are any Luciferians, Masons, Atheists, Muslims, etc. In fact, 1 John 2:18 says, "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time."

When Satan stands on earth before the eyes of man he will be “THE” Antichrist. In other words, he will stand on earth claiming to be Jesus Christ but in reality he will be Satan himself disguised as the Lord Jesus as Revelation described Him in His glory.

In other words, the Popes and antichristians like the Popes are nothing more than heralds for THE antichrist. Their actions and strange statements have done nothing more than build the foundation for Satan to stand on wherein he can and will claim to be Jesus Christ incarnate.

Since Jesus rose Lazarus and others from death before He died, how is it the Word states Jesus is the first to arise from death?

Many misunderstand Paul's statement here wherein he declares Jesus "should be the first to rise from the dead..." They also wonder why he repeats this in 1 Corinthians...

Both passages are saying the same thing. Difference here is, in Acts, Paul is not explaining in as much detail because King Agrippa was a well-educated Jew who understood what "firstfruits" meant. In Acts 26:27 Paul admits he knows Agrippa's understanding when he says...

Truth is, the Jews back then understood that Messiah was to be the "firstfruits." It’s just that in today’s world people can't seem to understand why Paul is saying Jesus was the first to raise from the dead, when He raised a few people from death in His ministry before He died and arose.

The word "firstfruits" is defined in a way that says the person associated with this title is superior in excellence to others of the same class. (See Strong’s # 536) There was something far more excellent with Jesus than with the others He raised from the grave. Basic reality here is, Jesus was the only one out of all those that were raised from the dead that not only never committed a sin, He is also the only one that had actually been IN HEAVEN before being on Earth.

To further illustrate the definition of the the word "firstfruits," we see it is also used to describe the 144,000 in Revelation 14:4 in the same manner.

No, they weren't in Heaven beforehand, but they will be "more excellent" then anyone else alive at that time because they are the first ones to ever walk perfectly in Christ while still in the flesh. Their lives testify that yes, man can walk with Christ while on earth and in so doing they are used by our Lord to forever end the controversy between Christ and Satan!

In short.. Satan lied. Mankind can walk with the Holy Spirit in perfection and be one with Him just as Jesus walked among us in perfection being one with the Father. Jesus came to show us a perfect example no matter how many lies are declared by Satan’s wolves. Truth will always come to light. After all, is it not written in Matthew 5:48 that Jesus Himself said, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."

Hi! I have a question about Baptism. Many preachers say that baptism is a symbol of Christ's death and resurrection, which confuses me because Christ, (along with many others) was baptized before Christ died and rose for us. What exactly is the significance of Baptism? Also, since I was never able to fully understand the significance or symbolism of Baptism and the pastors I asked couldn't answer my questions, I wouldn't let them baptize me -- I feel that not only should I know what I'm doing, but the person doing the baptism should be a true believer and not corrupted/deceived/etc. What do you suggest in terms of finding someone to perform the Baptism once I understand its significance?

As for those being baptized before Christ died, did they not kill sheep as the lamb sacrifice long before Christ even came as Messiah for thousands of years? To do so beforehand is merely to proclaim faith that the prophecy is fact and will be fulfilled just as it is written. It is and always will be, an act of faith. Better yet, it's an open profession of faith before many witnesses in fact.

As for why Christ was baptized, there’s not a lot of information in the Word on this, but I do believe there is truth that can be seen here if I may expound somewhat. Besides the fact that being baptized by the forerunner to Christ; that being John the Baptist, it was to confirm John’s message regarding the Messiah he spoke of while at the same time allowed him (John) to witness the prophetic statement given unto him about the Messiah being the one that came to him for baptism that had the Holy Spirit rest upon Him like a dove.

John’s baptism was regarding repentance. Christ’s baptism however was much greater.

Still, and this is where my own opinion has a tendency to come forth; and that’s only because I have yet to discover in His Word wherein this truth is laid out clearly; but, even though Jesus needed not to be baptized, do you recall the thief on the cross? Jesus told him he would be in Heaven when Heaven began, right? But that man was never baptized. Plus, we need to take into consideration that many people accept Christ on their deathbeds to this day who are unable to be baptized before their death; or some find Him as Lord and Saviour yet die in a multitude of ways before finding a preacher to baptize them. That means, since Jesus knows our hearts, and He knows when we are sincere; if we truly accept Him as Lord, but somehow never get to baptism before dying, then Jesus takes our place in baptism to “fulfill all righteousness” as He said when John the Baptist asked Him why He wanted to be baptized in Matthew chapter three.

Yes, many came to John seeking the baptism of repentance by confessing their sins. Christ on the other hand never had to confess a single sin. The guilt of sin however was to be charged to Him as the sinner's substitute was it not? No, Jesus did not come to repent either because He never sinned, but He came to be baptised on behalf of the sinner. Hence the reason He said "to fulfill all righteousness."

By the way, did not the believers “go through the water” in Moses’ day when they passed through the Red Sea on dry land? Is it not written in 1 Corinthians 10:1-4, "Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ."

There is more than one way to see this passage that speaks of Christ’s first miracle at the wedding feast in Cana. First off, the doctrine of the Jews was as plain water, without any substance. The attendance of our Lord and Saviour at this wedding is no mistake. The symbolism surrounding it speaks volumes unto the soon commencing work of Christ. The water changing to new wine is to symbolize Jesus giving what some would naturally think to be "new" doctrine unto them. Even though it was thousands of years old, it was forgotten by most thanks to the corrupted teachers of the Law and their wishy washy traditions and doctrines. Jesus came to speak truth and He exchanged the Jewish false doctrines with the truthful doctrine as it has always been in Heaven.

Whenever I think of the materialistic Pharisees who demanded strict obedience to their fabricated doctrines and traditions I am often reminded of Proverbs 25:14 that says, "Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain." Their doctrines, no matter how severely they were ordered upon their subjects, were like useless vapors or clouds without rain when it came to truth as it is written.

Also notice that after tasting the new wine Jesus created, the wedding governor stated, it was saved until "the end" of the wedding feast and not given at the start like most usually did in those days. This is also to symbolize how the obedient Christians understood more of the truth presented by Christ during His ministry than the Pharisees did. This also applies to us in today's world because we certainly are at the end of time. And His truth has been opened up to us as prophesied by Daniel the prophet.

Wine in prophecy is defined as doctrine. That being the case, do you recall our last gathering for communion and the reading of 1 Corinthians 11:25 that says, "After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me."

The way the truth intertwines into reality here is so amazing to me! What I mean is, we not only see the cup of new wine being offered at the last supper as representing the pure teachings or doctrine of Jesus Christ, or “new testament” as He described it that day; it also represents His blood being spilled for our salvation; which leads to the second way of looking at this new wine being offered at the wedding feast.

What Jesus did at the marriage supper in Cana can also be seen as a symbol regarding the prophesied act of salvation for all mankind. When we are baptized in water, we are baptized into his death. The new wine He miraculously supplied at that wedding therefore represents the shedding of his blood on Calvary. And He didn’t just make one jug of this new wine either. He made enough for everyone at that wedding feast just as He offers salvation to every soul on earth so they too can attend the soon coming wedding feast in New Jerusalem.

And yes, this also means Jesus would never have created fermented wine at the wedding feast or would have offered fermented wine at the last supper because the new wine Jesus presented that day was perfect and pure just as the truth He preaches, whereas fermented wine would be corrupt and defiling just as the false teachers preach. We also need to realize that even though His blood spilled that day it was not allowed to rot in the grave, further confirming His blood was just as pure and undefiled as was the wine at the wedding and the last supper.

As for additional passages that declare wine in prophecy = doctrine, see my “Revelation defined” page and scroll to the word “wine” when you get time.

Deuteronomy 22:5, "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God."

Satan goes against this biblical doctrine often. Especially today as we near the return of the Lord that penned that passage. He uses everything from Halloween to Hollywood to push it as being acceptable. Not to mention homosexuality wherein the men wear women’s clothing while in drag and the women wear the clothing of the man. This is why Hollywood movies like Mrs Doubtfire were so popular years ago and why Ellen DeGeneres wears pants as well as suits designed for men on her talk show. This blurring of the line between the genders no matter how trivial is the ultimate mockery of the Lord’s creative design. I also believe this is why many men, myself included, in the 60' and 70’s were tempted to have long hair and many women like Twiggy had extremely short hair. It was once again a blurring of the lines regarding God’s creative design between the genders.

Fashion designers have for decades done all they can to imitate the opposite sex, as nearly as possible so as to blur the lines which can then allow for all sorts of decadence wherein we now see with transgenderism. Yes, we have had to deal with homosexuality for decades in our generation alone, and yes that demonic act is a direct attack on God’s creative design when it comes to the creation of marriage in Eden. But I believe the transgender movement is a direct attack on that which was penned in Deuteronomy 22:5 so as to mock the Lord. And this is why fashion designers do as they do. They allow the general public to have the excuse offered them that says, these pants originally designed for man are now also designed for a woman and so it’s acceptable to society when a woman wears pants.

But for those among us that are older than myself I would have to ask if you recall how it was considered an abomination when women first started wearing pants in the 1940 and 50’s? Yes, they wore them before then, but not on TV, and not in ways that openly promoted it in society as we saw Hollywood do. Many preachers came forward with Deuteronomy 22:5 as well as other statements in the Word regarding God’s unchangeable design. After all, do we not worship a God that never changes or not?

But were you also aware that this wearing of pants by women was an issue centuries ago? And you’ll never guess who chimed in on it making it perfectly acceptable in society at that time for women to wear pants. Way back on November 13 in the year 866 AD, PopeNicholas I wrote to a King named BorisI of Bulgaria the following words. He said "Whether you or your women wear or do not wear trousers neither impedes your salvation nor leads to any increase of your virtue" (TheResponses of Pope Nicholas I to the Questions of the Bulgars A.D. 866 (Letter 99), translated by W. L. North (1998) from the edition of Ernest Perels, in MGH Epistolae VI, Berlin, 1925, pp.568-600.)

That’s right, the act of mocking the Lord by tempting women to wear pants was first sanctioned by a Roman Catholic Pope. And as expected, confusion moved on from there even in the church of Rome because a man called “Thomas of Aquinas” who most Catholics to this day consider to be a saint and a recognized theologian, taught, and I quote, that "outward apparel should be consistent with the estate of the person, according to the general custom. Hence it is in itself sinful for a woman to wear man's clothes, or vice versa; and it is expressly forbidden in the Law.” ("SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Modesty in the outward apparel (Secunda Secundae Partis, Q. 169)") And he even went so far as to quote the passage in Deuteronomy 22. So as usual, Rome put forth both the lie and the truth to keep the people in confusion so as to prevent a loss of moral authority. When they openly want to sin they do so, but to prevent losing face they have a theologian openly correct them in writing. This allows for the worst and best of both worlds. Still, even though Thomas said what he said, he was no Pope, and so as expected, most trusted the Pope’s comments over that which Thomas quoted from Deuteronomy.

By the way, the church pioneers in the 1800’s had to speak on this issue with women wearing pants to the point of declaring it the American costume. But it wasn’t much of an issue with American women until Hollywood put out a movie called “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” in 1961 wherein Audrey Hepburn wore pants. And as expected, the moguls of Hollywood were used by Satan to popularize the act of cross dressing first with women and as we have seen the last few decades with movies like Mrs Doubtfire, we see them now focusing on men to cross dress too. In fact, I think this is why Hollywood Actor Will Smith’s son keeps appearing in the News and all over the Internet wearing dresses. Still, what Hollywood did in 1961 with Hepburn did cause a big problem and all the preachers were against it and made a lot of comments regarding it from all pulpits. But once women saw that movie, like the ones that agreed with the Pope in 866AD, they were embolden to emulate Hepburn's bold new fashion anyway and the truth as it was written by the Lord was ignored by most and the rest is history.

In any event, for women to wear pants, and for men to be wearing dresses, this so called fashion or as some call it, an alternative lifestyle; all of it is nothing more than a reversal of God’s design when it comes to how men and women should dress.

Following the lead first put forth by Satan and then adopted by Rome and Hollywood is something men and women of God have to consider when deciding what they will do. I have to say, since we know our Father in Heaven is a God that never changes and we know that He knows exactly who is behind the fashions of mankind, this style of dress we see today in the churches is something we know for a fact our God would not approve of in any way shape or form.

There are no gray areas in His Word blurring the lines of gender be it in fashion or lifestyle. Truth is truth in its purest form and any step off that platform etched in eternal Word of God is a step towards worldliness and Romans 8:5-8 says, "For theythat are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. Sothen they that are in the flesh cannot please God."

In short, for a man to wear a dress, or a woman to wear pants regardless of who the designer says it was made for is not at all fitting for the modest, humble woman or man of God that professes to be Christ's obedient follower. We have His Word and therefore should obey it.

#248. Are we SDA? What was the 1844 cleansing? Does the great disappointment factor in?

Hello Nicholas! I really appreciate your videos; they help me a lot with my journey with God. I know that Jesus is coming very soon, and I would like to ask you a few questions.

-Are you an SDA?
-What was the 1844 cleansing of the church?
-Does the Great Disappointment have anything to do with it?

No I am not SDA, that church has fallen as prophesied. I am of many in the prophesied “remnant of her seed” as Revelation 12:17 predicted.

Revelation 12:17, "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

If you do an in depth study into all the symbols in this passage, which I have done on a page titled, Sevenchurches four movements you will see that the SDA church is spoken as the woman here in prophecy and in history she is the ninth hour church. The remnant of her seed are those that have left the apostate SDA church. Revelation 14:4 speaks of us when it says, "These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb."

The SDA church demanded Jesus leave their midst decades ago and so those that follow the Lamb withersoever He goeth, left with Him back then and continue to leave whenever the truth is made apparent to them. See more on the apostate SDA church on my sister site at www.SDAapostasy.org

As for the 1844 cleansing of the church, it was the final fulfillment of the 2300 year prophecy found in Daniel 8. The cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary transpired at that time. In other words, instead of coming to earth at the end of the 2300 year prophecy as they assumed, Christ entered into the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary to perform the closing work of atonement which will then prepare all that’s needed for His second coming. And that is why they were so disappointed. They thought Jesus was returning October 22, 1844, when in fact He was merely stepping into the most Holy place. Their mistake was based on the belief that the earth was the Sanctuary and seeing how it was to be cleansed on that date as Daniel prophesied, they assumed that meant October 22, 1844 was the day Christ would return.

And yes, this great disappointment was also prophesied in Revelation 10:9-11 which says, "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. And I took the little book out of the angel's 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. And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings."

The little book or message as we understand it to be was indeed sweet in the mouth in that declaring Christ is soon to come is indeed a sweet message to proclaim. But when October 23 came and the Lord had not come, it was very bitter in their bellies when they realized they were mistaken. They knew the Bible wasn’t wrong of course, it was their interpretation of it that had to be re-studied and that is what they did. And so, from that day forward the three angels message was in fact “prophesied again” as the Lord commanded only now it is the obedient remnant of her seed that are doing so. This is confirmed in how we notice how Revelation 12:17 describes the last days. The dragon, or Satan as Revelation 12:9 defines is angry with the woman. That woman is the SDA church and yes he is angry with her for what she did to his agenda in the 9^th hour. But he is not making war with her because she has now become apostate. He is making war with the remnant of her seed. This is why we keep seeing attacks upon this church both physically and spiritually. But that will never slow the work any more than Sanballat’s useless stones tossed in Nehemiah’s pile when he was rebuilding the wall. For we are the repairers of the breech now and just as Nehemiah’s work was blessed to completion, so will our work be blessed and that is why Satan is making war with us.

#249. Why did Jesus purposely heal the man at Bethesda on Sabbath day? (also see #211)

Wouldn’t it be considered wrong to do certain things on Sabbath that the Jews of old declared to be wrong? It doesn’t appear wholly explained why did Jesus purposely heal the man at Bethesda on Sabbath day? And why did He specifically tell him to take up his bed and walk where all the Jews were bound to see him?

John 5:8-11, "Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk."

Before answering; this question coincides with the answer shared in question #211 wherein the question was, is it ok to use electricity on Sabbath day.

It appears to me that Jesus did all this on Sabbath day to make a point because He knew how the Pharisees would react. As Jesus said in Luke 11:46, "Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers."

In other words, Jesus was rebuking the teachers of the law on how they put burdens on men that they themselves wouldn’t even obey. And none of these so called religious rituals were found in the Word of God as necessary to be performed on Sabbath day. They made the Sabbath a very difficult day to keep holy. These men even went so far as to walk around on Sabbath day looking for people to rebuke so as to make their authority that much more burdensome. This is why Jesus purposely told the man to take up his bed and walk.

Jesus did all that because He knew He would have audience with the Jews before the people to better educate them regarding the keeping of the Sabbath. If the teachers of the law were correct in all their strange rituals and burdens, then the Father in Heaven was in error. After all, this is how Satan has preached from day one. He told one third of Heaven that he was right and God was wrong, he told Eve that God lied and he told truth, and he has been spewing the same idiocies for eons into the ears of billions of people since time began.

Reason I say the Jews were teaching via Satan’s inspiration that our God was at fault was because, if the Pharisees had the power they would shut down every aspect of life on Sabbath day so as to force the people to keep it holy. In so doing God would look evil to all looking on.

Since creation week our Lord has been instrumental in upholding every aspect of life on earth and in the Universe every second of the day. If the teachers of the law were correct then our God was at fault for allowing the Sun to rise, the planet to spin, the stars to shine, the ocean and all rivers, lakes and streams would have to stop flowing, the trees, flowers, grass, fruit and vegetables would have to cease growing. The bees would stop pollenating, the birds would stop singing, and if you want to get real technical about it, every soul on earth would have to stop breathing and therefore sleep during the Sabbath hours each and every week, and because the Lord doesn’t allow that to happen, the teachers of the law can easily instill in the minds of men that in some way our Heavenly Father is at fault and they, the teachers, are to be worshiped instead.

There is a website you might be interested in. If you go to a search engine and look up Investigative Journal Catholic Arizona telescope you should find the website. A telescope was placed on Mt Grahm an indian holy place and named Lucifer by the Catholic Church.

Yes, I’ve known and spoken on this telescope some years ago. Some claim the telescope is proof they fear an alien invasion is inevitable, but nowhere do we find such an agenda prophesied. Yes, Rome did start the alien and UFO lie centuries ago. In fact I have a NewsletterI did back in July of 2008 on this wherein I have actual paintings found in the Vatican with UFO’s in them so as to bolster this agenda. Will they use this to bring about an alien visitation using holograms, and is this why the controlled media keeps claiming scientists have discovered new habitable planets every other week ? I have no clue. If they do use an alien invasion or first contact scenario the elect won’t fall for it because we know those aliens would be nothing more than holograms or actual demons playing a part for the man of sin in Rome.

There is one scenario that I can think of as to why they have this telescope. As I mention on my we are very near the end page, there is a cloud coming out of the Orion Nebula thatas prophecy predicts, will be seen by all on planet earth. When I think of all the evidence I have compiled over the years that the prelates in Rome are nothing more than Pagan who from ancient times have always worshipped Satan as their god, that fallen angel knows his time is short and so he has somehow been able to convince some of his fire bound subjects into keeping an eye on the Orion Nebula. Seeing how he knows prophecy better than any of us and seeing how he knows exactly where the kingdom of Heaven is located now, having advanced noticed about that cloud that is already headed this way will make it that much easier for him to gage his next move so as to not only bring about a world wide deception regarding the cloud as well as the fact it’s coming from outer space, he also needs to be able to have the time necessary to enforce his mark on as many souls as possible all over the world.

This is what always confuses me about this so called super-intelligent being called Beelzebub. Since it’s obvious that he knows about all the prophecies so as to create smokescreens around them, he must also know that the existence of the Gideon band itself confirms Christ will always have an obedient people on earth till that eastern sky splits and Satan will most assuredly fail. The “Lucifer” telescope and the alien agenda appear to be nothing more than another confusion of the truth so as to keep everyone looking in the wrong direction as the Lord gets closer.

On one hand I can see them using that telescope to make people think the Vatican has hidden secrets about extraterrestrial life on other planets, while on the other hand it offers them an obvious your face reality that they are in fact keeping their eyes glued on the eastern sky so as to all that their dying god would have them do before it’s all said and done.

Hi nicolas, is it ok to play a game of say tennis on sabbath day or to go swimming on sabbath? I know there are many scriptures forbidding work and buying and selling on sabbath day but are there any scriptures that forbid playing games or having fun? We believe, "precept upon precept, line upon line" but where are the scriptures that forbid fun/games on sabbath, if any. I want to do and teach what is pleasing in God's sight but i need scriptures, can you please help? Thank you for your time, God bless.

This is one of the easiest questions to answer in that we have a rather blunt thus saith the Lord on it. Some of you may already know about this passage but for the sake of the young in Christ I will share it anyway.

When you have a desire to do something on Sabbath day that the Holy Spirit within you moves you to wonder if it’s ok to do so, read these two verses in the book of Isaiah and then go forth from there.

Isaiah 58:13-14, "If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it."

Good day sir..i have a question.. did Jesus eat the fish whom the disciples gave as stated in luke 24:41-43? thank you God bless you

Luke 24:39-43, "Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them."

The Bible isn’t clear regarding whether or not Jesus ate the fish offered Him that day. But as I do a line upon line and precept upon precept I come to the conclusion that no I do not believe Jesus ate fish after He resurrected.

First of all, if you do a short Bible study and you will find the word "meat" was associated with different types of food. For example, flesh, baked goods and even fruit were called "meat" in the Old Testament numerous times. So... did Jesus eat the fish? Or was it that He was offered fish and honeycomb, but "chose" to eat only the honeycomb?

Please take note that He was also offered gall on the cross at Calvary to drink and it is obvious that He chose not to drink it. It says in Matthew 27:34, "They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink."

Just because Jesus is offered something to eat or drink, does not mean He will automatically eat it. We must also keep in mind that there is no meat eating in Heaven. All present in His kingdom will be enjoying the diet of Eden wherein no animals were killed to satisfy the hunger. Plus, Jesus is the Creator and He just stepped out of Heaven to appear unto the apostles. I find it out of character that while in Heaven he would not eat fish and then a few seconds later when He appears on earth He will. Plus.. prophecy did touch on His diet long ago did it not? It says in Isaiah 7:14-15, "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good."

I know some may see that as a far stretch towards answering the question. But, again the Bible does not give a thus saith the Lord on this in a single passage. So, as we see with some other doctrinal meat in Scripture, the line upon line and here a little and there a little instruction is the best way for erring man who still looks through glasses darkly to get a glimpse at what the truth is on this one.

Hi pastor nic, I am really worried about Hebrews 10:26. I've at times given into temptation and wilfully sinned. Although I have only had the knowledge of truth for a couple of months, I fear that there is no more sacrifice for my sins.

Hebrews 10:26, "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"

That passage in Hebrews 10 speaks of those that deliberately decide they can no longer obey Christ because they think it’s too hard to give up their sinful ways and so choose to “sin willfully” from that day forward. They are the type of people that accept Christ as Lord who actually have their seeds tossed on the stony ground that Jesus illustrates in the parable of the sower of seeds in Mark chapter four.

When everything from spiritual trials, fleshly temptations and even persecution from friends and loved ones make them feel Christianity is “no longer fun” for them and so they go back to their old ways. With such as these there is no more sacrifice for their sins expect their own lives being offered up at the end of the 1000 years in hellfire.

As you read on in the chapter you see in Hebrews 10:39 that it says, "But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul."

Basic reality in all this is, the fact your sin bothers you deep in your heart verifies that you have not “drawn back unto perdition.” Unlike the reprobate who gives up and returns to his vomit of sinfulness, you have obviously not given up on Christ.

Truth is, every Christian will sin and yes even sometimes willfully. But willfully sinning one day and repenting the next is not what this passage is speaking of. It’s when the soul sins willfully one day and has no intention of repenting the next day that confirms salvation has been lost.

Satan is very busy attacking God’s people and yes, we are very weak at times. But the difference with the true Christian heart and the reprobate mind is that when the true Christian sins we actually grieve deep within and seek forgiveness for the sin. The reprobate simply gives up thinking Christianity is impossible to follow and then goes back to their old ways and dies in their sins. But the obedient Christian seeks repentance because it bothers them that they have disobeyed their heavenly Father.

Notice what it says in 1 John 1:8-10. It says, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."

This passage shows that you are going to sin, but at the same time, as an obedient Christian, you will seek forgiveness, and because the Lord PROMISED to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness, you are blessed and will make it home to Heaven.

Howdy! I don't know if this is the right place to contact you, but I'm in need of a little advice. My friend's parents are devout Catholics and have been for many years now. Her mother is especially stubborn when attempts to open her eyes are made, and she dismisses everything and shifts to the 10 commandments and 'respecting your parents'. I'd call that cop out. I advised my friend to arm herself with scripture, and that it be better to be ridiculed for telling the truth than to save any hurt feelings on a lie. They're good people, but man are they stubborn. Is there any way to gently lead them towards figuring things out for themselves? I'm not sure how to tackle this. I wonder how Jesus dealt with stubbornness.

Roman Catholics are under a strong delusion. See 2Thessalonians 2:10 and on. Not much can be done as the only reason for being Roman Catholic is based on fear. What I mean is, all Catholics today are the ancestors to the weak Christians who during the Inquisitions of Rome wherein hundreds of millions were tortured and killed by the Catholic priests, they all refused to accept Jesus as Lord because they feared being burned alive and buried alive if they denounced the Popes and their easily proven false doctrines.

Satan has all Catholics in a strong vice of heresy wherein many approaches have come up useless to help them see. But, there’s still hope. My experience over the many years of trying is, still share the seeds of truth with them, because they cannot unhear them, and then pray for the Lord to send more with the same truths over the years. But keep praying because prayer seems to be the only way most are pulled away from the lies of Rome as well as the many printed facts shared with them from time to time wherein eventually the seeds planted by the caring Christians sprout fruit and they leave the church.

There is so much dirt on the Roman church that finding something to show the Catholics about how evil their leaders are is an easy task. So much so that in just the last decade or so I have been able to compile quite a large pile on my site that is filled with information about all the prelates of Rome from the Vatican leaders to the cloistered nun.

The most popular pages to date that have helped some Catholics see are the “Black Pope” page, the “Actualfirst Pope” page and the “Characteristicsof Antichrist” page. Sharing some of these facts time and again may eventually hit the mark in their hearts that has fertile soil and a child of God can be born.

Truth is, thanks to the evil antics of the present Jesuit Pope, it’s become somewhat easier at times to help some Catholics see today. But, be prepared. Even though I have a mountain of evidence and even though I have all the sources to back up the facts and many of them are from the Vatican archives themselves; some Catholics will use the age old excuse that those facts are bogus. But, if that were the case, why is the mountain so large? One would think the still ongoing molestations would convince many to leave, but sin, as it is well embraced by the dogma of Roman Catholicism, which by the way is 86% Pagan, and theyactually admit this in writing, it is still a powerful tool for Satan to keep the people in his clutches because the flesh is an easy tool to use against most people. As strange as that may seem, but is always the case, we are all our own worst enemies when it comes to the reasons some will burn. After all, just as salvation is a choice, so is the sin some choose over it.

I have a question, what happens when we are no longer online? What is to become of us as a church family? I’m just asking out of curiosity. Being here in FL and not sure were any other brothers or sisters are located. Will I just be on my own?

We are already working on that. The mailed newsletter will help us keep in touch, all the SDR site studies will be on USB drives for all to use by then and they will be able to use them in their own work on the street. The teleconference will hopefully still be online as well. But the most important thing is to be obedient to the Lord. That way, no matter how far apart we are, we will still be close to our Lord who will direct our every step as He did for David when he was always a step ahead of Saul. And David didn't have GPS like most today have. Just trust the Lord and He will guide you to where He needs you to be.

If you notice on the entry page of the poGm Conference room one of the brother's in the chruch created an outline we can all keep handy in the event the church conference room is offline. It's on the bottom of the page. It says the following...

Seventh Day Remnant Church Emergency Communication PlanEVENT: Internet Outage/loss of web site connection

When we are knocked offline we will most assuredly be able to keep in touch. All members of the church should be very careful however as to who you share your private info with when it gets close as we must realize the enemy will send people into the church to befriend people. This is something we all need to fine tune as we have witnessed in recent years that even after someone leaves the church in a bad way or is disfellowshipped, some members have been disobedient to the Lord in regards to Matthew 18 and 2 Thessalonians 3:14 and so by then we must pray that everyone is aware as to who they can really trust. One infiltrator at that time can cause the deaths of many. Being obedient to Christ doesn't just entail stopping sin, it also means we will follow His lead in every aspect of Gospel order so as to assure the hedge of angels are always around us.

Greetings Nic,
When the mark of the beast is enforced I won’t be taking the mark, but my wife who is a non believer will and so will my kids. At the moment they are only 2 & 5 months old. I was wondering are our children able to receive the mark or not receive the mark based on our actions.

As I understand it, the Word of God declares the age of accountability to be 20. I also know that many babies will “grow up as calves in the stall” in Heaven. (See my Heaven page for all the verses) I also understand that none of us are held accountable for the sins of our parents. In fact it says in Ezekiel 18:20, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him."

One has to also understand that children cannot buy and sell anything anyway as they are children. So it is obvious to me that they will not be called upon to receive the mark. Still, the buy and sell portion of the mark can go on for years. We don’t know how long. If it goes on for 5 or even 10 years some children will grow up and eventually be asked to make the decision because by then they will have the wherewithal mentally and spiritually to actually make such a decision. I have no doubt they will stretch the buy and sell laws on for quite a while for at least two reasons.

#1, it will allow the weaker Christians the opportunity to cave in and receive the mark after being unable to pay their bills or even buy food.

#2, the longer they drag it out the more normalized it will become. Many weak Christians will eventually become complacent after a while and assume since the death penalty has yet to be enforced that it may never be enforced and perhaps the prophecy is wrong and so they will receive it as well.

That being as it is, I must declare as I still “look through glasses darkly” that if the children are very young when it's all said and done there will be a lot of children in Heaven.

What happens when a person becomes a Christian and their spouse does not become one at th same time, or what if a teenager becomes a Christian and his parents are not. Are they in sin if they are forced not to tithe?

It depends on how the money is coming into the house. If the husband is a nonbeliever and the breadwinner of the family and the wife is a believer who has no income at all, then there is no sin. If her husband gives her an allowance of money then she can tithe on that sum, but she cannot force her husband to tithe his money if he does not believe. Same goes for the teen, but with a twist. What I mean is, if the teen has a job, but his parents control his paycheck, there's not much he can do if they demand to see how every dime is spent. He can ask to be able to tithe, but more often than not the nonbelieving parent won't allow it. So again, no sin there either. In fact it says in Numbers 30:2-5, "If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth. If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth; And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her."

In other words, if the teen decides to tithe and the parents prevent the tithe from being sent, the Lord forgives the teen, but the parents are in danger of damnation.

Do you know what the biblical definition is of legion? I was checking your symbols of Revelation defined page that maybe it would be there and I notice it's not.

No, the word 'legion' will not be found on my Revelation defined page because that word is never used in Revelaiton. However, there is a way to define it by simply looking into the three verses in the Word that do use that word. It's found in Mark 5:9, 15 and Luke 8:30. Let's look at Mark chapter five as that is where the name is used and the definition of it is also given a few verses later.

Mark 5:9-13, "And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand) and were choked in the sea."

So there you have it. The demons declared themselves a legion and when they were cast into the pigs it turns out that 2000 pigs drowned.

Hi pastor nicholas,

Who are the crowd that 's spoken of in Rev 7:14. ? I was taught they were a great crowd of people along with the 144,,000 that came out of the tribulation.

To get the context of what's happening we need to read the verses before verse 14.

Revelation 7:4, "And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel." The apostle John then records the number of obedient people in each tribe at this point and then says in Revelation 7:9, "After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, ofall nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;" We then see in Revelation 7:14 that it explains who all these people are. It says, "...These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."

So there you have it. That large number no man could count are all the believers of the last 6000 years that went through tribulation for their faith. But is there a way to lock this down and confirm it is in fact the believers of all ages? It says in Acts 14:22, "Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God."

In other words, and as every true believer can tell you, all of us have been persecuted in one way or another for our faith. And so this is in fact an identifiable fruit of the obedient people of God throughout all the ages.

Can you please explain Isaiah 65:15 that says, "And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:"

As far as I can see, this passage touches on a time that is very near the end of all things. As we see in the trailing verses, it speaks of the Lord creating a new heavens and a new earth. It also speaks of wiping away the tears when it says in verse 19 that "the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her." That being the case, is it not written in Revelation 21:4, "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."

This echoes that which we see in Isaiah 65:17-19 which says, "For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying."

It also says in Revelation 3:12, "Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name." And so the new name here in Isaiah is obviously speaking of that which will happen at the end of the 1000 years when the executive judgment, or hellfire as most understand it, is administered unto the wicked. They are now forever forgotten and their name is now associated with a curse. To confirm, going back to Isaiah 65:16, "That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes."

Think about this for a minute as well. Let's say you were Catholic, Baptist, Lutheran or even SDA and the 1000 years just ended and you as a citizen of New Jerusalem just saw all those Catholics, Baptists, Lutherans and SDA's burn to ash right before your eyes. Your old denominational name would then be clearly seen as a curse to you would it not? Praise God you have the new name Christ gave instead of the one mankind holds onto.

Now, as we know, the Word of God can often illustrate many truths in one passage. We see this often when studying prophecy. The verse says one thing for the reader who's heart is in need of correction and it says another thing regarding a prophesied event.

The reason I bring this up is because some believe Isaiah 65:15 can also be used to illustrate the evils of the SDA church and it's use of the trademarked name as a tool to persecute and even jail God's people. And, some believe it can be used to declare we, the Seventh Day Remnant people were given a new name by God after the SDA church trademarked theirs so as to legally attack and jail anyone using it.

The first scenario can be seen as plausible when we saw how directly after the SDA church started to use Vatican dogma, specifically their Trinity doctrine in 1980, that many SDA people split from the church to declare themselves truly SDA in smaller churches. So in 1981 the SDA church trademarked the name and immediately started suing their own brethren directly after the trademark became incontestable. Anyone using it now would be considered federal criminals and easily jailed for their crime and so yes, one can see how the name then became a curse unto the chosen people of God who were using it at that time.

The other toss of the coin then is the Seventh Day Remnant people. We can also see this passage as plausible for us in that we used to call ourselves SDA as well; but we had to also explain how we didn't teach the strange theology of the modern SDA church nor did we embrace the political insanity of the church as well when it came to Islam and homosexuals. That name became a curse unto us when people used to associate us with the SDA church who now delcares Allah is God, homosexual marriage is ok, and they also preach it's perfectly ok to join the church with the State in a 501c3 contract just to name a few. So we had to seek a new name and the Lord gave us the name Seventh Day Remnant. That name associates us perfectly with Revelation 12:17 when it says, "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

As we know the woman in this passage is the SDA church. But the devil is only mad at her for what she did during the 9th hour. It says the dragon is now making war with the remnant of her seed because we, the SDR people are actualy doing the work in the 11th hour that the SDA people stopped doing in the 9th hour. That is why the devil is only angry with her and making war with us.

How can we distinguish when the bible is talking about the law of The LORD (10 COMMANDMENTS) and the law of Moses? Could you make a video?

I actually did a three minute video on this back in April of 2015 titled "Moses' Law -vs- God's Law" and I do have a page on the site all about God's law with this info in there. But because it can be hard to surf this site, I will do a quick summary on this so I can post it to the Q&Aof Sabbath's past page. Basic fact is, the “Law of Moses” is not the “Law of God.” One law was to be kept until the cross of Christ so as to acknowledge the prophetic event they looked forward to that cross. They were written as a prophetic law. In fact, the entire Sanctuary service as well as to items in the Sanctuary right down to the colors have prophetic meanings. All the Laws of Moses were called ceremonial laws, or the law contained in ordinances. The other law, the ten commandments, is declared from Genesis to Revelation to be kept on earth till the end and then eternally in God’s kingdom. In fact, even the angels kept the ten commandments before mankind was created. It says in Psalms 103:20, "Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word." And for those that claim the ten commandments were only for the Jews, mankind also kept the Law in the garden of Eden 2500 years before a Jew was ever born.

In the video I shared a few verses that say one thing about the law contained in ordinances that were written in a book that would eventually turn to dust and then some passages about the ten commandments contained in stone which in fact denotes permanence. These are those verses in summary. I am not going to share each verse as it is written, but I will share the Bible locations of them for the sake of time.

MOSES' LAW "Contained in Ordinances"	GOD'S LAW "Contained in stone"
Called "Law of Moses" Luke 2:22	Called "The law of the Lord" Isaiah 5:24
Called "Law contained in ordinances" Ephesians 2:15	Called "The royal law" James 2:8
Written by Moses in a book. 2Chronicals 35:12	Written by God in stone. Exodus 31:18; 32:16
Placed beside the Ark. Deuteronomy 31:26	Placed inside the ark. Exodus 40:20
Ended at the cross. Ephesians 2:15	Will stand forever. Luke 16:17
Added because of sin. Galatians 3:19	Points out sin. Romans 7:7; 3:20
Contrary to us, against us. Colossians 2:14-16	Not grievous. 1John 5:3
Carnal. Hebrews 7:16	Spiritual. Romans 7:14
Made nothing perfect. Hebrews 7:19	Perfect. Psalm 19:7
Judges no one. Colossians 2:14-16	Judges all people. James 2:10-12

Now, even though I just shared those easy to research biblical facts, and I don't recall if I shared what I am about to say in the video, many still claim the Law of God was abolished at the cross so as to have the excuse to keep Sunday holy. They even go so far as to claim that as fact because they claim for some reason that the law is not mentioned in the Word of God after the cross of Christ. But the only reason they say that is because they don't read their Bibles and so they have no choice but to believe their pastor who actually lied to them. The truth of the matter is, all ten of the commandments are found mentioned as still binding on the obedient Christian after the cross of Christ. For example...

	Old Testament	New Testament
Commandment # 1	Exodus 20:3	Matthew 4:10
Commandment # 2	Exodus 20:4-6	1John 5:21 & Acts 17:29
Commandment # 3	Exodus 20:7	1Timothy 6:1
Commandment # 4	Exodus 20:8-11	Hebrews 4:4,8,9 (The word "rest" in verse #9 = "sabbatismo" = "A keeping Sabbath" in Strong's #4520
Commandment # 5	Exodus 20:12	Matthew 19:19
Commandment # 6	Exodus 20:13	Romans 13:9
Commandment # 7	Exodus 20:14	Matthew 19:18
Commandment # 8	Exodus 20:15	Romans 13:9
Commandment # 9	Exodus 20:16	Romans 13:9
Commandment # 10	Exodus 20:17	Romans 7:7

If you would like a much deeper study on all this, see my Law of God page on the website.

Look at the "law" in general for a moment. Take for example the "laws of nature." Can you break the laws of nature and not suffer their curse upon you? What I mean by that is, what of the law of gravity? Can you leap from a tall building and NOT crash to the ground? Or what of the law of force? Can you walk across a raging river without a life preserver on without being pulled under by the brute force and weight of the water and swept away to drown? The curse of those laws of nature can mean certain death if you break them. No matter how hard you try to explain away, or preach that that law is not for you, or it's curse does not apply to you simply because you feel you are "above the law" or "special" or "non-believing" of it. No matter how much you try to explain t away, the curse will apply to you. Jump from the building or step into a raging river and you will die. So... I ask, if you cannot side step the mere laws of nature, how I ask can you side step the laws of God? Break His Law, and you will suffer the curse of the law. Plain and simple.

In the Old Testament it says in Psalms 32:1, "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered." and in the New it says in 1 John 3:4, "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sinis the transgression of the law." And then it says in Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

As most Christians know, Jesus came to die the death we deserve so as to live for all eternity. Once we accept Jesus as our Saviour from the death we deserve, we are no longer "under the curse" because Christ helps us now to be "overcomers." See Galatians 3:10-14 for a BLUNT lesson in this truth.

If you don't believe in Christ then you will perish because the Law cannot be broken. If there is sin, then there must always be a death so as to put the sin in the dust where it belongs. That is why Christ came to die for you. However, if you are a follower of Jesus Christ and understand the Law defines sin, yet sin anyway, then you will be judged by that Law for any un-confessed sin you commit. Romans 2:12-13,16 says, "For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the lawshall be judged by the law; (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel."

As an obedient Christian we are blessed by keeping the law of liberty. We are actually at liberty to obey. Picture being pulled over by a cop for speeding. You were never "under" the law until you decided to break it by speeding. You broke the law, got caught, and now the "curse" of the law is your just desert, which in this case is the ticket from the ordained police officer. However, if you ask the cop for mercy, and he gives it... are you allowed to speed now? No, of course not! You are now under his grace. So being under His grace just as every obedient Christian alive is today, you will then obey the law of the Lord and be extra careful not to break the law. In the case of the cop who granted you his grace, you don't say thank you to him and then pull away spraying gravel on the cop because you don't want to insult his mercy or his grace because if you do so his wrath will be upon you just as the wrath of God is on all those that knowingly break His Law.

Remember what happened when the people of God ignored the mercy of God and His many warnings to them? It says in 2 Chronicles 36:14-16, "Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem. And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place: But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy."

It says in Luke 17:34 and there shall be TWO MEN in one bed... ?? Has the Bible always said this or are we being decieved ???

If you want to understand all the prophetic symbols in this passage you need to see what the Bible says about each one of them. I have all of them defined in a study I did some years ag. It's on my RevelationDefined page.

The reason we need to allow the Bible to define the symbols is because that is where they are found first and since this is how God chose to describe His truth and prophetic events, we must use His Word to define His Word. After all, if someone came to me speaking a language different from my own, would it not be wise for me to find out what his words meant so as to understand what he is saying? Plus, it says in 2 Peter 1:20, "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation." Just as I wouldn't give my own opinion for the words I heard from a man that speaks another language, I must also allow the Lord's Word to define His prophetic language as well.

This passage in Luke can be used by homosexuals in fact when they use their own opinion as to what they think it means when it says "two men in one bed" and so we can see how dangerous our own opinions can be. So, what does it really say in Luke 17? Again, if you want all the symbols defined individually, check out my RevelationDefined page when you get time. But to answer quickly for now, I will share the passage from Luke in today's language with all the symbols defined.

What's being is said is that when the Lord returns that night, two men will be in the grave, one will arise, the other will be left behind. There will be two churches doing the work, one will ascend to Heaven, the other will not. Two individual Christians will be doing the work but only one of them will be taken to Heaven. And those that do not ascend that night who die in the 7th plague, they will become food for the birds.

Hi, I have a question about women's hair and braiding. I know that 1 Timothy 2:9 (and a few other verses) mention braided hair. Does this mean all braids or ornate braiding only? As a Black female, braiding is not only popular/common, but it is also the easiest way to manage our hair. I never use weaves/wigs/etc. or braid designs into the hair. It's just my natural hair hanging in small braids (well twists to be honest--2 strands vs 3). Do you think God is against this type of hairstyle?

As far as I can see there is nothing wrong with braiding the hair as long as it isn’t done as some did when Paul wrote the letter to Timothy wherein it was all about standing out fashionably, and especially with gold threads intertwined along with costly clothing. Some styles took hours to create and were known to be expensive so as to let those looking on that the women wearing the style had the riches necessary to pay for the work done and some styles were designed to “one up” the other girls as well as attract young men to look upon them in the hopes of marriage.

The reason Paul mentions it was no doubt due to the fact that some women were doing so in the church which then made the worship services appear as fashion shows which distracted some from the message at hand. Churches still have issue with this to this day.

The real bad toss of the coin on this one is that some styles were also used back then to braid the hair that prostitutes wore to advertise certain acts they would perform for their customers. So the temptation to push the envelope was always going to be there and so modesty and well as a humble Christian attitude was what Paul was hoping to instill when he penned the passage to Timothy.

#265. I think you're wrong, The Great Tribulation is not in the past. I think it is coming soon.

I enjoyed your video and agree with most of it. however the bible is clear a great tribulation will happen just before his return. There will be more than 500,000 million die in this one, far more than the one you speak of. There are approx 6 billion people on earth now, very easy for over 500,000 to die. sorry, your version doesn't line up with scripture. God bless.?

Sorry dear one, there is not a single Bible verse to back up the great tribulation as Jesus defines it happening in the future. There is something coming, yes. But it's a different attack on the church. I share all the verses and the historic facts proving it already happened here.. http://www.remnantofgod.org/7yr-trib.htm

And yes, 500,000,000 died during that 1260 year period by the hands of the Roman Catholic church that ended in 1798ad. This is why The Pope lost all his political power in 1798ad when Napoleon did what he did and the Pope died the following year. This is also why it took centuries (until 1929) before that prophesied wound would ever start to heal. All nations refused to make friends with the Popes because of their graphically evil ways that caused so many millions of deaths. And so the Popes started to re-write Bibles and history books over the decades following to try and hide their past and after a couple hundred years those people that saw their evil ways first hand died off as is expected, but Satan made sure evil men still gained the office of Pope and then the people alive in the early 20th century stopped reading and trusting their Bibles and so they fell for the Popes lies again and now, as prophesied, he is back in power. In fact, as I share in a recent video, that wound is now healed. See this video here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V7jyius1c4

The great tribulation from 538AD to 1798AD saw 500,000,000 Christians killed. So I have to ask, how on earth would Jesus miss such an intense event in history wherein so many of His people die? Truth is, He didn't. That's why I wrote that "7 year trib fact or fiction page" I posted in the link above.

Now there IS a "time of Jacob's trouble" that is coming on the earth. But that doesn't start until AFTER the plagues begin. However, prophecy does say a "little time of trouble" will occur before those plagues get here and THAT HAS ALREADY BEGUN! The Popes created the Koran (See proof here http://www.remnantofgod.org/PopeKoran.htm ) And they have been using Islam (See proof here http://www.remnantofgod.org/chrislam.htm ) to kill Christians today. Over 165,000,000 Christians now die each year at the hands of the Muslims who are clueless that they are doing all this for the Pope and they not only salute the Pope of Rome in ignorance on camera, (See proof here http://www.remnantofgod.org/salute.htm ) they use the exact same torture and killing methods of the Popes during the Inquisitions as well as the bloodthirsty Roman Catholic Adolph Hitler used in his day.

The great tribulation is past. Rome hid that by burning and re-writing books because if the people alive today were allowed to know it was them that did all that, no one would trust them and they would have no political power whatsoever, and so the great delusion is allowed to fall upon those the Prophet Amos said would stop reading Bibles in our day and now, because evil is good and good evil in most eyes today, the Pope, who is in fact a bloodcurdling Jesuit, is loved by all as if he is a trusted friend in Christ.

I have been on your site for years and I notice you use the name Jesus a lot. I recently came across some new light regarding the sacred name of God and it is not Jesus. It is Yahweh or Yahshua. The name Jesus actually comes from the Pagan god Zeus.

I have a page on the website all about this. In fact, I touch on this on two pages. The links are as follows.

Both these pages can help, but when on the street and I come across this strange theology I share one Bible verse that usually puts to rest the idea that the name Jesus comes from Zeus.

For years I have been showing people how the name Jesus is translated as Joshua in the Strong's concordance. All one needs to do is find a verse with the name Jesus and you will know what I mean when you cross reference it.

JESUS:
2424 Iesous {ee-ay-sooce'}of Hebrew origin 03091; TDNT - 3:284,360; n pr m AV - Jesus 972, Jesus (Joshua) 2, Jesus (Justus) 1; 975

Jesus = "Jehovah is salvation"

1) Joshua was the famous captain of the Israelites, Moses' successor

2) Jesus, son of Eliezer, one of the ancestors of Christ

3) Jesus, the Son of God, the Saviour of mankind, God incarnate

4) Jesus Barabbas was the captive robber whom the Jews begged Pilate to release instead of Christ

5) Jesus, surnamed Justus, a Jewish Christian, an associate with Paul in the preaching of the gospel

There actually 942 verses with the name Jesus in them to choose from, but I have one verse that literally knocks the claim that Jesus came from Zeus out of the water. It's found in the book of Acts. I will read a few verses before and after to keep it al in context.

Acts 7:44-47, "Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen. Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David; Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. But Solomon built him an house."

If you read the entire chapter you know it's the sermon of sorts presented by Stephen to the angry Pharisees. Stephen goes into detail about how the Lord moved from generation to generation among His people and when he gets to verse 45 he specifically brings up Joshua who superseded for Moses after his death. But in the King James Bible the name Joshua in the New Testament is translated literally as Jesus. That confirms the truth about the origin of the name Jesus not coming from Zeus at all.

In all 942 verses we see the Greek translation of Jesus being that of Joshua and in the same Greek when the name Joshua is spoken regarding the Joshua of the Old Testament the name Jesus is used. In short, as I outlined on those pages I linked out earlier, the sacred name movement is designed to foster confusion as well as prevent the zealous ones from doing the work prophesied to be done this day. Instead of preaching present truth about making your paths straight for the preparing of the Lord, they are preaching everyone must stop using the manmade name Jesus who they claim came from Zeus.

One last thing is apparent as to how the confusion reigns in the hearts of those that preach this sacred name message. They declare that the name Jesus is man made. Yet their name Yahweh or Yeshua is also manmade. For example, the name Yahweh is actually spelled YHWH in the original Hebrew Text. The sacred name people added the vowels to make the name pronounceable. In short, they are accusing us of using a manmade name when in fact they are the ones doing that very act. We use the name found in Scripture. They use one altered by man.

Hey Pastor, I have a prophetic question for you. Do you think this could, or does apply to our time too, the mighty nation being the Muslims, men of war, who have come to dwell in America, due to their disobedience? The more I listen to this, the more I think of America. Israel - Protestants, Judah - SDA.

Jeremiah 5:15-17 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say. 16 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men. 17 And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.

Yes brother, just as Jeremiah tried to warn the apostate leaders in his day against Babylon being used by God to punish them, one can see Jeremiah’s message being proclaimed as pertaining to our day as well. As we know, Rome invented the way Islam walks today. And we also know that Rome is the prophesied whore of Babylon. So, just as the Jewish leaders in their day walked away from God, thereby forcing Him to use Babylon to punish them, He is doing the exact same thing today with the SDA church, all the Sunday keeping churches, and even the woefully backslidden Jews themselves are now part of the Babylonian hoards.

I happen to be in Jeremiah in my morning studies and with nearly every chapter I read and multiple times in each chapter I see that I can’t help thinking that the leaders in the nation and the church need to read and heed this book. But, just as they were blind to the truth in Jeremiah’s day when he did all he could to warn them, they will turn a blind eye today. Still.. we can and must share with them as Jeremiah did and many obeyed and took their spiritual medicine as commanded and surrendered to Nebuchadnezzar before he burned the city. In today's world of course, they need to come out of Babylon rather than go in. And as we have been witnessing over the last few years alone, many had indeed come out.

Please help me understand why Jesus is recorded as saying three different things before He died on the cross. For example: one of the times He's recorded as saying why have you forsaken me.

I am not asking for an all out explanation for each one ... just why three different things were recorded. Do I just have the timing wrong & He actually said all three things one after another? What am I misunderstanding?

And, yes, I did search your site for help with these two questions, but was unable to find anything about Luke 22:36 or the three statements.

The reason it is recorded differently is the same reason we see four Gospel message of the same events in Christ's pilgrimage to our world. It's the same truth during the same 3.5 years of events in Christ’s visit here, but not all four Gospels cover the same thing because four different men shared what was important to them personally.

This is also why we see Titus 3:10 telling us to walk away when we try to share the truth as we see it two times with someone that refuses to hear what we have to say. The Lord will send more witnesses who will share the same truths with different viewpoints and eventually (hopefully) that soul will hear something that finally hits him or her in the heart like a ton of golden bricks from the streets of New Jerusalem.

In other words, it’s not that Jesus didn’t say “why has thou forsaken me” in one Gospel yet says it in another is because the one being moved by the Holy Spirit to pen what he witnessed shared what he personally saw and what he heard.

What was important to John was recorded by John, what was important to Luke was recorded by Luke and so on and so forth. All of it is truth, it's all the same story and the same truth resides in all four accounts. It's only that none of us have the exact same viewpoint as our neighbor and so Matthew, Mark, Luke and John shared the same truth, yes. But they explained it all in different ways that to them moved them deeply. And again, as we saw in the letter to Titus, there's a reason it was done this way.

By the way, ever notice this? As we know Satan likes to mimic the Lord and His way of doing things. Just as the four Gospels share truth that is designed to spread far and wide, his lies can spread in the same way. In fact, as a young man I always wondered if this is why the word gossip was invented? Is it a mockery of the word Gospel? I never looked into it and so I don't know. But it does seem obvious to me.

When someone is enticed by the lies spreading about their neighbors, coworkers, classmates and even loved ones, they will busy themselves spreading those lies via what we call gossip today. If you notice, like the Gospel message of the apostles who shared what they deemed more important to them personally, the stories of the busybodies, tattlers, talebearers and false witnesses as they are called in 1 Timothy 5:13, Leviticus 19:16 and Provebs 6:19 just to name a few, spread in the same way only as lies instead of truth. As these sinful souls go house to house or phone to phone, the stories they share about their friends and neighbors are embellished by what what each gossipper deems more destructive to the person they are slandering. So, just as different truths are seen in different levels of importance by the Apostles that penned the Gospel message, the lies of those moved by Satan do the same thing with lies. It's all the same message, only proclaimed via different viewpoints.

As I was reading my Bible the other day I came across a passage that seems to say we are saved by works. Perhaps I'm missing something? Can you clarify this for me It's found in 1 Peter 4:8

When you read from verse #1 down to this passage you will see it is speaking of how we are to treat others that aren't as kind to us as we walk in this world with Christ. In verses 3 & 4 of the same chapter it actually outlinines some of the past sinful fruits of those that have converted to Christ, who after conversion were treated badly.

And so again, verse 8 is saying that we must show charity even if someone has personally sinned against us. Charity = love in translation. With that said, verse #9 in this chapter confirms that if we show love to others, no sins against us will matter or even dictate how we should treat them.

In today's language, verse 8 would be saying... "..have fervent love for each other, for love like this will cover a multitude of wrongs committed against us."

One way to illustrate this in action is to look at a child that lashes out against a parent, or directly disobeys. No matter how much hate is displayed by the child, the parent's love for their child covers those sins up and still loves the child no matter what. As expected in a book that is written by God, one can see this truth carried throughout so as to confirm the hand of God is within its pages. This truth can be seen in Proverbs 10:12 where it says, "Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins." or Proverbs 17:9 which says, " He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends."

So to answer your question. No, 1 Peter 4:8 is not preaching we are saved by works. It is merely illustrating how a heart touched by God will treat their fellow man.

Doesn't Colossians 2:14 clearly say the law of God was nailed to the cross and therefore we no longer have to keep the ten commandments?

So, from what I am seeing here, you are being taught by your pastor that the ten commandments are the "ordnainces" spoken of here, and therefore after the cross of Christ all the sins as they are illustrated in the law of God are somehow no longer to be called sin. So.. I would ask the one in doubt on this; was it a sin to steal before the cross? They will of course say yes. I then ask was it a sin to steal after the cross? They again say yes. Was it a sin to lie, kill, take God's name in vain or commit adultery before the cross? They will say yes to all questions. So then after asking them all that I then ask was it considered a sin to lie, kill, take God's name in vain or commit adultery after the cross? Amazingly enough, they will again say yes. Then according to the one questioning Colossians 2:14 already has their answer.

But to drive it home a bit further. I then ask them another question. Since we now know it can't be the ten commandments being abolished at the cross since you just admitted the sins listed in the law were still considered sins after the cross; what is the ordinance that could now be seen abolished at the cross? If they don't know of one, I then ask them why the Jews offered meat and drink offerings or killed a little lamb each year? If they know the basic truths of the Bible they will say they killed the lamb as an offering for their sin. Therefore, since they now see this truth a little clearer even though they may not get the full understanding as of yet, I then ask them, would it be considered a sin to refuse to offer a lamb as an offering for sin before the cross of our Saviour Jesus Christ? Again, if they know the basics of their Bible as you will find most do in this area, they will say yes, it would be sin for the ancient Jew who refused to offer a lamb as an offering for sins he knew he had committed. So then I have to ask another question. Would it be a sin to refuse to offer the sacrificial lamb after the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross to take away our sins? In other words, since it is a sin for the ancient believer to refuse to offer the little lamb as an offering for their sins back then, is it a sin today to refuse to offer a little lamb as an offering for our sins? They will then say no, it would not be a sin to refuse to kill a lamb as an offering for our sins today. So one final question needs to be asked .. since it's a sin to lie, kill, and steal before and after the cross, but it was only a sin to refuse to kill a lamb as an offering for sin before the cross, which laws were then abolished? Was it the ordinances that God gave Moses wherein a little spotless lamb was brought forth as an offering for sin, an ordinance that John the Baptist even prophesied was about to end when He said in John 1:29, "...Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." And as you just admitted we no longer offer the lamb as an offering for sin. Or was it the law of God, the ten commandments, that you also admitted were considered sinful tpo break before and after the cross of our Lord?

I have a firend who declares the "Spirit" and "redemption of the body" found in Romans 8:23 confirms we go to Heaven at death.

The “redemption of the body” is the key phrase in this passage and the “Spirit” has to do with the Holy Spirit not the “ghostly” spirit mankind invents to place us in heaven as spirits strumming harps on clouds.

When we groan in the body because of the weakness of the flesh, the Holy Spirit blesses us with a deep desire to stop the sins so as to not only gain repentance but redemption as well. You may want to also mention to your friend that using one verse to declare a doctrine will not work with the God of the Bible who not only pens the doctrines, He structures them in a way that confirms them as doctrines. For it is written in Isaiah 28:9-10, "Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:"

In other words, when we have literally dozens of Bible verses to prove the state of the dead is not as the world claims, we know your friend is being lured into confusion when he is tempted to use one verse to make it appear to say something the Lord never said. The line upon line, precept upon precept and here a little there a little confirms the numerous other passages prove his theology false. In fact, just reading a few verses above and below the verse in Romans 8 confirm he and his teacher are in error.

Romans 8:20-26, "For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but theSpirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered."

Why do you believe and teach the 7 last plagues fall in just one year and not many years as so many others believe? Is it because of Revelation 18:8?

The Word of God defines the word day as a year when used in the prophetic sense. In fact, we have a few verses that confirm this.

As we know it says in Revelation 18:8 that the seven plagues come in one day, and we know this is also called the time of Jacob's trouble. And as is a surprise to some, we see here that Jeremiah the prophet actually agrees on all this. Notice what he says about the plagues that fall in one prophetic day.

And yes, this speaks of the last days further confirming this is speaking of the 7 last plagues. Notice what Jeremiah says in verses 23 and 24 of the same chapter.

Some within your church declare that if we refuse to keep the law we will lose our salvation. Is this not preaching works will save us?

As for the law being a salvation issue. Again.. I would need to see the comment made by the brother to better address this issue as I do not want to comment on something that may be taken out of context. But since you have not supplied the exact statement made by the brother, I will address this question as if you're asking me, do we lose our salvation if we break God's law?

There are many ways to answer this question, one which I like to use often is already addressed on my "Ifyou break one you break ten" page wherein I illustrate that if you break one commandment you have broken them all. The reason I use this often is because the norm among Sunday keepers today is to have issue with commandment #4 regarding keeping the Sabbath holy. So, if you want to get info on that I suggest you visit that page, I also share the page in a video so as to make it easier for some that prefer videos.

But there is another method of answering that for some is even more effective in that some Sunday keepers truly want to please and honor the Lord Jesus.

Jesus said we are known by our fruits did He not? But what fruits is He speaking of? Basic reality is, he is speaking of keeping His Law. How do we know this?

If we keep the law as Jesus Himself and all His apostles kept it before and after the cross, it proves we are Christians and therefore saved because, and now here's the clincher, He promised to write His ten commandments in our hearts and on our minds.

That all being said, if a person claims to be a Christian yet does not keep the Sabbath holy, then the law was not placed in their hearts, and if the law is not already in their hearts, then it is evident the Holy Spirit is not there either, for it is written in Acts 5:32 that "we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him." And what does obey mean?

Notice also what Jesus said to a rich man one day. It's found in Matthew 19:16-17, "And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."

Jesus then lists some of the commandments so as to make it plain He was speaking of the Ten He gave Moses on the mountain. So, since Jesus told the man to keep the commandments that day, are we now to assume that after the cross He would have sought that man out to declare he no longer had to keep the commandments? Jesus never kept anything hidden. If the law was to be abolished as some teach at the cross, then why didn't He say so to this young man that day?

Notice this as well. After the cross of Christ we not only have many passages wherein the apostles still declare we must keep the Law, we also have one passage that clearly illustrates how foolish it would be to even discuss the idea that the Law was somehow no longer needed to be kept. It says in Titus 3:9-10, "But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;"

Bottom line is, if your pastor is saying you no longer have to keep the Law, and you have Old and New Testament passages declaring you must keep it, then I think we need to follow Peter's advice of 2000 years ago when he said in Acts 5:29, "...We ought to obey God rather than men."

And so, to answer the question in a nutshell. That being, is refusing to keep the law a salvation issue, I must say yes it is. But, the other toss on that coin is that no man can keep the Law unless they are truly Christians because unless you receive the Holy Spirit to help you keep His Law, it will be impossible to do so.

Notice what Elisha did in His day long ago. And notice the symbolism in all this.

When Elisha cast that salt into the undrinkable water he was doing as the Lord told Him to. Later, thousands of years later in fact, Jesus uses the same healing method when it comes to salt and the corruption of sinfulness in the land. Just as the salt that was cast into the waters purified it and brought new life to the spring, obedient Christians can also be used of God to bring healing to their sinful souls as well as to their nation.

As Christians, we are to be a good example as well as bearers of Good News to a dying world. And by the way, before refrigeration was invented, for a little over 5900 years mankind used salt to perserve the flesh people would eat. The rotten or dead water in Elisha's day is symbolic of the polluted and dying souls that have separated themselves from the Lord. In fact, remember what Jesus said in John 7:37-38, "In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, outof his belly shall flow rivers of living water."

So everyone you come up to that needs their rotten water purified, we as the salt of the earth can share some of God's goodness with them and therefore they too can come to know the Lord and then have streams of flowing water flow from them. As obedient Christians, we are to be a preserving and healing influence to the lost of the world.

And by the way, Jesus mentions a 'flowing water' for a reason. Have you ever smelled stgnat water that was allowed to sit without any movement for months on end? I have more than a few times over the years. Water can and does die if it just sits there. There are living organisms in water that unless it keeps flowing or even just moving by agitation they will die and rot and the odor that comes off smells like a mix of carrion and feces. This I believe is why when someone is demon possessed they will often have that smell eminate from their bodies unto those with discernment that can help them.

You know what really amazes me about all this? Just as salt preserves flesh from rotting, the obedient Christians have been preventing God's wrath from falling on the masses. Remember when Abraham asked the Lord if there were 50, 45, 40, 30, 20 or even 10 righteous people in Sodom, would He spare the city? God said yes. And later, God even told the angels to get Lot and his family out of Sodom before He destroyed it.

Now think about this. God's wrath will not fall on this planet until everyone that can be saved is saved. And as soon as all the obedient Christians are either martyred or numbered in the Gideon band, God will send the plagues and then destroy all the earth in the final and most violent plague. That's right.. the fact Christians are still alive is what's preventing the wicked from being destroyed. They owe every day of life to the Christians who are the salt of the earth. And what's ironic here is that the wicked are doing all they can to kill off those Christians, which then seals their eternal fate at the same time.

Brother please tell me why you are supporting the clerk who thinks it is ok to commit adultery 4 times and not see her own sin. We are to spread the word of God. We are not the judge ONLY GOD IS.. God gave us ALL free choice. No where in the Bible does it say you are to force your beliefs on another human. God wants us to come to him out of the LOVE in our hearts, and do his will out of that LOVE. She needs to stop lying about being a Christian. She proved that with her first, second, third and fourth marriage. She is still living in SIN. The people who want to marry another man or woman will have to answer to God, not some sinful clerk who is no better than those she is refusing to serve. We can only tell people the truth and we have to let them choose.

First of all, to remind those that may have forgotten, this email is about that clerk in Kentucky named Kim Davis who refused to sign the marriage licenses of homosexuals back in September of 2015. Yes, that happened a while ago, but I answer them as I get them.

You need to stop watching and then trusting the pro-homosexual media. Yes, she was married 4 times, but what the mainstream media doesn’t say is she found Jesus during her fourth marriage. Her courageous fruits to stand firm in Jesus confirms this. Being as such, she not only became a believer she was forgiven for her previous sins. If you’re truly one that studies the Bible with an obedient heart you would know that. For you to say “she is still living in SIN” is a lie because you cannot judge her heart. Only God does that. You need to repent of judging your sister in Christ who is doing the best she can. After all, if she was still an adulterer as you claim, would she put her life in danger like this? If she was still living in sin as you claim, would she allow them to throw her into jail for standing firm in Jesus? Why is it you cannot stand firm in agreement with her?

This reminds me of the Vatican prelates who claimed the ones they were burning at the stake were not true Christians. But I have to ask, would anyone put their lives on the line for a fake faith? Anyone with a fake faith is not going to have power from the Lord at all. The first sign of persecution will make them run for the hills in abject fear. Look at the apostles and the early Christians as well. If they all just invented this religion to gain notoriety and a few dollars in their pockets would they allow themselves to be persecuted and even killed one by one? Sure, you may see one or two misguided zealots that would have no problem dying for a fake religion. But hundreds of millions? Not a chance. Only God can touch a heart like that.

One more thing. 2000 years ago there was another woman who was an adulterer. In fact, she was caught in the very act and then cast before the feet of Jesus to be stoned. Why is it those that wanted to stone her knew all about the sins Jesus was writing in the sand that not only proved they were all sinners, it made them all drop their stones and walk away. How is it so many people refuse to see that today and start tossing stones the first chance they get? Or what of the fact that Jesus said to her in John 8:11 which was, "..go, and sin no more." How can she go and sin no more after you stone her? If I follow the lead of Jesus Christ I see a soul saved. If I follow your lead I see a soul persecuted, shamed and even killed.

Now yes, we can judge, and prophecy says we will judge angels. But are you also aware that Jesus said in Matthew 7:2, "For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."

Hi, I've recently become a believer in the Bible and I know what has been written is true. I have a few questions I hope you may be able to help me with. I've been doing some reading on your site and I was wondering how the Sabbath could possibly fall on Saturday. When the book of Genesis and Exodus was created, the day Saturday hadn't been created, nor were the people who created the word even around. Also the word Saturday comes from the Latin word Dies Saturni which means Saturn, the god Of Saturn or Saturni the god of sowing seeds. Also there have been so many additions/subtractions/leap years done to the calendar that all the days we refer to today are wrong.. So I guess my questions are How is it possible for the Sabbath to fall on Saturday? Also since the times of Genesis and Exodus they didn't have names for days so how would they calculate which days were which unless they had used something like the moon? I'm very confused by all of this and I seem to be going in circles around it so if you could possibly explain it that would be fantastic.

The moon has nothing to do with the weekly cycle. The week was created in creation week and only one day was given a name back then. That day was Sabbath, and it was the seventh day. All the rest of the days were numbered with the exception of Friday which was also called preparation day. Later, mankind changed calendars from 30 days each month to a mix from 28 to 31. Due to their inability to deal with how God created things, their calendar caused many issues over time and so they added leap years.

For example, in the Gregorian calendar, which was added by Rome as the prophet Daniel predicted, each leap year had 366 days instead of the usual 365 to make up for the way the planet travels in orbit around the Sun. So whenever we have a leap year you will notice that instead of 28 days for February we will have 29 days in a leap year. Calculating a leap year is done by using a solar formula to assign the leap year. They have to do this because the planet doesn't really orbit the Sun every 365 days. It happens every 365.25 days and so every 4 years they have to add one day to February. But, it doesn't end there. They also have to calculate the the century year in the process. Search online about that as I don't want to get into all that detail on this.

Suffice it to say, the easiest way to remember when a leap year is coming, and yes you can see Rome's hand in this mess as well; is every time they have the Olympic games or a presidential election, that year will be a leap year.

By the way, how would you like to live thosuands of years ago when the Jewish nation had their leap year? They didn't just add 1 day at the end of the second month like modern man does. They added a 13th month every 19 years. That would reek havoc in today's digital society I'm sure. I can't imagine what it would be like at tax time either.

There are other cultures around the world that also have strange ways of calculating leap years. And yes, they all deal with the worship of the Sun, moon and stars which leads me to your mentioning the Pagan names for the days of the week.

The Pagan names were changed over the centuries as you know. SATURNday became Saturday, FRIEGday become Friday, MOONday became Monday and so on. However, even though all these changes occurred, NEVER was mankind ever allowed to change the weekly cycle. They can change the length of the month and even the year all they like. But the Creator who created everything in six days prevented all of them from changing the weekly cycle so as to keep His Sabbath very visible to all those in need of learning His will.

So, they can call the days any name they want, but the fact remains there is still only seven days each week. In fact, I go into detail on the following page in how God wouldn’t even let modern day Rome change the weekly cycle back in October of 1582 so as to give Easter an afixed date each year. Doing so would have hidden the truth from the less educated eyes why the date of Easter changes each year. It changes because Easter itself has nothing to do with the death and resurrection of Christ and everything to do with the worship of the Sun, moon and stars. They can easily hide their Pagan ritual with Christmas because it's based on the Solar cyle of the planet around the Sun and therefore on an afixed date each year since our calendars are based on that solar cycle. But Easter is based on the cycle of the moon. And so ask any Pagan or Roman Catholic why Easter's date changes and they will both say it's because after the first full moon of Spring, the following SUNday is Easter. See this page… http://www.remnantofgod.org/romeadmits.htm

God created the week and He created and sanctified the seventh day to honor Him as Creator. Nothing mankind can do can ever change that reality and the way He has protected that weekly cycle for 6000 years confirms He won't let them mess with it. He is God and man cannot change anything He sets in stone. However, the beast in Rome will try and as one can see, most in the Christian world believe the Vatican changed the Sabbath to Sunday and they believe it was ok to do so. But, that too was prophesied as was the fact that a small “remnant” church near the end of time will still hold firm and glorify God on His original Sabbath with commemorates creation week as well as Him as Creator. Soon, Rome will enforce laws to try and force that remnant to keep Sunday holy. But they will refuse. For an in depth look at this prophesied event, see this… http://www.remnantofgod.org/mark.htm

I also see by your question, which I have seen often the last few years that you may be leaning towards keeping a Sabbath based on the lunar cycle because most tempted to do so usually start off in this manner by questioning the names assigned to the days of the week. Satan is very crafty and he will use whatever method he can to entice error to be embraced as truth.

To summarize what I already exposed online years ago, one thing these Lunar preachers do seem to agree on is they believe the weekly seventh day Sabbath is always observed on the same days of the month each and every month. 99% of them agree these dates to be the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th. I say 99%, because I actually found one site that claims the dates should now be the 7th, 14th, 21, and 28th. As prophesied, the confusion of Babylon runs amuck even here.

To further entice the masses into believing their folderol, one such Lunar preacher actually goes so far as to offer a $10,000 reward to anyone who can pinpoint a weekly Sabbath on any other day than by the phases of the moon. And one that used to be a friend of this ministry before falling for the prophesied Roman SDA theology was offering $1 million dollars to anyone that can prove him wrong on this. From what I discovered, it has been exposed as error by many preachers and one group even asked permission from me to use my study on this to try and win the money. I sent them the study and my permission to use it to try and enlighten the confused souls, but I also told them not to expect a dime for either of these false preachers. I've dealt with these people before and honesty is not a major fruit in their basket of life.

So as expected, none in that group of preachers received the money even after showing mycompilation of Bible facts proving the lunar Sabbath is a lie. In fact, when the word got out about this false doctrine and the facts I compiled, they immediately removed their cash prizes because of the unrefutable truths presented and numerous emails telling them about their error. That fact alone has caused many to rethink all this. That's one thing I like about the truth. It never hits the ground to remain in the dust of error. In fact it says in Isaiah 55:11, "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."

Most Lunar preachers also agree that these Lunar weekly Sabbaths always land on the previously mentioned dates without exception each and every month without fail, even during a leap year. One site actually goes so far as to create a "non-day" in their calendar that helps them to manipulate their findings so as to better fit their doctrine since the inexact orbit of the moon changes twice a year. And one Lunar Sabbath website goes so far as to say that the weekly Sabbath is determined only upon the phases of the moon and not by the counting of days one through seven. And finally, another website states every week always begins after the new moon worship day, therefore allowing for the creation of "non-days" to fix the broken weekly cycle.

In short, their theology suggests that with each month the Sabbath will then fall on a different day of the week thanks to the afore mentioned dates. In other words, their false doctrine is not about the seventh day Sabbath as much as it is about the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th day Sabbath. That way Satan can have his cake and eat it too. All he wants is for people to break the eternal Sabbath of the Creator God. Since most already do so weekly via the Sunday keeping Christians and Friday keeping Muslims; he knows Jews and Sabbath keeping Christians need to be targeted as well. And for some that don't obey God and are easily confused, the lunar Sabbath is their grand delusion that keeps them in his trophy case. May God have mercy on their souls.

#277. Why were men (in OT times) permitted to have multiple wives, but not in these NT times?

As far as I can see, there is no clear cut answer in the Word as to why this was allowed or even ignored by the Lord at times and so all I can do is share what I see in all this by sharing a few experiences from the Word itself.

As I look into the Scripture and see the end result of such things I find that it’s not so much that He permitted it any more than He allowed Martin Luther to keep Sunday holy thousands of years later even though He used him in a mighty way while at the same time knowing he was breaking His law. As we know, many strong Christians in past generations are heaven bound even though they were all Sunday keepers, and like Luther many were used of God to help others get a closer walk with Christ. But the bottom line reality is, Luther was a Sunday keeper, yet the Lord allowed that for a time just as He allowed Solomon to have all those wives for a time because he is our heavenly Father and not our heavenly tyrant. Problem for mankind in all this is, even though David and Solomon both knew about the Lord’s will on such things, they still did it anyway. See Deuteronomy 17:16-20 for confirmation on that. Especially Deuteronomy 17:17 which says, "Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away:..."Because as is obvious in both cases and especially Solomon's such things can draw the heart away from the Lord.

As is obvious, the unwholesome practice of polygamy was borrowed from the customs of the heathen nations around them for political reasons at first. They did so to make friendly relations to gain international benefits in commerce, which is another reason it was never a good idea to seek a king in the first place. The Lord had already set up judges that would follow the Lord's command and not bow to political idiocies like this, but man insisted on having their own king and so the rest is history. The fact they started to do as the heathen's did showed it directly influenced their judgment towards a bad end just as the Lord warned in Deuteronomy 17:17. They allowed the flesh to dictate their actions so as to marry into heathen lands to gain riches and power. In so doing their lives were filled with many tough trials. Both David and Solomon had many problems with having many wives.

As Bible students we know the Lord “winks” at our times of ignorance and as we see throughout the Bible He often allows us to learn the hard way in many different ways. Take Solomon as another perfect example in this. He eventually discovered later in life that having numerous wives was unwise in that they eventually lured him away from proper worship as well as condoning Pagan worship. He of course eventually repented; but the damage was done in regards to how his sinful past influenced his children and eventually the entire nation. In fact he knew that even though he was looked upon as wise, his actions greatly influenced many people he loved in a very bad way. That's why he said this in Ecclesiastes 10:1 that "Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour."

Over the centuries we see all sorts of lessons learned in having multiples wives. Abraham’s problems with his wives have even spread to our day in that Hagar brought forth Ishmael who later became the father to the very hateful and bloodthirsty Muslims of today. And as God prophesied in Genesis 16:12 by saying "hewill be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren." And so it is to this day. In fact, their nations border the nations of the Jews further confirming the accuracy and in depth details of the Lord's prophetic Word.

Still, we do see in Exodus how the Lord did in fact allow for multiple wives but He did so under what I like to refer to as a "winking regulation.” We must also understand that back then the relations between husband and wife, and especially behind closed doors wasn't worshipped or even indulged in as it is today and I am sure the previous lessons they learned back then regarding the flood of Noah made delving into such perversions a bit taboo for the Jewish nation who for the most part wanted to obey the Lord whenever they were walking right. Which as we see in the Word wasn't a regular ooccurrence either.

The Lord told Moses to tell the people in Exodus 21:10-11, "If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish. And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money." In other words, if the man cannot afford to take on another wife, he was prohibited from doing so. Forcing her into a marriage relation when the man didn't have the means to provide would be considered against God's will and dangerous to the soul. There were other regulations as well but I am sure you get my point so far.

Now take Adam and Eve for a good example in how this can get out of hand. The marital act behind closed doors was all about procreation back then and not about lust. That came later as sin started to become the norm for most. Which as we know was eventually dealt with at the flood. What I mean is, mankind proved to be very weak in this area and the fleshly acts of men and even the women degraded to such an extent, (that being homosexuality of course) that the flood of Noah came upon the world. And so allowing for multiple wives was no longer allowed as per 1 Timothy 3:2 which clearly says, "A bishop then must be blameless, thehusband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;" And since the Bishop or pastor as we call them today is supposed to be the example to the flock, having more than one wife would be against the written Word of God and so polygamy, no matter how they paint it today, is nothing more than blatant sinfulness.

As we are told, Godly women such as Sarah called their husbands lord. How come this is not considered blasphemy? Moreover, when righteous men of God spoke with rulers they referred to them as king. I know king is a title even the Lord gives to those He has ordained to hold such a position, but I am lacking in understanding as to how it is not blasphemy when King is one of the Lord's names ("And now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible ...")

One such verse that illustrates this point clearly is Genesis 18:12 which says, "Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, mylord being old also?"Sarah is obviously referring to her husband who is very old like her. And if you notice the following verse also uses the term "Lord," but this time in reference to our God in heaven when it says in Genesis 18:13, "And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?"

The term “lord” in the first verse is clearly seen in context in the same way as calling the husband the head of the house, master, sir or simply owner of the land. In fact this is where the term “landlord” comes from to this to this day. And as Christians who seek the Lord to own us 100% we can clearly see how calling our God Lord is also well defined in how He is Lord of our lives as well as Master, Head of the church and even our Husbandman, just to name a few.

Have you told people online that they will be forced to accept the mark of the beast by a health card?

The Obamacare or Trumpcare as I am sure will be the newest version of socialized medicine in the USA, can and will be used to force people into receiving the mark. Yes. But so will credit cards, ID cards, Bank Accounts, or something as simple as the Social Security number that without agreeing to the mark, all benefits to having it will be suspended.

All of these cards and numbers are government regulated along with countless other so called benefits of modern day society and so when the ability to buy and sell is removed, all those avenues can and will be used to garner control over the weaker Christians worldwide. And so yes, I do believe the health cards, real ID cards and even credit cards will be used to “try” and force people to get the mark because if they refuse to agree with the Roman mandate of Sunday Laws the government can and will turn off their health insurance, driver’s license, credit cards and bank accounts with the flick of a switch.

But no, Obamacare or even the social security number is not the mark. But they will be used later to lure people into getting the mark. Right now, Obamacare, social security, credit cards and a host of other things the government does are not sinful for citizens to use at all. They are however getting the people used to using such things so that when the mark is finally enforced the people that are weak in trusting the Lord to supply the manna as He promised will have a hard time giving up all those conveniences that allow them to do business, pay their bills or even purchase food.

OK, for those gathered here today and for these reading this on the Q&A of Sabbath's past page, yes, this is an email from a poor soul that hates the truth we are called to walk in. So, all I can say to such a soul as this is have you not seen my website? I have over 12,000 pages of data on a deluge of subjects. Why so many people think I am only focused on Sabbath is very strange to say the least. Truth is, me thinks the ones hating us are more focused on the Sabbath than we are. In fact, they are often the first to bring it up.

However.. Since this person brought up the subject, let me ask him this… If mankind was warned thousands of years ago that right before Jesus returned to take His bride Home that commandment #2 was going to be used by Satan against all Christians to get them to accept a theology that will indoctrinate them to declare the Creator God 100% worthless and man made statues of men, women and even animals were now worthy of worship, would the Lord Jesus not send prophets, patriarchs and millions of obedient Christians to warn you about the dangers of breaking commandment #2? Sure He would.

Now here’s the clincher… that’s exactly what happened in Daniel's day was it not. In fact I can go into detail regarding how society was tempted by Satan to break many of the commandments in many different generations. But according to the prophetic Word of God, it was commandment #4 that Satan chose to use against all Christians in the last days to get them to think it’s 100% ok to disobey God and 100% ok to obey the Pope who invented a Sunday Sabbath not found anywhere in the Bible. And think about this as well. Not only was this prophesied in more than one area of the Bible; were you aware that commandment #4 is the ONLY commandment with a prophetic statement in it. How so?

That’s right, the very same Creator God that carved His Law into stone long ago specifically told every one of His obedient children to REMEMBER the Sabbath day because He knew Satan was going to get them to forget it. AND.. the prophet Daniel was also used by the Lord many centuries later to repeat this warning when he was told to remind the people that were going to be taught to forget God's law in the last days and that it was Satan who did in fact change “times and laws” so as to get the end time Christians thinking it was ok to forget God’s law. How so? Check this out…

When speaking of the Roman Catholic Popes in the future and how they would puff themselves up worthy of being obeyed over and above God when it came to the Roman Sunday Sabbath, Daniel went a little further in describing their agenda when he said this in Daniel 7:25, "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and thinkto change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."

So.. you asked me if I know Jesus? Who do you think told me to warn you about breaking HIS law?

P.S... I have yet to receive a response from that young man so please pray for him.

Thank you for answering all my previous questions. Can you say if at the time of the Sunday law passing would the SDA people have time to receive the early rain (Holy Spirit) before the final latter rain is poured out? For it is said in Last Day Events that the early rain must be received before the Latter is given. Also can you say if the 144000 will be living in private solitary retreats at the death decree or FEMA Camps. Thank you and God Bless!

First and foremost it is impossible to tell when or even who will receive the latter rain as that is something only the Lord can answer as He is the one that reads the hearts of His people, we cannot read hearts. As for the early rain, that is actually the Holy Spirit the obedient bride should already have in her heart before the latter rain falls and yes you must have the early rain before you can receive the latter rain. And yes again, I do believe people in fema camps, prisons, caves and even in forests will be blessed with it as well. The Lord needs to have His obedient flock everywhere so as to declare the midnight cry in deafening tones worldwide. But, I do not believe ANY SDA that are still in the church will receive the latter rain. Why not? I actually made a video regarding that basic reality in biblical jurisprudence. You can see it by going to YouTube and looking for the video titled; "Q&AWho are the 144,000?"

To summarize quickly, even though the video is only three and a half minutes long, as this is not a hard truth to explain, the gist of it is, the 144,000 that are blessed to stand during the plagues of Revelation without seeing death are those Christians that are not found in the apostate churches. They are not defiled and therefore obedient to the Lord.

As we know all the Protestant churches are apostate, we know the Catholic church is the Whore of Babylon, we also know all the non-Christian religions are not worthy to be in that number and we also know 100% of every SDA you meet admits their church is in apostasy, which means no one in any of those churches will receive the latter rain because as Revelation 14 plainly says, only those that are not defiled by those churches are in that number.

It says this in Revelation 14:3-5, "And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but thehundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were notdefiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which followthe Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God."

The 144,000 or Gideon Band as I like to call them, follow Jesus wherever He goes and so let me ask you this? Would Jesus be found condoning the strange worship in a church that declares Allah is God, homosexual marriage is ok, or it's perfectly ok to join the church with the second beast of Revelation as a church & State entity just to name a few? Of course not. Jesus would not be in those churches and therefore neither would those "which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth."

As we know, the basic definition of Babylon is apostasy. In other words, you don't even have to be Roman Catholic to be considered in the main Babylonian church anymore than an accomplice to murder needs to pull the trigger. Just being present at the scene of the crime makes you guilty. What I mean is, if your church agrees in any way with the apostate dogma of Rome then you are in Babylon just as much as the Catholic is, and so Revelation 18:3-4 also applies to your church when it says, "For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

In other words, you too must come out of her before it's too late. And so, if you or anyone you love is in any of those churches, and this includes the SDA church when the latter rain falls, then the blunt and hard truth filled answer to your question is no, you will not receive the latter rain because the Lord that sends it is nowehere to be found in your life because you are nowhere to be found in His true church. And His church has nothing to do with brick and mortar or even denominationalism for that matter. His truth and therefore His church or bride as He calls us, will be all about obedience no matter what the theologians and great leaders of the day proclaim. Because just as the Pharisees of old claimed regarding staying in the church, the apostate leaders of today also claim you must stay in the apostate church to be saved. And that simply is not true. But like back then, the majority of the people will follow their leaders because as was also prophesied, the majority today do not study their Bibles and so they have no clue what it says about all this. Their faith is solely based on anything and everything their pastor says. Therefore, like the Jews of old that trusted the Pharisees, they will not gain Heaven.

Bottom line is this. Salvation is not a group theology. We are saved as individuals. Just because a large group says salvation means to stay in a certain church doesn't make it true. Why base your faith on what everyone else says when you have a Bible that you can read all on your own? Why trust the masses and follow the herd just because everyone else is doing it? Look how well that worked out for all the religious people in Noah's day that never stepped into the ark. In short.. the bigger the group.. the bigger the danger. For it was written plainly declared by our Lord, Saviour and eternal King Jesus Christ when He said in Matthew 7:13-14, "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

I've looked through your Q&A's & I haven't seen anything about the "desert island" question. You know, "if someone was born on a desert island & never heard of Christ, how would he be judged?"

I read an answer you gave which said something about the fact that the only reason people have not heard about Christ is due to the parents & I agree. What about the desert island question? Or, what about civilizations such as the Aztecs who religiously slaughtered people to their sun god? Since they had never heard of Jesus before the Spaniards, does God wink at their ignorance?

I actually get asked quite often about such things. Thank you for your time, brother. God bless.

Now before answering I need to let everyone know that there was a second email question on this one because I answered this email question with a single Bible verse, which was Matthew 24:14, "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached inall the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."

I do that often because I never know when the one I am emailing will see what I see right off. If they do, great I can move on, if not the next email generated by them will allow me to know just where their question is and it will therefore allow me the opportunity to further explain why I shared that particular verse.

I think I may be having a misunderstanding. Matt 24:14 applies to these end times, does it not? As I have understood this verse to mean that all people will have a chance to know Jesus before the end. Does this verse apply to all people at all time periods? Like the Aztecs I had mentioned previously, or Native Americans, etc. I'm getting lost somewhere and I don't know where my understanding is getting lost.

If someone comes up to you and asks, "so what about all those billions of people who have never learned about Jesus? What about all those people throughout time who have never had the chance to hear about the Bible? How will they be judged since they died without ever hearing the name of Jesus Christ?" What would the Biblical answer be?

I pray you don't think I am arguing. I am only looking for clarity on this topic because it seems to be the one I get asked about more than any other. Are these people considered innocents? Something seems silly about that question, but it is still asked.

Not that I want to lend any credence to what some people call “predestination,” but notice this… 1 Samuel 15:2-3, "Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass."

There are many other areas in the Word wherein men, women and children were killed under direction from the Lord. The reason I shared what Saul was commanded is because of a basic fact of life. Quite often people would openly deny God no matter how much evidence was presented to them. And being hard hearted as they were, they would naturally teach their children to deny God as well and so there was no hope for them in life regardless if they lived or died. In fact, letting them die young in some cases was merciful as many Christians can attest to to this day that a life without Christ is loaded with all sorts of intense trials and can be very miserable. I for one remember how difficult and troublesome my life was before Christ.

In short, the Lord knew the children He slated for death would never come to the truth and so He allowed them to die. Not only was that merciful towards them, it would also prevent issues for the obedient people of God who would be directly affected by the wickedness of their evil associations had they lived.

Since the Lord knows the end from the beginning, He also knows who will or will not end up on a desert island. So, if someone is on a desert island that has never met Christ, either the Lord will send someone to share Christ with them before they die on that island, or the Lord knows due to their upbringing and Atheistic heart that they would never believe no matter how articulate the preacher may be. And so I repeat Matthew 24:14, "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached inall the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."

We need to understand that there are many people in the world that have been brought up in Christian or non Christian homes and as we know some are saved and some are not. But those that never would believe, and this means even if 10 plagues fall upon them as we saw happening to Pharaoh in his day that were to show the power of God, Pharaoh still denied God and because of his atheistic heart watched his first born son die. He simply refused to believe no matter how obvious God's hand was displayed.

And so, people like that won’t need to hear it as they would never believe it if they heard it anyway. God not only knows the end from the beginning, He knows the hearts of every soul and He knows how each soul is raised and where their heart is from day one to their final day. So in short, all those in the world that will believe WILL hear the Gospel message because the Lord knows who they are and where they are.

Can you please explain what Jesus meant when He said the Sabbath was made for man in Mark chapter 2?

When was Sabbath made? Day seven.. right? When was man made? Day six. Therefore, man was already there and THEN God made the Sabbath FOR man the very next day so he (man) could keep it and as we must assumed, Adam did in fact keep the Sabbath holy the very first time it was sanctified for him on day seven.

In other words, Sabbath was made for the man who was already there. But Satan twists that and says man was made for the Sabbath. But that would be impossible. Still, Satan was able to twist the truth here as we all know by looking at all the Sunday keeping churches. This has to be one of the most amazing prophecies every fulfilled that exposes Satan and his lies when you look at how it was prophesied that all the churches would eventually keep Sunday instead of the true Sabbath in the end of days.

By the time to Jews arrived, which was about 2000 years after the Sabbath was already made, Satan twists the truth and basic historic facts by claiming they were the first to keep Sabbath so as to make mankind think that it was man that was made for the Sabbath that as he claimed was already here instead of the Sabbath being made for man after he was actually created.

Let me see if I can clear it up even more. For the people to believe the Sabbath was made in Eden, and then it sat around ignored for nearly 2000 years and then only embraced as a Sabbath until the Jews first kept it makes man actually think the Sabbath was made first and then man was made for the Sabbath later on when the Jews arrived and since most believe the lie, Satan had the control he needed to further move them to his agenda. This is why it is so important to trust the Word of God, which by the way has not a single Bible verse that says Sunday is the Sabbath or that the Sabbath was made first and then thousands of years later offered to the Jews as their Sabbath.

In other words, if you are one that is comfortable in trusting what any man says without doing as the Berean's of old did who the apostle Luke stated in Acts 17:11 by saying "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." But most people today do not read Bibles. They only listen to what their pastor says. And if they ask the pastor which day is Sabbath and he says it's Sunday, they do not search the Scriptures to see if what he says is true. Unlike the Bereans, they believe the lies because as Satan knew by how he had been controlling them for their entire lives, his lies were more believable to them than God's written Word.

Some even go so far as to claim the law of God was never in force before the Jews or even before man was made so as to embrace the lie that makes the law appear less permanent and no big deal to break. But if that’s true, why then was Satan cast out of Heaven? If there was no law yet then he didn’t sin yet. Or why was Adam and Eve cast out of the garden if no law existed yet? But since they never read their Bibles, questions like that would never come to mind and they will eventually die in their sins.

YouTube Question/Comment:I am interested in your thoughts about the prophecies that are coming into play today. If many of these prophecies are actually propagated by the powers that be do you still consider it prophecy? This is frustrating... they know what they do, they know they are playing this out at our expense. Unfortunately those that don't understand what a false flag is or weather control or stock market manipulation are living in fear because they don't know the truth. This will not end well for the majority and it seems to be escalating at an amazingly rapid pace... On a similar note: March 11, 2017 is the 300 year anniversary of the Masons and there are several who have videos showing predictive programming similar to 9/11 for Seattle on 3/11... check it out...

ANSWER: There is a major difference between Rome's agenda and what Christian prophecy outlines for the last days. This is why the demon calling itself "Mary" in 1917 made certain so called "prophetic" statements but always did so with the disclaimer that said "if you pray the Lord may change His mind" tagged on them because Rome really has no clue what the Lord will allow and disallow. They know quite a bit of the prophecies because they investigate the sermons and utterances of real Christians as often as they can and in so doing do all they can to hide their agenda by manipulating the media and historic record. They do this by paying off and even killing off certain media outlets and then rewrite historic record and burn as many books as possible.

For example; take the name Israel as a prime example of their craftiness and how refusing to read Bibles makes so many people unable to defend their spiritual lives against such attacks. Most people and every pastor I ever met actually think "Israel" is still the chosen nation when in fact the name "Israel" is the name of the OBEDIENT Christians. (I did a webpage and video on this actually. See them both at www.remnantofGod.org/Israel.htm)

Truth is, Rome knows if everyone knew who the real Israel was it would be much harder for the Pope and his prelates to manipulate political movements or even get enough people in the pews to believe in secret raptures, 7 year tribs or eternal life in hellfire just to name a few.

Or take the fact that prophecy does say the Vatican will start killing Christians again near the end of the world as Jesus describes in prophecy. Rome knows that and so they push the false prophecies and even get some authors to write books claiming that Islam is THE Antichrist. (See it exposed here http://www.remnantofgod.org/islamicac.htm ) The Vatican purposely puffed up Islam to empower them politically just like they did Hitler in his day so as to have a puppet to the killings for them. I have quite a few videos, articles, and studies exposing all that on my Pope and Islam page on the site.

As for the Mason's plans. That too is a man made agenda that some will claim as a prophetic utterance. In short, it's just another Vatican contrived agenda they HOPE will be allowed fulfillment. Basic historic reality is that after they killed off John Paul I who wanted the Mason's out of Rome once he was elected Pope, and then replaced him with John Paul II so as to keep the Mason's intact in Vatican City, most obedient students of prophecy had all the ammo they needed to further confirm the connection between the two from that day forward. Just as the Jesuits, Opes Dei or even the Knights of Columbus were once secret Vatican societies designed to infiltrate and destroy Christian churches from within, once outed they play the part as reputable Christian organizations to keep their fruits well hidden. And so the Masons are merely one of those that were outed.

And just so you know, when John Paul II finally died, they helped students of prophecy even more by burying him in a way most Mason's would approve of with all the symbolism intact on his robes and casket. (See the facts and MANY pics on this here http://www.remnantofgod.org/skullandbones.htm )

Still.. there are many prophetic events actually happening, and some are occuring almost daily now; seeing how most in power have not the eyes to see, their actions are fodder for our truth packed cannons in this holy war. That is why I created the blog I have on my main page at www.RemnantofGod.org so as to do all I can to expose them daily.

And you're dead on when you say most can't tell a false flag has hit from an actual legit event. But that too was prophesied when you look into the prophecy regarding the lusts of the flesh that distract the masses from seeing what's happening right before their eyes. The blind are literally leading each other into the pits of hell as we speak. Things like Sports, drugs, TV, alcohol, sex, video games and Hollywood theaters keep the people sufficiently indoctrinated away from seeing the truth as it is presented by the people the Lord sends out daily with the present truth. The sheeple are easily corralled. Praise God you have not succumbed to that. Keep the faith my friend and one day we will meet on the crystal sea.

Hi there thanks for the reply and the video you sent. I think I may have watched it already if its about the dead are asleep till Christ returns. But what do you make of revelation 6.9?

The souls mentioned in this passage that was penned in 95AD by John the Apostle on the Isle of Patmos are actually those saints during the breaking of the 5th seal which occurred with the 5th church "Sardis" from 1517 to 1755AD when the Vatican was killing Christians. So again we see people asking questions during a vision when they have yet to be born. Reason being is, our God created everything, including time. That means our limitations with "past, present and future" are not an issue with Him. And this is clearly seen in how He prophesies.

The "host" just means a huge mass of persons and as for the Sanctuary.. that's the largest most amazing prophecy found in the Bible. I try my best to summarize it on my Sanctuary page here... http://www.remnantofgod.org/sanctuary.htm

Truth is, if we use the line upon line method the prophet Isaiah said is necessary when defining doctrine, and this includes the doctrine of the state of the dead, we would have to rip out hundreds of verses that prove no one is alive after death except a chosen few. And those few are Enoch, Elijah, Moses and the 24 elders that arose when Jesus did. And by the way, Enoch and Elijah never even saw death, yet the Word does declare they are in Heaven as we speak. Still, if those under the altar were actual souls in Heaven it then begs the question as to why would those obedient to God be trapped for all of eternity under an altar crying about their loss of life during the persecutions? Wouldn't they be rewarded for their obedience instead? Of course they would.

In sort, this is not a picture of life after death at all. What they're going through in the vision does not sound like the bliss of Heaven at all, therefore it is a look into the future only and not the actual event in the physical world. Like the parable of Lazarus and the rich man, it is 100% symbolic. And to further confirm this as fact, it says this in the very next verse in Revelation 6:11, "And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that theyshould rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled."

When the Vatican killed those Christians they will "rest yet a little season" as the prophecy says. And that rest is in the grave awaiting the perfect number of souls that will be martyred. Or as the end of the verse says, they must rest "until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled."

#286 You are wrong about the end time fulfillments regarding the sun,moon, stars and quake

While millions of Adventist and some non-seventh day Adventist believe the stars have fallen already in 1833 with the great meteor showers of that night. This is not what the bible says, and the dark day in May of 1780 in new England where the sun did not shine nor the moon give her light, and as for the moon turning to blood all through earth history there has been this event of blood moons. Are these the signs of the end, maybe, however we are in the end times as I write, this I agree with the video, Jesus called the time we are in "the time of sorrows [read Matthew 24]. stars falling from heaven, are the deceived Angels that fell with Satan they were cast into the bottomless pit, the deep, or earth which ever you prefer. The sun and the moon and constellations not giving their light is a great volcanic eruption, a violent eruption that will split the earth, cause the earth to wobble, and turn the earth upside down read Isaiah, plainly the earth's poles will shift. The smoke of this violent calamity will hide the heavens. the Catholic church and her created Islamic cult have not ended their slaughter of christian until Christ returns. Satan has a way of deceiving many twisting and deleting and removing verse from scripture to deceive the masses. as the deleting and adding to the K.J.B. and producing a new version. while the author of the video is correct on many other prophecies these above are not yet fulfilled.?

You can believe what you like dear one, but I must say when speaking for the Lord you have to understand there are some who have done their homework, giving your own opinion on prophetic symbols without Bible verses to back it up will never hit its mark in any obedient heart found in the remnant church of Jesus Christ. Sadly, and I must warn you in Christian love that it will only offer the scoffer yet another unbiblical reason to deny Christian prophecy as being faulty without ever actually opening a Bible to confirm their assumption. This is why the Apostle Peter warned us in 2 Peter 1:20 that, "..no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation."

Not only were the early "obedient" Adventists correct back then about the dated prophecies match to already confirmed historic record; the recent studies done by millions of obedient Christians found many more prophecies over the years that also matched historic record regarding the global quake, stars falling, darkened Sun and blood red moon to lock down the original understanding as well as verify the original findings were accurate. And if you would like an in depth look at those prophecies you can dowload my free book People Get Ready. Check out the prophecies discussed in chapters 3,4,5 & 6. I not only share the Scripture I share documented historic records to back it all up.

In fact, both the prophets Daniel and Joel spoke of these prophetic events in unison and they line up perfectly even more so when using the dated prophesies of Daniel wherein as I said in the video highlighted how directly after Rome stopped killing Christians those prophetic events would happen EXACTLY as Jesus predicted in Matthew 24. after all, He's the one that gave the prophetic utterance unto Daniel and Joel in the first place..

Now do you see why Jesus also said in Matthew 24:15, "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)" Jesus knew using Daniel's prophecies in the last days alongside the prophecies of Revelation that were penned by John decades after Jesus ascended would be very valuable when doing the studies today so as to better lock down the fulfillment of these events. They line up perfectly in unison right down to the 1260 years when the Vatican ran rampant across the land. In fact, the Vatican's Inquisitional rampage actually helped to lock down the prophecies, it also helped to expose the man of sin in Rome just as another prophecy predicted (in 2 Thessalonians 2:3) for our day.

If you want a list of all Bible verses that define every prophetic symbol in the book of Revelation see my 3 year study here... http://www.remnantofgod.org/books/docs/REV/Revelation.htm. And by the way, I wouldn't advise printing it out as it is well over 300 pages and it will drain any printer's toner. But there is an app on that page that a brother in the faith created to make it easier to scan the symbols. Please contact me if you have any further questions.

The bible says that God cannot be tempted with evil and neither does He tempt man, I understand that perfectly but can you explain what Jesus meant by lead us not into temptation and what Paul meant that God will not allow us to be tempted above what we can handle.

I look at the “lead us not into temptation” in the same way I look at the Lord saying “He” hardened Pharaoh’s heart. What I mean is; the love He shared with Moses was the same He shared with Pharaoh. That love softened Moses’ heart but hardened Pharaoh’s heart. In other words, God didn’t purposely set out to make Pharaoh angry, but He does know the end from the beginning and He knew the love He presented to Pharaoh would have a bad response and so our Lord declared simply truth in saying “He” hardened his heart. Because the basic reality is, Pharaoh hated love and truth so much that when it appeared before him he got very upset and felt threatened by it just as we see with many people today.

So how does that apply to Matthew 6:13? The Lord offers His love to every man, woman and child on earth. But not all will take it. Most in fact will deny it and like Pharaoh walk away from it and they do so because they hate Him and His Word so much. A good example of this would be the homosexuals, Muslims and Atheists that get very upset (like Pharaoh) when the truth is placed before them and so, they actually run towards temptation out of spite. And again, because it was His love that generated their wicked response in the first place, He again takes the blame because He is all about the truth and the basic reality is, His love was hated by them so much that they ran towards Satan. And so they lead themselves to temptation but God again takes the blame as He did with Pharaoh.

We must also understand that God’s ways are not our ways and His love is beyond comprehension. We can only understand truth as far as He reveals it as we all look through glasses darkly. And again, since He knows the end from the beginning, He may not “prevent” a certain trial, obstacle or even persecution in life so as to help us grow stronger in our Christian walk. He doesn’t “lead” us into temptation, we do that on our own. But when rebellion comes, we will be “allowed” to learn the hard way, and seeing how our Father knows how it will not end bad for us, it becomes a blessing unto us to go through the trial we ourselves walked into. And as we grow stronger every time we resist the enemy of souls our walk testifies to the world at large that Jesus Christ really did send the Holy Spirit to help us overcome this wretched flesh we walk in.

As for 1 Corinthians 10:13. The key statement there is "suffer you to be tempted above that you are able." In other words, no matter how the temptation comes, our prayers can gain the Father's hand to prevent the temptation from taking us down and the fact He also "makes a way of escape" for us shows even Satan must obey the Lord when it comes to His Son's bride. But the basic reality is found in James 1:13, "Letno man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:" That passage alone declares it is not God bring the tempation, but He is the one that blesses us with a way of escape and since we trust Him wholeheartedly, He is then able to "lead us not into temptation" because unless you have Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, Satan is always there 24/7 to lead you into temptation.

In a nutshell… It’s because Satan is the “author of confusion” and all those denominations were spawned from his masterpiece in Rome. He does this for the sake of the babes in Christ who cannot understand which church is the true church. And so they pick one that is not and Satan continues to lead them astray. But there is a very easy way to find out which church is the true church.

Look in history and you will only find FOUR actual movements by real God fearing believers that were moved by the Lord to start new churches.

#1, The Lord Himself called those that wanted to follow Him and His perfect truth out of the apostate Synagogues and that is when the Christian church began. Those people started their church with the hopes of pleasing God and not their own flesh.

#2, After a few centuries the prophesied man of sin did his duty for Satan and corrupted the church and so the people of God that wanted to please God alone and not their flesh were moved out of the apostate Roman Catholic church when the great reformation occurred.

#3 Later, and as prophesied, they too failed to continue on in the path of truth and even more churches started to spin off with worldly doctrines and so the Lord moves some men all over the world to present the three angels message that in the USA eventually started the SDA church wherein those people put down all the apostate doctrines of their previous denominations to walk with the Lord.

#4, Now that we are very near the end, as the end times began 19 years prior to the start of the SDA church, the man of sin in Rome was moved quickly by Satan to infiltrate the SDA church with a fervor and they fell into apostasy quick rapidly and so many obedient Christians came out of that fallen church with the desire to do as the Lord commanded in His Word and so the Seventh Day Remnant church began.

My point in all this is on how the key is clearly illustrated as to where the true church is. All 4 churches were started by people that came OUT of apostate churches with a desire to follow God in obedience. Today, the only one that is organized under the banner of truth is in fact the Seventh Day Remnant church. But the 40,000+ other denominations were all formed after men and women refused to follow the Lord's original structure for the church and so they began new denominations wherein they would claim to be Christians yet reading the Bible the way they chose and walking the way that best pandered to the flesh. In fact, it was prophesied they would do just that in Isaiah 4:1 which says, "And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach."

For the sake of the new brethren among us, if you were to take Isaiah 4:1 and repeat it with all the prophesied symbols defined it would say something like this. In the last day, all the churches will claim Jesus Lord but they will read the Bible the way they see fit, and they will walk the way they prefer but they will claim to be Christians to take away their shame. That is all of Christendom outside the remnant number today.

#289. Is there a difference between the 2 Laws Jesus gave and the Ten Commandments?

I know the Ten Commandments say to remember the Sabbath, to keep it Holy. I also know the accurate day of the Sabbath, but I believe in Jesus Christ so much when he said 'It is finished'. These 2 Commandments (love the Lord God, and love your brethren) bank on of the other commandments. But I will watch your videos brother?

ANSWER:

When Jesus said "it is finished" He meant the ceremonial law that Moses penned and placed in a letter bag on the side of the ark. But the Law of God, or Ten Commandments as we know it was etched in stone by God's very own finger and placed inside the ark of the covenant for eternal safe keeping. As for Jesus saying "love the Lord God and lover your neighbor" you're 100% correct in believing that is our duty. But what you do not realize is that you just admitted by that very statement that we are to keep the Law of God etched in stone. How so?

Read the first FOUR commandments. When you keep them you will automatically "Love the Lord thy God with all your heart, mind and soul" because those four commandments have to do with how we show our love to the Lord.

In other words, do you show your love of the Lord when you place other gods before Him, make graven images to bow before in worship, take His name in vain or break the Sabbath that He not only sanctified but commanded we keep it to declare unto all that we do believe He is the Creator? Would it not declare hatred towards Him if we had other gods, bowed to idols, took his name in vain and refused to keep His Sabbath holy?

Now read the last SIX commandments. When we keep them we "Love they neighbor as thyself" because those last six commandments are how we show our love for each other.

In other words, if you dishonor your parents, does that not declare you don't love them? If you kill your fellow man does that not boldly declare you hate him? Is it showing love to your spouse if you commit adultery? No, it does not. And if you steal, lie about your neighbor or seek to covet anything he owns, that too shows no love for your fellow man.

To confirm what I just said is 100% biblically accurate, Jesus clearly said in Matthew 22:37-40, "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

That's right! After saying to love the Lord and your neighbor Jesus said "On these two commandments hang all the law.."

Bottom line is this dear one... 1 John 2:4 says, "He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." And notice that this passage was penned after the cross of Christ when your teacher claimed "it is finished." If Jesus meant the law was finished at the cross as your teacher or pastor assumes, then why was 1 John 2:4 penned? Is the apostle John now a liar? And notice this bold reality proclaimed in Revelation 22:14 that says, "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."

In other words, if you're not a Christian that keeps God's Law, then you will not be allowed to enter into that city. And that city is New Jerusalem. Or "Heaven" as most call it today.

Now let me ask you this.. if you were known by all governing officials of a city as one who will break all the laws of their city here on earth, do you think the leader of that city would allow you to walk freely within his gates? No, if you break the laws of men on earth you are either jailed or killed. Well, the Creator God has a city as well; and He also has a Law in that city. That law is in fact the Ten Commandments. If you openly decided to break God's Law all your life, when it is time for your life to end here, which is a prerequisite to being considered as a citizen of New Jerusalem, why would He allow you to enter His city when all the while you lived on the world He created you proclaimed far and wide and even deep within your heart that you do not have to keep His Law?

What is the significance of David playing the harp for Saul after David was anointed by Samuel? Why did David's playing of music release Saul from the evil spirit? Was it even the music that did that or was it the presence of God's newly anointed which did this? (1 Sam 16:14-23)

There is no direct answer in Scripture as to why David’s harp playing soothed Saul and so all I can give is my opinion on this. That being the case, I would have to think it had something to do with the devil himself.

What I mean is, Satan was the one that sang unto God before he fell and so when he fell his musical talent was still intact but only now it was greatly corrupted due to his rebellious heart. David on the other hand was a man after God’s own heart and I am sure when he was learning the harp the songs he played were of the Word of God and so he grew even closer to the Lord and that much is obvious seeing how he was anointed as king quite early in life.

The fact David wrote most of the songs in Psalms attests to the fact that his music was no doubt a way for him to calm himself when under temptation as a youth because being in close meditation with the Lord on a regular basis does in fact have a great calming effect on the heart troubled by the dying god of this world. I know this for a fact as I often go into deep prayer and Bible study to seek peace from the trials I experience in life. I can’t wait to get to Heaven to get my harp so I too can perfect my prayer time in that way.

Getting back to Satan and his music, notice what the prophet Ezekiel says about him in Ezekiel 28:13-15, "Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee."

Satan actually has a musical instrument built inside him. The "tabret" is defined as such.

Seeing how Satan is the angel of music, I can only assume that he and his minions would be greatly annoyed by someone singing music that not only glorifies the Lord, but causes demonic influence to flee at the very sound of it. And so, I would think that when David played that music the demons would leave Saul just as they do when a Christian declares GET THEE HENCE SATAN!

In fact, I would have to think this is why Saul was moved by the demon quickly one day to throw his spear at David when he started playing the harp again. Could it be the smaller demons reported back to the stronger ones or even Satan himself days prior to alert them of David’s music that was annoying them so that the next rime David was about to play a much stronger demon stepped up that day to try and kill David so as to stop Saul’s peace? I don’t know, as I said at the start, there is no clear cut Scripture to declare it as such. But it is very clear the demon in Saul hated that music enough to try and kill David because each time David played the demons left Saul and they simply didn’t like that any more than they liked leaving any soul Jesus cast them free of thousands of years later.

I am positive once we get home and stop looking through glasses darkly we will know why David’s music upset those demons to flee. So in short.. you’re correct, it was the presence of the Lord’s newly anointed child of God (David) that moved those demons away.

In fact, both my wife and I as well as some church members have seen that happen firsthand over the years,. To summarize, when a child of God walks into the area wherein a person is demon possessed, those possessed either become very agitated and upset and some will even run off in abject terror. Some will even lash out screaming profanities. I’ve witnessed both in my life.

I've read many theories about why this happened, but they are all theories since God never explicitly told us the reason. Personally, I think that this is a matter of the heart. God already knew both the son's of Adam's hearts & knew the path which Cain was on. Moreover, I believe that since Cain's offering was from the ground, it was symbolic of man trying, by works, to please the Lord. While Abel's offering in Gen 4:4 was sacrificial in the way that he offered up a blood sacrifice and the choicest parts of the firstlings of his flock.

Adding to that, I think that Abel's sacrifice was, in a way, a foreshadowing of the Cross. Moreover, in Heb 11:4 it is said that it was because of Abel's faith that his offering was more excellent in the sight of God which, as far as I can see it, goes backs to my original statement that his offering was more pleasing because it's a matter of the heart.

Yes, you are correct; Abel’s offering was a future reference to the Lamb of God’s sacrifice wherein mankind has nothing to do with whatsoever and it was solely based on his faith and from the heart. After all, Abel had no hand in creating that little lamb that day.

Caine’s offering on the other hand was all about his toil in the soil to bring about his bounty. It was all about “his good works” that he was offering to God wherein Abel offered what God already presented in Eden. And being the son of Adam and Eve I am sure they told him all about the Lamb of God that was to come in the future to die for the sins of all mankind. The Bible doesn't say, but I do believe the clothing the Lord made for them the day they sinned in Eden was the skin of a lamb.

Basic reality is, even if Abel never shepherded the little lamb from birth to that day, there was no toil on his part to present the lamb as something he did with his own “good works.” That lamb could have grown in the wild with no help from Abel at all.

In short, it's as you said; Abel’s offering was representative of the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world. I do believe Abel knew about the atoning blood of the Lamb who was to come as Messiah in the future to atone for his sins, as I am sure Adam told him all about it as well as what sin really meant. Yes, Caine was told too as he was his son as well, but he obviously rebelled against the love and the truth like so many have done to this day.

Ok so --- I read the Scriptures…and didn’t see that the AGE OF ACCOUNTABILTY WORDING in any of it…other than it being INFERRED OR ASSUMED…that by age 20 they’d be PHYSICALLY READY….but I missing something ? what about spiritually ready? The age of Spiritual Accountability - meaning “right with God” or “saved” from the wrath of God, if you will….

You had said at one point that God made the age 20 (per those verses you shared) because by this time these men would be able to “accept God” and therefore be SAFE/SAVED in battle. I guess the Question they may ask is HOW can you KNOW THE AGE God SAYS? (and I don’t see it in any Scripture not in the ones you sent either) many scholars say by the age of 13 (bar/bat) a child should know better and therefore if you have heard the Gospel and reject it (Him), you’d be separated from God forever -- bc you had not accepted Jesus by faith. – meaning for today not back then because Christ had not come yet. Ugh am I making sense?

As I see it, and I base my findings on what I have found by feasting on the precepts, line upon line, here a little and there a little over the years; we have to remember that back then the believers were actually ready by the age of 13 and recognized by Jewish tradition as having the same rights as a full grown man once the ceremony was performed. In fact the bar mitzvah literally translates as "son of commandment." But common sense dictates, unless the boy had the faith of David, he was not likely to sign up for battle or even be able to fit in the armor of a soldier.

Seeing how a 13 year old boy was not going to be a good candidate for battle, and seeing how the age “20” was laid out in the Word regarding certain duties, it appears obvious that for them to be experienced in the spiritual adulthood I can only conclude that they needed more years of walking in the truth of the Torah that they already declared as truth at their bar mitzvah 7 years prior. A “hands on” experience was needed for them to grow further and therefore applied here I guess you can say.

Seeing how the Lord is the one that laid out the age of “20” multiple times in the Word for reasons one can only assume an adult can perform with confidence, I must base my definition using only that which I can find in His Word on any given topic. I am a firm believer in not adding to or taking away from His Word. After all, is it not written in Isaiah 28:9-10, "Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:"

That being said, I don’t think you will find a locked down verse that says “the age of accountability is 20” in the Word, any more than you can find a verse in the Bible that says the exact date of Christ’s return, even though we know He is coming back on one particular day. But when you see the men eventually had the ok from on High to actually die in battle at that age as well as all the other passages that declared the age of 20 to be a deciding factor in other essential duties in and for the Sanctuary, one can only understand that yes, age 20 is the actual physical and spiritual pinnacle every Jewish male back then hoped to reach so as to do as God would call him to do. It was obviously a different world back then.

BUT, and I only add this to prevent confusion if you dig into how some boys were educated, this does not include the Rabbinical students who could be rejected or accepted by their Mentor who, as the tradition goes, their Rabbi’s “dust was upon them” as they followed close behind day by day in their spiritual education. These chosen boys who were soon to be men hoped to become Rabbis and so it was up to the teacher as to if and when he was ready. They could be rejected before, during or after the age of 20 for any reason the Rabbi offered. And so I look at the Bar Mitsvah and the start of the education of the young men that will reach its pinnacle at age 20.

I must say, I pray you and I get literally covered in the dust of Christ’s sandals as we walk near Him day by day so as to reach the perfection in Christ only His bride can gain. :)

In regards to Revelation 13:10; the papacy caused many to end up in the captivity of sin as well as in actual jails and dungeons. But their main sin was luring billions into the bondage of sin by declaring they can be saved in sin rather than from their sin.

As we know, the Vatican persecuted and killed hundreds of millions of innocent Christians who refused to bow to their dogma and so what she has done to others will most assuredly happen to her. Perhaps this is where the phrase "what goes around comes around" was coined by some who saw what happened when the Pope, in the year 1798 was removed from political power and literally placed in captivity to die in exile by November of 1799.

As for 1 Thessalonians 5:20,21, look around today and you will see many people despising or openly ignoring the prophetic facts that declare Jesus is coming soon. And so, as Paul intimated, it is best not to ignore the prophecies of the Word of God and we should hold fast only to that which can be verified as truth by using the Word of God.

For example.. most ignore the prophetic facts about the mark of the beast being Sunday Laws, and this is even after we show them valid quotes from the Vatican wherein they admit in writing that Sunday is their mark. They choose rather to hold fast to the false prophecies about chip implants, bar codes and tattoos of 666 because that is what their false pastors preach and their comfort zone is upset when we, who embrace true doctrines have a message that seems very foreign to them because we don't keep Sunday holy, join them in Pagan holidays, or even eat some of the food they eat and so they despise what we proclaim from the Word of God because our basic Christian stance annoys them.

Or, as is usually the case, many will despise the prophecy of the Word because it means they will have to be on earth when all the rough times during Antichrist go down. Their pastors teach them we are lying and instead teach the false prophecies that claim Christians won’t have to deal with the enforcement of the mark because they will be raptured out of here. Strange thing, we can even show them that type of mindset was prophesied as well.

Besides the fact there is not a single Bible verse to back up a secret rapture, and there is no 7 year tribulation verses either, they will still despise what the Word of God says for the lies their pastors say because it's less frightening to them. And as I intimated a moment ago about that mindset being prophesied, Isaiah 30:10 says these lost souls will “..say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:"

The true prophecies are too troublesome for them to embrace because it means they must not only accept Christ as Lord before the plagues come, they must stop doing all the sinful things His Word declares sinful. But the Vatican lie or “smooth” deception about a 7 year tribulation means they can escape all that horror and still be saved in their sins because their trusted blind leaders says so and so they trust the lie over the truth and fall into the same ditch their pastors tumble into when Jesus returns. The false prophecies they watch for never come to fruition and eventually the real ones do and they will be completely caught off guard. They will be those poor souls who actually claimed Jesus Christ is Lord who shout on that great and dreadful day; "The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved." - Jeremiah 8:20.

One last thing... Many are unaware of this but, to prophecy doesn't always mean to predict the fture. And this is epecially true in King Saul's day when he prophesied with the prophets. What I mean is, the entire Bible was not yet penned and so whenever a prophet or man of God was to declare new light that didn't contradict the light of the Scripture already penned, it was considered a prophetic utterance on the doctrinal end of things because they were actually speaking what the Lord gave them utterance to speak.

Now look around. Yes, we have many false prophets out there today like Pat Roberston, Benny Hinn, Hal Lindsey and the sort that made dated predictions for certain events that never came true. But there are also millions of false prophets who delcare God said this or He said that when in fact He never said any of what they claim.

A perfect example would be all the pastors, priests and preachers who claim God changed the Sabbath to Sunday. Nary of one of them can supply a single Bible verse to back up what they say. In fact, many have admitted that they can't in writing. That means they are claiming God told them something that is yet to be penned in the Bible. Problem is, Isaiah 8:20 says, "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."

New light cannot contradict old light. Muslims and Catholics do believe new doctrines can negate old doctrines, but we are not Muslims or Catholics and we know it says in Malachi 3:6, "For I am the LORD, I change not;" And it says in Hebrews 13:8 that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."

And so whenever someone claims a new doctrine you know goes against the Word of God, then you know you have met one of the many false prophets. Some of their favored doctrines today are, lunar Sabbath, Jesus isn't God, the Holy Spirit is not a person, we must keep feast days, eternal life in hellfire, secret rapture and a seven year tribulation just to name a few.

Are things like car loans & mortgages okay for us? Doesn't the usury spoken of in the Bible refer to these loans? The reason I ask is because I don't know whether God wants us to keep the car we have or not, but the "usury" part keeps coming into my head & if contractual agreements like in mortgages & auto loans are unBiblical then I need the understanding. I think you answered this somewhere in your Q&A, but I don't know where. Thank you & God bless.

Mortgages and loans are of no issue as long as we don’t borrow more than we can effectively pay in return. But there is sin involved in the usury but not on our part. The bankers, who for some strange reason are mostly Jewish, (Andthere is proof online) they are the ones in sin here, because it is declared in their very own Bibles that what they do is evil. For it is written in Exodus 22:25, "If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury."

They openly disobey God by charging interest on all those loans they offer us. And as is obvious, and especially with the Rothschild’s; Satan has granted them all the riches of the world so as to keep them in open sin because the lust for riches is in fact one major demonic enticement. This is why Jesus said what He said in Matthew 19:24 which was,"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

Now some may look at this statement in Exodus being applied only to those within your own family or tribe that you loan money to. But, whether or not they remove the interest from fellow Jews is unclear. I’m sure they do charge them some sort of interest because I know of many Jews that have mortgages and car loans that are in fact paying interest and so they are in sin. And this goes without mentioning credit cards wherein anyone can sign up and nowhere on the form does it ask for nationality or religious affiliation so as to obvious, nary a banker considers the Scripture on this.

Now the other toss of the coin on this is that when they lend money to those that aren't Jewish, the Word of God does say they can charge interest. For it is also written in Deuteronomy 23:20, "Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it."

But, now here's another sticky wicket as far as I can see. Since historic record confirms the Jews have been scattered all over the world over the centuries. And so it’s next to impossible to know who has Jewish blood and who doesn’t. In fact, they just recently discovered the starving Ethiopians are of Jewish descent. And I recently discovered some years ago that my very own parent's nationalities can be traced back to two of Jacob's tribes. And so, unless the bankers do the research before lending the money to each and every person stepping into their banks; and judging by their huge coffers I am sure they can afford to do that; but unless they research ever person seeking a loan out right down to their bloodlines, if they lend to a fellow Jew and still charge interest, I would think they would be held accountable.

But to get a mortgage today, no problem at all. In fact, Jesus touches on this in an offhand way in Matthew 25:27 when He said, "Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury."

If it wasn’t sinful to gain by usury then Jesus would not have said this. Still.. if the usary is there the sin is not on us. It's on the one charging it.

Does the Word say that any meat we eat must come from an animal we have personally seen get killed? Is grocery store meat against the commands of God? I know to watch for GMO's, steroids, hormones, etc., but are we commanded to abstain from meats from animals which we did not witness get killed? If so, will you please provide the appropriate verse(s)? God bless.

Now there are still ways to get clean meats today, but the problem with today’s grocery stores is that they NEVER remove the blood from the animals nor do they have a Rabbi witness the killing. Now yes, you can find kosher markets as I did almost three decades ago, but the cost for the meat is at least three times the price and they still don’t remove the drugs from the animals. And such markets are so far and few between, that like in my expereince you may have to drive over two hours just to get to one. Still, the main issue most people fail to realize about even the cleam meats is, you still must get the blood out of the meat. Check out these verses of many that declare the Lord's will on this and why.

There are many other verses that echo all this, but these three passages should suffice.

Hi Pastor Nicholas, this is what that same church - 7th day Adventist pastor said to me. What should I make of this? I know you mentioned If it is SDA it is in apostasy. Plus ALL SDA churches are government approved and controlled because they all have the government 501c3 contract now. Can they be any different or they just don't know it? Thank you in advance!

This is what he said:"No our church is not owned by the government in any sense. We believe in a separation of church and state.

First and foremost notice he does not address the Bible verses I have listed on my image of the beast page that confirm the truth regarding the 501c3 in any way shape or form. But then that is par for the course when they know the Bible cannot be used to refute the Bible.

One thing I have noticed with every 501c3 government approved church pastor is that they don’t seem to have any problem lying. And this pastor is lying. When the the 501c3 contract was originally written it boldly stipulated you cannot speak any political info from the pulpits. This is why Bush did what he did in March of 2006 and why Trump did what he did in May of 2017 to allow the pastors to speak politically from their pulpits. But the truth is, that original draft was their way of making sure all the pastors were on the same page regarding the Pope in Rome and his ecumenical movement. Now that decades have passed and all of them stopped slamming the Pope on the pulpit it's perfectly safe now for the second beast of Revelation (the USA) to all them to speak politically. Thanks to the Jesuit infiltration that controls the sermons, the ecumenical contracts that force them to comply, and the agreement between all the pastors that as of June 26, 2000 the Pope is their one world church leader and thisincludes the SDA pastors, giving life unto the Vatican's image in all those pulpits is primed and ready.

The truth is, the 501c3 is the prophesied image of the beast and all those that were disobedient to the Lord were unable to see this because the Lord specifically states in His Word in many ways that the only way we will be able to understand prophecy is to be obedient to the Lord that spoke those prophecies. I have a shortstudy on that basic biblical reality posted on my site if anyone is interested.

Before Bush and Trump's executive orders being penned, the fact the Pope is both a church and a State made it illegal for the preachers with the 501c3 to effectively expose the Pope because even though he is the official leader of the Roman church, he is also the sovereign head or political leader of Vatican city, which is an actual country. But that doesn't negate the main structure of the 501c3 now that Bush and Trump altered how it is enforced. Yes, the preachers can now speak politically form their pulpits, but #1, they won't do so in a way that upsets their one world church leader now and #2, even if they never had that option removed the basic fact is they joined themselves in a contract with the United States Government, (the second beast of Revelation) that openly hates real Christians and embraces everything from islam to Satanism as legit faiths; this means the 501c3 disobedient pastors are completely blind when it comes to prophetic symbolism. And being blind they will have no problem lying as this pastor just did in that email claiming he believes in separation of church and State. The basic reality that the 501c3 contract means you must join your church with your state proves he is a bold faced liar.

And by the way, it was also prophesied that the false preaches would be hungry for money or “filthy lucre” as it’s called in the Word. Having the 501c3 allows them to have tons of extra cash at the end of the year due to their tax right offs. Some of these churches, and this includes the SDA church, bring in tens of millions of dollars a year. But thanks to the 501c3 contract they actually get a massive raise in pay, and this is millions of dollars for the smaller churches and tens of millions for the main stream ones.

But the prophetic icing on this cake everyone of these pastors keep missing is what happened in March of 2006 and May of 2017 when both President George W. Bush, and Donald J. Trump signed it into law that ALL 501c3 churches are not only to be considered official Government agencies; they also have the long prophesied ability to lobby for the religious laws they need to try and quench the loud cry we the real remnant people proclaim. The fact the US Government will fine the SDA church tens of millions of dollars in fines, excise taxes and past due bills if they try to dump the 501c3 confirms the antichristian United States Government does in fact OWN THAT CHURCH! So much so, did you also realize these basic contract agreements in the 501c3? I have this in a bit more detail on my image of the beast page if you want to dig deeper.

This list comes from a document titled "Down and Dirty" by Barbara Ketay. Her list is titled;

And so again, whoever said they are not “owned by the government” is either greatly uninformed as to what they signed unto when they put their signature on the 501c3 contract, or as is more commonly the case, they are a bold faced liar.

A sister in the truth sent a certain SDA minister my image of the beast page and then a copy of their 501c3 contract from the government website and asked if this was true about them. This was their response:

Yes, xxxx xxxxxxx is 501c3. It was the only way to give a legitimate receipt to donors. We are not in partnership with the government. That is ridiculous!!!!! We have preached, written, and taught the 3 Angels messages for over 22 years in this ministry amid threats, and death warnings!! Give me a break, but believe what you want!!

This is so sad dear sister. This means he is actually lying. I’ve never been 501c3 and I send receipts all the time, but only for proof the people donated because my donors know all about the dangers of righting off the tithe on their taxes. This is how blind xxxx has become. The receipt he speaks of is where he tells his donors to use the receipt to right off their tithe on their income taxes. Which is directly against the Lord’s written Word. When his donors do that they actually nullify the tithe. Our God cannot accept their tithe any more than He would accept the tainted sacrifice of Saul when he gathered the best of King Agag’s sheep and oxen. True sacrifice must be 100%. The tithe is to be a complete separation from the purse. Getting a right off means YOU GAIN by tithing to 501c3 government preachers just as Saul GAINED (so he thought) by gathering those sheep. To use Agag’s sheep and oxen would be no sacrifice at all. Righting the tithe off is no different.

And as for his claim that he is not participating with the government. That is a lie as well because the only way to be incorporated under the 501c3 is to actually be in union/partnership with the State. That is what incorporation means. Xxxx and every other SDA preacher go directly against Christ’s demand to keep church & state separate when they signed those contracts. They actually obey the state over the Lord Himself which then confirms their partnership. Worse yet, all this was prophesied! Xxxx created an image to the beast in Rome by signing that document. And now, as of Trump’s pen last month, Xxxx has the power to lobby for religious law under his partnership with the state.

His numerous exclamation points also dictate how angry he is for getting caught on this. I’ve seen this type of response many times. What he’s not saying is even more deceptive in that if he contacts his partner in the second beast of Revelation (the USA government) and demands to be removed from his contract, the money he worships is not only gone; he will then owe his partner in the government back taxes, penalties and excise taxes. And so he like any other government preacher will defend his stance even to the point of displaying an unChristlike character. You know, like Peter who cursed to hide his fear of being outed as a follower of Christ that night.

Pray for him sister. He is not only lying to his donors, he is lying to himself and to His God. It’s bad enough he has created an image to the beast in Rome by joining with the second beast. He is admitting in this email to conning his donors into thinking God allows them to nullify their own tithe.

Brother:
In this chapter, is the Psalmist declaring that the people of God did no wrong yet the Lord afflicted them anyway? Or, is he declaring that BECAUSE they follow the Lord, they have become a shame to the heathen? Like how we are shameful in the eyes of the world because we follow the commandments of God? After mentioning how much the heathen hates God's people, this is said in Psalm 44:17 "All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant."

What is sounds like to me is that the Psalmist is lamenting the fact that the world hates him & his brethren. Am I anywhere close to understanding this chapter? God bless.

You’re correct brother, the Christian today can also repeat this Psalm with the same heartfelt love and trust as we too are hated for the truth we embrace and proclaim. And no matter how much the world hates us we move ahead in God’s love to do the work regardless of how the world treats us because we love Him that much and we know (especially the Gideon band will know in the coming days) that when it gets very rough we will cry out for Him to redeem us in all ways a man can be redeemed and this includes from the Armageddon hordes that stand all around us on that great and dreadful day.

By the way, one can see an echo of this truth in the words of our King in John 15:18-19, "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you."

2 Timothy 3:1-5, "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."

Nicholas, obedience to God’s commandments has always been the key factor in receiving of His power correct? To deny the power then would be to deny and disobey God’s commandments. What do you think?

It’s actually two fold. Revelation 14:12 says, "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

I am sure you already know that, but if it was to be shared as the only source of power being His law, then some babes may believe that keeping His law is all they need to do. Thing is, the Jews thought that and in so doing failed to recognize Jesus as Messiah when He visited them. So yes, keeping His law will grant us the power we need to do as He commands. But we must be Christians first because unless we accept Jesus as Lord, we can’t possibly keep His law. For it is His Holy Spirit that helps us keep it. That's why I always say, we don't keep the law to get saved, we keep it because we are saved. Mankind cannot keep His law at all, and so those that think they can keep it without the promised Comforter of Jesus Christ deny the Power that is our God residing in our hearts.

This may be a bit odd, but this is the best way I know to explain it. I look at the human soul in the same way I look at a lightbulb.

The bulb itself is the “material of the human body”
The electricity is the “breath of life”
Once the switch is turned “on” the light is the “soul”

Genesis 2:7 says, "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and manbecame a living soul." and then Jesus also said in Matthew 10:28, "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

Here we see a direct separation of the two. In fact, if you search the words “body” and “soul” in Scripture you will find many statements that show the body and the soul are two different things. One of my favorites being 1 Thessalonians 5:23 which says, "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Rome likes to paint the picture that a soul is a ghostly being that is trapped inside the human form until death and once dead we can float about on clouds strumming harps or even appearing at 4:00am one day at the end of the bed of our living loved ones to scare the daylights out of them. But after Jesus died for us, and then resurrected, the Word of God records something that puts to rest the Vatican lie regarding the state of the dead. Notice what is shared in the following passage.

Luke 24:36-43, "And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them."

Not only does Jesus make it clear that He is not a ghost, He proves to them He has flesh and bones, and to further solidify the truth He ate some honeycomb with them. Not something most deceived by Rome understand to be the description of a ghost now is it?

Someone said Moses wrote the Ten Commandments after he broke the first two tables of stone and I referenced back. Deuteronomy 10:1-5 which says, "At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark. And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand. And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me. And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me."

I'm aware of the counter argument, but very difficult to read it this way and better to read that God wrote it through Moses. Does God writing that himself vs God writting it through a prophet make it any less worthy of scripture?

Was the incarnation of God in the flesh any less effective than God working in creation without the flesh??

As close to the end as we are we will see some very crafty responses from those that seek ways to belittle the Law of God as something manmade and not as important as we the remnant people say it is.

But as you illustrated quite effectively by sharing that passage; Moses did not write the Commandments on the second set of tablets. The Lord told him to carve out the new tablets himself this time, yes, but it clearly says God wrote the words on the stone again when He said to Moses, "I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest."

What amazes me is how when caught red-handed embracing false theology, the one responding shored up his stance by claiming it was very difficult to read it the way it was written and better for him to read it in the way his flesh preferred and then claiming it was just as worthy of Scripture if a prophet wrote it still makes his stance seem a valid one in Christendom when in fact it's a lie. Moses, be he a prophet or not, did not write the ten commandments on that second set of tables.

In fact, I can see why the Sunday keeper refuses to see it the way God declared it because Sunday keepers will not strive unto the perfection of Christ wherein we see the Divine nature man can attain to in obedience to Christ.

What I mean is; just as the final Christians in the last days that are slated to be be in that number will emulate the divine nature between God and man; we see that Moses did the carving on that stone and the Lord Himself wrote the law.

In other words, it was the first time that I can recall in the Word of God wherein such a symbol was offered that showed man and God working hand in hand as one. Just as man walks in Christ and does all he can to burn off the dross or carve away the bits of useless stone, the Lord then writes His law in His heart.

Even the Sanctuary services itself show man and God working hand in hand, does it not? But the ultimate example of man and God as one is in the expressed image of the Father Himself in Jesus Christ our Lord, King and Saviour who is truly man and truly God.

But, when the Law is frowned upon, one cannot see the power of the truth in that act wherein Moses carved the tables and God wrote the Laws.
