The Forerunner: Elijah the Prophet Part Two

Filed under: Book Base, Hall Of Religion, Misc Stuff — admin @ 6:21 am

Excerpts from The Third Testament

THE COUNSEL OF ELIJAH NO. 2 Part Two

24. The Father creates His children to perfection. He did not place impurities within Creation; it is the spirit who is gathering discord and wickedness along the pathway, a wickedness that is reflected in the heart and makes purification necessary, which is pain; not because the Father wants it so, but rather because you have caused it, and that is not the will of the Father.

25. Enter into prayer in the silence of your home. Elevate your thought toward the Father who knows every worry, and is aware of every suffering in your heart, without the need of pronouncing any word whatsoever, and thus communicate with Him from spirit to Spirit to feel life, as much in the spirit as in the body, and restore them with fortitude and light in this manner.

26. Now is the time of purification, of the light of the Holy Spirit, the time in which every spirit must unite with the Father, because that is why you observe nations at war and suffering among mankind.

27. It is the time to recognise and follow the Father.

28. Woe! Woe! unto him that holds wicked intentions within his heart, because all evil shall be exterminated, tied and hurled into the fire as the Father announced. But to be free from that, the Father has sent you into the world anew to fulfill a mission.

29. Beloved fathers, you who were sent to form a home and have a family, have the responsibility that your young ones do not stray, and as heads of family, you should set a good example and give your blessings.

30. You, women of Israel, have a delicate mission on Earth, similar to Mary, the Purest Mother, because you should be the loving skylarks filled with warmth, filled with love, and because of it, you should not carry a whip in your hands toward your little ones. No, my beloved ones, it is the perfect will of the Father that with love you should be guiding the steps of your young children; speak to them about the Father so that at an early age they may recognise their Father who is in the Great Beyond, and from those little ones of today will emerge the illuminated, the prophets, the doctors.

31. Do you see, beloved people, what a delicate mission falls upon each of you?

32. To those of you who find yourselves on Earth without a cause, you may not know for what purpose the Father has sent you, though your spirit could possess a great responsibility, a great mission that you must fulfill, and in that manner find happiness.

The World Famous 666 - What is this Often Misunderstood Number and What does it Mean

Filed under: Hall Of Religion — admin @ 11:42 am

Question

What is the mark of the beast, the now world famous 666?

Answer

There is more controversy flying around this loaded question than I care to address, but for the sake of those who have no knowledge at all on this subject I will try to break it down in terms that are understandable. What can be known about it for certain is that it is the mark that represents the antichrist’s economic system. Those who don’t have this mark will not be able to buy or sell anything. Whose name it actually represents, is too soon to say. It does seem to be a representation of the trinity of Satan, Satan, the antichrist, and the false prophet being the three constituents of that trinity.

An interesting development of late has been something called, Recommendation 666. This is one among many recommendations being adopted by the emerging government of the EU. This particular recommendation was introduced by the European Union’s security minister, Mr. Javier Solana. It is a matter of concern for many people for two reasons. The first is that the final vote on the European constitution is only about a year away. The second reason is because recommendation 666 seems to be worded in such a way that it gives emergency war powers to the leader of the EU if he has been sufficiently apprised of a terrorist threat or the country has actually undergone an actual terror attack. I have thoroughly read every word in this document and while I’m not sure that it something to worry about, it certainly is something to keep an eye on.

My strongest sense of conviction is to go with what we know about this dreaded number and keep a watchful eye on what develops hereafter. Using biblical numerology to point to some particular person is highly questionable and has only failed so many times before. A cautious and thoughtful approach is highly advisable, and a large application of watchful patience will win the day on this subject.

Question

If the pre-tribulationists are mistaken, and some of us are called upon to die at the hand of the antichrist, how will we he able to face this terrible and fearful matter.

Answer

Years ago I showed the movie that is now part of Billy Graham Ministries, called The Hiding Place. The movie is about Corrie Ten Boom who was delivered to tell her story to the world after spending time in the notorious Nazi prison camp named Ravensbruck. Besides seeing her parents and her siblings die under the Nazis, over ninety thousand women met their death in that dreaded camp. In one of Corrie’s books she tells a story about a question she asked her father when she was just a little girl. Her question to him was. How will I be able to find the strength or courage to die if I should be asked to die for my faith in Jesus Christ? Her father answered her question with a question of his own. He said, Corrie, when you go to see your aunt in the country every summer on the train, when do I give you the ticket to board the train? She replied, you give me the ticket the day I’m boarding the train. Her father said, that is correct, and Jesus will give you the strength and the courage to die for him if you have to on the day you are asked to die. I have never heard a better answer anywhere over the years. Gods grace for living will shift to Gods grace for dying as it is needed and not until then.

The Separation of Church and State? Evolution, Intelligent Design and the Bible - Part 2

Filed under: Hall Of Religion — admin @ 11:46 pm

What is the Theory of Evolution? First we must look at what a Theory is. Heres the definition:

1. A belief that can guide behavior.
2. A tentative theory about the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena.
3. A well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world;
4. an organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena. “theories can incorporate facts and laws and tested hypotheses”; “true in fact and theory”

Evolution; A process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage) (biology) the sequence of events involved in the evolutionary development of a species or taxonomic group of organisms. The problem we have with the Theory of Evolution is that this theory is not based on provable facts. After all its just a theory. Words such as,
1. that if true,
2. A belief that can guide behavior,
3. A tentative theory,
4. a concept that is not yet verified, and
5. an organized system, brings about the fact that This Theory is not just a Theory but is a religion or better should I say Cult. When any organization such as the Scientific community brings about this type of Doctrine it separates itself from a reasonable house to a Doctrine-ated entity that deceives others and itself. Yes I’m saying that The Theory of Evolution is a Religion and a Doctrine.

A Doctrine is, A belief (or system of beliefs) accepted as authoritative by some group or school. Evolution is a belief that can guide behavior, as such it becomes dangerous to not only the Christian Community but also to the Children that receive this information believing that the school system wouldn’t teach it, if it wasn’t true, this is a deception. The time of Schools teaching the three R’s is over. Now we teach theories and speculation, not facts.
A concept that is not yet verified is saying that evolution has no basses of truth because it has not been proven to be fact. So if the schools want to teach evolution as an unproven doctrine, why then cant we teach that 2 plus 2 equals 5 because it also is a Theory to some? 2 plus2 may not really equal 4.

Sense Evolution is A belief that can guide behavior, can we also say the The Bible can also be taught because it also is a belief that can guide behavior. Where this theory is a bit scary, is that it may guide the behavior of the weak in mind to do things that are contrary to sound judgment. Darwin did not know the source of variations in individual organisms, but observed that it seemed to be by chance. Later work pinned much of this variation onto mutation. Words such as, Genetic drift, Gene flow, Natural selection, Morphological evidence, and Evolutionary Biology, all indicate a doctrine, which is supposed to be illegal, in society today, to have within our school systems.

So why do the scientific and educational systems want to teach a theory as fact? Because they are offended by the truth of the Bible. For centuries they have tried to discount the truth of the Bible but to no avail. Many people have a hard time taking anything on Faith and Trust in an Entity they cannot see. But at the same time they want us to teach our children unproven theories about man evolving from animals.
Where Evolution lacks credibility is that there is no mention of a soul, spirit nor the ability to make rational decisions. If a group of pre-animate objects evolved into a higher being why didn’t all, of the same species evolve? And why don’t the species that we are supposed to evolved from have a sense of Intelligent reasoning?
Why? The Bible states in Job 32:9, Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. Ecc 3:19-22; For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
Now isn’t it reasonable that sense Evolution is a belief that can guide behavior, and the schools systems say that it must be taught, why then are they so afraid to teach, not Intelligent Design, but the True Bible that also is a belief that can guide behavior?

Psalms of the Watchman, Hour glass of Eternity

Filed under: Hall Of Religion — admin @ 7:33 pm

Sand falls The Sun rises The Hour glass is run low. Nations
heave Waves roll The moon is ashamed. Clouds are angry Wilst the
chao’s reigns Rising and falling, they breathe Heavily,
unsustained, and uncontrollable Men of war Bloodshed, hatred,
lust, and blindness Apocalypse soon they ask? Soon! comes the
answer… From somewhere the answer has arrived From nowhere,
from eternity Where do we look they scream All the while the
enemy smiles….

In the fields the sand blows Across the hard cracked earth
Grains of fruitfulness Dead, long gone. Harvest is no more.
Cleanness of teeth Empty bellies Crying, hunger, Flies,
sickness, and death Apocalypse soon they ask? Soon! comes the
answer From Somewhere the answer comes From nowhere, from
eternity Where do we look they scream All the while the enemy
smiles. Chao’s earth, Destiny, man is destined For this, from
time and eternal It is the end, The Sand has stopped, It is no
more, From this the Master stirs.

It is time, a voice echo’s Time, is the resplendant reply Heaven
opens, The curtain is thrown back, Lightening pours forth,
Armies flow from the breach, A rider, a white horse Word of
God… He has arrived. Multitudes of multitudes follow Him This
King in brillance of white From Here it can be seen All the
while the enemy grimaces. Enemy of enemies cast down, Hope has
arrived, It is here, The Kingdom of God. We have waited, we have
watched Now it has arrived The Kingdom of God, Brought in by the
Son of God The Messiah, Triumphant Yeshua, from above has
returned Just as He said He would… And we have waited for Him,
This is the Lord… He has saved us…. Just as He said He
would…. All the while the enemy is cast down…. And death
with Him, this is the last enemy… Death…Your sting is no
more…. For Yeshua HaMassiach, Jesus Christ, Has arrived….
And His kingdom with Him…. Praise the Lord all ye lands,
Glorify Him all ye people… For the King is Here. God

Calling

Filed under: Hall Of Religion — admin @ 5:56 pm

Some may ask what is a calling and what shall I do when called. Well let’s look at the Bible and see what it says. First look at 1Samuel 3:8 it says The Lord called Samuel a third time, and Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, Here I am; you called me. Then Eli realized the Lord was calling the boy. So Eli told Samuel, Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, Samuel! Samuel! Then Samuel said, Speak, for your servant is listening. And the Lord said to Samuel: See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make the ears of everyone who hears of it tingle.

Now look at Romans 8:28 it says And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified, those he justified, he also glorified. What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us allhow will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns?

Christ Jesus, who diedmore than that, who was raised to lifeis at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to slaughtered.

No (Nay), in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus Our Lord.

Now look at Romans 11:29 it says for God’s gift and his call are irrevocable. Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you. For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.

It is written in the book of Ephesians 4:1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worth of the calling you have received; Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spiritjust as you were called to one hope when you were calledone Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. This is why it says; When he ascended on high, he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men.

Take a look at Psalms 145:17 it says The Lord is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made. The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. Now look at 1Corinthians 7:17 it says Nevertheless, each one should retain the place in life that the Lord assigned to him and to which God has called him.

To conclude turn to the book of Galatians 5:13 it says You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command; Love your neighbor as yourself. If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.

Love Always,
Your Sister in Christ,

What Will Your Eyes See?

Filed under: Hall Of Religion — admin @ 12:44 pm

I will lift up mine eyes to the hills -from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Ps 121:1-2

What a wonderful statement of Christian faith! It gives me profound hope to know that during times of confusion and despair, all we need to do is raise our weary eyes to the hills and He will be there to comfort us with outstretched arms.

His outstretched arms. I can’t help but think about the point of Christ’s Passion. Mel Gibson’s movie had raised much controversy throughout the world. I had heard mixed reviews and comments regarding the information presented in the film. It had been called anti-Semitic and violent. Historical scholars analyzed the film to pieces and tried, as academia always does, to deny everything Jesus did in his all-too-brief lifetime. What point is all this leading to? Sometimes as mere human beings we get so caught up in little details of something that we fail to see the big picture. It’s all too easy to do.

The blood that was shed on Calvary was indeed shed for each and every one of us. We must look deep into Christ’s eyes and feel, through His pain, the tremendous love He showed us with his outstretched arms. To focus on the beauty of the Passion, the reason why it occurred in the first place, is to understand the point of it. For someone to go through what Christ did and still have the strength to love us, the passion to die for our sins, is pretty remarkable. The depth of His love for us knows no bounds, and I think His Passion is proof of that. What a tremendous gift for a fallen humanity to receive.

As Christians, we need to challenge each other to keep our minds free of the little details that clutter our minds. Only when we do this are we able to give back to the Lord what He so freely gave us to us. The next time you lift up your eyes to the hill, to Calvary, ponder the mystery of his outstretched arms and remember what He gave to you - His undying love. By opening our minds to the point, we, as a church, can open our ministry to the possibilities this point brings.

*Dear gracious Father in heaven, we thank you for giving your son to us. Help us to open up to the wonderful possibilities new ministries can bring to our church. In your name we pray, Amen.
