THE RANT

                I am amazed at how many Christians I run into that have absolutely no clue as to the issues we face in the world today. Their world view is completely shaped by CNN. They voted for Obama because he was black and Hillary because she was a woman and they hate Trump because they thought God should have put in a pew warming politically correct, complacent Christian as president.

                It is amazing how shallow society has become and unfortunately many Christians are just as shallow. They side with a progressive point of view because, well, the “Hard Right” is hated by the left. They call sin by its right name and that isn’t nice. Never mind that the progressives hate everybody. They hate America and despise everything we stand for including freedom. They are out there gallantly fighting for our rights to kill babies, worship demons and have sex with children and animals and in general to pursue the ways of Sodom and Gomorrah no matter what God has to say about it.  

                Christians today, who have never heard anything theologically deeper than “God is good all the time… All the time God is good” cannot seem to wrap their heads around the fact that we are plunging very quickly into the season of the antichrist. If God sounds a little harsh these days it is because we, His children, are running into the freeway, oblivious to oncoming traffic.

                We don’t even have to understand Bible prophecy in order to see the issues. The Lord’s Prayer says, “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” And the rest of the Bible tells us what His will is. This clue alone would succinctly inform us that God’s will is not being carried out on this planet at present. He never intended for the kind of suffering that is being perpetrated through greed, and hatred, war and famine in a world gone mad.

                Somehow we fail to learn even the most obvious lessons in life. For instance, before the Jews came back into their land it was dry barren scrubland. Nothing would grow there and so it had become the haunt of goats and owls. But shortly after Israel returned, the desert bloomed like a rose as promised and Israel became a key exporter of fruits and vegetables to Europe and surrounding nations.

                Then the U.N. insisted that Israel return the Gaza strip over to the Muslims. Gaza is on the coast and had become a major exporter of fruits and vegetables. It was a beautiful sea coast town burgeoning with tourism and industry. Today their water sources have dried up and been replaced with sea water with which nothing will grow and their once beautiful towns have become wastelands full of bullet riddled buildings and desperate people. Europe is spending billions of Euros to desalinate ocean water so that the people have something to drink.

                God cannot bless people who choose other gods. It is their choice, not His. And every other country in the Middle East is similarly cursed with barren dry desert land and war ravaged streets.

                Islam may have been formed as recently as A.D. 600, but their gods existed long ago in the most violent and tyrannical governments to ever rape this planet. Mohammed himself was a violent      and perverse man who slaughtered thousands of people and wrote his laws to defend his actions.

                Likewise Venezuela was a beautiful and productive country a few years ago until a godless communist regime took over. They took over not only the country, but private businesses and farms. Today the store shelves are empty and there are long lines of people waiting for handouts of food for the day.

                Likewise Kim Jong Un may be a fat little dictator with big rockets, but his people are starving to death and his political prisoners suffer untold torture and death along with Christians in that regime.

                The false religions and even the New Age movement all go back to Nimrod, who learned the arts of the fallen ones to alter his own DNA in order to become a mighty one.  He married his own mother and so Semiramis became symbolic of all of the queens of heaven or queens of Babylon by their varying names in all of the false religions. Even Mary, the queen of Pagan Rome and her son Tammuz form a loose disguise behind the façade of Mary and Jesus. All religions can be traced back to these sources including the Papacy.

                This is why God is returning His true church back to its Jewish roots and to the worship of God as He personally gave it to Moses on Mt. Sinai. And even though we have moved from a law on stone to a law written on our hearts and from animal sacrifices to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, our truth has a foundation totally separate from the pagan religions of the world. WE only need to look at who hates us today to know that our foundations are different and that we stand in opposition to the causes of Lucifer and his pagan religions.

                So, what we see in the progressive movement today is a complete denial of both true Jews and true Christianity as they once again push their pagan and Luciferian values upon our society. They are in the process of forming a global world order in defiance of Christ and if we want to stand for Christ then we must wake up and study the issues.

                We are moving into a head to head conflict, a climactic conflict between Jesus Christ and His people, verses Satan and his followers. Christians need to wake up and study their Bibles and learn Bible prophecy as God intended. Bible prophecy is not per se a bunch of charts in which we predict future events. It is rather an understanding of the flow of history from Genesis to Revelation, from the beginning of human history to the end of human history… where we are in the flow of it now… and what the issues are that we face and how to take our stand for truth and for Yeshua, our King of kings.

                For about 1600 years the church was plagued with allegorical method. As such it was rendered completely blind to what scripture was really saying. Bible prophecy was nothing more than a reflection of our own struggles in a spiritual sense with no other concrete meaning. But today we are seeing these things fulfilled in literal terms. Everything, from signs in the sun, moon and stars, to wars, to earthquakes and floods and famines, not to mention the formation of the final New World Order predicted in scripture, all taking place on a global scale and in literal terms. And these things are now happening at a frightening speed.

                The prophecies could not have been fulfilled prior to our current technology. And now here we are and most of Christianity doesn’t even understand the issues. The reasons we need to separate from all pagan forms of Christianity today are compelling. People don’t realize that the pagan sign of the cross by which Catholics sign themselves today, dates way back to the Babylonian mystery religions. The cross was a pagan phallus, a sign of fertility. It was a huge indignity for Yeshua to be crucified on such a symbol. That’s why we don’t worship the cross. We worship the Lamb of God who died on it. And we can only understand His death on such a symbol when we see Moses holding up a pole with a serpent on it to heal the people of their snake bites. But why a serpent for crying out loud?

                It is because Jesus became sin for us. He literally became guilty of our sins, yours and mine. He became the very thing that separated us from God… a thing that must be utterly destroyed… and God the Father had to turn His back on Him and utterly destroy Him who had become sin.

                Jesus could never have risen from the dead except for one thing. He Himself had never sinned. He Himself was not guilty. So even though the Father utterly destroyed for all time the sin that He carried, Jesus, Himself being not guilty, was free to raise Himself from the dead and thus to become the source of our resurrection as well.

                 Jesus said,” I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die.” John 11:25, 26.

                There is no one else in the entire universe who can say that. No one else can do that. Our hope is in Him. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He is our only access to the Father. He is our only hope beyond the grave.

                And so we have satanic Luciferian paganism today squaring off with true Christianity and God is forming a Remnant people who have forsaken all pagan ways, who keep the commandments of God and who bear the testimony of Jesus. WE are being called out of paganism… out of Babylon… out of the world and its systems and its secular world view.

                In a very real sense, keeping the commandments of God as well as replacing pagan Sabbaths and feast days with God’s appointed times is an act of defiance against Lucifer and his pagan religions. It is a tangible way to say “No” to Satan and “Yes” to God. Of course we say that same “No” to Satan in a thousand different ways as we separate from the world and its blighted acts of self-worship.

                We are developing a longer deeper vision that embraces eternity rather than the fleeting pleasures of sin for a season.

                I turn 70 this month. Any way you look at it, I only have a few years left on this planet. Eternity with My Lord and Savior sounds like a better deal with every passing day. But you, even if you are 20 years old, have no promise that you will even see tomorrow. Why invest your life in things that will soon be destroyed. Give your whole heart to Jesus. I find myself wishing now that I had been totally dedicated to Him all of my life. I could have saved a lot of heartache for me and others. Life lived for self isn’t at all what they portray it to be.

                Every day you see people in movies and music and industry. They have pushed their way to the top. They have sold their souls for fame and fortune only to commit suicide, or burn out on drugs or alcohol. They had everything didn’t they? They had everything that money could buy and yet it did not bring them what they thought it would bring. They are slaves… slaves to self, to demons, to habits, to popular opinion, to meaningless causes and most of all to lies. They are slaves to the lies that enticed them in the first place… and all they have ahead of them to look forward to is hell.

                 They said they didn’t want God and so He will send them to a place where God doesn’t dwell. There will be no resurrection or life for them… no relief from the pit into which they have fallen.

                So, let the divas gyrate on stage. Let them try to make hell look good. Let them flaunt their deals with the devil and their slave money. We are turning to face the bright lights of a city who’s Builder and Maker is God. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.
