A DIRECT CORRELATION

THE DIRECT CORRELATION

                Do you believe in global warming? I do. But I don’t buy Al Gore’s model of blaming it on our SUVS and such. I once read that if we parked all the cars and shut down all of the factories in the world, it would only make about a 2% difference in our environment.

                No we are dealing with something much bigger than that… something that involves our entire solar system and if we really want to understand what is going on, our best information will be found in the Bible.

                People scoff out loud if you mention that we are facing the judgments of God, but that is because they don’t understand how the judgments of God work. The truth is that there is a direct correlation between the spiritual realm and the physical realm. If the nations serve the Creator God, then His Spirit prevails and we are blessed by favorable conditions for the most part. God’s presence is life giving and character building. But if we abandon God and turn to other gods, then the world becomes controlled by malevolent forces… evil forces that actually want us dead… especially the remnant of those who still serve the true God.

                God doesn’t have to judge us. Let’s say that you have set before you either a source of pure water, or a source of say, Coke. Whichever one you choose, you will have to live by that one. Well, the coke tastes good and it is pleasing to the senses, but with a pH of 2.4 it will in time eat your insides out. Water, on the other hand was created by our Creator and it will promote a long and healthy life.

                The question is this: Did God actively enter into the situation and judge you for drinking Coke, or did your choice of drinking Coke instead of water bring about its own reward?  Here I am using Coke as an example of choices between that which promotes good health and that which works against good health in the long run. So then, this is the usual method by which we are judged. It is not God intervening to curse us for drinking Coke. The truth is, coke just isn’t good for you and it will in time begin to break down your health, rot your teeth and perhaps give you diabetes. That’s just the way it is.

                So when we say that God’s judgments are in the land, we are not saying that God has intervened at this point to curse sinners. We simply understand a spiritual principle that says this:

                “Be not deceived. God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows; this will he also reap. For one who sows to his own flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap eternal life.” Gal. 6:7, 8.

                The entire creation was set up this way. All seeds bear according to their kind. You sow weeds… you get weeds. If you sow fruit and veggies, you get fruit and veggies. If you sow to the Spirit of God you will reap from the Spirit of God the fruit of the Spirit. So in this sense we can say that we are not hiding from an angry God. We are simply reaping whatever kind of seeds we sow. In today’s vernacular we would say “Garbage in- Garbage out.

                There is a time coming in which God is going to step out of His order of creation to perform a strange act. He is going to pour out His wrath upon Satan and His kingdom and the beast and the false prophet will be thrown alive into the lake of fire. Rev. 19:20.

                This is not God’s standard operating procedure to judge people, for indeed we most of the time judge ourselves by the seed that we plant in our lives.

                Now much of the church today thinks that we are prevailing in the world and that we are about to take over and offer up the kingdom of this world to Jesus Christ, but this is really an illusion. We look at the huge stadium sized churches on TV and we think we are growing, when in fact people are moving from the thousands of small churches and flocking to the mega churches with itching ears where in many cases they are being taught a different Gospel, with a different Christ and a different spirit.

                In fact in some cases they are engaging in powers other than the power of the Holy Spirit to work miracles and make prophecies. They no longer discern the spirits because they no longer test them by the Word and so parts of the church have been infiltrated with psycho-babel and divination and psychic powers. They have allowed the Kundalini spirit (Of Hinduism/New Age) to come in and to imitate the Holy Spirit, even as they embrace New Age practices and philosophies.

                In other words, the pure seed of the Gospel is being mixed with GMO seeds so that the Gospel still looks and sounds good, but the fruit it bears will in time reveal a very different crop.

                God gave us a spiritual litmus test in Isaiah 8:20 saying: “To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn.” And even though the New Testament is founded upon the Covenant of Abraham and not upon the Law; the New Covenant never breaks the Law, but fulfills it with love and the righteousness of Christ.

                Like Paul says in Romans 8:4: “The law is fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”  And it is in living by the Spirit of Christ that we enter into His rest. So we have no fight with the Law. It is holy and righteous and good, but it is now fulfilled in an infinitely better way and that is through true love for God and for our fellow men. And this love is not derived from our flesh, but from the power of Christ’s indwelling Holy Spirit.

                So, while we think that the church is making great strides in taking this land for Christ, we are in fact falling away in droves to worship the beast and his image and contrary to what many teach today Revelation 13:7, 8 says of the beast: “And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them; and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. And all who dwell on the earth will worship him, every one whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain.” Rev 13:7, 8

                So we can’t just glide along to glory. We have got to make our calling and election sure. We need to know the Word and to walk in it. We need to be obedient as Abraham was obedient.

                The Apostle Paul said this about being a Christian: “Just as Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness, therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. (By faith we have become Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise. Gal. 3:29) And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the Gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, ‘In you all the nations shall be blessed. So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.’ but that no one is justified by law in the sight of God is evident, for the just shall live by faith.” Gal. 3:6-11.

                It has come to me as a new revelation (though not new at all) that the New Covenant that we have in Christ is not founded upon the covenant of Moses, but upon God’s covenant with Abraham. Moses’ covenant was a covenant of Law, whereas Abraham’s covenant was a covenant of promise.

                Paul goes on to explain that the promises that God made to Abraham and to his seed, did not mean many seeds, but to one Seed and that is Jesus Christ. When you receive Christ, then you receive all that was promised. (Gal. 3:16)

                So Paul is saying that if you go back and try to base our New Covenant on Law, then it is no longer based on promise, for the promises are received by faith, but the Law is not of faith. (Gal. 3:12) So if we try to base the promises upon the Law, we are cursed, because the Law has no power to save us or even to justify us. (Gal. 3:18)

                This understanding is critical and will become much more critical in the days ahead, for this reason. The Zionist/Cabalistic Jews believe that the whole world must keep the Law in order for their Mashiach (Messiah) to return. What this means is that all Jews worldwide and those who convert to Judaism must keep the whole Law as it is interpreted by the Babylonian Talmud and the Zohar and all Gentiles must keep the Noahide laws. Any infringement of these laws will be punishable by death by decapitation.

                This is written into their laws my friends and they intend to enforce these laws worldwide through what we Christians know to be the global kingdom of the antichrist. Now beware of this: Their number one law is that the Lord our God is one God. So any infringement upon the oneness of God will be punishable by death. Therefore anyone that believes in the Trinity, or in Jesus Christ as God in human flesh, will be exterminated and will have no part in the age to come.

                Now bear in mind what John said in 1 John 2:22: Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.” So we have been spoon fed the identity of the antichrist and yet we have not really caught on to it until now. The papacy, in spite of its somewhat messed up doctrine, do believe in the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. So perhaps we should be looking somewhere else for the antichrist.

                The Cabalists also state in there laws that every true follower of God must receive a mark in their foreheads or hands… a mark of allegiance to God. Unfortunately their Cabalistic god is Ein SOF and Ein SOF is none other than Lucifer. So guess what this mark is. It is the Mark of the beast.

                Nowhere in Scripture are we requested to receive a mark of allegiance to God. We instead have the seal of God which is the Holy Spirit. Eph. 1:13, Eph. 4:30, 2 Cor. 1:21, 22

                What a twist of fate this has turned out to be, for in my growing up I was taught as the reformers believed that the Pope would be the antichrist and that he would force his laws including Sunday Worship upon the whole world… but now we are seeing a paradigm shift. It is not the pope that will rule the world as the antichrist, but one is coming in the place of Christ … one that has always wanted to be worshipped as Christ and that is Ein SOF… Lucifer.

                But the pope has a very definite part in this because he has been for several years now acting the part of the false prophet as he gathers the nations of the world together to form one global religion and this global religion will in turn pay homage to the beast. (The antichrist)

                We Christians who live by faith in Christ, the one Seed of Abraham to which the promises were given will be put on trial for our faith because the true Seed of Abraham is Christ… and the Zionist/ Cabbalist Jews have rejected Jesus and therefore they have rejected the covenant of Abraham and they will think to prepare the whole world to receive their Messiah by enforcing the Law upon all of humanity.

                The more I study into these things the more I begin to gain a true picture of what real Christianity is according to Paul. Real Christianity is, as I have said above, not based upon the Mosaic covenant of Law, but upon the Abrahamic covenant of promise. And the promises that god made to Abraham are received by us by faith in Christ the one Seed to which all of the promises were written.

                We cannot receive the promises through Law “For if the inheritance is based on law it is no longer based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise.” Gal. 3:18

                Now, as I have pointed out many times, our life in Christ does not break the Law… in fact it fulfills the Law infinitely more than does attempting to keep the letter of the Law. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. Neither in the Old Testament or New Testaments does it say that we are saved by keeping the Law. The Law is and always has been a ministry of death. In the Old Testament it led them to sacrifice an innocent animal. In the New Testament the Law leads us to the foot of the cross where we receive the death of the true Lamb of God in our place. In either case there is no remission of sins without the shedding of blood. (Heb. 9:22) Thus, having died to the Law we begin to live in the power of His resurrection in a completely new covenant based upon promise instead of Law.

                The Law is holy and righteous and good. Unfortunately it has no power to make us holy and righteous and good, therefore it has always pointed to a Savior which is Christ the Lord.

                To reject this scenario is to reject Paul and thus to reject the heart and body of the New Testament. So you may ask, “Why then are God’s remnant people in Revelation 14: 12 and 19:10 described as keeping the commandments and having the testimony of Jesus?

                The answer is that since no one but Jesus has ever fulfilled the Commandments without a single sin, we would have to say that these people have learned to live by the Spirit instead of by the flesh. The Law is being fulfilled by love and that love is manifested in and through them because they have become temples of the Holy Spirit. But even at that Revelation 12:11 says that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony. We are saved by the blood of the Lamb and by the power of His Holy Spirit and not by anything that we might do in our flesh in terms of keeping the Law.

                The sad thing today is that many Christians come out from under the Law, but they do not really live by the Spirit. In fact they are living in the flesh and judging life in the flesh and in order to accommodate for their lack of true Christian living, they are embracing a different Gospel a different spirit and in time they will embrace a different Christ as well.

                The truth is that unless we are living by the Spirit, we are still under Law no matter what our doctrine says. We can say the Law is done away all we want to but if we are not living by the power of Christ as described in Gal. 2:20, having been crucified with Christ and living by His power, we are still under Law and not one jot or tittle of the Law will pass away until all is accomplished.

                I’m sure that this has become somewhat laborious, but the truth is that most Christians never really study out what they believe and why. They are just along for the ride. But issues are on the near horizon that will test what we believe…and it would be foolish to believe that we will be zapped out of here before our faith is put to the test… after all; Christians are being killed, tortured and beheaded right now all over the world for the name of Jesus.

                It is God’s part to determine when Jesus will come and it is our part to be faithful to Him until He comes, so as good stewards of His Word, we must be faithful to the Lord living in Spirit and in Truth until the day that Jesus takes us home.

                There is a direct correlation between the great falling away from the faith and all of the events, whether political, or societal or even in the upheaval of nature. An evil spiritual force is taking over this world that will bring on the global kingdom of the Beast and we as Christians need to learn to stand firm in a society that is drifting into the jaws of the antichrist.

                We need to understand these things now because I believe that many events are going to bust wide open with this “Deal of the Century” that Trump and crew are about to unveil and I also believe that our possible engagement with Iran could quickly throw us into a world war as the nations choose sides… and let’s face it… it will be a war of religions more than politics and it may well be this war that will open the way for the antichrist to bring “Peace.” And it will fool many because he will seek to bring peace through divine Law, but it will be Law as interpreted by the Babylonian Talmud and not by the Scriptures… and thereby will many be deceived.

                I often go where angels fear to tread, but it is for the purpose of making us think and to determine in our hearts to know what we believe and why. I am not telling you what to believe, but rather bringing up the issues we face today so that you will get to the foundations of your faith. Have a blessed day.
