Antichrist, The coming false messiah…

Revelations 13:1-2, “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.”

The book of Revelations reveals Satans last great deception to deceive mankind into the practice of false god worship, in exalting himself as the one true God. The Antichrist is the Devils main person of interest in his unholy trinity (with Satan as God, the Antichrist as Jesus, and the False Prophet as the Holy Spirit.)

The Antichrist unlike many teachings about him, will not be a religious figure but more of a charismatic political leader, who will have great influence in the world we know today. Once arriving on the world stage the devil incarate will first appear as a peace keeper but will morph into something entirely different from what he first appeared. Revelations 13 speaks of the Antichrist appearing, “upon the sand of the sea,” (sea representing people) and having seven heads and ten horns ( representing the seven empires that have persecuted Israel in the past, with the “ten horns” actually meaning the seventh head; the “ten horns” representing ten nations yet to come.)

The crowns spoken of here, as being crowned means that these nations have come to power and will use their political means to aid the Antichrist, these nations will be located in the Middle East, parts of Europe, and North Africa, all being part of the old Roman Empire territory (Daniel 7:7-8.) The book of Daniel gives us insight upon His arrival as a world power in Daniel 11:36-37, “And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. 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.”

Much like Lucifer did who became prideful upon his position in Heaven made the attempt to direct the worship towards himself and instead of God, Ezekiel 28. In just being cast out Ezekiel 28:17-18. The Antichrist will be a extreme Humanist (glorification of self) who will glorify himself overall, regarding no Religion or even the need for women, which is why I believe the Homosexual agenda is being pushed so hard in the world today, with it being a sign of the coming false Christ.

The Antichrist will turn his wrath towards Israel and the nations of the world demanding servitude and obedience unto his ungodly will. Luckily for the Church we will not see the Antichrist come into power as according to 2 Thessalonians 2:7-9, “For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.

The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders. The “One who holds back,” the power lawless one (Antichrist) is the Church which will be “taken away,” or raptured up. The Antichrist will be empowered by Satan having lying signs and wonders but the forces of darkness will not prevail, as stated in 2 Thessalonins 8 saying, “WHOM THE LORD WILL CONSUME WITH THE SPIRIT OF HIS MOUTH, AND SHALL DESTROY WITH THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING. It is important to know that all false doctrine, false worship (celebrities) and Humanist promotion of self is all one and the same promoting the Antichrist spirit coming into the world. Every Christian needs to spread the Truth of the Gospel which is of Jesus Christ and Him crucified, so that the world may escape the tribulations of the Antichrist and experience the joy of the Lord Jesus! Shalom…

Satanism

2 Corinthians 4:4, “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”

Satanism is the ideaology of one dedicating themselves to their carnal self and mind, into the self indulgence of sinful acts. Satanism was popularized in America in 1968 by Anton Szandor LaVey, who wrote the Satanic Bible and started the Church of Satan amid the rampant sex and drug craze of the late 1960s.

Lavey formed the foundation of Satanism based off of Atheism (the rejection of the belief in God or Spiritual Beings) to go against the Religious institutions that He felt many Americans enslave themselves to while robbing ones self of lifes more splendid pleasures. Satanists actually do not believe in Satan or God but in My opinion is a more radical version of Atheism.

The idea of Satan is viewed more as, “Man living as his prideful, carnal nature dictates, ” stated Peter H. Gilmore, the Church of Satan current leader. Satanists have nine belief statements which are 1.) Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence 2.) Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams 3.) Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit 4.) Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates 5.) Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek 6.) Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires 7.)

Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all. 8.) Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification 9.) Satan has been the best friend the Christian Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years. Also to mock the Church, Satanist invert religious symbols and ideas such as the Cross of Christ ( As depiceted in the picture above, instead of the Cross pointing up, it is shown pointing down mocking that Christ death and resurrection was in vain.) They also sing hymns that glorify the flesh and recite prayers backwards such as, “The Lords Prayer,” which in their mind reverses what The Lord has done for all of Mankind through the Cross. And sitting atop of the Cross is the pagan idol the Baphomet,(a pagan god that, resurfaced in the 19th century as a symbol of Satanism) which was derived from the scripture found in Leviticus 16:22, “And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.” Satanist took this image as a representation of themselves seeing as how the goat bears sin in which they choose to do also.

In death they believe they shall receive the “gift,” of every sin that they choose to live in while alive. The idea of Satanism is very idiotic, as the first and only true source of Satan is found in the Word of God and only there. Satan is not a rewarder but and accuser who fate is sealed and is only awaiting the Judgement of the One true God! I urge all to please pray for any who are trapped in this deceit that they may be saved and receive Christ the true Gift of Life. Also please be aware of the rampant Satanic symbolism that is being forced upon the unsuspecting individual from music, movies and celebrities who practice Satanism either knowingly or unknowingly in their art, Shalom…

Judging Others…

James 5:20 (NKJV), “let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.”

One very misguided teaching that Believer’s misconstrue, is that of correcting brothers and sisters in Christ from doing wrong. I know that in the past when Christians try to warn or sway others from falling in their walk with the Lord, the term “Don’t judge men,” always arises as well as a reference to Matthew 7:1 (NKJV), “Judge not, that you be not judged.” The scriptural teachings states that we are to correct those who are in Christ when it is needed as read in 1 Timothy 5:20, “Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear.” If a saved individual allows themselves to fall or is misguided in their ways, we as Christians are to correct them. This also is to let others know that this road is the one not traveled in the scriptures. Matthew 7: 1 actually speaks of condemning someone to Hell or guaranteeing Heaven unto someone. God (YAH), has that qualification and only Him alone to do so. This is stated in Romans 10:6 (NKJV), But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?”(that is, to bring Christ down from above). Though we cannot speak of where someone’s Spirit will end up eternally we can judge actions and beliefs. All men and women can repent at anytime from their transgressions and be made right by trusting in the Messiah to make them new. In this case we use discernment according to John 7:24 (NKJV) “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” Discernment is looking into a situation to see the righteousness of God in it. If their is none we need to address this with the person first and warn others. The Holy Bible lays out clears lines for Believer’s to walk on in their journey in this life. When those lines becomes blurred we should address them with scripture. In the end we are held accountable unto God for allowing our brethren to stray and not return back unto sound teaching. Ezekiel 33:8 (NKJV), When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Shalom…

The Misconception of the “Christian” celebrity.

Luke 4:5-8, “The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. So if you worship me, it will all be yours.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.”

I have heard many times when a man or woman makes it big in movies or the music industry that it is a true blessing from God, that the Lord looked upon an individual and gave them the fruits of this world. In some cases this is true, but in the majority it is a deceitful work of Satan. Many of the celebrities that we see on t.v. or in movies are actually pursuing the “god,” of this world in the attempt to achieve money, fame and the recognition the world, as being the greatest in His or Hers genre. What many people do not know is the high price one must pay in order to gain such recognition, which is in fact the worship of Satan himself. The sad truth is that the entire world is not Christian, and in fact follow false gods and follow strange paths to enlightenment other than Christ in order to be redeemed. In effect people must compromise the way that they feel in order to be accepted by such a diverse audience, including their belief that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation (John 3:16.) The actual true religion of the most celebrities in Hollywood, is that of Satanism either believing that directly or indirectly by placing their Faith in Scientology, Kabbalah or Eastern Mysticism as their alternate belief system for redemption. This is the reason why many Celebrities who first profess Jesus, after awhile of achieving success you hardly recognize them because they have accepted false god worship over the true God of the Christian Bible. The reason for this is that only moderate notoriety is granted for those whos profess Christ openly, you may get a role on a t.v. show but in order to get the big budget summer blockbuster you have to sell out, this is due to the fact that God will not abide with the believer in the midst of such demonic worship, Exodus 34:12-14 states “Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee: But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.” So in return in order to advance ones career they open themselves up to false god worship, in order to get to that next level, also involving themselves in drug addicttion such as marijuana, prescription medication and cocaine. These drugs open ones mind up to the influence of demonic spirits, which is why many music artist in order to record a hit record needs to be intoxicated in order to be, “creative.” Pray for all those who are lifted up as celebrities that the God of the Bible will keep them from such Satanic influence. As well as for the Youth who look up to them as role models, who may not be seeing talent but in return demonic possession. Shalom…

The Sons of Noah, The Father’s of the modern world…

Genesis 6:18,”But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee.

Being a follower of Christ, I really love to investigate the little know facts of the Holy Bible! One topic that I rarely hear anyone apeak of is how the world was repopulated after the flood of Genesis 7:10. At this particular time in Human history, Noah and His family were the Human Beings that had not fornicated with the Fallen Angels of Genesis 6 to create the Nephilim Giants. This made Noah “Perfect in His Generations,” in the eyes of God and the perfect Human specimen to repopulate the Earth. After the waters receded and the Ark settled onto Mount Ararat, the Sons of Noah went out to begin Humanity once again. The three sons of Noah were Japheth, Ham and Shem. The sons of Japheth (Ashkenaz, Scythians, Riphath, Togarmah, Magog, Madai, Javan, Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, Dodanim) are largely believed to have the originator’s of the European people as well as Asians. This is based off of Genesis 10:5, which reads “By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations,” the “Isles of the Gentiles are believed to be the British and Greek isles of today. The sons of Ham were (Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan, and the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.) The descendents of Cush are believed to be the African nations of the world, being referred to throughout the Bible as the inhabitants of East Africa. The third son Shem bore his own lineage (Elam, and Asshur, Arpachshad and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram. And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber) believed to have started the Arab, Aramaeans, Assyrians, Babylonians, Chaldeans, Sabaeans, Hebrew people. These are the beginning generations of the modern world, all different in many ways but unified in one Humanity with different cultures. Most importantly though, the belief in the one true God! Shalom…

God (YAH) works in mysterious ways…

25 May

6836437

Judges 9:23 (NKJV), “God sent a spirit of ill will between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech.”

Many may find it hard in today’s society to see the hand of God working throughout the Earth, bringing about His will and sovereignty for His people. It may to some seem like their is no God or that the Lord has turned His back on the people who truly love Him. This is just the contrary once we read and begin to understand the scriptures of the Holy Bible.

First and foremost let me say that God is omnipresent in all things going on in the Earth today. The problem that many believer’s have is that we are sometimes fed feel good stories that God only does good things and if things are going wrong we have failed to bring about His will on the Earth. But the Lord is not always bringing love, peace and happiness to the Earth as we know it. The Lord still has a will and a agenda in which to fulfill His plan and bring it to past. This “Earth Age,” in which we live in is slowly but surely coming to and end just as prophesied in the book of Revelation and countless other books of the Bible.

God is at work in the good and the bad. To those God loves He blesses but also to those He disciplines indirectly through different types of evil and good spirits. As in Judges 9: 23, Abimelech who after ruling over Israel for sometime desired evil among the people and God sent evil His way resulting in a revolt of the men of Shechem. The same is happening today in a world turning more and more unto their own ways and rebelling against The Most High, more and more evil is polluting our world.

This evil will eventually result in the rise of the One World Government, and the Antichrist which God has already predestined will happen in the end time. This evil is foretold in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 (NKJV), “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”

As well as 2 Timothy 4:3, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers.” God knows of this evil, and it is His will for it to come to pass in the Earth. Satan and His Fallen Angels are only tools being used to bring about what was already foretold. It is important to see the Lord in everything not just the good but also the bad, staying prayerful and warning those who do not believe (in love) that Jesus Christ is the only way and returning soon! Shalom….

YHVH the sacred Hebrew name for God…

1 May

2616135

Exodus 3:14, And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

When Jehovah God commissined Moses as His messenger unto the children of Israel, that they were to be set free from the slavery of Egypt. Moses replied, “And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?” The Lord responded “I AM THAT I AM,” meaning I am what I will be, and I AM everything! This statement from God translates back into the Hebrew as the tetragrammaton (a word with four letters) as YHVH. YHVH pronounced YAH Hoveh, was later deemed too sacred to be uttered by the imperfect man, is a descriptive word of all that what God truly is unto His children who love Him. God is a deliverer as read in the book of Genesis, He is all powerful (Genesis 17:1), God is knowledge (Job 38:39), Eternal (2 Peter 3:8) Holy (Isaiah 6:1-3) and a healer (Exodus 15:26). Anything that you need as a believer is totally within your grasps as long as your Faith is properly placed in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour. Simply ask YHVH in the name of Jesus Christ for more of His divine nature and to open your eyes to His will for your life, and simply believe that HE IS, I AM. Shalom…

The Second Coming of the Glorified Christ…

25 Apr

Revelation 1:14-18, “His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”

There is no description in the Holy Bible, (Old Testament or New) that describes just what exactly the Lord Jesus Christ looked like, when He walked the Earth as Man during His Earthly Ministry. The Book of Revelations does however give Us a glimpse, of How The Christ will look like in His second coming at the end of the Church Age. Revelation 1:14-18, describes His head and hair, “white like wool,”(Representing His Majesty and Authority) and having the eyes of “flame of fire,” ( which represents penetrating scrutiny and fierce judgment.) The Second Coming of Jesus Christ will be of Judgement. A Blessing for all who have believed in the finished work that He accomplished at the Cross in the years past. This Coming unlike the First as the Lamb, will be as a lion to finally do away with Satan, and His Fallen Angels and those who follow Him in acts of sin. “And His feet like unto fine brass,” (signifies the Humanity of Jesus although glorified now) and having the voice of “many waters,” (the voice of power.) The Lord will return with all Glory and power that He arose with 2,ooo years ago to pass Judgement, and usher in the New Kingdom Age. John the Revelator fell at the feet of Jesus “as if dead,” due to the authority at which the very presence will have comforting those who have waited so long to be in His presence. Signifying to those who never Believed that Jesus Christ is Lord! We find that comfort in verse 18, which states “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” Christ is stating here that He lives, and will never die again and brings with Him also life. Though He was dead, entered into death (Our death) and finished the sacrifice for all sin and was risen by God and death now is totally defeated! Through Faith in the work of the Cross we entered into this death Spiritually and can now also be alive just as Jesus now is. (Romans 6:3-5) Jesus now has the keys to Hell and Death, and the right now to pass Judgement on all who still carry sin and the separation from God. I pray that all will do their part to spread the Good News of the Cross of Christ to all, Who have ears to hear the Gospel of Christ and Eternal Life…Shalom.

Evolution Theory

21 Apr

5384437

Genesis 2:7, And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Evolution Theory is the scientific belief of the origin of Man and all life as we know it on the Earth today. Evolutionary thought began around the 6th Century with a Greek philosopher named Anaximander, but really did not take flight as a genuine belief until the 19th century with Charles Darwin. Darwin rationalized that all life forms (human, animal, plant) originated from the same common source. With the “Big Bang,” that some Scientist believe created the universe in its entirety. Life began on Earth as prokaryotes organisms, which inhabited the planet 3-4 billion years ago, eventually morphing into eukaryotes, then endosymbiosis, to mitochondria then to plants, arthopods, insects to amphibians to mammals and now Humans. To many unbelievers living in the flesh, this idea seems plausible but to the elect of God this belief robs Elohim of all His creative ability which Satan has always been trying to do according to John 10:10, The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Also many things just do not add up. Even with the fact, that much of the Scientific community still have alot of uncertainty as to if this theory really did occur. While all life can be traced back to a single source, with many believing that complex life came from simple life forms, this is not the case with Human Life. According to the publication “Science,” (See MUFON UFO Journal, May 2001, pg. 11) the Human Genome has 223 genes that are not related to any other known life form on the planet, not even chimps as some speculate that we descended from. These very distinct 223 genes are what separate us and makes Human Beings distinct from animals, plants or insects. With no rational conclusion on how Mankind “acquired,” these specific genes leaves only the rational decision that they Humans were created. When many try to understand and prove the existence of a Spiritual God, with and natural mind this is what many come up with, a question mark! If any truly want to understand the existence of Our being, we only have to look to His perfect word, The Holy Bible. Shalom.

There is No! Sinless Perfection in the Flesh…

12 Apr

5277751

Romans 7:21-25, “I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.”

Many Christian Believers (and Non-Christian) operate under the belief that a born again Disciple of Christ should be perfect, Holy and sinless upon the acceptance of the Lord in Our life. This one of the biggest misconceptions about the Christian Faith, that causes many to be critical of the Cross and the finished work of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul the Author of the book of Romans still struggled after His conversion to Christianity, even after being Spirit filled and having seen the Resurected Christ on His way to Damascus (Romans 9.) In actuality the sin nature of man is only made dormant upon being Baptized by the Spirit into Jesus Christ. The Bible reads in Romans 6:12-14, “Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. In verse 14, the word dominion (which means rulership) says that sin will no longer control You as it did before, as every though that we had before the Blood of Christ was of iniquity (Romans 7:18.) The Word of God actually says none will be made perfect until the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ as recorded in Philippians 3:21. Being that the flesh is carnal and cannot inherit the Kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 15:50.) This is why The Cross of Christ is so important, even though we inhabit and sinful existence The Blood of Jesus places all who Believe under the Grace of God. That when we do fall at times, we repent and turn from The Sin laying dormant in Our Spirit. This why the Apostle says that after the Cross in Romans 8: 1-4,”There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Christ makes all who are not perfect, perfect based on Our Faith in His finished work on the Cross. The Grace of God however, is not a license to sin knowing that we are not condemned for it, but a reminder that even though we are Saved we are ever so in need of a Savior, and should always look to The Word of God so that we do not fall back and live in the sin that Jesus has freed Us from. So when We in Our own lives, do not sometimes live up to the high standard of Holiness, know that many Believers still sin and as long as we learn from the trials of life Our Faith in a perfect God grants us grace to overcome. Shalom…
