The Future of Prophecy Part 9

A debunking of the two false schools of eschatology, i.e. futurism and especially the encroaching misinterpretations of preterism.  We examine the historical antichrists of whom there are many.

Scripture Reading: I John 2:18-26

The average Christian of whatever stripe may wonder how there can be so many interpretations of prophecy.  They can't all be right.  Bible prophecy is the business of predicting the future, sometimes literal and sometimes in figures of speech, and is usually not established until it happens.  Its fulfillment must conform to the elements of the prediction.  A controversy emerges between several schools of eschatology, the study of end time prophecies.  The three major positions are the historicist, the futurist and the preterist.  For our purposes in identifying the truth, the historicist position has been the most widely accepted and accurate means of understanding prophecy in Christian Identity.  Likewise, before the Protestant Reformation, there was no other position than the historicist; as the name implies, it explains God's Word in sacred and secular history, both of which is His Story and proves God is true. The Protestant Reformers understood correctly, events that had come to pass fulfilling the veracity of Scripture. On the other hand, the futurists disregard the past and place the works of God in the distant future.  And then along came the preterists to say all prophecy has come and gone.  The Reformation was a great threat to the RCC and both factions were a danger to jews.  So the jews created an opposition to the historicist view within the church, both Protestant and catholic.  We will see how they spread their confusion, and know them today by their rotten fruit of false interpretations.  The righteousness of prophecy can only be ascertained by identifying the right people in the right time frame of divine prediction.  False prophets have thus rejected God's plan and purposes.

Get Off the Fence

by Pastor Brian Jones

March 27, 2016

Scripture Reading: Psalms 2:1-6

God's Way versus the world's way.  God chose the elect of Israel and that is why we are different.  Love not the world.  The world will try to pull you into its sin, including pulling you away from God's law and His covenant and rejoices when even one person falls away from the covenant.  Get off the fence and quit wrestling with God.  Your body is a temple to God and it is NOT yours!  Read the Bible and examine yourselves.  Truth only works if you accept it.  Grow in God.  Open your Bible, read it and KNOW it.  God knows that you will stumble, but He will correct you.  Ensure that you are clothed in white because the wedding garment is a sign of purity and is CRITICAL to God.   White is the ONLY acceptable color of the wedding garment.  God did not divorce the world, but only the 10 Tribes of the House of Israel.  God will remarry ONLY the Covenant people.

Passover

By Pastor Don Elmore

March 27, 2016

Passover was a special time for the special people known as the covenant people of God.  They were the ones, the ONLY ones, who experienced the first Passover.  Their time in Egypt was expressed in the covenant that God made with their father, Abram and later Abraham.

Scripture Reading: Psalm 83:1-6a

Psalm 83 lists 10 nations as the enemy of the Covenant people of God and those enemies now reside in the modern day countries of Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Sudan, Morocco, Tunisia, etc., and the pseudo-nation of Palestine --IsraeLie.  And people from these countries live in practically all countries of the earth in this multi-cultural world we now live in.  To put it into modern language, the Jew is the head of this Confederation.

The Establishment

Sermon notes of Pastor Mark Downey

March 13, 2016

Scripture Reading: II Thessalonians 2:1-4

I've been writing about “The Establishment” for decades and decided to dedicate a sermon, not to the Establishment, but to the establishment of the Truth.  There is a lot of fanfare and talk of the Establishment in this election year, 2016.  Ever wonder why they call it the Establishment?  Do Christians really yearn for the establishment of the Kingdom of God?  Who or what is the Establishment in the United States?  Well, if we were to synthesize the divine dialectic, the Establishment is not the Kingdom or vice versa.  The antithesis of God's Kingdom is often cited as Babylon.  The Establishment is a hive of secret societies that have connections to the mystery religions and they want the world.  Any Christian worth their salt should know that in prophecy, the Establishment is known as Mystery Babylon.  Well, that was pretty easy to connect those two dots, but what and why is the Establishment doing what they do?  Where and when did this Establishment rear its ugly head in America?  How did they establish themselves as the Establishment?  I'll tell you something: nothing can succeed politically without a spiritual resolve, and by that I don't necessarily mean something good. It can be an evil spirit, a corruption of the soul that becomes the Establishment.  The soul of our nation has become corrupt, because of the Establishment.

Scripture Reading: Matthew 2:16

What time was it that Herod had diligently enquired of the wise men?  King Herod was an Edomite, not an Israelite.  He would be known as a Sephardic Jew in today’s world.  He questioned the wise men very thoroughly to find out when the future king was born, so he knew at what age his murderous rage would occur.  The evil king murdered every child that was under the age of 2 years old in about a 10 mile radius!  Why would he murder children under the age of 2 years old if Jesus was a new born infant?  In verse 11 it says that the wise men found the baby Jesus in a house, not a stable.  Does that mean anything?

Why would this Edomite/Jewish King get so upset about the birth of a young child?  Why would he attempt His murder when He was only 2 years old?  He wouldn’t be one that would challenge Herod’s rule for several decades, for He was too young.  And Herod died shortly after this incident, when Jesus was just an infant.  What a vicious hatred the Jews had for the birth of Israel’s king! 

But we live in a different time period.  Our government is similar to the government that was in Judah over 2000 years ago.  Edomite/Jews controlled the kingship, the Pharisees, and the judicial courts.  But ours is sort of like the “Wizard of Oz.”  It is based on deception.  The wizard ruled behind the curtain.  No one knew who he was--he just gave out his instructions over a loud speaker.  Everyone just obeyed his instructions, until the day that he was finally exposed.

That’s the way our government now operates.  There is a “wizard” behind the curtain that tells the elected officials what they are to do and say.  Once one figures that out, they are on their way to understanding what they have to do to save their country from total disaster.  They have to expose the person(s) who is/are giving the instructions, but is behind the curtain. 

War on Women

War on Women

Putting women into harm’s way is not a victory for women’s rights, but an example of misguided ideology trumping good sense.  America’s leaders are trying to convince us that we cannot win our wars without our wives, mothers, and daughters on the front lines. They see that as a sign of the nation’s progressiveness.  The military is the most respected institution in America. It possesses some of the finest, most dedicated and self-sacrificing individuals the nation has produced. But woe be unto us if we fail to recognize how its effectiveness is being fatally undermined by a failure to beat back the virulent forces of feminization that enfeeble our modern society.

A Judicial Conundrum

Sermon notes of Pastor Mark Downey

February 28, 2016

Scripture Reading: I Samuel 8:4-6

Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the Lord.” 

I mentioned recently, as well as being a common retort, that we live in exciting times (for both fearful and joyful people), but the pendulum also swings, for the rest of humanity, as a time of mediocrity and boredom.  What's the difference between excitement and boredom?  I think it's whether or not people judge things.  In other words, making a decision as to whether something is right or wrong.  Sometimes being a Christian can be extremely difficult.  Being a watchman on the wall can be like bamboo shoots growing through your fingernails.  It is painfully excruciating to watch what is happening to America; a generation without a moral compass.  Ancient Israel had guards who would stand upon the walls of Jerusalem and in the towers and look out upon the land.  What were they looking for?  Enemies!  They were guarding their city against opposing forces, invading aliens.  I've yet to see in the classifieds an ad in the 'employment opportunities' section that said: Need a blind, deaf and mute security guard i.e. sees no evil, hears no evil and speaks no evil.  To hire such people would be counter-productive to say the least.  This is how God evaluated Israel's watchmen in the days of Isaiah the prophet, “Israel's watchmen are blind, all of them, they know nothing; all of them are mute dogs, they cannot bark; they dream, lie down, and love to sleep. They are dogs with mighty appetites; they never have enough. They are shepherds who lack understanding; they all turn to their own way, they seek their own gain. Come, let me get some wine, let's guzzle some beer; and tomorrow will be like today, only far better!" Isaiah 56:10-12.  Do the presumptuous defenders of our faith and people understand what's happening today?  Unfortunately, they do not and we have reached a judicial conundrum.

Queen of Heaven

Scripture Reading:  Jeremiah 7:13-20

Last Sunday I had not even started on my message for this week.  I had one certain topic that I was considering, but when I saw an article in the newspaper, I was interested in what it said.  As I investigated, it got even more intriguing as I had never known about this situation at all.  I had no knowledge of this event that is one of the most celebrated events in the world.  It certainly opened my eyes and I hope that it opens yours if you have never heard about this subject.

As you read Jeremiah 7 you have to ask yourself this question:  What was it that provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger?  What were the descendants of the Kingdom of Judah doing that made Him so mad?  The children of God were worshipping the gods of the Canaanites, in particular the Queen of Heaven.

Who is the Queen of Heaven?  What peoples worshipped this Queen?  And if Israelites were guilty of this sin in their history, are they guilty of this sin today?  Do they worship the Queen of Heaven today?

The Assyrians did, the Babylonians did, the Canaanites did, the Syrians did, the Greeks did, and the Romans did; in fact, most of the world did and does today.  Let’s study some history!
