Isaiah 61:1-3

In our previous Lesson, “What is truth?”, we learned how to evaluate and validate truth claims. Then we tested ourselves against a number of truth claims.

Shall we now use all our advantages under the unction of The Holy Spirit, “Christ in (us), the hope of glory” [Colossians 1:27], to examine and test the truth of any doctrine heralded from The Pulpit, or, even in the Marketplace? 

Shall we test ourselves on how well we can do, using all our advantages?

Treason and Sabotage = German Defeat in WWII

by Harald Zieger

Scripture Reading: 2nd Corinthians Chapter 10:4-6

As in Normandy in 1944, there was also well-organized betrayal and systematic sabotage by high-ranking German officers on the Eastern Front. In the first volume of VERRAT AN DER OSTFRONT, Friedrich Georg outlines why the final victory was not secured. Did the individual acts of sabotage contribute significantly to the German defeat in 1945? Who were these people who spared nothing in their power and region of influence to destroy the National Socialist Movement to re-install the so-called Democracy of the Weimar Republic, the den of iniquity and decay, out of which Hitler and the NSDAP had restored a cultural and racist clean country?

“Infallible Proofs”

by Walter Giddings

(John 18). How do we know that something, or someone, is true? [Repeat] Who, here, has never been tricked? It would be fair to warn you. This is a trick Question. Centuries of Philosophers have wrestled with the nature of truth, reality and perception. Reading much of it is a special kind of torture. This is especially true when philosophers dive into the nature of Adamic perception. What say you? (John 18:37-38). The age-old Question, “What is truth?”, appears here!

Scripture Reading:  1 Samuel 12:10:

10) “And they [Israelites] cried unto the LORD, and said, We [Israelites] have sinned, because we [Israelites] have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us [Israelites] out of the hand of our [Israelite] enemies [Hazor, Philistines, and Moab], and we [Israelites] will serve thee [LORD God of Israel].”

Who were the gods, Baal and Ashtaroth, that our ancient fathers worshipped?  Are these the same gods that are worshipped today? Will the prayer be repeated by ancient Israel’s children?

Baal: Worshipped in ancient Palestine and recognized as local deities of specific regions who were believed to control fertility, rain, and crops. Holidays celebrated with this god included Halloween, Lent, and Christmas.

Ashtaroth: Astaroth or Astarte or Ishtar is a corrupted derivative of the Canaanite/Phoenician goddess of love and fertility. She was known as the “Queen of Heaven.” Holidays celebrated with this goddess included Easter.

This sermon is my view on which holidays or holy days are truly not Christian and why. It is my opinion and is not meant to cause anyone to be offended. It is not personal, it is factual. But it is one of the most difficult subjects to approach a family member or a close friend on. And one must approach them on this subject, if you don’t want to participate in all the activities around Christmas and Easter.

GERMANY LOST WW II ON MAY 9th,1941 WHY?  BECAUSE OF U-110 

Two ships of convoy O.B. 318, which was being escorted by the 3rd Escort Group, were torpedoed in position 60 20 N 33 40 W. from a position between Broadway and Aubretia. 

Both ships were in contact almost immediately and attacked the German U-boat, Broadway at 1208, Aubretia shortly afterward.  Bulldog was also in contact, and I could see that Aubretia's attack was effective. Bulldog had moved over to join in the hunt.

SCRIPTURE READING: Hebrews 8:1-8, RSV

A question for Christians often comes up, are we under law or under grace? Or both? There are those who believe we must keep the sabbaths and feasts today that Israel kept many centuries ago. For example, take the seven great religious festivals as found in Leviticus chapter 23: Passover, feast of unleavened bread, feast of firstfruits, feast of Pentecost, feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles,—all typical of Christ. Here is an overview of the feasts and some of their prophetic meanings

These parts of the law are of interest to study, but they are not required as a condition for our redemption in Christ.

The Two Different Nations

Scripture Reading  Deuteronomy 23:19, 20:

Is our God blessing us? Do our banks, which are mainly owned by foreigners, charge us usury/interest? We are not being blessed by the God of the Bible but are being cursed as we are slaves to our billionaire masters who charge us usury.

In the year 2000, there were nine countries without a Rothschild-owned or controlled central bank. In the year 2007, U.S. Army General and former NATO commander Wesley Clark, tells how he was given information about a classified military plan to “take out” seven countries in five years. 

The former commander of NATO’s forces claims that the Bush Administration was planning to attack (1) Iraq followed by action against (2) Syria, (3) Lebanon, (4) Libya, (5) Iran, (6) Somalia, and (7) Sudan. The general’s allegations surfaced in his book, The Clark Critique.

“The same yesterday, and today, and forever”

In prior Lessons we have explored the unfortunate Fact that Sheep give Stupid a new Name! Facts are stubborn things! And “stubborn” means we are born to stub our toes! We are counselled in James 5:12, “confess your faults one to another”, and in 2 Corinthians 12:10, “… take pleasure in infirmities”! In free confession before this local Body of Christ, I cannot recall in my eighties if I have ever taken pleasure in stubbing my toes!  It is such a Rude Reminder of my helpless mortality!

Therefore, this Lesson incorporates some precautionary provisions to help Sheep with Sheep avoid giving Stupidity a new name. This is more than cautionary.  This is precautionary. This is a major Statute of Bible Study in the form of a precautionary Question:  “Is this a doctrine of God, or a doctrine of man?!! 

The Davidic Covenant

by Rev. Jim Jester

SCRIPTURE READING: Luke 1:32-33

The title of this psalm is “A Contemplation of Ethan the Ezrahite.” There are several men named Ethan in the Scriptures, but this man is mentioned specifically in 1 Kings 4:31 as someone who was famous for his wisdom, but surpassed by Solomon’s greater wisdom. Ethan is probably identical with Jeduthun, who founded one of the three choirs authorized by King David.

The prime idea around Psalm 89 is the Davidic Covenant. The Davidic Covenant guarantees the existence of David’s family throughout history and brings into view the ultimate kingship of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is unbelievable how most theologians today make little comment or study of this covenant. Most systematic theology books used in Bible colleges and seminaries make no mention of it. It is almost as if the Davidic Covenant had no place in the Word of God. Is there no interest in the concept of covenant; or worse, is the whole idea being purposely ignored by a majority of theologians? And why? Is it because a serious interest in this topic will lead them to discover their identity as Israelites? I would say so.
