Scripture Reading:  Mt. 6:30-34

The psychology of identity denial is a preemption to Holocaust denial for those who deny Christ.  In other words, it never ceases to amaze me how far the enemy can push the envelope, to expand upon the insignificance of trivia, in lieu of the most important truths to turn this world around.  It is not only the polar opposites of racial integrity vs. mongrelization, but a juxtaposition of priorities.  What did Jesus say the priority was?  What is the first thing we should seek?  Is it the proper spelling and pronunciation of a smorgasbord of sacred names?  Is it deciding who or what is ultimately culpable for individual and national sins?  Is it how wet or dry we baptize?  Do any of these things have anything to do with our following Jesus' commands that will establish whether or not we are a Christian and whether it is possible or impossible for the Christian who obeys the command to save their nation?  Jesus said, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness” Mt. 6:33.  What exactly is the Kingdom?  It is basically four things: people, land, laws and a king.  One thing we know for sure is that “The Kingdom from Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force” Mt. 11:12.  I mention the Holocaust, because of the enormity of its propaganda and the influence it's had upon winning the hearts and minds of people.  When in fact, it is the greatest hoax of the 20th century compared to the very real slaughter of ten times the “6 million” and the astounding thing about it is that the perpetrators were jewish and the victims were White Christians.  I speak, of course, of the Bolshevik red terror upon Russia.  Let me quote the celebrated Pulitzer recipient and Russian dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: “We cannot state that all Jews are Bolsheviks.  But, without Jews there never would have been Bolshevism.  For a Jew nothing is more insulting that the truth.  The blood maddened Jewish terrorists had murdered 66 million in Russia from 1918 to 1957.”

Scripture Reading: Luke 1:1-4

Introduction

Sometimes I go back and look at the old New Covenant Messengers and read articles that were written years ago.  I did so last Saturday morning and immediately found three articles.  I turned right to them.  It was three articles written by our own Dan and Cory.  It is in NCM #26.

The third article, written by Cory, was very interesting.  It told of the origin of Valentine’s Day.  Valentine was the Roman Catholic priest who defied the Emperor’s order to ban marriages; and as a result married many couples.  The Roman Catholic Church merged the worship of Lupercalia and the death of the priest Valentine.  Lupercalia was the she-wolf that nursed Romulus and Remus when they were orphaned.  The two boys grew up and are credited with the founding of Rome.

In her second article, Cory said the following about why they were home schooling:

“As I said, that was seven or eight years ago and now our oldest [Hannah] is doing sixth and seventh grade work, our second daughter [Katie] is in third grade, our third daughter [Rebecca] is in second grade and we’re going to be starting kindergarten with our fourth daughter [Emily] in the fall  Not to leave any one out, God has also given us a son [Abel] who will be two this month.”

That means that the NCM that I was reading was about 18 years old!  My, how time flies.

But the first article that I saw was the article written by Dan titled:  “Listen!  When A Dumb Man Speaks.”  It was an article that dealt with a favorite portion of scripture for Dan:  Luke, Chapter One.  I thought, “What a fine article.  It needs to be done again so our people don’t forget what happened.”

The Addressee

Do you know who Luke wrote the book of Luke to; and not just this book but his next:  the book of Acts?  Theophilus.  Who was he?  All we know for sure is that he was a man “instructed” in the life of Christ.   That is all.

I liked how Dan started out his article:  “Several times in the Bible, God used strange or unusual events to precede the delivery of an important truth or prophecy.”  Dan gave examples of what happened in several Bible stories:  the talking mule; the hungry lions that did not eat Daniel; and the fish that swallowed Jonah.  These events certainly set the stage for what was coming.  But what Dan was alleging was the strange or unusual event that preceded the birth of our Savior.  It was the birth of another Isaac!

Scripure Reading: Daniel 4:28-33

Last Sunday, after I gave Part 1 and we had our usual questions and comments, Pastor Elmore said, “I think God is making them [meaning the antichrist adversaries] say and do stupid things.”  I got to thinking about how really profound that is, after all, they think of themselves as being smarter than God.  The talmud states, “God must submit to the decisions of a majority vote of the rabbis” - BT Bava Metzia 59b.  In Baba Mezia 59b, a rabbi debates God and wins by trickery; God then admits the rabbi won the debate.  And did you know that God studies the rabbinical sayings of the talmud three times a day?  It says so in their talmud (Avodah Zarah 3B).  With jews being a combination of mongrel blood and professional perjurers (in other words, lie for filthy lucre as a religious practice), is it any wonder that the stupidity they exhibit is above and beyond normal standards of sanity.  They are so damn crazy that some people take them seriously; like they're God's chosen people.  But, from the three witnesses I have cited, jews regard God as some kind of subservient pet that is at their beck and call; God, to the jew, is a dog that responds to the ringing of Pavlov's bell.  But, does our Bible tell us, “God is not mocked”?

Scripture Reading:  Matthew 5:11-12

If you're an Identity Christian old enough to remember the “right wing extremist” musician Carl Klang, he had a song called, 'It's Dangerous To Be Right, When The Government Is Wrong.”  If you're really old, you probably remember who Carl got his title from; Voltaire is reputed to have said, “It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.”  Some versions say “established men.”  Any viewpoint that questions, contradicts or opposes the views maintained and propagated by those who have established themselves as the ruling power are perceived as a threat to their authority and if left unchecked, the prevailing belief of society will replace it with something else.  Sometimes this process takes centuries and other times, the established law and order takes drastic measures to silence the opposition in short order.  Many times it turns into all out war.  In more recent times, armed conflicts are contrived, what is called a false flag operation.  Orwell observed that, “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”  Those who are so bold to expose corruption, blow the whistle to turn our attention to the evil doers.  History has enough examples of rulers taking extreme measures by killing people with persuasive new ideas or rekindling old ideas that have a ring of goodness to them or just make common sense.  Just ask Galileo.

Covenant Heritage Series - Book Four

Lawrence Blanchard

God’s Covenant Creation (Book Four) is a comprehensive commentary of Genesis 1-11 addressing some of the most critical stories and subject matters of the Bible. Understanding what Genesis 1-11 says and what it means determines your perspective and scope of the Bible and life itself.

Unlike any other book, Genesis 1-11 is approached from the context of Genesis 12 through Revelation as determined in Books One through Three of the Covenant Heritage Series. Thus, Book Four is not a stand-alone treatment of Genesis 1-11, but is most accurately understood from the broader context of the rest of the Bible.

God’s Covenant Creation challenges the majority opinion in almost every aspect and conclusion of the meaning of Genesis 1-11, particularly the creation story (Genesis 1), the Flood (Genesis 6-8), and the Tower of Babel event (Genesis 11). This book also challenges the meaning of the word “nations” used in Genesis 10 which is typically assumed by Catholics and Protestants alike to be inclusive of all “human beings” on the planet.

God’s Covenant Creation demonstrates the consistency in understanding what Genesis 1-11 says and means in the context of the rest of the Bible. What Genesis 1-11 says and what it means determines your perspective and scope of the Bible and life itself.

Scripture Reading: Revelation 22:14

There are three questions that could immediately be asked about today's scripture:

by Pastor Mark Downey

A plethora of current events proving the righteousness of God's Word / Law.

Part 1:  The adversarial effects of money, murder and media on the health of modern Israelites.

Part 2:  Understanding how stupidity can be dangerous; how the government and media give us the wrong picture of ISIS and the geo-politics of the Middle East; the revelation of Janissaries.

Part 3: Denial of things unchristian is wrought with repercussions from those who deny the government of Christ, otherwise known as the Kingdom of God.  The Word of God is common sense, but has been made absurd by the authors of confusion.  Clarifying what is and is not a false prophet.

Part 4:  Jesus is the reason for being right and He is our example in how to face tribulation when our adversaries are horribly wrong.  The parable of the sower is talking about having the right stuff for glory and victory.

Scripture Reading:  Revelation 5:8-10:

Each of the four beasts and twenty-four elders who fell down before the Lamb had a harp.  That would be 28 harps that were played as they sang their new song.  In Revelation 14:2 there implies that there were 144,000 harps and in Revelation 15:2 an innumerable number of harps in heaven.  If God allows this many harps in heaven then it should not be considered unheavenly to have musical instruments in churches. 

This heavenly “choir” sang a new song about their Redeemer; but there is also a “good and evil” part about music.   The genealogy of Cain is given in the fourth chapter of Genesis; with Cain, Enoch, Lamech, Jubal; the great-grandson of Cain; who was “the father [inventor and teacher of musical instruments] of all such as handle the harp and organ” (Genesis 4:21).

God Bless America

So, there are two kinds of music:  good and evil.  Which is which?  The first song that we will look at is the song which many people are in favor of making it our new national anthem, replacing “Star Spangled Banner;” which many people feel is hard to sing.  The song is “God Bless America.” 

It was first sung on November 11, 1938 by Kate Smith.  November 11th was the day that World War I ended; and was sung as part of the memory of this day.  The song was first written in 1918 but was never used. 

As America and the world approached the Second World War, a song was needed to help patriotism in the nation.  Many singers looked for a new song.  The song that was chosen was not used 20 years earlier but was brought back out of the song writer’s casted away songs; and with a few changed words was revamped.  For example, the words “To the right” was changed “Thru the night.” 

The Wake-up Herald

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. Romans 13:11-14

Scripture Reading: Ephesians 2:14-15

14) “For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

15) Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace;….”

Brief Comment on the Vaccine Controversy

I feel that I need to bring this controversy up as the media has been just slamming everyone who did not vaccinate either themselves or their children; many calling them “conspiracy” advocates.  Even Bill Cunningham, the Catholic local radio host argued for it.  NBC news all agreed; with their medical specialist correspondent, Nancy Snyderman lambasting the anti-vaccine people, calling them “stupid.”   Of course she is in trouble because she left the Ebola quarantine area and may lose her job.  Do you think that this is why she spoke so strongly against the unvaccinated?

While the media continues to spew emotionally charged tirades about how the anti-vaccination “movement” allegedly triggered the recent measles outbreak that health authorities believe started at Disneyland, actual science suggests that the most likely cause of this insanely overblown outbreak was a person who was recently vaccinated.

Numerous published studies reveal how live-virus vaccines like MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) actually shed these diseases for many weeks or even months following vaccination, potentially infecting others, both vaccinated and unvaccinated. This means that any child who was recently given an MMR vaccine is a walking disease-spreader, a truth that the media is refusing to report as even just a possibility in this case.

The fact that vaccinated individuals can and do carry around contagious measles for many weeks while displaying no symptoms of the disease suggests that this latest outbreak might just be another example of a vaccine-strain outbreak. While a handful of the roughly 100 measles cases identified so far have tested out as wild genotype B3 measles, according to the latest reports, the original source of the outbreak has yet to be identified.
