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: John 21:15-17

A hummingbird does not eat hamburgers.  A cow does not eat hamburgers; if it does, it becomes a mad cow.  Cannibals eat other cannibals.  Wolves eat sheep; that’s what they do.  From our Scripture reading today, would you eat what Peter had to feed you?  This is not going to be a sermon on the dietary laws per se, but rather how the dietary laws are an allegory for what we are.  Last week we were asked what our responsibilities are.  I don’t think that question can be answered unless we know who and what we are.  When I ask you, “What are you?” I am asking you in reference to the dietary laws.  Are you clean or unclean?  Jesus said we are sheep.  Are sheep clean?  Yes, they are.  Are wolves clean?  No, they are not.  Are you a wolf or a sheep?  This sermon is dedicated to the lost sheep of Israel.

The vital aspects of consumption for both spiritual and physical will determine whether you are clean or unclean.

Part 1: A look into the dietary laws of Deuteronomy and Leviticus and how the clean and unclean leads to an understanding of how to discern righteous and unrighteous beliefs.

Part 2: The story of Peter and Cornelius; how Ezekiel explains idols of the heart; the occult presumption of authority

Scripture Reading: Revelation 20:1-9

The first fourteen verses of the 26th Chapter of Isaiah Sets forth the triumph of the Kingdom and the destruction of the enemies of the Kingdom. In the 13th and 14th verses Isaiah referred to lords who had ruled over God's people in the past, stating in the 14th verse that they were now deceased that they would never live again. We say that the expression, '''they are deceased,'' is ''they are Rephaim. '' Attention was called to the fact that Rephaim referred to shades, fearful ones! Ghosts etc.

Thus the Rephaim were the disembodied spirits of the offspring of the angels who begat children by taking the daughters of men for wives. As a result of these forbidden marriages, we found that added to the sensual and carnal- the result of the temptation and fall-was now added highly-increased discernment and understanding but wholly devoid of spiritual direction. This enhanced the violent and power of those who exercised control over the population, the lords who ruled over them.

Because of the rule of the antediluvian giants, the earth became corrupt, meaning genetically mixed and degraded and filled with violence, necessitating its destruction by the waters of the Floods so that the offspring of all genetically mixed plants, animals, Adamites and fallen angels might be destroyed and the rule exercised by the angels themselves brought to an end.

Scripture Reading: I Kings 12:21-24

About a month ago there were reports that the United States military was relocating men and equipment from low lying ground on the eastern seaboard inland to higher ground.  It was foolishly speculated this was for fear Russia was about to set off undersea nuclear explosions to generate tsunamis.  But now it is obvious that the military obviously had advanced knowledge of Hurricane Sandy. 

A week ago there were images showing serious HAARP activity over the eastern states.  It is the fulfillment of an imaginary storm in 1997 that was exactly the same as the one in 2012!  The first storm was named “Sandy;” the same as the second.  What is interesting about this weather event is that if “Sandy” was not intentionally generated by HAARP why was HAARP not deployed to calm or steer the hurricane to sea preventing landfall? 

Secondly, a week and a half ago Donald Trump made a $5 million offer to Barack Obama that was ignored by the press and just about everyone else.  The request that Donald Trump made to Barack Obama—that he would write a check for $5 million to any charity of his choice in exchange for his releasing the transcripts and documents from all the places that he attended school and for his passport application.  Barbara Walters made a pitiful appeal to Donald when he was on the show, “The View”, as well as all of the television and radio commentators with a few exceptions.  Barbara said to Mr. Trump that she loved him but he was making a fool out of himself?  Why?
