  • THE CLIENT NATIONS TO GOD AND THE DECEPTION OF THE 3PS; THE POLITICIANS, PRIESTS AND PROPHETS
    The client nations to God and the deception of the 3Ps; the politicians, priests and prophets.
    Wednesday, June 4, 2008
    Six Basic Principles the Lord has established which guarantee that the human race will never self-destruct and that mankind will live on this earth until the end of human history.
    a. The division of languages, GEN 11:6-8, after the tower of Babel.
    b. The principle of Nationalism.
    c. The concept of client nations to God.
    DEU 7:6 “For you are a holy people to the Lord your God [separated or set apart for God]; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.”
    A client nation is a national entity under the sponsorship of God, assigned the responsibility for the preservation, communication, and fulfillment of the canon of Scripture.
    There is one major reason that the Jewish clients did not continue and why Gentile client nations also have not continued, such as Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, England, and that is because Negative Volition to Bible doctrine always destroys a client nation to God.
    Many of these nations were destroyed because of not understanding the difference between Israel and the Church, the Doctrine of Dispensations, the Spiritual Life, and the Mystery Doctrine of the Church-age.
    In every case of Jewish apostasy in a Jewish client nation status both the clergy (prophets and priests), and the politicians of Israel are indicted along with the negative volition of the people.
    JER 20:9 But if I say, “I will not remember Him Or speak anymore in His name,” Then in my heart it becomes like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; And I am weary of holding {it} in, And I cannot endure {it.}
    REV 3:2 “Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain,”
    2TI 3:1-2 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money,
    1TI 6:10 For you see the love of money keeps on being a root of all sorts of evil through which [love for money] certain ones by intensively desiring it [money] have gone astray from doctrine and will pierce themselves with many types of pain.
    MIC 3:11 Their leaders [their judges] pronounce judgment [literally sell verdicts] for a bribe, Her priests instruct for a price [mass-market their teaching], And her prophets divine for money.
    MAT 10:8-10, “Heal {the} sick, raise {the} dead, cleanse {the} lepers, cast out demons; freely you received, freely give. Do not acquire gold, or silver, or copper for your money belts, or a bag for {your} journey, or even two tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is worthy of his support.”
    MIC 3:11 “Judges sell verdicts to the highest bidder, priests mass-market their teaching, prophets preach for high fees, All the while posturing and pretending dependence on GOD.”
    Academic dishonesty is called an abomination to the Lord.
    ACT 10:34 God is not one to show partiality,
    George Wilhelm Hegel - 1830 -
    “The only thing we learn from history is that people learn nothing from history.”
    The Lord God is saying in effect, “I’m dead set against prophets who substitute illusions for visions and use sermons to tell lies.”
    The wall refers to false sense of security promoted from the political lies of politicians to try to delude and deceive the people, and the prophets and the priests teaching false doctrine for personal gain.
    Whitewash refers to man’s solutions or the false solutions to the problems of life and the client nation by the 3P’s, the politicians, the priests, and the prophets.
    LEV 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.
    Keep it up USA with idolatry, which is worship or dedication and devotion to someone else, or something else, like materialism or money, which in DEU 7:25 is called an abomination to the Lord your God.
    Keep it up with role refusals, males acting and looking like females and females acting and looking like males, which in DEU 22:5 is also said to be an abomination to the Lord your God.
    Keep it up USA with injustices found in society and the judicial system, because in DEU 25:15-16, everyone who acts unjustly is an abomination to the Lord your God.
    Abominations according to the word of God:
    Murdering children, 2CH 28:3;
    Teaching false doctrine, 2CH 36:14;
    Atheism, PSA 14:1;
    Crookedness, PRO 3:32.
    Abomination - Hebrew word tow`ebah = something disgusting, something that is repugnant, something that is wicked.
    “When the flooding rains come and the hailstones crash down and the hurricane sweeps, the walls, [man’s solutions to man’s problems], will collapse.”
    The violent wind is a symbol of striving after vanity, ECC 1:14,
    and also refers to times of desperateness,
    JOB 6:26.
    The flooding rain and hailstones refer to the difficult times about to rain upon the nation.
    MAT 23:27 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs [hypocrites and phonies] which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.”
    EZE 22:28 “And her prophets have smeared whitewash for them, seeing false visions and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord has not spoken.”
    ACT 23:3 Then Paul said to him [Ananias, the High Priest], “God is going to strike you, you whitewashed wall! And do you sit to try me according to the Law, and in violation of the Law order me to be struck?”
    EZE 13:15-16 “I’ll level your nation to the ground so that only the foundation stones will be left. And, then you’ll realize then that I am GOD.”
    c. Client nations to God.
    What makes political solutions great is the invisible hero-ship of a pivot of mature believers.
    1PE 4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God;
    Political solutions are temporal; spiritual solutions are eternal.
    Political solutions relate to the power of man; spiritual solutions relate to the power of God.
    Political solutions are often erroneous and destructive to a nation, while spiritual solutions offer hope to a nation and eternal life to individuals in that nation.
    Political solutions are mortal and subject to corruption; spiritual solutions are eternal and compatible with the immortality of the soul.
    Political solutions grope in the darkness of spiritual death, but spiritual solutions live in the light of eternity and the fantastic divine revelation in time.
    Political solutions are related to the first birth of mankind and his spiritual death; spiritual solutions are related to regeneration through faith in Christ - the second birth of mankind and his eternal relationship with God.
    Spiritual solutions never include violence or coercion, but a change in the soul through Bible doctrine.
    In the New Testament we have the times of the Gentiles during the Church-age, only Gentile nations function as client nations to God, LUK 21:20-24.
    1PE 2:9 “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;”

  • PRINCIPLES THE LORD HAS ESTABLISHED WHICH GUARANTEE THAT THE HUMAN RACE WILL NOT SELF-DESTRUCT: LANG
    Principles the Lord has established which guarantee that the human race will not self-destruct: Languages and client nations.
    Friday, May 30, 2008
    Because man is a product of his own negative decisions, and you take those negative decisions to their logical conclusion, eventually, the Lord Jesus Christ intervenes with divine judgment.
    Six Basic Principles of Divine Preservation:
    a. The division of languages, GEN 11:6-8, after the tower of Babel.
    This was so the human race would not be confident in man or human power or human ability.
    The division of languages, created by God, is actually keeping the human race from arrogance and self-destruction.
    God in His grace is the One who created the different languages, not the wisdom of man.
    It is the epitome of arrogance to think that one race is greater than another.
    a. The division of languages, GEN 11:6-8.
    b. Nationalism.
    At any given time in history God has declared the boundaries of nations, DEU 32:8; ACT 17:18-26.
    DEU 32:8 “The Most High gave the nations their inheritance, He separated the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples.”
    God is the one who gave nations and therefore, in the biblical interpretation of history, we need to see the value of Nationalism not Internationalism, and that’s why organizations such as the United Nations are an evil organization under the control of Satan.
    He will do this with a certain religious organization in Rome, Rev 17-18.
    Grope - pselaphao = to mentally conclude that there is a God and to search for Him.
    Nationalism is what causes people to seek God -
    not Internationalism.
    Even in the Millennium, nationalism will exist as Jesus Christ will rule “nations,” REV 2:26-27.
    b. Nationalism. c. Client nations to God.
    DEU 7:6 “For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.”
    In the Old Testament, there were five Jewish client nations to God: the Theocratic Nation, the United Kingdom, the Northern Kingdom, the Southern Kingdom, Judea.
    A client nation is a national entity under the patronage of God, assigned the responsibility for the preservation, communication, and fulfillment of the canon of Scripture.
    a. The Theocratic Kingdom, B.C. 1441-1020, from the Exodus until the prophet Samuel. The Theocratic Kingdom ended when the Jews said, “We want to be like other nations.”
    b. The United Kingdom from Saul to Rehoboam, B.C. 1020-926.
    c. The Northern Kingdom from Jeroboam to Hoshea, B.C. 926-721.
    d. The Southern Kingdom from Rehoboam to Zedekiah, B.C. 926-586. The fifth cycle of discipline was administered by the Chaldeans under Nebuchadnezzar.
    e. After the Northern and Southern Kingdoms were destroyed, while no Jewish client nation was operational as such, Jews outside of the client nation filled in the gap to Gentile nations as they had been responsible before to do so.
    Then Judah became a client nation again from B.C. 516 until 70 A.D.
    There is one major reason that the Jewish clients did not continue; Negative Volition to Bible doctrine destroys a client nation.
    Apostasy in a client nation is always like a cancer; if it grows long enough, that client nation dies under the fifth cycle of discipline.
    In every case of Jewish apostasy in a Jewish client nation status, both the clergy and the politicians of Israel are indicted along with the negative volition of the people.
    2TI 3:1-2 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money,
    2TI 3:4 ...lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;

  • BASIC PRINCIPLES THE LORD HAS ESTABLISHED WHICH GUARANTEE THAT THE HUMAN RACE WILL NEVER SELF-DESTRU
    Basic principles the Lord has established which guarantee that the human race will never self-destruct.
    Thursday, May 29, 2008
    Point 1. The continuation of the universe and all of its creatures and the state of the atmosphere depends upon the essence of God, namely the omnipotence and immutability of Jesus Christ, COL 1:17; HEB 1:3.
    Point 2. Jesus Christ controls history, not the “so called” scientific laws which simply do not exist.
    Point 3. So-called scientific laws are based on the statistical assumption that the universe, which operates according to a fixed norm, will continue to do so.
    Point 4. The universe with its matter, energy, and operating laws of God will not always exist as it does at the present time, 2PE 3:10-12; REV 21:1.
    Point 5. Known scientific laws and phenomena, which man has been able to observe, classify, recognize and interpret, depend entirely upon the faithfulness of God.
    Point 6. It is by the word of God which has never failed and will never fail that Jesus Christ holds the universe together, HEB 1:3.
    Point 7. Why the Lord Jesus Christ is holding the universe together.
    a. Jesus Christ is holding the universe together to resolve the angelic conflict in human history and to bring many sons into glory, HEB 2:10.
    b. The Lord Jesus Christ is holding the universe together in order to allow grace, which began with the Holy Spirit radiating heat over the ice pack, to run its full course until He destroys the universe by nuclear fission at the end of history.
    Point 8. The so-called scientific laws then belong to TLJC who is the one who sustains the universe.
    Point 9. Scientific laws are simply the faithfulness of TLJC holding the universe together and at the same time holding back eternity.
    Point 10. This doctrine explains the simplicity of miracle working for TLJC.
    A miracle is an event that contradicts known scientific laws and is thought to be due to supernatural causes, especially an act of God.
    LUK 8:25 “He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”
    He controls the sea, JOB 26:10; PSA 33:7.
    He controls the storms, PSA 65:7; PSA 107:29.
    He controls the wind, PSA 148:8; MAR 4:39.
    He controls the rain, GEN 7:4.
    He controls the thunder and hail, EXO 9:33.
    He tells the snow to come upon the earth, JOB 37:6.
    He makes the lightning, JER 10:13.
    It may because you have rejected the word of God which has never failed and will never fail and instead you have chosen to live in self-justification, self-deception, and self-absorption.
    ISA 44:20 He feeds on ashes; a deceived heart has turned him aside. And he cannot deliver himself, nor say, “Is there not a lie in my right hand?”
    These mental attitude sins include arrogance, pride, jealousy, implacability, bitterness, vindictiveness, inordinate ambition and inordinate competition, all motivational sins, and sinful thoughts such as fear, guilt, worry, anger, judging, hatred, even murder.
    Character is the result of two things, mental attitude and how we spend our time.
    Because our Lord Jesus Christ controls history, as a part of our Lord’s divine protection of man, He protects the human race from self-destruction.
    When man takes his own negative decisions to their logical conclusion, it is total destruction of the human race.
    So our Lord Jesus intervenes at times with divine judgment.
    These judgments, divine judgments, protect the human race from self-destruction while at the same time cleansing the human race from elements that would destroy it.
    War is used by God to kill off the leaches of society; it is a cleansing agent, ECC 3:8;
    NUM 21:14.
    Because Jesus Christ controls history, no nation or race ever experiences a catastrophe unless TLJC chooses or allows for it to happen.
    The biblical interpretation of history must be related to God, the angelic conflict, the unseen world of angels and the visible world of mankind.
    To see history objectively we must possess the divine viewpoint from doctrine.
    We must understand such subjects like the angelic conflict, the first advent, the cross, the second advent, dispensations, etc.
    Your job is to discover and recognize God’s place for you and to do so you must be able to correctly interpret history and events that have happened, are happening, and will happen in your life.
    To correctly interpret history one must understand the Church-age, the Royal Family of God......the times of the Gentiles.

  • THE REASON WHY THE WORD OF GOD HAS NEVER AND WILL NEVER FAIL
    The reason why the word of God has never and will never fail.
    Wednesday, May 28, 2008
    In spite of the fact that the Jews rejected their spiritual heritage in ROM 9:4-5, God always keeps His word because Jesus Christ, who is God, in ROM 9:5, controls human history.
    Don’t be like the Jews, who fail to see the biblical interpretation of history and the fact that Jesus Christ controls history.
    If we look at life as it is laid out before us and dealt out to us and do not see it through the biblical interpretation of history and the fact that Jesus Christ controls history, we will not understand why certain things happen.
    If you want to plan for the future, then you should plan for eternity, because eternity is the reality of what the future is all about.
    Point 1. The continuation of the universe and all of its creatures and the state of the atmosphere depends on one fact and one fact only, the essence of God, especially the omnipotence and immutability of Jesus Christ, COL 1:17; HEB 1:3.
    HEB 1:3 He upholds all things by the word of His power.
    That includes the continuation of Satan and all of the fallen angels as well as every evil member of the human race, especially those who are antagonistic toward TLJC.
    ROM 8:31 If God is for us, who is against us?
    PSA 46:1-2 God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
    Even when TLJC was a baby He was still God holding the universe together, HEB 10:5.
    HEB 10:5 Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says, “Sacrifice and offering Thou hast not desired, But a body Thou hast prepared for Me;”
    Even on the cross, TLJC was holding the universe together so that He could suffer in His humanity for the sins of the entire world.
    Point 2. Jesus Christ controls history, not the “so called” scientific laws which simply do not exist. These should be called divine laws rather than scientific laws.
    Scientific laws, as such, do not exist, because science did not develop them, nor does science enforce them. Science cannot guarantee that the universe will be around tomorrow. If science says that these scientific laws will continue they are merely observing the faithfulness of TLJC.
    Point 3. These so-called scientific laws are based on the statistical assumption that the universe, which operates according to a fixed norm, will continue to do so.
    What science is actually observing is the faithfulness of our Lord Jesus Christ, who not only controls history but also controls the universe.
    While science observes these laws, science cannot guarantee these laws, 2PE 3:1-12.
    Point 4. The universe with its matter, energy, and operating laws of God will not always exist as it does at the present time, 2PE 3:10-12; REV 21:1.
    Point 5. Known scientific laws and phenomena, which man has been able to observe, classify, recognize and interpret, depend entirely upon the faithfulness of God.
    Every discovery of the pattern of the universe is a treatise on the faithfulness of Jesus Christ, who at the present time is guaranteeing the function of every bona fide scientific law,
    COL 1:17; HEB 13:8.
    COL 1:17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
    HEB 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes and forever.
    Known scientific laws depend entirely on the essence of God, TLJC, especially the omnipotence plus immutability.
    Point 6. It is by the word of God which has never failed and will never fail that Jesus Christ holds the universe together, HEB 1:3.
    MAT 28:20 “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
    HEB 13:5 “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,”
    Point 7. Why the Lord Jesus Christ is holding the universe together.
    a. Jesus Christ is holding the universe together to resolve the angelic conflict in human history and to bring many sons into glory, HEB 2:10.
    b. The Lord Jesus Christ is holding the universe together in order to allow grace, which began with the Holy Spirit radiating heat over the ice pack, to run its full course until He destroys the universe by nuclear fission at the end of history.
    The day the sun stood still for Joshua in battle, JOS 10:13-14, So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, Until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies. Is it not written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stopped in the middle of the sky, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. And there was no day like that before it or after it, when the Lord listened to the voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel.
    So the universe will be destroyed someday, but the word of God will survive the destruction of the universe, as will the believer in resurrection body,
    HEB 12:26-28.
    Point 8. The so-called scientific laws then belong to TLJC who is the one who sustains the universe.
    These laws can be changed or overruled by the sovereignty of God, 2PE 3:10-12.
    MAT 24:35 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away.”
    The believer will remain forever, even surviving the destruction of the present universe,
    HEB 12:26-28.
    Point 9. Scientific laws are simply the faithfulness of Jesus Christ holding the universe together and at the same time holding back eternity.

  • SIGNS OF THE LAST DAYS AND WHY THE WORD OF GOD WILL NEVER FAIL
    Signs of the last days and why the Word of God will never fail.
    Sunday, May 25, 2008
    ROM 9:6 However, this [the rejection of the Jews concerning their spiritual heritage] rejection is not to imply as though the word of God has failed.
    In spite of what the media or the politicians say, Israel is guaranteed a FUTURE by the word of God which has never failed and will never fail, a FUTURE that is great in time, (Millennial reign), and something that exceeds greatness in all eternity.
    MAT 24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away.
    Israel’s present discipline and the failure of the individual Jew, does not and cannot neutralize the promises of God or the plan of God as revealed in His Word.
    Because of the insertion of the Church-age and the administration of the fifth cycle of discipline to the nation of Judah, this does not mean that Israel has no future.
    This became very discouraging to the Jews, because it appeared as though, by calling out a Royal Family, the Church, that God was not going to keep His word and that He was not going to fulfill His promises to the Jews, as a nation, as well as individuals.
    ISA 44:20 He feeds on ashes; a deceived heart has turned him aside.
    JER 49:16 “The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,”
    JER 42:20 For you have only deceived yourselves;
    In the last days Israel is going to be a nation targeted for destruction by other nations, such as Iraq and Iran.
    ISA 17:12 cf. PSA 83:5-8 -
    Israel will be under attack by the following people according to their modern geographical equivalents:
    Edomites = Jordan - Parts of the West Bank
    Ishmaelites = The Arab people
    Moabites = Jordan - Parts of the West Bank
    Hagrites = Jordan - Arabia
    Gebalites = Lebanon
    Ammonites = Jordan
    Amalekites =
    Southern Israel - Gaza
    Philistia = Gaza
    Tyre = Lebanon
    Assyria = Syria - Parts of Turkey and Iraq
    The Descendants of Lot = Jordan
    Persian empire - Iran
    Because God always keeps His word and because Jesus Christ, who is God, in ROM 9:5, controls history.
    DEU 32:4 The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He.
    Jesus Christ controls history in spite of your opinion or someone else’s opinion and in spite of what seems to be happening everywhere around you personally, nationally, internationally, and historically.
    1CO 1:25 - the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
    1CO 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.
    1CO 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, “He is the one who catches the wise in their craftiness”;
    HEB 12:29 for our God is a consuming fire.
    MAT 24:5-7 “For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah’ and will mislead many. And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars; For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.”
    MAT 24:11 “And many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many.”
    MAT 24:12 - the Lord said that “lawlessness will be increased, and most people’s love will grow cold.”
    Apostasy will characterize the Church before the Rapture, 2TH 2:1-4.
    There will be the watering down of the Gospel and lack of communication of Bible doctrine, teaching the doctrines of man rather than those of God. So called “spiritual leaders” will be led astray,
    2TI 3:5, MAT 15:9.
    False prophets and false Christs will arise, MAT 24:24.
    Good will be called evil and evil good, ISA 5:20.
    Worldly knowledge will increase, DAN 12:4.
    There will be earthquakes, floods, famines, plagues, and diseases such as the world has never seen, Mat 24 and Luk 21.
    Increase in persecution of the Christians,
    MAT 24:9, MAR 13:9.
    REV 9:21 - mankind will be guilty of four major sins in the last days:
    1. Murder
    2. Drugs and experimentation in the occult
    3. Sexual immoralities
    4. Large-scale thievery (Government and politicians included).
    MAL 3:8 “Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, ‘How have we robbed Thee?’ In tithes [taxes] and offerings [spiritual support for those who communicate or make available Bible doctrine to you].”
    1CO 9:11 If we sowed spiritual things in you, is it too much if we should reap material things from you?
    GAL 6:6 Let him who receives instruction in the Word [of God] share all good things with his teacher [contributing to his support].
    MAL 3:8 “Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, ‘How have we robbed Thee?’ In tithes [taxes] and offerings [spiritual support for those who communicate or make available Bible doctrine to you].”
    MAL 3:9-10 “You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation {of you}!” Test me in this and see if I don’t open up heaven itself to you and pour out blessings beyond your wildest dreams.”
    In the last days, just before the Rapture, the word of God which has never failed and will never fail also says that there will be an increase of persecution upon Christians, MAT 24:9, MAR 13:9.
    In 2PE 3:10, what endures the destruction of the universe establishes the true eternal values of life and the highest priorities you should have as a member of the Royal Family of God.
    It is doctrine in your soul, the word of God which has never failed and will never fail which establishes the true eternal values of your life.
    Holy conduct - dative plural adjective hagiais - anastrophais = literally a dedicated to God life-style and godliness or eusebeias - living the spiritual life.
    2PE 3:11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way [the earth and its works], what sort of people ought you to be in “a dedicated to God life-style and living the spiritual life.”
    2PE 3:12
    not “looking for” -
    prosdokao = looking forward with confidence.
    Be diligent [self-motivated] to be found by Him in peace [a state of inner peace, relaxation concerning the future, and tranquility of soul],
    Spotless [the execution of the spiritual life with emphasis on capacity] and blameless [the result of fulfillment of the spiritual life].
    This passage also accentuates the futility and vanity of living for the things in this life, which will ALL be destroyed in God’s timing.
    LUK 9:25 “For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits himself?”
    REV 3:2-3, “Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God. Remember therefore what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. If therefore you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you.”
    Character is being built by God in your life through the routine daily functions of your life, without you even knowing about it.
    What we miss is God’s timing.
    What we miss are God’s priorities and values.
    If we look at life as it is laid out before us and dealt out to us and do not see it through the biblical interpretation of history and the fact that Jesus Christ controls history, we will not understand why certain things happen.
    God is the author of life -
    EZE 18:4 “Behold, all souls are Mine;”
    1TH 3:3 Let no one be disturbed by these afflictions;
    Then we see the importance of the biblical interpretation of history and the fact that Jesus Christ controls history and we will understand why certain things are allowed to happen in our lives.

  • IN SPITE OF WHAT HAPPENS, THE WORD OF GOD HAS NEVER FAILED AND WILL NEVER FAIL
    In spite of what happens, the word of God has never failed and will never fail.

    By calling out a Royal Family, the Church, that God was not going to keep His word and that He was not going to fulfill His promises to the Jews, as a nation, as well as individuals.
    God always keeps His word. Because Jesus Christ, who is God, ROM 9:5, controls history.
    If God does not keep His word, as the majority of the Jews alleged, then why live as though He does?
    Jesus Christ controls history in spite of what you and I like or think, in spite of what’s happening around you personally, nationally, internationally, and historically.
    You have to interpret history as a spiritual believer and begin to note the biblical interpretation of history and how you recognize and understand the historical trends of the time in which you are living.
    1. Even though history is the record of man’s thoughts, decisions, actions and motivations, it is Jesus Christ who controls history.
    2. This is the first dispensation in which Jesus Christ controls history as a man, the God-man, from His Hypostatic Union.
    3. In Human history, there are two sources of judgment: the sovereign decisions of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the erroneous decisions of mankind as they follow Satan and the kingdom of darkness in their sin of independence from God.
    4. People individually and collectively are the products of their own decisions.
    Decisions create environment, not environment decisions.
    So-called historical disasters are not tragedies since individuals, nations, and empires are the products of their own self-determination.
    5. The pattern of historical disaster begins with economic depression, moves to moral and immoral degeneracy, and ends in military disaster.
    6. God selects the most evil nation to administer the fifth cycle of discipline to a degenerate client nation.
    Evil one destroys evil two.
    7. Individual subjectivity destroys national objectivity.
    Arrogant people or arrogant nations never see their own inconsistencies, only the inconsistencies of others.
    Jealous people and envious nations never see their own sins and production of evil, only the sins and evil of others.
    Holding to a superficial form of the spiritual life is ritual without reality, being exposed to doctrine on a limited basis and thinking that is all you need.
    There are two powers in the spiritual life which are denied: the filling of the Holy Spirit and the power of the word of God.
    You are to avoid such people as these because these people can have a great influence on your life.
    Gunaikaria - does not just mean silly women but also males who are emotional in their souls.
    They derive their strength from their arrogance, their stubbornness, their concepts of morality, but they have no problem solving devices.
    This is gnosis without epignosis, or knowledge but not wisdom.
    They have no metabolized doctrine.
    7. Individual subjectivity destroys national objectivity.
    8. This is why Christ taught the doctrine of perpetual warfare until He returns.
    Bringing together all these principles in his mind and “correctly interpreting contemporary history according to the prophecies of the Bible” gives the believer has a new lease on life and a positive attitude even toward his failures of the past.
    Once again, the grace, patience, longsuffering, and compassion of God is revealed by giving His children another chance.
    MAT 18:21 “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”
    MAT 18:22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.”
    LUK 17:3 “Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ forgive him.”
    HOS 14:4 I will heal their apostasy, I will love them freely, For My anger has turned away from them.
    You have been forgiven and released from any of your sins and your failures and you can have an impact on history in some way.
    In the biblical interpretation of history, it is normal to relate yourself to what is going on in history, especially in light of the fact that you believe and understand that Jesus Christ controls history, as a perfectly normal function.
    ROM 9:6 However, this is not to imply as though the word of God has failed.
    Mockers are going to have a heyday reducing everything to the level of their puny little feelings and their over-rated so-called I.Q.
    The word of God which has never failed says,
    1CO 1:19 “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the cleverness of the clever I will set aside.”
    1CO 1:20-21, Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
    They conveniently forget that long ago all the galaxies and this very planet were brought into existence by God’s word.
    The most valuable thing is usually the thing that is the oldest, and the oldest thing is in the form of thought and that thought is Bible the word of God.

  • THE SIGNS OF THE LAST DAYS PROVING THAT THE WORD OF GOD HAS NEVER FAILED
    The signs of the last days proving that the word of God has never failed.
    Thursday, May 22, 2008
    ROM 9:6 However, this [rejection of the Jews concerning their spiritual heritage] rejection is not to imply as though the word of God has failed.
    ROM 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect.
    -KJV
    The Old Testament contains many of the unconditional covenants, the promises to Israel regarding the future of that race and that nation.
    Millennialism = there will be a period of 1,000 years when TLJC will rule this earth as king.
    DAN 7:27 The sovereignty, the dominion, and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom {will be} an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him.
    1. It is very difficult to survive and to be truly happy and content without capacity.
    2. Mankind cannot be satisfied without a personal relationship with TLJC.
    ECC 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], - Amplified Translation
    3. Believers can use Bible doctrine and remain faithful even in prosperity, and as a result, there will be many unbelievers during the Millennial age who will despise believers and join Satan at the end of the 1,000 years,REV 20:7-10.
    PSA 14:3 They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one.
    PSA 62:9 Men of low degree [in the social scale] are emptiness (futility, a breath) and men of high degree [in the same scale] are a lie and a delusion. In the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath.
    PSA 62:9 Man as such is smoke, woman as such, a mirage. Put them together, they’re nothing; two times nothing is nothing. - The Message
    ISA 53:6 All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him.
    JAM 3:2 For we all stumble in many ways.
    JOB 14:4 “Who can make the clean out of the unclean? No one!”
    ECC 7:20 Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who {continually} does good and who never sins.
    JAM 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
    MAT 5:27-28 You have heard that it was said, “You shall not commit adultery”; but I say to you, that everyone who looks on a woman to lust for her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
    Total depravity began in the Edenic dispensation (in the Garden) under perfect environment; the age or dispensation of the Gentiles (Adam and the woman) failed no matter what the Lord did.
    The antediluvian age (the age before the flood) under the dispensation of the Gentiles failed no matter what the Lord did, operation flood.
    The post-diluvian age (the age after the flood) under the dispensation of the Gentiles, in which mankind once again failed by building the Tower of Babel, failed no matter what the Lord did.
    Then there was the dispensation of Israel, and the Jews totally failed no matter what the Lord did.
    Then in the first Christocentric dispensation, TLJC came unto His own, but His own did not receive Him; they failed no matter what the Lord did.
    The Church-age began and the word of God teaches that even in that dispensation most believers reject the authority of TLJC no matter what the Lord does for them.
    The Tribulation begins with God using crisis evangelism to warn people, but they still will reject TLJC, no matter what the Lord does.
    If one fourth of the people of the earth are killed, that leaves 3 fourths of the world alive. And then one third of them is killed; that means half the world dies.
    The answer = No - without a relationship with TLJC mankind is implacable, frustrated, miserable, ungrateful, or hard-hearted.
    MAT 24:35 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away.”
    Per-act-ind - ekpipto - ekpeptooken - e*kpevptwken = to be in vain, to lose force and validity, and therefore to fail.
    ROM 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. -KJV
    What was wrong with these Jews is that they were suffering, from what might be categorized as terminal self-righteousness.
    As a result of this they had come to this great point of discouragement, where they say, the word of God has failed.
    Israel’s present discipline and the failure of the individual Jew, does not and cannot neutralize the promises of God or the plan of God as revealed in His Word.
    The problem is that because of the insertion of the Church-age, and the administration of the fifth cycle of discipline to the nation of Judah, this still does not mean that Israel has no future.
    The apostle Paul anticipated that because of the end of the age of Israel, and the insertion of the Church-age, which to the unbeliever Jew is known as the “Times of the Gentiles,” that many Jews would give up on the Old Testament promises.
    In the Old Testament, the Jews were always the client nation to God, with the exception of a few periods of decline when, for example, the Jews would be out under the fifth cycle of disciple and God would use temporarily a Gentile nation.
    After the Church is removed by the Rapture, and the Tribulation begins, it is prophesied that there will be a Jewish nation in Palestine in the Tribulation period.
    The Jews were the client nation in the past, and the Jews will be a client nation in the future and forever, but in the meantime, the Gentiles have their day.
    This became very discouraging to the Jews because it appeared as though, by calling out a Royal Family, the Church, that God was not going to keep His word and that was not going to fulfill His promises to the Jews, as a nation, as well as individuals.
    Isaiah dwells on the future of Israel, in spite of the fact that they would be disciplined and they would be removed from the scene of history as a client nation to God for a period of time, almost 2,000 years as of now.
    Because God always keeps His word.
    Because Jesus Christ controls history.
    If Jesus Christ in His great wisdom saw fit to remove Israel from the scene, and during the time of the calling out of the Royal Family to make it also the times of the Gentiles, and to have Gentile nations as the client nation to God, then as God, ROM 9:5, He knows exactly what He is doing.
    Jesus Christ controls history in spite of what you and I like or think, in spite of what’s happening around you personally, nationally, internationally, and historically.

  • NO MATTER WHAT SIGHT SAYS, THE PROMISES OF GOD WILL NEVER FAIL
    No matter what sight says, the promises of God will never fail.
    Wednesday, May 21, 2008
    They saw the Lord Jesus Christ, face to face, and they heard His message, and they saw His miracles; they had the whole picture, and still they hardened their hearts, and had that same negative volition they had in the Old Testament.
    JER 29:13 “And you will seek Me and find {Me,} when you search for Me with all your heart.”
    HEB 11:6b - He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him,
    those who in MAR 12:30 love the Lord their God with all their heart, and with all their soul, and with all their mind, and with all their strength.
    For in the Church-age, in spite of all that God has done and how He has revealed the mystery doctrine of the Church-age, the average believer knows nothing about it.
    Hoion de hoti -
    oi%on deV o@ti = but or however, this is not to imply that.
    ROM 9:6 However, this is not to imply as though the word of God has failed.
    The word of God - logos tou theou - lovgo#34; tou’ qeou’.
    Logos = thought - thought is impossible apart from vocabulary.
    The entire Old Testament, when put together properly which such passages as Isaiah and the Mosaic part of the Old Testament, all add up to something very wonderful for Israel; Israel has a FUTURE, something that is great in time, something that exceeds greatness in eternity.
    It spells out, a nation forever, a people of God forever, a people under a theocracy forever, but not only forever or eternity, but also in time as well.
    I will ascend into heaven = the third heaven where God is, 2CO 12:2.
    I will raise my throne or exalt my throne above the stars of God =
    the angels, in JOB 38:7; Jud 13; REV 12:3-4, stars are angels.
    I will sit on the mount of the assembly in the recesses of the north = rulership over the government of the earth,ISA 2:1-4.
    Clouds are used to represent the divine presence of God or His glory.
    Jehovah appeared in cloud,
    EXO 16:10.
    Jehovah rides upon cloud,
    PSA 104:3.
    In spite of the universal impressions that Satan is unlike God he is much like God outwardly.
    Islam is an anti-Christ, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic book filled with violence.
    Al Maidah (The Table): “Believers (Muslims), take neither Jews nor Christians to be your friends: they are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship Shall become one of their number, and God does not guide (those Jewish and Christian) wrong-doers,” 5:51-5:74. They teach that the Jews are evil-doers. 5:57.
    Surah 48:29 Be harsh with unbelievers, the Christians, the Jews, the Atheist neighbors and colleagues.
    Surah 69:30-37 As for him who does not believe in Islam, the Prophet announces with a #34;stern command#34;: “Seize ye him, and bind ye him, And burn ye him in the Blazing Fire.”
    Further, make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits! And let him where a sign that “This was he that would not believe in Allah Most High.”
    When TLJC, a Jew, rules all the nations with a rod of iron; this will be the Millennial age, an age when divine righteousness is expressed to mankind as never before.
    The Millennial age will also be God’s final test toward fallen humanity under the most ideal circumstances and perfect environment.
    All outward sources of temptation must be removed so that man will demonstrate what he is apart from satanic influence, and that is man is totally corrupt regardless of environment.
    Millennialism = there will be a period of 1,000 years when TLJC will rule this earth as king.
    It is also evident that there can be no perfect environment apart from the personal manifestation of TLJC.
    Because of His presence: the curse is abolished, death is overcome, the evils pertaining to fallen man and fallen nature are removed, and great blessings are obtained.
    During the Millennium all nations come before TLJC and worship Him as God, PSA 86:9;
    ZEC 14:16-19.
    PSA 86:9 All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and worship before Thee, O Lord; And they shall glorify Thy name.
    1. There will be world peace. National and individual peace will be the fruit of the Messiah’s reign, ISA 2:4; 11:6-9; 60:18; 61:7.
    2. It will be a fantastic time of inner happiness and joy, ISA 9:3-4; JER 30:18-19; ZEP 3:14-17.
    3. The kingdom will be characterized by glory, ISA 24:3; ISA 4:2; 60:1-9.
    4. It will be a kingdom manifested by holiness, ISA 1:26-27; JER 31:23; EZE 36:24-31.
    5. The King will personally minister to every need so that there will be the fullness of “comfort,”
    ISA 12:1-2; JER 31:23-25; ZEC 9:11-12.
    6. There will be the administration of perfect justice, ISA 9:7; JER 23:5; 31:29-30.
    7. There will be the most fantastic teaching ministry of God the H.S., ISA 11:1-2; 41:19-20;
    HAB 2:14.
    8. There will be direct instruction from TLJC as the King of kings,
    ISA 29:17-24; 3:14-15; MIC 4:2.
    9. The original curse placed upon creation in GEN 2:17-19 will be removed.
    10. Sickness will be removed. The ministry of the King as the healer will be seen throughout the Millennium so that sickness and even death will be removed, the exception being “death” in dealing with criminal sin or capital punishment, ISA 33:24; JER 30:17; EZE 34:16.
    11. All of the deformed are healed as well; if they were deformed at the time of the Second Advent they will experience a total healing, ISA 29:17-19; JER 31:8;
    MIC 4:6-7.
    12. There will also be a supernatural work of preservation in the Millennial age through the King, ISA 41:8-14;EZE 34:27; Joel 3:16-17.
    13. There will be no social, political, or religious oppression, ISA 14:3-6; 42:6-7; ZEC 9:11-12.
    14. There will not be the tragedies of mental illness or of infant deaths, ISA 65:20.
    15. The earth’s population will soar and there will be sex. Children will be born to the believers who began the Millennium and will have a sin nature and therefore need salvation, JER 30:20; 31:29; EZE 47:22; ZEC 10:8.
    16. There will exist a perfect economic system (e.g. no unions) in which the needs of men are abundantly provided for, ISA 62:9-9; 65:21-23; JER 31:5.
    17. There will be an increase of solar and lunar light. The increased light probably is a major cause of the increased productivity of the earth, ISA 4:5; 30:26; 60:19-20;
    ZEC 2:5.
    18. There will be a unified language. The language barriers will be removed so that there can be free social intercourse, ZEP 3:9.
    a. It is very difficult to survive, to be truly happy and content, without capacity.
    b. Mankind cannot be satisfied without a personal relationship with TLJC.
    c. Believers can use Bible doctrine and remain faithful even in prosperity.
    The fact that man has 1,000 years of perfect environment and he revolts against perfect environment is a demonstration of the principle that environment is not the solution to man’s problems.
    The Edenic dispensation under the age or dispensation of the Gentiles failed no matter what the Lord did.
    The antediluvian age under the dispensation of the Gentiles failed no matter what the Lord did, operation flood.
    The postdiluvian age under the dispensation of the Gentiles, in which mankind once again failed by building the Tower of Babel, failed no matter what the Lord did.

    Another dispensation, the Tribulation begins with God using crisis evangelism to warn people, but they still reject TLJC, no matter what the Lord does.
    The answer = no
    - illustrating that without a relationship with TLJC mankind is implacable, frustrated, miserable, ungrateful, or hard-hearted.
    JOB 14:4 Who can make the clean out of the unclean? No one!
    ROM 3:10 as it is written, “There is none righteous, not even one;
    There is none good, not one.”

    MAT 24:35 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words shall not pass away.”
    1PE 1:25 But the word of the Lord abides forever. “And this is the word which was preached to you.”
    Perf-act-ind - ekpipto compound verb -

    You have to interpret history as a spiritual believer and begin to note the proper interpretation of history or how a mature believer can recognize divine guidance in their life.
    Bringing together all these principles in his mind and correctly interpreting contemporary history gives the believer a new lease on life and a positive attitude even toward your failures of the past.
    Once again, the grace, patience, longsuffering and compassion of God is revealed by giving one of his children another chance.

    In the biblical interpretation of history, it is normal to relate yourself to what is going on in history, especially in the light of the fact that you believe and understand that Jesus Christ controls history, as a perfectly normal function.
    So Paul interprets the witnessing..., the gift from the Philippians..., the epistles that he has just written..., and even all of the opposition that he has, as he pulls it all together in his soul and believes he is going to be delivered.

  • THE DOCTRINE OF NEGATIVE VOLITION. PART 8

    The Doctrine of Negative Volition. Part 8.

    Sunday, May 18, 2008

    The message that he is going to give has previously been given on many other occasions.

    Saul has been whining and complaining about all of the things he needs, the problems that he has, and he wants the whole world to stop and cater to him.

    Negative volition toward doctrine has changed this man completely; it has changed him physically, mentally, and spiritually.

    A believer who has negative volition toward doctrine will look old before his time, have a soul that is warped and is filled with misery and disappointment.

    Because no matter how nice your mirror tells you are, how attractive or how nice you appear, none of these things matter when the chips are down.

    Human ability and human strength, human personality will not sustain you in time of pressure.

    They are very insensitive about the feelings of others and hyper-sensitive about the feelings of self.

    His soul fainted because it was minus doctrine and his body fainted because it was minus physical food.

    HEB 12:3 For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you may not grow weary and lose heart.

    ISA 1:5 Where will you be stricken again, you continue in rebellion? The whole head is sick, And the whole heart is faint.

    PRO 24:10 If you are slack in the day of distress, Your strength is limited.

    This is the case of the witch turned woman.

    She is now called “ha ishshah” - the woman.
    She used to be called “eshleth obh,” mistress of a demon; now she is “ha Ishshah,” the woman.
    She calls herself a maidservant or a shipchah - your female slave.

    When you find a compassionate woman you are in the presence of a lady with great beauty.

    Women are either carried away with their own beauty or their own selfish objectives or their own self-importance, or they could be genuine with their compassion.

    Just like the male species, many females have the body of a woman but the soul of a child.

    There are many young men who go from their mother to a wife-mother and have exactly the same problem.

    1SA 28:22 She kept on saying, “Will you please listen to me?”
    One of the things that characterizes agitation, fear, and shock is inability to concentrate.

    Eat - Qal imperative, a command.
    1SA 28:22 “Let me set a piece of bread before you and eat it that you may have strength when you go on your way.”

    The weaker the man the stronger the woman.
    She starts out with “If you please,” but she ends up with a command to eat.

    Saul is in one of the worst situations a man can be in; he has a woman feeling sorry for him.

    1SA 28:22 “So now, I pray you, listen also to the voice of your handmaid and let me set a morsel of food before you, and eat, so you may have strength when you go on your way.” - AMP

    1SA 28:22 “It’s your turn to do what I tell you: Let me give you some food. Eat it. It will give you strength so you can get on your way.” - Message

    When a woman starts using imperatives and starts commanding, the man is no longer a man.

    Hardness of the heart is manifested by rebellion and stubbornness.

    1SA 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.

    It is kind of fitting that an unbeliever, who was a former demon possessed person, should have the honor of giving Saul his last meal.

    The calf is the most expensive of all the sacrifices and
    unleavened bread is a reminder of who and what Christ is in His humanity.

    The calf represented the sacrifice of Christ for us.
    The unleavened bread speaks of fellowship with God on the basis of our Lord’s sacrifice.

    Now he goes out into the night, the night of confusion and despair and selfishness.

    She calls herself a maidservant or a shipchah - your female slave.
    When you find a compassionate woman you are in the presence of a lady with great beauty.
    Women are either carried away with their own beauty or their own selfish objectives or their own self-importance, or they could be genuine with their compassion.
    Just like the male species, many females have the body of a woman but the soul of a child.
    There are many young men who go from their mother to a wife-mother and have exactly the same problem.
    1SA 28:22 She kept on saying, “Will you please listen to me?”
    One of the things that characterizes agitation, fear, and shock is inability to concentrate.
    Eat - Qal imperative, a command.
    1SA 28:22 “Let me set a piece of bread before you and eat it that you may have strength when you go on your way.”
    The weaker the man the stronger the woman.
    She starts out with “If you please,” but she ends up with a command to eat.
    Saul is in one of the worst situations a man can be in; he has a woman feeling sorry for him.
    1SA 28:22 “So now, I pray you, listen also to the voice of your handmaid and let me set a morsel of food before you, and eat, so you may have strength when you go on your way.” - AMP
    1SA 28:22 “It’s your turn to do what I tell you: Let me give you some food. Eat it. It will give you strength so you can get on your way.” - Message
    When a woman starts using imperatives and starts commanding, the man is no longer a man.
    Hardness of the heart is manifested by rebellion and stubbornness.
    1SA 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
    It is kind of fitting that an unbeliever, who was a former demon possessed person, should have the honor of giving Saul his last meal.
    The calf is the most expensive of all the sacrifices and
    unleavened bread is a reminder of who and what Christ is in His humanity.
    The calf represented the sacrifice of Christ for us.
    The unleavened bread speaks of fellowship with God on the basis of our Lord’s sacrifice.
    Now he goes out into the night, the night of confusion and despair and selfishness.
