  • #Culture: Boys to Women. Gender Identification in Modern Society.

    EXCLUSIVE | SPECIAL RELEASE

    You have heard the adage, “boys will be boys.” Well, today, that is a racist statement – at least within the public schools. Can you imagine a boy being sent home for nibbling a Pop-Tart into a gun or a boy drawing a picture of a sword fight? Both of these events happened. In America’s schools, boys are consistently punished for being active, competitive, aggressive, or restless. Our conclusion, boys can no longer be boys.

    Why does our enemy push for boys being treated like defective girls?

    Great question. And it deserves a great answer. In the Bible, boys are the representative of Christ. Girls/wives are the representatives of the Church – Holy Spirit. This is why the Church is considered a she – the Bride of Christ.

    “For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.” (Ephesians 5:23)

    God created women to have a natural/instinctive ability to care for children. Furthermore, He designed men with an instinct to protect and serve women. The best illustration is, men are the outward structure of a house and women are the infrastructure within the house. This creational element was for the strict purpose of establishing Christ’s role with the Church long after He physically went on to be with His Father. This is the reason behind His design and instruction for men to function as the protector/head of their homes. If weakened, the home becomes penetrable to the enemy. Refined masculinity is no longer developed and praised when this creational element is reduced. Once masculinity is subversive, Christ’s role in the Church dissipates. Here is our scripture.

    “For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (2 Timothy 3:6-7)

    While I am apt to get unsubscribers over this statement, it must be stated. One of the leading impulses available to tempt our women today is Christianized feminism. This single lie has dominated the entire Church, present culture & global politics. Feminism is nothing short of a girl becoming a man, minimally in functionality. Just as in the case of an effeminate male is a boy becomes a woman. Most Christian women who are associated with the term “feminism” are horrifically offended. Although, they don’t mind society talking about (or labeling) most men as effeminate, weak, and devoid of authentic masculinity. Our challenge. Feminists can’t handle non-effeminate men. Statistics prove this. When a man rises to the occasion of maleness, feminists (Christian or not) grab their picket signs and begin their self-proclamation ideations. This, my dear reader, is what our boys are reared as the cultural norm. Seriously, why would a boy want to become a masculine man, fully knowing they will be defeated or beaten down by a masculine woman? Listen to the full podcast.

  • Prophecy: #2 Caesar's Salad Too Salty

    TOO SALTY FOR CAESAR

    Due to lack of trustworthy records, it is often difficult to verify statements about history, especially when those statements are written by writers who may be biased. This is an ongoing challenge for those who study the history of the early churches.

    One fact remains indisputable: the Romans destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem and virtually wiped out that city in 70 AD. For a long time afterward, Jews were out of favor with the Roman government. It seems likely that, from 70 AD on, Christians sought to separate themselves from being associated with their Jewish counterparts and any favor or special privileges Jews once had from the Romans were no longer valuable.

    It was about this time when the churches started growing because of dedicated evangelistic efforts, as well as the advent of the gospels and letters which would become the bulk of the New Testament. Even though the church was growing, it was still too small to receive much recognition or persecution from the Roman Government. However, there were localized pockets of persecution.

    John wrote Revelation as the first century was coming to a close. Jesus had been dead for more than five decades, and the Christians were unsure about when He would return. False teachers tormented churches throughout the empire. Some churches were not doing so well. Jewish leaders were no longer persecuting Christians, but persecution by local officials and citizen groups was growing. Overall, Revelation was written in a time of great uncertainty and turmoil.

    To modern readers, Revelation appears to be a confusing mix of prophecies and symbols that address mostly events future to modern times. It is often unclear what these events are or when they will occur. Although it is a difficult read, it is still a valuable part of the New Testament.  As John wrote in the opening: “Blessed are those who read and hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things written in it; for the time is at hand.” You don’t have to understand Revelation to be blessed by reading it.

  • #1 The Spit of Jesus

    THE SPIT OF JESUS

    John had possibly been living in Ephesus for many years prior to the writing of Revelation. If so, he would have been very familiar with the churches in Asia, including the seven churches addressed in Revelation 2 and 3.

    Revelation 1:19-20 introduces Revelation 2 and 3, and these two verses are sourced from Revelation 1:12-16. All seven letters in Revelation 2 and 3 are addressed to the angel of that church, but it is not clear to modern readers what that means. It is possible that angel refers to the human leader of each church or to the envoys these churches had sent to John. It seems as if the letters are meant to be applied both by the angel and the church members.

    The seven churches are located in a rough geometrical oval. The order of the church letters starts with Ephesus on the southwest side and progresses in a clockwise fashion to Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. The church at Ephesus was the largest of these churches and, along with Laodicea, is the only church mentioned elsewhere in the New Testament (although Lydia of Thyatira is mentioned). Due to its location, it seems like the church at Colossae should have been included in this list; we don’t know why it was not.

    The letters of Revelation 2 and 3 are from Jesus. The general pattern of the letters is: the address to the angel of the church, a characteristic of Jesus, an acknowledgement of the condition of the church, something good about the church, a warning to the church, and a promise of a reward for changed behavior.

    Although the letters are addressed to seven specific churches, you can easily see that the problems addressed in them are experienced by modern churches, making Revelation 2 and 3 very valuable and relevant to modern Christians and churches. To many people, some of the most sobering verses in the Bible are found in passages such as Revelation 2:4-5, 2:14, 3:3 and 3:15-17. However, some of the most encouraging verses of the Bible are also found in these two chapters.

  • The Revelation Connection

    The end of humanity's history is soon upon us. If you like endings with a flurry of incredible events climaxing with a bang – well, you will love how this story ends. I love how the apostle Paul said it. “Things which the eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.” Not only were those words given to Paul before John wrote the book of Revelation, but he was also given a glimpse of hope of the glorious new Earth for all those who love and are indwelt by Christ Jesus. While these words should motivate all to be a part of the closing act of humanity, ninety percent of the world’s masses deny Jesus and go to Hell.

    In the final four chapters of Revelation, we are given chapter headings of seventeen global events that end humanity, Satan, and his demonic loyalist. Almost all of them have been noted by prophets through the ages. John was privileged enough to write them down to seal the promise of God, fulfilling all stated prophecies from Genesis to Revelation’s book. Listen to this episode for the full story.

  • Daniel's Vision | The Son of Man

    While Daniel was on the riverbank, Gabriel opened his eyes to see “the Son of Man” (Jesus). How can Daniel see Jesus Christ in a vision when the incarnation of Christ had not occurred? The answer is obvious. Jesus has always lived past, present, and future. During the time of Daniel, Christ was active in the counsel and purpose of God; had agreed in covenant to be man, was promised and prophesied as such; and now Daniel gets a preview of His appearance in a human form, which He frequently did before his incarnation throughout the Old Testament. In this, God revealed His pledge and showed His prophecy of the incarnation yet to come. By the way, what Daniel saw in his vision matches the image of Jesus in Revelation (Rev. 19:8).

  • Daniel's Seventy Weeks

    All outspoken believers suffer persecution in one form or another. These souls are a special breed of Jews. So much so that each will have a DNA that connects them to the twelve tribes of Israel. After the Rapture, God will shift His focus to Israel. Before the Rapture, His focus was on the age of Grace or what the Old Testament calls the age of the Gentiles, which has been in play since Daniel’s vision. After the Rapture, the age of Grace is closed, completed. This shift is for God to surface the remaining bloodline Jews who are authentic tribal descendants of the twelve tribes. Since Satan’s primary goal during the Tribulation is to eradicate the authentic Jews, thus God’s focus will be to redeem the remaining pure Jews, which happens to be perfect numerically – 144,000, 12,000 from each tribe. Not one short or more will be saved during this time. If you are one of those believers who thinks God doesn’t care about DNA, you are in for a God-sized surprise.  You are what Biblical Paul calls “blind.”

    For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening (blindness) has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, "THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB." (Romans 11:25-26)

    Folks, that fullness of the Gentiles is completed at the moment of the Rapture…

  • Mother of Biblical Timothy

    There is a reason you do not read much about Biblical Timothy’s father. Although, history reveals enough that we can understand this mystery.

    Eunice was a pure bloodline Jew, and so was her mother, Lois. For reasons not stated, Eunice broke the Hebrew law of marrying outside of the Jewish bloodline – she married a Greek Gentile. Shortly after marrying, she became pregnant with Timothy. Hebrew law requires all sons to be circumcised on the eighth day. Eunice moved forward with the circumcision with the local Jewish priest. Since her husband was a notable leader amongst the Lystrans, he refuted this act, but he also deserted her and baby Timothy. Eunice, stuck between honoring her deserted husband and her loyalty to Hebrew laws and customs, decides not to go through with the circumcision. History never mentions her husband again. However, we know that Eunice remained single throughout her life. We see why Eunice and her mother raised Timothy on their own. 

    Learn more about the training of Timothy’s mother and grandmother. It is not difficult for me to see that our Lord used the strength of mothers and a child's weaknesses without a fatherly influence to establish one of the world's greatest spiritual sons. God has used this modality to surface some of the greatest leaders in Christianity. I am one of them. Listen to the full podcast.

  • The Coming False Prophet

    Daniel had a glimpse into the triune of Satan, which is the Antichrist, the Beast, and the False Prophet. One of the most mysterious is the False Prophet. John, the writer of Revelation’s book, warns us of a dragon-like creature who will present himself as a great prophet. This figure will come on the scene as a pleasant, humble, and self-effacing person whose magnetic personality will seduce many followers. The prophet will be much like the false image Jesus warned us would come.

    "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” (Matthew 7:15)

    Unless one has the indwelling Holy Spirit, it will be impossible for the masses to discern this prophet being a ravenous wolf. All external evidence will tempt the masses to be diabolically deceived. They will have no ability to discern this prophet's strong relationship with the Antichrist or Satan himself.

  • Ishtar Is Easter

    Paganism & Easter

    Easter is a day that is honored by nearly all of contemporary Christianity and is used to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The holiday often involves a church service at sunrise, a feast that includes an “Easter Ham,” decorated eggs, and stories about rabbits. As most of us know, the best part about Easter is chocolate.

    Those who love Truth learn to ask questions, and many questions must be asked regarding the holiday of Easter.

    Is it truly the day when Jesus arose from the dead? Where did all of the strange customs come from, which have nothing to do with the resurrection of our Savior?

    This article aims to help answer those questions and help those seeking Truth draw their conclusions.

    We must first understand that professing indwelt Christians were not the only ones who celebrated a festival called “Easter.” Listen to the podcast…

    Most are probably thinking, what now? You can do what most do; when in Rome, do as the Romans do, or you can make a stand. When you identify pagan symbols and beliefs – refuse to acknowledge them. As a pastor, I always preach a message on the authentic history of Ishtar’s manipulative plan and then conduct a Passover service for our congregation – an organic Hebrew Messianic celebration of Jesus’s resurrection.

  • European Union in Prophecy

    THE ANCIENT OF DAYS

    Dreams and visions are as common as humanity. Prophetic dreams and visions are astounding when the Lord gives them to His children. However, He gave the greatest of visions to Daniel. Daniel not only interpreted a defiling king’s dream, but he also possessed an ability to connect the king’s dreams to the future. In this, we can see a true prophet of the Living God.

    In our study, we have been blessed with a revelation of God by Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of the statue of empires. The first was Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon, the second is the Medo-Persian empire, the third was Greece, and the fourth was Rome. After Rome fell, Rome had a rebirth of sorts through 10 kingdoms that surfaced in our modern-day Europe. Each of these kingdoms was established by a group called the Germanic tribe, modern-day Germany. These kingdoms morphed into the European Union. 

    It doesn’t take a historian to see that modern Europe and ancient Rome are twin empires. In this, Europe will represent and fill the shoes of global leadership, which puts them in the middle of end-times prophecies.

    Soon and very soon, we will see a consolidation of world power coming from this unified group of power players. As you probably know, there has not been one group or nation that has dominated world politics and economics since the days of old Rome. That is about to change.

    The first President of the EU said; We do not need another committee. We have too many already. What we need is a man of sufficient stature to hold the allegiance of all people, and to lift us out of the economic morass into which we are sinking. Send us such a man and be he god or devil, we will receive him.” Folks, it doesn’t get any clearer than that. As prophecy would have it, he will be both a god and the devil.
