UNDERSTAND WHAT 'CAUGHT UP' MEANS

"Hear Our Living Word Who Is Christ Jesus"
Who Would Not Have You To Be Ignorant

Many church attendees believe that the church will rapture or flyaway before the tribulation of the anti-christ, which is satan’s deception as he who comes instead of Christ Jesus. This deception of satan as the anti-christ or the instead of jesus occurs before the Second Coming of Christ Jesus, which is the Day of our Lord. The church is “caught up” in an ocean of deception, misinterpreting Paul’s teaching from [I Thessalonians 4:17] which says, “Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” It is necessary to understand the subject that Paul is addressing within this Verse, which is outlined starting with "Verse 13." Therefore, one should revert back to the subject line or back to [I Thessalonians 4:13], and not hop and skip around because this is why Paul’s teaching is so unjustly misunderstood. It is necessary to seek to understand the intended meaning of the phrase “caught up”, which means it is necessary to break back these words into the original Greek language. Often times our English understanding of other languages does not fully translate the intended thought or idea intended. “Caught Up” is the Greek word “harpazo {har-pad'-zo}", meaning "to seize, carry off by force, to snatch out or away.” It is similar to the Greek word “airo {ah'-ee-ro}”, meaning “to take away from another what is his or what is committed to him, to take by force.” Also, “to take from among the living, either by a natural death, or by violence, cause to cease, to take off or away what is attached to anything, to move from its place.” These definitions of the words “caught up” are attached to the subject which is found in I Thessalonians 4:13, which says, “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.” Paul’s subject has absolutely nothing to do with those who attend church buildings escaping the tribulation of satan as the anti-christ, rather concerns those who are asleep or those who have ceased living in flesh bodies since they have passed away, and absent from the flesh body is present with our LORD. I, as Paul, “would not have you to be ignorant”, therefore let us study Paul’s teaching of “where the dead are” Verse by Verse, which as you will see does not in any way address the rapture or flyaway of the church congregations.

I Thessalonians - Chapter 4, Verses 13 - 18 {Subject – Those Who Are Asleep, Passed Away}

I Thessalonians 4:13 says, “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.” “Asleep” is the Greek word “koimao {koy-mah'-o}", meaning "to die.” Christ Jesus taught us concerning those asleep or who have died, passed away, in the flesh in Luke 8:52 which says, “Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.” In this particular teaching the ruler of a synagogue’s daughter had fallen asleep or passed away in the flesh. The next Verses of Christ Jesus’ teaching bear out why Paul taught us not to be ignorant concerning those who are asleep or have passed away in the flesh because it is ignorance that causes you to have no hope. Luke 8:53 says, “And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.” Paul’s teaching of asleep and Christ Jesus’ teaching of sleepeth have the same meaning, to die in the flesh. Ecclesiastes 12:6 says, “Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.” Verse 7 says, “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.” As Paul teaches in another of his Epistles, “it is far better to be absent from the flesh and to be present with the LORD.” Those that laughed and scorned Christ Jesus are the “ignorant”, which means “to err or sin through mistake, to be wrong.” Luke 8:54 says, “And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.” Christ Jesus is the resurrection of life. When Lazarus, Martha and Mary’s brother, passed away, Christ Jesus said in John 11:11, “Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.” John 11:25 says, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:” John 11:26 says, “And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” Christ Jesus taught those of us alive, remaining in the flesh what occurs at the hour of another’s individuals flesh death, being, they are loosed and let go. Our Lord led captivity captive, which means Christ Jesus is our victory over the grave and death, that is the devil, which as Paul teaches, who through fear of death were all our lifetime subject to bondage.

It is because of the foolishness taught from pulpits that most people have no concept of where their loved ones and friends are while absent from the flesh. They are not in some hole in the ground, rather in the presence of our Father God as we were taught from in Ecclesiastes 12:6-7. Every soul returns back unto our Father God who breathed the breath of life body into every soul created for His pleasure. This includes the good, the bad, the pretty and ugly [Luke 16:19-31]. Luke 8:55 says, “And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.” Spirit is the breath of life body that our Father God breathed into every flesh living soul. It is the inner man or spiritual body that instantly comes alive at the moment of one’s flesh death [I Corinthians - Chapter 15]. Do not just read over what Christ Jesus said to give the risen maiden. Christ Jesus said “give her meat”, not milk, but meat. And, once again through the teachings of Paul we learn, “For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.” “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil [Hebrews 5:13]”, or the difference between ignorance and understanding. It is truly evil to allow yourself to be steeped in the traditions of men rather than the truth of our Father God’s written Word. The evil one, satan, binds the ignorant and unlearned with misunderstanding and lies from generation unto generation. Thanks be unto our Father God who incarnated Himself in the person of Christ Jesus, and John teaches in John 1:14, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” You should show yourself approved unto our Father God by studying His written word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse, daily.

I Thessalonians 4:14 says, “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him”. Do not forget so soon Christ Jesus’ teaching concerning Lazarus which says, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.” When Christ Jesus was crucified, one of the malefactor’s crucified with Him said in Luke 23:42 & 43, “Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.” “And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” Christ Jesus said” Today”, not some future day; “Today, as in now or at the moment one sheds this fragile flesh domicile.” Peter teaches in I Peter 3:18, “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:” This Verse says it all concerning those who are asleep in the flesh. Those who are asleep are the equivalent of death in the flesh, however they are alive by the Spirit, that is the Spirit of our Father God. From Genesis we learn in Genesis 2:7, “And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Our Father God breathed into our flesh bodies the breath of life or spiritual body that immediately takes over at the moment of death of the flesh body. Paul teaches in I Corinthians 15:20, “But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept.” Verse 23 says, “But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.” Paul is teaching about two sets of people; those already passed from the flesh to the spirit realm, and those who remain alive unto the Second Coming of Christ Jesus. Did Paul say that Christ would rise? No, Paul teaches that Christ “is risen”, therefore the dead in the flesh are risen with Christ also, and anyone who remains alive until the Second Coming of Christ Jesus will immediately be transfigured into their spiritual bodies without ever having died in the flesh. I Peter 3:19 says, “By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;” This Verse is why I turned toward this particular teaching of Peter. Many believe that Christ Jesus was dead in the grave for three and one-half days, however Christ Jesus was not dead, because He is “Emmanuel”, meaning “God with us”, and satan, who is death, could not hold the Creator of the heavens and the earth, who is Christ Jesus. Peter teaches that Christ entered into satan’s domain and preached the Gospel unto the imprisoned spirits, or those who had died in the flesh before our Lord was born from above. Our Father God is always fair and just, and many righteous had died before the First Advent of Christ Jesus, although they prophesied of His Coming. All who had passed away prior to Christ Jesus’ First Appearance, including Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, Moses, Elijah, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and all the prophets and righteous as well as the unrighteous were told that their prophesies concerning Christ Jesus’ First Coming had been fulfilled. “Preached” is the Greek word “kerusso {kay-roos'-so}", meaning "to publish, proclaim openly: something which has been done, always with the suggestion of formality, gravity and an authority which must be listened to and obeyed. “

Christ Jesus said in John 5:24 & 25, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” “Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.” I Peter 3:20 says, “Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.” That is, eight Adamic souls whom Christ Jesus would be born through. Noah and his family had the only perfect pedigree as taught in our Father God’s Word and the Adamic people are the birth-line of Christ Jesus. Genesis 6:9 says, “These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man [and] perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God.”Perfect in his generations” means that Noah and his family had not been corrupted by mixing with the Nephilim, the fallen angels of Genesis – Chapter 6, as further explained in the Epistle of Jude. Our Father God also told Noah to take two of every flesh into the ark with himself, his wife, sons and daughters-in-laws and as is taught in Genesis 6:19, “And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every [sort] shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive with thee; they shall be male and female.” Our Father God is the same today, yesterday, and forever. Just as our Father God was patient and longsuffering in the days of Noah, He is as patient and longsuffering towards us today. Peter also teaches in II Peter 3:8 & 9, “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” It is our Father God’s loving will that all of His creation, created for His pleasure, comes unto the knowledge of the truth of His Holy Written Word. Therefore, understand the truth of this study which is that Father God would have all of us to understand where all those who have passed away in the flesh are. This should not be confused with satan’s lie of the rapture, any moment or fly-away of the church to escape his tribulation when he comes first in the place of or as instead of jesus.

I Peter 3:22 says, “Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.” Many people do not seem to realize that even satan at this time is in Heaven. There is no hell underneath and Heaven above as we were taught as children, and many pulpit gurus are so ignorant to continue this teaching even today. John teaches in the “Book of Revelation” unto the churches that satan will be cast to this earth from the heavenly realm when he comes disguised as the instead of jesus. Revelation 12: 7 – 9 says, “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,” “And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.” “ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:12 says, “Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” The vile one, satan’s deception on the earth as he who comes first to the earth as instead of jesus is a short time of five months [Revelation – Chapter 9].

I Peter 4:5 says, “Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.” Christ Jesus said in John 5:20 – 23, “For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.” “For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth [them]; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.” “For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:” “That all [men] should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.” Christ Jesus is the Way, the Truth, the Life, to the “Light of Everlasting Life” and no man comes unto the Father except through Christ Jesus. I Peter 4:6 says, “For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.” Our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus paid the penalty for our sins. Isaiah 53:5 & 6 says, “But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” Everyone, the dead in the flesh and the living at Christ Jesus’ return will not face the judgment seat of our Father God until "after" Christ Jesus’ Millennial or one thousand year reign upon the earth. All sins that anyone has not repented of will be held against them and must be accounted for at Father God’s Great White Throne Judgment [Revelation - Chapter 20]. Repent means to not only say you are sorry, it means to also change your ways so that you are pleasing to our Father God.

I Thessalonians 4:15 says, “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.” “Prevent" is “phthano {fthan'-o} in the Greek”, meaning “to come before, precede.” We, which are alive at the Second Coming of Christ Jesus will not come before or precede those asleep because they are already with our Lord. II Corinthians 5:1 says, “For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” “Eternal” is the Greek word “aionios {ahee-o'-nee-os}”, meaning “without beginning and end, that which always has been and always will be, never to cease, everlasting.” Christ Jesus said in John 14:2 & 3, “In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.”

I Thessalonians 4:16 says, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:” The dead in Christ Jesus are already risen and this can be witnessed in Paul’s teaching concerning the two bodies each of us are endowed with from our Father God. I Corinthians 15:52 says, “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” “Raised” in the Greek is “egeiro {eg-i'-ro}”, meaning “to cause to appear, bring before the public.” Paul taught in II Corinthians 5:7, “(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)?” When Christ Jesus entered satan’s domain and set the captives free, we are told through our Father God’s Word In Matthew 27:52 & 53, “And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,” “And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.” Faith in our Father God and in the resurrection of Christ Jesus brings us sight. We have our Father God’s Word to assure us that the dead in Christ Jesus are already in the presence of the Lord, and not in the grave. The grave holds only the flesh remains, however the soul and the breath of life or spiritual body returns unto Almighty God who gave it to one and all. “Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing.”

I Thessalonians 4:17 says, “Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” Remember Paul’s subject concerns those who have passed away [died] in the flesh; therefore, “caught up” means “to seize, carry off by force, to snatch out or away, to take from among the living, either by a natural death, or by violence, cause to cease, to take off or away what is attached to anything, to move from its place.” II Corinthians 5:1 says, “For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” “Clouds” is “nephos {nef'-os} in the Greek”, meaning “a large dense multitude, a throng.” A teaching of “cloud” is taught in Hebrews 12:1 which says, “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.”Air” in the Greek is “aer {ah-ayr'}” - "from aemi (to breathe unconsciously, i.e. respire; by analogy, to blow)". A teaching of “air” is taught in Genesis 2:7, which says, “And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”

If you are Biblically illiterate it is quite easy to see why "caught up" causes you so much difficulty in understanding Paul’s teaching. The rapture, any moment or flyaway of the church is construed from one of the meanings of "caught up", which is "to take off or away." However, in John’s teaching of the events that consummate the end of this Flesh of Second Earth Age, Revelation 12:15 says, “And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Therefore, if you do not follow Paul’s subject then you can be "carried away" by satan’s rapture, any moment or flyaway lie and be "caught up" in accepting his false role as the first christ that comes to the earth as the instead of jesus.

I Thessalonians 4:18 says, “Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” “Comfort” means “to refresh or cheer, given not only with words, but also by the experience of a happier lot or by a happy issue.” “Comfort” is the Greek word “parakaleo {par-ak-al-eh'-o}”, and its outline of Biblical Usage is as follows:
1) to call to one's side, call for, summon
2) to address, speak to, (call to, call upon), which may be done in the way of exhortation, entreaty, comfort, instruction, etc.
a) to admonish, exhort
b) to beg, entreat, beseech, pray
1) to strive to appease by entreaty
c) to console, to encourage and strengthen by consolation, to comfort
1) to receive consolation, be comforted
d) to encourage, strengthen
e) exhorting and comforting and encouraging
f) to instruct, teach

Therefore, Paul is exhorting us by way of instruction to comfort one another with words. Paul did not “teach those words” of the rapture, any moment or flyaway of the church. Paul has not mentioned any words pertaining to satan’s flood of lies that causes the ignorant to be carried away by the words “caught up” because they did not heed Paul’s subject of instruction, which is clearly taught in I Thessalonians 4:13 which says, “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.” Therefore, the words that Paul desires that we comfort one another with is found in understanding where the dead are, and in the fact that we will be reunited with them at the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ which is at the sounding of the Seventh Trumpet of Father God. This is the refreshing and the cheer not only given by Paul’s exhortation of comfort, but also by the happy lot and happy issue of the Coming of our Lord and being reunited with our family, other loved ones and friends. Best of all, to be in the presence of our Father God, restored and revived with the happy experience we once knew before the rebellion and subsequent overthrow of satan in the destruction of the Former or First Earth Age. “Caught Up” simply means, “we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

Rev 1:17 & 18 says, “And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:” “I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” “Hallelujah, Praise Ye YAH!!!”

STAND FOR FATHER GOD ALMIGHTY

CHRIST JESUS HAS FORETOLD US ALL THINGS:
NEITHER SHALL THEY SAY, LO HERE! OR, LO THERE!

It is imperative that people realize the time we are living in today and understand we are the generation who will see the Second Coming of Christ Jesus. Therefore, it is crucial that you know the events that usher in the Day of our Lord, the Seventh Trump being the time when Christ Jesus will return to the earth as "King of kings and Lord of lords, and set up His Millennial Kingdom. However, before the Seventh Trump, there are six events that we must endure before the great and notable Day of our Lord. One such event that is very important to understand is satan’s disguise as the instead of jesus or the anti-christ. The vile one’s disguise will precede the Second Coming of Christ Jesus which is when he shall attempt to deceive most of mankind into believing he is our True Christ, however he is the anti-christ, the instead of jesus, the first/false christ. Our Father God’s Word declares this is the way it shall be.

Luke 17:23 says, “And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after [them], nor follow [them].” Christ Jesus was demanded of the Pharisees to know when Father God’s Kingdom would come. Jesus answered in Luke 17:20 which says, “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:” “Observation” is “parateresis {par-at-ay'-ray-sis}” in the Greek, meaning “in such a manner that it can be watched with the eyes, i.e., in a visible manner.” It is derived from “paratereo {par-at-ay-reh'-o}”, which means, “to watch assiduously (with care and persistence), or to watch insidiously (intended to entrap, beguiling but harmful).” If you study our Father’s Word to know the events that usher in the Day of the Lord, then you shall watch for Jesus’ Second Coming with care and persistence and neglect nothing requisite for that Day. On the other hand, if you do not know the events that precede the Second Coming of Christ Jesus, then you will be beguiled by those events and become entrapped by the false doctrine that is rampant amongst the religious community of today. One such false doctrine is the rapture, any moment or flyaway of the church. As previously mentioned, there are six events that precede the Second Coming of Christ Jesus, however in accordance with His teachings, there is no mention of one of those events being the rapture, any moment or flyaway of the church before His returns at the Seventh Trump. Christ Jesus was asked by His disciples in Matthew 24:3 which says, “And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” Our Lord Jesus Christ answered as follows. Verse 4 & 5 {First Event} says, “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.” “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” Verse 6 & 7 {Second Event} says, “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:” Verse 7/con’t & 8 {Third Event} says, “and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.” “All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.” Verse 9 - 14 {Fourth Event} says, “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.” “And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.” “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Although you are being given specific Scripture for this particular study, it is very important that you read this entire Chapter. Verse 23 & 24 {Fifth Event} says, “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not.” “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Verse 32 - 34 {Sixth Event} says, “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh:” “So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors.” “Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” Christ Jesus has told us the six events that will precede His Second Coming and there is no mention of the rapture, any moment or flyaway of the church. However, Christ Jesus did say that one of the events was a false christ and a false prophet coming before His return, who would have the power to perform great miracles. That false christ and false prophet is satan as the anti-christ. And, Christ Jesus said that all six events would be fulfilled in our generation {The Generation of the Fig Tree} before the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age and His Second Coming. This “includes” satan’s deception as the anti-christ, and is the reason Christ Jesus told us in Luke 17:23, “And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after [them], nor follow [them].” Our Lord is forewarning us that satan as the anti-christ will deceive many into believing he is our True Christ, however he is the false christ, the instead of jesus. They will say that our Christ is here on the earth, however our Lord has told us in advance not to follow after or listen to them because they are Biblically illiterate and are being deceived by satan as the first/false christ.

Luke 17:33 says, “Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.” Seeking to save your life can also be called the rapture of the church. Those who believe this false teaching are taught they will magically fly away before the tribulation of the anti-christ [satan]. However, this is contrary to what Christ Jesus teaches concerning the six events that precede His Second Coming. Our Lord said in Matthew 24:29 - 31, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:” “And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” “And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” If you have the ability to comprehend what is read, then the rapture is not a viable option, since it has absolutely no credibility in light of the teachings of Christ Jesus. Our Lord said that He would not return to this earth until after the first tribulation as Matthew 24: 26 says, “Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe it not.” This is that great deception; the report of satan who comes first as anti-christ, who is instead of jesus, the fake, and this tribulation shall befall this generation we now live in.

Luke 17:34 says, “I tell you, in that night there shall be two [men] in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.” “That night” is “the night of Father God” and “it is satan’s deception as the anti-christ”, he who comes to this earth first as the instead of jesus. “Taken” is the Greek word “paralambano {par-al-am-ban'-o}, meaning, “to accept or acknowledge one to be such as he professes to be, to take with one in order to carry away.” Revelation 12:7 says, “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, Verse 8 says, “And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.” Verse 9 says, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Verse 15 says, “And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Carried away” sounds just like the rapture or flyaway false teaching; it is one of the flood of lies that satan will use to deceive the earth into believing he is our True Christ, when in fact, he is the vile, instead of jesus, that son of perdition.

Luke 17:35 says, “Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.” The one left is that one who is not deceived by satan’s disguise as the first/false christ to be cast to this earth. “Left” is in step with Jesus’ teaching in Luke 17:31 which says, “In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.” When satan is cast to this earth as the first/false christ, the anti-christ, he will come in peacefully and prosperously. Daniel teaches us concerning satan’s deception as the instead of jesus in Daniel 8:23 which says, “And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.” Verse 24 says, “And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.” Verse 25 says, “And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify [himself] in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.” The deception of satan as the anti-christ will be mighty in power because he will operate using a two-fold one world system that will be both political and religious in nature [Revelation – Chapter 13]. Paul teaches us that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against satan’s spiritual wickedness in high places [Ephesians 6:12]. The vile one, satan, will use any means necessary to deceive mankind into believing he is our True Christ here to any moment, rapture or fly away the Biblically illiterate. Economic, educational, political and religious chaos permeates this earth today, and when satan is cast to this earth as the anti-christ, he will deceive the ignorant masses into believing that he has come as the prince of peace to restore love and order to the world, economic equality for one and all. However, satan is he that is the deceiving prince of darkness as we are taught from Daniel’s prophesy. Christ Jesus has already foretold us that when we hear of wars and rumors of wars that the end of this Age is not yet. If satan comes to this earth fueling the political and religious flames of violence he will not deceive many into believing his disguise that he is our True Christ, instead of the first/false christ. Therefore, the opposite of war is peace, and this is exactly what Daniel teaches us in his prophecy for the end times concerning satan’s event as the anti-christ.

Luke 17:36 says, “Two [men] shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.” You have a choice to make, which is either to be taken or left in the field. Christ Jesus said in Luke 12:37, “Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.” If you are left in the field instead of taken and carried away with satan’s flood of lies, then you shall be the one left watching, working and waiting for the return of our True Bridegroom, Jesus Christ. The vile one, satan, will deceive most of mankind with his wicked devices of peace and prosperity, however our Lord said in Matthew 16:26, “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” The world will pass away and your righteous acts are the only things that you will carry into Father God’s Kingdom of the Eternal Age. Faith without works is dead, therefore, it is crucial to your eternal soul to stand on watch against satan’s temptation of peace and prosperity, masked in his one world system of political and religious unity. Remember Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego who refused to bow a knee to the image Nebuchadnezzar set up, which is an example for us living in these end times. The vile one, satan, will set up an image celebrating his beastly one world system of religion and politics, and just like Nebuchadnezzar, command that all the earth worship him by bowing a knee to him as the first/false christ. However, as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, the one left in the field will proclaim by their continual vigil of watching, working, standing and waiting. “Be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up [Daniel – Chapter 3 {18}.

Luke 17:37 says, “And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body [is], thither will the eagles be gathered together.” Christ’s disciples were inquiring of Him where are the ones taken, and Jesus did not respond that they would rapture or flyaway. Hear and understand what Christ Jesus said, “Wheresoever the body [is], thither will the eagles be gathered together.” In other words, “For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together [Matthew 24:28].” Eagles are from the vulture family that feasts upon dead flesh, therefore, that is where they gather. Here, Christ Jesus is revealing to us a specific time that this event will take place and it involves the ones taken, that is, the ones taken into deception by satan as the anti-christ, who are spiritually dead. The timeframe that Christ Jesus is directing us to is recorded in the Book of Revelation.

Revelation 11:3 says, “And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.” Prophecy given in days is always indicative of our Father God’s children or the children of the light. Sackcloth was usually worn in mourning, and the two witnesses are mourning the desecration of the Jerusalem temple when satan will inhabit it as the anti-christ, pretending to be our True Christ, and those deceived upon the earth by his disguise will worship him as such. Our Lord foretold us of this time when He said in Luke 21:6, “[As for] these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” However, there is good news for the children of the light {very elect}, those who are not deceived by satan as the first/false christ. We are also taught that after the temple is destroyed because of satan’s abomination as the instead of jesus in Revelation 21:22, “And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.”

Revelation 11:4 says, “These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.” Remember Jesus Christ revealed unto John that the "candlesticks” are the “seven churches.” Out of these seven churches, which are indicative of the churches of today world-wide, our Father God was only pleased with two, being the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia because of the doctrine they taught. Both churches know that satan will come first to the earth as the anti-christ, an event that precedes the Second Coming of Christ Jesus. Neither church taught the false doctrine of the rapture, any moment or flyaway of the churches before the appearance of satan and his tribulation as the first/false christ. The “two olive trees” are the ‘two witnesses” {God’s anointed ones} that will be here on this earth, along with the two candlesticks {churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia, which are Father God’s very elect} to teach and keep the testimony of Christ Jesus. This is the teachings of Paul to us concerning the occurrences before the Day of our Lord or the Second Coming of Christ Jesus.

II Thessalonians 2:1 - 4 says, Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him,” “That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.” “Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;” “Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” Even in the midst of the son of perdition, who is satan, deceiving the earth with his abomination that he is our True Christ, the two witnesses will empty the golden oil out of themselves, which is the truth that the five wise virgins knew about satan as the first/false christ, and did not go whoring {spiritually speaking} after him. This knowledge allowed them to remain faithful virgins awaiting the return of their True Bridegroom, Christ Jesus, who will not appear again on this earth until after satan’s desecration of the Jerusalem temple as the anti-christ [Zechariah – Chapter 4 & Matthew 25:1-13].

Revelation 11:7 says, “And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.” Our Father told satan in Psalms 105:15, “[Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.” This is why satan is the only entity of perdition or, the only entity at this present time judged and sentenced to death of his soul, because after his fall from Father’s grace, he has always been and will always be the son of disobedience and destruction. This is spiritual warfare between our Father God and satan and do not allow yourself to be beguiled by satan as he did Eve {Adam} in the Garden of Eden. Paul teaches in II Corinthians 11:2, “For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ.” Paul penned, by the blessings of Father God’s Holy Spirit, most of the New Testament of the Holy Bible; therefore, giving him credentials that he was of the very elect of Father God. We should remember Paul from his revelation on the Damascus Road, wherein our Father God said Paul was a chosen vessel unto Him, just like the two witnesses and the two candlesticks. Our Father said to Paul in Acts 9:5, “And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: [it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks [Acts 26:14].” Therefore, Paul would not kick against the pricks in his teachings to us, rather he would denounce the false doctrine of deception of unfaithful children in these end times. Chaste virgins are those who know that satan will be cast to this earth as the anti-christ before the Day of our Lord, and that there is no rapture, any moment or flyaway of the church before satan’s deception. II Corinthians 11:3 says, “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” Paul is comparing the sexual fornication of Eve with satan to the spiritual fornication of those who believe in the rapture, any moment or flyaway of the church before the tribulation of satan as the anti-christ. Verse 4 says, “For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].” Another jesus is satan’s deception as the anti-christ, the first/false christ that will be cast to the earth before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The gospel of satan that precedes his deception as the anti-christ is the rapture, any moment or flyaway of the church. Our Father God said concerning the teachings of the fly-away doctrine in Ezekiel 13:20, “Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make [them] fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, [even] the souls that ye hunt to make [them] fly.” II Corinthians 11:13 says, “For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.” Our Lord said that in the times preceding His Second Coming in Matthew 24:5 “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” Look around, wake up and see all of the television evangelists, ministers, prophets/prophetess’, bishops, reverends, preachers, teachers; all of the pulpit gurus who are speaking from their own hearts concerning the events of the end times. II Corinthians 11:14 says, “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” Make no mistake about it; satan will come disguised as another jesus, the anti-christ or he that comes in the place of our Christ Jesus, before the Second Coming of our Lord. Verse 15 says, “Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” You can either believe in the teachings of Christ Jesus and Paul or listen to the false teachings of the false religious leaders. Our Lord and Paul have both laid out for us the events that usher in the Day of our Lord, and both have stated that satan will be cast to this earth first as the false christ. Neither have taught anything in reference to the rapture, any moment or flyaway of the church before satan’s deception as the first/false christ.

Revelation 11:8 & 9 says, “And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.” “And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.” The testimony of Christ Jesus is in the spirit of prophecy, and these Verses are prophecy being fulfilled as taught by David in Psalms 79:1 - 3 which says, “[[A Psalm of Asaph.]] O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.” “The dead bodies of thy servants have they given [to be] meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.” “Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and [there was] none to bury [them].” Our Father God has revealed unto us all the events that usher in the Second Coming of Christ Jesus for those who seek Him with their whole heart.

Revelation 11:10 says, “And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.” The two witnesses will be a torment to those deceived into believing satan’s deception as the first christ cast to this earth. He is the false christ or the anti-christ, which means he who comes instead of or in the place of Christ Jesus. Our Lord said in John 16:2 & 3, “They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.” “And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.”

Revelation 11:11 says, “And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.” The rejoicing of the earth will be short lived; satan’s deception as the first/false christ is about to be exposed. Those deceived will be praying for rocks and mountains to fall on them, and even seeking death to hide their shame from our True Christ and this is the fear that overtakes them because now they realize they have been had by satan’s deception. Isaiah 14:16 & 17 says, “They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, [and] consider thee, [saying, Is] this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;” “[That] made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; [that] opened not the house of his prisoners?” Ignorance, rebellion and stubbornness causes you to stay steeped in man’s traditions and satan’s deception taught as doctrine, and the remedy for that ignorance is studying Father God’s word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse, daily, for yourself. [Keep in mind the three days and a half, after which the two witnesses are revived.]

Revelation 11:12 says, “And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.” This is the only rapture, any moment or flyaway the church will ever experience, and it occurs to the two witnesses and not the church body. Also, note that the two witnesses are on the earth the same time as satan in disguise as the first/false christ, murdered because of their tormenting testimony against his deception, and their deceased bodies lie in public view for a period of three days and a half. This should call to your mind what satan inspired his children to do when Christ Jesus was removed from the cross, buried, however not yet risen from His earthly tomb. Matthew 28:62 – 66 says, “Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,” “Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.” “Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.” “Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make [it] as sure as ye can.” “So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.” This time satan and his followers, even the deceived christians that accept his disguise as the first/false christ, will see the two witnesses arise from the dead and ascend to Father God in the Heavens. Revelation 1:7 says, “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wait because of him. Even so, Amen.” Today, we had better make our watch as sure as we can so that we can "stand" against satan's deception as the first/false christ who will be cast to this earth before our True Vine, Christ Jesus' Second Coming.

Revelation 11:13 says, “And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.” These “seven thousand” that are slain “are the Nephilim [fallen angels] of Genesis – Chapter 6”, who chose to impregnate the womb of woman rather than to be born through the womb of woman as commanded by our Father God, which means to be born from above [they were not], and not born again [John – Chapter 3]. These are satan’s band of fallen angels who sought to pollute the bloodline of Christ Jesus just like satan attempted to do when he impregnated the womb of Eve with his offspring Cain [Genesis – Chapter 3]. Affrighted” in the Greek is “emphobos {em'-fob-os}”, meaning, “the remnant or those not deceived by satan as the anti-christ, have inspiring reverence and love for that which is about to happen simultaneously with the resurrection of the two witnesses.”

Revelation 11:14 says, “The second woe is past; [and], behold, the third woe cometh quickly.” The first woe is satan cast to this earth as the first/false christ, which is a test for those upon the earth by which Father God measures our faithfulness and love for Him. Also, satan’s deception will reveal those who studied our Father God’s word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse as compared to those who did not, therefore, unable to heed the forewarnings of Christ Jesus concerning His Second Coming. The second woe is the death of the two witnesses, which the deceived rejoice over. And, the next Verse reveals the third woe that comes quickly, which is the Second Coming of Christ Jesus.

Revelation 11:15 says, “And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become [the kingdoms] of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.” Our Father is so very good to us, His children. Even though no one knows the exact hour that Christ Jesus will return, our Father God has given us seasons or events that usher in Christ’s Second Visitation to this earth. At the same time the two witnesses are revived to ascend unto our Almighty God of Heaven, Christ Jesus will return for His faithful, virgin bride {wife/very elect}, those not deceived by satan’s deception as the first/false christ. Will you be ready by finishing your course because you kept your watch, or will you be one that Christ Jesus will say unto: “depart from me, ye that work iniquity, I never knew you?”

II Timothy 4:7 & 8 says, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith:” “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” Amen, Amen!!!

Yours In Christ,
I Bid You Peace

CHRIST JESUS SAID:

"I NEVER KNEW YOU"

Paul teaches, “for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed [Romans 13:11].” We are living in the end times and it is nearer than most believe. It is important for the entire world to know the difference between Jesus Christ and instead of jesus christ [satan]. People who claim to be “born again” are always asking others who they meet and greet in the street, “are you saved, do you know our LORD?” It is my contention that we as individuals need to spend more of our time, not asking others, rather truly asking ourselves if we know our LORD. It is a love thing, which means saying, “I love our LORD”, is also saying, “I love His Word.” David teaches, “For You have magnified Your word above Your name [Psalms 138:2]”, because Father God is His Word; “Jesus, Emmanuel”, meaning “God with us.” John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Verse 14 says, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” Therefore, to love Father God is to love His Word, equally, meaning every day I love our LORD and His Word, therefore, studying His Word daily, Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse. Then, truly I show those I meet and greet in the street that, “yes, I love our LORD because I know Him.” Christ Jesus said in Matthew 5:14, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.” Verse 15 says, “Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.” Verse 16 says, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” “Father God, Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path [Psalms 119:105].” We need to be able to tell someone the difference between Jesus Christ and instead of jesus christ [satan]. This is only possible if we know the difference ourselves. Can you imagine sitting on a church pew all of your life believing that you knew our LORD, only to have Christ Jesus at His Second Coming say, “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity [Matthew 7:23].” Christ Jesus has already told us why He would say, “I never knew you”, but let us understand what “ye that work iniquity” truly means. Matthew 7:21 says, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Our Lord taught a parable on this wise in Matthew 21:28 which says, “But what think ye? A [certain] man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.” Verse 29 says, “He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.” Verse 30 says “”And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.” Verse 31 says, “Whether of them twain did the will of [his] father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.” Christ Jesus makes it clear in this teaching that the ones in the street will eventually do His will, however the church attendees will not. Realizing the truth is what our Father God wills, meaning you need to know the difference between Jesus Christ’s Second Advent and satan’s event as the instead of jesus christ. Most attending church buildings believe that they are pleasing to our Father God for such service, however Jesus’ parable reveals a different truth. It is imperative to know the time of Jesus’ Second Visitation to this earth, and the event which comes before that time.

Matthew 7:22 says, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?” Christ Jesus foretold us of the many that would come in His name, as pastors, reverends, preachers, teachers, evangelists, ministers, pulpit gurus in every shape and form and this is one of the signs that precede His Second Advent. Matthew 24:3 says, “And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” Verse 4 says, “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.” Verse 5 says, “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” Many will say I am an ambassador for Christ, and tell you their church is a Bible based church, however cannot reveal unto us the seven events that consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age; the Seventh {Trump, Seal, Vial} being Jesus’ Second Advent, or the Day of our Lord.

Matthew 7:23 says, “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. “Never”, meaning, “ever; at no time in the past or future; at all; certainly not in any circumstances.” I would equate this Verse to a boxing match and ye that work iniquity are knocked out in the first few seconds of the first round. It is important to remember that Christ Jesus is making this statement to those who will say, “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works.” “I never knew you”, not in or under any circumstances, at no time in the past or future. “Iniquity” is the condition of being ignorant of the seven events that consummate the end of this Flesh Age and unaware of the difference between Jesus Christ and instead of jesus christ, satan in disguise of Jesus’ Second Advent. Verse 24 says, “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:” Christ Jesus taught us the seven events that bring about the end of this Age ushering in His Second Advent, the Day of our Lord or the Millennial Reign, which is Jesus’ one thousand year reign upon the earth, as King over His dominion. A wise man, which built his house upon a rock, knows our Rock is Jesus Christ, and a wise man knows that the false rock, satan, is not our “King of kings and Lord of lords.” A wise man knows that satan is cast to this earth at the Sixth Trump to disguise himself as the false jesus, however Jesus Christ will not return to this earth until the Seventh Trump. Verse 25 says, “And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.” The flood of the end times is not an overflowing of water, but the lies from the mouth of satan that deluge the ignorant. The ignorant being those who say, “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?” Being founded upon our Rock, Christ Jesus, is a foundation built upon the truth, having the knowledge of the seven events that bring the Flesh Age to a close. This is the shelter from satan’s flood of lies that he is jesus christ returning to rapture, any moment [fly away] those who claimed to prophesy, cast out devils, and have done many wonderful works in Jesus’ name.

Matthew 7:26 says, “And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:” Christ Jesus forewarns us that satan will be cast to the earth in disguise as the false christ. Matthew 24:23 says, “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not. Verse 24 says, “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Verse 25 says, “Behold, I have told you before.” Remember the ten virgins, five were wise and five were foolish. The five wise virgins built their house upon our Rock, our True Christ, and not the flood of lies of the false christ, satan. The five foolish virgins wed the first christ cast to the earth, satan as the instead of jesus. They did not heed Jesus’ teaching, “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not.”

Matthew 7:27 says, “And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.” I Corinthians 3:11 says, “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” Christ Jesus also warned us of the flood for the end times, which is satan’s deception of lies that he is jesus returning to the earth to rapture the ignorant, which are the foolish. Revelation 12:7 says, “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,” Verse 8 says, “And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.” Verse 9 says, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Verse 15 says, “And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Verse 16 says, “And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.” Verse 17 says, “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” The testimony of Jesus Christ is for the wise who heed the truth that Christ Jesus forewarned us about, which is satan being cast to this earth in disguise as the false christ. The flood that the serpent, satan, cast out of his mouth is that he is jesus, and his flyaway [rapture] lie.

Matthew 7:28 says, “And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:” The people “astonished at his doctrine” will not include those to whom Christ Jesus will say, “I never knew you.” It will be the ones who prophesied, cast out devils, and many other works in the instead of jesus’ name because they did not realize the time of Jesus’ True Visitation, His Second Advent, which will happen after satan’s event as the false christ.

Matthew 7:29 says, “For he taught them as [one] having authority, and not as the scribes.” The scribes annulled the commandments of Almighty God for the sake of their own traditions. Christ Jesus said in Matthew 15:8, “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.” Verse 9 says, “But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.” “Teaching for doctrines the commandments of men” will cause one to bow a knee to satan in his disguise as the false christ. This is the iniquity that Christ Jesus said would cause Him to say to those guilty of the offence, “I never knew you.” This means, at no time in the past or future; at all; certainly not in any circumstances, not in the circumstances of prophesying, healing, or any other works. Luke 12:56 says, “[Ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? “Ask, Seek, Knock – Amen Amen!”

Yours In Christ,
I Bid You Peace

MAY THROUGH SEPTEMBER

“The Reign of satan as the anti-christ”
“The first/false jesus”

The very elect will not cease to reiterate that satan will be cast to this earth for a five month period as the anti-christ, fake/false jesus, the spurious messiah or the instead of jesus. Jesus said in Matthew 24:20 “But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:” Verse 21 says, “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Our exodus from the flesh to the Millennial Reign of Christ Jesus upon this earth will be much like that recorded in the “Book of Exodus.” Christ Jesus has forewarned us that winter is the time of one harvested out of season. Our Lord said in Luke 21:29 “Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;” Verse 30 says, “When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.” "The annual climate of Egypt consists of five months of summer from May to September. Because of the large size in the numbers of people who moved out of Egypt at the time of the Exodus, taking all their belongings with them, and the need to camp outdoors, one surmises that they traveled during the better months as far as climate is concerned. So the sensible time to move out would be during the dry summer months, somewhere between May and September." If any are deceived by satan’s five month reign of terror from May through September as the instead of jesus, then Jesus’ Great Tribulation will descend upon them. This will be all those who wed the false christ and “Yeshuah, Jesus Christ” will say to those deceived, “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity [Matthew 7:23]. Christ Jesus has also forewarned us that before our summer exodus, satan will reign as the first/false christ, and then our True Bridegroom, Jesus Christ Himself, shall return for His virgin bride/wife [Matthew 24:23 – 35].

Our Father God wills that we remain faithful virgins unto the Second Coming of His Beloved Son, Christ Jesus, and for this reason He is longsuffering {patient}, forbearing, merciful and loving, however also a Jealous Father God and He has stated this in His Word more than once. Exodus 20:5 says, “Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;” The sins of the fathers and mothers do not carry from generation unto generation unless the children continue to follow the bad choices of their parents, therefore are, “of them that hate me.” Our Father God is always fair and just, and rewards people in accordance to their individual actions, whether they are for or against His word [Ezekiel – Chapters 18 & 33].

Exodus 34:14 says, “For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous God:” Our Father is jealous in the sense of having no rivals, meaning, no one being in comparison to His power, majesty or glory, or deserving of our Father God’s status. All souls belong unto our Father God and each soul was created to please Him [Revelation 4:11]. “Jealous” also means “to provoke or tempt” as the children did in the wilderness [Psalms – Chapter 95], and as satan attempted with babble to tempt Christ Jesus, who is our Living Word [Luke 4:1 – 13], these things serving as our example in these end times of how to avoid satan’s temptation as the instead of jesus when he is cast to this earth to deceive all those without the Seal of Father God’s Word within their minds.

Deuteronomy 4:24 says, “For the LORD thy God [is] a consuming fire, [even] a jealous God.” “Consuming Fire” is “the splendor and brightness of our LORD”, and our Father God can permeate us with the warmth of His precious Holy Spirit as He did Jeremiah [Jeremiah 20:9], or, our Father God can kindle anger against our disobedience and rebellion towards Him [II Peter 3:7]. Deuteronomy 5:9 says, “Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me,” “Of them that hate me” are those who do not study to show themselves approved of Almighty God; those who do not know the difference between Jesus Christ’s Second Coming and satan’s disguise/deception as the instead of jesus. “Of them that hate me” are also those who do not know that satan will have a five month reign upon this earth with his locust army [fallen angels], which will occur during the summer months of harvest, which is May through September. “Of them that hate me” are further those who believe in the rapture, any moment or flyaway doctrine, which is a lie of satan’s and a part of his deception as the instead of jesus [Ezekiel 13:20]. Deuteronomy 6:15 says, “(For the LORD thy God [is] a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.” Our Father God is a merciful God, for only a faithful, loving and loyal Parent would give up His life on a cross for His children’s love, faithfulness and loyalty in return. Paul teaches us that our Father’s will is that all of His creation come to acknowledge the Truth of His word and be saved [I Timothy – Chapter 2]. One truth is that satan will be cast to the earth for a five-month period disguised as the false christ between the summer months of May through September.

Joshua 24:19 says, “And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he [is] an holy God; he [is] a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.” Joshua is actually saying, instead of, “ye cannot serve the LORD”, that you “chose not to serve the Lord”, because serving our Father God requires discipline and study of His Word, Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse, daily. Our best defense against satan’s offence, which is his abomination as the instead of jesus, is to be armed with wisdom, knowledge and instruction in our Father God’s Word of Truth.

Our “Father is jealous over us with a godly jealousy”, because He deserves our love, faithfulness and reverence, not any other such as satan in his deceptive role as the false christ. The vile one, satan did not die upon the cross for us, rather he crucified our Lord; he and his offspring [John – Chapter 8], the kenites. Therefore, our Lord has the right to be jealous over that created for His pleasure and whom He redeemed with His shed blood.

“Godly Jealousy” is “fervent in spirit, said of zeal for what is good, excitement of mind, ardour, fervour of spirit, zeal, ardour in embracing, pursuing, defending anything; Zeal in behalf of, for a person or thing, an envious and contentious rivalry.” We are embraced in a spiritual warfare between our Father God and satan. We must stand against satan’s destructive deception as the instead of jesus through the Holy Spirit, which is the wisdom and knowledge of our Father God [I Corinthians – Chapter 2] through His Precious Word.

Paul teaches in II Corinthians 11:2, “For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ.” Our espoused husband, Christ Jesus, will not return for His virgin bride {wife/mankind} until after satan’s disguise as the instead of jesus with his locust army, which is a reign of five months, May through September. Verse 3 says, “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” “Beguiled” means “to be wholly seduced, mind and body.” Christ warned us against this when He said in Matthew 24:19, “And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!” Eve was wholly seduced by satan and was found with satan’s seed, his child, Cain.

Genesis 3:14 says, “And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou [art] cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:” Verse 15 says, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed.” Father God’s children and satan’s children, the kenites, will always be mortal enemies, unless satan’s children repent and convert. This fact is established with Cain’s [the first murderer, son of satan] killing of Abel and Christ Jesus substantiates this in John 8:44 which says, “Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

Paul teaches in II Corinthians 11:4 which says, “For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].” Christ Jesus also forewarned us of this other jesus, satan as the instead of jesus, when He taught in Matthew 24:23 which says, “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not.” Verse 24 says, “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” There is only one entity wise, conniving and deceptive enough to disguise himself as instead of jesus, and that one entity is satan. No other flesh being has supernatural capabilities to perform great signs and wonders, and satan is much too prideful to allow any other entity to steal his lightening [Luke 10:18 & 19]. Therefore, you have to conclude this false christ would have to be cast to this earth from Heaven and not be encompassed in any flesh being now existing on the earth.

Revelation 12:7 says, “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,” Dragon is just another of satan’s names. Most people do not act as if they realize satan resides in the Heavenly realm. After Jesus’ temptation by the devil, another of satan’s names, in the wilderness, Christ said to satan in Matthew 4:10, “Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” Christ Jesus sent satan in a Heavenly direction to be bodily chained by Michael. Presently, the earth deals with his evil spirit, just as we have the presence of our Father’s Holy Spirit, however at the appointed time, May through September; satan will be cast de facto [bodily] to the earth to play his final role as fake jesus. Revelation 12:8 says, “And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.” If you have comprehension skills, this Verse is self-explanatory. Heaven has no place for satan’s presence anymore because satan's role as instead of jesus is one of the signs that consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age and the evil elements thereof [II Peter 3:10]. At Father God’s appointed time, May through September, satan will be cast to the earth as the instead of jesus. Just as he did not prevail in Heaven against Michael, he does not have to prevail against the earth [mankind] with his deceptive role as fake jesus. You just have to heed our Father God’s instructions of how to defend yourself against satan’s offensive abomination as the instead of jesus or the first/false christ [Ephesians 6:10 – 18]. Revelation 12:9 says, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” This Verse substantiates that satan has as many names as he has had roles that he used to deceive our Father’s children. The Heavens will rejoice that satan is cast down from that realm, however the earth and its inhabitants will be in “woe and great mourning [Revelation 12:12].” The vile one, satan and his angels are his locust army as referred to by John, as well as the prophet Joel.

Revelation 9:1 says, “And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.” Verse 2 says, “And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.” Verse 3 says, “And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.” Verse 4 says, “And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.” Verse 5 says, “And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment [was] as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.”

This star that falls from Heaven unto the earth is satan, whereupon he assumes his final role as instead of jesus. The one who has the key that opens the bottomless pit is Michael, that archangel that wars with satan and casts him to the earth as we learned previously. The vile one’s [satan] locusts army accompanies him to the earth and torments those who do not realize that he is the instead of jesus, for the five months, May through September, that he is allowed to reign as the fake christ. Paul teaches us not to marvel that satan and his locusts army transform or disguise themselves as an angel of light [satan] and ministers of righteousness [fallen angels] because we have already been forewarned that they will torment the world upon being cast to this earth [II Corinthians 11:13 – 15]. “Torment” means “to be tortured, anguished, harassed or distressed, figuratively to test the purity of one in the face of conflict or tribulation.” The anti-christ [satan] will take away the thought processes of people, digesting their minds as the scorpion digests its prey, so they willingly accept his deceptions and lies until there is nothing of a true spiritual nature left [no backbone] within them. Our LORD shortened the time of satan and his locust army’s [satan’s fallen angels] torment with his tribulation period to five months [Matthew 24:22 & Mark 13:20], which is May through September, from Passover to the Feast of Tabernacles. Our Lord Jesus Christ was “conceived in December” and “born during the Feast of Tabernacles {September}”, and His return to this earth, the Second Advent, shall be at that same time. This is not a coincidence. So the sons and daughters of satan shall not physically kill anyone since this is not permitted by our Father, as well as the fact that this is a spiritual war of twisted Scriptures, deceptions, lies and supernatural acts since satan will look as Christ Jesus and the fallen angels as ministers or righteousness. In his disobedience however, that son of perdition does slay the two witnesses [Revelation – Chapter 11{7}] and woe unto him who is doomed to burn from within since he has been judged by Father God to become ashes from within. The Seal of Father God in your forehead is to understand from the “Old through the New Testaments”, wherein it is taught, “Behold, I have foretold you before, all things.” As this Flesh or Second Age nears its end, and the spiritual warfare begins, all the people of this earth shall be a part of this “First Tribulation”, no flights out [rapture] for the churches, and it shall be devastating to the Biblically illiterate, notably those calling themselves christians. Genesis 7:24 says, “And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.” This “hundred and fifth days” is the same “five months” that shall be upon the latter days of this generation. Only this shall be a flood that destroys with the lies and deceit of satan [the flood being the words spoken by satan out of his mouth] and his locust army [fallen angels] when he shall rule upon this earth as instead of jesus coming to rapture the churches away. Recall the vision of Daniel in Chapter 8 which was prophecy as he was told, “Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end [shall be] {Verse 19}.” Daniel 8:23 – 25 tells of satan coming in his deception upon this Generation of the Fig Tree as the first/ false christ, deceiving most of the world into believing he is our True Christ. He shall come peacefully and prosperously, destroying those not having the Seal of Almighty God; Truth, within their minds, remarkably. This is why you should have the ark of divine wisdom within your mind as Paul taught in I Corinthians 11:10 which says, “For this cause ought the woman to have power on [her] head because of the angels.” The “covering of a woman’s head” is “the veil {truth} of Christ Jesus” to protect “her”, being “mankind”, from spiritual seduction and deceptive lies of the fallen angels [Matthew 24:37 – 39]. Not coming to the Truth of Father God’s Word until you actually see our Lord Jesus Christ returning as “King of kings and Lord of lords” is tragic because although your flesh will change into its spiritual body, your “soul shall remain mortal”, which means, “liable to die”, being the “Second Death” for all who do not come to love Father God and His Beloved Son during and after the Millennial Kingdom teaching, since satan shall be loosed for a short time thereafter to test those first deceived {Second Resurrection}. This is taught in Revelation 20:3 which says, “And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.” Christ Jesus forewarned Father God’s very elect so they understand these things must occur. This is why all souls were “born from above.” To chose to love and follow Father God or allow yourself to be deceived by the vile one, satan, bowing down and magnifying him in your ignorance.

Joel 1:1 says, “The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.” Verse 2 says, “Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?” Verse 3 says, “Tell ye your children of it, and [let] your children [tell] their children, and their children another generation.” Verse 4 says, “That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten. Verse 6 says, “For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth [are] the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.” Our Father is forewarning every inhabitant of the earth from the old to the young of satan and his locust army [fallen angels] and the torment they will inflict once cast to this earth. Anyone who is not versed in the Word of our Father God will be entirely devoured {spiritually speaking} by satan’s disguise as the instead of jesus and his locust army as ministers of righteousness. None dwelling upon the earth will be left untouched by satan and his locust army just as no tree, fruit or green thing is left behind after a locust attack. Figuratively, this is why our Father has told us about the “palmerworm, the caterpiller, the cankerworm and the locust”, different species appearing in different regions around the world. Our Father forewarns that the locusts [fallen angels] are a nation that will swarm and devour the earth [mankind], and we are taught of the same description in John’s revelation. Revelation 9:7 says, “And the shapes of the locusts [were] like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads [were] as it were crowns like gold, and their faces [were] as the faces of men.” Verse 8 says, “And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as [the teeth] of lions.” Verse 9 says, “And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.” This will be a time of spiritual warfare and we will be in battle against some mighty warriors and if you are not as the very elect who have the seal of truth within their minds, which is knowledge of Father’s Word, you place your very soul at risk. We are also taught that during the days of satan’s five-month reign upon the earth as fake jesus with his locust army, that most of mankind will seek death and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. Death is another of satan’s names and he will be here on the earth deceiving those who do not study the truth of Father’s Word to stand against his deception. Also, in the days of satan’s deception, Christ Jesus will return and as we also learn from John’s revelation, “He will come with the cup of Almighty God’s wrath and who shall be able to stand?” [Revelation 6:12 – 17]. The only ones to stand will be those versed in the Truth of the Word of our Father God, and as Paul teaches, “have put on the whole armor of God that one may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” That is, satan and his locust army disguised as the instead of jesus and the ministers of the false christ.

[NOTE: The attack of the locusts was the “eighth” plague that our Father God sent upon the Egyptians and “eight” in Biblical Numbers means “New Beginnings, New Birth or New Creation.” Both Isaiah and John teach of the “New Beginnings/Birth/Creation” in Isaiah 65:17 which says, “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.” Revelation 21:1 says, “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.”]

“Grace [be] with all them who love our Father God Almighty and Christ Jesus in sincerity.” Amen Amen!!!

“JESUS” - OR - instead of jesus [satan, the anti-christ]

These are the latter or last days and there are “Seven Events” that consummate the “end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age.” One of the major events or signs that Jesus’ Second Advent is very near, even knocking at the doors, is the coming of the instead of jesus, satan as the anti-christ, which precedes the Second Coming of Christ Jesus. Our Lord taught us the signs of the end times in Matthew – Chapter 24, Mark - Chapter 13 & Luke - Chapters 17 & 21. There is only one way to avoid the deception of satan as the instead of jesus, the anti-christ, and that is by studying our Father’s Word so you are not a part of “the deception, the famine of the end times and bowing down to the false christ when he is cast to this earth to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind.”

Mark 13:3 says, “And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,” The Mount of Olives, from which our Savior ascended, is the place where Christ will again descend at His Second Coming. Zechariah 14:3 says, “Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.” Verse 4 says, “And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which [is] before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, [and there shall be] a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.” This is the valley of decision or judgment where Christ Jesus will divide the sheep {very elect} from the goats [deceived by the false christ, satan]. Matthew 25:32 says, “And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats: Verse 33 says, “And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.”

Mark 13:4 says, “Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? From the previous Verse we learned that Peter, James, John and Andrew asked Christ Jesus privately about the events/signs of His Second Coming. Privately, as in the sense of an interpretation wherein you thinks out for yourself by pondering or meditating upon a matter. Luke 10:23 says, “And he turned him unto [his] disciples, and said privately, Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that ye see:” Verse 24 says, “For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard [them].” Jesus’ teachings in Luke allows us to understand that these events/signs would happen in our time, not the time of the prophets and kings, however the latter days and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of this Age are to come.

“Disciple” is “mathetes {math-ay-tes'}” in the Greek, meaning, “a pupil or one eager to follow the teachings of another, learning by use and practice.” “Use” and “Practice” are two very important words to one desiring “to be a disciple of Christ Jesus.” Paul teaches in Hebrews 5:14 which says, “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” “Strong meat” is what a mature student of Father God’s Word requires “to be a disciple of Jesus’ private teachings.” “Use” and “Practice" discloses the meaning of disciple as “one who learns”, and Paul used “Exercised” in place of “Practice.” Paul stresses our senses are exercised as an analogy to the exercise of our physical bodies. “Senses” is “aistheterion {ahee-sthay-tay'-ree-on}” in the Greek, meaning, “the faculty of the mind for perceiving, understanding, discerning, achieved by exercise, practice, and/or use.” You will “lose” if these “senses” are not used, and in this case, “lose out” on obtaining an intimate relationship with Christ Jesus that is required to be a disciple of His private teachings.

Mark 13:5 says, “And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any [man] deceive you:” This is the first sign disclosed in Jesus’ teaching to His disciples, “to be on guard against deception.” “Deceive” in the Greek is “planao {plan-ah'-o}”, meaning, “apostasy or a falling away from the truth or real thing.” Paul teaches about the “apostasy” of the end or latter days, being this generation, which would make you a follower of the instead of jesus, satan. II Thessalonians 2:1 says, “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him,” Paul is guiding our attention to a specific time, that of the Second Coming of Christ Jesus. At Christ’s First Advent He came as the Lamb of God to be offered for the sins of many, however “Christ’s Second Coming/Advent” will not be as the Lamb slain, rather to establish Himself “as King of kings and Lord of lords” [Hebrews 9:28]. Christ Jesus will have the cup of the wrath of Almighty Father God, that same cup He prayed would pass from Him just prior to His Passion of the cross [Matthew 26:39, 42 & 44]. Verse 2 says, “That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.” When you study our Father’s Word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse as commanded by our Almighty God, then you will not be shaken and/or troubled concerning the Second Coming/Advent of Christ Jesus. Confusion is overshadowed by complete knowledge and understanding. Paul teaches in another of his Epistles thusly. Romans 13:11 says, “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.” Verse 12 says, “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.

II Thessalonians 2:3 says, “Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;” Paul is warning against deception the same as Christ Jesus in His private teaching to His disciples did. Paul also discloses to us who the man is causing the deception prior to the Day of the Lord as, [1] that man of sin and [2] the son of perdition. Christ Jesus said do not be deceived by any man, especially and including "that man of sin and/or the son of perdition", “satan as the instead of jesus.” Verse 4 says, “Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” Isaiah teaches us thusly concerning that man of sin and the son of perdition [satan]. Isaiah 14:12 says, “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!” “Lucifer” is another of satan’s names, and means, “morning star or son of the morning.” This vile one, satan, has always wanted to sit on the very Throne of our Father God Almighty. He will be cast to this earth as the pretend or fake christ, which is his “disguise of deception for these end times or latter days as the anti-christ or the instead of jesus.” Verse 13 says, “For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:” In the First Earth Age {spiritual} satan’s name was lucifer and he committed this offense against our Father God in the Heaven or First Earth Age {former/spiritual}, and will again perpetrate this deception in this Second Earth Age {current/flesh}. Slew footed satan’s deception brought about the destruction of that First Age just as his deception as the anti-christ or the instead of jesus will consummate the end of this Second or Flesh Earth Age we now live in. Verse 14 says, “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” This is exactly Paul’s teaching in II Thessalonians 2:4 which says, “Who [satan]” will oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God will sit in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, “The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done [is] that which shall be done: and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun.” Verse 10 says, “Is there [any] thing whereof it may be said, See, this [is] new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.” Verse 11 says, “”[There is] no remembrance of former [things]; neither shall there be [any] remembrance of [things] that are to come with [those] that shall come after.”

Mark 13:6 says, “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and shall deceive many.” In these end times or last days many preachers, pastors, reverends, ministers, evangelists, all the many pulpit gurus, are professing that our Father God called them to preach the Gospel. The very elect who are the disciples of the teachings of Christ Jesus realize that many are called, but few are chosen to bring forth the truth of these end times or latter days. Paul teaches that the many professing to be of Christ Jesus are the ministers of satan who transform themselves into ministers of righteousness just as satan will disguise himself as an angel of light [the anti-christ or the instead of jesus]. Take heed against this deception. Anyone who professes to be called unto the Gospel and does not study and teach our Father God’s Word precept upon precept and line upon line {Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse}, with stammering lips and another tongue will they speak to this people. Here a little, and from there a little more, that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken by satan and held captive by him at his will [Isaiah – Chapter 28].

Mark 13:8 says, “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these [are] the beginnings of sorrows.” After war follows famine, and the famine for the end times is taught by the prophet Amos as Amos 8:11 says, “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:” Amos is very exact in teaching us “what the famine for the end times are”; not for bread and water, rather “for the truth of our Father God’s Word.” Many are claiming that they are proclaiming the word of truth, however you must study to show yourself approved of our Father God, rightly dividing the Word of Truth with a Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse study of our Father God’s Word, DAILY. Verse 12 says, “And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find [it].” People are hungry for the Truth of our Father God’s Word and we see just what Amos teaches in this Verse happening today. People of all denominations, religious backgrounds and professions are seeking, however not finding because many are called since few are chosen, meaning the chosen few with ears to hear and eyes to see, the very elect. Christ Jesus said in Matthew 13:3, “Behold, a sower went forth to sow;” Verse 4, “And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:” Verse 5, “Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:” Verse 6, “And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.” Verse 7, “And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:” Verse 8, “But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.” Verse 9, “Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Verse 10, “And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?” Verse 11, “He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.” “Use, Practice and/or Exercise” are what define a disciple in Father God’s Word of Truth. Amos 8:13 says, “In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.” No gender is intended in this Verse because all of Father God’s children, male and female should be spiritual virgins waiting for the Second Coming/Advent of our “King of kings and Lord of lords” who is Christ Jesus. Paul teaches that in due season we shall reap “IF” we faint not [Galatians 6:9]. Therefore, let us not become weary in well doing, that is to study our Father God’s Word of Truth that will equip us to stand against the deception and disguise of satan as the anti-christ or the instead of jesus.

The opposite of war is peace and safety, and this is how satan as the anti-christ or the instead of jesus will deceive many. Paul teaches in I Thessalonians 5:1, “But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.” Paul is simply stating that he has taught about the end times or latter days over and over again, and it should have taken root so that satan’s deception will not come to pass if one has ears to hear and eyes to see. Verse 2 says, “For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.” A thief attacks when one is asleep or off guard. Therefore, you should continually be on a spiritual watch so that satan’s disguise and deception as the anti-christ or the instead of jesus will not rob you of your faith. James teaches that faith without works is dead [James – Chapter 2]. Verse 3 says, “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” Slew footed satan will be trying to convince the world that he is our True Christ here to rapture or fly them away. He will come in peace and with a generous supply of prosperity for all. Paul has said, I have warned you time and time again against this deception. “As Travail Upon A Woman With Child” is the equivalent of the labor pains for satan’s deception as the anti-christ or the instead of jesus are occurring closer and closer together just like a woman in labor about to bring forth unto the birth. The earth will not escape because all who remain alive until the Second Coming of Christ Jesus will be here on the earth and not rapture or fly away before the Second Advent/Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Verse 4 says, “But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.” Paul is speaking to the true disciples of Christ Jesus being those who are skillful in the Words of Christ, desiring strong meat and not milk, by continual Use, Practice and/or Exercise therein. Knowledge concerning our Father God’s Word of Truth is the only way to escape being overtaken by the thief, satan as the instead of jesus. Christ Jesus said in John 10:8, “All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep [having strong meat, God’s Truths] did not hear them.” The vile one’s [satan] deception as the instead of jesus is an event that comes before the return or Second Coming of Christ Jesus. Slew footed satan is cast to this earth at the Sixth Trump, and Christ Jesus returns at the Seventh Trump [Revelation – Chapters 6,13,16 & 19].

I Thessalonians 5:5 says, “Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.” There is no darkness in Christ Jesus because He is the Light of the world. Therefore, as His disciples, we abide in His Light and the darkness cannot overshadow us, which is the darkness of false doctrines. David teaches in Psalms 119:11, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” It is a great sin to be deceived by satan as the instead of jesus when our Lord has foretold us all things concerning this deception. When Jesus taught the following, He was speaking to those who did not take the time to study DAILY for themselves, and thusly snared by satan’s disguise as the instead of jesus. Matthew 7:21 says, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Verse 22 says, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?” Verse 23 says, “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

Mark 13:14 says, “But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: The proper translation should be the “abomination of the desolator”, who is satan disguised as the instead of jesus or the anti-christ. “Desolation” is “a condition”, and cannot stand where it ought not since “only a person or entity can stand” where he ought not and bring about the condition of desolation. Daniel taught about satan’s deception in Daniel – Chapter 9 as Verse 27 says, “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” When you think of overspreading, you would think of something with wings, therefore the desolator enters on the wings of abomination and brings about the condition of desolation. This is exactly satan’s false message of the flyaway doctrine [rapture] and our Father God hates this message. Ezekiel 13:20 says, “Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make [them] fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, [even] the souls that ye hunt to make [them] fly.” Daniel also prophesied of Christ Jesus’ Two Advents; Christ was crucified during His First Advent and Christ Jesus will be misrepresented prior to His Second Advent with satan’s deception as the instead of jesus. Daniel also makes clear the time of the desolator, satan as the instead of jesus when he teaches, “even until the consummation”, which is the major event to bring about or consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age.

Mark 13:16 says, “And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.” One that is a disciple of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ should never be without their garment, that is our Father God’s Gospel Armor. It is the garment of truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, prayer and the Word of our Father God [Ephesians 6:10 – 18]. Christ Jesus said in Luke 17:34, “I tell you, in that night there shall be two [men] in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.” Verse 35 says, “Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Verse 36 says, “Two [men] shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.” Therefore, he that is in the field let him not turn back. Paul teaches in Hebrews 10:38, “Now the just shall live by faith: but if [any man] draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Verse 39 says, But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul." If you draw back, then you will be caught up in the deception of that man of sin, that son of perdition, satan, in his disguise as the instead of jesus.

Mark 13:17 “But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!” Jesus Christ said in Mark 13:34, “For the Son [Jesus Christ] of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.” Christ Jesus’ house is His many-membered body, the church. If while Christ Jesus is on His far journey {sitting at the right hand of Father God}, His house, the church does not remain faithful to their Bridegroom/Husband, then they are like a woman who does not remain faithful to her husband in his absence. If a man has been away from his wife, not home for a year, but when he returns his wife has a nine-month-old baby, then that baby belongs to another, not to her husband. Christ Jesus is speaking spiritually concerning His spiritual house, meaning that if you are deceived by satan as the instead of jesus, you were not faithful and are no longer Christ Jesus’ spiritual virgin [Matthew 25:1 – 13].

Christ Jesus commanded us to work and watch in His absence from His spiritual house “in those days”, being the days when satan is on this earth deceiving the world with his disguise as the instead of jesus. Christ Jesus did not say flyaway [rapture], but to work and watch. Watch for His return as “King of kings and Lord of lords.” Christ Jesus said His Second Coming would be without observation. The vile one’s [satan] disguise as the instead of jesus will be accompanied by lying signs and wonders or mind boggling miracles. “Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using; [Colossians 2:21 & 22].”

Luke 17:20 says, “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:” Do not be deceived by satan’s mind-boggling miracles, which are lying signs and wonders. If one is caught up with satan’s deception as the instead of jesus, you will not be with observation or watching and working as Christ Jesus commanded us. “Observation” has a two-fold implication: [1] the Kingdom of Almighty God will not consist of mind-boggling deceptive miracles and [2] the Kingdom of our LORD requires that you work and watch. Luke 17:21 says, “Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” The Kingdom of Almighty God is in the Spirit of prophecy, which is the indwelling Holy Spirit of our LORD. The Holy Spirit is our teacher or spiritual instructor in these end times. The Spirit of prophecy is nothing more than spiritual guidance and instruction concerning the events that consummate the end of this Flesh Age and the Second Coming of Christ Jesus. Our Father God’s Gospel Armor on and in place helps you have the Kingdom of our LORD internally.

Let us end this Bible Study with Paul’s teaching concerning our Father God’s Gospel Armor. Ephesians 6:10 says, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” Our Father God said through the prophet Zechariah in Chapter 4:6, “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” Our Father God’s Spirit endows with strength, power and might to do His will and understand His ways [Matthew 28: 18 – 20]. Verse 11 says, “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” “Armour of God” means to be wholly armed, where the spiritual helps needed for overcoming the temptations of the devil are in place, which is the Word of Father God and can be called upon by the Spirit of our LORD. This is especially true in the latter end of these end times when satan will disguise himself as the instead of jesus, as Verse 12 says, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].” Many people believe that the anti-christ or the instead of jesus is a flesh man that will be influenced by the evil spirit of satan, however this is an untruth since it will be satan himself in disguise, deceiving the world into believing his final role of this Flesh Age, the instead of jesus. Paul teaches that we will not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against spiritual wickedness cast down from the high place of the Heavens. Revelation 12:9 says, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Paul further teaches concerning satan’s casting to the earth in II Corinthians 11:4 which says, “For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].” Verse 14 says, “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” “Transformed” means, “to disguise oneself as another, or to assume another’s appearance”, and in this case satan will transform or disguise himself as the anti-christ or the instead of jesus, which is his deception for the Biblically illiterate to believe he is our True Christ. Ephesians 6:13 says, “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” “The evil day” is the day of satan’s deception that Christ Jesus has warned us against which is satan’s disguise as the instead of jesus. You cannot "stand" if you any moment, rapture or fly away. You can only "stand" against satan’s deception if you know what to expect and this is only accomplished by studying our Father God’s Word precept upon precept and line by line {Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse}. In doing so, you can call on the spiritual help of our Father God’s whole armour as Revelation 7:12 says, “Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

Mark 13:23 says, “But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things,”
Mark 13:37 says, “And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.”
Ephesians 6:13 says, “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to Stand.”

GLORIFY FATHER GOD

CELEBRATE CHRIST JESUS – “THE MAN”

Many people today and tomorrow are celebrating the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. There will be ceremonies honoring his memory and speaking of his walk for freedom for all people. There will be speeches of how he stood against all the many obstacles placed in his path and those who worked with and followed him. There will be tears and shouting of praises toward this man. What is key here is he was “just a man.” He did many wonderful things to help people to gain respect according to their character and not the color of their skin. He opened doors and windows for success for people of color and generally for people overall who were treated unfairly, by the “Blessings of Father God.” However, he still was “just a man.” Instead of praising the acts or accomplishments of this man, all should be praising and glorifying Father God who made all things possible. All should be praising Father God Almighty who personified Himself in the flesh through His Beloved Son Christ Jesus. All should be praising Father God who, through His Beloved Son, stretched out His arms on that cross at Calvary, giving of His Perfect Self as a sacrifice for the sins of humankind. All should be glorifying Father God who through Christ Jesus rent that veil from top to bottom so that all of humankind could come before His Throne of Love, Grace and Mercy. All should be glorifying Father God for His Beloved Son who rose from the grave defeating death who is satan. All should be magnifying Father God whose Beloved Son ascended to Heaven where He now sits at the right hand of His Father, our Intercessor to our LORD God Almighty. All should be magnifying Father God for the promised return of our Lord Jesus Christ to this earth at the Seventh Trump as “King of kings and Lord of lords” when every knee shall bow to Him and every tongue confess our Father God Almighty. All should be revering Father God with all the love your soul can master for the Millennial Kingdom teaching that may keep your soul from perishing with satan. All should be revering Father God for that time when we shall look to the Heavens and see our LORD sitting upon His Throne, returning to a new Heaven, a new Jerusalem, with all of His Heavenly host.

While you are once again finding a reason to esteem “just a man”, forgetting “the Man” who is “Christ Jesus”, remember it was our LORD who chose Martin Luther King to lead the way for that particular cause of his time. Father God chose Moses to lead the children from the hands of Pharaoh to the Promised Land. Our Father will select whomsoever He will to carry forth an act to help His children whom He loves obviously more than most of the people of this earth understand and love Him. There is no greater company to be in than all those of the Holy Bible who loved Father God and did His Will. Just as those of the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible are not celebrated on their birthday for doing the will of Father, participating in His Perfect Plan, I ask myself why is Martin Luther King celebrated on his birthday. I believe if he could speak to all those gathering for their see, feel and touch ceremonies that are more for themselves than for him, that Martin Luther King would say, “get a clue and honor “the Man, Christ Jesus.” I believe he would say, “carry on those things Father God placed on my watch.” I believe he would say, “stop hurting each other and work together in one accord first to love, honor and obey Father God Almighty and then to redeem the times we are living in and be prepared.” I believe he would say, “the time you are spending with your ceremonies that are here today and gone tomorrow would best be spent studying Father’s Word, His Truths.” I believe he would say, “what I did was for that appointed time under the blessings of Father God to allow you the time now to prepare for a battle soon to come that is against the very enemy of Father God, and that is satan.” I believe he would say, “Christ Jesus is our Living Word and taught humankind the way, the path, the truth to the Light of Eternal Life” and here you are wasting time with a ceremonial ritual that means nothing to Father God since they are empty words of self-glorification to those standing at the podium. Last night I had a dream and in that dream I saw many seeking hiding places, praying for rocks and mountains to fall on them. In that same dream, I heard those singing the “Song of the Lamb and the Song of Moses.” I had a dream that all of you play-actors would wake up and remember there is only One worthy to be praised and His Name is YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty, in the blessed Name of Yeshua, Christ Jesus. Amen Amen!~
