"Until
the day in which he was taken up, after
that
he through the Holy Spirit had given commandments unto the apostles
whom
he
had chosen: To whom also he showed himself alive after his passing by
many
infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the
things
pertaining to the kingdom of God: And, being assembled together with
them,
commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for
the
promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John
truly
baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not
many
days hence. When they therefore were come together, they asked of him,
saying,
Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And
he
said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons,
which
the Father hath put in his own power. But ye shall receive power, after
that
the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both
in
Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost
part
of the earth. And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld,
he
was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight" (Acts
1:2-9).
"Wherefore
of these men
which
have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out
among
us, Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was
taken
up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his
resurrection.
And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed
Justus,
and Matthias. And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the
hearts
of all men, show whether of these two thou hast chosen, That he may
take
part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by
transgression
fell, that he might go to his own place. And they gave forth their
lots;
and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven
apostles.
And when THE DAY of PENTECOST was
fully come,
they were all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came a
sound
from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house
where
they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as
of
fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the
"Holy Spirit", and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit
gave them
utterance" (Acts
1:21-2:4).
"And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews,
devout
men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad,
the
multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man
heard
them speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled,
saying
one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? And
how
hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Parthians,
and
Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea,
and
Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and
in
the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and
proselytes,
Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful
works of God.
And they were all
amazed,
and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
Others
mocking said, These men are full of new wine. But Peter, standing up
with
the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea,
and
all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to
my
words: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the
third
hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
And
it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of
my
Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
And
on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of
my
Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will show wonders in heaven
above,
and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
The
sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that
great
and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that
whosoever
shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a
man
approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God
did
by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Him, being
delivered
by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and
by
wicked hands have crucified and slain: Whom God hath raised up, having
loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should
be holden of
it. For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before
my
face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Therefore
did
my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall
rest
in hope: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou
suffer
thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways
of
life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
Men and
brethren,
let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both
dead
and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Therefore being
a
prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of
the
fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to
sit
on his throne; He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of
Christ,
that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see
corruption.
This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Therefore
being
by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the
promise
of the Holy Spiritt, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and
hear.
For
David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD
said
unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Until I make thy foes
thy
footstool.
Let me also give credit where credit would be due,
some of organized religion, though not the older or bigger brand
names (pick your own brand of Bubblegum [Babylon] religion), had
accurately perceived parts of
Revelations 12: 6, but
misinterpreted what needs t be
done about the issue
“And the woman fled into the wilderness, where She hath a Place
Prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred
and threescore days.” Thinking themselves smart they went and filled
the caves of Petra with a lot of New Testaments (in particular i
presume). Let us Remember, in The Lord's eyes, the Churh is called The
Bride of Christ, hence the Feminine gender). Since the place is
Prepared of God for her, where The Congregation will be physically fed
(with Real food); granted "man will not live by Bread alone but by
every Word that comes from the mouth of God" but the human body is not
designed to Fast (carnal food) for more than 30 human days; therefore:
In my thinkinking, The Bride of Christ (The Church: Eph
5:22-27; Jhn.15:3; Rev.3:7-12;
1Cor.4:2)
is the woman in Rev 12:1, the 12
stars would be the 12 tribes of Israel (the Remnant of Yisrael,
Rev.7:1-6). Thus “ Philadelphia”
[The Church (Rev.3:7-12;
Eph.2:12)] is going to become a Self Sufficient Agrarian Community
[Congregation] separated (from all worldliness) which I figure we will
have to start to set up soon, somewhere out in Nature (wilderness),
flying under the world's radar (bcuz: Rev.13:1-16 IS COMING) who will
be serving as instructor to the 144 000 of the Hebrew Elect (Rev.7:
1-6) , who are the Remnant (OF YISRAEL, during the 1260 days last half
of the great Tribulations (Rev.13:1-14?). Oh, in case you are
wondering, I figure we are coming to the End of the Fourth Trumpet, and
the beginning of the fifth (I have been “Doing The Math”).
Therefore let all the house of Israel
(Eph.2:12)
know assuredly, that God hath made that same YaHshueh, whom ye have
crucified,
both Lord and Christ. Now when they heard this, they were pricked
in
their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men
and
brethren, what shall we do?
Then
Peter said unto
them,
Repent (to have a Change of Heart,and lifestyle therewith),,
and be
baptized every one of you in the name of YaHshueh the Christ for the
Remission
of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For
the
promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar
off,
even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words
did
he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from
This Untoward Generation..
Then
they that gladly
received
his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them
about
three thousand souls. And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’
doctrine
and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And fear came
upon
every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And
all
that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their
possessions
and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they,
continuing
daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to
house,
did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God,
and
having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church
daily
such as should be saved" (Acts 2:5-47).
"May The Lord
(John 1:1-3,14).Bless
you
and Keep you" (Numb.6:24), in your
Growth
IN The FAITH
(2Pet.3:18). May you find
Understanding
and Wisdom (Prov.4:5-9; not Rationalizations
and other Compromises) in these ensuing pages, and may The
Spirit
(Jhn.6:63; Eph.6:17; 1Tim.4:1-3) of YaHshueh (a
vowelization
of
the Tetragamon: YHWH) Lead you IN (Heb.10:19
-22; 2Cor.5:17-21; Rom.8:1 -4) HIS WORD
( Jhn.1:12-14 ; 1Pet.1:18-23; Rom.12:2;
Eph.4:22-24;
2Cor.10:3-5). Only YaHshueh (THE WORD : Jhn.1:14 ; Ps.103:20;
Ps.138:2; Phil.2:11) is the "Author and Finisher"
(Hebr.12:1-4;
Jhn.1:12-14; 1Jhn.2:26,27) of our
Faith
, and the " Captain
of our Salvation
" (Hebr.2:9-12); and ONLY through THE
WORD
(Jhn.1:14; Rom.10:17,10) can we ACCESS HIM
(Jhn.14:6).
We are also well advised to be more
Selective
(this is somewhat cute, I used to use this as an Introductuion
to this webpage) as to what we allow ourselves Ingest
as "Food for Thought " (Rom.12:2,
Eph.4:20-24; 1Pet.1:23); we were Warned about "The Blind
Leading the Blind," and we are Not of this World
(Jhn.15:19; Jhn.17:14-16; Eph.2:4-6; 1Jhn.2:14-19)
,
to have to Identify therewith (Jms.4:4). This is to say
nothing
of the Fact we are called Out Of
the
world
: (2Cor 6:14-18; Rom.12:2; Rev.18:4),
Which
should
be all the more pertinent since we just
passed Rev.17:14
.. PS
= "Thus Saith TheLORD."
"Wherefore also it is
contained
in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect,
precious:
and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you
therefore
which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the
stone
which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the
corner,And
a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble
at
the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. For ye
are
a Chosen Generation, a Royal Priesthood
, an Holy Nation, a Peculiar People
; that ye should show forth the Praises of Him
(John 1:1-3,14) who hath Called you
OUT
of DARKNESS
(2Cor.4:4, ignorance)
into His (John
1:1-3,14) Marvellous Light: Who in
time past were Not a People, but are Now the People of Adonay (God our Proprietor, strongs #113,
#136): who had not obtained Mercy
, but now have obtained Mercy. Dearly beloved, I beseech you as
Strangers and Pilgrims, abstain from fleshly Lusts (all fleshly
desires #1939)
, which WAR against the Soul"(1Pet. 2:6-11; Eph.2:2.3).
For thou
art
an Holy People unto the LORD thy God, and The LORD hath chosen thee to
be
a peculiar people unto Himself, above all the nations that are upon the
earth
(Deut. 14:2).
And The LORD
hath
avouched thee this day to be His peculiar people, as He hath promised
thee,
and that thou shouldest Keep all His Commandments (1John 5:1-5); And to
make
thee high above all nations which He hath made, In Praise, and In Name,
and
In Honour; and that thou mayest be an Holy People unto YaHWeH Adonay
(the LORD thy God), as He hath spoken (Deut. 26:18,19).
"For" ye are come unto
Mount
Zion (Ephesians 2:12), and unto the city of the Living Adonay,
the
Heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To
the
general Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, who are written in
Heaven,
and to Adonay the Judge of all, and to the spirits of Just men made
Perfect
, And to Yahshueh the mediator of the New Covenant, and to the
Blood
of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. See
that
ye Refuse Not Him that speaketh. For if they escaped Not who refused
him
that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away
from
Him that speaketh (Psalm 103:20) from Heaven: Whose voice then shook
the
earth: but now he hath Promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the
earth
only, but also heaven (Hebr. 12:24-26).
"Neither by the blood of goats and
calves,
but by His own Blood He entered in once into the Holy Place, having
obtained
Eternal Redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of
goats,
and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the
purifying
of the flesh: How much more shall the Blood of Christ, who
through
the Eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot
to Adonay, purge your
Conscience
from Dead Works (worldy works) to Serve the Living God?
(Hebr.
9:12-14).
Seeing then that we have a
great High Priest, that is passed into the heavens, YaHShueh the Son of
Adonay (God our proprietor) let
us hold fast our profession. For we have not an High Priest which
cannot
be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in All points
tempted
like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come Boldly (Strong's
#3954, Boldness out-spokenness, frankness, bluntness, by impl.
Assurance,
confidence #3954) unto the Throne of Grace, that we may Obtain
Mercy,
and find Grace to Help in Time of Need. For every high priest
taken
from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he
may
offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: Who can have compassion on
the
ignorant, and on them that are out of "The Way" (John 14:6) for
that He Himself also is
compassed with infirmity. And by reason hereof he ought, as for the
people,
so also for himself, to offer for sins. And no man taketh this honour
unto
himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. So also Christ
glorified
not Himself (John 5:40-44) to be made an High priest; but He
that said unto Him, Thou art
my Son, today have I begotten thee. As He saith also in another
place,
Thou art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec (Hebr.
4:14
->5:6).
"John to the seven
churches
which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and Peace, from Him Who is, and
Who
was, and Who is to Come; and from the Seven Spirits which are before
His
throne; And from YaHshueh The Christ, who is the Faithful Witness (to
His Father, not himself: 2Thes.2"2-12; John 5:40-44), and the
First begotten of the dead
, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that Loved us, and
Washed us from our Sins in His Own Blood, And hath made us "A
KINGDOM of PRIEST unto Adonay and His Father; to Him be Glory
and
Dominion for ever and ever.
Amen. Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him,
and
they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail
because
of Him. Even so, Amen" (Rev. 1:4-7)..
So, what happened? Where
is the Glory Prophecied of? Unfortunately, when Rome became the self
proclaimed Capital
of Religion,(which is still Jerusalem
"JeruShalom," in the Eyes of The Lord) the great Apostacy prophecied of in 2 Thessalonians 2 started setting in (and later, with
the boyfriend Liberation (from marriage, called womens lib) movement,
which seduced (or
bought out) a lot of would be Faithful
Believers, and romanism became religion (substitute for Faith; Matt.15:8,9; Rom.10:17), and all
other religions born thereof,
are
all fruits of a corrupt tree
hence the "Mother of harlots"
(Rev.17: 5) who has filled the whole earth,
with "the Wine of the Wrath of their Fornication" (1Corinth.7:1,2;
including James 4:4) (the hype of how
the b-f gets
non married sex; among other graphic interpretations; without
looking
at the Spiritual [Eph.6:17; Jhn.6:63 "Adultery"
side of the issue
[James 4:4]); for whatever earthly (thought of
as) benefits, they get out of it; in effect making a religion out of
"Secular Humanism, and "Emotional Secularism."
.







My little
children, these things write I unto you,
that ye SIN NOT. And if any man SIN, we have an Advocate with the
Father,
YaHshueh The Christ the Righteous: And He is the Propitiation for our
SINS:
and not for ours only, but also for the SINS of the whole
world(1Jhn.2:1,2).
Whosoever believeth that YaHshueh is The
Christ
is born of God (John
1:1-3,14)
: and every one that loveth Him that Begat loveth Him also that is
Begotten
of Him. By this we know that we Love the Children of God, when we Love
God,
and Keep His Commandments. For This Is the Love of Adonay
(John 1:1-3,14), that we Keep His
Commandments: and His Commandments are Not Grievous. For whosoever is
Born (1Pet.1:23) of
Adonay (John 1:1-3,14) Overcometh the world: and this is the VICTORY that
Overcometh the world, even our Faith. Who is he that Overcometh
the world, but he that Believeth
(Jhn.1:12) that YaHshueh is the Son of Adonay? (1John 5:1-5)
"If
ye
abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and
it
shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear
much
fruit; so shall ye be My Disciples . As the Father hath Loved Me, so
have
I Loved you: continue ye in My Love.
If ye keep My Commandments
,
ye shall abide in My Love; even as I have Kept My Father’s
Commandments,
and abide in His Love. These things have I spoken unto you, that
My
joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
This is My Commandment,
That
ye Love (1Jhn.4:8) one another, as I have Loved you. Greater
Love
hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

"Now I
beseech you, brethren, by The Name
(Ps.138:2;
Phil.2:9-11) of our Lord YaHuWaH
-Shua The Messiah (Jhn.1:14), that you all Speak the Same Thing , and
that
there be NO DIVISIONS among you; but that you be Perfectly Joined
together
in the Same Mind
(1Pet.4:1,2) and in the Same Judgment . For it has been declared
unto
me of you, my brethren,by them which are of the house of Chloe,that
there
are Contentions (1Cor.3:1-3) among you. Now this I say, that
every
one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and
I
of The Messiah, Is The Messiah Divided
(Eph.4:11-13)? Was Paul Crucified for you? or were you
Baptized
in the name of Paul? I thank Adonay that I baptized none of you,
but
Crispus and Gaius; Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine OWN NAME
" (1Cor.1:10-15; Jhn.5:40-44; Jhn.7:16-18).

Heresy (#139 airesiv hairesis {hah'-ee-res-is}, from #138 (138 aireomai haireomai {hahee-reh'-om-ahee}, probably akin to #142 {airw airo {ah'-ee-ro; 2) to take upon one's self and carry what has been raised up, to bear; 3) to bear away what has been raised, carry off; 3b) to take off or away what is attached to anything; 3c) to remove;3d) to carry off, carry away with one; 3e) to appropriate what is taken; 3f) to take away from another what is HIS or what is committed, to HIM , to take by force; 1) to take for oneself, 2) to choose by vote, (elect to office). 1) act of taking, capture: e.g. storming a city (Nicolatan);.4) a body of men following their own tenets (sect or party); 4a) of the Sadducees; 4b) of the Pharisees; 4c) of the Christians. 5) dissensions arising from diversity of opinions and aims).
This is a "Grass Roots" Ministry , around here we live in our "blue jeans forever" (old song, author ? As an outlook on Life), we "roll up our sleeves," Do (Jms.1:22-25) what needs to be Done , and we "Shoot from the Hip" (old expression, not to be taken literally: "No "DoubleTalk" (Jms.1:8); and other "Jive Talking" politics) If you are looking for a watered down (Isa.1:22) excuse for a religion (Isa.30:1-14), you might as well not go any farther; you won't Like what you Hear.
I have reinstated the
Hebrew Names
(that I know) to The Sacred Scriptures as a Romantic
Touch and for Authenticity's Sake (Jhn.4:;20-24;
Rom.11:11-32).We
also Miss a lot in the Translation of Scriptures.
I
have been Pondering this issue for quite some time, and can't
put
the Pieces Together.
Modern theology had been alleging (through
the early ninety's) that the earliest Original Greek Manuscripts
of the New Testament dated back
to sometime in the fourth century A.D. (I think the date was 363??),
until
they Allegedly found an Original Greek Manuscript in Apostle
Paul's Own hand. We know that Israel was under Greek Rule
until 157
B.C., and
had been under Roman Rule for 157 years (that Greek had
not been being taught as a second language in Yisrael) at the time
of HaMashiach . It would therefore Stand to Reason (1Tim.1:7,
O.K.J.), that Jewish Pride would have Prohibited that
the
New Testament be written in Roman , and therefore the Original
Text of The New Testament had to have been Written in Hebrew
(even
if the manuscripts are nowhere to be found), except maybe for the work
of Luke (who is reported to have been Greek). There is second
implication
that has to be spotted, in view of what we can Lose in the
Translation
(reason for Strong's), how much of the translation could we also have
Lost from the Hebrew into Greek (who were the
forerunners
in the world's making a Religion out of the flesh (self),
to
say nothing of reducing the Image of the Incorruptible Adonay ,
into
an image made unto mortal men (Rom.1:23, paraphrased; Acts 17:23) . I
don't
intend to sound like I am Discrediting Scriptures, but to view
the
issue from the perspective of: Who is supposed to be the
Doer in James 1:22 if not Rom.8:3,4; Col. 1:27;
not that we
are not supposed to Try (Rom.6:17; 3Jhn.1:3; Rom. 1:5; 15:18;
16:26; 2Co
10:5; 1Pe 1:22; 4:17) .
I added a Glossary to clarify the various terms we either Take for Granted , or Ignore. I have also come to Discover that though useful, the Strongs' Concordance may also contain some inherent Weakness'; and I have found a few sites , which not only deals with the issue, but also has some Corroborating Information on "The Fall of Babylon " in The Rev.18:4 Times we are in, and other Views on the Times; along with another Assembly who seem to have some Hands On input to make (I haven't had enough time to check them out, this is not yet as an Endorsement, just Information).
I
can't Stress Enough that we are at the Eve of
The Fall of Babylon (Rev.18:4) and The Exodus , and The Kingdom Exodus
in Preparation thereof IS NOT AN OPTION
(even
if it will only happen for some in Rev.7:9-14). We are
Called
in The Seal of Adonay to
Be Sanctified
as a A Kingdom of
Priests (Rev.1:5,6) to be Pilgrims
and Strangers
(1Pet.2:6-11; 2Cor.6:14-18; Heb,13:12-16) in
this world (Jms.4:4) of Sin
; there being a lot of things we are
Missing in the Fast Lane we being In Last Days . The Ministry
is also trying to Expand
, and Hopefully there will be enough
Faithful Believers
(Rev.3:7-12) to turn The
Sanctuary into more than
just News ; which isn't to say
that we do not have to "
Grow in The Grace and the Knowlege of our Lord and Savior Yashueh
the Christ" (2Pet.3:18; Gal.4:19; Rom.12:2; 2Tim.2:15; Heb.4:11) and in
Patience . in the process.
We
seem to
Forget
(1Tim. 4:6) that our
Adoption as Sons
(and Daughters, Rom.8:17) is Predicated
by the Terms of Endearment as
Described in Hebrews 12: 5-16 , which is not Obvious in
James 4:4-12, for HE does Sit as the
Refiner's Fire , which is more than a Praise Song, and
He does Expect us to be Patient
(not idle, Is.30:1-14; Zeph.1:12 NIV),
in
His Doing His Work In us; an Issue that is not necessarily Easy
to Perceive for living in the Fast Lane , with an Excessively
Extroverted Programming , wherein Introversion
(1Cor.11:28-32) is Scoffed at.
There is also a lot of
Opposition to The
Facts
(Jhn 1:12-17; 4:24; 8:31,32; Jhn.8:40; 14:6, 17;
17:17 ) of The Faith in a "
Self Righteous "
(Another New Age Curse, Isa. 64:6, who would even like to Pretend to Be
Adonay) society, even among them who
Profess to Believe
so I had to write this little piece on
The Enemies of The Faith . Spiritual Warfare
is Not a Myth , and we sometimes
do Not Understand how to Equipe
Ourselves to make our Stand (Eph.6:10-18); nor Who
The Enemy Is
(Eph.2:2,3).
I have also added another Episode of Kingdom Living to the series, seeing as we seem to be Suffering from an accute case of Disorientation (Prov.29:18) in the Ignorance in the New Age , Doped Up , Fast Lane Confusion . while we get Robbed of any Intrinsic Love , and of any Real PEACE . Of course the Social (Jms.4:4) Pace is Flying off the Handle (have you heard the story of three Crows on a pump handle? chuckle .. chuckle), but that isNo Reason to lose our Bearing nor our Freedom (Jhn.8:31-36).
I don't know if we
have become so desensitized
to all the fallse Prophecies that have been flying around in the last
30
years ( their interpretations of Rev.17:12 in particul;ar), that some
seem
to think that the times have passed us by just because their
interpretations
didn't come true, and the ensuing lies that aren't likely to either,
but
there is one Prophecy we can depend on to not Fail.
"For the time is come that judgment
must begin at the House of Adonay (God Our Proprietor): and if
it
first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that
Obey Not the gospel of God
?" (1Peter 4:17)
We do seem to forget that Repentannce is Not
an Option, but the Very Cornerstone of
Salvation .
"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" (2Pet.3:9).
Despite the increasing blindness of religiosity (flesh playing ch-rch, I have actually had to wonder if the term "Politically Correct" hadn't been invented in so called ch-rch), we have to Understand (Ps. 119:104; Eph.5:17; Prov. 4:5-8) that the Term Receiving Christ is Not being given a piece of bubblegum, discarding the wrapper, enjoying the flavor for a while, and spitting it out. Receiving Christ is the begiining of Dying to Self, to be Filled With Him: "Till we all come in the Unity of the Faith (not denemination; there is Only 1 Christ: John 1:14; 2Cor. 5:7), and of the Knowledge (2Cor.4:4-6, 1Tim.2:4) of the Son of Adonay, unto a Perfect Man, unto the Measure of the Stature of the Fulness of Christ"
