GOD'S CHURCHThe Very Elect

‘Declaring The End From The Beginning’

and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, … Isa 46:10

______________________________________________ Vol.1 No. 5 A BI - MONTHLY NEWSLETTER July-Aug 2017___________________________________________________________________________________

THE WEST’S

“INTELLECTUAL” WAR?_______________________________________________________________

From man’s rebellious beginning in the garden, where the newly created woman “thought” to take of the tree, because it was a tree to be desired to make one “wise”, (Gen.3:6)

What is the path mankind have ever followed since that time? The path set for him by his first ancestors, a path of “human-devised” wisdom, of “leaning to one’s own “understanding” apart from his own Creator!

Not surprisingly true “wisdom” will ever elude mankind, though he has sought it diligently, because he simply refuses the only source of true wisdom, The Fountain of Living Waters!

HAS A NATION EVER CHANGED THEIR GODS?

Notice what God had His servant Jeremiah record of Israel in this same context. (Jeremiah 2:12 RV) Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be

horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.

.(Jeremiah 2:13 RV) For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

What caused this awful reaction from the Fountain of living waters? The preceding verse of course.

(Jeremiah.2:11 KJV) Hath a nation changed their gods, which yet are no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.

Did that old serpent called Satan and the Devil know what he was doing when he tempted and lied to Eve?

Of course he did, but so did God in using Satan to His own purpose as the Scripture under the main heading at the top of each Newsletter shows, God foreknew and planned and allowed the

Arch-Deceiver to manipulate the newly created human for God’s ultimate purpose, that of creating perfect holy righteous divine spiritual character in mankind!

He, mankind doesn’t know it, but eventually, he will obey his Maker in the world to come, for that world will be ruled by Christ and all the saints in glory!

Paul alluded to this world to come in Hebrews 2:5 (GNB) God has not placed the angels as rulers over the new world to come---the world of which we speak.

Hebrews 2:6 (GNB) Instead, as it is said somewhere in the Scriptures: "What are human beings, O God, that you should think of them; mere human beings, that you should care for them?

What is the answer of the Bible scholar in today’s confused, angry and secular world?

They don’t know, but we do, Because God has revealed them to us in His Word!

Hebrews 2:7 (GNB) You made them (humans) for a little while lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honour,

Hebrews 2:8 (GNB) and made them (humans) rulers over all things." It says that God made them "rulers over all things"; this clearly includes everything. We do not, however, see human beings ruling over all things now.

The World to Come.

The world today knows nothing about this world to come, and refuses to acknowledge anything even vaguely related to their own Creator. That’s how utterly Satan has filled the hearts of all humanity with hostility toward their own beloved Creator!!

The Scriptures speak loud and clear to God’s called people in this, and yet even they have largely rejected their one and only opportunity, as the parable of

the sower and the seed clearly described the varying types of people.

Here in Hebrews chapter wo, the proof continues for those with eyes to see.

Hebrews 2:9 (GNB) But we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, so that through God's grace he should die for everyone. We see him now crowned with glory and honor because of the death he suffered.

Again, what was the purpose?

The acquiring of holy, righteous, divine spiritual character is one of the necessary elements to enter life, even as Christ told His own disciples, that if their righteousness did not exceed that of the Scribes and the Pharisees, they would not enter the kingdom of God! (Matt.5:20)

Mankind blindly stumbles on, not knowing his ultimate purpose is to rule over all things in heaven and in the earth under Jesus Christ’s divine rulership and majesty.

CONFUSION NOT OF GOD

The World of “religion” knows nothing of The World To Come, and the world of secularism knows only what their greedy, mischievous and evil hearts devise.

Go to any “church” and they cannot tell you what the future holds for humanity, his purpose, and the purpose God has for all life.

That tells us at least 2-things;

1. There are those that are called and those that are not uncalled, at this time.

2. The called have the opportunity to enter life, but, are not guaranteed to find it.

When presented with that opportunity to receive the gift of God’s Holy Spirit, the one must be prepared to forsake all else, not necessarily do it, but be prepared to do it as if he/she will.

From there, the true disciple will begin the process leading to life, and find the true wisdom, the truth and the life they can achieve, if they do it as The Fountain of ALL Life, and ALL THINGS directs them to. Not in their own way, but the way of God, as summarised in The Word of His Grace, The Holy Bible, man’s instruction manual for life.

WHY HIDDEN WISDOM?

To man God says; But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? (Job.28:12.)

Given man’s propensity to seek what he cannot achieve his own way, it would seem a sensible question. Man’s answer has always been to produce his own alternatives, just as mother eve thought the “tree” looked good to make one wise?

The question has never been one of ‘intellect’, but rather, wisdom. A fact that shows, man has again missed the mark.

In fact, all of life’s most perplexing questions, though unanswerable to man, yet, he simply cannot know them unless and until he first acknowledges the facts of His Own Creator God, and begins to seek that source, which is the true source of all wisdom and all truth. Then, he will see how maddeningly close to him they were, his whole life.

If only mankind would be prepared to open his ears and eyes to what has been in reality, smacking him in the face since the garden! What is it??

That he, man, is a created being with an incredible and awesome potential, so supreme and far above anything his wild imagination can dream up, that “it” defies belief!

That is one reason why man prefers fables to truth, because he can give himself the alternative to believe whatever

his foolish heart chooses apart from his God.

That is why God tells man the reason he cannot find wisdom.

“Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air. (Job.28:21.)

Why is it hid from the eyes of ALL living?

The answer to this seeming puzzle is found in the last verse of the chapter;

And Unto the man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil, that is understanding. (Job.28:28.)

PURPOSES OF JULY-AUG NEWSLETTER

This edition of the newsletter will deal with this crucial need that man blindly refuses to acknowledge, instead blindly going from one disaster to another!

Last time, the May-June edition hi-lighted the ANGER & HOSTILITY that has sharply risen in recent times in racial, political and social protests with tumultuous unrest in many violent riots, and yet, this is what man is, a hostile, rebellious being!

The “Christiany” left-leaning do-gooder would frown upon any criticism of his fellow man, but there is a time and place for correction, otherwise God would not have said so in II Timothy.3:16.

Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for instruction, for correction, that he may be perfect. See vs’s 15 and 17 also.

This newsletter is not aimed at the softly, softly lukewarm Christian but helping those who are zealous for The Word of God, but care little for the taunts of the unconverted!

Take for example those who think they have more wisdom than his Creator, where he/she arrogantly ‘critique’ The Word of God from his own warped and ignorant perspective!

I have heard people do this, saying; “Oh, that scripture has changed now”. “Or, the scripture doesn’t mean that anymore”.

You see, mankind seem to “think” God must have gotten all confused, or become too old to know what He’s doing, and now they know more than God.

He didn’t really mean that sin is the transgression of the Law, because Christ died for our sins, so now we can just sin whenever we like. The Law was kept for us, it’s not necessary for us to do that???

If you, like me have heard that rot, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about!

Man always wants to permit himself the alternative of another option, if the one offered is not to their liking. That is exactly what the religion of “Christianity in all of it’s confused forms offers. An alternative for every view, every thought, every confused idea.

What that does is give the particular “religion” it’s wage paying members. And they’ll continue to preach whatever that congregation wants to hear.

Hence, thousands of differing ideas, none of which are based upon the Word of God. Oh yes, they g=have a little truth, but it’s mostly mixed with error, and to the unconverted mind, to the mind focussed on whatever “it” wants to believe, you or I will never change it.

That will take Christ in the world to come. In that time, there will be no more, “Well, this is how I see it”; They will hear a voice behind them saying, “This is the way, walk you in it”! (Isa.30:21)

That is why God said through this same servant was inspired to write the following in this context.

Isaiah 58:11 CEV) The LORD will always guide you and provide good things to eat when you are in the desert. He will make you healthy. You will be like a garden that has plenty of water or like a stream that never runs dry.

The world of confused “Christianity” will gladly claim all of these wonderful rewards without the effort, without obeying the conditions God usually sets out in either the preceding, of following verses.

In them, the conditions, God states clearly what you receive when you do as He instructs and commands.

In the deceived minds of human-beings, both “religious” and atheist, there are no conditions, no boundaries, no law, no truth, nothing exists except what mankind say exists, even when the Creator states plainly what he accepts, and what he accepts not, they stubbornly shove past even God’s Word, which is His mind in printed form!

FALSE BELIEVERS NOT SOUGHT

If we are reaching out to all people, then we are saying what alse “Churches” are saying, and we are not!

This little work is clearly reaching out to God’s little ones who have been sanctified by His Holy Spirit.

Think about that for a second. If you have God’s Holy Spirit, compared to as a Seed, and it is being watered as a garden, receiving the light as required to by the sower, and the waterer, it will undoubtedly grow, and you will will have the ability to hear The Word of God, and understand The Word of God when you read it.

Alternatively, those who are not being called to receive repentance, baptism and the planting of God’s Holy

Seed at this time simply CANNOT know the things of The Spirit of God. So says God Himself through His servant Paul in I Corinthians. Chapter 2;

Mark well the differences God makes in these verses between His called people, and the world.

1 Corinthians 2:12 (CEV) But God has given us his Spirit. That's why we don't think the same way that the people of this world think. That's also why we can recognize the blessings that God has given us.

1 Corinthians 2:13 (CEV) Every word we speak was taught to us by God's Spirit, not by human wisdom. And this same Spirit helps us teach spiritual things to spiritual people.

1 Corinthians 2:14 (CEV) That's why only someone who has God's Spirit can understand spiritual blessings. Anyone who doesn't have God's Spirit thinks these blessings are foolish.

ONE-WAY

Is God’s Word and Way, one-way, or many? If God’s way is able to interpreted, however mankind, particularly unconverted mankind “think” then Truth itself has no meaning or boundaries, and that would mean that there is no truth, becaue every person makes a decision as to scriptures meaning. Of course, they always will make this mistake.

Take for example what The Lord Jesus Christ Himself said in Mark.12:29  And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: (My emphasis.) If this isn’t true as the world’s “churches” obviously “think”, then Christ lied!

What am I talking about? The hundreds and thousands of different “religions” who obviously have different gods, or they ALL worship one-way, and to the One True God!

If you aren’t following the logic, the “churches” of this world have the convenient belief that The Law of God was some-how miraculously “done-away” at the cross.

A CHALLENGE

Some reading this who do not understand the truth will want to now put down this Newsletter…

DON’T! I challenge that person to Prove ALL-THINGS, and hold fast that which is good! (I Thess.5:21)

Briefly, the Law that was made powerless by Christ’s sacrifice was simply the sacrificial system contained in the Law of Moses. That’s ALL!

The Truth is stranger than fiction to those who don’t understand the mysteries of the kingdom of God, and yet, TRUE! That’s exactly what we read in I Corinthians chapter 2, regarding those who do NOT have The Spirit of God.

To emphasize this again, note what the ERV says in relation to verse 14;

1 Corinthians 2:14 (ERV) People who do not have God's Spirit do not accept the things that come from his Spirit. They think these things are foolish. They cannot understand them, because they can only be understood with the Spirit's help.

THE SOWER

To digress momentarily, given the context is wisdom; In the Gospel of Luke, chapter 8:4-18; Christ told the parable of the seed, and the sower, upon whom it fell, and the types of the “ground” in which it was sown. , and what was expected from this priceless gift, God’s Holy Spirit!

The Tree the first 2-created human-beings in reality rejected was the tree that led to eternal life, which is what this GIFT of God’s Holy Spirit is again being offered to select people whom God long-ago foresaw in their time HE would call to give them their opportunity to choose God. See Romans.8:27-30.

Without getting into the awesome aspects of predestination that would take a great deal of space, it is unquestionable that God has concluded all in blindness when you understand the plan and purpose God has. But the rest of the people of the world who have not been cut off from God’s grace will be given their opportunity to receive this knowledge, wisdom and the glorious Truth of Almighty God.

Hence, God inspired the apostle Paul to write in the book of Romans, how utterly unreceptive to God’s Law of the Spirit.

Romans 8:7 (ESV) For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.

What many of the churches cannot understand is that GOD is a Spirit, and therefore what HE utters, or thinks, or inspires to be written is of The Spirit, and therefore actually Spirit!!

John 4:24 (GNB) God is Spirit, and only by the power of his Spirit can people worship him as he really is."

Not only is God Spirit, HE is The SPIRIT from whom ALL-THINGS have come into existence, whether seen, or unseen!

That means, HE is The Designer of every part of matter, right down to the awesome atom, and it’s functions in every creation in the physical realm, and every heavenly creation made by Spirit in the heavenly realm, for every purpose HE purposed under the heaven, from the beginning, right through eternity!

THE SELF-INFLICTED WAR RAGING UPON MAN

The previous newsletter also showed the driving force of the militant left, especially the media and all their useful idiot supporters in massive protests, as they are manipulated and incited into rage and via “red” socialist-left, Politically correct doctrines.

Thankfully, the “rusted-on” belts of the U.S were not swayed by the refuse of the left-wing media, and against all odds, swept Mr. Trump into power.

But, the “intellectual”-war has been stepped up in the U.S, and all nations of the west!

One article by Marc Thiessen wrote, neatly and precisely described this situation in a most unbiased manner. It was entitled;

“America on its way to the divorce court”, which originally appeared in the Washington Post.

Ref: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/06/24/america-is-on-its-way-to-divorce-court.html.

I have an excerpt or two, because I believe its worth the space.

“There is a place for contempt in our public discourse. We should have contempt for a regime in North Korea that brutalized a young American student named Otto Warmbier. We should have contempt for a regime in Syria that uses poison gas to massacre innocent men, women and children. We should have contempt for Islamic State terrorists who behead Americans, burn people alive in cages and systematically rape Yazidi girls.

But we should not have contempt for each other”.

No one is responsible except the would-be assassin. But his actions should serve as a wake-up call that the demonization of our

6

Page 7: churchofgodworldwide.comchurchofgodworldwide.com/wp-content/uploads/...JULY …  · Web viewFrom man’s rebellious beginning in the garden, where the newly created woman “thought”

fellow Americans who disagree with us has gone too far. The culture of contempt permeating our politics has now had near-fatal consequences. We need to put on the brakes and learn how to distinguish once again between our opponents and our enemies.

Case in point: A few weeks before the Alexandria shooting, Hillary Clinton gave a commencement speech at Wellesley College where she declared that Trump’s budget is “an attack of unimaginable cruelty on the most vulnerable among us, the youngest, the oldest, the poorest” (emphasis added). No, it is not. Using nerve agent on the innocent is “an attack of unimaginable cruelty.” Putting a hapless college student into a coma is an “attack of unimaginable cruelty.” Reducing the growth of government spending is not.

No doubt, Trump has contributed mightily to our descent into the culture of contempt. (For example, the media is not the “enemy of the American people,” Mr. President). But since Trump’s election, the scope and scale of political contempt on the left have reached unprecedented heights. Just a few months ago, when President Barack Obama was in office, it would have been unimaginable for a comedian to proudly pose for a photo holding up the president’s bloody, severed head”.

Leaving a great deal of the article out, still I believe the sentiment speaks volumes for the descent of Americans into this hate for each other now borders on civil war.

The hue and cry of the left has become even more shrill, putting the teeth of most “normal” thinking conservatives on edge!

What the writer will show in this newsletter is not just the “intellectual”-war being waged in the U.S and creeping out to many parts of the west, but that it is now reaching a crescendo in all nations, and what must be considered in this mix,

is the effects of this misapplication of human-interaction. What will the effects be on the next generations of our children and youth, who are being subverted through the educational monstrosities called universities, where they can now restrict free-speech, attack speakers whom they do not agree with, and hold violent protests as often as they feel their rights being infringed?

Add to that the modern media, social media and technology, one of the modern world’s most devious infiltration methods!

The “attraction” of the wests left-socialist policies to other envious of their wealth, nations such in Asia, Africa, Europe, the middle east is that of wealth, ease, freedom, accessible education and medicine, monetary comfort and riches, and lives of privilege.

In reality, this is not about anything other than power, or other less wealthy nations seeking to enrich themselves, and because our western nations have been blessed, all Gentile nations want those blessings!

Why did they only seem to be poured out upon the western nations? Because we have descended from the line of righteous Abraham, whose tribes spread out over the entire west!

The blessings of national wealth and power have now long since fled the 2-tribe birthright promises made to Manasseh and Ephraim through Joseph.

The one great nation be the United States, and the company of nations being the United kingdom of Great Britain, which came down from the promises God made to faithful Abraham.

The Gentile nations do not want to integrate and obey the host nations, and a further problem is added.

As a result the multi-cultural melting pot of the western nations has seen major upheavals, given many nations,

7

Page 8: churchofgodworldwide.comchurchofgodworldwide.com/wp-content/uploads/...JULY …  · Web viewFrom man’s rebellious beginning in the garden, where the newly created woman “thought”

cultures and beliefs can only cause racial tensions leading to violence and strife after strife!

What the west is learning all too slow, is that those nations have virtually stripped bare the west of almost all of its wealth, the sea gates it originally controlled where vast portions of the worlds wealth flowed, have all been lost!

God gave those blessings as a birthright to our nations, but being weak, and wanting to please others, we knelt down and did obeisance to their ods, tried to talk, and dress like them, all the while going to our “lovers” instead of our God!

The usual translations use the word lovers. To make plainer The Word of God’s warnings, I have used a few easy to understand translations. His people who go after their lovers

Notice now, one of God’s condemnations of this “global-thinking” from the modern tribes that have come down from Israel, through Abraham.

Jeremiah 30:14 (ERV) You became friends with many nations, but those nations don't care about you. Your 'friends' have forgotten you. I hurt you like an enemy. I punished you very hard. I did this because of your great guilt. I did this because of your many sins.

God was not only warning Israel and Judah of that time, but as the prophets were so inspired, their writings almost always have duality, a first type, usually physical, then the 2nd-type, usually spiritual or both.

What the modern tribes of our nations in the west do in this age, is to attempt to buy their “lovers”, their friends, but The LORD God wanted His people to be leaders, not followers, toad the rest of the world in righteousness, to become a nation and a kingdom of Priests.

God promised them that five of them would put to flight one hundred, and one hundred would put to flight ten

thousand! And that no man or nation would be able to stand before them.

Lev 26:3  If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; 

Lev 26:4  Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 

Lev 26:5  And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. 

Lev 26:6  And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. 

Lev 26:7  And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 

Lev 26:8  And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 

Lev 26:9  For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. 

Lev 26:12  And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people. 

Notice a further promise regarding wealth, where all nations would lend from them, and not the other way around.

Deut.15:6  For the LORD thy God blesses thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee. 

What was the condition for this blessing? OBEDIENCE! That’s all.

Instead, they have become the most indebted nations on the face of the earth.

Further into this prophetic book, God promised them blessings above all peoples!

Deuteronomy 28:1-2 (ERV) "Now, if you will be careful to obey the LORD your God and follow all his commands that I tell you today, the LORD your God will put you high above all the nations on earth.

If you will obey the LORD your God, all these blessings will come to you and be yours:

God then had Moses record the blessings HE was promising them in everything from the soil, in livestock and foodstuffs and abundance in all things so that all nations would know of a certainty that they were HIS people.

Notice further down in the same chapter; Deuteronomy 28:13-15. (ERV) The LORD will make you be like the head, not the tail. You will be on top, not on the bottom. This will happen if you listen to the commands of the LORD your God that I tell you today. You must carefully obey these commands.

“You must not turn away from any of the teachings that I give you today. You must not turn away to the right or to the left. You must not follow other gods to serve them.

That prophecy is being fulfilled in the United States, the former Great Britain, in Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the list goes on and on!

WAR BEGUN!

The facts, as shown in the May-June edition should help us to appreciate that the next steps are only going to worsen, given mankind refuse to see that

this system simply isn’t working, and could never work.

What we see going on all over this troubled planet is in reality nothing less than the early stages of an all out WAR ready to break out!

That is coming! Let’s never make any mistake about that and we are only in the early stages, the foothills as it has been termed. Only now, the foothills have become frequent skirmishes and breakout attacks, as the forces gather in ever growing numbers against the “norms”, against the principals, against marriage, against the family institution itself, as the prophecy said in Isaiah chapter 3, The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves. 

The ERV translation is a little more specific;

Isaiah 3:9 (ERV) The look on their faces shows that they are guilty. They are like the people of Sodom; they don't care who sees their sin. But it will be very bad for them. They will get what they deserve.

Today, the left, are now cloaking their intention to destroy the institution God created with their deception, in seeking marriage “equality”, more weasel words from liars in authority trying to please their “voters” who keep them in power!

In this, they have almost “normalised” “gay-relationships”, in women leading our societies in “education”, in the family, in business, in Governments, in political and other “equal-rights” movements, and using the masked rhetoric of veiled words under Satanic influence and are a stench in the nostrils of Almighty God!!!

It might not seem strange to any who have been around and in God’s Truth for any number of years, but to the blinded, it all seems quite normal.

The ideological war is being waged, in the media, the internet and social media, in our schools, and universities, in local and federal governments, and the list goes on and on.

It is without doubt, the “power,” the media and social-media has that largely drive all of this corruption into moral squalor, and the departure from all values and decency.

THE WEST AS WE KNOW IT TO DISAPPEAR!

What our nations have ignorantly been doing is fulfilling the purpose of the great Deceiver, in rejecting their Creator, is that they, the entirety of the Western nations are heading for a Great War, greater than WWI, and WWII and all the modern wars, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Syria, Israel-Palestine.

And is that of an HORRIFIC WAR that will BE truly BEYOND human comprehension, so says The Mighty God of Jacob!

Look for instance at the 51st chapter of Jeremiah, and read the entirety thereof, and you will find that God is bringing war to this world, starting with His own people, as many places in scripture clearly reveal, it will be the time of “Jacobs” trouble.

For Jacob, read the modern tribes of the west!

(Jeremiah 51:27 ERV) "Lift up the war flag in the land! Blow the trumpet in all the nations! Prepare the nations for war against Babylon. Call these kingdoms to come fight against Babylon: Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz. Choose a commander to lead the army against her. Send so many horses that they are like a swarm of locusts.

Jeremiah 51:27 (ERV) "Lift up the war flag in the land! Blow the trumpet in all the nations! Prepare the nations for war against Babylon. Call these kingdoms to come fight against Babylon: Ararat,

Minni, and Ashkenaz. Choose a commander to lead the army against her. Send so many horses that they are like a swarm of locusts. (Emphasis mine.)

RISING “BEAST” POWER

France, having recently voted in President Macron, will find themselves on the wrong side of many Governments, and given their leftist mantra is all too often based on politicking, rather than dealing with causes of problems, leftist and centrist governments are too concerned with not offending too many voters in order to protect their job, or what we used to say, protecting ones backside!

The facts of history bear the writer out in many of the above, but as we know, 70-100 years ago, at least they had some “idea” about morals, etiquette, manners and decency, and where even our Judeo-Christian religion was untouchable, as deceived as it is in all of its forms, whereas today, the “melting-pot” nations been infiltrated by her enemies who are now within, and being attacked, like the proverb of a dog biting the hand that feeds them contrary to what God instructed “ancient-Israel” not to mix with other nations. Deut.32:8.

They were to be an example to all other nations, but they were told by God that they had to rid the murderous heathens of the land, or…

… “that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell. (Numbers.33:55.)

Israel has blended and seeded themselves through every nation on earth, in spite of the promises God made to them. Again, see Deaut.28; whole chapter.

Consequently, all nations most of the nations of the west in particular are under the same curse with many self-

inflicted troubles continuing to plague human-kind on an ever-increasing scale.

God has revealed that certain nations that would rise against other nations. In this frame and because we are living through “end-time prophecies related to our very times, notice where God had Daniel write specifically about “World-Powers” that had been inexistence, and world-powers that would rise through successive historical times following on from that time.

The context here is that of a great vision spanning thousands of years from the time this vision was given, and where the symbolic language represents these ‘four’ rising world powers, where the comparisons given to each of them represent differing attributes of their power, timeframe, and smaller powers that would have association with them.

But notice verse seven, which speaks of having 10-horns, or “10-sub-powers attached”, and the horn among them which spoke “great things”. The dialogue now taking on the text of a ruler.

Dan 7:1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters. Dan 7:2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven brake forth upon the great sea. Dan 7:3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. Dan 7:4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon two feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. Dan 7:5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in his mouth between his teeth: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. Dan 7:6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon

the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. Dan 7:7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, terrible and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. Dan 7:8 I considered the horns, (Rulers) and, behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots: (Making room for this ruler to come) and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things. Speaking symbolically of one being given great authority and speaking great pronouncements.

Because of the times in which we are living, the signs we are told to watch for, are for our own protection, and the protection of our families.

As the meercat is watchful, imitate this right example, to carefully and diligently watch all that The Lord said will come, and be ready, so that we be not being caught UNAWARES as so many will evidently be.

We are not without help and protection, but we must do our part, by reading and re-reading biblical prophecies the servants of our God have pointed God’s people to, in order to receive salvation, by watchful prayer and remaining obedient to the our God, we will have the greatest opportunity to avoid the war that is coming!

Let us continue to examine and magnify what we are beginning to see playing out all over this world, stay close to The Word of God, and be ready always to flee. Have no care for the things of this world, but pray for God to bring His kingdom, the world to come.

Thy will be done O LORD our God!,

Remember, children of light do not the works of darkness, and evil, nor follow the blind into a ditch. (ESV) Eph.5:8 for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.

Ephesians 5:6 (CEV) Don't let anyone trick you with foolish talk. God punishes everyone who disobeys him and says foolish things.

Ephesians 5:7 (CEV) So don't have anything to do with anyone like that.

Ephesians 5:8 (CEV) You used to be like people living in the dark, but now you are people of the light because you belong to the Lord. So act like people of the light

Ephesians 5:9 (CEV) and make your light shine. Be good and honest and truthful,

Ephesians 5:10 (CEV) as you try to please the Lord.

Ephesians 5:11 (CEV) Don't take part in doing those worthless things that are done in the dark. Instead, show how wrong they are.

Ephesians 5:12 (CEV) It is disgusting even to talk about what is done in the dark.

Ephesians 5:13 (CEV) But the light will show what these things are really like.

Ephesians 5:14 (CEV) Light shows up everything, just as the Scriptures say, "Wake up from your sleep and rise from death. Then Christ will shine on you."

Ephesians 5:15 (CEV) Act like people with good sense and not like fools.

Ephesians 5:16 (CEV) These are evil times, so make every minute count.

Ephesians 5:17 (CEV) Don't be stupid. Instead, find out what the Lord wants you to do.

SOURCE OF ALL WORLD EVILS

As this world is in abject ignorance to the real causes of its problems in escalation of all world evils, including poverty and starvation, pollution of our planet, it’s water ways, soil and seas, disease epidemics and all sickness, poor cereal grain crops dwindling, year by year decade upon decade, and with this the ever increasing poor management by its rulers and political leaders in handling our falling employment and economic gross domestic product, poor educational systems, the political failures both internally, and internationally, it is little wonder he realizes there is a cause for all human woes, suffering and endless miseries.

What is it? HIMSELF! He is the problem. Everything he chooses, from the music, the education, the clothing types, style, “fashions” there’s another good one. Poor choices do not end in anything so far mentioned, finances and tax are on opposite sides of the scale in ever widening measures due to man’s inability to balance his own budget.

With poor financial management, there’s poor food and land management in flooding the soil with agro-chemicals. God says rest the land every 7-years, man strips the land bare of its minerals and goodness. God says rest every 7th-day , man opens 24-hour 7-day a week businesses, drinking establishments, houses of ill-repute and all manner of debauched sexual practices accompanying those errors, from one to another, on, and on, and on without ever an end in sight.

He, mankind says he is not the blame for the violence, the hatred and escalating social unrest, or the corruption in every sphere of human life. He says it’s the other guys fault when he can’t get along with his fellow man, and in some

cases, that may be true, ISIS being an exception, but even that was cause by poor management of the middle east withdrawal by Obama.

Out of control immigration in Europe is apparently not the Europeans fault, and racial riots in the U.S is not the elected leaders fault, neither is the dissension of the genders from clearly created and defined male and female to some abomination made by man. As it is with the most violent war being waged on the fabric of our entire world, the institution of marriage which the Creator God made for man, he also despises, the very thing which generates families, builds societies and therefore generates everything man has, including finance, yet, blinded, weak “leaders” allow the lying false rhetoric of the evil LGBT and “gay” rights brigade to infest our world, using slippery terms such as “equal-rights”, equal marriage, equal opportunities, non-discrimination against other races and particularly, women.

The attacks on our societies are a never-ending stream of wickedness, and the whole ‘thing’ is quite literally ready to COLLAPSE under the sheer weight of its own FILTH!

THE SOLUTION

Any armed with the knowledge of God know that the solution, as far as mankind are concerned, is to begin obeying God. But we know that is not going to happen, at least in the short term. In the end, all will bow to God’s supreme authority, (Isa.45:23.) and have to give an account of himself, or herself. Right now, they refuse but there will be no more at that time any people or individual leaning to his own understanding, or going off to do his or her own thing, because there will be One WAY as the LORD is ONE, and HIS people will be one under The One-GOD and they will know Him, from the least to the “greatest”, they will not need to have someone encourage them to keep God’s Sabbaths, or be an holy people, because they are doing their own-thing,

being separated from God and His people anymore forever!

Heb.8:11 And they shall not teach every man his fellow–citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them.

God speed that time, but in the interim, let us ensure we please God in knowing His Word, and therefore know Him. This is our chance to willingly choose all that God’s Word teaches and gives, for surely, many have been called, but few will be chosen in that time. At least those who have been called who have had the astounding opportunity to have been called, (invited) to partake in Christ’s likeness, to share in the splendour that He has made available in bringing many sons to glory in the coming kingdom!

FINAL WORD

This Newsletter as the writer has already indicated, is intended for all those willing to be warned, not for the contentious, the scoffers, or those not wanting to be woken out of their slumber.

It must be pointed out therefore that there is a great need to let Gods prophecies shed more light on us, immerse our minds in them, and in the entire Word of God that we may remain bright, not believe in false prophecies or false prophets, but likewise, not despise prophesying’s! (I Thess.5:20.)

To a darkened world, prophecy, or The Bible, is of little consequence, but to God’s children of the light, it is of PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE!

1Th.5:5  Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 

1Th.5:6  Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

1Th.5:7  For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 

1Th 5:8  But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 

1Th.5:9  For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 

1Th.5:10  Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

CLOSING REMARKS

The inspired scriptures are for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world will come, because God has promised Life before the world began, and has allowed them to peer through time and space via the prism of His eternal Word which gives light, and life, and began the process we are in the midst of, to realize and inherit the kingdom prepared for you, and me, before the world began, as says all the prophets, of whom Jesus Christ will usher in the new millennium of God’s sons ruling forever, and ever!

Tit.1:2  In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; 

Tit.1:3  But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; 

Man does not know why he is, perpetually fighting, squabbling, warring, hating, killing, filled with vile works and deeds, what his ultimate purpose is, why he was created, or why he rejects his-own maker, but He will in God’s right time, and then, there will be no more rebellion forever!

LAST GASP LOOK AT MAN’S WORLD

With all types of crime, particularly violent crimes increasing at

alarming rates, humanity are helpless to stem the effects of what is in reality, A Godless world, enslaved by his-own rebellious and wilful mind, devoid of real wisdom. That is one of the greatest tragedies mankind are foolishly oblivious to, given his propensity to “intelligence” and the vanity thereof, as we began with at the start of this newsletter, pointing to the fact that the first woman took of the ‘tree’ that was desired to make one “wise”.

It didn’t, and humankind ignorantly think the most educated, the most intelligent are the wise who lead u, the people, when the fact is, real wisdom cannot be found in this world of man. Jer.10:23; Says; It is not in man that walks to direct his steps!

Job 28:12-13 Says;  But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living. 

The so-called “Intellectual War” being waged upon and by gullible man is a sham, because no wisdom can come of it, only evil, pain, sufferings, and death!

The answers are many in reality, but here in Job.28:28; And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. 

Mankind will soon have to face his maker according as the Almighty has purposed to bring an horrific wrath down upon the heads of all living human-beings, except for a microscopically few!

GOD’S ANSWER

Mat.25:32  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: Mat.25:33  And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Mat.25:34  Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom

prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 

The world that then is introduced to all human-beings will be world of utter peace forevermore, the very peace mankind are in desperate need of, but scoff at as impossible to achieve! I have heard this first-hand, once the person questioning you can pigeon-hole you, then comes the predictable scoffing at your belief in God’s writing that a utopia is to be introduced to this earth.

Believe me when I tell you that it is well worth being ridiculed for your express belief in The Word of God, His purposed Utopia, the 1000-year rest from Satan’s influence in the Sabbath of God’s saints. You, and I, and many others are in training for positions in that Government, now!

Isa.9:7  Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

It is almost inexpressible how utterly blessed God’s true people are, and how mightily The LORD of Hosts will enable each and every one of us that are alive and remain at that particular time to prevail through what are foretold as unspeakable horrors! His almighty promises to protect and shelter, even hide His people from the face of the serpent who will seek to destroy them from off the face of the earth show how momentously they, we, will need to be focussed on being ready will reveal the hearts of many!

May God bless, guide and direct our hearts into the patient waiting of The LORD, we certainly will need to be very close to The Word of our LORD in all manner of godliness.

Thankfully, there is hope for human-kind, though the woes will grow worse from year to year, in the mean-time, remember, no matter how bad everything gets in this world, you, we if faithful, are promised eternal life!

1Th 5:9  For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ
