What seest thou?

Vanity of vanities, ALL IS VANITY.

Ecclesiastes 1:2

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 2:11

Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 2:15

Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 2:17

Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

Ecclesiastes 2:19

And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.

Proverbs 30:8

Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:

Psalms 39:5

Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.

“VANITY” – Oxford dictionary – “the quality of being worthless or futile”

What prompted King Solomon to proclaim vanity of vanities?

During his reign, his kingdom was secure; prosperity and riches abound; and yet at the end, he saw that all is vanity.

How can that be?

What did he see that made him tremble at his core?

Is he the same person that wrote “Song of Solomon”?

In all his wisdom, King Solomon allowed idolatry to endure in his family which was his first grave mistake. He allowed too much religious freedom among his many wives and concubines mainly also because many of them were only there due to political alliances or just plain old lusts after strange women and he did not keep the LORD’s Commandments. King Solomon in all his wisdom did not follow after the will of the LORD but followed after the will of his strange wives and their strange gods. In the end, his Kingdom was ripped apart into pieces because he did evil in the sight of the LORD.

1st Kings 11:4

“For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.”

1st Kings 11:5

“For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.”

1st Kings 11:6

“And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.”

1st Kings 11:7

“Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of

Moab

, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.”

1st Kings 11:8

“And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.”

Even a wise King should need a good counsellor by his side.

When the Glory and Splendour of the LORD left King Solomon, everything to him had become vanity.

The earth is full of the glory of the LORD.

Can the earth survive without the sunlight?

Can a man survive without the illumination and love of the LORD?

Can the animals and plants give out sunlight by themselves?

Their images that we see, are they merely a reflection of the sunlight?

Without sunlight, all is black; without sunlight all will not be able to exist.

The parables of the sun, moon and stars are just lessons to be learned about and in relation to God.

Please DO NOT go worshipping the sun, moon and stars like heathens do.

Please refrain from witchcraft and black magic; the Lord will destroy those that deal with these strange crafts – to the Israelites first and to the Gentiles also.

All works of man without the LORD is VANITY.

Be it good or bad is all nothing but vanity.

A wise King sitting upon his throne alone is vanity;

A fool and a jester sitting on the floor is vanity;

A person working hard with his hands is vanity;

A lazy person idling about with nothing to do is vanity;

A person with plenty of good food to eat is vanity;

A person dying of hunger is vanity;

A couple in love is vanity;

A lonely man out of love is vanity;

Everything under the sun is VANITY without the LORD.

Psalms 55:22

Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Proverbs 18:14

The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?

Who is the sustainer of life; that we can so easily ignore?

Who is the giver of life; that we did not hesitate to crucify HIM ???

Ecclesiastes 7:1

A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.

Isaiah 13:12

I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

Isaiah 28:16

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

Hiding under the warmth and protection of the LORD MOST HIGH Jesus of Nazareth.

Psalms 119:50

This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

Matthew 23:37

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Psalms 17:8

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

Psalms 64:2

Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

Psalms 143:9

Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

Isaiah 32:2

And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

Psalms 32:7

Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

Psalms 119:114

Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

Isaiah 2:5

O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

Esther 8:16

The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.

For those who have reared chickens before might easily understand the verse in Matthew 23:37.

My dad liked to rear chickens and ducks occasionally. He would buy newly hatched chicks and place them in a box of shredded newspapers and place a warm light bulb just slightly above the box. In the afternoon, he would bring them out to the garden to play under the warm sunlight and at night he would switch on the light bulb to keep the chicks warm. All the chicks would gather themselves near the light bulb to keep warm. One thing we noticed is that chicks can die off relatively fast if left out in the cold. (sorry to say that there were a day or two when we forgot to switch on the light bulb at night or the light bulb burnt out during the night)

In kampung/rural village areas one can always get to see chickens running around the compound. Chicks depend heavily on the hen’s protection, comfort and warmth during the night or rainy seasons by hiding or snuggling under the hen’s wings.

2nd Kings 4:32

And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.

2nd Kings 4:33

He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.

2nd Kings 4:34

And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

2nd Kings 4:35

Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

Our dependence on the LORD is NOT a sign of weakness or insecurity, as it is for our own protection and guidance because we are still very young and there is so much more to know and learn from the LORD. One of the main things to master is to be responsible for our own actions.

In the Bible, we are often referred to as “little children”. We often think we have grown up at the age of 16 or 61 but in fact we are very much relatively still young, naïve and ignorant. Think of the times of Adam and Eve when people lived to around one thousand years old. Noah was well over 400 years old when he got married. In Noah’s time, the world was already in deep moral decay.

In the Biblical timing of 1 day is equivalent to 1000 years.

It can be used as a parable from the LORD that in 1 day God made man; that is only after 1000 years can a person “begin” to grasp (not even “fully” yet) what it is to be a responsible man; before that you are still basically a child.

Today the age of consent should be at least 21 years old instead of 13 or 16 in many countries.

If it were up to me, there is NO consent under any age until the day you die or at least until the day you are physically and spiritually ready to take FULL responsibility for your own actions and 16 years old is hardly the age of responsibility, more like an age of the illusion of responsibility when a 16 year old child wants to be free and thinks that he or she is not answerable to anyone but himself. But the FACT is, a child is a child and at 16 you do not have the number of years to garner enough experience to be responsible.

Just ENJOY your childhood for heaven’s sake. Do you want to be bogged down by the heavy responsibility of broken hearts or raising children when you are basically still a child yourself?

A child should be given enough time and protection to enjoy their childhood innocence. Protection and nurturing should be the primary objective for parents to give to their children – not expensive toys and pretty clothes.

Anyone who wants to get married should ask permission from their parents before doing so. For those who are alone, who do not have parents and no senior members in their family or no senior Church elders in their communities should still seek God’s guidance and consent in prayer before venturing out into the world.

Isaiah 34:8

For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.

Isaiah 34:9

And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into a brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

Isaiah 34:10

It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.

Isaiah 34:11

But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.

Isaiah 34:12

They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.

People who chose to believe and teach evolution of species from nothingness/water/stone just because they do not wish to acknowledge that there is a Creator looking out for their well being. Evolutionists in a way, is not wrong; man was made from the dust of the earth and from nothing was the earth made. But who gave man animation and a perpetual spirit? Evolutionists just left the Creator out of their picture and it is not wrong that if their Creator is left out of the picture, then they will return back to their theory of nothingness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in total darkness.

Even so, for those who believe and pray to rocks and images of idols, statues of “Mary” so called mother of Jesus and many others so called saints; do so just to "spite" the Lord’s Ten Commandments.

[by the way, the real Mary who gave birth to Jesus is safe in her heavenly abode – she does not hear your prayers because she is not your Creator. Only your Creator, the LORD Most High listens to your prayers and makes decisions on what to do with your prayers. - how many times do we have to hammer the Ten Commandments into the heads of the Roman Catholics before they understand where they went wrong? If they still do not understand, then it is very clear that they are worshipping ANOTHER Jesus who is an Antichrist because the Jesus who came to us 2000 years ago, he came as a Jew. ]

Who then is the one normally associated with so much spitefulness and malevolence? Lucifer and his fallen angels (also known as ANTICHRISTS) have separated themselves from their Creator, the giver of life. If you leave and separate yourselves from the light and life, what is left is only darkness and death. Lucifer and Mammon used to sit at the right and left hand of the LORD Most High. After their departure, the LORD has replaced them with Michael on His right hand side and Gabriel on His left hand side.

Luciferians Christians may display a few similar attributes as anointed Christians and may even preach similar topics as Christians do because know and understand that Lucifer used to work for the LORD Most High long before man was created; Lucifer knows all the workings of the LORD and he has been trying to get people to worship him the same way as they are suppose to worship the LORD Most High. That is why the devil is able to confuse, deceive and seduce even the elect of God.

(I will attempt to describe in more detail next time)

Mark 13:22

For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

Exodus 20:4

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

	Isaiah 44:15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.
	Isaiah 44:16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
Isaiah 44:17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.
Isaiah 44:18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
Isaiah 44:19 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
Isaiah 44:20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

Recently an acquaintance of mine took his own life because he made a few honest mistakes and lost all of his client’s money. He was an investment broker/banker. Why is a white-collar job just as hazardous as a person working in a nuclear facility or a policeman or in the army?

If you join the army or police force, you are directly prepared to accept the risk of death.

Why God did not intervene to save his life? He believed in God and is a Christian.

Is money a form or part of the mark of the beast?

We are not allowed to buy or sell without it.

Millions and Billions of people throughout the centuries have died and are crushed because of it.

Men have set themselves on fire because they are overwhelmed by it.

Revelation 13:17

"And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

Revelation 14:11
"And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."

Corrupt people have worshipped money by letting money dictate who they are and what they do.

Filthy rich men have thought of themselves as gods, when they surround themselves with lots of money and fame. They give thought to nothing else but ways to find money.

I am pretty sure that they jolly well know that there is NO WAY for them to bring all those money that they have stolen to the grave with them onto the next life.

So why do they still worship money?

Those people who worship money simply because they DO NOT want to honour the Living God who created them.

Tares have to find other means and ways to replace the LORD Most High; and what has taken in the place of GOD, is an antigod, an antichrist.

For those who would bring honour to the Lord Most High, they do not idolize money.

Worldly people have coveted money, gold and precious commodities in all forms and manner. Because of money, people are wiling to kill, steal and destroy in order to get it.

Greedy people, are willing to kill millions of people by hunger so that they can keep the price of commodities high.

They are willing to go through great lengths and device complicated methods (stock market / complicated banking and investment & debt transfers) in order to steal what they cannot earn.

They have no qualms or conscience when it comes to destroying other people, destroying the earth, and in the process, destroying themselves in order to make a quick buck.

The Police and the Army learn to defend themselves by physical combat and psychological warfare; and yet they are NOT immune to death.

What about the rest of us?

How can we defend ourselves from ravenous wolves (antichrists)?

How can you defend yourselves from the world of Babylon that tells you that you are worthless?

Money (the mark of the beast) tells a money worshipper that the monetarily poor people are worthless because they do not have any money in their pockets.

So, what is the “worth” of a person?

Proverbs 10:20

“The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.”

How do you fight to survive in Babylon?

There are no bystanders in this fallen world of Babylon / the Kingdoms of the 4 Beasts. Defend yourselves in the LORD or be consumed by the many antichrists.

Learn therefore to defend yourselves with the ARMOUR OF GOD. (Ephesians 6:11-17)

Ephesians 6:11
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Ephesians 6:12
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.

Ephesians 6:13
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.

Ephesians 6:14
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

Ephesians 6:15
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Ephesians 6:16
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

Ephesians 6:17
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Ecclesiastes 4:1

So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.

Ecclesiastes 4:2

Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.

Ecclesiastes 4:3

Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 4:4

Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

Ecclesiastes 4:5

The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.

Ecclesiastes 4:6

Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.

Ecclesiastes 4:7

Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 4:8

There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

Ecclesiastes 4:9

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

Ecclesiastes 4:10

For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

Ecclesiastes 4:11

Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?

Ecclesiastes 4:12

And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Ecclesiastes 4:13

Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.

Ecclesiastes 4:14

For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor.

Ecclesiastes 4:15

I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.

Ecclesiastes 4:16

There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

TO BURN OR NOT TO BURN

2011-12-06T19:28:00.003+08:00

Additions on 7th December 2011
Additions on 14th December 2011

TO BURN THE EARTH OR NOT TO BURN THE EARTH, THAT IS THE QUESTION.

Isaiah 6:3

And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
(* 28th December 2011)

Revelation 11:18

"And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth."

Many Church leaders both in the mainstream as well as in cult denominations have preached and are still preaching that the earth is going to be burnt up at the end of the age.

There are quite a number of verses in the Bible that mentioned the melting away of elements and also those many 2012 biblical and non-biblical prophecies running around.

For example:-

2 Peter 3:10

“But the day of the Lord will come as athief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a greatnoise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and theworks that are therein shall be burned up.”

But in this case, I beg to differ, as it will be leaning more towards the "poetic" Psalms 112:10.

Psalms 112:10

“The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.”

Isaiah 66:22

“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.”

Please understand that the preaching of "rapture" during the tribulation of the earth has long been somewhat distorted. Christians will and have been going through some form tribulation for the past 2000 years in various manners and at different times, (while some are spared from harsh tribulations) and all shall come out of the tribulation as gold tried in fire; but the wicked shall receive their judgement from Jesus Christ and righteous retribution.

There is no such thing as "Christians" escaping the tribulation in a so called “rapture” and leaving the earth to be burnt up together with all unbelievers or did they mean

Israel

and ALL non-Christians?

Matthew 21:31

“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.”

Matthew 21:32

“For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.”

Matthew 7:21

“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.”

Truly IF none righteous is left on earth today, the LORD will burn up all the earth (Luke 17:29).

But there are many true believers of Jesus of Nazareth here on earth and

Israel

is here to stay.

The two Angels of the LORD that surveyed Sodom and Gomorrah are also surveying today's Sodom and Babylon.

The report on the survey of today’s Sodom and Gomorrah/Babylon is favourable and a little MORE than a very small remnant is left unto us. (Isaiah 1:9)

As such, the LORD Most High, WILL SPARE ALL the place/earth for their sakes.

Isaiah 1:9

Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

Isaiah 1:10

Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

Genesis 18:26

And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.

Genesis 19:24

Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

Luke 17:29

But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

2 Peter 2:6

And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

Malachi chapter 4 – verse 1,

“For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.”

Malachi 4:2 –

“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.”

Malachi 4:3 –

And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

Malachi 4:4 –

Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all

Israel

, with the statutes and judgments.

Malachi 4:5 –

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

Malachi 4:6 –

And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Matthew 17:11

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

When the LORD Most High aka Jesus of Nazareth returns, it will be for judgement of the peoples of the earth and NOT for cleaning up the war torn countries or burnt up earth.

The purpose of Jesus Christ’s return is NOT to wipe our behinds. Why do preachers expect GOD to return as a maid to clean up after His children?

We, each of us have to clean up our own backyards.

Each household, each company, each state and each nation are responsible to clean up after themselves.

Just like when Jesus commanded His Disciples to collect back all the bread and fish that was left thrown on the ground after He fed the 5000 people. Everything that Jesus did 2000 years ago are full of meaning and examples and nothing was done in vain.

So must all who serve the LORD do the same, leave nothing to waste and clean up after ourselves.

Isaiah 45:17

"But

Israel

shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end."

Ephesians 3:21

"Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen."

Sorry

2011-11-04T18:04:00.002+08:00

Love means never having to say you're sorry
Don't just say it, do it.

Word of the day:-

“SORRY”

The word “Sorry” as defined in the Oxford Dictionary :-

feeling distress, especially through sympathy (or compassion) with someone else’s misfortune.
feeling regret or penitence – used to express apology.
in a poor or pitiful state – unpleasant and regrettable.

“Penitent” – feeling or showing sorrow and regret for having done wrong / a person who repents their sins.

“Repent” – feel or express sincere regret or remorse.

If you truly love someone, you would try not to “do” anything regretful to the person(s) you love in the first place; and yet even the LORD once regretted having made mankind. And yet, the LORD does not need to apologize to anyone for making man, but instead devices plans and make personal sacrifies to save and redeem mankind.

Genesis 6:6

And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

Genesis 6:5

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Joshua 22:5

But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Psalms 119:97

O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

Saying sorry is of no use if a person does not feel regret and repent in his wrongdoing.

Love is more of a verb than a noun.

How do you prove that you love the LORD? It is by following, declaring and “doing” his commandment and law. (Joshua 22:5)

Proverbs 19:1

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

Mark 7:6

He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

"Love means never having to say you're sorry", was a line from the movie “Love Story” (1970 film). In this case, where the number 2 meaning in the dictionary applies.

Husband and wife, how do you prove to each other that you love one another? By remaining faithful to your marriage vows; everything else that comes with marriage is just sugar & spice. If a man or a woman says or declares that he or she will be faithful but commits adultery, has made void what he or she has declared and has made their marriage vows meaningless. You do not love and honour your spouse with your lips or just by saying sorry after you commit adultery; you love and honour your spouse with your integrity and commitment of faithfullness, never to commit adultery in the first place.

Proverbs 27:5
Open rebuke is better than secret love.

Harsh criticism is better than undeclared love because you are not doing anything or reacting on how you feel, for love is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit and if you do not react to love, it simply bears NO fruit. You give nothing and therefore you will get nothing in return. Out of love, God created a sustainable nature (animals and plants) for us to enjoy before He created man. God did not create man first and leave him waiting with nothing while He goes to create the universe; NO, God created a comfortable surrounding for us before He put Adam in the Garden of Eden.

Can the LORD secretly love us and not correct us at the same time when He sees us doing wrong things?

Can He secretly love us and not bestow upon us His many bountiful gifts?

Can the LORD secretly love us and not declare or tell us that He loves us?

If LOVE in kept in secret and not revealed in broad daylight, we would continue on with our evil ways (without His corrections), we will be utterly miserable and destitute (without His gifts of all sorts including the gifts of the Holy Spirit - i.e. peace, joy, love and etc) and we will feel unloved and abandoned (without His revealed presence and declaration).

That is why the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Jesus of Nazareth) will reveal Himself to the Children of Israel in the near future and return to us in broad daylight and live among us again openly the way He did 2000 years ago.

Matthew 7:11

If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Sometimes, I am so fearful of people that I practically start my sentences with the word “sorry”……. It is good to be courteous but saying the word too many times until it has lost its true meaning defeats the purpose. I guess you do not have to say sorry when you have not done any harmful things, but sometimes we say sorry hoping to calm things down especially with our enemies.

Even so, I did regrettable things especially to those people I love and did not say sorry.

Is it right then to say sorry to your enemies and not say sorry to your loved ones?

Sometimes, when I am feeling so tired and mad at everything, I tend to shout at the top of my voice at my mother and sister. Like every regrettable thing, I regret almost immediately after doing so but I did not say sorry to my mom or sis.

After many years, one day I exploded again and later I told my mother that I did not mean to shout at her and I told her that I am not sure how to say sorry to her (my mom); and she answered me in Cantonese which meant something similar to “love means never having to say that you are sorry”.

She said, “you don’t have to say anything because I understand what you are going through and I love you.” Each time I shouted, it is because she loved me first and whatever I did, she looked with the eyes of love at the grief and madness that overcame me. Because love is not judgmental, she did not look at my actions and she did not take my shouting personally, even as I try to lessen and hopefully fully refrain from shouting at home.

Even my dog Lucky is trying to teach us not to shout at mother. Sometimes when my sister shouted at my mother, Lucky will run to my mother’s side and will growl and bark very loudly AT my sister as if telling her not to shout at mother. When my sister stopped shouting, lucky will also stop barking at the same time and walk away………..

Luckily, Lucky has never barked at me (whenever I am shouting) the way he barked at my sister……..hhhhmmm strange……….

So how do we love our parents? Take care of them when they are not able to take care of themselves and hopefully with some respect regardless of whether you think they deserve it or not.

The LORD look at us through the lens of love and all He sees are little children running around, screaming and shouting at the world that has gone awry.

We look at GOD from our fallen world with our crooked lens from the crooked cage of religion and all we see is a crooked God.

We must first remove our crooked glass and straighten our crooked ways so that we can SEE HIM AS HE IS. (Which is NOT CROOKED.)

1 John 3:2

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

Isaiah 42:16

And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

Isaiah 40:3

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Matthew 17:11

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

Proverbs 27:7

The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

Song of Solomon 4:11

Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of

Lebanon

Exodus 16:31

And the house of

Israel

called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.

Psalms 78:25

Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.

John 6:58

This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

Revelation 2:17

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

What is the New Covenant of Jesus Christ?
Replacement Theology.
Why must there be a Third Temple?

***********************************************

What is the New Covenant of Jesus Christ?

God made many covenants or solemn faithful agreements of mutual commitment, first with Adam and Eve, a commandment not to eat from the tree of good and evil but that commandment was broken. So to give a brief summary of covenants, the following are a few examples:-

Covenants with Noah (Genesis 9:9);

covenants with Abraham (Father of many nations - Genesis 15:18, Genesis 17:2, Genesis 17:4, Genesis 17:7, Circumcision - Genesis 17:10, Genesis 17:11, Genesis 17:14);

covenants with Isaac (Genesis 17:19);

covenants with Moses and Israel (the Ten Commandments - Exodus 34:27 and many ordinances);

covenants with Levi (of peace and everlasting priesthood – Numbers 25:12, 13); and etc……

Then there were many different types of covenants made between men, i.e. between Abimelech and Abraham; between David and Jonathan, and etc….. Today, we see agreements between employers and employees; agreements between different countries, marriage oaths between husband and wife, etc…..

Before Jesus came, in general there were works and unperfected faith except for a few patriarchs who had great faith. After the death and resurrection of Jesus, He aim to put faith first and foremost, where faith abounds works will follow (James 2:22, 24). Jesus came as a Lamb for Isaac (Genesis 22:8, Matthew 15:24) and a Scapegoat for Israel (Leviticus 16:21).

Jesus came only for the lost sheep of Israel, to write the Law in their hearts or inward parts (our spirit connected with the Holy Spirit of the LORD) which means they no longer serve according to the flesh but serve according to the Spirit (Jeremiah 31:33); peoples from other nations and tongues are basically just dogs to Him, BUT if we Gentiles have faith in HIM, HE will not destroy us as God will remember HIS covenant with NOAH who was a Gentile. So we must REMEMBER the covenant He made with Noah and FOLLOW it.

But what is the New Covenant? (Hebrews 8:13)(Jeremiah 31:33)

In order to answer the question, you must look at what was the “OLD” covenant (Hebrews 9:4)(Jeremiah 31:32), we need to look inside the “Ark of the Covenant” – The Ten Commandments written on tables of stone, Aaron's rod that budded and a pot of manna. It would be great to find the actual "Ark of the Covenant" that was made during the time of Moses, and it would be a very great miracle indeed if the manna inside the Ark has not already DECAYED or the Bud from the Rod of Aaron has not already shrivelled or turned into dust. I am not indicating that miracles do not happen as miracles actually often do happen everywhere and at anytime but we are now merely examining the meaning of Hebrews 8:13

In the days of old, a person will drop dead on the spot if he touched the “Ark” even if by accident. Such harsh scare tactics did not work then to promote faith, neither will it do any good for us now.

That is why the LORD Himself had to make a new covenant with Israel, not with an “Ark of the Covenant” that will instill fear but a new covenant of love that will make its contents grow with faith in the hearts of all of Israel.

Remembering and faithfully following the Law of Moses in their hearts, like the dead rod Aaron that budded, so will the dead souls of men come alive and flourish and bud and flower with the gentle beauty and might of the HOLY SPIRIT of the LORD. The pot of manna from heaven where the WORD of the LORD is the manna from Heaven that the LORD will continually provide before all of Israel, Jehovahjireh !!!.

So, did Jesus come to destroy the Law of Moses? NO, He came to fulfil it – (Matthew 5:17)

Matthew 15:24
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

James 2:22
Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

James 2:24
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Genesis 22:14
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.

Matthew 5:17
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Genesis 22:8
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

Luke 4:29
And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.

Leviticus 16:10
But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.

Leviticus 16:21
And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:

Leviticus 16:22
And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
Numbers 25:12
Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:

Numbers 25:13
And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.

Jeremiah 31:31
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jeremiah 31:32
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:

Jeremiah 31:33
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Jeremiah 31:34
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Hebrews 8:7
For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

Hebrews 8:9
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

Hebrews 8:10
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

Hebrews 8:13
In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

Hebrews 9:1
Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

Hebrews 9:4
Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

Hebrews 10:16
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

Replacement Theology.

Replacement Theology or Supersessionism, where the Gentile Church supersedes or replaces Israel, preached by the Roman Catholic and many Christian Churches has turned all the ordinances, statutes and commandments of the LORD of Hosts, Words spoken by Jesus of Nazareth, the original meaning/purpose of Jesus’s ministry and the Blood of the New Covenant shed by Jesus Christ into TOTAL SACRILEGE and ABOMINATION.

When is a Jew not a Jew?
When replacement theology tells a gentile that he is a Jew but in reality he is not a Jew. (Revelation 3:9)

(Can you possibly tell a black man that he is white? You can “say” all you want that he is white but you only need to look at his face to know that he is not because he is “born” black. - “……….blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not……..,” – you have to be born a Jew, a Gentile cannot go around telling people that he is a Jew.)

Most early Church elders agree that the Roman Catholic Church (is a system of ideas and false ordinances to replace Israel) was indeed the “little horn” of Daniel 7:8 (The Vatican is both spiritual and political Kingdom) as the Roman Catholic Church stayed in power for almost 1260 years after the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 AD.

Daniel 7:8

"I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things."

“To the church in Smyrna write” (the period of the beginning of the Roman Catholic Church)

Revelation 2:9

"I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan."

“To the church in Philadelphia write” (the period of the Protestant Reformation)

Revelation 3:9

Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Revelation 13:3

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

What the Protestant Reformation did was to reveal the faults of the Roman Catholic Church and declare the Pope who was the “head” of the Roman Catholic Church as the Antichrist, manage to wound one of the heads of the beast but according to Revelation 13:3 but “his deadly wound was healed” because the Protestant Reformation only reduced the idolatry and practices of the Roman Catholic Church; it did not restore the message of Jesus of Nazareth to its original form (remove the replacement theology) nor did it attempt to restore the times and seasons observations (Daniel 7:25) that the Roman Catholic Church had changed from Judaism and the Law of Moses. As such, their overall system is still basically considered under the same “head” and under the same beast.

Daniel 7:25

"And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."

The Protestant Reformation also paved the way to further anarchy by opening the door of misinterpretation of the Bible in the hands of individuals, who then proceed to set up hundreds of denominations and cults as they further reduce and dilute the message of Jesus of Nazareth to sometimes practically a “one verse theology”; i.e. “You need to believe in Jesus in order to be saved”. This is perfectly a good line and it is true but you are saved by predestination (Romans 9:11).

You are not saved just because at one point in time in your life you declared that believed in Jesus. You are saved because you were born saved whether you are a Jew or a Gentile but you became spiritually dead and lost in the world system of Babylon, as in the parable of the prodigal son. Jesus came to call back or save his sheep that which was lost. In Luke 19:10, Zacchaeus was probably an Israelite but Jesus called him “a son of Abraham” instead of “a son of Jacob”; as such, Jesus was also prophesying that the descendants of Abraham as he was the father of many nations in the Middle East today, the LORD also wishes “to seek out and save that which was lost.”

Romans 9:11	"(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)"
Luke 19:9	"And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham."
Luke 19:10	"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."

Those tares are born tares, they are born unsaved and no matter what amount of sympathy or correction or help are given to a tare/goat, HE WILL REMAIN UNREPENTANT in his life and whatever a tare does he will only do it for himself – for example, the people in his life are merely tools for him to use (for example, trainers who recruit and execute suicide bombers to take human lives), once those tools cease to be of use or become old and worn out, he would throw them out. Women are merely sex objects to these people to satisfy their carnal animalistic lusts and are baby making machines to them (sounds like Prophet Muhammad’s “heaven”). That is why the kingdoms of the earth as described in the Book of Daniel and Revelation are liken unto “BEASTS”. Where humans have become like animals taking whatever they want and do whatever they like without subjecting themselves to conscience or consequence.

(But the Kingdom of God is the complete opposite where humans are born of God subjecting their actions to the consciousness of God and carefully weighing all options that are most beneficial.)

The Tare REFUSES to be subjected to the TRUTH and OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST. He is selfish and a liar. Repentance is considered weakness in the eyes of a tare/goat. Although many tares try to blend into the characters of the wheat, when they try to read the Bible, run a business, get married and start a family, and etc; but when harvest time is near, you will see that all tares normally destroys what they attempt to create. They will destroy their family, their businesses, their church and what ever they touch they either knowingly or unknowingly attempt to sow the seed of destruction to other people. These people have temporal powers (from the devil - John 8:44 – “Ye are of your father the devil,……..”) of charms and enigmatic presence through their deceitful speeches and empty promises (i.e. Adolf Hitler).

There are some Christian Churches that ‘do away” or “throw away” the WHOLE of the OLD TESTAMENT”. I have been to churches that only have the New Testament on their pews and even their pastors only have the New Testament in their hands.

It means to them that all the Covenants that the LORD made with His people from NOAH to the last prophet of

Israel

are considered as nothing and made void.

It means that they can conveniently do anything and everything that they want or desire because Christ died for them and that they are “saved” no matter what they do. This is Antichrist theology.

The LORD’s covenant with Noah tells us not to kill another person, not to eat an animal with blood or while its still alive and etc. Cold blooded killers and those who drink blood would love to join any Christian or Roman Catholic Church that preaches replacement theology.

Matthew 23:15

"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves."

Matthew 23:15 is a prophecy of Jesus most suited to the Roman Catholics and Protestant preachers that go around the world by land and sea to make converts and in the end, the converts become “twofold more the child of hell than themselves”. I do not remember since the beginning of the First Jewish Temple until now that the Jews ever went sailing around the world to convert other people to Judaism. With the Jews it is always the other way round, God fearing Gentiles usually come to Temple in Jerusalem to seek God.

Some preachers would pick several verses they like most (while throwing out the rest of the Bible) to use as their preaching mantra and make altar calls for “goats” and sheep alike to join in the fold as they declared them “saved” in the name of Jesus. They would ask, “Do you believe in Jesus?” If anyone says “yes”, the preacher will automatically tell him or her that they are saved. Did not the Bible say that even the Devil believe in God and tremble? This type of preaching only serves to recruit goats into a make believe heaven and does nothing to build up the lives of the sheep!!! While the goats thinking that they are saved, continue on with their rampage of “unrighteousness” to destroy their own lives as well as bewildering the sheep.

This goes without saying many individuals who read the Bible and think of themselves as the “Lord God Almighty”…………………………

Then there are hundreds if not thousands of speaking in tongues persons that have been told by their “holy spirit” while speaking in tongues or while meditating, that they are one of the “two witnesses of Revelation chapter 11”.

Almost every speaking in tongues pastor thinks that they are the prophet Elijah………. and they interpret Revelation 19:10 - “Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” as their speaking in tongues “spirit” prophesying.

Revelation 19:10

"And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

What the Angel of the Lord said in Revelation 19:10 actually meant was that he was also a fellow servant no different from those who preach the Gospel or Testimony of Jesus of Nazareth, i.e. the twelve disciples of Jesus (as he was speaking to John who one of the Disciples of Jesus) and subsequent preachers chosen by the Lord. The meaning of the phrase, “testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy”, is that whatever Jesus said or did during His three and a half years ministry, was in a form of prophecy. His WORDS were a double edged sword and twofold in meaning, both speaking to the people of His during His time and also He was actually outlining future events as well. Some of the things that Jesus said were not relevant to His time AT ALL resulting in many people including His own Disciples pondering and whispering among themselves what Jesus could have meant. The LORD gave His life as an example for us to follow.

(For those men who have children, what would be the easiest way to teach your child? By showing your child an example through your own actions and using your hands to carry your child to sit on the miniature toilet bowl or do you think that by shouting instructions across the room while you are sitting in your armchair reading newspaper or writing a 100 page lecture on how to use the toilet bowl is going to help potty train your little child?).

Your Heavenly Father came down to earth to train His Children Himself. He represented

Israel

first and foremost, but He also represented all the Gentile Wheat and Sheep when He was martyred on the Roman Cross. In other words, His martyrdom was also a prophecy.

Oxford Dictionary

- ORIGIN OE “martir”, via eccles. L. from Greek “martur” means “witness” (in Christian use, “martyr”)

Whosoever witness for Christ must be prepared for martyrdom. Although most of you today will escape martyrdom but there were many followers of Jesus who stood fast to the truth for the past 2000 years and were burnt at the stake and subjected to torture because of their beliefs. John the Baptist spent years in the desert wilderness to prepare for his witnessing duties.

Luke 9:23	"And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me."
Matthew 16:25	"For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it."
1 John 3:16	"Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren."

Today, for those evangelists, priests and pastors who think that testifying for the Word of God is just a means to pass your time, well think again!!! Unless you are called by the LORD Most High to do His bidding and you sincerely desire the serve the LORD wholeheartedly; otherwise it is better for you to change your vocation.

Isaiah 53:10

Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

There are many verses in the Bible that was not only referring to Jesus but also to Israel and to the Prophets of Israel, for example, Isaiah 53:10 cannot be wholly referring to Jesus of Nazareth because He did not get married and have children – “see his seed, he shall prolong his days”; although Jesus did offer up HIS SOUL as an offering for sin.

I have come across so many evangelists, preachers, pastors that are basically unbelievers of Jesus Christ because they do not believe anything that was written in the Bible. Some became pastors because it was their family members’ tradition; some became evangelists because of easy money; while some are in this “business” because they simply do not know what else to do; some are forced into being an evangelist by friends or family members who thought that they might be able to turn that “goat” of theirs into a sheep eventually, hoping that the years of holding on to a Bible in his hands might actually rub off on him.

Revelation 19:20

"And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone."

To all false prophets, false pastors, false evangelists, etc…………..

It is time for you to stop your “church ministry” and become a farmer or keep cattle. (Zechariah 13:2-5) Go and plant a vineyard or set up a corn plantation. Either you stop now or get ready to be thrown into a lake of fire; do not deceive people with your false humility as you cover your errors with much pizzazz coupled with signs and wonders.

For every miracle that Jesus of Nazareth did, the false Jesus that you are worshipping aims to replicate the miracles. The miracle that false prophets do are not from the Lord Most High, as it is merely a counterfeit Jesus working through them that has taken the place of the real HOLY SPIRIT; because of their replacement theology, they have also replace the Jewish Jesus with a Liberal Jesus.

Zechariah 13:2	And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
Zechariah 13:3	And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
Zechariah 13:4	And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:
Zechariah 13:5	But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

Top 5 most infamous mistakes of the Christian Church about the Bible: -

i) Throw away the “old testament” portion of the Bible.

ii) Replacement Theology thinking that the Christian Church has replaced

Israel

and that they are the “New Israel”.

iii) Christians thought that 2000 years ago, Jesus and His Disciples were talking to a Christian audience. NO, Jesus and His Disciples were talking to all of

Israel

but occasionally Gentiles that heard His sermons were actually liken unto dogs picking up crumbs that fell from the Master’s table.

iv) Christians thought that the 12 Disciples and those who believed were the first “Christians”. No, they were Torah observant Jews and Gentiles who accepted the message/Testimony of Jesus. They bear no resemblance at all to the so-called “Christians” that we see today.

v) Christians thought that Jesus died for the every single person on earth, which would imply that Jesus died for the “tares” and “goats” but He did not. Tares and goats (a form of “antichrist”) are complete opposite of the “wheat” and “sheep”. Tares despises all godly traits in man; tares are disobedient to God, common law and parents – i.e. they are lawlessness; deceivers and liars – i.e. wolves in sheep’s clothing, pretending to be good Christians but within their hearts are emptiness for they bear no fruits of their own. They are lovers of the material world and of themselves. (1^st John 2:15-16)

King Solomon though how wise he was; subjected Himself to the sins and desires of the flesh and idolatry with so many wives and concubines, which ultimately brought down his kingdom. Although I do not think that King Solomon was a tare but be careful, lest even a sheep maybe severely tempted with the lusts of this material world that he may fall into sin continually.

John 8:44 and John 8:47, Jesus was prophesying about the future corrupt church and well as to the listeners at the temple who were mostly mixed with many false converts to Judaism (antichrists 1^st John 2:18) and corrupt leaders selected by the Roman Empire. You usually read of “division” on whether Jesus is from God or not, among the people at the temple whenever Jesus was talking. You seldom read about Jesus scolding the Jews in this manner when He was preaching at the countryside and small towns because they are mainly all Jews. The whole country accepted Jesus when they celebrated His Triumphant entry into Jerusalem on a Donkey.

1^st John 2:15	Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1^st John 2:16	For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1^st John 2:17	And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
1^st John 2:18	Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1^st John 2:19	They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
1^st John 2:20	But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

John 8:42	Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
John 8:43	Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
John 8:44	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.

John 8:45	And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
John 8:46	Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
John 8:47	He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

1st John 4:4	Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
1st John 4:5	They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
1st John 4:6	We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

For example, what Jesus mentioned in John 15:18, He was talking to the Jews first and foremost. Later on after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, it also applied to those who followed Jesus and some God fearing gentiles who worshipped at the temple in Jerusalem. What nation or people that are hated the most in this world? Israel and the Jews!! because the world hated Jesus first ! It means that if you hate Israel, it implies directly that you also hate Jesus of Nazareth !!!

John 7:7
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

John 15:18

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

Does the world unanimously hate Christians or Catholics? Not so much as they are more irritated than hated because even Christians hate Christians !!! This is absolutely ridiculous.

Anyone who does evil hates the Truth and hates the Law because Jesus declares the Truth and gives us the Law.
The Law convicts the evil doer and sentences the evil doer to hell.
The evil doer hates Israel because Israel is the Servant of LORD who PROCLAIMS of the Law of the LORD.
The Law reveals the SINNER, for all sinners be it Jews or Gentiles are convicted by the law . But if we keep the word of God which is the Law of God with obedience and love, we are sanctified and perfected in God through FAITH that we sin no more. (Jeremiah 31:34)

Romans 3:20
"Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin."
Romans 3:31
"Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law."

1 John 2:5
"But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him."

Hebrews 10:14
"For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified."

(Hebrews 10:26 to 30) For those who sin WILFULLY after receiving the Faith and Knowledge of Jesus Christ, no amount of sacrifice for sins be it 1000 bulls or rams or endless $$$$$ monetary donations to the Temple or Church can save you. You would have to try to beg for mercy at the feet of Jesus Christ depending on what kind of sin that you have committed. It all depends on the Judgement of the LORD.

Hebrews 10:26
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Hebrews 10:27
But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Hebrews 10:28
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

Hebrews 10:29
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

Hebrews 10:30
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

Matthew 8:4

And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

In Matthew 8:4, Jesus advised the person that He had healed to go to the temple to offer a gift after he had been cleansed according to the Law of Moses.

So, we know that Jesus did not do away with the Law of Moses, so which covenant did He come to renew?

In modern days, for example in a lawyer’s office, if an agreement expires, they would set forth to renew the same agreement or write another new agreement to replace the old one. But what if there are 100 different agreements on a table (trade agreements, tenancy agreements, shareholders agreements, business contracts, and etc) and the office manager says, “Cancel that agreement and write a new agreement”. Would you know which one to cancel? Of course not. Would you sweep all 100 agreements down the rubbish bin? Of course not, unless you want to get fired.

What you normally do is ask for the specific details of which agreement that was referred to. It can be a date, a number, a title or who are the people who signed the agreement, in order to single out that particular agreement for renewal. (Jeremiah 31:31-33)

Today, agreements are signed and sealed in ink, but in days of old, whenever the LORD makes a covenant with His people, he sealed it in blood. That is why there was always an animal sacrifice immediately following a covenant made. For example, the LORD taught Noah, Abraham and Moses how to prepare for an animal sacrifice to seal their agreement. So, when Jesus came to renew one of His own covenants, He sealed it with His own blood.

Numbers 23:19-20 basically means that the LORD holds true to what HE says or do and HE does not break promises. This does not mean that GOD cannot take the FORM of a man as in Jesus of Nazareth.

“God is not a man, that he should lie” is talking about His “divine nature that He does not tell lies” like a FALLEN MAN does, even the “son of man” that he should repent. Even Kings, Priests and Prophets or “son of man” are subject to repentance but not GOD.

GOD is basically A MAN OF HIS WORD, HE does not break HIS promises – “……….hath he said, and shall he not do it?........”.

Today’s men and women – are you a “man” of “your word”? The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Temptation comes to the weakened flesh that lacks spiritual awakening but if the Spirit is strong with much watchfulness and prayer, the flesh is strengthened that we fall not into temptation. Such was the life of Jesus of Nazareth that He never sinned although He was tempted because GOD is Spirit and the Holy Spirit of the LORD MOST HIGH is Almighty (Isaiah 7:15) and that is why we also shall overcome the world and the weaknesses of our flesh because the Lord said, "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." (1st John 4:4)

Numbers 23:19	God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Numbers 23:20	Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

Matthew 26:41

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

John 4:24

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Isaiah 7:15

Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

Why must there be a Third Temple?

Jesus meant for a literal Temple to be rebuilt again and corrections must be made with all the Churches for His name shall be ONE. (Zechariah 14:9) The Gentile Church must be grafted back into the true vine Israel.

Zechariah 14:9

And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Matthew 23:8	But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Matthew 23:9	And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Matthew 23:10	Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

Times and seasons, ordinances and commandments and statutes given in the Bible for running a Temple must be adhered to. Keep the Sabbath, reconstitute year of jubilee and sharing the Solemn Feasts and Temple Celebrations with the whole world.

Hebrews 7:27

Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

Why should we reinstate animal sacrifice? The same reason as Noah or Abraham even though they were chosen and saved through faith in the Lord Most High.

The animal sacrifice is not so much as for the remission of “individual sins” (Hebrews 7:27) because the LORD have forgiven us on “individual basis” (Jeremiah 31:34, “…………..saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”) but for the sins of this fallen world that still exists. There are many types of animal sacrifices, of thanksgiving and etc. You can choose to tithe grain and other items for the Lord at the Temple if you do not want to sacrifice an animal.

We are basically still living in a fallen world (Revelation 22:15) where there are evil doers but we do not just kill them off without reason because we are not murderers; because if we kill, we may uproot the wheat as well at the same time, so we have to wait for natural death to come upon them when angels of death will harvest their souls to where they belong and until the end of another thousand years when the world fully reverts back to the pureness of origins of the Garden of Eden before the fall, when Adam and Eve were first vegetarians, then there would not be any need for animal sacrifice. In the meantime, lets barbeque!!!

Revelation 22:15

For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

At the end of the seven thousand years on earth, mankind will not need to sacrifice animals anymore and they will be vegetarians again.

Psalms 19:8

The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

Hebrews 7:11

If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

The LORD desires elevate and purify the nature and office of the Levitical priesthood not only to serve the LORD because by LAW He must but to serve the LORD because he delights in doing so.

The Law is made to serve men, and not men merely serving the Law – “…………...after the order to Melchizedek……………..”.

The LORD Most High will guide the Levitical priests in discernment and judgment in what is holy and what is profane.
(Ezekiel 44:24) They shall judge according to the controversial standards of the New Covenant of the LORD Most High (Jesus of Nazareth).

Hebrews 5:14

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.

Ezekiel 44:23	And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
Ezekiel 44:24	And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.

Malachi 3:3

And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

Malachi 3:4

Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.

	Malachi 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
	Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
	Malachi 3:7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
	Malachi 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
	Malachi 3:9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
	Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Malachi 4:4

Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

False teachers/prophets, antichrists and the scorner

It is very annoying and disturbing to hear so many Preachers who love to dabble in Biblical Prophecy / eschatology but going about it erroneously and many even dare to say that it is only based on speculation!!! Are we playing the stock market here??? The layman depends on their pastor or evangelist to keep them informed. But when you begin to teach based on speculation instead of what you actually know to be true, you are treading on dangerous grounds and may result having your candlestick being taken away. I am referring to the preachers of mainstream Christianity. Do not say that I did not warn you in advance.

Luke 11:33

"No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light."

Revelation 2:5

"Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent."

Matthew 7:21

"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."

Matthew 7:22

"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?"

Matthew 7:23

"And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

The above few verses are among the scariest Bible verses that I have encountered, other than the story from 1st Kings Chapter 13, where the "man of God" was killed by a lion for disobeying God's instructions.

And yet, it will be so for many people or religious people that they will one day would have to come to terms with reality when their presumed favour with God is revealed in public before the Judgment Seat of Jesus Christ to be nothing less than falsehood or corrupt works of the flesh.

Even as King Nebuchadnezzar's Kingdom was taken away from Him in an instant. No person on earth is safe in dwelling with continued defiance against what is godliness and secretly subscribing to corruption and debauchery while having a outward appearance of a religious person; from the person at the highest post of President or King of any given country to the person of the lowest estate with nothing at stake.

For example, the Lord may call upon the Leaders of each country to do what is right, to uphold justice and to love mercy, but if any Leader that refuse to reform and give up old fallacies may be promptly removed from their position.

Matthew 20:16

"So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen."

Let us continually learn of the Lord and do not be dismayed when being reprimanded or corrected for it will make us wiser and more open-hearted.

Do not be like the scorner who hates reprove and prefer to continually choose contempt and evil deeds; for his end will be destruction and full measure of the law.

Proverbs 9:6

"Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding."

Proverbs 9:7

"He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot."

[ World English Bible

9:7 He who corrects a mocker invites insult. He who reproves a wicked man invites abuse. ]

Proverbs 9:8

"Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee."

Proverbs 9:9

"Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning."

Proverbs 9:10

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."

******************************************

Song of Solomon 8:7

"Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned."

Sad to say that there are many Churches today that is still very much money based or money minded. Unconditional love is something that money cannot buy. Unfortunately today, there are still many husbands and wives that deal with each other in terms of dollars and cents.

Somebody once asked me to speak to the young people at a Church in Singapore because the older generation sees that today’s youth as having loose morals.

I have not attended Church service for years because of monetary problems. So I was straight forward and quite bluntly said that I have no money for transport to Church on Sundays, perhaps somebody at the Church can arrange for a van to send me to Church? I gather that it must be the word “no money” that tends to make people tremble and disappear for I never saw that person again.

Am I that despicable because I am poor? Is it true then, when my boss told me that it is my penalty for being poor? Do I deserve nothing but despise and contempt; when people hear that I have no money, they refuse to speak to me face to face when I seek for advise or some help.

Isaiah 53:3

"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not."

Do I only deserve to be chopped up into tiny pieces and fed to the loan sharks? Even the bank has become a legal loan shark - AM Bank/Arab Malaysian Finance, used to charge around 60% interest on my housing loan.

i.e. I pay RM1000 every month on my housing loan where about RM600 was the bank interest and RM400 goes to set off on my housing loan principal amount. What happened for the past two years until today, the bank interest has become RM990 and only RM10 goes to set off on my housing loan amount !!!

How can this be possible? RM150,000 divide by RM10 per month = 1,250 years to finish repaying my housing loan !!!

I took a 35 years loan, I don’t remember signing for a one thousand two hundred and fifty years loan.

Do I have to thank AM Bank for not throwing me out of my house?

***************************************

When I was in school, I always wanted to be an evangelist or a preacher, but I guess the Lord knew me all too well, and He is right; today, I do not think that I have the nerve to handle a crowd of 5000 like Jesus of Nazareth did 2000 years ago. I have become sort of a cave hiding hermit and I thank God for creating the internet. His tailor made yoke for me is really light and easy actually, as I just have to write before the presence of the Lord and sent it out through the internet. I don’t have to grow a hard forehead of flint to withstand people’s abuses and hard words. I don’t have to see their antics and demonic faces.

Blessed be the Lord Most High for His bountiful mercy upon us.

I bless the day when I will have finally finished all my letters to Israel sometime next year. Yahoo!!! I can finally disappear again for good this time. Thank you Malaysia for setting the embargo and not allowing me to visit Israel because I guess the coast is not clear yet and there may be still danger lurking. Anyway, I am only allowed to pay a short visit to Israel after Jesus of Nazareth returns to govern the world through Israel. I hope Jesus can beam me there like He did the Apostle Philip who apparently can appear and disappear whenever he wishes.

Many pastors and evangelists today sound more like used car salesman or cattle auctioneer than sober men of God. There are those that even jump around like circus performers and there are even those that are somewhat violent charismatic healers that push and punch while attempting to heal their congregation???

Matthew 7:22-23

I do not wish to deal directly with the very long list of cults and deviant denominations where there are so many groups with their leaders on various claims to be Jesus Christ or someone or something UFO & etc – just a few examples,

 In Korea - Sun Myung Moon (Unification Church - Moonies);

 Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda, a Puerto Rican preacher;

 Apollo Carreon Quiboloy, Philippines - Restorationist Christian church - Kingdom of Jesus Christ, The Name Above Every Name, Inc.;

 Muhammad – Islam.

 Joseph Smith Jr. - Mormons – The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints;

Both Joseph Smith Jr and Prophet Muhammad are quite uniquely similar in claims to have been given a new book other than the Bible - Torah (5 books of Moses) and letters from Jewish Prophets; both have met angels of light claiming to be sent from God in that they are quite different from other cults that mostly got their revelation through spirits speaking to them as in the “speaking in-tongues Pentecostal type”.

With regards to messages from the Angel Gabriel, if you compare the messages in the Bible and the Quran differs; as an Angel of The Lord, Gabriel is not allow to issue contradicting and conflicting messages. For example, in the Bible, Gabriel declares that Jesus shall be called the Son of God, but in the Quran, Jesus is not the Son of God.

If one were to listen to their life stories, both Joseph Smith Jr and Muhammad no doubt are sincere persons seeking the truth about God; I do not doubt their personal sincerity and earnestness but in the end, it is about whether their message was from The Lord God of Israel who created the Heavens and the Earth.

The Lord Most High chose Israel with specific purposes and that includes ONLY through Israel, the Law of the Lord flows out and through Israel the world is saved. Jesus Himself said that Salvation is of the Jews. Although there are minor false teachers in Israel which can be weeded out, the MAIN purpose is that Israel was and is chosen and SET APART to serve the Lord and to be a light to the Gentiles so that people from OTHER nations and tongues (Gentiles) who sought to bring in new laws and books from their own source can be clearly and immediately verified as FALSE and not sent by the Lord Most High.

The Lord did NOT make a covenant of service with Ishmael or the Americans or any other nation for that matter.

2 Timothy 3:5

"Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."

Jeremiah 14:14

"Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart."

Lamentations 2:14

"Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment."

Matthew 7:15

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."

Matthew 24:11

"And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many."

Matthew 24:24

"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."

2 Peter 2:1

"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction."

1st John 2:19

"They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us."

1st John 2:18

"Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time."

Will the Jewish teachers please cane those Evangelical & Eschatological preachers’ backside for preaching the defiling of the Third Temple of Ezekiel by the Antichrist. [Antichrist also known as False Christs, False prophets - Matthew 24:24, 1st John 2:19]. Where is the logic especially when the events of the rebuilding were being foretold in the Bible.

It’s like a person who is going to build a nice big house for himself and his family and before it is even built, all his friends and relatives keep telling him that his house is going to be desecrated and it will be haunted and so terribly defiled that it must be demolished not long after it is being built. It is very clear that they are trying to prevent or discourage the man from having a new house.

Jesus never said that He will come personally to oversee the construction of the Third Temple HIMSELF, it is the job assigned to the office of “Zerubbabel” through the guidance of the Holy Spirit of the LORD. The LORD MOST HIGH will only return upon the completion of His Temple.

Malachi 3:1 “….… and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, ……..”

Psalms 90:4
"For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night."

2 Peter 3:8
"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."

Hosea 6:1
"Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up."

Hosea 6:2
"After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight."

John 2:19

"Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

John 2:21

"But he spake of the temple of his body."

1 John 4:1

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."

The Biblical ANTICHRIST is in the BODY of CHRIST (Hosea 6:2) where the Spirit dwells; and who represents the Body of Christ? The Christian and Jewish Church represent the Body of Christ.

There is no need to suggest any of those religions and peoples outside of the Jewish and Christian Church because they are not part of the Body of Christ in the first place.

Many people like to speculate someone in the Islamic religion as the Antichrist. Ask yourself this, have you ever considered Muslims as part of the Body of Christ? Your answer would be a clear NO.

So what will happen to those religions and peoples outside of Christianity and Judaism? The answer would be that the LORD will liberate and reform them through the Teachers of Israel also known as the Servant of the Lord and especially after the Temple is being rebuilt and the LORD Most High will return and teach us all PERSONNALLY.

We will explore more on the descriptions of the Antichrists in another letter.

Until then, keep in mind 2 things: -
1) That the antichrists are not all powerful or omnipotent; their time is limited.
2) All the events in the Bible and book of Revelation do not apply to just one period but throughout the past 2000 years; some events that happen will not occur again but there are certain events that will be brought about again in this generation.

************************

Know and understand that many punishments and rewards are for this life that you are living now ! (Daniel 12:10) and not only for the next life in Heaven.
Some people when they are chastised, they repent and receive their reward now and also shall escape second death and go to Heaven when they physically die.
Sadly there are many who refuse to give up evil deeds and their punishment is in this life as well as in the next.

In the ONE counterfeit BODY OF CHRIST, there are many types of abominations.
Just as in The One Body of Christ, there are many members. Each of us have our own tasks and purposes in life and position at work whether be manual work or spiritual work with the LORD Most High.
Romans 12:5
"So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another."

There are some abominations more grave than another.

For example, in Proverbs 6:14 "He that soweth discord" is an abomination to the LORD.
There are many newscasters, journalists and even Pastors and evangelists love to add oil onto fire, to fan the fire of doubts and hatred and most stupidly create alarming scenarios based on false reports or messages and fictional novel/books given by false teachers and false prophets. BLIND LEADING THE BLIND.

For example:-

1) Especially in the USA there are people who love to keep on bad mouthing their current President.
2) Newscasters and false prophets love to do research on the facade of world events and give speculative imaginary report on anything and especially about IRAN's President and also on the imaginary 12th Imam as the Antichrist. Have they actually SEEN the 12th Imam Mahdi? They would tell you that they have heard so and so speak about it but no one has actually seen the person. They can point fingers at so many candidates based on speculation. Here we go again, "SPECULATION".
What has the world of journalism come to? Has anyone EVER taught you that you cannot use Fiction by treating it as Fact. Do you think that the more times you mention about "the fiction" that it will "turn real" after reporting on it for ten thousand times?

3) ....and there is the infamous world wide speculation on who is the Antichrist!!!  From Church leaders to fiction book writers, for centuries, many have been trying to guess who is he that son of perdition, that little horn, ..... etc....
The Bible is very direct at times. All his characteristics are mentioned and Our Body was mentioned as the Temple of God. Just open your eyes and see what is right in front of you. But many of you having eyes but cannot see the truth. What a terrible tragedy.

4)   Worse speculation of all is the second coming of Jesus of Nazareth. False teachers and false prophets have given date after date that did NOT COME TRUE and yet there are still so many that blindly follow these blind leaders.

One simple sentence has already been said; "Matthew 24:42 - "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come."
Malachi 3:1 “….… and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, ……..”

If you were specifically told that you will NOT know what hour your LORD will come, why do you still pretend that you know the hour?   False prophets and false teachers do not follow instructions from the BIBLE and by this we know that they are false.
The separation of the goats and the sheep has clearly begun.

Even the abominations of the Roman Catholic Eucharist can be stopped and forgiven if the Pope and his Church Leaders are willing to repent, reform and withdraw from their idolatrous practises.

But there is this abomination that is worse than the Roman Catholic IDOLATRIES that cannot be forgiven as in Matthew 12:32 because many of its adherents will REFUSE TO REPENT and to GIVE IT UP because of their addiction to its power although a small number of the people chosen by the LORD will be saved from its delusions;
it comes to Body of Christ peacefully and with very much power that even the very elect are enthralled and mystified

- and as a counterfeit God calling ITSELF the "third person of the holy trinity" living / sitting in the "sanctuary" or "temple" of the Body of Christ - the believer's body/the human body,

- the "counterfeit trinity" gives audible instructions on many issues especially on Biblical prophecy,
(audible voice beside or inside your ear or in the throat or at certain parts of your brain - "the little horn")

- also attempt to control the believer's thoughts and actions by making them believe it is their own decision (this part is done without audible voices but by mind control).

- makes you believe that they are saying good things when they utter in unknown angelic utterances or "understanding dark sentences" Daniel 8:23,  they are actually cursing GOD and speaking against the HOLY SPIRIT.

When one Angel speak to another Angel in angelic language, WHAT IS IT TO YOU?
Angel of the LORD of HOSTS are not allowed to meddle in human affairs without authorisation. It does not benefit any human being to be able to speak in angelic language. You already have so many different languages in this world for you to learn, why to you insist on wanting other unknown tongues? When you ask for something which GOD has no intention on giving you, the meddlers aka evil spirits of fallen angels comes to you to let you speak in fallen angel's tongues. Congratulations !!! this is one jackpot which NO sane person would want to hit.
Ten times, it may tell or give to you the correct interpretation but mixed with 1 or 2 false interpretation is all it takes to destroy you.

Concise Oxford Dictionary
"perdition"
(in Christian theology) a state of eternal damnation into which a sinful and unpenitent person passes after death.
2nd Thessalonians 2:3
"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;"

2nd Thessalonians 2:4
"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"

I have already somewhat explained this in my first letter "Thy Will be done in earth as it is in Heaven".

1 John 4:1
"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."

To any non-speaking in tongues persons:-
Jewish Rabbi, godly Pastors/teachers and men of God and the non-speaking in tongues exorcist - if you are brave, test their spirits and see for yourself if I am speaking the truth.
But let me warn you in advance for those that are brave enough to venture out to fight against these spirits speaking persons, it is going to be very messy if you do not stand firmly in your faith, you may be swayed at some point by their enchanting spirits.

2nd Thessalonians 2:15
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Go to a "speaking in tongues" Pastor and advice him nicely to consider renouncing his "gift of tongues" and try to pray over him to remove the counterfeit holy spirit aka unclean spirit.

First thing he will do is defend his stance with a long list of Bible verses. He will go at any lengths to defend "his gifts" first and foremost.
That is why anyone who attempts to approach a speaking in tongues Pastor or layperson, must pray fervantly to the LORD Most High for help and guidance and do thorough research before approaching them.

Debating him will probably result in 1000 times "I am right" and "no you are wrong" being bantered to and fro.

One of their famous defence is some are real and some are not. They said what my sister experienced was from the devil but the Pastor has the true holy spirit. It was the Pastor who laid his hands on my sister to invoke the holy spirit and the spirit went into her through his hands and the hands of many church "elders".  How do you explain that? Let me tell you now that today - ALL are false.

Another of their defence is, how can we heal the sick and prophesy correctly if it is from the devil? Well, fortune tellers too can prophesy correctly and many non-christian medicine man can heal the sick too.  Was it not said in the Bible that fallen angels disguise themselves as Angels of Light?  There are many people that actually are healed and some prophecies come true but which spirit did you get your powers from?

They said God used them to prophesy in foreign nations language so as to inspire the non-believer. As a result large groups of non-believers became Christians because of these wonders and signs as a church planting technique.   Well, you have found unsuspecting people to follow your system of belief ("his policy"). By such unsuspecting peace the "false holy trinity" shall and has destroyed many.   One of the Pentecostal / New Age Charismatic church policy is agressive growth in membership and conversion of unbelievers or believers into their system of craft, laying of hands to induct the spirit into the new believer. Are not all these done in the guise of PEACE ??    What can be more peaceful than joining a church? It's like buying a ticket to heaven to these people.
Matthew 7:23
"And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
Daniel 8:25
"And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand ............. and by peace shall destroy many............."

If the "speaking in tongues" Pastor is met with STRONG RESISTANCE from another Biblically and Spiritually correct Pastor, if he is cornered with no way out, he will at some point in time reveal a very dark and "fierce countenance". However, on normal days, his facial and overall disposition can be as good as an angel in heaven.
That is why most probably in the end when they stand before Jesus, Jesus will never debate with them, He will only say to them, "I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME, YE THAT WORK INIQUITY"

2nd Thessalonians 2:7
"For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way."

2nd Thessalonians 2:8
"And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:"

2nd Thessalonians 2:9
"Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,"

2nd Thessalonians 2:10
"And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved."

2nd Thessalonians 2:11
"And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:"

The gift of tongues CAN be removed instantly if the faith of the exorcist is strong but once the exorcist leaves, the spirit will linger around the "speaking in tongues" Pastor to see if he will accept the spirit back and if he does, his end
may be 7 times worse or several times more powerful than before the exorcism.

That is why it is probably better for the speaking-in-tongues person to go through thorough and solid Biblical and Spiritually correct counseling and fully understands the truth and understand that he needs to RESIST the evil spirit from going back in after it comes out - before any actual attempt to exorcise the person takes place.

There are hundreds of millions of speaking in tongues church goers today.  For the last 100 years since speaking in tongues started, those church pastors and elders that do not believe in their system MOSTLY stayed away from them.

Today, I hope that there could be more true Christians who can give counseling to those speaking in-tongues laypersons or even Pastors themselves who are willing to listen and change their lives and come out of this Babylon Antichrist abomination so as to avert total destruction in your lives now and even unto the next life.
But Church people who are matured enough to counsel and take on the strong-stubborn-possessed-people in the Pentecostal world are few.  The Church today has just waken up and are still considered very young and still growing in Christ. Pray for the Lord of the Harvest to increase His workers.

When the Third Temple in Jerusalem (according to the book of Ezekiel) is built and operational and the Israelite Sanhedrin are formally installed. All false religions is this will slowly melt away.  Anyone who believes in Christ can go to Israel to seek formal help and guidance.

Daniel 8:23
"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"
- "latter time " means that only the last 100 or slightly more when the speaking in tongues movement first started.
- "a king" - as they know Jesus is King and Trinitarians say that The Holy Spirit is one with GOD and is the spirit of Jesus. And since the Holy Spirit is God, he is known to sit in our body as His Holy Temple Sanctuary declaring Himself as God. The counterfeit spirit living in a speaking in tongues person's body is a counterfeit God and hence and anti-god, an ANTICHRIST.

Daniel 8:24

"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."

- a full practising speaking in tongues person have a wide range of powers from healing, foresight, to prophecy and physical strength BUT "not by his own power" - as he is fully dependant on the FALSE TRINITY "Spirit, "JESUS" and "Father" living in him, when he is exorcised, he will be just a normal person with no powers for the false spirit is like a leech, once taken away it is not part of us.

*********************

BUT A TRUE CHOSEN MAN OF GOD, the Holy Spirit of the LORD comforts our soul and spirit, strengthens and empowers us - our mind, spirit and bodies;
and permanently establish our position on earth as "sons of GOD" as HIS truth is in us which cannot be taken away.

1 John 3:2
"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."

John 1:12
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:"

**********************

Daniel 8:25

"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."

Matthew 12:32

"And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come."

Proverbs 6:12

"A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth."

Proverbs 6:13

"He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;"

Proverbs 6:14

"Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord."

Proverbs 6:15

"Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy."

Proverbs 6:16

"These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:"

In the book of Daniel, there are two events that are being described, with regards to Daniel Chapter 9 and 12

1) Jesus of Nazareth came to “SET UP” the domino effect timeline and events to destroy the CORRUPT Temple of Herod during His three and a half years of ministry culminating in His Death and Resurrection. (Daniel 12:11)

(Although all the duties and procedures of the Priests at the Temple of Herod was not corrupt but it was the people that governed the temple installed by the Roman Empire that was mostly all spiritually corrupt; for example, King Herod is not an Israelite, he was only a convert to Judaism)

Isaiah 45:7
"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."

The LORD created the angels and man before they fell and became evil.

The Lord is Righteous and that is why He must put away the wicked and all that are evil.

2 Samuel 12:11

"Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbor, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun."

Many times in this world and in the Bible we read that the LORD created evil in order to CHASTISE His own children / His own people and also to bring down Kingdoms and Dominions (refer to the Book of Daniel for the list of Beastly Kingdoms).
The LORD create OR allow one evil Kingdom to rise up in order to destroy another evil Kingdom but all evil Kingdoms and evil men have their time limit as they will be broken without hand when the LORD takes away their power and dominion at the appointed time.

DESTROY (starting period) – After the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, subsequently the Temple of Herod destroyed by the Roman Empire.

“daily sacrifice taken away” - Daniel 12:11 – refers to the Temple of Herod’s daily sacrifices,

1st John 2:18 – “……..as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists;……….”;

Daniel 9:27 - “……………for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

John spoke of the many antichrists even from his time 2000 years ago until today, the overspreading of abominations of all the antichrists the Lord will make war against all HIS enemies to make them/it desolate and to bring them to an utter end.

Nahum 1:8-9, Proverbs 3:25.

and

2) Daniel 12:12 is the end of the destruction process and desolation of the wicked which lasted about 2000 years [ Luke 21:24 ] which also will be signified by a CLOSING period of 2 three and a half year periods (7 years) ministry by the Lord’s Two Witnesses (the offices of “Joshua” and “Zerubbabel” as in the book of Zechariah).
The 2nd three and a half years is completely dedicated to the building of the Temple itself according to the book of Ezekiel. Yes, with today’s modern technology, the whole Temple can be fully built and operational after three and a half years.

There is one event that you will NOT get to see, and that is the death of the Two Witnesses. If you believe that Jesus died for you; then there should be no problem for you to believe that HE also died on behalf of His Two Anointed Ones.

There are certain translations and old writings that showed Revelation 11:8-9 as in singular "body" instead of bodies.
We will discuss more on why Revelation 11 points to the events in Jesus's three and a half years ministry including His death and resurrection in another letter.

Revelation 11:8
"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."

RESTORE (closing/ending period) –

Daniel 9:24 – “………to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness,……..”

Daniel 9:25 - “……...that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks ………”
- Daniel 9:25 and 9.26 refers to two Messiahs/Two Anointed aka two witnesses - one of the anointed is given a title "the prince" refers to the one chosen to hold the office of “Zerubbabel” - aka Benjamin Netanyahu.
Jesus of Nazareth was also given the title "Prince of Peace" but when Jesus returns in the clouds of glory to rule the world, HE RETURNS AS KING and His people Israel is His prince.
One of the jobs of the LORD's two anointed ones is to identify and declare to the world the KING has return !!! Although many people in Jerusalem shall see for themselves as witnesses of His return to Jerusalem; because with so many people claiming to be Jesus, this will be done so that those people who are not in Jerusalem at the time of HIS return will get confirmation from HIS Two Anointed ones.

Daniel 9:26 - “And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined”
- first three and a half years of "Joshua's" ministry will end or cut off (well, not totally gone but since the "mantle of Elijah" will be passed on to Israel, there is not much need for "Joshua"/"Elijah" (office or post of Joshua and Elijah - multitasking.... ) to continue as Israel shall be as Elisha. The Elders of Israel need only to ask of the LORD to give them strength tenfold or a hundredfold that of Elijah, and it shall be given them) followed by another 3 and a half years of the rebuilding of Jerusalem and third Temple according to the book of Ezekiel.
- "city" refers to Jerusalem and "the sanctuary" refers to Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque (both have been referred to as the Noble Sanctuary)
- many parts of the old city Jerusalem are built in place since the Ottoman Empire, many roads, buildings, pipelines and drainage are too old and worn out. These need to be torn down, destroyed and rebuilt.
- when the knowledge of the Lord covers the earth as the waters covers the sea, the war against evil people shall end (with the individual person, we fight evil with good and remembering that we are to do everything in accordance to the will of the Lord).

Daniel 9:27 - “……..sacrifice and the oblation to cease……………” – refers to the idolatrous abomination of the Roman Catholic Eucharist’s Sacrifice and Oblation.

Example:-

“The Eucharist is a true sacrifice, not just a commemorative meal, as "Bible Christians" insist.”

Daniel 9:27

"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."

Nahum 1:8

"But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies."

Nahum 1:9

"What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time."

Freedom to follow The Lord Most High or Are we merely Slaves of Christ Jesus?

2011-05-31T17:53:00.005+08:00

* additional Bible verses added on 3rd June 2011

Jeremiah 2:14
"Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?"

The Book of Ezekiel chapter 16 spoke of the parable of Israel, a child born and thrown into an open field with the naval cord still uncut and all covered in blood. How the Lord took the Child in and covered Her nakedness and gave her all the finest garments and fairest jewels. Yet she was not contented and played the harlot and committed adultery with strangers and committed many other sins. But the ending as in verse :60 the Lord said "Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant."

All human beings are basically born free in the eyes of God; however, when we are born into a social system in the days of our parents, which determine the degree of our freedom or born into slavery. Some of us fight our way out slavery. Some are born into a dfferent type of slavery; slavery to the falsehood of money and position, which are able to tie a person down just as firmly as indentured servitude. Either way and in any society, a person in this world is a slave to what he covets.

A servant covets freedom a life without a master. If that servant were to be granted freedom, he would most probably end up being a slave to something else; because he still needs to find work. The servant has not left the Babylon system, as such he will never be free. That is why we need The Lord to set us free. To be spiritually free and the wisdom to choose our path in the light of the Lord.

A spoiled rich man covets more riches and power and position. He may eventually end up sacrificing his own freedom and the people he loves if he does not know how to draw the line.

The Kingdom of Babylon is most coveted by the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth, its people; the people who subscribe to the Kingdom of Babylon and think that they have built this Kingdom and it is theirs for the keeping; and these are the people who give honour and power to themselves and NONE to the Lord who created them.

Daniel 4:30
"The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?"

Daniel 4:31
"While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee."

To destroy the Kingdom of Babylon is merely to detach yourselves from the rudiments of this world. When you stop subscribing to the falsehood and material world of Babylon, it will cease to exist. Babylon feeds on the human soul to expand its power. Come out of Babylon and start to live and walk the path of righteousness of the Lord is all it takes to bring the Kingdom of Babylon down.

Acts 22:28
"And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born."

Psalms 82:6
"I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High."

Throughout the Bible, we see narratives and parables about slaves/servants and their masters.
Not all servants are slaves; most are just contract workers. While some are freed slaves who chose to stay on to help their masters because of love and loyalty.

Why do people shun at the word "obedience" to God?
To Willingly follow the will of the Lord and to accomplish His work.
Is it so hard to follow?
As if it is a monumental impossible task that will demand great self sacrifice.
If you truly love the Lord your God thy creator, then the task to follow Him is easy and the sacrifice is nothing compared to a living a life without the Lord Most High.

As Children of God, the Lord said that "we are gods" as in Psalms 82:6.
What caused our godliness to disappear? and Our favour in the sight of the Lord to diminish.
Dare we go to courts and palaces (where gold are worthless and are used as flooring) of the Lord and reclaim our favour and love of the Most High?
Have we become beasts of the field scratching out a meal or two for survival?
In this beastly world, people kill over a small gold nugget.

Since we are "gods" what we do most definately have its repercussions. Adam and Eve chose to be disobedient, its repercussion its DEATH. Whatever we choose to do will either bring us further or closer to GOD.
Sin of course drives a wedge between our own happiness and godliness.

When you cross the road, we generally look around and to the left and right for on coming traffic before we cross the road because it could mean life or death for you, if you step infront of an on coming bus. Such ordinary day to day small efforts that we do to ensure survival, what more of major decisions that people with money and power make?

It is good to find strength to overcome a bad situation. It is also good to be able to find contentment in our lives as there will always be something higher to achieve, something more beautiful to admire, something more expensive to buy.

Life is not about the endless chase. If you already have a beautiful wife, do you go after the next person that comes along whom you think is more beautiful? Where does it stop? How many lives will get hurt?

Some people think that they can destroy this earth and move along to find another planet that can sustain life. What if you cannot find any other planet like earth? And at the edge of the universe is exactly what it is, the edge where everything stops - like in the movie The Thirteenth Floor. What would you do? Where would you go?

1st Timothy 6:5-11
:5 "Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself."

:6 "But godliness with contentment is great gain."

:7 "For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out."

:8 "And having food and raiment let us be therewith content."

:9 "But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition."

:10 "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."

:11 "But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness."

Movie of the week - The Thirteenth Floor (1999)

This Book by Michael Card - "A Better Freedom" made me feel rather depressing. After reading this book I do not feel the "actual" & "better" freedom that we are suppose to experience. Instead I felt as if I was brought encircling the lives of slaves; I was at some point beginning to feel like a tired old vulture. It does however have very good point of refeerences and examples.

http://store.michaelcard.com/abetterfreedom.aspx

Detailed Description extracted from Michael Card's website:

When Michael Card first started attending an African American church, he was struck by how the congregation worshiped Jesus as "Master." He soon learned that during slavery, calling Jesus "Master" was a subtle way of saying that their earthly masters were not their true Master. This insight led Card on a journey of discovery, as he wondered, "What did it mean for African American slaves to acknowledge Jesus as Master? What did Paul, Peter, Jude and James mean when they acknowledged themselves as Christ's slaves? What would it mean for you and me to take upon ourselves the title 'slave of Christ'?" A Better Freedom explores the biblical imagery of slavery as a metaphor for Christian discipleship. Michael Card shows how the early church saw Greco-Roman slavery as a window into understanding Jesus both as the Savior who took on the form of a slave, but also the true Lord and Master who sets us free from our own slavery to sin. Come, let yourself be captured by the Master. And discover how you can be truly set free.

2 Peter 1:20
"Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation."

2 Peter 1:20 are For example, when the Bible mentions the "Son of Man" it does not only refer to Jesus Christ but it also refers to every true Prophet of God to Israel.
Jesus like every other Prophet of God from Moses to Ezekiel to Isaiah to John the Baptist, are CALLED as the Son of Man in terms of them giving up their own lives to minister after the Word of God and all Prophets of God gave their own life to follow the will and work of the Lord to the detail so that the message of the Lord gets across to His people and causing many people to be saved.

Matthew 20:28
"Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."

Another example of 2 Peter 1:20 are Isaiah 52:14 & 15.
Many people popularly associate it with Jesus's crucifixion and you are not wrong. But do you know that it is also associated with the Jewish Holocaust. Whose visage was so marred more than any man, than the skeletal form of a Jewish prisoner during World War 2.
Many nations and kings shut their mouths at him and many of them could hardly believe what they saw. Do you see it now?

Isaiah 52:14
"As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:"

Isaiah 52:15
"So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider."

There are many religious people of who think that they are saved and can do no wrong. They do not weep nor do they think that they need repentance.

They are like the brother of the prodigal son.

Well keep up the good work for all that the Father has is already yours but there are some questions that i need to ask that self righteous brother.

Why did you not attempt to talk some sense into your brother when he was a rebellious against his own father? Are you happy to get rid of your brother?

Why are you so full of discontentment (of not having enough to eat and enjoy with friends) while working for your Father?

As God's little children, we inherit not only all that belongs to Him but also we inherited His wisdom and power. Learn to use it wisely, with prudence and obedience towards the will of the Lord. The power of the gods is safely locked within us until our Father sees it fit to unleash them, otherwise we might do much harm not only to other people but mainly to ourselves as well. It is this power that the evil spirits desperately covet and hope to seek control over us the human being.

Like they say, with great power comes great responsibility.

Being a god is "who" we are and created by, mankind is "what" we are made of.

(For example, if anyone asks you, "What are you? If you are human, you would say, "I am a man" or woman or mankind.
If anyone ask you, "Who are you?
Some people would say their name.
Some would even mention their profession or work. But the kind of job that you do are not WHO you are.
Who are you?
You are your father's son or daughter.
You carry your father's surname do you not?
You carry your father's DNA and our original parents' DNA Adam and Eve's were called sons of God having the first holy spirit of life given by GOD.
You carry or inherited your creator's Heavenly Father's Holy Spirit - His breath of LIFE - that gave you your soul and spirit - your life.)

Luke 15:7
"I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance."

THE PARABLE OF THE PRODIGAL SON
LUKE chapter 15:15-20
:15 "And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine."
:16 "And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him."
:17 "And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!"
:18 "I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,"
:19 "And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants."
:20 "And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him."
:31 "And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine."
:32 "It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found."

To the self righteous brother, do not be afraid or think negatively about obedience towards the Lord Most High. Obedience towards God does not mean that we loose our freedom of choice, but rather think of it as learning to avoid pitfalls and death traps that the Lord did foresee and that there are still many things we do not know and have yet to learn. Until we are fully grown up - not only in terms of our earthly years but also in God years, let us just for now follow what Daddy says, shall we?

Does Silver and Gold make you Happy?

2011-01-28T17:49:00.001+08:00

Proverbs 3:13
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

Proverbs 3:14
For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

Proverbs 16:20
He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.

3 John 1:4
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

Can Money Buy Happiness?

Does Silver and Gold make you happy?

Sure, why not?

The smell and touch of crisp newly printed money and Glittering stuff are always fun and so do toys, pets, chocolate and cut flowers can make any person feel happy.

Why do you think they sell these things during Valentine's day??

Money can buy us material things that makes us happy but "happiness" is not a tangible thing.

It is a stirring up of emotions that may not necessarily be everlasting.

Maybe that is why people constantly find ways to pursue happiness.
In the Declaration of Independence of USA - Thomas Jefferson - "our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

But what is "Happiness" ??? This is the main question.

For we know what "money" is. It is a means to exchange for goods.

Is happiness a commodity to you?

****************************************
In Ipoh, Perak, West Malaysia, and several other places, "money" used to be called "Kupang" in Malay language or literal "Clam shell".

Today, people in Perak still refer to ten cents as "satu kupang".

Thousands of years ago, if you have millions of clam, you are probably a millionaire in those days.

The Northern states especially Perak, where fishing were the main livelihood in those days and so is bartering.

One goat in exchange for 5 thousand clams, anyone???

***********************************************************

The definition of happiness or our "Happiness Index" changes as we age.

What made us feel happy when we were 3 years old may not necessarily do so again when we are 33 years old, or maybe and most likely it still can make us happy, depending on what it was.

Find out what makes people happy and then try to see if there is a price tag on it.

It may cost somebody to buy what makes you happy and it may cost you nothing to receive it.

We may receive something happily for free but the cost of giving you that something may have fallen on somebody else who bought for you that bit of happiness and paradise.

In this world, nothing is ever "really" and "totally" free is it?

A wedding ring most probably require money to buy but can you really put a price tag on something that brings joy and eternal happiness? (or at least until you get divorced that is.... ???)

*****************************************************************
Have you ever seen someone pretentious, trying to look like a million dollars but you can tell he has nothing?

Have you ever seen someone who looked like a poor roadside cleaner even though he is wearing designer clothes and has millions of dollars in his bank account?

I guess sometimes, money cannot buy us substance and style; neither can it bring about confidence and trust.

In Isaiah 64:6 mentioned that "in all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags".

Without our Heavenly Father's light of life support and true riches, our own works no matter how good are as filty rags.

Without light shining on a piece of cut diamond, it is useless and has no beauty in darkness.

Psalms 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalms 36:9
For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

Proverbs 6:23
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

Proverbs 16:15
In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.

John 1:4
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

John 8:12
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

2 Timothy 1:10
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and
hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Isaiah 64:6
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Isaiah 64:7
And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.

Isaiah 64:8
But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

Isaiah 64:9
Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.

No Milk Today?

Is it safe for a poor man to live in a money based world?

Does ALL these mean that No Money No "Live"?

It is as if in this world, if a person does not have money, he will not be allowed to "Live" because he will die of hunger.

It is not that a person has no "Life" if he does not have money because a person's "life" aka "spirit" is not bound to material monetary means.

But how a person lives is somewhat directly related to the system of commerce of his day / era and depending on his ability to exchange goods and the good graces of the people around him.

My mother's fifth uncle once downtroddenly said, "Life, I have, but money I do not have" - sometime later, he was murdered.

Is our world a money based world governed by “Mammon and Lucifer” or a Love and Compassion based world governed by the God of Israel (Jesus Christ)?

Jude 1:22
"And of some have compassion, making a difference:"

Matthew 6:26
"Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?”

Is it not better to be an animal than a man living in a money based kingdom?

The animals live in this same planet but the animals do not live in our “money based kingdom”; but ever so often, our kingdoms do collide, bringing devastating destruction to the animal kingdom.

Mankind created their own web and trappings in this world and therefore are somewhat forced to live bound and chained to the complications of the money web and its trappings.

The Lord has placed upon His Servants the Jews to repair the world.

Are you up to the task to do the Lord’s bidding to go forth and repair the world?

If we do not change our former ways, there would be nothing left to repair.

Tikkun Olam !!! my friends. (“Tikkun Olam” in short means Repairing the World)

Matthew 6:32
“(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.”

Matthew 6:33
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

Matthew 6:34
“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”

And to the poor man who has no roof over his head today, do not think of tomorrow…….. for tomorrow will probably be the same…….. still sleeping on the park bench under the starry skies on an empty stomach …………..

It is already too much EVIL for us to handle in one day, why pile onto ourselves tomorrow’s evil as well?

Live one day at a time, for who knows what tomorrow will bring???

Birth of The Saviour, Christ our Lord God of Israel

2010-12-20T20:31:00.000+08:00

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour.

Luke 2:10
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

Luke 2:11
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Isaiah 45:15
Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.

Isaiah 45:16
They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.

Isaiah 45:17
But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.

Isaiah 45:18
For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

Isaiah 45:20
Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.

Isaiah 45:21
Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.

Our Saviour has spoken TRUTH and righteousness openly to his Disciples and the peoples of the world and He has NOT spoken anything in secret.

Isaiah 45:19
I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

John 18:19
The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.

John 18:20
Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.

John 18:21
Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.

(Romans 14:7, 8)
Whether we live or die, in life or death, in living or dying, in belief or disbelief, in acceptance or denial, we still belong to the Lord our CREATOR, even when the whole world forsakes us. We are never truly totally alone in this world or in the next. For all of mankind belongs to the Lord (even the good and the evil) for He is the Lord of the living and the dead.

Romans 14:13
“Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.”

Therefore let us not judge each other with an evil eye or self reasoning or contempt for whatever reason. But instead, be ever more on our guard not to put a stumbling block / obstacle / some action or event that hinders progress of our fellow men.

What is able to hinder progress of our fellow mankind, brothers and sisters?
Depravation / morally corrupt – leading away from what is right.
Deprivation perhaps? – denial of some basic material essential benefits.
Repression, be it in society, ethnic differences, governmental repression of its subjects (forcing people to live in confined areas and refugee camps), religious repression (forced to convert by the sword) and gender repression.

These stumblingblocks that some people place before other people that continues to hinder another man’s progress or freedom to choose or freedom to live or believe.

When someone who claims to do what is right for his government when he kills a religious extremist or “terrorist”, he has provided the so called “terrorist” an occasion to fall. He has placed before his fellow man a stumblingblock. Did the “righteous man” look into the future and have seen that the terrorist is beyond redemption and that he can NEVER repent even though being placed in neutral conditions and after being taught the truth. For who can tell the “TIMING” of a person’s repentance?

It is better to put a sinner / unrepentant person in solitary confinement / life imprisonment than putting him to death. For the terrorist will give his account to God when it is time and he will be judged accordingly.

But the person who placed the stumblingblock in the terrorist’s path shall also give his account to God when it is time, for the Lord will ask the terrorist, who caused you to fall?

Blessed is he who does not put a stumblingblock in his brother’s way.

Isaiah 45:23 “………....That unto me [ “me” is referring to the God of Israel Himself and He was also called our Saviour Jesus son of Joseph and Mary ] every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.”

Romans 14:5
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

Romans 14:6
He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

Romans 14:7
For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

Romans 14:8
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

Romans 14:9
For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

Romans 14:10
But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

Romans 14:11
For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

Romans 14:12
So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Romans 14:13
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

Isaiah 45:22
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

Isaiah 45:23
I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

Isaiah 45:24
Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

Isaiah 45:25
In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

Among the many reasons why THE CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, OUR SPIRITUAL FATHER IN HEAVEN, THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTHY, chose to be born into His own creation is to save us, He is our SAVIOUR, to obtain right to judge over the living and the dead (Romans 14:9).
If God has never tasted death, the dead will not suffer or allow themselves to be judged over by someone who has never tasted death. This is how insufferable, proud and conceited mankind is.

What is Faith?

2010-11-08T19:09:00.000+08:00

"Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

- Hebrews 11:1

"That your faith should NOT stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God."

- 1 Corinthians 2:5

Faith as described in Hebrews 11:1 may sound like "fantasy" or "wishful thinking" to many people and it might as well be if we place our trust & faith in the wrong person. Such error might just bring your whole world come crashing down in trembling and fear.

We may have some degree of faith and trust in the people we know and perhaps a child or baby may have 100% faith on his parents to take care of him/her, but even these may fail when a parent abandons a child at the orphanage or some odd place.

Can a child muster enough faith in his lifetime to trust anyone again, after experiencing abandonment?

Does that child need somebody else to show him kindness and loyalty before he respond with the same OR is it inbuilt within a person that ability to love and trust regardless of the adverse surroundings or bad experiences.

Is it all about "EVIDENCE" again, that a person may need to know that trust and faith among mankind is possible based on what he sees first before responding?

What about trust and faith in a GOD that we nave NEVER SEEN? What kind of evidence do we need from GOD?

"If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?"

- 1 John 4:20

So, from 1st John 4:20, does our faith in God stem UNCONSCIOUSLY or subconsciously from our own ability to love and trust someone else?

In a way, it is true. as in John 3:6, we were all born from our original pair of ancestors "Adam and Eve" (of whom were Sons of God before their fall from grace) through the ORIGINAL / INITIAL life giving "Spirit of God" upon their CREATION.

Just like when we can trace the evidence of our biological parents through DNA (the flesh), we can trace our Creator through the Holy Spirit of GOD.

In normal circumstances, as a child is so naturally drawn to his parents for love & trust and vice versa; so are we naturally drawn to the LORD for love and trust because the Holy Spirit of God is not empty and hollow but is a part of us that is of substance and reality that can be known and to learn from in a quiet manner because the Spirit is our lifeline link to God, just as the DNA is our link to our biological family, so is the Holy Spirit our link to our Heavenly Father, our creator. (And I am NOT talking about the Pentecostal / Charismatic type of "holy spirit")

"That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."

- John 3:6

Who on earth would dare put their trust another person whom they have never seen or heard before - as it is neither proper nor safe in this day and age; but if we put our faith in the LORD Most High and when it is in accordance to the will of God, then fantasy sometimes becomes reality and wishful thinking can become miracles.

"And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us."

- 1st John 3:24

"Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God."

- 3 John 1:11

"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

- Hebrews 11:3

"By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith."

- Hebrews 11:7

How is your faith in the LORD?

Is it based on your constant relationship with the Lord through prayer and study; or is it based on your inbuilt subconscious capacity; or is it based on popular demand of the day - Monkey see, monkey do?

Can our faith in the LORD get swayed and we need to attach a spiritual Richter scale to measure our tremor and fear?

Sometimes..... probably...... but we constantly hope to build our faith upon the steady ROCK so that when the wind and the waves hit us or sudden earthquake...... we pray for the Lord's saving grace hoping to remain as steady as Daniel in the lion's den and that is to come out alive and in "one piece".
