The “Light-Bearer” is Rising

Standard

Spire Placed Atop One World Trade Center

  A 408-foot spire is set into place at the top of One World Trade Center seen from Jersey City, N.J., Friday.

One World Trade Center has reached its peak.

 

More than a decade after the tower was first planned, construction workers hoisted the final piece on the glassy skyscraper’s 408-foot mast into place Friday morning, reaching a symbolic 1,776 feet above the ground in Lower Manhattan.

 

The installation of the final vertical piece — a bright beacon that is designed to shine beams of light well into New Jersey and Long Island — is a notable milestone for what is perhaps the country’s most notable construction project. The $3.9 billion office tower is the signature building in the redeveloped World Trade Center, although its rise by the footprints of the initial World Trade Center towers has been a lengthy one.

 

Today, it appears from a distance to increasingly resemble a finished office tower. Glass nearly coats the entire building, and even some interior high-speed elevators zip workers up and down.

 

But full completion isn’t all that near. The 104-story tower’s builders, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, are expecting to complete their work in early 2014 [...]

Note: *The pieces of the spire were shipped down, in 9 sections, delivered via barge from Quebec.  Brings to mind some Biblical imagery.  Birth. Moses-the deliverer of the Jews, Noah’s family in the ark.  Also some occult images.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Satan’s given name is Lucifer, which means “light-bearer”.  Most Christians agree that the destruction of the original World Trade Center on 9/11 was a warning to America that we were headed for judgment.  Behghazi, too, happened on 9/11, like a faint echo.  Not nearly as many people died, but the outrage is equally intense, now that fewer people accept the “official narratives” without a substantial dose of skepticism.

There has been no real fanfare surrounding this “crowning” of the World Trade Center today.  It’s address is 6 World Trade Center.  Six is the number of man.  Of course the contention is that the 1776 height is symbolic of the founding of America, but there is always an esoteric meaning behind these things. Note the  MDCCLXXVI at the bottom of the pyramid.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Source for this narrative on 1776)*

1776 

MDC = 1600 MDCCLXXVI thus contains:

CLX = 160 3 — 1′s 3 — 6′s

XVI = 16 3 — 0′s or 10′s 3 — 7′s

And, of course, 3 x 7 = 21 a very magic number. The year, 1776, when added, totals 21 also, making 1776 a very powerful magical year. But, when you divide 21 by three, you get three groups of 7, i.e., 7 + 7 + 7.

 

MEANINGS OF NUMBERS DEFINED 

 

# 1 = Beginning 

 

# 6 = Man 

 

# 7 = God 

 

# 8 = The New Beginning 

 

# 10 or 0 = Testimony 

 

# 21 = Exceeding Sinfulness of Sin

 

 

 

THE OCCULT BELIEF IN POWER OF NUMBERS 

 

AND THE DERIVED MESSAGE OF GEMATRIA
 

 

As we have previously studied, occultists worship the power they believe is contained within numbers. They further believe extra power can be obtained by the practice of Gematria. The New Age Dictionary defines Gematria as “the art of interpreting the names and attributes of God by letter and number. A=1; B=2, etc.” In the instance below, certain powerful numbers are deliberately created to contain the New World Order message that the Illuminati wanted to secretly convey to Initiates in every age. Watch carefully as we decode the numbers of the date MDCCLXXVI and enlighten you as to the intended occult meaning. It is the core attribute of the New World Order.

The Gematria hidden within these numbers contain a very shocking message; yet, it is the core message of the entire New World Order Plan. The literal meaning of the message is presented below, followed by the more understandable translation.

 

Since we have triplicities of three (3) Beginnings, of Man, of God, of testimonies, followed by the magic number of 21 (3 x 7), here is the occult message: 

“The year, 1776, is the Beginning year in which man is placed

above God through exceeding sinfulness of sin.

 

This is the testimony of the Masters of the Illuminati.”
 

When you add the numbers above together, leaving out the zeros, you have 48 (6 x 8).

 

“Man (represented by # 6) is going to create his own new  

 

Beginning (represented by # 8).

One of the “cool” features of this building is the bright light on the top which can be viewed from a great distance away, and peaks above the clouds.

The Light-bearer, Lucifer, has convinced mankind to aspire, just as he does, to ascend into heaven,  to exalt his throne above the stars of God: to will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

What is this place called “the sides of the north”?

Psalm 48:1-2
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, In His holy mountain.

Beautiful in elevation, The joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion [on] the sides of the north, The city of the great King.

Lucifer, in his arrogance, and the world leaders in theirs, believe their time to “ascend” is almost here.  That is the symbolism behind this raising of the Freedom Tower spire.

There are a lot of things “coincidentally” converging, are there not?

New Agers are looking for their Mitriaya/paradigm shift, age of Aquarius, Muslims are looking for their Mahdi, Masons/Illuminati/Bildebergers are looking for their New World Order, and Israel has become the burdensome stone for all the world at the center of a coming World War that just so happens to coincide with predictions of economic collapse of proportions that will exceed that of the Great Depression.   I’m looking for my Messiah Jesus.  Who are you looking for?  Because there is someone else coming.  The Bible calls him many names, and says many will be fooled by him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is a portion of a post written by Jospeh Herrin called “Babylon Rising” on Parablesblog on 3/4/12

This spire also resembles a great horn, as of a unicorn. This is also by design. Horns throughout the Bible are used as symbols of power and authority.

Psalms 92:10
But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn…

It is significant that the spire resembles the horn of a unicorn. Of all land animals, the unicorn alone is known to have only a single horn. Satan is declaring that he will share his power with no one. He alone will be the master (Baal) of the world. As this building moves closer to completion, Satan is declaring that the hour is near at hand for his horn to be exalted above all mankind. As John testified in Revelation, “the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; they worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast.” Satan is the dragon.

Revelation 20:2
And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan…

The Scriptures testify that Satan will exalt himself in this last hour as the ruler of the world. All mankind will be brought under his dominion in political, financial, and religious realms. In this same passage we read that “There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies…” The spire, and the roof of One World Trade Center, will be brimming with television broadcast antennas. This is the mouth of the Beast, and the Beast is the pawn of Satan.

It is obvious that One World Trade Center has incorporated into its design the shape of a pyramid. Satan is testifying that the long awaited fulfillment of the design found on the Great Seal of America is at hand. His kingdom is rising. His rule over the earth through his chosen emissaries is at hand. Note the numerous pyramids evident in the design of the tower.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Bohemian Grove has its giant Owl (idol) that attendees dance around.  Owls see in the dark (see things we cannot see i.e. “esoteric”.  They are a symbol of “wisdom”, but they are a bird of prey.  The demon goddess Lilith was represented as an owl. Lilith features prominantly in the writings of Aleister Crowley, the famous satanist.  Lilith is also described as a winged serpent who murders infants.

The new Trade Center has it’s Oak Groves and the Freedom tower with it’s spire, are the idol at it’s center.

Whenever Ancient Israel fell away in their faithfulness to the Lord, God would put them under the rule of an evil king who re-instated idolatry.  Then a Godly king would tear down the groves and destroy the idols and restore temple rites and sacrifices and the priesthood.

Though Christian men initiated the “great experiment” known to the world as America, on the basis of religious freedom, with inalienable rights endowed by our Creator, there clearly has been a corresponding “occult” esoteric, hidden element all along.  What evil men and Satan mean for evil, God uses for good.  Real Christians practiced genuine Christianity and even non-believers respected them and their beliefs.  America sent out missionaries to take the gospel all over the globe.  But always Satan and his armies, both spiritual and fleshly, have worked on an opposing agenda.

We can look at something like this raising of the Freedom Tower Spire, and see the occult elements in the design, as well as in ceremonies that have taken place there.  How does the devil pull that off, you may wonder?

The Bible says, if you are not a child of God (born-again, washed in the blood) then you are a child of the devil.  Whether you “decided to be” or not, you just are.  You may believe that your intellect, your talent, even your success, is self-made.  But your inspiration is from Satan.  He will gladly prosper you to keep you out of Heaven.  Ask Beyonce about Sasha Fierce.  “Something else just comes over me and takes over”, Beyonce has said.   Many actors and actresses have made that statement.  So did the 13 year old boy who murdered (and tried to rape) his mother because she took away his video games.  Blame it on pharmaceuticals or the violence in those games, but I say it’s something else, which merely uses the pharmaceuticals, the video games, whatever works-to lead people and persuade people to do these horrific things.  Unregenerated (not born-again) man is depraved and evil, and capable of pretty horrific acts, but Satan and the demons take particular pleasure in throwing fuel on the fire and maximizing that evil within.

Obama has gone out of his way to praise and glorify two things God hates the most.  For a man to lie with another man, is an abomination, and for anyone to harm any of the “least of these” (children) it is better that a millstone is tied around his neck and he is drowned.  Homosexuality and Abortion.  When Obama invoked gods blessing on the abortion industry, it was not the God of Abraham he was praying to.  But you can rest assured the God of Abraham heard him.

America is not mentioned in Bible prophecy.  I believe there will be a fall.  But it probably won’t be like many think.  I believe something will rise up out of “the ashes”, a new Babylon, wherein the spirit of Rome is alive and well.  It won’t be America any longer, and it will likely be a conglomerate of all of the North American continent.  This sounds like something that would take a long time.  But because plans are already in place, I think it could happen very quickly.  There is also the speculation that all of that untapped oil in America would play a part.  Things keep accelerating.  We can do certain things infinitely faster today than 20 years ago.  Like send mail, now that its’ done electronically.  Knowledge and technology has, by some estimations, doubled in the past ten years, and is now doubling every 18 months.  Soon it will be every 2 months.  Wouldn’t take long for our world to radically change at that rate, would it?

I don’t know how much time is left.  I’m prepared to be amazed, though.  Either way, by the rapture, or by the changes, (and then the rapture).  Jesus has paid my fare on that ride already.  How about you?

Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase

Standard

In case you hadn’t noticed, I spend a good bit of time thinking about the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.  It is my favorite thing to think about.  Every bride anticipates her wedding day.  We have been focused for some time now on Israel, Syria, the Muslim Brotherhood, all that is happening in the Middle East and shifting alliances in that region, while also having our minds blown on just about a daily basis, at what is happening right here in the United States under Barack Obama.  As Christians we are free to live right up to the moment Jesus catches us away from here.  Though things look troubling and bleak, we are not subject to God’s wrath.  We can watch these things with great interest, fascination, but with peace.

Even though we continue to watch, and there are no other signs or events that must take place before we leave here, we also know that we might be in for a bit more of a wait.  Consider this: Other times in our world’s fairly recent history, people have thought surely we were nearing the end based on things happening, only for things to settle down and become relatively calm once again, be it war or economy.  However, each time that happens, we can know one thing for certain, “that day” can only be closer now, the longer it has been awaited.  It is logical to be watchful because that is what our Lord told us to do.  We know the indicators: increase in earthquakes in diverse places, wars, rumors of war, men being lovers of themselves, truce-breakers, haughty, high-minded, lacking self control, their love for one another having grown cold.  Men with men, working that which is unseemly, women abandoning their natural use for the man, and instead lusting after other women.

But what about the increase in knowledge and travel (running to and fro about the Earth)?

Some might argue that in the 2 hundred years we went from horse and buggy, to rail, to flight, high-speed rail, space travel, word processors to computers, cell phones, smart phones, GPS….etc, that we have already met that criteria.  Well, just like it may have looked at one time like Hitler was the antichrist because he was the nearest thing the world had at that time ever seen, I have to wonder with what is “in the works” if we have yet to actually meet that criteria God was speaking of in regards to running to and fro and knowledge increasing.

You have read articles at one time or another I’ve posted on here about “the Singularity“, and about the intent of men to become immortal by way of scientific advances, a.k.a. “Transhumanism”  ( H+  which is the ultimate step of man taking charge of his own evolution, brought about by mankind himself), the super-soldiers and all of that.  And I also posted about the 3D printer, which is able to reproduce a three-dimensional object just as easily as you would make a 2D copy of your drivers license on a “Xerox” machine.   (See HERE) 

But there is an area of scientific and technological research that goes well beyond the 3 Dimensional printer, and it’s called Molecular Manufacturing.  Just the term is evocative of the merging of biology with technology.  Just as the industrial revolution changed the world, this revolution will too, only exponentially more, and exponentially faster.

Molecular manufacturing (MM) refers to a process that builds complicated machines out of precisely designed molecules.

Once molecular manufacturing is developed, it will provide us with a thorough and inexpensive system for controlling the structure of matter. In a relatively short time period following the development of the first nanofactory, mankind will appear to have complete dominion over the physical universe.  (Source)

Molecular manufacturing is an emerging technology that is being developed to build large objects to atomic precision, quickly and cheaply, with virtually no defects. When it matures, it promises to be an energy efficient and environmentally benign way to make textiles and textile products. (Source)

For one example, this technology applied in the textile industry would allow for

Lightweight nanotube fibers stronger than steel
Fabrics able to sense temperature and control their breathability
Clothing able to sense injury and provided immediate delivery of  medication to a wounded soldier.

• A garment could programmably increase or decrease its own size as needed
• A fabric could change its own color and patterns on demand
• The breathability of a textile could be variable and self-regulating
• By integrating molecular robotic components into the material, a fabric could be made to be self-cleaning and self-repairing
• A fabric could be programmed to move on its own accord, creating effects such as a flag flapping even without a breeze
• Molecular fasteners could create new clothing design options for truly
seamless garments (Source)

Other applications:

• powerful desktop computers with a billion processors
• abundant energy with inexpensive, efficient solar energy systems
• cures for serious diseases using nanorobots smaller than cells
• new materials 100 times stronger than steel
• a clean environment with nanomachines to scavenge pollutants
• more molecular manufacturing systems (they could build copies of themselves) (Source)

Advances in this field are being made every day.  You have probably heard about the pill that can alert your doctor if you forgot to take it.  The mini-camera pill that gives the doctor a film of your colon without the embarrassment and discomfort of a colonoscopy.   Read about 5 recent advances in Molecular Nanotechnology HERE. And see some amazing photos, including a bionic exoskeleton that allows a quadraplegic to walk HERE

The Singularity represents the time at which these technological advances become so rapid that it exceeds the human’s ability to comprehend or predict them.  After all, if the nanofactory learns how to replicate itself, how soon will the second generation nanofactory far-exceed the capabilities of the first generation?  I know this is all very “I-Robot” but apparently we are on the very cusp of this revolution.

As biology and technology merge, and these applications are adapted to replace human “parts”, the ultimate goal becomes the obsolescence of “flesh” wherein our “being” interfaces with a computerized/mechanized/perfected body, literally an upload of consciousness thereby transcending our “humanity”, (Trans-Humanism) This article HERE makes the point that in the Olivet Discourse Jesus stated “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be”.  The author Britt Gilette, further points out that “no flesh will be saved” isn’t the same thing as “nobody would survive”.  He speculates that if mankind were allowed by God, we would actually achieve this “Transhuman” state.

Genesis 11:6 affirms this capability on the part of mankind, which is what necessitated the mixing up of the languages and scattering of the peoples in Genesis 11:7-8.  (And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.  Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech).

From the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24 we can see these things are happening now: And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

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

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

But how about Daniel 12:4?  But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Here is the projected timeline for these advances in nanotechnology:

projected timeline for nanotechnology advances

That addresses the knowledge, but what about travel?  Is there a potential “increase” of people’s ability to “run to and fro” in our near future?  Well, considering we already have suits that turn our soldiers into super-soldiers, and that can make a handicapped individual capable of walking once again via an ex0-skeleton, it’s not hard to imagine this technology being able to literally enable us to “run to and fro” like the fictional bionic man of the 70′s and 80′s.  (Smarter, stronger faster).   But there are already applications in the works for Space Travel, Auto Industry (with some pretty awesome special effects just for fun as well), Air Travel and Maritime travel and security as well as shipping!

The significance of these things is not only in how it will change daily life, the way we do business, travel, healthcare, and just about every other thing, but that once nanofactories come on the scene to produce all these technologies, production will “explode” exponentially,  and whereas the “industrial revolution” took a couple of centuries, these developments could come about in much less than a decade, conceivably in just a couple of years.  The nanofactory itself will be a fixture of the average household just as is the PC, tablet, cell phone, etc.   We will be able to “manufacture” many things all on our own, using just the basic organic materials found in air and dirt!  And yes, it will also have an impact in the area of food and agriculture!  Now, it’s not the same as that “lab-grown meat” we’ve been hearing about, but I’m sure once they have perfected both processes, a future nanofactory for the production of manufactured meat won’t be far behind.  Yum.  Can’t wait.

Conveniently enough, all of this technology ties in beautifully with the “green movement” and push to reduce our “carbon footprint”.  Just one more piece of the jigsaw puzzle of how the One World Government will control everyone.  Just imagine, a financial collapse/global reset of currency and economy, a period of war and unrest, followed by a fairly frightening, but somewhat orderly re-organization of governmental power into the “ten kingdoms”, and all the mayhem and chaos will increase the need for better, cheaper solutions in medicine, travel, building, logistics, etc.  All this technology is in the wings, just about ready to be implemented, some of it having already been put into use, and all it takes to get that much -needed nanofactory with which to rebuild your house, feed your family, get medical care, oh and pay your carbon tax, is that mark on your right hand or forehead.  Somewhere in there, all the Christians disappear.  Is there any question that in the midst of such unprecedented upheaval, change, revolution and “evolution” that people will be more than happy to embrace a world leader promising peace and prosperity to all? (All of this and more can be yours for just the “small price” of selling your soul to Satan and taking the mark!)  A “New Age” indeed!

Kundalini Serpent Spirit & Yoga

If you search for Kundalini and Shakti on the Internet, you will find that multitudes of people in the New Age and Eastern religions still experience these powerful manifestations. Often this is with the help of a Guru, who touches them on the forehead so that they can experience a "Kundalini Awakening".

As researcher Robert Walker wrote in 1995: "The meetings which mystic Hindu gurus hold are called 'Darshan'.

Thank you for posting this. We absolutely must help people understand about these ungodly spirits that are being imparted upon others right inside the Christian church. http://servehiminthewaiting.wordpress.com/2013/01/29/pineal-gland/

Why, then?

Standard

Why would I post a video by a guy like Jonathan Kleck on my Christian news blog?

Does it not have the potential to perpetuate spiritual confusion?

As a matter of fact, his video is a perfect illustration of a phenomenon that has permeated the church of today.  The seeds of it lie in what some folks call “easy-believism”.  Some pastors whom God has seen fit to deliver from it, will tell you they were instrumental in bringing it about because they bought into the evangelical fervor and decisional regeneration ideology.  That is the cleverly crafted deception that a pastor or even church members can “add to the church” through saleseman-type methods of persuasion that result in “decisions for Christ” baptisms, and new church members, but not necessarily salvation.  This goes to the very root of why I chafe against the church leaders who admonish “smile, come on, we’re Christians, we should be smiling.  We have every reason to be happy”.  This gets to the crux, the heart of what, to me, is a very serious and troubling issue in the church.

The Jonathan Klecks of the church are much like the neglected and abused children in secular America,  who are the final product when human nature, left to its own devices, has its own way, without regard for spiritual law and the corresponding consequences of violating them.  Kids born out-of-wedlock.  Kids in broken and re-blended families.  “Latchkey kids of single parents who “raise themselves” while Mom or Dad work, or party, or date.  When I say spiritual law, I mean “the way it actually is” versus the way we would have it to be if we were in charge.  Which we are not.  The absolutes, as opposed to moral and spiritual relativism.  Spiritually speaking, there is a lot of negligence and spiritual abuse taking place in churches today, resulting in spiritually damaged (and therefore dangerous) people.  The saying that damaged people go on to damage other people holds true in the spiritual realm just as in the physical.

Perceptions do not create reality!  That is not how it works.

So when a church implements a new “plan” for bringing in new members (membership drive), doing so does not change the spiritual law that it is ONLY the Holy Spirit which convicts man, along with his God-given awareness of God’s law (called the conscience), and only if that man defers to the conviction, defers to and agrees with  the Spirit’s indictment of that man’s guilt and sinfulness, and if the response is one of sorrow, regret, repentance, only then does the Holy Spirit do a work of regeneration in that heart that it is willing to be changed.  The result of this is a born-again (regenerated) Christian.  A whole new creature! Not a bad man, fixed up and made “better”.

But the Jonathan Klecks of the church have not been to that place where Salvation can take place because they have been sold a “bill of goods” that is completely bogus and counterfeit, by preachers with a desire to boast in their powers of persuasion and build their cash-flow by sheer numbers, and also by their “deputized emissaries” or disciples trained to go out and “recruit” others.  The mentality, whether formed in those with intent to deceive, or sown in those who are gullible and sincere (full of zeal but devoid of knowledge Romans 10: 1-3) is spiritual poison.

This falsehood that being saved is a simple matter of “accepting Jesus into your heart and life” is satan’s Pièce de résistance!  Words are a funny thing.  I have a little bit of an issue with that phrase, “accepting Jesus”.  Words do have meaning.  What we must actually “accept” when we are saved, is the fact that we are hopeless sinners whose best “goodness” is like filthy rags as compared to God’s standard of “good” which is called righteousness.  In being saved we accept that all the good we could ever do, can never erase the sins we have committed, and that God, Who is actually in charge and Whose justice is perfect, requires shedding of blood for remission of sin.  We are accepting that even our own blood,(being tainted) would not suffice in satisfying that sin-debt, and also it is accepting that what God’s Word says is true, that Jesus, Who is infinite in His being, Who is perfect and sinless, died to satisfy that penalty for your sin, my sin, all sin, infinitely!  What you “accept” is the free gift of God’s grace in applying Jesus’ blood sacrifice in payment for, and as atonement of your guilt.  If you do not accept that, then you remain lost in your sin.  It is justification which you are accepting.  An act on God’s part, wherein He renders and declares you acceptable in His sight, based on the sacrificial death of His own Son in your place. You also are accepting of the fact that Jesus did not die and stay dead, but rose up alive again on the third day, conquering death itself.  So you see, it is not so easy as simply believing (in the same sense satan believes), or embracing and playing at the periphery of churchianity, adopting some of the practices, positions, posturings, and lingo.  This is what Kleck seems to have done.

Someone like Jonathan Kleck, is actually more like the third-generation-offspring of easy-believism.

The first generation probably got “converted” under the likes of Billy Graham.  Who preached enough of the gospel for people to be convicted, only to pull a bit of a bait and switch when they came “to the altar” to be counseled.  They were led to repeat a prayer, and then given assurances that if they had done that, they were now “right with God”.  Their names were recorded and tallied as “decisions for Christ” and they were given a card, with blanks filled in, that said on such-and-such date, at such-and-such time, Mr. (fill-in-the-blank-with-name) ”gave his heart to Jesus”  and then they were admonished that if “satan” ever tried to convince them that they weren’t saved, then they were to pull out that card and remind that old devil what was what.  On the part of the Billy Graham crusade, that same card represented a “notch in the belt”, adding to the “numbers”, but not necessarily adding new souls to the number of the church.

Well, that “new convert” went out as advised, with no further discipling, and found a church that “felt right”, and either (a.) heard a different gospel (the true gospel), felt concern that he might not be saved after all, but then remembered what the counselor at the “altar” at the Billy Graham Crusade told him, and dismissed it as just satan trying to steal his joy, and eventually his conscience became seared and immune to Holy Spirit conviction, or (b.) heard more of the same “I’m okay, you’re okay” it’s great to be a Christian, but don’t judge, don’t cram it down anyones throat, live and let live” tripe.

Either way, the result was usually a “false conversion” which served to make the person think they were saved when quite likely they weren’t, and b)  to effectively inoculate him from ever seeing a need to revisit or re-examine the question of his salvation.  This is not scriptural.  The Bible is clear that we are to always examine, to work out our salvation in fear and trembling.  Make it sure.  (Philippians 2:12).

The second generation that would result from the easy-believism, would be the “worldly Christian” (a.k.a. “nominal christian”).  People who heard this watered down version of “the gospel” which required nothing at all on their part but which promised a “better life”, which is highly subjective and experiential in nature. This is the new “selling point in the absence of any other motivating factor, since guilt and hell seemed to have become irrelevent and no longer a consideration, the “disciples” of this church could only sell “the wonderful life” and a “god who would fill the holes in your heart”.  Very “me-centered”!

Many people signed on for christianity that way, only to find that when they started living according to what they were reading in their Bible, rather than a better life, thier life got more complicated by principles and by the ridicule of their friends, and so in disgust, a lot of folks who came into the church under that banner, walked right back out into the world, feeling they had “tried that christianity thing” and not interested in ever trying it again (inoculated).  Many of those who remained in the church, grew more and more laden under the burden and effort of “being good” and maintaining their “salvation” through their own efforts, with a growing sense of natural resentment at the lack of any immediate gratification, in the face of their expected entitlement, because they were led to believe if they had “kept themselves” they could expect certain things from the Lord.  Out of that mindset was born the prosperity Gospel, the Word-of-faith gospel, this idea that their badge of “Christianity” empowered them with the very power of God, leading folks to believe they could control everything from the weather, to satan, to God Himself.

In every instance, these successive “generations” were just reverting back to the oldest delusion there ever was, that being that God comes to us begging, able to be bartered with, and deals with us on our terms.  It is what satan used on Eve in the garden.  “Thou shall not surely die, God just doesn’t want you to have what He has, there is more to be had, secrets to know, and it’s all yours for the reaching out and taking”.

Over time, these successively misguided generations of the church, being built on shifting sands of tickling doctrines whispered in the ears, rather than those recorded in the Gospels and the Epistles (and the entire BIBLE) and those folks became more and more susceptible and gullible.  (My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge Hosea 4;6). Through un-scriptural practices more and more of these false spirits and doctrines are making their way into the church.  We are not to just “do anything we want and call it church”.  The Bible gives us examples based upon the early church.  Now,  all the while, the true Word was probably still mixed in there, and it was spoken, and preached, but to unregenerate hearts, it was foolishness, and to seared and hardened consciences it may as well have been silence.  They couldn’t understand the Word, so they just listened to what the man in the pulpit told them.  More and more the man in the pulpit made claims of being a present-day apostle,  touting “hidden meanings” that he was “specially anointed to understand, or private revelations.  Do you realize this is the very doctrine of the Nicolaitans  –”that thing which God hates” (Revelation 2:15).  The word means “to subdue the laity”.  The early Roman Catholic church perfected this false doctrine, and with the Latin Bible only the priests could even read God’s word.  Thus the people learned to revere the words of the priest above the Word of God itself.  They believed it when the priest told them that they need appeal to Mary and the saints in order to find favor with God.  I personally feel it is the same “spirit” which has so many convinced that the Bible is riddled with error, and that is particularly disdainful of the King James Bible.

Now, not everyone in these generations of churches was unsaved.  An unsaved man, standing in the pulpit, using just enough truth of scripture to “get by”, can actually still result in salvation in a heart and conscience which are tender.  But only because God said His Word shall not return unto Him void.  The Word is living and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit.  It is profitable for rebuke and correction.  It is the power of the Word itself, the truth contained therein, that resonates with the “law written in man’s heart” (Romans 2:15), and with the double witness of conscience and the Holy Spirit, the eyes of the unbeliever can be opened to recognize truth, be convicted, can repent and be saved, based upon whatever content of the message is based in truth.

What this results in,then, is tares growing among the wheat/ wheat growing among tares.  (Matthew 13: 24-30)  The separation of the two will be addressed by Jesus Himself, at the proper time.  (Matthew  3:12)

Now, in yesterday’s post, the link to a video about Jonathan Kleck, contained audio iin which Kleck himself claimed to be the spirit of a fallen angel.  In the first video he claimed to have had an encounter with an angel which he claimed resulted in his salvation. That is not how God works.

This blog is written from a Christian perspective geared toward those who are interested in understanding the times that we are living in, and the scriptural significance of all that is taking place. That presumes a certain degree of Scriptural familiarity and knowledge on the part of the majority of the readers of this blog, thus I  don’t  generally do a whole lot of explaining/disclaiming in individual posts.  I do realize that many people land on my blog based on a topical search, a one-time exposure without context of the entire blog, however, I figure if they decide it’s worth coming back, they’ll eventually get the big picture.  So, having said all that, I’ll get back on point.

This world has never been quite at the place where we find ourselves today.  It occurred to me as I was covering a lot of the material I’d found on the net about what I am calling the “Messianic mystique” that surrounds Obama, that truly, in the history of the entire world, there truly has never been another historical figure like Barack Obama.  By that, I mean one with such universal appeal.  One with such notoriety.  The only others that come to mind as historical figures go, are Jesus, and Hitler.   When Hitler was rising to power, he was just as popular as Obama.  He wasn’t seen for the “evil incarnate” that he was, until viewed in the rear-view mirror of hindsight and history.  That Obama should be written about in terms which cast him into the same realm of history as Jesus, certainly indicates a readiness on the part of the world, to embrace a single (and singular) world leader.

Be it love or hate, just about anyone in the world, if you were to ask their opinion, has very strong feelings and opinions about this man, Obama.  I have read many blog posts written by people in other nations, touching upon Obama,  and found that they demonstrate a sense of investment and “ownership” in this man who is America’s president.  They really do view him as their own.  The fact being, much of what Obama decides and does here, actually does affect them in some way.  I guess it is hard for those of us who are Americans, to truly grasp the magnitude of the sentiment that the President of America is the leader of the free world.

So what place does a video such as Klecks on the subject of Obama  have on this particular blog which is meant to glorify God, not make a mockery of the Christian faith?  The value of the Kleck video was not in his spritual perspective or commentary, but in what it says about Obama and the adulation (and speculation) that swirls around him.  Further, it sheds light on what passes for discernment/enlightenment/spiritual understanding these days.

For the record, God does not look kindly nor turn a blind eye upon those who turn the grace of God into lasciviousness.  (Jude 1:4) The Greek term behind the word lascivious, is aselgeia, meaning filthiness, or wantonness.  It is a sinful heart, manifested in fleshly words and deeds.  When we are cleansed by the blood of Jesus, we are made clean and pure in God’s sight, and therefore if we revert to re-embrace wicked ways of speaking and behaving, we trade that grace, bought at the high price of the shedding of Christ’s own blood, for filth once again.  Kleck demonstrates that very behavior at the end of his video, taking God’s name in vain, and using expletives, and of course his methodology in regards to receiving spiritual guidance, is in NO WAY scriptural.  Thus the fellow who made the video about Kleck, had weighed Kleck’s “theology” using real discernment which was  based in solid scriptural truth.  Not “feelings”, not “signs” and “tests” and “fleeces”.  People with discernment will recognize that for what it is, meanwhile, some of the content in these videos bring things to light which have been intentionally scrubbed or omitted in any mainstream coverage.

As I have expressed in the past,  for the purposes of this blog, I feel that often even the most “far-out-there” articles and sites have some insight to offer in the way of perspective, if only to show us that such  perspectives exist, and how prevalent and just how extreme they can be.  My comments such as “is he hearing deceptions from devils or revelation from God?” Are meant to encourage people to consider these things for themselves. A flag, of sorts, minus outright pronouncements.  That is because I know that one of the gravest dangers of churchianity today, is that people don’t want to engage the mind God gave them.  They WANT to be told what things mean, and what to believe.   When it comes to deep things, most minds these days are pretty lazy.  They mostly just want a person “with skin on” who understands “dark sentences” and will tell them what it all means. But it’s not just that.  There has been an intentional effort in the spiritual realm, to muddle the message.  Words have become so very vague, relative.  If meaning is fluid, there can be no such thing as absolute truth.  (Ding-ding-ding-ding) BINGO!

That is precisely the “paradigm” satan has been going for, and working toward in the church all along!

Folks, God doesn’t mumble!  The Bible is plain to those who want the truth, and if the gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost.  (2 Corinthians 4:3)

Frankly, I think that particular video of Klecks demonstrates better than any words that I could ever write, just how a one-world religion is completely attainable now.

I remember about a decade or so ago, how it seemed the most unlikely of people would often say something like “have a blessed day”, or express an interest in spiritual things, couch a situation in spiritual terms, and it gave me pause, even seemed good, like they were open and interested in “spritual things”.  Only I’d discover when I brought it around to scripture,  that their beliefs were more or less a hodgepodge, cafeteria style “faith”, a little mysticism, a little Bible, a little Confucius;  a “higher power”.

In other words; a form of Godliness that denies the power thereof.  2 Timothy 3: 1-5 tells us all we need to know about those who practice this brand of “faith”. To them  god is whatever you want him to be, he is in you, you are him, i.e. anything goes!

Heck, yeah, now that’s a church that is gonna be packed out every time the doors are open.  A cool praise band that rocks, and throws back a beer or two with the pastor on Saturday night after practice.   Yes, people are interested in spiritual things, just so long as they don’t encroach upon their freedom to do as they please.  Just not truth.  Not “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no man cometh unto the Father but by Me”.  (John 14:6)  It goes back to wheat and tares.  Are you praying to be found worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass? (Luke 21:36)

What needs to be said and understood is this:  There are only two types of spirits. 

There is God, his holy angels, and born-again (regenerated) followers of Jesus THE Christ (the one and only anointed Messiah)

And then there is Satan, and his fallen angels (also known as demons or devils) and everyone else. (Because he who is NOT a born-again follower of Jesus The Christ, is a follower of his father the devil  (John 8:44).

There are no “neutral” spirits.  No ghosts wandering the earth, trapped between two dimensions, no “harmless spirit guides with greater secret wisdom to dispense”looking to enlighten you for your own benefit and edification.

Mr. Kleck testifies of meeting an angel, of being chosen, of being a spokesperson for God.

Joseph Smith encountered an angel, and the result was the false religion called “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints” or Mormanism.  Aleister Crowley was contacted by a “holy guardian angel” and the result was the false mystical religious philosophy called Thelema.  Alice Bialey was an evangelist with the YMCA who married an Episcopalian priest, but then discovered the teachings of Helena Blavatsky, who taught about “spirit guides” whom she claimed dictated to her “the wisdom of the ages”.  Bailey left her “christianity” behind to follow these Theosophist teachings, and before long she began to hear from a spirit she called Djwhal Khul, whom she referred to as a “descended master”, whom she furthermore believed to be part of a group of “masters of the ancient wisdom” who themselves worked under the guidance of one “Maitreya” (a false christ-  “Christ” is not a name, it is a title, and is reserved for the King of Kings, God the Son).

One of the principles of Theosophy is the “Law of Attraction”, and by now some of you may recognize that this school of teaching is what underlies a belief system that has come to be known as the “New Age” movement.

Now.  Here is where the discussion of the wayward church, meets and joins up with these blatant false religions.  The Purpose Driven Church movement is nothing less than a repackaging of the “Law of Attraction” dressed up and “christianized”.

The word-faith movement is nothing less than this “Law of Attraction” having been adopted and adapted and sanctioned by church leadership.  Alice Bailey taught that your beliefs are an actual “force”.  The word-faith church teaches the same thing.  Say it, do it, claim it, receive it (if it is good, and something you want), and if it isn’t, the rebuke it! Visualizing things into existence or speaking them into existence is an OCCULT practice, as are “clearing the mind and listening into the silence” to hear wisdom.  The likes of Beth Moore teaches the same “listening prayer” and law of attraction principles that were taught and practiced by Alice Bailey.  Same with Joyce Myers, as well as Sarah Young whose “Jesus Calling” was a top seller this Christmas, and is nothing more than her having sessions of “listening prayer” and taking a supposed cosmic “dictation” from God.  Bible studies these days have much less to do with the Bible and much more to do with the latest “christian best seller”.  (“Courageous” anyone? Studying the actual Bible is just so passé  ).  Money that used to support real missionaries now is making these “christian celebrities” into millionaires.

I write about this today because my heart breaks over the prevalence of apostacy in the church.  My spirit is weary of the constant walking on eggshells that has resulted from the loss of any recognition of universal absolutes we once could count on, that once served as  reference points.  It is a foggy and darkened world, now, where even best friends who thought they knew one another, can find themselves at odds one with another due to this disintegration of the ability to communicate meaningfully and definitively. It always did require effort for people to understand one anther, but now we live in the era of paranoia, characterized by the one thing that still remains certain, and that is, the uncertainty of it all.  God gives us what we want a lot of times.  The people of the world have spoken.  The leaders of the world have announced the consensus.  Even in the church. The direct line to Christ wasn’t good enough for these.  They wanted the guy who had the secret knowledge, the private revelation, the more appealing interpretation.  “Give us a king that he may rule over us”.  And a king they shall have.

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.

Aliens/Demons

Standard

The CE4 Research Group (Not an article but an entire website you should explore)

An interest in Aliens, some time in th New Age Movement, then he meets Christ, becomes born again, and God then takes all those experiences from his past and shows him the truth, and enables him to speak with the authority of his first-hand experience in leading others to know the truth.  This is important stuff for our time because the demonic realm is increasingly mingling with our own physical dimension now and will continue to do so as things progress into the Tribulation!

Guest post: The Christian Believer As Spiritual Midwife

Standard

THE CHRISTIAN BELIEVER AS SPIRITUAL MIDWIFE by Jean-Louis

Exodus 1:15-21 (NIV)
The Hebrew Midwives
The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names were Shiphrah and Puah, 16 “When you are helping the Hebrew women during childbirth on the delivery stool, if you see that the baby is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live.” 17 The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live. 18 Then the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this? Why have you let the boys live?” 19 The midwives answered Pharaoh, “Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive.” 20 So God was kind to the midwives and the people increased and became even more numerous. 21 And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.”
Galatians 4:21 Hagar and Sarah
For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. 23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise. The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. 28 Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise. 29 At that time the son born according to the flesh persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now. 30 But what does Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”31 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.

Since times immemorial, it has been Satan’s plan to destroy God’s creation. He has used every means available in this attempt. However, he has always been late, behind God’s sovereign design in the redemptive work of all he had made since the beginning.

In this study, we will concentrate on the theme of midwifery and spiritual new birth and the importance of understanding the patterns established by God in the Old and New Testament in order to obey the command of our Lord Jesus and to follow his instructions on how to bear fruit, much fruit and fruit that will last to the Father’s glory.
We will also examine the parallel between the physical birth and the new spiritual birth as it is brought about by the preaching of the Word of God
In 1980, as my first boy was still in the womb, I was living in a beautiful place in Southern California. During about 25 years, I was following New Age teaching practices and was deeply involved in Eastern philosophy, metaphysics, practicing Hindu Kriya Yoga, meditation, and chanting.   As I was learning to make my contribution to the natural birth of this precious new soul on the planet, I went to Lamaze classes regularly and planned to have a midwife assisted home birth. After all, my parents were born at home, I was born at home and I planned to continue the tradition with my children in spite of the state of California’s law preventing non registered midwives without a nurse’s degree from practicing their profession. At the New age bookstore, I found a Book “Spiritual Midwifery” from which I intended to learn spiritual techniques in order to provide the best spiritual environment thus ensuring a successful spiritual birth.
Satan has always worked and succeeds in his schemes as a stealth and able master-counterfeiter. You can be sure that if the Lord God is doing anything good and true, holy and just, Satan will be right behind peddling his imitations unbeknownst to most people. What it takes is the spiritual gift of discernment given by the Holy Spirit and a lot of experience and practice to detect the deception.
Now for 35 years after the Lord sought me and restored me in his fold, I have been blessed to have the Word as a faithful companion and the Holy Spirit as a wonderful teacher- helper to help me grow in the understanding and the practice expected of his children. I have been privileged to sit and learn under some great pastors/teachers who exemplified a godly life that I wanted to emulate.
It is unfortunate and very sad that the “Church” at large has embraced the counterfeits and been, for so long, a willing and ready accomplice in unknowingly (or perhaps not) propagating lies and doing the work of the enemy.
You would think that the Lord who gave the command to multiply both in the Old and the New Testaments would leave us with some instructions on how to do the job. Well, he has. He has provided the operation’s manual in his Word and left us with the Helper, the Holy Spirit of Truth to help us understand his instructions.
Nowadays, a lot of Christians are willing and eager to follow the latest trend in ministry, the latest techniques from contemplative and meditative exercises both from the East and from the ancient desert father’s and Catholic mystics practices. The latest advices and techniques from the gurus of the secular successful business world can be thrown in the mix for a good measure. But in so doing they have lost the fundamental and essential elements of the creation. ” Like begets like”. His creation must reproduce according to their kind, God said and it was so. He meant it for the physical reproduction and also for the spiritual reproduction.
You might say that I learnt about spiritual birth from the counterfeit, in the reverse order although I had previously experienced the genuine spiritual new birth. Actually God never wastes anything. These experiences and learning just happened in the chronological order of my life and have been an invaluable resource both in understanding the present state of the deceived part of Christendom under whatever new and fancy name it chooses to call itself, and a great tool for teaching about false religions and the New Age movement and their insidious influence and infiltration of the Church.
I am not advocating learning from the enemies by poring over their teaching materials or learning from the techniques themselves to check out if they are true or false, if they work or not, far from it. Believe me, they work. I am just pointing out that we have been so enticed and charmed by the smoke and mirrors of the master illusionist that we have forgotten to look deeply and carefully in the wonderful revelation of God’s purpose through his Word as if it were obsolete and useless for this generation. Are we so foolish to think that we can do a better job than God himself?
A lot of verses could be used to illustrate and support the idea of the importance of the midwife and spiritual birth.  However, I will limit myself to use only the very clear and particular scriptures relevant to this study.
This is only an introduction. More will follow in installments. I prefer to write that way because of time constraints and the limitations of a blog.
Till then, God bless you.

The Mysterious Disappearing Post

Standard

You guys knonw the kind of stuff I cover on this blog.  On the 22nd I blogged about the UN day of Peacekeeping and several other events that went along with that.  One blogger who reblogged the post, wrote me and was concerned that since I had removed it from my site, maybe I would want him to remove it from his.  But the thing is, I didn’t remove it from my site.  It was removed, the question is, who did  remove it?   We struggle not against flesh and blood.  Satan is the “god of this world” and “ruler of the powers of the air”.  Perhaps he has censors.  :-)    The internet works by transmission signals through the air  via satellite.  How many times have you been working on an important and well-researched post, only to have it disappear on you.  It is frustrating, but I just chuckle and say, hey, I can do this over and over again all day long.  The post is still intact in my “all posts” so I got to it that way and reblogged it. I was able to get to the origina post that way.   I don’t like to reblog a reblog, so here is the info again.  I think you should spread this one as far and wide as you can. The original post was entitled “Do You Know What Day This Was? You Do Not Want to Miss this Post”. And ran on 9/22 at 00:36am

It is all about the New Age/UN Illuminati agenda and timetable for 2012.  …………………………………………………………

You will want to watch the videos and click every highlighted word for the attached links in this post.  This is important stuff to know because it is part of that delusion God said He is going to send to those who “love not the truth”.

Today was the culmination of the UN 2012 “Summer of Peace”. (It began on June 22).  Here are some of the events:

The 15th-19th of July was N.A.I.N. Connect  N.A.I.N. is

North American Interfaith Network

Building Bridges of Interfaith Understanding, Cooperation and Service. You can read all about what took place at this gathering right here on WordPress: NAINblog and hear about it in this “exciting” video, posted in June, that had been viewed a whopping 23 times when I saw it.

Today was the International Day of Peace.  The UN established this observance in 1981.  In 2oo1 they modified the resolution and designated September 21 as the International Day of Peace.  There is a vigil each year on this date.  The UN website describes it’s purpose here:

An ever-expanding number of people worldwide, representing a wide variety of religious and spiritual traditions, have committed to the task of working with other like-minded individuals and groups for an International Day of Peace Vigil with the following objective:

“To encourage worldwide, 24-hour spiritual observations for peace and nonviolence on the International Day of Peace, 21 September in every house of worship and place of spiritual practice, by all religious and spiritually based groups and individuals, and by all men, women and children who seek peace in the world.”

And coming up on October 13-21 Is the Awakened World 2012 Conference  Here is a screen capture from their homepage:

Here are a couple of snips which tell who the participants are in the conference:

Guests at this conference include, (but not limited to):

Dalai Lama; Giuliano Amato, former prime minister of Italy; Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, the Pontifical Council for Interreligious;  Cardinal Walter Kasper of the Pontifical Council for Ecumenism; Jamal Raman,  Muslim Sufi interfaith minister: Marcus Braybrooke, President of the World Council of Faiths;   Charles Gibbs, executive director of the United Religions Initiative;   Barbara Marx Hubbard, president of the Foundation for the Evolution of Consciousness;   Yolande Iliano, president of the Religions for Peace in Europe;   Deepak Chopra, author and instructor of the New Age; William Ury, Cofounder with Jimmy Carter, Harvard Law School Project on Negotiation,  Vinu Aram, former president of the World Conference of Religions for Peace; Amy S. Marks, Baha’i International Center and co-president of World Religions. (Not all are confirmed)

If that hasn’t been enough to jolt you,  just keep reading, because on that infamous day, December 21, 2012, comes this………….

Ok, so remember the Phoenix rising from the ashes, and the creepy gigantic baby at the US Olympic Ceremony?

Well, THIS is the “birth”/”rebirth” that was being celebrated with all that pageantry:

But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.  2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. – I Thes. 5:1-10

The world is clearly crying “peace and safety” everywhere we turn.  As Christians we should discern the times, as this passage tells us, and not be caught unawares.  Sudden Destruction is coming, it will be “like labor pains” getting more serious, intense, closer together.  Be prepared.  Pray.  Stay in the Word.  Wear the Armor, and Forsake-not the assembling together.  These are our instructions for the time we are entering into.
