The True Meaning of Genesis 12:3

2011-07-18T12:57:00.000-07:00

The Real Truth about the Meaning of Genesis 12:3
(All Scripture references are taken from the NLT unless otherwise specified)
Genesis 12:3 says: "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
As we see in verse 1, the Lord is specifically speaking to Abraham, who is the father of all of the faithful on the earth.
This seems to present a serious problem to many today who seem to presume that Abraham is only related to the unbelieving modern nation of "Israel", and has little or nothing to do with the followers of Jesus Christ. Nothing could be further from the truth, and, if we would allow the sacred Scriptures to interpret themselves in the inspired, godly way over the way of those who insist on rebelling against God and His Christ, we would start to draw ourselves into the Scripture truths over the destructive lies and fantasies that have so taken us over the cliff and on into the trash heap of history. If we don't repent, and really start taking the Christian faith seriously, that is exactly where we are going to end up, and much sooner than later. My, how we love to dither while America burns down! What fun it is to go right along, and down the rabbit hole and its descent into total darkness.
If, perchance we would start to take the whole Bible seriously, and allow it to clarify truth and interpret itself, we would quickly discover how and why we have gone astray from the real Gospel truth, and have entered our modern dark age.
Certainly, God never intended for the Christians to support and align themselves against God's Christ and his truths with any unbelievers, no matter what the supposed or concocted pretext! By your inattentiveness to these important and critical matters, you blaspheme God. God's heavy hand of judgment awaits people who so wholeheartedly engage in such evil endeavors, and willfully thwart such important truth! Is this not what you are doing, and so misleading many others who look to you for far better things? Listen to the truth, and repent! Already, is not God's protective hand being removed from this now straying and unrepentant nation? Is there truly a real "Bible belt" in America, or is the phrase but a catch all for all of the modern apostate isms that now infest our once straight nation? It is time for a wake-up call for the church to start serving the one royal Master alone, our Lord Jesus Christ, and discontinue their subservience to all those who oppose Him still!
Abraham is certainly not the father of the unbelieving Jews and nation, and never was. But he is the father of all who are in Jesus Christ, and always were, as the Scriptures declare. Read all about it in the New Testament. Here are some samples from God's truth.
Galatians 3:6-9 tells us: "In the same way, 'Abraham believed God, so God declared him righteous because of his faith.' The real children of Abraham, then, are all those who put their faith in God.
What's more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would accept the Gentiles, too, on the basis of their faith. God promised this good news to Abraham long ago when he said, 'All nations will be blessed through you.' And so it is: All who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith."
Gal.3:25-29 -- "So you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have been made like him. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male or female. For you are all Christians—you are one in Christ Jesus. And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and now all the promises God gave to him belong to you." (see Rom. 10:4) (Note: There is no mention of unbelieving Israel here, but of believers only!)
Paul, in speaking to the brethren in Christ, says at Gal. 6:15-16: "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God." (KJV) The New Living Translation further clarifies this "Israel of God" as "the new people of God." The full context clarifies believers here, not unbelievers!
Jesus, speaking with the Roman officer: (Mt. 8:10-12)
"When Jesus heard this (see Mt. 8) he was amazed. Turning to the crowd, he said, 'I tell you the truth, I haven't seen faith like this in all the land of Israel. And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven. But many Israelites—those for whom the Kingdom was prepared—will be cast into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Re. the faith of Abraham, see Rom. 4. See also Hebrews 2:16, 6:13, ch 7, 11:11-16 and all of ch. 11.
In Eph. 1:13 and 23 we read: "And now you also have heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. The Spirit is God's guarantee that he will give us everything he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. This is just one more reason for us to praise our glorious God." (See Rom. 8:14 & 28-30)
Further confirmation that believers are the new people of God can be found at the following:
Luke 12:31-32 -- "'He will give you all you need from day to day if you make the Kingdom of God your primary concern. So don't be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.'"
James 1:17-18 -- "Whatever is good and perfect comes to us from God above, who created all heaven's lights. Unlike them, he never changes or casts shifting shadows. In his goodness he chose to make us his own children by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his choice possession." (See also John 1:13)
Re. Christ's conversation with old Israel's religious leaders, which was prior to Jerusalem's destruction in 70 ad, we read:
Matt. 21:42-44: ""Then Jesus asked them, 'Didn't you ever read this in the Scriptures? "The stone rejected by the builders has now become the cornerstone. This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous to see."
What I mean is that the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation that will produce the proper fruit. Anyone who stumbles over that stone will be broken to pieces, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.""
It very much seems today that this is indeed the case. The ungodly and unbelieving nation of modern Israel gets all the preferences by the modern unbelieving church, that is badly stumbling at the truth, and it will indeed be crushed all to pieces, which is what it deserves, because it has forsaken God, his Word, and his truth, except it repents!
The modern, faithless and unbelieving church, apostate to the very core, installs those whom Luke calls "stubborn", "heathen at heart and deaf to the truth", "who resist the Holy Spirit" on a high pedestal and chief cornerstone throughout all of history! Luke goes on to say, "But your ancestors did, and so do you. Name one prophet your ancestors didn't persecute! They even killed the ones who predicted the coming of the Righteous one—The Messiah whom you betrayed and murdered. You deliberately disobeyed God's law, though you received it from the hands of angels." (See all of Acts 7:51-53. Note also Acts 3:12-15 and Luke 11:50-54.)
I Pet. 2:4-10 -- "Come to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God's temple. He was rejected by the people, but he is precious to God who chose him.
And now God is building you, as living stones, into his spiritual temple. What's more, you are God's holy priests, who offer the spiritual sacrifices that please him because of Jesus Christ. As the Scriptures express it,
'I am placing a stone in Jerusalem, a chosen cornerstone, and anyone who believes in him will never be disappointed.' (Phil. 4:18)
Yes, he is very precious to you who believe. But for those who reject him, 'The stone that was rejected by the builders has now become the cornerstone.'
And the Scriptures also say, 'He is the stone that makes people stumble, the rock that will make them fall.'
They stumble because they do not listen to God's word or obey it, and so they meet the fate that has been planned for them.
But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are a kingdom of priests, God's holy nation, his very own possession. This is so you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.
'Once you were not a people; now you are the people of God. Once you received none of God's mercy; now you have received his mercy.'
I Cor. 1:2 -- "We are writing to the church of God in Corinth, you who have been called by God to be his own holy people…"
Eph. 1:4-5 -- "Long ago, even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave him great pleasure."
Nor was his plan of the ages left unfinished as you in the modern church now assume in your ignorance and blindness. The Scriptures affirm that Christ completed everything that God the Father sent Him here to do. It is far better and more blessed to take special note of the following:
John 4:34 -- In response to his disciples questions to Jesus (vv. 31-33) "Then Jesus explained: 'My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work."
John 17:4-5 -- "I brought glory to you here on earth by doing everything you told me to do. And now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began."
John 19:30 -- "When Jesus had tasted it, he said, 'It is finished!' Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit."
Dare any reasonable person among us continue to assume that Christ failed in any element of the work of our salvation, or left something vital undone out of it that the unbelieving Jews couldn't accept, along with the other heathen who decide against Him and the great work of salvation that He planned from the very beginning on our behalf? (See Mt. 25:34.)

From all of these Scriptures, and the great testimony of all of the remainder which backs them up, we should realize just how totally wrong it is to support the modern state of Israel in its rebellious unbelief. Furthermore, we should recognize just how totally wrong it is to team up with the faithless nation whose sole purpose and desire is to continue to reject Christ still, and to erect yet another earthly temple and animal sacrificial system in Christ's place. Such Scriptures as II Cor. 6:14-18, Eph. 5:11, Rom. 13:12, II Th. 2:3, I Tim.4:1-3, and II John 7-10 give us much better insights. Those who do obeisance and honor to such heretical and even blasphemous ideas do clearly demonstrate just how deficient they are in their understanding of God's complete and finished work of salvation, as the Holy Spirit bears witness with God's Word of revealed truth. And then, finally, with our spirits also, as the truth is confirmed to us in great peace and joy unspeakable and full of God's great glory from his majestic throne on high. (See also Luke 11:33-36.) For in these wonderful truths, there is no deficiency or matter left unattended to await any future fulfillment, but that glorious and majestic completion that is powerful to establish our course on God's higher plane to victory in Him who suffered and died in our place, that we might indeed glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
In conclusion, I would have to say that to just rely solely on Gen. 12:3 with today's flawed set of presumptions and superficial misconceptions, and to seek no further light and insight in the Scriptures is to engage in extremely seriously reckless and dangerous thinking. Indeed, to cling solely to just this one Scripture, and even then, to misconstrue its real meaning so that it supports and honors unbelievers, is absurd and ludicrous in every conceivable way. It is filled with the kind of human folly that is so altogether reminiscent of the Scripture warning of the blind leaders (Mt. 15:14) and their indifferent followers of this present world who fall into the ditch, and are so far gone as to never even realize it. To such people, who insist on clinging to such dark reasonings, it cannot be overemphasized that they desperately need to pray and to study all the more to show themselves approved unto God as more worthy workmen who need not to be ashamed and are happy and willing to rightly divide the Word of truth (II Tim. 2:15) even over the deluded errors of the day, if indeed, they are truly called and chosen of God. For the entire matter could not be more pressing and serious! For Genesis 12:3 supports God's real children, who are believers in Christ, the Messiah whom Abraham served. Those who bless them will be blessed of God. But those who bless unbelievers will be cursed. Are we not seeing that in our nation today?

Jew and Gentile -- pp. 73-74. Equal, and wall of separation removed -- p.74, #10. Acts 10:34-35 -- there are no favorites with God.
The Jews -- Mt. 3:7; 12:34; 23:35; Lu. 3:7 -- A generation of vipers. Christ is a stumbling block to them I Cor. 1:23. They have become a byword among the nations in history because of their rebellion and disobedience to God. See Deut. 28:37; I Ki. 9:6-9; II Chr. 7:20-22.
Our Lord Jesus says of them, in Matt. 23:15: "What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people's faces. You won't go in yourselves, and you won't let others enter either." (see through v. 39*. Also, I Th. 2:14-16.)
It is most fitting here to mention how still even today, the above Scripture is being played out in the Jewish religious books. They remove all prophetic references to the coming of Christ 2000 years ago. In this way, they perpetrate a lie and "shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people's faces"… They refuse to entertain any questions to the truth by removing the truth. Such evils remain overlooked by many modern "Christians", who naively live out a lie against Christ, and support the Jews in their wicked ways against Him instead.

A Critical Warning: From Ignorence to Captivity

2011-01-06T05:15:00.000-08:00

Here we are, finally, at the start of another new year! But just how new will the rest of your life be? Most likely, it will end up being more of the same old ideas and mistakes. Because when it comes to change, people can't adjust themselves to anything connected with it, no matter how good it really is.
The Holy Bible speaks about change in the following terms: a new creation in Christ (II Cor.5:17; Gal. 6:15; Eph.2:15, 4:24; Col. 3:10), being born again (Jn. 3:3-8), all things made new (II Cor. 5:17; Heb. 10:20-23), a new name (Rev. 2:17, 3:12), a new song (Rev. 14:3), a new and better covenant (I Cor. 11:25; Heb. 8:6, 13), a new and living way (Heb. 10:20), the new and life-giving way (Heb. 7:19, 22, 8:6), the new way of the Spirit (Ro. 7:6; Gal. 5:1), a new doctrine (Mark 1:27; Acts 17:19), a new commandment (Jo. 13:34), a new lump (I Cor. 5:7), a new life (II Cor. 5:17; Gal. 3:21; Heb. 7:22), the new Jerusalem (Rev. 21:2), all things made new (II Cor. 5:17; Heb. 10:20-23; Rev. 21:5), the new people of God (Lu. 12:31-32; Eph. 1:13, 23; Jas. 1:17-18, Ro. 8:14, 20-30).
Clearly God is the expert at makeovers, but only for those who are indeed truly interested in Christ and actually serious about Him. If you love Christ with all your heart, and soul, and mind (Mt. 7:14), and if you trust Him and His Spirit to help you to be made over, then you may indeed experience rebirth from on high. But "all those who do not love the Lord Jesus are cursed" (I Cor. 16:22). So, actually, how much made over are you? And, actually, which kind of a person are you? Isn't it high time for a truer evaluation of your own self?
Perhaps you are one of those Americans who desired and voted for change in the last election. Perhaps you wanted to see America restored to its original foundations. Yet without a real restoration of America's original foundations, built on actual and real Biblical truths and principles, you will still end up with a crumbling nation. To put it another way, you are still wasting your time without God and His truths in your life. God does not honor hypocrisy (Mt. 23:28; I Tim. 4:2)!
Perhaps you long for a better life. Pray tell, where on earth do you ever expect to find that without Christ and the protective boundaries of His New Covenant? Today's America and Americans, and many Christians, couldn't be further removed from that important "straight and narrow way" (Mt. 7:14). Today they seem to prefer the broad way that leads to destruction (Mt. 7:13-14; I Jo. 2:26), and care not to become any the wiser, for they have been rigorously trained in it. So, your hopes are in vain, built upon a shaky foundation of shifting winds of false doctrines, heresies, apostasy (Eph. 4:14; Ro. 16:17; Col 2:4; II Jo. 10-11; III Jo. 11), strong delusion (II Th. 2:7-12), and your well-loved lies ((Ro. 1:25; II Th. 2:11; Jas. 3:14, I Jo. 2:21; Rev. 21:27, 22:15) far removed from the protection of Christ's New Covenant and its boundaries. How can you claim to be in Christ and His Covenant while running all around the outside of all of its protective boundaries, happily chasing after humanist-centered lies? Clearly, you are not in His New Covenant at all if you care not a whit for it, and you are still totally clueless and deceived. And this is bad. You have been indoctrinated, from the inside out, to follow evils. You think that you can get away with short ending God and leave Him and His Covenant out of your agenda, you stand in the crosshairs of judgment.
You are now in captivity because of your ignorance of many of God's truths, and well you deserve to be if you willfully choose such a lowly course of conduct. If you care little about honoring God and His straight, narrow ways in your thoughts and your ways, then you will always remain in captivity to Satan and thoughts that serve him and his reprobate purposes. It's time for a thorough reality check, fellow American "Christian"! Wake up! It is far later than you think! You are running out of time to get it right! The day is well spent, and the night is descending on you and on your deceived nation. Enlighten yourself, America! To everything there is a season (Eccles. 3:1). America's ideals depend on the kind of person that you are, or are not.
Go now to Amazon.com. Get the book, There Is A Kingdom, by Anita Whalley. Read it and absorb its truths, while you still have a little more time left to do so and to benefit from it!

'Twas the Eve before Destruction
By Government Propaganda.com 12/14/04
You may reproduce this but give credit where credit is due

'Twas the eve before destruction, when all through the land
Not a creature was stirring, under homeland securities hand;
The alarm systems enabled by families with care,
In hopes that the fed's wouldn't come around there;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of camps and jack-booted thugs danced in their heads;
And mamma with her shootin iron, and I with my sword,
Had just changed shifts at watching the door,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Showed up fleeting dark objects scurrying below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature tank, and federal agents eager to commandeer,
Around in a circle they watched through night vision,
Pointing their weaponry excited to accomplish their mission,

With a leader in black, and a ski mask for his head,
I knew in a moment we might all soon be dead.
More crafty than serpents the minions they came,
And he raced, and he signaled, and he called them by name;
"Now, East! now, West! now, Rear and Front Flank!
Establish your positions and bring me that tank!
You! to the top of the porch! and You on that wall!
Now bring me that flamethrower and you'd better not stall!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
Set in motion by the helicopter up in the sky,
So down on the house-top did the bright spotlight shine,
Sending a shiver and a chill down my spine.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The scuffing and tapping of each little boot.
As I drew up my sword, and was turning around,
Down came the door as it smashed to the ground.

He was dressed all in Kevlar, and big as a tree,
And his clothes were all bloodied from his last killing spree;
A cache of weapons he had flung on his back,
And he drew out an Uzi from his back pack.

His eyes glowed red as he peered through the dwelling,
And his voice was gravely as he began yelling!
And for a moment I thought I did see,
The head of a goat as looked around for me;

Two stumps protruded from the top of his head,
And a little red glow emitted from the walking dead;
He had a red face so cold and so mean,
But in place of a pitchfork was an M-16.
He scanned the whole room, as he slowly turned his big head,
And I shuddered when I saw him, as we dove under the bed;
He singled us out and pointed at me, And turned to his minions,
And shouted, grab them and get them, before they can flee!

He spoke not a word, as they hogtied us all,
And out of the room we were dragged through the hall,
The night could not pass without any bloodshed,
He stopped in the kitchen and leveled his gun,
And shot our poor dog while she cowered in her bed;

Out into the cold he dragged us through the snow,
And into a van he threw us, where he would take us, we could not know.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
"Tell homeland security we've finished the fight!"

Freedom or Tyranny! It is your choice today, and one day you WILL have to choose! Educate yourself NOW!
The day has arrived for you to make your fateful choice. The future of the Republic hangs in the balance! Do you just go along with the fascist totalitarian plans for America, or will you break with the current agenda and support the Constitution? Decide this day whom you will serve!

The Master's Covenant

2010-12-07T08:17:00.000-08:00

"Show me your ways, O Lord; Teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation; On you I wait all the day." (Psalm 25:4-5.)
"...The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His Covenant." (Psalm 25:14.)
What the Psalmist is speaking about here is the everlasting Covenant of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. I'm sure he was aware of it's existence and it's saving power in the coming Messiah. It is the one and the same Covenant that runs all throughout sacred Scripture, from Genesis, in the Protevangelian, through the Revelation. It is the high message of God to believers everywhere. In it is God's straight and narrow way, the only way sanctionned and blessed by God. To find it and honor it is to bring God up close and personal to us for today and for always. To find it is to find life more abundantly. God draws close to us as we search out his ways in what He has shown us in His New Covenant. I have already found it and have written a book that can expedite your finding of this way of miracles God has set down in place from before the foundations of the world were laid. Go today to Amazon.com and grab up your copy of There Is A Kingdom, by Anita Whalley. It will open up a whole new world of discovery, a doorway that you never knew was there. You will be most richly blessed in following His straight and narrow way to victory.

Are We On God's Side Today?

2010-09-26T07:25:00.000-07:00

Are We On God's Side Today?
The title is a very serious question indeed, but especially so for those who call themselves Christians today.

So how does a Christian discern the reality of just where he stands, or whose side he is actually on? We see so-called compelling evidence offered to support many theories today, but where can we actually go to find the real, saving truth?

One sign that is very much with us today is the actual existence of the modern state of Israel in the Middle East. Other signs are catastrophic occurrences throughout the world, far too numerous to mention here. We also cannot help but observe the warfare of militant Islam against America and Israel, because of our foreign policy that supports and favors Israel in all of its goals, essentially. We morally support it, and we materially support it with our very hefty financial support using billions of U. S. taxpayer dollars. Apparently, America loves Israel above all other nations on the planet, it seems even above herself! And it fears Islam, as being antagonistic and militant against its current policies, as has been very apparent by its opposition to the building of a mosque near ground zero. And recently a minister in Florida wanted to set aside a Saturday night to hold a burning event for the Quran. Well, do the sacred Scriptures offer us any deeper insights into the current situation, along with any way through? Where is the sure guidance that we need to take us through such a dangerous minefield as now exists?

If we are wise, we would do well to look beyond all of the external signs and signals to the infallible Word of God itself as contained in the Holy Bible. It is there that real truth is spoken, and not in the words of mere men who think they know, but who really don't know, and but continually lead the nation down a rat hole. It is there, in the sacred Word itself, where the real answers are, and have always been.

Today we hear much from men who claim to know all about Antichrist. But what do the Scriptures have to say about him? Let's take a good look.

Any serious Christian who has a concordance can look up references to him in there. They can be found at I Jo. 2:18, 19 4:1-6, 5:1, 5, and II Jo. 7-10.

So, what do all of these verses tell us about him? Let's see, I Jo. 2:18 tells us that many "antichrists" were already in the world in John's day. I Jo. 4:1-6 reveals to us that the spirit of Antichrist is one which "does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh" (v. 3). Further, such Antichrist spirits are "of the world" (v. 5). In II Jo. 7 he tells us that "a deceiver and an antichrist" is one who does "not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh." So he repeats this very important point, to further emphasize it. Then, words of warning are given for the believers in Christ to abide "in the doctrine of Christ" (v. 9), and not to greet others who do not believe in Christ, lest they share in their "evil deeds" (v. 11). In other words, believers are not to get bogged down with unbelievers. The Gospel of Christ is on the line here, and is far more important than forming relationships and alliances with those who reject Christ.

Wow, doesn't this shed much needed light on the subject of "Antichrist"? Yet, today, the Apostle's words are rejected by modern evangelicals and premillenarians in favor of a different consensus altogether. Today's interpretation of Antichrist sites those nasty, contentious Gentile nations who supposedly will go to war against unbelieving Israel when it reinstates the temple at Jerusalem and another system of animal sacrifices set up in place of Christ, God's Savior who is still rejected by the nation. Today's interpretation says that Christ will return and go to war against these Gentile nations who reject modern Israel's project set up in place of the Savior Himself. Today's interpretation says that such unbelievers are still his chosen people, and not believers, contrary to the actual words of Scripture! (better check out I Cor. 1:2, 15:2; Gal. 6:16; Eph. 1:4,14; Jas. 1:17-18, just for starters!) Today's interpretation says that there is no "synagogue of Satan" (Rev. 2:9, 3:8-13), but only the unbelieving Jews who must always remain the special chosen people of God, contrary to the actual words of Scripture.

It appears that many modern American Christians who have casually and blithely accepted the fables of men and have rejected the actual words of sacred Scripture are justifiably afraid of what may be coming their way, except they repent. Is it that some still small voice within them tells them that they are indeed not on God's side, but on Antichrist's side instead? Is it indeed that they are beginning to realize that they have not done their rightful homework in his Word, but have instead followed the winsome, high sounding words of deceivers?

The days of superficial Christians and Christianity are drawing down to a day of calamity for the apostate nation and its "Christians". It is long overdue time for all real Christians to get seriously busy with God and his Word of truth, and to go deeper in with God than they have currently done. Modern Christians want God to be on their side, and presume that He is, but how can they be on his side when they believe far more in antichrist than they do in Christ? Thus they become disturbed and fearful when some other power threatens their strange beliefs. Will they ever decide that they need to get down to real business with God, or do they just feel that they are far too occupied with other things that they consider more desirable and important?

The command of Christ has never been for Christians to take upon themselves the goals and the agenda of unbelievers, no matter how high sounding these ideas appear. The command of Christ has been to evangelize this world, or lead people to Himself as Savior and Lord. Nor have Christians ever been commanded to get mired down in other terms of warfare against them. Instead, we are to be instant in season and out of season to give a true witness for Christ and the truth in Christ! We are to be salt and light for Jesus! To engage in other projects, such as book burnings, or the denial of their place of worship, falls far short of our higher calling in Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is far more capable of winning over the pagans, if only those who call themselves Christians would be faithful and follow its commands. But we have taken a serious deviation today away from it into that forbidden area of supporting unbelievers who reject Him on one side, but who have their own agenda for their salvation, just as they did in Paul's day. The whole key to wisdom and understanding is the full realization that the Christ of God has already come in history, and has finished everything to the fullest satisfaction of God and our human need for salvation, for both Jew and Gentile. Our spiritual void is entirely satisfied in Him. To tamper with this reality in any way is to destroy what He has already accomplished on all of our behalfs.

There simply are no other legitimate agendas connected to God or his will. It behooves us to reckon with this completely without any shadow of turning back to the things of this world and their agenda that is separate from Him. To do what many in the church today have done, to go back to supporting unbelieving Judaism, and some future earthly kingdom under whatever unscriptural pretext, has done great damage to the Gospel of Jesus, and it makes them a supporter and partaker with their antichrist rejection of Jesus. It makes them a supporter and partaker with evil. Their futurizing of much of prophecy that has already been fulfilled in history has led them into the crooked way that they are now embarked on today. Indeed, they have now become the slaves of antichrist unbelievers in the modern state of Israel. They have exchanged the truth for the lie (Ro. 1:25) that Satan gladly uses to destroy the one true faith. Indeed, they have become Satan's minions! They have become entangled now with a forbidden yoke of bondage (Gal. 5:1) with and for unbelievers. And so they are misguided and fearful, because they have strayed far away from the Gospel light. They are indeed not on God's side at all! They are deeply mired down in apostasy. To continue on their current destructive course will bring God's harshest judgment, and America will be lost forever. Their misguided and confused gospel of mixed messages and signals has strengthened the hands of unbelieving men in our government and elsewhere who have gladly sold our once great Christian nation out to unbelievers. We have gone from a once free nation to a slave state that is in bondage to those who reject and hate Christ. Our legacy throughout history will be the most easily duped generation in all of history. For we had the written Word of God readily available to us. We had the great documents of freedom within easy reach. And we let all of them slip away from us as of little or no importance or consequence whatsoever! We had Christian and patriotic voices of warning raised, and we ignored the truth on every side. What a foolish and deluded generation and nation, long overdue and ripe for God's hand of harshest judgment raised against it!

Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. William Penn.

It is never right to do wrong in order to get a chance to do right. Dr. Bob Jones, Chapel Sayings (CS)

If American democracy is to remain the greatest hope of humanity, it must continue abundantly in the faith of the Bible. Calvin Coolidge.

There is no tragedy as tragic as combining high mentality with low morality. CS. (Dr. Bob Jones)

If our religion is something objective, then we must never avert our eyes from those elements in it which seem puzzling or repellent; for it will be precisely the puzzling or the repellent which conceals what we do not yet know and need to know. C. S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory.

A man is a fool who leans on the arm of flesh when he can be supported by the arm of Omnipotence. CS.

Further Chapel Sayings from Dr. Bob Jones re. right vs. wrong:

The man who sincerely and unselfishly desires to know what's right doesn't have any trouble finding out what's right.
When there is a good, straight road to the right place, why go a roundabout way to get to that place?
The things you do that you ought not to do, you do because you don't do what you ought to do.
What you love and what you hate reveal what you are.
The two biggest little words in the English language are the two little words "do right".
Back of every tragedy in human character, there is a process of wicked thinking.
You can do anything you ought to do.
No doubt the trouble is with you.
Go as far as you can on the right road.
The right road always leads out at the right place.
You can't do wrong and get away with it.

The problem is basically theological and involves a spiritual recrudescence… It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh.
Spoken by General Douglas MacArthur @ the surrender of Japan, Sept. 2, 1942.

The Prayer of George Washington:

Almighty God, who has given us this good heritage, we humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do thy will.
Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners.
Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogancy, and from every evil way.
Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought out of many kindreds and tongues.
Endow with the spirit of wisdom those whom in Thy name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be peace and justice at home, and that through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth.
In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail. Amen.

American Patriotic Insights for All Americans.

American Patriotic Insights That Can Help Us to Protect Our Great Constitutional Republic, If We Get to Work

"He who endeavors to control the mind by force is a tyrant, and he who submits is a slave." --Ingersoll.

"Lenin was certainly right, there is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the basis of existing society than to debauch the currency. This process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner not one man in a million is able to diagnose." --John Maynard Keynes (as in Keynesian economics, as in the kind of economics that Pres. Obama believes in today. Be sure to watch Fox News Glenn Beck @ 5 pm weekdays. He can help you to understand these important things better.)

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. The government taxes you to get capitol to go into competition with you and then taxes the profits (if any) on your business in order to pay the losses on the 19,000 (+) government businesses. And you thought they just wanted YOU to pay "your ("fair", my addition) share." --Northern Lights Glimmer. Sept. 1983.

"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." --Lord Acton.

Cicero said: "The enemy is within the gates; it is with our own luxury, our own folly, our own criminality that we have to contend."

"Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.
They want rain without thunder and lightening.
They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters.
This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one, or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
Power concedes nothing without a demand.
It never did, and it never will.
Find out just what people will submit to, and you will have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both.
The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." –Frederick Douglas; Aug. 4, 1857.

"'Samuel Rutherford…wrote Lex Rex in 1644. Lex Rex means law is King -- a phrase that was absolutely earthshaking.' It needs to give the earth, including churches in America, another good shaking today! 'Prior to that it had been rex lex, the king is law. In Lex Rex he wrote that the law, and no one else, is king. Therefore, the heads of government are under the law, not a law unto themselves.'" --Francis A. Schaffer. A Christian Manifesto. P. 32.

"Let our object be our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country. And, by the blessing of God, may that country itself become a vast and splendid monument, not of oppression and terror, but of wisdom, of peace and liberty, upon which the world may gaze with adoration forever." --Webster. [And let us never forget who is the Author of life and liberty, namely God our Creator and Savior! (my addition).]

A VISITOR FROM THE PAST

I had a dream the other night, I didn't understand.
A figure walking through the mist, with flintlock in his hand.
His clothes were torn and dirty, as he stood there by the bed,
He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low, he said;

"We fought a revolution, to secure our liberty.
We wrote the Constitution, as a shield from tyranny,
For future generations, this legacy we gave,
In this, the land of the free and the home of the brave."

"The freedom we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep,
But tyrants labored endlessly, while your parents were asleep.
Your freedoms gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave,
In this, the land of the free and the home of the brave."

"You buy permits to travel, and permits to own a gun,
Permits to start a business, or to build a place for one.
On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent,
Although you have no voice in choosing how the money's spent."

"Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate.
Your Christian values can't be taught, according to the state.
You read about the current news, in a regulated press.
You pay a tax you do not owe, to please the I.R.S.."

"Your money is no longer made of silver or of gold,
You trade your wealth for paper, so your life can be controlled,
You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God in shame,
You've taken Satan's number, as you've traded in your name."

"You've given government control to those who do you harm,
So they can padlock churches, and steal the family farm,
And keep our country deep in debt, put men of God in jail,
Harass your fellow countrymen, while corrupted courts prevail."

"Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oath they've sworn.
Your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born.
Your leaders ship artillery and guns to foreign shores,
And send your sons to slaughter, fighting other people's wars."

"Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died?
Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride?
Are there no more values for which you'll fight to save?
Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave?"

"Sons of the republic, arise and take a stand!
Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land!
Preserve our great republic and each God-given right,
And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright!"

As I awoke he vanished, in the mist from which he came.
His words were true; we are not free. We have ourselves to blame.
For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right,
We only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight.
If he stood by your bedside, in a dream while you're asleep,
And wondered what remains of our rights he fought to keep,
What would be your answer, if he called out from the grave?
Is this still the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave?
--Author Unknown.

Dear Fellow Patriots and Readers,
Please feel free to take any of these materials and use them wherever you like. These eternal truths belong to every one of us, and it's high time that we put all of these valuable things to the best possible use, for the enemies of the Republic are very busy today, indeed, tearing down every God-given right. It should be most obvious, now, and so we must get busy about God's good work of freedom in America. If not, we will soon regret our reckless disregard! Let us all pull together for our beloved Constitutional Republic that our godly Founders gave us!

Hi. I'm so glad you stopped by, and I hope that you will stay awhile and check out all of the important information that is available on this blog. There is much here that will offer you many deeper insights into the great Christian faith, and there is also much here that can show you more about our wonderful Christian heritage in our constitutional system of government. This site will take you into other sites where you will also find a virtually endless supply of important information to help you in the very troubled present day of today where we find ourselves. Just avail yourself of the several pages of information, and you will find much of great value and help for today's challenges. And there will be another post very soon, and more to follow, so be sure to bookmark this page in your addresses. --Anita.

"...that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Gettysburgh Address, 1863.
Many Christians today have been listening to preachers with strange doctrines that deliberately lead them away from the preservation of our constitutinal government. They also lead away from the straight and narrow way of Christ.
God also gave us a very precious gift, in America, in our system of self-government that the founders saw in the sacred Scriptures. As Samuel Adams well noted: "The rights of the colonists as Christians...may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institution of the great Law Giver and Head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament." 1772.
Let us quickly apply ourselves to our Christian homework and study to show ourselves approved of God (II Tim. 2:15), for the day is short, and we ought to be about the Lord's business as his good servants and faithful stewards of the many good things that He has given us. God alone knows the time of his return to this earth, but it is our role to watch and work for good, not to promote and encourage evils in any part whatsoever, but to be good soldiers of the cross, pressing onward to victory in Him alone.
"...More than all, a government and a country were to commence, with the very first foundations laid under the divine light of the Christian religion. ...Who would wish that his country's existence had otherwise begun?" "Let us not forget the religious character of our origin." --Daniel Webster, Plymouth, Mass. 1820.
It is my earnest hope and prayer that you will take much of great benefit and profit away with you from this place, and become most richly blessed in the blessed truths so utilized by faithful giants of the faith, in God's grace. Amen.

God's Final Word on National Israel.

2010-08-21T13:35:00.000-07:00

Bible Prophecy and Reality.

Herein are contained Scriptures that Confirm that Israel is No Longer in Any Wise in God's Special Graces or Favor. (God's Final Word Is Contained In The Revelation.)
It is acceptable knowledge that wise people in times past have recognized some important elements that make the way toward peace. One says, "This is the way of peace: Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love" (Peace Pilgrim). Helen Keller said, "I do not want the peace which passeth understanding. I want the understanding which bringeth peace." Matthew Henry states that "Peace is such a precious jewel that I would give anything for it but truth."
From these quotes, it should be apparent that peace is very closely aligned to truth. Without truth, you cannot expect peace. Peace relies on the truth in any situation. Without the truth, chaos follows close behind. In the absence of truth there is lies and every evil thing under the sun!
What follows are some Gospel truths which are indeed sorely neglected in our day. Were we to contemplate anything at all, we ought to set ourselves to contemplating the truth and overcoming the error, or the lie. For truly, the deep contemplation, acceptance, appreciation and application of truth is the most uplifting thing in all the wide universe. Truth is wisdom, and without wisdom we fall. Prov. 3:13-18 says:

"Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
Her ways are the ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her."

So, with these considerations before us, let us move forward into the paths of truth, wisdom, understanding, goodness, and peace.
The following information is a significant and important clarifier re. to whom Rev. 18 actually refers. According to C. I. Scofield's heading for that chapter, it refers to "The last form of apostate Christendom: the warning to God's people." I have a big point of contention with Mr. Scofield, and have had for some time. Here's why! ( Aug. 17, 2010 -- Further Clarification Note: C.I. Scofield popularized these modern views re. future glorious Israel along with a host of other false doctrines in the Scofield Reference Bible which bears his infamous name and his notes and apostate form of thought alongside sacred Scripture. Please further note: The subject matter being dealt with here is historical and biblical fact. It in no wise promotes or supports anti-Semitism against Jews living today. The Jews have just as much right to live as do the Gentiles. But it is a serious error to carry it all a step further that the Word does not at all support nor sanction. The claim that a glorious future awaits the modern state of Israel is a gross error against God's Word, against his truth, and desperately needs to be corrected. I do not believe that God can bless America and assist her survival as long as she continues to support such blatant falsehoods, which are a great iniquity in God's sight. We need to desire to get things right, instead of just following the path of least resistance and the lowest common denominator with the mindless multitude.)
The Book of Revelation contains the following re. God's people killed by the Jews in history:
(Refs. Rev. 10:7, 11:8, 18, 16: 6-7, 17:6, 18:6, 20, 24, 19:2. Note also 2:9 and 3:9.)
One can easily check out these references, so I will only quote one or two here:
Rev. 18:20 -- "'Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!'"
Rev. 18:24 -- "'And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.'"

We see envisioned here in metaphoric language a woman, arrayed in purple and scarlet, etc. (see 17:4. See chs. 17-18). This woman is "drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus" (17:6). She is described as "the harlot" (NKJV), and "that great city which reigns over the kings of earth" (17:18. See also 19:2). In 18:3 she is identified with her fornication, and in 17:5 she is identified as "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." (Note also v. 4)
In 18:4-5 we see God's warning to "'Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.'"
We also see in chs. 17-18 God's disposition of her, and her final end. Ch. 18 ends with the following end of her at vv. 2-24. I quote vv. 20-24 herein:
"'Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!'
Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, 'Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.
The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore.
The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of the bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived.
And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.'"

Her final end was accomplished by Titus' Roman armies, and this is depicted at 17:10-18. It refers to Jerusalem, not Rome or any other earthly city. It is with Jerusalem where all of God's dealings occurred, not Rome.

The whore, harlot, or prostitute is discussed in the Old Testament at Jer. 2:20, 3:1, 6, 9. See all of chs 2 & 3; Eze. chs 16 & 23. Note also 43:7-12; Hos. chs 1, 4, & 5; Mal. 2:11-17. See Concordance for further listings. The terms "abominations","whoredom" and "whoredoms" will likely supply more information. Most of them, again, refer to Israel, or Jerusalem. There is nothing in sacred Scripture that leads us to draw any other conclusions whatsoever.

Other obvious and significant clues about really who the great harlot or prostitute of Revelation actually is are as follows:

Acts 3:13-15: "'The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, and killed the Prince of Life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.'" (See also Acts 2:36). (Peter speaking to the Israelites in apostolic times at the start of the church. Please keep ever in mind that this is past history, and the honest testimony of the apostles.)

Acts 7:51-53: "You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you. Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers, 'who have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it.'"

I Th. 2:14-16: "For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans, who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men, forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost." (Note Lu. 11:52).

Matt. 23:27-38: "'Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.
Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,
And say, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.'
Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers' guilt.
Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the damnation of hell?
Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,
That on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
See! Your house is left to you desolate;'" (Note also Lu. 13:34-35 & Ma. 21:9).
Note also Mt. 24 and Mk. 13:14-37.

From this you should be able to see the close proximity to Rev. 17:3-6, 18, 18:16-24, and 19:2-4, which is striking indeed! For C. I. Scofield to have taken these sacred Scriptures and made them out to be referring to some apostate church far into the future is beyond ridiculous. But this is what he did, and has successfully misled countless numbers of people down through many years, and reeked havoc in the church and in our society! Her final judgment (17:1) and doom is expressed in the symbolic language of chs. 17 and 18. There is simply no honest way to make this material refer to something other than Jerusalem, whose sins reached to heaven (18:5). Sin is sin, but there are degrees, and this degree that is described here is that degree that Jerusalem reached in killing the prophets, apostles, God's holy people, and the very Prince of Life Himself, the Son of God. No matter how much those in the modern church seek to sugar coat it and water down the truth, it surfaces in the pages of Scripture to make liars of all those who do. God's warnings go unheeded today in a thoroughly duped church! And what are some of those warnings? Here they are:

Rev. 18:4-5: "And I heard another voice from heaven saying, 'Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities."

II Cor. 6:14-18: "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
'I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.'
Therefore
'Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the LORD Almighty.

Note also I Cor. 3:16-17, 6:19-20.

Israel's desolation was sure, and ordained by the Lord at the Scriptures quoted above. From the Revelation, chs. 17-18, we are not led to believe in any reversal of that whatsoever. It is God's final word on the matter to all men, and they share in her plagues if they refuse to take God at his Word, but instead follow men like C. I. Scofield. The modern state of Israel may exist today as a Jewish homeland, but it has no merit whatsoever as having a future under God's special favor and blessing, outside of Christ and faith in Him. That hasn't happened, for the Jews rejected their Messiah, as these still do today, and God rejected them. God gave the nation 40 years to repent and come to Christ. They did not, and so God had Jerusalem destroyed at the hands of the Roman armies in 70 AD, just as Christ foretold at Matt. 23:38, 24:2, Mk. 13:2. Just as the sacred Scripture says, …the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it" (Matt. 21:43). Yet it is abundantly clear that many in the modern church who seem to love being allied with and yoked together with these unbelievers today are not that new, holy nation, but an imposter. Oh, vain mankind of this apostate day, can you not grasp that it is wrong to leave Jesus to go wandering over to the unbelievers to curry their favor in furtherance of folly and lies? Whatever will it take to warn you of God's wrath to come?

In conclusion, one can easily see that the actual Scripture content does not in any way support Mr. Scofield's conclusion. It is very apparent that he had absolutely no idea about what had happened in Israel, and how it affected their future kingdom aspirations.

"Worship God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus" (Rev. 19:10 NLT).

This is where the church needs to apply herself, not to unbelievers who have no interest in Christ whatsoever! The church needs to be busy about Christ's work on earth. To make up a fable about the modern state of "Israel" is far removed from any legitimate work of Christ on the earth, and to disseminate and support such a strange and unproven thing is an unholy work. You have an obligation to adhere to Scripture truth, not to unproven theories and fabrications!

To those who believe on Jesus, Peter says: "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy" (I Pet. 2:9-10). If we walk as the children of light, we walk circumspectly, honoring Christ. This is the church's real calling. Have we really become Christian soldiers of Jesus' cross?

This is God's final word on the issue of any glorious kingdom in Israel. This fleshly dream is but an empty phantom, a mirage, that has no sound basis in fact, and no legitimate grounds for existing. Those who insist on giving their support and comfort to the enemies of Christ and his Gospel of his Good News need to learn the difference between right and wrong. They need to apply themselves to God's truth and stop blindly following such men of questionable credentials and reputation. It is in no wise a good thing to set one's heart so totally upon such adverse material that creates calamity (Prov. 17:5) in the world that Christ died for. Christ never set this world up for calamity, but men have. It has everlasting consequences that reach far beyond this world. (See Isa. 5:20; I Pet. 2:16; III Jo. 11). For Christians are not constrained to "put on the whole armor of God" for nothing (Ro. 13:12, Eph. 6:11-13). Yet how many Christians today understand what this means, nor even how it might be accomplished. And so big chinks in the Christian's suit of armor are missing today, and we see it riddled with rust and corruption. Besides, they have turned from Jesus' light back toward the darkness. (See Mt. 6:23; Lu. 11:34-35; Jo. 3:19, 8:12, 12:35, 46; Acts 26:18; Rom. 13:12; II Cor. 6:14; Eph 5:11; I Pet. 2:9; II Pet. 2:4; I Jo. 1:6, 2:11). For instead of the pure claim of Christ and Christianity, they now prefer to title themselves Judeo-Christians. They pride themselves on assuming that Christianity cannot stand alone and apart on its own merits in Christ, it seems, but must now lean on Judaism to prop it up in all of its weak places. This is just what can be expected to happen when the church leaves its rightful Lord and Master, and instead seeks out seducing spirits (I Tim. 4:1).
It now prides itself on its tolerance for evil, and boasts also that it is no widow, just as ancient Israel did (Rev. 18). It considers not that it has forsaken its one love, who is Christ, and gone chasing after the unbelievers who care nothing about Christ, but who only desire their own earthly kingdom and glory. It prides itself on being better than others, while never caring to seek out true knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. It busies itself running all around in its endless chase after rituals in meetings and conferences where a few mere crumbs of truth are scattered hither and yon around the banquet hall which should be lavishly spread with platters of strong, vitalizing meat (Heb. 5:12).
It strives to sustain itself with mere droppings of crumbs on the floor, and ignores the beneficent and sumptuous feast spread on the table. It eats with the dogs on the floor, ever crawling further and further away from the Lord and Savior who set them up instead with the plenty that remains untouched on the table. It languishes in a state of semi-starvation, poverty, and nakedness.
This is the perfect picture of today's ignorant church, as it lies in wait for the final death blow from secular humanism and militant Islam. It does not see its own imperiled condition, and so does not anticipate the calamity and demise that are about to descend on it. Instead, through its high sounding words and fables it woos the unwary into the same house of doom. It desires no release from its dungeon halls and unbearable yoke of bondage (Acts 15:9-21; Col. 2:14-23), for it idolizes it. To it there can never be any higher calling than this. It feeds upon misery and death, while at the same time denying it. It sees afar a sumptuous plenty in a land far away, but it cannot discern the direction of it. It denies the instructions in the straight and narrow way (Mt. 7:14; Prov. 4:26-27) of the Master and landowner. It hobbles all about in its tattered armor, while a well suited coat hangs in yonder straight gateway. It loves to cling to its bedraggled outfit. It does not trust the Master of the land to supply much better provision, and so it ever remains a pauper.
Thus it is in modern Christendom. Modern Christians need to stop indulging in such gross idolatry (See II Cor. 6:16), which profits nothing. Only the truth will make them free (Jo. 8:32), if that really matters to them. It mattered to me, and I found my answer in Christ.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following subject refers to Romans 11:26:"And so all Israel will be saved…"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Subject at hand is Romans 11, but the great Apostle is discussing Israel in this matter of her not complying with God and the mystery that has ensued as a result of it in three chapters (9-11), so we must address these if we would progress in the real truth with Paul. Here is my brief outline of the points that Paul raises in this matter.

Romans Chapter Nine.
1-5. Paul's expression of his deep regrets over his "brethren", his "countrymen according to the flesh" (v. 3).
6-8. Paul's answer, or the reason why this untoward situation. Here, he gives the reason for their lack of a positive response to Christ. They are not all Israel who are of (national) Israel (v. 6). There are unbelievers mixed into national Israel. The seed of faith is in Isaac (v.7), who are "of the promise".
(v.8). Those who are of "the children of the flesh, ..are not the children of God". It is only the believers who are truly of Israel, the children of the promise, in Isaac, in belief, are of God. The rest, in unbelief, are not of God. The rest, in unbelief, are not a part of the promise.
9-16. The unfolding of the story of Jacob and Esau, and how that fits into God's tool of "election" (vv. 11-16).
17-23. The further revealing of God's election, and how it works. God "has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens" (v. 18).
24-33. The bringing in of the Gentiles. And these Gentiles He will call his people, "who were not my people" (v. 25-26). He also mentions here that "'Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, The remnant will be saved" (v. 27). In other words, not the whole nation shall be saved, but only a "remnant", the elect, established previously. This is not national Israel, but the "elect" out of the nation. For Israel "pursued righteousness by the works of the law"(v. 32), and not by the righteousness of faith" (v. 30). Israel after the flesh pursues the works of the law, but the remnant pursues Christ, the righteousness of faith. The "remnant" become part of the Israel of God.

Romans Chapter Ten.
1-11. Israel's misplaced zeal, "not according to knowledge" (v. 2). They have missed the righteousness of Christ by faith, and have sought to please God by the works of the law.
12. No longer any distinction between Jew and Gentile. The wall separating the two groups is now removed by Christ.
13-20. The answer is in Christ.
21. "But to Israel he (Isaiah, v. 20) says: 'All day long I have stretched out My hands To a disobedient and contrary people.'" This is God's conclusion re. Israel, now based on its conduct toward Christ.

Romans Chapter Eleven.
1-5. What about his people being "cast away" (v. 1)? Paul answers, clarifying that His people, whom He foreknew (v. 2), the "remnant according to the election of grace" (v. 5) have not been cast away. Again, not all of national Israel is called of God in the "election of grace", but a "remnant" (10:27) is called.
6. No longer of works, but of grace. God's elect are saved by grace, not by works.
7-11. The elect and the lost of Israel.
12-16. The nation is cast away, but the believing branches (v. 16) will be "accepted" (v. 15). The acceptance of some of the Israelites is "but life from the dead" (v. 15) or from the nation that was cut off in its unbelief. It still has time to come into belief. On their being cast away, and the term of their acceptance.
17-18. The Gentiles must not boast against the Jews, because they too can still be of God's elect, and can be grafted back into the wild olive tree (v. 17).
19-24. If the Jews believe and continue not in unbelief, they will be grafted back in (v. 23). "Because of unbelief they were broken off" (v. 20), "And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again" (v. 23). Any Jews who come to Christ are grafted back in. The unbelievers remain cut off.
25-36. The Deliverer came out of Zion, as per Is. 27:9,59:20, 21, (v. 26).
Thus "all Israel", that is the believing remnant already discussed, which is the elect Israel of God (Gal. 6:14-16) are saved by their belief in Christ. All true believers have now become the Israel of God, not the unbelievers. The unbelievers are not saved, neither Jew nor Gentile, but believers only. The Gentiles need to be humble, not proud that they are accepted and the Jews are not. They all rest on God, and his mercy. God is able to bring the elect Jews back into his fold. They then become part of God's new nation, the new Israel of God, not of unbelievers, but of believers (See Ro. 8:14-18; Gal. 6:14-16, Eph. 1:4-5, 13-15; I Pet. 2:9-10).
Passage to the Gentiles was allowed through Israel's blindness, until their fullness came in. God gave the nation 40 years of grace to repent and come to belief, and thereby all Israel would be saved (v. 26). This never happened, and so the nation was judged and destroyed in 70 AD by Titus' Roman armies. God gave the nation the option of returning to Him in faith, but it refused, and thus it was abolished. This is an important fact of history. The siege and carnage of Jerusalem was a horrific blood bath indeed, but the believers fled to the mountains, as the Scriptures warned them to do (Mt. 24:16), and they were all saved. Josephus, the Jewish historian, documented all of it. Thus ended national Israel as a part of God's favored nation in the world. All that remained and still remains to this day are the elect ones who are called to faith by God. Jew and Gentile status ended, and all must come to Christ for salvation. There is no other way. "Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (II Cor.6:2). There is no other time but today!
Paul's "brethren" and "countrymen according to the flesh" (9:3), are no more. They are long gone from the picture. Also, many Jews today are imports from Russia, known as Khazar Jews that have now gone in to populate the new nation that calls itself "Israel". These comprise not the Israel of God, however, by any means. Men established it, and absolutely no word came down from God to ordain it on anything from Himself whatsoever. Nobody can rightfully claim today's Israel, which is in name only, as God's genuine article. These Jews can call themselves by whatever name they choose, and have chosen, but it is a very far stretch from the Israel that Paul spoke about over 1900 years ago. It takes far more than just choosing a name and calling oneself by it to actually make something genuine. God has had nothing to do with its ways and its doings. It entirely lacks what God gave to the old Israel of thousands of years ago to declare it his own special possession out of all nations of the earth. All of that is gone, because the nation continued in its disobedience, and all of these modern fantasy dreams are an insult to God.
Similarly, "the sacrifice and the oblation" of Daniel 9:27 ended finally with Jerusalem's 70 AD destruction. Again, there is no such thing in existence today, nor ever shall be. Christ put an end to it with his sacrifice of Himself. And that end is final. To move it all forward 2000 years and beyond is ludicrous indeed! It is also wicked! It shows a total disconnect from reality! It demonstrates great disobedience. It is entirely a make-believe world, a hoax and a sham, but some folks love the lie over the truth. The Scriptures warn against those who love and make lies (Rev. 22:15). These folks really need to start paying attention to what the Scriptures are actually saying, instead of holding near and dear the contortions and the outright lies that have arisen over the last 200 years. They need to gladly do a far deeper study of God's Word than they have. But first, they need to become willing to do so, and to honor Christ instead of the lies and fictions of men.

Clarification and new covenant.
Attention: Update alert.
These are solely theological postings. They are intended to support Scripture truth and reveal error. They are not intended to attack any group of people, but reveal error in current theological practice. If men get caught in the crossfire of theological discussion, then let them come into the light of Christ's truth and be saved. They are perfectly free and welcome to come to Christ and follow his new covenant if they so choose to do so.
We are admonished in the new covenant to "Believe in the light, that you may become the sons of light" (Jo. 12:36). Jesus is that light, and He commands us to abide in Him (Jo. 15:4-10). These are the commands that we are supposed to follow, and they are not grievous (I Jo. 5:3). We are not ordered to follow any other commands of men which run counter to Christ and his new covenant.
The new covenant, and its significance and importance, shouldn't elude us. We cannot have the practices of the old and the new all thrown in together, for the old covenant Christ cancelled long ago (II Cor. 3:11; Heb. 10:4-10), and the new is everlasting (Heb. 13:20-21). The old is obsolete (Heb. 8:13), and Paul calls it "rubbish" (Phil. 3:8-9), and its observances are worthless (Gal. 4:10; Col. 2:16-17). The old law system leads to death (II Cor. 3:7-15) and those who follow after it are cursed (Gal. 3:10, 13. Note also II Cor. 16:22) and fallen away from God's grace in Christ (Gal. 5:4). Things that are stated in the old covenant gain clarification, or validation, if any, in the information contained in the new covenant. It is the new covenant that establishes all of the protective boundaries or perimeters, and, again, it is everlasting (Heb. 13:20-21). These boundaries are being grossly violated today in the church. The new covenant supersedes all that came before and is in every way superior to all that the old contained, and which we are never told to return to and support in any way. The new covenant goes quite beyond the natural man and the fleshly realm of this earth, and directs us instead into that spiritual realm of splendor in Christ. Indeed, to find Christ's new covenant and be honored to enter into it at long last is to enter into new life on the most sublime scale. Christ and his new covenant are the supreme golden thread that ties all of sacred Scripture to the wondrous works of God Himself, and have little, if anything, to do with the inferior desires of men's hearts for earthly kingdoms, etc., apart from Him and his plan of the ages in Jesus Christ. In other words, it is Christ and his new covenant which has established where his kingdom is and who it includes.
Some claim a third temple stated in Ezekiel, instead of the second temple that followed the Babylonian captivity, which the book of Ezekiel deals with. But the new covenant informs us that "God does not dwell in temples made with hands" (Acts 17:24. Note also Heb. 9:1-17). God is far too great and glorious for such a miniscule abode as that, and it seems like pretty petty thinking to place Christ in such a bind as that for a future thousand years to have to "reign and rule" on the earth, literally, from a manmade temple in the earthly city of Jerusalem. Even to keep Him in one earthly city for very long is not facing the full reality of God, the Creator of heaven and earth, and not acknowledging Him for who He really is. But this is only one example of the small thinking of many mere men today, and their ways of breaking free of any tethers to Christ and his commands, in spite of their claims. Whether it be God the Father or God the Son, He is co-equal, as is the Holy Spirit, and He is glorious far beyond all human measure and understanding.
How much more rational, realistic, and edifying, it is to accept his reign and rule in the present time through the Holy Spirit's power (See II Cor. 3:3, 17, 18, 10:2-5; Heb. 10:14-18) instead of waiting for a "postponed kingdom" fantasy that has no proof nor substance whatsoever to sustain it, and was lifted from Dan. 9:24-27 and which clearly refers to Christ's coming over 2000 years ago. Since it is biblical fact that Christ made "all things new" (See II Cor. 5:17), it is certainly not inconceivable that Christ reigns and rules by "a new and living way" (Heb. 10:20). Is our faith so small that we cannot see beyond this earthly dimension into the higher sphere of "things unseen" (Ro. 1:20 & Col. 1:16-17), or must we continue to be so fleshly oriented as to literally imagine Christ sitting in a manmade temple in earthly Jerusalem on a manmade throne in order to rule and reign in the affairs of men, or in order to accomplish whatever it is that you in your spiritual incapacity feel He left unaccomplished when He came to earth 2000 years ago? Certainly such a picture seriously limits one's concept of the Savior, and how vast his accomplishments throughout the world and the universe! His new covenant does not so speak of limiting Him, his abilities and his sphere of influence and power, but instead speaks endless volumes of praise for his great power, majesty, love, and sacrifice. You cannot carefully read the New Testament without being struck by the magnitude of his glory and his power expressed therein. He indeed already rules and reigns in the hearts of those who truly love Him and are "the called according to his purpose" (Rom. 8:28). He reigns in the affairs of men and nations, whether they care to admit it or not, and is sovereign ruler over his entire creation. It is the blind condition of the natural man that is unable to see his reign and rule in the present time (blinded by Satan, II Cor. 4:3-4; spiritual blindness, Jo. 9:35-41 & 15:23).
There are so many good and glorious things revealed in the new covenant, but they are spiritually discerned (Ro. 8:5-9; I Cor. 2:14). With the spirit you must "Believe in the light, that you may become the sons of light" (Jo. 12:36). Else wise, there is no light in you (Jo. 11:10). But if your eye be pure (Lu. 11:34-35), then you see these things that are far removed from the darkness that you left behind. The veil of darkness is removed from the heart (II Cor. 3:12-18), and one beholds the new order of things that Christ already established. The natural man cannot see them, and so he remains in the natural world and supports some other earthly kingdom than Christ's kingdom, which "is not of this world" (Jo. 18:36), as He clearly stated. To behold that new order of things that God established in Christ, unfettered by human lies for the first time, is wondrous and breathtaking. It is a very special moment that changes one for all time.
The Bible speaks of the natural man and the spiritual man, and the two classes are entirely different. The natural man seeks his earthly kingdom and temple, even if he must violate all of straight biblical hermeneutics to achieve it in his own fleshly oriented mind. The spiritual man just follows along with the Holy Spirit and lets it take him into that kingdom of Christ's I mentioned above that "is not of this world" (Jo. 18:36), but heavenly. He is the man who has been taken out of this world by Christ (Jo. 17:14-18). Instead of looking for a "continuing city" here on earth (see He. 13:12-15) the true believer is taken onward to the heavenly kingdom above with his Savior and Lord. The new covenant makes it possible for the true Christian to so go onward with Jesus. This is extremely important, and well worth paying close attention to.
It is in just such things as this that the new covenant is far more expansive and glorious than the old (II Cor. 3:8-9). An earthly temple made with human hands is not at all necessary and is offensive to God, according to the new covenant. It is but worthless, manmade rubbish! For God has provided something far greater. The new covenant far more sufficiently satisfies both the Jew and the Gentile. Christ tore down the middle wall separating the two groups, and made them equal (Eph. 2:19-22. Note also Acts 15:9, Romans 10:12 and Eph. 3;10-15.). It is this kind of seriously flawed theology that has built it back up again, in the futuristic school, or premillenialism, and anti-Semitism right along with it. But the new covenant supersedes all of the old Judaistic law system, Christ having fulfilled all of the law and all of its requirements for his elect people. The natural man cannot understand this and so does not receive these things of God (I Cor. 2:4-16, 15:44-58. See also Jo. 3:6, 31, 6:63, 8:15 & Gal 4:29), and therefore attacks it and any who are in it.
And still the fact remains, that Christ has "the words of eternal life" (Jo. 6:68). There is a broad difference between flesh and blood versus God (Mt. 16:17) and his ways. The natural man would seek to reinstate these obsolete things torn down (Gal.2:18-21. See Acts 21), and return to "Israel after the flesh" (I Cor. 10:18). The children of the flesh are not the children of God (Ro. 9:8). The new man in Christ, reborn from on high, sees instead the new Israel of God (Gal. 6:14-16). There is a world of difference between the two.
For the natural man is of the earth, and seeks to build up his concept of an earthly kingdom, while all the while ignoring Christ who stated that his kingdom is not of this world. The natural man willfully steps outside of the protective perimeters that Christ established in his new covenant and fabricates some earthly kingdom at any and all cost. The spiritual man receives the things of Christ, and discerns the things of the Spirit (Ro. 2:28-29, 8:1-8, 12:2; Phil. 3:3-4; Jo. 4:23-24; I Cor. 2:13-14; Eph. 1:15-17; Col 1:9), which he discovers in the new covenant. Then he needs no such nonsense and lies, for now his experience with Christ is complete.
The natural man would attack the very foundations of the Christian faith to create a gospel far different from the one that Christ once delivered to the saints (Jude 3), but in the end he will pay the ultimate price for his folly. His very soul is in mortal peril. Even though he claims Christ, He does not continue on with Him in his new covenant, but chooses a different way (See Prov. 4:26-27; Mt. 7:14; Jo. 10:1-6) to seek to satisfy his own heart's fleshly desire. Whatever way he chooses outside of the boundary of the new covenant is of the natural or carnal man, and it leads to death. He professes to know God, but in works he denies Him (Heb. 6:1; 9:14; Titus 1;16). "Many are called, but few are chosen" (Mt. 22:14). But those who are his chosen ones have a higher calling (Ro. 8:28), the mark of the high calling of God in Christ (Phil. 3:14). It is our individual obligation and responsibility to pursue the straight and narrow course in Christ (Mt. 7:14; Prov. 4:26-27), instead of turning back around to the worthless things that He destroyed, and that they should also have destroyed by their coming to Him. By their fruits (works) they are known (Prov. 20:11; Mt. 7:16-20, 12:33; Lu. 6:44-45), and they would do far better in Christ to cast off the works of darkness (Ro. 13:12), which are dead works (Heb. 6:1, 9:14; Titus 1:16), and enter into the richest and most sublime covenant and relationship of all of time and forever in the new covenant of Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord. There is no need at all today to enter into that "yoke of bondage" (Acts 15:9-21) which the Israelites could not bear, in the old, but there is a glaring and obvious need to enter into the yoke of Christ, whose "yoke is easy, and my burden is light"(Mt. 11:28-30; I Jo. 5:3).
Settling on becoming a slave to unbelievers is a departure from the straight way of God. Yet this is exactly where today's church has placed itself, instead of remaining in service to Christ. Instead it serves the desires of modern Israel to reinstate the temple and its Judaistic animal sacrifices. It sends lobbyists to Washington to lobby it for millions of U. S. taxpayer dollars very day (currently around 7 million $'s per day). And so has America become the slave of unbelieving Israel at the behest of modern apostate Christendom.

Modern day literalness--
"A thousand years" (Rev. 20) -- Careful and serious Bible scholars have always considered this phrase to be a symbolic period of time denoting these last days which began about 2000 years ago. Oft-used figurative language, which this obviously is, the Scriptures use to denote a hidden truth. In this case, it is intended to convey an indefinite period of time of which only God knows the real length. It is not intended to be taken literally, just as the bread and the wine of the communion observance are not to be taken literally as the actual body and blood of Christ. These things are symbolic, along with many other things given symbolic language throughout Scripture.
What this amounts to is tampering and tinkering with God's truth on a massive scale, and it is most unwise. It is indecent and disrespectful of God and what Christ did on Calvary's cross. And it has dire and far reaching consequences. It is a huge rip off by people who may not see themselves as thieves, but who actually are. They rob the church of its God-given birthright and blessings under King Jesus and his new covenant. Indeed they have licentiously stolen from the Christian faith.
When professing Christians support unbelievers under false pretext, then they themselves are no true believers. They become the worst kinds of transgressors, and the most dangerous. Indeed they show no care whatsoever for the overwhelming preponderance of Scripture which does not support their nefarious claims. They are transgressors who only care about making their unfounded and unproven points based on their mindset of literalness wherever it meets their needs only. If they can jam it through and somehow make it fit what they want it to achieve at all cost to the truth, then this is all that actually matters to them. It is upon this kind of a shaky foundation that people today seek to achieve peace in our day. It is not realistic. It is foolishness, not wisdom.
For years many heads have been hid in the sand. We who have been American patriots all of our lives, and who love and appreciate the magnificent work that our Christian founders did in America against tyrants, or what has been known as "the divine right of kings" mentality to often work their depraved will against the victimized people under their "rule" are not at all deceived about what may soon be coming upon the earth. Yet we are not well received in modern apostate Christendom. In the communistic new world order, modern apostate Christians are about to learn first-hand and too late what they have bought into by their ignorance and neglect. A very misguided and duped "Christian" populace will begin to realize that the "divine" kind of rule that they favored and expected with the claimed soon return of King Jesus will instead feel the iron fisted rule of the despot, along with the stinging failure and loss of our great Christian oriented Constitution, with its mandate of limited government power, and rule by law (instead of by kings who make up their own depraved laws) to hold evil men in government in check. Such disengaged "Christians" were led by the enemy to believe that it was not worth defending. To them, neglect has become the hallmark of their lifestyle.
Many of us have been gravely concerned about what was happening in the fundamentalist evangelical churches of today, as moderns have essentially gone to church to eat and play, and never even once give a serious thought to the consequences of their irresponsible behavior. Yet God and his truth are still real. To continue forward in our most holy faith is by far most blessed. Let all come who thirst, and drink long and deep "of the water of life freely, without charge" (Luke 22:30; Rev. 22:17). We must never shortchange our faith and our calling in Christ because of a few bad apples in the fold. I am most grateful to my Lord, now, to have found the comfort of his new covenant and his love in his Word. Abounding peace and joy await all who find his truth. For years I lived a frightening nightmare scenario, as the Christians turned away from every truth and just went on with their reckless disregard and dreams. They won't be playing and laughing much longer, for hard truths are now on their very doorstep. As Daniel Webster said back in our country's earlier days: "Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world."
Shame on the duped American Christians who love to take their ease in these "churches" of today while hell encroaches on their country! What will they ever say on that great judgment day when Christ does return to set up his great white throne judgment seat? Undoubtedly, except they repent, and rapidly change their ways, they will have very much to regret and be sorry for, then, but it will be too little too late!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today just about everything is turned upside down, and wrong is now right, and right is now labeled as wrong. Darkness is now established as new light. It is a most deplorable impasse. Indeed what can the righteous do? Well, they must stand in the gap and support the truth.

Anita Whalley is the author of a great book on Christ and his new covenant that is available at Amazon.com. The title of it is There Is A Kingdom.
This book and this information desperately needs to get out there today! I worked very hard to make it available, but people just don't seem to care. I live in poverty, as the book has not sold. Nor can I support heavy advertising costs. Yet other authors who support the lie, men like Hal Lindsey and Tim LeHaye, are doing just great.
We will never have God's favor and blessing as long as we continue to just blindly follow the misinterpretations and lies of today, and let them go unchecked. It is time to start facing up to full reality. Everything is at stake here! We need to turn back to God and his truths. He has given us so very much in Christ. Why would anyone want to turn his back on such a wonderful Savior who has given so much that we might enjoy life more abundantly in Him?
Let us cast off the works of darkness (Ro. 13:12. See also Eph 5:11; Heb. 6:1, 9:14; Titus 1:16), and let us walk in newness of life (Ro. 6:4). These things are what the Gospel of Jesus Christ is all about, not in any wise a reinstatement of earthly or national Israel. Such an idea has no sound scriptural merit whatsoever. The church must address itself to Christ and his new covenant. It is only in these precious matters that God can bless America, for in these truths did Christ die and rise from the dead, for our sakes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For those who are searching for more of important Christian truths, they might be interested in checking out the following very helpful books:
The Westminster Confession of Faith for Study Classes, by G. I. Williamson, and The Shorter Catechism for Study Classes, Volumes 1 and 2 (Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Co.). Even though we have no churches to enjoy fellowshipping in with those of like precious faith, we still can have great fellowship of his truths. These will help us to become strong. God bless you all! --Anita Whalley.

The Life That Counts

The life that counts must toil and fight;
Must hate the wrong and love the right,
Must stand for truth, by day, by night—
This is the life that counts.

The life that counts must aim to rise
Above the earth to sunlit skies;
Must fix its gaze on Paradise—
This is the life that counts.

The life that counts must helpful be;
The cares and needs of others see;
Must seek the slaves of sin to free—
This is the life that counts.

The life that counts is linked with God;
And turns not from the cross—the rod;
But walks with joy where Jesus trod—
This is the life that counts. –Anonymous.

Be Strong

Be strong!
We are not here to play, to dream, to drift;
We have hard work to do and loads to lift;
Shun not the struggle—face it, 'tis God's gift.

Be strong!
Say not, "The days are evil. Who's to blame?"
And fold the hands and acquiesce—oh, shame!
Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God's name.

Be strong!
It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong,
How hard the battle goes, the day how long;
Faint not—fight on! Tomorrow comes the song.

Re. Book Titles mentionned.

2010-05-16T10:14:00.000-07:00

The books Last Days Madness and There Is A Kingdom are also both available on amazon.com. Second-hand copies are available at great savings.
Another book available at Amazon, I think, is Gary D. Long's book CONTEXT, Evangelical Views on the Millenium Examined, which is a pretty thorough study of different schools of thought on the Millennium. I would recommend it as a really good reference book on eschatology generally. If you want to study more of biblical hermeneutics, then I strongly recommend this book.

Last Days Madness.

2010-03-18T12:18:00.000-07:00

Indeed, madness seems to have ovetaken modern-day Christendom. Last Days Madness, by Gary DeMar, is a wonderful book that I cannot recommend strongly enough for every modern Christian to read. It is available at American Vision's website (http://www.americanvision.org/ ). You can download it in PDF or order the book there. Just do the search there if it does not come up immediately, and you will find it. It only costs a few dollars to download it, and it is money very well spent! In fact, I don't know of any more worthwhile way to spend some money today! I also recommend my own book There Is A Kingdom, available at Amazon.com. Both of these books tell it like nothing else does out there, and they contain very desperately needed information that sets the record straight and shines great light today into a world that seems to love darkness more than light.

Lest we need reminding...

2010-03-18T11:25:00.000-07:00

More Scriptures come to mind re. my last post, in fact a lot more can be said on this important subject of Christians, who are supposed to be God's own holy people, forming their alliances today with unbelieving Jews. The Scriptures clearly warn us at II Cor. 6:14-17:
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing: and I will receive you, And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."
How strange today it is how those who claim to belong to Christ pride themselves on forming their alliance with the Jews who reject and hate the dear Savior still. Should it be any wonder that the world is now at war over these issues, really? How greatly American "Christians", or those who claim Christ as their very own Savior, find no problem in bonding themselves to antichrist, or Christ rejecters and haters. But the Scriptures also say that by their works are they known (James 2:14-19) over and above all that they claim for themselves! Indeed the blood of many today is on their hands, for they misrepresent the faith of Christ and make a mockery and a laughing-stock of it to all of the watching world. It is this, far more than any other thing on earth today, that has disrupted peace in the world and led it to the very verge of all out war. It is they who claim false things about the Christian faith that are not supportable from the Bible. It is they who divide Christendom all over again! How much they need to look to themselves and examine themselves to determine just what it really is that they represent, whether it indeed be Christ, or Belial!

Re. Those Who Do Not Love Jesus Christ.

2010-03-01T11:08:00.000-08:00

Revelation 3:17-19 -- "Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent."
I Cor. 16:22 -- "If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, that person is cursed."
Question? Where are the real priorities of those modern "Christians" who favor and support those unbelievers in the modern state of Israel who do not love the Lord Jesus, but who favor rebellion against faith in Him, and who indeed hate Him and reject Him still, along with real Christians who do truly love Jesus Christ the Lord? Can they not discern today that their alliances of Christians with Jews who do not love Jesus is a great evil in God's sight?
The Sacred Scriptures teach this central, basic Christian principle, but the modern fundamentalists reject it in favor of unyielding support for these unbelievers who reject Christ. Instead, they support the unproven and contradictory theories of men, claiming them as Scripture truth over such clear Scripture passages as I Cor. 16:22, etc. This is why the modern "church" is full of darkness and not light. It embraces humanist lies in place of God's truths. Nor is there much hope of it ever repenting, as the qualification for true sonship is in Rev. 3:17-19. It is Ichabod, indeed!
Just answer the question! When God's rules are being so grossly violated, there remains no further grounds for debate. What unwritten rule do you think gives you such bold license to commit such blatant violation of the Christian faith and instead turn away to do the bidding of unbelievers and those who hate Jesus Christ? Just answer the question, respectfully, if you would be so kind and decent to do so! That is the very least that you can do! The very least!

Great News! The good folks at We The People Foundation and We the People Congress now have the Articles of Freedom up and running. Here is a positive action plan of all of us American Patriots to run with. Go now to www.articlesoffreedom.us and get involved, for God and country. This is just a very important newsflash for those of you who come here to assist in keeping abreast of what's happening. Fight the good fight of the faith of Jesus, and God bless us everyone!

Just want to let you know that my latest article, The Way to God, is now published on ezinearticles.com. In this article, the subject of antichrist is addressed, and a number of other pertinent issues. In the new and everlasting covenant of Jesus Christ is the high way of God. It is especially designed by God to place us on higher ground. In the grasp of the new covenant we enter God's place of higher awareness. It is there that we find our true home with God.
It is also there that the Holy Spirit of God constantly abides and fellowships with us, instructing us on godly behavior. The Christian faith is not a list of do's and don't's. It is a living relationship with our living Lord who shows us his own ways, and leads us along his own paths of righteousness as we are regenerated from within by his own hand.

The most special insights and helps come from God, and they come in the special way that God has designed for us to receive them and to benefit the most from them. John H. Groberg said: "We should always pray for help, but we should always listen for inspiration and impression to proceed in ways different from those we may have thought of." Don't give up on God. Even though we are in a great time of darkness today, God still has his own special plan to take us through, if we are only willing to go and follow his good way in his dear Son, our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. He has given us all good things in Christ and in his blessed Covenant. But first we must listen carefully and intently in the direction where He leads us, and has led us. Then the doors open to us that take us into his special place of extreme and bounteous blessings. It is so very true that He is the way, the truth, and the life (Jo. 14:6).

Please be sure to check out the other entries on this blog, esp. for the month of October. And have you checked out There Is A Kingdom yet? If not, what are you waiting for? You will never find a richer storehouse of blessings than this book opens up for you. All you need to do is just listen, and the still small voice of God will lead you to seek and find. And you will find God's rich and profound redemption as given to us in his New Covenant, direct from God to you and me. Truly a remarkable spiritual breakthrough to provide you with the many good things that God will let you have, when he takes you by the hand and leads you into his secret place that you never knew existed, or was there, not so far away at all! This amazing breakthrough book is available on Amazon.com.

America is in Very Serious Trouble.

2009-10-27T07:13:00.000-07:00

George Orwell said it very well. "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- forever." This is what America has now come down to, as we face a future with Marxist-Communist-loving leaders who can't wait to march us all into that totally depraved life style of the new world order. Indeed, animals on a farm might have it better than humanity if our current leaders hold full sway, as they will, it seems, since you refuse to wake up!
Americans, and especially American "Christians", have failed to do their homework in the sacred Scriptures, and in our Constitution, but now, one set of Scriptures will become indellibly imprinted on their minds, and they need to pay full attention, for the day of reckoning is close at hand. It is just as Rev. David Meyers stated in the opening of his November Newsletter at http://www.lasttrumpetministry.org/
The Lord says: "I called to you often, but you didn't come. I reached out to you, but you paid no attention. You ignored my advice and rejected the correction I offered. So I will laugh when you are in trouble! I will mock you when disaster overtakes you--when calamity overcomes you like a storm, when you are engulfed by trouble, and when anguish and distress overwhelm you.
I will not answer when they cry for help. Even though they anxiously search for me, they will not find me. For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the Lord. They rejected my advice and paid no attention when I corrected them. That is why they must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way. They must experience the full terror of the path they have chosen. For they are simpletons who turn away from me--to death. They are fools, and their own complacency will destroy them. But all who listen to me will live in peace and safety, unafraid of harm" (Prov. 1:24-33. NLT See also 3:21-26).
If you are truly concerned, you would do well to check out Glenn Beck's program on Fox News Channel on cable. It airs at 5:00 pm et weekdays. Also repeats of program are available at 2:00 am and 3:00 and 9:00 pm on Saturdays. Glenn is an excellent teacher, and very enjoyable as well, so be sure to check him out if you love this great country!

An Examination of Daniel's Prophecy by H. C. Heffren

2009-10-02T12:02:00.000-07:00

The enclosed valuable treatise is reproduced for the benefit of all concerned Christians whose primary desire and goal is the finding of God and his real truths as established in his holy,inspired Word. May it offer each Christ-honoring Christian new spiritual breakthroughs as the Word of truth penetrates our darkness and sheds God's heavenly light into the darkest recesses of our being. And always keep in mind, the pen is mightier than the sword. --Anita.
An Examination of
Daniel's Prophecy
H. C. Heffren
"SEVENTY WEEKS ARE DETERMINED…"
--Daniel 9:27
The prophecy that is about to engage our attention is found at Daniel 9:24-27. Although our readers may have pondered it many times, sometimes with perplexity and frustration, basically its message is not difficult. We have to admit that it has been the source of conflicting opinions and interpretations, still it is part of God's Word and therefore we should search for the message it seeks to convey. This will be both rewarding and enlightening.
The passage reads as follows: "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and the prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, 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: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 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. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even unto the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."
Although this passage of Scripture has presented a great variety of opinions and different interpretations among theologians and scholars, there are basically only two major irreconcilable dissimilarities. On the one hand, there are those who accept the prophecy as totally fulfilled. These are often called Amillenialists, but a more appropriate designation would be Scriptural Millenialists, since they regard the Kingdom of God which was inaugurated by Christ as the Scriptural fulfillment of the promises made to the fathers in the Old Testament. The Dispensationalists on the contrary, claim that Daniel's 70th week is in the future, and will begin when the so-called Rapture takes place. In order to do this, they have originated what is called the Postponement Theory, which means that the first sixty-nine weeks of Daniel happened on schedule, but the Seventieth Week was postponed or put in abeyance indefinitely. The Church Age, according to them, is called "The Great Parenthesis", according to H. A. Ironside and many others.
H. A. Ironside portrays the prophets as men standing on the prairie, gazing at the distant mountains. They see the first range of mountains, and dimly see the more distant peaks, but they do not see the intervening valleys that separate them. This, says Dr. Ironside, is like the prophets who saw the First Coming of Christ, and also the Second Coming, but they did not see the Church Age that intervened (The Great Parenthesis, p. 12). What Mr. Ironside fails to reveal is that the prophets were not telling just what they saw, as men standing on the prairie, but as we read in 2 Peter 1:21, "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." In view of the fact that the Bible was divinely inspired, any suggestion that the prophets were less than 100% accurate in their predictions reflects on the Holy Ghost, the Inspirer.
It is in that connection that the interpretation of the Dispensationalists is violently and diametrically at variance with the Word of God. For instance, in Ironside's book (The Great Parenthesis, page 23), he tells of the prophecy of Daniel, then adds, "The fact is, they were not fulfilled." But Jesus said, "These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning Me" (Lu. 24:44-53). Although we have only made one quotation, we can add scores of others. Whose word has authority, Ironside and Dispensationalism, or Christ? Christ said He fulfilled ALL that the prophets had written. Ironside said He didn't. This is serious and needs to be thoroughly investigated.
Now on p. 23 of this book by Ironside, I quote: "The fact is, they were not fulfilled. Israel did not recognize their Messiah. They do not know Him yet as their Sin-Bearer. Their transgression has not been finished. An end to sins for them has not been made. They do not know anything yet of atonement for iniquity." There is a Scriptural answer to each of the above assertions. The Jews "finished" their transgression when they crucified Christ. That was their crowning offense. The enormity of the crime of condemning Christ to death on the cross cannot be exceeded, and therefore it "finished" their transgression. Ironside says, "They do not know anything yet of atonement for iniquity." The Bible says, "He came to his own but his own received him not. 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." Atonement for all mankind has been made, and when we believe it , that is what makes us sons of God. Those who reject Him, neglect Him or refuse Him, are still among those "who receive Him not; but the Atonement or death of Christ for us was made for whosoever believes, John 3:16.
Ironside continues, "The Seventieth Week has been postponed by God Himself…the moment Messiah died on the cross the prophetic clock stopped. There has not been one tick on that clock for nineteen centuries. It will not begin to go again until the entire present age has come to an end, and Israel will once more be taken up by God." There are a few questions that ought to be asked here. Where does the Scripture say unambiguously that God postponed the Seventieth Week? What clock was God using that stopped? What has Israel got to do to start the clock ticking again?
A lot of these questions appear senseless, but they are based on Dispensational claims. They say that God postponed the Seventieth Week. The various meanings in Roget's Thesaurus state that postpone means: to delay, defer, procrastinate, suspend, waive, table, shelve, reserve, etc. According to Deut. 22:18, God does not permit any of these interpretations to accompany a prophecy He has determined. If God has anything to do with it, it must be executed on time or we can deem it false. God did give the Covenant He promised in the Seventieth Week of Daniel according to His infallible Word. Dispensationalism rejects this and says, "Another covenant with the Antichrist is required to fulfill their interpretation of the prophecy." Who is right?
Dispensationalists anchor their entire system of interpretation on what they call the Postponement Theory. According to Webster, a theory is an unproved assumption, or a hypothesis accepted for the sake of argument. This meaning is amplified elsewhere to include a surmise, supposition, conjecture, speculation or proposal. Neither "postponement" nor "theory" have anything authoritative to rest upon. In the last analysis, it amounts to a shrewd guess. John Walvoord, in his book called The Millennial Kingdom, p. 227, admits this weakness as follows: "While the most literal interpretation of the first sixty-nine weeks is thus afforded a literal fulfillment, nothing can be found in history that affords a literal fulfillment of the last seven, or the Seventieth Week (italics mine). It has been taken by many that this indicated a postponement of the fulfillment of the last seven years of the prophecy to the future preceding the second advent. If so, (italics mine), a parenthesis of time involving the whole present age is indicated." The issue is simple. Either we accept the statement of H.A. Ironside, "The fact is, they (i. e. the prophecies of Dan. 9:24-27) were not fulfilled;" or we accept Christ's statement that "all was fulfilled" (Luke 24:44). Either we build our theology on Walvoord's dispensational unproved hypothesis or we build on "Thus saith the Lord." There is no other alternative.
Let us examine the first statement, Walvoord says, "While the most literal interpretation of the first 69 weeks is thus afforded a literal fulfillment…" Please note that the first 69 weeks only measured a period of time, viz., 483 years until the baptism of Christ, or, as Daniel says, "until Messiah the Prince" or the Anointed. The opening words of Jesus when He began His ministry were, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed Me…" (Luke 4:18a). The first 69 weeks literally described the return of the Jews from Babylon and the rebuilding of Jerusalem during the first seven weeks. The remaining 62 weeks is only a space of time until the 70th week. Everything in the prophecy hinged on the specific and detailed fulfillment of the 70th week. 7 + 62 + 1 = 70.
Dispensationalism falls into a very embarrassing and fatal trap at this point. John Walvoord writes in The Return of the Lord, p. 49, "For the purpose of the present study…we must assume the inspiration of Scripture and the validity of infallibility of its revelation…" Elsewhere, the same writer goes on record in favor of the inerrancy, infallibility and the inspiration of the Scriptures. On p. 124 of The Millennial Kingdom, he states, 'Premillenialism is based on the infallibility of the Scriptures." Infallibility means "incapable of error, that which is certain, reliable, decisive, conclusive, unerring, to be depended on, trustworthy." It is unimpeachable. It is faithful, constant, precise and authentic.
Now notice how Dispensationalism discounts the infallible Word of God. God's infallible Word says, "Seventy Weeks are determined." That is God's decree. But because Dispensational doctrine finds, "nothing in history that provides a literal fulfillment of the Seventieth Week, therefore it dictates a postponement." At this point, they exchange God's infallible Word that is inspired by the Holy Ghost for man's unproved assumption. Notice that they do not even offer a Scriptural authority for their postponement, for there is none. They simply say, "If so, a parenthesis…is indicated." That is the biggest IF in Dispensationalism, where they discard God's infallible Word in favor of man's conjecture and supposition. Dispensationalism is built on supposition. If they are wrong and God's Word is right, their entire citadel of error crashes.
In Ironside's book, The Great Parenthesis, p. 25, quote: "Strange is it that many have supposed it was the Prince Messiah Himself who was to confirm a covenant for one week. But when did He ever make such a covenant? The blood of the covenant which He shed upon the cross is not to confirm a covenant for seven years, but it is the blood of the everlasting covenant." It is interesting to note here, that Dispensationalists do admit that there was a covenant ratified by Christ during the Seventieth Week. But they, and the Jews, reject this covenant, although it was "everlasting," as the fulfillment of Dan. 9:24-27. Again they substitute their interpretation for God's infallible Word.
We shall illustrate this point by a further quotation from The Millenial Kingdom, p. 133: "Daniel's seventy weeks are subject to literal interpretation even though the interval between the sixty-ninth and the seventieth week is only hinted at by Daniel himself." Dr. Walvoord does not explain where this supremely important postponement was "only hinted at." Nor does he explain how the infallible Bible could be confronted with such an embarrassing error as flagrant as the postponement of the entire Old Testament to some future age. To maintain this delusion, Dispensationalism has resorted to some very serious and questionable allegations. For instance, on p. 228 of The Millenial Kingdom, we read, "This very fact confused (italics mine) even the prophets." In his book, The Return of the Lord, p. 41, the same author says, "As the time of His ascension into heaven drew near, the disciples were somewhat confused…they did not understand (italics mine) that the Kingdom would follow the Second Coming…" Mr. Walvoord does not enlighten us as to how he arrived at his clear understanding that all the prophets and apostles were confused in their understanding of the Bible, especially since the Holy Ghost inspired their utterances. To be confused means that they were perplexed, bewildered, tangled or at cross-purposes. It is a rather serious assessment to make against those who were chosen to be the vehicles of God's infallible truth. Dispensationalism is bankrupt of any Scriptural authority to support the Postponement Theory, an unproved hypothetical assumption.
The Bible says, "Seventy weeks are determined" (Dan. 9:24). Commenting on this Bible passage in the Scofield Reference Bible, p. 915, Dr. Scofield says, "Prophetic time is invariably so near as to give full warning, so indeterminate as to give no satisfaction (italics mine) to mere curiosity." First of all, notice that where the Bible says "determined," Scofield says "prophetic time is invariably indeterminate." The prophetic time to which Dr. Scofield refers is now more than 1900 years overdue, so it cannot be classified as near enough to give any warning. The Bible says, "Seventy weeks are determined." Scofield says in his notes on the same page in the Bible, "Prophetic time is invariably indeterminate." Let us see if it is invariably indeterminate. Christ was to be buried and rise again on the third day. Was there anything indeterminate about his rising? Could He have risen any other day and still fulfill the prophecy? Joseph prophesied of seven years of famine. Was the time to be regarded as invariably indeterminate? Jeremiah prophesied of seventy years of captivity in Babylon. What if that did not happen on schedule? If the seventieth year had happened several hundreds of years later, would that have fulfilled the prophecy?
God keeps His appointments meticulously on schedule. A break or postponement does not make a future fulfillment possible. It is a flagrant error. Jesus said, "If I do not the works of My Father, believe Me not" (John 10:37). Dispensationalism is wrecked on this rock, for it is decisive. Daniel prophesied by the Holy Ghost and no man can tamper with what Deity has ordained. Jesus further said, "For the works which the Father hath given Me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of Me, that the Father hath sent Me." (John 5:36b). God's standard of the veracity of prophecy is: "When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not [no postponement possible], nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken; but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him" (Deut. 18:22). "The Scripture cannot be broken" (John 19:35).
Let us ask, what does Dispensationalism expect to happen during Daniel's Seventieth Week? Their current literature assures us there will first of all be a secret Rapture, when the believers will be caught up for a seven-year excursion in the air. There will be the manifestation of Antichrist, and his covenant with the Jews which he will break in the middle of the week. There will be the Great Tribulation and the Millenium. Unfortunately for them, none of these speculations can be found in Dan. 9:24. There is no reference to re-establishing the Jewish nation or economy mentioned. What the inspired writer and prophet did plainly say is as follows: "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 shall be determined…and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate" (Daniel 9:26-27b). What Daniel wrote about was the "consummation" of Jewry, not its exaltation and eventual restoration.
On p. 136 of The Millennial Kingdom, Dr. Walvoord states, "The doctrine of Israel remains one of the central features of premillenialism." We would like to point out that "Israel" is not a doctrine. Israel is a "history" as far as the Bible is concerned. Whether doctrine or history, it is not central in the Bible. Christ is the central theme of the Word of God and He is the One Whom God has exalted. If Israel is central in premillenialism, we must remember that Christ is central in the Kingdom of God and in the Bible.
On p. 227 of The Millennial Kingdom, we read, "While Dispensationalists have regarded as a parenthesis unexpected and without specific prediction in the Old Testament…" On the contrary, Peter says, "To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His Name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins" (Acts 10:43). Surely that is specific and it includes all.
We repeat the following two quotations because we wish to answer them clearly. They are crucial to the issue we are dealing with, and therefore, require special attention. H. A. Ironside says in The Great Parenthesis, p. 25, "Strange is it that many have supposed it was the Prince Messiah Himself who was to confirm a covenant for one week. But when did He ever make such a covenant? The blood of the covenant which He shed on the cross is not to confirm a covenant for seven years, but it is the blood of the everlasting covenant." To this we add from Dr. John Walvoord in The Millennial Kingdom, p. 227, as follows: "Nothing can be found in history that provides a literal fulfillment of the last seven years, or the Seventieth Week. It has been taken by many that this indicates a postponement of the fulfillment of the last seven years…"
First of all, let us do a little mathematics. The Bible says, "Seventy weeks are determined." This period is composed of seven weeks (sevens) during which the city of Jerusalem is restored. Then a period of 434 years (62 weeks) elapses until the baptism of Christ. The baptism of Christ is established because He is referred to as Messiah, the Prince; in other words, the Anointed One. There remained but one week, the seventieth, during which the ministry of Christ is executed, and during which He is cut off in the midst of the week. It is generally established that Christ ministered three and one half years before his crucifixion, when He was cut off. The remaining three and one half years of the seventy weeks was the period when the Gospel was proclaimed to the Jews, ending with Peter's divinely guided mission to the house of Cornelius, the first Gentile to embrace salvation (Acts 10). Further, the duration of the Covenant was not limited to one week, but it was ratified during that one week of prophecy. Its duration was endless—the New and Everlasting Covenant.
Next we take the keenest issue with Dr. Walvoord in saying, "Nothing can be found in history that provides a literal fulfillment of the last seven years, or the Seventieth Week." First of all, it should be pointed out that the ministry, death and resurrection of Christ was literal. It is an historical event that actually happened. We repeat that during that period of time, the Jews did "finish" the transgression. Their culminating crime was the rejection of Christ and delivering Him up to be crucified. Christ pointed out to them a long list of prophets and godly men whom they executed, and ended by saying, "Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers" (Matt. 23:32). Christ did make an end of sins. Christ made expiation for sin. Christ did bring everlasting righteousness. The Old Testament lived in prophecy. The New Testament lives in history.
Now if all the things prophesied were fulfilled on schedule, there is no need of wresting the Scriptures and saying unequivocally, "The fact is they were not fulfilled." Dispensational interpretation was most certainly not fulfilled, but God fulfilled all that was prophesied literally and infallibly. It couldn't be otherwise, for God cannot fail. He knows the end from the beginning. "For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been His counselor?" (Rom. 11:34). We just do not accuse God of being delinquent with His promises, and of injecting postponements, interstices, and parentheses of time to justify our interpretation. We accept His terms and His time, and if we seem mistaken, let us remember God has not changed. What God determines, man cannot postpone.
In my book, The Sign of His Coming, I take the following quotation. When Daniel prophesied, "He shall confirm the covenant" (Dan. 9:27), the evidence is very conclusive that he meant the Messiah. Quote: "There are 281 references to "covenant" in the Scriptures listed in Young's Analytical Concordance. Not one of these references in any way suggests the idea of a covenant between the Jews and the Antichrist. There is not a hint anywhere that such a covenant is suggested, intended, proposed or prophesied at any time. Concerning the covenant between the believers and the Messiah, there are many scores of such references" (See Jer. 31:31-33 and Heb. 8:7-13).
Even more convincing, is the testimony supplied by the Hebrew word for covenant, used in the phrase: "He shall confirm the covenant." The Hebrew word is Bereeth. According to the Pulpit Commentaries, Vol 29, p. 275, Bereeth is only used in connection with a Divine Covenant. It is never used to designate a "league" with any other power or force, but is always reserved to describe a covenant between God and man. For that reason, the covenant cannot apply to anyone except the Messiah. It cannot possibly describe a covenant with any future Antichrist, or any political group involving apostate Jews.
The Massoretic Text renders Daniel 9:27 thus: "And one week shall confirm a covenant to many, and in the middle of the week, my sacrifice and offering shall be taken away." The use of the personal pronoun "my" signifies that it was the Mosaic sacrifices and oblations that were meant. God honored and ordained these shadows of good things until the time of Christ's death. That is the only sacrifice that God could call my sacrifice. We see, then, that the death of Christ did inaugurate the New and Everlasting Covenant and that Christ did confirm that covenant at Calvary during his earthly ministry. When Christ died, the old Mosaic sacrifices ceased to have any further efficacious value, for the way to God was opened by a new and living way when the veil was Divinely torn asunder, Heb. 10:20.
Perhaps there is no better place to end this treatise than with the words found in Heb. 13:20, 21: "Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to Whom be glory forever and ever. Amen." In other words, God's Word is infallible. That which God determines, He fulfills—on schedule! Prophecy is not based on any Dispensational unproved assumptions. The God Who knows the end from the beginning, tolerates no such thing as a postponement theory. He does everything according to His own determinate will, Acts 2:23.

Christ, the One True Source of Real Revival

2009-07-08T06:49:00.000-07:00

Many precious hearts are still aching today, July 8, 2009, because of the loss of a special icon, Michael Jackson, the king of pop. It has been quite a phenomenon to watch the last few days unfold since his death. And for the Christian, we can't help wishing that he might somehow be in heaven with the Master, rejoicing and singing his praises, around his throne of grace. But we just don't know, and this is the most difficult part of a special someone's passing on from this life.
God has centered everything in his own dear Son, our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. He is the only one who is indeed the greatest star of all time, and throughout all of eternity. So each and every one of us must seek him and find him, and hold him close in our hearts like nobody else. For to know him is to love him with one's entire being. For to us who know him so intimately and specially, "He is like the light of the morning, like the sunrise bursting forth in a cloudless sky, like the refreshing rains that bring forth tender grass from the earth" (II Sam. 23:4).
There is always much talk of revival. But we must find the way to it before it can ever be realized. For if such a wonderful event would ever be realized, then the way of it must be sought at the very one and only foundation, who is Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord. When all of the human errors and fabrications are put to rest, and Christ's Spirit's power is finally allowed to take center stage, when his power is released in the truth that makes us free (Jo. 8:32), only then will we experience great revival in this world, that perhaps the world has never before known. I'm sure that would be a wonderful day that would make straight the pathway to the King (Lu. 3:4-6) for hurting and aching hearts everywhere!
This is the task that the church needs to attend to today, to become the true light in the world, so that all might come to know him and his wondrous power. Only then will joy replace earthly sorrow, and a happy new day dawn on the earth with the one true King of glory leading songs of praise to his dear name, on earth and in heaven.
The Scripture verses following this latest post, dated July 6, 2009, I believe can lead the way to great revival of faith on earth. They lead us away from all of "the weak and beggarly elements"(Gal. 4:9) that separate us from the love and power of God in our lives. They have the power to lead us into the throne room of the great Shepherd and King of all kings! It is my earnest prayer that many would pay close attention to such an important matter as this is while they still remain on earth to do so. Our salvation is before us today, and there is no other future day whereby we can be saved. For only Christ can heal the broken-hearted, and set the captives free. This is what Michael Jackson needed, and what everyone needs to release us from earthly cares and troubles. Michael is over there, now, already in eternity. But we are still here, and we must make our lives shine with the light of Jesus so that the great light and love of God in Christ will shine out brightly and bring many troubled hearts into his kingdom on high.

Quick Breakthrough Scripture References for Foundational Christian Doctrine

2009-07-06T09:35:00.000-07:00

Dear Fellow Christians and Patriots:
Greetings!
Enclosed you will find one of the most important lists of Scripture references you have ever seen in your life. It supports the new covenant of our Savior and Lord Jesus. It also negates "Judeo-Christian Zionism", premillenialism, dispensationalism, and all other earthly kingdom fables, heresies, and mentalities! It is most essential and critical information for anyone concerned over what has gone wrong in Christianity today, and the neutralizing factors at work to sabotage it and to take it over for unchristian interests nationwide and worldwide. Please feel free to use it to the greatest advantage wherever you can to show others his great way and light.
Essentially, modern Christianity has been hijacked by nefarious earthly interests whose goal it is to destroy it and to destroy American freedom, all at the same time! It is well along the way to completion! But it can be stopped cold if enough people are alerted and take real action today. There is no time to lose, and time is short!
Come on, Christian soldiers and do your part to fulfill your obligations to Christ and to our beloved America! It is a very sad day when Christ's new covenant needs to be so defended. It was not so 250 years ago. How far we have slipped into apostasy today! We squander our greatness, our integrity, our future, and our valuable resources of treasure and human lives to support depraved myths and fables. Yet how straight and true is Christ's new covenant that establishes our feet upon his higher course. It is his new testament credential of highest and unequalled excellence that brings us all of his far better things, in this world and in the next. It should be self-evident where we need to take our stand today, but to many it is not.

We accept that the old covenant of the Jewish law system, which was but a worldly sanctuary (Heb. 9:1-2), and a temporal tabernacle with external regulations (Heb. 9:23), was cancelled by Christ (Heb. 10:9).
In Christ and his priestly sacrifice you have entered the real Temple in heaven. You are really there in him! This is why Christ made such a vehement point of the destruction of the earthly temple in Jerusalem (Mt. 24:2). He did away with it, finished its limited usefulness forever, and made it completely obsolete! Thus it is an evil work that modern Judeo-Christian Zionists support now, for it goes completely against Christ and his finished work! Christians have no legitimate calling nor business supporting the Jewish aspirations and the erecting of another temple in Jerusalem to replace it, and "they must stop listening to Jewish myths and the commands of people who have turned their backs on the truth" (Titus 1:14, 15-16). For Christ abolished the old (II Cor. 3:11; Eph. 2:15; Heb. 8:13, 10:9), and replaced it with the far greater and more perfect new (Heb. 9:12). Anyone who disobeys God in this will fall (Heb. 4:11). For earthly Jerusalem is in bondage to Sinai (Gal. 4:24-25), and opposes Christ. We, as Christians, don't go around defending and supporting those who oppose Christ and refuse to believe in him! It is evil to do so, no matter for what strange mythological reason we may feel led to do so! But Jerusalem above is free (Gal. 4:26. Note also Heb. 12:22, 28), and it is these truths of the new covenant that set us free! It is in the new covenant where, by faith, we receive a kingdom which cannot be moved (See II Cor.3:6-18; Gal. 2:16-21, 3:8-29; Heb. 9:15, 10:9-20, 12:24). In all of these wonderful truths and new realities, the Christian is transformed into a new person. New life has begun (II Cor. 5:17; Gal. 3:21), as the Christian is made spiritually whole by the power of the Spirit and the Word.
In these matters the Apostle was most adamant! We are to remain in Christ and in his new covenant, and not return to the old. Only by so doing can we enter the real Temple in heaven. Christ and the apostles left us no room to go after the old things of the old Jewish law system that was an inferior, external, earthly system, under any delusion, assumption or pretext! His new covenant leads the way out of it, and that alone! By failing to obey Christ and follow it, the church is now in a position of gravest and most serious rebellion and error against Christ, his Word, and his Spirit which could easily bring all of western civilization down all around us. Just stop and look all around you. It has already begun!
The heavenly kingdom was good for America and all the world. The earthly one, in earthly Israel, is not at all a good thing for the world, because it violates God's real commands (see I Jo.23-24; II Jo. 9; Heb. 7:15,10:29. See also Mt. 15:8-9; Mk 7:7-9; Jo. 12:48-50; 15:9-11). We have seriously departed from Christ when we follow the Jewish law system, and support it, and we will never find the real Temple that is established on high in the heavenly realms (Heb. 8:1-2,5, 9:11, 23-24) by going that route. The way is blocked when we follow the wrong path!
The new covenant of Jesus Christ is forever. – II Cor. 3:5-17 (esp. v. 11). It is a better covenant (Heb. 8:6-13; 10:9-10), and it moves us forward into new life in Christ (II Cor. 5:17; Heb. 7:22), by faith (Heb. 11:6).
A HEAVENLY CALLING
Christ's Kingdom is not of this world -- Jo. 18:36. It is not in Israel. And it never will be!
His heavenly kingdom he proclaimed as already being near, or at hand 2000 years ago nearly -- Mt. 4:17, Mark 1:15; Lu 4:16-21; Eph. 1:3, 20 & 2:6.
Our calling is heavenward -- (in the heavenly realms) Eph. 1:3. See also v. 20 and 2:6. Phil. 3:14, Col. 1:5, 3:1-4, Heb. 3:1 & 6:19.
The real Temple is in heaven – Heb. 8:5, 9:24.
We are called to his higher calling and purpose -- Ro. 8:28.
We (Christians) are the new people of God – Gal.6:16; Eph. 1:13, 23; Lu. 12:31-32; Jas. 1:17-18. See also Rom. 8:14, 20-30.
Christians are God's own holy people – I Cor. 1:2, 15:2; Gal. 6:16; Eph. 1:4, 14; Jas. 1:17-18. They are God's own true Israel.
We are foreigners and aliens here -- I Pet. 3:11.
God chose us out of the world – Jo. 17:14-18.
He rejected the notion of certain Jews of his day that he came to be a king over Israel (Jo. 6:15). It is still very displeasing to him today!
Today, an astonishing number of Christian people are hung up on the notion of an earthly theocratic kingdom in Israel. Yet, the sacred Scriptures clearly do not support it. They are very clear on the heavenly kingdom, instead, however. It is sad and surprising how easily some men can use pernicious and manipulative words to encourage otherwise intelligent people to buy into earthly oriented theories. It is most unfortunate that these matters which pertain to Christ's new covenant have not been more thoroughly addressed in much of theology. It has created a great void, and abyss for many to fall into. This book There Is A Kingdom addresses this issue. The author, Anita Whalley, knows most personally how difficult it can be to come back to the Scriptures only (sola Scriptura!) with total trust and discover the joy and wonder of Christ and his new covenant that offers so much more of all good things from the hand of a most loving and gracious Lord. She also knows the cessation of the difficulties when once she found Christ's new covenant and entered into it for herself at long last!
This book is available at Amazon.com and is must reading for any who long for God and for his real truths--Real good reading to brighten up a rainy summer, and a lifetime beyond, too!

___________________________________________________________________
CONFUSED VALUES—RIGHT vs. WRONG (Heb.5:9-6:1)
Winds of doctrines – Eph 4:14. Strong delusion – II Th. 2:7-12
The devil's trap; following heresies –Ro. 16:17; Col. 2:4; II Jo. 10-11; III Jo. 11;
Woe..who call evil good, etc. – Isa. 5:20. See also I Pet. 2:16; III Jo. 11.
Rebuilding things torn down (destroyed) – Gal. 2:18-21.
Grieving God's Spirit – Eph. 4:30. Note also Heb. 10:28-29.
Fallen from grace – (Gal. 5:3-4), and frustrating God's grace (Gal. 2:21). We are still under sin's curse when we ignore the new covenant and cling to the old Jewish law system – Gal. 3:10-13. We forfeit God's richest blessings in supporting the way of the old system. But we gain a new sense of spiritual wholeness and wellness in the God-centeredness found in the new covenant!
Christians are supposed to serve God, not men – Mt. 4:10. Today, Christians are serving unbelieving Judaism in Israel. They believe that such darkness and evil are light and good (Isa. 5:20; I Pet. 2:16), because they believe in unbelieving Israel as God's kingdom instead of, or over heaven. They have failed to discern the spirits of error and of apostasy. Indeed, it is an extremely serious shortfall in modern Christendom! How can we even claim to be Christian when we don't hold Christ's words about his real reason for coming to earth to be even equal to those of men today, let alone actually of higher and greater authority? (See the above – Christ's real reason for coming to earth, in his very own words. Hint – It wasn't to establish any earthly kingdom in Israel that supposedly had to be "postponed". Yet America currently sends Israel over $7,000,000.00 a day to support everything Israel believes in, and wants and does!)
Is it really any wonder why we are in such serious trouble today? The church has inadvertently taken the broad path of destruction (Mt. 7:13-14) by failing to heed the entire content and warnings of sacred Scripture. It has been deceived and led astray (I Jo.2:26), and doesn't seem to care!
No favorites with God, re. race or peoples, such as the Jews – Acts 10:34-35.
Believing Jews and Gentiles are now joined together in his church – Eph. 3:10. The rest are lost –I Jo. 5:12.
Israel -- conditional nature of God's covenant with Israel – Jer. 13, Gen. 17:1, 9-14, 23-27, 18:19, 22:1-19, 26:5; Heb. 11:8, 17; Jas. 2:21-22.
Re. the LAND, all was fulfilled – Joshua 21:43-45, 23:14-16; I Ki. 8:56.
Worthless observances – Gal. 4:10; Col. 2:16-17.
It (the law system) was a "yoke of bondage" that the Jews could not bear (Acts 15:9-10; Gal. 5:1). All of these things are termed "useless', and "obsolete" (Heb. 8:6-8 & 13), "worthless" (Phil. 3:11), and thus "abolished" (II Cor. 3:11; Eph. 2:15; Phil. 3:7; Heb. 7:18-19, 8:13 & 10:9-10). Christ's new covenant replaced it forever. Compare all of this to the "yoke" of Christ – Mt. 11:28-30. It is his yoke that contains "good tidings of great joy…" – Lu. 2:10-11. See also Ro. 3:23 & 6:23, and Jo 3:16, etc.
"The old system in the law of Moses was only a shadow of the things to come, not the reality of the good things Christ has done for us" (Heb. 10:1. See also 8:5). He cancels the first covenant in order to establish the second (A better covenant-Heb. 8:6-13). And what God wants is for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all time" (10:9-10). "This is the new, life-giving way that Christ has opened up for us through the sacred curtain, by means of his death for us" (v. 20). So, v. 22, "Let us go right into the presence of God with true hearts fully trusting him."
Christ already made it possible to be in his presence (Heb. 10:21-22). So why on earth would anyone need to call back up the cancelled old covenant and Jewish law system to regain what we already have in Christ? As the truth starts to set in, and our minds start to clear and the light of Christ starts to more fully shine in, we begin to recognize the great scope of the deceit that has been perpetrated on the visible church.
The current misrepresentation of Christ's reason for coming here, to establish a glorious earthly kingdom in Israel is false, and a great offense to God. The Scriptures are very clear re. Christ's real reason for coming to earth. We just need to apply ourselves to his Word of truth and start dealing with what Christ actually gave to us by his coming here. For only by doing this can we ever hope to gain a fuller understanding that gets us on our way heaven bound and heavenward, for the world is passing away (I Jo. 2:17). We finally recognize how we have been robbed of our great inheritance in Christ. He provided this for us, and it is not the right thing to do, to shun this wonderful gift and claim the Scriptures are saying something entirely different. Instead we ought to be continuing in this teaching of Christ, so that we will "have fellowship with both the Father and the Son"(II Jo. 9). No wonder many Christians are so weak today, as they have gone wandering back to Jewish myths and have not seen that the old covenant and Jewish law system is abolished by Christ, nevermore to rise again. For only eternal things remain (Heb. 12:26-27).
Whatsoever things are of good report and beauty, whatever "is true and honorable and right" we are to think on these things! Whatever is "pure, and lovely and admirable, excellent, and worthy of praise", these are the things that we American Christians are supposed to support and think upon (Phil. 4:8)! We have no business whatsoever thinking of and supporting evil rebellion and unbelief against God in Israel. But we do have a most serious business with God and his truths and with our own precious Constitution and all of the other documents of freedom! For without these beautiful things, another time of the dark ages looms dead ahead of us! Time to get busy and be about the Lord's business, America! Can't you understand? Time is no longer on your side!
These are the true foundations of the Christian faith (Ps. 11:3) that have been eroded away by judaistic-centered fables and inventions of the day, thus making the Gospel a weak shadow of what it should be. Henry Haley, in his Bible Handbook, rightly called it apostasy. The idea of a glorious earthly kingdom did not originate with Christ, as the above reveals, for he never came here to establish such a thing at all! These clear Scripture passages above ought to be what defines all the rest of Scripture, instead of the reverse order of things as they are today. Because it is really evil to accept evil and to support it, no matter what the rationale! We are not free to "follow a multitude to do evil" (Exodus 23:2), so isn't it really about time that today's professing Christians start caring enough to do some serious and honest work with God and his holy Word and finally seek to get it right? If not, why not???? And pray tell, how on earth can Christians truly "Occupy" (Luke 19:13) without it? Or without our Constitution which makes it possible to serve Christ? Both are under attack today, even while you rest and take your ease! Yet your allegiance ought not to be to unbelieving Israel, but to God and to our own once Christ honoring country!
"You are not slaves; you are free. But your freedom is not an excuse to do evil. You are free to live as God's slaves" (I Pet.2:16).
"Isaiah had spoken of John when he said, 'He is a voice shouting in the wilderness:"Prepare a pathway for the Lord's coming! Make a straight road for him! Fill in the valleys, and level the mountains and hills! Straighten the curves, and smooth out the rough places! And then all people will see the salvation sent from God"'" (Lu. 3:4-6 NLT).
How badly the church today needs to straighten out the pathway it is following and smooth over the rough places to fulfill its proper role in Christ's Great Commission and really lead a needy world to Christ and his kingdom instead of actually redirecting it back around to itself (or back into the world all over again.)!
Anita Whalley. There Is A Kingdom. http://www.booksurge.com/There-is-a-Kingdom-The-Heavenly/A/1419686798.htm (Ctrl + click). It is high time that this book really began to circulate out there! Do your part and order a copy or several today. It's high time to take an active part and support this good work today. And spread the word! Please! This information is one great way to start, and There Is A Kingdom will take you even further on the magnificent Christian journey that Christ makes available to any who follow his truths. It also includes George B. Fletcher's most excellent and thorough treatment of the fabled two-stage second coming theory, in which the first stage is declared by moderns to be the secret rapture of the church!
I know this is the first time that all this information has come to many of you. For others it is not the first time at all, and massive indifference has won out once again! Surely there are some out there who will follow the call and take a stand for what is right! The battle is everywhere today, and so we must work in every direction to defend what's true! Basic knowledge in the right places is a very big help. This book gives one that basic knowledge so that we don't need to be helpless any longer and cave in to falsehoods. A little preparation saves the day, but apathy digs many graves (see Heb. 6:12)!
The time is now to defend Christ's new covenant out there. If we Christians don't do it, who will? We have the necessary tools available, so, come on, let's do it Christians!
"When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps" (Prov. 16:7-9).
To all of you who faithfully follow Christ's call to defend the real truth, I am most grateful, and I salute you as my fellow laborers in Christ! It is good when we Christians can stand up together for Jesus, as well as for America!
Special note – This is an expanded version of the same material that some of you received earlier. I simply felt that a little more information would likely be most helpful to those who were interested in the truth and desired a little more than the most basic information that it contained. Perhaps in all of your travels you can put either one to good use. Please feel entirely free to do so, and God bless you in all of your faithful endeavors for God and country. --A. Whalley.

A Shining City on a Hill

2009-03-12T09:30:00.000-07:00

As our former President Ronald Reagan said, "America is a shining city on a hill." But yet, I must differ with him on this point, at least a little bit, as much as I hate to. America was once that shining city set on a hill, and this was so good, largely, at least a lot more of the time than it now is, regrettably. Sure we still do a lot of good in the world, but I feel that we also undo the good that we do. And so we must ask ourselves, do we actually break even in all of our efforts today? Let me explain.
I believe that America's goodness was built upon the foundation of a purer theology that adhered more strictly to the guidelines of Scripture fact and content and did not pass beyond that boundary line into the areas of theory and conjecture that we now see so significantly predominating many peoples' minds in the churches of this day. And this was brought to light as a result of the great Protestant Reformation of the 1500's. There was much less room for such indulgences in empty human speculation, invention, and tradition in our earlier days, and as a result more of the pure Gospel light permeated American culture, in its churches, society, and its laws.
I wouldn't say that our nation had total sight, for very little seemed to be pursued in the entire area of our Lord's new covenant in the Protestant Reformation, regrettably, though the Westminster divines had very great intelligence and wisdom, and recognized many wonderful doctrines that shed a broad light for Christ across the land. I will address these later on at some point, but for now my major concern must rest with my Lord's new covenant, for it is so very badly needed., since it has been so greatly neglected. The lack of information about it has caused much mischief, hardship, and even calamity today in our most holy faith, and in the world. When the true doctrines of the faith are ignored and neglected, it follows along that people suffer as a result. Sadly, this is just as true today as at any earlier time of the dark ages. But we have the Scriptures readily available today, so what is our excuse?
There was a time when the church knew of the doctrines of God's grace and adhered to them. In these, one thing we recognized, that all men are sinners, totally depraved, just as the sacred Scriptures explain.
Americans also believed that" all men are created equal, and that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Though sadly, it seems they still saw "through a glass darkly" (I Co. 13:12), and failed most miserably to apply it to everyone, for this would have been the Christian thing to do, and also the decent and lawful thing to do.
One foundational Bible fact that the opening sentence of the Declaration of Independence, referred to above, exemplified in human form is found in Romans 2:11. There we read that "there is no respect of persons with God." All are equal (see also Acts 10:34-35), and all are equally born in sin, and lost, except they come to Christ, who justifies the lost "by faith" in Christ (Ro. 3:28, 5:1), who imputes his righteousness to them. Thus we see the Scriptures declaring the rights of all men. We are all in the same fallen condition, until God's grace enters our lives and redeems us out of our fallen state, and lifts us upward on the first leg of our heavenly journey. It is Christ's Holy Spirit who quickens us to accept God's grace and salvation. Without him none would come if left completely to ourselves. We just don't have it in us to come, for we are all totally depraved, just as the Scriptures teach.
And so also, when it comes to Jew and gentile, Christ tore down the middle wall of partition that separated us. "He abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; and that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: and came and preached peace…" (Eph. 2:14-17).
Here is peace for the Jew among the gentiles, and peace for the black man among the whites. Peace for the Palestinians in the Middle East, and true equality, with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for them also. But we must be very careful here to be sure that this is really being offered to them, and that they are not being treated in something lesser than a first class way, for there are very real signs that this is what is actually happening.
Do American Christians care today? American Christians need to make sure that all people are treated fairly and equally, and not play favorites with only a handful. God has not given us any command at all in Scripture to play favorites, for God does not do so, just as we have seen in the Scriptures above. So, too, Christian doctrine ought to be consistent with these Scripture guidelines, and not contradict them. Christian doctrine should compel believers to be respectful to all peoples on the earth, for Christ died for all. When it claims special favored status for the Jew over the Palestinian, for whatever reason, then it is not following the mandates of Christ's new covenant. Certain modern American Christian ideas, or "doctrine", have espoused an unequal treatment of some who never deserved it, and so America has a very serious problem today at the very core of its belief system.
It is hard to get the attention of a group of people who insist that they are right, even though they are in serious violation of the very foundations of God's wonderful better credential of the new covenant, and our very own wonderful documents of freedom and rights. When all that they care to see is the erroneous idea of glorious earthly kingdom over any of the truer ideas brought forth in Christ's new covenant, then it becomes a really serious problem! When an indigenous people must give way, and maybe even be annihilated in order for another people to reestablish their old cancelled law system and set up their glorious earthly kingdom in place of the heavenly prescribed in sacred Scripture, modern Christianity has run amuck!
All people need mental peace and space to make up their own minds about the things that God has laid before them. They need to hear the Good News of Christ and his Gospel of love and peace. And they need the godly counsel of the straight and narrow way that contains the credential of Christ's new covenant, so that they can grow in his grace and enter into his heavenly Kingdom some day. What they don't need is to be placed theologically on a side rail waiting for the next train to come along to proceed forward into some other earthly destination. There is no benefit in such a message. The beneficial message supreme is in the glorious new covenant that is filled to overflowing with his rich blessings. This alien message is wrought with calamity from start to finish! People don't need an extension of the old covenant, and this is what we have in many of today's churches!
Do American Christians really believe in the opening sentence of our Declaration of Independence, but maybe for just a certain few that they favor, and not for others who stand in the way of what they want and are pushing for? This is the danger of the premillenial mindset. And it is misguided, because it is outside of Christ's new covenant. It is outside the boundary lines that God has set in place to provide for his people, and to keep them safely on the straight and narrow way.
In Heb. 8:13 we read, "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."
The shadows and rules of the old covenant have indeed been cancelled. They have all been replaced by the new covenant. This is extremely important information, and we need to pay closer attention to it than we have in the past, for the new covenant has been seriously neglected. This has created great confusion and problems that would not have been, had the church down through the years been diligent to learn of it and to apply it to the church's teaching. I'm sure the apostles would have agreed, for they diligently labored to impress it on our minds. But we read right over it anyway!
It does not have to be that way any longer. We can see clearly now, if we have the will to.
The way of Christ's new covenant has been laid out for you. I especially wrote my book, There Is A Kingdom, to expedite anyone's progress into the place of God's richest blessings. There one can discover God's new way that is so beneficial and rewarding for any whose hearts are waiting on him for their help. There they will not be disappointed!

Dear God, We Want the Future Right Now!
Today it’s as if much of the modern church has essentially given up on the present. One can almost hear people saying: enough of this already! We don’t need God’s grace in Christ any more, and the Holy Spirit isn’t getting anything done. It’s curtains, right now! So you may just as well bring Christ back to us and get the glorious future earthly kingdom into Israel. But first we want you to come and rapture us away to heaven so we won’t have to hang around here any longer. Chop, chop!
Many such ones today never take any time out to stop and think about much of anything else. If they could bring themselves to go further, they might become aware of God’s real Plan A that has always been in place, but that they never gave any thought to.
God’s Plan A is the far more perfect plan for everyone, and in many ways that they have never been able to recognize or appreciate. Much of the church today would be better served if it would expand its horizons into areas of Scripture that it has given little, if any, real thought to.
It matters not how strongly human desire wants to change or rearrange God’s plans. It will not prevail, because He is the omnipotent Master, and if men do not choose to learn the easy way God has already provided, then they will end up learning the hard way, if they can even do that much. They waste precious time that is available to them, especially now, in some cases where unemployment has them stuck with extra time on their hands. What a perfect time to put to good use reading a really good book that will help them to no end in grappling with the present and the future. So, if you haven’t done so yet, then now is the time. Go to Amazon.com and into the religious, then to the Christian and inspirational books area and type in There Is A Kingdom by Anita Whalley. There you can order the one book that will stimulate your spirit as God’s refreshing breezes with a heavenly scent blow in upon it.

Update to President-elect Obama -- 12/4/08
Here’s what’s very much on my mind, President-elect Obama. I hope that you will be much more receptive to such important issues than President Bush was. We all know what he did, namely his own thing, and very little else! He clearly preferred to ignore many vital bits of important information that could have saved a lot of people an awful lot of trouble and grief! Please don’t do that to us again! I don’t think you will.
I feel a very urgent need to keep this enclosed urgent matter in the forefront of our foreign policy concerns. It regards the Middle East situation, and terrorism. It is most critical information! So please, just save everyone a whole lot of time, energy, frustration, and further calamity and give it the serious attention it surely deserves.
For the last few years many people have been using the term “Judeo-Christian” to represent the Christian faith and its criteria of practice. This is clearly a gross misrepresentation, and it is totally wrong, as the Scriptures clearly confirm.
We must begin realizing that the Christian faith is totally a “Christian” entity--of Christ--and must be recognized as such. Judaism, on the other hand, rejects Christianity, and is in no wise any party with Christ. Christ cancelled Judaism or the Jewish law system forever, with his everlasting sacrifice on Calvary’s cross for the sins of the whole world. For this insightful breakthrough we can turn to such scriptures as Hebrews 10:8-10 where we read:
“Christ said, ‘You did not want animal sacrifices or
grain offerings or animals burned on the altar or other
offerings for sin, nor were you pleased with them’ (though
they are required by the law of Moses). Then he added,
‘Look, I have come to do your will.’ He cancels the first covenant in order to establish the second. And what God
wants is for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the
body of Jesus Christ once for all time.” (NLT. See also KJV and other translations. They all take us to exactly the same place!)
Because of what Christ did for us at Calvary, in cancelling the old covenant, and in tearing down Judaism forever by his own sacrifice of Himself in our place and on our behalf, the Judaism part of the modern term “Judeo-Christian” clearly is a gross misrepresentation of the Christian faith, and it has seriously corrupted it in the eyes of many. Many other scriptures show us this also, as I discuss at greater length in my recent book. In our time, however, the term “Judeo-Christian” seems to have launched us upon a whole new rebuilding of Judaism--the rebuilding of all of the things that Christ tore down (See Galatians 2:18) almost 2000 years ago.
This extremely important insight is what is at the very core and center of our current international crisis with the Islamic world. Nor would it do us any good whatsoever to declare this area of human life off-limits to any consideration of international security and politics. It is the fundamental crux of the entire matter now before us in this security crisis of gargantuan proportions. If we were to just relegate this most important consideration to the untouchable realm of religion without any meaningful consideration of it, our security would continue to be threatened. That would be carrying the separation issue to an absurd extreme, which would be the height of human folly, since all of mankind believes in something in some one religious sense or another. And if we are ever to restore any moral foundation for America’s leadership in this world, then we are obligated to address this serious matter. Else wise we have no moral grounds for serious leadership on earth any longer.
The most helpful thing would be for this nation generally to stop confusing the Christian faith, complicating it needlessly, and combining it with Judaism, because God has made it abundantly clear in the sacred Scriptures that this is unacceptable to Him. And in recent years it has been very instrumental in wreaking havoc in America’s international affairs and security. It has not benefited other nations either.
True diplomacy, if we would have it, must start with this overwhelming reality. In fact God is the real Diplomat, in all that He accomplished 2000 years ago in the work of his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. He sent forth grace, and love, and mercy, into all of this needy world, and now we have ruined it by confusing it and mixing it back up with unbelieving Judaism. We ourselves didn’t do it, but we are blindly following it and those who did do it, and so begins our troubles! We’re in a huge mess over this matter, with militant Islam going after us in their own kind of “holy war”. Religion is indeed at the very heart and soul of this contention with militant Islam, and if we don’t have enough sense to address it, then we have nothing in us of any value at all!
But we can stop it if we can bring ourselves to come into the truth at long last and mean business with the living God who wrote the inspired Scriptures. We don’t have to be the helpless pawns in the devil’s game. God gave us all that we need to succeed and be victorious in Him. But we must get serious with Him!
And also, I would submit to you another important insight. It is simply that the great Christian faith has been around this troubled world for almost 2000 years. It has lifted much of lost humanity, and breathed new life into many lost souls. Even the Arabs know that! And don’t you think that they will indeed begin to sympathize with us in our situation here if and when we finally begin to demonstrate to them that we are not so entirely out-of touch with their thoughts, concerns, and feelings either? If we do our own homework with Christ, then they will undoubtedly gain new respect for us and sympathize with the predicament that we all now face with the modern unbelieving state of Israel. If we continue in our current mindset they will continue to view us as superficial, shallow, and shortsighted professing “Christians” who know or care little about the real Christian faith.
Thus, “holy war” with the western hypocrites! If you are truly wise, President-elect Obama, you will begin in earnest in this one vital area among the many to indeed “today..begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today”, just as you have promised you would do. If you are willing to follow God’s truth, you will make it a much better world than what we now have facing us.

A Living Faith
We see in our nation today so much of an all-inclusivism that does not care to address the content of religious practice. Instead we have reached the dreaded point of a preference of ignorance pertaining to beliefs. It doesn’t matter about the power of false ideas, just as long as one believes in something--anything, really, no matter what, just as long as it is currently non-violent. So an important question must be asked. That is, where is truth in all of this exercise in this all-inclusive dogma that supports just about anything under the sun? Alongside of that one must also ask just how helpful to the individual who is earnestly longing for God’s real truth all of this modern falling away really is! Of what benefit is actual truth when all that modern man seems to want to do is to ignore it and to demean it to a point of irrelevance and bury it in a multitude of new age and new world trivia to prevent it from troubling all of those who would indeed prefer to see God finally dead after all.
Along the dusty, winding trail to this dark point in time, the church has, it now appears, desired to remain aloof from the most powerful and uplifting elements in the faith of Christ. Outside of naming his name as the Savior sent to us from God, it has become apparent that the key to religious practice must generally remain aloof from any in-depth application to Christ’s new covenant. Thus has the stage been set for the return to the darkness from which Christ came to set mankind free.
Instrumental to our arriving at such a low point in history has been the practice of dead ritual alongside of false doctrines in far too many cases. Dead ritual in churches is a pernicious disease that feeds the church like an epidemic when the church chooses another way to God that eschews any intimate relationship with Him. It is the choice of those who choose to come upward in another way, in fact any other convenient way, except the one true way prescribed in sacred Scripture! It feeds upon stage settings and showmanship. It indulges itself in endless works of ritual in many different forms, but that adheres to empty religious practice and human exercises so reminiscent of the scribes and Pharisees of Jesus’ day.
As this has run its complete course, it appears, today, after years of attacks upon the Word and its wonderful liberating truths, we now have arrived at the point wherein we start to notice and even feel our awful spiritual emptiness and deficiency. So in order to feed our hunger we must inject something, even anything, into our empty religion of the day. And so, what else could we possibly care to choose but more empty rituals! And so, in the forms of such observances as the Jewish feast of tabernacles and the Passover observance we strive to find and claim the blessing that eludes us from God today. This is the place of modern fundamentalistic evangelical Christianity today. The most recent claim is that these are God’s feast days and observances, and are not actually a part of the Jewish law system. And yet they did make up a great and significant part of Jewish practice, and still do today. If they are not a part of this, but are of God entirely instead, then God would show his one true light through them. If they were indeed of God and his new covenant, a statement of exception would be forthcoming from the Word, at such places as Col. 2:16. They would be recommended far more than Christ’s new covenant agenda for the church. Instead, however, the New Testament Scriptures at such places as Heb.7:18 and 8:13, Phil. 7:11, and II Co. 3:11 clearly show us the futility and worthlessness of such empty activities. What the modern church hopes to gain from such dark endeavors is what they have indeed been missing out on in their empty and lifeless ritualistic gathering themselves together to usher in the new age of Zionism. In spite of all of the empty claims and rhetoric to further the cause of Christ, they have chosen to ignore the valuable insights of the new, and have now chosen to revert back to the old. And so they prove themselves continually that they themselves are of the devil’s works of darkness.
The power to release the captives (Lu. 4:18) and set them free (Gal. 4:24-25) is not taken into account, while they seek to enslave the church (Gal. 2:4-5) and reestablish it brick by brick upon that “unbearable yoke” (Acts 15:9-10) that the apostle Luke discouraged so vehemently in the infant church. The old way that led to death (II Co. 3:6-9 and Tim. 1:4-7) is what much of the church is all about today! Minds have become closed (Eph. 4:17-18) and so have they regressed back to “the weak and beggarly elements” (Gal. 4:8-10). In claiming not to be works-oriented in their concept of salvation, they become ever more so. Again, they have reverted back to that other foundation that is based on mere human reasoning and logic (Gal. 1:11-12). This is far outside of the realm of grace, but takes them right back into the works of the law and human effort (See Gal. 2:16-21 and 3:1-3). So much of empty religious ritual has taken its toll, and empty religion outside of the actual and true faith of Christ as revealed in his new covenant have masterfully set the stage for the new world order and Zionism’s overcoming of Christianity. (Take a closer look at the back of your dollar bill if you still doubt this!) This is the real program of antichrist--to finish off God’s grace in Jesus Christ. This is Satan’s shining hour--his crowning achievement that paves the way for ever increasing darkness and despair. This is the great fulfillment of empty established religious practice absent God’s real truths.
What has supposed to have been the Good News of God’s grace or unmerited favor (Gal. 2:4-5) in the age now come (Heb. 6:5) has failed to make its mark today as it should have. One primary reason for this is the church’s failure to give due honor to the new covenant. Everything else, it seems, is far more important than paying heed to what should matter the most!
Some today in the church still mention the word “revival”, hoping that somehow it will just materialize out of thin air. This is just merely another part of the modern church’s folly and hypocrisy. There is really only one way for the church today to prove its calling and election in Christ. It must address its own grave shortcomings and indifference to the true will of God on the earth, and become willing to learn and accept the things that matter most that have been eluding it for so long. I think that, should such a thing as this happen, then real revival will come to the world without any other kind of human endeavor and effort whatsoever! The actual power of the Holy Spirit will become manifested as the real truth of the Word appears. Without this, this world will continue into an ever deepening downward spiral into hell!
To learn much more valuable information on this important subject that should rightly matter to every Christian, go to Amazon.com and look up There Is A Kingdom by Anita Whalley in the inspirational books section. This is a great Christian book that is bound to take one into God’s larger place of miracles and heavenly breakthroughs, and bring dead-end “Christianity” to end forevermore.

"Fulness"

2008-10-08T11:19:00.001-07:00

“Fulness”
Sometime soon the people of the world are going to have to start questioning what they are being spoon fed by the establishment, which has its own secret agenda that is separate from God’s agenda in Jesus Christ. Whether it is our own human government that seeks to establish itself separate from the US Constitution and morality, or whether it is churches and seminaries that seek to circumvent the clearest interpretation of the sacred scriptures, it all spells very big trouble on the earth. God is not mocked, and whatever men sew they will indeed also reap. In the case of our very own government structure the founders who drafted our Constitution recognized the things of great and unchanging value. They built a great nation founded upon those principles. The nation today that has strayed so far away from their principles is faltering and dying because it has forsaken them. We see economic collapse today as our government has done business in worthless, inflationary paper from international bankers, and continues now to keep printing up more and more of it to supposedly bail out Wall Street and Main Street. The American people today know nothing of Article 1, Section 10 of the US Constitution and its stipulation against such nefarious practices to enslave the people of America. And seemingly, today, the people do not care to stand in the way of such evils, but fall right into lockstep with whatever plans evil men have for them. They question nothing, and willingly support every evil under the sun!
Likewise, too, we have been given God’s holy Word that is also meant to keep us from straying and from harm. The New Testament is filled to overflowing with Spirit-inspired truths penned by the apostles as God’s creation was led from the old covenant into the new. Thus was manifested to the world God’s great mystery plan of the ages in Christ Jesus! These words from God in his new covenant should have formed the final word from Him to the entire world that the old had forever ended and that the new, everlasting covenant (Heb.13:20) was now firmly established and had great significance for mankind’s best interests and wellbeing. But as things tend to go upon the earth, it wasn’t too long before the many clever words of some men gained far greater influence over men’s minds in various matters and ways. We saw this in various places in the New Testament, as in Paul’s letter to the Galatians, where those in the church there were persuaded to return to circumcision. There are other occasions in church history where men were wooed away from real Christian truth and doctrine, and some remain in place to this very day. But today we must deal with that same subject that the Apostle felt required his serious, undivided attention, for it also is still very much with us today and is creating much trouble and turmoil in many places.
Because men have departed from the knowledge of the new covenant of Jesus Christ many clever and well placed words of clever men have turned many minds off into the wrong direction. This direction supports the return of things back to the old covenant Jewish law system. Some are certainly aware of the most recent news of Israel’s intent to restore the temple and the animal sacrifices to Jerusalem. The temple is now completed off site and can be re-erected at a moment’s notice, so that within three month’s time it will be up and running for all the world to behold and admire once again. Many in modern American Christendom cheer it on with great anticipation, enthusiasm, and excitement. They think that this is all a great part of God’s plan and is very pleasing to Him, and that any Gentile nations that dare to oppose this goal will be harshly judged and called to account for opposing his unbelieving people Israel.
Yet, indeed, it must still be asked why modern Israel should put all of this in place of the Savior sent from God 2000 years ago. We must also keep in mind that the old original state of Israel was judged already and utterly destroyed, just as the Savior said it would be. So also why must moderns who claim Christ today feel that they must now turn completely around and support such antichristian activity in the new replacement state of Israel? Can they not discern right from wrong, for they apparently believe that this wrong activity is right for today? Such wrong is right in their sight, under whatever human pretext and command has been used to twist their thinking from the straight and narrow ways of God in Christ! (Note--in speaking of antichrist here, I would refer the reader to the Scripture definition found in I and II John, where an antichrist person is one who claims that the Christ of God has not already come in the flesh. This, in other words, is an unbeliever, just as the early unbelieving Jews of John’s day were, and so are these latter ones still today.)
What strange spirits of antichrist roam around in our midst today to turn the world back to the Jewish temple and its Jewish system of animal sacrifices! What foolishness now possesses men’s minds to proclaim that God fully supports and endorses such antichrist behavior! No wonder they cannot find his blessing today, but must ever look beyond into their misty world of the future that they now proclaim will be better. But for today they insist that their house divided is somehow acceptable to God, despite its contradiction to Christ’s finished work at Calvary and to his Great Commission. Their agenda deviates from God’s central emphasis on the precious things of the new covenant and takes a complete turn backwards in history. All of this is done to accommodate antichrist unbelief! It grasps nothing of any higher calling or blessing in Christ for our day, but instead places a completely different, counter-Christian agenda above it. All of the contents and the articles of the new covenant are shoved aside so that the things torn down by Christ and the apostles are rebuilt under a false design and pretext (Gal. 2:18). This false design is earthly kingdom over God’s heavenly, just as the unbelieving Jews always hoped and longed for from the very beginning in their misapprehension of God’s truths and ways which are so different from their ways! Today’s half-breed of Christians strive to fulfill this Jewish hope which still rejects any truly spiritual relationship with the risen Savior. And because they align themselves with such earthly values and visions, they too miss out in very great part on the heavenly blessing that Christ fulfills within his chosen people in the new covenant today.
Yet the holy Scriptures still stand supreme in God’s plan. The nation that murdered the servants, the prophets, the apostles, and the holy men of God, and then the Author of life himself (Rom. 11:3; Rev.10:7; 11:18; 17:6; 18:20,24; 19:2; 16:6-7; Acts 3:15) has been destroyed (Rev. 17:16 and chapter 18), and will no longer nor ever again be so accepted, favored, and blessed of God, just as the Revelation states, no matter what foolish men who hold the real truth in derision and unrighteousness may want to proclaim against it today to their own downfall, destruction, and damnation. How they can reconcile their own depraved view of things to the following Scriptures defies all reason, but somehow, in the darkness of their own minds, they concoct their own witches brew of deception for the unwise and the unwary to accept.
The Scriptures tell us that the Jews are of the synagogue of Satan--Rev. 2:9; 3:9. The Scriptures also tell God’s people to come out of her, Babylon the Great, Mother of All Prostitutes and Obscenities in the World who was drunk with the blood of God‘s holy people who were witnesses for Jesus--Rev. 17:3-6; 18:4-6, 24; II Co. 6:17. She, Jerusalem, is termed the great prostitute or harlot--Rev. chs 17-19--just as God called her in numerous places in the Old Testament, when she rejected Him and his holy prophets who were sent to her to warn her of her impending doom if she continued to defy God. God’s people are warned to leave her, lest they be partakers of her sins. The kings of earth wage war against the Lamb--Rev. 17:14 and are not of his kingdom (Rev. 1:6). But God’s servants will worship and serve Him--Rev. 22:3. They will serve Him by standing with Him for the truth in this day today when the truth is not so popular nor politically correct in the minds of such misguided and depraved people who are serving the antichrist so openly and unabashedly today.
The way of truth is not complicated. It is clear and straightforward without all of the intricate twists and turns devised by crooked men today to confuse and to confound the unsuspecting. Those who love God and his truths will follow it and will find Him there in his palatial dining hall where they may forever sup with Him on high.
The rest will follow the “train wreck” strewn everywhere around us today. They will go into perdition, where their worm never dies (Mark 9:44-48). For they refuse to admit that God’s key to the future for the last 2000 years has always been Christ and his new covenant. The inspired sacred Scriptures clearly show us the reality of this in the complete unfolding of the mystery of God’s great plan in Christ. It is firmly established in the Word of truth and on high in his glorious resurrection and reign, and it will always stand. They ignore this at their own eternal peril.
Many today all over the world long for such a clear, holy, and righteous message instead of such horrendous heresies that the modern church steeps herself in today and then spreads abroad for consumption. Truly, the day is perilous, as very few today see any necessity whatsoever to get it right! The majority, it seems, lack such godly calling and discernment. No matter what, to their perverse reasoning, everything else rises over the new covenant guidelines. To them, God’s priority has not been the fulfilling mystery of the new covenant and its having made all things new, but the far more mediocre agenda of antichrist today.

In Him Is Depth of Riches Untold

In Him Is Depth of Riches Untold
In my last installment, dated July 26, 2008, I was led to a discussion of God’s Wondrous Mystique. His mystique, or air of mystery and reverence, I do hope is still around out there somewhere today. Perhaps it still is, in some of the less progressive older Protestant denominations who still cling to such things as the Westminster Confession of Faith, and the Protestant Catechisms, which can still offer to the new kinds of churches in their need today a great amount of the wisdom of the ages from sacred Writ. I still see in these wonderful documents an open inroad into the deeper things of God (see I Co. 2:9-10). Today, however, many hold back from them in slavish fear, so afraid to shake up their more shallow, superficial take and understanding of the Scriptures. I know they don’t want to hear me say this, but it really is true! So many today pride themselves on so very little from the Lord, when so much more is so readily available at hand for want of serious desire. And so, today also, many are hurting and down-in-the-dumps because their hungering spirits have not found sufficient sustenance from on high.
The Scriptures are very emphatic on one thing, namely, that this is not a normal situation. For instead of dearth, the Scriptures, as God’s mouthpiece or council--indeed, his very Word of truth to us, offer us something far greater, and in great and massive abundance. So why are we in poverty still, anxiously awaiting something far greater and more glorious still than we seem to be able to lay hold of for today?
The sacred Word proclaims to us the depth of the riches to be found in Christ (Rom. 11:33). In Him is “joy unspeakable and full of glory” (I Pet. 1:8). We become his own special possession (Eph. 1:14) when we come to Him, if indeed we truly do come, and as children of our high King Jesus we ought to come into such wondrous things bestowed as on the children of highest royalty, on the children of light! So why don’t we?
This is a most serious question for us to ponder today, for it has a specific cause, just as all things do, and the effect is devastating. If there is a paradise, then where is it? Do we just need more supernatural help after we have prayed ourselves into a stupor, perhaps, or some such thing like this that defies our understanding? But one thing remains for us to consider still, and perhaps still again, if we would. We run ourselves ragged with endless rounds of churchgoing, but where are we still where it all counts in the end, in the inner man?
But one monumental thing remains untapped still! We have one other great and deep resource, and we can lay claim upon it at any and all hours, day and night, for want of a little desire and effort on our own part. So much of God’s Word has come under critical analysis of the wrong kind today, and for decades, and this has left us in ever greater desolation. The wise man discerns the problems, and takes appropriate action to correct the error, instead of piling just more and more error on top of it. The Holy Bible is called the Word of truth (II Tim. 2:15). And so, in all of the critical dissecting of it today, we must come back to this one cornerstone, recognizing our human frailty, and go deeper still to find that glorious fulfillment that He promises to all who love Him. To neglect what God has so freely and bounteously bestowed upon us is never an option. We must claim his resources so freely placed at our disposal if we would ever find the way into the glorious deliverance that He has already brought to us. And those resources are more powerful than is the enemy’s power to destroy!
You see, God has not hopelessly complicated the way. Each one of us can find it when we make a small effort out of our great love for Him who bought us with his own precious blood. He does not withhold his rich blessings to any of us who gladly sit at his feet and hear Him out, up close and personal! We have been provided the open door to his heavenly throne room, and we can come boldly there. His holy Word supplies the roadmap. It is contained in his new covenant of grace. It comprises his Gospel, the Good News. It is the Good News of happiness. And it is his miraculous gift for all who truly believe! In this is his great power to heal all of mankind’s present ills that so badly need fixing today.
Our politicians talk a lot about diplomacy today, but lack God’s gift. He is the greatest diplomat of all time! It is now up to real Christians to present Him in all of his love and majesty to a world trembling and about to teeter over the edge of oblivion. If the Christian is a true believer, then he must arise to the occasion now, and take God at his Word, for his talents and efforts are very badly needed. What answer will we give to God if we do not heed the call to spiritual arms and action? Seriously, we are missing the mark of the high calling of God in Jesus Christ (Phil. 3:14) if we continue down the road we have been traveling, little thinking of the importance and great significance of his new covenant. For it supplies that badly needed safety net that prevents us from slipping backward, as we see today, unfortunately.
Yes, backward! Backward we go into the beggarly elements in the Jewish law system of unbelief that Christ did away with completely almost 2000 years ago now. Your American taxpayer dollars in the tens of millions every day supply it with the energy to go to war against Christ, as we have picked our favored few among all the nations of the world today. As God does not do, so do we today! And the church today dreams on as the true Gospel is continually threatened! America desperately needs to wake up, before it is forever too late!
Wake up, sleepy Christian! Come alive for Christ! The hour is long spent, and you need to go to work for the Master, lest it is forever too late for you to do so!
Begin now to gain great light from on high. There Is A Kingdom provides an extremely helpful beginning. Anita Whalley wrote it so that this faltering civilization might have a chance to turn things back around to God, instead of helping build a human temple that sacrifices animals instead as the wave of the future. God already provided his everlasting sacrifice in Jesus, once and for all time, and brought all of that to a final end forever! It’s really time to start paying attention! It is time to stop doing wrong! It is time to get it all together in the right way prescribed in the holy Scriptures! NOW!

God’s Wondrous Mystique

The last session, dated 7/2/08, left us pondering some questions still needing answers, such as when do we come into Christ’s new covenant, what God expects of us, and how we can find his fullness of blessing. My personal opinion, and conclusion sees that we must look even further into God Himself if we are ever to find an adequate answer to such questions. I think that we have to look further into an area that I like to term God’s special mystique.
Now what, do you suppose, do I mean by that? Well I would define this word, in keeping with Miriam Webster’s dictionary, as that air of mystery and reverence that develops around someone, like God, as we come ever closer to Him. It would likely be also as we get to know Him a bit better. One might say that it is his special appeal that He reveals to us through the workings of his new covenant, especially. It is in his new covenant that He really reveals Himself to us in a number of very appealing ways.
It is, of course, in the things that He has done on our behalf therein especially that makes Him our dear Father. In this relationship He bestows on us his overcoming victory that is so completely tied into his dear Son Jesus and all that He did on our behalf, so that we could be reunited to God the Father.
The Father sent the Son to die in the sinner’s place. We read in Romans 5:6-9:
“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” (See also through v. 17.)
If this one great and selfless action does not win us to Him, then we most likely can never be won, and will spend eternity forever without Him. For we cannot belong to Him if we cannot ever love Him enough to come to Him and let Him bear our load of sins as He came to do for us.
The third Person of the Holy Trinity is the Holy Spirit. It is He who works within us to melt our stony, rebellious hearts, to quicken us and give us spiritual life. He must do this on our behalf, for we, in the natural man, have all fallen under Adam, our first parents. And so we are very helpless without God. In us dwells no good thing (Romans 7:18. See all of ch. 7.), nor any righteousness (Rom. 3:10-20).
And so we must come unto Him if we would gain the things that we lack. It is in Him that we are reborn from on high in the spiritual sense, and He gained the victory for us before God the Father. It is in his victory that we gain the victory that so eludes us. It is in Him that we gain eternal life.
This is where we come into the new covenant. It is all of his work on our behalf that brings us there, and none of our own. Thus is the very special mystique and appeal of our great and loving God. What of the other pagan gods of men’s minds would die for the lost creation, and redeem it back unto Himself? No more of endless pain in hellfire for those who love Him. Ah, no. In this is hope! He invites us to linger long upon this, and to savor it as his heavenly breezes lure the starving spirit into the most enchanting and romantic land of his undying love and kind mercy to the lost.
Bethlehem’s child came here to bring us into his life more abundant (Jo. 10:10, Phil. 1:26, Eph 3:20, Titus 3:6), and home to his kingdom on high. It is in this that we can happily linger long in his green pastures, as the sheep of his fold. The sacred Scriptures provide such a recourse, and lead us along the straight and narrow way of his new covenant!. Here is the Gospel essence! Here is the center and core of new life in Christ! Through the auspices of his new covenant He leads us into new life at its very best and most wonderful at no cost to us but at all cost to Him, who in transcendent splendor reaches down to us from heaven’s throne room and bids us come up higher to his fresher, purer place of comfort and rest (Mt. 11:28-29).
This is that golden city set upon Zion’s hill where lost sinners can come and drink deeply of his refreshing waters and never thirst again (Jo. 4:13-15).
It is this mystical quality of this kind and loving God who stoops so far down to rescue perishing men in the desert place of earth. In this is set into motion the grandest mystique that ever a mortal could find on earth! This is not a mere shrine or grotto set up by men as an imitation that they claim as the real thing. It far surpasses any and all of man’s attempts to provide some imitation that can never reach as far as the things of God that the truth of his Word reveal to us. It is paradise found in all of the provision of his great, effusive love that takes us upward “to ride upon the high places of the earth” (Isa. 58:14), and up further still into that heavenly land of magnanimous spaciousness with Him who does nothing in a small way at all!
God had a great plan in sending his dear Son to this sin-darkened earth. We must not shortchange this in any wise, for it is our very lifeline! His new covenant is not something that we have heard much spoken of, and this is our great loss! The world will never realize the full wonder of God’s plan nor feel the great, winning mystique that draws us ever closer to the God that the angels adore without that vital work in the new covenant! And the world will flounder in its misguided directions today if it chooses not to care. For in this one credential the church will come into its own in Christ. And so it must attend to this without further delay, for without it it is defenseless against Satan’s arrows aimed at its very heart today.
There Is A Kingdom, by Anita Whalley has much more on this very vital topic. You need to pick it up and read it today. It is readily available on Amazon.com in the religious and inspirational books division.

In Christ Is Fullness of Blessing

In Christ Is Fullness of Blessing

The way of Christ, it has been said, is the way of the cross. It is a way that not many mere mortals can endure, left all on their own to somehow find that way within themselves. And of course, God knows all about this. Yet there appears such a demand from on high in Scripture to take up your cross, and follow Christ (Mk. 10:21, etc.). So what else can we find in sacred Scripture that would offer us some further guidance and light to lead us along our faltering way to God, wherein the way would become lighter, and easier to bear for those of us who need further reassurance from God in light of such a seemingly impossible demand? Maybe we need further assurance that He really does exist! That is, He needs to prove Himself somehow by some special sign. Can there be such a thing from God, besides all of the externals that we see all around us in creation that should give us confidence in the Creator, God?
The answer is that God knows our disadvantage, our frame, as it were. He does not leave us to such consternation and turmoil, as many men would do in their impatient assessments and projections about Him from the natural realm. And also about us, as we stand looking down upon our own deficiency in the light of such high calling from on high.
He sends us the clearest messages directly from the pages of sacred Writ that fills in the gaps for us when we allow them the opportunity to do so. Yet, what is sacred Writ except another one of those externals that seems not to reach us closely enough to help us?
When we care enough to study to show ourselves approved of God (II Tim. 2:15) as his faithful workmen, the gaps get filled in in such a splendid manner that we discover his miracle bestowed where before there seemed to be nothing there for us. All of a sudden, in a remarkable instant in time, He proves Himself to us in his supernatural Word come down to us from on high. We get our first glimpse of this when we first come to Christ and accept Him as our Savior. But how do we really go further on with Him and gladly take Him as Lord of our life? It is his just right to demand of us his lordship over us, for without Him we would not even exist! He is the God of answers, and so, if He provided to us a Savior, then surely He supplies all of our other needs in Christ (Phil. 4:19). It is Jesus Christ who comes into our lives when we acknowledge our need for Him. With his coming He brings us great relief, gladness, and joy.
And such as this is the great wonder and majesty of God’s works and spell upon the life of the true believer. When we gladly desire to spend time with his Word, He knows our desire for Him, and so He reveals Himself beyond the things of this world. We begin to see how He works in multidimensional ways that we could never before have fathomed. This multidimensional aspect of God’s working comes into great focus in the new covenant that Christ came to give to his lost world. It is uniquely his new covenant that brings us further along the way like nothing else can ever do. It works in keeping with the ministry of his Holy Spirit, and confirms his truths to our own slow hearts and minds. We come quickly into Christ’s covenant when…
Hmmm? Now what is that all about, can you suppose? I hope, in my time of my need that it does not demand more of me than I can handle! Surely God doesn’t expect me to…
How can I find his fullness of blessing?
There Is A Kingdom reveals God’s inside story of his magnificent workings in this very important issue. It is available under the author’s name, Anita Whalley at Amazon.com.

On this, the final official day of mourning the passing of that very dear man and great journalist, Tim Russert, the tears still come as we all remember him with such deep, abiding love that will remain with many of us forever. America is that much the poorer in his passing from us. I often wondered how we would ever manage without him, if we had to, some sad day. I'm not sure how we ever will now. We'll never forget him. We'll love him forever! He spoke for us, and asked the many serious questions that we needed answers for. We will truly miss him, those of us who watch the news a lot, when we can. He was a great man and a great journalist, and it was always a happy event on NBC news coverage to see him pop in to offer his take on important issues of the day. My sympathies and condolences go with all of his family and everyone at NBC news. I'll be thinking of all of you in the days ahead, as you must wend your way through the struggles of doing it all without Tim and all that he enjoyed contributing to each one of our lives every day. He truly helped all of us with his probing questions to get to the truth. And Sundays will not be the same either. He sure was so very lovable, and special! Go with God, Tim, go with God!
On another subject, yet close by to Tim's concerns for America, I'm sure, there is a web site you really do need to visit today, for time is running very short. This Friday is the deadline to sign the Petition For Redress of Grievances at www.GiveMeLiberty.org/revolution. Now that Tim is gone on to his higher calling in eternity, it is up to We The People to press our government for the answers that we seek. Let's follow along, for Tim, and for Luke, and for all the other lovable Americans that we know out there. You will find many great things on that web site, and be sure to sign that Petition TODAY!
Last, but not least, I have an important book out there. It's available on Amazon.com. The title is There Is A Kingdom. The author is me, Anita Whalley. Also pertinent to this book is Gary D. Long's book Context! Evangelical Views on the Millennium Examined. Go there, and you will find more information in my review of Gary's great book.
These are some very important things you need to do really soon, but go today to that website above and join the thousands who have already signed that important petition. I'm sure it will make your day all the brighter. And God bless! Yours in Christ, by his matchless love and grace, Anita Whalley.

There Is A Kingdom
A Christian Book by
Anita Whalley
Available on Amazon.com and affiliates worldwide
Paradise found in
God’s Word. Read it for yourself, and you will see!

But beyond this, wherein lies God's special, secret place of incomparable blessing that speaks to all of our spiritual needs, we also find the way of peace and blessing in our troubled world here below, that is to say, on earth, as it is in heaven, or almost heaven-oriented.

How is this possible, with no seeming end to the suffering and pains of wars that ensued from something so unfamiliar to us? How can we regain our footing, when so much today seems to be sinking sand all around us? What went so very wrong?

So what can make it all right again?

That's the secret of why God is so very wonderful, and well worth getting to know better! Step by step He shows us the way, which is lightsome, and not at all grievous. For He is the God of hope and glory.

You'll love what He has done for you, and you'll want to keep on reading, just to know how He did so very much more than you first realized, and why, and, oh my goodness, just to come to up-close and personal, to feel the touch of His dear Hand in yours at last.

In this day of trouble all around us, we can find the place of clear heavenly light. It's not so far away at all, and within our reach if we really want it! "Wisdom comes only to those who seek it" one wise person once commented, regarding how things really are.

Someone else once said that "Today's gloom may be only a passing cloud veiling the radiance of tomorrow's joys."

Seek out the Master Artist and Creator of everything good, and you will indeed find His very best. There Is A Kingdom will take you there!
