Wild fires, global warming, 9/11, direcho, Net Neutrality repeal

 

The Denver International Airport murals indicate a prophecy of bad omens aimed at America. Those murals have a theme, which shows the old world order killed and a new world order born. In the old world order the adults and parents are removed by a future world war, leaving an abandoned, orphaned young generation that becomes freed from constitutional, familial, Protestant-liberated restraints and social mores. And what remains is a new world ruled by the ancient heathen customs and paganism.

In the mural at the top, the old world is the evil empire, polluting and burning nature, over farming the earth, and killing its wildlife. But, thankfully the pagan spirit bird deity, Quetzalcoatl, is looking over the new order children and promising them that when it is freed, revenge will be had upon the old order world. Nature, as the center of ancient paganism and the new age spiritualism, is under attack by the old world order. The old world system has to go.

Please look closely and objectively at the video shots that come after the DIA mural. A purported wildfire destroyed the communities in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faAuK5T9Tyg. Everything man-made is burned, but the trees and shrubs right next to the houses and vehicles are barely singed. If a tree is burned, it is due to collateral, radiant heat from the vehicle or house next to it. Notice the last video shot with three burn spots on the pavement. There was no vehicle there to burn, but evidently whatever caused the asphalt to be burned was circular in shape and possibly in a seek mode to locate another object to burn. The energy directed at objects appears to have sand blasted the paint off each car, like an electrical current passed through the body of the vehicle. And one video shot shows a white SUV hooked to a wagon. The wagon is torched, but the SUV is barely touched. The energy burned the wagon and not its attached vehicle that was just inches away from it. These heat sources apparently are laser-guided and very accurate.

The vehicles receive such high energy that their aluminum rims melted. The video says that it takes almost 1,200 degrees to melt aluminum, and half of that much heat to burn trees. Yet, the charred remains of vehicles are surrounded by healthy trees with all their green leaves.

After seeing this footage, what should a thinking American conclude regarding all the western wildfires of late? They must be man-made. They are caused by high tech machines. I used to believe, and even had heard, that the wildfires were caused from arson. And here and there, some camper or hunter was charged with causing the fires that damaged thousands of acres of woods and homes. But, now this video came out in October and the scales have come off of my eyes. Protestant America is under attack. By whom? Russia? China? ISIS? North Korea? The sharia Muslims? I don't believe so.

Could direct energy from land, air, or space have caused the strange Direcho storm that traveled from south of Chicago to Washington in a perfect, unnatural, straight line for a thousand miles? Could have a satellite from Star Wars have been programmed to run a beam of storm-generating high energy across the land, causing a sudden storm of high wind bursts all along the path between the two big cities.

Could whistle-blowing videos like the video above be one among many reasons that Net Neutrality was repealed? The powerful ISPs will remove these videos from YouTube and replace them with comedies and sleep-inducing, nicer videos.

"Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time." (Rev. 12:12).

"And they worshipped the dragon [the devil] which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?" (Rev. 13:4).

No more Net Neutrality spells end of free speech

I have a lot of black friends, who I love very much. I am not black; I am Caucasian. But I say this to preempt any thinking that I am a white supremacist or a black supremacist. And I also say this to preempt any prejudice against the following video that I believe gives the clearest exposé on the repeal of net neutrality. I have yet to hear a better explanation.

The following video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfMNon_VIKw, is a purely secular (slightly vulgar, yet intelligently spoken) explanation, but it parallels what Revelation has been warning our last days world. I would add to the author of this video in the way of the four angels’ messages. The white supremacist elitists who hate the American customers are not Americans; they are the Jesuits and their secret brother and sister societies who hate the Protestant United States Constitution of freedom. All that Adventist watchmen on the walls of Zion and the great plethora of secular watchmen have put out to the planet over the past 20 years, warnings which have stood in the way of the Abomination of Desolation standing in the holy place of humanity’s hearts, must end its world domination and give way to the coming “Son of perdition” (2Thess. 2:3), “the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition ” (Rev. 17:11). “The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the dearth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. ” (Rev. 17:8).

“For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.” (Rev. 18:3).

“And now ye know what withholdeth [holds back] that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [holds back] will let [holds back], until he be taken out of the way.”

Satan’s Anti-christ, the coming mass-influencer of the world is not a single man, but rather a fierce, religious organization. And it has been held back by Protestant, civil America.

John F. Kennedy Speeches

The President and the Press: Address before the American Newspaper Publishers Association, April 27, 1961

https://www.jfklibrary.org/Research/Research-Aids/JFK-Speeches/American-Newspaper-Publishers-Association_19610427.aspx

“My topic tonight is a more sober one of concern to publishers as well as editors. 

I want to talk about our common responsibilities in the face of a common danger. The events of recent weeks may have helped to illuminate that challenge for some; but the dimensions of its threat have loomed large on the horizon for many years. Whatever our hopes may be for the future—for reducing this threat or living with it—there is no escaping either the gravity or the totality of its challenge to our survival and to our security—a challenge that confronts us in unaccustomed ways in every sphere of human activity.

This deadly challenge imposes upon our society two requirements of direct concern both to the press and to the President—two requirements that may seem almost contradictory in tone, but which must be reconciled and fulfilled if we are to meet this national peril. I refer, first, to the need for a far greater public information; and, second, to the need for far greater official secrecy. 

The very word ‘secrecy’ is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know. 

But I do ask every publisher, every editor, and every newsman in the nation to reexamine his own standards, and to recognize the nature of our country's peril. In time of war, the government and the press have customarily joined in an effort based largely on self-discipline, to prevent unauthorized disclosures to the enemy. In time of ‘clear and present danger,’ the courts have held that even the privileged rights of the First Amendment must yield to the public’s need for national security. 

Today no war has been declared—and however fierce the struggle may be, it may never be declared in the traditional fashion. Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired. 

If the press is awaiting a declaration of war before it imposes the self-discipline of combat conditions, then I can only say that no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. If you are awaiting a finding of ‘clear and present danger,’ then I can only say that the danger has never been more clear and its presence has never been more imminent. 

It requires a change in outlook, a change in tactics, a change in missions—by the government, by the people, by every businessman or labor leader, and by every newspaper. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence—on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. 

Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match.”

The “monolithic and ruthless conspiracy” that opposes freedom has been held back by Protestant, civil America, as President Kennedy clearly expressed it. But, Reformation Protestantism in America has fallen under heavy attack, and secular America is putting up a brave effort to resist the enemy of liberty. But the secularists are corrupted and weakened by their own self-imposed self-indulgence. They cannot much longer hold back the religio-political joint power of the Vatican and the Evangelical Protestants. The Religious Right, the Moral Majority, the Christian Coalition grandfather organizations among a host of many others already influence the large, powerful church-going half of America. The religious half composes the greatest danger to America today. Not all the people, but the leadership have reached across the abyss to clasp hands with the Vatican to sweep all the Protestants and the whole world into spiritualistic oblivion and moral perversion—perdition.

“And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (2Thess. 2:8-12).

Net Neutrality overthrown

In the approximate year of 1999 my son assured me that no time of trouble could ever happen to this country about which I had been trying to warn him. He informed me that technology would save the day. The internet, which was a new thing in those days, would allow information to travel and exposition of danger to freely keep everyone up-to-date and help them escape evil powers.

Today we see that technology isn’t the saviour of mankind or of America. The powers that be trump technology at its finest. If one man can invent a solution, another man or group of men can invent a work-around to that solution to bring it to nothing.

That is what we just saw Thursday. Information, education, knowledge, etc. did not save us from Satan’s latest move to silence the voice of truth. The most greatest genius cannot out-maneuver the genius of the highest angel. Under the generalship of this evil power from the abyss, America will repudiate every principle of its Constitution and resurrect the despotism he created in the Dark Ages. And it will be the Protestant Evangelicals who cooperate in resurrecting that plague, as we read in the book, Great Controversy, p. 445, 588, and 581.

“When the leading churches of the United States, uniting upon such points of doctrine as are held by them in common, shall influence the state to enforce their decrees and to sustain their institutions, then Protestant America will have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy, and the infliction of civil penalties upon dissenters will inevitably result.”

“Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.”

“God’s word has given warning of the impending danger; let this be unheeded, and the Protestant world will learn what the purposes of Rome really are, only when it is too late to escape the snare. She is silently growing into power. Her doctrines are exerting their influence in legislative halls, in the churches, and in the hearts of men. She is piling up her lofty and massive structures in the secret recesses of which her former persecutions will be repeated. Stealthily and unsuspectedly she is strengthening her forces to further her own ends when the time shall come for her to strike. All that she desires is vantage ground, and this is already being given her. We shall soon see and shall feel what the purpose of the Roman element is. Whoever shall believe and obey the word of God will thereby incur reproach and persecution.”

My prediction regarding the Net Neutrality repeal is that the first sites of the internet to disappear will be those voices that have exposed the Jesuits, the Vatican, and their modern form of ancient terrorism in the Dark Ages Inquisitions; that is, the CIA/FBI/DHS/FEMA/et al. The Vatican/Jesuit-Hitler connection, the Vatican/Jesuit-9/11 connection, the Vatican/Jesuit/CIA connection, et cetera will go away. Everything called a conspiracy will either disappear or be altered to be completely benign or laughable. We will be surprised how quickly the most widely read organ for minority information is shut down. The media is owned by the Vatican and her Jesuits for their propoganda, “with all deceivableness of unrighteousness.” (2Thess. 2:10). Likewise, the monopolized private sector are controlled by those enemies of freedom and righteousness. And the people allowed themselves to be deceived in their hopes that man and his great intelligence could save his planet from evil.

“For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.” (Rev. 18:3).

“And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming: even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, what they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.” (2Thess. 2:8-11).

   “The same masterful mind that plotted against the faithful in ages past is still seeking to rid the earth of those who fear God and obey His law. Satan will excite indignation against the humble minority who conscientiously refuse to accept popular customs and traditions. Men of position and reputation will join with the lawless and the vile to take counsel against the people of God. Wealth, genius, education, will combine to cover them with contempt. Persecuting rulers, ministers, and church members will conspire against them. With voice and pen, by boasts, threats, and ridicule, they will seek to overthrow their faith. By false representations and angry appeals they will stir up the passions of the people. Not having a ‘Thus saith the Scriptures’ to bring against the advocates of the Bible Sabbath, they will resort to oppressive enactments to supply the lack. To secure popularity and patronage, legislators will yield to the demand for a Sunday law. Those who fear God cannot accept an institution that violates a precept of the Decalogue. On this battlefield comes the last great conflict of the controversy between truth and error. And we are not left in doubt as to the issue. Now, as in the days of Mordecai, the Lord will vindicate His truth and His people. 

     By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.  

     As the approach of the Roman armies was a sign to the disciples of the impending destruction of Jerusalem, so may this apostasy be a sign to us that the limit of God’s forbearance is reached, that the measure of our nation’s iniquity is full, and that the angel of mercy is about to take her flight, never to return. The people of God will then be plunged into those scenes of affliction and distress which prophets have described as the time of Jacob's trouble. The cries of the faithful, persecuted ones ascend to heaven. And as the blood of Abel cried from the ground, there are voices also crying to God from martyrs' graves, from the sepulchers of the sea, from mountain caverns, from convent vaults: ‘How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?’  

     The Lord is doing His work. All heaven is astir. The Judge of all the earth is soon to arise and vindicate His insulted authority. The mark of deliverance will be set upon the men who keep God’s commandments, who revere His law, and who refuse the mark of the beast or of his image.  

     God has revealed what is to take place in the last days, that His people may be prepared to stand against the tempest of opposition and wrath. Those who have been warned of the events before them are not to sit in calm expectation of the coming storm, comforting themselves that the Lord will shelter His faithful ones in the day of trouble. We are to be as men waiting for their Lord, not in idle expectancy, but in earnest work, with unwavering faith. It is no time now to allow our minds to be engrossed with things of minor importance. While men are sleeping, Satan is actively arranging matters so that the Lord’s people may not have mercy or justice. The Sunday movement is now making its way in darkness. The leaders are concealing the true issue, and many who unite in the movement do not themselves see whither the undercurrent is tending. Its professions are mild and apparently Christian, but when it shall speak it will reveal the spirit of the dragon. It is our duty to do all in our power to avert the threatened danger. We should endeavor to disarm prejudice by placing ourselves in a proper light before the people. We should bring before them the real question at issue, thus interposing the most effectual protest against measures to restrict liberty of conscience. We should search the Scriptures and be able to give the reason for our faith. Says the prophet: ‘The wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.’

     Those who have access to God through Christ have important work before them. Now is the time to lay hold of the arm of our strength. The prayer of David should be the prayer of pastors and laymen: ‘It is time for Thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void Thy law.’ Let the servants of the Lord weep between the porch and the altar, crying: ‘Spare Thy people, O Lord, and give not Thine heritage to reproach.’ God has always wrought for His people in their greatest extremity, when there seemed the least hope that ruin could be averted. The designs of wicked men, the enemies of the church, are subject to His power and overruling providence. He can move upon the hearts of statesmen; the wrath of the turbulent and disaffected, the haters of God, His truth, and His people can be turned aside, even as the rivers of water are turned, if He orders it thus. Prayer moves the arm of Omnipotence. He who marshals the stars in order in the heavens, whose word controls the waves of the great deep, the same infinite Creator will work in behalf of His people if they call upon Him in faith. He will restrain the forces of darkness until the warning is given to the world and all who will heed it are prepared for the conflict.  

     ‘The wrath of man shall praise Thee,’ says the psalmist; ‘the remainder of wrath shalt Thou restrain.’ God means that testing truth shall be brought to the front and become a subject of examination and discussion, even if it is through the contempt placed upon it. The minds of the people must be agitated. Every controversy, every reproach, every slander, will be God's means of provoking inquiry and awakening minds that otherwise would slumber.  

     Thus it has been in the past history of God’s people. For refusing to worship the great golden image which Nebuchadnezzar had set up, the three Hebrews were cast into the fiery furnace. But God preserved His servants in the midst of the flames, and the attempt to enforce idolatry resulted in bringing the knowledge of the true God before the assembled princes and great men of the vast kingdom of Babylon.  

     So when the decree went forth forbidding prayer to any god save the king. As Daniel, according to his custom, made his supplications three times a day to the God of heaven, the attention of the princes and rulers was called to his case. He had an opportunity to speak for himself, to show who is the true God, and to present the reason why He alone should receive worship, and the duty of rendering Him praise and homage. And the deliverance of Daniel from the den of lions was another evidence that the Being whom he worshiped was the true and living God.  

     So the imprisonment of Paul brought the gospel before kings, princes, and rulers who otherwise would not have had this light. The efforts made to retard the progress of truth will serve to extend it. The excellence of truth is more clearly seen from every successive point from which it may be viewed. Error requires disguise and concealment. It clothes itself in angel robes, and every manifestation of its real character lessens its chance of success. 

     The people whom God has made the depositaries of His law are not to permit their light to be hidden. The truth must be proclaimed in the dark places of the earth. Obstacles must be met and surmounted. A great work is to be done, and this work has been entrusted to those who know the truth. They should make mighty intercession with God for help now. The love of Christ must be diffused in their own hearts. The Spirit of Christ must be poured out upon them, and they must be making ready to stand in the judgment. While they are consecrating themselves to God, a convincing power will attend their efforts to present the truth to others, and its light will find access to many hearts. We must sleep no longer on Satan's enchanted ground, but call into requisition all our resources and avail ourselves of every facility with which Providence has furnished us. The last warning is to be proclaimed ‘before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings;’ and the promise is given, ‘Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.’” Testimonies for the church, vol. 5, p. 450-454.

The beast from the bottomless pit has swept away one of its most formidable opponents—the internet and YouTube. Not much left that could restrain the beast remains intact. Do we know God and His only begotten Son? Are we prepared for the storm that will hit with relentless fury?

While the internet still carries exponents of truth, let us copy those videos and other articles, and let us preserve them and proliferate them. By voice and by pen and by the remaining internet, let us warn the world of the approaching march of the armies of Chaldea, “that bitter and hasty nation” (Hab. 1:6, cf Rev. 8:11), whose springs of their heart have been made bitter by the wormwood of Jesuit Spiritual Exercises, i.e. Spiritual Formation, which is spiritualism (compare Deuteronomy 29:18-29; Revelation 14:9-11).

“They had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon [‘destroying angel’], but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon [‘destroyer, that is, Satan’]” (Rev. 9:11).

Abundant offense makes abundant grace

Will we be offended? Will we know condemnation for justification?

“Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.” (Rom. 5:20).

I just read a synopsis of Martin Luther by Marvin Moore.

“Martin Luther was a tortured soul, if ever there was one. He grew up with a warped understanding of God as harsh and severe. And becoming an Augustinian monk only made matters worse. He followed all the rules of the Catholic Church with diligence: praying, going on pilgrimages, attending mass, and doing everything he could think of to make himself acceptable to God. But none of this brought peace to his distraught mind. He thought of God as a cruel tyrant rather than a kind heavenly father.

However, through a careful study of Paul’s writings, especially Romans, Luther came to understand that righteousness is a gift that God gives to those who believe in Jesus. He came to realize that he didn’t have to do all manner of penances and fasting and prayers in order to be acceptable to God. Rather, his acceptance by God was gained simply by believing that God covered his sin with Christ’s righteousness…” Signs of the Times, October 2017, pg. 33.

I have a problem with Elder Moore’s take on justification by faith. He leaves out the foundation for justification—the wrestling, the offense, the rebuke of God.

“For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.” (Rom. 7:9).

Just as the Law entered this world that offense might abound in our sinful race, the Law entered Paul’s conscience at the start of his journey to salvation. The Law entered his conscience so that offense would abound in him.

The wrestling is utterly essential to the gift of God’s grace. God never gives away cheap gifts, and He never has had a great gift giveaway. Any salvation, which avoids pining away through a long night of tears, is cheap—it is the fornication of Babylon. But, His true science of salvation the world refuses. “For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.” (Rev. 18:3).

“How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.” (Rev. 18:7).

Every Christian who buys into the cheap doctrines of a painless, indolent victory has joined in the world’s passion for Astarte, Ishtar, Isis, Ashtoreth, Diana, Venus, Mary.

“So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great Goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.” (Acts 19:27).

“And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.” (Acts 19:28).

“And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” (Rev. 17:5).

The great Vestal Virgin surrounded by the masses makes it appear that she will win the war against Christ. But, though heart join with arrogant heart, the wicked shall not go unpunished.

“And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?” (Rev. 13:3,4).

Why does the whole world go after Antichrist? Because she makes salvation easy for the taking. Is that the salvation Jesus offered? Not at all.

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” (Matt. 7:13,14).

“Then said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. for whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it.” (Matt. 16:24,25).

“But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

And be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death.” (Phil. 3:7-10).

This is a high standard, one not welcome to the world. This is why the whole world wonders after the modern Ashtoreth of our day. Far removed from the true gospel, diametrically opposed, is this easy, law-abrogating, Spirit of Prophecy-avoiding, conviction-dodging, correction-evading, death to self-eluding new (yet the most ancient) gospel that is arising again from the bottomless pit.

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” (Matt. 7:15,16).

“Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.” (Phil. 3:2).

These warnings are still inestimably applicable. The gospel today is surrounded by wolves, dogs, and evil workers—the modern concision. The concision of Paul’s day was the Pharisees, rabbis, priests, the “circumcision”, which had confidence in the flesh. But, contrariwise, Paul declared, “we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.” (Phil. 3:3).

Paul exemplified for us how to come to Jesus—by fighting our way through the rebuke of God, wrestling under His condemnation of our sins, resolving the indignity against our self-made moral greatness, until surrendering to His true assessment of us. We need to see ourselves as the Schoolmaster sees us, which is our true condition. But the new paradigm destroys our pride and boasting. It kills self; it slays us.

“When the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.

For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.” (Rom. 7:9-13).

It is true that the goodness of God leads us to repentance. But, we must remember that God is good to us even when He is bad to us. Not if, but when.

“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil^H7451: I the LORD do all these things.” (Isa. 45:7).s

H7451 From H7489; bad or (as noun) evil (naturally or morally). This includes the second (feminine) form; as adjective or noun:- adversity, affliction, bad, calamity, + displease (-ure), distress, evil ([-favouredness], man, thing), + exceedingly, X great, grief (-vous), misery, naught (-ty), noisome, + not please, sad (-ly), sore, sorrow, trouble, vex, wicked (-ly, -ness, one), worse (-st) wretchedness, wrong.

“For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.” (Isa. 30:15-17).

God would do bad things to His children? Yes, He will. That has always been the promise from our loving heavenly Father. Hasn’t it? Read Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28, and you will see that He isn’t always nice; but He is always love. His strong threat was repeated again to Solomon.

“And the LORD said unto him [Solomon], I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before Me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put My name there for ever; and Mine eyes and Mine heart shall be there perpetually.

And if thou wilt walk before Me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep My statutes and My judgments:

Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.

But if ye shall at all turn from following Me, ye or your children, and will not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other Gods, and worship them:

Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for My name, will I cast out of My sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:

And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house?

And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.” (1Ki. 9:3-9).

The Evangelical preachers love what they call the gospel and they love to quote Hebrews 8:8-12. But they “hold the truth in unrighteousness.” (Rom. 1:18). They walk “in craftiness, … handling the word of God deceitfully.” (2Cor. 4:2). They are false prophets. They are ravening wolves.  And one day, as a nation, the Evangelical Protestants will speak like the dragon, enforcing a death decree against all who will not worship according to the dictates of the Evangelical lawless doctrines and spiritualistic worship practices.

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. They say still unto them that despise Me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.” (Jer. 23:16,17). “Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.” (Jer. 23:15).

The Evangelicals fulfill the curse from Deuteronomy 29,

“Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the Gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:

The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.” (Deut. 29:18-20).

The Evangelicals love their gospel of painless grace. They have even built it into their pre-trib rapture eschatology.

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

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

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

And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know Me, from the least to the greatest.

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.” (Heb. 8:8-12).

Paul here quoted from Jeremiah 31:31-34.

“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which My covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:

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

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

Ah, there is a lot of good news in this new covenant! Wonderful! The new covenant is wonderful and good news. It gave Jeremiah a small reprieve from the wrath of God.

After hearing Jesus say, “For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul,” Jeremiah wrote, “Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.” (Jer. 31:25,26).

The new covenant is our hope and God’s good pleasure. But, please notice its context in Jeremiah 30 and 31. Look at what Jesus had to do in order to write the Law in their hearts and minds, and put a new Spirit within them.

“… I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict… In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.” (Jer. 31:28-30).

That’s not good news, it’s bad news. “Lord, do You mean in the new covenant days whoever sins his teeth will be set on edge?” What does it mean by the Lord plucked up, broke down, threw down, destroyed, afflicted His people before He would forgive their iniquities? Afflict them with what?

“The sword” (Jer. 31:2). “He … scattered Israel.” (Jer. 31:10). With a “yoke [on] thy neck, and … bonds, and strangers … serv[ing] themselves of him.” (Jer. 30:8).

How far did He scatter Israel? “The north country, and … the coasts of the earth.” (Jer. 31:8).

“For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble….

I have scattered thee … I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous….

All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased.

Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.” (Jer. 30:5-7,11-12,14-15).

“How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!

She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.

Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.

The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.

Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.

And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.

Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths.

Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.

Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembereth not her last end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. O LORD, behold my affliction: for the nemy hath magnified himself.” (Lam. 1:1-9).

“How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in His anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not His footstool in the day of His anger!

The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: He hath thrown down in His wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; He hath brought them down to the ground: He hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.

He hath cut off in His fierce anger all the horn of Israel: He hath drawn back His right hand from before the enemy, and He burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.

He hath bent His bow like an enemy: He stood with His right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: He poured out His fury like fire.…

Her gates are sunk into the ground; He hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.

Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.

They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers’ bosom.

What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?…

Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward Him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.

Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?

The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; Thou hast slain them in the day of Thine anger; Thou hast killed, and not pitied.

Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD’s anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.” (Lam. 2:1-4,9-13,19-22).

Jeremiah stood alone against the array of false prophets who claimed they had a burden of news from the Lord. But, all of their messages were of ease and continued prosperity.

“Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.” (Lam. 2:14).

The false prophets’ message from the throne of God was only good news. “Jehovah would never hurt His children! He used to do that during the ancient times of the judges. But that was then, and this is now. As long as our temple and religion stand, Jehovah is for us. As long as we worship Him He will protect us. Nebuchadnezzar will come and the Lord will defeat him! For ‘Immânȗ El! ‘God is with us’ (Isa. 8:10)!”

“Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.” (Isa. 1:4).

“Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.” (Isa. 1:5-9).

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

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto Me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

When ye come to appear before Me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread My courts?

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto Me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

Your new moons and your appointed feasts My soul hateth: they are a trouble unto Me; I am weary to bear them.

And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide Mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.” (Isa. 1:10-15).

Is Isaiah’s harsh language from Jesus the makings of justification by faith? Yes, it sure is! Trouble, tribulation, affliction makes justification by faith? Yes it sure does! I’m sorry to say that it’s the only way. Why is it the only way? Because “thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous….” (Jer. 30:12). “Thus saith the LORD.”

“Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before Mine eyes; cease to do evil; learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.… If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.” (Isa. 1:16,17,19.20).

But, once they resolved His assault on their character, they could come with happy and humble hearts. That’s the good news. That’s great news!

“They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is My firstborn.” (Jer. 31:9).

Ah, the goodness of God. The goodness of divine, wise love. Will we have justification? Will we have sins forgiven? Will we end up with Paul in his wrestling, crying out, “O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” (Rom. 7:24). Will we be corrected, reproved, rebuked? Will we be instructed in righteousness? Will we surrender to the correction, reproof, the rebuke of our God, His instruction, and then be justified?

The path of the just goes through this strait gate. To be just is to be justified. And to be just we must succumb to the strait testimony of the True Witness, Jesus. Will we go to the Testimony of Jesus, the Spirit of Prophecy, and have our souls slain? Will we let the Law lean on us and grind our wretched flaws to powder? Will we wrestle and survive our processing of His rebuke, and finally surrender to the Law’s pummeling? This is the strait gate that few ever find.

That is why all the Evangelical world haven’t found this strait gate. Falling on their face, at first despairing of hope, falling at His feet as a dead man with all their comeliness seen in its true corruption, is too much nerve-wracking discomfort. Being naked before Him is too disconcerting to the self-sufficient, unredeemed heart. It is too terrifying to fall into the hands of the living God. The pain of death to self, the vulnerable sensing that they have committed the unpardonable sin, is more than they can bear. It is unwelcome and subconsciously avoided, and therefore recognized. The Spirit of Truth came unto His own, and His own received Him not.

“Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.

She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.

Unto you, O men, I call; and My voice is to the sons of man.

O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.” (Prov. 8:1-5).

While Jesus still dwelled among His disciples He taught them of His manifestation in them. “Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” (John 14:17).

The Spirit of truth was made flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth. Yet, for most, the dissecting Word of God, the Way, the Truth, the Life, must pass on. All who reject Him who died for their sins, then fall prey to the only other alterative—the devious spirit of Mary, the Queen of heaven, and the Co-Redemptrix/Mediatrix who can never experience infirmities and has never been touched with our feelings of infirmity. Her serene image is a mockery to all who are enslaved by sin. Her heart is stone cold; she never knew God’s “chastisement of our peace” (Isa. 53:5). Her redemption for our sins never cost her anything. Therefore her redemption is cheap and good for nothing.

But the Son of God has known our grief. “The chastisement of our peace was upon Him.” (Isa. 53:5). And “as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John 1:12,13).

The affliction is past; His “warfare is accomplished” (Isa. 40:2); processing God’s condemnation is over; surrender to the Schoolmaster is forthcoming; despairing hope has turned into full faith. Now the soul is subject to the Law of God, ready and enabled to will and to do His good pleasure. Now the Schoolmaster brings the soul to Christ to be justified by his faith.

“Come now, and let Us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” (Isa. 1:18).

“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” (John 3:5).

Breathing into their soul’s nostrils the breath of life, He saith unto them, “Receive ye the Holy Ghost” (John 20:22). The gift of God, the powers of the world to come, the “blessedness” (Gal. 4:15; Rom. 4:6,9) from the heavenly One who is “God blessed for ever” (Rom. 9:5)! In His presence having the fullness of joy, at His right hand pleasures for evermore. Being in paradise with Jesus today. Sitting in heavenly places with Christ, tasting of His heavenly gift, in the Spirit, and translated into the kingdom of God’s dear Son. Riding on the high places of the earth and feeding on the heritage of Jacob our father who also wrestled and was blessed by Jesus.

“He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock.” (Deut. 32:13). They have sucked His grace from His stone commandment, and the Father’s reconciled Spirit out of His flinty, immutable Law. This is the only valid justification. It was a two step, not a one step, procedure. First the great Schoolmaster, then the meek Comforter.

“[1] Deep conviction took hold upon their minds and hearts. They were convinced of sin and of righteousness and of judgment to come. They had a sense of the righteousness of Jehovah and felt the terror of appearing, in their guilt and uncleanness, before the Searcher of hearts. In anguish they cried out: ‘Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?’ [2] As the cross of Calvary, with its infinite sacrifice for the sins of men, was revealed, they saw that nothing but the merits of Christ could suffice to atone for their transgressions; this alone could reconcile man to God. With faith and humility they accepted the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world. Through the blood of Jesus they had ‘remission of sins that are past.’

     These souls brought forth fruit meet for repentance. They believed and were baptized, and rose to walk in newness of life—new creatures in Christ Jesus; not to fashion themselves according to the former lusts, but by the faith of the Son of God to follow in His steps, to reflect His character, and to purify themselves even as He is pure. The things they once hated they now loved, and the things they once loved they hated. The proud and self-assertive became meek and lowly of heart. The vain and supercilious became serious and unobtrusive. The profane became reverent, the drunken sober, and the profligate pure. The vain fashions of the world were laid aside. Christians sought not the ‘outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but … the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.’ 1 Peter 3:3, 4.” Great Controversy, p. 461.

 

But, the gospel of affliction and punishment from a loving heavenly Schoolmaster, although biblically sound, is bad news to millions of Evangelical false prophets today. Soon, Elijah will reappear to set doctrine straight. But, by then most of the false prophets will be sealed in their rebellion against the government of God.

Elder Moore, please rethink your position on justification by faith, before it’s too late to repent.

And I believe Martin Luther would agree with me. He would condemn the cheap version of Evangelical indulgences.

Net Neutrality

“For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.” (Rev. 18:3).

The following excerpt tells of a serious issue today. You can read the whole article at https://www.savetheinternet.com/net-neutrality-what-you-need-know-now.

“What would happen if we lost Net Neutrality?

The internet without Net Neutrality isn’t really the internet. Unlike the open internet that has paved the way for so much innovation and given a platform to people who have historically been shut out, it would become a closed-down network where cable and phone companies call the shots and decide which websites, content or applications succeed.

This would have an enormous impact. Companies like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon would be able to decide who is heard and who isn’t. They’d be able to block websites or content they don’t like or applications that compete with their own offerings.

The consequences would be particularly devastating for marginalized communities media outlets have misrepresented or failed to serve. People of color, the LGBTQ community, indigenous peoples and religious minorities in the United States rely on the open internet to organize, access economic and educational opportunities, and fight back against systemic discrimination.

Without Net Neutrality, how would activists be able to fight oppression? What would happen to social movements like the Movement for Black Lives? How would the next disruptive technology, business or company emerge if internet service providers only let incumbents succeed?”

I am by far not the leader of the pack when it comes to knowing the latest on technology, but when I visited my family yesterday at the Thanksgiving get-together, they were talking about Net Neutrality. I saw family member talk in serious tones who were normally joking around. Actually, I was glad to see the change in mood because we should all be seeing the huge storm coming our way. It’s not that I’m against joy and light-hearted conversation. But, there is time for laughter and a time for mourning, and in this time of the cleansing of the sanctuary and the investigative judgment, we are commanded to be afflicting our souls (Lev. 16:31; 23:27,32). My family members are not Adventists and have seen little reason to be concerned with the future. Eventually that will have to change. Men’s hearts will be fearing for the things coming on the earth.

Ellen White made this statement:

“Today the signs of the times declare that we are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Everything in our world is in agitation. Before our eyes is fulfilling the Saviour’s prophecy of the events to precede His coming: ‘Ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. . . . Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.’ Matthew 24:6, 7.

     The present is a time of overwhelming interest to all living. Rulers and statesmen, men who occupy positions of trust and authority, thinking men and women of all classes, have their attention fixed upon the events taking place about us. They are watching the relations that exist among the nations. They observe the intensity that is taking possession of every earthly element, and they recognize that something great and decisive is about to take place--that the world is on the verge of a stupendous crisis.

     The Bible, and the Bible only, gives a correct view of these things. Here are revealed the great final scenes in the history of our world, events that already are casting their shadows before, the sound of their approach causing the earth to tremble and men’s hearts to fail them for fear.” PK 536, 537.

   

She made other similar statements.

“The agencies of evil are combining their forces and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis. Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones. The condition of things in the world shows that troublous times are right upon us.” (9T 11).

“The events of the future... will... come...with blinding force.... Gigantic monopolies will be formed... A few men will...grasp all the means...in certain lines of business.” (2SM 142).

“A storm is coming, relentless in its fury. Are we prepared to meet it?   

     We need not say: The perils of the last days are soon to come upon us. Already they have come. We need now the sword of the Lord to cut to the very soul and marrow of fleshly lusts, appetites, and passions.” (8T 315)

“The Bible, and the Bible only, gives a correct view of these things.” The vast majority of Protestant Americans today have no idea of their Protestant past. Not only is their history forgotten, but the original faith in the Bible has been taken from them. Over the centuries and generations, all the gifts that Jesus gave this nation have been sold for earthly trinkets during our short stay in this life.

It has been difficult to break through their hearts’ many layers of long-time unbelief toward the Bible and biblical warnings of Jesus’ soon return. Today it is as though America never knew the truth as it is in Jesus. But, the day is coming when they will be forced to open their eyes, as they see the relentless storm coming. They will know the fury of the Vatican to regain all that she lost by heaven’s exaltation of America for the protection of the world against the Vatican’s despotism and tyranny of the Dark Ages. By our Constitutional government, by its holy biblical religion, by prosperity and economic might, heaven’s very blessing to Jacob—“God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee” (Gen. 27:28,29)—, Protestant America has spared the world from the evils of the “Holy” Roman Empire. Catholicism is pagan religion with Christianity spray painted on it for Satan’s greater power to deceive all who join this imposter. A loveless, Christless blight to heart and mind, soul and body, is Catholicism’s curse to humanity.

But, how has Protestant America done since it became a nation? It had a good start, but it has lost all that it gained. Over time our faith in the Bible and our obedience to it has grown increasingly sparing. Until today even the church-going half are preaching “grace and grace only since the Ten Commandments was abolished at the cross”, and “God would never punish us.” Protestantism is in definite apostasy.

So now with our divine protection gone, our old enemy is back. And Protestant Americans may not recognize her as their enemy, but she has always recognized them as such. We are her primary nemesis. The papacy now has control of America and is directing it to rebuild a replica of the despotic Dark Ages. And the faithful protester, Protestantism, has gone mute. It has nothing more to say against the Vatican’s spiritualism, but only praises for its paganism. If Aaron called the worship of the golden calf at Sinai a feast to Jehovah, that didn’t make it so. It was still the worship of Satan; and likewise, Catholicism.

Protestantism being mute is why Revelation calls Protestantism a false prophet, “the false prophet that wrought miracles before [the beast], with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.” (Rev. 19:20, cf 13:11-14).

On Halloween, the Protestant leadership publicly made a covenant with the enemy of the Bible, which martyred millions for their love of the Bible. If that doesn’t have eerie forebodings, I don’t know what does. The Protestant denominations shook hands in covenant with the high priest of spiritualism on the day established to worship the dead!

So what does the loss of Net Neutrality have to do with the Vatican and Inquisitions?

The destruction of Net Neutrality means that a powerful means for marginalized groups to voice their concerns will no longer exist. Do the Jesuits control the world? Yes, they most certainly do. If they can assassinate U.S. Presidents and start wars, including the current war in the Middle East based on 9/11, they are in control. And if they aren’t right now surveiling our streets, its only because they choose to wait; but that day is coming. Do they control our media and telecommunications? The internet address above explains that an industry as well as possible greed is causing the war against a free internet. But, it really describes the Jesuits’ work to a “t”.

“They are a public plague, and the plague of the world . . . From the Jesuit colleges there never is sent a pupil obedient to his father, devoted to his country, loyal to his prince.”

“Every species of vice finds its patronage in them. There is no perjury, nor sacrilege, nor parricide, nor incest, nor rapine, nor fraud, nor treason which cannot be masked as meritorious beneath the mantle of their dispensation.” --Paolo Sarpi (1552-1623, a Venetian patriot, scholar, scientist and church reformer)

“The Jesuits are a MILITARY organization, not a religious order. Their chief is a general of an army, not the mere father abbot of a monastery. And the aim of this organization is power – power in its most despotic exercise – absolute power, universal power, power to control the world by the volition of a single man [i.e., the Black Pope, the Superior General of the Jesuits].
Jesuitism is the most absolute of despotisms [sic] – and at the same time the greatest and most enormous of abuses…”
--Napoleon I (i.e., Napoleon Bonaparte; 1769-1821; emperor)

Let me at this point mix with truth the rightful mercy toward many Catholic people.

“God has children, many of them, in the Protestant churches, and a large number in the Catholic churches, who are more true to obey the light to the very best of their knowledge than a large number among Sabbathkeeping Adventists who do not walk in the light. The Lord will have the message of truth proclaimed, that Protestants may be warned and awakened to the true state of things” The Ellen G. White 1888 Materials, p. 377.

I’m not speaking about all the people, but to the leadership and toward all who avoid Christ’s example of perfect obedience to His Father’s Law. And to the extent that I or anyone avoid Jesus’ perfect example shown in the Spirit of Prophecy, we are under the same imputation of guilt and blasphemy.

Nevertheless, the Jesuits are the world’s most grievous source of danger. If Protestant Americans were more awake to the present emergency, we would hear more about the Jesuits, in particular. But, Americans have been deceived and can only speak from their secular, atheistic, anti-spiritual worldview. Yet, despite their misconceptions, I can say with the beautiful tolerance of Paul,

“What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in [unbelief]…, [the truth] is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.” (Phil. 1:18).

What I mean by that is that, even with the limited worldview of the secularists, they are still standing as watchmen on the walls of Zion, communicating intelligently and clearly this Net Neutrality danger as they see it. The protest is going forward, not by the churches, but by the secular world. And for that I must rejoice.

But, Net Neutrality should teach the atheistic/agnostic Americans that hoping in humanity is not good, and never was. “Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.” (Jer. 17:5,6).

Humanity and its great inventions and solutions cannot be trusted in. And the corollary for that law is:

“Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” (Jer. 17:7,18).

The Bible is the most relevant book in the world! Its truth wins out in the end! Why do we ever doubt Jesus our Lord?! Ah! We need Him and His word so much to give us victory over the image of the beast, neo-Babylon the Great.

Net Neutrality, or internet equality and internet provider non-interference with the information that is put on the internet, though the principle is reasonable and good and righteous, could not be trusted in. This is simply because man doesn't see that Satan is behind all the evil goings on. Therefore they cannot put their finger on the problem or on the solution. Protestantism and its righteous laws have enemies that are too tenacious, too persistent, too plugged into the devil who drives his hosts of darkness. That mastermind sees his opportunity and surely seizes it, regardless of the law of the land. He scoffs at constitutions and legislation.

We have hoped in freedom of speech on the internet. We’ve been hoping in technology to keep us safe. But, Satan hates freedom of speech. He hates freedom of religion. And we don’t have Jesus to protect Protestant America anymore since, on October 31, we cut the last strand of His protection by joining the high priest of spiritualism on Halloween.

Adventism is a minority denomination and one branded as a cult. That label must have come from the Vatican because we had made that accusation against them. And we did so because it was biblical and because the world needed to hear the warning. But even Adventism has not been faithful to the Spirit of Prophecy. Our love has been set on the world instead of on implicit obedience to Jesus’ testimony through Ellen White. So now we will suffer for the brand of being a cult. With Net Neutrality gone, if we cry out from the internet will we be heard? Will my blogsite show up that sometimes has pointed to the Vatican as Satan’s number one earthly agency? In vain will Adventists cry out because the internet providers are owned by the Jesuits, which must silence Adventism, the remnant of the Reformation’s protest.

The phrase “wall of separation between church and state” came into being, not from the United States Constitution and neither from our Declaration of Independence, but via a letter from Thomas Jefferson to a group of Baptists in Danbury, Connecticut. The setting was January 1, 1802. The Federalists were acting much like the Republican Party in their political ties to the most powerful denominations. The Federalist Party wanted the government to support religion, and Jefferson wouldn’t let it happen.

The Baptists from Danbury feared persecution from the established denominations, and wrote their fears and sent them to the president. He reassured them that the Constitution would never allow government sponsorship of religion and let persecution happen. And he knew that his message to them was also a message to the Federalists. If the larger denominations were to receive funds from the government, their power to persecute would have an unbeatable advantage over the tiny Baptist denomination, which would receive only a pittance from government funding. No, the God-given United States Constitution would protect from all forms of tyranny.

But, times are changing. Today we’ve been seeing the authority of the Constitution eroded time after time. Presidential decrees override due process in Congress. Wars are fought without the consent of the people. War no longer comes with a declaration of war, as in former days; yet wars are being fought anyway, with American soldiers being dismembered and killed, with the decimation of innocent populations in the foreign lands.

School vouchers were unconstitutional because they sent federal money to parochial schools. Yet, the president still made it happen.

The Federal Reserve System is highly unconstitutional because it ignores the U.S. Constitution’s requirement for the government to spend only what it has in its treasury. Instead under the Federal Reserve Act, our federal government borrows from foreign bankers every dollar it spends and pays it back with interest. It acts like a huge credit card. This is exactly how the Jesuits gained control of the nations of Europe during the Dark Ages. And it is also how they paid for their impoverishing wars between European countries.) Slowly the wealth of the nation goes to international banks (“International banks” should be interpreted the Vatican bank.) Yet, as blasphemous as it was, not even President Kennedy could revoke the Federal Reserve Act without being assassinated.

Another infringement on the Constitution is the imprisonment of untried people who are accused of terrorism. Since 9/11 anyone accused of being a terrorist is guilty until proven innocent. Actually, even worse, one accused of terrorism is automatically guilty and has no protection from the Constitution’s Bill of Rights that gives each citizen the right of due process of law. Now, half of the Bill of Rights is gutted, because any American today can be called a terrorist. And if they are called a terrorist they have no legal protection; Habeas Corpus does not apply to them. They are put in indefinite detention without contact from the outside world. Then comes the torture to get a confession from them or to make them recant. Torture is another recent addition to the American code of military justice, and another gift of the Vatican’s Inquisitions. And false accusation is commendable to the Jesuits if it is done for the greater glory of the Church.

Like the Berlin Wall, our Constitution and Bill of Rights are falling before Jesuitry, the army of Loyola. All of these are signs of the coming time of trouble such as never was. Let no American think that this nightmare will only happen to the rest of the world. And let no one from the rest of the world think it will only happen in America. It will happen to the whole world.

“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns…. Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet…. Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.” (Dan. 7:7,19,23).

It will be a horrific, but necessary, captivity in Babylon for God’s people because they needed its humbling and purification. But, Christlikeness is His goal of His punishing consequences. All who hold fast to Christ in the first troubles will be ready to preach the gospel in the Latter Rain. Shaken but still holding on, they will give a loud voice and their light will lighten the whole earth. Then they will go strongly through the final struggle such as never was.

“When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.

From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous.” (Isa. 24:13-16).

Once His commandment keepers are purified, and they preach the gospel for a witness to all nations, then Jesus will come to take for His own.

“I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:3). “And so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (1Thess. 4:17).

“Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before His ancients gloriously.” (Isa. 24:23).
