GOD’S CALL TO THE MOST SIMPLE REFORM

     With tremendous ease Satan has made a mockery of Christianity before the world, in government, academia, science, entertainment and other religions.  Even the easiest commandment GOD gave to His children, His chosen day of blessed rest, the ruling churches have renounced and lead the whole world to follow their example in uplifting a day ordained of men. While it is not a sin to go to church on Sunday it is wise to understand the cause and effect of this ancient tradition and how this plays the leading role in fulfilling Bible prophecy for the end times because the whole purpose of Satan is to lead every man and woman to violate the same Holy Law that condemns him: the Ten Commandments. This is what the Bible calls sin and is why GOD calls every man to repent.

     Based on this rivalry against GOD and the laws of His government the book of Revelation describes two women, representing two churches or systems of worship (Rev.12; 17). While both claim fidelity to Jesus Christ in wedlock only one of these two women is faithful to their trust. We are required to understand the danger of following the unfaithful woman in light of Christ’s last appeal that is soon to go to the whole world: “Come out of her my people.” Rev.18:4. Sin is about to reach its apex in this world. And GOD must allow sin to play out its hand that all can see its destination.

     In Christ’s day, every popular view of prophecy and ceremonial parade contributed to His rejection and crucifixion.  Even the disciples of Christ were gripped by common traditions that led them to struggle with the Savior’s teaching (Lu.9:44,45).  Christians today are ensnared by the same corrupting influences.  As a result the churches are no more ready for Christ today than when the Jews cried “away with Him,” because manmade religion has altered the Gospel message in the minds of millions of Christians.  And should Christ come today the nominal Christian church would reject His Word no less than the Jews of old because Christ would not meet the expectations of today’s Christian leaders based on the doctrines they hold. But this does not disqualify the righteous individuals in every denomination (Rom.2:13-15).  The LORD knows His own in every walk of life (Jn.10:16).   

     The historical evidence of church apostasy against the Judean model of Christianity is well documented (I Thess.2:14; II Thess.2:7-12). Even the mechanical rote of religious ceremonies forms a hypnotic monotony, which only strengthens the hold of sin on the lives of professing Christians, dulling their needed discernment in the ways of Christ.  As a result, the very essence of reform has been overruled by men who assure the world of their obedience to GOD as evidenced through the many rituals of the church.  But these ceremonial exhibitions are no evidence of obedience to the LORD of Creation (Amos 5:21-23).  Because the foundation of this piety and scholarship is built on sand it will not stand, for none of it is founded on the Word of GOD (Matt.7:26,27).  The Word of GOD would never lead to what exists today in many of the traditional views of the church.  Everything from the religious leaders believing that Sunday sacredness is vital to human survival to declaring immortality to little children in the fires of hell, the betrayal of Jesus Christ is thematic throughout the Christian world. And this represents the thrust of their evangelism.

     By investigating the gradual apostasy of Judah leading to the utter collapse of that nation in 605 B.C. one discovers that when ancient heathen rites infiltrated Judaism GOD was increasingly dishonored; and He eventually left the temple, leaving the Jews to their chosen god (Eze.8:15-18; ch.10).  These same pagan traditions have likewise contaminated Christianity, thereby corrupting the purity and holiness of the Gospel message before an unbelieving world.  The snares of Satan that led the children of Israel into sin and to their eventual destruction are being repeated with an identical success in the flow of today’s events (Eccl.1:9; I Cor.10:11).  Israel’s fall was merely a model of what is to become of America; and our ruin is as guaranteed as was the ruin of ancient Israel (Jer.4:26) simply because humility and reform holds no place in the hearts of men who lead the spiritual lives of others.      

     “The tradition of men” was the leverage that was used to crucify Christ; and yet this ‘poor excuse’ for righteousness is still held in high regard today.  Principally, the age-old traditions, first established 4000 years ago in the worship of Nimrod (the world’s first holy pontiff), his wife, Semiramis, and her bastard son, Tammuz, are still thriving today within the Christian Church, thousands of years after their deaths.  Ancient legend teaches that Nimrod ascended to the sun after he died (Hislop, The Two Babylons).  This false belief inaugurated traditions of ancient sun/Nimrod worship that have been carried all through time, even being incorporated into today’s Christianity through the Roman Catholic Church.  Soon after Nimrod’s untimely death, at the hands of Shem the righteous son of Noah, because of Nimrod’s tyrannical, ungodly life (Hislop, The Two Babylons), his widow, Semiramis became pregnant.  To maintain her hold on the power established by Nimrod she declared that he descended from the sun and divinely impregnated her.  She gave birth to a son, Tammuz, who was born on Christmas day, and he was heralded before the world as the son of god (Nimrod).  This was the original Madonna and child; and has been carried all through time (Jer.7:16-20), even to the place of preeminence in the Roman Catholic Church in the person of the Virgin Mary, thus dishonoring her true value as the mother of the Christ of GOD.  As “the queen of heaven” was worshipped by Judah’s priesthood in the days of their ruin, so “Mary Queen of the Universe” is heralded today in the days of America’s ruin. But Tammuz, as a little boy, while training his skill as a hunter, he was killed by a wild pig at the time of what is now called Easter.  Hence began the ancient traditions of Christmas and Easter.  Even the tradition of eating ham on Easter Sunday has its origin in the story of Tammuz: a “tradition of men” that is now 4000 years old.   

     These same traditions of sun worship played a leading role in the demise of ancient Israel (Eze.8:13-18).  And the great sin of these pagan traditions, Sunday sacredness, in violation to GOD’S Memorial of Creation, the seventh-day Sabbath of the 4th Commandment, was declared by Israel’s priesthood as blessed of GOD.  When Israel’s religion led them to permanently disobey the Sabbath they crossed the point of no return.  And when the Roman Catholic Church discarded “the LORD’S day,” GOD’S “holy day,” “the seventh day” they also crossed the point of no return (Rev.1:10; Isa.58:13; Ex.20:10).  And now, today’s Christianity in Protestant America is following these very same steps of apostasy that will lead our nation of America to an identical ruin as ancient Israel.  The words of “the LORD” are unmistakable in both their warning and consequence: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.” “Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.”  “Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my Sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.” “And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation. There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof. Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.  Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.  And her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.  The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.  And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.  Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.” Matt.24:35; Ex.31:13; Eze.20:21,22:23-31.  

     GOD, through the pen of His prophets and apostles recorded every lesson of every danger men face in this world (Mk.13:23), but as Solomon said, “there is no remembrance of former things” (Eccl.1:11).  This is why history always repeats itself.  In essence, today’s religious leaders rest in a false confidence as the Savior said (Rev.3:17), for the church’s illiteracy of the legal framework of GOD’S salvation leaves them to perish in their sins.  The Savior’s words to the religious leaders of His day are no less applicable today: “Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.” “Except thou repent” “ye shall die in your sins.”  Jn.8:34; Rev.2:5; Jn.8:21.  As a result of our religious leaders pride and their belligerence against Scripture, people will be brought into dire straits as this world draws to its close: “It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be.” Isa.29:8.             

The Ten Steps to Christ’s 2nd Advent 

1. America legislates a National Sunday Law in defiance to GOD’S “holy day” “the LORD’S day” “the seventh day...Sabbath” of the 4th Commandment (Ex.16:26, 20:8-11; Isa.58:13; Rev.1:10)  

2. National ruin swiftly comes as a result of this apostasy, which “maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men” (Rev.13:13; Deut.28:15-68; Job 1:16): where these destructive judgments fall on the mansions of the wealthy and the business districts who serve insatiably greedy men; along with other judgments from GOD’S arsenal of nature, which will be carried out against the concentrated wickedness in the cities (Hos.8:14; Amos 1:1-2:5) fulfilling the words of David: “It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.” Ps.119:126 

3. Fearing the extinction of human civilization today’s “Christian” leaders take complete control over the civil affairs assuring the people of GOD’S protection if they submit to their authority under “the tradition of men” 

4. GOD’S faithful children warn the world of the dangers of allowing disobedient men to rule, citing the blessing of eternal life for those who live under GOD’S Holy Law 

5. The Ark of the Covenant, containing the sacred tables of GOD’S Ten Commandment Law, is restored to public exhibition at the time the Spirit of Christ is speaking through His servants lips (Isa.57:19; Matt.10:19,20) one last appeal to a disobedient church (Revelation 18:1-5) revealing GOD’S perfect Law of government and the consequence for mankind’s rejection of it 

6. Satan counterfeits the second coming “with all power and signs and lying wonders” (Matt.24:23-27; Gal.1:8) demanding the world honor his law of Sunday, the world’s oldest tradition of pagan idolatry 

7. Ruling Christianity responds by legislating persecution against those who give GOD’S final warning, increasing the civil fines and penalties until finally death is decreed (Rev.13:15) 

8. Everyone makes up their mind in their relationship with the Ten Commandment Law (Rev.22:11); and man’s probation closes 

9. The Seven Last Plagues: GOD’S vengeance on the world who have united to force His faithful children into sin, or die (Rev.16)  

10. Christ comes to put an end to the threat, and harvests the earth of every faithful person throughout the ages (Rev.3:11) and carries them home to His Father’s House in Heaven for a thousand years, to review and judge the history of sin in the Earth using the Bible as their measurement (Jn.12:48)
