THE BEFORE AND AFTER When the
Europeans first came to America to establish their religious freedom from papal and Anglican tyranny it was immediately noted
that the American Indian was of stronger stature and of superior cleanliness. While the Europeans demonstrated a vastly superior
technology they lacked the essential knowledge of how to live in harmony with nature and its laws. This required the Indians’
help for their survival in many instances. But with the coming of the
Europeans came the diseases of Europe that infected the Indian tribes causing vast numbers of deaths among the Indians, especially
among the young and the old. And with the premature passing of the older, more experienced and educated tribesmen, a great
loss took place in the knowledge of their heritage and the wisdom of their culture. And over succeeding generations much was
lost that was once common knowledge. Hence
began a relationship between the two peoples that over the centuries brings us to where we are today. America’s industry
assaults the laws of nature that preserve life. History teaches that this denial of nature’s laws always brings a retribution
that corresponds to the degree of man’s assault on the balance of nature: no more, no less, as the Apostle Paul said,
“whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Gal.6:7). Example: the now barren landscape of vast areas
of the Middle East was at one time fertile terrain, lavished with all manner of plant and animal life. GOD has ordained these
visible “symptoms” of the many dangers we face that steps might be taken to avert a future that is completely
uncharted territory. It is uncharted because of the manmade toxins from the chemical industry that have contaminated every
part of the Earth including every human body. The average American has over 100 manmade chemical toxins stored in the body.
Without GOD’S blessing life with the attributes of strength and healing a far worse situation would exist in our health
today. With man’s blind and
selfish meddling with the intricate laws of nature along with his arrogant denial of the moral boundaries for life’s
perpetuation, the overall direction of the world is marked for extinction. Just because the process is slow due to life’s
strength this does not avert the destination. Within the midst of this threat against life’s perpetuation is the world’s
ruling religion seated in Rome. The Bible foretold over 2500 years ago who rules the world today and will continue to have
the lion's share of authority until the 2nd Advent of Jesus Christ. The book of Daniel, chapters 2 & 7 charted the
ruling kingdoms to the close of time: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. This religious system presently overseeing the
moral direction of this world, with their banking monopoly in England and America, overseeing western culture with all associated
businesses, cultural traditions and affections will not change “until Shiloh come” “And he shall reign over
the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” (Gen.49:10; Lu.1:33). But before “the kingdom of heaven” comes to bless
the lives of every creature certain prophetic events must take place. Among the prophecies are several descriptions of how
Rome has charted another future for mankind; a future that denies Bible prophecy and even salvation itself. This is evident
in both the sins that the church refuses to let go of (in the 2nd and 4th Commandments), and their unbiblical fabrications
of prophecy through the covert operatives of the Jesuit Order extending back to the year 1575 when the Jesuit Francisco Ribera
connived the seven year tribulation doctrine to avert the reformers’ accusations against the pope as the great Antichrist
of Bible prophecy. Through Rome’s monopoly in both religion and finance they have been able to finance their fabricated
prophecies and thus secure the religious world’s belief that GOD is leading them.
There are many warnings the Bible gives to the Bible believing, Christ adoring Christian to be alert to the deceptions
that Jesus specifically warned His children to take heed: “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets,
and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Matt.24:24.
Jesus began His most profound prophetic passage with the words: “Take heed that no man deceive you” (v.4). The
Apostles Paul and John gave considerable commentary in their epistles on the spiritual dangers facing every Christian: “Let
no man deceive you” (Eph.5;6; II Thess.2:3; I Jn.3:7). But Paul provided a simple but poetic remedy for the threat:
“Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may
be wise.” I Cor.3:18. These words address the leading problem among men: pride. “A man's pride shall bring
him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.” Prov.29:23. Jesus summed it up: “For whosoever exalteth
himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.” Lu.14:11.
So, how do we not be deceived? Every time the LORD Jesus Christ was pressed by His enemies whether of Satan, demons
or men, He always met the situation with those precious words, “It is written.” Over and over the Bible admonishes
our prayerful reading of the Bible. Said Jesus: “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and
they are they which testify of me.” Jn.5:39. Paul likewise encourages our increased knowledge of the great lessons and
stories of “the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”
II Tim.3:15. The Bible addresses every need and every threat providing every remedy that is so simple a little child can understand.
Said Jesus: “But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.”
But with all of the competing doctrines, views of prophecy, the long lists of dos and don’ts, coupled with the
general laziness of most professing Christians; with all these differing voices, how do we know which is the voice of “the
good shepherd?” The Apostle John gives the answer: “He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk,
even as he walked.” I Jn.2:6. The more we become in tune with Christ the more we will love our fellow man and exert
in that heaven-born love to meet every spiritual and temporal need that is within our capability, however small it may be.
This is the peace and joy promised to every Christian. This is also to be united with a principle that is difficult for us
to uphold; where personal discipline is required to meet the LORD’S lofty standard of excellence: “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. 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? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but
a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth
good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits
ye shall know them.” Matt.7:13-20. In these words the LORD is dealing specifically with the sins of men against “the
law of liberty:” the Ten Commandments. It is one’s obedience to GOD’S Law that determines whether the Presence
of the Holy Spirit resides in the humble suppliant (Isa.59:2; Rom.8:11). The Spirit of GOD measures the light of every man
in accordance with his convictions of conscience. It is by humble striving to live up to conscience that determines who is
safe to bring to everlasting life, and who is not (Rom.2:13-15). In essence, no one will coast into heaven. All must deal
with the enemies without, and the enemy within: an enemy the Apostle Paul called, "the old man" (Eph.4:22). This is where Rome takes center stage once more.
The sins of Rome the Bible says will never be renounced nor repented of. Rome has determined to perpetuate these sins for
eternity. But it is these sins against the 2nd and 4th Commandments that disqualify Rome from Christ’s approbation,
and instead, Rome has always and will always receive the LORD'S rebuke: “Whosoever therefore shall break one of
these least [lesser] commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least [unworthy] in the kingdom of heaven:
but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Matt.5:19. As a result of this belligerence and the church’s
union with the sins of the world the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation have been and will continue to be fulfilled as it
is written of the unfaithful church: “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. Therefore shall her
plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord
God who judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail
her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying,
Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchants of the earth
shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious
stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory,
and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments,
and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves,
and souls of men. And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly
are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her,
shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed
in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches
is come to nought. Rev.18:7-17. This “woman” is the unfaithful church the book of Revelation identifies. The other
“woman” is described as virtuous and blameless in the eyes of heaven, because pride has no place, sin does not
rule, and genuine benevolent love is displayed.
This prophecy will take place simply because the clear words of the LORD Jesus Christ are not acknowledged in the church:
“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. The Apostles never went against the Saviour’s words as so many theologians imply
these days as in the days of old, “saying, peace, peace; when there is no peace” (Jer.8:11). “Know ye not,
that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience
unto righteousness?” “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is
not in him.” Rom.6:16; I Jn.2:4. How the church can get around these words makes no logical or ethical sense. But Jesus
gave us His personal assurance for His Presence in our lives if we believe and obey the call of His voice: “He that
hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I
will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” Jn.14:21.
Before the end of time, Jesus will show His Grace through His faithful children and give one final appeal to those
trapped in false views of GOD: His character, government and purposes. The last call is simple and to the point: “Come
out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached
unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.” Rev.18:4,5. After this last call of faithful Christians to a rebellious
church and a dying world the seven plagues of Revelation 16 will follow. It is at their close that the prophecy will be fulfilled:
“And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou
shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and
shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.” Rev.11:18. This prophecy of retribution is simply because man refuses
to live in harmony with the laws of nature that the American Indians were in tune with. And nature’s laws are tied to
the great law of the universe: the moral science of Symbiosis: GOD’S administration of laws upholding benevolent love,
of which The Ten Commandments stand on the summit.
