XII. The Last Drama

of The Controversy

 

       The Bible-disobedient church whose power and influence spans the world will soon be handed the throne of human government. Fearful events are soon to come threatening the very existence of man, paving the way for the final union of church and state, whose authority will impose on the world’s population a sinful version of religious law. Although "they know not what they do" their blind aim is to do the bidding of Satan not the Savior, Jesus Christ. This is evident by the rebellious stance the church takes in its suppression of the Holy Law of GOD. The Federal legislation of sin already dominates American society, and its religious expression is about to unite with this corruption. The result of this unholy union will bring persecution on all who defy the dogma of "Christian" theology, and this will bring the final wrath of GOD upon our world: "the seven last plagues" of Revelation 16, ushering this present world to its abrupt and utter desolation. GOD’S retribution will usher the swift and utter extinction of life. His "fury" will be seen against the leaders and all who surrender their wills to their jurisdiction. But at the very moment our planet can no longer support life Jesus Christ will appear: He comes at the very brink of global extinction to rescue all who have been faithful to His Law, from both the living and the dead.

       "Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down...the land shall be utterly emptied and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word." [Why must life on earth come to an end?] "Because they [the Apostate Christian rulers in charge over the moral affairs of men] have transgressed the laws [by removing the authority of the Ten Commandments that Christ obeyed unto His death to redeem the human race], changed the ordinance [altered and removed the Sacred Precepts by removing the Second Commandment and discarding the Fourth, replacing it with pagan ritual], broken the everlasting covenant [denied the method GOD ordained for the salvation of man, actually demanding to be saved while living a life of sin]. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth." Isaiah 24:1,3,5,6.

       The unrepentant churches of today will never acknowledge their association with these words describing the nucleus of their true character nor the fate of earth’s destruction as a result of their disobedience. On the contrary, the rulers of Christianity teach that the coming millennial reign of Christ is to usher in a thousand years of temporal peace for the people of earth and not the thousand-year desolation the Bible prophesies in several unmistakable passages. The Apostle Paul specifically warned of the time in history when these false assurances of religious men take hold—when they are given control, "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief." I Th.5:3,4. A peace and safety message is being taught throughout Christendom leading the church into a false sense of security. False expectations rule in today’s religious society no less than when Jesus walked among men. By reading the many Bible passages on "the day of the LORD" you will quickly discover that Christ taught that the millennium of peace takes place in heaven, not on the Earth, while this world will be left in darkness and desolation. Said the Savior so clearly: "My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight…but now is my kingdom not from hence." "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you [in heaven]. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again [at the Second Advent], and receive you unto myself ["in the clouds"]; that where I am [with GOD the Father], there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know." Jn.18:36; 14:2-4. Despite the grand nature of these words, our religious leaders keep fighting to build the kingdom of this world: a world Christ said He would have no association with. Therefore, their kingdom is of this world not the Kingdom of Heaven.

       Jesus presents to us the true course of prophetic history: "But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered the ark. And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet [not a secret whisper as the "secret rapture" teaches], and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds [the compass headings of north, south, east, and west], from one end of heaven to the other." "Our GOD shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him." "His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD," "and every eye shall see Him." Matt.24:37-39,30,31; Ps.50:3, 97:4,5; Rev.1:7.

       At the Second Advent of Jesus Christ, the faithful from both the living and those resurrected from their "sleep" will be carried up by angels to "meet the LORD in the air." They will then depart from the earth, leaving it in a state of darkness and ruin. The prophets of GOD were clearly descriptive of what is to come: "I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void [as lifeless as in the beginning (Gen.1:2)]; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly [like waves of the sea]. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it." Jer.4:23-28.

       What precedes the global desolation of Earth is equally clear: "A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground. [Who does GOD say is responsible in which Christ’s Apostle Peter confirmed (I Pet.4:17)?] Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel. And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape. A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture. And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD. He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger." Jer.25:31-38.

       The Savior confirms the millennium of Earth’s desolation in His Revelation to His Apostle John: "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit [Greek text renders an identical meaning as the Hebrew text, representing a lifeless Earth (Gen.1:2; Jer.4:23)] and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection." Rev.20:1-5.

       The risen saints are to soar with Christ through space to our heavenly home for a thousand years, as the Savior said. As the saints become acquainted with their new homes in the "the New Jerusalem," (homes that will never be taxed, threatened or taken away ever again), the Judgment of fallen angels and unrepentant men is to take place: "Do ye not know that the saints shall judge this world....Know ye not that we shall judge angels?" "A thousand years" is prophesied for this period of judgment, in which every question will be answered concerning the way GOD responded to the mutiny of angels and men. His decisions will be vindicated in every case showing decisively that in every conceivable way GOD worked redemptively in the lives of angels and men, proving beyond a shadow of doubt the value of John’s words, "God is love." I Jn.4:8.

       After the thousand year Judgment, Christ and His saints return, in "the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven," to a barren, desolate earth: "Behold, the LORD cometh with ten thousands of His saints [the redeemed among men], To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." Jude 14,15.

       The saints will then witness the last and final demonstration of evil in its relentless exertion for domination. Jesus raises "the wicked" from the dead whose number has been estimated to be upwards of one hundred billion people. Satan, who was "bound a thousand years" with his vast host of demon angels, regroup and conspire with the countless men, women and children (of the age of accountability) to assault and conquer the city of GOD. They proceed to surround the "New Jerusalem" whose dimensions, according to Scripture translate to be 375 miles wide, 375 miles deep, and 375 miles high: nearly the size of the state of Colorado. Its breathtaking radiance will glow every color of gemstones, literally dazzling the eyes of the vast host of the human family. "And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city." The likes of this army the world has never known! The earth shakes with every step of the march of sinners comprising a battle line over 1500 miles long and many miles deep. As they approach the pearly gates of the city (Rev.21:21) Jesus then makes His presence known to the surrounding host, high and lifted up: "And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it;" and the Judgment begins: "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before GOD; and the books were opened: and another book was opened; which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."

       Those deceived into believing that GOD accepts the sinner in an unconverted, unrepentant state will review the convictions of their own conscience warning them of their intrusion to defile their heaven-born discernment knowing right from wrong. But multitudes will stand before the throne and claim the right of entry: the priests and ministers who demand that their works allow them entry: the beautiful women who only took glory to themselves for what GOD had provided them: the muscular men who likewise lived a life of pride in their vanity. The athletes whose competitive victories, ever striving to the defeat of their fellow men. Then there are the intellectuals (in and out of the church), "ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth" (II Tim.3:7); the scientists and researchers devoting their lives to "science falsely so called" (I Tim.6:20); and all the multitudes who disqualified the presence of GOD from their souls through living a life of sin, forfeiting eternal life for a moment of carnal pleasure, ever indifferent to the needs of others. They acknowledge their denial of their own conscience, through which the Holy Spirit spoke to their sense of judgment, justice, and hope, tugging upon their hearts with convictions of Love. But a million years of life would not have changed that irreversible decision they welded to their hearts, for there is a simple boundary men cross where revision is never achieved and repentance can never come. Jesus identified this as the unpardonable sin of silencing GOD’S voice in the heart (Mk.3:28,29).

       And then, at long last, Satan is finally exposed before them all. At that time the prophecy will be fulfilled: "All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell [the grave], to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners [in the grave]?" Isa.14:10-17. He too acknowledges the just decision of GOD concerning his fate. All bow the knee before Christ "the LORD." But their characters haven’t changed. If they could destroy Christ again they would. Repentance before a loving GOD held no place in their hearts. Apologies often come, but apologies without reformation is no apology at all as Solomon so clearly stated: "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy." Prov.28:13.

       Death by fire ensues: "and fire came down from GOD out of heaven and devoured them." The fire consumes every trace of sin that has ever existed in this world. And this includes those who chose of their own free wills to remain in sin, with no humility, no repentance. "But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men." After "the lake of fire" sweeps the globe of every trace of sin the fire then goes out. Jesus will, at that time fulfill the promise of His Words, "Behold, I make all things new." An Eternal Paradise begins—Utopia is inaugurated, and every ideal of the human heart will find its most lofty expression: "And GOD shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain [for any creature throughout the heavens]: for the former things are passed away."

       Only then will the famous closing words of childhood fables find their truest fulfillment: "And they lived happily ever after."

       The world’s ruling Christian church in Rome: the church where world leaders kiss the signet ring of the pope to gain his audience, this church has taken a hammer and chisel to GOD’S tables of stone, literally fracturing away the Second and the Fourth Commandments: the only ones pointing directly to the LORD Jesus Christ. The Fourth Commandment points to Christ as "the Creator," declaring His Name, His Title, His Authority, and His Domain (Ex.20:8-11). And as the seals of kings throughout history have always declared these traits of rulership so the Fourth Commandment, the seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday) is the Bible’s "seal of GOD" (Rev.7:1-3). It is the seal of the Christian’s faith in Christ’s power to redeem from both sin and the grave, acknowledging His power as He Himself rightfully claimed: "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth" (Matt.28:18). Over 800 verses of the Bible declare Jesus Christ as "the Creator of heaven and earth." And only one commandment honors Him as our Creator: the Fourth Commandment. But the world church refuses to honor Christ as the Creator, and has claimed the divine authority to remove His Authorship of Creation. Various arguments outside of Bible guidelines are always given to promote the legitimacy of the pagan Sunday. Among the leading ones is the question, "How do we know that Saturday today is the same Saturday held by Christ?" It has been astronomically proven that GOD has preserved the seven day weekly cycle since the dawn of Creation. Calendar adjustments have been made but this never interfered with the flow of days. So the seventh-day Sabbath today is the same seventh-day Sabbath held by Jesus, Moses, and Adam (Gen.2:1-3; Lu.4:16; Heb.4:8-12). GOD even assures of its eternal significance in the earth made new: "For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make...it shall come to pass, that…from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD." Isa.66:22,23. In summation, Christ kept Holy the Sabbath day, and we are called "to walk even as He walked." It doesn’t get any more simple than that.

       The other Commandment literally fractured away from GOD’S Ten Commandment Law by the Roman Catholic Church is the Second Commandment. This exquisitely perfect Law points to Jesus Christ as the Source of all "mercy" for "them," GOD said, "that love me, and keep my commandments." Ex.20:6; Jn.14:15. That "mercy," revealed in the Second Commandment could only be granted through the greatest event of all eternity: the day "the LORD our Maker" laid down His life on the Cross of Calvary. Jesus directs us to the Second Commandment when He said, "If ye love Me, keep My commandments." Jn.14:15. Every verse of Scripture ascribing man’s love for GOD directs us to the Second Commandment. The Vatican is proven by their disregard of this Law to have no true love for Him, for true love is evidenced through humble obedience to "all His commandments" (Ps.111:7). Not eight. Not nine. But ten.

7. What did Christ say of those who lead others to disobey the Ten Commandments of GOD?

Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least [Greek word, lesser] commandments, and _______ _________ _____ ____, he shall be called the ________ [Greek word, insignificant—or unworthy] in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

8. What about church ministers and members who innocently did not know they were violating GOD'S holy commandment, but who would have readily kept the Sabbath commandment if given the proper knowledge?

Numbers 15:27, 28 And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he [the sinner] shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering. [v.28] And the priest [representing Jesus Christ] shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance, before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; _____ ____ _______ ____ ____________ ______.

9. Will an irreversible rejection of GOD'S Law keep the professed Christian from The Coming Paradise of GOD?

[v.5] And in this place again, If they shall ________ into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in ___________ _____ ___________: Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. [v.9] There remaineth therefore a _______ [Greek word Sabbath] to the people of God.

12. What will be the result when the Religious leaders in the United States enact into national law the pope's age-old decree exalting Sunday sacredness above GOD'S "holy day?"

Psalm 119:126 It is time for Thee, LORD, ____ _______: for _______ _______ _______ _______ _____ _____.

14. What is the work of GOD'S people during this time?

Isaiah 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people ______ ___________, and the house of Jacob ______ _____.

       Throughout Israel’s history the message of GOD’S servants was unwelcome, for it warned of the eventual destruction of the nation and its people. The prophets were martyred, the righteous taunted, the humble taken advantage of, the poor denied the basic provisions for their essential comfort and survival.

Revelation 18:1-5 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power and the earth was lightened with his glory. And with a strong voice saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 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. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, 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.

15. What is the first of GOD'S judgments to befall men giving the alarm of His displeasure of people choosing sin and its result of death over life with Him?

Amos 2:2 But I will _______ ____ ______ upon Moab, and it shall _________ _____ ____________ of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

       In the opening chapters of the book of Amos, GOD has prophesied that destruction by fire is a fitting judgment for those whose wealth is solely devoted to selfish ends. The fire is sent to the "palaces" of the wealthy; for their indifference to the needs of the suffering populous is, to GOD, "a smoke in My nose." GOD will also send his judgment of fire to the business districts of the cities which are subservient to those CEO’s whose greed is feverish and insatiable. While the rich tend to their insatiable objectives, GOD is pleading the last message and appeal of His gospel "to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people," deciding forever their eternal fate of life or death for every living man, woman and child.

16. What is "the mark of the beast" that GOD warns the human race to avoid at all cost?

Ezekiel 8:14-18 Then He brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. Then said He unto me, Hast thou seen this, 0 son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these. And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house, and behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they ___________ ____ ____ toward the east. Then He said unto me, Hast thou seen this, 0 son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke Me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose [a profane act of defiance]. Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in Mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

       The worship of Tammuz goes all the way back to the age of Nimrod (the world’s first religious king) and the tower of Babel: a time when GOD had to come down and confuse the communication of men by implementing various languages among them (a division that remains to this day) to prevent the global unification of men choosing to forever live a life of sin. Among their sins was Sunday sacredness whose origin is found in the life of Nimrod, who, ancient legend says, ascended to the sun after he died. As we reviewed, his widow, Semaramis, became pregnant. She asserted that Nimrod descended from the sun and divinely impregnated her, producing Tammuz, who was declared the son of the sun god, Nimrod. Throughout history, and in nearly every culture, Semaramis and Tammuz have been worshiped as the Madonna and Child. In the days when the land of Judah was being destroyed, Semaramis was heralded as "the queen of heaven" (Jer.7:18, 44:17) of which, the Roman Catholic Church declares the Virgin Mary as today’s counterpart (being heralded as "Mary Queen of the Universe," having temples today bearing this very name).

       The traditions of Nimrod/sun worship can be found in every ancient culture and continent of earth. Throughout history, Nimrod, the sun god, received various names, but the day of his religious observance never changed: Sunday. In the age of the kings of Israel, the sun gods of "Molech," "Baalim," and "Tammuz," corrupted the sanctuary service that GOD established through His servant Moses. These snares of paganism, adopted by Israel’s priesthood drove GOD from His mercy seat in the temple, forcing His permanent departure from the sanctuary, as described in Ezekiel, chapters 10-11.

       The same disobedience of the children of Israel that drove GOD from their presence and in turn led to their nation’s destruction is being repeated today by the world’s dominant religion, Apostate-Christianity, who merely evangelizes the world to live a life of sin. Keep one thing in mind: "The wrath of God" has always been the removal of His presence. This being confirmed by His words: "Woe also to them when I depart from them!" Hos.9:12. Jesus never stays where He is not wanted, just as He left the country of the Gergesenes when asked to leave (Matt.8:34-9:1). This eventual downfall of the Roman church was guaranteed when paganized Christianity adopted the rest day of the Roman god Attis and overruled the seventh-day Sabbath, given and always upheld by Jesus Christ (Lu.4:16; Jn.8:58). Before the rise of the pagan Roman empire this same sun-god was called Mithra in the Persian empire, whose day of rest, Sunday, was called "the lord’s day." (See also I Cor.10:11.)

17. What is "the seal of GOD?"

Exodus 31:13-17 Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for ____ ____ ___ _______ __________ _____ _____ _____ throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, [for] a perpetual covenant. [v.17] It is ___ ______ between me and the children of Israel _____ ______: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

       The basis of all rebellion lies over the issue of trust. When GOD finished Creation "He rested on the seventh day," trusting in the successful completion of His work by setting in motion a perfect balance within nature that guaranteed the perpetual safety and happiness of all life. The Sabbath hours were a time of solemn joy for GOD because He could rest in the knowledge of His perfect provision for His children for all eternity. Adam and Eve were called to share in the joy of GOD’S holy rest (Genesis 2:1-3).

       The Sabbath was threatened the moment Satan waged war against the human family, in seducing Adam and Eve to share his condemnation before GOD. When our Creator left the courts of heaven and came to live among men, in the person of Jesus Christ, His victory restored the Sabbath rest that was lost through the intrusion of sin. He completed His creative work of redemption for the human race on the sixth day. He then rested in the grave on the Seventh-day. "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." Jn.1:29. The Creator of Life had to exchange His Very Existence and become "the Christ" to restore the Sabbath Joy of His Father: the universal peace that was stolen from Him through the rise of greed in the mind of Lucifer, the once great and holy angel who alone introduced the concept of war to assault the holy tranquility GOD provided to all living things "In the beginning." Through Christ, holy angels and men are now provided with a future and a hope to enter once again the Father’s joy of which the Sabbath is the seal.

       We are called to "rest" in faith that GOD'S work of redemption will be completed and nothing will prevent it of which the Seventh-day Sabbath is "the seal" of the Christian's faith—to repose in your personal recognition that your life has been redeemed from the world’s fate of destruction, and that GOD’S promise is sure when His Word says that He will restore the founding harmony to His Creation on earth. Of this wonder yet to come Paul said, "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." I Cor.2:9.

18. Will the ruling churches of earth ever acknowledge their loyalty to GOD as Creator and Redeemer?

Jeremiah 44:16,17 As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, ____ _____ _____ __________ _____ _____. ____ ____ ____ ___________ ___ ___________ _______ _____ ______ ____ ____ ____ ____ _______, to bum incense unto the queen of heaven [whose counterpart today is the worship of and prayers to the Virgin Mary, being heralded by Catholic leaders as "Queen of the Universe"], and to pour out drink offerings unto her as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals [bread], and were well, and saw no evil.

Revelation 19:19, 20 And I saw the beast [the pope of Rome (Rev.13:17)], and the kings of the earth [the leaders of nations], and their armies, gathered together ____ _______ _____ ________ _____ that sat on the horse, and against His army. And ____ _________ [the king of Christendom, the Roman Pontiff] was taken, and with him _____ ________ __________ [apostate Protestantism] that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. _______ _____ were cast alive into ___ ______ ___ ______ burning with brimstone.

19. What is the moment of history when the world's population has decided to forever obey or disobey the Gospel of Christ?

Revelation 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be _______ ______: and he which is filthy, let him be _______ ______: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

Hebrews 6:4-6 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of GOD, and the powers of the world to come, ___ ______ ______ _____ _______, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of GOD afresh, and put Him to an open shame.

       To "fall away" in the Greek text does not refer to a "backslider" in the church (Jer.3:12) or one who has fallen into sin (Mal.3:6,7). It means to "forever renounce" or "apostatize" one's faith in GOD and His Word. There are too many examples in Scripture of men who fell prey to all manner of indifference and wickedness but who came to know GOD'S voice: leading them to repent of their great and many sins and thus receive pardon, as GOD so mercifully said, "I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto Me; for I have redeemed thee." Isa.44:22. His salvation is not to be trifled with, as is too often the case with Christians, who use the obedience of Jesus as a license to remain in sin. Scripture admonishes us: "Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof." Rom. 6:12.

20. What happens when everyone has made up their mind to either obey or to disobey the gospel of Christ?

Revelation 15:8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of GOD, and from His power; and no man was able to

enter into the temple, till ____ ________ __________ of the seven angels were fulfilled.

And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before GOD, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell upon men ___ ________ _______ out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent [approx. 50-150 lbs. each]: and men blasphemed GOD because of the plague of the hail; for the plague was exceeding great.

The beasts of the field _____ also unto Thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

Amos 8:3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the LORD GOD: there shall be _______ _______ _________ ___ _______ _______; they shall cast them forth with silence.

Jeremiah 25:31-35 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, He will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to ____ ________, saith the LORD. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth ______ _________ ___ _________, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. And ____ ________ ___ ____ ______ shall be at that day from _____ _____ ___ ____ _______ _____ ___ ____ _______ ____ ___ ____ ________: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be upon the ground. Howl, ye shepherds [false ministers of the gospel], and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel. And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.

       How our religious leaders can deny the prophecies of the earth’s utter collapse leading to the Second Advent of Christ defies all reason. Their insanity knows no bounds. It is no different than when Christ was raised from the dead and the Roman guards who witnessed the event rushed to tell the Jewish priests of how an angel came down from heaven, opened the tomb, calling Christ from the grave, and saw Jesus exit the tomb walking in glory. And their response, "Here’s fifty bucks: keep your mouth shut." (Author’s paraphrase of Matthew 28:11-15). It is just as Jesus said, "If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." Lu.16:31

21. When will the Biblically disobedient church and all its followers learn that their chosen path has not led them to everlasting life but rather to an eternal reproach and condemnation?

Zechariah 14:13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up _________ _____ ________ ____ _____ ______________.

       Step by step the Vatican-ordained theocracy exalting the pagan Sunday is taking control over the civil authorities of earth. To give you an idea of the extent of Rome’s power over the world economy, in Muslim Pakistan they work on Friday (Islam's holy day) but they don't work on Sunday. This is the leading reason Pakistan’s leaders are being threatened by orthodox Muslims. Why do the leaders transgress Islam’s holy day of Friday? Because world commerce demands that every day but Sunday is for labor that economic security be maintained. Step by step this religious theocracy exalting Sunday sacredness is forming, but Jehovah is not on the mercy seat of the temple—the pope is (II Th.2:4). Sinful man desires the power of the theocracy but not the laws on which it was founded nor the character of its redeeming qualities.

       All throughout history papal Rome has had others do her dirty work: claiming innocent hands while leading others into sin (Dan.11:21; Rev.13:4). This has always been the danger of uniting church with state. It was the union of church and state that crucified the world’s Redeemer (Jn.19:15). It was the union of church and state that worked to destroy Christ’s faithful followers: the Albigenses, the Vaudois, the Waldensian Christians who live in the mountain regions of Europe and whose missionary work inaugurated the Reformation movement (Rev.12:14-17), the Lollards, the Hussites, the Lutherites, and a host of other names but who were unified in the faith of Jesus, unified that the Word of GOD must always reign supreme. And it will be the union of church and state that brings the final religious tyranny in our generation (Rev.13:15), likewise masquerading as servants of GOD. The hired assassin for the Vatican today will be Rome’s harlot daughter, Protestant America. Rome always comes out smelling like a rose while others take the fall for her; and the U.S. will fall to national ruin when this apostasy is legislated into national law (Ps.119:126).

       But the day is coming when the wicked will realize that Rome is evangelizing the world into universal transgression of the Holy Law of Jehovah (Rev.16:10-14) and the aroma of the rose coming from the Vatican will be discovered to be nothing more than a Glade Air Freshener, masking the stench of the very principle used to crucify the world’s Redeemer: "the tradition of men." Said the LORD, "Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?…Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition." "For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men…Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition." Matt.15:3,6; Mk.7:8,9. In essence, the Bible warns all of us of the condemnation of multitudes of Catholics and Protestants alike because of their worship of and obedience to the Unbiblical religion of the Vatican (Rev.13:16-18). In reality they are merely the continuation of the age-old idolaters of Nimrod, who worship a sinful man and his religion above the GOD of heaven (Rev.14:9,10). At the tower of Babel GOD miraculously prevented the global unification of men. But He will not prevent it today. Sin must be allowed to play itself out that all may see its true objective: the destruction of all life, period. Man’s war against GOD’S righteousness has only one destination: "But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death." Prov.8:36. This is why the prophecy of Christ’s Second Advent is so profound: "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. Now is the time to pray and consider the scope of the grand deception of the end times. For multitudes of professing Christians its discovery will be too late, as the above prophecies testify.

22. Will GOD protect His faithful children during the seven last plagues and from the threat of men who have decreed a death sentence against His faithful saints?

He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noon-day. [v.7] A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but ___ ______ ____ ______ ______ _____. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Revelation 14:3 And they ______ ____ ____ ______ ____ _____ ______ before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

Isaiah 11:6-9 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. (v.9) They shall _____ ______ _____ _________ in all My holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

Isaiah 65:21 And they shall _______ houses, and inhabit them; and they shall ________ vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of My people, and Mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, saith the LORD.

Revelation 21:10-12 And He carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, ____ _____ _____________ descending out of heaven from GOD, Having the glory of GOD: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.

Revelation 21:21-22:7 and the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. And I saw no temple therein: for the LORD GOD Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of GOD did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of GOD and of the Lamb. (22:2) In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there _____ ______ ____ ______ which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for ____ _________ ___ ____ ________. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of GOD and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him: And they shall see His face; and His name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the LORD GOD giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the LORD GOD of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto His servants the things which must shortly be done. Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

       "Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at His word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for My name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but He shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed." "And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy GOD brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy GOD commanded thee to keep the Sabbath day."

 

CommandmentKeepersIcon.jpg

       Commandment Keepers invites every Christian to join the closing work of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and establish twelve member groups within your respective country, heralding the titles: Commandment Keepers Kenyan Assembly, British Assemby, Brazilian Assembly, etc.  As the Bible teaches, the redeemed of earth will come from "every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people." Rev.14:6. And all will have stood faithful to Christ's Words, "But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." Matt.19:17.
       To meet the specific cultural needs of the different peoples of the world, a custom tailored witness is vital for successful evangelism.  While the message of Salvation through the Creator/Christ is universal in its scope, people's cultural affections vary greatly from land to land.  What can bring tears of joy to one group can actually harden the hearts of another.
       You will receive a free booklet containing all the materials needed to succeed in this invaluable type of ministry.
       Two reasons for the need of small church companies at this time in history:
  1. There are six branch ministries, which cover all areas of the closing gospel work, providing each member with an invaluable task.  Teamed up in pairs for each of the branch ministries, none will sit on the sidelines, feeling unuseful, and where each have equal value to the success of the ministry's work. 
  2. Economic streamlining has become an essential factor in the closing work.  As America and other countries proceed in their place in Bible prophecy a structure of ministry must be in place to carry out the Savior's closing work on the minds and hearts of the people just at the time it is needed the most.  
       This efficient, low cost approach to the closing work will be lavished with GOD'S blessing.  Each of these small church companies will be given an eloquent, persuasive testimony by GOD: to share in the most priveleged work on Earth: enlightening the world with His Glory: His redeeming love found in the "truth as it is in Jesus:" as Creator of heaven and earth; what He has done: as bearing the punishment for the sins of men; and what He is doing: interceding on behalf of His faithful children who are continously accused of the devil; and what He will do: deliver His faithful children when He comes again. 
       Through His Presence, Guidance and Intervention, the faith of Bible literate and obedient Christians will swell to a lofty summit, preparing them for the coming of the LORD.  
       Lastly, no tithe is required except to budget your ministry's needs.
