In today’s news commentary Mr. Gary Stearman explains the identity of the Antichrist and the religion he will have.

I agree with his conclusion that it will not be Islam or any other known religion of today. I share his opinion based in the Ezekiel prophecies. Islam will disappear as well as all other religions when the Antichrist takes control of the world.

By the way Barack Obama’s genealogy traces his background to the Romans and Greeks through his mother.

I firmly believe he is the Antichrist!

John Tng of fivedoves.com has written many great articles concerning the information found in Genesis 1;1.

the article was written a few years back, and it is the link to president Obama that makes it very interesting. It is well worth your time to go over the information revealed by the geometry of the triangular number 2701 which is obtained by converting the Hebrew letters found in Genesis 1;1 to numbers. This processes is called Gematria.

“The Secrets of the Ages Revealed in the Pyramid!“Nando

A few years back I became aware of the tripartite nature of men. At the time I learned that we are made up of body, soul and spirit and were formed in the image of God who is also a Trinity, God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. At that time I also learned that the spirit was eternal versus the soul and body which were subject to death and carnal. I had learned also of the carnal versus the spiritual natures of men and that it was through the spirit that one came to be saved and that a war was present all of our lives between the spiritual and the carnal.

In her post Arlene gives a link to a book with an introduction and eight chapters called Salvation of the Soul, Saving of the Life by Arlen L. Chitwood.

I have just read the chapter one and was so enriched as to the depth of this work that I am posting it for all of you to have and read before I finish the other seven chapters

Thanks Arlene for your post.

“For John and all the Doves…“

Hi Y’all….Whew!  I’ve had a busy few hours, and I hadn’t intended to post anything else, but this couldn’t wait.  First, I’ll ask what seems like a fairly simple question to everyone.  Personally, I DID NOT know the answer, and I’m truly ashamed that I didn’t.  It’s my own fault because I didn’t research it, but, then, I didn’t even realize it was a question that needed to be asked.  Anyway…..here’s the question:

What is the difference between “spirit” and “soul” salvation?  There is a HUGE difference….and knowing what these differences are means how we will spend eternity….as a “son” or not.  I kinda think this might be important….and since I didn’t know, and I haven’t heard anyone mention this, maybe y’all need to know about this.  I sure hope you can open the link….it has study chapters which we all need to know.

http://bibleone.net/SOS.htm

Piece taken from introduction: (I kinda cut it up so it would fit)

Many Christians take Scriptures dealing with the salvation to be
revealed and seek to apply them to the salvation that we presently
possess.  And misapplying Scripture in this manner, these individuals
arrive at the erroneous conclusion that it is possible for a saved
person to be lost, which not only casts reproach upon the sufficiency
of the finished work of Christ at Calvary, but also does violence to
numerous portions of the Word of God.

Then, on the other hand, there are those Christians who recognize that
the loss of one’s eternal salvation is not possible, but still fail to
understand distinctions be! tween the salvation of the spirit and the
salvation of the soul.  Most from this group take many of these same
verses and seek to either apply them to the nation of Israel or to
unregenerate individuals, whether Jew or Gentile.  And applications of
this nature not only remove the Spirit’s exhortations and warnings to
redeemed individuals, but erroneous interpretations in one area of
Scripture will often, for the sake of consistency, lead to erroneous
interpretations in other areas.

Well, that’s it for now….maybe I’m the only one who didn’t know this, but I’m sure glad I found out now!!

YsiC,

Arlene

The fact is this; Jesus is the truth, the way and the Almighty God, Creator and sustainer of the Universe. The Bible is truth spoken by God and He keeps His family (the believers) protected and healthy. The testimony below gives validity to the Word.

“The Anti-faith Movement“

Dear friends:

A recent post on the Internet blasted the so-called “Faith Movement” and denigrated all who teach it, expressing great sympathy for its “victims.”

Suddenly I had a flash of revelation that there have been many more victims of the “Doubt Movement,” which pervades much of the church today.  The Doubt Movement is responsible for untold suffering, unnecessary sicknesses, and millions of premature deaths.  If God’s people just believed and acted upon James 5:13-15, many hospitals would be emptied.

This got me to thinking….

The Faith Movement has really been mislabeled.  It should more properly be called the “Faith in Jesus Movement,” or “The Bible Is Really True” movement.

The anti-faith movement should be called the “Jesus Lied” movement, or “The Bible is Not Really True” movement.

Years ago I discovered that Jesus cannot lie (Titus 1:2) and that the Bible is totally true (2 Timothy 3:16).  I made a decision to believe it.  That decision radically changed my life, gave me purpose and hope, and brought multiple blessings my way, including long life and many physical healings.

It has not always been easy.  Many times I have had to steadfastly reject doubt, stubbornly hold on to Scripture in the face of contrary physical evidence, or facts, and believe God, but in every case He was faithful and gave me victory.  By the way, facts may say one thing, such as you are sick, but God’s Truth trumps facts.  If God says you are healed, you are healed.  Remember: “Truth trumps facts.”

Here is a description, with photos, of when God twice healed me of cancer:  http://www.choicesforliving.com/cancerhealings.htm

I am glad I never listened to the anti-faith people, or I would be dead now.  They ought to go join some other religion.  Theirs is not biblical Christianity.

Many more testimonies of supernatural healings of mine and others can be found in Appendix 1 of my book, “The Power,” available free at http://www.choicesforliving.com/book/The-Power-1.pdf (page 111).

As a testimony of the reliability of God’s Word, I will be age 82 this year and I have not been inside a doctor’s office in almost 25 years, not even for a physical.  I have had some physical challenges, but faith in God’s Word always resolved them.

Would you like to be a part of the “Faith in Jesus Movement”?  It’s simple.  All you have to do is to make up your mind to believe Him and what He says (and act upon it), such as:

“Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them” (Matthew 11:24).

Artist’s conception of the rogue planet Nibiru, or Planet X.

By Charles Q. Choi

• Print
• Font:

On Dec. 21, 2012, many doomsday believers fear the apocalypse — anything from a rogue planet smashing into us to our world spinning end over end. However, the world should expect nothing more next year than the winter solstice, the longest night of the year, NASA says.

Many people point to the end of the Mayan Long Count calendar on Dec. 21, 2012 as evidence of the coming apocalypse, but astronomers have been quick to stress that there is nothing to be concerned about.

According to the ancient Mayan calendar, next year’s winter solstice marks the end of a 144,000-day cycle. This cycle, which begins at the mythical Maya creation date, has already been repeated 12 times. The 13th will end in 2012, capping a full 5,200-year Mayan cycle of creation.

This date has long been shrouded in mystery, with many claiming that it will bring destruction to our planet. [End of the World? Top Doomsday Fears]

Rogue planet Nibiru?
One fear is that a rogue planet that has been dubbed “Nibiru” or “Planet X” is supposedly aimed at Earth. Self-proclaimed Nibiru expert Nancy Lieder, who says she is in contact with the aliens from Zeta Reticuli, first said Nibiru would cause widespread disaster in May 2003, only to change it to Dec. 21, 2012.

There is, however, no evidence that Nibiru is real.

“Nibiru is ridiculous because it doesn’t exist — it never existed as anything other than a figment of the imagination by pseudo-scientists who don’t seem bothered by a complete lack of evidence,” astronomer Don Yeomans, manager of NASA’s Near-Earth Object program office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., told SPACE.com.

There is no basis for the claim that it might be lurking behind the sun, as it could not have hidden from observation until now, Yeomans said. If such a planet was headed toward Earth by Dec. 21, 2012, it would already be visible to the naked eye.

Cosmic alignments?
There are also concerns that planets or stars might line up in ways that will transform Earth. For instance, some theorists claim that from our point of view, the sun will cross in front of the plane of our galaxy on Dec. 21. However, the sun already does this twice a year, Yeomans said.

In fact, the sun will eventually cross the plane of our galaxy. However, the sun is about 67 light-years from the galactic plane, so it should take several million years to do so, Yeomans said. Even then, when our solar system finally does cross the plane, nothing special will occur, he added. [10 Failed Doomsday Predictions]

Some also claim that gravitational effects from planets lining up with each other will somehow affect Earth. However, there is no planetary alignment due on Dec. 21, 2012, “and if there were, it wouldn’t cause any problems,” Yeomans said.

The only bodies that have any significant gravitational impact on Earth are the moon and the sun, effects we see as the tides. Tidal effects from other bodies in our solar system are negligible at best, and in any case, we have experienced them for millions of years without notice.

Solar storms?
Solar storms — deluges of energetic particles from the sun — do happen, usually waxing and waning in cycles that last roughly 11 years. When these charged particles collide with Earth, they can trigger auroras and damage satellites and power lines, although not really inflicting any lasting harm, Yeomans said.

There are accounts of a solar “super-storm” slamming into Earth in 1859. Although that caused relatively little damage back then, there are concerns that such a storm might cause far more harm now that our world is more dependent on electronics.

Yet, there is no evidence that such a super-storm will happen on Dec. 21 of next year, Yeomans said.

Flip-flopping Earth?
There is some alarm that 2012 could see the flipping of Earth’s poles — either the planet’s geographical poles, which mark the Earth’s axis of rotation, or its magnetic poles, which our compasses point toward.

But, there is no reason to fear such an occurrence, scientists said, because the moon stabilizes our planet’s spin. The planet’s magnetic poles do flip, but over periods of about 500,000 years, and not suddenly, “but over thousands of years,” with no evidence of a flip on Dec. 21, 2012, Yeomans said.

Even if the planet’s magnetic poles do flip, no real problems would occur, other than the inconvenience of us having to change our compasses from north to south, he added.

Cosmic impacts?
The Earth is always vulnerable to impacts by comets and asteroids, but giant impacts are rare, with the last major collision taking place 65 million years ago, ending the Age of Dinosaurs.

Still, astronomers do monitor the sky for near-Earth objects.

“There are no known near-Earth objects in 2012 that present a credible risk to Earth,” Yeomans said. “None, zero, zip, nada.”

But despite evidence to the contrary, doomsdays theorists have garnered attention, and similar prophecies will continue to proliferate unless scientists become more involved in bringing truth to these outlandish claims, Yeomans said.

Mounting hysteria regarding these unfounded doomsday predictions “will improve only if scientists get more engaged in debunking pseudoscience,” he said.

If you are still here then it is of the most importance that you listen to this video interview by Mr. Gary Stearman and L.A. Marzulli in prophecyinthenews.com that relates to the prophetic scenarios outlined in the Bible.

It looks like 2012 will see many end times prophecy fulfillment.

“The Next Red Flag“

Nando

The article that follows this introduction explains in pretty accurate way the current forms of Christian eschatology. As far as this writer is concerned this is the only valid way to look at the things that pertain to the future. The ability to see into the future is the whole attribute of God and to whomever he chooses to show it to, be it angel or human.

There are other humans, civilizations and religions in the world that claim to be able to do this and as an example we have Muslim eschatology, Mayan, Chinese, American Indians, Nostredamus, Seers like Madame Blavatski and many others which in the opinion of this writer originate from Satan who is the major counterfeiter of the true God of the Bible and the prophecies He has chosen to show us. Satan has lived many thousands of years and posed as many humans as well. Through them and the myriads of fallen angels, demons and wicked spirits he has a pretty well defined idea of the timing and events that will be happening in the future. Some of this events will originate from his plans to oppose God and some from the humans he has influence on.

There in a nut shell is an abstract of what eschatology is. The one of concern to the reader is the one that is true. In my opinion it is important that the reader gets involved in reading first of all the book of Revelation as well as the Bible in its entirety. I suggest that you start in Revelation because it is still mostly in the future, specially from chapter 6 to the end.

It is also my very profound and personal opinion that this part of the book of Revelation will see its beginning before the month of Tishri ends (Sept 29 to October 28 of 2011), please see the past entries of Communication with God. The article below is very long so go to the link for the rest.

“Is Your Eschatology Showing?”

T. A. McMahon

When I became a believer, the most popular Christian book of the day was The
Late
Great Planet Earth, written by Hal Lindsey. It stimulated a great deal of
interest
in biblical prophecy and, in particular, in the doctrine of the Rapture of
the church.
Prophecy and the Rapture were two theological concepts that were foreign to
someone
like me, who had been raised in the Roman Catholic Church. I couldn’t figure
out
what either one of them was about or what they had to do with Christianity.

As I grew in my understanding of the Scriptures, however, I began to get
very excited
about both doctrines. The idea that Jesus could be coming back at any time
to take
me to heaven to be with Him was indeed a blessed hope (Titus 2:12-13). Yet
only
a few years later I noticed that some of my evangelical friends (and just
Christians
in general) didn’t share my excitement–or at least the interest in it
seemed to
be on the wane.

Enthusiasm appeared to be fading into a blasé attitude regarding the
imminent return
of Jesus for His bride. Great expectation wilted to a posture of
semi-confusion:
“He could be returning prior to the Great Tribulation,” or “He may come back
for
us midway through the Tribulation,” or “perhaps at the end of the
Tribulation.”
To keep it from becoming a debate issue among evangelicals, some called
themselves
“pan-tribbers,” meaning pre-trib, mid-trib, post-trib–whatever panned out
would
be fine with them.

A number of things contributed to that attitude. It was recognized that the
timing
of the Rapture was not a doctrine that was essential for salvation, nor was
a belief
in it critical. It would take place for those who were truly born
again–whether
or not they believed that it would, and no matter when they believed it
would take
place. Thus the feeling among many grew that it was no big deal what one
believed.

Some were also intimidated by the rise of anti-Rapture teachers, who were
quite
militant and aggressive in their attempts to prove that the doctrine wasn’t
in the
Bible or even that it was heretical. The problem with these objections is
that they
reflect the thinking of men rather than the teaching of God, something that
is always
a recipe for serious problems (Proverbs 14:12; 16:25). This also raises a
question
(which for most evangelicals didn’t seem relevant 30 years ago but today
begs an
answer) that is quite significant: Is your eschatology showing?

Eschatology is the study of what the Bible teaches about the End Times. It
considers
the events that will take place related to the Second Coming of Jesus
Christ: what
will precede His return, what will happen during His return, and what takes
place
following His coming back to earth. Obviously, since He hasn’t returned yet
(though
some would dispute that), all of the related teachings make up biblical
prophecy.
So, eschatology has to do with what the Scriptures teach prophetically about
the
Last Days.

What, then, do I mean by asking, “Is your eschatology showing?”

Scripture tells us that the just (i.e., justified believers) shall live by
faith
(Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:7, Galatians 3:1, Hebrews 10:38). This means that
what
we believe must be lived out in order for our lives to be fruitful and
pleasing
to the Lord. If our understanding of what the Word of God says will take
place in
the future is not true to the Scriptures, our activities based upon that
misunderstanding
will be unfruitful and even spiritually destructive. I have given some
reasons above
why people avoid eschatological issues, to which I could add that some
regard them
as too far in the future to be of any practical concern or value in their
lifetime.
That’s never been the case, and the practical realities of eschatological
beliefs
are becoming more evident every day.

The most prevalent eschatological teachings in church history are
Premillennialism
and Amillennialism. Premillennialism is the belief that Jesus Christ will
return
to earth in an event known as the Second Coming, which will be at the
beginning
of His thousand-year reign from Jerusalem. Then there is Amillennialism.
Amillennialists
do not believe in a literal thousand-year reign of Jesus on the earth;
rather, He
is said to have taken dominion over the earth right after His resurrection
and now
rules from heaven.

A somewhat related view is that of Postmillennialism, which declares that
Christ’s
Second Coming will take place following His figurative millennial reign from
heaven.

Is the eschatological view of Amillennialism showing? Yes, and it has been
for millennia,
starting back in the fourth century. Augustine, the chief architect of the
major
dogmas of the Roman Catholic Church, is credited with introducing
Amillennialism
in his book The City of God.

To maintain some semblance of biblical veracity, Amillennialists must
spiritualize
nearly all of the prophetic scriptures related to Israel and the Millennium
because
a literal interpretation completely contradicts their eschatology.
Spiritualizing
is a process of interpretation that disregards the plain sense of the text
in order
to ascertain a “higher” meaning, especially one that reinforces one’s
doctrinal
bias. That approach to interpreting the Word of God, however, has had
terribly destructive
consequences. For example, the prophetic scriptures that refer to Israel
have been
spiritualized by Amillennialists to apply to the church. That false doctrine
is
known as replacement theology, although in replacing Israel with the church,
those
who teach such things major on the blessings and rarely if ever apply to the
church
the curses directed at Israel.

Roman Catholicism started the Amillennial ball rolling, and it was continued
by
the Reformers such as Martin Luther and John Calvin, with the difference, of
course,
being their belief that the Protestant church rather than the Church of Rome
had
replaced Israel. Among its other problems, replacement theology has been
instrumental
in sowing the seeds of anti-Semitism within Christendom. The Catholic Church
published
more than 100 anti-Semitic documents between the sixth and twentieth
centuries (see
A Woman Rides the Beast).

Luther, in particular, exemplified anti-Semitism among the reformers. The
vicious
diatribes in his writings such as On the Jews and Their Lies, although not
based
solely on his Amillennialism, were certainly dependent on it.

Calvin’s Amillennialism was the basis for his attempt to create a Christian
utopia
in the city of Geneva, which he controlled. In the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries,
Amillennialism was the breeding ground for Preterism. During the
counterreformation,
Jesuit priest Luis de Alcasar interpreted the prophecies of the Book of
Revelation
as having already been fulfilled in the first century A.D. It wasn’t until
the early
eighteenth century, however, that Preterism, the belief that most, if not
all, biblical
prophecies have been fulfilled, began to be espoused by Protestants.

That, of course, was then–but what about today? Amillennialism is the most
common
eschatological belief among professing Christians. It is the view of Roman
Catholics,
Greek and Russian Orthodox churches, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Anglicans,
Episcopalians,
the Church of Christ, some Independent Baptists, and most Calvinists (with
some
notable exceptions). In the last quarter-century Amillennialism has spawned
Christian
Reconstructionism/Theonomy, a latter-day attempt similar to Calvin’s failed
experiment
to set up the “City of God” in Geneva.

The goal today, however, is far more ambitious as it seeks to take dominion
over
the world. The Reconstructionists, a.k.a. Theonomists, are all about setting
up
the Kingdom of God on earth through the implementation of the Old and New
Testament
laws and principles. An offshoot of Reconstructionism is the Coalition On
Revival,
or COR. This is a movement that made some headway in the decade of the ’90s
through
the support of leading evangelicals and through the political activism of
the religious
right.

Its strategy is to make the Christian worldview dominant in all “spheres of
society”:
education, science, politics, the arts, the military, and so forth. As the
name
more than implies, the eschatology of COR, or Coalition on Revival, is
focused on
bringing about worldwide revival, something that most Christians would find
favorable.
That may be the reason that some highly visible evangelical leaders who do
not hold
to an Amillennial theology–or its offspring–signed the original COR
Manifesto.
As one might expect, the Coalition On Revival is decidedly anti-Prophecy and
anti-Rapture.
The biblical doctrines of Prophecy and the Rapture do not support the
agendas or
goals of the Amillennial-driven COR proponents.

Though Christian Reconstructionism and the Coalition On Revival seem to be
past
their heyday of influence within Christendom, they are regarded by some as
nothing
more than a passing trend. I disagree. Trends such as the Manifest Sons of
God,
the Shepherding Movement, the Word/Faith teachings, the Church Growth trend,
the
Emerging Church Movement, and so on and so forth, come in waves much like an
ocean
wave, which approaches the beach, crests, and then crashes upon the sand,
dumping
whatever debris it carries. What’s deposited by the wave sometimes sticks in
the
sand, while other flotsam disappears back out to sea. That’s the way it is
with
unbiblical teachings and trends that have attracted large numbers of
Christians
throughout church history.

The Kingdom-dominionism of the Latter-rain, Manifest Sons of God movement
that I
mentioned earlier is a classic example. It started in Canada in the
mid-1940s,
and has ebbed and flowed throughout Christendom, particularly among
Pentecostals
and Charismatics. You can see its heretical teachings reflected today in
so-called
spiritual revivals and movements such as the Toronto Blessing, the
Brownsville Revival,
the Kansas City Prophets, the International House of Prayer (IHOP), and the
New
Apostolic Reformation.

Christian Reconstructionism influences and Coalition On Revival concepts are
also
making a modest yet effective return. There is a high-quality apologetics
series
produced by Focus on the Family titled The Truth Project(see TBC 9/11) that
has
been capturing the hearts and minds of young-adult evangelicals throughout
the
country. Significant doctrinal problems arise, however, because a major
“scriptural
worldview” of the series, albeit unstated, is Amillennialism. Some of the
key teachers
are Calvinists. Reconstructionism is never mentioned; nevertheless, the
central
teachings of Reconstructionism and Theonomy are apparent.

Scripture clearly rejects Amillennialism. The Bible foretells that the
imminent
Rapture of the church, the Great Tribulation, the Second Coming, the
Millennial
Reign of Christ, the Dissolving of Our Present Heavens and Earth, and the
Creating
of a New Heaven and New Earth, will all take place, in that order. That
prophetic
biblical scenario, however, does not fit with Amillennialism (or
Postmillennialism)
or any of the other attempts to usher in the Kingdom of God (See Whatever
Happened
to Heaven? Resource Pages).

The true scriptural view is that the biblical events that I just listed will
literally
take place and need to be considered in regard to any plans or agendas of
men or
ministries. We should not expect worldwide revival or a global Christian
transformation–not,
that is, until the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ, because the Bible
declares
that the Last Days will be characterized by great spiritual deception in the
world
and apostasy in the church. Does that mean that we should bail out on the
world?
No. But there is no scriptural basis for believing that the world will be or
can
be transformed through biblical law or biblical principles.

It should be apparent that one’s Amillennial beliefs have practical
consequences
for anyone who lives those doctrines out in his life. However, the same is
true
for those who claim to be Premillennialists, who believe that Jesus must
return
in order to begin His literal one-thousand-year reign on this earth.

What does the Bible say regarding the living out of a Premillennial
eschatology?
First of all, the doctrine is characterized primarily as a believer’s
“blessed
hope”: “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the
great God
and our Saviour Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:12-13). Verse 12 indicates what our
lives
should be like as we are “looking for that blessed hope”: “Teaching us that,
denying
ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and
godly, in
this present world;” John, the beloved, and likely the last of the apostles
to go
to be with Jesus, gives us this exhortation, which no doubt he himself lived
out:
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we
shall be:
but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall
see him
as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even
as he
is pure” (1 John 3:2-3).

Jesus said, “If a man love me, he will keep my words” (John 14:23). And in
Luke
6:46, Jesus posed this question: “And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not
the
things which I say?” We need to examine ourselves to see if we are in the
faith,
once and for all delivered unto the saints.

Paul wasn’t simply passing on some platitudes or a take-it-or-leave-it
suggestion
to young Timothy when he wrote, “But thou, O man of God, flee [sinful]
things; and
follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
Fight the
good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also
called, and
hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. I give thee charge
in the
sight of God…that thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable,
until
the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Timothy 6:11-14).

Our lives need to reflect what Paul wrote as we look forward to Christ’s
appearing.
To that John adds, “…abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have
confidence,
and not be ashamed before him at his coming” (1 John 2:28). Peter not only
wraps
it up for us, he mentions the difficulties involved and then underscores
where
our hearts need to be as we look forward to an event that will be more
exciting
than anyone of us can imagine. He declares, “Wherein ye greatly rejoice,
though
now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold
temptations:
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that
perisheth,
though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and
glory at
the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom,
though now
ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of
glory:
Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls” (1 Peter
1:6-9).

I hope and pray that our true biblical eschatology is showing. Maranatha!

This study was posted yesterday in fivedoves and I missed it. Today another dove made mention to it and I went looking for it.

Yes Pastor Riley Elenin and Nibiru (Planet X) will be visiting the earth neighborhood in the near future and their passing by will cause great destruction and yes they were written in the Bible  and they will cause the upheavals listed in Revelation with the opening of the Sixth seal.

“Farce??“

Farce..??  Nonsense..?? Foolishness..??

By Pastor F. M. Riley

The Question

 

     Just yesterday many of God’s people on the Internet were rejoicing because they were finally able to see Comet Elenin and Planet X for themselves by photographing the Sun with their own cell phone cameras.  Their own photographs confirmed that these two heavenly bodies are already in the solar system or are swiftly approaching the solar system and therefore approaching the earth, exactly as Revelation 8:6-12 predicts.  Anyone with the mental capacity to read, can read these Scriptures for themselves and understand that the earth is to be visited by four judgments coming out of the heavens during the first half of the Tribulation.  Read it for yourself!

     But today some of the same people are downcast, disappointed, discouraged, and defeated because someone writing on “Five Doves” website decided that the images which are being seen in the photos taken on cell phone cameras are neither Elenin nor Planet X, but rather are merely reflections on the lense of the cell phones being used to take the photos.

     What a switch between the elation of yesterday and the defeat of today!  A good example of the “fickle” fallen nature of mankind.  Men and women, including even true believers, are often “blown about” with every wind of change in their situation, Ephesians 4:14.  Feasting on the Manna from Heaven and praising the Lord for His goodness and mercy one day, and dragging themselves through the valley of despair the next day crying out, “Where is God?”  This “fickleness” in human nature makes one wonder why God is so merciful and patient  and longsuffering with us.    

     Folks, whether some want to hear it or not, such inconsistency in the lives of those who claim to be “Christians” is a shameful disgrace to the cause of Christ.  Those who don’t like my saying so, have my permission to write and apologize to me.  Is this stated clearly enough? 

     The real question is not whether the photos taken by cell phone cameras actually show Elenin and Planet X, but rather whether the inspired Word of God predicts such judgments coming on the earth or not.  Does it or doesn’t it?  Well…??

    

Why the Doubts..??

 

     The fact is, there is considerable doubt that the “doubters and skeptics” who have labeled the coming of Elenin and Planet X AS A FARCE AND NONSENSE AND FOOLISHNESS even know what they are talking about.  I have personally heard from several different people TODAY who have taken photos at different places, at different times, at different angles, under different conditions, and who have carefully checked to see that there was no reflective glare on their cameras when they were taking the photos, yet their photos still showed Elenin or Planet X or both of the heavenly bodies near the Sun.  Obviously some of the skeptics and doubters are eager to discredit the whole subject, for it doesn’t “fit” what they want to believe. 

      Who cares whether the photos really show Elenin and Planet X?  I don’t!  Whether the photos do or do not won’t change what God’s Holy Inspired Word has to say about the matter.  What God’s Word has to say is what really counts!  Isn’t it?  Don’t hem or haw or stutter or stammer.  Just answer the question!  Either you believe what God’s Word actually and literally has to say, or you ought to “take down your sign” and quit claiming to be something or someone that you really are not.  We all know what most folks call such “pretenders” so I don’t have to even say the word.   Now “is you is, or is you ain’t” a real true believer?  Well…??

      Dear readers, I have been seriously watching and studying the approach of Planet X in the light

1

of God’s Word for the past 11 years.  I have a six inch thick file on the subject in my file cabinet right now.  I didn’t have to ever see a photo of Planet X [or Comet Elenin] to KNOW that Planet X is real, and especially to know that such heavenly bodies are predicted in God’s Word to come flying past the earth REAL SOON.  God’s Word says so, whether some want to believe it or not!  The inspired prophecies of the Word have been predicting this truth for centuries, but NOW is the “appointed time” for those prophecies to be fulfilled.  How do I know?  I’m so glad you asked…..

 

 The Lord Himself told us they were coming…..

 

     In setting forth The Parable of the Fig Tree, the Lord Himself stated, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away,” Matthew 24:35.  This statement of the Lord is commonly overlooked or ignored, because it is such a simple statement in our English Bible that nearly everyone who reads it assumes that they understand what is being said.   The last time I checked 1 Thessalonians 5:21 and 2 Timothy 2:15 were both still in the Bible.  One of the lessons the Lord has graciously taught me over these past 57 years in His ministry, is to never assume anything where God’s Word is concerned.  Dumb assumptions result in equally dumb theories that do nothing but spread confusion and deception in the ranks of Christianity.  Are you listening? 

     Do our readers really know and understand what the Lord actually and literally said when He made this statement, or do our readers just assume that they know what the Lord said?  Let’s take a serious look at the Lord’s statement and see what He really said. 

     The English words “pass away” in this Scripture are translated from the Greek word, “pareleusomai.”  This Greek word occurs 31 times in the New Testament, and it literally means, “to go past; to pass by; to go past one; to be led by; to be carried past.”  See Thayer’s Greek Lexicon, page 488, Strong’s No. 3928.  In other words, what Christ was literally saying is that at some point in the future the “heaven” would come flying past the “earth,” both the heavens and the earth being unstable in contrast to the permanence of His Word which is established forever, Psalm 119:89.  So in this passage of Scripture the Lord Himself predicted that at some point in the future one or more heavenly bodies would come flying past the earth.  Hello! 

     The Lord also knew that Psalm 102:25-26 clearly predicts that the present order or arrangement of the solar system revolving around the Sun will “perish” and the heavens will be “changed.”  In order to fulfill this prophecy a “change” has to occur in the entire solar system.  It doesn’t require a lot of intelligence to come to this logical conclusion.   So what is the Lord going to use to bring about this “change” in the present order and arrangement of the solar system?  I don’t know!  However, I suspect that such a “change” could be brought about by one or more large heavenly bodies with powerful electro-magnetic and gravitational fields entering into the solar system and literally forcing the planets in the solar system to move out of their present orbits, or perhaps even causing some of them to self destruct.   Well glory to God!  It sure appears that when  the Lord Jesus gave His prophecies, He had in mind events which are on the horizon RIGHT NOW. 

     Our precious Lord, in Luke 21:11, in the exact context of speaking about the events which would precede and signal His coming again for His people, explicitly stated, “And great earthquakes shall be in divers [diverse; different] places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall be from heaven.” 

     The Lord continued this line of thought in the same chapter a few verses later when He explicitly stated, “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken,” Luke 21:25-26.

      Today it is a well known established truth that disturbances which occur in the solar system have a direct effect upon the earth.   For instance, we now know that it is the gravitational pull of

2

the Moon which causes the tidal actions in the seas and oceans of the earth.  Let anything interfere with the gravitational force of the Moon upon the earth and the tides in the seas and oceans will increase accordingly.   The solar flares from the Sun are the cause of the so-called “northern lights.”  Depending on how strong the electro-magnetic energy is in the solar flares from the Sun, the solar flares can interfere with communications, electrical grid systems, the climate and weather systems on the earth, and even effect the tectonic plates of the earth causing earthquakes.   Anyone today who has even casually  observed the movements of the heavens then knows that there is a direct connection between what occurs in the heavens in the solar system and what occurs on the earth.   To deny this connection is “ignorance gone to seed.” 

     Notice that the Lord Himself explicitly stated, “for the powers of heaven shall be shaken,” Luke 21:26.  The English word “shaken” is translated from the Greek word, “saleuo.”  This Greek word literally means, “to shake up; agitate; to cause to totter; to shake thoroughly; to shake down; to overthrow; to cast down from one’s state; to move; to disturb; to stir up.”  See Thayer’s Greek Lexicon, page 567, Strong’s No. 4531.  See also Hebrews 12:25-29 and Haggai 2:6-7.  Yet in spite of the prospect of such prophesied events staring humanity in the face RIGHT NOW, some stubbornly refuse to believe these events explicitly predicted by the Lord Jesus Himself are either coming or even going to happen.    

     But they will!   I remind our readers that the entire Book of Revelation was given to John as a vision by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, Revelation 1:1; 1:8; 1:17-20.  In Revelation 8:7-12 the first four judgments under the sounding of the trumpets are poured out upon the earth as each of the angels sound their trumpets.  Each one of these four judgments are brought about by something from out of the heavens falling upon, passing by, or otherwise effecting the earth.  Notice also that each of the judgments follows one behind the other, exactly as we presently see Planet X following Elenin and the Lord only knows what is following Planet X.  Is this all just coincidence?  I don’t think the Lord Jesus Christ was lying when He gave us these prophecies!  Do you?       

     

     The Apostle Peter verified the Lord’s prediction by explicitly saying, “But the day of the Lord  [the Tribulation] will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up,” 2 Peter 3:10. 

     This inspired Apostle used the exact same Greek word [pareleusomai…”pass away”] that the Lord used in Matthew 24:35.  In other words, the Apostle Peter clearly states that the Tribulation will begin when one or more heavenly bodies come flying past the earth making “a great noise” as they pass.   This will likely occur when the entire earth is plunged into three days and nights of total darkness, thereby fulfilling Christ coming to resurrect and rapture His New Covenant believers to glory “as a thief in the night.” 

     By the way, I did receive an email from a fellow telling me that it would be “impossible” for people on the earth to hear a planet or other heavenly body passing by the earth through space for, according to him, “space is a vacuum which cannot transmit sound.”  Whoo boy!  Then I suppose the ancient Sumerians were just bald faced liars when they recorded how the inhabitants of the earth trembled in stark terror as they watched and HEARD Planet X passing by the earth some 3,630 years ago.   If I could buy some of these proud hearted “know-it-alls” for what they are really worth, and sell them for what they think they are worth, I would never have to be concerned with funds for the Lord’s work again.  God have mercy on such “willing ignorance.”  I wonder if this fellow has ever read Isaiah 24:18 and 29:6, and if so does he believe them?

 

     The Prophet Isaiah also verified the Lord’s prediction in his inspired writings.  See Isaiah 13:1-22 in which Isaiah explicitly states that “the day of the Lord…..shall come as a destruction from the Almighty,” 13:6.  In the chapter Isaiah describes in detail the judgments that the Lord will bring

3

upon the earth during the Tribulation.  In 13:3-5 the Lord says that He has commanded His  “sanctified ones,” and that He has called them “from the end of heaven” as “the weapons of His indignation.”  Now isn’t this a “coincidence”?  Or is it?  Is it possible that the Lord is referring to bringing Planet X and other heavenly bodies into our solar system from the blackness of deep outer space to use in bringing judgment upon the wicked of this earth?  Read 13:10 and think about it!  Whatever the Lord is bringing “from the end of heaven” is most certainly going to cause great earthquakes and destruction upon  the earth and even move the earth itself out of its present orbit,

13:13-14.  I would also suggest that our readers carefully study Isaiah 24, where the prophet again clearly connected chaos in the heavens with terrible judgments being brought upon the earth.

 

     Folks, it is obvious that these visitors from out of the heavens are coming, whether some want to believe it or not.   Wicked unbelief will not stop these clearly predicted events from happening.   

     Yes, I am well aware that Elenin and Planet X are not mentioned by name anywhere in the Bible.  Does that mean that they don’t exist just because they are not named in the Bible?  Does that mean that the Lord God is not going to use them to fulfill the prophecies of His Word just because He didn’t call them by name?  Many hundreds of things that we see and use every day are not mentioned by name in the Bible.  Does that mean they don’t exist?   How about you?   Is your name recorded in the Bible?  If it isn’t, does that mean you don’t exist?  Silliness gone to seed! 

      The inspired Word explicitly states that the Lord “…..worketh all things after the counsel of His own will,” Ephesians 1:11.   Does this then mean that the arrival of Comet Elenin and Planet X into the solar system right at this particular time in human history is not included in the “all things?”   Well…??  Get serious about believing God’s Word or take down your sign! 

     Mentioning “this particular time” reminds me that…….

 

The Lord Himself told us WHEN these things were coming…….

 

     Oh yes He did!  I’m not referring to the “day and hour,” so some of our readers don’t need to go

into hysterics.   What I am referring to us the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ Himself explicitly and

plainly stated in The Parable of the Fig Tree,

     Matthews Gospel…….“So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, KNOW that it is near, even at the doors.  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled,” Matthew 24:33-34.

     Marks Gospel…….“So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, KNOW that it is nigh, even at the doors.  Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done,” Mark 13:29-30.

     Lukes Gospel…….”So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, KNOW ye that the KINGDOM OF GOD is now nigh at hand.  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled,” Luke 21:31-32. 

      Now how about a little serious Bible study?  The words translated as “all these things” in Matthew and “these things” in Mark and Luke literally mean “all at the same time.”  In other words, the Lord Himself explicitly said that when the time would come when everything He had predicted to occur in these chapters [earthquakes; famines; pestilences; one ethnic group pitted against another ethnic group; nation against nation; wars and rumors of wars; signs from the heavens; etc] is occurring all in the same period of time then God’s people [true believers] could KNOW that the “KINGDOM OF GOD” is staring humanity in the face!  

     Oh yes it does mean this!  This is not just my “interpretation” or my “opinion.”  Look up the meaning of the Greek words for yourself in your own Concordance or Lexicon.   See Thayer’s Greek Lexicon, pages 491-493, Strong’s No. 3956.  Thayer’s says that the word “all” as used in these passages and the Greek tense in which the word occurs, specifically means “these things all taken

4

together.”  But this is by no means the end of the matter…..

     The Lord Himself then reinforced the truth He stated about “all these things” by referring to  “This generation” in all three of these gospels.   No, He was not referring to the generation living at the time He was on earth giving the prophecy.  Again, look this expression up for yourself in your own Concordance or Lexicon.  Thayer’s Greek Lexicon, in referring to “this generation” as used in these passages, explicitly states, “the whole multitude of men living at the same time: used especially of the Jewish race living at one and the same period.”  See Thayer’s, page 112, Strong’s No. 1074. 

     In the context of The Parable of the Fig Tree the Lord Jesus Christ is referring to “the generation” that is living when the fig tree, typifying the nation of Israel [Jeremiah 24:5-7; Hosea 9:10], is re-planted in her land [re-established as a nation…1948] and then begins to put forth leaves [expands her territory…Six Day War, 1967], Matthew 24:32-34.  It is “this generation” which shall not die off or pass away until “the kingdom of God” [Luke 21:31-32…Millennial Kingdom] is established on the earth.   Praise the Lord!  Glory to God!  Hallelujah! 

     Beginning with the year that either one of these historical events occurred, 1948 or 1967, and counting forward, it then ought to be obvious that we believers living today are swiftly approaching the end of these time periods set forth by the Lord Himself.  Only seven years remain in either one of these two time periods.   What is the prophetical significance of this for our readers?

     In 1948 Israel was reestablished as a nation for the first time since 70 A.D.; 1878 years.   If we move forward using the time when Israel changes their own calendar each year, Rosh HaShanah, the 1^st day of the 7^th month on the Jewish calendar, then from Rosh HaShanah 1948 to Rosh HaShanah 2011 will complete exactly 63 years.   The 64^th year will begin on Rosh HaShanah. 

     Folks, I firmly believe that the final seven years are the seven years of the Tribulation and are reserved for Israel, and for God’s judgment upon the Christ rejecting Gentile peoples of the world, Daniel 9:24-27.  63 + 7 = 70.  “70” is the Bible number for “the restoration of Israel.”  The Lord Jesus Christ was 30 years of age when He began His public ministry, Luke 3:23.  This left 40 years to be completed in a 70 year period before Israel was taken away from being a nation.  Now here at the end of this present age we are living today in another 70 year period which began with Israel’s restoration as a nation and will end in seven more years with the “the Israel of God” being restored to a right spiritual relationship with the Lord.   Glory to God!  Hallelujah!  Praise the Lord! 

     I would be negligent to our readers if I didn’t also point out that if the current cycle of events were to go one more year to Rosh HaShanah, 2012, this whole numerical pattern explicitly set forth in God’s Word  would be totally “fouled up.”  Think about it! 

     Now what did the Lord Himself tell us about this final generation?  He told us explicitly and plainly that “all these things” which He prophesied will come to pass or be fulfilled and “the kingdom of God” will be established on the earth within “this [final] generation.”  The Lord Himself clearly and explicitly stated in Matthew 24:35, Luke 21:11, 21:25-26, and Revelation 8:7-12 that this includes one or more heavenly bodies flying past the earth or even falling upon the earth, causing great destruction and death upon the earth.  Is this plain enough?

     The Lord also explicitly told us believers, “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh,” Luke 21:28.  Compare Romans 8:23.    

In view of these Truths…….

 

    So if this whole subject of Elenin, Planet X, Nibiru, or any other heavenly body flying past or even falling upon the earth and causing great death and destruction is, in the opinion of some, just A FARCE, FOOLISHNESS, AND NONSENSE, then I have a suggestion for any and all of our readers who feel that way…….   Just tear these utterances of the Lord Himself out of your Bible, throw them in the trash, and tell God that you don’t believe this is ever going to happen and that the Lord just lied or was mistaken when He Himself predicted that they were going to happen.

5 

     Do I really expect some believers to do this?  No!  Not if they really are true believers! 

     Then why did I even bother to write this study?  I wrote this whole study to fulfill my obedience as a “man of God” to the inspired command given to Timothy and by example to every true Christian minister, to “reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine [teaching]; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;   And shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables,” 2 Timothy 4:2-4.

     Folks, I am sick to my stomach of those who profess to be true believers viciously attacking and demeaning other true believers because “They don’t see things like I see them!” or “What I believe is correct and everyone else is wrong!” or “The Lord told me, so I can’t possibly be wrong.”  God have mercy on such willful ignorance and wickedness! 

     Have true believers forgotten the Lord’s own explicit command?  

     “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.  By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another,” John 13:34-35.           

     Have true believers forgotten the inspired admonition of Paul?

     “But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:  From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love,” Ephesians 4:15-16.

     I am not for a minute suggesting that true believers compromise or “water down” the truth of God’s Word.  God forbid!  My prayer is that the Lord will raise up more true believers who will “earnestly contend for the faith,” Jude 3.  But I am saying that true believers are all members of the same family and brothers and sisters in Christ.  When we disagree, just as members of any family will disagree from time to time, is it necessary to cut one another down, to speak to one another and about one another and against one another viciously and meanly and hatefully?  

     This kind of language might [???] be okay when we believers are dealing with avowed enemies of the truth who hate us, hate our God and Savior, hate our Bible, and hate everything we stand for, and who  rail against us in the crudest and filthiest of language.  But those are not the people I have in mind!  I am talking about relations between God’s people; true believers.  

     Are some true believers unable to say what needs to be said or at least what they think needs to be said, to another true believer without getting ugly and mean about it?  Are true believers simply unable to discuss different viewpoints on the Scriptures without becoming mean, ugly, proud hearted, arrogant, disrespectful, and hostile towards a fellow believer?   Well…???

 

Conclusion

 

     By God’s grace I’ve set my point in this study before our readers, while also trying to get across the great truths of God’s end-time message, and I have done so whether some like what I’ve had to say or not.   May the Lord bless the truth of His Word and also carry this appeal home to the hearts of all of my fellow believers who read this message.  I close with God’s own precious word,

     “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren…….Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren,” 1 John 3:14-16.
