Lamentations 2: 
13What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?

This is the place where orthodoxy is invaded by reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bolded passage from yesterday’s letter was, “2And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you looked as I did you saw that there was an earthquake last night in Ica, Peru.  Ica is a place that is most well-known for a collection of stones found there.  The stones contained many engravings that contradicted the modern understanding of history and therefore are dismissed as a hoax. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the inquisitive, as I am, you will know that area as close to Tiwanaku which is thought to be one of the oldest cities on the planet.  The meaning of the name Tiwanaku is unknown but the modern name is thought to be from the Amara term taypiqala, meaning, stone at the center.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I translate the word as closely as possible into Hebrew I get ta’avah meaning, a limit, and nakar meaning, look intently at.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You decide what it means.  It is either nothing or it isn’t.  Everything can be dismissed based on the evidence that it doesn’t fit into what you believe, but that doesn’t make it truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should do a search of these two places and at least inquire.  Open your mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a place in the scriptures that uses as a part of it the word taavah.  It is Kibroth-hattaaavah and has the meaning of, graves of the lusting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This place is where the people weren’t satisfied with the manna and wanted flesh.  It is in Numbers 11.  In verse 23 the LORD says, “Is the LORD'S hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the letter yesterday I prayed for an invasion of reality.  The word wasn’t enough for you and therefore I asked for more.  I will confess with you that I asked for more.  LORD, forgive us.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, please don’t deny the Power or the reality.  I know the truth and this is the limit of this age of ignorance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;24God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; &lt;br /&gt;25Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; &lt;br /&gt;26And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; &lt;br /&gt;27That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: &lt;br /&gt;28For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. &lt;br /&gt;29Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. &lt;br /&gt;30And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: &lt;br /&gt;31Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 66, 2 Timothy 3, Ephesians 4, Psalms 100&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-572416860579640845?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/572416860579640845/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/uncomfortable-reality.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/572416860579640845'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/572416860579640845'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/uncomfortable-reality.html' title='Uncomfortable Reality'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-6123140970253195412</id><published>2012-01-29T09:50:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-29T10:12:59.357-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Come, see the place where the Lord lay.</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;29 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 78&lt;br /&gt;32For all this they sinned still, and believed not for His wondrous works. &lt;br /&gt;33Therefore their days did He consume in vanity, and their years in trouble. &lt;br /&gt;34When He slew them, then they sought Him: and they returned and enquired early after God. &lt;br /&gt;35And they remembered that God was their rock, and THE HIGH GOD their redeemer. &lt;br /&gt;36Nevertheless they did flatter Him with their mouth, and they lied unto Him with their tongues. &lt;br /&gt;37For their heart was not right with Him, neither were they stedfast in His covenant. &lt;br /&gt;38But He, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned He His anger away, and did not stir up all His wrath. &lt;br /&gt;39For He remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. &lt;br /&gt;40How oft did they provoke Him in the wilderness, and grieve Him in the desert! &lt;br /&gt;41Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. &lt;br /&gt;42They remembered not His hand, nor the day when He delivered them from the enemy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 51&lt;br /&gt;1Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 27&lt;br /&gt;60And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. &lt;br /&gt;61And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. &lt;br /&gt;62Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, &lt;br /&gt;63Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. &lt;br /&gt;64Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. &lt;br /&gt;65Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. &lt;br /&gt;66So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 28&lt;br /&gt;1In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; 2And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;3His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: &lt;br /&gt;4And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. &lt;br /&gt;5And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. &lt;br /&gt;6He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 66&lt;br /&gt;1Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool: where is the house that ye build unto Me? and where is the place of My rest? &lt;br /&gt;2For all those things hath Mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at My word. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is time to work.  I told you once how you would know.  At that point it will be too late for some. And many will say unto me Lord, Lord and I will say unto them depart from me ye workers of iniquity, I never knew you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalm 6&lt;br /&gt;1O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. &lt;br /&gt;2Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. &lt;br /&gt;3My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long? &lt;br /&gt;4Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. &lt;br /&gt;5For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? &lt;br /&gt;6I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. &lt;br /&gt;7Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. &lt;br /&gt;8Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. &lt;br /&gt;9The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. &lt;br /&gt;10Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Corinthians 4:19&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-6123140970253195412?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/6123140970253195412/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/come-see-place-where-lord-lay.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/6123140970253195412'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/6123140970253195412'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/come-see-place-where-lord-lay.html' title='Come, see the place where the Lord lay.'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-392009162244558246</id><published>2012-01-27T08:43:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-27T08:43:47.350-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Time for a Change</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;27 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you SEE the last several debates?  I don’t think I am going to watch any more of them.  They have proved that this vetting process performed by those who are destroyers and haters of our nation will produce a candidate as unqualified as we already have.  I am not going sit and continually watch the degradation of the process in this way.  These guys continually showing up for the same intentional diminishing shows an almost disqualifying lack of discernment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need to reconsider the course we are on.  I think it may be time to change the focus again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father, I have been giving these destroyers the benefit of the doubt that they just hadn’t understood it yet.  I think the truth is they have fully understood everything You have said and have rejected it in favor of their own way.

I searched the transcripts of the president’s speech and he talked of fairness several times.  Here is one of his quotes, “We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by. Or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said these are “American values.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fairness is when everyone “plays by the same set of rules.”  Is this what Obama and his ilk have stood for or stand for or believe in?  No, not even close when the statement is thought of in its truest sense.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you look at the rest of the statement and knowing that he is ever changing the rules we see the truth.  In the Body Armor business a “fair shot” means a shot within a defined set of parameters, usually a defined velocity range.  That is very close to the context meant by Obama, but it is he that sets the parameters of what is fair.  His definition of what is fair in an ever moving target constantly being adjusted, by changing and differing sets of rules based on what these central planners, these redistributionist demagogues, determine is “fair” today.  This definition of fair is marked by self-interest, advantage and unequal reward or punishment based the relationship to the rule makers.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore the truth is that the “same rules” he speaks of are that the rules will be different as needed to achieve his definition of fairness.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book of James speaks of not being a respecter of person, meaning truly the same rules for everyone no matter their position.  That is fairness in all realms among civilized people.  That is what is meant when John Adams said we have, “a government of laws, not of men.”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Federalist 62 defines this, as I have said many times.  The deception is this is exactly what Obama wants you to think he is saying we should “restore.”   The reality of his action and their outcome are exactly what is warned against.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;“The internal effects of a mutable policy are still more calamitous. It poisons the blessing of liberty itself. It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is to-day, can guess what it will be to-morrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another effect of public instability is the unreasonable advantage it gives to the sagacious, the enterprising, and the moneyed few over the industrious and uniformed mass of the people. Every new regulation concerning commerce or revenue, or in any way affecting the value of the different species of property, presents a new harvest to those who watch the change, and can trace its consequences; a harvest, reared not by themselves, but by the toils and cares of the great body of their fellow-citizens. This is a state of things in which it may be said with some truth that laws are made for the FEW, not for the MANY. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In another point of view, great injury results from an unstable government. The want of confidence in the public councils damps every useful undertaking, the success and profit of which may depend on a continuance of existing arrangements. What prudent merchant will hazard his fortunes in any new branch of commerce when he knows not but that his plans may be rendered unlawful before they can be executed? What farmer or manufacturer will lay himself out for the encouragement given to any particular cultivation or establishment, when he can have no assurance that his preparatory labors and advances will not render him a victim to an inconstant government? In a word, no great improvement or laudable enterprise can go forward which requires the auspices of a steady system of national policy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the most deplorable effect of all is that diminution of attachment and reverence which steals into the hearts of the people, towards a political system which betrays so many marks of infirmity, and disappoints so many of their flattering hopes. No government, any more than an individual, will long be respected without being truly respectable; nor be truly respectable, without possessing a certain portion of order and stability. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PUBLIUS.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;James 5&lt;br /&gt;4Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. &lt;br /&gt;5Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. &lt;br /&gt;6Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. &lt;br /&gt;7Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. &lt;br /&gt;8Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. &lt;br /&gt;9Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. &lt;br /&gt;10Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. &lt;br /&gt;11Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. &lt;br /&gt;12But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now look at the world and see this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeremiah 36:16 -&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 11&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-1702166413880784785?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/1702166413880784785/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/jesus-christ-lord-is-25january-2012.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/1702166413880784785'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/1702166413880784785'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/jesus-christ-lord-is-25january-2012.html' title='What is fair?'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-2275242309896022708</id><published>2012-01-24T09:36:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-24T19:34:04.938-05:00</updated><title type='text'>treasure in heaven</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;24 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonight rather than listening to the demonstration of the classic definition of insanity aimed at the destruction of the nation, the world and therefore all humanity lay up some treasure in heaven and read through the following.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you read Matthew 11 yesterday you read the Lord telling of the prophesied coming of Elijah, if they would receive it.  The specific reference is to Malachi 3 &amp; 4.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The full understand of this is in the repeated pattern.  John the Baptist and the Lord Jesus the Christ where patterned through Elijah and Elisha.   The same pattern is repeated in Revelation 11 and 12 where there are two witnesses that are described as being lifeless until the Spirit raises them into heaven in a cloud and One is born to the woman in Chapter 12.  This is the same pattern we see in Daniel of Gabriel and Michael (also in their New Testament pattern) and is describe in Daniel 12 as three being one on each side of the bank of the river and one on the water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the other keys to understanding this is in when reading Malachi 3 and it says “My Jewels,” it is direct reference to Exodus 19:5 and the word translated “peculiar” is the same as is translated “Jewels.”  This is also describing the same preparation as is patterned in these other chapters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, the reading list goes like this; Matthew 11, Malachi 3 &amp; 4, 2 Kings 2, Revelation 11 &amp; 12, Daniel 12, and Exodus 19. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few other points of note are that John the Baptist’s head was removed as is mentioned in 2 Kings 2 of Elijah from Elisha.  Think of this in the context of what is said by the Lord of John in Matthew 11 and the context of these other chapters.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then understand the meaning of what is transpiring in the world right now to be the fulfillment of Revelation 11 &amp; 12.  And if you have your TV on and watching without the sound understand that what you are seeing in what is written in Revelation 12:15.  But as it is written the world condition and reality are in total contradiction to the words of the flood of lies.  Therefore, expect verse 17.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 115 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-2275242309896022708?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/2275242309896022708/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/treasure-in-heaven.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/2275242309896022708'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/2275242309896022708'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/treasure-in-heaven.html' title='treasure in heaven'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-5060060778247746559</id><published>2012-01-23T09:33:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-23T09:56:01.646-05:00</updated><title type='text'>1 Peter 4 &amp; 5</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;23 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who is it that receives?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James 1:4 says that if anyone lacks wisdom and asks God for it he will be given it.&lt;br /&gt;5If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is so much said here.  First the verses prior tell of what is to be accomplished just as the verses that follow tell how to get there.  Verse 5 includes several premises that are also usually overlooked; an acknowledgement that there is a lack, and then the acceptance of what is given when it is.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word “upbraideth” is from the Greek word oneidizo.  It is used most often when the Lord is being reviled and defamed in disputations of His identity.  To really understand the word and what is being said you need to look at the “supposed” contradiction to the statement when the Lord is documented to have “upbraided.”  They are both instances where those who received what they had asked for didn’t believe even after they had, even disputing with those who did believe.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 11&lt;br /&gt;14And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. &lt;br /&gt;15He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. &lt;br /&gt;16But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, &lt;br /&gt;17And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. &lt;br /&gt;18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. &lt;br /&gt;19The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children. &lt;br /&gt;20Then began he to &lt;b&gt;upbraid&lt;/b&gt; the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: &lt;br /&gt;21Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. &lt;br /&gt;22But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. &lt;br /&gt;23And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. &lt;br /&gt;24But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee. &lt;br /&gt;25At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. &lt;br /&gt;26Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. &lt;br /&gt;27All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. &lt;br /&gt;28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. &lt;br /&gt;29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. &lt;br /&gt;30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark 16&lt;br /&gt;14Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and &lt;b&gt;upbraided&lt;/b&gt; them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should look at all the other times the word is used and translated differently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In James 1:6 we are told that if any man  “waver” he will not receive.  &lt;br /&gt;6But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. &lt;br /&gt;7For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. &lt;br /&gt;8A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is saying that the man will receive nothing because he will not believe it when does receive and neither does he really believe he will receive when he asks.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word translated as “wavereth” is translated as “staggered” in Romans 4:20.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. &lt;br /&gt;18Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. &lt;br /&gt;19And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: &lt;br /&gt;20He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; &lt;br /&gt;21And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. &lt;br /&gt;22And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. &lt;br /&gt;23Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; &lt;br /&gt;24But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; &lt;br /&gt;25Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is also a defining word “differ” in 1 Corinthian 4:7 were we are told that all we have we are given and then if we are given it why do we glory as if we earned it and it wasn’t a gift of grace.&lt;br /&gt;You should read the chapter again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same word is translated as “discern” in Matthew 16:3.&lt;br /&gt;1The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. &lt;br /&gt;2He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. &lt;br /&gt;3And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? &lt;br /&gt;4A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;12And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that He had exalted his kingdom for His People Israel's sake.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 75  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-5060060778247746559?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/5060060778247746559/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/1-peter-4-5.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/5060060778247746559'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/5060060778247746559'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/1-peter-4-5.html' title='1 Peter 4 &amp; 5'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-6763982827598304049</id><published>2012-01-22T10:18:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-22T10:18:41.732-05:00</updated><title type='text'>born into the world</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;22 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The epiphany, do you see the origin of all light?  The creation of the second man is what it is all about.  Do you see it yet?  There is no question as to the outcome, there is only the finding of those who will learn and understand.  Who will see the light and thereby be born as the new creation in God’s image?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James 1&lt;br /&gt; 17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. &lt;br /&gt; 18Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. &lt;br /&gt; 19Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: &lt;br /&gt; 20For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. &lt;br /&gt; 21Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. &lt;br /&gt; 22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. &lt;br /&gt; 23For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: &lt;br /&gt; 24For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. &lt;br /&gt; 25But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luke 12&lt;br /&gt;  8Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: &lt;br /&gt; 9But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. &lt;br /&gt; 10And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. &lt;br /&gt; 11And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: &lt;br /&gt; 12For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 John 2&lt;br /&gt; 18Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. &lt;br /&gt; 19They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. &lt;br /&gt; 20But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. &lt;br /&gt; 21I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. &lt;br /&gt; 22Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. &lt;br /&gt; 23Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. &lt;br /&gt; 24Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. &lt;br /&gt; 25And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. &lt;br /&gt; 26These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. &lt;br /&gt; 27But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. &lt;br /&gt; 28And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. &lt;br /&gt; 29If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 16&lt;br /&gt; 7Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. &lt;br /&gt; 8And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: &lt;br /&gt; 9Of sin, because they believe not on me; &lt;br /&gt; 10Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; &lt;br /&gt; 11Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. &lt;br /&gt; 12I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. &lt;br /&gt; 13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. &lt;br /&gt; 14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. &lt;br /&gt; 15All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. &lt;br /&gt; 16A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. &lt;br /&gt; 17Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? &lt;br /&gt; 18They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith. &lt;br /&gt; 19Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; 20Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. &lt;br /&gt; 21A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; 22And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. &lt;br /&gt; 23And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 39&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-6763982827598304049?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/6763982827598304049/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/born-into-world.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/6763982827598304049'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/6763982827598304049'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/born-into-world.html' title='born into the world'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-6958205645570985153</id><published>2012-01-21T09:19:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-21T09:28:04.046-05:00</updated><title type='text'>You shall Know the Truth and Truth shall set you Free</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;21 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you get it?  The epiphany is the power.  The teaching, the sowing, is the power of God, it is the creation of man.  This is Jerusalem, grasping the simplicity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Corinthians 4&lt;br /&gt;18Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you. &lt;br /&gt;19But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power. &lt;br /&gt;20For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. &lt;br /&gt;21What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are two Greek words that are translated as “power” the majority of the times the word appears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One is exousia as in authority that is given.  The other is dunamis as in an enabling force.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first is used in Acts 26:18 and is also a reference to the authority given to Satan. This authority is only granted temporarily as part of God’s plan for teaching man the answer to the great question of why we should listen and learn from Him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acts 26&lt;br /&gt;18To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here we have the Spirit referencing the beginning and ending of Job. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The authority granted.&lt;br /&gt;Job 1&lt;br /&gt;12And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The true power seen.&lt;br /&gt;Job 41&lt;br /&gt;12I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the creation of man.  It is a very basic teaching technique. &lt;br /&gt;Tell me, show me, walk through it with me, watch me do it and then just check periodically to make sure I am continuing to do it correctly.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This can also be seen in 2 Timothy 3 &amp; 4.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. &lt;br /&gt;2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, &lt;br /&gt;3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, &lt;br /&gt;4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. &lt;br /&gt;6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, &lt;br /&gt;7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. &lt;br /&gt;9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was. &lt;br /&gt;10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, &lt;br /&gt;11Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. &lt;br /&gt;12Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. &lt;br /&gt;13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. &lt;br /&gt;14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; &lt;br /&gt;15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. &lt;br /&gt;16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: &lt;br /&gt;17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in 2 Peter 2&lt;br /&gt;1But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. &lt;br /&gt;2And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. &lt;br /&gt;3And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 69&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-6958205645570985153?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/6958205645570985153/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/you-shall-know-truth-and-truth-shall.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/6958205645570985153'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/6958205645570985153'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/you-shall-know-truth-and-truth-shall.html' title='You shall Know the Truth and Truth shall set you Free'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-694116196636990642</id><published>2012-01-20T09:14:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-20T09:16:02.109-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Seed to the Sower</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;20 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mentioned yesterday being amazed at the intellectuals’ continued inability to grasp even the simplest of concepts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am continually even more amazed at the simplistic intricacy and thereby the demonstrative supernatural origin of God’s plan and His bringing it to light.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The daily epiphany is wonderful and marvelous and I thank The LORD for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am right where I am supposed to be and am exactly who I am supposed to be, as are you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 13&lt;br /&gt;57And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to talk to you again about the rich as described.  This is the rich in the context of James 5 and Revelation 3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James 5&lt;br /&gt;1Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. &lt;br /&gt;2Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. &lt;br /&gt;3Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. &lt;br /&gt;4Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. &lt;br /&gt;5Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. &lt;br /&gt;6Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. &lt;br /&gt;7Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. &lt;br /&gt;8Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. &lt;br /&gt;9Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Revelation 3&lt;br /&gt;14And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; &lt;br /&gt;15I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. &lt;br /&gt;16So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. &lt;br /&gt;17Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: &lt;br /&gt;18I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. &lt;br /&gt;19As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. &lt;br /&gt;20Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. &lt;br /&gt;21To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. &lt;br /&gt;22He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have many times talked about these passages and many of the words and term used in them.&lt;br /&gt;We have talked about words of the Lord in Matthew 13; “offend” being the Greek scandalize and the word for “honor” being timos.  The word used for “without honor” only appears a few times and is atimos.  The only other time I have seen it used is in 1 Corinthians 4:10 and it is translated “despised.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Corinthians 4&lt;br /&gt;1Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. &lt;br /&gt;2Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. &lt;br /&gt;3But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. &lt;br /&gt;4For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. &lt;br /&gt;5Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. &lt;br /&gt;6And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. &lt;br /&gt;7For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you. &lt;br /&gt;9For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. &lt;br /&gt;10We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; 11Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; &lt;br /&gt;12And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: &lt;br /&gt;13Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. &lt;br /&gt;14I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. &lt;br /&gt;15For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. &lt;br /&gt;16Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. &lt;br /&gt;17For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church. &lt;br /&gt;18Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you. &lt;br /&gt;19But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power. &lt;br /&gt;20For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. &lt;br /&gt;21What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 53, 54 &amp; 55, Psalms 112&lt;br /&gt;f &lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-694116196636990642?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/694116196636990642/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/seed-to-sower.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/694116196636990642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/694116196636990642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/seed-to-sower.html' title='Seed to the Sower'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-741668511417113067</id><published>2012-01-19T09:09:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-20T08:00:42.708-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The Liberal news media - an evil beast</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;19 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am continually amazed at the so called intellectuals’, in both the secular and the religious realms, inability to grasp basic concepts.  This defect in minds is rooted in an elevated opinion of self paradoxically reversing the thought process and results in foolishness rather than the rational accepting of reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have talked in the past about the hardest debates being those between one’s own divergent opinions and beliefs.   These debates typically end with either the continuing contradiction or an admission that one point of view was untrue.  Both are the process of the search for truth; the first ends in acceptance of, or desire for confusion as the status quo and the latter actually being truth only when the pertinent facts are entered and properly evaluated.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The worst situations are those where there is no debate only a mindless or prideful defense of the self-opinion even in the face of facts and reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are about to see evil rear its ugly head in an attempt to destroy Newt, because he is being affective in teaching and articulating truth in a way that has opened the eyes of many.  Mitt, you are in their crosshairs also.  As are all who aren’t Obama and we will see some of our own join in based also on the lust for a man of their choosing.   We should be circling up and shooting out at the true enemy but instead many will be urging to circle up and shoot inward. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hebrews 12&lt;br /&gt;11Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. &lt;br /&gt;12Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; &lt;br /&gt;13And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. &lt;br /&gt;14Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: &lt;br /&gt;15Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; &lt;br /&gt;16Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. &lt;br /&gt;17For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ezekiel 36&lt;br /&gt;31Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. &lt;br /&gt;32Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel. &lt;br /&gt;33Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded. &lt;br /&gt;34And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. &lt;br /&gt;35And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From 10 November 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to talk more about the confusion resulting from the ignorant voices and it being an intentional tactic of these ignorers of truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the past I have explained the scientific process of finding truth.  First the theory, then the experiments and testing, and finally the proven true is kept and the untrue excluded.  I explained that in our modern system of confusion where the media reigns truth isn’t the objective.  They want the argument and therefore even when something is proven to be false it is continually intentionally included in the argument.  It has even gone to the extreme that this process is in full reverse from most of the major media outlets.  Fox is about the only major outlet that still even makes an attempt to present both sides but falls into the trap of continually including the blatantly false just for the sake of having an argument.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What we have just seen with this election are the time proven effects of vociferous truth when it is presented to a public that is paying attention.  The end of the test is the fruit.  Everyone sees the same outcome but we are also seeing those who don’t like the conclusion trying to keep the argument alive by ignoring what they see and re-presenting the same old proven untruths.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is impossible to get anywhere by arguing with these type who have no moral standards or at best a self centered self created standard.  Neither can we or should we hope to persuade with a rational argument those who are being irrational.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The argument is over.  Moving forward it is a time to teach and enlighten.  I am not calling for being ignorant of the attempts by the “domestic enemies” at progressing their agenda.  They will change their tactics as needed and aren’t going to surrender.  They must be totally defeated with truth and light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 12&lt;br /&gt;42Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: &lt;br /&gt;43For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. &lt;br /&gt;44Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. &lt;br /&gt;45And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. &lt;br /&gt;46I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. &lt;br /&gt;47And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. &lt;br /&gt;48He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. &lt;br /&gt;49For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. &lt;br /&gt;50And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Proverbs 20, Isaiah 5 &amp; 6, Philippians 2 &amp; 3, Psalms 92&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-741668511417113067?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/741668511417113067/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/liberal-news-media-evil-beast.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/741668511417113067'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/741668511417113067'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/liberal-news-media-evil-beast.html' title='The Liberal news media - an evil beast'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-417354575428510135</id><published>2012-01-16T10:13:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-16T10:14:04.954-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Light instead of listening to the peepers and mutterers, John 3:16 - 21</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;16 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Revelation 19&lt;br /&gt;9And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. &lt;br /&gt;10And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. &lt;br /&gt;11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. &lt;br /&gt;12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. &lt;br /&gt;13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. &lt;br /&gt;14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. &lt;br /&gt;15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. &lt;br /&gt;16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; &lt;br /&gt;18That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. &lt;br /&gt;19And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. &lt;br /&gt;20And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. &lt;br /&gt;21And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 31&lt;br /&gt;5As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it. &lt;br /&gt;6Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted. &lt;br /&gt;7For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin. &lt;br /&gt;8Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited. &lt;br /&gt;9And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 30&lt;br /&gt;1Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: &lt;br /&gt;2That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt! &lt;br /&gt;3Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion. &lt;br /&gt;4For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes. &lt;br /&gt;5They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach. &lt;br /&gt;6The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them. &lt;br /&gt;7For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still. &lt;br /&gt;8Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: &lt;br /&gt;9That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: &lt;br /&gt;10Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: &lt;br /&gt;11Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. &lt;br /&gt;12Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon: &lt;br /&gt;13Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant. &lt;br /&gt;14And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit. &lt;br /&gt;15For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not. &lt;br /&gt;16But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift. &lt;br /&gt;17One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill. &lt;br /&gt;18And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him. &lt;br /&gt;19For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee. &lt;br /&gt;20And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: &lt;br /&gt;21And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. &lt;br /&gt;22Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence. &lt;br /&gt;23Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures. &lt;br /&gt;24The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan. &lt;br /&gt;25And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. &lt;br /&gt;26Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound. &lt;br /&gt;27Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire: &lt;br /&gt;28And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err. &lt;br /&gt;29Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel. &lt;br /&gt;30And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones. &lt;br /&gt;31For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod. &lt;br /&gt;32And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it. &lt;br /&gt;33For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Kings 2, Psalms 49&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Halleluja&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-417354575428510135?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/417354575428510135/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/light-instead-of-listening-to-peepers.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/417354575428510135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/417354575428510135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/light-instead-of-listening-to-peepers.html' title='Light instead of listening to the peepers and mutterers, John 3:16 - 21'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-911872968414716343</id><published>2012-01-15T12:00:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-15T12:31:57.209-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Other Birds of Prey</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;15 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exodus 19&lt;br /&gt;4Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. &lt;br /&gt;5Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: &lt;br /&gt;6And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. &lt;br /&gt;7And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him. &lt;br /&gt;8And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD. &lt;br /&gt;9And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD. &lt;br /&gt;10And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, &lt;br /&gt;11And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to try to make this as simple as I can and still getting the understanding through.  &lt;br /&gt;The pattern that is shown here is setting up the fulfillment of The LORD saying that He would raise them up a Prophet like Moses.  Deuteronomy 18  &lt;br /&gt;This is also the Moses pattern that is shown in Revelation 12.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This also includes the description of Isaiah 8 and 34 where we see the eagles and all the birds of prey gathered at the dead carcass.  It is the same carcase that is mention by the Lord in Matthew 24.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;27For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. &lt;br /&gt;28For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. &lt;br /&gt;29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: &lt;br /&gt;30And 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. &lt;br /&gt;31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the difference between the devouring of the dead body and raising it back to life.  Either way it is dead.  The sign is the same as is reported in Isaiah 8:  18Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. &lt;br /&gt;19And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As it is the same as is reported in Revelation 14:  1And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The darkness is described by the Lord in Matthew 24 as it is also written in Isaiah 8:&lt;br /&gt;16Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. &lt;br /&gt;17And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. &lt;br /&gt;18Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. &lt;br /&gt;19And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? &lt;br /&gt;20To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. &lt;br /&gt;21And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward. &lt;br /&gt;22And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The flood that comes is also mentioned in both Isaiah 8 and Revelation 12.  When you read this you will see the proper sequence of the events.&lt;br /&gt;The people refusing the waters of Shiloh, the still waters of the LORD’s guidance; the refusal leading to revolt; revolt brings in the serpent’s flood, the Assyrian’s overflowing; the darkness of death;  the eagles gather around the dead carcass; those still refusing the deliverance of being raised up on the eagle’s wings are therefore devoured and destroyed by the other birds of prey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is the truth of the meaning.  This is all so very plainly explained in Hebrews 12 &amp; 13.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 23 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-911872968414716343?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/911872968414716343/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/other-birds-of-prey.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/911872968414716343'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/911872968414716343'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/other-birds-of-prey.html' title='Other Birds of Prey'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-4927841156615847129</id><published>2012-01-14T10:05:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-14T10:27:57.632-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Vulture Capitalism</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;14 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you see it?  2 Kings 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to talk about “Vulture Capitalism.”  I know the misguided context that this and similar terms are being used to define others, but there is a truth that even these business ignorant false accusers don’t understand.  (I wouldn’t recommend anyone try to publicly use this defense as it would absolutely be cut into bits and vomited against them as false accusation attack ads.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vultures only eat the dead.  &lt;br /&gt;There are companies who manage capital for all types of people and organizations.  Those managing these moneys have made certain promises and vows to those invested that they will steward and grow their money.  These firms aren’t philanthropic and the managers would be deemed failures if they didn’t properly execute their vows as they had agreed to.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Think of all the times the left has taken great pleasure in seeing the violators of this trust perp-walked.  And now we have even the law abiding being demonized as if they were law breakers in the same way.)     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are firms that specialize in purchasing and revitalizing distresses companies.  If they purchase one that can’t survive due the current business environment or just due to past mismanagement, they will then typically maximize its liquidation.  The damage was done well before the company was taken over and what is done is done out of obligation to protect the capital of those invested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you have heard me say many times in the past, this is also the way wealth changes hands in a free market system.  The market, or rather the lack of viability in the market, for whatever reason, is best left to run its course and the demand (capital) is then shifted to other areas (people) and wealth is created in (or shifted to) new places.  It’s a basic principle of free market capitalism.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you have also heard me say many times there is no other system that works as well and all others fail quickly. If free markets and these failed systems are mixed they are in constant conflict.   This can be seem in the many examples of the dead systems or industries that are artificially propped up then putting a strain on the resources and therefore other viable entities.  The ultimate end of this is the dead sucking the life out of the living.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Free market capitalism is all part of a system that works.  It results in what may appear when scrutinized at it smallest possible elementary parts as if it is in chaos but as an overall system it is functioning as designed in macro harmony.  When you disrupt the macro it is thrust into an even deeper state of chaos that becomes more apparent in the diminishing harmony of the overall system.  This is truth in all aspects of the creation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is much more to this but I will leave you to think it through.  Come out from among them and live.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Peter 2 (&amp; 3)&lt;br /&gt;1This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: &lt;br /&gt;2That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: &lt;br /&gt;3Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, &lt;br /&gt;4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. &lt;br /&gt;5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: &lt;br /&gt;6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: &lt;br /&gt;7But 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. &lt;br /&gt;8But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. &lt;br /&gt;9The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. &lt;br /&gt;10But the day of the Lord 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. &lt;br /&gt;11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, &lt;br /&gt;12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? &lt;br /&gt;13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. &lt;br /&gt;14Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. &lt;br /&gt;15And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; &lt;br /&gt;16As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. &lt;br /&gt;17Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. &lt;br /&gt;18But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 102&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-4927841156615847129?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/4927841156615847129/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/vulture-capitalism.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/4927841156615847129'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/4927841156615847129'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/vulture-capitalism.html' title='Vulture Capitalism'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-1794484429406768258</id><published>2012-01-13T09:03:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-13T09:03:51.968-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Strange days</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;13 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are some strange headlines that people are at a loss to understand. &lt;br /&gt;There is all the outrage about the Marine Latrine video.  Let’s just call it art and forget about it as they did before.  Or just call it the act of a few confused idiots as I did.&lt;br /&gt;Then there is the tornado in NC yesterday.  I saw some quotes where they said that no one could ever remember a tornado in North Carolina in January ever happening before.&lt;br /&gt;It came to get grannie and take her downstream a bit.&lt;br /&gt;And last we have the snow in Alaska.  It is record breaking, as is the news media snow job going on in the lower 48, or 55 if you are Obama.  You know the one that runs the gambit of Michelle Obama not being an angry black woman through to the tea party is responsible for Debbie Schultz being an idiot and on to the economic recovery that isn’t anywhere other than in the imaginations of the delusional.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zechariah 9 &amp; 10&lt;br /&gt;11As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water. &lt;br /&gt;12Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee; &lt;br /&gt;13When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man. &lt;br /&gt;14And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the LORD God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south. &lt;br /&gt;15The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar. &lt;br /&gt;16And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land. &lt;br /&gt;17For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James 5, Psalms 102&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-1794484429406768258?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/1794484429406768258/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/strange-days_13.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/1794484429406768258'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/1794484429406768258'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/strange-days_13.html' title='Strange days'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-2401828366057243734</id><published>2012-01-12T09:28:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-12T09:28:03.029-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Instructions to Follow</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;12 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 31 from yesterday can be understood in the context of Deuteronomy 17.  It is referring to where you look to for strength in leadership and a leader’s qualification and definition being in this.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The current reality of our time is that people look to men to provide what will sustain them; and leaders in the acceptable corrupted fashion persuade that the mislead should place their hope in them.  The leaders work in the strength their position in these media and political systems and rely on what they can buy to perpetuate the perception that there is hope in them as saviors and deliverers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the qualifications: Deuteronomy 17&lt;br /&gt; 14When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me; &lt;br /&gt; 15Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother. &lt;br /&gt; 16But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way. &lt;br /&gt; 17Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold. &lt;br /&gt; 18And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites: &lt;br /&gt; 19And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them: &lt;br /&gt; 20That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 31 talks of the end of not adhering to this commandment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 31&lt;br /&gt; 1Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD! &lt;br /&gt; 2Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity. &lt;br /&gt; 3Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together. &lt;br /&gt; 4For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof. &lt;br /&gt; 5As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it. &lt;br /&gt; 6Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted. &lt;br /&gt; 7For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin. &lt;br /&gt; 8Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited. &lt;br /&gt; 9And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The key to a full understanding of this can be found in the word “ensign.”  The ensign that is raised and that put the fear of God into the hearts of these false leaders is found by looking into this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word that ensign is translated from is also translated as “Banner” in Isaiah 13:2.&lt;br /&gt; 1The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see. &lt;br /&gt; 2Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles. &lt;br /&gt; 3I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness. &lt;br /&gt; 4The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is this banner, this ensign?  It is found in Isaiah 11:  10And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is quoted in Romans 15:12 as is stated the commandment for this time.&lt;br /&gt;  6That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. &lt;br /&gt; 7Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. &lt;br /&gt; 8Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: &lt;br /&gt; 9And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. &lt;br /&gt; 10And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. &lt;br /&gt; 11And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people. &lt;br /&gt; 12And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. &lt;br /&gt; 13Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One final point to be made here is in the use of the word translated “reign” in verse 12.  It is only used one other time and in it is found the reason why, “in Him shall the Gentiles trust.”   They can trust Him because He does rely on being what is commanded in Deuteronomy 17.  He doesn’t want anything from those he leads.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am come to give to you not get from you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The use of the word is “rule” in Mark 10:42.&lt;br /&gt; 42But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. &lt;br /&gt; 43But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: &lt;br /&gt; 44And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. &lt;br /&gt; 45For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should follow these instructions.  The Son of man must be lifted up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-2401828366057243734?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/2401828366057243734/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/instructions-to-follow.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/2401828366057243734'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/2401828366057243734'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/instructions-to-follow.html' title='Instructions to Follow'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-6325103059907035309</id><published>2012-01-11T09:02:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-11T09:02:24.919-05:00</updated><title type='text'>passing over he will preserve</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;11 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 31&lt;br /&gt; 1Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD! &lt;br /&gt; 2Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity. &lt;br /&gt; 3Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit.

If you haven’t read the chapter lately you should.  They see it as Peter saw and as it is plainly written when you aren’t afraid to accept it.  The courage is to think outside the corruption of what the false ones are and have been teaching.  You need to put on the incorruptible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few things to keep in mind about the primary today and the general election when it comes; any of the candidates will be infinitely better than Obama.  Why?  They will sign the bills that are sent from the Congress.  This premise presumes that we will have a conservative House and Senate.   If we do there is no way a republican President would dare veto a bill that comes.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we would have been having real debates we would be hearing about what priorities would be set for rolling back 100 years of socialism.  Instead all we are hearing are small blurbs of content directed and distorted by the same people who are the allies in and perpetrators of the destruction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This brings me to a reminder that needs to be made to the candidates; it isn’t about you.  Don’t think you are so important that you need become a destroyer to save us.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Peter 1&lt;br /&gt; 17And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: &lt;br /&gt; 18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; &lt;br /&gt; 19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: &lt;br /&gt; 20Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, &lt;br /&gt; 21Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. &lt;br /&gt; 22Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: &lt;br /&gt; 23Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. &lt;br /&gt; 24For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: &lt;br /&gt; 25But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 7:10 – 10, Psalms 71&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Timothy 3&lt;br /&gt; 1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. &lt;br /&gt; 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, &lt;br /&gt; 3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, &lt;br /&gt; 4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; &lt;br /&gt; 5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. &lt;br /&gt; 6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, &lt;br /&gt; 7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. &lt;br /&gt; 8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. &lt;br /&gt; 9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was. &lt;br /&gt; 10But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, &lt;br /&gt; 11Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. &lt;br /&gt; 12Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. &lt;br /&gt; 13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. &lt;br /&gt; 14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; &lt;br /&gt; 15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. &lt;br /&gt; 16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: &lt;br /&gt; 17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-5590402932247483395?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/5590402932247483395/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/this-know-also.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/5590402932247483395'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/5590402932247483395'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/this-know-also.html' title='This Know Also'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-8475625707862564731</id><published>2012-01-09T09:42:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-09T09:42:26.119-05:00</updated><title type='text'>This is the other bank - Daniel 12</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;9 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 36&lt;br /&gt; 1The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. &lt;br /&gt; 2For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. &lt;br /&gt; 3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. &lt;br /&gt; 4He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil. &lt;br /&gt; 5Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. &lt;br /&gt; 6Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. &lt;br /&gt; 7How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. &lt;br /&gt; 8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. &lt;br /&gt; 9For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. &lt;br /&gt; 10O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. &lt;br /&gt; 11Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me. &lt;br /&gt; 12There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving forward with yesterday’s topic: there are several points made in Psalms 36.  The word translated “rise” in verse 12 is the word, “cumi” or quwm, from yesterday.  If you see where the transgressors, the rebels, have fallen, it is in their pride and their work, and there they are overthrown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is also time to add a few points about the sleep of death and its similarity to crossing a river.  One of the points is that when you enter a river you are taken downstream a distance relative to the strength of the current.  And so is the sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel 9&lt;br /&gt; 4And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; &lt;br /&gt; 5We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments: &lt;br /&gt; 6Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. &lt;br /&gt; 7O LORD, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee. &lt;br /&gt; 8O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. &lt;br /&gt; 9To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; &lt;br /&gt; 10Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets. &lt;br /&gt; 11Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. &lt;br /&gt; 12And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem. &lt;br /&gt; 13As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. &lt;br /&gt; 14Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice. &lt;br /&gt; 15And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly. &lt;br /&gt; 16O LORD, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us. &lt;br /&gt; 17Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake. &lt;br /&gt; 18O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies. &lt;br /&gt; 19O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 37&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-8475625707862564731?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/8475625707862564731/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/this-is-other-bank-daniel-12.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/8475625707862564731'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/8475625707862564731'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/this-is-other-bank-daniel-12.html' title='This is the other bank - Daniel 12'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-3808933079971208089</id><published>2012-01-08T09:15:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-08T09:47:22.062-05:00</updated><title type='text'>We Speak Because We Do Know</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;7 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have left yesterday’s date on this because I started it then but after several hours decided that it was a topic that you aren’t ready to hear, even though I have told you it many times. (The LORD thinks different.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me it is very topical as it is something my family is dealing with on several fronts.&lt;br /&gt;I feel somewhat inadequate in that I know the answer but those around me just think the truth is nothing more than the babbling of a dreamer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have several family members who have passed very recently, and my wife’s 96 year old grannie that lives with us is very close. I asked my wife to have a preacher come talk to her and he has been here several times over last several days.  Although I haven’t said anything about it, I found his comfort to be the same old timid explanation sticking with the orthodoxy pervasive in all the churches.  He encouraged grannie to say some words that would prove she had accepted the Lord and then went on to tell that by this she could be sure of where she was going after death.  Grannie still being inquisitive asked where that place was.  The preacher couldn’t tell her other than with the same, “With the Lord.”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the paradox, the church can’t tell you were or when because they are unsure, but they can tell you it isn’t here or now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where is the resurrection?  Job 19&lt;br /&gt;21Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me. &lt;br /&gt;22Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh? &lt;br /&gt;23Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! &lt;br /&gt;24That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;25For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: &lt;br /&gt;26And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: &lt;br /&gt;27Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The word translated as “stand” here is documented as being used once by the Lord and is un-translated.  It is in raising someone from the dead.  The word is “cumi.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark 5&lt;br /&gt;39And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. &lt;br /&gt;40And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. &lt;br /&gt;41And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, “Talitha cumi;” which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. &lt;br /&gt;42And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel 12 uses the same word as here in Job to tell the same truth.  The word translated “earth” in the quote from Job 19 is the same as is translated “dust” in Daniel 12.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel 12&lt;br /&gt;1And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. &lt;br /&gt;2And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. &lt;br /&gt;3And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. &lt;br /&gt;4But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to see the different types mentioned in verse 2 you will read about it in the similar words being used in Psalms 1 and Psalms 24.  You really need to read both, really!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now you should read John 17 again and understand the payer of the Lord.&lt;br /&gt;John 17&lt;br /&gt;24Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. &lt;br /&gt;25O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. &lt;br /&gt;26And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul understood it perfectly.  &lt;br /&gt;2 Timothy 2&lt;br /&gt;19Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. &lt;br /&gt;20But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. &lt;br /&gt;21If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. &lt;br /&gt;22Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This chapter is a reference to Exodus 28:36 – 38, Zachariah 14 and therefore Revelation 19.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Revelation 19&lt;br /&gt;1And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: &lt;br /&gt;2For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. &lt;br /&gt;3And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. &lt;br /&gt;4And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. &lt;br /&gt;5And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. &lt;br /&gt;6And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. &lt;br /&gt;7Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. &lt;br /&gt;8And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. &lt;br /&gt;9And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. &lt;br /&gt;10And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. &lt;br /&gt;11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. &lt;br /&gt;12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. &lt;br /&gt;13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. &lt;br /&gt;14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. &lt;br /&gt;15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. &lt;br /&gt;16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. &lt;br /&gt;17And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; &lt;br /&gt;18That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. &lt;br /&gt;19And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. &lt;br /&gt;20And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. &lt;br /&gt;21And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-3808933079971208089?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/3808933079971208089/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/we-speak-because-we-do-know.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/3808933079971208089'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/3808933079971208089'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/we-speak-because-we-do-know.html' title='We Speak Because We Do Know'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-7861771444378000163</id><published>2012-01-06T09:29:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-06T09:29:11.376-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The corrupted must put on incorruption</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;6 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have in the past talked about the quote from 1 Corinthians 15 that I included yesterday.  The passage talks about the change that comes in the twinkle of an eye and then goes on to what will be brought to pass at the time.  What is said are quotes from Isaiah 25:8 and Hosea 13:14.  The “twinkling” that comes with the change that brings these quotes to pass is contained in what is said just before the quotes.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Corinthians 15&lt;br /&gt; 51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, &lt;br /&gt; 52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. &lt;br /&gt; 53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. &lt;br /&gt; 54So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. &lt;br /&gt; 55O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 25&lt;br /&gt; 7And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations. &lt;br /&gt; 8He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before you read the quote from Hosea you should consider several things.  There is a unique term used in Isaiah 41:21 (from yesterday) where the LORD calls Himself “The King of Jacob.”&lt;br /&gt;And the word translated “vail” in Isaiah 25:7 is only translated as such here and in most other places it is “molten image” as in Hosea 13:2.  It is used more descriptively in Habakkuk 2:18.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hosea 13&lt;br /&gt; 9O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help. &lt;br /&gt; 10I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? &lt;br /&gt; 11I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath. &lt;br /&gt; 12The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid. &lt;br /&gt; 13The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children. &lt;br /&gt; 14I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. &lt;br /&gt; 15Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The covering removes is that described in Habakkuk 2: and these are all also describing the “twinkling” the “shewing Himself” of yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Habakkuk 2&lt;br /&gt; 18What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols? &lt;br /&gt; 19Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it. &lt;br /&gt; 20But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When reading this you should also consider what is written in Isaiah 41 and then how Habakkuk 2 begins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 41&lt;br /&gt;  18I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. &lt;br /&gt; 19I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together: &lt;br /&gt; 20That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it. &lt;br /&gt; 21Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob. &lt;br /&gt; 22Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come. &lt;br /&gt; 23Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together. &lt;br /&gt; 24Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Habakkuk 2&lt;br /&gt; 1I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. &lt;br /&gt; 2And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. &lt;br /&gt; 3For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. &lt;br /&gt; 4Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. &lt;br /&gt; 5Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people: &lt;br /&gt; 6Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay! &lt;br /&gt; 7Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them? &lt;br /&gt; 8Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein. &lt;br /&gt; 9Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil! &lt;br /&gt; 10Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul. &lt;br /&gt; 11For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it. &lt;br /&gt; 12Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity! &lt;br /&gt; 13Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity? &lt;br /&gt; 14For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. &lt;br /&gt; 15Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness! &lt;br /&gt; 16Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory. &lt;br /&gt; 17For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein. &lt;br /&gt; 18What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols? &lt;br /&gt; 19Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it. &lt;br /&gt; 20But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remove the cover of your lies and the world will see.  Church, XPX, this is to you.  The molten images are an abomination and shouldn’t be in you.  They are the calf that you worship and I have come down to restore you.

It is written differently in the three places but always Calling Abraham the friend of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first is in 2 Chronicles 20 during a prayer asking the LORD’s help against an enemy too great for them to defeat.  The LORD hadn’t let Israel invade these people when He brought them out of Egypt.  Therefore it is a time prepared by the LORD to show, again, His deliverance; and it is a pattern of the harvest where the tares have been allowed to grow with the wheat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer from the LORD is this:&lt;br /&gt;15And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. &lt;br /&gt;16To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel. &lt;br /&gt;17Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The name “Ziz” literally means, Twinkle; “Jeruel” is literally, taught of God; and the word “cliff” should be translated, ascent.  You should remember us talking about these words in the past.  Ziz is the same word as tsuwts, meaning blossom or bloom and is also translated as “shewing himself” in Song of Solomon 2:3.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can you should give a closer look at the Hebrew of 2 Chronicles 20:16.&lt;br /&gt;The word “tomorrow” is the same word that is translated as “time to come” as in Deuteronomy 6:20.  (By reading these three chapters for context you will see the meaning intended.)&lt;br /&gt;20And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other places with Abraham the Friend of God mentioned are Isaiah 41:8 and James 2:23.&lt;br /&gt;What follows in James is also good reading with reference to the double minded as has been the topic of our recent letters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to leave it to you to see it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Corinthians 15&lt;br /&gt;51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, &lt;br /&gt;52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. &lt;br /&gt;53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. &lt;br /&gt;54So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. &lt;br /&gt;55O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 13&lt;br /&gt;24Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: &lt;br /&gt;25But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. &lt;br /&gt;26But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. &lt;br /&gt;27So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? &lt;br /&gt;28He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? &lt;br /&gt;29But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. &lt;br /&gt;30Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. &lt;br /&gt;31Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: &lt;br /&gt;32Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. &lt;br /&gt;33Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. &lt;br /&gt;34All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: &lt;br /&gt;35That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. &lt;br /&gt;36Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. &lt;br /&gt;37He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; &lt;br /&gt;38The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; &lt;br /&gt;39The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. &lt;br /&gt;40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. &lt;br /&gt;41The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; &lt;br /&gt;42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. &lt;br /&gt;43Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-4076738621097875832?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/4076738621097875832/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/and-times-of-this-ignorance-god-winked.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/4076738621097875832'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/4076738621097875832'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/and-times-of-this-ignorance-god-winked.html' title='And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-9110740567542037285</id><published>2012-01-04T17:21:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-04T19:43:26.621-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Big Government</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;4 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just heard that I was wrong about Santorum being a “Big Government” type on social spending.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess I am if you exclude things like his support for Medicare Part D.  Santorum voted for it and now makes Romney like explanation of why it was a good idea then and why he isn’t for it now.  Part D was the biggest expansion of an entitlement program in the history of the country, up until Obama-care.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to a Forbes article, in 2005 11.6 million people were enrolled and that grew to 27.6 million in 2010.  I read a Reuters article that reported that enrollment was over 40 million or would be shortly (hard to tell by the way it was written).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Tax Policy Center in 2009 reported that not only had the enrollment numbers more than doubles but so had the cost per enrollee.  The projections are that the total cost to taxpayers will triple from 50 billion in 2008 to 140 billion in 2018, and by 2080 it will be 1.8% of GDP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is a “Big Government” expansion.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From 22 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some Republicans and conservative news media types are going right along with the liberals and the big Government spenders in claiming doom, gloom and the apocalypse if we go through with the mandatory cuts brought about by the Super Committee failure.  In that argument each is blaming the other but the end result is they are both irrationally arguing against raining in ever expanding government. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If conservatives can’t truthfully argue their positions in this case they lose all credibility when the time comes for necessary and more substantial actual cuts.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an example of politics at its worst and governance at its most perverted.&lt;br /&gt;A true conservative argument would be against the process that brought this about and the resulting demagoguery that has become the modern political norm.  Truth would tell that actual cuts are minimal or nonexistent; and that the danger lies in doing nothing.  We can do this and everything will be fine as long as we become more efficient as we go and DON’T PANIC or induce panic.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reality is that those fighting against what absolutely has to happen are ignoring the inevitable consequences of the continuation of spending and growing; and when we reap what they have sown these same will absolve themselves of all responsibility.  Of course they will also present themselves as the same old “new saviors” with their same old failed ideas as the solution.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I said, this is just the start. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the truth about the cuts as has been widely reported. From an AP Story:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Freshman Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a tea party favorite, even questioned the legitimacy of the outcry over the military reductions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;"I think we need to be honest about it," Paul said in an interview on CNN Sunday. "The interesting thing is there will be no cuts in military spending. This may surprise some people, but there will be no cuts in military spending because we're only cutting proposed increases. If we do nothing, military spending goes up 23 percent over 10 years. If we sequester the money, it will still go up 16 percent. So spending is still rising under any of these plans."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the planned Pentagon budget for 2021 would be some $700 billion, an increase over the current level of about $520 billion. The cuts already in the works plus the automatic reductions would trim the projected budget by about $110 billion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the automatic cuts go through, the Pentagon would face a 10 percent cut in its $550 billion budget in 2013. On the domestic side, education, agriculture and environmental programs would face cuts of around 8 percent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Social Security, Medicaid and many veterans' benefits and low-income programs are exempt from automatic cuts.

Selah. &lt;br /&gt; 20He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death. &lt;br /&gt; 21But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses. &lt;br /&gt; 22The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea: &lt;br /&gt; 23That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same. &lt;br /&gt; 24They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. &lt;br /&gt; 25The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels. &lt;br /&gt; 26Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel. &lt;br /&gt; 27There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali. &lt;br /&gt; 28Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. &lt;br /&gt; 29Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee. &lt;br /&gt; 30Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war. &lt;br /&gt; 31Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. &lt;br /&gt; 32Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah: &lt;br /&gt; 33To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice. &lt;br /&gt; 34Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds. &lt;br /&gt; 35O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people.

He is one of my oldest and best friends.  He taught me to skydive and I worked for him several times in the army.  He is also a Christian, black and very liberal; and I only said that to say that he told the joke as being about a white guy, a Jew and a black guy meeting the Lord.   All three are suffering with infirmities. When the first meets the Lord, the Lord puts his hand on his head and said “you’re healed.”  The guy responds with great thanks.  The second guy meets the Lord and the same happens.  The Lord heals him and he thanks the Lord greatly.  The Lord then approaches the third guy.  The man immediately backs away as he says, “Don’t touch me Lord; I get 80% disability from the VA.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two points to the story: first is that it is so true about the modern day response to the current condition of the world.  Most don’t want to fix it because they are benefitting from it in greater ways than the alternative.  Second is that I could heal millions by just doing away with disability payments.  It is again, a system without realistic standards and no objective evaluation of need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I say all this to get to my point.  Rick Santorum is a great guy, much more conservative than the “front running” candidates and, of course, Obama.  The reason I don’t think he is the guy is that he believes in a collective moral obligation and in filling it through nationalized systems that have no personal connection able to evaluate actual need.  It is a catholic thing.  And because the Catholic Church is itself a behemoth it refuses individual rights and opts for centralized rule based control.  They themselves believe in collective salvation, and all you have to do is check the right boxes and be part of their system and you're saved.   It doesn’t work there as it doesn’t work anywhere.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would Santorum be better?  Yes.  Is he the one to correct the problems or make the hard decisions?  I don’t think so.  If you have listened to him he is big government believer and that is how you get elected in the northeast.  The same beliefs are part of the problem and not a solution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hosea 11&lt;br /&gt;1When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. &lt;br /&gt;2As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images. &lt;br /&gt;3I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them. &lt;br /&gt;4I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them. &lt;br /&gt;5He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return. &lt;br /&gt;6And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels. &lt;br /&gt;7And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him. &lt;br /&gt;8How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together. &lt;br /&gt;9I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city. &lt;br /&gt;10They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west. &lt;br /&gt;11They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD. &lt;br /&gt;12Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don’t really care if none of this was politically correct.  It is all the truth and it is time to tell it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nahum, Psalms 27&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-9067296508311259619?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/9067296508311259619/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/politically-incorrect-no-fear.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/9067296508311259619'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/9067296508311259619'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/politically-incorrect-no-fear.html' title='Politically Incorrect, No Fear!'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-7954279371830898623</id><published>2012-01-02T21:21:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-02T21:23:14.903-05:00</updated><title type='text'>after the warnings end (lo, it comes)</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;2 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ezekiel 33&lt;br /&gt; 1Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, &lt;br /&gt; 2Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: &lt;br /&gt; 3If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; &lt;br /&gt; 4Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. &lt;br /&gt; 5He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. &lt;br /&gt; 6But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. &lt;br /&gt; 7So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. &lt;br /&gt; 8When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. &lt;br /&gt; 9Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. &lt;br /&gt; 10Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live? &lt;br /&gt; 11Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? &lt;br /&gt; 12Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression (rebellion): as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth. &lt;br /&gt; 13When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it. &lt;br /&gt; 14Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; &lt;br /&gt; 15If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. &lt;br /&gt; 16None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live. &lt;br /&gt; 17Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. &lt;br /&gt; 18When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby. &lt;br /&gt; 19But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby. &lt;br /&gt; 20Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways. &lt;br /&gt; 21And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten. &lt;br /&gt; 22Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb. &lt;br /&gt; 23Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, &lt;br /&gt; 24Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance. &lt;br /&gt; 25Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land? &lt;br /&gt; 26Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land? &lt;br /&gt; 27Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence. &lt;br /&gt; 28For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through. &lt;br /&gt; 29Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed. &lt;br /&gt; 30Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD. &lt;br /&gt; 31And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. &lt;br /&gt; 32And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not. &lt;br /&gt; 33And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-7954279371830898623?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/7954279371830898623/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/blog-post_02.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/7954279371830898623'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/7954279371830898623'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/blog-post_02.html' title='after the warnings end (lo, it comes)'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-5507222715067129284</id><published>2012-01-02T10:09:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-02T10:09:35.666-05:00</updated><title type='text'>my thoughts on Psalms 90, A Thosand Years as Yesterday</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;2 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to give my thoughts on Psalms 90.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much of the meaning is found in looking at one word and it’s only three times use in the Greek.&lt;br /&gt;The word is “yesterday.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is one way that you can know the days and that is after it happens.  Isn’t that what faith is?  Acting when there is still a way to rationalize away having to face the truth.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what do I know the world’s response will be?  Read the chapters where the word “yesterday” is used and you will see it.  You will see better what is being said in Psalms 90.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, of courses Psalms 90 is quoted in 2 Peter 3.  The places where the word is used are John 4:52, Acts 7:28, and Hebrews 13:8.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will see it if you read it.  They will try to do what they have always done.  The son of man must be lifted up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-5507222715067129284?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/5507222715067129284/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-thoughts-on-psalms-90-thosand-years.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/5507222715067129284'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/5507222715067129284'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-thoughts-on-psalms-90-thosand-years.html' title='my thoughts on Psalms 90, A Thosand Years as Yesterday'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-9170149911208587238</id><published>2012-01-01T21:30:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-01T21:33:13.415-05:00</updated><title type='text'>a name written, that no man knew, but he himself</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;1 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2 Corinthians 12 when Paul say he was caught up to the third heave and heard things that couldn’t be spoken and that he met a man there is whom he would glory, do you think there are things written that haven’t been spoken?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will tell you Peter knew what Paul had heard and they both many times plainly wrote them but only for this time.  All the prophets and apostles knew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John wrote of it in the Revealing. Revelation 19&lt;br /&gt;11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. &lt;br /&gt;12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. &lt;br /&gt;13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. &lt;br /&gt;14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. &lt;br /&gt;15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. &lt;br /&gt;16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What they knew was the name.  Luke knew that it was about the name.&lt;br /&gt;Luke 10&lt;br /&gt;21In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. &lt;br /&gt;22All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. &lt;br /&gt;23And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: &lt;br /&gt;24For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The name is the “Price” you were bought with.  It is the “Precious” blood of Christ that has redeemed us. Peter wrote of the name very plainly and that in the end the False prophets would have brought in damnable heresies even denying the Lord that bought them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1 Peter 1 he tells that:&lt;br /&gt;18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; &lt;br /&gt;19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: &lt;br /&gt;20Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, &lt;br /&gt;21Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1 Peter 2:&lt;br /&gt;3If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. &lt;br /&gt;4To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, &lt;br /&gt;5Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. &lt;br /&gt;6Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. &lt;br /&gt;7Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, &lt;br /&gt;8And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2 Peter 2:&lt;br /&gt;1But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. &lt;br /&gt;2And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. &lt;br /&gt;3And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in 2 Peter 3 of this and of Paul writing of it:&lt;br /&gt;15And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; &lt;br /&gt;16As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All these are telling of the name Timothy.  The name is plainly written over and over again. &lt;br /&gt;It means nothing if I know it.  You have to know it and when you do we will save the world.  It is time for all to know what we know. Do you see it?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lord says read Proverbs 22.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-9170149911208587238?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/9170149911208587238/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/9170149911208587238'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/9170149911208587238'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/blog-post.html' title='a name written, that no man knew, but he himself'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-6396845568376433168</id><published>2012-01-01T10:51:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-01T10:51:50.441-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Before Their Eyes</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Lord Is!&lt;br /&gt;1 January 2012&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ezekiel 37&lt;br /&gt; 20And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes. &lt;br /&gt; 21And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: &lt;br /&gt; 22And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all. &lt;br /&gt; 23Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. &lt;br /&gt; 24And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. &lt;br /&gt; 25And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever. &lt;br /&gt; 26Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. &lt;br /&gt; 27My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. &lt;br /&gt; 28And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 12&lt;br /&gt; 28Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. &lt;br /&gt; 29The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. &lt;br /&gt; 30Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. &lt;br /&gt; 31Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. &lt;br /&gt; 32And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. &lt;br /&gt; 33This he said, signifying what death he should die. &lt;br /&gt; 34The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? &lt;br /&gt; 35Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. &lt;br /&gt; 36While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them. &lt;br /&gt; 37But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: &lt;br /&gt; 38That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? &lt;br /&gt; 39Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, &lt;br /&gt; 40He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. &lt;br /&gt; 41These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. &lt;br /&gt; 42Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: &lt;br /&gt; 43For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. &lt;br /&gt; 44Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. &lt;br /&gt; 45And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. &lt;br /&gt; 46I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. &lt;br /&gt; 47And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. &lt;br /&gt; 48He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. &lt;br /&gt; 49For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. &lt;br /&gt; 50And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Samuel 22, 2 Corinthians 12 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Samuel 23&lt;br /&gt;  1Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said, &lt;br /&gt; 2The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue. &lt;br /&gt; 3The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. &lt;br /&gt; 4And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain. &lt;br /&gt; 5Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow. &lt;br /&gt; 6But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands: &lt;br /&gt; 7But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Corinthians 13&lt;br /&gt;1This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. &lt;br /&gt; 2I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare: &lt;br /&gt; 3Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you. &lt;br /&gt; 4For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you. &lt;br /&gt; 5Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? &lt;br /&gt; 6But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. &lt;br /&gt; 7Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. &lt;br /&gt; 8For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. &lt;br /&gt; 9For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection. &lt;br /&gt; 10Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-6396845568376433168?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/6396845568376433168/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/before-their-eyes.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/6396845568376433168'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/6396845568376433168'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2012/01/before-their-eyes.html' title='Before Their Eyes'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-2653707050869893182</id><published>2011-12-31T09:44:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-31T09:44:30.476-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Friends see it</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;31 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friends, I want you to see this in the context of the now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, John 15&lt;br /&gt; 14Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. &lt;br /&gt; 15Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. &lt;br /&gt; 16Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. &lt;br /&gt; 17These things I command you, that ye love one another. &lt;br /&gt; 18If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. &lt;br /&gt; 19If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. &lt;br /&gt; 20Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. &lt;br /&gt; 21But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. &lt;br /&gt; 22If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. &lt;br /&gt; 23He that hateth me hateth my Father also. &lt;br /&gt; 24If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. &lt;br /&gt; 25But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. &lt;br /&gt; 26But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: &lt;br /&gt; 27And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These interlopers are the same that will now claim that they have never spoken for the LORD they are only shepherds keeping their flock.  The truth is their prophesying has been what has wounded the True Shepherd.  This has turned out to your advantage because you are the little ones I have turned to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zechariah 13 &amp; 14&lt;br /&gt;4And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive: &lt;br /&gt; 5But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth. &lt;br /&gt; 6And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. &lt;br /&gt; 7Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malachi 3 &amp; 4&lt;br /&gt; 10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. &lt;br /&gt; 11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. &lt;br /&gt; 12And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts. &lt;br /&gt; 13Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee? &lt;br /&gt; 14Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts? &lt;br /&gt; 15And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. &lt;br /&gt; 16Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. &lt;br /&gt; 17And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. &lt;br /&gt; 18Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 11, Psalms 60&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 28For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. &lt;br /&gt; 29But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. &lt;br /&gt; 30And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. &lt;br /&gt; 31Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. &lt;br /&gt; 32But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. &lt;br /&gt; 33Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. &lt;br /&gt; 34Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-2653707050869893182?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/2653707050869893182/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/friends-see-it.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/2653707050869893182'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/2653707050869893182'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/friends-see-it.html' title='Friends see it'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-6504749210885378947</id><published>2011-12-30T09:10:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-30T09:10:36.065-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The deed of ownership</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;30 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LORD, Father, I know where this is going.  I have always known, but Father they need to hear it from you.  Father, Please tell them, again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus says the LORD, Psalms 17.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are standing at a time of great dilemma.  This is the end of the vineyard parable.  It is time for those who have occupied it to literally turn it over to the true owner.  They have always claimed that it was in the name of Christ that they were doing.  They have always claimed that they were only occupying it until the advent and then they would turn it over.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reality now shows forth in both seeing the darkness that chains them and seeing the Megaleios.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word Megaleios is translated as “wonderful works” in Acts 2:11 and as, “great things” in Luke 1:49.  Megaleiotetos is translated to “majesty” in 2 Peter 1:16.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luke 1&lt;br /&gt; 49For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. &lt;br /&gt; 50And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. &lt;br /&gt; 51He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. &lt;br /&gt; 52He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. &lt;br /&gt; 53He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. &lt;br /&gt; 54He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; &lt;br /&gt; 55As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acts 2&lt;br /&gt;    we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. &lt;br /&gt; 12And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? &lt;br /&gt; 13Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. &lt;br /&gt; 14But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: &lt;br /&gt; 15For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. &lt;br /&gt; 16But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; &lt;br /&gt; 17And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: &lt;br /&gt; 18And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: &lt;br /&gt; 19And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: &lt;br /&gt; 20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: &lt;br /&gt; 21And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. &lt;br /&gt; 22Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: &lt;br /&gt; 23Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: &lt;br /&gt; 24Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. &lt;br /&gt; 25For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: &lt;br /&gt; 26Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: &lt;br /&gt; 27Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. &lt;br /&gt; 28Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. &lt;br /&gt; 29Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. &lt;br /&gt; 30Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; &lt;br /&gt; 31He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. &lt;br /&gt; 32This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. &lt;br /&gt; 33Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. &lt;br /&gt; 34For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, &lt;br /&gt; 35Until I make thy foes thy footstool. &lt;br /&gt; 36Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. &lt;br /&gt; 37Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? &lt;br /&gt; 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. &lt;br /&gt; 39For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call. &lt;br /&gt; 40And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Peter 1&lt;br /&gt;16For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. &lt;br /&gt; 17For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. &lt;br /&gt; 18And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. &lt;br /&gt; 19We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: &lt;br /&gt; 20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. &lt;br /&gt; 21For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is time to keep your vows.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deuteronomy 23&lt;br /&gt; 21When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee. &lt;br /&gt; 22But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee. &lt;br /&gt; 23That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth. &lt;br /&gt; 24When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel. &lt;br /&gt; 25When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The harvest is mine and none of it shall be lost, except for the son of apoleias.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Peter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-6504749210885378947?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/6504749210885378947/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/deed-of-ownership.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/6504749210885378947'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/6504749210885378947'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/deed-of-ownership.html' title='The deed of ownership'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-8180991712663415938</id><published>2011-12-29T09:31:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-30T07:50:28.741-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;29 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word swelling, as in the swelling of Jordan, has two different meanings.  It can mean arrogance or majesty.  It is the same word translated “proud” in Job 38:11. It is translated “majesty” in Isaiah 26:10.  In Job 38 it is used for the proud waves that are bounded by the LORD and told this is as far as they will go.  In Isaiah 26 it is the majesty of the LORD that will not be seen by the wicked even though He is teaching it to them out of His favor.  This is the difference; they can’t see it even though it is right in front of their face.  They are blinded by their pride.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Job 38&lt;br /&gt;3Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. &lt;br /&gt;4Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. &lt;br /&gt;5Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? &lt;br /&gt;6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; &lt;br /&gt;7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? &lt;br /&gt;8Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? &lt;br /&gt;9When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, &lt;br /&gt;10And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, &lt;br /&gt;11And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 26&lt;br /&gt;4Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: &lt;br /&gt;5For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. &lt;br /&gt;6The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. &lt;br /&gt;7The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. &lt;br /&gt;8Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. &lt;br /&gt;9With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. &lt;br /&gt;10Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. &lt;br /&gt;11LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them. &lt;br /&gt;12LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. &lt;br /&gt;13O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. &lt;br /&gt;14They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question from Jeremiah 12, “How will you do in the swelling of Jordan,” there is an answer given to such a question.  It is in Isaiah 40:31.  (The word translated peace in the Hebrew and the Greek both have the root meaning of flowing or pouring water.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 40&lt;br /&gt;21Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? &lt;br /&gt;22It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: &lt;br /&gt;23That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. &lt;br /&gt;24Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble. &lt;br /&gt;25To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. &lt;br /&gt;26Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth. &lt;br /&gt;27Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God? &lt;br /&gt;28Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. &lt;br /&gt;29He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. &lt;br /&gt;30Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: &lt;br /&gt;31But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In John 17 the Lord mentions the son of perdition as being the only one lost of those given Him.  The word perdition is translated from the Greek writing apoleias.  It is the same word translated “damnable” in 2 Peter 2:1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Peter 2&lt;br /&gt;1But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. &lt;br /&gt;2And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. &lt;br /&gt;3And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. &lt;br /&gt;4For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; &lt;br /&gt;5And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; &lt;br /&gt;6And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; &lt;br /&gt;7And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: &lt;br /&gt;8(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) &lt;br /&gt;9The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: &lt;br /&gt;10But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A deeper look at the same word shows that it could also have the meaning of off level or out of balance.  The Greek word leios literally means level and is only used once and is translated as “smooth.”  The use is in Luke 3 when quoting Isaiah 40:4 where it is the word plain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 40 &lt;br /&gt;1Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. &lt;br /&gt;2Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD's hand double for all her sins. &lt;br /&gt;3The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. &lt;br /&gt;4Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: &lt;br /&gt;5And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. &lt;br /&gt;6The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: &lt;br /&gt;7The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. &lt;br /&gt;8The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The conclusion is the ones who perish are those who are unable to see what is made plain, those who can’t see what is plainly taught.  The ways of peace they know not.  The proud and the arrogant see nothing but darkness.  The humble see the Majesty. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 125&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-8180991712663415938?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/8180991712663415938/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/hitherto-shalt-thou-come-but-no-further.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/8180991712663415938'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/8180991712663415938'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/hitherto-shalt-thou-come-but-no-further.html' title='Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-2344046911820443057</id><published>2011-12-28T10:02:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-28T10:12:02.326-05:00</updated><title type='text'>New Jerusalem</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;28 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today is going to be review of many things we have talked about in the past.  First about the word Jerusalem’s meaning.   It is literally, teaching peace, with it comes the understanding that this is where we have been traveling to.  It is and has always been learning what peace is and getting there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Exodus 14 talks of the pillar of the cloud removing and going behind the camp of Israel, the words are literally: removed – pulled up (same as, caught up); cloud – the covering; pillar – stand upright.&lt;br /&gt;It goes on to say that Israel saw light but the Egyptians, even though it was right in front of them, saw only darkness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The way of peace is in a reciprocal security of mind, body and estate.  That is the way (or should be as it has been) of civilized society and these opposites are the two form of modern governments that we are faced with.  One puts mind, body and estate at constant risk; and does it with the false promises of temporal security to some through constant attack on that of others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These three aspects of peace are defined in our founding documents as, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  Governments of civilized people are established to secure these rights that are given to all man by God.  This is the way of peace.  These are the First Principles and there is nothing that can be added or taken away from them. They are The Commandments of God and Our Constitution and nothing should be added to or taken away from their foundation.  To the wicked this is darkness.  To US it is light.  There is no peace to the wicked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 59&lt;br /&gt;1Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: &lt;br /&gt;2But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. &lt;br /&gt;3For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. &lt;br /&gt;4None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. &lt;br /&gt;5They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. &lt;br /&gt;6Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. &lt;br /&gt;7Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. &lt;br /&gt;8The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace. &lt;br /&gt;9Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness. &lt;br /&gt;10We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men. &lt;br /&gt;11We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us. &lt;br /&gt;12For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; &lt;br /&gt;13In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. &lt;br /&gt;14And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. &lt;br /&gt;15Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. &lt;br /&gt;16And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him. &lt;br /&gt;17For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak. &lt;br /&gt;18According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence. &lt;br /&gt;19So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. &lt;br /&gt;20And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. &lt;br /&gt;21As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Romans 3, Hebrews 12, Revelation 21 &amp; 22, Psalms 123&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-2344046911820443057?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/2344046911820443057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/new-jerusalem.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/2344046911820443057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/2344046911820443057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/new-jerusalem.html' title='New Jerusalem'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-4330166776956080074</id><published>2011-12-27T08:55:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-27T08:55:13.662-05:00</updated><title type='text'>when they shall say, “Peace and safety;” then sudden destruction cometh upon them</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;27 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I ask you to read 1 Thessalonians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Thessalonians 5&lt;br /&gt; 1But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. &lt;br /&gt; 2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. &lt;br /&gt; 3For 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. &lt;br /&gt; 4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The idea of the Comforter, the Paraclete, do you understand the origin of it?  The context is in the word “rereward,” meaning rear guard as it is used in Isaiah 52:12 and 58:8.  It is in the cloud that went behind the camp between Israel and the Egyptians, Exodus 14.  You need to read it to understand it.  Most won’t.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 52&lt;br /&gt; 11Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD. &lt;br /&gt; 12For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 58&lt;br /&gt; 8Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word that “rereward” is translated from literally means, to gather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you look at these in the context of 1 Thessalonians 4:16 and Isaiah 58:1 being coincided and then look at the Exodus 14 and the cloud you will see it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Thessalonians 4&lt;br /&gt; 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: &lt;br /&gt; 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. &lt;br /&gt; 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 58&lt;br /&gt; 1Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. &lt;br /&gt; 2Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God. &lt;br /&gt; 3Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. &lt;br /&gt; 4Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high. &lt;br /&gt; 5Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? &lt;br /&gt; 6Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exodus 14&lt;br /&gt; 17And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. &lt;br /&gt; 18And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. &lt;br /&gt; 19And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them: &lt;br /&gt; 20And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night. &lt;br /&gt; 21And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. &lt;br /&gt; 22And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. &lt;br /&gt; 23And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. &lt;br /&gt; 24And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is their time to cut and run, and they have while at the same time said it means peace and safety.&lt;br /&gt;They haven’t seen a thing although it is happening right in front of their face.  The dead don’t know they are dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 109&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-4330166776956080074?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/4330166776956080074/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/when-they-shall-say-peace-and-safety.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/4330166776956080074'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/4330166776956080074'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/when-they-shall-say-peace-and-safety.html' title='when they shall say, “Peace and safety;” then sudden destruction cometh upon them'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-7768070280552381398</id><published>2011-12-26T10:53:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-26T10:53:46.066-05:00</updated><title type='text'>peace on earth in men of good will; but to the wicked there is no peace but the wrath of God abideth on him</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;26 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Interlinear Bible shows Nahum 1 verse 15 as being the first verse of chapter 2.  I am sure it was made part of chapter one based on its connection to 1:14 through the meaning of the last part of verse 15, “for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nahum 1&lt;br /&gt;12Thus saith the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more. &lt;br /&gt; 13For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder. &lt;br /&gt; 14And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile. &lt;br /&gt; 15Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to literally translate some of verse 15 so that you will see what is actually being said by the LORD.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word that “peace” is said to be translated from is shalom.  The word written in the Hebrew text is actually shilluwm, literally meaning – a requital.  The root of both words is the same and their full meaning is, secure in mind, body and estate.  Peace is a state of complete security and friendship; with a sense of reciprocity, as in the following words of the Lord saying: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The keeping of the feasts, getting the leaven out of the word, remembering the time leading up to deliverance and the LORD choosing a place, and remembering that the LORD dwells, as will we, in houses not made by man, are all things in preparation for the cutting off of the wicked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The literal meaning of  some of the words are: pass through – cross over and repeat; wicked – ascending failure or ascending destruction; utterly – fully, or totally, or completely; cut off – separation as in severing a sacrifice in two and passing between the two pieces, or to destroy as part of a covenant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point here is that this what is missing in all the good tidings of men who say they are speaking for God.  The full truth is there is peace and it comes in the destruction of those destroying humanity’s true peace.  The good tidings are that there is requital and it is the promise of God who cannot lie.  Any message that just tells of peace without telling the full truth are telling their own creations and therefor a lie.  The full story is “peace on earth in men of good will; but to the wicked there is no peace but the wrath of God abideth on him,” and we are obligated to tell it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 3:16 is a deception when told without the full chapter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 16&lt;br /&gt; 4But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. &lt;br /&gt; 5But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? &lt;br /&gt; 6But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. &lt;br /&gt; 7Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. &lt;br /&gt; 8And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: &lt;br /&gt; 9Of sin, because they believe not on me; &lt;br /&gt; 10Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; &lt;br /&gt; 11Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. &lt;br /&gt; 12I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. &lt;br /&gt; 13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. &lt;br /&gt; 14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 51, 52 &amp; 53, Psalms 118&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-7768070280552381398?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/7768070280552381398/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/peace-on-earth-in-men-of-good-will-but.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/7768070280552381398'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/7768070280552381398'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/peace-on-earth-in-men-of-good-will-but.html' title='peace on earth in men of good will; but to the wicked there is no peace but the wrath of God abideth on him'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-5295830960023513735</id><published>2011-12-24T10:58:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-24T11:10:36.603-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The Word of the LORD Is Good News</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;24 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you notice the similarity between the word of the Angel of the LORD in Luke and the word of the LORD in Nahum?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luke 2&lt;br /&gt;9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. &lt;br /&gt;10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. &lt;br /&gt;11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. &lt;br /&gt;12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. &lt;br /&gt;13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, &lt;br /&gt;14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nahum 1&lt;br /&gt;12Thus saith the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more. &lt;br /&gt;13For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder. &lt;br /&gt;14And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile. &lt;br /&gt;15Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This again is very, very deep.  It starts with the understanding of Nahum 1:15 and its referencing to feasts of Deuteronomy 16 and the performance of vows mentioned in Deuteronomy 23.  (You need to read the chapters.  Most won’t.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deuteronomy 16&lt;br /&gt;16Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty: &lt;br /&gt;17Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deuteronomy 23 (as do these other chapters) makes many references to what we have talked about over the past few days.  It speaks of men of honor keeping their oath.  It speaks of the unclean, the separated and these being abominations.  These are among the defilements brought in when covenant was broken in the mists of the week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is also the corruption Paul is speaking of in 1 Corinthians 15.  You will notice that the gathering that is spoken of in 1 Corinthians 16 is also in this context.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Corinthians 16, and see the verses from Deuteronomy 16 above.&lt;br /&gt;1Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. &lt;br /&gt;2Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. &lt;br /&gt;3And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good news is that the Saviour id the Anointed of the LORD.  &lt;br /&gt;Deuteronomy 23&lt;br /&gt;14For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 133&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-5295830960023513735?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/5295830960023513735/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/word-of-lord-is-good-news.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/5295830960023513735'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/5295830960023513735'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/word-of-lord-is-good-news.html' title='The Word of the LORD Is Good News'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-5639933875817951295</id><published>2011-12-23T10:20:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-24T08:56:43.733-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Woe to the Rebellious Children</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;23 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few days ago the LORD talked to us about the message in Isaiah 30.  The chapter starts off with a warning: 1Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: &lt;br /&gt;2That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, the Republican leadership caved again.  The very least thing they could do until the next election was to hold the line.  That is what we asked as the very least based on the reality of the time.  That was the plan at the 2010 elections; get to a place where we could hold the line until reinforcements could get there.  Instead our weakest point is our leadership that only cares about being liked in the eyes of those destroying the nation.  To them their oath means nothing.  They are not men of honor.  (Now call me what you will for pointing out the truth.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 30 goes on to point this out.  Verse 6 says: The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The meaning here according to the commentary in The Companion Bible is; this refers to the ambassadors with animal laden with treasure who were going back into Egypt.  They were using the riches to make alliances and in doing they were reversing the steps of their national deliverance.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are those who are supposed to be allies but instead choose to make deals with the enemy and in doing betray their nation.  Yes, again I make the point with reference to the Republican leadership.  This is the way of the coreless.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am asking each of the Presidential candidates where they stand on this?  When their time comes we expect them to withstand so much more and have the fortitude to follow through with reversing what has and is destroying this nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the swelling of Jordan.  The current leadership and some of the Presidential candidates have shown that they can’t even be trusted to stand in easy times, what are they going to do when things get tough.  That is a reference to Jeremiah 12.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will just end by saying that we need to replace these guys and also get back to discussing solutions that transcend the temporal and are based in the steps to get to our original form.  Remember? It was a form that relied on truth and the understanding of human nature and its tendency to, without proper means of self-control, decline into animalistic domination and abuse of other men.  The Ten Commandments were the standard of our understanding of what the appropriate focus of worship should be and how we should behave with our fellow man.  Our Constitution was set up to limit men in government who didn’t believe in or care about these transcendent truths.  That is a reference to what we stated at our Declaration of Independence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 30, Jeremiah 12&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Father, please tell us your will; help us to hear it and do it, in the earth as it is in heaven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. &lt;br /&gt;3The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. &lt;br /&gt;4He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. &lt;br /&gt;5The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein. &lt;br /&gt;6Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him. &lt;br /&gt;7The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. &lt;br /&gt;8But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies. &lt;br /&gt;9What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time. &lt;br /&gt;10For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry. &lt;br /&gt;11There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor. &lt;br /&gt;12Thus saith the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more. &lt;br /&gt;13For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder. &lt;br /&gt;14And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile. &lt;br /&gt;15Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you Father!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The time of warning has ended, as I said.&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 97&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-5639933875817951295?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/5639933875817951295/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/woe-to-rebellious-children.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/5639933875817951295'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/5639933875817951295'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/woe-to-rebellious-children.html' title='Woe to the Rebellious Children'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-7953801036563296733</id><published>2011-12-22T10:04:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-22T10:06:38.201-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Questions and answers</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;22 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the general election coming in the next year and seeing Eric Holder is playing the race card again trying to shut down the investigation into his crimes against the Constitution and therefore the people I thought it only appropriate to post a few past letters that may help him answer his own question.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starting off some of my comments on the Obama coronation beginning with repeating some words from (I think it was Maya Angelo) a poem that was recited their and then following up with some other comments from other great racists and bullies (Rev. Wright and the Erics, Holder, and Dyson) of our time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I do start I have a question that isn’t being asked by anyone else: Is the Jim Sensenbrenner remark a just furthering and promoting of the same method of observation and assessment that was earlier espoused by Axelrod for use against Newt?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From 20 January 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry this is late; had a uniform to darn.  Then the earth was trembling under my feet.&lt;br /&gt;Then I said I am white, let me do right.  &lt;br /&gt;What a bunch of idiocy.  You think we are not in trouble?  &lt;br /&gt;They aren’t very intelligent.  I am not going to pretend with the beasties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The theme of the day is, everything about the country has been screwed up until now and Obama has come to save us.  We haven’t fixed it with his coming, that is just the first thing we have done right, but if we do whatever he says he will lead us to utopia.  &lt;br /&gt;The rev. summed it up with his take on “white man’s greed runs a world in need.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me tell you another story about myself.  When I was in my teens I was ashamed of being white.  The crowd I hung out with all felt the same.  We were ashamed because we saw most whites as cowards.  Everywhere we looked whites wouldn’t stand up to bullying and they were always being taken advantage of.  &lt;br /&gt;We rebelled against that and we fought back. You push me and I will blacken your eye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here we are again. We are supposed to just sit here and be insulted and bullied; and just because we are white.  I will not be bullied.  I don’t care if you are white, brown, black, yellow, or red; push me and I will blacken your eye, figuratively speaking, of course.  That is the difference, they care only about the color; I care only about the push.&lt;br /&gt;The truth is the only group insulted during this event was whites.  Why, because most sit there and take it without fighting back.  Where is the outrage?  Is this the new tone?  Is this the change?  Where is the outrage?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the term for the irrational fear and demonization of white people? leukosphobeo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 118, Hebrews 13, Ecclesiastes 7 &amp; 8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From 18 February 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eric Holder says "Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards," &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He went on to explain by saying, "It is an issue we have never been at ease with and, given our nation's history, this is in some ways understandable," Holder said. "If we are to make progress in this area, we must feel comfortable enough with one another and tolerant enough of each other to have frank conversations about the racial matters that continue to divide us." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, I want to talk.  The reason we don't talk is the bullying.  Everything is racist.  Everything is a victimization of blacks.  There can be no criticism because it is always reduced to white folks being racists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eric Holder picked a bad day to make this argument.  “NEW YORK (CNN) -- A New York Post cartoon Wednesday drew fire from civil rights activist Al Sharpton, who says the image invokes a history of racism to suggest that an ape wrote President Obama's economic stimulus package.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al, and maybe Reverend Jessie with him, will be showing up at the Post sometime soon to try to collect the shakedown money that always follows these types of false accusations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eric Holder needs to direct his accusation of Coward at people like Al and Jessie.  They are too cowardly to address the real issues and instead fall cowardly back on their intimidation, and bullying tactics.  Ask the racists why we don’t “feel comfortable enough with one another and tolerant enough of each other to have frank conversations about the racial matters that continue to divide us.”&lt;br /&gt;We will never get anywhere like this.  These racist accusers use racial hatred and stereo typing to demonize for their own self enrichment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will fight this type of bullying.  I am confident enough to point out who the true racist are.  Assimilation is two parted.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalm 120&lt;br /&gt;1In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. &lt;br /&gt;2Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. &lt;br /&gt;3What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? &lt;br /&gt;4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. &lt;br /&gt;5Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! &lt;br /&gt;6My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. &lt;br /&gt;7I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From 20 February, 2009 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Counter point to: Commentary: Holder wants to tear down wall of race, by Michael Eric Dyson and can be read at http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/02/20/dyson.holder/index.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The premise of Mr. Dyson's commentary is that we, white folk, miss the point and the brilliance of the Eric Holder remarks. He points out that we white folk "while we're pointing out the trees of misperception in someone else's eye, we're blinded by, and to, the forest in our own."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Dyson is an intellectual idiot.  He used these philosophical arguments that mean nothing and have no attachment to the reality we all experience each day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Examine these statements by Dyson. "Holder laments the segregation of black history into a single month since the knowledge of what blacks have done to make this country better is worthy of systematic study integrated into the standard curriculum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holder understands that the heroic efforts of black activists and intellectuals in the past forced America to clarify its ideals in the crucible of struggle that helped to define the American character."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Dyson, Mr. Holder and their ilk need to understand that they don’t understand.  Assimilation is two parted.  They need to understand that we see it as the above statements being more accurate if written without the words black.  They only see from the black only perspective.&lt;br /&gt;Black American achievement deserves no greater position than any other achievement. It is the status of the achievement that determines position of recognition, not any physical quality of the achiever.  The same with all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These last statements will make my point.  They will call me a racist because I said "their ilk."  Everyone, including Mr. Dyson knows what I mean are the race mongers, the trouble peddlers, the traders in hate perpetuation, the false accusers, and that ilk.  He will twist it into a race thing in order to discredit and bully me.  That is what they do at every turn. That is why we (US) have a conversation barrier. That is the forest I see that is made up of so, so many trees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This ilk will never get it until they understand that to have assimilated means when you’re spoken of you aren’t spoken of as a hyphenated American nor do you hear it always as if you were spoken of as a hyphenated American.  If you hear it that way always, it is a you thing and you haven’t assimilated.  If it is real racism then we (US) will all, all Americans, fight against it.&lt;br /&gt;That is who WE are.  We are an US, not an US and them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Dyson, Mr. Holder and their ilk need to understand, they will destroy themselves with these hyphens.  Get over it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I pray they see the light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can’t let them divide US.  Do the research.  We were an US after 911.  That didn’t work for the traders in hate and they set out to divide US up for their own self interest. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LORD, open their eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-7953801036563296733?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/7953801036563296733/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/questions-and-answers.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/7953801036563296733'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/7953801036563296733'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/questions-and-answers.html' title='Questions and answers'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-2701109148363517627</id><published>2011-12-21T08:57:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-21T08:57:50.599-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Anah-tolat’ath, worms with mouths but no ears</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;21 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant, Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God: That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your fathers confirmed the covenant and obeyed My voice.  In the midst of the time you broke it and set up you abominations that have brought this desolation.  Now is, this is, the swelling of Jordan and the year of the consummation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore thus saith the LORD of the men of Anah-tolat’ath, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand: Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine: And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anah-tolat’ath, even the year of their visitation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These back talking worms have all the answers but have none in reality. They can’t stop their mouths and say they have no guilt.  And the way of peace have they not known.

And again, The Lord shall judge his people. &lt;br /&gt; 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 27 &amp; 108&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-2701109148363517627?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/2701109148363517627/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/anah-tolatath-worms-with-mouths-but-no.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/2701109148363517627'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/2701109148363517627'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/anah-tolatath-worms-with-mouths-but-no.html' title='Anah-tolat’ath, worms with mouths but no ears'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-293227378751467267</id><published>2011-12-20T09:25:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-20T09:25:50.942-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Thus ends the warning</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;20 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I listened for just a few minutes to the some of the religious and the political channels last night.&lt;br /&gt;It was long enough to realize that there are many, most, that are sticking with their devised understanding, therefore their lies about the reality of this world.  They are all telling themselves what good they have done and they base their authority to deceive in their good intentions.  They tell themselves what good things they have done.  They are living in the delusion that tells them their intentions override the abyss they have led the world to.  They refuse what is right in front of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who do you think I am?  If I joined them I would be accepted and be just another deceiver like them fooling people into thinking I have some new answer.  I am the difference.  I am the changer.  I am the one who has been chosen by God to bring all things to your remembrance.  Until you listen to this voice you will continue in death and hell.  I know who I am.   Your response to this is the same as it always is.  The difference is that there is nothing more you can do to me or say about me that you haven’t already done.  The difference is that at some point the world will see that you are destroying them while I am come to offer salvation to any and all who will listen.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is so simple.  Now we have reached a point that no matter how good you think you are, no matter what your works have been you lack the one small thing that is required of you.  The one thing is to shut your mouth and listen.  But as has been proven it is the one thing you are incapable of.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus ends the warning against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 36&lt;br /&gt;  1The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. &lt;br /&gt; 2For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. &lt;br /&gt; 3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. &lt;br /&gt; 4He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil. &lt;br /&gt; 5Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. &lt;br /&gt; 6Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. &lt;br /&gt; 7How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. &lt;br /&gt; 8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. &lt;br /&gt; 9For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. &lt;br /&gt; 10O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. &lt;br /&gt; 11Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me. &lt;br /&gt; 12There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Romans 3&lt;br /&gt; 1What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? &lt;br /&gt; 2Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. &lt;br /&gt; 3For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? &lt;br /&gt; 4God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. &lt;br /&gt; 5But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) &lt;br /&gt; 6God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? &lt;br /&gt; 7For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? &lt;br /&gt; 8And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just. &lt;br /&gt; 9What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; &lt;br /&gt; 10As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: &lt;br /&gt; 11There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. &lt;br /&gt; 12They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. &lt;br /&gt; 13Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: &lt;br /&gt; 14Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: &lt;br /&gt; 15Their feet are swift to shed blood: &lt;br /&gt; 16Destruction and misery are in their ways: &lt;br /&gt; 17And the way of peace have they not known: &lt;br /&gt; 18There is no fear of God before their eyes. &lt;br /&gt; 19Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. &lt;br /&gt; 20Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. &lt;br /&gt; 21But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; &lt;br /&gt; 22Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: &lt;br /&gt; 23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; &lt;br /&gt; 24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: &lt;br /&gt; 25Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; &lt;br /&gt; 26To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. &lt;br /&gt; 27Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. &lt;br /&gt; 28Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. &lt;br /&gt; 29Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: &lt;br /&gt; 30Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. &lt;br /&gt; 31Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 59&lt;br /&gt; 1Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: &lt;br /&gt; 2But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. &lt;br /&gt; 3For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. &lt;br /&gt; 4None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. &lt;br /&gt; 5They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. &lt;br /&gt; 6Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. &lt;br /&gt; 7Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. &lt;br /&gt; 8The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace. &lt;br /&gt; 9Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness. &lt;br /&gt; 10We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men. &lt;br /&gt; 11We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us. &lt;br /&gt; 12For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; &lt;br /&gt; 13In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. &lt;br /&gt; 14And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. &lt;br /&gt; 15Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. &lt;br /&gt; 16And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him. &lt;br /&gt; 17For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak. &lt;br /&gt; 18According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence. &lt;br /&gt; 19So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. &lt;br /&gt; 20And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. &lt;br /&gt; 21As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 51, 52 &amp; 53 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-293227378751467267?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/293227378751467267/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/thus-ends-warning.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/293227378751467267'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/293227378751467267'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/thus-ends-warning.html' title='Thus ends the warning'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-4624129805042059419</id><published>2011-12-19T09:30:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-19T09:30:13.830-05:00</updated><title type='text'>One Dear Leader down and the other going further up the Pole</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;19 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am making the point that it is the leadership that causes the continued corruption.  It has caused it in the perversion of the understanding of God’s involvement and Headship in all governing.  This is a battle, My battle, against the rebels and their treason.  I don’t need to do it with overuse of force.  I gave you the mind to be able to understand.  This is life from the dead.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 29 says:&lt;br /&gt; 18And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. &lt;br /&gt; 19The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. &lt;br /&gt; 20For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off: &lt;br /&gt; 21That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought. &lt;br /&gt; 22Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale. &lt;br /&gt; 23But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. &lt;br /&gt; 24They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you know; when the Holy Spirit uses the term, “house of Jacob” it is referring to the rebellious state of His people.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next Chapter starts with this:&lt;br /&gt; 1Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of Me; and that cover with a covering, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It ends with statements telling that the leaders are causing the people to err and giving the LORD’s response.  It literally says that there is a bridle on the jaws of the people misleading them, and the word misleading is literally, to vacillate. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 30&lt;br /&gt; 28And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should read Isaiah 29, 30, and 31.  These implicate the misleaders and then tell that the end is One voice that will be heard.  This is the Grace of the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen to Jehovah and live or remain dead with all these others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, if you want to understand it even better, after you read the above mentioned chapters read James 3, 4 &amp; 5.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ephesians 6&lt;br /&gt; 10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. &lt;br /&gt; 11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. &lt;br /&gt; 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. &lt;br /&gt; 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. &lt;br /&gt; 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; &lt;br /&gt; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; &lt;br /&gt; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. &lt;br /&gt; 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: &lt;br /&gt; 18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; &lt;br /&gt; 19And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, &lt;br /&gt; 20For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zechariah 4&lt;br /&gt; 6Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, “Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. &lt;br /&gt; 7Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the Headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, ‘Grace, grace unto it.’”&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Psalms 19&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-4624129805042059419?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/4624129805042059419/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/one-dear-leader-down-and-other-going.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/4624129805042059419'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/4624129805042059419'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/one-dear-leader-down-and-other-going.html' title='One Dear Leader down and the other going further up the Pole'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-845730629905018130</id><published>2011-12-18T10:42:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-18T21:34:26.106-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Created man sees</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;18 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 24 has many obviously missed references to the perceptions of things that seem to be the same while in fact they are being degraded to an unmistakable, unavoidable, overwhelming truth of their corruption.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I go on with this I am going to point out that Matthew 24 cannot be seen in its proper context without what is said by the Lord and documented in Matthew 23. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 24 begins with the question bein g asked about seeing and it is in the context of seeing thinking that they will always see it the same way.  The Lord tells that over time these things will be cast down.  He then goes on to explain what causes the decline.  The chapter finishes with the different seeing and this meaning when you fully understand these things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the same words of the Lord that are later used to say He said something he never said.  During this false accusation we also see that The Lord says nothing to them.  This is also to signify that there are many who would say the Lord said when he didn’t say anything to them.&lt;br /&gt;He also tells  when He will answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark 14&lt;br /&gt;57And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, &lt;br /&gt;58We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. &lt;br /&gt;59But neither so did their witness agree together. &lt;br /&gt;60And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? &lt;br /&gt;61But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? &lt;br /&gt;62And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. &lt;br /&gt;63Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? &lt;br /&gt;64Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. &lt;br /&gt;65And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now to read this outlined you should again read Psalms 102. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 51 &amp; 61&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Corinthians 13&lt;br /&gt;9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. &lt;br /&gt;10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. &lt;br /&gt;11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. &lt;br /&gt;12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Peter 3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-845730629905018130?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/845730629905018130/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/created-man-sees.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/845730629905018130'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/845730629905018130'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/created-man-sees.html' title='Created man sees'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-7230115064911125986</id><published>2011-12-15T08:23:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-15T08:23:38.004-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Wisdom is better than strength</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;15 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of abominations that bring US to desolation standing where it shouldn’t be, other than the creation of men in church doctrine, Obama was here in town yesterday.  I had a friend who told me about it last night and how he and many other troops were forced to waste an entire day just to listen to the Dear Leader.  My friend told me his impression of the speech was that Obama came to tell them of all that he had done for them and would do for them, while they all knew there wasn’t any money to do it and if it could be done it wasn’t Obama but the tax payers who would be doing it.   The troops are mostly smart folk and they knew they were nothing more than useful props.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Obama is dumber than a rock.  Again sorry, that was supposed to be my inside voice.  What I meant to say is, he isn’t very intelligent as is demonstrated by his not being able to see that people do see that he is trying to con them.  The only ones who will vote for him and still support him are those in on or benefiting from the con, or those who are still conned and therefore the useful idiots of the leftists.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ecclesiastes 9&lt;br /&gt; 1For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them. &lt;br /&gt; 2All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath. &lt;br /&gt; 3This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 4For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. &lt;br /&gt; 5For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. &lt;br /&gt; 6Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 7Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. &lt;br /&gt; 8Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment. &lt;br /&gt; 9Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. &lt;br /&gt; 10Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 11I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. &lt;br /&gt; 12For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 13This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me: &lt;br /&gt; 14There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: &lt;br /&gt; 15Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;16Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard. &lt;br /&gt; 17The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools. &lt;br /&gt; 18Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 86&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-7230115064911125986?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/7230115064911125986/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/wisdom-is-better-than-strength.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/7230115064911125986'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/7230115064911125986'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/wisdom-is-better-than-strength.html' title='Wisdom is better than strength'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-4983850353365019266</id><published>2011-12-14T09:15:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-14T09:20:17.196-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The 70 Years  Accomplished</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;14 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to tell you about the 70 years of Daniel, or the so called by the false prophet(s) of our time.  They cut them up and tell you that this or that is what you should be looking for as a sign.  They tell when and where to look when in truth they are the confusion that is called Babylon and has taken the whole world to the brink by giving their own word rather than the word that is coming from Jehovah.  They say, “He said” this or that when I haven’t said anything to them.  They mix their lies with My truth.  This is the treason.  (And, yes I am speaking in the first person.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 70 years, as Daniel explains, are the 70 years that are spoken of by Jeremiah, therefore they must coincide in events and sequence.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel 9&lt;br /&gt;2In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word translated desolation here is the same as Horeb. See my letter of 11 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word translated accomplish is the same word used in Jeremiah 25: 12 and 34 and 29:10.  In both these chapters are the events that make up what happens in the 70 years and what happens at the end of it.  The word is also used in Isaiah 40:2.  It is filled to the full and the fully ripe fruit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The passages in Jeremiah tell that the problem is the false prophets telling that the LORD spoke to them when He says He hasn’t said anything to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He says that at the ripening of this fruit, it’s bringing you to the desolation (Horeb), He will visit and preform His good word.   The keys here are that it is the end of the 70 years desolation, it is Jehovah Himself that comes and He performs His good word and restores.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The abominations that sit where they shouldn’t be have brought you to this desolation.&lt;br /&gt;You should read the chapters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeremiah 29&lt;br /&gt;8For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. &lt;br /&gt;9For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD. &lt;br /&gt;10For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. &lt;br /&gt;11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. &lt;br /&gt;12Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. &lt;br /&gt;13And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. &lt;br /&gt;14And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. &lt;br /&gt;15Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon; &lt;br /&gt;16Know that thus saith the LORD of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity; &lt;br /&gt;17Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil. &lt;br /&gt;18And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them: &lt;br /&gt;19Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you not read the same thing from the mouth of the Lord?  Why haven’t you heard?  There are many who have crept in and they tell you everywhere to look other that where you should be.&lt;br /&gt;Jeremiah 29 above tells you where you should be looking and it isn’t to these false prophets.&lt;br /&gt;They are in the same place the Lord told you they would be, in His vineyard, and doing the same thing they have always done.  And He is exactly where He told you He would be and doing what He told you He would.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 21&lt;br /&gt;33Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: &lt;br /&gt;34And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. &lt;br /&gt;35And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. &lt;br /&gt;36Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. &lt;br /&gt;37But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. &lt;br /&gt;38But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. &lt;br /&gt;39And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. &lt;br /&gt;40When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? &lt;br /&gt;41They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. &lt;br /&gt;42Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hebrews 6 &amp; 7, Psalms 2&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-4983850353365019266?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/4983850353365019266/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/70-years-accomplished.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/4983850353365019266'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/4983850353365019266'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/70-years-accomplished.html' title='The 70 Years  Accomplished'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-6860952246943893612</id><published>2011-12-12T09:33:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-12T09:33:41.848-05:00</updated><title type='text'>reject the treason</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;12 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to use the heathen world (The secular atheist, humanist, God believing in claim only) response to Tim Tebow as it demonstrates several aspects of truth and including why we can’t mix beliefs with those who aren’t believers.  Or even more specifically why we can’t let them define who we are or who God is and what we and He are supposed to be in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I decided to do this last night after hearing Bob Costas’ twisted and convoluted attempt to explain away any meaning to the Tebow success; in doing tell us who God is, what He has time for, interest in and therefore He has no part in Tebow’s success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will start this with two Scriptural Statements that apply.   &lt;br /&gt;John 15&lt;br /&gt;20Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. &lt;br /&gt; 21But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. &lt;br /&gt; 22If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. &lt;br /&gt; 23He that hateth me hateth my Father also. &lt;br /&gt; 24If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. &lt;br /&gt; 25But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And,&lt;br /&gt;John 17&lt;br /&gt; 14I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. &lt;br /&gt; 15I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact is the Bible is documentation of God’s involvement with humanity.  The truth is opposite of Costas’ claim, man couldn’t care less what God’s says, or about His involvement.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 3&lt;br /&gt; 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. &lt;br /&gt; 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. &lt;br /&gt; 18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. &lt;br /&gt; 19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. &lt;br /&gt; 20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. &lt;br /&gt; 21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On to the mixing and not being yoked together with unbelievers; This is a state of not letting the truth of God and what He has shown us of truth intermix with the abominations, the distortions and delusions of the heathen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now back to Immanuel and Isaiah 8.  The word is transliterated in verse 8 and then is translated in verse 10 as “God with us.”  Verse 11 says that the God with us taught us not to walk in the ways of these calling for a confederacy.  The word translated confederacy is also translated conspiracy and treason.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A word at the origin of the word translated Immanuel is translated twice as “hide” in Ezekiel 28 and 31.  Both are in reference to the devil as the Assyrian, as is the treason of Isaiah 8 and those calling for a confederacy between the truth as told By God and the lies of the conspiracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 8&lt;br /&gt;10Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. &lt;br /&gt; 11For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, &lt;br /&gt; 12Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. &lt;br /&gt; 13Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. &lt;br /&gt; 14And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. &lt;br /&gt; 15And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. &lt;br /&gt; 16Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. &lt;br /&gt; 17And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eat of the hidden manna.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what you must understand.  The devil has mixed the tares in with the truth and in doing has corrupted all reality.  This was the original conspiracy in the garden as is shown in the Ezekiel chapters.  We know it was the temptation presented to and rejected by the Lord in the wilderness.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Revelation 2&lt;br /&gt; 12And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; &lt;br /&gt; 13I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. &lt;br /&gt; 14But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. &lt;br /&gt; 15So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. &lt;br /&gt; 16Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. &lt;br /&gt; 17He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I call on you to reject the treason as well.  This is deep stuff.&lt;br /&gt;Thank you Father.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-6860952246943893612?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/6860952246943893612/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/reject-treason.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/6860952246943893612'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/6860952246943893612'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/reject-treason.html' title='reject the treason'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-5148001823987924929</id><published>2011-12-11T10:03:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-11T10:10:05.663-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Horeb to Zion</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;11 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday’s verse of the day at biblegateway.com was Deuteronomy 18:15.&lt;br /&gt;The full context of the surrounding verses is with references to the abominations of the nations, and of the events at Horeb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. &lt;br /&gt;10There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. &lt;br /&gt;11Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. &lt;br /&gt;12For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. &lt;br /&gt;13Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. &lt;br /&gt;14For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do. &lt;br /&gt;15The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; &lt;br /&gt;16According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. &lt;br /&gt;17And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In understanding Horeb’s meaning is desolation we see the fuller meaning of the many references to the events there.  We see the abominations which brought them to desolation.  &lt;br /&gt;Horeb is a symbol of being untaught the ways of the uncivilized and being retaught the ways of the civilized.  You will see it in Deuteronomy 5 where Moses gathers all Israel and restates the events at Horeb and the Ten Commandments.  It is further explained almost point by point in Hebrews 12.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would recommend that you read these chapters and then also 1 Corinthians 10 and Hebrews 2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I watched the debate last night and it as with all political discourse was filled with seemingly intelligent assertions of solution.  The trouble is that none will work unless underpinned with the understanding of the rules of civilized society.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is why there cannot be a mixing, an unequal yoking with the abominations.  Look at the world and the result.  They aren’t going to just stop.  What they do they do out of ignorance and surrendering to their lowest nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 102&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-5148001823987924929?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/5148001823987924929/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/horeb-to-zion.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/5148001823987924929'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/5148001823987924929'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/horeb-to-zion.html' title='Horeb to Zion'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-4429519217147728966</id><published>2011-12-09T09:49:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-09T09:49:19.229-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Anathema, Maranatha</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;9 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word disciples is used many times translated from the Greek word mathetes, literally meaning learner or pupil.  It is only translated from Hebrew one time.  That is in Isaiah 8:16 and from the word limmud, meaning and also translated as taught.  (Very similar origin as Lemuel of Proverbs 31.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The passage in Isaiah 8 is: O Immanuel.&lt;br /&gt; 9Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. &lt;br /&gt; 10Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. &lt;br /&gt; 11For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, &lt;br /&gt; 12Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. &lt;br /&gt; 13Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. &lt;br /&gt; 14And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. &lt;br /&gt; 15And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. &lt;br /&gt; 16Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. &lt;br /&gt; 17And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. &lt;br /&gt; 18Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. &lt;br /&gt; 19And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? &lt;br /&gt; 20To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. &lt;br /&gt; 21And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward. &lt;br /&gt; 22And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word “seal” in verse 16 literally means close up. It is also translated as, “make an end”&lt;br /&gt;In Daniel 9:24. (No escape, from the truth.)&lt;br /&gt; 24Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word limmud is translated as “taught” in Isaiah 54:&lt;br /&gt; 13And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children. &lt;br /&gt; 14In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. &lt;br /&gt; 15Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. &lt;br /&gt; 16Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. &lt;br /&gt; 17No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;22If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Corinthians 16, Psalms 27&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-4429519217147728966?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/4429519217147728966/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/anathema-maranatha.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/4429519217147728966'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/4429519217147728966'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/anathema-maranatha.html' title='Anathema, Maranatha'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-237461961204899668</id><published>2011-12-08T09:53:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-08T09:53:11.364-05:00</updated><title type='text'>God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;8 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fire makers and fire takers are the primal example of where we stand and the same lesson must be learned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the beginning all men are cold and discontent with the condition.  One man learns to start fire.  Others come to the fire and are also warmed and know it is good.  Some decide they want to take a bit of fire to their own and spend time figuring out how.  Once a way is devised they realize it doesn’t last and eventually they have to come back to the fire and take more.  This grows to the point that there are more takers of the fire than makers.  When the makers decide to not let the takers take the takers kill the makers.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;None of the takers ever learned to make fire so the light goes out and all man is cold again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the history of man and the purpose of God imparting His wisdom to man.  This is the story of the deceivers who slither in the dust of the earth deceiving man into not listening.  They develop arguments based on partial truth and twist evidence and falsely accuse.   This leads to the original taking and once this fall takes place the eventual end is the murder of the innocent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the story of a garden and a tree.  It is a story of God and man in harmony waking together.  It is the story the corruption of truth and mischaracterization of intent.  It is simplicity complicated into confusion.  It is life and death.  It is the story of the full creation of humanity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will tell you because I do know; there is only one way civilization works.  There are few laws and in understanding them, meaning hearing and then acting governed by them, is where true happiness is found.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In full disclosure, there is one person who is the Lord of these rules and the world is His.  He has shown you the full extent of His pure motives, by coming into the world to lead you through the creation.  He was willing to come and die to bring this truth to the world.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the story of a cross on a hill.  It is the story of man out of harmony with God and wandering on his own.  It is God coming to earth as a man to reconcile man to Himself and from the corruption.  It is confusion turned back by the simplicity of truth.  It is life from death.  It is the story of the creation of man in God’s image of what He knows man can be.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ezekiel 36 &amp; 37&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Corinthians 5 &amp; 6&lt;br /&gt; 14For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: &lt;br /&gt; 15And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. &lt;br /&gt; 16Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. &lt;br /&gt; 17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. &lt;br /&gt; 18And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; &lt;br /&gt; 19To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. &lt;br /&gt; 20Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. &lt;br /&gt; 21For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 78&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-237461961204899668?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/237461961204899668/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/god-who-hath-reconciled-us-to-himself.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/237461961204899668'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/237461961204899668'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/god-who-hath-reconciled-us-to-himself.html' title='God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-8211690297684979177</id><published>2011-12-07T09:45:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-07T09:45:10.983-05:00</updated><title type='text'>for four which it cannot bear</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;7 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When is it the end?  When is the extreme reached?&lt;br /&gt;It is when there is no longer any chance of escape.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With humanity it is when your ways have compounded and these abominations have brought on the consummation.  The scriptural picture is seen in the references to the four corners of the earth and the meaning of complete enclosure and the attempts to escape taking all humanity into the corners with nowhere else to run.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The references here are Ezekiel 6 &amp; 7, Proverbs 30 telling of the four things that the earth cannon bear up under, and the again the strong drink of Proverbs 31, and Isaiah 11.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Proverbs 30 there are three things that make the earth tremble.  This trembling in most cases causes the three to be removed so that the fourth doesn’t occur.  But now we have come to where the world sees what is coming and that it is the end of their abominations so they cause the forth.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Proverbs 30&lt;br /&gt; 20Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness. &lt;br /&gt; 21For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear: &lt;br /&gt; 22For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat; &lt;br /&gt; 23For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tell you this restraining and driving out of the heir is what is spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, read Luke 12:54 through chapter 13.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 144&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-8211690297684979177?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/8211690297684979177/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/for-four-which-it-cannot-bear.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/8211690297684979177'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/8211690297684979177'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/for-four-which-it-cannot-bear.html' title='for four which it cannot bear'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-2592599075538145595</id><published>2011-12-06T08:54:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-06T09:40:37.405-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Truthful Political Analysis</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;6 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to give truthful political analysis today, as opposed to most of the other agenda driven spin aimed at driving the herd. The truth will set you free to make up your own mind knowing that the eventual macro outcome and God’s plan will endure.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The political pundits are all saying that the eventual Republican nominee will determine the outcome.  Not true.  No matter which conservative candidate wins the nomination they win the general election in a landslide.   The media and the political establishment know this and therefore the lies they tell are all part of their trying to “bloody” the primary.  They want everyone thinking that if someone other than their candidate gets nominated they can’t win the general election.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This started originally as part of their attempt to “McCain” us with Romney or Huntsman.  I will say that either Romney or Huntsman would be an improvement over Obama but neither will get the nomination due to their relatively liberal pragmatic tendencies.  The media, as opposed to the Republican establishment, acknowledges this reality and therefor has moved on to the predicted strategy of driving wedges between conservative factions.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This takes us to what I used to decide who the best candidate would be.  Other than the obvious conservative consistency the main factor for me now is who shows the fortitude that gives me the most confidence they will follow through with fundamental restoration of Constitutional restricted government; and willingly able to explain it with its moral underpinnings.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lack of moral emphasis is what has allowed the decline of civil society in exchange for votes, power and control.  Proper morality is the difference between cultivating discontent of position into either pursuing happiness through achievement where it is truly found, or pursuing it through confiscation and forced redistribution.  The latter is the false utopia with the result of equality of misery without the opportunity to every pursue true happiness, and the state controlling the discontent through ever increasing projections of power and restricting of rights.  It is the difference between the American Dream and the Socialist nightmare the world is now living.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This same fortitude understands this is a job that must be completed and not just taken to a temporarily stabilized position in the descent allowing for future continuation toward societal collapse. It is the vigilance that understands that the socialists will never give up and neither can we.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, to get the focus back where it should be, Obama is the champion of the decline and has a record of defending and promoting the nightmare.  Republican candidates are arguing about who once had these destructive positions and who has turned farther from them.  Obama is still there and is chained to them.  The landslide against him will come with the inevitable drastic contrast to any one of the possible opponents; and the more drastic the contrast the bigger the margin of victory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 22&lt;br /&gt;19And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down. &lt;br /&gt;20And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah: &lt;br /&gt;21And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. &lt;br /&gt;22And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. &lt;br /&gt;23And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house. &lt;br /&gt;24And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons. &lt;br /&gt;25In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Revelation 3&lt;br /&gt;7And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; &lt;br /&gt;8I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. &lt;br /&gt;9Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. &lt;br /&gt;10Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. &lt;br /&gt;11Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. &lt;br /&gt;12Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. &lt;br /&gt;13He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Isaiah 22 the LORD calls this person who will open and none will shut, “my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah.”  Eliakim is literally – God of Raising, and Hilkiah – Portion of Yah.  (That puts this in the context of yesterday’s message.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Revelation 3 we see this same person as the Messiah and in addressing now the Church of Philadelphia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This same person is also defined in Isaiah 45 as Cyrus.  You should do your own word study on the name, but I will tell you that it is what is being said in Colossians 2:9.&lt;br /&gt;9For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. &lt;br /&gt;10And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: &lt;br /&gt;11In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: &lt;br /&gt;12Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. &lt;br /&gt;13And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; &lt;br /&gt;14Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; &lt;br /&gt;15And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hebrews 1, Psalms 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 72&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-2592599075538145595?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/2592599075538145595/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/truthful-political-analysis.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/2592599075538145595'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/2592599075538145595'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/truthful-political-analysis.html' title='Truthful Political Analysis'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-5742116327509846367</id><published>2011-12-05T09:00:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-05T09:00:57.862-05:00</updated><title type='text'>I am endorsing Michele Bachmann</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;5 December 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to say some things that  you will need to draw your own conclusions on and the act as you feel is required.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was the Lord’s raising of Jairus’ daughter from the dead a sign, or was it a prophetic occurrence to show a future sign that He also told of?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You’re going to have to read Luke 8:40 – 56.  The name Jairus literally translates from two Hebrew words meaning Yah and illumination. The further meaning would be that it is the illumination of the rising sun in the east and the light shining from that.  You should note here the similarity to the Lord’s words about the sign and knowing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 24&lt;br /&gt; 27For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. &lt;br /&gt; 28For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. &lt;br /&gt; 29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: &lt;br /&gt; 30And 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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many things referred to here.  It is the original sun rise of creation in Genesis 1:14.  It is the sign not asked for when it could have been in Isaiah 7:10 – 17.  It is quoting from Daniel 7:13 and Zechariah 12:10.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These all take us back to Amos 9.  You should read all the chapters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 118&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Maid, arise.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess it is time to endorse a candidate.

I realized this morning where it led and understood it was the Father taking us His way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is about the name again and back to Amos 5 where Moloch is mentioned. (One letter difference here as is common in names in older writing.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? &lt;br /&gt; 21I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. &lt;br /&gt; 22Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. &lt;br /&gt; 23Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. &lt;br /&gt; 24But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. &lt;br /&gt; 25Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? &lt;br /&gt; 26But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. &lt;br /&gt; 27Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last word here in Hebrew are ’Elohiym-tseba’ah Shem and the literal translation being:  God – a mass of persons – Shem.  This is telling the full story of who God is as Jehovah in the earth bringing about the creation of the second man, the Spirit Man.  (read Genesis 9:26)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what is seen in the bloodline to Jesus. Jesus is the name Jehovah Savior.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things changes somewhat, but not really, at the crucifixion.  The way until that point was still hid being the veil.  (The not really part is that God didn’t change.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The separation stated at the setting up of the abomination.&lt;br /&gt;1 Kings 11&lt;br /&gt; 7Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. &lt;br /&gt; 8And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. &lt;br /&gt; 9And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, &lt;br /&gt; 10And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded. &lt;br /&gt; 11Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The quote from Amos and the quote from 1 Kings can be seen in the documented accounts at the Cross.  &lt;br /&gt;Mark 15&lt;br /&gt; 33And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. &lt;br /&gt; 34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? &lt;br /&gt; 35And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. &lt;br /&gt; 36And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down. &lt;br /&gt; 37And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. &lt;br /&gt; 38And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This continuation is seen it the accounts of Melchisedec and this is what is being explained in the book of Hebrews.  In this name we also see the contrast with the Molech (king) and the abominations that were set up. The offense is the same as always, not listening to the instruction, not staying on God’s path.  Melchisedec is said to translate as King of Peace, but when looking at the name literally you see it could be translated just a well into King of Righteousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That takes us to Jeremiah 23.&lt;br /&gt; 1Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. &lt;br /&gt; 2Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD. &lt;br /&gt; 3And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. &lt;br /&gt; 4And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD. &lt;br /&gt; 5Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. &lt;br /&gt; 6In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. &lt;br /&gt; 7Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; &lt;br /&gt; 8But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land. &lt;br /&gt; 9Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness. &lt;br /&gt; 10For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right. &lt;br /&gt; 11For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD. &lt;br /&gt; 12Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD. &lt;br /&gt; 13And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err. &lt;br /&gt; 14I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah. &lt;br /&gt; 15Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land. &lt;br /&gt; 16Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. &lt;br /&gt; 17They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. &lt;br /&gt; 18For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it? &lt;br /&gt; 19Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. &lt;br /&gt; 20The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. &lt;br /&gt; 21I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. &lt;br /&gt; 22But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. &lt;br /&gt; 23Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? &lt;br /&gt; 24Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD. &lt;br /&gt; 25I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. &lt;br /&gt; 26How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; &lt;br /&gt; 27Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. &lt;br /&gt; 28The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. &lt;br /&gt; 29Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-8691990489767518278?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/8691990489767518278/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/in-name.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/8691990489767518278'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/8691990489767518278'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/12/in-name.html' title='In the Name - Psalms 118'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-6625540240650327316</id><published>2011-11-30T10:05:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-30T10:46:10.482-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Food for thought</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;30 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Humanity as it declined into its condition as currently constituted is dead.  The world that is inhabited by old man has died with it.  Now, some may say that look around and the evidence is there of life.  The realities are no brain activity, no heart beat and no breathing.  The life they point to are the creature that inhabit dead organisms to consume them and return them back to dust.  It is the picture of Hinnom, where they sacrificed their children to Molech (King) and the fires still burned now as a trash heap. It is hell and the life they see are the worms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So where does this reality leave us?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 22&lt;br /&gt;Now would be a good time to read Exodus 16 and John 6.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The literal translation of the Hebrew word manna is: What is this? That exact phrase only appears in the scriptures a relatively small number of times (16 times translated as such).  All noteworthy but here are a few:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exodus 13 &lt;br /&gt;14And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luke 20&lt;br /&gt;16He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. &lt;br /&gt;17And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? &lt;br /&gt;18Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. &lt;br /&gt;19And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 16&lt;br /&gt;7Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. &lt;br /&gt;8And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: &lt;br /&gt;9Of sin, because they believe not on me; &lt;br /&gt;10Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; &lt;br /&gt;11Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. &lt;br /&gt;12I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. &lt;br /&gt;13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. &lt;br /&gt;14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. &lt;br /&gt;15All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. &lt;br /&gt;16A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. &lt;br /&gt;17Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? &lt;br /&gt;18They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith. &lt;br /&gt;19Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? &lt;br /&gt;20Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. &lt;br /&gt;21A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some others are Zechariah 5:5 &amp; Genesis 37:10.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; &lt;br /&gt;9I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. &lt;br /&gt;10Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. &lt;br /&gt;11He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. &lt;br /&gt;12And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; &lt;br /&gt;13I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. &lt;br /&gt;14But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. &lt;br /&gt;15So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. &lt;br /&gt;16Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. &lt;br /&gt;17He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-6625540240650327316?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/6625540240650327316/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/food-for-thought.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/6625540240650327316'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/6625540240650327316'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/food-for-thought.html' title='Food for thought'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-6643703922328346561</id><published>2011-11-29T08:37:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-29T08:37:43.040-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Marching Orders</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;29 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeremiah 50&lt;br /&gt; 4In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God. &lt;br /&gt; 5They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten. &lt;br /&gt; 6My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace. &lt;br /&gt; 7All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers. &lt;br /&gt; 8Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luke 10&lt;br /&gt; 1After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. &lt;br /&gt; 2Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. &lt;br /&gt; 3Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. &lt;br /&gt; 4Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. &lt;br /&gt; 5And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. &lt;br /&gt; 6And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. &lt;br /&gt; 7And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. &lt;br /&gt; 8And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: &lt;br /&gt; 9And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. &lt;br /&gt; 10But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, &lt;br /&gt; 11Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. &lt;br /&gt; 12But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. &lt;br /&gt; 13Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. &lt;br /&gt; 14But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. &lt;br /&gt; 15And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell. &lt;br /&gt; 16He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. &lt;br /&gt; 17And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. &lt;br /&gt; 18And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. &lt;br /&gt; 19Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. &lt;br /&gt; 20Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. &lt;br /&gt; 21In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. &lt;br /&gt; 22All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. &lt;br /&gt; 23And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: &lt;br /&gt; 24For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hebrews 1, 2 &amp; 3, Psalms 102&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-6643703922328346561?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/6643703922328346561/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/marching-orders.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/6643703922328346561'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/6643703922328346561'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/marching-orders.html' title='Marching Orders'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-7489604565204940944</id><published>2011-11-28T09:41:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-28T09:41:18.917-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Metanoia = Repentance TOWARD God</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;28 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same message: 2 Timothy 2:19 is a reference to Numbers16:5 and 26.  The word “depart” in both places is from the Hebrew and the Greek words literally meaning turn and turn away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Numbers 16:22 the conspirators are defined as one man of sin, just as the modern group in 2 Thessalonians 2:3.  In 16:35 we see the consuming fire as is also warned of in Hebrews 12:29.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 30When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; &lt;br /&gt; 31(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. &lt;br /&gt; 32For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it? &lt;br /&gt; 33Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live? &lt;br /&gt; 34Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? &lt;br /&gt; 35Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him. &lt;br /&gt; 36Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire. &lt;br /&gt; 37And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt; &lt;br /&gt; 38To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day. &lt;br /&gt; 39Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Timothy 3 &amp; 4, Psalms 77&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From 27 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just saw a facebook posting that made me think and so after a few hours of research I am going to go further with today’s message about the LORD turning us back to the straight path.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The quote was a paraphrased reference to John 14:3.&lt;br /&gt; 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to tell you the conclusion before I go further with telling where it is written.  This says that He is going to turn a place to Himself.  He is the Preparer and the Receiver. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First to understand what the Lord is going to prepare you only need to look at the following verses of this chapter and the Prayer He prays.  He tells that there is nothing in heaven that needs preparing and that the preparation is for the Father’s will to be done in the earth as it is in heaven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To understand the meaning we can also look at the other usages of the same word.  It is the Greek word translated “prepare” each time Isaiah 40:3 is quoted.  &lt;br /&gt; 3The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will also notice that the Comforter, The Holy Spirit that turns us back, is also referenced in John 14 and Isaiah 40.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word in Hebrew that is translated “prepare” is panah, literally meaning – to turn, or actually turn to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Greek word is also translated “made ready” in Revelation 19:7.&lt;br /&gt; 7Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is translated “prepared” also of the bride in Revelation 21:2 when the payer of John 14 has been realized.  The new is that what was unprepared is now ready and the two are now joined and one new creation. (Think of the mystery of Ephesians 5: 31For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. &lt;br /&gt; 32This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. &lt;br /&gt; 2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. &lt;br /&gt; 3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. &lt;br /&gt; 4And 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 the former things are passed away. &lt;br /&gt; 5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. &lt;br /&gt; 6And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. &lt;br /&gt; 7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. &lt;br /&gt; 8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also in closing I will tell you that I knew these things when the Father brought them into my mind.  I did the research to fully prove what I knew was truth.  That is my Father’s business and I must be about my Father’s business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is much more to back this up but I will leave it here and tell one final thing and that is that the word panah is also translated “prepare” in Malachi 3:1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. &lt;br /&gt; 2But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: &lt;br /&gt; 3And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. &lt;br /&gt; 4Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. &lt;br /&gt; 5And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. &lt;br /&gt; 6For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-7489604565204940944?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/7489604565204940944/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/metanoia-repentance-toward-god.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/7489604565204940944'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/7489604565204940944'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/metanoia-repentance-toward-god.html' title='Metanoia = Repentance TOWARD God'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-1471075114859714219</id><published>2011-11-27T21:19:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-27T21:27:31.790-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The turn changes things</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;27 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just saw a facebook posting that made me think and so after a few hours of research I am going to go further with today’s message about the LORD turning us back to the straight path.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The quote was a paraphrased reference to John 14:3.&lt;br /&gt;3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to tell you the conclusion before I go further with telling where it is written.

That is my Father’s business and I must be about my Father’s business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is much more to back this up but I will leave it here and tell one final thing and that is that the word panah is also translated “prepare” in Malachi 3:1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. &lt;br /&gt;2But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: &lt;br /&gt;3And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. &lt;br /&gt;4Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. &lt;br /&gt;5And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. &lt;br /&gt;6For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-1471075114859714219?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/1471075114859714219/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/turn-changes-things.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/1471075114859714219'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/1471075114859714219'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/turn-changes-things.html' title='The turn changes things'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-8875974458746933691</id><published>2011-11-27T09:46:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-27T12:18:55.797-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Walk Humbly</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;27 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Ezekiel 21 there is word used three times in the same verse and no other place in the scriptures.  When this is looked at you will see exactly who God is and what His purpose is in relation to man.  You will see a much different picture than the one most of this world has created.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, back to several earlier points made:&lt;br /&gt;Micah 6  &lt;br /&gt;8He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 30&lt;br /&gt;18And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him. &lt;br /&gt;19For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee. &lt;br /&gt;20And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: &lt;br /&gt;21And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. &lt;br /&gt;22Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here would be a good time to think about the LORD God walking with man in the Garden and then the flaming sword that hedged the course to the tree of life.  (Genesis 3 – in Hebrew) &lt;br /&gt;The point being that this is the path man was set on, ever moving in the direction from the tree of life on one side of death on to the other side of the river to the tree of life and rebirth. As God said, “In the day that man shall eat he shall surely die.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Journey back to life is what this is all about and is the creation of the second man.  The flaming sword is the Holy Spirit that has always been there beside us telling us the straightest course, and each time we stray from that path He is there to turn us back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This brings us to the word “‘avvah” in Ezekiel 21 translated “overturn.”&lt;br /&gt;27I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until He come whose right it is; and I will give it Him.  (You should read this chapter and think of it in the context of 2 Thessalonians 2 and the arrival at the destination of Revelation 22.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The root of ‘avvah is the word ‘avah, meaning crook.  The context of the use in Ezekiel 21 is therefore that the LORD will continually turn us back to the straight path as the transgressors lead away from Him.  The word ‘avah is translated many different ways but is always in the context of not listening to the counsel of God.&lt;br /&gt;It is translated “amiss” in 2 Chronicles 6:37.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;36If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near; &lt;br /&gt;37Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly; &lt;br /&gt;38If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name: &lt;br /&gt;39Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee. &lt;br /&gt;40Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. &lt;br /&gt;41Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness. &lt;br /&gt;42O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is translated as “perverted” in Job 33:27.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;23If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: &lt;br /&gt;24Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. &lt;br /&gt;25His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth: &lt;br /&gt;26He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness. &lt;br /&gt;27He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; &lt;br /&gt;28He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. &lt;br /&gt;29Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, &lt;br /&gt;30To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, you should think about so many other things written: blind leaders of the blind, the many stumbling references, born again, the second adam. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeremiah 12, Psalms 81&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-8875974458746933691?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/8875974458746933691/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/walk-humbly.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/8875974458746933691'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/8875974458746933691'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/walk-humbly.html' title='Walk Humbly'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-4198716899455174221</id><published>2011-11-25T10:18:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-25T10:33:51.360-05:00</updated><title type='text'>life on both sides of the River</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;25 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to start this with a word translated as “heady” in 2 Timothy 3:4 and as “rashly” in Acts 19:36.  It is the Greek word propetes and literally translates as, fore fall, and it is in the sense of tripping over a rock and stumbling forward.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What it is indicative of is the original fall and the falling away (the apostasy) of 2 Thessalonians 2.  There is a vision of God seen in Ezekiel and it is written that it is at the river “Chebar.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ezekiel 1&lt;br /&gt;1Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chebar is said to mean, extent of time, and literally to plait or to accumulate.&lt;br /&gt;Understanding the meaning we see Ezekiel 1:1 saying that the captivity is at this river.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can also look at Ezekiel 21 and the two ways at the head of the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I make these points to bring you to the understanding of some things I have told you in the past.&lt;br /&gt;One is about the prow of the ship and the other is about washing your feet being symbolic of washing away all the dirt (the weakness and brokenness brought on by the confused creations of men) you have accumulated along the way. &lt;br /&gt;(Prow: Acts 27 and my letter of 10 December 2010)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I want you to think of these in the context of these other scriptures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel 2&lt;br /&gt;42And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. &lt;br /&gt;43And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. &lt;br /&gt;44And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. &lt;br /&gt;45Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Samuel 15&lt;br /&gt;28And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou. &lt;br /&gt;29And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Revelation 22&lt;br /&gt;1And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. &lt;br /&gt;2In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. &lt;br /&gt;3And 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: &lt;br /&gt;4And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. &lt;br /&gt;5And 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. &lt;br /&gt;6And 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. &lt;br /&gt;7Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. &lt;br /&gt;8And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. &lt;br /&gt;9Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. &lt;br /&gt;10And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. &lt;br /&gt;11He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ezekiel 9, Psalms 39&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-4198716899455174221?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/4198716899455174221/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/life-on-both-sides-of-river.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/4198716899455174221'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/4198716899455174221'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/life-on-both-sides-of-river.html' title='life on both sides of the River'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-2858310202656993641</id><published>2011-11-23T10:26:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-23T10:26:05.359-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The story of the king of the grave</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;23 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you know the story of Saul and lessons it teaches?  God’s people didn’t have a king, you know kind of like we haven’t had.  God had a plan and a process that He was putting into action that would bring a just king to benevolently rule but the people lusted for the king now.  Because they did and circumvented God’s way He gave them Saul. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saul of course later refused to follow the instructions from the LORD and thought he knew better how things should be done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am warning you this could happen with this crop.  This isn’t something we can do part way. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Proverbs 20&lt;br /&gt; 21An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed. &lt;br /&gt; 22Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee. &lt;br /&gt; 23Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good. &lt;br /&gt; 24Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way? &lt;br /&gt; 25It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry. &lt;br /&gt; 26A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them. &lt;br /&gt; 27The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly. &lt;br /&gt; 28Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy. &lt;br /&gt; 29The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head. &lt;br /&gt; 30The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should read 1 Samuel 10, 11, 12 and then 15.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 16Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes. &lt;br /&gt; 17Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king. &lt;br /&gt; 18So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel. &lt;br /&gt; 19And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king. &lt;br /&gt; 20And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart; &lt;br /&gt; 21And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain. &lt;br /&gt; 22For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people. &lt;br /&gt; 23Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way: &lt;br /&gt; 24Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you. &lt;br /&gt; 25But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;22And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. &lt;br /&gt; 23For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. &lt;br /&gt; 24And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. &lt;br /&gt; 25Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD. &lt;br /&gt; 26And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel. &lt;br /&gt; 27And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent. &lt;br /&gt; 28And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou. &lt;br /&gt; 29And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The name Saul means asked or more accurately demanded.  It is very close in origin to sheol translated as: grave, hell and pit.  Think about it.

In that argument each is blaming the other but the end result is they are both irrationally arguing against raining in ever expanding government. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If conservatives can’t truthfully argue their positions in this case they lose all credibility when the time comes for necessary and more substantial actual cuts.  This is an example of politics at its worst and governance at its most perverted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A true conservative argument would be against the process that brought this about and the resulting demagoguery that has become the modern political norm.  Truth would tell that actual cuts are minimal or nonexistent; and that the danger lies in doing nothing.  We can do this and everything will be fine as long as we become more efficient as we go and DON’T PANIC or induce panic. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The reality is that those fighting against what absolutely has to happen are ignoring the inevitable consequences of the continuation of spending and growing; and when we reap what they have sown these same will absolve themselves of all responsibility.  Of course they will also present themselves as the same old “new saviors” with their same old failed ideas as the solution. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;As I said, this is just the start. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the truth about the cuts as has been widely reported. From an AP Story:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Freshman Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a tea party favorite, even questioned the legitimacy of the outcry over the military reductions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I think we need to be honest about it," Paul said in an interview on CNN Sunday. "The interesting thing is there will be no cuts in military spending. This may surprise some people, but there will be no cuts in military spending because we're only cutting proposed increases. If we do nothing, military spending goes up 23 percent over 10 years. If we sequester the money, it will still go up 16 percent. So spending is still rising under any of these plans."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the planned Pentagon budget for 2021 would be some $700 billion, an increase over the current level of about $520 billion. The cuts already in the works plus the automatic reductions would trim the projected budget by about $110 billion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the automatic cuts go through, the Pentagon would face a 10 percent cut in its $550 billion budget in 2013. On the domestic side, education, agriculture and environmental programs would face cuts of around 8 percent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Social Security, Medicaid and many veterans' benefits and low-income programs are exempt from automatic cuts. Medicare is limited to a 2 percent reduction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-2935770949515702173?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/2935770949515702173/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/still-thinking-and-you.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/2935770949515702173'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/2935770949515702173'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/still-thinking-and-you.html' title='Still thinking, and you?'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-504185951984776838</id><published>2011-11-22T09:34:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-22T09:34:57.984-05:00</updated><title type='text'>What do I think</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;22 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Proverbs 12&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do I think about the Automatic cuts and the failure of the ploy?  I think these types of reductions in growth are a good start.  It was a coward’s political way out, doomed from the beginning and they knew it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do I think about the candidates and their current standing? I think Newt is great as long as he doesn’t lose his foundation, again.  He and Romney don’t just have their distant past to self-contradict. They need to and do contradict themselves from the very near past.  In a debate with yourself there is always a loser, no matter how good a debater you are.  I still think Bachmann is the only one with the consistent conservative record.  I sure hope the news media makes up its mind and picks us a good one. They did so well picking Obama, and winners in the Arab Spring they should do just as well this time.  Drive by journalism.  Rush was so right with that definition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 12&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James 3 &amp; 4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-504185951984776838?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/504185951984776838/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/what-do-i-think.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/504185951984776838'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/504185951984776838'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/what-do-i-think.html' title='What do I think'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-8685910503632324629</id><published>2011-11-21T08:52:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-21T08:52:15.269-05:00</updated><title type='text'>A willing fool for Christ's Sake</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;21 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have spent many hours since the last letter studying the scriptures relating to the end as reported in Numbers 24.  The conclusion is that it is telling of a pattern that follows that of Hezekiah and Sennacherib.  It is what is written of in Daniel 11.   It is the destruction of Asshur as seen in Nahum.  It is the restoration of Eber as seen in Micah and told the whole world, Sheth all humanity, who will be subdued by it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This understanding is seen in many other places and if you want you can do the reading and see it yourself.  At the end of it I decided that it would most likely just stir up the confusion of the already confused who can’t see it even when shown.  The LORD sends their delusions because of their pride and their lust.  They lack the one thing they need, childlike humility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is all a consistent persistent message told as written by all the Prophets and Apostles.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, that takes us to 1 Corinthians 1 and thereby to Isaiah 29. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel 12, Revelations 22, Psalms 104&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 88&lt;br /&gt; 1O lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: &lt;br /&gt; 2Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; &lt;br /&gt; 3For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. &lt;br /&gt; 4I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength: &lt;br /&gt; 5Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. &lt;br /&gt; 6Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. &lt;br /&gt; 7Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. &lt;br /&gt; 8Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. &lt;br /&gt; 9Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee. &lt;br /&gt; 10Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah. &lt;br /&gt; 11Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? &lt;br /&gt; 12Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? &lt;br /&gt; 13But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee. &lt;br /&gt; 14LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me? &lt;br /&gt; 15I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. &lt;br /&gt; 16Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. &lt;br /&gt; 17They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together. &lt;br /&gt; 18Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-8685910503632324629?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/8685910503632324629/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/willing-fool-for-christs-sake.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/8685910503632324629'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/8685910503632324629'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/willing-fool-for-christs-sake.html' title='A willing fool for Christ&apos;s Sake'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-736493274368326590</id><published>2011-11-19T12:23:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-19T12:23:39.283-05:00</updated><title type='text'>then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;19 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am continually amazed at the volume of information that is contained in just a seemingly minor inference.   I am referring to John 7 again and how when you look at the origins of some of the recorded comments you see they lead to other scriptures that add context and meaning to everything else written there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The “rivers of living water” go to several places and among them Isaiah 12 and 55.  &lt;br /&gt;In these you will see the common themes from both John 7 and also Micah.  &lt;br /&gt;They all speak of the thoughts and ways of the LORD being those that aren’t the thoughts or ways of man.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 55&lt;br /&gt; 6Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: &lt;br /&gt; 7Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. &lt;br /&gt; 8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. &lt;br /&gt; 9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Micah 4&lt;br /&gt; 12But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 7&lt;br /&gt; 33Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me. &lt;br /&gt; 34Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the passage from John the LORD is telling them the reason they can’t come is that if they don’t know Him they won’t know the Father and He tells them that is where He is going and they don’t even hear it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then to some other seemingly minor phrases which occur in both Micah 6 and Isaiah 55.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Micah 6&lt;br /&gt; 8He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? &lt;br /&gt; 9The LORD's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(This would be a good time to read John 7 again, or at least the beginning, to see that these verses from Micah are what is being pointed to as lacking and therefore leading to their unbelief.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 55&lt;br /&gt; 13Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In these are connections to what is written in Numbers 24.&lt;br /&gt;You will recognize the thorns and briers as part of the curse from the original fall recorded in Genesis 3. Numbers 24 is about the blessing that can’t be overcome by any attempt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The everlasting sign mentioned in Isaiah 55 is also related to the use or the term “name” there and in Micah.  The everlasting sign that shall not be cut (Think Daniel 9:26) is reference to the “bow in the cloud” that was given after the flood to signify that God would never again destroy all flesh (Seth = tumult).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next the blessing is seen in or to Noah’s son Shem.  Shem is the same word that is translated “name.” Shem is also in the line of Jesus and is the father (in the line) of all Eber.  Eber is mentioned in Numbers 24 along with Asshur as being afflicted by the ships that come from the coast of Chittim.  Chittim is a descendant of Japheth.  Japheth is also one of Noah’s sons who is said shall dwell in the great tabernacle of Shem.  Genesis 9 &lt;br /&gt;(The Greek Sem is the Hebrew Shem and sem is the root to the word that is translates as – sign, miracle, token, and wonders.)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Numbers 24 talks of the saving water.  This being the key, that the flood of the blessing is the living water poured out as a flood but not to destroy but to save.  This is seen in Christ coming in the cloud as the bow in the cloud that is the everlasting sign that is seen.  And it will be to us for a name and those of wisdom will see it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 24&lt;br /&gt; 29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: &lt;br /&gt; 30And 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. &lt;br /&gt; 31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. &lt;br /&gt; 32Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: &lt;br /&gt; 33So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. &lt;br /&gt; 34Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;I am going to stop here for now but you should read these chapters and the also Isaiah 54 thru 56.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-736493274368326590?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/736493274368326590/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/then-shall-appear-sign-of-son-of-man-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/736493274368326590'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/736493274368326590'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/then-shall-appear-sign-of-son-of-man-in.html' title='then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-575179078978513577</id><published>2011-11-18T09:58:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-18T09:58:13.196-05:00</updated><title type='text'>You will see the relevance</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;18 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In John 7 there is much evidence of the confusion and denial due to what men were teaching and what was taking place right in front of their face.  The reality was what was plainly occurring before their eyes.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The writings in John 7 are pointing to Micah 4 &amp; 5.  The LORD was doing just what he told them he would and they didn’t even know it because they were a stiff necked people.  It is the pattern and the paradox that He understood.  Those who control the religions and the governments would keep firm control over what was taught and believed and the paradox being that these would be the same that the people would look to before they could accept the reality of what was happening.  The deceivers would never admit the reality because it was them that were being indicted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few notable points here are in Micah 6 we are told to remember Numbers 24.&lt;br /&gt;You will see the relevance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice. &lt;br /&gt; 2Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD's controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel. &lt;br /&gt; 3O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me. &lt;br /&gt; 4For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. &lt;br /&gt; 5O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD. &lt;br /&gt; 6Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? &lt;br /&gt; 7Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? &lt;br /&gt; 8He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? &lt;br /&gt; 9The LORD's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it. &lt;br /&gt; 10Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying, &lt;br /&gt; 13If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak? &lt;br /&gt; 14And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days. &lt;br /&gt; 15And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said: &lt;br /&gt; 16He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open: &lt;br /&gt; 17I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth. &lt;br /&gt; 18And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly. &lt;br /&gt; 19Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city. &lt;br /&gt; 20And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever. &lt;br /&gt; 21And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock. &lt;br /&gt; 22Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive. &lt;br /&gt; 23And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this! &lt;br /&gt; 24And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Micah 4 &amp; 5&lt;br /&gt;6In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; &lt;br /&gt; 7And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever. &lt;br /&gt; 8And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. &lt;br /&gt; 9Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail. &lt;br /&gt; 10Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. &lt;br /&gt; 11Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion. &lt;br /&gt; 12But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor. &lt;br /&gt; 13Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek. &lt;br /&gt; 2But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. &lt;br /&gt; 3Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. &lt;br /&gt; 4And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth. &lt;br /&gt; 5And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men. &lt;br /&gt; 6And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders. &lt;br /&gt; 7And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men. &lt;br /&gt; 8And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver. &lt;br /&gt; 9Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off. &lt;br /&gt; 10And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots: &lt;br /&gt; 11And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds: &lt;br /&gt; 12And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers: &lt;br /&gt; 13Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands. &lt;br /&gt; 14And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities. &lt;br /&gt; 15And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 97&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-575179078978513577?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/575179078978513577/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/you-will-see-relevance.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/575179078978513577'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/575179078978513577'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/you-will-see-relevance.html' title='You will see the relevance'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-8945389690592254379</id><published>2011-11-17T08:01:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-17T08:01:00.535-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Awake Sleeper</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;17 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s continue on from yesterday and more the hidden things and those plainly written.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything is and has been plainly written and can be easily understood if and when you just read it.  God hasn’t spoken in secret.  The reason that these things aren’t understood is that people without pure motives have crept in and confused it by putting their lust above truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking at yesterday’s and the letter of 1 November 2011 and you will see that the LORD is telling us these same things and leading us back to His truth.  This is life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deuteronomy 30&lt;br /&gt; 10If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. &lt;br /&gt; 11For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. &lt;br /&gt; 12It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? &lt;br /&gt; 13Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? &lt;br /&gt; 14But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. &lt;br /&gt; 15See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The confusion I speak of, it is what leads to the hidden people, those not knowing who they are.&lt;br /&gt;This is the death; the sleep that must be awakened from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Romans 10 &amp; 11, Ephesians 5&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 25&lt;br /&gt; 7And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations. &lt;br /&gt; 8He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. &lt;br /&gt; 9And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deuteronomy 30&lt;br /&gt; 6And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. &lt;br /&gt; 7And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. &lt;br /&gt; 8And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. &lt;br /&gt; 9And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: &lt;br /&gt; 10If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. &lt;br /&gt; 11For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 49&lt;br /&gt; 7Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee. &lt;br /&gt; 8Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; &lt;br /&gt; 9That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places. &lt;br /&gt; 10They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them. &lt;br /&gt; 11And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted. &lt;br /&gt; 12Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim. &lt;br /&gt; 13Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Revelation 21, Daniel 12, Psalms 27&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-8945389690592254379?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/8945389690592254379/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/awake-sleeper.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/8945389690592254379'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/8945389690592254379'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/awake-sleeper.html' title='Awake Sleeper'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-5603324318563553501</id><published>2011-11-16T09:44:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-16T09:44:17.425-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Circumcise yourselves to the LORD</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;16 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obadiah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many things hidden in plain sight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeremiah 49&lt;br /&gt; 35Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might. &lt;br /&gt; 36And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come. &lt;br /&gt; 37For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them: &lt;br /&gt; 38And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD. &lt;br /&gt; 39But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The name “Elam” literally means hidden or veiled.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you read the above passage and then look again at the Revelation 7 and then also take into account what is written in 2 Corinthians 3 about the removing of the vail, do you see anything?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Revelation 7&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 17For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Corinthians 3&lt;br /&gt; 11For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. &lt;br /&gt; 12Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: &lt;br /&gt; 13And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: &lt;br /&gt; 14But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;b&gt;15But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. &lt;br /&gt; 16Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt; 17Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. &lt;br /&gt; 18But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, when you read this do see anything more in Hebrews 12?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeremiah 4&lt;br /&gt; 1If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove. &lt;br /&gt; 2And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory. &lt;br /&gt; 3For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, &lt;b&gt;Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns. &lt;br /&gt; 4Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt; 5Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities. &lt;br /&gt; 6Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction. &lt;br /&gt; 7The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant. &lt;br /&gt; 8For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us. &lt;br /&gt; 9And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder. &lt;br /&gt; 10Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul. &lt;br /&gt; 11At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse, &lt;br /&gt; 12Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them. &lt;br /&gt; 13Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled. &lt;br /&gt; 14O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-5603324318563553501?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/5603324318563553501/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/circumcise-yourselves-to-lord.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/5603324318563553501'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/5603324318563553501'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/circumcise-yourselves-to-lord.html' title='Circumcise yourselves to the LORD'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-7164354196450149934</id><published>2011-11-15T09:37:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-15T09:49:42.311-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Who are you?</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;15 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you looked any deeper into what I said yesterday?  The two I mentioned, did you see the pattern?  Should these be under God control, or actually self-controlled but in knowing God be led by His Spirit of truth and justice?  Is this what is intended for our Nation?  Is it what is intended for the world? Is this all part of God’s Plan for humanity?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course I am going to answer all these questions and in doing show you the pattern and the intention.   The answer to the last four questions is, yes.  Your response to the first two is your part and then I will ask you a question that I have often asked.  Again, your proper and only rational response is the object.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s look at the first verse of Amos 9:&lt;br /&gt;1I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, the word “standing” is the same word that is used for “standing” in Exodus 17:9.  This is where Moses holds up the Rod and as long as he does it Israel prevails against Amalek (The Toiler).  When Moses’ arms got tired Aaron and Hur held his up with theirs.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have to see the picture and the pattern that they are told to memorialize and is later further show in the pattern of the candlestick.    Moses on a rock and his and Aaron’s and Hur’s arms all held high as Moses holds the rod.   Moses built an altar there and called it Jehovah-nissi.  (You really need to read it and see the patterns of many things we have talked about in past days.)  Jehovah-nissi means Jehovah is my Banner, the banner meaning Jehovah being what was symbolized in the Rod that Moses held up.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pattern of the candlestick is later Exodus 25:31 and it is the same picture as was seen with Moses on the Rock.  The word translated in Amos 9:1 as “lintel” is only done so here (plural “lintels” in Zephaniah 2:14) and is elsewhere translated as “knop” as in Exodus 25.  The word literally means capital.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When this context is applied to this verse in Amos 9 we see the full meaning.  Smite the foundation of the doorkeepers and break off the head.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To further this we see that it is what the Lord is saying in Revelation 1 – 3 and more specifically when He says in 2:  5Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is also a picture of Zachariah 3 &amp; 4.&lt;br /&gt;You really need to read it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These all point to the branches that are holding up the same.  What does man do?  He either turns it into a picture of denial and therefore three crosses or the picture of the candlestick, either way the same Banner is above the Head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luke 23&lt;br /&gt;31For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? &lt;br /&gt;32And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death. &lt;br /&gt;33And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. &lt;br /&gt;34Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. &lt;br /&gt;35And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. &lt;br /&gt;36And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, &lt;br /&gt;37And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. &lt;br /&gt;38And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. &lt;br /&gt;39And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. &lt;br /&gt;40But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? &lt;br /&gt;41And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. &lt;br /&gt;42And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. &lt;br /&gt;43And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise. &lt;br /&gt;44And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. &lt;br /&gt;45And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. &lt;br /&gt;46And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last question is; who are you in this picture?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of  &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-7164354196450149934?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/7164354196450149934/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/who-are-you.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/7164354196450149934'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/7164354196450149934'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/who-are-you.html' title='Who are you?'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-6178979905352507070</id><published>2011-11-14T09:06:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-14T09:06:38.269-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Amos, the light burden - Matthew 11</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;14 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who don’t know, I send a copy of this letter each day to the National Cathedral and to the Senate Chaplin.  That is just the way it came to be.  These are the symbolic seats of national religion and of civil political power.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the book of Amos he is sent to very similar seats of power.  He is sent to Amaziah the priest in Beth-el and to Jeroboam the king of Israel. Amaziah literally translates strength of Yah.  He is named what the priest in Beth-el (House of God) is intended to project.  Instead he actually presides over the house that has become idolatrous.  Jeroboam literally translates as the people will contend.  The king is meant to lead the people united in the ways or justice and rightness, but again ironically the opposite is true with this king and he leads the people to injustice and their own destruction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it is this day, and the LORD took me from following the flock and said to me, “Go prophesy unto My People.”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hear these words O Israel because the time is ripe and the day has come that the LORD will Judge His people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There has been a great famine in the land and your leaders have led you to destruction.&lt;br /&gt;Amos 7, 8 &amp; 9&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered. &lt;br /&gt; 2Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down: &lt;br /&gt; 3And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them: &lt;br /&gt; 4And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good. &lt;br /&gt; 5And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ezekiel 38, Psalms 101&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of   &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-6178979905352507070?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/6178979905352507070/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/amos-light-burden-matthew-11.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/6178979905352507070'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/6178979905352507070'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/amos-light-burden-matthew-11.html' title='Amos, the light burden - Matthew 11'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-7610447836059292717</id><published>2011-11-13T10:48:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-13T10:48:19.653-05:00</updated><title type='text'>O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;13 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The quote in my last letter from 1 Corinthians 15 contained quoted from Isaiah 25 and Hosea 13.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the specific verses:&lt;br /&gt;  54So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. &lt;br /&gt; 55O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to focus on Hosea but I recommend you read Isaiah 25 also.&lt;br /&gt;Hosea as most other books shows the patterns of the fall, the continued decline and the eventual redemption of those who rise from this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s start with a few verses from Chapter 10:&lt;br /&gt;8The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us. &lt;br /&gt; 9O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them. &lt;br /&gt; 10It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows. &lt;br /&gt; 11And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods. &lt;br /&gt; 12Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In verse 8 there are unique words used which are only used here and in Genesis 3:18.  They refer to the sentence of Adam resulting from his departing from God.  Last part of this verse is used in Revelation 6 and said by the kings of the earth just before the elect are sealed in the next chapter.  The same is quoted by the Lord in Luke 23:30 just before he is cut off.  (“Cut off” is a key term here.  Daniel 9:26 and Isaiah 53:8)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then on to the recovery as told in verse 12 that is the same as I just mention from Revelation 7.&lt;br /&gt;Coming out of the tribulation is in seeking the LORD and Him being the One who delivers.  Verse 12 is a reference to Deuteronomy 4:29 and there is also common language used only here and in Jeremiah 4:3.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deuteronomy 4&lt;br /&gt; 26I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed. &lt;br /&gt; 27And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you. &lt;br /&gt; 28And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. &lt;br /&gt; 29But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. &lt;br /&gt; 30When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; &lt;br /&gt; 31(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. &lt;br /&gt; 32For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it? &lt;br /&gt; 33Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live? &lt;br /&gt; 34Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? &lt;br /&gt; 35Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeremiah 4&lt;br /&gt;1If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove. &lt;br /&gt; 2And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory. &lt;br /&gt; 3For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns. &lt;br /&gt; 4Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hosea 13&lt;br /&gt; 9O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help. &lt;br /&gt; 10I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? &lt;br /&gt; 11I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath. &lt;br /&gt; 12The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid. &lt;br /&gt; 13The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children. &lt;br /&gt; 14I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. &lt;br /&gt; 15Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels. &lt;br /&gt; 16Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hosea 14&lt;br /&gt; 1O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. &lt;br /&gt; 2Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips. &lt;br /&gt; 3Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy. &lt;br /&gt; 4I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him. &lt;br /&gt; 5I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. &lt;br /&gt; 6His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon. &lt;br /&gt; 7They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. &lt;br /&gt; 8Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found. &lt;br /&gt; 9Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now is a good time to read Isaiah 25 and Think!  It is all so plainly written. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of   &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-7610447836059292717?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/7610447836059292717/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/o-death-where-is-thy-sting-o-grave.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/7610447836059292717'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/7610447836059292717'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/o-death-where-is-thy-sting-o-grave.html' title='O death, where is thy sting?

Today’s response of 1 John 2 shows understanding of the two worlds. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the pattern of 2 Chronicles 32.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From 26 February 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Ai (Aiath) uncovering of the hidden on to&lt;br /&gt;Migron – the precipice  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Samuel 14, 15 &amp; 16  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two precipice: &lt;br /&gt;1. Bozez – transliterated from Bowtsets and said to mean shinning. From two words – bow meaning to go or to come and translated many ways.  Here it would mean bring forth.  The other tsuwt meaning twinkle.  Translated bloom, blossom, flourish and show self. &lt;br /&gt;2. Seneh – meaning thorn and is the word translated bush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hebrews 12 &amp; 13, Acts 7, 1 Corinthians 15 &amp; 16, Psalms 18  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, &lt;br /&gt; 52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. &lt;br /&gt; 53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. &lt;br /&gt; 54So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. &lt;br /&gt; 55O death, where is thy sting?

When reading of them we see the corruption and the change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 4, Jeremiah 23 &amp; 33, Zechariah 3 &amp; 6&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 66&lt;br /&gt;5Hear 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. &lt;br /&gt;6A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies. &lt;br /&gt;7Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. &lt;br /&gt;8Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. &lt;br /&gt;9Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God. &lt;br /&gt;10Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: &lt;br /&gt;11That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. &lt;br /&gt;12For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. &lt;br /&gt;13As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. &lt;br /&gt;14And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies. &lt;br /&gt;15For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. &lt;br /&gt;16For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many. &lt;br /&gt;17They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD. &lt;br /&gt;18For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory. &lt;br /&gt;19And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles. &lt;br /&gt;20And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD. &lt;br /&gt;21And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD. &lt;br /&gt;22For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. &lt;br /&gt;23And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. &lt;br /&gt;24And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of   &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-3010405191697347497?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/3010405191697347497/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/dead-dont-know.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/3010405191697347497'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/3010405191697347497'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/dead-dont-know.html' title='The Dead don&apos;t know.'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-7459261822997984261</id><published>2011-11-09T09:20:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-09T09:20:50.975-05:00</updated><title type='text'>my words shall not pass away</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;9 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did the mention yesterday of the shaking added to the context of the redemption, the soon coming kingdom and the pattern of coming out of Egypt lead you anywhere in furthering your understanding?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s start with a few points to be made about Psalms 114.   The word translated “tremble” in Psalms 114 is translated as “shake” in Psalms 29.  The Trembling is the earth trembling at the presence of the LORD and the shaking is the wilderness shaking at the Voice of the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The shaking quote should have gotten you to Hebrews 12 and then to Haggai 2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you read these you should see some of the similarities with Luke 21:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;26Men'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. &lt;br /&gt; 27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. &lt;br /&gt; 28And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. &lt;br /&gt; 29And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; &lt;br /&gt; 30When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. &lt;br /&gt; 31So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. &lt;br /&gt; 32Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. &lt;br /&gt; 33Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. &lt;br /&gt; 34And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. &lt;br /&gt; 35For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are all referring to the LORD showing Himself in the same way as is documented in Numbers 16 &amp; 17.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Luke 21 the coming of the Son of man is seen in the cloud with power and great glory.&lt;br /&gt;In Number 16 when the people came against God’s chosen deliverer and spokesman the Cloud covers the tabernacle and the Glory of the LORD appears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The heavens being shaken in the previous verse of Luke is also a reference to Haggai 2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The end of Haggai 2 also talks of the LORD choosing His leader.  This takes us back to the Lord’s words in Luke and the parable of the budding trees.  This say that the LORD will choose His leader and put down the rebellion in the same way as he did in in Numbers 17.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod. &lt;br /&gt; 3And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers. &lt;br /&gt; 4And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you. &lt;br /&gt; 5And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you. &lt;br /&gt; 6And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. &lt;br /&gt; 7And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness. &lt;br /&gt; 8And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds. &lt;br /&gt; 9And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod. &lt;br /&gt; 10And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the conclusion and the name on the branch that buds:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Timothy 2&lt;br /&gt; 1Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. &lt;br /&gt; 2And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. &lt;br /&gt; 3Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. &lt;br /&gt; 4No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. &lt;br /&gt; 5And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. &lt;br /&gt; 6The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. &lt;br /&gt; 7Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. &lt;br /&gt; 8Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: &lt;br /&gt; 9Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. &lt;br /&gt; 10Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. &lt;br /&gt; 11It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: &lt;br /&gt; 12If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: &lt;br /&gt; 13If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. &lt;br /&gt; 14Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. &lt;br /&gt; 15Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. &lt;br /&gt; 16But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. &lt;br /&gt; 17And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; &lt;br /&gt; 18Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. &lt;br /&gt; 19Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. &lt;br /&gt; 20But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. &lt;br /&gt; 21If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. &lt;br /&gt; 22Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. &lt;br /&gt; 23But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. &lt;br /&gt; 24And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, &lt;br /&gt; 25In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; &lt;br /&gt; 26And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luke 21&lt;br /&gt;35For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of   &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-7459261822997984261?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/7459261822997984261/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/my-words-shall-not-pass-away.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/7459261822997984261'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/7459261822997984261'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/my-words-shall-not-pass-away.html' title='my words shall not pass away'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-6279531428282609889</id><published>2011-11-08T09:42:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-08T09:42:10.181-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The Shaking</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;8 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just read the story at foxnews.com about the White House announcing there is no evidence of life outside this planet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My first thought is there isn’t much evidence of it here either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kind of proves my point that the dead don’t know they are dead and therefore they sure wouldn’t know what life is.

One is dealing with the civil government and one dealing with the God’s desolate house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The quote in verse 35 is from Psalms 118.  This Psalm has many famously quoted passages but when read in total it the formula for the acknowledgment and acceptance that with YAH is deliverance.   It gives the answer to what should be done to change the desolate house.  What have you got to say to that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just before this quote in Psalm 118 the verses say: &lt;br /&gt;22The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. &lt;br /&gt;23This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. &lt;br /&gt;24This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. &lt;br /&gt;25Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This again shows that is the LORD’s choice of whom and how.  Verse 25 in the Hebrew begins with Hosanna and ends with the word tsaleach.  Tsaleach literally translates, to push forward.&lt;br /&gt;The space between this and the next verse is the two millennia that was/is for the salvation of all humanity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to take a little liberty in what I am about to show you.  For such a time as this all these things were prepared and put in place.  As you may or may not know what I just said is a reference to Esther 4:14.  Ester is a Book that is filled with Acrostics, or hidden messages and it is a pattern of deliverance.&lt;br /&gt;There is a word in verse 14 that is only used once and translated “deliverance.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The verse is translated as: &lt;br /&gt;14For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word translated as “enlargement” is the Hebrew word “revach” literally meaning an interval.&lt;br /&gt;To see this you should know that the word translated as “deliverance” is said to be translated from is “hatstsalah” meaning to rescue and coming from a word that means, snatched away. (Here is where I take some liberty.) The word is 2020 in the Strong’s Hebrew dictionary and is the prefect vision of what happened.  (Liberty only in assigning meaning to the number.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esther is in a position to be able to save here people by speaking up. She does and they are.&lt;br /&gt;This is the pattern of what the Lord was telling of in Luke.  It is the pattern of what is written in Psalms 118 where we are also shown the reason some refuse to speak up when they know what they should say.  The fear of man.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esther tells the full story in one short verse.  Israel thought the saving was for them only and it would have been if they would have said the words, “Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the LORD.”  But the plan was for humanity and so them not saying it was part of the LORD’s plan and he knew they were stiffed necked. Then the next part of the plan as stated in Esther4:14 was implemented.   And here we are at such a time as this and you are faced with the same opportunity to speak up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 48:15 also uses the same word translated “prosperity” in Psalms 118.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness. &lt;br /&gt;2For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name. &lt;br /&gt;3I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass. &lt;br /&gt;4Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; &lt;br /&gt;5I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them. &lt;br /&gt;6Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them. &lt;br /&gt;7They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them. &lt;br /&gt;8Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb. &lt;br /&gt;9For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off. &lt;br /&gt;10Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. &lt;br /&gt;11For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another. &lt;br /&gt;12Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. &lt;br /&gt;13Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together. &lt;br /&gt;14All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans. &lt;br /&gt;15I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous. &lt;br /&gt;16Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me. &lt;br /&gt;17Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. &lt;br /&gt;18O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: &lt;br /&gt;19Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is used in the negative in Daniel 8:12&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 11 &amp; 12, Psalms 45&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of   &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-7246472257618715678?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/7246472257618715678/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/dark-sayings-brought-to-light.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/7246472257618715678'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/7246472257618715678'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/dark-sayings-brought-to-light.html' title='Dark Sayings Brought to Light'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-2481196889286022074</id><published>2011-11-06T08:49:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2011-11-06T09:02:19.727-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The Change</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;6 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More Context?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The parable of the leaven in Matthew 13 and Luke 13 that I mentioned in my last letter and it telling of the corruption that would come to God’s house due to the leaven of the tares; in Matthew it is followed by this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;34All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: &lt;br /&gt;35That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is said that this is a quote from and therefore referencing Psalms 78. It is and Psalms 78 is a Psalm that speaks of God’s choice in the place of the sanctuary and His choice of how and by whom He would redeem the world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The deeper saying was that the Lord was telling of the corruption that would come.  This same quote is also used in Psalms 49 and it’s telling of man’s coming to the understanding that he needs a redeemer to bring him back from the grave.  It tells of the death and the redemption and in context it helps explain many of the other parables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few other points are that the same word translated “corruption” in this Psalm is translated as such only here and in Job 17:14, Psalms 16:10 and Jonah 2:6.  (You really should read these.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These all tell of the hopelessness and death that comes from the corruption away from God’s truth and His guidance.  It also tells of the change back.  Psalms 49 also makes reference to the original fall of man and the promise of redemption that is stated in Genesis 3:15.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: &lt;br /&gt;15And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This day is this fulfilled in your sight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 49&lt;br /&gt;1Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world: &lt;br /&gt;2Both low and high, rich and poor, together. &lt;br /&gt;3My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding. &lt;br /&gt;4I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp. &lt;br /&gt;5Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about? &lt;br /&gt;6They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; &lt;br /&gt;7None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: &lt;br /&gt;8(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) &lt;br /&gt;9That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. &lt;br /&gt;10For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others. &lt;br /&gt;11Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names. &lt;br /&gt;12Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish. &lt;br /&gt;13This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah. &lt;br /&gt;14Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. &lt;br /&gt;15But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. &lt;br /&gt;16Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; &lt;br /&gt;17For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him. &lt;br /&gt;18Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. &lt;br /&gt;19He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. &lt;br /&gt;20Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank You Father!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of   &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-2481196889286022074?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/2481196889286022074/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/change.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/2481196889286022074'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/2481196889286022074'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/change.html' title='The Change'/><author><name>paraclete</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12739500734999940098</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7885041569134082444.post-1181936789081300406</id><published>2011-11-04T09:12:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2011-11-04T09:12:55.666-04:00</updated><title type='text'>I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed</title><content type='html'>Jesus Christ Is Lord!&lt;br /&gt;4 November 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still moving forward in pointing out what is obviously written, today more on entropy and the measure. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First the measure that the Lord spoke of in Luke13:21 and Matthew 13:33.  The word translated “measure” in these is the Greek word “saton” and mean the measure of things dry.  It has origin in the Hebrew word ce’ah meaning to define as in a certain determinative for grain. (Think 1 Corinthians 15:37)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the verses from Luke and Matthew the Lord tells us that kingdom is like a women who hid leaven in three measures of meal until the whole was leavened.  (You should do your own research here to verify what I am explaining.)  This isn’t a good thing.  It is saying that the kingdom has something worked into the grain until the whole is corrupted.  (Again, think 1 Corinthians 15) It is describing entropy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The word entropy comes from the Greek word “entrope” literally meaning, in change.  It has the meanings of: to invert, as in a good sense, to respect, or in a bad sense, to confound. It also means confusion and is translated “shame” and is only used as in this form twice, 1 Corinthians 15:34 and 6:5.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What this is saying is that this loss of energy (the falling away of 2 Thessalonians 2:3) is what leads to the death.  BUT, the change at that point is to add energy and revive to life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is all so plainly written.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Greek word “trope” is translated turning and only used once in describing God as there being no turning, or changing, or variableness in Him.  James 1:17 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 16Do not err, my beloved brethren. &lt;br /&gt; 17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. &lt;br /&gt; 18Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Malachi 3 &amp; 4, Psalms 125 &amp; 126&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Name of   &lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ My Lord&lt;br /&gt;Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7885041569134082444-1181936789081300406?l=christswar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/feeds/1181936789081300406/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://christswar.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-change-not-therefore-ye-sons-of-jacob.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7885041569134082444/posts/default/1181936789081300406'/><li
