KNOWING THE END

   What the world needs more than anything else is the love of God through Christ our Lord.
    Parents and children all over the world need Christ, and they also need the Bible, which is the Word of the Lord, to help us to endure the days ahead.
    The days ahead will be constant trouble, in every nation all over the earth, for we are living among corrupted men in politics and corrupted men in religion. 
    Throughout human history, the story of politics and religion is the same story:  corruption.  This story has never changed, for it is a world of deceivers, liars, and thieves.  Such men will murder innocent people to achieve their quest of power over people, and they will do it in the name of themselves, or in the name of a god.
   When people trust in God through Christ our Lord, they will never be disappointed.  But when people trust in men of politics and men of religion, trouble is at their feet from this day forward.
   Even now, nations all over the world are sinking because of the evil of corrupted minds, and this sinking of nations will continue. 
   Knowing the end will help us to understand that the end of days is coming upon the earth, which will be the end of human history. 
   As evil men gain power over nations, we will see the flow of innocent blood all over the earth.  We will also see the greatest massacre of Christians that the world has known since the time Christ dwelt on earth.
   Such men are talking peace even now.  Peace in the Middle East.  Peace in Africa and Asia.  Yet there is no peace among nations and continents, and there will be no peace.  What they are talking about is how to dominate and control people, in nations all over the world, with peace treaties---treaties that they have no intention of keeping, for this is a false peace process through deception. 
  Such peace is a collusion with men in politics and men in religion, for these men do not know God, nor the love of God.  For if they knew God in their hearts, they would be talking about Christ the Lord!  Thus they talk peace to lure people to sleep.  To lure people to believe that these men know best what is best for people.  This talk of peace is a snare and a trap.  And if they do not get the peace that they desire through treaties, they will use war to bring nations and people to their knees.
   Such men as these, in governments and in religion, have the mind of Karl Marx and Adolph Hitler, for their desire is to rule the world with an iron fist. 
   Jesus warned us that there would be days like this when He said: 
      Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  (Matthew 7: 15)
   Our only hope, therefore, is in knowing God through Christ our Lord, and, without Him, there will be no hope.
      Let not your heart be troubled:  ye believe in God, believe also in me. 
      In my Father's house are many mansions:  if it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you.
      And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also.  (John 14: 1-3)

NIGHTMARES ON MAIN STREETS

   Pedophilia is a worldwide war against children.
   Turning the page or changing the subject will not cause this war to cease to exist, for this war will never go away in our lifetimes.
   Pedophilia is in all nations upon the earth, and it is also in all fifty states of the United States.
   Pedophilia is now on the streets where we live:  in our cities, communities, and neighborhoods.  It is with us where we live, where we work, where we play, where we go to churches and religious institutions, as it is also in governments worldwide.
   Pedophilia is a disease of the human mind that is now a plague, it is contagious, and people all over the world are being inflicted with this evil of darkness.
   Jesus told us there would be days like this:  He warned us that this time would come.  The Lord reminded us of the days of Noah and the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.  But did we ever think that the days like this would be a worldwide war against children? 
   When people of nations turn their wrath against children, what does this say about civilization?
   Did you ever think you would see the time when men would take girls as wives as young as eight years old?  And then watch as such men are proud of it?  How they brag and boast about raping a young girl on her wedding night? 
   Did you ever think you would see the day when child molesters would take their victims to church with them to make it appear that they are helping troubled kids by pretending to be a proper role model?
  Now that nations are legalizing same-sex unions and same-sex marriages as normal behavior, will we also see the day when pedophilia will be legalized as normal behavior by governments and by religions?
   If so, then human trafficking will no longer need shackles and chains, and we will become witnesses to children's nightmares on main streets. 
   Such people should be ashamed for being human, but they are not.  Neither do they blush. 

BEYOND PICKET FENCES

   Trafficking of young women, girls, and boys for prostitution, pornography, pedophilia, and harvesting vital organs is now in all fifty states of the United States.  In every city and community across America, young women, girls, and boys are vulnerable to abduction by bounty hunters.
   Worldwide, human trafficking has more than twenty million victims for slave labor and sex slaves.
   As an industry, human trafficking is estimated to be more than $30 billion, surpassing the illegal sale of guns.
   In the United States, 300,000 Americans, under the age of 18, are lured into this commercial sex trade each year.
   Life expectancy for victims of human trafficking is from 3 to 7 years.  They die from drug overdoses, starvation, fatal diseases, infections, and murder.  They live their lives in shackles and chains. 
   Beyond picket fences, young women and children are prey to abduction by bounty hunters, gangs, and crime families.  They troll fast-food restaurants, convenience stores, movie theaters, shopping malls, churches, religious institutions, and sports arenas.
   Therefore, all of us should be alert.  If you see young women and children with fear on their faces, under-nourished and under-clothed, call the police.  They could be victims of human trafficking and they are running for their lives.  They will be scared. 
  Also, be watchful for cars, vans, and trucks overloaded with people at fast-food restaurants, convenience stores, or at Welcome Centers along interstate highways.  Be able to identify the vehicle and especially a license plate number.
   Human trafficking is a war against women and children, and this war is enlarging itself and consuming nations, a direct attack against freedom.

MIRROR, MIRROR

   Imagination is one of the greatest gifts that God created in people.  But imagination can also be:  our greatest enemy.
   If I only see my own image in my imagination, I will never see myself as God sees me.  And as long as I see my own image in my imagination, I will naturally like what I see, for there will be nothing about me that I will not like.  I like the way I dress, the way I walk, the way I talk, and, I will find no fault with me.  So how could God possibly see anything wrong in me?  For I am perfect in all of my ways, for my image is always cleaned and polished. 
  But if I do not like the image I see of myself in my imagination, I have the power within me to change, so that the image that I project will always be a mirror reflection of my inner self, which is the me that I want others to see:  perfect in all of my ways, always cleaned and polished. 
  In so doing, I will believe that others will see me as I see myself.  And I will like that!  I will enjoy the time that others look at me!  For there is none other for others to see when they see me. 
   If I play golf, oh, my!  I do not need instructions or lessons from a golf pro, for I know it all.  There is nothing they can teach me, for I am the one that others come out to see. 
   But this self-image I have of me can also be self-destructive.  I will not see this destructive side, however, for I am blinded by my own reflection.  My self-image does not have a back side, or a dark side.  For I am a work of majestic wonder in my own mind: 
                                               when I arrive, the party begins;
                                               and when I leave, the music stops.
      How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!  For thou has said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:  I will sit upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.  Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.  (Isaiah 14: 12-15)
   In Lucifer's imagination, he saw an image of himself; and he magnified himself to believe that he could reign in heaven and that God would be under his feet.
   As it was with Lucifer, so it is with people when they magnify their own image in their own imaginations, for they will worship themselves instead of God.
    Like Lucifer, they will believe they will ascend into heaven without God's permission, and that they will sit on a throne that is above God.
   And just as God cast Lucifer out of heaven and brought him down to the pit, so will people be brought down in like manner because of their false in their own image.
   A mind without God becomes a habitat for the devil, and because of the self-righteous self-image that people hold up of themselves in their imaginations, God becomes their enemy; and their desire will be that others will see them as they see themselves:  highly exalted and lifted up.  Being deceived, they become deceivers, and their entire lives will be lies that they live in their own imaginations.
   If I see an image of me in my imagination, then Christ, too, will be no more than an image in my imagination.  And the Bible will be no more than a myth and a fairytale, just as I imagine that it should be.  Which means that even truth will be no more than I imagine truth to be. 
   Imagination is the power of self-image psychology, and it is also the power that prevents us from learning the knowledge of God. 
     

WOMEN OF THE MOB

   In secret societies, women are not included; for in secret societies, women and children are no more than servants (or slaves) to men.  This has been the story of secret societies for thousands of years, and this is the story of secret societies today.
   The reason so little has been known about secret societies is because their activities have been in secrecy, under the cover of darkness.  But because information has come out in the light in recent decades, and especially because of the internet, truth has been written and posted that was not available to the public for hundreds and thousands of years.
   Men of secret societies have created all of the religions of the world, and if people will consider the evidence they should agree in this truth:  the leadership hierarchy of religions is the same leadership hierarchy that is found in secret societies:  orders of men and women not included. 
   Women, however, have been given token positions (to help them believe they are important to the cause) even though their positions are to serve the men.  To these men, women are no more than sexual pleasures and mothers to produce children---while the men are free to do as they choose to do without women getting in their way, or from knowing their secret affairs.  To them, a "wife" is the same as a "servant" or a "slave".
   Secret societies and religions share a common ground:  they are in favor of everything that God is against. 
   Thus, we should be able to clearly see and understand that secret societies and religions are anti-God, anti-Christ, and anti-Bible:  for the men of secret societies hide within religions, for religion is the perfect place where people do not expect to find evil men. 
   Such men have also found a place to hide within Christian religions or Christian churches.  Why, surely the preacher would not belong to a secret society, would he?  Why, surely a priest would not be a pedophile, would he?  Why, surely priests would not be homosexuals and nuns would not be lesbians, would they?
   In the world today, where do you see women in religions all over the world?
   In the world today, where do you see women in governments all over the world?
   In the world of music, movies, and television, women are portrayed as no more than a seductive goddess, to be desired of all men.  And if a woman will not allow her body to be used as sexually provocative, there will be no place for her in music, movies, or television. She will be sent home to do what nice girls do---nothing.
   And in politics, about the only time you see women is when they are clinging to their husbands' arms in press conferences for photographers, sporting the latest fashion designs, or sitting dutifully beside their husbands at a dinner for the heads of states, which are men.  After that, she quietly disappears while the men huddle behind closed doors and in secret chambers to smoke expensive cigars and sip vintage wines, and to discuss matters of utmost importance---with women not included.  She is not supposed to know what the men do; neither is she supposed to ask.
   How much of this macho mentality has permeated the minds of men in communities all over the world?  Or, is this all there is to being a woman?
   The fundamental foundation of civilization is the family, and these men have disintegrated and redefined the family.  With women viewed as no more than servants of men, where does that leave children in the minds of men, consumed by their own egos?  Do you see any of them standing up for God and biblical principles for women, men, and families?  No, not one.
   These men are self-serving, and their desire is to control and dominate the world, which also means they desire to control and dominate women and children; for they do not have a natural desire for women:  for they have been deceiving women for more than six thousand years.
    In truth, God did not create women to be servants and slaves to men.  God did not create women to be sexual goddesses, nor to be prostitutes.  But if a women will not see herself as God sees her, she will only see herself in the image that men have portrayed her to be.  And when she is old and wrinkled and her beauty faded, her husband will cast her to the street in exchange for a younger model---just like a car.
      Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain:  but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.  (Proverbs 31: 30)
   In his lifetime, Jesus of Nazareth never mistreated women.  He never excluded women.  He never spoke of women as servants or slaves to men.  Neither did the Lord teach the apostles and disciples to treat women as sexual goddesses, or as prostitutes. 
   If men today would treat women the way Jesus did, what a better world we would be living in now!
  
  

DOUBLE EXPOSURE

      the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth. (Genesis 8: 21)
   Whereas, Every 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. (James 1: 17)


   Go to the toddler and consider his ways, for children learn from their environment. 
   Contrary to private and public opinion, we are born to be bad, not born to be good.  We are born to tear down and destroy, not born to build up.  When a toddler learns to walk, he becomes a soldier of terror.  When he does not get his way, he stomps.  Left alone in his ways and without corrective discipline, he will continue his binge of destruction, for he knows no other way.  He will be mean and nasty, not pleasant and nice.  As he grows older, he will seek people who are like-minded because he identifies with their behavior, and he will seek a brotherhood of his own characteristics.
   Moreover, if the toddler is trained in the school of religion, he will be religious.  If he is taught to worship idols, he will worship idols. If he is taught that a man of the earth can forgive his sin, he will go to that man to have his sin absolved.  If he is taught socialism, he will become a socialist.  In his mind, he will seek others who are like-minded, and he will hate those who are not like him.  For the toddler's knowledge is planted in his mind from people within his own environment.
   On the other hand, a toddler can be taught how to be a good and nice person within a religion.  He can be taught to take baths, comb his hair, wear clean clothes, be a good neighbor to others, get a good education, get a good job, make money, and become a model citizen.  After which he can train his children to do likewise:  to be a good religious person.  Through his goodness, he will believe that he is in good standing with the god of his religion.  That he is a man of peace instead of a man of war. And because he believes that his religion has purified him, he will not believe that he needs Christ for salvation because he found salvation in his religion:  in those rites and rituals that he can see with his eyes and touch with his hands.  This toddler's knowledge has also been planted in his mind from people within his own environment, but because he is good and nice, instead of a terrorist toddler, his life will become a performance of good deeds. 
   Without God, however, the imagination of man is a factory of evil.  He can create things that are evil as well as look evil, but, because of his power to deceive, he can also create evil things that actually look good and sound good.  For example, a Devil's Food cake appears to be a white cake.  Yet only the icing is white, for under the icing the cake is black.  Likewise, a man in a white robe can appear to be a minister of God, yet under the white robe the man's heart is black with evil, for he is only pretending to be a minister of God, and, because of his power to deceive, people will actually believe that he is a minister of God, after which they will bow to him, as if he is a god, and kiss his ring.
   Even before the Great Flood of Noah, God rendered His assessment of man's behavior on the earth by saying:  every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.  (Genesis 6: 6)
   Because of this power to deceive that man exercises from his imagination, many people of the earth believe that God is among us in a man on the earth, that he rides on a white horse, in an armored limousine, in a bulletproof chariot, and flies in a sophisticated aircraft surrounded by a squadron of military fighter jets.  If they truly believe that their "god among us" is supernatural, why do they believe they must protect him from being killed, murdered, or assassinated? 
   Throughout human history, men of religion have been the kings of pedophilia---the darkest evil of man's evil imagination.  And though people of religion can know that their "god among us" is a pedophile, that he rapes little boys and girls, they will turn their faces from this truth because they believe that their god can do whatever he wants to do, that he should have whatever he desires to have, because if they deny their god, he will deny them---because he is, after all, a god and not a man.
   And when God saw Nimrod and the people building the tower of Babel, the Lord said: now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.  (Genesis 11: 6)
   In man's imagination, he builds a brick wall that protects him from the knowledge of Almighty God.  In the world that he creates in his own imagination, he feels safe and secure, for it is there that he also believes he has manufactured his own way to step over sin and to reach his imaginary destination, which is his imaginary heaven---a utopia without God.  In his imaginary world, however, Satan has pulled the wool over his eyes and closed the blinds.  And because of the power of man's imagination, he sees his own image in his imaginary heaven, created in his mind from the imaginations of evil men, which is a double exposure:  their minds became his mind.
      But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:  in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.  (2 Corinthians 4: 3-4)


  

SHAKESPEARE'S STAGE

      All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players:  they have their exits and entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.
                    ---William Shakespeare


   What is the meaning of life, and how much is your life worth in your own eyes as well as in the eyes of others?
   According to William Shakespeare's seven ages, your latter years will be no more than the days of your infancy because you will return to a second childhood, at which time you will depend on others to take care of you, to feed you, to read bedtime stories to you, and to clean up after you.
   Shakespeare's assessment does not give us much hope, does it? 
   Do you think of yourself as no more than an actor on a stage, playing your role in the play, and the clothes you wear is the uniform of your character?  Is that all there is to your life? 
   In two or perhaps in no more than three generations from now, people in your own family line will know no more about you than a name etched on a tombstone.  Unless you leave a written record of your life, people will have blank faces when they hear or read your name.  They will never know about your dreams, your accomplishments, nor possess any of the things you leave behind.  Were you no more than an actor, or a character, on Shakespeare's stage of life?  Did you play your bit part, only to disappear behind the curtain and be seen no more?
   In the eyes of the world, we are no more than Shakespeare's description:  actors on the stage of life, living the seven ages of man in a lifetime, only to die, return to dust, and never to be known thereafter.  So much for the inscription, "GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN".
   For as we look at the world as Shakespeare's stage of life, we see two groups of men as the stars of the show, the dominate players, the ones at center stage, and constantly in the spotlight.  Their names are in newspaper headlines, and their images are ever-constant on magazines, tabloids, and television.  These are the men of politics and the men of religion, and people all over the world follow them as minor characters in the play, bowing at their feet as gods, feasting from their words, and believing that they are leading us to a new frontier, or to a promised land flowing with milk and honey, and that we are to keep the dream alive in the minds of children, the future generations of fantasy and make-believe.
   Over the past two thousand years, such men have been actors of the same role, spinning the same yarn, and people have been living the same script that they have written; for on Shakespeare's stage of life and seven ages, there is no room for God, nor for Christ, nor for the Bible. 
   When God is not included in the lives of people, they are no more than puppets on the strings of their masters.  For across the world today, the knowledge of God is becoming less and less known, and Jesus, in the minds of many, many people, is no more than a imaginary character for Christmas and Easter.
   While millions of people, however, believe in God, believe in Christ, and believe in the Bible, our roles are not important on the stage of this world, for we are outcasts, unimportant, and not wanted.
   On Shakespeare's stage, we are no more than characters in a play, performing our parts, and, after we die, another person picks up our script, takes our clothes, and follows the same performance as servants and slaves to the men of politics and the men of religion.
   Jesus said, For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?  (Mark 8: 36-37)
   So then, what do we profit if we follow the men of politics and the men of religion who have gained the whole world, but have lost their souls?
