FLATLINED

       

   Jesus said, "Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. 
   Pilate saith unto him, What is truth."  (John 18: 37, 38)
   Jesus never answered.    
    Whether Pilate was interested in knowing the truth, or whether he was mocking the Lord, we know not.
   Turning to the Jews, Pilate said, "I find no fault in him at all."
   But a  short time after saying those words, however, Pilate's heart flatlined.  There he stood face to face with the Son of God and his heart for the truth died within him.
   Judas Iscariot went to church with Jesus for three years, sat on the pews and heard Jesus preach, and watched as Jesus performed miracles in front of his eyes.  But on the night before Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem, the heart of Judas Iscariot died within him.  For as Judas was celebrating the Passover meal with Jesus and the other disciples, as soon as Judas took his first bite of food, "Satan entered him".  (John 13: 27)
   Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life:  no man cometh to the Father, but by me."  (John 14: 6)
   How many people are like Pontius Pilate and Judas Iscariot?  How many, like Pilate, work for a government, and how many, like Judas, go to church?  But when confronted with the truth of the Word of the Lord, what do they do?  Do they awaken to "walk in newness of life" (Romans 6: 4), or do they continue to sit on the pews like Judas?---"Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof." (2nd Timothy 3: 5) 
   How many churches have also flatlined?  We know this is true by the fact that more than three hundred Protestant denominations have betrayed Christ to join the World Religion that will arise in Jerusalem in September, 2016.  As long as they remain on the pews, like Judas, instead of standing with Christ, their hearts have flatlined.
   Jesus also said,
      "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."  (Matthew 7: 15)
   Even now, there are false prophets among us, for we now know that Joel Osteen, Rick Warren, Nick Hall, Kenneth Copeland, and T. D. Jakes have met with Pope Francis and agreed to lead their congregations and followers to this World Religion that will arise in Jerusalem next month.
   For these men, their hearts have flatlined, and they are leading their followers to embrace Catholicism, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Witchcraft, which is the hidden religion  within this World Religion.  In truth, these men are leading people to meet Lucifer  face to face in Jerusalem, which is the exact place where Jesus was crucified for the sins of the world.
   Writing this post today has been difficult for me to do, for I know that my heart could have also flatlined years ago, so that today I could easily be one in that number which is heading to Jerusalem next month to meet Lucifer. But God, who is rich in mercy and grace, gave me the strength and the wisdom to kneel to Him and accept the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Thus, I have learned that when God's Word strikes the hearts of people, something truly amazing happens---or, as Jesus said,
      "He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."  (John 7: 38)

I SHALL KNOW HIM

   There will come a day when all electronic communicational systems will cease worldwide.  This includes the internet, cell phones, iPhones, and land lines.  Debit cards and credit cards will be useless, and there will be no cash money. 
   In that day, all properties will become the properties of the state, or the world government, and there will be no emergency services such as ambulances or police.
   People, too, will become property of the state, along with their possessions, including their homes and vehicles.
   Law will be enforced by a global military, and freedom of speech and freedom of travel will be revoked. 
   In that day, people worldwide will be slaves of the state, dominated and controlled by the world government.  If people resist, they will be escorted to concentration camps for imprisonment, torture, rape, beheadings, and drugs experimentations.     
   All of this, of course, sounds like a script for a Hollywood movie, but the Bible has been warning us of this time for more than two thousand years, and that day is at hand:  it could begin at any month, or any day.  All systems necessary for implementation are now in place and ready to go.
   BILLIONS OF PEOPLE TODAY ARE LIVING AS IF GOD DOES NOT EXIST.
   "And for this cause, God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:  that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.  (2nd Thessalonians 2: 11-12)
TRIB-U-LA-TION:  a cause of great trouble or suffering:  misery, wretchedness, unhappiness, sadness, pain, anguish, agony, travail, trauma.
   Jesus said,
      "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth:  for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."  (Luke 21: 25-26)
   During the tribulation (and because of the "strong delusion" sent by God) people will be unable to discern the difference between right and wrong, truth and lies, or good and evil:  and the whole earth will be consumed with violence. 
   As it was in the days of Noah before the flood, so shall it be during the tribulation. 
   As it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, so shall it be during the tribulation.
   Even now, there are wars and rumors of wars upon the earth. 
   Terrorism is a war that is going global, and nations like Iran, Turkey, Syria, North Korea, Russia, and China are itching to launch World War III, thereby producing a nuclear holocaust.
   There will be no end of the madness that is arising upon the earth, for out of this chaos and disorder, Witchcraft will stand up to be the dominate religion, fueled by the ingestion of mind-altering drugs. 
   At the end of the tribulation and on a certain day, Christ will return from Heaven:  and we have these promises given to us in the Holy Bible:
      "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him:  and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.  Even so, Amen."  (Revelation 1: 7)
      "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall me:  but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."  (1st John 3: 2)

"I Shall Know Him" was written by Fanny Crosby in 1891 and is performed in this video by The Mullins.

     

THE FOURTH MAN

   God revealed the truth of Christ to Pontius Pilate in a note from his wife, saying to him:  

   "Have nothing to do with that just man:  for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him."  (Matthew 27: 19)

   But Pilate rejected the truth from God and said,

      "away with him".

   For more than two thousand years, God has been revealing the truth of Christ in the Holy Bible, to which many people have accepted from God while many others have rejected Christ like Pontius Pilate.

   "GOD, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

    Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

    Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, whom he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

    Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 

    For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?  And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to be a Son?"  (Hebrews 1: 1-5)
   Judas Iscariot was next to turn his face against Christ.  He went to church with Jesus for three years, and all he did was sit on the pew and watch as Jesus preached, and he also watched as Jesus performed miracles in front of his eyes.  He barked when he saw Mary washing the feet of Jesus with a costly ointment, "Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?",  he asked.  Three hundred pence was a year's wage, and Judas saw the ointment being wasted on the feet of Jesus.  But Judas never opened his heart to Jesus, then sold his soul to the devil for thirty pieces of silver, which was the exact price paid to the master of a slave.  And after betraying the Lord, Judas committed suicide and went to hell.
   The third man was a thief and he was crucified on a cross next to Jesus; and said to the Lord:  "If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us."  Clearly, this man's only interest was in himself, to be spared from death, but not for his future beyond the grave.
   But the fourth man was different.  He, too, was a thief and was crucified on the other side of Jesus, so that Jesus was between them.  Speaking to the third man, "Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?  And we justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds:  but this man hath done nothing amiss."  Turning to Jesus, he said, "Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom."  To which Jesus responded, "Verily I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise." 
   Three years later, Pilate was removed by Caesar from his position as Governor of Judea; thereafter, his life is a mystery.  Historians are not sure if Pilate was exiled to an island by Caesar, or if he committed suicide in a river.
    Four men met Jesus, but only one believed in the Lord and received salvation for his soul.

THE CLINTON PLANTATION

The Clinton Plantation, Chappaqua, New York

    Hillary Clinton claims to be the champion for women and children, here in the United States and abroad.  At least that's how she paints herself on an easel.  And at least that's the way the people who follow her believe as they sit on the floor and admire her portrait:   the image of an all-caring, all-giving woman, the personification of everything a woman ought to be.  To them, there is none other person in the world like Hillary Clinton.  People in American ghettos believe that, and so do the Democratic politicians in Washington, the richest and most famous celebrities in Hollywood, and the richest and most powerful men and women in the world:  Presidents, Kings, Queens, Prime Ministers, Princes, Dictators, and, of course, friendly Bankers.  In their own minds, surely all of these people must be right, for they gladly give her their votes as they just as gladly give her their money:  and Hillary, just as gladly, accepts both.
   Hillary knows what she is, the people giving her money in exchange for tricks know what she is, and the voters don't care.  To them, she is the golden calf of American politics---perfect in all her ways and certainly not a sinner.
   But as an advocate for women and children, what exactly has she done for women and children?
   There are suffering children all across America, but where is Hillary:  to stand for them, or to plead their case? 
   There are suffering women all across America, but where is Hillary:  to stand for them, or to plead their case?
   Human trafficking of women and children is big business across America, but where is Hillary:  to stand for them, or to plead their case?
   Likewise, there are suffering women and children worldwide, but where is Hillary:  to stand for them, or to plead their case? 
   Historically, we know that slave owners live in extravagant manors high upon hills to look down at their servants in the fields, or to keep a watchful eye on their concubines. 
   The Clinton Plantation is on a hill, not far from the ghettos of New York City, where women and children are suffering from abusive relationships and drug-induced prostitution.  But where is Hillary:  to stand for them, or to plead their case? 
   Certainly, Hillary Clinton is not solely responsible for all of the suffering of women and children, but it would be fair to say, however, that she is the epitome of it:  for even the richest people giving her money do not stand for women or children, or plead their cases; for they simply close their eyes to the suffering of people at the bottom of the hills, from the balconies of their estates, and neither do they care.  They get in their cars and drive on by---"To the airport, please"---and fly away until the next money drop.
   Their goal, of course, is to keep people living on plantations, in ghettos and squalid living conditions, while continuing to dangle a carrot in front of their noses, which deceives them to believe that they will one day exit the gates of freedom that leads to better jobs, better educations, and greater things in life---but if and only if the slaves will vote for them and give them money; and while the rich get richer, the slaves remain on the plantations, because the carrot never moves. This lie has worked for hundreds of years and it still works today.  For some unknown reason, however, the slaves keep believing in the promises, over and over again.
   Hillary Clinton is immune  to pain and suffering.  She keeps herself isolated and insulated, being carefully sanitized  for fear from even touching  needful people.  Her only friends are the rich and famous as she looks down her nose from her plantation balcony at all the slaves in the field:  desiring their votes, and, of course, their money.
   Judas Iscariot also loved money.
      "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)


  


WOMEN: WHY?

      "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."  (Genesis 1: 27)


   If you ever read parts of the Qur'an of Islam, you will learn that Allah has nothing good to say about women; in fact, the only woman mentioned by name in the Qur'an is Mary, the mother of Jesus.  Other than that, not one name of a woman is written, not even the names of the wife or female children of Mohammad the prophet of Islam.
   To Allah, women are as nothing.  They are to be no more than slaves of men, to be used and abused as men desire, and even to be hanged or beheaded by the authority of men.  Women have no civil or religious rights, no right for an attorney, and even the police will not stop men from abusing them or killing them.
   We know that the World Religion will gather in Jerusalem next month, and we know that Islam is the third leg of a tripod---along with Catholicism and Judaism---that will hold all other world religions together under the authority of Pope Francis.
   But let us be clear at this time and very honest:  Allah is just another name for Satan.
   So the question of the day is this:
      Why would women of the Catholic Church, or women of all Protestant denominations that are moving toward Jerusalem, choose to remain as followers of this World Religion, knowing the history of Islam?  For even this World Religion will be a system dominated by men, where women will have no seat at the table.  They will be used and abused in the future just as they are used and abused now.
   Women, you are better than this! 
   You are created in the image of God and not in the image of Allah. 
   For women hold a special place in the heart of God as well in the heart of Christ our Lord.
   It was a woman named Mary, who anointed Jesus with oil.
   It was the woman at the well, whom Jesus had compassion, after which she became an evangelist, ran to town and brought men to Jesus, and saying, "is not this the Christ?"  (John 4: 29)
   It was Mary and Martha and their brother Lazarus of Bethany who were special friends of Jesus, and Jesus was a frequent quest in their home when the Lord was near Jerusalem.
   It was Claudia Procula, the wife of Pontius Pilate, who became a disciple of Jesus after the Lord's crucifixion.
   It was a group of women, and not men (other than John), who remained at the cross of Jesus while the Lord bled and died.
   It was Mary Magdelene, who was the first witness at the empty tomb of Jesus, who ran and "told the disciples that she had seen the Lord."  (John 20: 18)
   It was Mary, the mother of Jesus, who was praying in the upper room with 120 disciples on the Day of Pentecost, where "they were all with one accord in one place".  (Acts 2: 1)
   It was Fanny Crosby, 1820-1915, who wrote more than a thousand hymns for the Lord, and Fanny Crosby was blind.
   Throughout the Bible, there are hundreds and hundreds of names of women, who have done some great and marvelous works for God:  and God remembers them, each and every one. 
   But God also knows that women like deals, and there is no better deal than Christ the Lord.
   Knowing this, women can be assured that they will have a seat at the table of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (see Revelation 19: 6-9). 
      "Nay in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."  (Romans 8: 37-39)

JERUSALEM, JERUSALEM

"Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.  Who is this King of glory?  The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.  Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.  Who is this King of glory?  The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory."  (Psalm 24: 7-10)

T MINUS 30 DAYS

   The World Religion that will arise in Jerusalem next month will be void of the love of God because it is void of the knowledge of God.  It will be a religion of evil, and the earth will be filled with violence.
   Yeshua HaMashiach  is Hebrew, which means, "Jesus the Messiah".
   As this world religion gathers in Jerusalem next month, the Jews of Judaism will not say, "Yeshua HaMashiach",  because these Jews have rejected Christ, just as Pope Francis and all of the leaders of all the religions have rejected Christ, and the love of God, therefore, does not abide in their hearts.
   We have thirty days before this religion arises from the launching pad in Jerusalem and fills the earth with violence.
   This has happened before.
   Remember Noah's flood?
      "And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.  And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart."  (Genesis 6: 5-6)
   Then the Lord added,
      "for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth." (Genesis 6:21)
   But also, do you remember the Tower of Babel?
      "And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the face of the earth.
        And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 
        And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they all have one language; and this they begin to do:  and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
        So the LORD scattered them from thence upon the face of all the earth:  and they left off to build the city."  (Genesis 11: 4-8)
   Interestingly, when this World Religion gathers in Jerusalem next month, they will celebrate at a place called the Tower of David.
   Moreover, do you also remember Sodom and Gomorrah?
      "And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
         Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; and he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and that which grew upon the ground; the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace."  (Genesis 18: 20-21; 19: 24-25; 28)
      "SO SHALL MY WORD BE THAT GOETH FORTH OUT OF MY MOUTH:  IT SHALL NOT RETURN UNTO ME VOID, BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH I PLEASE, AND IT SHALL PROSPER IN THE THING WHERETO I SENT IT."  (Isaiah 55: 11)
   Yes, God is love, and, yes, God is gracious and merciful; but what people need to understand is that God is serious  about those things He says He will do, for "God is angry with the wicked every day."  (Psalm 7: 11)
    Therefore, we should be able to understand and know that this World Religion that will gather in Jerusalem next month is a wicked thing, and God's judgment will surely fall upon it.
    We have but a short time before this wicked religion arises in Jerusalem, and the time on the clock is T Minus 30 Days and counting.  What will people do between today and the end of September, 2016?  Will they continue to follow its evil ways, or will they come out of it and follow Christ the Lord?
     "Make a joyful unto the LORD, all ye lands.  Serve the LORD with gladness:  come before his presence with singing.  Know ye that the LORD he is God:  it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.  Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise:  be thankful unto him, and bless his name.  For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations."  (Psalm 100: 1-5)
