Fake Teaching

I used to hear the phrase “false prophet” and imagine a mean guy in a suit jacket, with intimidating eyebrows and maybe a snake-like, forked tongue. False prophets or fake teachers were a big deal and worse than Leftist Liberal Fake News. Manipulators. These fools are Tricksters. Surely, they were obvious—right?

A fake or false teacher is not always an impostor with an evil agenda commanding the stage and presenting a false gospel—there are unfortunately plenty of people in the pulpit today preaching a message they believe to be accurate and from God. There are men out there who believe they are Saved and preach a method of Salvation that’s sadly not in the Bible; like Eternal Salvation or Once Saved Always Saved so they can continue sinning without consequence of ever losing their “Salvation,” or Water Baptism a requirement to be Saved, Speaking in tongues as only evidence of salvation and Holy Spirit filled, wives and children in Heaven now and or later, and the one where everyone will be given an opportunity to be Saved when Jesus returns and no one will go to Hell except Satan and his demons, and even they might end up in Hell after all.. Sad bunch of folks Jesus will quickly reject and they’ll ask why… And there are many teachers claiming to know the Word who don’t know it at all. They’re blind, leading the blind, and they’ll be held accountable for it in the end. “Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness” (James 3:1).

With all the potential deception abounding, how can we know if we’ve been exposed to false teaching?

Here are five ways to know if you have been raised on false teaching:

1. Phrases you thought were Biblical, aren't. ~I saw an online quiz a few years ago that gave a list of statements, and the reader was supposed to determine if the phrase was Scripture or a common phrase. Quotes like “God helps those who help themselves” and “Cleanliness is next to godliness” and “God will never give you more than you can handle” were just some of the choices that people fell for as Scripture that are actually not in the Bible.I read somewhere that when US Treasury teaches their agents to recognize counterfeit money, they don’t have them study the fake bills—they study the real ones. When you’re familiar with the Truth, the Lies are easier to recognize by default. Christians would do well to enforce this same habit. Through the Holy Spirit study the Word of God and know The Word (Jesus), so when someone makes an inaccurate claim, you can immediately know the truth.“I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against You.” (Psalm 119:11)“

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” (Joshua 1:8)

2. You put more trust in experiences than in the Word of God. ~This is a particularly sticky area, because different denominations tend to place more emphasis on charismatic elements than others, but that doesn’t automatically mean they don’t Believe in the inerrancy and authority of the Word and should be discarded. Be careful what you condemn and write off, just as you should be careful what you take in and believe. Experiencing God is a crucial element of our faith journey. There’s a connection and a relationship we have with God that assures our hearts of our salvation.“

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with Him.” (Romans 8:16-17)

Our walk with God isn’t information only. After all, the Word says that even the demons believe and tremble (James 2:19). They have head knowledge, and head knowledge clearly doesn’t Save one’s soul. We experience God every time we read His Word, every time we pray. And sometimes, God does miracles in our hearts and in the lives of others. Some of these miracles are tangible, some are internal. The act of Salvation itself in every depraved sinner’s heart is a miracle! We experience God!

However, when we start to trust someone’s experience over what the Word says, we get in trouble quick. If a pastor or teacher claims to have heard from the Lord, especially about you and your future, be careful what you believe. Test it. And if that pastor or teacher claims the Lord told them something that is contrary to the Bible, you can be certain it is false.

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.” (1 John 4:1-3)

3. You don’t question anything. ~ In some denomination, this was a sign of a “good girl or boy” Good boys didn’t question the pastor or girls ask questions at all. They listened, took notes, and believed every word that was spoken from the pulpit as solid gold and infallible Truth. There was no need to go read the Bible and find out for yourself, because you were “a good boy and girl.”

One of the reasons I left the church I attended for several years as a (much younger) adult was because the pastor occasionally tried to present his opinion as scriptural. The topic in question was a controversial one among Believers, but instead of pointing that out and encouraging each Believer to seek the Lord in this area for themselves, he proclaimed his position and opinion as authoritatively Biblical. It broke my trust in his interpretation and exposition of the Word and ended up an atheist for most of my young adult life that eventually dibbled and dabbled into mysticism, spiritualism, magic, Mormonism, Islam, etc… before giving my life back to Jesus Christ. We should certainly have a measure of trust for our pastor and leaders in the church, but it’s also good and right to check their words against the Word of God. A solid pastor would encourage you to do so, and to correct him when in err.

4. Your church is too concerned with numbers and budgets. ~ Unlike military chapels, churches require income to keep the lights on and provides salaries for the staff and their families—there’s nothing wrong with that. But even in chapels, when budget meetings take priority over sharing the Gospel, and numbers in the pew take priority over disciplining souls, you can bet that's a Big red flag. Too many pastors today lead lavish lifestyles that place possessions and worldly gain over their flock.

1 Timothy lists the qualifications of an overseer, or a pastor, quite plainly:

"The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church? He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil." (1 Timothy 3:1-6)

This obviously does not mean that any pastor who lives in a nice house or drives a decent car is a false teacher. Far from it—the Bible allows enjoying the fruits of one’s labor. However, there is a discernible difference between the pastor whose heart is for giving, and the one whose heart is focused on his paycheck and wealth and notoriety building.

5. Your church tries really hard to "sell" the gospel. ~ When the emphasis on meeting quotas to provide financially is so high, it only serves to pressure the staff to create a “more appealing” gospel to bring people through the doors. Why do you think so many churches today rely on fog machines, light shows, Broadway-talented worship singers, and coffee bars to rival Starbucks? or an actual Starbucks in the church (talk about oxymoron). There’s nothing innately wrong with any of those things individually, but when the heart of the church is beating to the tune of a performance rather than having the Gospel speak for Itself, something is amiss.

When the church believes they have to pretty up, go "Hollywood" and “sell” Christ, rather than simply presenting the Word of God and making way for the Holy Spirit to do what only He can do, there’s something very wrong. Only God can Save. The role of a pastor is to exposit the Word of God, not imply that it isn’t sufficient.There are certainly more signs than just these on identifying false teachers and false gospels, but this is a start on learning to recognize the red flags of false doctrine. The more you stay in the Word of God, the easier it will be to see even the more subtle hints of false teachings that exist today.

Fake News is relatively new and harmless compared to fake or False prophets, pastors and teachers teaching False Doctrines and personal beliefs in the war between Good and Evil. #REBTD

Official Graveyard Shift Lyrics

Rats Well Mrs. Pharmacist / I insist / fix me up with something quick I’ve been a bad little boy and I think i’m getting sick Sick to the bone / slave to the flesh Better put on my Sunday’s best I’ve been bad little boy… little boy

I’ve got a dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty little secret And I’m not not not sure that I wanna keep it So we feed ourselves lies to submit to the shadows Cause we just wanna dance under our pretty perfect halos

Everyone’s got a secret Whats yours? whats yours? Don’t be shy, i’ll never repeat it

Oh Mrs. Pharmacist / if I resist / lock me up and bind my wrists You’ve been a bad little girl…. little girl. Close your eyes and listen close I know just how much you love it If you speak you lose your turn So shut your mouth before I fuck it

Everyone’s got a secret Tell me all about yours

Love. Hate. Oh how we play the game Cold soul No sense of self control Love. Hate. Unsure to pass or play Cold soul / now we’re out of control

Roses are red, and my heart is black We creep about the floor to indulge like Rats Enraptured, we walk to nurse our obsession Cause the roles that we play are paved with cruel intentions

Well Mrs. Pharmacist… If you insist

I’ve got a dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty little secret And I’m not not not sure that I wanna keep it So we feed ourselves lies to submit to the shadows And I just wanna shake you by your little perfect fucking halo

Everyone’s got a secret Whats yours? whats yours? Don’t be shy, i’ll never repeat it.

Queen For Queen If you wanna soar with vultures, you’ll have to swallow bone The saint charade is over / plastic royalty exposed You wanna play the victim, to preach upon your throne No semblance of virtue as your relevance erodes

We go queen for queen and move just like this

When you fall down Will you back out As you crawl through life with no crown? Though you preach love, you package lies Just a pawn in a kings disguise

I never said I’m perfect, there’s a guilt behind these eyes So check me If it helps you fall asleep at night

Your skeletons are building / your closet’s getting tight Are you the prey or spider in the web of all your lies?

When you fall down Will you back out As you crawl through life with no crown? Though you preach love, you package lies Just a pawn in a kings disguise

Don’t stop breathing in the chemicals You don’t know humble… though you play the role Pockets of evergreen are your amphetamine Please stop feeding what you can’t control

YOU’LL FALL. You’ll bend, you’ll break, (you’ll) trip over your “fame” Be careful, or you’ll run your mouth off your face

Necessary Evil (Feat. Jonathan Davis) Strip off the weight of morality, and check it at the door I’ll show you the worst in me …what i’ve become Blow out the candles I need not a wish For I am everything Now crawl to my boots and lick Kneel before me

Imma have my cake and fucking eat you too.

It’s my party and i’ll die when I want to, die when I want to, die when I want to The monster you’ve made is wearing the crown I’ll be the king and you be clown I’ll take the blame (and) parade it around. You’ve made me the villain you can’t live without.

Reciting violence like poetry No you can’t sit with us Too fashionably plain Now say my name Forget everything you think you knew of who I used to be I look much better as… as the enemy

Imma have my fucking cake and eat yours too.

I want you low I won’t let you die (I’ll) keep you alive Just to remind you of what you are not

It’s my party and i’ll die when I want to you wanna see me fail, but I won’t die for you.

Soft You’re mine motherfucker

Let me begin with envy’s a sin You’ll have to find new words to invent Cause I’ve heard your broken record, and i’m not impressed

I love when you talk, I just use it to drive me I won’t let your judgement define me I’m not broken, so don’t fix me I want you to hate me

Tell me what you’ve lost Hang me on your cross If you’re so wise, then why are you so Soft? Do you leave your “throne” as you cast your stones? I’m above living under your microscope

I’m insane, I’m “insane in the membrane” I wanna fuck your face with a switchblade I’m not broken, so don’t fix me I’ll leave you behind me

Internet killed the video star

Cry baby cry baby, did I just hear you whimper? Cry baby cry... Suck my middle fucking finger

Cry baby / Cry baby What have you done lately? Cry baby / Cry baby What have you done?

Tell me what you’ve lost. Demonize my flaws Do they call you when dumb needs a mascot? Do you leave your “throne” as you cast your stones? I’m above living under your microscope

You dilate / god of your existence Begging me to listen while you “pray” Swallow in vain / sliver spoon religion Closer from a distance

You’re mine motherfucker

Untouchable They try to bend / they try to break me by design But I am the nightmare that will haunt you in the light

If it��s war that you want… then I’m ready to play And the world’s gonna know my name

Through everywhere that I go Every failure I’ve owned Every crack in my bones I’m Untouchable Like a sleeping grenade Built to blow you away Pull the pin… I explode I’m Untouchable.

Born of the ground I dug myself out from the dirt With every scar I will avow to shake the earth

Unless it’s blood that you want.. then get the fuck out my way Cause the world’s gonna scream my name

I will never be silenced I will eclipse the pain

You can’t let it go (It’s) the price that we pay But I own the grave from which I came You reap what you sow We don’t bleed the same Cause I own the rights to my own fate And i’ll sleep a king on my deathbed

Through everywhere that I go Every failure i’ve owned Every crack in my bones I’m Untouchable Like a sleeping grenade Built to blow you away Pull the pin… I Explode I’m Untouchable.

Every mile from home Every failure I’ve owned Every crack in my bones I’m Untouchable Like a sleeping grenade Built to blow you away Pull the pin… I Explode I’m Untouchable.

Not My Type: Dead As Fuck 2 She’s got no soul / heart black as coal She’s from Hollywood Forever / dug her out of a hole And here we go again / spinnin me in her web She said “there’s just no rest for the queen of the dead”

Another trick to treat with candy apple dreams Gonna rot her teeth cause i’m so sweet One lick to rule them all They crumble as they crawl

She loves me cause I like to give head like a zombie (I) eat eat eat till her insides are on me She loves me cause I give head like a zombie (I) eat eat eat and nobody’s gonna stop me And in the glow of the pale moonlight She goes for a spin on my haunted hayride Tried out the living but I don’t believe the hype Cause if she’s got a pulse, then she’s not my type.

She’s got a temper in stock / made of hemlock Uses absinthe as a lip gloss Death hawk / fresh New Rock’s She’ll use your corpse as a catwalk

She’ll use your corpse as a catwalk Plays truth or dare in the mirror Uses absinthe as a lip gloss Undead, but won’t shed a tear

She’s my graveyard baby She’s my……

D- E - A - D If she’s got a pulse, then she’s not my type.

The Ladder Tragedy / a poisonous lover You infiltrate to destroy Vanity / a cancer unforgiving A charlatan with poise

Fool me once / enough is enough Was I more than a step on your way up? Hollowed out / I’ve no semblance of love Now you’re just somebody that I used to fuck.

Lest we learn / the tables turn / so i’m betting out / I’m betting out. You can be the prey in your masquerade, but i’m getting out / i’m getting out There’s nothing left to repair

Ravenous / self righteous and lurid But how much more till you break? Scavenger / so fucking undeserving You slither in just to take what you can take

Counterfeit / I’m calling your bluff Was I more than just a step on your way up? Now you’ll burn and you’re flesh out of luck Now you’re just somebody that I used to fuck

Lest we learn / the tables turn / so i’m betting out / I’m betting out. You can be the prey in your masquerade, but i’m getting out / i’m getting out Against insight I fed your source of revenue But now, it means nothing to me to mean anything to you

Open grave / I was too blind to see That “love”, spelled to you, is “F A M E”

You fuck your way up the ladder Going down on your way to the top Do your arms ever tire? Or do they heal while you climb with your mouth?

Delete Everything Sever the yearning / you can keep the fucking ring Delete Everything You can keep the fucking ring

Nothing left to repair.

Voices Voices in my head again Trapped in a war inside my own skin They’re pulling me under.

I’ve swallowed myself but the fever remains I’m numb to the pleasure but still feel the pain If I showed you my soul, would you cover your eyes? If I told you the truth, would you dare me to lie?

I keep it all inside because I know that man is every thing but kind

Voices in my head again Beating me in a war I can't win I can hear them now Trapped in a game inside my own skin And I don't know myself anymore They're pulling me under Voices

As I walk through this valley of shadows and death I curse not the “wicked”, I praise not the “blessed” If I told you the truth, you’d beg me to change If fear were a currency, you’d own the bank

I don’t want to live so calloused and frozen / ugly and hopeless I don’t want to live forever, I just want to live right now You can’t take me from me

I keep it all inside because I know that man is everything but kind

LOUD (Fuck It) You gotta be loud / You gotta be rude / so the world can hear you You gotta be crass / You gotta be cold / it’s everything we know Turn it up turn it up now

Another day, a double shot of hate Drink it up like gasoline Underpaid, you graduate, to build somebody else’s dream

With a noose as a tie… do you fantasize of a much different life? The fix for who they want you to be / directly streamed to your TV

And when they turn their backs on you…

You gotta be loud / You gotta be rude / so the world can hear you You gotta be crass / You gotta be cold / it’s everything we know Turn it up turn it up now Loud / Rude / When nobody hears you You gotta stand up / You gotta commit Say “Fuck It”, make the best of it

A broken home you’re trying to mend You’ve got one day left to pay the rent We’re not sure, but we believe in the lie… that it’ll all be fine, when we die

It’s so easy to grant the mirror power to control what you want to erase Don’t become another victim / “Put a smile on that face”

The money’s in the treatment, baby, not in the cure So they fuel your pain with fear and shame and then hand you a brochure The money’s in the treatment, baby, not in the cure So they build you up to watch you fall and then beg for an encore

What are you waiting for?

570 Burn it down / brick by brick / Made in 2006 Lost and found / losing grip / I needed this Question me not, for I gave up everything Forget me not, cause I’ve not forgotten what this means

Strip me down, tear me apart, you’ll find one theme left No sign of stopping till my veins rust Strip me down, tear me apart, you’ll find one thing left I fucking know where I came from

..And nothing can replace those lessons learned as I stood with my brothers on the side of the road No longer haunted by the skeletons No longer haunted by the past

For so long, it’s all i’ve known I’m crossing over the undertow For so long, no one was listening Determined to make their deaf ears ring

Miles repeat / my worst enemy... is me. But then four soon became six… to shatter the canvas Handed nothing / loss pulling the strings Outlived the dead trends / united by distance

I’ve been to hell and back, with no promise of return So I made friends with fire, to keep from getting burned No money, no sleep. dedication 10 years on the road this is sacred And when i’m facing a wall, I do not quit ...Cause if you mean it, you will make it.

Pulled apart in a world so demanding I’m still here, still standing I’ve sweat blood from Stockholm to Scranton Still here, still standing.

You can always rinse the surface, but the stain will remain

For so long, it’s all i’ve known I’m crossing over the undertow For so long no one was listening I did my time

You live / you learn / you defy the terms, but this house will be my home Beguiled / betrayed / it’s the price we pay, as trust will be our tomb

If you mean it, you'll make it.

Hourglass I’ve watched the whole world drowning in chemicals Dissociative / but it takes it’s toll Can I surpass time, or would I start to rust? Depreciating / collecting dust

And I fear myself as I fall away In a cold deluded sense of fate When the nightmares come, and the doubt sets in Will the fever break, or will I burn from within?

It’s too late to feel, I’ve lost my breath With the hands of time around my neck Am I more than the pen that wrote the past? Or am I just the sand enslaved by the Hourglass?

Will I live again, or will I fade to black? Dehumanizing / when the heart attacks Will I expire before my dreams unfold? But if the futures so bright, the path should glow

As the walls melt and the light fades I’m letting quicksand take me

If you look beyond the blindfold You’ll find the hole in my soul One fear, one mind, no hope, no time If you look beyond the blindfold You’ll find the hole in my soul

I’m on the edge of my seat Holding out for a sign Trying to rewrite the storyline

It’s too late to feel, I’ve lost my breath With the hands of time around my neck Am I more than the pen that wrote the past Or am I just the sand encased in the Hourglass?

Fear is not my fate

Eternally Yours Blow the bridge to the past / wipe the fingerprints Melt your heart encased in wax / steal it with a kiss Our fate engraved / scar enslaved / as we mutually destruct Repose, my love, i’ve sinned enough for the both of us

In the name of love….. I’m ready to bury all of my bones I’m ready to lie but say I won’t So tell me your secrets / and join me in pieces To rot in this garden made of stones Eternally yours

I feed like you taught me and selflessly swallow We coalesce in darkness, so selfishly hollow Examine the wreckage / writhing in tempo Invisible anguish casting a shadow

and in the name of love…

I’m ready to bury all of my bones I’m ready to lie but say I won’t So tell me your secrets / and join me in pieces To rot in this garden made of stones Eternally yours

As we rest in pieces, though I know not your name I would suffer forever to absolve all your pain

And in the name of love

I’m ready to bury all of my bones I’m ready to lie but say I won’t So tell me your secrets / and join me in pieces To rot in this garden made of stones Eternally yours

I’m ready to bleed to make amends And sleep in this dirt we call our bed So tell me your secrets / and join me in pieces To fall and rewrite the bitter end Eternally yours

I’m more than willing to rot in hell with you.

CROSSING THE RUBICON

There is not one amongst you who is deserving of Father’s love so what was then built in His name shall be put asunder in His name.

4 John 1:2

In the early pedigree of Rome were Christians subjected to experimental deaths of being doused in wax then immolated as human candles perched above dimly lit streets, fed upon by wild animals, boiled in cauldrons, dragged behind horses in extremis, crushed by stone mills, flayed, racked, scourged, crucified, all macabre ways by which the Church in its first three-hundred years was indelibly carved. The Edict of Milan finally did, under the aegis of Emperor Constantine in AD 313, bestow permanent sanctuary onto the multitude of the persecuted amid this pogrom. Yet what confounded magistrates, emperors, and famously Marcus Aurelius, was the readiness of Christians to die, not by retribution for violence exacted onto others but rather by torture and death in spite of innocence either at the behest of Jews thinking them heretic or the Romans thinking them seditious. Proconsul Gnaeus Arrius Antoninus in exasperation once berated an eager mass of Christians for openly avowing their faith, ‘You wretches, if you want to die, you have cliffs to leap from and ropes to hang by’. This phenomenon if not borderline pathology that was Christianity so bewildered pagans that they stood in disbelief at its canon of unconditional love for whomsoever believed in Jesus neither did the authority of man, nor pain, nor even death have any purchase, none whatsoever, on her conscience (John 8:32).

However heavy the yoke, and contrary to conventional wisdom, Christians were not at all martyrs but witnesses. Throughout Rome’s attrition we died by horrific ways neither to galvanize nor to inspire, we simply elected not to renounce what we knew to be true, whether iron spikes were forced into palms, wooden cudgels cracked skulls, or scalding oil and flaming pyres blistered flesh, we understood forces well beyond man were afoot to dispose of us with brute expediency in an internecine war waged since Creation. Angels and demons are not storybook creatures, nor are heaven and hell contrived artifices, totems like these between good and evil scattered across frescos from the Renaissance are materially real. Though for all of Father’s omniscience, He still could not speak of such things in their entirety until humanity had matured enough to learn about them from soothsayers like Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, or John the Baptist who each foretold of a Messiah (Matthew 16:13-6). The eschatology of man would then be learned in increments. Jesus would be, culminating from generations and genealogies of prophets, the proverbial Prometheus spurring man to great heights with an idea akin to the discovery of fire for civilizations to follow. Expressing kindness, patience, and love in the face of abject cruelty would be the cadence to which Western civilization was built.

Let us, you and I, analogize this learning curve together. How does an infant assimilate the science of physics? She is first taught to count abreast of recognizing patterns, then to add, subtract, multiply and divide, subsequently she learns geometry, after which algebra is inculcated in her, then calculus, until finally she ascertains the universe’s secrets from gravity to quantum mechanics although no longer is she a little girl but, in her stead, a woman. There is a time for ignorance as for truth, for youth and old age, from Adam, to Noah, to Abraham, to King David, to Jesus, and all the interstices of descendants between them, Father’s grand design germinated along the Abrahamic and Davidic lines until they crested with a birth in a manger. Every generation heralded the advent of prophets vested with knowledge on the philosophy of Father’s work with the final act on a cross epitomizing what was its apogee — love. If man were effaced from this planet, no longer would evil exist in the universe, there is nothing inherently sinful about nature, nothing Machiavellian about survival, no malevolence when predators consume prey. It is sui generis to man that in him lives a duality whereby a choice is made between prosecuting either good or evil, between espousing love or hate.

Over two thousand years of animus and stigma against Christendom has wrought the genocide of over seventy-million brothers and sisters. In Mosul as of late where its presence was unbroken since the second century, scores of Christians, monasteries, and manuscripts have been purged. An exodus has materialized with the near extinction of our family in the Middle East. Aramaic Christians in Turkey whose language Jesus spoke have been culled from half-a-million at the twentieth century’s outset to a mere two thousand today. Nigerian Christians have been indiscriminately butchered by Boko Haram. In Asia, the police states of China, Myanmar, and Burma politically suppress Christianity to assert authoritarian rule similar to the Third Reich’s ‘Gleichschaltung’ whilst North Korea exterminated three hundred thousand of its Christians. Swathes of the same in India were hacked to death with machetes by Hindu nationalists in the last decade. Legions of priests in the narco-states of Mexico and Columbia have been murdered for agitating against cartels and communism respectively. In Africa’s Eritrea, thousands are housed in internment camps. Egypt’s Coptic Christians have sulphuric acid poured on the crosses tattooed on their wrists. Altogether the compendium of statistical modelling from government and relief agencies estimates 100,000 deaths per annum and forty-five million more in the last century alone.

More furtive has been Christianity’s erosion in the West where the embattled community has been ejected from the public square as the ascendency of secularism in tandem with anti-colonial grievances dismantle nativity scenes, discard the Ten Commandments in courthouses, bowdlerize salutations of ‘Merry Christmas’, abrogate school prayer after 170 years, counterfeit love through pornography, pervert the institution of marriage after five thousand years for the sake of progressivism, and murder the unborn on demand. When Sri Lankans were killed in Churches, the liberal ruling class referred to us as ‘Easter worshippers’ not Christians. When mass shootings aroused widespread prayer, we were derided by smug politicians for our faith. The moral decay is rampant. New social policies shored up by mainstream Hollywood, historical revisionism, and liberal judges destroy whatever is left of a spiritual compass in favour of cultural marxists who think themselves as great emancipators of the human race despite being themselves indentured to Satan who, in a redux, exhorted the hubris of Adam and Eve saying, ‘Then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods’ (Genesis 3:5). These same people, depressed in their own right, labour to impose their loose morals on others so as to vindicate their pathetic existence. Be shrewd as snakes and wary of this truth.

Fantasy and Adventure New Releases: 18 January, 2020

Counterfeit sorcerers, lost in time explorers, clockwork dancers, and straight from the headlines conspiracies fill this week’s collection of fantasy and adventure new releases.

Alt★Hero:Q #2: Not Dead Enough – Chuck Dixon, Vox Day, and Helix Haze

After federal agent Roland Dane survives the successful assassination of the U.S. Secretary of State in Peru, he makes his way back to the United States in secret with the help of a mysterious organization opposed to the global establishment. But when a famous film star is reported dead just hours after the agent visits his house in the Hollywood Hills, Dane realizes that the reach of the evil that is hunting him extends further than he had ever imagined.

Arkhaven has assembled a first-rate production team to create the Alt★Hero: Q series, which explores the incredible QAnon phenomenon that is sweeping the planet. Set in the superhero world of Alt★Hero, Alt★Hero: Q is an astonishing action tale of everyday heroes taking on corruption and evil on a global scale.

Clockwork Dancer #1 – Jon del Arroz and Mary MacArthur

The British Empire views her as an abomination…

…to be captured or destroyed at all costs!

Alastair has created a monster, at least in the eyes of the Anglican Church and under the laws of Queen Victoria. His clockwork automaton has the spark of life, but little does the outside world know she has a heart of gold.

They must go on the run from Her Majesty’s Secret Service and evade an evil plot by the man who first invented clockwork automatons–who will stop at nothing to get his hands on the Clockwork Dancer for his dastardly plans.

Expedition to Eden – J. Manfied Weichsel

The Garden of Eden has been off-limits to mankind since the dawn of time, but deep within a remote mountain range where four mighty rivers begin, history’s original lost world still lies hidden.

This is the story of its discovery, featuring a cast including:

A soldier, spy, and fugitive on the run, he is a man torn between two worlds and two women: a temptress from the world of man and an innocent from the land of Eden!

Paradise might be lost, but this explorer aims to find it. Is he merely a wealthy buffoon, or is he a madman with a sinister agenda?

Terrors of Pangaea (Lost on the Last Continent #1) – John C. Wright

Colonel Preston Lost is a man of many talents. One of the youngest to achieve the rank of colonel, Lost found himself unable to return to civilian life after the war. He was a man born at the wrong time. Chivalry was dead, and there were no more crusades or mighty deeds to be done.

Sport fishing and big game hunting became first a pastime, then an obsession, but the times were against him, and the nations outlawed such sport, as they did anything dangerous, rare, or worthy of manhood. Basically, anything he saw as “fun” or “challenging.” His aerospace plane had, at first, been merely another pastime.

And then he saw the unidentified flying object.

Lost didn’t think of himself as reckless. He believed in preparation, proper equipment, and patience in stalking the prey. But, in reality, he was not a cautious man. If he was, he wouldn’t have followed the spaceship into the black storm clouds above the Bermuda Triangle.

Now he’s at the end of time, having crash-landed on Pangaea Ultima with few supplies and no way of returning home. But Lost is a man of many talents, and anything should be possible for him. Or, is it possible that this time, Lost has met his match?

The Throne of Darkness (The Counterfeit Sorcerer #4) – Rob Kroese

A hooded man, his face marred by a mysterious black brand, walks the Plain of Savlos. Some say he has the power to summon demons. Others say he is the only one who can vanquish them. His name is Konrad, and he has a secret…

Once an ordinary soldier, his life was forever changed by a fateful meeting with a dying sorcerer. Now he is all that stands between civilization and the creeping evil of the shadow world.

Imprisoned by the powerful Cult of Turelem, Konrad the Sorcerer is given a chance at redemption when an apparition of a long-dead prophetess haunts the land. Konrad’s investigation of the ghost leads him to the foreboding mountain fortress of Magas Komaron, where a mysterious ally instructs him in the secrets of sorcery. But can Konrad stop the mad sorcerer Bolond before it is too late?

Witch’s Oath (The Children of D’Hara #4) – Terry Goodkind

Richard knew that there would be no help coming. It was all up to him to stop the threat or Kahlan would die.

They all would die.

Nine companions – Richard, Kahlan, the witch woman Shale and six Mord-Sith, Rikka, Vale, Cassia, Nyda, Berdine and Vika – are hunting a warlock in the waterlogged depths of the People’s Palace. It will take all their skills to close on their quarry, but do any of them understand the true power of a Witch’s Oath?

‘While my masterwork, Sword of Truth, concluded with WARHEART – 20 languages and 26 million books sold – I was burning to tell readers more about Richard and Kahlan. For that reason, this new series starts immediately after the ‘Sword of Truth’ books ended. Without skipping a beat, readers will plunge back into Richard and Kahlan’s lives, with new episodes releasing every three months.

So it is that I want to welcome you all back into the Sword of Truth world with many of the characters besides Richard and Kahlan, such as the Mord-Sith, that we have come to love. Learn what the star shift has done to their world and what monsters now lurk in shadows. I promise an arresting, beautiful, and sometimes tragic adventure that will keep you glued to this irresistible story.’– Terry Goodkind.

Wizard’s Education (Apprentice to Master Series #2) – James Eggebeen

New tests await. It’s time to take control.

When Lorit’s friend and mentor goes missing, he has no choice but to seize the leadership of the Wizards’ Council to win their support. He must undertake the life and death challenges on his own, to become a Master Wizard even though the trials have been subverted by the Temple.

The evil Wizard Priests have bound his partner, the Sorceress Chihon, in their plan to turn her into their next High Priestess. Can Lorit avoid the traps the Temple has set for him and free his friends, or will he fall to their treachery and face them as enemies?

About Revelation

"Memory Text: “On her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” (Revelation 17:5, NKJV)."

"The book of Revelation, as we already have noted, comes filled with images and language taken directly from the Old Testament. For instance, the name Babylon appears six times in Revelation. But it is not talking about the ancient kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar, which had passed from world history hundreds of years earlier. Instead, John is using Old Testament imagery to express a truth. In this case, Babylon—a massive political and religious power that had oppressed God’s people—now describes the massive religious and political powers that will seek to do the same in the end times."

"Something similar happens with the word Armageddon. The word occurs only in Revelation, but it is based on a Hebrew phrase that seems to mean “Mount of Megiddo,” a reference to a location in ancient Israel. A great deal of speculation exists about Armageddon, with many people looking for a massive military battle to take place there, in Megiddo, near the end of the world."

"It has been said that the Bible is a tale of two cities, Jerusalem and Babylon. While Jerusalem stood for the city of God and His covenant people all through the Bible (Ps. 102:21, Isa. 52:9, 65:19, Rev. 3:12), Babylon has stood for oppression, violence, false religion, and outright rebellion against God."

"Think, for instance, of the tower of Babel (Gen. 11:9). The Hebrew word for “Babel” is the same word for the kingdom of “Babylon.” In 1 Peter 5:13, Peter sends greetings from the church in “Babylon,” which generally is understood not to mean from the ruins of the old kingdom located in today’s Iraq but from Rome itself, soon to be the church’s oppressor. This is an interesting appellation in light of the book of Revelation and the role of Rome as presented in it."

"There is no question that the power that Babylon represents, as depicted in the book of Revelation, is a greatly corruptive influence that extends across the whole world. The phrase “the wine of the wrath of her fornication” (Rev. 14:8) is clearly a reference to false doctrine, false teaching, and corrupt practices as well as the end results that come from them. Babylon is a force for evil that has spread to “all nations” (Rev. 18:3). Hence, everyone needs to take heed lest he or she be corrupted, as well."

"Look around at the world today; see the corruption, the confusion, the oppression. What should these things teach us about our need to be anchored in Jesus and in His Word?"

"“The Bible declares that before the coming of the Lord, Satan will work ‘with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness;’ and they that ‘received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved,’ will be left to receive ‘strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.’ 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11. Not until this condition shall be reached, and the union of the church with the world shall be fully accomplished throughout Christendom, will the fall of Babylon be complete. The change is a progressive one, and the perfect fulfillment of Revelation 14:8 is yet future.”—Ellen G. White, The Great Controversy, pp. 389, 390."

"Of course, this coming judgment shouldn’t be surprising. After all, Babylon of old faced judgment (see Daniel 5). Scripture in numerous places is very clear that one day everyone will have to answer for their deeds, including Babylon. How comforting to know that as Christians we have an Intercessor in that judgment who will stand for us (1 John 2:1; Dan. 7:22). Otherwise, our fate might not be much better than that of Babylon’s."

"Although most people, including many Christians, don’t know much about the book of Revelation, one image or word from it has reached popular culture: Armageddon (see Rev. 16:16). Even in secular culture the word has come to stand for a final struggle in which the fate of the earth hangs in the balance. Hollywood produced a movie called Armageddon about a giant asteroid poised to destroy the planet. To some degree, the idea of the world’s end is in the minds of secular people, as well."

"Many Christians who are familiar with the book of Revelation and believe in it see the battle of Armageddon as a literal military conflict in the Middle East near the end of the world. One version has a 200 million-man army from Asia sweeping into northern Israel. Others are fixated on the various military and political conflicts in that part of the world that will, in their understanding, set the stage for the final military battle of Armageddon in the area of Megiddo."

"However, the Bible gives a totally different picture. Scripture presents Armageddon as the ultimate climax—not between squabbling nations, but between the two sides of the cosmic controversy. It’s a religious struggle, not economic or political, however much economic and political factors might come into play."

"Read Revelation 16:12-16. From these texts alone, what can we learn about Armageddon?"

"First, notice just how symbolic the language is here. Spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, the mouth of the beast, and the mouth of the false prophet (references to the powers of Revelation 13; the “false prophet” here must be a reference to the land beast of Revelation 13:11). The great controversy is seen here, too, as the “spirits of demons” (Rev. 16:14, NKJV) go out to battle on the “great day of God Almighty” (Rev. 16:14). In whatever manner Armageddon will unfold, it’s a worldwide conflict between the forces of Christ and Satan. It is not a local battle in the area of Megiddo any more than Babylon in Revelation is talking about events in a corner of modern-day Iraq."

"What, though, is this great battle of Armageddon? First, the name seems to mean “Mountain of Megiddo.” However, there is no mountain in the area known as Megiddo, but Mount Carmel was located in the vicinity. So, scholars have seen the phrase Mountain of Megiddo as a reference to Mount Carmel."

"More to the point, Bible students have seen the story of Elijah and the false prophets of Baal at Mount Carmel as a symbol, a type to what is going to unfold in Revelation 13."

"As seen yesterday, Revelation 16:13, with its reference to the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet, points back to events in Revelation 13, the counterfeit trinity that we saw in week 9."

"Issues in Revelation 13 start to come to a climax in verses 13 and 14, when the second beast performs supernatural acts, even making “fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men” (Rev. 13:13). These events then lead to the direct confrontation between God and Satan, as well as between those worshiping the true God and those worshiping the “image to the beast” (Rev. 13:14)."

"In many ways, what we see here is a stark portrayal of the great controversy. Elijah states the issue very plainly in verse 18: people have forsaken God’s law and are worshiping and following false gods. Has not this always been the issue, regardless of the endless forms and ways in which this evil has been manifested throughout history? We are either worshiping “Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water” (Rev. 14:7, NKJV), or we are worshiping someone or something else. In Revelation 13, instead of worshiping the Lord, people are worshiping the beast and his image.

There is no middle ground. We are either on the side of God or on the side of Satan. That’s how important the issues at stake are, now and especially in the battle of Armageddon, where, as we will see in the story on Mount Carmel, the distinction becomes very clear."

"The battle on Mount Carmel was between Elijah, prophet of God, and the hundreds of priests of Baal. (Notice how the evil outnumbered the good.) It was a test to demonstrate who is the true God—the God who created the heavens and the earth, or Baal, just another manifestation of “the dragon” and another means by which he seeks to deceive the world (Rev. 12:9)."

"The priests prayed to Baal to send fire to burn up their bull sacrifice. They shouted from morning to noon. “ ‘Cry aloud,’ ” taunted Elijah. “ ‘Perhaps he is sleeping’ ” (1 Kings 18:27, NKJV). The priests worked themselves up into a frenzy. They slashed themselves with swords until the blood flowed freely. Weary and worn, they gave up at the time of the evening sacrifice."

"Elijah’s sacrifice was soaked three times, and water overflowed the trenches. Elijah prayed a simple prayer to God. God instantly burned up everything, including the stone altar and soil beneath. The power of the true God in contrast to Baal was now unmistakable."

"Read 1 Corinthians 15:1, 2. Although the immediate context is different from Armageddon, what is the point that Paul is making, and why is that so relevant for us to remember, especially in light of what the future holds? See also Revelation 16:15, in which the context is definitely Armageddon. What, together, do these texts tell us?"

"“In several places in the battle of Armageddon narrative the hideous creatures and the ugly events take the back stage for a moment and a glimpse of more personal truth appears. As we have seen, one of them is Revelation 16:15: ‘Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed’ (NIV). This text, coming right in the middle of the one place in the Bible that actually names Armageddon, echoes many New Testament passages about personal preparation for the return of Jesus and the events of the end."

"“Another such text is Revelation 17:14: ‘These will make war with the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them, because [H]e is Lord of lords and King of kings—and those with [H]im are called and chosen and faithful’ (author’s translation). Here the great war at the end engages an army of people whose primary purpose is not to destroy others with weapons, but to be faithful to their divine calling and election. This is a very different kind of battle from the ones that nations and insurgent operations still fight today. As I have said repeatedly, the battle of Armageddon is a struggle for the mind. It is also a battle for the heart—a call to heartfelt allegiance to the Lamb that was slain (Rev. 5:9, 10, 12; 13:8).”—Jon Paulien, Armageddon at the Door (Hagerstown, Md.: Autumn House Publishing, a division of Review and Herald® Publishing Association, 2008), p. 193."

In the Ellen G. White reference on Monday, she said, “Not until . . . the union of the church with the world shall be fully accomplished throughout Christendom, will the fall of Babylon be complete.” Think about the phrase “the union of the church with the world.” What powerful warning is here for us?"

See how the world of spirits and witchcraft and Hollywood and star-dom all weave together. The demonic spirits are advising/controlling the witches, opening doors of favor to their insiders, their puppets, their minions. Only the CONTROLLED get advanced in media/hollywood/politics.

Those who are celebrities may seem to "have it all" but that is a lie; they are actually in BONDAGE. They seem super successful to the people of the world, but because the are pawns/puppets/slaves to the forces of darkness behind the scenes that are pulling all the strings. So the demons in one minion are coordinating (conspiring and manipulating and scheming) with the demons in the compromise people those around them, then VIOLA, doors of fame/fortune/success open as if by "magic".

Just understand that the price of success in Babylon is a person's soul, and the demons will wear whatever mask will deceive a person into cooperation - often dangling dreams of fame/fortune - to LURE the victim into the occult, into spiritual bondage and domination. Demons can impart supernatural abilities, skills, etc.. Whatever is needed.

But... the real prize -- the demonic agenda - is to (a) deceive the person that they are on some yellow brick road of success as a "special" person (this is counterfeit hope and love and sense of significance), (b) draw them in deeper by TRAINING and conditioning the victim that life "just works" when they obey the voices of these demons, (c) get them killed eventually to CLAIM THE PRIZE - a soul that lived a life serving Satan's kingdom and is now in hell for eternity. What started off as dreams of success, a desire for revenge, or whatever EMOTIONAL DRIVES where orchestrated in a young person, end up putting them on course to falsely imaging they are "winning" when they are actually being setup for eternal death.

"There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end result is death." Proverbs 14:12

NO amount of temporary and worldly success is worth being the servile bitch to a gang of demons, that will mock you in the end! Choose Jesus, who is salvation, freedom and life. And the world's system will probably be AGAINST you, just ike it persecuted Jesus, but only with your heart and trust in jesus' hands can you get free from deception and having your life WASTED by being a puppet for evil agendas (social control, expanding dark influence, etc.), and instead PURPOSEFUL fo good - for God's Kingdom where actual love reigns supreme. It takes abandoning selfish ambition and trusting the Goodness of God, in the person of Jesus of Nazareth.

What Will The Last Days Be Like?

What Will The Last Days Be Like? (We are already HERE)

By David J. Stewart | March 2009 | Updated April 2012

2nd Timothy 3:1, “This know also, that in the LAST DAYS perilous times shall come...”

Increasingly, we are hearing people talk about “The Last Days” or “The End of the World,” and for good reason, because the wickedness is so horrible nowadays. The newsmedia is filled with so much horrible stories and hatred, and the media has no hesitation about destroying someone's life with their manure spreading. Society has become ruthless, craving the bloodiest and most horrid stories in the news... give us more, more, more!

The word “perilous” in 2nd Timothy 3:1 means “hard to endure, dangerous, difficult to bear.” Hence, God is warning us that mankind will spiritually deteriorate in the Last Days, to the point where it will be difficult to bear. Certainly, it is difficult to live in a time when same-sex marriages have become a nightmarish reality, and now President Barack Obama wants to expand their adoption rights as well.

The Bible calls these “perilous” times . . .

2nd Timothy 3:2-4, “...lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.”

This accurately describes today's society. American society has become so rotten.

Increasing Wickedness

America has turned her back against God, praising vile homosexuals and teaching innocent children that it's ok to be homosexual. No it's not! It's a dirty, rotten, vile sin which brings the judgment of God upon sinners (Romans 1:24-32). We've even nicknamed one of our most popular cities, “SIN CITY,” mocking the holy God of the Bible. I assure you whoever you may be, no sin will go unaccounted for by God.

The Bible tells us that the LAST DAYS will be a time of woeful wickedness, when people will become selfish, self-centered and self-righteous. The majority of people these days have become sinfully proud, disobedient, unholy, unthankful, highminded, especially today's youth who are void of genuine Biblical faith and knowledge of Christ. Satan has been working relentlessly through demonic Rock 'N' Roll and other heathen types of music to influence the past few generations. Today, the Rock 'N' Roll superstars of the 1970's and 1980's have a cult-like following of middle-aged and older Americans. It is wickedness in the eyes of God.

America has become so wicked that little children are now being sexually exploited by television producers to make money. Consider the rotten show, DANCE MOMS. According to a study released in December of 2010 by the Parents Television Council (PTC): “Hollywood is shockingly obsessed with sexualizing teen girls, to the point where underage female characters are shown participating in an even higher percentage of sexual situations than their adult counterparts: 47 percent to 29 percent respectively.”

Philippians 3:18,19, “For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.”

Increased Apostasy In The Churches

1st Timothy 4:1-2, “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron.” ...

2nd Timothy 4:3-4, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”

There is much heresy in the churches today. Bible-preaching has been subtly replaced with secular psychology. The mourner's bench has been replaced with video-projection entertainment system. Singing the old hymns of the faith have been replaced with religious Rock music. Repentance and regeneration have been replaced with reformation and rehabilitation. The gospel has been replaced with amending one's ways and making a commitment to Christ. Our churches are dead. Our preachers are puppets to a pulpit committee (over my dead body).

The Bible has been replaced with a corrupt counterfeit. Think about what has happened. Satan has taken everything decent, true and good and has replaced it with the world, entertainment and religion. God deliver us from New World Order false ministers like Pat Robertson, James Robison, Max Lucado, Joyce Meyer, Benny Hinn, John Hagee and Joel Osteen. Satan has tens-of-millions of people getting spiritual food-poisoning, feeding out of the hands of a dozen false ministers.

Instead, we ought to be feeding from the Word of God (John 5:39) and those who skillfully handle the Word of God. I wouldn't give you a dime for any televangelist nor New York Times Bestseller List minister. People are so gullible. It is a shame that hundreds-of-millions of people worldwide don't know anything more about God than what floats in front of them. Instead of seeking out THE TRUTH, the average person today only goes by what they see on TV. Literally, Satan came to you instead of you coming to God.

Here's a great Bible study on the entire Bible by J. Vernon McGee. You'll never see him on TV (because he's in glory). And you won't find his books on a New York Best Seller List (owned and controlled by globalists). I don't agree with everything pastor McGee says, but he's 100% correct on salvation and the fundamentals of the Christian faith. I love his knowledge of secular history, his extensive knowledge of geography from having visited the Holy Land himself, his candor and down-to-earth style of preaching. You will be blessed! Turn off the TV and listen to pastor McGee or Dr. Jack Hyles if you really want to hear some Old-fashioned, Biblical, Christ-honoring, red-hot preaching. Most preachers can't preach their way out of a paperbag.

With all the apostasy in today's churches, I wouldn't trust anything theological from ministers today who stand to gain a profit. I recommend the older preachers who are now in Heaven. All women preachers are false prophets.

Increased Hatred of Christians

John 16:2, “They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.”

There is much anti-Christian, anti-patriotic and anti-masculine authority in the home propaganda being used nowadays to brainwash today's youth. Anti-hate speech laws are being introduced by liberal lawmakers and are being approved little-by-little by godless judges until their accomplishments are mounting significantly against what's left of decent people in America today. Just as Islamic Muslims who follow closely to the core teachings of the unholy Qur'an, so are staunch Bible-believing Christians today being wrongfully labeled as "extremists."

Yet, in some sick, twisted, insane sense, the abortionists don't consider the murdering of children as extreme. The brutal torture of the precious and innocent Terri Schiavo wasn't considered extreme, but it was Nazi-fascism in the extreme! As more and more lesbians, feminists and homosexuals rise to power as judges, lawmakers, politicians, and law enforcement in the United States, Christians WILL increasingly be violated Constitutionally, abused physically, harassed, arrested without probable cause and prosecuted, as terrorists.

The Word of God teaches that in the Last Days, hatred toward Christians will increase. 1st John 2:18, “Little 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.” The word “antichrists” here comes from the Greek word antichristos and means “opponent of the Messiah.” The Bible teaches that in the Last Days there will be many opponents of Jesus Christ, showing indeed that it is the Last Days.

It is now 2012 and Christianity is hated worldwide. The uprising homosexual movement in America is synonymous with hatred of Christians. In a short time, Christians will be completely silenced concerning the evils of homosexuality. Already, Christians have been silenced on the matter of abortion. Homeland Security Unites with the Abortion Industry(pro-life Christians charged with stalking for protesting outside abortion clinic).

As evidence of the increasing hatred against Christians, consider that on March 4, 2012 ABC debuted a new sitcom TV series called “GCB” (Good Christian Bitches). Neither the newsmedia nor the ACLU cared. If that had been a show called “Good Jewish Bitches,” the Jewish-controlled newsmedia would have had a frenzy. The world hates Christians, just as they hate Jesus Christ (John 15:19).

People Will Become Cold, Insensitive and Calloused

Jesus said:

Matthew 24:11,12, “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”

Although Matthew chapter 24 deals primarily with the 7-yeat Tribulation Period, we are already witnessing these events in society today. The Greek word for “iniquity” doesn't mean sin; it means, “injustice, i.e., unpunished sin.” Jesus said that the love of many would wax cold because of injustices like Enron, the 911 attacks and the theft of trillions of dollars of taxpayer money in Washington D.C. There's a mother in Kansas, sitting in prison for life, for possession 1/16 ounce of cocaine. Yet, the criminals from Enron who stole hundreds-of-millions of dollars all walked away free.

There is much injustice in our legal system these days, and people are getting tired and frustrated. Anyone with a brain, who's done even a little bit of study, knows that the 911 attacks were an inside job, that the Bush Administration orchestrated the entire plot, and the primary reason America invaded Iraq was to steal their oil. This is what the Bible says the LAST DAYS will be like—cut throat, fierce, out of control, greedy, boastful, sinfully proud, arrogant, liars, false accusers, ungrateful, trucebreakers, traitors, unholy, without genuine affection, phony, despisers of those who are good, disobedient to parents, blasphemers, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, et cetera. And this is to be expected from an immoral heathen public school generation which kicked God, prayer and Bible out the door in 1962.

It Will Be as it Was in the Days of Noah

Jesus warned that the LAST DAYS will be as it was in the time of Noah, when the flood suddenly came and destroyed the wicked from off the earth.

Matthew 24:36-39, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”

The Word of God teaches us that in the Last Days, people will become “lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God” (2nd Timothy 3:4). We are living in these “perilous times” of pleasure-seekers. One need look no further than the television to find greed, covetous, fornication, murder, lust, false accusers, lies, adulterers, lasciviousness, high-mindedness, arrogant sinful pride, immodestly dressed lewd women, homosexuality, lying propaganda, heathen feminism, abortion, witchcraft, et cetera, et cetera.

The LAST DAYS will be a time of utter wickedness, such as the world has never seen before. As man's technological skills advance, so does his capacity to commit sin and evil, to hurt others. Nearly everything in life is a double-edged sword. Unfortunately, the evil caused by man's inventions these days far outweighs the good. Life was much simpler in the good old days of America past.

American society today has become a large insane asylum, where a man urinated in a jar, placed an upside-down crucifix with Jesus into the jar, and did so with taxpayer money under the pretense of "art." Meanwhile, millions of Americans are without employment. It's just crazy.

We've got elderly people driving to Mexico and Canada by the busloads because our lawmakers and politicians allow the pharmaceutical companies to charge us outrageous amounts of money for necessary medications. It's a big scam to make trillions of dollars for the drug companies and the government officials they lobby to. We do not respect our elderly as we ought to in the United States. They shouldn't have to cross the border to buy inexpensive medications.

Shame on America! It is WORSE today than it was in the time of Noah, because we have been blessed with so much more in the areas of medicine, technology, education and convenience. And yet we spit in God's face by legalizing abortion, homosexuality, booze, dirty dancing, gambling and teaching children the fairy tale of Evolution. Only a blinded fool would claim to believe Evolution.

America is a pleasure-seeking society—eating, dining out, music, romance, pornography, dancing, sports, movies, booze, gambling, cigarette smoking, video games, recreational drugs, videos, television, radio, traveling, hobbies, et cetera. Most people today have no time for God. Moses told the Israelites in Deuteronomy 6:12, “Then beware lest thou forget the LORD...” America forgot God a long time ago. Our love for sin as a nation is unparallel in the world. And yet in some sick, twisted and demented way we still think God is going to bless America??? No way! Why should God bless us? So Americans can abort more children? So Americans can fornicate more in Las Vegas? So Americans can spend billions more on Harry Potter's witchcraft?

Today's youth have no respect nor gratitude for their parents. All they want to do is have fun, party, cruise the streets, hang out at the shopping mall, and expect mom and dad to pay for it. Jesus said that in the LAST DAYS, family members would turn against each other . . .

Matthew 10:36, “And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.”

There is new U.N. legislation in the works that will allow children to prosecute their own parents if they aren't happy with their parent's rules or manner of discipline. Husbands and fathers, in particular, are under attack by the New World Order, because God has designated the man as the head of his home and family. The fastest way to destroy the God-ordained authority in a marriage and home is to pass new laws, as were passed in Daniel's time to prevent the doing of right, or in the case of modern times, to prevent husbands and fathers from exercising their proper authority in the home. Daniel was forbidden to pray, but he did so anyway, and was punished wrongfully.

It is wickedness. Likewise, husbands and fathers today must be extremely careful how they speak to their wives and children, because even yelling at them can land you in jail for verbal threatening and assault. Our grandfathers would have laughed at the notion of such a thing, back when children were properly taught to respect authority, were disciplined for having AN ATTITUDE, and wives reverenced their husbands as the head of the home.

Not so anymore. In sharp contrast to 60-years ago, children today are taught to have a bad attitude, to question everything, to do their own thing, and to accept the homosexual lifestyle as good and wholesome. May God have pity on Christian families who have to live through these trying times of woeful wickedness. Today's society is saturated with demonic influences.

It is a matter of authority. Divorce agreements even specify that the “husband no longer has any authority” over his wife. Divorce is a wife refusal to submit anymore to her husband's AUTHORITY over her. 1st Samuel 15:23 warns, “For rebellion is as the SIN of witchcraft.” The government wants total authority, which means that husbands and fathers must be vilified by the State.

It's interesting and hypocritical that the same government that believes in punishing criminals, inflicting harsh and cruel treatment upon them, even denying many of them needed medications while incarcerated, will turn around and demonize Christian parents for spanking their own children. The government doesn't want parents to be allowed to indoctrinate their children with the Bible, nor to exercise proper physical punishment upon their children when they misbehave; yet the government is eager to punish your children when they break the law.

It's insane! A properly disciplined child is going to become a productive, respective and character member of society. Today's teenagers are without disciple because parents are afraid to discipline them, and the kids are growing up to be punks, pleasure-seekers, criminals and it's the government's fault for hindering.

2nd Peter 3:3-4, “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And 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.”

2nd Timothy 3:1,2,4, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves... lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.”

2nd Timothy 4:3, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.”

Filming in Vancouver: Josh Duhamel, Chow Yun-Fat, Anna Faris, Supernatural, and more

Chow Yun-Fat is one of several Hong Kong stars shooting Project Gutenberg in Vancouver.

In this week’s roundup of what’s shooting in Vancouver, there’s a Hollywood comedy coming our way just as a romcom wraps up. Erstwhile, a Hong Kong blockbuster is landing in town. And on the TV side of things, there’s something Supernatural going on with some Magicians casting some spells as well.

Wondering what’s going on? Read on.

Josh Duhamel

While he’s currently on screens at the moment in Transformers: The Last Knight, Josh Duhamel will make his directorial debut with The Buddy Games, which will shoot in Metro Vancouver from August 10 to 29.

In the comedy, a group of thirtysomethings reunite to play games involving ridiculous physical and mental challenges. Along the way, they’ll learn the true meaning of friendship—while risking their lives.

Duhamel will costar with Nick Swardson and Stephen Farrelly.

Chow Yun-Fat

Meanwhile, some of Hong Kong’s biggest stars are descending upon our town to shoot Project Gutenberg from Thursday (July 13) to July 31.

Directed by Felix Chong (Infernal Affairs), the action blockbuster involves a Hong Kong police team—featuring Catherine Chau (Men With No Shadows) as the lead detective—chasing after a sophisticated counterfeiting operation.

An international affair, the production will also shoot in Hong Kong and Thailand.

The day after that one starts, the romcom remake Overboard will wrap up on Friday (July 14), having started production back on May 23.

Eugenio Derbez

A remake of the 1987 comedy starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, this version stars Anna Faris (The House Bunny) as a single mother who convinces a wealthy Mexican playboy, played by Eugenio Derbez (Instructions Not Included), who suffers amnesia after he falls overboard (hence, the title) that he is her husband.

Eva Longoria

The cast includes Eva Longoria, John Hannah, and Swoosie Kurtz.

The Magicians

Moving on to the home screen, The Magicians starts filming Season 3 on Tuesday (July 11) and continues until December 14.

The cast includes Jason Ralph, Stella Maeve, Arjun Gupta, Hale Appleman, Summer Bishil, Olivia Taylor Dudley, and Jade Tailor.

Jason Ralph stars on The Magicians

Also on the fantasy front, fans of Supernatural will be happy to know that the fantasy-horror series starts in on Season 13 on Wednesday (July 12) and continues until April 19, 2018.

The series had only wrapped up production on Season 12 in April but they’re already getting back into the saddle.
