Christmas Letter 2016

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND TO ALL – EMMANUEL (God with us)!
This year has run like the script from a Fellini movie – and the circus continues on-and-on! It started off well with a trip to see my brother Ed, the “Holyland Experience”, and the oldest city in America, St. Augustine! Ed who has been both bi-polar and anti-social, made a confession of faith in Jesus Christ as we prayed and shared Truth from God’s Word. We wanted him to join us onward; imagine as a new believer breaking bread with “Jesus” as he encourages you and prays for you, or seeing a miniature 63 AD Jerusalem with a clear picture of where all the events of the NT took place, or experience live the “Sermon on the Mount” and the Spiritual battles fought by Angels and the Saints in spreading the Gospel of Truth! It is an uplifting experience and blends well with the reality of the spiritual battle that we are fighting in the world that we live in! The fact is our nation and the world are at a moral and spiritual crossroad, and anything can happen! So remember to pray for us & the nation!

My “roller coaster” began with the hail storm that struck in March causing over $20,000 of damage to my roof and trim. Insurance paid it all and I came away with some important knowledge to pass on to others concerning the danger of “ridge vents” in multi vaulted homes with insulation that blocks soffit vents! – they do not work! (You can read about this and essays on everything from art to prayer, theology, miracles, and giants: “ToGodBtheGlory.org”. Please write a review on any blog post- I felt more inspired this year than ever and I always appreciate feedback!) Also in the Spirit of Christmas and Thanksgiving seek out the this wonderfully uplifting song (YouTube): “Lord You’re Holy” and the choral music from an autistic 12 year old girl with her backup group of young autistic kids: “www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P5A2QFp0cE&feature=share”

The next adventure went north to Ocean Beach, Delaware, Washington D.C., and to neices wedding. Although we had rain and cold winds (due to a long winter that gave farmers a very bad crop) the wedding day was calm & sunny and the outdoor time in Washington DC was also beautiful: Mt. Vernon, Ford’s theater, and the view from the Washington Monument were all great new experiences! Ocean City has great beaches, restaurants, and an effective Christian mission called “Son Spot”. Soon later I had to visit a physician for an inflamed chronic lesion on my shoulder- which was my first basal cell carcinoma! Then in July we headed to West Virginia and Kentucky to celebrate the opening of the life-sized Noah’s Ark. W. Virginia had suffered some very severe floods just weeks earlier, knocking bridges and isolating whole hotels (we saw the damage as we exited right at that spot to have lunch)! We were greatly blessed by the fact that it did not rain even a drop the day that we had to stand outside for more than 3 hours during the ribbon cutting events! The storm clouds were all around us, and the predictions were for thunderstorms! Both the Holyland and the Ark are worth seeing with the whole family! In September I developed a persistent Bronchitis and the blood test showed high liver enzymes. My internist freaked me out by telling me that I might have hepatitis. I had worked on hepatitis patients in Panama in 1999 and had gotten ill the next day. I had had some exams since that time, but no specific blood tests for hepatitis! I saw my past, present, and future turn dark and was ready to shutter the practice. Many were praying for me and when the 2nd set of blood tests came back two weeks later, he told me there was so sign of hepatitis!

A week later I joined a group of friends and dancers in Cabo San Lucas, Mex.for a great time despite hurricane Newton going right over us – we were in the eye! I was also in the eye of a social storm between two of the girls- & ended up helping to defuse their war! Our organizer arranged dinners with the top restaurants – including a Presidential favorite. Our next venture was to cruise from Montreal to Quebec City then over to PEI, Nova Scotia, Bar Harbor & Boston. In Bar Harbor my oldest brother joined me for a relaxing lunch and a walk! In Boston I drove to a nice resort in the mountains of NH to see the Fall colors! We enjoyed the Flume and the magnificent Mt. Washington with its dramatic colors, snow, wind, and ice! A week later I was in Denver for the ADA meeting and up in the mountains of Vail enjoying its beauty! On that last day I chased a stormy sunset all along the Red Sandstone road steering with my left hand and holding a camera in my right. Then just two days later, back in Dallas while at work talking art to a brother in Christ, I suddenly lost all sensation on that left arm and face. That mini-stroke was a blessing in disguise as it answered a prayer for motivation to control a junk food habit. The ER called it: TIA due to “arterial spasm”.

Another prayer was answered when Dennis Kavanaugh, (who gave up a teaching career at the seminary to be a missionary to Foreign Students) eagerly accepted the call to teach a Bible study at my home. And was it not God’s Grace that this ole dentist found a reddish jawbone of a dinosaur near Christmas time in an ole riverbed soon after asking God to bless me with one fossil -for having made this long trip to N.E. Texas? I had just visited my patient’s desolate scrubland! The bone had been permeated by ferrous oxide- and so looked just like the hundreds of red rocks! (Check out the Post titled “Dinosaur Fossils..”).  Not only that, but nearby was another fossil 4 inches in diameter and round- either a prehistoric seed pod or fruit!  It has a bite mark that exposes the inside – showing a fossilized pulp with bumps- like that of a pomegranate or guava.

God does give us what we ask for! His answer, however, can come in a way we do not expect! He loves us so much that He wants us to grow and trust in Him, not in our normal inclinations, desires, and mindset! Struggles and tests are part of His plan just as it was for Mary & Joseph as they journeyed to Bethlehem and later fled their home for Egypt. Prophecy was fulfilled! The Glory of God was with them just as He had been with their forefathers as they crossed the Red Sea, when they marched around Jericho, and in every turn they took as a people of God trusting in His Promise. The rewards of faith are great and ever flowing! “For it is by Grace through faith that we are saved, it is not of ourselves, it is a gift of God so that no one can boast.” The Christmas season helps us to rejoice in His Glory -the angels, the star of Bethlehem, the conception, and birth of Jesus Christ! So in the spirit of Christmas I decided to go into the Mojave desert and California’s 2nd highest mountain, Mt. San Jacinto, to photograph and study His stars & the beauty of His creation . “The Heavens declare His Majesty and the firmament proclaims His Glory”. He is “God with us”, and remember, “This is how we have come to know love: He laid down His life for us. We should also lay down our lives for each other” 1Jn.3:16. In His Glorious Love, Peter

The Legalistic, Mind Controlling Jehovah Witness Deception

Jehovah Witnesses have been taught to believe that God the Father alone is “Jehovah,” the only true God; that Jesus Christ is Michael the archangel or *a being outside the Person of the Father, called the Word and co-Creator; and that the Holy Spirit is neither God nor a person, but rather God’s impersonal “active force.”
Since the Watchtower Society speaks of “Jesus Christ, whom we understand from the Scriptures to be Michael the archangel” (The Watchtower, February 15, 1979, p. 31), put the JW on the spot and ask him to show you “the Scriptures” that say Jesus is Michael. There are none. The Watchtower Society New World Translation (NWT) mentions Michael five times as: 1) “one of the foremost princes” (Dan. 10:13); 2) “the prince of [Daniel’s] people” (Dan. 10:21); 3) “the great prince who is standing in behalf of the sons of [Daniel’s] people” (Dan. 12:1); 4) “the archangel” who “had a difference with the devil and was disputing about Moses body” but “did not dare to bring a judgment against him in abusive terms” (Jude 9); and     5) a participant in heavenly conflict when “Michael and his angels battled with the dragon” (Rev. 12:7).

Jesus Christ is “Lord of lords and King of kings” (Rev. 17:14, NWT) and is “far above every government and authority and power and lordship and every name named, not only in this system of things, but also in that to come” (Ephesians 1:21, NWT). And, unlike “Michael who did not dare condemn the Devil with insulting words, but said, The Lord rebuke you!” (Jude 9, Today’s English Version), Jesus Christ displayed His authority over the devil when He freely commanded him, “Go away, Satan!” (Matthew 4:10, NWT). In arguing that Jesus is Michael the archangel, the Watchtower Society also points to another verse that does not use the name Michael but says that “the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangels voice and with God’s trumpet…” (1 Thessalonians 4:16, NWT). However, the expression “with an archangels voice” simply means that the archangel, like God’s trumpet, will herald the coming of the Lord, not that the Lord is an archangel.

Scripture clearly teaches the opposite: namely, that the Son of God is superior to the angels. The entire first chapter of Hebrews is devoted to this theme. Have the the JW’s read Hebrews 1-2 aloud with you, and, as you do so, interrupt to point out the sharp contrast between angels and the Son of God. “For to what angel did God ever say, Thou are my Son…? And again, when he brings the first-born into the world, he says, Let all Gods angels worship him” (v. 5 and 6). Remind the JW that angels consistently refuse worship (“Be careful! Do not do that, but worship God,” Revelation 22:8,9) , but the Fathers command concerning the Son is, “Let all Gods angels worship him” (Hebrews 1:6). That is how the Watchtowers own New World Translation read for some 20 years until, in 1970, the Society changed it to read “do obeisance to him” instead of “worship him”–part of their consistent campaign to eliminate from their Bible all references to the deity of Christ. (John 10:36).

The Jehovah’s Witnesses actively teach that the Bible is virtually impossible to understand and that it has to be interpreted through someone who is “anointed” by Holy Spirit. So whatever is written here could change tomorrow if they choose to change the interpretation!  This is much like the many prophecies that they have made that never came true – which makes their founders false prophets! Conveniently enough they have plenty of these “anointed” ones at their headquarters in Brooklyn, NY.  One must follow their legalistic dictates! They teach that God is Jehovah, the Hebrew God of the Old Testament. They teach that He is “one Jehovah” and not part of a trinity.* They teach that Jesus was just a man while on earth. While in heaven He was and is, Michael the Archangel.*
They teach that Jesus isn’t equal to Jehovah and that the two are separate and distinct beings.*
They teach that the Holy Spirit is an impersonal force, much like electricity. This force is used by Jehovah to accomplish His will.*
Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that any belief system or religious teaching other than theirs is part of the “great apostasy” and is “of the devil”.
They teach that Jesus was hung on a “torture stake” or pole and not a cross.
Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that when we die we are completely unconscious. Nothing survives the body except for a memory that Jehovah has of us. If we were good then Jehovah may choose to resurrect us in the “New System”( term to describe paradise).
They teach that when Armageddon comes, all non-Jehovah’s Witnesses will be destroyed by God – and the others will be in a new system of things and paradise.
They teach that taking blood of any type is a violation of God’s laws and is a grave sin. This includes taking blood transfusions.
Jehovah’s Witnesses “disfellowship” members for violations of their laws such as smoking, drinking to excess, fornication, adultery, murder, eating or accepting blood, adopting another faith or attending another church, and disagreeing with the teachings of their leaders.  This is pure oppressive Legalism and deception!
Eating with such a person or even speaking to them is considered a grave sin.
They are duty bound to preach door to door about the impending end of the world in order to avoid being held “blood guilty” by Jehovah at Armageddon. They believe that if they fail to “witness” to others about the need to convert to their faith, they themselves will pay the penalty.

Jehovah Witnesses are obsessed with the notion that objects, books, and television shows can be “demonic” and provide a channel for demons
Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in two classes of Christian. One is of the “earthly class” or the “other sheep”. The other class is a “heavenly class” of a literal number: 144,000 spoken of in Revelation. Only the “anointed” or members of the 144,000 have the power to interpret the scriptures.

They teach that meeting attendance and field service (door to door preaching) is mandatory and that to become “inactive” (missing meetings and failing to report time in field service) is to risk losing Jehovah’s favor and dying at Armageddon.
Jehovah’s Witnesses teach a decidedly works based salvation. While they do accept the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ as a perfect man, they believe that they still must work to prove themselves worthy to Jehovah.
They teach that all holidays are “of the devil” and are steeped in paganism. Anyone celebrating a holiday stands to be “disfellowshipped”.
They teach their followers not to join the military or engage in any other profession that might involve taking a life. Any involvement in politics is strictly forbidden including voting or running for any office. .JW children are strongly discouraged from engaging in any organized sporting activity at school. Associating with anyone not a JW is strongly discouraged.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses have their own version of the scriptures that was put together by a team of translators. The New World Translation is their only approved version. They teach that Christ is not to be worshiped and that only Jehovah (the Father) is deserving of such worship.
They believe in a classical creation using 7,000. Jehovah’s Witnesses do not believe in the doctrine of “hell fire” or the “lake of fire” where Satan, his demons, and all non-redeemed will be cast, and instead teach that “hell” or “hades” is the common grave of mankind.  The life of a JW is oppressive like Islam in that they have to constantly perform or else lose their special privileges and status!

*Their definition of Jesus Christ is evolving with time.  Apparently many do not claim that he is Michael, but they do believe that he is NOT PART OF THE TRINITY AND IS OUTSIDE THE ORIGINAL GODHOOD.  He is the Word created by God from whom the Holy Spirit emanates.  Read up on the Arinius Heresy which led to the early church convening the Council at Nicea.  What they do is take John 1:1-2 and change the meaning of “Word” to be a god! Their translation says “in the beginning was the Word and the Word was a god”.  Since Jesus Christ is the “Word” - it implies that Jesus Christ is “a god”.   Hence Jesus Christ is separate from the Father or Jehovah and is a created being!  The Nicean & Athanasian Creeds disagree with this JW heresy.  The Athanasian Creed is as follows: we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity, neither confounding the persons, nor dividing the substance. For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Spirit. But the godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, is all one, the glory equal, the majesty co-eternal. Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Spirit. The Father uncreated, the Son uncreated, and the Holy Spirit uncreated. The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible, and the Holy Spirit incomprehensible. The Father eternal, the Son eternal, and the Holy Spirit eternal. And yet they are not three eternals, but one Eternal. As also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three uncreated, but one Uncreated, and one Incomprehensible. So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty, and the Holy Spirit Almighty. And yet they are not three almighties, but one Almighty. So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God.

Signs in the Stars of His Coming

Signs in the Stars of His Coming

Yesterday (Jan. 12) saw the appearance of a “Wolf Moon,” the first full moon of the year. In addition to this, the planet Venus was at its brightest in eight years. These two events occurred the evening before Friday the 13th.

The sign of Revelation 12 has many details that are common, but uncommon when all put together. The first part of the sign is the woman clothed with the sun. This happens every year, but it narrows the time down to one month around the autumnal equinox. That woman is represented by Virgo–the virgin. She is clothed by the sun from mid-September to early October. September 23, 2017 meets these requirements.

The next requirement is that the moon must be under the feet of Virgo. With the sun in Virgo and her feet to the east, the moon must be a few days past new moon. Since the Hebrew Calendar is lunar and the Feast of Trumpets (September 21, 2017) is on the new moon, September 23-25 places the moon in the correct position. This happens every year on the Hebrew Calendar as long as the new moon did not occur too early or too late in relation to the equinox, which would put the sun too high or low in Virgo. Here it is perfect. The requirement of the moon and sun narrows it down to a few days of the year. The rest of the parts of the sign must then coincide with this time if we are able to observe this sign.

On September 23, 2017 there are four planets in the vicinity that complete the sign and its ultimate uniqueness. Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter play their parts. Above the head of Virgo is the constellation Leo. In Leo at this time there will be Mars, Venus, and Mercury. With Leo being a constellation of nine principle stars, the three wandering stars make it twelve at this time. Thus the garland of twelve stars is upon the woman. For three planets to be in Leo at this time with all of the other preconditions makes this rare. Combined with the final piece of the picture below is what makes this sign difficult of not nearly impossible to replicate anywhere close to the time in which we live. How rare? A search 150 years before and 150 years after September 23, 2017 produced no results.  But if you go back about 5993 years it does pop up.  Could this be the time that Adam and Eve walked with God in the Garden of Eden?

The final piece of the sign is Jupiter. Jupiter was known by the Jews as the planet of the Messiah. Jupiter enters the sign of Virgo on August 27, 2016, which coincides with a close conjunction of Venus. The next such close conjunction with these two brightest planets is 49 years later. Jupiter itself enters Virgo about every 12 years. The August 27, 2016 conjunction comes exactly 400 days before Yom Kippur 2017. Yom Kippur always ends Teshuvah, which is a 40 day season of repentance. Does Jupiter and Venus mark a ten-fold application needed at that time? Note also that the United States has a unique solar eclipse right at this time that travels like a sash from the upper west to the lower east coast.

Jupiter then spends those 400 days in Virgo. As the sign of Revelation 12 forms on September 23, 2017, Jupiter is in the womb of Virgo and moving back and forth – and is about to be born. Remember, the meaning of Tribulation refers to the period of labor pains before birth. The world is going to go through a period of delivery to result in the Messianic Kingdom. This sign speaks to those coming seven years–the worst in human history. However, we have been warned and God will deliver those who have put their trust in Christ by taking them to heaven before the seven years begins. For those who will miss that opportunity, God’s grace will still abound for those who change & believe that Jesus is the savior of the world, but they will have to endure the Tribulation.

Let’s us go back 1260 days from the sign of Revelation 12 to the day of the first lunar eclipse of the Tetrad of 2014-2015. The eclipse of April 15, 2014 occurred at a specific place in the heavens. As a time marker that points to the sign of Revelation 12, it should also have some significance. This eclipse on Passover 2014 occurred right next to star of Spica in Virgo. Jesus’ own body was sacrificed for us on Passover. He was the Seed of the Woman. He was the ear of grain that must die that life may abound. Spica in Hebrew is Zerah meaning “seed”–the Seed of the Woman. It is the same word as found in the promises of Genesis. It is fitting then that this sign of the lunar eclipse points to the sign of Revelation 12, which speaks of the Messiah’s birth, but also to the necessary second part of Jesus’ coming back to earth.

With exactly 1260 days between the signs, it would seem logical that the day count represented a leg of the Tribulation. But it cannot unless one is to believe that we are in the Tribulation, but we are NOT. However, this sign is straight from Revelation 12.  Placing this sign in context with all of the other signs and calculations presented here, it would seem that this sign is a warning of the Tribulation that will soon begin.

The conclusion on this website is that maybe the Rapture occurs on the Feast of Trumpets 2017, which would be on September 21. If the Tribulation ends on the Day of Atonement 2024, then 2,520 back from that day is November 19, 2017. The sign of Revelation 12 then comes 57 days before the Tribulation. This gap matches the gap between the end of Daniel’s 69 weeks on Palm Sunday and the beginning of the Church on Pentecost.   The sign of Revelation 12 makes sense as a sign warning to us all that the Tribulation is coming, just as depicted in the sign itself with the virgin (Israel) about to go through tribulation. For the Church, our time is then short. The requirements of the sign make it extremely rare making 2017 the only year in which it coincides with the final generation. By default, it must be a sign that precedes the Tribulation and signs should be a warning of what is soon coming. But all too often, the heavenly sign of Revelation 12 is glossed over and not looked at as a actual visible sign that can be observed. It happens in just over three years. It’s time to get ready…10:30 am PDT or equivalent time of 8:30 pm Jerusalem time September 23, 2017.

While perusing through Jupiter’s position among the stars, there was something else that presented itself. On the 9th of Av 2024, Jupiter will be in the sign of Taurus. It will be between the horns. The common Hebrew name for Taurus is Shur, which can mean both coming and ruling or in other words, the coming judge. In short, Taurus represents the coming governor, Jesus Christ, with his congregation (meaning of Pleiades).  Here is an image that will help you to  understand what all this means:

On the day known for Jewish sorrow due to the number of calamities that have fallen on this day, Mars comes into conjunction with Jupiter beteween the horns. Mars, in Hebrew Ma’adim, meaning the Adam, the Red One or the Son of Man. On this day it is believed there will be 60 days left of the Tribulation. This sign looks to speak of that time when Jesus will shortly return to end the Tribulation with the Church accompanying him. No other signs or conjunctions after this at this time come into view. However, there will be the final signs of the stars falling from the sky, and the moon and sun being darkened.

Entering the Holy of Holies: The Last Generation- 2017?

Do not read this unless you have been sanctified and read the book “Revelation” for a Divine Blessing – but, note that anyone who adds to or subtracts from that book will be cursed- for His Word and Forewarning are Just and Holy!

THE LAST GENERATION – 2017:
A Biblical generation can be 40, 50, 70, or 100 years. Forty years seems to be a period for complete testing and preparation; 50 years is a period of release and return; 70 years is a period when prophecy is completed; and 100 years appears to be the longest period for God dealing with Israel. Combinations of these numbers is also significant such as the 40th Jubilee = 2000 years! It is important to note that in 1917 the British issued “The Balfour Declaration”, which was the first official act to allow for the formation of the new nation of Israel.

Since it is clear from the Word of God that the end-time clock is associated with the nation Israel and the city of Jerusalem (Eze. 36-38, Daniel 9), then the years 1917, 1948 and 1967 are very important in determining the end time generation. The question then is when did the end generation begin? Was it in 1917, the first official act by a Gentile nation to give Israel legal right to the holy land; 1948 when Israel was reborn as a nation after 2500 years of exile; or in 1967 when they recaptured Jerusalem and declared it to be the eternal undivided capital of the State Israel? Each of these events appear to be a Divine act. We must keep in mind that the last 7 years of Daniel’s 70th Week are part of the end generation, which ends Gentile domination of Israel, the city of Jerusalem and the world.

Let’s study the 4 time periods above for each of the three possible dates for beginning of the last generation – 1917, 1947/8, and 1967 and see if we can determine the length of the end time generation- Also note that an Event is CONFIRMED BY 2 OR MORE WITNESSES -GOD’S NUMBER OF ACTION IS 3:
1) THE BALFOUR DECLARATION IN 1917. (First Official Act to Give the Jew the right of return to the land). 1917 + 40 year generation = 1957. This scenario will not work because the time has expired for the tribulation and the Second Coming to occur. 1917 + 50 year generation = 1967. This scenario won’t work for the same reasons. 1917 + 70 year generation = 1987. This scenario won’t work also for the same reasons.
1917 + 100 year generation = 2017. This scenario WORKS with the tribulation beginning in 2017
2) 1947/8 REBIRTH OF ISRAEL AS A NATION 1948 + 40 year generation = 1988. Does not work because the time has expired for the tribulation and the 2nd Coming to occur. 1948 + 50 year generation = 1998. Also doesn’t work for the same reasons.
1947/8 + 70 year generation=2017/8. This scenario WORKS with the tribulation beginning in 2017/8 .
1948 + 100 year generation = 2048. This scenario is a possibility with the tribulation beginning in 2027.
3) 1967 The RECAPTURE OF JERUSALEM 1967 + 50 year generation = 2017. This WORKS with the tribulation beginning in 2017..

From these calculations, we have 3 generational periods pointing to an END GENERATION of 2017/18. Here is recap of the 3 Biblical generations and the 3 dates that fulfill prophecy for the nation of Israel:
Using the birth day of the nation Israel in 1947/8, the recapture of Jerusalem in 1967, and the issuing of the Balfour Declaration in 1917, we notice that the 50 for Jubilee = Release, the 70 = prophecy complete, and the 100 = the right of the Jew to return to their homeland- all end at approximately the same time period – 2017/8 (with the tribulation following). In addition the word” Genea” has a meaning related to ‘birth’ of the nation of Israel. It seems logical that the END GENERATION of 100 years will usher in a rebirth of Israel in Christ.

The number 70 is especially associated with Israel’s bondage, captivities, exiles, return and completion of all vision and prophecy. Notice the generational numbers 50, 70, and 100 fit perfectly into this period. I do not think this is a coincidence. If this is the true prophetic scenario, then I believe Daniel’s long awaited 70th Week will occur soon. Note also that Jerusalem was conquered by the Ottoman’s in 1517 and that Empire remained in control for 8 Jubilee’s or 400 years- similar to the Biblical captivity in Egypt. The Turks were conquered by the British Empire in 1917. If we look at the birth of Jesus occurring around 2-3 B.C. and take into account one extra year to compensate for the year “0” we can see that the year 17 AD as being 20 years after the birth of Jesus Christ. So His 1st Coming begins with a prophetic 70 year generation: 20 + 50 = 70 and could also end with a prophetic 70 year generation period: 1947-8 + 70 = 2017-8.  So we have “Release & Return” bracketed by Prophetic generational periods!  And also a side note:  17 AD + 2000 (40X50) = 2017 !

With what is happening in our world today, I cannot see things continuing beyond the 2nd decade of the 2nd Century. On the scene will be the Anti-Christ and the False Prophet, especially as the present apostasy grows in proportion to the true Church, as the Islamist movement grows and threatens Israel, and as the numbers of martyrs increases at such a rapid pace.   Our Hope is in Jesus Christ & in His Redemption. So it is in His Glorious & Holy Name that we hold fast, Peter

“For thus says the high and exalted one who lives forever, My name is holy.” Holy is His name. 

The Woman behind the Trump Victory!

Kellyanne Conway was America’s first female campaign manager and she was the one person who steered the rudderless Trump campaign through a very challenging storm.  She deserves a lot of credit for her patience, humility, wisdom, and steady hand.  As a professional pollster she knew where to guide the campaign and how to encourage and promote Trump.  She was especially effective  with the hostile and unfair media.  She in essence became the voice and soul of the Trump campaign that helped win the hearts of many.

She deserves a major role in the new Administration and may be just the person to help ameliorate many of the divisions and fears in the aftermath of this raucous race.   Her faith, her experience as an effective pollster, and her dedication to her family of 4 kids have helped her survive the waves of dissent and confusion.  She knows how to communicate strength and compassion at the same time and is a very good judge of character and purpose.  Trump was smart in allowing her to take over.  That very fact says a lot about him and his relationship with women!   She deflected a lot of heat that was thrown at Trump!

She understands that an “Ideological Revolution” is taking place that may just save America- at least temporarily.   Not sure how we will deal with the hordes of students that want a free education, a free lunch, and free citizenship – but their revolution has been democratically snubbed by the majority.  I believe that Kellyanne understands this and sees  the University system as needing a serious overhaul -just as much as many other segments and levels of society.  She can best appreciate that the students should be content with the fact that a lot of other things are about to change including job opportunities!
More than anyone she can see the need to motivate a biased media in a way that will inspire them to be reporters of facts and not expressions of liberal idealism. For instance last night the talking heads were making fun of Trump and the Republican platform by attacking the credentials of those who were congratulating him!  We have a media that is so narrow minded that they prefer that Trump be unpopular with foreign leaders!!  President Duarte, who leads the Philippines has turned to China for help because of Obama’s policy of enforcing the UN!   Likewise many of the leaders in Africa have been intimidated by Obama’s scorched earth policy against any government that has laws and/or policies limiting homosexuality and abortion!  The media lies to the American public! Duarte is not the monster that they have made him out to be.  He is fighting Abu Sayyaf (Islamic Terrorism) on one side and the rampant drug trade on the other. The media does not share the important fact that he is opening the public schools to Christian studies and the Gospel!  This fact is true of many of the African nations who are turning to God for hope and to the Chinese for aid instead of America!  Kellyanne is aware of this and will draw attention to them!
This is just the beginning of the “revolution” to win back nations and people who have become disenchanted with the Obama social agenda.  The world has watched as Hollywood, the networks, and the press have tried to reprogram the world’s agendas, policies, and mindset.  We have become an anathema to many God fearing people and now it is time to reset the entire State Department, Defense Department, and every other agency that deals with the UN and the world!  We need smart, talented people like Kellyanne to lead this “revolution of ideas” to push back 8 years of anti-Christian policy.

The Ten Biggest Dental Lies and Controversies

I have been a dentist for 38 years and am putting my license on the line for the Truth.   Like almost every other level of business and government, dentistry has been compromised and the expense of the patient and ethics.  I am going to reveal some the deepest secrets that the public as a whole does not know.

I share this because my own brother and many friends have been compromised. I may die any day but I want this information to be part of my legacy.   I have fought for Truth for many years and have paid the price.   So this site will receive point after point exposing fraud and deceit in my own profession over the next many months.

 

 

The Road to Salvation

I love this photo of a young man contemplating my painting of Isaiah 60:1-2 which is a reflection of Revelation and the 5th Trumpet.

In the painting you have evil and the world rebelling against God as the “stinging locusts are released to torment man” – on one of those 3 fists of rebellion is “Drugs” & “Homosexuality” (this painting was shown in the heart of Oaklawn and prayers were lifted that no one would try to destroy it despite the message). Jesus Christ is in the center representing the “Door” to Salvation with the narrow path leading to Him – the Word.  The wide path leads to Hell on the left with the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse stretching throughout the earth.   Also in the midst of this scene is the Holy Spirit, the prayer of the Saints, and the Glory of God. Notice that the young man seems to be staring right at the “YOU” in yellow.  There is also the hand of God reaching down seeding the earth with “Faith”…for it is by “Grace, through faith that we are saved, it is a free Gift so that no one can boast.”  You are given this choice!

Seek God with all your heart and you will find Him.  Jesus said,  “I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to Father except through me”.  This painting shows that God allows choice for a reason: Because he loves us.  Yet, many chose to refuse His Love and a relationship with him.

So each of us must ask,  “If God loves the world and is all powerful, why would He allow this evil?” Simply put, the answer is this: God is love; God loves mankind; love requires that a choice be made; choice allows for the possible rejection of God’s unilateral love. God, therefore, created humanity with the ability to positively respond to His love—or to consciously reject His offer of love. Unfortunately as Jesus himself said the majority will reject his Love – after all they killed the “Author of Life” and gloated over it!

The simple truth of the Scriptures is inescapable.  God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. ().

God allows for the possibility of evil so that human love may exist.  We are not cosmic robots.  No, God created us with not only DNA as program language, but also with a brain that can process information, a conscience that knows that He and His Law exists, an incredible physical system that cannot be duplicated even with modern science, and a Spirit that can connect with Him in an intimate way!

The Rise of the Great White Male! “THE DEPLORABLES”

The Rise of the Great White Male:  THE DEPLORABLES

The Great White Male has struck fear in the halls of Hollywood, Wall  Street, Fifth Avenue, the Networks, Congress and every progressive institution in the World. This has been the election surprise of 10 lifetimes! Thank you Lord – the miracle of main street has happened!

Billions of dollars and thousands of celebrities did not matter. Hillary outspent Trump 3 to one and Trump had less than a fifth of the volunteers knocking on doors and manning field offices. The great Trump wave sunk her ship. The funeral arrived at the Networks  before all the cameras in one beautiful night!

The Canadian Immigration website has crashed! May it come back up soon so that promises made by those obnoxious celebrities will come true as soon as possible. The hunter from the rust states took the cake and the candles away from the naughty children before they could burn the house down! The man on the white horse has saved the day! To the LGBT and radical left community this seemed more like Moby Dick than the Lone Ranger, as they watched their ship of state sink.  Obama pleaded with America not to let Trump destroy his legacy and the answer came back from those rustic woods of the Rust Belt- “Your Blue Wall has Fallen”.

Trump sacrificed everything.  He did not need the money, nor the fame and this reached the hearts of the American core.  He has never held office and yet, he beat the experts  overturning all the pollsters and pundits!  He outsmarted and outclassed the best! He woke up rustic America by sounding the alarm, and they came out to be counted!  The ideological Revolution begins.

“Not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord”.
Now let us sit down and break bread and make this country great again!

(The day before the election I was sharing with someone how bad the media and 5th Avenue was in not only treating Trump, but also the American white male.  I had just watched a major TV ad for a major car company with a guy sitting near the front gate grilling his food in his long johns. A young, attractive female employee walks up to him and says, “You do not need to camp out the sale is on- the trucks are here!”  He jumps up and runs to the entrance in his long johns and she yells out, “don’t you want to put your pants on?”  and he says,  “No I need them for kindling”…..another really stupid 5th Avenue ad that denigrates the white male- who also appears unshaven and almost like a Neanderthal.)

Fallen! to Rise Again?

I believe that We are being tested and that soon we will be judged.  We will pay and the world will rejoice!  God has lifted up these two candidates who have “unsavory character” to show the world how far “America” has fallen!   We were given so much and now we have squandered it on pleasure and material pursuit.
Trump is the “choas candidate”, but God often picks someone who will stir things up in order to generate change and the reordering of things.  Trump has upturned the politically correct and the political machines guarding Washington D.C.!  This is what Reagan and Lincoln did in their own way.  And so now God is challenging the church to makes its presence known by taking a stand for Truth and change.  If this does not happen quickly and decisively, God will have to follow through with powers beyond our borders, just as He did with Israel.  “For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory,”  Isa. 3:8.  The Risen Jesus Christ proclaims, “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” REV. 2:5.   The Risen Christ is the “Door”  as He created a Way to heaven for us.  Note what He said, ” I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through me”.
THIS WAS WRITTEN BEFORE THE ELECTION:
Many thoughtful people attack Trump on his character and past tweets, yet fail to acknowledge the behavior of Hillary and her family.  At least the Trump family has provided major milestones to both public and private charity and infrastructure- which the media loves to diminish.  They attack Trump’s charity ventures without mentioning that Hillary & Bill used foundation money for Chelsea’s  wedding and other expenses over the last 10 years!  So, yes, Trump has fallen short- but don’t we all?  To attack him is disingenuous and hypocritical.  I know one “Christian” who has been divorced twice who is attacking him on the character issue and is upset because I suggested that she is being hypocritical!? We should look at our own past!   The KEY issues are the policies and the promises put forth for the Administration of their Government:
We need to look at the platform of each candidate and what this means for our nation and our children over the long term.
1) Do you want to increase our population with illegal immigrants and Islamist groups, or do you want to increase the population by stopping the abortion industry? This industry has already terminated 47 million babies!
 2) Do you want more drugs and potential terrorism by having open borders?  This includes criminal elements that love the black market and aid the flow of weapons, drugs, and other goods to your community.  – Or do you want to close the borders so that we can protect our nation from an ever increasing drug problem that feeds crime and overdosing!  
3) Do we want to protect the family unit and our identity as a “Christian nation”? – or do we want to continue down the path that Obama started to by creating an Islamic, globalist nation that follows the laws of the United Nations and not the Laws granted to us by the Constitution?  The Hillary policies will promote the transgender/homosexual agenda to the point that many Christian institutions and business will cease to exist.  One columnist showed that many Christian universities depend on the GI bill to provide students with money.  This will end with policies that tie that money to new employment policies!
4) Do you want Iran and Saudi Arabia as our major allies in the Middle East or do we want Israel and Egypt?   Israel gives us more intelligence and tests our equipment better than any other country- and they have always protected our Western flank in the Middle East.   Israel has also provided us with logistical and air support in very difficult situations.   Egypt upset Obama and Hillary’s plan for overthrowing “dictatorships” and we all know what would have happened if Morsi continued in power!   Their foreign policy destabilized that whole region and led to the overthrow and chaos in Libya- which in turn has created a massive refugee issue.    Also the Obama agenda and directives have helped to antagonize many African “Christian nations” who do not want to adopt homosexuality and nationwide abortion incentives (Obama and Hillary attached American aid to the willingness to change this social climate).
5) Do you want to continue to allow Wall Street and the big banks to control our monetary policy- so that we continue as the world’s biggest debtor nation?  The nations of the world await our great fall – because they not only resent us dictating morality, but also our dictating of monetary policy through our dollar and our debt structure!   We mint billions of dollars every year and expect other countries to “buy our debt” in bonds and derivatives!   Our policy has helped the world become beholden to our whims.   We do suck the resources from other countries and waste them by our excessive and obsessive pursuit of material excess.   We have a huge population that has grown to expect free handouts, free empty calories (junk food which we pawn throughout the world),   free entertainment (here, like in China many people steal property and virtual rights), and cheap thrills and escape (we are the biggest “pleasure drug” users in the world!).  With our perverse perspective we then produce the most “R” and “X” rated entertainment for the world to consume.  Some of this entertainment is pornographic and some is pure horror.  All of this points to a Sodom and Gomorrah of super-Biblical proportions!  Ironically our so called social progressives and environmentalists are some of the biggest abusers of  all of these – including the drugs!  Then we have the gall to insult the poor nations around the world by attacking the core of their identity – the family and their faith in a God of the Bible!  
 Amen and Amen!  Maranatha!

Is the Jeze-Baal Spirit defeated?

Is the Jeze-Baal Spirit Defeated?
The eyes of America have become increasingly wicked, so the days of judgement are fast approaching.. Just as lies beget a liar a wicked leader breeds a wicked government with ever increasing wicked followers. This once proud and noble land has fallen to Baal-peor and its sensual indulgences. For half a century the blind have toyed with this ancient god of child sacrifice and now we are literally and figuratively ready to erect his gate from hell. With the help of white robed pseudo “scientists” and political hacks we will soon erect this door in New York city. How fitting it is that one of the patron “saints” of this “great Babylon” is now running to be leader of our great nation. Some say she is the spirit of Jezebel and her husband Bill the biblical figurehead who cowers at her venom.  I say the problem is much deeper and is not just connected to the Clintons!
For the last 50 years we have been losing the sacred ground and laying the ground work for the powers of darkness to take over. Our land is in a drought of righteousness with our church hamstrung by fear and pride. Many of our Christian leaders share in the worship of the creation vs the Creator. They are afraid to teach the Truth of Creation and God’s spoken Universe with the power of His Promise and Sacrifice. They are cowered by the fear of losing members and the power of Mammon! They fear man more than God, so each goes his or her own way doing what is evil in their own eyes. Even the seminaries are afraid to counter the world system of evolution and the worship of the creature! Now many saints are choosing the world’s idols and darkness over the Light of Life!
America’s Mount Carmel is soon to shake her to the roots. Judgement has already begun. It is no coincidence that throughout our nation “100 year floods” have happened and continue to happen while at the same time drought and fires plague huge areas. Earthquakes in very diverse places shock the complacent and new viruses surprise even the best scientists. Jezebel is rising and ushering in the demons of desire. Conflicts and riots have begun and will only continue to grow in intensity. The walls have fallen and the Trojan horse has been invited to participate. Our enemies and even our friends salivate at our demise. At one time they both respected us and admired our strength! Now we seem to be a moral and spiritual failure! Can we change course?
“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Th. 5:22-24. Are you ready for the Lord’s return and you who are of the “seed” are you ready for Elijah? Seriously the time is at hand and very few really comprehend it! The Middle East is on fire, the voice of the Martyrs cries out in ever increasing numbers, technology is designing anti-hacking gold bracelet tattoos, terror is spreading from continent to continent, nuclear blackmail is increasing in every direction, the United Nations is betraying the national rights of Israel, and the great armies of the world are gathering for battle nearby. Jesus warned, “And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet; For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows” Matt. 24:6-8
Have you forgotten history and how the wicked king Ahab and his even more wicked Queen Jezebel ruled Israel? The king wanted the vineyard of Naboth, but did not know how to get it. So he went to Jezebel who reminded him that he was king. She hired a bunch of scoundrels and paid them money to lie about Naboth accusing him of blasphemy against God. Her scheme set Naboth up for execution by a public stoning.  Our paid media seems to focused on destroying  American values? Are we in the midst of Jezebel-like manipulation and retribution against the “deplorable” church and family? Are we going to continue to follow lies and allow deceivers to dictate truth to our children? This is how Baal worship grew and prevailed and why evolution reigns today.  Hitler used “evolution” to promote his “supreme race” to kill the weak and different!  These are forces of darkness and principalities of evil that take away the sanctity of life from the unborn, and promote the survival of the strong and “beautiful” for the sake of pleasure, sensual desires, and convenience! They are the perfect example of the emerging “Jeze-Baal Spirit” overtaking the world and certain blind leaders.
The mountain top judgement that exposed the evil and failure of the Baal prophets is the same type of spotlight that God is using to expose the idol worship and culture failure of America.  God has raised up two Presidential candidates that in many ways represent the fallen state of America.  We are being tried and tested for our excessive materialism and greed, pride and perversion, and a growing general rebellion towards God.   The whole world is witness to this cultural implosion and the embarrassing election scandals.  We have become a snare to the innocent and gathering place for drugs and drug abusers, sexual experimentation and exploitation, and a gross deviant behavior blended with a toxic malice and corruption permeating every level of society.   God has warned us and we have been found wanting!  The testing is upon us, and the trials with Judgement could come soon if we do not turn to Jesus Christ who is the Door and Our Salvation.  He alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life!

Is Anything Impossible for the LORD?

Is Anything Impossible for the LORD?

That was the Lord’s response to Sarah’s laugh and Abraham’s silence! Are you laughing at God? Are you silent and doubting, or are you waiting and trusting like Abraham was? Do you listen when He responds?  Or have you been so compromised by the world system that you doubt the Truth, and do not follow Him with Faith and Trust?  Do you doubt that God created the Universe?  Think deeply about this; if you do believe in evolution then you have betrayed the Glory of God and the Truth in the Word.  Genesis is His-Story and not a book of poetry!

Right after healing a demon possessed man that the disciples could not help, Jesus said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Here and throughout his ministry Jesus kept emphasizing faith,  the power of true faith, and the power of the Holy Spirit!  With God anything is possible.  God said to Jeremiah,    “  Only moments earlier Jeremiah had said to God, “Ah Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for You“.  Every book in the Bible except for “Ruth” gives God the Glory for creating the Universe! That should tell you how important it is to BELIEVE THAT HE IS THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING!

There Is No Promise Too Hard For God To Fulfill.  In Deuteronomy, Moses said,  “The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee“, and in Numbers he said,  “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”  Paul states, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” and, “I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me.” Jesus Christ says, “And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”  He also says, “Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that s the Father may be glorified in the Son.”  It is clear that with faith and prayer anything is possible according to God’s Will!

In the book of John, Jesus Christ performs 7 miracles to show us who He is and illustrate the Character of God.  The miracles illustrate the Mercy and Forgiveness of God, His Sovereignty over Creation, His Purpose and Gift of Righteousness,  His power and dominion over the supernatural, the fulfillment of Prophecy, and that absolutely nothing is Impossible with God.  Jesus starts out by turning Water into Wine, taking the simplest life-giving molecule, water into one of the most complex molecular formulas!  A good wine takes months even years to develop through careful blending, aging, and storage!  In this “simple” miracle Jesus showed that he is Master over Time, Matter, and Energy! He is the Vine! Next, Jesus as the Good Shepherd, shows his omniscience by healing the official’s son from a long distance away!  His Word commands the healing of the human body through Space, and this time sinful flesh is not a factor!  He protects and keeps his sheep safe despite the thief that comes “to kill, steal and destroy”.

The 3rd miracle is the healing of the paralytic at Bethesda.  This was the first “public” miracle and it was performed in the face of the Sabbath legalism and the anger of the Pharisees.  It shocked all the senses and created waves of impact.  In the end Jesus would declare that “the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath”, and his enemies would use this to trap and execute him!   Jesus was fulfilling a prophecy from Isaiah 35:6, “Then will the lame leap like a deer” -as he again created healthy cells and tissue out of nothing! Soon afterwards Jesus declares, “Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.” Having done this during Passover near the sheep gate, he is presenting himself as the Lamb of God.   The 4th miracle was the feeding of the 5000 in Galilee and of course this miracle has the greatest direct public appeal and impact.  From 5 loaves and 2 fish Jesus fed over 5000 (when you included women and children).  Like water-to-wine Jesus was supernaturally generating  fresh savory consumables for a very large group! As the “Bread of Life” Jesus was not to be consumed by the frenzied hunger of the masses, but instead withdrew to pray.  Jesus said to Satan, “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God“!  The Word of God brings Life!

The 5th Miracle was of course one of the most spectacular as Jesus walked on water and calmed the storm.  And in the midst of all this chaos Jesus reaches out to Peter and encourages him to come to him on the water.  The righteous Jesus offers the Way to him through faith.  And by God’s Grace through faith Peter walked on water.  By God’s Grace the Son presented himself at the right moment to save all the disciples from the storm and from death.  Jesus had command over the waves, the sea, and even gravity!  The 6th miracle was the supernatural creation of eyes, nerves, and sight to a man born blind!  For the first time this man saw the Light and received the Light of the Truth into his heart.   He was so convicted and strengthened that he testified to the Sanhedrin about the miracle!

The final miracle was the resurrection of Lazarus.  This Miracle would more than any other reflect the purpose, plan, and prophecy granted Jesus and spoken to the world by God and the prophets.  Throughout His ministry Jesus spoke about his relationship to the Father and his ultimate death at the hands of the nation. He even said, “I will raise this temple on the 3rd day“, a reference to his own body! Lazarus would die again!  Jesus on the other hand is “The Resurrection and the Life“, and is alive today, and sits at the “right hand of the Father” in heaven! The miracles show that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, the 2nd Person of the Trinity! From the cradle to the Cross, He fulfilled over 300 prophecies to the detail!  As He said, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”  It is very apparent THAT NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE LORD!
