The War on the Nature of Man: The World vs. God

The War on the Nature of Man: The World vs. God

This war has become a war against God and is permeating even politics. The youthful brain has been brainwashed by Academia into believing that man is basically good. Ironically many of them ignorantly illustrate this by the accomplishments of men and women of faith! The battle ground has therefore been distorted and manipulated by these sorcerers of material holiness and human goodness. To them the material world is either imbued with a divine beauty and perfection, or it is a sacred right for it to have a happy and perfect existence without man’s footprint. They believe that man was born good and is by nature good unless he or she is deceived by religion or other ideology that centers on Jesus Christ or the Christian church. This should give everyone pause, for we can see how the great delusion will easily fall on mankind. We are already seeing its ugly head rise in American politics and the world arena.

Ironically the philosophy of evolution is a sister myth embed in the school systems throughout the world. Together they undermine the concept of sin and depravity of the human soul. Evolution does not care at all about the spirit and soul of any part of creation, for it centers simply on survival of the fittest. Power, control, and strength are at its core. Therefore work and struggle are stepping stones to survival and the material salvation. This is antithetical to what Jesus said in his very first declaration of his ministry: Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (Mat 11:28-30).

Jesus Christ promises to take the yoke of WORK Mentality off your shoulder and the burden of Performance For Acceptance or Control for survival. He is our Salvation. The purpose for His Sacrifice was to defeat sin. Yes, His mission was to transform us so that we might have His Righteousness. By dying with Christ (in a spiritual sense) we are dying to sin and being reborn in His Righteousness. God is real, Jesus Christ is the Son of God or God Incarnate, and Sin makes us all depraved. We are not born good and we are not good in our own right. Christianity is the only religion where God comes down for you, to be with you and have a relationship with you that brings peace- not a feeling of peace but a deep powerful peace based on Truth.

Arise and Shine The LORD is come

Arise, and Shine The LORD is come…. from Isaiah 60:1. I painted this work about 10 years ago as the Lord worked in my Heart during a dark time and I began the painting in that lower right area as you look at the painting. It shows the great Division coming and the Rebellion happening in society as spoken about in Matthew 24 by Jesus himself and also by Paul in 2nd Thessalonians 2:3. Frankly I had no idea where the Holy Spirit was going to lead me in this painting. What you see are The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, hell on the left. The dark Sun and a symbolic Black Rain on the upper right and the Holy Spirit on the upper left and of course Jesus Christ in the middle who is the center of history and the center of creation and of everyone’s life whether they know it or not. What may not be as apparent is the path that leads to Jesus Christ and the other wide path that leads to hell.

Jesus died on the cross to free us from sin and to Deliver us from sin so that we might have life in righteousness…. So that we might be transformed and that is the symbolism in the light around the frame that you can’t see but that lights up at night… He is our Light and our Righteousness and as He said, “I am the door.”
Two other aspects of the painting that are little hard to see is the hand reaching down from heaven sowing the seeds of God’s Word and also Billy Graham in the upper right praying …It is prayer that will help us in this time because the church will go through some of these tribulations and trials ….it will not, however, be the Wrath of God.

The Cosmic Conflict continues as Satan tries to destroy the work and saving Spirit and Power of Jesus Christ.  Satan will fail as this painting Illustrates— Jesus like the Sun Rises to defeat the rebellion, the Anti-Christ, and Satan and his forces. The End of Days is approaching as we witness Iran, Russia, and Turkey join forces, the division in world with Christianity pitted on one side and the rest on the other, the rise of civil rebellion, the birth of the red heifer, and isolation of Israel since the recognition of Jerusalem as Gods city.

The Future of the Church

The world hates Christians as Jesus said it would. But there is another side to the story. As Paul states in both his letter to Timothy and to the Corinthians there are Christians that God is going to give up to Satan because of their sin. In I Timonthy 1:20 Paul turns over Alexander and Hymenaeus to Satan because they gave up the good fight for the Gospel even though they were Christians…Paul says, “I turn them over to Satan to be taught not to blasphemy.” In I Cor.5:5, Paul does the same thing and says, “Hand this man over to Satan, so that his sinful nature may be destroyed.”  Then in the book of I Corinthians 11, Paul, states, “Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy way will be guilty of sin against the body and blood of the Lord….(which most pastors never mentions)…For whoever eats and drinks without recognizing the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself.  This is why many are sick and ill among you, and many have fallen asleep.”

During my early years as a believer God sent me over to Prestonwood Church where I was led to protest the celebration of Halloween, the worship of the pastor Billy Weber, and the actions of some of the leaders. They were rewarding some big donors who were divorcing their wives for “new” younger women. Ironically this is what brought Pastor Billy Weber down after he had affairs with 6 “attractive” women, and I was there in the whirlwind. Yet there were many blessings. I refused all rewards of leadership and eventually ran into Billy at Hillcrest church where he had been restored….and we shook hands in a friendly embrace just months before he died of a brain tumor. Now if Billy had lived, think how it would have hurt today’s church especially in the “Me Too” movement. As it went…Prestonwood moved to Carrollton and is now one of the biggest and strongest Baptist churches in the South.

And this draws attention to the church of today which may not be the church that God expects in this kingdom age drawing towards the End Times. My belief is that God is going to put the weak church of today through many tests and trials until it puts God and the Gospel first in its agenda and motivation. There are many churches including Prestonwood that are afraid to confront the congregation with the Stark Truth of the Word of God so as to humble the proud and stubborn minds. I would dare to guess that most members there and elsewhere still trust in evolution for the logic of their faith and thinking. When you do, you lose the concept of SIN and the need for repentance…after all there was no Garden of Eden, no Adam & Eve and No Original Sin. This is logic that stands on the lies of the world and the sands of time with foolish merchants of the gods of this world. This will continue until the leaders stand up in public for the Lord and for the Truth. Each person needs to recognize the depravity of man and the need for Christ. We are not inherently good-  no indeed, we are in complete and utter need of a Savior….and his name is Jesus Christ

“If we endure we will reign with Him (Jesus Christ), if we are faithless He will remain faithful”…..all those men died as believers. Even though they were temporarily given over to Satan.

New Book

I am in the production stages of a new book that will save readers a lot of money.  This is not a finance book, but is an expose’ and exploration in Dentistry.  The title will probably be:  Dentistry  Xplored: Protecting You, Your Smile, and Your Pocket.   Or substitute the word pocket for wallet. Which one do you like the best.  Leave me a response on this site or on facebook under : Cosmic Crossroad Countdown.

The Purpose is to help others explore the depth of the Universe through the Word of God and common sense observation. Read the exciting book: Cosmic Crossroad Countdown: The Fig Tree & the Prophetic Generation….the Mystery and the Wheels of Time will be revealed by Signs, History, Testimonies, and the Fig Tree Parable that Jesus shared just before His death.

Here is a pic that will be included in the book Dentistry Xposed: This illustrates the detail work that I enjoy doing as both an artist and a dentist. 

The book will reveal truths in the science and art of dentistry.  It will also reveal areas in dentistry that are being compromised by marketing, lies, and misleading information. It is applicable to dentistry throughout the world and I guarantee that this book will save you money.

 

Book Promo: Cosmic Crossroad Countdown

 

Even in a great Wilderness the birds of the air are taken care of.  Great Love invites great tests with New Beginnings in life.  Are you ready for the challenge?  This book brings light into the fog of the mind and heart, and into the obscurity of history and the present.  “Seeing, they do not see,” is a warning for all of us.  Are you and I are being tested by hands beyond our world for our own good?  Why now and why so much turmoil?  Do the answers lie in the mysteries of the “Prophetic Generations” and “Wheels of Time,” or in a mysterious Fig Tree and “Wilderness Experience?”  Do they point to a deeper truth that we need to grasp before it is too late?

Thank you for your interest in this journey as you join me in a quest for answers to many divine footprints and signs in this time and age.  There is a proverb that states, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, acknowledge him in all that you do, and he will make your path straight…”  Are you willing to allow God to speak to you as never before?  Just as God used Daniel and the Bethlehem Star to point to His first coming, does it not make sense that He will use Daniel’s prophecy and the stars to point to His 2nd Coming? Why, in the wilderness, did God command the tribes of Israel to align themselves into 4 groups of 3 tribes with the Levites encamped around the Tabernacle? Was there a purpose to having them align only along the four cardinal points?  During the Mount of Olive discourse on the End of the Age, and right before going to the cross, why did Jesus focus on a mysterious Fig Tree lesson? And why have the answers to these “riddles” alluded the theologian?

Five years ago, a friend and I, started a ministry called, Answers on the Rock, where we share the Gospel and give away free Bibles, Lemonade, Christian books, and answers to tough questions. A new believer asked me to explain the Fig tree lessons, and as I did, God spoke to my heart the answer that my mind had not totally processed. I had to write it down as the Spirit of God motivated me to compose this book.   My unique perspective and path have been that of an open-minded student of science & theology, artist & inventor, doctor/missionary, explorer/educator, and son of a diplomat.  Here is an example of how common-sense military strategy, and not a deep knowledge of theology helped fashion one important answer.  Theologians and Egyptian archaeologists tell us that the commander of the earth’s greatest Empire at that time, Egypt’s Pharaoh, chased the one-to three-million Israelites through the “Reed Lakes” just north of the Red Sea.  First, you cannot drown an entire army in a shallow lake!  But most important, no commander with swift chariots would chase his prey through a muddy lake when all that would be necessary, is to meet them at the other side and slay them there!  The Israelites were on foot and loaded down with their possessions, families, and herds.   So, are you ready for this journey into Truth, on a straight path to a deeper intimacy with God?

It is apparent that our world is twisting and turning in a major spiritual battle that is threatening every sector and landscape of the physical world. Nature, weather, and the earth are being affected.  Just as Jerusalem is the center of controversy and division worldwide, Washington has become the vortex for a storm of hostility.  Has a “Pandora’s box” of righteous judgment and curses been unleashed opening a door to fulfillment of God’s promises?  We are seeing a reversal of fortunes, where the proud and arrogant are being humbled.   Is this connected to the promise Jesus made related to the Fig Tree and “The Last Generation;” and what does the “Great Sign in the Stars” forebode?  Are we part of this Last Generation and do the mysterious “Wheels of Time” point to a COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN?  Is our nation and the world being tested for the sake of the weak, the lost and the persecuted?  This book will investigate the evidence bringing light into many dark areas.

The Crossroad is also made of many amazing “testimonies,” and “mysteries” such as “Lost Time,” America’s “great Solar Eclipse”, “The Dead Sea Scrolls,” and the rebirth of Israel, which are intended to open eyes, and like a shining diamond in a “dark background” to get the attention of the world.  Will we learn from Noah’s time, when  the scoffers perished, or will the wheel of time repeat itself creating drastic “New Beginnings?” Order this book at Barnes & Noble or Amazon: and the E-Book for $4! The book can also be viewed at CosmicCrossroadCountdown.com or ToGodBtheGlory.org: and please leave a review at all sites.

Reviews and News for YOUR EYES

To all of you who have followed me on my writing adventure, and just to keep you up on my life:  I am writing a new book called Dentistry Exposed (with subtitle to be determined – “Helping You Make Healthy Decisions”)
To give you an idea of what others think of my style here are some reviews from COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN: The Fig Tree & the Prophetic Generation
Reviews:
Boomersooner: (with 5 Stars): “A fantastic new book, very insightful and current about Biblical prophecy . Highly recommend it.”
L. Mathis (5 Stars): “This is a very thought provoking book. Read it, it makes you think about the world today and what may be our future.”
Dennis Kavanaugh (DTS graduate, Teacher, Missionary) 4 Stars: “The Cosmic Crossroad Countdown will draw you into the Word of God with a heart to understand more deeply what truths God wants to reveal to all who seek Him. Read it will a Bible next to you.”
Tracey Williams: (5 Stars); “Wow! What an incredible linkage between the astronomical events, history and Bible prophecy! In “Cosmic Crossroad Countdown”, Dr. Hofmann sheds light on the Wheels of Time, and how God’s hand has and is orchestrating the universe’s timeline from the beginning of creation to the present, and into the future – the signs are there for us to see just like Jesus prescribed in the parable of the Fig Tree. (In Mt 24:32-42 Jesus commanded us to know the parable of the Fig Tree.) He commanded us to learn the parable (v 32), then when you see the signs know that His is coming is near (v 33), and, therefore, to watch (v 42). As with the fig leaves signaling summer approaching, this book helps us discern the times and pay close attention to the events making global headlines signaling Christ’s second coming is nigh. A must read for anyone wanting to understand the times in light of Bible prophecy and be ready for His imminent return!”

Eternity: a poem

A Poem for you that I call ETERNITY IN OUR HEART:
A Poem: Eternity
Can you hear to see;
Or see the unheard?
Can you know the unseen;
Or see the unknown?
Are you in the Truth;
Or is the Word in you?
Can you reach the unreachable;
Or feel the invisible?
Have you been born in death;
Or died to an new life?
Has your innocence fallen;
Or re-birthed in His blood?
Has Jesus become your sin
Or rescued you in Righteousness?
Has the King drawn you near;
Or crowned you with glory?
Have you been transformed;
Or secured for eternity?
If “Yes,” Rejoice, again, I say rejoice,
and all heaven’s Angels sing.

The Greatest Battle – Twisted

It is apparent that our world is in a major spiritual battle threatening every sector and landscape. This could easily be the Greatest spiritual Battle of all time. The World and its people are at an epic crossroad where lies and truth are not only colliding, but are also being twisted to confuse the masses and sow discontent and rebellion. These twisted times are threatening the soul of our nation and the family. The fringes of insanity seem to characterize the news and many leaders such as Bishops declaring their power greater than God, or Congresswomen stoking violence against governmental staff, or the daily display of public perversion and disparity. Are we in twilight zone of self-destruction?
Just as Jerusalem has become the center of controversy and division in much of world politics, the administration in Washington has become the vortex for a storm of hostility. I am convinced that Trump is God’s man for this challenging time. As the name implies, God’s “trumpet” is being blown for all nations to know that a supernatural promise is being fulfilled. God’s plan is advancing at a rapid rate and the big question is, will His final promise to the Jews and to the church follow soon? As expected the enemy will try to thwart anything that God does here on earth. The spiritual battle has reached a new stage and will be intensified. The church and its believers must keep in prayer.
 
As I write this there are evil spirits, principalities, and dark forces working to divide our nation and every relationship that we have. This Spirit of evil works by controlling minds and sowing division not only in the political arena, but also in homes, churches, schools, and in every age group, race, and social status. Toxic emotions and thoughts are driving the fake news, the widespread social disorder, and the ever-increasing irrational behavior and violence. Uncompromising anger is being sown by once respected Newscasters, and by others who want to twist the truth to undermine authority in God, Government, and Family. Instead of allaying fear and doubt they are stoking more fear and confusion. Drugs, Sex exploitation, Sex Trafficking, pornography, gambling, gaming, and Hollywood’s poison are only adding fuel to the fire.
 
Satan and his demons are hard at work, and if you know of anyone with a mental illness, keep them in prayer. We are becoming a nation of stimulant driven zombies willing to follow any spirit that numbs us to the truth. Secular television and movies are not helping us. They are only hypnotizing and blinding people to a future demonic visitation. Satan and his minions are using escapism and horror to prepare the world for their invasion of “space”. This space is not outer-space, it is inner-space. It took God just a few weeks to get Israel out of Egypt, but it took 40 years to get the “Egyptian mentality” out of the Israelite.
 
We must keep our leaders and our law enforcement in prayer. This spreading darkness is weakening our nation and our resolve. It is opening us up to both a physical and a spiritual attack of much larger scale and consequences. Keep our armed forces, our missions, and intelligence gathering forces in your prayers. We are already seeing Congressional leaders promoting violence and others promising to disrupt our election process. I believe that the rebellion of Matthew 24 and II Thessalonians 2:3 is about to begin.
 
As described in my book, COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN, a “Pandora’s Box” has been opened. We are seeing the rise and fall of the proud and rebellious. Extreme weather and other events mentioned above are also signs. This is part of His plan and in midst of these trials He will help us spread the Gospel; and one way is to give us encouraging signs. It is no coincidence that the Triple Crown winner was Justify, Justify, and then Justify. This reminds the world that Jesus Christ will win despite the odds. He has justified us through the cross and has defeated both sin and death. His sacrifice for our sin justifies us in the eyes of God. He has given us a picture of His rescue and sacrifice in the real-life drama of the 12 boys in the dark cave. One has already given up his life for the others. From that will come the rescue of the others. The whole world has been captivated by this massive rescue attempt that I predict will Glorify God in more ways than one. The number 12 is significant. In speaking to the flesh-fallen Corinthians, Paul wrote, “We are humans, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.”
 
One of those destructive strongholds is the lie of evolution and another which is interconnected is the lie of “no life in the womb”. The idea of survival of the fittest contradicts everything that is good about the human struggle. They want us to believe that they support the innocent, yet they kill the most innocent. They claim tolerance yet they refuse honest debate, They claim the side of reason, yet good observation and logic proves them wrong. Read the Word and study with prayer the truth so as to understand and destroy those strongholds around you. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Eph. 6:12.
The Truth is the world is against God and that is why we are seeing the broad uplifting of the LIE to counter God’s TRUTH. No city in the world is more deserving to be declared the capital of a nation than Jerusalem to be Israel’s Capital. The land grant and the promise is written in the eternal and supernatural Word of God. That is one important reason why Islam and much of the world is coming against Israel and Trump. Just remember that Alexander the Great, the man who conquered that entire part of the world did NOT conquer Jerusalem. He marched around it and left.
 
Hebrews 4:15-16, “For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
Jesus gave a warning to both the weak Christian and church, Luke 11:22, “But when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away from him all his armor on which he had relied and distributes his plunder.

He Cares…

There are 3 things that God has given us that no one can take away.
Our name
our Spirit
& our time.
Our name was given to us at birth and is more than what someone calls us. Our name is our legal right and gives us a position in society dependent on the government. When we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior we are given a new position, one which is eternal and cannot be altered. In a sense our position is stamped with God’s blood on a “divine passport”. The blood of Jesus Christ justifies us in the eyes of God and we are given a new title which could be summed up as, “Son of the Most High God.” This “passport” entitles us to enter His eternal kingdom of Heaven and to have fellowship with Him forever. We may fail on earth or suffer loss, but God knows our “name” and will hear us in our need. What is so incredible and wonderful about this is that God
knows everything,
sees everything,
and yet is also in us.
Jesus said, “You are in me, and I am in you.”
This could only happen through a power beyond our natural world and our natural thinking and sight. This power is the Spirit. God seals His Spirit in us when we accept or believe in His Name. Yes, his name defines who He is, What He did for us, our position as the adopted son or daughter of the Most High, and guarantees all this with the Holy Spirit that He places in us. Our time on earth is limited and only God knows its length and purpose. He allows us to contribute to His kingdom by the time we spend on this earth and how we spend that time. He loves us so much that he not only wants us to join his Kingdom by trusting in Him, but also wants us to know Him with confidence so that we can share Him with others before it is too late.

This is the main reason why I wrote my book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN: The Fig Tree and the Prophetic Generation. If you read it, it will help you understand the “why” of everything. My desire is to bring Light into dark areas of knowledge and history in order to inspire people to think logically, study God’s Word in a deeper way, and see God for who He is. Jesus said, “Do not let your hearts be troubled, Trust in God; trust also in me.”

SOS Save our Souls (also a page on Facebook to draw the LOST)

The infinite God is beyond our understanding. His obscurity and our desire to connect with him, helps us to know our own corruption. In the end we realize that we can only fully know him if something beyond our own mental capacity helps us. It is as if a door to heaven must open, a door connected to our heart. He purposefully conceals divine truth from us so that we will struggle with our own limitations and sin. He did this in the mystery of prophecy, the power of His Word, in signs given us through history, and in his teaching of parables and other lessons.

The answers lie in His radical invasion of earth in finite time. The Word of God says that at a perfect moment in time, He came to us in human form. He came to remove barriers of time, space, matter, and energy. The all- Powerful God which no man can see and live, became divine flesh for us, so that we could see, touch, and learn from Him. He came so that we might have life in its fullest through faith in Him. He came so that we could have an eternal relationship with Him.

By simply trusting in His name and His resurrection we are delivered from darkness, sin, and that great obscurity. He will transform anyone who repents and turns to him. Once you do, you will not fully understand, but you will know him in a very profound way. Light reveals truth, and things that we cannot fully comprehend in our heart and mind will make sense over time. This growth in knowledge and wisdom is called sanctification.

Our relationship to Him is often compared to a marriage, for as in a marriage, it takes the test of time with both experience and trials to incubate a mature love that deepens the marital bonds. The minute you accept Him as your Savior, your sins are forgiven and you are made righteous in Him. The relationship is sealed, but as in every relationship the real adventure is discovering the wonders beyond our own little world. As new creations in Christ we are like born-again babies learning the newness of His creation and His Truth.

a Supernatural War

There is a great war occurring around us for the minds, souls, and hearts of not only our children but for every human that walks this earth. This is why we have to watch what we do and say and do. Jesus said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you…” (Matthew 13:11). One of those secrets is this—the entire spiritual realm works on authority.  This is just like the kingdoms in fairy tales (they get all their good ideas from the Gospel). “Yes,” all those great stories of supernatural evil being overcome by goodness are stories of Redemption based on the Gospel.

Remember—Adam and Eve were given authority over the earth, to “rule and subdue.” But they forfeited that authority and the devil became the usurping “prince of this world.” This is reality! Satan has done a great job of making people think that this is the fable.  And “NO”, it is not and the sooner you accept this Truth the sooner your mind, soul, and Spirit will be set free. Through the cross Jesus cast the dark prince down, and after his resurrection he said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me” (Matthew 28:18). Authority was given, then lost, and later recovered by Jesus Christ on the Cross.

I just returned from Morocco where I learned that the Jews in Spain were saved by Morocco and it is no coincidence that Morocco is a safe country for Christians and tourists in general. God has blessed this amazing land which is much like Israel. The land varies from sand dunes to beautiful “Swiss like mountains” with snow and a “Swiss” village. Figs, dates, Olive trees, and other common Israeli fruit and vegetables grow in the land. There are large swaths of farmland growing grain and other products.
