The Amazing Truth

Chapter 2:   What is Truth & Why is it So Important

James 3:17   But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.

JESUS TAUGHT:  Love Does Not Delight in Evil but Rejoices in Truth:

In order to deal with and expose Lies, we must know the Truth. Much like Treasury Department agents who are taught to study the authentic dollar bill in order to spot the counterfeit we must know the Truth in order to know and spot the lie. Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through me.” Jesus Christ himself defines TRUTH. This may be why it is the most controversial verse in the Bible. It also denies the veracity and claims of all other cults and religions. Jesus Christ did what no other human could do, He died for our sins and rose from the dead, as an eternal unblemished SIN OFFERING. Born of a Virgin and Spirit of God through a supernatural transformation, Jesus was fully God and fully Man, the perfect sacrifice. If you place your trust in this offering, you will be eternally forgiven. God will give you a new identity and a new purpose in life. The Resurrection is the most powerful event to ever happen, and God grants us the privilege of partaking in this power. Jesus said that He is the Word and that He alone is the Door by which we can enter His kingdom. Our works and knowledge cannot save us. Throughout His journey with us, Jesus used the Power of His Word to change the world. He quoted Deuteronomy multiple times to defeat Satan.  His Psalms promise that “The instructions of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple”

The Word describing the Life and Ministry of Jesus Christ is the New Testament. His birth, death, and resurrection fulfill over 350 Old Testament prophecies and point to His Return which will then fulfill another 900 or more prophecies. Jesus Christ, the Author of the Christian Faith, sets precise TIME periods and SIGNS in both the New and Old Testaments to prepare the way for the Return. For instance, the Sign of the Cross is in both the Old and New Testament, and both offer Life and Grace to those “bitten by the serpent.” This is an example of God using a Sign or timeless message as a beacon to alert us about His eternal plan to redeem his Creation. He presented this promise in Genesis 3:15 and then fulfilled it in His birth and resurrection, in the birth of the nation of Israel on May 14, 1948, in the Return of Jerusalem in the miracle war of 1967, and by Trump’s declaration to move the American Embassy to Jerusalem on December 6, 2017. Each is a step toward the final battle in Israel where He will defeat Satan and the Anti-Christ. Amazingly each of these events is tied to God’s great prophets, to historical markers such as His Jubilee years and Festivals, and to prophecies given by Jesus in the Gospels and Revelation. Unlike any other book, the Bible lays an accurate picture of history, science, and the future. No other book predicts the future and carries the power of the Cross and Resurrection and so we must remember to read, understand, and share it.

Biblical Signs point to the future and are anchored in the past. They play an integral part in both the Prophecy and Promises made by Jesus Christ. The beautiful Sign of the rainbow is a promise that God will never again flood the entire earth. The Bethlehem Star pointed to the time and place of Christ’s birth. The sign of the Cross in the wilderness was represented by a serpent on a pole and by the pattern of the encampment set when 12 tribes arranged their tents North, South, East, and West in blocks of 3 tribes aligned parallel to the rectangle created by both the Tabernacle and the Levite tents arranged on three sides of the Tabernacle. This forms a perfect cross pattern that is highlighted by the fact that two of the groupings have almost exact numbers of men (forming the arms), compared to Judah’s group with many more (forming the base) and Ephraim’s group with the least. On one side, the East side facing away from Mt. Sinai, Moses and Aaron placed their large tents. The Tabernacle itself was a special part of the sign for it had an outer layer of skin made from the white Scimitar Oryx and an inner layer of ram’s skin that God commanded to be dyed red.

The Scimitar Oryx is extinct in the wild but the Texas Safari ranch near Clifton Texas has managed to preserve the breed. It is easily domesticated and herded for meat, milk, and transportation. As explained in the first book the name in the Jewish dialect describing them evokes a marine animal because they appeared to be jumping like large fish in the desert mirage. Unfortunately, many linguists have made the mistake of thinking that the marine root word indicates that the outer layer was made of porpoise skin or badger skin. This is an example where Academic overreach can fail when science and logic are not considered. The Jews were not fishermen and did not hunt badgers which are one of the most difficult animals in existence to hunt. Many languages like English use descriptive root words such as Tiger shark and Bull shark to describe how the animal behaves or looks even though both are still fish. Change is slow in Academia and in book publishing, which allows these important errors to persist. This is the same type of error that has allowed publishers to place Mt. Sinai in Egypt instead of Arabia where the science of geography and the use of satellite photography clearly indicates where it must be located. Present-day tribal leaders that live in the region also accept that the Holy Mountain of God known as Jabal al-Lawz is in Arabia where their ancient Midianite ancestors lived. Other important factors and markers supporting this location will be discussed later. Even the Saudi government now recognizes the significance of Jabal al-Lawz and has recently allowed tourism in this location. A detailed and accurate picture of the encampment is presented in the CosmicCrossroadCcountdown Trilogy books.

 As the outer layer of the Tabernacle covering stretched and shrunk due to the hot wind and sun, it exposed the red stripes of that inner layer. Isaiah 53:3 states, “By His stripes, we are healed.” The Tabernacle after all was where Jesus Christ dwelt amongst the people in the wilderness as He dispensed His Grace and Love for this nation He was nurturing and protecting. The encampment in the shape of the cross provided 4 safe zones for women, children, and the herd animals to bivouac in safety and for the men to form their marching lines when moving to a new location. It also gave a larger profile on the horizon to discourage enemy attacks and a way to easily out-flank an enemy if they should attack.  It is all explained and illustrated in Dr. Hofmann’s Cosmic Crossroad Countdown Trilogy. It must have been a striking sight from heaven’s view with all the campfires lit.

 And now we must address the only Sign that God calls the GREAT SIGN. This must be a very special sign for it is Chapter 12, the Middle Chapter of the Book of Revelation, a Chapter that is NOT in chronological order. And it is the only sign called the Great Sign in His Word. We know that Chapters 12 and 13 cannot be in chronological order for three important reasons. 1) Chapter 12 speaks of Satan being cast out of heaven permanently which implies that prior to this event he can still accuse the Saints before the throne of God. 2) If he is still in heaven through Chapter 12, how can he be on earth killing the Saints that are shown to be already martyred and in heaven in Chapter 7? Plus, would God rapture the Saints in Chapter 4 while Satan is still in heaven accusing the Saints? This would seem unlikely. 3) In Chapter 13 how can the Anti-Christ be rising out of the sea, a reference to his birth out of the Gentile world, when in Chapter 11 he has already killed the two witnesses? These Chapters are spotlight events that help us orient the Big Picture. They tell a separate yet important story that acts as a warning for us today. They help make us aware of what to look for. For instance, the Anti-Christ will be a Gentile and the Sign of the Woman is a Warning LIGHT that Satan will soon be cast to earth. And therefore, we must WAKE UP, prepare and share the Gospel for God timed the Great Sign to appear in our time to warn us of the Covid attack but also to warn us of the invisible spiritual battle that is presently preparing the stage for the Anti-Christ.

Many teachers of Revelation fail to see this and claim that the Book of Revelation is in perfect Chronological Order and that the Great Sign is of no consequence since it happened as a spiritual event before time began. This is the position of some Southern Baptists and most Amillennialists. This myopic view blinds the Church to God’s purpose for the Sign. It demotes the Sign and gives it a different meaning. Why for instance would God call it a Great Sign if it happened before the creation of man? No one would be alive to be warned by it. This is one reason God motivated the author to write this series of books warning the Church. And by the way, Dr. Hofmann has been blessed and not cursed since he wrote the first book. Many other Christian leaders reply that this type of warning has failed in the past and therefore we should ignore the Signs and take no notice. They want people to feel at ease and comfortable in their pews. This is a big mistake. Satan wants to catch the Church in slumber and does not want it to be alert and of sound mind. The Word states, “Be Alert and of Sound Mind so that you can pray.” The key difference between now and past predictions is that both the nation of Israel and the Sign of Revelation 12 appeared at the perfect moment in time- exactly 70 years apart. Both are key markers for our 70-year prophetic generation as forewarned by Jesus in His Fig Tree Parable given on the Mount of Olives. The “ripened leaves” of the Fig Tree and Ezekiel’s “dry bones” coming to life are both prophecies pointing to the birth of the nation of Israel in 1947-48. Satan has done everything he can to blind the world from recognizing both. As he did with the Pharisees in the time of Jesus Satan seeks to blind the Christian world so that it will not see the time of the Anti-Christ approaching.

God promises a blessing to all who read, hear and understand the book of Revelation. This is one reason why we must study and share this prophetic book. God also warns the reader that anyone who adds or subtracts from the Book of Revelation will be cursed. It is clear that the Great Sign of Revelation 12 points to the future and not the past and that it incorporates Promises declared by God. For instance, Revelation 12 has a foundation that connects to the promise of the birth of the Messiah, the vision that Joseph had of his brothers and parents, and the promise that God made to the Serpent and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The Sign shows a dragon waiting to consume the child about to be born out of the womb of the Woman. As explained in the Cosmic Crossroad Countdown Trilogy this child is both Jesus Christ and the present-day Church. Nine of these 12 lights that adorn the head of the Woman represent the Constellation Leo. Leo the Lion is the starry symbol for the Lion of Judah which is Jesus Christ or the “seed” of the Woman. The brightest of the 9 stars is Regulus which means Royalty. Regulus also has an important connection to the Bethlehem Star as explained in the detailed video at the website: Bethlehemstar.com. In the Virgo constellation is the star named Spica which means Seed.  Above Virgo and Leo is the constellation Drago the Dragon which awaits the birth of the Seed of the Woman.

The other 3 lights pointing to the Sign are wandering lights that move into place at the precise time of the Sign. Amazingly they align themselves perfectly with the bright star Regulus which represents the heart of Leo or the Lion of Judah. The three lights are Mars meaning “Man,” Mercury meaning “Messenger,” and Venus “The Morning Star” which is a title given to Jesus Christ. Each of these including Regulus, meaning Royal, points to the divine Character of Jesus Christ. It is as if God purposefully put an exclamation point or arrow on the Sign to get our attention. Another more amazing feature is the conjunction of the largest planet Jupiter (which protects the earth from asteroids) with Venus as they move together for 400 days across the solar system announcing to the Universe the Return of the King. Together they enter the womb of Virgo, Venus departs, and Jupiter goes into retrograde motion and stays within the womb of Virgo for just over 9 months. As the Sign reaches completion Venus comes into alignment with Mars and Mercury, the moon moves to the feet and the sun rises to Virgo’s shoulder. This makes the Great Sign of the Woman God’s miracle Sign of Revelation 12. Never in history, as revealed by NASA star maps, has this ever happened nor will it ever happen again.

Because the Sign of the Woman points to the future this child must have a connection to not only Jesus Christ but also to the future Church. This is common in Biblical prophecy as many prophetic passages and verses span thousands of years including paragraphs in Chapters 9 and 42 in Isaiah. Isaiah Chapter 42:6-7, transcends thousands of years: “I will take hold of your hand, I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light to the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind…” The “you” address the Jew in Isaiah’s time during their upcoming captivity, but also to the time of Jesus and through to our time as Jews turn to Jesus and become part of the Church. The Church is in Christ and Jesus is in the heart of each Christian. Likewise, the Word tells us Jesus was born a Jew, a member of the tribe of Judah, one of the 12 tribes of the nation of Israel. The 12 stars or lights that adorn the head of the Woman would therefore suggest that the Woman represents the nation of Israel. She, the nation of Israel, births the child Jesus who births the Church through the Holy Spirit in 32-33 AD, and both Israel and the Church are protected by Leo the Lion of Judah which is Jesus Christ. The Lights around the head of “Israel” may also suggest that God has given Israel a special dispensation with greater divine understanding of God’s creation. We have seen that Jews have won over 20% of all Nobel prizes and have turned a small desert nation into a powerhouse economy and great military force. This halo also reminds us that Israel is still important to Prophecy.

Leo is the last constellation in the Mazzaroth or the Jewish version of the Astrological Chart. This is important for this series of Divine Signs was given to Adam and Eve by God as they walked in the Garden and tells the story from the beginning of time to the End of History. The first Astrological Sign is Virgo represented by the Great Sign of the Woman and which has the bright star Spica meaning “Seed.” This reminds us of the Promise God made to the Serpent (who represents Satan or the Dragon) in the Garden of Eden, Genesis 3:15: “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he will crush your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” This consummate battle was fought on the Cross and will culminate when the “seed of the Woman” Jesus Christ defeats the forces of the Anti-Christ and casts him, the False Prophet, and Satan into the Lake of Fire forever. Hence, we see a supernatural connection between the beginning and end of the Bible with the book of Daniel giving more details.

The Sign of Revelation 12 presents the timeless conflict between the Woman Virgo, the Dragon Satan, and the Divine Victor or Lion of Judah which is Jesus Christ. It is a Stary Billboard declaring the soon-to-come event of the Ages. The Sign ties the nation of Israel to the birth of Jesus Christ and to the Church in another way. The Sign reflects Joseph’s dream of the 12 brothers, his mother Rachel and his father Jacob. They all bow down to him, a picture of the eventual deliverance of the nation of Israel when they recognize that Jesus Christ is the Messiah.  When Jesus was born, He was under the threat of Herod who wanted him killed. However, Jesus was never truly vulnerable since He had thousands upon thousands of Angels looking over him and his family. Likewise, when Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, He was not vulnerable in His Glorified body. Thus, the verse in Revelation 12 that uses the word “Rapturo” is not referring to Jesus Christ but to the rapture of the Church. Jesus Christ was not raptured and so this entire passage like many prophetic messages has a dual meaning representing more than the birth of Jesus Christ. It also points to the Church which was birthed through Jesus and has been and will be under the threat of Satan up to the rapture. This is further explained in Chapters 9 and 12 of the Book of Daniel which speaks of the Abomination of Desolation. There are other mysteries to the Sign and the next one is the biggest.

As explained in each of the Cosmic Crossroad Countdown books God says “And there Appeared a Great Sign” suggesting that as a GREAT Sign it would be easy to see. However, the great mystery of the Sign is that even though people wanted to see it, no one has a photo of it. The Sign was invisible for you could not see the stars nor the moon in the daylight. In fact, the author has not found anyone who claims to have seen the complete sign. To be visible the sun had to be low on the horizon because its glare would blind the viewer. The second the sun reached the “shoulder” of the woman the glare was too intense for people to see anything. And being so low on America’s horizon objects, clouds, and smog blocked the view. God knew that this would happen, but He also knew that our astronomers could see it through telescopes. This is much like the scenario with the Bethlehem Star. Ancient astronomers saw it, but the Jews missed it.  Therefore, we can conclude that the message of the Sign was threefold: 1) That being invisible it warns of spiritual blindness in our society as it failed to connect the sign to the Prophecy in Revelation 12.  People were eager to believe the lie but paid little attention to the Truth and warnings in God’s Word; 2) That it points to an invisible attack on the world affecting every layer and sector of society, which was Covid-19;  3) And as part of this invisible attack there would also be a supernatural agent upending society worldwide. This is evidenced by a widespread increase in what God describes as rebellion in Romans Chapter 1 and as lawlessness in Jesus’ discourse on the Mount of Olives.  Since September 23, 2017, the date of the Sign, we have seen widespread increases in suicides, national corruption, mass murders, malicious destruction, lawless intimidation, and perversion sanctified by an immoral society.

Another aspect of supernatural blindness is society’s inability to comprehend the warnings given in the 2017 Cosmic Crossroad Countdown book. These warnings came true. Jesus warned “you see without seeing and hear without hearing” as He quoted the Prophets who spoke it before the destruction of Jerusalem.  Revelation 12 explains that Michael and his angels will defeat Satan and his angels and will cast them from heaven. Jesus states on the Mount of Olives that right after the Abomination of Desolation, Satan and the Anti-Christ will threaten Israel, “the Woman,” forcing her to flee Jerusalem into the Wilderness for 3 and one-half years where Bosra and Petra lie in the State of Jordan.  This is stated in both Revelation 12 and Daniel 12. Therefore, it makes sense that Satan is cast from heaven before the Abomination of Desolation occurs. This may be one important reason why God gives us the Sign of Revelation 12 as a warning. It could be the start of the countdown to the Abomination. Later we will see how the Essene calendar fits in. The further we move along God’s timetable to the Abomination of Desolation the more we see and hear lies permeating society. Is it because Satan is preparing the stage for the Anti-Christ? The highlight of this fall from Truth occurs when Satan and his angels are cast down to earth to help the Anti-Christ and the False Prophet mastermind and carry out their takeover of the One-world system.

A large part of today’s Church has gradually fallen in bed with the Lie. More than half of Christian churches teach or allow for the theory of evolution to explain the creation of the Universe. The theory of Evolution is accepted in many Christian circles even though every book in the Bible except the book of Ruth teaches that God is the Creator! More than half the church is not looking forward to a literal millennium and the return of Jesus to rapture in his church. They believe that the church will build the kingdom and that Israel has lost its blessings due to disobedience. Therefore, they believe the Church will receive the Promises and Israel plays no part in prophecy. It is apparent that this Church has not taken God’s Word literally and is not the Church of Philadelphia described in Revelation. It is more like the Church of Laodicea, a church that says, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing” (3:17). But Jesus responds that it is lukewarm and “is wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked” (3:17).

Here are clear verses that support the fact that God will keep His promise to Israel. God said that he would gather his people from nations around the world and bring them back to the Promised land. He said that the nation would come alive like dry bones putting on flesh, Ezekiel 37:21, “Then say to them, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and bring them to their own land.” Amos 9:14-15, “I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel, and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit. I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be uprooted out of the land that I have given them,” says the Lord your God. In Ezekiel 37:11-12, God said to Ezekiel, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are indeed cut off.’ Therefore prophesy, and say to them, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will open your graves and raise you from your graves, O my people. And I will bring you into the land of Israel.” Isaiah 11:12, states, “He will raise a signal for the nations and will assemble the banished of Israel and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.” These are just a few of the verses that define God’s permanent intention for the nation of Israel. If He cannot keep that promise, how can we be certain that He will keep any promise to us? But the promise was kept and continues to be fulfilled as the nation was born in 1948. Israel is the most powerful power in the region and is very productive. The proper interpretation of God’s Word is key to understanding and having the power of His Word in your life.

Another big problem with the interpretation of God’s Word and prophecy is explained using good hermeneutics. One must consider the context of the whole scripture, especially verses connecting the same thought. This would also have to include the history at the time and the culture when the event happens. God knows past, present, and future, so a solar eclipse in Jerusalem in the time of Jesus would be a wonder but not so much in our time. Recently a major prophecy “expert” declared in a sermon on YouTube that Joel 2:31 just refers to a solar and lunar eclipse. Yet the verse prior states, “I will show you wonders in the heavens and on earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” The context seems to imply that “blood and fire” cause the dark sun and blood moon. It appears that God wants us to know that this is an event occurring on earth that will affect the appearance of those heavenly lights. The next verse implies that it is a catastrophic event for it states, “And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.” This event may coincide with the blood moon and sackcloth sun in Revelation 6:12 implying that the Day of the Lord happens as the leaders of the world hide in caves. They hide and call out to God during a great earthquake and “the stars in the sky fell to earth… and the sky receded like a scroll and every mountain and island was moved out of their place.” Further examples of good hermeneutics are illustrated in the first 3 books.

We know that Satan aims to confuse us and that he will use counterfeits as he did with the Great Sign. The world was distracted by lies coming from a dark element that claimed God’s Great Sign pointed to the destruction of the earth by Planet X or Nibiru.  To this day some pastors link the Sign to this lie. Satan succeeded because pastors failed to support the Biblical veracity of God’s Sign. They have also failed to defend Creationism and contend with the failed theories of evolution.  Likewise, certain governments like Russia and China are successfully lying to their people so that they can destroy the lives of countless people around the world. Russia’s criminality will lead to the starvation of millions in Africa and elsewhere, and China’s actions are a crime against humanity.

In America a large criminal element is being released on society by liberal prosecutors and a liberal bail system. Open borders also invite criminal trafficking of people and drugs.  Designer drugs made in China like fentanyl are killing thousands. The Political machine then uses the crimes committed by these evil elements to force legislation against the purchase or use of weapons. Instead of defeating the sources of crime they are trying to disarm a victimized society. Are certain leaders allowing China access to our oil and other products due to secret deals made in the Obama years? Could these powerbrokers be trying to disarm the world so that a One-World system of government can take control? Their purpose is to wipe out nationalism, the small business, Christian influence, and Israel. Good is being turned to evil and evil to good.  All of this has happened since the Sign appeared and is connected to the invisible attack discussed earlier.  As explained in the first book the Sign itself was a warning of an invisible attack that would affect every level and sector of society. Some of these attacks came in the form of the pandemic and the circumstances that have evolved due to the panic caused by the pandemic: this includes ballot harvesting and other invisible measures to affect the vote in America’s last election which then inspired Putin to attack Ukraine.  This Russian invasion is now affecting food and oil supplies around the world and will probably lead to massive starvation in places like Africa.  This and the invisible war are escalating a path to the 7-year Tribulation.

The Countdown to War & the Beast

The Cosmic Crossroad Countdown connects Prophecy and History to the 3 most controversial books of the Bible: Genesis, Daniel, and Revelation. It is setting the stage for the Anti-Christ and leading to the Horses of the Apocalypse. God is sending the nations of the world a warning in the wake of the Sign of Revelation 12. All of this is connected to the Trump impeachment trial, the corrupt elections, an invisible war, and the dark pyramid that is led by Satan and his legions. Europe especially is being presented with a major moral test that it will soon have to address- to let a dictator exterminate a nation’s population or to take military action?
I do believe that God is giving a divine message to America, Russia, Europe, Israel, and the whole world. The world needs to understand that it is no coincidence that Ukraine played a big part in pre-election events in the 2016 election, in the impeachment trial, and in Biden’s wealth and win in the 2000 election. That criminality helped a corrupt party win the election in the world’s most sophisticated and powerful nation It shook the world. It is ironic that the Lies told in that process have been matched by Putin’s lies. The corruption in America’s election has also been matched by Putin’s corruption in Ukraine and in Russia. The false-flag concept that the Administration is accusing Putin of –was perfected by the Democratic party in the last election–so you remember how many times they called conservatives Racists and Nazis?
How interesting that Ukraine is so tied to America’s fall from Grace and that Ukraine has a strong leader that the world sees as a hero. Zelensky is a Jew and a man of integrity placed in the middle of this storm— a perfect storm of corruption, warmongering, greed, suffering, helplessness, and media coverage. The world is watching this Apocalyptic and thus semi-prophetic event. It is “almost prophetic” in the sense that few see its true prophetic connection. IT IS NO coincidence that Ukraine is led by a Jew and that it lies between Israel, Russia, and Europe. This is the perfect spark to begin the Prophetic Countdown to the staging of both the Anti-Christ and the 10 horned-beast of Revelation. This is the location from which the Apocalyptic White Horse with its Lies and False Christ cult has risen – Ukraine is a nation that has had a fast-growing and large population of religious cults of False Christs. It has had one of the largest Jehovah’s Witness churches in Europe.
Note this: We are in a very special time- beginning in 2017 (a year in which we had so many disasters that it broke all FEMA records – with over $450 billion in cost to our nation). The invisible war took a great toll not only in America but also throughout the world. Every level and sector of society was affected. Darkness and idolatry were pushed back – yet many lives ended or were upended. Many Jews fled New York to Israel and likewise, the Ukraine chaos forced many Jews to flee to Israel. The whole world is being shaken again – this time by bloodshed. Entire cities are being wiped out with wounded in hospitals and children in theaters. Is this a sign of the 2nd Horse – the Red Horse of the Apocalypse? Ukraine is the breadbasket of Europe and for that matter Russia. Will this conflagration lead to a much more severe bartering and inflation that ushers in the 3rd horse of the Apocalypse? Or does all of this foreshadow the Coming 6 Seals of Revelation?
After all the Great Sign of Revelation 12 has been revealed for all to comprehend and to take heed—YET the church and the world failed to accept it just as the elite intellectuals and the Jews failed to see their Bethlehem Star. That divine cosmic Sign set a countdown to a divine event that would not only affect mankind eternally but would also change the way we measure and count historical time. It also started the countdown for Daniel’s 70th-week prophecy.  The Sign of Revelation 12 along with the birth of Israel reset that countdown and anchored the divine footsteps in our modern-day History. We are witnessing “a time such as this” that will change everything we know.
And I hate to burst people’s bubble- we will never Christianize America but we can share the Gospel with as many people as possible. Some believe that in the process we can delay God’s judgment.  God did say that He would discipline Israel when they strayed away and disobeyed Him – and history showed that He did. The question is, did He delay judgment at any time? He did give King Hezekiah 15 extra years to inspire the Jewish nation to defeat Judah’s enemies. Was God’s timetable kept despite the failures of the Jewish nation? Some would argue that Ancient Israel had the opportunity to accept the Son of God and thus welcome in the Kingdom of God on earth. But when they rejected their Savior they were given curses instead of the blessings as promised by God – just as Moses and other prophets had warned.
The nation of Israel was driven from the Promised land during both the Babylonian captivity and after the Roman destruction of the Temple and many died in the process of fighting or fleeing. The leaders and most of the people of these later generations forgot the prosperity that God had blessed the early nation with as He parted the Red Sea and saved them from starvation, the harsh elements, and their enemies. God had helped them through every trial during the 40-year wilderness experience and guided them to the Promised Land. God gave them victory after victory in this enemy-held land. He then prospered the land and rewarded them with safe cities, prosperous farmlands, prophets to guide them, and a spiritual purpose & hope.
Likewise, early Americans were rescued from persecution and over generations have forgotten the blessings and prosperity given to them by God as it grew through the wilderness becoming a promised land of hope and refuge for millions. Now America has lost its way and is rejecting the God of its forefathers. We have forgotten the blessings of the past — the way God worked in our history and in the daily lives of those struggling to survive. We have taken God for granted and millions have turned to outright rebellion against God and against His Word. So we should not be surprised by the progression of events that worked to humble us including the selection and election of inept leaders (this also happened in Israel.) The next stage in Israel’s history was a war that brought its destruction and captivity.
What most do not understand is there is also an invisible war going on that will fulfill prophecy. Covid was just a small part of the manifestation of the Invisible War that is preparing the stage for the Anti-Christ and the formation of the 10-horned Beast. At present Angels are protecting leaders and even pilots and others in Ukraine as Putin’s forces are held back and pushed back. Part of this is due to the prayer of the saints around the world. All of this was forwarned in the Sign of Revelation12 and is explained in the book Cosmic Crossroad Countdown—the series.
Already many leaders throughout the world are asking, “Are we going to let this massacre of innocent civilians go on? We must act before more die.” This could initiate a much bigger war that will draw Nato and America into a war with both Russia and China. Are you ready? Have you put your faith in Jesus Christ? This is a special 30 days as we approach Easter and Passover. Keep in prayer and share the Gospel.

The Resurrection & the GREAT SIGN

THE REDEMPTIVE SIGN OF OUR TIME

HIS Mighty Love & Amazing Grace on Resurrection Day: He is the RESURRECTION & THE LIFE.  YES, He can be Your Life– Transforming your every thought, dream, hope, fear and purpose.

This year my Resurrection letter will help you understand the Great Sign of Revelation 12 and its connection to the Cross and to us today. It will help you understand why we are under “invisible” attacks and how the book Cosmic Crossroad Countdown: The Fig Tree and Prophetic Generation reveals evidence to show the GREAT Sign is indeed about the present and the future and not just the past as all the prophecy teachings are saying. Why has the Great Sign been such an enigma and why is it located in the middle of the only book in the Bible that promises blessings to anyone who reads, shares it and understands it.

Know that at the time of the sign there was a smokescreen of falsehoods and conspiracy theories that either Planet X or Nibiru was going to crash into our planet. Ironically these obvious lies (which a lot of people believed) give more credence to the veracity of the Great Sign and underscores the fact that this sign was indeed from God.  Satan always tries to counterfeit or block God’s message. Each of us must understand that there are REAL forces, unseen forces, that oppose everything God does. For instance, when a major ministry built the Hope Complex in Plano, what went up next door?  A huge Mosque Complex was erected.  As you read this post you will see that the Sign happened as Revelation 12 promised, but with even more fanfare and evidence of God’s hand guiding it.  This Sign has many layers to it as you will see in this essay.  

Here is the Great Sign of Revelation 12: The Woman and the Dragon:

. And there appeared a great sign in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 

. And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. . And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. . And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

The Sign of Revelation 12 is not just about the past as most pastors teach. It is true that it refers to the past at 3 levels, but THIS DOES NOT TAKE AWAY FROM THE FACT THAT IT is primarily about the present and the future. This prophetic sign directly connects to Genesis 3:15. Here God speaks to the serpent while Eve is standing nearby, “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.” This was partially fulfilled at the Cross when Satan “bruised the heel of Jesus Christ” but the second part, the “crushing of the head of the seed of the Serpent,” has not yet happened. Satan’s days were numbered, and he was defeated but not crushed.  IN First Peter Satan is called a roaring lion which implies that his head or body is not crushed.  Note that because it deals with the present–we see the “red dragon” now and to understand it go to the end of this thesis.

At the Cross Jesus paid the price for our sins, but He did not crush the head of Satan nor his demons because the plan was not yet complete. Satan will be totally defeated after Jesus returns in His 2nd Coming. The 2nd way this especially important prophecy connects to the past is to the family of Jacob. This references Joseph’s dream of 11 stars that bow down to him. Some say that he is the twelfth star and thus the constellation Virgo represents Rachel and the constellation Leo is Jacob. Again, this is NOT the focus of the sign, but is part of the foundation to let the reader know that it includes both Israel and the Church. A Sign on the road is anchored to the ground (the past) but it tells you about something to come; the Sign points to the Future NOT the Past!  A 3rd connection is to the birth of Jesus Christ, Herod the Great, and the family fleeing to Egypt. These connections to the past support the message as they are unfolded in the present with a special prophetic completion in the near or distant FUTURE.  So, I ask you why do 99% of the prophetic speakers & pastors refer to this sign as connected to the PAST only?

The ancient Egyptians believed that the sun, moon, and stars in a certain pattern provided a pathway to the supernatural and to the “Field of Reeds” where Osiris ruled. This path was embodied by the great Sphinx built in 2500 BC, which had the body of a lion and the head of a woman (the Virgin of Virgo). Like all the ancient civilizations they had knowledge from Seth, Noah and the early elders who passed on the message of the Creation story and the Promise given by God himself. This message was written in the heavenly lights and given to Adam and Eve. The story was told through the constellations and was then passed on from one generation to another.  The message begins with Virgo or Eve and ends with the defeat and destruction of the red dragon by the Conqueror or Leo the Lion of Judah.  From the Bible we learn that Leo the Lion of Judah is Jesus Christ 

The Sign of Revelation 12 involves both Virgo and Leo along with the Sun, Moon, and 4 important planets. The planets are Jupiter which spends over 9 months in the womb of Virgo, Venus which forms a conjunction with Jupiter and enters the womb but stays only a short time. It then links up with both Mars and Mercury and forms a direct line with the star Regulus (which means Royalty and is the “heart” of Leo the Lion). Here you have all the characterizations of Jesus Christ: Venus the morning Star represents the Priesthood, Mercury depicts Him as the Word or messenger, and Mars as the Perfect Man.  These planets and star are aligned in a perfect line which is more than amazing. It is important to note that the main star in Virgo is Spica which means SEED and it is also in a general alignment with those 4 other heavenly lights.  Jupiter represents the authority and power of Jesus Christ which He gave to the church.  NOTE that the important KEY heavenly lights are now all in one place at one moment in time.  And REMEMBER that it was a similar star and planet array that led the “Kings from the East” to travel across nations to deliver gold, myrrh, and frankincense to a “King” they knew little about. 

Why the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus?  These two planets represent the Authority of God declaring Jesus Christ as The High Priest who would pay for our sins.  The length of time from the beginning of the conjunction to the Day of Atonement is exactly 400 days.  Is God telling us that His Full Power and Authority to transform or save mankind through Redemption is being displayed in the stars and planets?  Only Jesus Christ, the eternal High Priest, could pay our debt eternally.  Jesus said, “It is Finished.”  He paid our Sin Debt in Full.  God has passed this authority and power on to the Church through the Holy Spirit and that is why Jupiter awaits in the “womb” to be raptured or taken away before the Red Dragon.

It is no coincidence that this sign appears in the same Chapter as the verse that portrays the Dragon’s demise: v. 11, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony….v.13, And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman who brought forth the man child….v. 17, And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” At first glance the woman is Israel, but she is the Jewish remnant only, or those Jews who trust in Jesus Christ. So, there is much more to this Sign than what the past presents. And who really is the child? The passage states that the child is “raptured” or taken away. Jesus Christ was NOT taken away. He was Resurrected. He is the Resurrection and the Life who saves those that follow HIM.

We the church are raptured. So, the child is NOT just Jesus Christ even though the reference does picture the birth. At Present the Church is Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ is the Church. So, the Sign pictures the Church being birthed in the sight of the Red Dragon which desires to destroy it. This happened when the early church was formed and continues til now and into the future. Satan is doing all he can to prosecute, persecute and destroy the Church. He did not & will not have any power or control over Jesus Christ. Note that from the beginning of creation when God spoke to him in the Garden of Eden, Satan was defeated. From God’s timeless perspective the moment God spoke to him Satan was crushed.  Likewise, Jesus Christ, the Lion of Judah was declared eternally Triumphant in that same conversation.  

So, what is the Sign Saying? It embodies Israel, the saved remnant, the Church, Jesus Christ and the Red Dragon or Satan. Cosmic Crossroad Countdown goes into detail explaining why the SIGN is not what people think. It was not a Sign to be seen like the Bethlehem Star.  That amazing Sign represented and pointed to His Birth.  But this Great Sign points to His Message and Promise.  It is both a Blessing and a Warning of things to come. It is like a RED LIGHT telling us to stop & contemplate our situation, repent and then move with renewed confidence in the right direction! It does point to the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ, the persecution of the church, and the rapture. In one way it is like a portal into Past, Present and Future all at once reminding us that God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and the Church are in a struggle against evil, but through the death & Resurrection of Jesus Christ, have won the war from the beginning of time.

God wants the world to know that there is a blessing in understanding the book of Revelation and the Great Sign. Evil cannot win and Revelation is the only book that starts and ends with this unique promise of blessings;  right in the center of it all is the Great Sign with its special Promise for all those who unwind the truth or who are willing to listen. The 3rd verse of Revelation states, “Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy….” To hear means more than just letting the words fly past your head.  It is a Very Important word in Hebrew. It means “Shema” and the one phrase Jews were taught to repeat throughout the ages is the “Great Shema.” Shema implies that we respond to what we hear and obey! That may be why the book of Hebrews states, “Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” God wants us to know and respond to the Great Sign. For the Great Sign explains who Jesus Christ is and how He defeats the Serpent.  We will also see that He is the Promised seed of Abraham & David who will bless the earth and all its inhabitants.

There is another angle to the Sign. It is connected to the Jubilee 50-year period which ended 7 days after the Great Sign of 2017. The Jubilee was especially important as it marked a time in Jewish history for which all land was to be returned to the original owner and debts were to be forgiven.  This only happened every 50 years. It ended on Sept. 29-30 or the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, the yearly Day of National Repentance.   So, the Sign is linked to this time of giving up, surrender, and return of what belongs to God.  This special Jubilee connects to the Jubilee of 1967 when Jerusalem was reclaimed by Israel.  And prior to it connects to the Jubilee of 1917 when the Ottoman Empire was defeated, and the Balfour Agreement stated Israel’s right of return.  God’s footprint is clearly all over history.  The book illustrates this in both words and in easy to understand diagrams.

In Jewish tradition the next few days would mark New Beginnings and the ingathering of Family, thoughts, promises and implements to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles. This was and still is a special time to tabernacle with God under the stars – to remind us that God desires that we find time to be with Him to celebrate His provision and His creation including the message in the heavenly lights. The Great Sign is thus linked to this whole period of introspection and celebration. And since it falls in the middle of the Feast of Trumpets, this Great Sign could be described as the Trumpet call to visit one’s sins, to seek forgiveness, and know God in repentance and obedience before it is too late.

The Feast of Trumpets and a 40-day period prior to Yom Kippur called Teshuva had been a call to return to God, a call to remembrance, confession, and repentance.  Teshuva included the epic American solar eclipse on August 21, 2017, which in my heart forewarned of storms to hit America as stated in the book. God put this warning in my heart early in June of that year and we rushed to put the book out, but a major misprint on the first page that placed a large capital Z next to the name of Jesus forced us to reprint (it looked like a sabotage).  Also, one extremely late evening as I was finishing out a key chapter the number 666 came up in blue right in the center of the screen. I cut out the paragraph and made a copy saving the document from the virus. Weeks after the Solar Eclipse we had 3 major hurricanes, one here in Texas that devastated the coast and Houston, one in Florida that amazingly turned landward near Ft. Meyers and headed towards my brother’s little house yet it did not even knock out his electricity.  Dade city nearby was struck and lost all its power!

The 3rd hurricane hit Puerto Rico.  All these storms were part of the warning signs connected to the Solar Eclipse.  They were a call for America to repent.  Many other significant stellar and lunar events were also connected to this period including the 4 Blood moons of 2014-2015. As mentioned earlier the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus which entered the “womb of Virgo” to begin the Sign happened exactly 400 days prior to the Day of Atonement. Everything was falling into place, at a Very Significant Time for a Very Important Great Sign from God that was aimed at a sleeping world and complacent church.  And like the Pharisees of old, a mostly myopic church leadership did not see the sign, nor did it care that God was going to give a Sign.  Jesus warned about this when he said, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red;’ and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening. Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.” Matt. 16:2-3

It is no coincidence that this GREAT Sign appears right in the middle of the book of Revelation right before the “beast rises from the sea.” Thus, it may portend or foreshadow the beginning of Daniel’s 70th week of “Time, Times, Half-Time.” Jesus warns us in Matt. 24, that many false Christs will come in His Name, that wars and rumors of wars will occur, and that there will be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in diverse places.  Satan offers a false light with false desires and thinking that subjugates billions to darkness and to the lies of a world system. Does this Sign warn us of an increase in number and intensity of these invisible attacks that are aimed at the hearts and minds of both believer and non-believer?  Is God trying to warn the church?  Will this Sign be like a Pandora’s Box of evil and Satanic attack which will increase in intensity?  Will it be a time of rebellion where men’s hearts turn against God with greater ferocity? Will we see earthquakes and volcanic activity of increasing intensity in diverse places?  This is what Jesus called, “The beginning of sorrows or the birth pains.”

Cosmic Crossroad Countdown states the Sign will usher in many New Beginnings most of which will affect the world as has the Coronavirus. There will be sadness, but during this will come hope and changes that give people a 2nd chance and an opportunity to repent.  Presently we are seeing a worldwide persecution of Christians which has increased in intensity since the Sign.  There is a new intensity in the world-wide attack on the family, the moral and spiritual nature of man and the natural order of mankind (the rebellion of Romans Chapter one). This attack is against God’s natural order that preserves men as men and women as women, the unity and integrity of the Church, the Truth as a embodied by Jesus Christ & the Word, the innocence of babies, and the Power, Gifts and Fruits of the Spirit.  This is an invisible attack on the heart and minds of each child and adult.  It is a dark spiritual shadow and therefore a foreshadowing of the “Great Judgment to Come in during the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse.”  Unlike Zechariah’s four chariots these four horses will move quickly bringing severe judgment to the entire earth. 

Chariots on the other hand, move slower and with a great tension between horses and wheels spreading both noise and fear. Fear and rumbling tend to make us look up to God.  These chariots will appear first and may already be on the move. They also represent both time and authority, a forewarning that time has come for God to begin His Preparation for purification of the earth.  The number 400 signifies God’s Holy Preparation and Purification.  For 400 years God purified the land of Israel under the Ottoman Empire prior to nation building and for 400 years He prepared the Kings of Israel and the nation for captivity.  For 400 years God kept his people under Egyptian captivity before deliverance. 

After the Blood moons and beginning with the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus, God allowed ISIS to scourge the earth for 400 days.  The fact is the destruction of the Palmyra Gate of Baal Worship happened right at this time in late August of 2016.  Jupiter and Venus joined and made their move across the heavens to reside in the womb of Virgo.  Then America’s Great Solar Eclipse happened, and Teshuva began (a time of repentance to make changes).  Thus, began the last 40 days which would end at the Day of Atonement.  All this concluded God’s 50-year appointed time of Restoration and the Purification, the Last Jubilee which ended at Rosh Hashanah (the day before the Great Sign appeared).  This would be the most unique Jubilee of all.  It would also usher in God’s appointment of Trump who would restore Jerusalem to its original owner, Israel. The legal status of God’s city Jerusalem would be certified by the world system.

The character of the Dragon is linked to the worship of both the creature and the world’s idols.  He demands a sacrifice of the innocent.  Under his directive millions of babies have been killed.  To blind the masses, he has also established a work-based Babylonian religion that has persisted through the ages.  Note that Satan may not be interested in war at this time because he wins more souls to his side under prosperity and complacency.

In His Mercy, God is presently warning those who follow the Dragon. He is testing the nations, the institutions, the family, and individuals with bitter waters to forewarn them of what is to come.  This “shadow” will give people time to contemplate the condition of their mind, soul and spirit, allowing them an opportunity to change course and make righteous choices.  

Another facet of the dragon connects it to the Red Dragon of China and the 10 Headed Dragon of a future One-World Government and the pursuit of Globalism.  Globalism and its one-world religion will oppose the church and the Truth of God.  God has chosen Trump to fight this threat and to halt the authority and growth of this dragon, to reverse the abortion pro-Islamic actions of the Obama Administration, appoint God-fearing judges, to put a halt to the Prince of Persia (Iran) and to institutionalize Israel’s Legal Right over Jerusalem and the land of Israel.  Upon mighty chariots this righteous message is being carried to the four corners of the earth.  And like horse-drawn chariots there will be increased tension at every corner of this planet.  The chariots of Zechariah are going forth two to the northern hemisphere and one south with one waiting near the Holy City.  Read The Paradigm to understand the connection between the King Jehu, the rumbling tension of the chariots, and the appointed election of Donald Trump over America. 

The unique nature of the Great Sign is that it was impossible to see with naked eyes because the second the Sun appears on her shoulder the viewer is blinded by the sun’s rays. You are NOT able to see the stars nor the moon.  But astronomers knew it occurred and God knew that we would have these modern-day astronomers to let us know the position of the sun, moon, planets and stars.  So, I ask you, “Why does God say, ‘And there appeared a Great Sign,’ if that sign is not visible to the eye?”  This could be the KEY to the divine message. What else do we know that exists and is invisible or not visible to the human eye?  YES, the supernatural, the wind and bacteria or viruses.  The Sign could be warning us or preparing us for an invisible attack or series of events such as a pestilence, windstorms or earthquakes. This includes attacks by Satan and his demons who are “invisible,” plagues and the terrors that come by night.

The virus is killing an older prime generation that has run Europe for the last 50 years.  These are the people that learned the lessons of WWII and are influencing governments and economies.  Is another stronger wave of the virus coming in the late summer and Fall as it did with the Spanish influenza? Upon the ashes of this viral scourge will the Anti-Christ rise-up like a Phoenix?  Will he win the hearts of the new generation-X and the Millennials who lean towards tolerance and a blend of Babylonian beliefs, environmentalism, creature worship, idol worship, end-of-the-world fears, abortion, and the celebration of immorality?  He and his minions will rewrite history, up-root morality, and establish many false religions with false Christs, imposing a rule by persecution and unadulterated freedoms.  Will the Red Dragon of Revelation 12, be worshiped and exalted by China, Russia, and all of Europe? It seems as if the spirit of the anti-Christ has already impregnated the hearts of many of their leaders.  Satan is presently stirring up certain nations more than others and preparing for the rise of this charismatic Anti-Christ. Ironically, this “novel virus” is impeding the world system and may be impeding Iran’s nuclear bomb.

Part of the reason for the persecution of Jews may be that God is trying to motivate them to flee from the comfort and temptations in those very nations. Many like Weinstein, Epstein, Sanders, and Hefner never practiced the faith they were born into and have been enemies of God and the innocent. Like Vladimir Lenin, Trotsky and other notorious Jews they forsook Almighty God.  Those that still live will meet a dark end if they do not repent.  Does God feel the need to act soon to save souls before evil men do more harm than good?  Will He use elder Jews and the old guard leadership to quickly move Jews out of Europe and America to Israel? 

The pumping of 8-15 trillion dollars of debt could begin a world-wide recession mixed with inflation.  Some say a depression is on its way. Hitler showed that the most effective way to control a population is through economic collapse.  AS it spreads through both Europe and the U.S., panic may set in leading to a break-up of cherished institutions.  The EU was already in deep trouble before the virus hit and now that Britain is out and both Spain and Italy are crippled, pressures could intensify.  The U.S. may soon be viewed as a major threat whereas China may be perceived as a white knight.  We have already seen how China has manipulated our Big Alphabet Media.  Was this China’s plan all along?  More economic challenges related to disasters are ahead of us.  This is part of the tension related to the chariots.

At present we are seeing the closure of casinos, game-parlors, theme parks, sports stadiums, music and theatric halls, movie theaters, betting events, the martial and fighting arts.  The temples of idol worship are closed but so are the churches.  The economy awaits a new beginning to revive the country, but will it succeed? Israel is in a lock down and tourism is dead.  Is all this part of what Jesus said would be the Sign of the Time related to the Fig Tree?

The book, Cosmic Crossroad Countdown explains why and how the Fig Tree represents the modern nation of Israel.  Jesus states, “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.” Does this refer to revival of the ancient Hebrew language, a once dead language? Or does this relate to the recent virus induced shutdown of the economy in Israel or to the stalemate in the leadership? Israel had 3 major elections in the span of about a year. Is it just a coincidence that New York City which has the largest concentration of Jews outside of Israel and harbors the U.N. has the distinction of owning the worst contagion of the virus in the world? To help you answer these enigmatic questions I wrote the book titled Cosmic Crossroad Countdown: The Fig Tree & the Prophetic Generation. 

In Matthew 24, Jesus continues, “So, you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near-at the doors!”   Now 3 years later, have those doors been opened? Is this contagion part of the pestilence that Jesus warns us about? During this contagion are we seeing God working to strengthen and invigorate the nation? There is “amazing grace” as heroic first responders and others successfully fight this invisible attack.  Is it more than a coincidence that this virus has the title “Corona” which means crown inferring that it is like a “king” of its realm?  Is God using this virus to test the church, our nation, and the world?  Read other posts and essays here at ToGodBtheGlory.org or at the Facebook page SOS or the page Cosmic Crossroad to understand the key to the Fig Tree and what the Prophetic Generation is. 

The Great Sign is also a warning telling us to break away from the Anti-Christ spirit controlling nations and aiding enemy powers such as, the Dragon-like, China which has gained economic dominance at our expense. The Chinese are masters at drone warfare.  The use of drones for germ warfare could be the next form of attack.  China may be watching to see how this virus affects our defenses and our economy.  Was SARS & other germ accidents trial runs? And now that the enemy attack has begun, is our Generation, one born at the start of the formation of the Nation of Israel in 1948, a parallel to the Prophetic Generation that both Daniel and Jeremiah belonged to?  That generation saw many new beginnings and was part of Jeremiah’s 70-year prophecy which motivated the Jewish people to return to rebuild Jerusalem.  Is the “Wheel of Time” about to repeat itself?

Will we see a captivity and destruction that Daniel and Jeremiah saw, or will there be a revival in the world that will save God’s remnant in remote places? Could this captivity be of a spiritual kind where our nation falls into gross materialism and idolatry?  Will there be another pandemic following this one with a death rate closer to 135,000?  Why is God in Heaven keeping count of numbers of new Saints & Martyrs?  Will the rapture begin as soon as the number is fulfilled?  Surely with such high casualty rates we are approaching this vanishing point.  So, keep praying and meditating in God’s Word seeking Truth that will redeem your time and thoughts.  The Great Sign has announced that the stage is ready and that the last “wheel in time” has begun. 

God works in both physical and spiritual trials to bring us together and closer to Him.  We saw this with a tiny virus that can kill or weaken the physical but in a deeper sense can suck the air out of your space magnifying fear, hopelessness, and loneliness?  It can make that hole in our lives bigger.  He wants us to know that only He can fill it.  He calls for us to open our eyes and heart to the simple truth that He is real and loves you: for more help you can also go to Facebook pages “SOS” Save our Souls, or Cosmic Crossroad Countdown or to the website .   There you will learn about the “Wheels of Time” and in my 2nd book Dentistry Xposed you will learn how to avoid lies, scams and myths.

People are stepping up in many amazing ways to beat the virus and the lie: whiskey companies are making hand-sanitizer, car companies are making ventilators,  hospitals are being erected throughout the country, and some media outlets are exposing the spirit of the anti-Christ in deep state lies that do no one any good.   Since the Big Alphabet stations of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC have become propaganda machines, the truth must be spread by word of mouth and on social channels. Would it not be great if we finally overcome all of this in less than 400 days? 

As a doctor who has been blessed by God after having suffered under the darkness of fear and powers of the principalities of evil, I am grateful for the opportunity to help others.  On the mission field in remote areas where Indigenous Indians have struggled to survive, the Lord showed each of us His power in healing, transforming, and protecting us and those in great need.   In the comfort of our nation it is easy to lose God’s perspective as we pursue wealth and prestige as professionals and as businesses.  

Now I feel like a lone voice calling in the wilderness and unfortunately few of those who control pulpits and the media are willing to listen. These entrenched leaders are more focused on reputations, budgets, and their own popularity.  But God wants our attention. Note that there have recently been 3 deadly tornadoes throughout America that have hit at night causing massive destruction and death.  Are these invisible windstorms another warning?  If you want to read more about the mission to protect your health, save money, and inspire ideas, read the book Dentistry Xposed: Protecting You, Your Smile (JOY), and your Wallet.  Profits will go to fight the battle and help those in need.

Psalm 91, written by Moses is one of the most beautiful Psalms and one that comforts the heart concerning unexpected and unseen trials.  The word “pestilence” is used 3 times and the “terror that comes a night” is also unseen. By the way in the movie The Ten Commandments pestilence is also spoken of 3 times as it sweeps the land in the form of the Angel of Death killing the eldest male of each family.  Is Covid-19 killing primarily the eldest males?  Many people cannot sleep because of the fears, thoughts, and anxiety that meets them at bedtime.  God, however, reminds us, if we abide in Him, His shadow will cover us and we can say, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my GOD in Him I will trust.”  In Psalm 91, God promises, “You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,” and He then reminds us that we shall not be afraid of “the arrow that comes by day, nor the pestilence that walks in darkness.”  Words that the world throws at us cannot defeat those who rest in Him, nor can the darkly conceived pestilence eternally kill Saints.  “FOR HE SHALL GIVE HIS ANGELS CHARGE OVER YOU, TO KEEP YOU IN ALL YOUR WAYS.” 

Good news is that science is showing that millions more people have had the Coronavirus than previously recorded. This indicates a natural or herd immunity that lowers the death rate tremendously. There is another study that is showing that sheltering in place may actually do more harm than good by weakening people’s immunity and increasing the spread of the virus to those who otherwise would not be so extensively exposed. Outdoor fresh air and Light helps to heal and protect the body from viruses. So will we turn the corner on time? Will we let the LIGHT change us before it is too late. If not more judgment is due in short time. Again it will be unexpected, unseen and targeted for the sake of the innocent and to convey a message for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear.

One powerful statement that God made here in Dallas was a destructive tornado which wiped out over 13 miles of suburban Dallas in the middle of the night yet did not kill nor seriously harm anyone.   God completes Psalm 91 with a Gospel promise, “because you have set your love upon me, I will deliver you; I will set you on high, because you know MY NAME.  You shall call upon Me, and I will answer you; I will be with you in trouble; I will deliver you and honor you; with a long life I will satisfy you, and will show you My Salvation.”   Jesus Christ is our Life and Salvation.  Paul the Apostle promises, “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is LORD and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”  “For God so Loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but will have everlasting Life,” John 3:16.  Jesus states, “And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses,” Mark 11:25.   We are to be Givers and Forgivers,  In His Mighty Love & Amazing Grace,  Amen.

The Red Dragon with 7 heads and 10 horns:  There are many interpretations of this beast which is not fully developed but does exist today.  In Revelation: he is described as rising from the sea which implies the population of the world or world system.  The 7 heads may suggest the “complete” world since 7 is a number of completion and the world does have 7 continents.  The number 10 is known as a symbol of the authority and power through governments on the Earth. It can also symbolize responsibility, law and completeness and is often used as a symbol of God’s Authority in the Bible:  the 10 Commandments, the 10 Plagues, and the 10 days in the Feast of Trumpets before the Day of Atonement.  So here Satan is counterfeiting God’s authority in controlling the world system for his use. Distinct lines are being drawn as God unleashes trials and tests on earth and as rebellion rises against God.  Read Isaiah 60, Matt. 24, and 2 Thess: 2:3.

Hell and a warning

HELL and a warning:

Why do you think, Jesus Christ spoke more about Hell than about Heaven?  Do  you think it is because He knew the future and the Lies that Satan would spin about God’s Eternal Judgment? I believe that He wanted to make it very, very clear to us that Hell is a place to fear for it is an eternal punishment and not just a momentary punishment.  Even Justinian compromised and explained that surely God would allow the dead an opportunity to be redeemed or prayed into heaven. This of course is where the idea of “Purgatory” came from.  Sadly this is  the belief of all Catholics and Mormons (who do not name it purgatory), and therefore probably the majority of people who call themselves “Christian”. Satan has done a good job of deceiving people.  This is a very sad reflection of the church and the Seminaries.  Speaking of seminaries, they have also neglected to teach their students about the importance and facets of Apologetics.  Hence they graduate students without the ability to defend the Faith against the adherents of Evolution and the cults!

The Seventh Day Adventist and the Jehovah Witness have another take on Hell. They do not believe in it at all, and declare that everything will be annihilated except for them.  This Annihilation deception is again, Satan’s attempt to negate the Sovereignty of God and  the “position” where God places believers and non-believers.  Without Hell there is no True Heaven, and no True Tri-une God as declared by Jesus Christ,  the Holy Spirit and the Father.

Hell and the dark forces on this earth are connected to Satan and his schemes to thwart the Gospel and Redemption.  Satan and his demons will be cast into the same fiery pit as those who are condemned at the Great White Throne Judgment by God. This is not a temporary judgment.  Jesus said,  “The Son of Man will send out his angels and they will uproot from the kingdom everything that is spoiling it, and all those who live in defiance of its laws, and will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be tears and bitter regret.” (Matthew 13:24-43) Jesus called it a place of wailing and of weeping, a place of outer darkness.  Jesus also spoke of “Ge-henna” which was a familiar physical “hell” to the people of the time for it represented the smoldering garbage dump that served the city of Jerusalem.  Hell, of course, is not a physical place, and therefore annihilation which relates to the physical is not Biblical Truth!  Hell is an Eternal agony, and supernatural = an after death experience with eternal separation from God.  Right now, God is building up His Kingdom and Satan is building “down” his.

A Warning:  The Americo-Euro-Asians and all who choose the world over God, have grown too comfortable in a techno-sugar-coated-superficial narcissism. I am reminded of a man who was in prison and looked forward to latrine duty so that he could collect the used and unused toilet paper provided by the cruel warden from torn up Bibles. He so wanted to learn the Word of God. Many have grown up in total poverty or neglect and God is giving them visions and dreams to bring them to him. In this world of mass transportation and communication, God says, “I have given the privileged the Gospel and they have rejected me, so I am giving the crumbs to the dispossessed.”

He warns, “I am going to bring you to Holy ground one way or another, so you had better come as soon as you can on my terms. You chose to ignore me and to resist my gifts of salvation and the Spirit, now you will face cleansing trials and tribulations”.

He is saying, “I spoke in parables because you would not listen nor hear; you refused to see me and see the Truth. You want your own desires and your own dreams, so I will give them to you as a veil that will blind you to my coming. You seek your own will, so I will harden your heart, and as unto the Pharaoh you will not see my judgment to come until it is too late. You hear and follow false prophets and teachers; you think and hope you will be lifted up before you are tried;  I will not pluck the spoiling seed until the stalk dies, for you will face the desert wind, fire, and the shaking from the four corners. You and your people will fall into deception, and lies, and the mighty will fall. My Word is not a hidden Truth, yet you have failed to study my Revelation and my Promises.”

Jesus forewarns us all concerning the “days of Noah,” and people will be marrying and being given unto marriage, when the judgment comes. They will not heed the warnings, nor give any credence to them. Are you one of them? Read the new book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN: The Fig Tree & the Prophetic Generation to understand what is about to happen.  History will repeat itself and the “Wheels of Time” are there for us to study and learn from.

Turkey is turning more and more into the Gog of the Bible.  They have imprisoned Pastor Brunson on trumped up charges using hidden witnesses and mock trials.  They have in essence admitted that they are doing this in retribution for our failure to turn over certain American citizens for trial in their country. There is good evidence that Turkey is the “seat of Satan” as described in Revelation, concerning the church of Pergamum.  Satan would feel at home in a city with 4 Temples to the Emperors of Rome, a Temple to Artimus, and a huge Temple to Zeus on top of there summit. This summit complex had the steepest amphitheater in the world and still stands.  In one of the buildings snakes would be used for healing; there were rooms where one would sleep with snakes in the hope that the serpents would crawl over them and give them good dreams, and healing.  Zeus was the pinnacle of paganism and represented Apostasy. Like BAAL he was the God of Thunder with lightening in his hands. He was connected to the defilement of the Temple- the abomination of desolation in the 2nd century BC.  In essence this altar was to be the throne to Satan, but it was pulled down by the Maccabean revolt. The altar in Pergamum was not destroyed at this time.  Read Rev. 2:12 about the church, “where Satan dwells…” Later under Titus and the altar of Zeus, Rome would rename the area where the Jews had lived as “Palestinia”.   Satan is and was determined to remove the Jews and displace even their name.  He wants to put himself on the throne of your life- will you let him?

The Christian elder and pastor, Antipas was burned alive as a burnt offering at the altar to Zeus in Pergamum.  This “throne of Satan” was later discovered by a German engineer  and moved to Berlin and reconstructed.  In 1930 it was opened to the public just in time for Adolph Hitler.  This throne and altar inspired Hitler’s podium platform and his torch parades, and eventually the “Cathedral of Light” created by dozens of spotlights pointing to heaven. Read Isaiah 14:12-14 and read the amazing parallel to Satan-like pride and ambition.   Hitler employed “Hollywood Stars” to add to his German mystique.  Soon he formed the Nuremberg Laws which removed the citizenship from the Jews and then set up the “final solution,” the Holocaust.  Was this in essence another “burnt offering” to Satan, just as Antipas was? Hitler made the Jews the “scapegoat”.  The Jews were led like lambs to slaughter in “cattle cars”.

We may see Turkey making more alliances with nations like Russia and Iran in the near future, as it contends with both Israel and America.  Recently Erdogan, the self proclaimed dictator of Turkey, told America and Israel that moving the embassy to Jerusalem “was their red line.”  Iran has already told us that rescinding the Iran agreement established by Obama, would be crossing a red line, with severe consequences. Well that line was crossed, and Iran fired missiles into Israel – a big mistake.  Israel had already warned Putin and the Russians not to turn on their anti-aircraft SAM missiles which they honored. Israel was able to destroy all the Iranian military sites in Syria in just one evening.  Now Iran, realizing that they have been betrayed by Russia, has reneged on the treaty and agreements with Russia, Europe and others and is preparing for nuclear war.

Here in May or June we also have the potential conference between Kim of North Korea and Trump.  Is this another trap or smokescreen from North Korea for a surprise attack on the South or on us?   We are entering a very precarious period with ominous signs.  Some of those signs are of natural order such as the 3 surprise eruptions of a normally “dormant” Steamboat geyser in Yellowstone (which produces a geyser 10X the volume of Old Faithful) and the fierce eruption of the volcano on the large island in Hawaii.  This is a volcanic island like many in the Pacific that are now very active.  There are earthquakes happening all around the ring of fire surrounding the entire Pacific ocean.  Does all this portend of a massive earthquake in California?

There is a chance for Redemption to all who call upon the Lord.  God is bringing miraculous healing and salvation to many people throughout the Middle East and the World.  Trust is the Lord with All your Heart and Lean not on your own understand, Acknowledge Him in all that you do, and He will make your path straight.  If you confess Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that He was raised from the dead, you will be saved.

 

 

 

Traitor in our Midst

I woke up in the middle of the night with this thought.  Who can we trust?  Who is being protected and lies in wait?  If we cannot deal with the enemies we see, how can we deal with the enemies that either we do not know or that are hidden in plain sight?  God knows the answer, so how do we prepare?

How many times are you lied to daily?  How many times do you lie either intentionally or “non-intentionally”? There is another essential question for each of us to ask ourselves, “Is it OK to lie for the sake of others?”  Yet, we know that a lie is a lie! In God’s eye we have lied, period.  If we listen only enough to gain power or position then we are lying.  To claim that we did not hear something in order to claim innocence is a lie, and so is the converse.  It takes a strong mind and heart centered on God not to lie, nor to lie to oneself.  Maybe, God will help us if we are willing to expose the lie in us, so that we can have an intimate relationship with the Truth?  If we allow God to renew our minds and give us a right Spirit, then maybe we can then discern the Truth and expose the Lie allowing others also to gain from our knowledge and experience.

God showed up again at our White Rock Lake ministry this last Sunday.  Even though the weather appeared stormy and the wind was blowing, we felt the call of God to share the Gospel and give away free books and lemonade off the bike trail.  Unlike most Sundays, however, there were few people out and about.  Then something interesting happened, we had a series of individuals stop by that I believe represent an interesting pattern.  1) At two different times young Catholic men came over to check out the books.  I was able to share in depth with the one who spoke English concerning having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the fact that parents, works, and the Pope will not save anyone.  He was very appreciative of the theological discussion and a new Bible that we gave him.

2)  A couple of “communist” Chinese students stopped on their bikes, and while one went to the port-o-potty the other came over at my invite.  She was curious, yet reluctant to talk about God or faith, so I asked her what part of China was she from.  She said South China and I replied that my grandparents were missionaries in Canton (southern China) for 25 years.  “That is where I am from”, she retorted. At that point the other girl came over and saw the book that the first girl had rejected.  The book was about a popular Chinese pastor who formed a ministry and underground church in China.  As she grabbed the book, it opened up to a middle page that just happened to have an inscription in Chinese that she recognized as the name of the town that she was from.  “This is a picture of my neighborhood,” she exclaimed!  We shared the faith with them and they left- returning a few minutes later to grab one more book, a Bible!  Note that rarely, do the Chinese students  talk to us.

3)  A rough looking older man with a loud mouth and aggressive nature came over to us and said that he was a Christian, but that most christians  are not real christians since then accept “the Jew”.  He retorted that all Jews should be killed and so I asked him if Jesus was a Jew.  “No”, he said, “Jesus is of the Spirit.”  So then I asked him if “Mary” was a Jew and again he said, “NO”.  He grew louder and louder with his arms flailing and face scowling.  I felt brave and emboldened and so told him that he was very wrong and that God would “Judge him harshly for his attitude and belief”.  He walked away still yelling.  Note that I did not say, “Fine you are entitled to your own beliefs.”  God has called us to be both Light and Salt, and not to be ashamed of the Gospel of Salvation

4)  A Jehovah Witness girl dropped by to look at the books.  She listened as I shared with her about the 144,000 in the book of Revelation and that they were all Jews from the 12 tribes and not Gentile Christians. I talked with her for about 30 minutes. She listened intently and left with one of our Christian books on faith.  Even though we rarely have a JW stop to talk to us, she also seemed excited and thanked us.

5)   Then I had the opportunity to talk to a young man who came from Hindu Nepalese background and had had someone years earlier pray over him to receive Christ.  I told them if he was not being true to his heart, the confession would not be valid.  He asked why the Christian God should be accepted as the true God?  I shared with him that God became a man so that He could share His nature and character with us, as a loving God who was willing to sacrifice his only begotten Son for our sin, and all we have to do is have faith to accept that gift of sacrifice.  He said that anyone can die and that all religions have a God with special traits and then finished with, “What makes a Christian so special?” I shared that the true nature of God is one of love and justice and not to kill indiscriminately as we see happening in many religions.  I said, “do you not know that many Christians have died for their faith refusing to recant their faith despite the threat of death.”  He hesitated and said “Yes, but what makes your faith better?”  So I asked him to go back in time and study the Babylonians who ruled the world, even defeating the Jewish nation.  Surely their faith would be special since many modern religions are connected to this early Babylonian model.  “Note,” I said, “they killed the Israeli kings and took their youth and the talented as captives.”  “One of those was Daniel, and the book of Daniel is one of the books preserved in the Dead Sea Scrolls and so has been proven to be authentic and accurate.” “If you study the book of Daniel you will understand how God works in the lives of those He trusts to carry His message forward to us.”  “Babylon accepted Daniel’s God as their own.”  He was excited and asked me to write down that name and rushed away on his bike.

6) While I was talking to him a guy came up who we know as a Hindu philosopher and who likes to promote a False christian Narrative which is basically Satanic.  It was an Interference which we did not allow to deter us.  He was loud and getting louder as I was sharing with that the young man. So after the young man left,  I went over to him and interrupted his argument with my ministry partner, Angie.  “You have tried to interfere with the work of the Holy Spirit as I shared with the young man, and God wants you to know that He will not forgive the one that forsakes the Holy Spirit”.  He got really agitated and started flailing his arms and contorting his face then left.   

7)  Then an ex combat soldier, by the name of Lonny, came up and asked me about what it means to be a Christian. He told me that he was a Christian but that he did not go to church.  So I asked what the two main Sacraments of the Christian Faith are.  He said that he did not know so I told him that they were Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and that both required that a person be a member of a group of believers or church.  He showed me his chest full of battle wounds and knelt down next to me to find out more about the Word.  That led to a very deep and rewarding discussion and his desire to contact us and buy my book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN.  

We saw many others, but only for a few minutes at a time sharing books with them and giving away the free lemonade.

The opposition was obvious and the Spiritual battle was clear.  There were dark forces determined to stop our effort to share the Gospel and lead the lost to Christ.  Both of the aggressors for Satan claimed to be “Christians,” yet were obviously “traitors to the faith,” followers of a false Christ, and opponents of the  work of the Holy Spirit.  One was blatantly Anti-Jew and the other was New Age and demanding an all inclusive Christianity not dependent on the Words of our Lord Jesus Christ who said, “I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through me.”

The others covered a broad spectrum of modern day society:  1) a cult member 2) A Christian who does not attend church  3) Two girls raised as atheists  4) two men raised as Catholics  5) a Nepalese Buddhist who had Christians pray with him for Salvation, yet he did not change nor grow in Christ.  He was trusting in many gods, and thus could be considered a New Age adherent.  5) and the tough soldier as a Christian did not attend any church.  In this case I do believe that his faith was sincere, but stunted due to trauma, or his lack of social skills and willingness to have Christian fellowship.

 

 

 

Are These the Days of Elijah?

The Prophet Malachi promised that Elijah the prophet would come right before the “great and awesome day the LORD.”  The Jewish people do not believe that he has come, whereas we as Christians know that Jesus proclaimed that John the Baptist was Elijah.  Today we are the “Elijahs”, because we are supposed to be preparing the “Way of the Lord” in the “wilderness” for His Second Coming.

Right now we are seeing very dark forces rising up.  We have seen ISIS, North Korea, Abu Sayyaf, Al-Qaida, Hezbollah, Boko Haram, Al Sahbaab, Hamas, and dozens of others intent on killing Christians, Jews, and anyone they do not like.

The powers of darkness are being manifested in social behavior and the glamorization of evil, Satan, slavery, pornography, and just about everything that goes against the Spirit and Truth.  The Burning Man festival is a good example.   This “alternate world” is an ultimate freak-out with drugs, sex, sorcery, witchcraft, worship of the dead, and now even a human sacrifice.  Check out the post on the “Burning Man”.   We are witnessing Defiance and “demi-gods” taking front stage in America with the media glamorizing their every action and declaration.  God is now going to act.

In the time of Elijah, Jezebel introduced Baal worship which was a combination of nature worship, Idol worship, child sacrifice, self mutilation, and worship of Asherah.   This is an amazing parallel to what we see today, if you consider abortion as child sacrifice and piercing as mutilation.  Temple prostitution is associated with drugs, slavery, child abuse, and the worship of Asherah.

Do you remember how Elijah was hunted down by Ahab?  Finally Elijah agreed to meet King Ahab’s 850 prophets of Baal at Mount Carmel for the showdown of the Ages.  It had not rained in Israel ever since God told Elijah that He would not bring rain…. and of course Ahab blamed Elijah.  He had all the people show up to watch the battle.  Elijah gave the Baal prophets as much time as they needed, even time to cut themselves and wail to their god.  Elijah then had the men dig a trench and fill it with water.  In this trench he drenched the wood for the altar that was built and then called out to God.  God answered and lit the altar up and the  sacrifice was  fulfilled.  The people then killed all the prophets of Baal.  This was the ultimate supernatural battle fought on a mountain top in front of all the kings men and for all the people to witness.   Are we willing to take a stand for God and “destroy” the demi-gods and idols in our lives?  Why are people wasting hours watching sports, idolizing sports and sport heroes, talking sports, and promoting sports?  Why are we setting a bad example for kids?  These so called heroes are often abusers of women, of the temple of the Holy Spirit which is their body, and glamorizers of violence.

Today on this same Mount Carmel there is another “Altar” – one that represents all the pagan religions of the world.  It is lit up at night like a great pyramid of paganism and Baal worship for all the world to see. Israel allows it!  Below is a picture of this eleven level pyramid of altars to the world’s most prominent religions including ancient ones to Saturn, which is just another name for Satan.  This is a testimony of the fallen nature of culture today including that of Israel and God’s chosen people.  Again “Testimonies” are an integral part of my new book:  COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN- The Fig Tree & The Prophetic Generation.

Sodom & Gomorrah: Burning Man and Prophecy.

There is an orgy of Biblical proportions going on right now in this country.  It is called Burning Man and it in a very isolated corner of the Black Rock Desert.   You will find nudists (lots of them), palm readers, neopagans, “ecosexuals,” witches, sorcerers, shamans, New Age gurus, “goddesses”, Satanists, “polyamorists” and just about every type of fetishist you can possibly imagine worshipping almost every God imaginable.  This year unlike any other year they had a human sacrifice.

The reason why the festival is called “Burning Man” is because of the gigantic effigy that is burned toward the end of the eight-day celebration. Nobody is physically harmed during the burning of this enormous “wicker man,” but it does parallel the human sacrifices that the Druids did in ancient times.

Although the organizers of Burning Man strongly deny that it is an overtly occult festival, it is undeniable that thousands upon thousands of occultists from all over the planet are drawn to this celebration each year.  And there are many others that go to Burning Man just for the sex, drugs and techno music. During these eight days, people openly and freely use illegal drugs, and the authorities don’t seem to mind.  Public nudity and all forms of debauchery are common place. The biggest draw of all is the casual sex rampant at Burning Man. This year a man committed suicide by jumping into the “burning man” fire.   It would not be surprising if this was a witch inspired suicide aimed at conjuring up some spell against Trump.

My thought it that nothing good is going to come of this.  God is patient and merciful, but there comes a point where He will erase outright evil as He did in Sodom and Gomorrah.  So much evil is coming out of neighboring California that I am not hesitant to predict that God will soon judge that state.  He was merciful in giving them rain after a long drought, but in return California has only intensified their defiance against Him.  This is all part of the Cosmic Countdown that I discuss in my new book Cosmic Crossroad Countdown that you can order on Amazon for less than $4.  What happened at Burning Man is just  another Sign that stands out this year to point everyone to the Countdown.

The Title “Burning Man” is actually a self fulfilling title to all who trust in themselves for answers.  These people are just a stark representation of what rebellion  looks like in its raw nature.  When judgment came to Sodom and Gomorrah all who lived there were burning in temporal and eternal sulfur.  This  will be the home of all those who live today to glorify that kind of behavior.

Not surprising that a day after the closing of “Burning Man,” God lights up the sun with the a pair of extremely are solar flares!  The largest of the two is the biggest since 2006.  These flares are measured on a scale from one to nine in C, M and X classes, with X being the most powerful. Today, Wednesday, two solar flares erupted from sunspot region 2673: an X9.3 flare followed by a an X2.2 flare. The last such powerful X-class flare was 9.0 on Dec. 5, 2006.

If you were God and I was the Enemy:

So if you were God Almighty the creator of everything and you wanted to interact with your marvelous creation would you not want to transform yourself into flesh so that you could sense and interact in every way possible- to smell the flowers, see the splendid array of colors in even the smallest butterfly, and talk face to face to those you designed to care for them and the earth around them?

That my friend is what the “Invisible God” did. He came to the Garden of Eden and spoke to Adam and Eve and walked the garden with them. He warned them of an enemy and told them not to eat the bad fruit, then spent most of his time sharing the beauty and wonder of the animals and plants around them. He pointed upward and told them of the “story of life” in the heavens: the stars and their constellations and the eternal message that they carried. You see God loved them as He loves us, and He loves all the creation.

However one of his mighty angels took pride in himself and sought to lead 1/3 of this fellow angels against God. Michael the Archangel opposed him and fought him throughout history- over the body of Moses and in most cases defending the Plan of Redemption formulated by God. Satan tried to undermine this plan and the incarnate God, Jesus Christ, as he fasted in the wilderness.  Satan continues to inspire his minions to try to destroy the “Christ” that God places in us so as to make  the Christian and the church ineffective!

When Jesus Christ accomplished the mission of dying for our sins He gave us the Holy Spirit (Christ in us) to convict, teach, guide, and protect us. He even told the disciples that the Holy Spirit would do more for them than he possibly could – and he does because He resides in us at all times on all places. By the way this is a good parallel to God’s foot prints in the Garden of Eden as He, God Almighty, interacted with His Creation and then provided an animal skin as a covering for the sin of Adam-  shedding the blood of a pure animal! In each Case God is Working on our behalf to increase intimacy and protection. For He Does Love Us and Cares for us!

Satan, on the other hand, has tried in every way to destroy this very special relationship by trying to redefine and distort it! Just as he did with Adam and Eve and with Jesus, he tries to cast doubt, reshape logic, distort, undermine Truth, and tempt us. The best way to do this is to fool people into thinking that Jesus Christ is not God! Likewise Satan desires to redefine and undermine the Holy Spirit and the church. But God has appointed his Truth to Win Out in the End and it will despite Satan’s best efforts in creating these falsehoods and delusions.

So imagine if you or I were Satan, what would one do to undermine God’s Plan? 1) I would try to kill all prophets and those who carried the message from the Garden and the stars. 2) I would then have tried to kill the baby before he was empowered!- which Satan did try. But God sent his angels and the Saving Truth spoken through Daniel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and others so that for the 1st time in history an enemy nation, Persia, would actually rebuild a servile nation and its sacred Temple! Centuries later their students would search the Stars to guide the Gentile kings to the newborn KING of KINGS. 3) I would do all I could to kill the incarnate God – which Satan thought that he accomplished through deceit, pride, greed, and the manipulation of thoughts! But his plan failed and God’s plan of Redemption through the Defeat of Death won out! 4) Finally I would try to kill off His “child” – the church- and His promised people the Jews ! This has been very successful in many areas of the world! But the love of Christians including their willingness to forgive has been the best weapon to disarm Satan’s followers in the Middle East!  Once the number of Martyrs is counted, Jesus Christ will return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords to Judge the world.  If I were Satan I would make one final attempt to fool people by disquising myself as “the wolf in sheeps clothing”.  I would try my best to create false “loving”  Christs of every kind:
a) A “prophet christ” in Islam and which makes Jesus just a prophet who died on a stake and is subservient to their god Allah. This concept has worked well to stoke nations into killing Christians and subverting the church

b) Or creating “Michael-christ” angel who appears as an angel to defeat evil, but is not Jehovah God as promoted by the Jehovah Witnesses. This created christ appeals to many and is a good counterfeit. But instead of promoting the fact that Jesus as God offers salvation as a free gift -they emphasize works only-salvation!

c) Or a “christ-spirit” that helps people and is super loving and sympathetic and willing to do anything for you if you know the spiritual methods to let him do it. This and other spiritual forms of christ are the New Age christ.

d) Or a “human christ” who will eventually allow Satan to inhabit his life force so that he can perform great miracles and command great power with world unifying leadership skills. This will be the Anti-christ.

e) Or a “mini anti-christ” like Hitler who will be gifted in speech and debate – able to use human skills and intelligence to destroy anything good around them.

f) Or a “created christ angel” whose brother is Satan himself and who again is really powerless to save on His own merit. This christ is not really God for he is a created spirit-being and offers humans the opportunity to be “gods” like him and have “heavenly families”. Again much of the Mormon faith is works based and diminishes the Truth of who Jesus Christ is by subverting His true Name!.

The Jehovah Witness a False Christ

Jehovah Witness Attack on the Deity of Christ
Three Assumptions or Beliefs form the Jehovah Witnesses:
1) Divine guidance comes only through the Watch Tower Society. One Society member even brags that they have a better Revelation of the Bible than the church because they are receiving revelations every day to the point that they add 32 pages to the Bible every week. Any disagreement with the Watch Tower Society is a disagreements with God!
2) Jehovah Witnesses alone have the Truth of God. This in turn leads them to believe that they must be separate from the world. This gives them a deep feeling of superiority, exclusiveness, and uniqueness. They view the whole world system outside of the Society as being Satanic.
3) They hold that Orthodox, Protestant, Catholic and even Jewish Orthodoxy are false and controlled by Satan. They believe that the Jehovah Witnesses belong to no earthly organization but only to the divine heavenly one.

The Society considers Christianity as their biggest enemy and those who counter their religion are to be hated and despised. Their “manual” states: “Haters of God and His people..are to be hated..We must hate in the truest sense, which is to regard in extreme aversion…Oh Jehovah God consume them in wrath, consume them that they shall be no more”. This is not exactly the love the Jesus Christ commanded that we have for our enemies.  Their whole effort is to attack the Trinity and present a False Christ that was created by their Jehovah God.

Tbe JW’s believe that there are 3 classes of individuals: 1) the 144,000 which receive the revelations of God and are responsible for the writings of the Watch Tower. They will enjoy the special privileges of justification and being born again. This justification is not a once-for-all legal declaration of God as the Bible teaches but only a “present” justification that may be forfeited at any time by disobedience. “Born again” to them also has a different meaning: it is to be water baptized and anointed by God so as to be recreated by God as a spirit creature after death- just as God recreated Jesus into Michael the Archangel after his death- (this doctrine may change with new edicts of their Watch tower Society). They do not realize that “born again” means a spirit rebirth in the inner man that God grants which brings with it eternal life. Jn. 3:3-8, 5:24, 6:47, 1 Jn. 1:11-13.
2) The 2nd class includeds Jehovah Witnesses that cannot be born again – “the other sheep”. After death they are recreated to live on earth and are not spirit beings – they are physically recreated to be ruled over by the 144,000.
3) The final class are non- Jehovah witnesses who are “good” people and can earn salvation after death. None of this is Biblical. The bible says, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved..” Acts 16:31.

To the JW salvation is not by Grace, through faith- instead it is by personal merit and good works. Grace has an entire different meaning to them: grace implies the opportunity for man to work for his own salvation only. Jehovah Witnesses have changed the meaning of verses throughout the Word of God. 1) In one case simply by adding the word “the” they demote the Deity of Christ implying separation of God from Christ: Titus 2:13 “While we wait for the blessed hope-the glorious appearing of our Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ..” Clearly this verse is saying that Jesus Christ is our great God and Savior! This and the following  one verse are often quoted as signatures of our Christian faith!
So here is the JW version: “While we wait for the happy hope and glorious manifestations of the great God and of (the) Savior of us, Christ Jesus.” This is a complete mistranslation of the Greek to deny the deity of Jesus. 2) Another one of my favorite verses is Col. 1:17 and again the JW’s have skewed the translation to fit their theology.  The Word says: “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” The Jehovah Witness version says:
“Also, he is before all (other) things and by means of him all (other) things were made to exist”. Again this is a way to change the fact that Christ is eternal and therefore God- a doctrine that they deny. The Watchtower’s own Greek interlinear version shows no “other” in the original Greek. When confronted this is an embarrassment to them.  3) John 8:58 a perfect example of Jesus saying that HE is GOD: “….before Abraham was born, I AM” which was clearly understood by all the Jews that Jesus was claiming to be God! The JW version states: “…before Abraham came into existence, I have been”. This obscures the fact that Jesus was making a direct claim to be GOD. 4) Mat.24:46 states: “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.” Again the JW translation
obscures the meaning in stating: “Then these will depart into everlasting cutting-off, but the righteous into everlasting life.” The JW’s deny the biblical teaching on eternal punishment and replace it with their doctrine of the annihilation of the wicked. 5) Acts 20:28 “His own blood” mistranslated to “the blood of His own (Son) 6) Heb. 1:8 “Your throne, O God,”mistranslated to “God is your throne” 7) In Col. 2:9 “deity” changed to “divine quality” and John 1:1 “the Word was God” mistranslated to “the Word was a god”- all to deny the Deity of Jesus Christ!!!

Angels, Jesus Christ, & God the Father

The Jehovah Witnesses believe that Jesus is “Jehovah” to us on earth – from our perspective, but in the reality of heaven, Jesus is not Jehovah, but is Michael the Archangel. This would also explain why they believe Jesus is Creator, yet in heaven he is just an angel. This is disingenuous and is a type of game that the media has been playing against Trump. They show a picture of the crowds at noon and they say (as if the event took place at that time) “and look how small the crowd is” at Trumps inauguration. Yes the event began before noon, but the main event – his swearing in – only happened 4 hours later and it was raining the whole time. So the crowds gathered much later! One can twist verses and meanings if you take them out of context, isolating them, then redefining words and names, or then completely remove words and/or add new words (as in the case of John 1:1). One cannot diminish who Jesus Christ-for His Name is above all names- and He is God.  To characterize Him as an angel is heresy and  fulfills what Jesus said about the many “anti-Christs that will come in my name”.

These verses will help define who Jesus Christ is and what an angel is and that both are in no way equal! By the way there are many more verses and so I recommend that you buy a book on angels by Dr. Jeffress or Billy Graham.
1) Matthew 24:36 Here it is obvious that Jesus does not know but the Father does. Jesus is separate from the Father but both are GOD – I will include a paper that I edited on the Triune nature of God versus heresy:Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

2) Here Ezekiel  is speaking of Satan who is an angel: “Thou wast created” . So angels were created and so Jesus Christ cannot be an Angel because “he was from the beginning” (begotten which does not mean born) and was not created-
Eze_28:15, Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

3) Here again we have an inference “all things ..that are in heaven” were created by him, Col 1:16.  “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.”

4) Heb 1:3-6,  A clear difference is being made here between Jesus Christ and the angels: Heb 1:3, Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. . unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

5) Rev 21:3-6, This is in heaven God speaks and it is clear that we have both the Father and the Son Jesus Christ in One as we have “the Alpha & Omega” which is Jesus and the “great voice” which is characteristic of the Father “and I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.”

6) Heb 2:16  For verily he (Jesus) took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.  Why would the Word say that Jesus did not take on the nature of an angel? Because he was never an angel – it is clear!

7) Go to Gen 1:26, “And God said, Let us make man in our image“.. here God is referred to as “us”- God in 3 persons or the “Triune God”:  Jesus in his pre-incarnate form walked with Adam and Eve, the Father spoke creating the Universe, and the Spirit hovered over the waters.

Letter to a new Christian Pilgrim who is falling into a Jehovah Witness Trap

Dear Brother, the world that we live in has been distorted and redesigned to undermine and destroy our faith and our witness. This is NOT a game, it is spiritual warfare. You are in essence a Lamb ready for the slaughter because you have not yet acquired any of the necessary “armor” . Satan awaits like a roaring lion.
1) Be sincere and have a commitment to win with the Truth of God’s Word – GIRD UP YOUR LOINS with the Belt of Truth. Are you content to lose? Do you know what is at stake? Your usefulness on this earth and rewards in the kingdom are at stake. The souls of others may be depending on your insight and boldness! Even your own soul may be at stake, if you are lying to yourself and really do not know and trust in God. So gain wisdom and knowledge by studying God’s Word. “All the treasures of Wisdom and knowledge are found in Christ Jesus”,. So Gird up your loins with Truth!

2) Are you doing what is right by condemning the two people who drew you to the Lord and are therefore assigned to disciple you? You are judging them based on your attachment to the JW’s ! The JW’s are the ones who are keeping their own members and family from attending other churches and studying the real Bible on their own. You are very confused! You must have the Breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS to fight this battle! But you seem to have chosen to defend what you do not know in an attitude of rebelliousness, anger, & pride!
3) Have you prepared your feet for “The Gospel of Peace”? With these “feet” you are able to stand against Satan because they are anchored in the Gospel of Peace- on which you have made peace with God and know that you are saved. I doubt that you know that! With these “feet” one is strong in the Lord just as David was against Goliath. You have the courage to defeat evil & strongholds in your life.
4) The Shield of Faith protects us from the wiles of the devil whether it be illness, distractions, temptations, and any other attack. Every temptation you get is a lie! “Do this and you will be wise”, or “it will fill your need”, or “ this is the real truth God surely did not say that”….all these were used by Satan against Eve or Jesus and countless others!
5) The Helmet of Salvation or the “Hope of Salvation yet to come” (from 1Thess.) protects you from doubt and despair! This is protection from what will steal your joy & usefulness. This is confidence in God’s eternal Word & salvation.
6) Take the Sword of the Spirit, it is Rhema (a specific statement with Spiritual power), and is a sword that is designed to be used with precision for victory. Jesus quoted specific verses to Satan when tempted by him…that defeated him! Then with all prayer and petition you can seek the Holy Spirit at all times! This will make you strong. Are you drawn by his Word or are you content with having someone else interpret them for you in a false way?

Be careful that you do not go into a spiral of depression & despair that you seek truth from the “liar” & only find yourself helpless and hopeless. We understand that you are trying to protect and stand up for a “persecuted” minority that begs to be considered equal to any denomination. It is true that they have similarities with all the denominations including the Amish, Quakers, and other isolated groups. But you are the one who diminishes and hurts the Amish by aligning them with the JW’s. I dare you to call or write any Amish and suggest this- they will correct you in a heart’s beat! You apparently do not yet know what it means to be a church, a denomination, and even a Christian. You do not know Doctrine, Christology, Theology, Eschatology, nor the Hypostatic Union. So why are you challenging Angie and I who between us have 94 years of studying the Bible, prayer, teaching, and interacting with God and His people? What kind of pride is this? Let me ask you a simple logical question. If the JW’s are a denomination why have they written their own Bible?      The Amish and all the other denominations do not print their own version changing Words, meaning of words and phrases! The Amish people use KJV or the German Martin Luther Version. These and all the other mainline versions have the SAME DOCTRINES, THEOLOGY, HYPOSTATIC UNION ETC.  – WHEREAS THE “jw” version does NOT! Read Psalm 7: 14-15, Num. 32:23, Prov. 11:2, Prov. 16:18, and most of all Ed- Galatians 6:7-8 – Do Not mock God! 1Co 15:33 – Stop being deceived: “Wicked friends lead to evil ends.”

You REALLY NEED TO DIGEST WHAT THE APOSTLE PETER SAID: 2Pe 2:19 “Promising them freedom, they themselves are slaves to depravity, for a person is a slave to whatever conquers him. For if, after escaping the world’s corruptions through a full knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus, the Messiah, they are again entangled and conquered by those corruptions, then their last condition is worse than their former one. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than to know it and turn their backs on the holy commandment that was committed to them.” Note that the JW’s will not go to any other church or sermon and if anyone does they will be defellowshiped!

JW’s change some of the MOST IMPORTANT THEOLOGICAL VERSES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT! Joh 1:1-3, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (not a god). He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. WHY! Because they believe that Jesus Christ was created! This goes against both OT and NT! Read the 1st Commandment! For Jesus to be created would mean idolatry! We are not to worship other gods nor the creation! Only God has no “cause”! Isaiah 9:6 says Jesus is “Almighty God, Everlasting Father” & Col. states, “For by him all things were created, in heaven & on earth, visible and invisible,” Their’s is NOT CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY: THEY teach that God is Jehovah and that He is “one Jehovah” and not part of a trinity. They teach that Jesus was just a man while on earth & NOT fully God. While in heaven He was & is the created angel, Michael. They teach that Jesus isn’t equal to Jehovah but is the manifestation of the Word & that the two are separate beings. They teach that the Holy Spirit is an impersonal force, much like electricity. This force is used by Jehovah to accomplish His will. A person or people that claim authority to dictate new truth and rewrite the Word are “false prophets” and under judgement!

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 (not sent to Hell) – and the others will be in a new system of things and paradise. Because they are committed to OLD TESTAMENT LAW and that “life and SIN is in the blood- 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. The concept of “sin” in the blood is their own creation and is non-biblical. 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- (Rev.7 disputes this & says that these are 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel!).  They are rewriting or reinterpreting Revelation- so Ed you must read this for yourself  -Rev.22:18-20

You can hide theology in all kinds of semantics and rabbit holes but you cannot hide the Truth…a counterfeit is shown when next to the real thing – the JW’s have a FALSE CHRIST- AND ARE NO BETTER THAN ISLAM! For you to endorse them, defend them, study with them and then worship with them makes you culpable of not only idolatry but also being a witness to a false religion and professing a lie against the faith – ignorance by them or you is no excuse! You are the “son” of the Living God who is your Father and also your friend and Savior. He has always wanted a relationship with you, but you have run from Him and now your letting a counterfeit imitation draw you away. Jesus warned us, “Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold”.  So Ed, where is your love? Jesus said, “I AM the Alpha and the Omega”, says the Lord God, “who is and was and is to come, the Almighty God”. Rev. 1:8.   Read John 3:16-18. Even though Jesus Christ is and always was God, He is Love- and the greatest fruit of the Holy Spirit which is in every believer is Love- read The Word of God!  For literary inspiration read Pilgrims Progress – an allegory of the Christian walk.
