**THE ONLY THING THAT COUNTS IS **FAITH** EXPRESSING ITSELF THROUGH LOVE**!!{Galatians 5:6}
Acts 26:17,18: Jesus said to Paul, "I am sending you to the Gentiles to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are **SANCTIFIED BY FAITH**!"
Romans 1:17: For in the Gospel the righteousness of God is revealed--a righteousness that is **BY FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST**!!
Romans 3:23-25: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of His blood--to be received **BY FAITH**!!
Romans 3:27,28: Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? **NO**, because of the law that **REQUIRES FAITH**! For we maintain that a person is **JUSTIFIED BY FAITH** apart from the works of the law!!
Romans 5:1,2: Therefore, since we have been **JUSTIFIED THOUGH FAITH**, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access **BY FAITH** into this grace in which we now stand!!
Romans 10:5-9: Moses writes about the righteousness that is by the law: "The person who does these things will live by them." {Lev 18:5} But the righteousness that comes **BY FAITH** says...The word is near you: it is in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the message concerning **FAITH** that we proclaim: IF you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your **FAITH** and are saved!!
Romans 12:3: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the **FAITH** God has distributed to each of you!!
Romans 14:23: Everything that does not come **FROM FAITH** is sin!!
2 Corinthians 1:24: We work with you for your joy, because it is **BY FAITH** you stand firm!!
2 Corinthians 5:6-10: We are always confident and know that as long as we are at home with the body we are away from the Lord. For we live **BY FAITH**, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please Him... For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad!!
Galatians 2:16: We know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but **BY FAITH** in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our **FAITH** in Christ Jesus that we may be **JUSTIFIED BY FAITH** in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law **NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED**!!
Galatians 3:23-26: Before the coming of this **FAITH**, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the **FAITH** that was to come would be revealed. So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be **JUSTIFIED BY FAITH**. Now that this **FAITH** has come we are **NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVION OF THE LAW**. So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God **THROUGH FAITH**!!
Galatians 5:5,6: For through the Spirit we eagerly await **BY FAITH** the righteousness for which we hope. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is **FAITH** expressing itself through **LOVE**!!
Ephesians 2:8-10: For it is by grace you have been saved, **THROUGH FAITH**--and this is not from yourselves, it is the **GIFT** of God by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do!!
Ephesians 3:16,17: I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts **THROUGH FAITH**!!
I Thessalonians 1:3: We remember before our God and Father you work produced **BY FAITH**!!
2 Thessalonians 1:3,4: We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your **FAITH** is growing **MORE AND MORE**....Therefore, among God's churches we boast about your perseverance and **FAITH** in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring!!
2 Thessalonians 1:11: We constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of His calling, and that by His power He may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed **PROMPTED BY FAITH**!!
I Timothy 1:3,4: Command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer... Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God's work--which is **BY FAITH**!!
2 Timothy 3:14,15: Continue in what you have learned and become convinced of...and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation **THROUGH FAITH** in Christ Jesus!!
Hebrews 11:1,3,6: So **FAITH** is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see...**BY FAITH** we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, in that what is seen was not made out of what was visible... Without **FAITH** it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He **REWARDS** those who earnestly seek Him!!
Hebrews 12:1,2: Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the Pioneer and Perfecter of our **FAITH**!!

**THE ONLY THING THAT COUNTS IS FAITH EXPRESSING ITSELF THROUGH **LOVE**!!{Galatians 5:6}
Ephesians 2:8-10: For it is by grace you have been saved, **THROUGH FAITH**--and this is not from yourselves, it is the **GIFT** of God--not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do!!
**THE FATHER LOVES HIS FAITHUL SAINTS JUST AS MUCH AS HE LOVES JESUS**
John 17:23: Jesus says to His Father, "You sent Me and have **LOVED THEM** even as you **LOVED** Me!!"
**JESUS LOVES HIS FAITHFUL SAINTS **JUST AS MUCH** AS THE FATHER LOVES HIM**!!
John 15:9,10" Jesus says, "As the Father **LOVED** Me, so I have **LOVED** you!! Now remain in My **LOVE . **IF** you obey My commands, you will remain in My **LOVE** , just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in His **LOVE** !"
John 14:21,23: Jesus says, "Whoever has My commands and obeys them, he is the one who **LOVES** Me! He who loves Me will be **LOVED** by My Father, and I will **LOVE** him....If anyone **LOVES** Me, he will obey My teaching. My Father will **LOVE** him, and we will come to him and make Our home with him!!"
I John 3:18: Dear children, let us not **LOVE** with words or tongue but with actions and in truth!
WHAT'S **LOVE**GOT TO DO WITH IT??
I Peter 1:22: "Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere **LOVE** for your brothers, **LOVE** one another deeply, from the heart. For you have been born again... through the living and enduring Word of God!
I Peter 4:8: **ABOVE ALL**, **LOVE** each other **DEEPLY**, because **LOVE**covers over a multitude of sins!
I Corinthians 13:2,4-8: If I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not **LOVE** I am nothing...**LOVE** is patient, **LOVE** is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. **LOVE** does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. **LOVE** never fails!!"
John 13:34: Jesus says, "A NEW command I give you: **LOVE* one another As I have **LOVED** you, so you must **LOVE** one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples." John 15:12,13: Jesus says, "My command is this: **LOVE** each other as I have **LOVED** you. Greater **LOVE** has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
I John 3:16: This how we know what **LOVE** is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers!
Ephesians 5:1,2: Be **IMITATORS OF GOD**, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of **LOVE**, just as Christ **LOVED** us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God!
Luke 6:27,28,35,36: Jesus says, "**LOVE** your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. **LOVE** your enemies, do good to them. and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your **REWARD** will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful!"
Matthew 28:19.20� Jesus commands, �Go and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to *OBEY EVERYTHING* I have commanded you!� {See I John 2:3-5}
EVERYTHING would also include all the other commands in God's inspired Word from Acts to Revelation as per 2 Timothy 3:16: 4:2: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work...Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction."
If we really **LOVE** our brothers and sister in Christ we will lovingly teach them to obey all the approximately 400 commands of the NT with **LOVE** in the hope of countless eternal rewards when Jesus comes with great power with all His angels.
Revelation 22:112: Jesus says,"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done!?
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, For the Son of Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels, and **THEN** He will **REWARD** each person according to what he has done."
Ephesians 4:15: "Speaking the Truth in **LOVE** , we will in all things grow up into Him who is the Head, that is, Christ! From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in **LOVE** , as each part does its work."
Ephesians 3:17-19: "I pray that you, being rooted and established in **LOVE** may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the **LOVE** of Christ, and to know this **LOVE** that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God!!"
I John 4:7-12: Dear friends, let us **LOVE** one another, for **LOVE** comes from God. Everyone who **LOVES** has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not **LOVE** does not know God, because God is **LOVE**. This is how God showed His **LOVE**among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is **LOVE**, not that we **LOVED** God, but that He **LOVED** us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends,since God so **LOVED** us, we ought to **LOVE** one another. No one has ever seen God, but if we **LOVE** one another, God lives in us and His **LOVE** is made complete in us!
Romans 8:35,37-39: Who shall separate us from the **LOVE** of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?...We are more than conquerors through Him who **LOVED** us! For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the **LOVE** of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!!

Deuteronomy 18:17-19: The Lord said to me, "I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put My words in His mouth.

John 14:21,23,24: Jesus says, "Whoever has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me,....Anyone who loves Me will obey My teaching. My Father will love them, and We will come to him and make Our home with them. Anyone who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. {Like Hark} These words you hear are not My own; they belong to the Father who sent Me!!"
There are about 300 do's and 100 don'ts in the New Covenant of the New Testament of Love to be lovingly completed with the hope of countless eternal **REWARDS** for faithful and loving service.
Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, "**ALL AUTHORITY** in heaven and on earth has been given to **ME**. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED YOU**! And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age!!"
I Peter 1:18,19: For you know that was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were **REDEEMED** from the empty way of life handed down to you by your forefathers, but with the **PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST**, a Lamb without blemish or defect!!
I Peter 2:24,25: He Himself **BORE OUR SINS** in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness, by **HIS WOUNDS** we are healed{See Isaiah 53:5,6}!! For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls!!
Isaiah 53:5,6: But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed! We all, like sheep, have gone astray , each of us has turned to his own way, and **THE LORD HAS LAID ON HIM THE INIQUITY OF US ALL**!!
I John 2:1-5: My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have One who speaks to the Father in our defense--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the **ATONING SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS**, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world!! We know that we have come to know Him if we keep His {Jesus} commands. Whoever says, "I know Him," but does not do what He commands {Like Hark} is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys His word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in Him!!
Matthew 7:24-27: Jesus says, Everyone who hears these **WORDS OF MINE AND PUTS THEM INTO PRACTICE** is like a wise man who built his house on the Rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, yet it did not fall, because it had its foundations on the Rock. But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not put them into practice {Like Hark} is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house and it fell with a great crash!!"
Revelation 22:16,18,19: "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to give you this testimony **FOR THE CHURCHES**!.... I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book. If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book.{Including eternal Hell} And if anyone **TAKES WORDS AWAY** {Like Hark} from this book of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the Tree of Life and in the Holy City (The New Jerusalem}, which are described in this book!"
Titus 2:13,14: **WE** {excluding Hark} wait for the Blessed Hope--the glorious appearing of our **GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR**, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself that are His very own, eager to do what is good.

Revelation 1:4,5: Grace and peace to you from Him who is, and who was, and who is to come and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful Witness... To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins **BY HIS BLOOD**!!
NOTE: Jesus Christ our Savior is called the **LAMB** 30 times in the book of Revelation.
Revelation 5:6,9: Then I saw a **LAMB**, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne...You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals because You were slain , and **WITH YOUR BLOOD** You purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation!!

JESUS SAYS, "I CHOSE YOU SO THAT YOU MIGHT BEAR **FRUIT**, **FRUIT THAT WILL LAST**!"
"John 15:1-5,16: Jesus says, "I am the true vine, and My Father is the gardener, He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear **FRUIT** He prunes so that it will be even more **FRUITFUL**. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in Me as I also remain in you. No branch can bear **FRUIT** by itself; it must remain in the vine, Neither can you bear **FRUIT** unless you remain in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear **MUCH FRUIT**; apart from Me you can do nothing... You did not choose Me but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear **FRUIT**--**FRUIT** that will last!!!"
Ephesians 2:8,9: For it is by **GRACE** you have been saved, through **FAITH**�and this **NOT FROM YOURSELVES**, it is the **GIFT OF GOD**�not by works. So that no one can boast. For we are **GOD'S WORKMANSHIP**, created in Christ Jesus to do **GOOD WORKS**, which God prepared in advance for us to do!
Matthew 21:43: Jesus says to Israel, "The Kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a people who will produce **FRUIT**!"
Romans 7:4-6: So my brothers and sisters, you who died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that you might **BEAR FRUIT** for God. For when we were in the realm of the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we might bear fruit for death. But now, by dying to what bound us, we have been **RELEASED FROM THE LAW** so that we may serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
Luke 6:43-45: Jesus says, No good tree bears bad **FRUIT**, nor does a bad tree bear **GOOD FRUIT**. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart. ... For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of!"
Colossians 1:9,10: We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may please Him in every good work, **BEARING FRUIT** in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God!
Matthew 13:23: Jesus says, "But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the **WORD AND UNDERSTANDS IT**. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown."
Luke 8:15: Jesus says, "But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the **WORD**, retain it, and by perseverance produce a crop."

Philippians 1:22,23: For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go living in the body this will mean **FRUITFUL LABOR** for me!
Galatians 5:22,23: The **FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT** is love, joy, peace, forgiveness, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control!
2 Peter 1:3-11: His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. Through these He has given us very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption of the world caused by evil desires. For this reason, make every effort to add to your faith {A Free Gift} goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, **LOVE**. For if you possess these qualities in **INCREASING MEASURE**, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But whoever does not have them is nearsightecd and blind, forgetting that they have been forgiven of their past sins... Therefore, my brothers make **EVERY EFFORT** to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never fail, and you will receive a **RICH WELCOME**into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
I Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes in to strict training. They do it to get a **CROWN** that will not last; but we do it to get a **CROWN THAT WILL LAST FOREVER**! Therefore, I do not run like a man running aimlessly. I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize!
I Thessalonians 4:1: We instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this **MORE AND MORE**!!
2 Thessalonians 1:3: We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing **MORE AND MORE**!
Ephesians 3:7,11-16: To each one of us grace has been given as Christ appotioned it... So Christ Himself gives some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists and some to be pastors and teachers; to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of Him who is the **HEAD**, that is, Christ. From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work!!!
Romans 12:3-8: Do not think of yourselves more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourselves with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each one of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; If it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully!!
Corinthians 3:7-9: So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who watered have one purpose, and each will be **REWARDED** according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers, you are God's field, God's building!
Ephesians 6:8: Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will **REWARD** everyone for what ever good he does!
Revelation 22:12 Jesus says, �Behold I am coming soon! My **REWARD** is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done!�
Daniel 12:3: Those who are impart wisdom {NIV} will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever!!

Revelation 3:21: Jesus says, "To him who overcomes, I will give the right to **SIT WITH ME** on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne!!"
"The only thing that counts is **FAITH** expessing itself through Love Galatians 5:6."

The New Testament is constantly under attack, and its reliability and accuracy are often contested by critics. {Like Hark} If the critics want to disregard the New Testament, then they must also disregard other ancient writings by Plato, Aristotle, and Homer. This is because the New Testament documents are better-preserved and more numerous than any other ancient writings. Because they are so numerous, they can be cross checked for accuracy . . . and they are very consistent.
There are presently 5,686 Greek manuscripts in existence today for the New Testament. As you can see, there are thousands more New Testament Greek manuscripts than any other ancient writing. The internal consistency of the New Testament documents is about 99.5% textually pure. That is an amazing accuracy. In addition, there are over 19,000 copies in the Syriac, Latin, Coptic, and Aramaic languages. The total supporting New Testament manuscript base is over 24,000.
Taking all languages together, over 24,000 handwritten copies of the New Testament have been recovered. But there is more. Almost the entire New Testament could be reproduced by quotes from the ancient church fathers. �So extensive are these citations that if all other sources for our knowledge of the text of the New Testament were destroyed, they would be sufficient alone for the reconstruction of practically the entire New Testament�
Almost all biblical scholars agree that the New Testament documents were all written before the close of the First Century. If Jesus was crucified in A.D. 33, then that means the entire New Testament was completed within 63 years since Revelation was written in AD 96. This is important because it means there were plenty of people around when the New Testament documents were penned--people who could have contested the writings. In other words, those who wrote the documents knew that if they were inaccurate, plenty of people would have pointed it out. But, we have absolutely no ancient documents contemporary with the First Century that contest the New Testament texts.
The Christian has substantially superior criteria for affirming the New Testament documents than he does for any other ancient writing. It is good evidence on which to base the trust in the reliability of the New Testament.
The skepticism western culture has toward the Biblical record abounds. This attitude has its origin in our adversary. Satan desires to deceive us into thinking our own personal will is to be the standard for life. If Satan and Hark can have success in planting seeds of doubt regarding the veracity of Scripture, there is no limit on how far they can go in pushing his agenda of turning the hearts of men and women away from God.
In the end, we simply need to fall back on faith. We can rest in confidence that our sovereign and powerful God not only inspired the Biblical writers, but He has also providentially overseen its preservation in such a way that the Bible we have today is reliable. It is nothing less than the infallible, inerrant Word of God Himself. The preservation of the New Testament is a living testimony to the unmatched power and providence of God.
Luke 16:16: Jesus says, "The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John {The Baptist}. Since that time the **GOOD NEWS** of the Kingdom of God is being proclaimed, and everyone {Except Hark} is forcing their way into it!!"

John 14:23,24: Jesus says, "If anyone loves Me, He will **OBEY MY TEACHING**! My Father will love Him, and we will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent Me."
Revelation 1:1-3: The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must take place. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, who testifies to everything he saw--that is, the **WORD OF GOD** and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads the **WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY**, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it!!
Revelation 22:16,18,19: "I, Jesus. have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the Churches....

THE GREAT COMMISSION: Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, �All authority in heaven and on *EARTH has been given to Me {Not some RC Pope}.

And this is the **WORD** that was preached to you.
Matthew 24:35: Jesus says, Heaven and earth will pass away, but **MY WORDS WILL NEVER PASS AWAY**!"
I John 2:3-5: We know we have come to know Him {Jesus} if we obey His commands. The man who says, "I know Him," but does not do what He commands is a liar and the truth is not in him. But if anyone **OBEYS HIS WORD**, God's love is truly made complete in him!
Matthew 4:4: Jesus says, "Man does not live on bread alone, but on **EVERY WORD FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD**!"
Matthew 7:24,26: Jesus says, "Everyone who hears these **WORDS OF MINE** and **PUTS THEM INTO PRACTICE** is like a wise man who built his house on a Rock... But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand."
Luke 8:21: Jesus says, "My mother and brothers are those who hears **GOD'S WORD** and **PUTS THEM INTO PRACTICE!**"

This is to my Father's glory that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be My disciples!... You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit--fruit that will last!"
Luke 8:15: Jesus says, "But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the **WORD**, retain it, and by perseverance produce a crop."
John 17:17: Jesus prays to His Father, "Sanctify them by the Truth, **YOUR WORD IS TRUTH**!"

In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom, I give you this charge: **PREACH THE WORD**!! {**WHICH IS THE ENTIRE NEW COVENANT AND NEW TESTAMENT**!!}

**WE HAVE BEEN REDEEMED AND OUR SINS FORGIVEN BY THE **PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST**!!
Romans 4:5-8: To the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness! David says {In Psalm 32:1} the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God's credits righteousness **APART FROM WORKS**: "Blessed are those whose transgressions are covered. Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord will **NEVER** count against them!"
2 Corinthians 5:19,21: God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them... God made Him who had no sin to be **SIN FOR US**, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God!
Isaiah 1:18: The Lord says, "Though your sins are like scarlet they shall be as **WHITE AS SNOW**!"
Isaiah 53:5,6: He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and BY HIS WOUNDS WE ARE HEALED. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way, and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all!
Every born again Christian not including Hark believes Isaiah 53 is referring to Jesus as Peter confirms in I Peter 2:24,25:
I Peter 2:24,25: He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; "BY HIS WOUNDS WE ARE HEALED." For "You were like sheep going astray," but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls!
Hebrews 8:4,5,12,13: "The days are coming," declares the Lord, "When I will make a **NEW COVENANT** with the people of Israel... For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins **NO MORE**! By calling this Covenant **NEW** He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear!!
Jeremiah 31:31,34: "The days are coming," declares the Lord, "When I will make a **NEW COVENANT** with the people of Israel... For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins **NO MORE**!"
Luke 16:16: Jesus says, "The Law and the prophets were proclaimed until John {The Baptist}. Since that time, the Good News of the Kingdom of God is being proclaimed!"
Colossians 2:13,14: When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God **MADE YOU ALIVE WITH CHRIST**. He forgave us **ALL OUR SINS** having canceled the charge of our legal indebted ness, which stood against us and condemned us, He has taken it away, nailing it to the cross!!
Ephesians 1:4-8: In love He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will--to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the One He loves. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the **FORGIVENESS OF SINS**, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding!!
Hebrews 10:22,26-28: The law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness... Christ has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to **DO AWAY WITH SIN** by the sacrifice of Himself. Just as people are destined to die once and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him!!
Hebrews 10:5,8-10: When Christ came into the world, He said... "Sacrifices burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them!"-- though they were offered in accordance with the law. Then He said, "Here I am. I have come to do your will." He sets aside the first to establish the second {Covenant}. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ **ONCE FOR ALL**!!
I Peter 1:18,19: For you know that it was not with perishable things like silver and gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you by your ancestors, but with the **PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST**, a lamb without blemish or defect!!
Matthew 18:21,22;; Peter asked Jesus, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to 7 times? Jesus answered, "I tell you not 7 times but 77 times!!" {A NIV footnote adds or "70 times 7!}
Luke 11:1-4: The disciples said to Jesus, "Lord, teach us to pray." Jesus answered, "When you pray, say: "Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us!"
I John 1:8-10;2:1-6: If we claim to be without sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar and His word is not in us. My dear children, I write this to you that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. We know that we have come to know Him if we keep His commands. Whoever says, "I know Him," but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys His Word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in Him. Whoever claims to live in Him must live as Jesus did! {Which is impossible and is why we must confess our sins daily!}
Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, "**ALL AUTHORITY** in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING** I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always!!"

Two major hurricanes, unprecedented earthquake swarms, and wildfires roaring out of control all over the northwest United States � what else will go wrong next?
When I originally pointed to the month of September as a critical time, I had no idea that we would see so many catastrophic natural disasters during this time frame as well. Hurricane Harvey just broke the all-time record for rainfall in the continental United States, Hurricane Irma is so immensely powerful that it has been called �a lawnmower from the sky�, vast stretches of our country out west are literally being consumed by fire, and the magnitude-8.2 earthquake that just hit Mexico was completely unexpected. As I have stated so many times before, our planet is becoming increasingly unstable, but most people simply do not understand what is happening.
My good friend Zach Drew posted the best summary of the major disasters that we have been experiencing so far this month that I have seen anywhere�
California is on fire.
Oregon is on fire.
Washington is on fire.
British Columbia is on fire.
Alberta is on fire.
Montana is on fire.
Nova Scotia is on fire.
Greece is on fire.
Brazil is on fire.
Portugal is on fire.
Algeria is on fire.
Tunisia is on fire.
Greenland is on fire.
The Sakha Republic of Russia is on fire.
Siberia is on fire.
Texas is under water
India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, experience record monsoons and massive death toll.
Sierra Leone and Niger experience massive floods, mudslides, and deaths in the thousands.
Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia are crushed in the death grip of a triple digit heat wave, dubbed Lucifer.
Southern California continues to swelter under triple digit heat that shows no sign of letting up.
In usually chilly August, the city of San Francisco shatters all-time record at 106 degrees, while it reaches 115 degrees south of the city. Northern California continues to bake in the triple digits.
(()) Yellowstone volcano is hit with earthquake swarm of over 2,300 tremors since June.
(()) Mexico earthquake 8.2 imminent tsunami. Beach lines are receded at least 50+ meters
And last but not least an X10 C.M.E solar flare two nights ago. The highest recorded solar flare ever!
Some are describing what is happening to us as a �perfect storm�, and they are wondering if even more major disasters are coming in the very near future.
Harvey and Irma could be a breaking point. At $556 billion, the Houston metropolitan area�s economy is bigger than Sweden�s. New Jersey could easily fit inside the region�s sprawling footprint, where Harvey dumped 34 trillion gallons of water, as much as the three costliest floods in Texas history combined. The Harvey response alone eventually could double the $136 billion in government aid spent after Hurricane Katrina flooded New Orleans.
We won�t know the true extent of the damage that has been caused down in Florida for many days, but we do know that much of the state is already without power�
More than 3.3 million homes and businesses and counting have lost power in Florida as Hurricane Irma moves up the peninsula. The widespread outages stretch from the Florida Keys all the way into all of Florida. Florida Power & Light, the state�s largest electric utility, said there were nearly 1 million customers without power in Miami-Dade County alone. The power outages are expected to increase as the storm edges further north. There are roughly 7 million residential customers in the state.
In the end, the federal government will likely step in and spend a lot of money that it does not have to rebuild and restore the communities that Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma have destroyed.
At some point all of this debt will simply become completely unsustainable.
Of course the major disasters will just inevitably keep on coming. As Politico has pointed out, major natural disasters seem to just keep on getting bigger, and they seem to be hitting us more frequently than in the past�
The disasters are arriving with greater frequency. Counting Harvey, the U.S. this year has experienced 10 weather-related events each costing $1 billion or more.
But it is absolutely imperative that we all begin to understand that something has fundamentally changed. Our world has become much less stable, and �apocalyptic events� are starting to hit us one after another.
Matthew 24:3,6-13; 29-34: The disciples asked Jesus, "What will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age?" Jesus answered, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines, {Luke 21:10 adds "pestilences"} and earthquakes in various places. All theses are beginning of birth pains! {Birth pains usually last almost 9 months and May 14th, 2018 is the 70th anniversary of the rebirth of Israel on May 14th, 1948 ??} "Then {At the beginning of the Great Tribulation} you will be handed over and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of Me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved!.... Immediately after the distress of those {1260} days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not gives its light and the stars will fall from the sky! {Luke 21:28 adds "When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because you redemption is drawing near!"} "Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the 4 winds, from one end of the heavens to the other!" {Mark 13:27 adds "From the ends of the earth!"}
"The only thing that counts is **FAITH** expessing itself through Love Galatians 5:6."

**INTERESTING **70 YEAR** TIME PERIODS IN BIBLE PROPHECY**!!
It is interesting to note that the Kings of Israel ruled 490 Years or **70 YEARS** times **7** years, which was immediately followed by a **70 YEAR** exile of the Jews, which was then immediately followed by the amazing prophesy of the **70 YEARS** times **7** years Prophecy in Daniel 9:24-27; which will end with the 2nd coming of Jesus and **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS**!! Also in the prophecy of the **70 YEARS** times **7** years it states in Daniel 7:26 "The people of the {Roman} ruler who will come will destroy the city {Jerusalem} and the Sanctuary." This prophecy was fulfilled and the Jews exiled again in AD **70** until the rebirth of Israel at 2 minutes after midnight, May 14th, 1948!! The **70 YEAR** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel will take place at 2 minutes after midnight on **MAY 14TH, 2018**!!
Daniel 9:24-27: Seventy "sevens" {**70 YEARS** times 7 or 490 years} are decreed for your people and your holy city to **ANOINT THE MOST HOLY** {After 483 Years}, to **ATONE FOR WICKEDNESS** {After 486 1/2 years} and to bring in **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS** {On the Last Day of the Last 1260-day Tribulation or 490 total years}...From the issuing of the decree {By King Cyrus--See Isaiah 44:28} until the Anointed One comes {On October 5th AD 29}, there will be 62 7's and 7 7's {Or 69 7's or 483 years}... Then {3 1/2 years or 1278 days later} the Anointed One will be cut off...He will confirm a Covenant with many for one 7 {Or the Last 7 years}. In the middle of the 'seven' {After 3 1/2 years} He {The Anointed One} will put an **END TO SACRIFICES** and offering.{On April 3-5 AD 33} {And then after a long pause} He will set up an abomination that causes desolation {666} for 1260 days, until the decreed end is poured out on him at the 2nd Coming of Jesus {As per Rev 19:19,20 and 2 Thess 2:8} Which will bring in **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS** on the Last Day of the **70 YEARS** times 7 Prophecy!
Luke 3:21,22: When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on Him {ANOINTING} in bodily form like a dove. And a Voice came from heaven, "You are My Son, whom I love, with You I am well pleased!" This Anointing and Coming of the Anointed One took place after 69 7's or 483 years and then the Anoited One **ATONED FOR WICKEDNESS** And put an end to all **SACRIFICES FOR SIN** 3 1/2 years later after 69 1/2 7's or 486 1/2 years! And then after the 3 1/2 year Great Tribulation the 2nd Coming of the Anointed One will bring in **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS**!!
Matthew 18::21,22: Peter asked Jesus, "How many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not **7** times, but **70** times **7 times**!" {See NIV footnote}
Jesus is called the Son of David 17 times and David lived exactly **70 YEARS** as per 2 Samuel 5:4.
Acts 1:6,7: The disciples asked Jesus, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" Jesus said , "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by His own authority."
Luke 21:5,6,23,24: Some of His disciples were remarking about how the Temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, "As for what you see here, the time will come {In AD **70**} when not one stone will be left on another, every one of them will be thrown down!... There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations {In AD **70**}. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are **FULFILLED**!"
This prophecy was **FULFILLED** and The kingdom was restored to Israel at 2 minutes after midnight on May 14th, AD 1948. It is interesting to note that **70 YEARS** after 2 minutes after midnight, May 14th, 1948 will be 2 minutes after midnight, on** MAY 14TH, 2018**!!???
By a very interesting coincidence this prophesy and the rising of Jesus to heaven took place exactly 40 days after the Resurrection of Jesus when our Savior put an end to all sacrifices for sin in the middle of the last **7** years of the **70 YEARS** times **7** years !! The Resurrection of Jesus took place on April 5th, AD 33 and 40 Bible days after April 5th, AD 33 would be **ASCENSION DAY** and would have been on sundown, May 13th AD 33 to sundown, May 14th, AD 33!! And so 2 minutes after midnight on May 14th, AD 1948 is on **ASCENSION DAY** and **70 YEARS** later at 2 minutes after midnight on **MAY 14TH, 2018** would also take place on **ASCENSION DAY**!!
Acts 1:1-3; 6-11: I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach until the **DAY** He was taken up to heaven... After His suffering {On April 3-5 AD 33}, He showed Himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a period of **FORTY DAYS** {Until ASCENSION DAY** which was from sundown, May 13th to sundown, May 14th AD 33} and spoke about the kingdom of God...So when they met together, they asked Him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" Jesus said to them, "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by His own authority {Which took place 2 minues after midnight on May 14th, 1948}... After He said this, He was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid Him from their sight . They were looking intently up into the sky as He was going, when suddenly **TWO MEN** {Moses & Elijah} dressed in white stood beside them. "Men of Galilee," they said, "Why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven!!" {On the Last Day of the **70 YEARS** times **7**; when he will bring in **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS**!!}
Numbers 28:16: �On the 14th day of the 1st month the Lord�s Passover is to be held.� Exodus 12:6,7,12,13: �Take care of them {The Passover Lambs} until the 14th day of the month when all the people of Israel must slaughter them {See Lev 23:5} at Twilight {Just after sundown to nightfall}. Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the doorframes of their houses. On that same night I will strike down the firstborn of the Egyptians� but when I see the blood I will PASS OVER you.� Deut 16:1: �Observe the month of ABIB and celebrate the PASS OVER of the Lord your God, because in the month of ABIB He brought you out of Egypt by night.� Lev 23:6: �On the 15th day of that month the Lord's 7-day Feast of Unleavened Bread begins.�
Luke 22:7,8: Then came the day on which the Passover Lamb �Had� to be sacrificed. Jesus said, �Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.� Christ became our Passover Lamb on Passover Day! 1 Cor 5:7: �For Christ our PASSOVER LAMB has been sacrificed.� Whereas the Jews {who were following the evil Babylonian moon calendar} held their Passover on the 15th of Nisan {Which always occurs on the night of a full moon} and observed the Passover on the WRONG DAY as per John 18:28: �Then the Jews led Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman Governor {Pilate}. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness the Jews did not enter the palace; for they wanted to be able to eat the PASSOVER!!� Which would have been the day �AFTER� Jesus correctly held the Passover on the 14th of ABIB which God had commanded.
So we can assume that the month of ABIB is different from the Babylonian moon month of Nisan and therefore has nothing to do with the moon. When does the first month of the Bible Year called ABIB begin??
Many Bible scholars believe that it may begin of the first day of SPRING or sundown March 20th to sundown March 21st. ABIB is the Hebrew word for SPRING. And so the 14th Day of ABIB can also be translated the 14th day of SPRING!!
And so Jesus became our Passover Lamb on Passover day which is always the 14th day of the month of Abib and is always from sundown, April 2nd to sundown, April 3rd And the Resurrection Day of Jesus is always on the 16th of Abib which is always from sundown, April 4th to sundown April 5th each and every year. And **ASCENSION DAY** is always 40 days after Resurrection Day which is from sundown May 13th to sundown May 14th each and every year. And so **ASCENSION DAY** is 56 days Or **7 X 7 + 7 DAYS** of the Bible Year. And so midnight May 14th, 1948 is 56th or **7 X 7 + 7 DAYS** of the Bible Year and the **70TH** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel at midnight, May 14th, 2018 is also **7 X 7 + 7 DAYS** after the first day of the Bible year.
1260 days after the **70**TH Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel on **MAY 14TH, 2018** would be on **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021** and the **LAST DAY** would be **OCTOBER 24TH 2021 to **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021. **OCTOBER 24TH**, is exactly 217 days after the first day of the Bible year on March 21st. And so **OCTOBER 24TH, 2021** is exactly **7** 30-day Bible months plus **7** days after the first day of the Bible year when the **7**th angel may sound the **7**th and last trumpet at the second Coming of Jesus who will open the **7** SEALS of the End-Times and who will bring the **7th** DAY REST for the people of God. {Read Revelation 5:9 and Hebrews 4:9} **Jesus has {*7*} horns and {*7*} eyes which are the {*7*} spirits of God sent out into all the earth.{See Rev 5:6} and {*7*} mighty angels who stand before the throne of God.
**INTERESTING SPECULATIVE QUESTION**??
Will something interesting happen related to the **70 YEARS** times **7** Prophecy; take place exactly **70 YEARS** after the rebirth of Israel at 2 minues after midnight on **MAY 14TH, 2018**?? Such as the beginning of the Last half of the **70 YEARS** times **7**.{The 1260-day Great Tribulation} or the coming of God's two Israeli witnesses {Moses and Elijah} for their 1260-day testimony; or the signs that will take place shortly before the Great Tribulation??? This, of course, is just a very interesting **SPECULATION**!
If for example the 1260-day Great Tribulation begins on the **70TH** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel at 2 minutes after midnight on**MAY 14TH, 2018** which is **7 X 7 +7** days of the Bible year; then it would end 1260 days later on 2 minutes after midnight on **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021** and the **LAST DAY** would be from 2 minutes after midnight on October 24th 2021 to 2 minutes ater midnight on October 25th 2021. And sundown October 24th 2021 is exactly **7** months and **7** days of the Bible year.when the **7** angel may sound the **7**th and Last Trumpet. Sundown, October 24th is exactly 217 days after sundown, March 21st and 217 days are **7** 30-day Bible months plus **7** days and may be the Last Day of the **70 7's** Prophecy which will bring in **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS**! As we have shown The **70TH** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel is on May 14th, 2018 which is also **ASCENSION DAY** and the 56th day which is also **7 X 7 + 7** days of the Bible year!!
Immediately after the Resurrection Day of the saints; mentioned in I Thessalonians 4:16,17; we read in I Thessalonians 5:4,5: But **YOU, BROTHERS**, are not in darkness so that **THIS DAY** should surprise you like a thief. You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness!!
Revelation 3:3: Jesus says, "Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But ***IF*** you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you!!"
When the 1260-day Great Tribulation begins or the 1260-day testimony of Moses and Elijah begins 1263 1/2 days before the Last Day; the saints will then know the exact Last Day when Jesus will come with **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS** which will begin on the Last Day of the **70 YEARS** times 7 !!
Question? Why did Jesus reduce the Great Tribulation or last half of the Last 7 years in Daniel 9:27 from 3 1/2 years or 1278 days to 1260-days or 42 30-day months?
Matthew 24:21-22: Jesus says, "For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now {See Daniel 12:1,2}--and never to be equaled again. If those {1278} days had not been **CUT SHORT**, no one would survive, bur for the sake of the elect those {1278 } days will be shortened!" {to 1260 days} And so the 1278-day Great Tribulation and reign of **666** will be shortened by 18 or **6+6+6** days.
By comparing Revelation 12:6 with Revelation 12:14 we know that 1260 days and time {360 days} times {720 days} and 1/2 a time {180 days} is the exact same period of time. And by comparing Revelation 13:5 with Daniel 7:25 we know that 42 30-day months and time {12 months} times {24 months} and 1/2 a time {6 months} is the exact same period of time! And therefore 1260 days and 42 30-day months is also the exact same period of time!
**WHAT SIGNS WILL TAKE PLACE SHORTLY BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE 1260-DAY GREAT TRIBULATION**??
**ARE SOME OF THESE SIGNS OF THE END-TIMES TAKING PLACE RIGHT NOW!!**??
Matthew 24:3-6,9: The disciples asked Jesus, "What will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age??" Jesus answered, "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, claiming: 'I am the Christ;' and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen but the end is still to come." {Luke 21:11 adds: Jesus says, "There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven!"} "Then {During the 1260-day Tribulation} you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by **ALL NATIONS** because of Me!"
2 Timothy 3:1-5: But mark this: There will be terrible times **IN THE LAST DAYS** People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God--having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
I Timothy 4:1-2: The Spirit say that **IN LATER TIMES** some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.
Daniel 12:4: Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll **UNTIL THE TIME OF THE END**! **MANY WILL GO HERE AND THERE** to **INCREASE KNOWLEDGE**!!
The **INCREASE IN KNOWLEDGE** and inventions in the last 110 years through Worldwide **RADIO, MOVIES, TELEPHONE, TELEVISION** and the **INTERNET** has been unbelievable compared to all the knowledge and inventions before that time!!
**MANY PEOPLE GOING HERE AND THERE** and everywhere has fantastically increased in the past 115 years with amazing **AUTOMOBILES, MOTORCYCLES, BUSSES, TRAINS and AEROPLANES**!!
Matthew 24:15: Jesus says, This Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the **WHOLE WORLD** as a testimony to **ALL NATIONS** and **THEN THE END WILL COME**!"
The preaching of the Gospel throughout the **WHOLE WORLD** with the help of radio, television and the internet; to even remote islands in the Pacific has just recently been **COMPLETED**!!
**WHAT PROPHECIES CONCERNING THE JEWS, ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM HAVE BEEN FULFILLED, ARE BEING FULFILLED OR WILL BE FULFILLED**??
**WHEN WAS THE KINGDOM RESTORED TO ISRAEL**??
It is interesting to note that the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in the Olivet prophecies in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 are only discussed by Jesus in Luke 21:20-24. All the other prophecies are related to the Great Tribulation, the Second Coming of Jesus and the Judgment of all the saved and lost in Matthew 25:31-46.
Luke 21:5-7,20,:23,24: Some of the disciples were remarking about how the Temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, "As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another, every one will be thrown down." "Teacher," they asked, "When will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?".... Jesus answered, "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near... There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." {Here Jesus confirms that there will come a time when the Jews will again rule Jerusalem when the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled}
Matthew 21:42: Jesus said to the Jews, "the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit!"
Daniel 9:25-27: From the issuing of the decree {By King Cyrus on October 5th, 455 BC} to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the Ruler comes there will be 7 7's {49 years} and 62 7's [434 years} {For a total of 483 years on October 5th, AD 29} Jerusalem will be rebuilt but in times of trouble {49 years after Cyrus's decree or 406 BC} After the 62 7's (3 1/2 years After His coming on April 3-5, AD 33}, the Anointed One will be cut off. The {Roman} people of the ruler who will come will destroy Jerusalem and the Sanctuary {in AD 70}. He {The Anointed One} will confirm a Covenant with many for one 7. In the middle of the 7 {3 1/2 years after His Anointing} He will put an end to **SACRIFICE** and offering {For sin} He will set up an Abomination that causes desolation {666}.{For 42 months} until the decreed end is poured out on him {See Rev 19:20 and 2 Thess 2:8} {The Anointed One gave us a New Covenant for 3 1/2 years after His first Coming and then prophesied of a 42 month Great Tribulation immediately before His 2nd Coming in the Olivet prophesies and in the Revelation of Jesus Christ} {The last 3 1/2 years or 1278 days was shortened to 1260 days or 42 {30-day} months as per Matthew 24:21,22}
Daniel 9:24: 70 7's {490 years} are decreed to to **ANOINT THE MOST HOLY** {After 69 7's or 483 years}, to **ATONE FOR WICKEDNESS** {After 69 1/2 7's or 486 1/2 years} and to bring in **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS** {After 70 7's on the Last Day at the Second Coming of Jesus}!
Acts 1:6,7: The disciples asked Jesus, "Lord, are you at this time going to **RESTORE THE KINGDOM TO ISRAEL**?" Jesus answered, It is not for you to know the times and dates the Father has set by His own authority!" {The kingdom was restored to Israel 2 minutes after midnight on May 14th, 1948!}
**WHEN WILL ISRAEL {*THE FIG TREE*} AGAIN BEAR FRUIT**?? **THEY WILL SAY, "THE LORD IS OUR GOD!"
Zechariah 13:8,9: In the whole land," declares the Lord, "Two thirds will be struck down and perish, yet one-third will be left in it. This third I will bring into the fire, I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on My name and I will answer them. I will say, "They are My people", and they will say, "The Lord is our God!"
Romans 11 :25,26: I do no want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers , so that you will not be conceited. Israel {**THE FIG TREE**} has experienced a hardening in part **UNTIL THE FULL NUMBER OF GENTILES COME IN**.. And so all Israel will be saved!! {The one third who are left during the Great Tribulation}
**WHEN WILL THE FULL NUMBER OF GENTILES COME IN**?? This will take place during the 1260-day Great Tribulation as per Revelation 7:9,13-15: There before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from **EVERY NATION, TRIBE, PEOPLE AND LANGUAGE**, standing before the throne in front of the **LAMB**. They were wearing white robes. ... Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they, and where did they come from?" I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have **COME OUT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION**, they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the **LAMB**. Therefore, they are before the throne of God."
And just before this event when the full number of Gentiles are saved; **144,000 JEWS WILL BE SAVED. 12,000 EACH FROM THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL**.as per Revelation 7:5-8. These 144,000 Jews with the help of 2 Jewish witnesses {Moses and Elijah} will help in converting these Jews.
Jeremiah 8:13: "I will take away their {Israel's} harvest", declares the Lord, "There will be no more **FIGS** on the tree. and their **LEAVES** will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them."
Matthew 21:18,19: Jesus was hungry. Seeing a **FIG TREE** by the road, He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then He said, " May you never bear fruit again."
Joel 1:11,12: The harvest of the field is destroyed. The vine is dried up and the **FIG TREE** is withered.
Hosea 9:10: The Lord said, "When I found Israel..it was like seeing the early fruit on the **FIG TREE**!"
Revelation 6:13 And the stars of the sky {See Matthew 24:29-31} fell to earth as late **FIGS** drop from a **FIG TREE**when shaken by a strong wind!
**JESUS SAYS, "THIS **GENERATION** WILL CERTAINLY NOT PASS AWAY UNTIL ALL THESE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED**
Matthew 24:32-34: Jesus says, "Now learn this lesson from the **FIG TREE**{ISRAEL}. As soon as its twigs get tender and its **LEAVES COME OUT** {Starting at May 14th,1948}, you know that summer {The Great Tribulation} is near {When the **FIG TREE ISRAEL WILL BEAR FRUIT!}. Even so, when you see these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, **THIS GENERATION** will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened!" {This **FUTURE GENERATION** must and will include all of the Olivet prophecies concerning the Great Tribulation and the 2nd Coming of Jesus!!}
Psalm 90:10: Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout **ALL GENERATIONS**...The length of our days is **70 YEARS**!!
**THE GENERATION OF THE NEW BIRTH OF ISRAEL BEGAN ON MAY 14TH, 1948 AND THE **70TH** GENERATION ANNIVERSARY WILL BE ON MAY 14TH, 2018!!
ISAIAH 11:12: **HE WILL RAISE A BANNER FOR THE NATIONS AND GATHER THE EXILES OF ISRAEL. HE WILL ASSEMBLE THE SCATTERED PEOPLE OF JUDAH FROM THE **FOUR QUARTERS OF THE EARTH**
There are many prophecies concerning the Jews in the end times, many of which began to be fulfilled in the 20th Century. One of which is their **WORLDWIDE GATHERING** {Isaiah 11:12}. In 1900 there were only 40,000 Jews in Palestine. By the end of World War II that number had risen to 800,000. As of May, 2016, there were **6,450,000** Jews in Israel who have come from all over the world or the **FOUR QUARTERS OF THE EARTH**!.
According to www.Jewishvirtuallibrary.org there is a population growth rate of 1.7 % a year of Jews in Israel which would be 3.4% in 2 years. If you multiply 3.4 % times 6,450,000 you would have about 216,000 more Jews in Israel by May of 2018. 6,450,000 plus 216,000 equals **6,66*0,000** Jews in Israel by **MAY 14 2018**! One third of the Jews in the land will be saved during the Great Tribulation And so about 2,220,000 Jews will be saved. It is estimated that only about 4,000 Jews in Israel are saved at the present time.
The prophecies concerning the Jews before the 1260- Day Great Tribulation are the **LEAVES** of the **FIG TREE** which is Israel, But the **FIG TREE** will not bear **FRUIT** until one third of the Jews are saved during the Great Tribulation which may begin on the **70TH** ANNIVERSARY of the rebirth of Israel!
Jeremiah 29:10-13: This is what the Lord says, "When **70 YEARS** are completed I will come to you and fulfill My precious promise. For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray too Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me, and find me when you seek Me with all yourt heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord!"
**ANOTHER INTERESTING PROPHECY** is the Jewish re-occupation of all of **JERUSALEM** which occurred on June 7, 1967 during the miraculous Six Day War. Midnight, **MAY 14TH, 2018** is **49 {**7X7**} YEARS** plus **707 DAYS** {**70+7**} after June 7th, 1967!!
Zechariah 8:4,5,7: This is what the Lord almighty says, "Once again men and women of ripe old age will sit in the streets of **JERUSALEM**, each with cane in hand because of his age. The city streets will be filled with boys and girls playing there!... I will save My people from the countries of the east and the west. I will bring them back to live in **JERUSALEM**!"
**ANOTHER INTERESTING PROPECY** is the one whose fulfillment we are witnessing today � the re-focusing of world politics upon the nation of Israel. All the nations of the world are coming against Israel over the issue of the control of the nation�s capital � the city of **JERUSALEM**{Zechariah 12:1-3}. The Vatican wants the city put under its control. The United Nations wants it to be internationalized. The European Union is demanding it be divided between the Arabs and the Jews. The Arabs want all of it. Donald Trump promises that he will make **JERUSALEM** the capital of Israel and all the Muslim nations are threatening war if this takes place, and this war could escalate into a **WORLD WAR AND WORLD CHAOS**!!
Zechariah 12:1-3 The Lord declares, "I AM GOING TO MAKE **JERUSALEM** A CUP THAT SENDS ALL THE SURROUNDING NATIONS REELING*. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem, on that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her!!"
**ANOTHER INTERESTING PROPHECY** is found in Jeremiah 29:18: This is what the Lord Almighty says {About Jews} "I WILL MAKE THEM ABHORRENT TO ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE EARTH AND AN OBJECT OF CURSING AND TERROR, OF SCORN AND REPROACH AMONG THE NATIONS!"
On December 23, 2016, the **UNITED NATIONS** of the world severely condemned Israel for its settlements! December 23rd, 2016 is exactly 507 days before the **70TH YEAR** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel on **MAY 14TH, 2018**. 72 weeks or 72X7 days would take up 504 days leaving 3 days or 72 hours or **66+6 hours**. And so the time period from December 23rd, 2016 to **MAY 14TH, 2018** and the possible coming of **666** would be exactly **66+6** weeks plus **66+6** hours.
On December 23rd, 2016 Barak Hussein Obama abandoned America's commitment to Israel's security and the end of their democracy against Muslim aggression. In an act of cowardly venom Obama had the United States abstain from a United Nations resolution--and thereby effectively enact a United Nations resolution that completely condemns Israel and their settlements. A resolution that undertakes to render Israel indefensible.
This very ridiculous unfair resolution greatly increases the tension and chaos in the Middle East and gives the Muslim countries an excuse to increase their hostility toward Israel.
On January 24th, 2017 Israel announced that it was going to build 2,500 New Settlements on Palestinian territory which absolutely contradicts the UN resolution and would further escalate the tensions in the Middle East; and gives the Muslim countries yet another excuse to increase their hostility toward Israel.
According to the United Nations human rights body, Israel is the worst human rights violater in the world today. That is the result of the latest session of the Human Rights Council which wrapped up in Geneva on March 24th, 2017 by adopting 5 times more resolutions condemning Israel than any other country on earth!! In its history the Council has condemned Israel more than any other of the 192 UN countries. Comparative totals after the UN sessions program tell the story: :Israel--78 condemning resolutions and decisions Syria--29; North Korea--9; ISIS--8 and Iran--6. As for Russia and China there is nothing at all {**ZERO**??}. Think of it this way: 500,000 dead in Syria, forced starvation and mass torture in North Korea. Systematic, lethal oppression, amazing atrocities, and sponsored terrorism in Iran and ISIS, and an elementary lack of basic freedoms and oppression affecting over a billion people in Russia and China. But according to the UN Human Rights Council, the little democracy Israel is by far the main evil problem in the world???
**GOD INSPIRED **32 JEWS** TO WRITE EVERY WORD IN THE OT WORD OF GOD AND GOD INSPIRED **8 JEWS** TO WRITE EVERY WORD IN THE NT WORD OF GOD**!!
**OUR ETERNAL HOME IS CALLED THE **NEW JERUSALEM** AND ON ITS 12 GATES WILL BE THE NAMES OF THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL AND ON ITS 12 FOUNDATIONS WILL BE THE NAMES OF THE 12 JEWISH APOSTLES {PAUL instead of Judas}** {See Revelation 21:2 and Revelation 21:12 and Revelation 21:14}
Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is called the **SON OF DAVID** 17 times in the NT and in Revelation Jesus is called **THE ROOT AND OFFSPRING OF DAVID** and **THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH** {See Revelation 22::16 and Revelation 5:5!}
In John 4:22 Jesus declares "**SALVATION IS FROM THE JEWS**"
**COULD DONALD TRUMP BE PRESIDENT WHEN THE GREAT TRIBULATION BEGINS**??
As you know **70 7's** and **666** are very prominent numbers in Bible prophecy. Someone just pointed out to me that Donald Trump was born on June 14th, 1946 at 10:54 AM which I checked out. Donald Trump became the most powerful world leader when he was inaugurated at Noon on January 20th, 2017. And so Donald Trump was exactly **70 YEARS** plus **7 MONTHS** plus **6** days plus **66** minutes old {Or **6+66**} when he became the most powerful leader in the world!
Donald Trump became the most powerful leader in the world at noon, on January 20th, 2017; and the **70TH YEAR** anniversary of the rebirth of Israel will be at 2 minutes after midnight on **MAY 14TH, 2018**. Noon, January 20th, 2017 until Noon, May 14th, 2018 is exactly 479 days and noon, May 14th, 2018 would begin the 480th day. **66** weeks or 66X7 equals 462 days; which leaves another 18 or **6+6+6** days!!! And so Donald Trump became the most powerful leader in the world exactly **66** weeks plus **6+6+6** days before the speculative coming off **666** who will then become the most powerful leader in the world.
Trump is certainly not a saint. About 80 % of the Evangelicals voted for him because they were afraid that Hillary would select the next 2 or 3 Chief Justices who would be very tough on Evangelicals who preached against gay marriage etc. and possibly remove their tax free status.
However, Trump is just as evil as Hillary or Obama. Trump's favorite pastor was the famous liberal, Norman Vincent Peale who made fun of people who believe in the inspiration of God's Word or the Divinity of Jesus or eternal hell etc. He also taught that it is moral to have a huge ego and you don't have to repent of your sins. Trump has repeatedly said that he has never repented of anything he did. Trump owned a gambling casino which really steal people's money with tremendous odds. His casino also had very lewd shows with topless women doing very sinful gyrations.
Norman Vincent Peale was Trump's Pastor for 25 years and married Trump and his 2 sisters, Mr Peale's famous book **The Power of Positive Thinking** is the most liberal Christian book ever written. In his book Mr. Peale refuses to allow his followers to hear, speak or see any evil. For him real human suffering does not exist; there is no such thing as murderous rage, suicidal despair, cruelty, lust, greed, mass poverty, or illiteracy. All these things he would dismiss as trivial mental processes which will evaporate if thoughts are simply turned into more cheerful channels.
Trump has had 3 wives. In the last year of his first wife he had a very open adulterous relationship with Marla Maples, his future 2nd wife, and he then made the cover of Playboy magazine. Trump then married his 3rd and last wife who is 25 years younger. Trump became famous for bragging to a TV reporter that he could grab women's crotches and get away with it because he is so rich, handsome and famous. About 6 months ago 10 women claimed that they were sexually harassed or fondled by Trump. When someone objects to his vulgar language or ideas he is very good at viciously attacking them and he never turns the other cheek as Jesus has commanded. Trump is very rich and loves and worships the **ALMIGHTY DOLLAR**!
Trump's favorite preacher for the past 15 years has been Paula White and she is now in the **INNER CIRCLE** of Trump's advisers. Paula White promotes pornography for married people and declares that divorce is a **GIFT FROM GOD**. Paula White has made a fortune taking money from gullible people with her Prosperity Gospel. Paula White has also had an adulterous affair with Benny Hinn who is the king of those preaching the evil Prosperity Gospel.
I Timothy 6:9,10: People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and many foolish desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil!.
Over 15 years, radio shock jock Howard Stern and his buddy Donald Trump periodically carried on like towel-snapping �bros� in a locker room, rating women�s tops and bottoms, debating whether oral sex is �important,� and egging each other on about whether they would like to go to bed with famous women from Cindy Crawford to Diane Sawyer.
�You could�ve gotten her, right?� Stern asked Trump on-air shortly after Princess Diana�s death in 1997. �You could�ve nailed her.� �I think I could have,� Trump said. How about singer Mariah Carey? �Would you bang her?� Stern asked. Trump replied, �I would do it without hesitation.� Trump�s crude talk on-air with Stern between 1990 and 2005 was part of an image the businessman cultivated as a Manhattan playboy who had so many women that he barely had time to sleep. He was often seen at trendy nightclubs with different women, appeared on the cover of Playboy magazine, wrote in his books about all the women chasing him and publicly boasted about his sex life.
Appearing at an Christian gathering in Cleveland on July 19th, 2017; GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump was put under the protection of God by a bevy of evangelicals after the host of the conference said the New York businessman needed to be protected from a �concentrated Satanic attack.� Those who placed hands on Trump included Kenneth Copeland and Rodney Howard-Browne.
Rodney Howard-Browne was raised in a Pentecostal family as a young boy in South Africa. In 1987 the family immigrated to the United States. According to Christianity Today, Browne's ministry is known for its passion for evangelism and ministries of restoration, accompanied by "signs and wonders" characterized by baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire, physical healings and miracles, with frequent manifestations of and "falling under the power" during his evangelistic services. This gave rise to the term "holy laughter", and "holy ghost bartender", which refer to audience members spontaneously loudly during his services.{???}
Kenneth Copeland is an American author, musician, public speaker, and televangelist associated with the Charismatic Movement. Copeland has been identified with preaching a prosperity and abundance message, commonly referred to as the prosperity gospel, which has been criticized by various denominations; and is worth about 40 million dollars. Televangelist Kenneth Copeland has warned Christians that if they don�t support Donald Trump, they will be punished by God. �If Christians don�t support Trump, they are risking the wrath of God,� said Copeland in an appearance on Trinity Broadcasting Network. �Trump has been chosen by God, and by rejecting him, they are rejecting God. They could be punished with barrenness, poverty or even having a gay child.�{???}
Trump and Putin and China are now by far the *THREE** most Powerful and Evil leaders in the world and have about 90 % of the world's nuclear bombs and would most likely embrace the coming of the evil 666!
THE AMAZING PROPHECY OF ST MALACHY IN AD 1139 THAT THERE WILL BE 112 POPES AFTER AD 1139 AND THAT DURING THE REIGN OF THE 112TH POPE THE END OF THE WORLD WILL COME. **POPE FRANCIS** IS THE 112TH POPE!!
St. Malachy was the Archbishop of Armagh, Ireland and a very good archbishop who always helped the poor. He claimed he experienced a vision while visiting Rome in 1139 AD. He said he saw every pope that would exist from the time of his vision until the last pope. The last pope would be the 112th from the time of his vision. Malachy also stated that the last pope would be a very evil pope and that God would judge everyone and the city of Rome would be destroyed during the reign of this last pope.
When John Paul II died on April 2, 2005, articles were written pointing out that the pope who would replace John Paul II would be the 111th pope. Benedict XVI was 78 years of age when he began his papacy on April 19th, 2005. Because of his advanced age, it was obvious that his reign as the Bishop of Rome could not last too long. Everyone understood the next pope, according to St. Malachy, would be the last pope. Malachy also said the church would be judged, Rome would be destroyed, and implied that the end of the world would come during this final papacy. The question on everyone�s mind was: How long till the 112th pope?
On February 11, 2013, Pope Benedict shocked the world by announcing his intention to resign from the papacy. This was the first resignation of a pope while in office in over 600 years. Benedict said that, at the age of 85, he no longer had the strength to execute the duties of leading the Roman Catholic Church. It was time to elect the 112th pope foretold in the vision of St. Malachy! Overlooking St. Peter�s Square, the announcement was made that Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina had been elected the 112th pope in the prophecy on March 13th, 2013!!
He was 76 years of age when elected pope and chose to take the name Pope Francis for his papal name. Francis is the first non-European pope and the first pope ever elected from the very Satanic Jesuit order. The Satanic Pope Francis is the leader of about 1,000,000,000 {One Billion} Roman Catholics and it is quite obvious that he is very evil and Satanic and possibly would qualify to be the future False Prophet of 666!!
**DOES POPE FRANCIS QUALIFY TO BE THE FUTURE FALSE PROPHET OF 666 WHO WILL COME UP FROM THE ABYSS OR HELL?? IS THE FUTURE FALSE PROPHET OF 666 ALREADY HERE!!**??
WILL 666 COME UP FROM THE ABYSS OR HELL??
Revelation 11:7: The Beast {666} that comes **UP FROM THE ABYSS** will attack them, and overpower and kill them.
Revelation 17:8: The Beast {666}, which you saw, once was {Alive}, now is not (Alive in AD 96}, and yet will **COME UP OUT OF THE ABYSS** and go to his destruction. {as per Rev 19:20 & 2 Thess 2:8} {That the Abyss is Hell is shown in Luke 8:30-31} There are many who believe that the **6**th Caesar who killed Paul and Peter in AD **66** and whose name adds up to exactly **666** in Hebrew, and is now in the Abyss or hell, will come up from the Abyss and become the Beast {*666*}who rule the world during the 1260-day Great Tribulation.
Jesus is called a **LAMB** 30 times in the book of Revelation and Revelation 13:11 states the False Prophet of 666 will be **LIKE A LAMB** which implies that he may be a very deceptive religious leader.
Revelation 17:9 shows that the future headquarters of 666 and his False Prophet will be the evil city on 7 hills or Rome {See Rev 17:9}; which is also the present headquarters of Pope Francis and the former headquarters of 666, Nero Caesar, who will come up from the Abyss!! {See Daniel 7:23-25}
A Roman Catholic Priest Says Homosexuality Is Gift From God, And That The Bible Is Not The Word Of God, And Then Pope Francis Kisses His Hand And Praises Him??
A 93 year old Italian priest named Michele de Paolis, considered to be Italy�s most rebellious priest and amongst the most universally notorious advocates for the Catholic Church to change its position on homosexuality, said:, "Homosexual love is a gift from (God) no less than heterosexual. This same damned heretic said, "The Bible �is� not the word of God And now, just a few days ago, Francis, whether by his own will or through some malicious advisors, celebrated mass with this evil man and then kissed his hand????
VATICAN CITY (RNS) Pope Francis on Monday (Oct. 27) waded into the controversial debate over the origins of human life, saying the big bang theory and evolution did not contradict the role of a divine creator, but even required it. The pope was addressing the plenary assembly of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, which gathered at the Vatican to discuss �Evolving Concepts of Nature.� Pope Francis said, �When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so,� Francis said. �He created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfillment.� �God is not a divine being or a magician, but the Creator who brought everything to life,� the pope said. �Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.�
Giovanni Bignami, a professor and president of Italy�s National Institute for Astrophysics, welcomed Francis� comments, saying he had buried the �pseudo theories� of creationists. The pope�s statement is significant,� Bignami told Italian news agency Adnkronos. �We are the direct descendants from the Big Bang that created the universe. Evolution came from creation.�
Pope Francis: says, The Church could support civil unions??? By Daniel Burke, CNN Belief Blog Co-Editor: - Pope Francis suggested in a newspaper interview that it could support some types of civil unions. The Pope reiterated the church's longstanding teaching that "marriage is between a man and a woman." However, he said, "We have to look at different cases and evaluate them in their variety." States, for instance, justify civil unions as a way to provide economic security to cohabitating couples, the Pope said in a wide-ranging interview published Wednesday in Corriere della Sera, an Italian daily. State-sanctioned unions are thus driven by the need to ensure rights like access to health care, Francis added.
A number of Catholic bishops have supported civil unions for same-sex couples, including Pope Francis when he was Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 2010, according to reports in National Catholic Reporter and The New York Times. Behind closed doors, Pope Francis supported civil unions in Argentina, activist says. But Wednesday's comments are "The **FIRST TIME** a Pope has indicated even tentative acceptance of civil unions," according to Catholic News Service.
Francis delivers homilies each day, the contents of which are summarized by Vatican Radio. On May 22, 2015 he caused no shortage of confusion when he suggested that even atheists could find salvation. Obama has said the exact same thing!!! In his homily, Francis said: "The Lord has redeemed all of us, with the Blood of Christ:, not just Catholics. Everyone! Even the atheists. Everyone!" However Jesus says, "No one can come to the Father except through Me." John 1:12,13: To all who received Him {Jesus}, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God--children born not of human descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God!
Pope Francis also says "Who am I to judge homosexuals." and Pope Francis states that sincere homosexuals will also enter the kingdom of heaven. But what does God's Word say?? I Corinthians 6:9-11: Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor **HOMOSEXUAL OFFENDERS** will inherit the kingdom of God. {Unless they repent} And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Responding to a list of questions published in the paper by Mr Scalfari, who is not a Roman Catholic, Francis wrote: �You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don�t believe and who don�t seek the faith. I start by saying � and this is the fundamental thing � that God�s mercy has no limits if you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience. �Sin, even for those who have no faith, exists when people disobey their conscience"????
Pope Francis expressed praise on September 25th, 2015 for Obama's ridiculous nuclear deal struck with very evil Iran during a speech at the United Nations' General Assembly in New York. Pope Francis stated, "The recent agreement reached on the nuclear question in Iran is proof of the potential of political good will and of law, exercised with sincerity, patience and constancy."{???}
Pope Francis totally agrees with Obama and believes that all who do not believe in Global Warming are sinning and everyone who does not do something to reduce global warming is sinning.
Pope Francis is an extreme socialist who believes that all capitalism is extremely evil!! The Pope also loves socialism just like Obama and believes that anyone who does not believe in socialism is sinning!
For the First Time in History a Pope has declared that people of all beliefs other than Christianity such as Muslims and even atheists shall go to heaven if they are sincere and lead a good life.
For the First Time in History in History a Pope refuses to judge or condemn homosexuals or those who participate in Gay Marriage!!
For the First Time in History a Pope has declared that everyone who does not believe in Global Warming is Sinning and all who do not do something to reduce Global Warming is Sinning!!
For the First Time in History a Pope has declared that **ALL** capitalism is evil and all who do not believe in socialism are Sinning!!
For the first time in History the Roman Catholic Church has elected a **JESUIT POPE*!! One of the main enforcers of the Roman Catholic Inquisitions were the Jesuits. All Jesuits take the same Satanic oath today. Pope Francis has taken and administered this same Satanic Jesuit oath which includes the following amazing statements:"I promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, make and wage war , secretly and openly, against all heretics and protestants as I am directed to do, to extirpate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex nor condition, and that I will hang, burn, waste, boil, flay, strangle, and bury alive those infamous heretics; rip open their stomachs and wombs of their women, and crush their infants heads against the walls in order to annihilate their execrable race.
And so it is interesting to note that the 112th and last pope {??} who is the leader of about 1,000,000,000 {One Billion} Roman Catholics agrees with Satan on everything!!
Matthew 23:9: "Jesus says, "Do not call *ANYONE on earth 'father,' for you have **ONE FATHER**, and He is in *HEAVEN*!!" This is an obvious reference to a SPIRITUAL FATHER since earthly fathers of earthly children are mentioned hundreds of times in God's Word. And so according to Jesus: calling the leader of the Satanic Roman Catholic Church 'Holy Father' is a terrible sin.
Pope Francis {Who Satanists call **HOLY FATHER**} has made a Papal Decree stating that he alone has given power to Roman Catholic priests {Who Satanists call **FATHERS**} to forgive **ALL ABORTIONS** which would include Gruesome and Horrific Abortions an hour before conception!! Is this **MURDER**??
As usual, the Satanic Pope Francis is absolutely contradicting God's Sacred Word!!:
Psalm 22:10: David said, "From my mother's **WOMB** you have been My God!"
Psalm 139:13: David said, "For you created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's **WOMB**!"
Isaiah 44:2: This is what the Lord says--He who made you, who formed you in the **WOMB**!
Isaiah 44:24: This is what the Lord says--your Redeemer, who formed you in the **WOMB**!
Jeremiah 1:5: The Lord said, "Before I formed you in the **WOMB** I knew you!"
And so we can safely conclude that Pope Francis completely qualifies to be the future deceptive False Prophet of 666 from the evil city on 7 hills!!
Pope Francis was born at 9 PM on December 17th, 1936 in Buenos Aries Argentina which is 5 hours less than Jerusalem Bible time which would be 2 AM, December 18th, 1936. What is the interesting time period between 2 AM , December 18th, 1936 to 2 AM, **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021** which is exactly 1260 days after the 70th anniversary of Israel on May 14th, 2018!!
The time period from December 18th, 1936 to December 18th, 2020 is exactly 84 years or **77 + 7** years. And the time period between December 18th 2020 and **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021** is exactly 315 days. ***7** 30-day Bible months would be 210 days leaving 105 days. 14 or **7 + 7** weeks would take 98 days leaving **7** days!
And so the total time period from the birth of Pope Francis at 2 AM, December 18th,1936, Jerusalem time; to 2 AM, October 25th, 2021 would be **77 + 7** years plus **7** months Plus**7+7** weeks plus **7** days before the Last Day on **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021 at the possible 2nd Coming of Jesus, who holds the 7 spirits of God and the 7 angels, when the **7** angel will sound the **7**th and last trumpet!!
**BIBLE CHRONOLOGY BEGINNING WITH THE CREATION OF ADAM UNTIL NOW**
These chronologies are recorded in Genesis 5:2-32 and Genesis 11:10-26:
Adam became the father of Seth at age .............. 130
Seth became the father of Enosh at age ...............105
Enosh became the father of Kenan at age ............. 90
Kenan became the father of Mahalel at age.............70
Mahalel became the father of Jared at age..............65
Jared became the father of Enoch at age ..............162
Enoch became the father of Methusaleh at age ...... 65
Methusaleh became the father Lamech at age....... 187
Lamech became the father of Noah at age .............182
Noah became the father of Shem at age ................500
Shem became the father of Arphaxed at age .........100
Arphaxad became the father of Shelah at age ......... 35
Shelah bacame the father of Eber at age .............. ...30
Eber became the father of Peleg at age ...................34
Peleg became the father of Reu at age ....................30
Reu became the father of Serug at age ....................32
Serug became the father of Nahor at age .................30
Nahor became the father of Terah at age ..................29
Terah became the father of Abram{Abraham}at age...70 for a total of 1946 years after Adam was created.
Abraham entered the land of Canaan at age 75 which was 2021 years after Adam was created.
Exodus 12:40: Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt and Canaan {See NIV footnote} was 430 years. At the end of 430 years, **TO THE VERY DAY** the Lord's divisions left Egypt.
So Israel left Egypt 430 years after Abraham entered Canaan which was 2021 years after Adam was created and so Israel left Egypt 2021 + 430 or 2451 years after Adam was created.
**CHRONOLOGY OF THE 22 KINGS**
Saul king of all Israel for 42 years {I Samuel 13:1}
David king of all Israel for 40 years {I Kings 2:11}
Solomon king of all Israel for 40 years {I Kings 11:42} Solomon started to build God's Temple 3 years and 32 days after he began to reign.
After the death of King Solomon; the Kingdom of Israel was divided into Northern Israel with the Kings of Israel and southern Israel with 19 kings of Judah with headquarters in Jerusalem. The Kingdom of northern Israel was exiled by the King of Assyria during the reign of Ahaz, king of Judah. {Read 2 Kings 17:1-41}
**19 KINGS OF JUDAH**
Rehoboam king for 17 years {I Kings 14:21}
Abijah king for 5 years {I Kings 15:1,2}
Asa king for 41 years {I Kings 15:9,10}
Jehoshaphat king for 25 years {2 Chron 20:31}
Jehoram king for 8 years {2 Chron 21:5}
Ahaziah king for 1 year {2 Chron 22:2}
Joash hidden in Temple for 6 years as the King of Israel Athaliah ruled for 6 years {2 Chron 22:12}
Joash then became king for 40 years {2 Chron 24:19}
Amaziah king for 29 years {2 Chron 25:1}
Uzziah {Also called Azariah} king for 52 years {2 Chron 26:2}
Jotham king for 16 years {2 Chron 27:1}
Ahaz king for 16 years {2 Chron 28:1}
Hezekiah king for 29 years {2 Chron 29:1}
Manasseh king for 55 years { 2 Chron 33:1}
Amon king for 2 years {2 Chron 33:21}
Josiah king for 31 years {2 Chron 34:1}
Jehoahaz king for 3 months {2 Chron 36:2}
Jehoiakim king for 11 years {2 Chron 36:5}
Jehoiachin king for 3 months {2 Chron 36:9}
Zedekiah king for 11 years {2 Chron 36:11}
For a total of 490 years + 6 months + 10 days {Or 190 days}for the 22 kings above before the 70-year exile of Israel to Babylon. {See 2 Chronicles 36:20,21.
I Kings 6:1 In the 480th year after the Israelites had come out of Egypt, in the 4th year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, the second month, he began to build the Temple of the Lord. 2 Chronicles 3:2: He {Solomon} began building on the second day of the second month in the 4th year of his reign.
And so Solomon began building the Temple after 3 years and 32 days of the 4th year of his reign and 479 years and 32 days of the 480th year after the Israelites left Egypt which we have shown was 2451 years after the birth of Adam; for a total of 2930 years + 32 days after the birth of Adam.
Saul had reigned 42 years and David ruled for 40 years and Solomon reigned 3 years and 32 days for a total of 85 years and 32 days from the first day of Saul's reign until the Temple was started. And since the 22 Judean kings ruled 490 years + 190 days before their 70 year exile to Babylon then there would have been 405 years + 158 days from when Solomon started the Temple until the 70-year exile. 490 years plus 190 days minus 85 years + 32 days equals exactly 405 years plus 158 days.
250 years earlier the Lord made this amazing prophecy in Isaiah 45:13: The Lord said, "I will raise up Cyrus in My righteousness. He will rebuild My city and set my exiles free!!" {Read 2 Chronicles 36:22,23}
Daniel 9:24,25: 70 7's {or 490 years} are decreed for your people and your Holy City... Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree {By King Cyrus} to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the Ruler, comes, there will be 7 7's and 62 7's {69 7's or 483 years}!!
And so this amazing prophecy confirms that the coming and Anointing of the Anointed Savior would take pace exactly 69 7's or 483 years after the decree of Cyrus which took place on October 5th, AD 29 which was 3 1/2 years or 1278 days before Jesus put an end to all sacrifices for sin in the middle of the last 7 years {See Dan 9:27a} on April 3-5, AD 33.
And so the time period from Solomon starting the Temple to the Anointing of Jesus would have been 405 years + 158 days + 70 years + 483 years for a total of 958 years and 158 days. And the time period from the birth of Adam to Solomon starting the Temple would have been 2930 years + 32 days plus 958 years + 158 days for a grand total of 3,888 years plus 190 days.
Let us suppose that the 1260-day Great Tribulation will begin on the 70-YEAR** Anniversary of Israel on **MAY 14TH, 2018** and end 1260 days later at the 2nd Coming of Jesus on **OCTOBER 25TH, 2021**
The time period from the Anointing of Jesus or the 1st Coming of Jesus on October 5th, AD 29 to the speculative 2nd Coming of Jesus on October 25th, 2021 would be exactly 1992 years plus 20 days. And then the time period from the birth of Adam to the 2nd Coming of Jesus would be 1,992 years + 20 days plus 3,888 years + 190 days for a grand total of 5,880 years plus 210 days. And 7 times 840 years is 5,880 years and so **7** times **770 + 70** years is also 5,880 years. And 210 days is also **70+70+70** days. And so the time period from the birth of Adam to the possible 2nd Coming of Jesus would be exactly **7** times **770+70** years plus **70+70+70** days!!
The idea that something may happen related to the End-Times on the **70** YEAR ANNIVERSARY** of the birth of Israel is, of course, just an interesting **SPECULATION**!
God also made some interesting promises to Israel after their **70-YEAR** exile:
Jeremiah 29:10-14: This is what the Lord says, "When **70 YEARS** are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill My gracious promise to bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a **FUTURE** Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord!!
Zechariah 13:8,9: "In the whole land" {After the **70TH** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel??} declares the Lord, "Two- thirds will be struck down and perish, yet one-third will be left in it, This third I will bring into the fire, I will refine them like silver, and test them like gold. They will call on My name and I will answer them; I will say, "They are My people," and they will say, "The Lord is our God." {This will happen during the 1260-day Great Tribulation}
According to the latest census there are about 6,500,000 Jews in Israel and there will be about 6,600,000 a year from now. One third of 6,600,000 would be about 2,200,000 Jews will be saved. Christian missionaries estimate that there only about 4,000 Jews in Israel that are truly saved at this time!!
Romans 11:25-27: I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited. Israel has experienced a hardening in part, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in {Read Rev 7:9,14} And so all Israel will be saved. {The 1/3 who are left} {With the help of 144,000 Jewish evangelists and God's 2 Jewish witnesses--Moses and Elijah!!}
Jesus says, **THIS GENERATION** will certainly not pass away **UNTIL **ALL** THESE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED**" {Matthew 24:34}
Psalm 90:1,10: Lord, You have been our dwelling place throughout **ALL GENERATIONS**.... The length of our days is **70 YEARS**!
Matthew 24:32-35: Jesus says, "Now learn this lesson from the **FIG TREE**. As soon as the twigs get tender and its **LEAVES COME OUT**, you know that summer is **NEAR**. Even so, when you see all these things {Which Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24:4-31}, you know that **IT IS **NEAR** right at the door. I tell you the truth, this {Israeli} **GENERATION** will certainly not pass away **UNTIL **ALL** THESE THINGS** {Which Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24:4-31} **HAVE HAPPENED**!. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away!"
After Jesus prophesied the complete destruction of the Temple the disciples asked Jesus in Matthew 24:3: "When will this {Temple destruction} happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"
It is interesting to note that the destruction of the Temple in the Olivet prophecies is only discussed by Jesus in Luke 21:20-24. Everything else Jesus prophesied before Matthew 24:32-35 above pertains to what will happen just before and during the 1260-day Great Tribulation In Matthew 24:4-31; which could possibly occur on **May 14th, 2018 to October 25th, 2021**
Now the Preterist believes that **ALL THESE THINGS THAT HAPPENED** IN MATTHEW 24:4-31 including the 2nd coming of Jesus and the stars falling from the sky all took place before AD 70. The Preterist also believes that everything in Revelation including the 42 month reign by 666 over **EVERY NATION, TRIBE AND LANGUAGE** also took place before AD 70 and that **EVERYONE** in the world except the saints worshiped 666 before AD 70 as per Revelation 13:5-8!!
Matthew 21:42: Jesus said to the Jews, "The kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit."
Matthew 24:23,24: Jesus says, "There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled."
Acts 1:6,7: The disciples asked Jesus, :Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" Jesus answered, it is not for you to know the times and dates the Father has set by His own authority!"
Zechariah 13:8,9: In the whole land," declares the Lord, "Two thirds will be struck down and perish, yet one-third will be left in it. This third I will bring inrto the fire , I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on My name and I will answer them. I will say, "They are My people", and they will say, "The Lord is our God!"
Romans 11 :25,26: I do no want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers , so that you will not be conceited. Israel {**THE FIG TREE**} has experienced a hardening in part **UNTIL THE FULL NUMBER OF GENTILES COME IN**.. And so all Israel will be saved!! {The one third who are left during the Great Tribulation}
**WHEN WILL THE FULL NUMBER OF GENTILES COME IN**?? This will take place during the 1260-day Great Tribulation as per Revelation 7:9,13-15: There before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from **EVERY NATION, TRIBE, PEOPLE AND LANGUAGE**, standing before the throne in front of the **LAMB**. They were wearing white robes. ... Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes--who are they, and where did they come from?" I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have **COME OUT OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION**, they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the **LAMB**. Therefore, they are before the throne of God."
Jeremiah 8:13: "I will take away their {Israel's} harvest", declares the Lord, "There will be no more figs on the tree. and their leaves will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them."
Matthew 21:18,19: Jesus was hungry. Seeing a **FIG TREE** by the road, He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then He said, " May you never bear fruit again."
Joel 1:11,12: The harvest of the field is destroyed. The vine is dried up and the **FIG TREE** is withered.
Hosea 9:10: The Lord said, "When I found Israel..it was like seeing the early fruit on the **FIG TREE**!"
Revelation 6:13 And the stars of the sky fell to earth as late **FIGS** drop from a **FIG TREE** when shaken by a strong wind!
Matthew 24:32-34: Jesus says, "Now learn this lesson from the **FIG TREE**. As soon as its twigs get tender and its **LEAVES COME OUT**, you know that summer is near. Even so when you see these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, **THIS GENERATION** will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened!"
"The only thing that counts is **FAITH** expessing itself through Love Galatians 5:6."
Posted : 16 Sep, 2017 01:19 PM
Leviticus 5:5-10; 16-19: When anyone becomes aware that they are guilty of any of these matters, they must confess in what way they have sinned. As a penalty for the sin they have committed, they **MUST** bring to the Lord a female lamb or goat from the flock as a **SIN OFFERING**; and the priest shall **MAKE ATONEMENT for them for their sin. Anyone who cannot afford a lamb is to bring 2 doves or 2 pigeons to the Lord as a penalty for their sin. They are to bring them to the priest, who shall first offer the one for the sin offering... The priest shall then offer the other as a burnt offering in the prescribed way and **MAKE ATONEMENT** for the sin they have committed, and they will be **FORGIVEN**.
Leviticus 17:11: The Lord said, "For the life of the creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make **ATONEMENT FOR YOURSELVES** on the altar; it is the **BLOOD THAT MAKES ATONEMENT FOR ONE'S LIFE**!!"
Isaiah 1:11,13,14: "The multitude of your sacrifices--what are they to Me?" says the Lord. "I have more than enough of burnt offerings, of rams and the fat of fattened animals; I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats... **STOP** bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to Me. New moons, Sabbaths and convocations--I cannot bear your worthless assemblies. Your New Moon feasts and your appointed festivals **I HATE WITH ALL MY BEING!!"
Now Hark wants you to continue in the 613 OT laws which would include over 200 OT laws for sin sacrifices, priests and the Deceased Temple and its embellishments which the **LORD HATES WITH ALL HIS BEING**!
Jeremiah 31:31,32,34: "The days are coming says the Lord," declares the Lord, "When I will make a **NEW COVENANT with the people of Israel. It will **NOT BE LIKE** the Covenant I made with their ancestors...For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more!!"
Isaiah 1:18: "Come now let us settle the matter," says the Lord. "Though your sins are like scarlet, the shall be as **WHITE AS SNOW**!
Now Hark teaches that our sins are forgiven by keeping all of the OT laws and even disagrees with OT teaching that your sins were forgiven by blood sacrifices of animals.
BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY??
Matthew 26:28: Jesus says, "This is my blood of the Covenant which is poured out for many for the **FORGIVENESS OF SINS**
I Peter 1:18,19: For you know that was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were **REDEEMED** from the empty way of life handed down to you by your forefathers, but with the **PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST**, Lamb without blemish or defect!!
I Peter 2:24,25: He Himself **BORE OUR SINS** in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness, by **HIS WOUNDS** we are healed {See Isaiah 53:5,6}!! For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls!!
I John 2:1-5: My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have One who speaks to the Father in our defense--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the **ATONING SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS**, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world!! We know that we have come to know Him if we keep His {Jesus} commands. Whoever says, "I know Him," but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys His word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in Him!!
I John 4:10-12: This is **LOVE**, not that we loved God, but that He **LOVED** us and sent His Son as an **ATONING SACRIFICE** for our sins. Dear friends, since God so **LOVED** us, we also ought to **LOVE** one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we **LOVE** one another, God **LIVES IN US** and His **LOVE** is made complete in us.
Revelation 1:4,5: Grace and peace to you from Him who is, and who was, and who is to come and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful Witness... To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins **BY HIS BLOOD**!!
