JESUS CHRIST: The Sinless Sacrifice

Friday, August 12th, 2011

SATAN HATES THE SINLESS BLOOD SACRIFICE! The Eternal Son of God is that ”Holy One of God,” born of a virgin and conceived by the Holy Ghost. He became fully human and fully flesh, but was sanctified by the act of the Sovereign Spirit of God. He was conceived in Mary’s womb by a miracle of God’s Supernatural action, therefore, without the sin nature. He was the second Adam who came to redeem men from the fall of the first Adam. The first Adam was created without sin, but disobeyed the commandment of God and became the means of infecting the whole race of men. Jesus Christ was the eternal Word or Logos who tabernacled in the flesh, but did not share Adam’s nature. He was tempted or proved, but rejected the offers of Lucifer, therefore, remaining without any expression or inclination of sin in body, soul or spirit.

The Nature of Sin! The nature of sin is bound in the soul of mankind. Therefore, every soul born to women in the natural order of conception is a sinner with the sin nature dominating their person. Apostle Paul expressed this nature as follows, “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” (Romans 8:7) The great prophet, Isaiah, painted the Biblical picture of sinful man. “Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.” (Isaiah 1:4-6)

The Sinless Man! Jesus shared absolutely no expression of this nature, but came to redeem men out of this horrible pit. God, the Father, is holy and His holiness demands that sin be punished. Our Redeemer came to take that punishment unto Himself and forever change the eternal destiny of the human family. The sacrifice had to be different from fallen men. Men are sinners by nature and the Redeemer had to be “separate from sinners.” The only sacrifice that could enter the Holy of Holies was a spotless substitute. “Inherited sin” or what we call “adamic sin” is just as defiling as acts of sin. Adamic sin resides in the soul while acts of sin are expressions of the flesh. Either would have made Jesus incapable of redeeming man because the two cannot be separated. A man sins because his nature is sinful. Acts of sin are the results of the nature that has affected the very person or soul of that individual. Jesus never experienced either the nature or the acts of sin.

Because of this perfection of His soul Jesus could be made an offering for sin. Isaiah prophesied that God the Father would make the soul of His Son a substitute sacrifice. Here are his words: “Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.” (Isaiah 53:10)

Sanctified And Sent Into The World! When the Great God would send a sacrifice for sin, nobody was capable of meeting that divine requirement, but His Eternal Son. John the Revelator tells of a search throughout Heaven, the earth and beneath the earth to find someone that could take the redemptive “Book” out of the Father’s hand. John wept until an angel stopped him and showed him the “Lamb” as it had been slain. Then the company of saints began to sing, “And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 1 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” (Revelation 5:2-10)

The death of this sinless Lamb is the one and only means of redemption. It is God’s eternal answer to the entire problem of sin and all its consequences. From the redemption of man from his guilt, the sanctification of man from his defilement all the way to the cleansing of the earth from sin’s effect; the death of the Lord Jesus Christ is complete and final. “It is finished.” (John 19:30).

The Revelation text (Book of Revelation) was written as John beheld the future redemption of this earth. But remember “redemption” is an eternal fact. Jesus Christ was slain from the foundation of the world, according to Holy Scripture. His death was in the heart of God when man was placed in the garden. A revealing statement about the coming Antichrist and his sway over all mankind and complete redemption is found in Revelation 13:8. Hear this “Revelation from Jesus Christ” as He states, “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” (Revelation 13:8)

Multitudes of church members will follow and worship a new “christ” whose main distinction will be a “Jesus” different from the one that was ‘slain from the foundation of the world.” He will be presented as an example “Jesus,” compassionate “Jesus,” a phallic “Jesus” (as described by the Promise Keepers), a positive “Jesus,” a non-threatening “Jesus,” etc. The Antichrist will quote the Bible with great skill and talk eloquent “Bible talk.” The subtle difference will be in the “redemption by His sinless blood,” That’s where Satan cannot imitate the Lord Jesus Christ.

Satan Hates the Sinless Blood Sacrifice! Satan has always attacked Jesus at the point of His timeless divinity and His perfect sacrifice for sin. It was just such a setting where Jesus affirmed His sinless perfection. Jesus had spoken of Himself as the Great Shepherd and the only way to the Father. The Jews cried out in their accusation, accusing Him of blasphemy because He made Himself “One with the Father.” He had said, “I and my Father are one.” ( John 10:36) That’s when He said to them, “Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?” (John 10:36)

Any theological idea that reduces this high and lofty sinlessness of the Lord is a work of Lucifer. It does not matter how minute that reduction may represent: One iota of smear or confusion about the person of Jesus Christ is like a black dot in an all-white garment. The entire garment becomes unusable until the dot is removed. The redemptive powers of Jesus Christ are rendered of no value when a question of His holy nature is suggested. If the earthly Holy of Holies (patterned after the heavenly) could not be entered until complete purification, how much more so the heavenly Holy of Holies where God the Father sits on His throne. It is unthinkable to consider that Jesus could provide eternal redemption and offer His blood on the high altar of God unless He was sinless and perfect in the total sense of Holiness. He did not just resist the vile thoughts of sin, He had no vile thoughts of sin. He was not just pure in the rejection of sinful lust, He was pure in the absence of sinful lust.

This is why the Son of God said to Mary Magdalene outside His tomb, “Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.” (John 20:17) Before human hands could touch the perfectly resurrected, and living sacrifice, that sacrifice had to enter the Heavenly Holy Of Holies and present His Blood on the Altar of the grand temple of which Solomon’s temple was but a shadow. That BLOOD is still alive and supernatural in redemption where sinners are still washed and forgiven and the universe is soon be be judged and cleansed. This is the Greatest TRUTH, the Grandest TRUTH and the Absolute TRUTH that makes the BIBLE the one book of its kind.

Satan’s Eviction From The Earth!

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011

THE SALTY SAINTS

The saints of God are soon going to inherit this earth and rule it with Jesus Christ as their KING OF KINGS.”…The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.” (I Corinthians 10:26) Remember, the second stanza of their song in chapter five. “And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign (rule – Be in total authority.) on the earth.” (Revelation 5:10) Satan has been the god of this world for six thousand years and has consistently turned the fruitful valleys into deserts and wildernesses. Wherever Satan has authority and dark evil deeds have been allowed, the entire culture slowly turns into a cesspool. “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” (Psalm 9:17) We see it occurring right now all across our nation and in most of the world. Homosexuality and lesbianism is being ballyhooed by the media and the entertainment industry even as the church world is like “… dumb dogs, they cannot bark…” (Isaiah 56:10) But, it is almost over for the devil and his crowd.

Revelation chapter six is the prophetic picture of the beginning of the end for the evil reign of Satan and his horde of spirits and evil mankind. It’s incredibly sad that most of the world had rather serve the world’s god than the Creator God. The whole world system is quickly becoming evil to the core and set against everything that centers in Jesus Christ. The term “god” is becoming a world phenomenon, while the name “Jesus”is utterly rejected and squashed. Most of the church world is adopting the new theology of the One World Church, which is being called “sinner-sensitive” programs. They believe that if you commit not to unsettle the sinner, then they will be delighted to become Christians. It’s the new easy way to hell; and it’s exactly what Jesus said would reign in the last days before He returns to evict the devil from his stolen post as “god of this world.”

It’s almost impossible to believe that the church world could be so theologically dumb and ignorant of truth. The Book of Revelation has been rejected as to its prophetic values and its chronological picture of the end. You cannot read this book literally and take it literally as our Lord Jesus Christ intended without being overwhelmed with its perfect beauty of what is about to occur. Every evil act and every lifestyle contrary to the Holy Bible is about to be judged by the exact standard of holy truth. Every religious person that refuses to live a godly set-apart life according to the whole Word of God will be brokenhearted at the revelation of the coming judgment of the church. The Scripture declares that “… judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” (I Peter 4:17) The compromise of Bible Holiness is the greatest tragedy ever to occur in the House of God. It will damn an overwhelming multitude of church souls.

Satan’s Eviction! The devil is truly on his last rampage. Once the great celebration of Revelation chapter five is finished, it will be time to begin the opening of the seven-sealed book. This book contains the title deed of this earth and the process of its redemption out of the hands of the interloper named Lucifer. Satan’s six thousand year reign of terror is about to end and he will be evicted from his falsely acquired kingdom. The process of this eviction is extremely thorough and nothing of his evil designs and deceptions will remain. As Daniel prophesied, “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.” (Daniel 2:44) The Son of God, seen as a lamb slain, has earned the perfect judicial right to direct the process and His elders, the glorified Raptured saints and the people of Israel, will share the glory of His victory. Let’s begin our verse-by-verse review of Revelation chapter six.

“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.” (Revelation 6:1-2) The champion of this grand finale is the Lamb of God. His death was more than a sacrifice to cleanse our personal sins; it was the complete sacrifice to redeem this cosmos and to evict the devil out of God’s total kingdom. It was the end of the devil. Satan has been on a leash since that very moment and His saints have been gathering evidence to put him away forever. Now, the process begins. Jesus opens the first seal and we hear a “noise of thunder” as one of the cherubim/beasts says, “Come and see.” These four cherubim, called beasts in our King James Bible, have been evident in Scripture all the way back to Genesis chapter three. They are God’s keepers of holiness in the earth, so any activity of God’s righteousness relating to this earth must include their activity. These cherubim will be manifest on this earth during the entire process of evicting Lucifer and cleansing this earth.

Immediately a “white horse” appears and begins his ride through the earth. Throughout Scripture, four horses”have been the conveyors of judgment in this earth. They ride together when the Creator God is sending forth His powers to recompense evil and bring it to task. This horse has a “bow and a crown” and he goes forth “conquering and to conquer.” Many see him as the Antichrist, but I see him as representing the going forth of righteousness to judge and to disquiet every work of evil. It certainly can include the releasing of Antichrist activities because the Lamb of God and His servants of cherubim and saints or elders will orchestrate every detail of this seven-year period, and Satan can do nothing except by God’s design and plan.

“Conquering and to conquer” suggests that Satan’s reign of terror is in the process of the end. God is doing the conquering, not the devil. The going forth of judgment is a judgment of wickedness and evil and the conquering of the dark forces that represent Satan’s horde of evil powers and spirits. These four horses are intimately connected and nothing can be said of one without fitting the pattern of all four. They are intimately connected and related to each other as a whole. It’s all the mighty right hand of the Great Judge bringing redemption from wickedness to this universe.

“And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.” (Revelation 6:3-4) Now, we hear the second cherubim crying out as thunder, “Come and See.” There is something stupendous about their cry, “Come and See.” It certainly suggests an effect in the earth that demands attention. This is not entertainment; this is judgment. The process shows that this period will escalate as it continues. Hour-by-hour the earth will grow darker and the judgment will increase as human pain and sorrow explodes. The whole period of seven years will be a full and total judgment of cleansing.

The second horse is the color of red, the color being a symbol of death and deep convulsions of excruciating pain. This horde has power to take peace from the earth and to stir mens hearts toward a dark desire to destroy. We see this destructive culture developing presently, but only in its early stages. The mass murdering by the worldwide terrorism is just a beginning. Their god is the source of direction for their terror. We have no better proof that false gods are demons that are already showing the coming terror of the future. The theme of this second seal appears as “a great sword” in the earth.

“And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, a measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.” (Revelation 6:5-6)The darkness, as revealed in this seal, is now reaching the pandemic stage. This third cherubim cries, “Come and See,” and what we see is sheer horror. The horse is black, showing the symbol of a hellish blackness descending on this earth. The rider of this horse has a scale or a pair of balances in his hand suggesting a famine on a total scale. Now, we see all four of the cherubim together and one cries out with a mournful cry of coming drought, crop failure, starvation, and death. The insanity that follows the disaster of starvation and famine is impossible to describe. Never has there been such a worldwide famine at the same time. To even consider the kind of beastly human behavior during a worldwide loss of the food chain is terror.

“And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.” (Revelation 6:7-8) Now, the last of the four cherubim issues his cry, “Come and See,” and the fourth horse, pale in color, rides. The horse is named “Death and Hell” because the increasing destruction guarantees death on an unimaginable scale. Literally hundreds of millions of souls are dying, being killed, slain by massacring beasts, and killed by each other. We saw thousands being buried in mass graves after the tsunami in the Far East. At this stage of the seven years of hell on earth, millions will be quickly buried in massive graves that are presently unknown to the human mind. The psychological effects of this period of history will assure insanity on a worldwide scale.

As you read this commentary, you must remember that all of this is a panoramic view of the real Lucifer that is about to be evicted. Every expression of evil is nothing but Lucifer personified. He is more of a beast than man has yet to see, but will in this fulfilling prophecy be impossible to miss. This horse, named “Death and Hell,” is given power over the fourth part of the earth. It appears that one fourth of the earth’s population will be killed by the effects of this horse and rider. At a population of six billion plus, that could represent over one and one-half billion deaths. They will be killed by every possible means, from a sword to starving wild beasts. By this time the earth will be in a worldwide pandemic. The impossibility of burying the dead will unleash disease and malignity impossible to contain. All of this is guaranteed to escalate until the world will be ready to help evict the devil and his army of unclean spirits. The Father will insure that the world learns the true source of all sorrow. “Read the conclusion of this Article at http://www.pawcreek.org/end-times/revelation-6-satans-eviction

HELL IS CONSTANTLY ENLARGING ITSELF

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

THE “TORMENTS OF HELL” WILL BE THE TOPIC FOR OPEN BIBLE DIALOGUE THIS SATURDAY! It is desperate to awake the CHURCH to this INFALLIBLE truth. (LIVE on Internet all over the world. Go to Home page at 1:00-2:00 P.M. on Saturday, EST) Hell is the holding place until the WHITE THRONE judgment of the Christ rejecting world and those that live an unholy life. “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 22:8)

Hell is in the center of our Earth, where molten rock and brimstone cast themselves about like a Tsunami out of the deep. This hellish place did not exist when God the eternal Father created a perfect world. The world was a garden paradise, where the loving Father could step out of His Ivory City to walk in fellowship with His earthly family. It appears that He created the Earth for His pleasure and retreat like a great garden in the suburbs of Heavenly Jerusalem. The space or distance between the Heavenly City and the Father’s paradise garden probably did not exist until sin was judged.

Satan was still a beautiful angel and walked about in God’s city and His garden. He was a breathtaking being to behold. Music flowed from Him in its created splendor and blessed the ears of all God’s universe. Ezekiel spoke of this excellent created cherub,“Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created” (Ezekiel 28:13).

Satan had been created as a masterpiece, revealing the uniqueness of God’s creative powers. He was a jewel in the family of angels; however, his pride somehow caused him to see his beauty as his gift to God instead of God’s gift to him. He used his charm to deceive a great company of angels and, together, they rebelled against the Sovereign God. They were cast out of Heaven and left without any permanent dwelling place. This entire company of Satan and his fallen angels has been vagabonds from that day.

Using a beautiful creature as his disguise to sneak into the Garden of Eden revealed his fallen mind as he sought to get even with the Father. In the process Our Father turned that creature into a snake. From the moment Satan was cast out of Heaven, he has had to use trickery in all of his designs. Honesty, beauty, and righteousness do not exist in his world. “. . . For he is a liar, and the father of it” (John 8:44). He cannot create, he can only destroy. Remember, he had walked in that garden in the splendor of his created beauty. He had thrilled God’s entire universe with Heavenly music that revealed the highest form of worship. He was one of God’s grandest angels, but now he returned disguised as a snake in his fallen condition.

In every place where men give him room, he produces a wilderness. His powers are still paranormal as are all of God’s angels — fallen or non fallen — but not supernatural. God’s holy angels can do supernatural things at God’s command but not in and of themselves. This worldwide calamity of Satan had to be judged and the Father created a place called Hell in the heart or center of His earth. The earth’s magnetism demanded great heat within its center to make our world cohesive and inhabitable. It was the chosen place to which Jesus commanded the wicked be exiled and locked up forever.

The souls of the wicked are consigned to this horrible place, but it was not created for them. The Bible clearly states it was created for the devil and his angels, “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matthew 25:41). The souls of men go there because they choose to follow Satan’s kingdom and to reject God’s offer of forgiveness and salvation. Such a multitude has chosen Satan and his world over God and His offer that Hell must be constantly enlarged. The Bible states, “Therefore Hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it” (Isaiah 5:14).

There are literally three Hells that await the wicked persons and even morally good people that reject Jesus Christ. God created us for Himself. To reject His Lordship over our lives is to be lost forever. Hell will be filled with the most despicable of wicked souls, but also the careless souls who live valuable lives but refuse the mastery of Christ.

The first Hell is in this life and is represented by multitudes that hear the Gospel, experience the Spirit’s conviction, but sin away the grace His Spirit offers. Noah’s day was a picture of these blasphemous persons that rejected mercy and died in the flood. A growing spirit of blasphemy is gripping our world. Once the Holy Spirit withdraws Himself from a person, it is Hell on earth for that soul. A great majority of today’s population is on this road to despair. Probably the greatest percentage of today’s world has sinned away grace than at any time since those that rejected Noah’s message and laughed at the ark he was building. There is a growing hatred for the prophecy message because it represents the same truth and escape as Noah’s Ark.

Hell in the center of our earth is the present place of every lost soul that has died since creation. Preachers in our day are preaching a vast number of souls into Heaven that are forever damned in Hell. Nothing could be sadder than the deception about Hell in our pulpits. If anger can make Hell worse, there will certainly be a multitude of ministers that will be cursed by the lost for eternity. Jesus settled the question of eternal fire in His Biblical story of the rich man and Lazarus. Jesus’ exact words were, “And in Hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame” (Luke16:23-24). Anyone that denies that Hell is a place of eternal fire and torment speaks the language of Biblical confusion and denial.

The third possibility of Hell is called the “Lake of Fire.” The Bible gives the location of this damnable place. The ruins of the City of Babylon have been the very center of satanic activities since early history. John describes the scene, “And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation (dwelling place) of devils, and the hold (captive) of every foul spirit, and a cage (locked) of every unclean and hateful bird”(Revelation 18:2).

Isaiah describes the joining of Hell in the heart of the Earth to the ruins of Babylon, where the Lake of Fire will be located. Concerning Satan being cast into the Lake of Fire, he stated, “Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations” (Isaiah 14:9). The multitudes that are dying without the righteousness of Christ are forever lost. Hell may be full, but it is enlarging its border for the next wave of the damned. The name of Jesus Christ alone is God’s escape from eternal judgment in unquenchable fire.

The Dake’s Bible: Hagin’s and Copeland’s Doctrines

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

The Dake’s Bible was the foundation of many Kenneth Hagin’s and Kenneth Copeland’s heresies. You cannot call most of his key writings anything less than heresy. He begins his commentary on the New Testament by declaring with an unequivocal statement that Jesus Christ was not the Anointed Son of God until He was baptized by John the Baptist at 30 years of age. His full statement direct from his commentary will be stated below but to set the record as we begin, he stated, “who became the Christ or the “Anointed one” 30 years after he was born of Mary.” That statement leaves no room for doubting what Dake means and it is false and damning to the soul. Jesus Christ said of Himself “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. (Revelation 1:8) He was conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of a virgin. There was no sin nature in Him. John stated, And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us….”(John 1:14a)At twelve years of age he confounded the Learned at the Temple in Jerusalem by allowing the Words of His Divine nature to flow out of Him.

Add to the above fallacy his Mormon idea of the Heavenly Father and his declaration that the Ten Commandments were completely “Abolished” and you have “Modern Christianity” that is totally bankrupt. No wonder a multitude of Pentecostals have lost their way. The Dake’s Bible penetrated the Pentecostal churches 40 – 50 years ago. Benny Hinn declared from his former pulpit in Florida that there were nine (9) persons in the Divine Trinity. When he was corrected for his mis-statement he sighted the Dake’s Bible as his source. Imagine a man so known by the church world saying that there were three persons in the Father, three in the Son and three in the Holy Ghost. You will see this source in Dake’s Commentary futher down in this article.

No biblical solid minister or Bible student would accept this quote from Dake’s Bible. It is rank heresy and must be totally rejected or our view of Jesus Christ as the eternal Son of God is compromised. To suggest that Jesus became the Christ or the “Anointed One” thirty years after His birth is to commit heresy. This is an ancient heresy that is called “adoptionism.” Kenneth Scott Latourette stated in his book, History of Christianity, Volume I, the following: “Others, called the Ebionites, maintained that Jesus was merely a man, a prophet, a spokesman for God, as were the great Hebrew prophets of the past. Although some of them accepted the virgin birth of Jesus, others are said to have taught that Jesus was the son of Joseph and Mary, that at His baptism Christ descended upon him in the form of a dove, that he then proclaimed the unknown Father, but that Christ who could not suffer, departed from him at his crucifixion.” (Latourette, page 121-122, Harper Collins).

That’s where the Haginites or Copelanites get the doctrine that Jesus Christ had to go to hell and be born again. In their teaching He became the Christ, or the anointed at baptism but then had to lay it aside at the cross and pick it up at His resurrection. We have Paul Crouch saying on Camera that Jesus Christ’s Divine nature returned when He arose. Here is Dake’s full quote that sets the order of this deception, “Gr. Christos, ‘Anointed.’ – Used in N.T. 577 times. Like the name “Jesus” it has no reference to deity, but to the humanity of the Son of God, who became the Christ or the “Anointed One” 30 years after He was born of Mary. God “made” Him both Lord and Christ. The Heb. Is ‘Messiah’.” (Dake’s Annotated Reference Bible, Finis Jennings Dake, Lawrenceville, Georgia, New Testament, p. 1.)

I have tapes in my library with Crouch and Copeland on a TBN broadcast stating that Jesus never claimed to be God. Those quotes sound almost like a word for word expression right out of the Dake’s Bible. These men and women, from Dake to many key leader of the Charismatic world, talk about Jesus out of both sides of their mouths. One moment they seem to exalt Him properly, but then they say these careless things that are utterly confusing. This gives a perfect fulfillment of Jesus’ very words in St. Matthew. Read these words of the Lord Himself. “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” (Matthew 24:5).

Dake And Mormonism! There is an abundance of confusion in Dake’s Bible and his other writings. None can be worse than the quote we started with this Salty Saints, but other departures from truth certainly paint a picture of utter confusion. His teachings on God, the Father that are found in his notes on the book of St. John are extremely revealing. Read these words carefully. “He is a person with a personal spirit body, a personal soul, and a personal spirit, like that of angels, and like that of man except His body is out of spirit substance instead of flesh and bones. He has a personal spirit body; shape; form; image and likeness of a man. He has bodily parts such as, back parts, heart, hands and fingers, mouth, lips and tongue, feet, eyes, ears, hair, head, face, arms, loins, and other bodily parts. He has bodily presence and goes from place to place in a body like all other persons. “He has a voice; breath; and countenance. He wears clothes; eats; rests; dwells in a mansion and in a city located on a material planet called Heaven; sits on a throne; walks; rides; engages in other activities. (ibid.,P.96-97)

Dake Limits God’s Eternal Omnipotence and Omnipresence! Here is an unbelievable commentary that is given within the story of Abraham and his visit by the pre-incarnate Christ. He suggests that God did not know what was happening in Sodom and Gomorrah and came to find out. Dake’s stated, “Here we have another proof that God receives knowledge of true conditions and becomes acquainted with existing facts. This plainly teaches that God, as well as men and angels, is limited to one place as far as the body is concerned. The doctrine of omnipresence of God can be proved, but not His omnibody. In His body He goes from place to place like other persons. Abraham stood yet before the bodily presence of God, but not before the bodily presence of the 2 angels because they went to Sodom and were no longer bodily present.” (ibid., Old Testament, p. 15.)

The False Concept of “Little Gods”! Dake not only was confused about the omnipotence of God, but he also taught that man was a miniature of God. In conjunction with Dake’s commentary on the Book of Job, he wrote about the idea called anthropomorphism. Under that heading, he said some strange things. Anthropomorphism is the ascription of human bodily parts, attributes, and passions to God, and taking the substantiating statements of Scripture to be literal, and not figurative. In support of such teaching an appropriate question is: If God did not mean all He said about Himself in over 20,000 scriptures then why did He say such things? They certainly do not add to a true understanding of Him if the passages do not mean what they say. Furthermore, why would God, in hundreds of places, refer to Himself as having bodily parts, soul passions, and spirit faculties if He does not have them? Would it be necessary for Him to tell us He has such in order to reveal that He does not have them? Would He not be more likely to say in plain language that He does not have eyes, hands, mouth, ears, and other bodily members?” (ibid.,, Old Testament, p. 547.)

Dake Carries the Idea of Christ Emptying Himself to a Dangerous Extreme! The Son of God did indeed empty Himself to become the Son of man. What is extremely important is that this emptying was not a forsaking of His eternal essence, but an emptying of manifesting that essence. He was never void of His divine essence, but He did limit Himself not to express them while depending wholly on His Father and the Holy Spirit. Dake either did not understand the above or he willingly rejected it. Here are some of his statements on the subject: “Christ emptied Himself of His authority in heaven and in earth, which was given back to Him after the resurrection.” “Christ emptied Himself of His divine attributes and outward powers that He had with the Father from eternity. He had no power to do miracles until He received the Holy Spirit in all fullness. He could do nothing of Himself in all His earthly life. He attributed all His works, doctrines, powers, etc. to the Father through the anointing of the Holy Spirit.” “Isaiah speaks of the Messiah being born without knowledge enough to know to refuse the evil and choose the good.” “Isaiah predicted that the Messiah would be born without the tongue of the learned, without knowing how to speak a word in season to help any soul, and that He would be wakened day by day to increase in knowledge and wisdom.” “He did not claim the attributes of God, but only the anointing of the Spirit to do His works.” (Ibid.,NT.P, 218)

All of this false teaching is dangerous in a local church or among one congregation but when it is expending into a widely read Bible Commentary it become Spiritual suicide. I just discovered his plain teaching that the Ten Commandments were “Abolished”. This added to all the above leaves the people under this dark influence hopelessly lost. The Apostle John said, “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” (I John 2:4) There were no Commandments separate between the Old Testament and the New. Jesus clarified this in His great statement in the Olivet Discourse. “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil (Complete).” (Matthew 5:17) Here is the dismissal of Christ plain truth by the Dake”s Bible. “The 10 commandments in particular were abolished alone with the whole law of Moses.”(ibid., p, 193)

Conclusion! Finis Dake’s Bible is without question filled with questionable commentaries. It is not the reading material for young, immature Christians or undiscerning ministers. It has just enough truth to make his error seem plausible and convincing. He surely has convinced a host of modern day Pentecostals and Charismatics. No one would suggest that he is singularly responsible for the theological mess that floods these churches, but neither should he be excused for his part. Often when a figure such as Dake is dead, his teaching becomes even more powerful and accepted. Godly men and women must return to the simple Word of God and quit depending on popular figures to do their interpreting of truth. The Bible will interpret itself if you will: “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (II Timothy 2:15).

“AND THE WORLD PASSETH AWAY…” I John 2:17

Thursday, July 14th, 2011

(SALTY SAINTS) Not only is the world about to pass away but every person of this world and living by this world’s pleasures and compromises is going to be judged with it. Make yourself a list of everything that is of this world and greatly loved by this world and those are the things that will not be part of God’s coming Eternal Kingdom. When you are finished then separate yourself from all those worldly things and you will be ready for God’s Holy Spirit to possess you and to go in the Rapture. This separation must be the work of Christ’s Grace and the cleansing of His Blood or it is nothing but self-righteousness.

Apostle John echoed this wonderful truth in his First Epistle. He said, by the Holy Ghost, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” (I John 2:15-17)

The church world has become so worldly that the world is perfectly ready to be churchy. The mega-religions (churches, ministries, etc.) are a perfect picture of this sad development. Big time religion has replaced old-time religion and even the secular world knows it’s all a sham. The power of the Blood is still mighty to transform. The beauty of this transforming power is that Christ becomes the center focus of those it touches. This is not a redemption that starts without and works inward but it starts within and works outward. “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new“. (2 Cor. 5:17)

Romans is the book called “The Romans’ Road,” but those that walk it must receive all of it. The Spirit said, “Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin“ (Romans. 6:6). This life is absolutely the greatest life of our human existence. Anything less is sub-human and misses the precious glory of our Lord.

The Kingdom God is presently rising in spite of what we see in the natural. In fact it has always been true that the darkest moments are just prior to the dawn. When sin gets so arrogant and haughty, that’s when God the Father says, “That’s enough.” I like what Peter said on the day of Pentecost as he preached his mighty sermon. He made it clear that the entire plan of God was on target. “Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool.” (Acts 2:33-35)

When I read that passage this morning as I was before the Lord, my spirit leaped with joy. This world and the worldly crowd does not appreciate the Godly saints that do not want the world and it’s compromise. They do not just reject us, they hate us. We are a sore thumb to them and they want to destroy us. Be sweet while they fester, we will be out of here just before most of them implode. Many will already be judged even before our escape.

Consider everything that has so captured the imagination of our present society. Take every expression of the world and consider how little of it will fit the coming Kingdom of God in the Millennium and in New Jerusalem and the entire Redeemed World. The entertainment world of night life, drinking, dancing, and often immorality will be non-existent shortly. The jewelry and cosmetic industries will be out of business. The immoral dress styles and all their designers and manufacturers will be bankrupt. The tobacco and alcohol crowd will be assigned to the region of the damned.

The producers of smut will be in the Lake of Fire along with every corrupt soul. The Saints will be beautified with the glory of righteousness. There will be no effeminate men and masculine women dressed in the cross-cultural styles of a debauched society. I guarantee that every one of you know this already when you dare to really think biblically. Listen to this breathtaking Word from Jesus Christ. “And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.” (Luke 16:15)

Everything this world and the worldly crowd love and chase are things the Bible says are an abomination. You can actually judge right and wrong to a great degree by what the world thinks. If they love it you should run from it. Sure we live in this world and we must use certain things for a normal existence. Jesus prayed for us like this. “I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” (John 17:15-17)

The Methodists under John Wesley lived this separated life or they were not allowed to be Methodist. Dwight L. Moody would walk to preach on Sunday before he would pay to ride a carriage on the Lord’s Day. On and on we can trace Christianity when it was real and when society was being shaken to the teeth by Holy Ghost conviction. When separation from the world returns to the Saints, the Spirit of conviction will shake our communities. Nothing else will survive the coming upheaval.

When We See Jesus in Midair

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

There has never been a more spectacular sight than when we see Jesus Calling for His Bride! I’ve been reading about the ancient city of Alexandria before the time of Christ. Their great drama of pageantry marching down the Ceremony Boulevard called “Canopic Way” appeared and sounded from another world. Yet nothing of human history will match seeing the great Bridegroom with His innumerable Living Creatures, Cherubims and Seraphims plus the host of heaven descend from Heavenly Jerusalem. The sky will dazzle with beauty beyond the pale of this world system.

Every expression of Heaven’s beauty will be manifest in this long prophesied moment. David spoke by the Holy Spirit of the Rapture and Christ’s appearance with the following words, “All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the Ivory places, whereby they have made thee glad.” (Psalms 45:8) That great city that Apostle Paul declared an unnamed man (Actually himself) had seen will be gleaming in the backdrop. He spoke of it as in the third heavens and our Bible indicates that the second heavens will vanish so this city of Ivory will be gleaming in the sky.

This Apostle had never lacked for words but was rendered incapable of describing the glory he witnessed. He would not allow himself to identify that he was the man to behold such splendor.“I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body: I cannot tell; whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body: I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.” (II Corinthians 12:2-5)

We must believe that all the matchless glory of Heaven will accompany this eternal Son of God as the Father sends Him to possess His Raptured Bride. There has never been an entourage as will accompany this Triumphant King. He keeps His promise to His disciples. “Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (St. John 14: 1-3)

We will not view Him as the Son of man, but as both Son of Man and Son of God. He will be clothed in the glory He had with the Father before this world began. “And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.” (John 17:5) When He descends to meet His Bride we will see the same glory that John saw in the first chapter of Revelation. Listen as John describes the details of his vision and drama that was revealed to him. “And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.” (Revelations 1:12-13)

The Son of God was given a name which is above every name by His Father and the first title was that of the Eternal High Priest that dwells in the Holy of Holies. The beauty of this office is far superior to an earthly priest and His attire was witness to the same. “His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.” (Revelations 1:14-15)

He is the ancient of days and His entire person is clothed with a manifestation of the Divine that we as earthly souls cannot grasp. When we see Him this state of His being will startle us to speechlessness. His knowledge of us will make every weakness magnified a thousand times. The only grace that can stand before Him will be Divine Grace. His voice will sound like a thousand orchestras. Beauty and clarity will be of a Divine quality.

When careless people talk of going in this Rapture they know nothing of the true reality of His Holiness. There is a multitude of people that talk of this event like it is just another party or earthly celebration. This hour will be the culmination of six thousand years of prophecy and it will be a moment of sheer splendor for the righteousness, but unsurpassed terror for the impure and sinful. The foolish virgins will be left with nothing but a sad knocking on a closed door.

The very atmosphere of this Glorious day will be full of awesome righteousness. The wicked will search for a hiding place. We will see Him as He is and His glory will leave no doubt of His external plans for His own. Jesus Christ Himself prophesied, “For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” (Matthew 24:27)

The midair above us will be the Hallelujah Boulevard where the Bridegroom will appear with His Heavenly entourage. The unholy will flee in terror while the righteous arise to join the grandeur. One writer spoke of the righteous dead being as “dust that sings”. Paul said of the living saints, “The mortal shall put on immortality.” Ready or not, here He comes!

A Special Album, “THE MEETING IN THE AIR” Can be ordered to educate you of many emenies against the coming RAPTURE. Ten Broadcast with subjects like “Chilling sounds after the Rapture” and “Tribulation Saints”. TEN (10) CDs or Cassettes. Call 1 800 338 7884 or e-mail us at jrc@pawcreek.org .

Cherubims are Riding Their Chariots

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

ANGELS ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY BUSY AND ACTIVE AS THE RAPTURE AND THE GREAT TRIBULATION IS AT HAND! The great prophecies of Ezekiel are as current as reading the daily news. The Cherubims that were prominent in Ezekiel’s day are quickly becoming prominent today. Cherubims are a special order of God’s celestial creatures, a type of Brigadier Generals leading an army of angels. There are either four Cherubims or four bands of Cherubims. The Bible is not perfectly clear whether there are four bands of Cherubims, or four Cherubims leading bands of servant angels. These incredible angels are called “beasts” in the book of Revelation; but today’s English is better translated as “Living Creatures.” These are the same great celestial creatures that we witness in the Bible in Genesis chapter three. “So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.” (Genesis 3:24)

An extremely important responsibility has been assigned by our great Creator to these Cherubims. They are the keepers of holiness in the entire universe but especially assigned as keepers of holiness in the earth. No unrighteousness can ever escape their scrutiny. It was probably a Cherubim who brought the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah to the attention of the Lord in the day of Abraham. “And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.” (Genesis 18:20-21) Righteousness is the character that the Creator determined for the whole earth, and anything less disturbs every expression of life on the planet. These Cherubims are constantly supervising every activity of man, every expression of nature, and every aspect of life on this earth in total. There is a price for every sin unless there is quick, honest repentance.

These great Cherubims create an exciting picture in Ezekiel’s prophecy. This is the one primary description of them in Scripture. “And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.” (Ezekiel 1:4-5)They appear like a fire “infolding itself”, or a fire contained and burning within rather than burning without. Their brightness expresses the character of their God, whose glory in righteousness they manifest and defend. Their speed is like lightning; in fact, I would suggest that all lightning is an expression of their activities, or at least a reminder of their activities. These celestial beings have been provided with chariots that Ezekiel describes as wheels in the middle of wheels that make a dazzling display of the Father’s glory.

The Cherubims were prepared by the Heavenly Father to strike terror into the hearts of the wicked. Reading the first chapters of Ezekiel will convince anyone of the darkness and dread of sin. What mortal man dares to challenge the holiness of God protected by such awesome beings? Listen! “As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four. And when the Living Creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the Living Creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.” (Ezekiel 1:18-19) Every action of man in all the universe is known to these awesome Cherubims and their great bands of angels. Jesus is called the “Lord of Sabaoth” which means “the Lord of a host.” All angels of the many ranks are under His mastery and do His bidding. No wonder these great celestial creatures will be present at the Rapture and gathered around the throne in Revelation Chapter Four.

When the saints are caught up to the Father’s presence in Revelation four, these “keepers of righteousness” are there to represent the Father’s glory and His holiness. Do not think for a moment that anyone will be accepted unless sin has been forsaken and forgiven by Christ’s blood. John said, “And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four Beasts full of eyes before and behind.” (Revelation 4:6)An announcement was made by each of these four Cherubims at the opening of the first four seals of the great book of redemption in Revelation chapters six. The four “Living Creatures” actually announced the four horses and riders which was the fulfillment of themselves, and their defense of holiness during the Seven Years of Tribulation. His “keepers of righteousness” will be an intimate part of the future fulfillment of the book of Revelation.

At the present time, there is a growing sense that the environment of the earth and the great calamities of hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados, etc., are destroying, and they surely are. These Cherubims of God were clearly the great angels that were involved in Sodom and Gomorrah when judgment was manifest. The Scripture teaches, “And while he lingered, the men [Cherubims] laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.” (Genesis 19:16-17) Every angelic act that involves the defense of holiness identifies those angels as Cherubims.

Many of the key locations of recent storms are hotbeds of filth and wickedness. New Orleans is a case in point. The hurricane named “Katrina” arrived in that wicked city of voodoo and distorted sex only three days before the city was scheduled for a baptism of homosexuals and lesbians. These Cherubims of God know clearly where every main area of unrestrained conduct and lifestyle is welcomed. Any city that hangs out the welcome sign for such filth is also attracting the concern of God’s “Living Creatures.” Every citizen in such cities should be concerned and even consider moving. New York state is one of the latest locations where the righteousness of God has been blasphemed.

The mighty hand of God, in the Person of the Holy Spirit, is directly involved with these Cherubims. Ezekiel stated, “Whithersoever the Spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.” (Ezekiel 1:20) Isaiah stated, “So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard [Cherubims standing in restraint] against him.” (Isaiah 59:19) The word “standard” means a barrier between you and the enemy. That is the very purpose of the Cherubims – to defend righteousness and holiness. Many have been the Cherubims that came to stand beside or behind the godly saint that was in jeopardy.

These great celestial creatures, Living Creatures or Cherubims, have been clearly visible all through the Holy Scripture. Their responsibility is the “keepers of holiness and righteousness” on earth. That also means the defense of holy and righteous saints that dare to live separated from the defilement of our world, and that stand without compromise for His unfailing truth. If you live an uncompromising life, these majestic Cherubims will be intimately connected to your walk, to your ministry, and to your protection. You will have a defense that knows no limits and you will not need to defend yourself.

If you are compromising Bible Holiness or fighting against a Minister or Ministry that is standing strong for Truth I warn you of what will, not maybe, but will happen. Our Heavenly Father is patient but when His patience is finished it is awesome to behold His defence of righteousness. Churches and individuals that are forsaking the Infallible Scripture are soon to face the wrath of the Father, His Son, the Holy Ghost and a multitude of angels and even His saints. “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds…” (Jude 1: 14-15a) Judgment is so near that there is a sense of awe in the air.

Satan Wants You To Laugh About Hell, But He Doesn’t

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

Denying Eternal Hell is an affront to Calvary! (PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU CAN) Hell is a hot subject. In fact, it is one of the hottest subjects in the Bible and is used fifty-three times, not to mention its synonyms. David, by the Holy Ghost, said, “The wicked shall be turned into Hell, and all the nations that forget God.” (Psalm 9:17). He also said that the prostitute’s guests are in the depths of Hell. (Proverbs 9:18). It was Isaiah who proclaimed, “…Hell hath enlarged herself.” (Isaiah 5:14). The infallible Word of God has clearly revealed the mind and truth of the eternal God regarding the truth of Hell. To deny a literal eternal Hell of fire and brimstone is to blaspheme the Holy Bible. It also reduces the teachings of Jesus Christ to being riddled with error. It makes Him a fear monger to dare proclaim the story of the rich man that died and cried out of Hell. Such a story is extreme and misguided unless Jesus was indeed the spotless Lamb of God declaring the absolute truth.

Denying Hell is an Insult to Calvary! Our God so loved His beautiful world and His created family that had fallen into sin that He sent His only Begotten Son to be His sacrifice for their sins. Why would the Sovereign God of this universe offer His Son on a cruel cross if there was no eternal penalty for sin? Such thinking is insanity. The Son of God is eternal and has inhabited eternity forever. Yet, He stepped out of that realm to become the Son of Man. He is the “Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” (Revelation 1:8). He left eternity and descended into time and space for a short season. Hell had been created for the devil and his angels, but now God’s human family was in danger. Justice demanded that sinful men be given the same punishment as sinful angels. The Holy God is perfectly just and the penalty of sin had to be paid.

Man was created below the angels and the higher order. Since man was created on a human level and the angel Lucifer had wrought this terrible fall of men, God provided mankind a sacrifice. Calvary is God’s wonderful plan to save the human family from sin and Hell fire. To speak of the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ on any other level is to insult, even blaspheme, the greatest love story of this universe. How could God create us in His own image if we are not eternal for good or bad

But, Calvary was not just a picture of love, although love was at its very heart. The angels do not fly around His throne declaring love, love, love; they declare holy, holy, holy. Calvary was certainly the ultimate picture of love, but what it really proved was holiness. God is holy and His Son hanging on a cruel cross is God’s greatest example of His holiness. His Son had to become sin for us. He, who knew no sin and existed in the divine without even the possibility of sin, had now taken sin upon His own soul as a human substitute. That substitute is now man’s escape from a burning Hell. Every soul that clings in faith to His shed blood is washed from sin and all its power to damn. You cannot deny Hell as long as you stand in the shadow of Calvary. The person that denies Hell fire has forgotten or never knew the heavenly joy of being washed from all their sins. The hope of Calvary demands the hopelessness of Hell to justify its cost to God and His Son.

Calvary was a living hell! Calvary was the closest thing to Hell any man had ever experienced without going there. The Son of God had an equivalent experience of being totally forsaken by God as a person cast into Hell experiences. That’s the meaning of His heartrending words, “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” (Matthew 27:46). For three hours He hung writhing on His cross with a total sense of separation from His Father. It’s impossible for us to understand or know the union with the Heavenly Father that the Son of God knew. They were one from eternity, inseparable, until the Father smote Him in death and let Him hang there as a sin sacrifice for three dark hours. It was Hell for the Son of Man to be so utterly forsaken. Maybe He will explain to us in eternity the price He paid for our salvation.

But, it doesn’t end there. While the Son of God was on the cross, He uttered “seven statements” that actually define the depth of His death. The first three reveal His undying love for humankind. The second two reveal the Hellish experience of His suffering and the last two reveal His glorious triumph. One of the two that reveals His horrible death experience is the quote regarding being forsaken. The other is more revealing than I ever before imagined. He uttered a breathtaking expression which appeared to arrest those individuals that were beneath His cross. These individuals were the ones that had nailed Him to the tree and were waiting to finish their dark deeds. It appeared that He suddenly proclaimed, “I thirst.” Those words have intrigued many readers and writers, but we have missed their utter significance. Jesus told of a rich man that went to Hell and begged for Father Abraham to send Lazarus to dip his finger in water and cool his tongue. There is no question, but that the cry of Hell is, “Water, water, water.” Up and down the corridors of that horrible place, men are begging and screaming for water.

When the Son of Man was experiencing the throbs of His horrible excruciating death and was forsaken by His God of which He was One, He cried out, “I thirst.” Hell is indeed a real place, but it is more than just a place, it is a state of existence where all things beautiful and satisfying are lost. The Son of God so experienced the penalty of sin for us that He suffered the pains of being completely emptied of all that makes life bearable. He experienced the utter emptiness of a man lost and desperate for the most basic need of water. It was as though His cry, “I thirst,” was an echo of the rich man’s cry for “water.” He was on that cross for us that we might be “forever saved.” I believe His Words, “I thirst,” can be called, “Sounds from Hell.”

The Rich Man and Sounds Out of Hell! Jesus told this vivid story that was mentioned above of the rich man that died and went to Hell. Jesus gave him no name because his name had already rotted, but the poor beggar in the story was named Lazarus. Jesus said, “… the rich man also died, and was buried; And in Hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.” (Luke 16:23-24). This story is above all an effort by the Son of God to give us a clear picture of eternal torments for the wicked. When, at the beginning of this article, I said,“Hell is a hot subject,”it was meanst to be literal. It is not imaginary or some unconcious state. Hell is full of misery and torments so breathtaking as to cause a constant chorus of miserable sounds. Nothing describes misery more than the sounds which misery creates.

Visit a hospital where desperate men and women are patients. Their appearance may be extremely sad and even depressing but their cries and screams can be utterly terrifying. There is no question but that the screams of suffering individuals are more overwhelming than other aspects of their pitiful state. The screams of Hell are enough to make this eternal destination of the wicked the most horrible place in God’s universe.

The rich man was in torments, and his cries and requests reveal just how real the place really was. Look at this list of words which Jesus stated that came from His lips. Jesus said, “He cried.”.” Abraham responded to him by saying, “Son, remember…” The rich man said, “I pray thee,” and then showed “compassion” towards his lost family. He was clearly a different man than the one that refused to even provide the crumbs from his table for the beggar. Hell had stripped him of his arrogance and rebellion. The sounds of his words make unprepared men with an honest conscious tremble. What our world needs is for the church and the praying saints to get a fresh vision of the horrors of Hell until we are terrified by these words from the lips of a damned man.

Left Behind “A Multitude That Cannot Repent”

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

The impossibility to repent and to make your voice heard with God is awesome to consider. THAT TIME IS ALMOST HERE!! Add to this sad condition the fact that Jesus has come, the Rapture of the Bride is finished, and you are left behind for the judgment to occur. The strange emptiness toward God and spiritual matters will be penetrating. Suddenly, you remember the way you rejected God’s will for your life and chose the way of self and sin. You may remember the Godly, Holy life you once knew and lived. You may have even been a Holiness minister yourself, but the way was tough and many rejected your message so you decide to soften it and become accommodating. But, now, your strange emptiness turns swiftly to utter despair as your soul bears witness to the complete certainty that there is no hope for you. It’s over, you have rejected Him so completely in the past, and, now, He has rejected you. Now, you know you cannot repent.

God’s infallible Word gives us a clear picture of this future fact. Apostle Paul is warning the church of the Thessalonians about the Rapture and the appearing of the Antichrist after the Rapture. His words are perfectly clear. “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (II Thessalonians 2:7-12)

This text explains how the Antichrist is restrained from appearing until after the Restrainer (He that letteth) is removed with the Bride of Jesus Christ. Then, his appearing (the Antichrist) will be dramatic and even demonic. He will be the master deceiver, fully empowered by the devil with paranormal powers to impress and deceive. His deceiving power will be especially directed by God’s decree against those that had rejected or forsaken the truth of the Holy Scripture. The darkest time of this deception is after the Rapture, but a lesser level is already at work. The first verse above says, “the mystery of iniquity doth already work.” The spirit of deception has preceded the person of evil himself. Present deception is terrible, but only light compared to after the Restrainer, the Holy Ghost, is gone.

This very hour and this generation is the most dangerous period in church history. Jesus warned of this stressful and dangerous period when evil and sin would become so dominating of the world that living holy would seem impossible. His words were, “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” (Matthew 24:12) The world is almost as if hell has taken over and Righteousness and Holiness seem so outdated and even strange. Family members and friends will compromise their lifestyle and then pressure you with unrelenting fury to do the same. Just remember, it’s your wedding garment, and you are responsible to keep it clean by your total surrender to the cleaning Blood and keeping power of His Spirit.

“MY SPIRIT SHALL NOT ALWAYS STRIVE WITH MAN…” For over four thousands years the Heavenly Father has warned the world that His Spirit has a limit. “And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.” (Genesis 6:3) He was speaking to Noah’s generation, the same generation that Jesus named in Matthew chapter twenty-four. He compared that generation with the generation when the Rapture would occur. There is a multitude in this very hour that the Spirit is withdrawing His plea. This is going to escalate until the Rapture and then a multitude of religious apostates are going to be left to their schemes and false ideas of Christianity.

The church world has created an endless list of religious ideas that give them an excuse to sin. The doctrine of “once saved, always saved” is one of the worst false schemes of them all. It would not be so bad if men were told that there is no license to live in sin and those that go back to their evil ways were probably never saved. Yet, to teach that even fornication and sodomy, along with a long list of other vile sins, cannot negate your redeemed stature before God is utterly false. There is a multitude right out of this false idea that is being deluded beyond hope. They live like sin is a joke and that God has already forgiven whatever sin in which they choose to indulge.

No one can deny that conviction of sin is rare today. Most sinners have no conscience and treat any idea of right and wrong with disdain. Ministers have retreated in their pulpits to pretty platitudes and psychobabble. To rail against adulterers, cheating, defiling the Sabbath, or any major sin is to be profoundly scorned. Religious television is more dangerous than MTV. There is an all-seeing Eye watching and He will shortly act to change the worldview of sin. Isaiah by the Holy Spirit settled this subject… When thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.” (Isaiah 26:9)? One of his most breathtaking words from God were, “Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies.” (Isaiah 28:17a)

Doctrines That Destroy Truth! There are doctrines like the “Born Again Jesus” theology that have totally destroyed the saving message of the Gospel. Millions have surrendered to the spirit of these false doctrines even though many do not understand them. There is no redemption in this message. Any person that has embraced Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, and most of the Charismatic teachers has also embraced this spirit and no longer cherishes the bloodstained cross. This is one of the darkest of the End Time delusion. Doctrines like the “Born Again Jesus” theology make those that embrace the doctrine, or even the spirit of this doctrine, arrogant and unteachable. These doctrinal lies are subtle and many people that embrace these strange teachers do not appear to care what they are being taught enough to search the Scripture. The hyper-Charismatic teachers have deluded tens of millions that will be turned over to reprobate minds because they did not prove all things by the Word of God and the discernment of the Spirit of God.

The present church world is overwhelmed and overjoyed with the new “sinner friendly church” and its soft message and loud swaying music. It’s a perfect picture of apostasy. From Robert Shuller and Bill Hybel to Rick Warren, it’s a march of easy believism preparing another multitude to believe a lie. Rick Warren’s book,The Purpose Driven Life, is clearly the most deceptive work of my lifetime. It’s a lie wrapped in babble so clever that any religious person can claim it if there is no strong discernment by a Christ-centered heart.

A radical acceptance of the Word of God is the only view of Scripture that does not leave man vulnerable to judgment. Jesus made it clear that His Word is perfect and must be held in total faith. He said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4) This was also made plain in II Thessalonians. The indictment declared that, “…they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” (II Thessalonians 2:10)No person can come to Jesus and say; “I believe part of Your Word so I want to be saved.” Even if you believe the sacrifice of His Blood and claim faith in that Blood, but reject the rest of the Word, your faith is unacceptable. These religious trends are the purest evidence of apostasy and preparations to believe the lie. Multitudes of these apostate people will be outside of grace after the Rapture. They chose new religious ideas over the infallible Word of God. It was their choice and now the result is delusion and judgment.(PLEASE ORDER THE REST OF THIS GREAT STUDY. ASK FOR B1010!).

The Soul That Longeth After God

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

Only the souls who long after God will have any assurance of Salvation. Multitudes claim religion but the Lord Jesus is only a small part of their life. They know He is real and that He died for their sins but they have never experienced Him. If Jesus Christ ever steps into your life with resurrection power you will long and even “pant” for Him. “As the hart panted after the water brooks, so panted my soul after thee, O God.” (Psalms 42:1)To pant for Him is an extreme passion that consumes your life. He created us in His Image with a God shaped vacuum within the human spirit. When He is allowed to move into that sacred domain of your life you will never be the same.

Once He is Lord of all, and He will not be Lord of less, your passions are toward Him in every facet of life. You will literally fall in love with the Bible. The Book that was obscure in the past suddenly reads like a love story from the Divine. You could not understand it when you did not know Him. The moment He became real your Bible became real. You will no longer want some common language Bible, you will want a Bible that sounds like another world, because it really is from another world. Sermons that are tough and striking will be a joy and quickly become thrilling and sanctifying. These modern entertainers will be a joke to you.

Modern pastors have been trained to mesmerize you. They have created a mystic around themselves and the flock, especially the ladies, swoon to hear them and watch them perform. The whole mega-church world its last hour. It is blasphemy for men who claim to be from God to allow such worship of themselves and they will be consumed in the process of their folly. We have already viewed the shipwreck of many. Nothing has done greater damage to the church than these corporation style churches that offer thousands a religious hiding place and playground.

Sunday night church is almost gone because there is no passion to feed on the Word of God. A movie, television, or swapping tales with a friend is more enjoyable than fellowship from the Spirit world. A Sunday morning laugh-in has given them religion for the week. This level of Christianity is actually not even equal to the “lukewarm that He will spue out of His mouth.” At least that was called a church and this generation has rejected the very word “church.” Most churches have been remade into an entertainment center where they drink coffee and eat donuts while the laugh-in progresses.

The sanctified soul is repulsed by such cheapening of the lofty matters of our Great God. Where are the Saints that can quote the Twenty-third Psalm and experience wonderful Rapture just thrilling to such language. “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.” (Psalms 23:1-6)

Such truth as this great revelation fills the Holy Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Our Lord was not any more real to the Old Testament Saints than He wants to be to you. Look at Isaiah’s great call for the saints to feast on the Holy Bible and the life of his Spirit. ” Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.” (Isaiah 55:1-2)

These Old Testament Saints lived in only the shadow of what we are privileged to enjoy. Apostle Paul made the Spiritual life that we can experience a beautiful life beyond measure. Millions of His Saints have walked with Him in His glory during church history. This generation has been the first generation since Pentecost to show the world so few real saints full of the Spirit. Listen to this mighty man of God: “Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.” (11 Corinthians 3:6-10)

We are invited to sit together in Heavenly Places with our Father, His Son, and the Holy Spirit. Four times in the one book of Ephesians Paul spoke of sitting together in Heavenly Places. The Holy Ghost did not come to be an unknown presence in the midst of the church. The Tabernacle and the Temple of Soloman was filled with His Shekinah presence. Many times during church history His Saints have seen and experienced an even greater manifestation of His glory. It is going to happen again, but it cannot occur in dead churches where His glory is unwelcome. I am believing that we will see His Shekinah in our coming camp meeting. My soul longs for Him and for the fullness of His wonderful presence.

CAMP MEETING 2011 will begin on June 27th and conclude on July 3rd. Please go to the front page for details. The flier will give you a look at the list of Men Of God in the pulpit. Our night Evangelist is Reverend Eddie Sullivan. Motels are listed for your choices. Prices are extremely low in This area. No services on Saturday will Reverend Greg Roberts preaching on Sunday, July 3rd.
