He escaped out of their hand, but not for
long. Eventually, they caught up with
Him by trickery and we all know what they did to Him. Now what do you think would happen if He were
to come like a man again and preach the same Gospel of salvation these
days? You may not believe this, but in
today’s “Christian” world His Gospel is as popular now as it was in the Jewish
world. Proof of this is offered by two
people, who preach nothing but that same Gospel, yet end up being killed for
it. More on this later, but first a few
observations about our work.
We always
wanted to know which topics were of more interest to our readers so as to
inform them better. For about a decade,
we relied for this on our correspondence.
Some of it was gratifying, other unhelpful or critical. Then came the internet, and everything
changed. Since we put our magazines on
the worldwide web, written correspondence has drained to a trickle. Visits to our web site, however, have grown
from month to month, even though we have added a new edition only once a
year. We knew that the topics we dealt
with would remain of interest to our readers for a long time, or as long as they
themselves become familiar with the Scriptures, which has been our primary goal
from the very beginning.
We wanted to let people know that they have a source to which they can
turn to for spiritual enlightenment anytime, anywhere, freely, and without
anyone bothering them or asking questions about it. Judging by the increasing number of people
who visit us, we have achieved our goal.
However, as we have done in the past, we do it again. We advise everyone not to take for granted
that this site will always be here. We
have had many problems in the past, and know that we will have more in the
future. This is why we tell people to
download our magazines in their entirety as soon as possible, in order to have
them handy for the time when this site will be closed for good. It has already been closed for a number of
weeks recently, until we managed with considerable difficulty to open it up
again. We also want people to let us
know, even anonymously, what other topics they would want us to write on or
further elaborate upon.
One topic that has generated considerable discussion, even among
academics and university students, or perhaps we should say especially among
academics and university students engaged in Philosophical and Theological
Studies, is the one on Free Will versus Predestination. A well educated acquaintance of mine recently
said to me, “Tell me more about this predestination thing, how exactly does it
work?” This was more than a decade after we first wrote a lengthy article about
it in The Christian Herald No 6.
That prompted us to take a closer look at our computer statistics. To our surprise, that article still draws the
lion share of visits and hits. Until
then, we had only paid cursory attention to those statistics, which other than
showing us a steady increase in the number of visitors, didn’t ring any
particular bells with us.
In the early days of the internet, you did not get all that much
information anyway, at least our hosting company did not provide it to us, but
nowadays you can dissect such statistics whichever way you want: which articles
draw more people, where do they come from, how long they spend on them,
etc. Of course, they do not tell us the
identity of those people, nor do we want to know that. Unless people write to us, we do not want to
know who they are. When they write to
us, we strictly respect they privacy. We have never passed on such information
to third parties, who want it for advertising or other purposes. The readers, who requested an answer from us,
always received one, either directly or in articles. Other than that, we have never followed up
with further inquiries about their progress in the faith, nor have we made
requests for donations. We follow in the
steps of the Apostles of Jesus Christ, who worked with their own hands to
provide for their needs, never requesting donations from strangers, as we get
these days from people all over the world.
If they would read our writings carefully, they would know that this
work is supported by just two people, with no contributions whatsoever from
outside sources. We have relied on our
heavenly Father for support, and without failure He has provided it. It is amazing what one can achieve even on a
pension, when he does not smoke, does not gamble, does not shop beyond the
strictly necessary, etc.
God Almighty has so decided to pit us against our nemeses that make all
sorts of extravagant claims for tithes and offerings, for which they deliver
nothing but falsehood and perdition.
During the time of the Apostles, we could not have made this claim, for
although there were many false preachers and prophets around then, there were
also many who were genuine preachers of the true Gospel. Nowadays, however, it
is a different story. The Scriptures
make it clear that by the time of the return of Jesus Christ, there would be
none but two witnesses in the whole world who preach the true Gospel of
salvation. Everyone else is a false
preacher or a false prophet, as Jesus Christ and His Apostles referred to
them.
Towards the end of his ministry, Apostle Paul made this interesting
statement:
We cannot claim to have finished the race, for we know that there are
yet a few things to be accomplished, but we can say that we have fought the
good fight. No one has ever been able to
find a kink in the Gospel we preach, though many have grabbed with both hands
the few stumbles we encountered in unveiling biblical prophecies about our
time. Unlike our nemesis, we always
discussed them openly, always finding the reason, or reasons, for it. Hard to believe as this may be for some,
stumbling over dates and times is part of God’s prophecies. While this was, and is, expected of God’s
true servants, preaching a false Gospel is not.
Let us explain. Ever since the
time of Jesus Christ, is was in the heart of His followers to see Him return
quickly and establish the much desired
After every stumble, we went before the Almighty in fervent prayer
asking Him what went wrong, what have we done that caused things to turn that
way? Eventually it dawned on us, or
shall we say it was revealed to us, that we were going about it the wrong
way. When Jesus Christ said that one
ought not to give pearls to swine, for they could turn back and tear you to
pieces, He was not just mincing words, He meant it, and we disregarded that
advice.
Mat 7:6
"Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before
swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in
pieces.
Had God not protected us against
our own “exuberant enthusiasm”, we would have been torn to pieces too. Just imagine what would have happened if
people believed that we were very close to the end of this age and the return
of Jesus Christ. Well, since the turn of
the first Millennium, there have been churches and cults that have preached and
prepared for that eventuality, selling their possessions and retreating on
mountains to wait for their salvation.
This phenomenon has multiplied in the last couple of centuries, and
especially in the last few decades and years, and not only in Christianity but
in other religions as well. Who does not
remember the apocalyptic outcome of David Koresh and his followers, which
included many children, who perished in an inferno behind an extraordinary
arsenal of weaponry and fortifications?
What is even more shocking is that his few survivors, to this day
believe that he was a man of God, a “Wicked Messiah”, who had to experience
everything in order to know what its like to be on the other side of God’s law,
so that he may be a right judge in the end time. Among the things he had to experience was to
sleep with his followers wives’ and daughters, to which many meekly paid
obeisance. Many, but not all, for some,
no doubt those who did their home work and saw the Devil in the works, left
that “paradise”, searching for the true Gospel elsewhere, thus becoming pariahs
to other members of their families.
Often people pay a heavy price for the “treasure” and the “pearl” of the

Coming back to the statistics of our web site, we did not pay much
attention until recently when it dawned on us that they could tell us the
topics of most interest to our readers.
We have always welcomed genuine questions and inquiries, to which we
have always answered either directly or through articles in our magazines. We must accentuate “genuine”, because more
often than not, people come to us not to inquire but to confront us for
preaching contrary to their beliefs and doctrines. It amazes us that although for two decades we
have stressed the fact that our interest has not been to create a congregation
of followers, though we would have welcomed the support of such, but to preach
the true Gospel of Jesus Christ – the Gospel of salvation – and expose the
unbelievable amount of deception, falsehood and duplicity that has enveloped
this world since the time of the Apostles.
Preaching truth in a world weaned on falsehood is a dangerous
occupation. It was dangerous at the time
of the Apostles, and it is equally dangerous these days. The fate of its preachers is the same, often
at the hands of those who think they do God a favor, just as Jesus Christ
foretold.
Joh 16:2
They will put you out of the synagogues[churches]; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will
think that he offers God service.
Joh 16:3 And
these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me [people can know the Father and Jesus Christ
only through the Scriptures] .
Joh 16:4 But
these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I
told you of them. "And these things I did not say to you at the beginning,
because I was with you.
It is not difficult to discover how much falsehood is being preached in
religious congregations these days. A
plethora of publications and countless radio, television and internet programs,
tell you that we live in the end time, a fact we totally agree with. It so happens that there is a prophecy in
the Bible, and only one, which tells us exactly the number of people that are
true followers of God at this particular time in history. Take careful look at it, for it says many
things that should be of concern to every Christian and genuine seeker of
truth.
Extraordinary, isn’t it? There are only two genuine witnesses of God
in the end time when the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord
and of His Christ. And what does the world do with them, or to them? It begs them to tell them more abut the truth
of God, and the true path of salvation?
No, it kills them, then send gifts to one another, and rejoice over
their death. That is what the Bible
says, and that is how it shall be, because the Bible does not lie.
Joh
Both the Old and the New Testaments confirm the
fact that the Bible is the inalienable Word of God. So if the Bible says that in the end time the
whole world will hate God’s true witnesses and only preachers of the Gospel of
salvation, you better believe that it is true.
Next time, when your preacher speaks on this topic, ask him, or her as
it is more and more the case these days, who are those two prophets. Most likely they will not give you a straight
answer, but imply that he and his wife or another minister in the church, are
the ones. If you believe them, and are
willing to give your life for them, it will most likely blow up in your face as
it did in mine when I believed, and was willing to give my life for the two
leaders of the Worldwide Church of God who claimed to be those witnesses.
Nearly four decades ago, there was no one I could
turn to, or another source that I could search or inquire into in order to find
out the truth. I got the results only by
intense and prolonged prayer, Bible and other studies, by which time they took
me to the cleaners, so to speak. God
help him who dares to further inquire into the genuineness of his
preacher.
Had it not been for God’s help, who saw that I was
sincere in my search for truth, they would have brought me to the grave without
a skerrick of remorse or repentance.
Ever since that time, they have never stoped throwing spanners in our
work. Consider this: as soon as the internet became widely available and an
ideal path for taking the Gospel to the world, they monopolised the domain
names: thechristianherald.org, thechristianherald.com, and
thechristianherald.net, the three obvious names for such a work. For a decade now they have paid the fees even
though they have never published anything under these names, only so that we
would not be able to do that either. And they call themselves ministers of
Jesus Christ. Fortunately, they ignored
www.thechristianherald.info ,
no doubt because in those days that was all but unheard of. Nowadays that
domain name is almost as popular as the other three, but in the early days we
struggled hard to make ourselves known.
Time has confirmed the nature of each one’s
work. We stand proud with what we have
achieved. We know of no other site or source
that provides a more detailed and accurate explanation of the Scriptures, of
the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and of biblical prophecies, than what one finds on
our web site. And all for free.
Blessed are
those who are called to
the marriage supper
of Jesus Christ
Those
who are weak in the Scriptures find it hard to believe that God is currently
preparing a great supper for the marriage wedding of His Son, Jesus Christ.
The
questiopn is, who is He marrying? We
will find that out shortly, but first let us establish whom He is inviting to
His marriage super. The obvious answer
would be that first of all He invites the very people who are ministers in His
churches. Astonishingly, notice what
happens when He does that.

Only a blind man could not see that this
parable is about the priests and preachers of God’s congregations. Now why
would they refuse to go to the great supper of Jesus Christ? Because they know that they have not served
God and not preached the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. Another parable of Jesus Christ reveals more
about their attitude.
Luk 20:9 Then He began to tell
the people this parable: "A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to
vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time.

Luk 20:19 And the chief priests

Yes, but this parable was
about the scribes and Pharisees of the Old Testament, not about the priests and
preachers of Jesus Christ, someone might say.
Wrong! Jesus Christ made no
distinction in His parables between the Old and the New Testaments. God did not have one standard for the Old
Testament and another in the New. God
does not change.
Jesus’ parables are
universally true for all times and all peoples.
He is the Saviour of the whole world, and that is why He sent His
followers to make disciples of all the nations.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and
spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and
on earth.
Mat 28:19 Go therefore and make
disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son
Mat 28:20 and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I
have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the
age." Amen.
This brings us back to
the question of who is Jesus Christ marrying during His great supper? His wife obviously! But who is His wife? Herein lays one of the great mysteries of the
Bible. Apostle Paul said this:
A great mystery
concerning Christ and the church! What
mystery? That the church is His
bride!
The extraordinary mystery
of the Bible is that God is reproducing Himself. Jesus Christ was His first
born, but then, through Him, He creates a multitude of other sons.
The term “firstborn”
implies that other people are to follow.
And who might this
“church of the firstborn” be? None other than the new set of kings and
priests that Jesus Christ is preparing for the
Does the world know who these kings and priest are – the church of the
firstborn, who form the bride of Christ?
No!
Here is a final proof of
the heavenly supper marriage. It is a
passage that tells us clearly who will be part of that marriage and who will
not.
If God called you to the marriage supper of His Son, would you hear it
and respond to it, or would you rely on your preacher to inform you about
it? Remember, he is not going to that
supper.

without incident. Who would dare oppose

Now if a righteous man like Daniel shall rest and arise to receive
his inheritance at the end of the days, and not immediately after death, as
traditional churches preach, you can be sure that no one else goes anywhere
after death. The New Testament also
confirms this fact.

Like Daniel,
David was one of the great personalities of the Bible. Yet, as you can see, he is still buried and
asleep, and shall remain so until the end of days when he too will be
resurrected to receive his inheritance.
Where then did traditional churches get the notion that people are alive
after death and able to perform miracles?
Not from the Bible, that is for sure.
The notion of life after death, common in ancient
Taken to its face value, this passage appears to describe the
reawakening of Samuel from the dead and his prediction about the end of King
Saul. The fact that this prophecy was
fulfilled immediately afterwards gives added credence to the notion that the
dead can speak and predict the future.
What do we make of the following statements then?
Not once, but three times God thundered against
people who become mediums for familiar spirits.
In the Bible, the terms “mediums and familiar
spirits” are used to denote witches – people who dabble into the occult. Those who do so defile themselves in the eyes
of God, therefore they must be cut off from among the chosen people.
Now if they no longer speak for God, and He is not
their God and inspiration anymore, who do they speak for? Obviously, for the Adversary, the Devil! How then do we explain the fact that they
speak the truth sometimes? This is how:
The angels of God, who inspire the prophets of God, speak the
truth. The angels of the Devil, who
inspire the false prophets, speak falsehood, or mix truth and falsehood. They
are all sons of God, they have all been created by God for a specific purpose,
and all come before Him at certain times to fulfill the job assigned them. At times, even Satan’s demons are commanded
to speak the truth, as was the case with the medium that spoke to Saul.
The question is why did God allow that scene to take place and then
record it for posterity? Precisely to show us what happens to those who disobey
Him. Saul had departed from God early in
his kingship, and as a result God had departed from him. Then, to make things worse, instead of
repenting of his sins and letting God deal with him as He wished, as did David
later on when he committed some horrible sins too, he compounded his error by
going after familiar spirits. Early in
his kingship, he had eliminated mediums and familiar spirits from the land, but
then he regretted it and sought one to commune with. God let that medium speak the truth as far as
he was concerned, but not as far as Samuel.
Samuel had nothing to do with that scene. Rather, it was a wicked spirit that
masqueraded as Samuel and spoke in his name. Does that mean that God sometimes
approves of humans who deal with the dead and dabble into the occult? Certainly not! God does not change!
God does not say one thing in one place, and another in another
place. In this lay the proof and
strength of the Bible. For although the
Bible has been written by dozens of people, who lived at different times and in
different places, there is only one seam that runs through the whole Book – one
message of obedience to God and one Gospel of salvation.
God’s attitude to death and to those who dabble in it is the same
throughout. He forbids His people to
have anything to do with it. The same is
true regarding sainthood. He has not
given human beings the prerogative to make saints, even in this life let alone
after death. No, not even to the Popes
of the Catholic Church! As we’ve seen,
no one goes to Heaven or to Hell after death.
People remains unconscious until the resurrection at the end time when
they are judged “according to their deeds”.
Those that have been obedient to God, and kept His Commandments, are
given eternal life in the Kingdom of God, while the disobedient are disposed of
in a great lake of fire. Here is the
Bible proof of that.
Saints are those who keep the Commandments of God and the faith of Jesus
Christ, not those who supposedly perform miracles after death.
Mar 12:24 Jesus answered and said to them, "Are
you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the
power of God?
Mar 12:25
For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in
marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
Mar 12:26
But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book
of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him,
saying, 'I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB' ?
Mar 12:27 He
is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore
greatly mistaken."
He is not the God of the dead, but of the
living. Can you see now why He forbids
His people to have anything with death, corpses and idols? This is confirmed by a number of statements
from the Bible.
Eze 6:5 And I will lay the corpses of the children of
Eze 43:7 And He said to me, "Son of man, this
is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I
will dwell in the midst of the children of
Eze 43:8
When they set their threshold by My threshold, and their doorpost by My
doorpost, with a wall between them and Me, they defiled My holy name by the
abominations which they committed; therefore I have consumed them in My anger.
Eze 43:9 Now
let them put their harlotry and the carcasses of their kings far away from Me,
and I will dwell in their midst forever.
Not only have they not put the carcasses of their kings away from God,
but have filled His places of worship with carcasses. No Catholic or Orthodox Church is complete
unless it contains carcasses of dead people, or pieces of them.
This brings to mind another famous prophecy which speaks of about
abominable things.
Mat 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a
witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Mat 24:15
"Therefore when you see the 'ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION,' spoken of
by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand), . . .
The context of this prophecy, and those of Daniel the prophet, to whom
Jesus Christ sent His disciples, makes clear that this “abomination of
desolation” is not a carcass or an idol, but a human being in high position who
has done much damage to God’s people down through the centuries. We have discussed this topic at length in a
number of our magazines, and brought undeniable proof that this “abomination of
desolation” is one who defies God with carcasses in places of worship, with
sainthood after death, with defiling the Sabbath, and with blaspheming His name
by apportioning God’s title of Holy Father.
Now have a look at the following passages from the book of Revelation
and see what you make of it.
The “male Child” is of course Jesus Christ; the woman is God’s
Congregation. The Devil is enraged not
only because he was fooled into believing that by crucifying Christ he would
inherit the earth, but because having been overcome by Jesus Christ he was cast
out of heaven to a word that was on its last legs.
The Devil was enraged with the woman and went to make war against her
offspring that keep the Commandments of God.
Now what kind of crime is that – keeping the Commandments of God? And you know what? To this day, the Devil and his servants are
still at war against those who keep the Commandments of God. Think of the fourth Commandment, the Sabbath,
that has been designated as the sign between God and His people, and you might
have an idea who is not keeping the Commandments of God and doing the work of
the Devil.
Here now is proof of the end of Satan and his servants, and of the fact
that the dead go nowhere until the resurrection.
This is a very different Gospel from the one preached by the churches of
today, especially the Catholic and
The world was led to believe that after the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD,

a lot of attention to our writings lately.
In fact, we had proof that it did so from the very beginning, but we

to see how serious this matter has become.
When Ignorance Is Turned Into Virtue,
Any Hope Of
Salvation Is Lost
There is no middle ground
when it comes to salvation. Either you are
among those who will be saved, or among those who will perish. The great tragedy of our time is that
although it has never been easier to find out the true path of salvation, more
people are being lost now than at any time in history. This however is not what you hear in the
churches of today. The greatest virtue,
according to their preachers, is in drawing more people into their fold.
It does not matter that
there are almost as many “gospels of salvation” in the world today as there are
churches. They never discuss with their
followers the importance of seeking the true Gospel, direct from the
Scriptures, from teachings of Jesus Christ and His Apostles. To do so would
expose them to the fallacies of their own preaching. Let us look at some examples from the
Scriptures which show how important it is for people to believe the right
Gospel.
No sooner did he
establish churches in various cities of
Two of them so
annoyed Paul that he gave them over to Satan, “that they may learn
not to blaspheme.” He does not tell us
the nature of their blasphemy, but we may deduct from the context of his
writings that anything contrary to the true Gospel is blasphemy. He gives us a hint that they were preaching
something that was contrary to the law.
Now if you go to any traditional church – Catholic, Orthodox,
Protestant, Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Evangelical, etc. – they would
tell you that the law has been done away with.
And whom do they quote for that?
None other than Apostle Paul himself! So let us look what exactly it is that he
taught his followers. First of all, you
noticed how he told Timothy that, “the law is good if one uses it
lawfully”. And yet, in his epistle to
the Colossians, he appears to say something that is completely different.
Key expressions here are “handwriting of
requirements” and “commandments and doctrines of men”. Apostle Paul said that these have been
nailed to the cross, yet the preachers of today say that it is the Commandments
of God that have been nailed to the cross.
This is the reason why none of them preach the importance of keeping the
Ten Commandments, and why their followers never open the Bible to find out the
truth for themselves. Now have a look at
a quote from an article in The Christian
Herald No 12, which we published after my visit to
“People who in times past defended Christianity (or what they thought was
‘Christianity’) against pagan influences, are now defending an adulterated
tradition against the Word of God? It is
a process that has been common to Christianity from the very beginning. It all began with groups of people who
worshiped God with genuine hearts and intentions. Then, with the passage of
time, they became lacklustre and encumbered by customs and traditions that no
longer fit the norm. Then some people
broke away and returned the “original faith”.
To them, the old guard had fallen away, and they had “proof” of it.
When that Day did not come as expected, they themselves became apostates
and instruments of the Devil in the eyes of the old guard, and they had “proof”
of it too.
This process had been repeated over and over again down through the
centuries, with the result that we have churches today of every conceivable
hue, belief and tradition, each holding to its own “truth”. The process began when the Roman Church broke
links with the Judaisers – people who held on to the beliefs and practices of
the early Churches of God. Then came the split with the Orthodox Church. And then the Reformation, and the Protestant
movement. More recently we had the
fundamentalist and charismatic splits.
The problem is that none of their “truths” stand up to the analysis of
the Scriptures. This is proven by the
fact that even if only one of them was right, there would be no need for
someone to come in the spirit of Elijah and restore “all things” just before
the return of Jesus Christ (Mat. 17:9-11).
None of these churches and denominations would be recognised by the
doctrines set by Jesus Christ and His Apostles. Their Christianity is simply
unrecognisable by the standards of the early Churches of God. For although there were differences between
the Christianities of Paul, Peter and James (see TCH No 9), when
it came to their basic doctrines, there were none. This is not what one can say about the
churches of today!
This brings us to the question of what the Bible League missionaries
preach in the churches they plant overseas.
We knew of their work long before they sent us their latest newsletter.
Since they kept requesting donations from us, we wanted to know how they spend
the money, and what gospel they preach in their churches. They did not reply to our correspondence,
nevertheless, just in case the letter got lost, we gave them a telephone call
too. A lady answered and we were able to
ask her a few questions. First we wanted
to know the difference between the Bible League and the Bible Society of
Australia, which also seeks donations for sending Bibles overseas.
“Well, we don’t sell Bibles”, she said.
“All we ask is that people undertake a course with us.”
“And what do you teach them in those courses. Do you tell them about tithing, for example?”
“Well, I suppose they do that.”
“What about speaking in tongues?”
“Well, we don’t do that here at the headquarters, but I am not too sure
what they do overseas.”
What she was very sure of, however, was that she was alone in the office and
had no more time to talk with us. So she
hang up. Now does that tell you
anything? Does it ring a bell with you
as it did with us? Do you think these
people are sincere when they say that they are concerned with distributing
Bibles? Or rather concerned with
distributing their brand of Christianity.
In their Bible League Report they admit that their main activity overseas
is ‘planting churches’. But that is not
what they say when they request funds from the public. Obviously they are using the ruse of
distributing Bibles as a Trojan Horse by which they could gather funds and
spread their brand of Christianity. And
what does that brand involve? To begin
with, it involves the doctrine of tithing – giving at least ten per cent of
one’s income to the church. The fact
that none of the Apostles of Jesus Christ placed such burdens on their
followers is of no consequence for them.
Can you see now why their converts are so eager to become ‘church
planters’ everywhere? Getting ten per
cent of the income of their converts could give them a very comfortable life
style without ever having to strain their brains and burn the
That was in 2002.
Now here is a quote from one of their Evangelical Bulletins of
2008.
“When the Communist system fell in
Now that would gladden the heart of any evangelical
preacher. The question is how on earth
did they get so many ministers ready to open no less than five new churches
every week? The greatest Seminary in the
world could not produce so many preachers in such a short a time.
It took me two decades of intense study of the
Bible before the Almighty thought I was ready to take the Gospel of Jesus
Christ to the world. Another two decades
during which time there was hardly a day in which I did not open the Bible, and
yet I am far from being able to claim that I know everything there is to know
about the Bible. I continue to discover
new things, new mysteries about this book that I think will astonish those who
are interested in God’s plan for mankind, as it did me, when I will reveal them
to the world shortly.
I spoke to a number of people in
Now do you remember what they did when they found
out that I wanted to set up, not a church, but a mere prayer group under the
banner of Alpha and Omega Christian Foundation in
An extraordinary phenomenon has been occurring in
Romanians know that instead of bringing them
freedom, their Revolution has in fact brought them a new set of masters
insensitive to their plight. It is a
well known fact members of Ceausescu’s dreaded Securitate betrayed the
Revolution and ensconced themselves in positions of leadership in virtually all
governing institutions and spheres of activity.
At first people thought that that may not be all that bad, for at least
they had governing experience. After
half a century of persistent decimation of their opposition, there was hardly
anyone capable of forming government that was not tainted by the communist
stigma. Unfortunately, it did not turn
out that way. Instead of embracing
democratic principles, their Securitate masters turned the country into their
personal fiefdom. To give you an
example: at a time when the average Romanian worker salary was barely $400.00,
Securitate officers retired on pensions of $6000.00. That was only two years ago, not after the
Revolution. We do not know what the
story is now, but what we do know is that while the wealth of
And consider this: the Securitate (now renamed the
SRI), is now three times larger than it was during the time of Ceausescu. Why would a democratic President need such a
gigantic secret service organisation?
Instead of curbing its excesses, President Basescu has coaxed back all
willing retired Securitate personnel and unleashed them on his political
adversaries.
Securitate men, like their counterparts in former
communist countries, have no national affinity. They have been trained to have
allegiance to a leader and to an international atheistic ideology that
transcends national boundaries. That is
why the plight of suffering local masses is of little concern to them.
National elections do not seem to have made any
difference. It does not matter who wins, the “boys with blue eyes” (or, shall
we say, the demons with blue eyes) make sure that their men are always on top.
Nothing moves in the country, no one can make any progress, unless he is
approved by nameless, shameless, background bureaucrats. And they wonder that
their youths abandon the country in droves. The problem has become so acute
that members of Parliament have suggested a policy of handing out $20,000.00 to
every Romanian that comes back. I doubt that they would have many takers. No
one likes to live in a suffocating jail, no mater how well gilded it may
be.
European leaders would solve the problem of the
roving “Romanian Gipsies” overnight if they could free
Throughout
And so it is, those who pull the strings in
Romania, in both the secular and religious life, do not mind when new religions
and sects set up tent in their country, opening up churches that impose
horrendous burdens on an already impoverished nation, as long as they can
control them, yet go to great lengths to prevent us from setting up a group of
believers without the obligations of tithing and mandatory offerings.
To understand how far these churches are from the
truth of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ let us consider just one Christian
Holy Day, the most important one in the Christian calendar. Do you know which one that is? Not Christmas,
not Easter, not Sunday, for none of these are sanctioned as Holy Days in the
Bible.
The most important Christian Holy Day is the
Passover. Have a look at this.
“Whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup
of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the
Lord.” Now not only are the churches of
In the forty years since I began the study of the
Bible, I have not found a single church, or person, that seeks after, and
upholds, the true standards and doctrines of Jesus Christ and His
Apostles. Should anyone wonder then that
God Almighty has given us the task of restoring the true Gospel and witnessing
it to the world?
Before we conclude, let us go back briefly to
Paul’s epistles to the Colossians and Galatians which we quoted earlier. Remember how he told them not to let anyone
judge them in food or in drink or in keeping the Sabbaths. That would appear to
mean they could eat and drink anything they want, whenever they want. Now contrast that with what he wrote in his
epistle to the Corinthians, whom he advised not to eat or drink the Lord’s
Supper in an unworthy manner.
Is there a contradiction here? Of course not! He was referring to different things in each
epistle. Herein lays the danger of not
knowing and not understanding the Scriptures properly. The churches of today
have made a virtue out of their ignorance of the Scriptures, picking up from
them what suits them, and discarding what it doesn’t. They like what Apostle
Paul wrote to the Colossians and Galatians, but completely ignore what he wrote
to the Corinthians. Why do they do that?
Because that allows them to hold on to their “commandments of men” and
to their pagan holy days, beliefs and practices! And what does God say about that?
Widespread Religious Deception Proves
That We Are Living In the Last Days
"Now learn this
parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts
forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things,
know that [the end] is near—at the doors!
Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till
all these things take place. Heaven and
earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. (Mat 24:32-35)
What things was Jesus Christ referring to which indicate that the end is
near? It is important to know what to
look for, because those who are taken by surprise by “these things” will loose
their salvation.
There are many things Jesus Christ listed as indicating that the end is
near, among which are wars and rumours of wars, famines, pestilences,
earthquakes, lawlessness, lack of faith, etc.
Now these sorts of things have ravaged this planet to various degrees
ever since that time. Herein lays the
problem: people have gotten used to these things to the point that they are no
longer regarded as signs from God but as “natural disasters”. The fact that humanity is now facing such
“natural disasters” that threaten the very existence of life on this planet is
of little consequence to religious leaders, the very people who ought to know
better, who still deny that these are signs from God that are associated with
the end of this age.
When God placed human beings on this planet, it was not meant to be this
way. The natural state of things should be general well-being, peace, abundance
and prosperity, not wars, draughts, famines, floods, epidemics and pestilences –
things that have made life on this planet little short of hell. This is the
consequence of human beings departing from God and deciding to go their own
way, to do their own things, to be “free moral agents” as they like put it.
Well, pretty soon they won’t be able to do their own things anymore, because
humanity has reached the end of the line.
Either it curbs its excesses, sins, lawlessness, and lack of faith, or
it will perish. Not in an indeterminate future, but now in the next few short
years or even months.
God saw that with the passage of time, human beings would bring disaster
upon themselves, to the point of threatening their own existence. So He gave us
His prophecies to know about these things and avoid them.
Here is one of the most detailed prophecies about the end time, from
none other than Jesus Christ Himself.
Mat 24:1 Then Jesus
went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him
the buildings of the temple.
Mat
24:2 And Jesus said to them, "Do
you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone
shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down."
Mat
24:3 Now as He sat on the
Mat
24:4 And Jesus answered and said to
them: "Take heed that no one deceives you.
Mat
24:5 For many will come in My name,
saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.
Mat
24:6 And you will hear of wars and
rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must
come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Mat
24:7 For nation will rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and
earthquakes in various places.
Mat
24:8 All these are the beginning
of sorrows.
Mat
24:9 "Then they will deliver you up
to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's
sake.
Mat
24:10 And then many will be offended,
will betray one another, and will hate one another.
Mat
24:11 Then many false prophets will rise
up and deceive many.
Mat
24:12 And because lawlessness will
abound, the love of many will grow cold.
Mat
24:13 But he who endures to the end
shall be saved.
Mat
24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom
will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the
end will come.
Mat
24:15 "Therefore when you see the
'ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION,' spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the
holy place" (whoever reads, let him
understand),
Mat
24:16 "then let those who are in
Mat
24:17 Let him who is on the housetop not
go down to take anything out of his house.
Mat
24:18 And let him who is in the field
not go back to get his clothes.
Mat
24:19 But woe to those who are pregnant
and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
Mat
24:20 And pray that your flight may not
be in winter or on the Sabbath.
Mat
24:21 For then there will be great
tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this
time, no, nor ever shall be.
Mat
24:22 And unless those days were
shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be
shortened.
Mat
24:23 "Then if anyone says to you,
'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There!' do not believe it.
Mat
24:24 For false christs and false
prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible,
even the elect.
Mat
24:25 See, I have told you beforehand.
Mat
24:26 "Therefore if they say to
you, 'Look, He is in the desert!' do not go out; or 'Look, He is
in the inner rooms!' do not believe it.
Mat
24:27 For as the lightning comes from
the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Mat
24:28 For wherever the carcass is, there
the eagles will be gathered together.
Mat
24:29 "Immediately after the
tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give
its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will
be shaken.
Mat
24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man
will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and
they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and
great glory.
Mat
24:31 And He will send His angels with a
great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four
winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Mat
24:32 "Now learn this parable from
the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves,
you know that summer is near.
Mat
24:33 So you also, when you see all
these things, know that it is near—at the doors!
Mat
24:34 Assuredly, I say to you, this
generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
Mat
24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away,
but My words will by no means pass away.
Mat
24:36 "But of that day and hour no
one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.
Mat
24:37 But as the days of Noah were,
so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Mat
24:38 For as in the days before the
flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until
the day that Noah entered the ark,
Mat
24:39 and did not know until the flood
came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Mat
24:40 Then two men will be in the
field: one will be taken and the other left.
Mat
24:41 Two women will be grinding
at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.
Mat
24:42 Watch therefore, for you do not
know what hour your Lord is coming.
Mat
24:43 But know this, that if the master
of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched
and not allowed his house to be broken into.
Mat
24:44 Therefore you also be ready, for
the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
Mat
24:45 "Who then is a faithful and
wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food
in due season?
Mat
24:46 Blessed is that servant
whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.
Mat
24:47 Assuredly, I say to you that he
will make him ruler over all his goods.
Mat
24:48 But if that evil servant says in
his heart, 'My master is delaying his coming,'
Mat
24:49 and begins to beat his
fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards,
Mat
24:50 the master of that servant will
come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is
not aware of,
Mat
24:51 and will cut him in two and
appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
The very first words to His disciples, when they
asked Him about His coming and the end of this age, were: "Take heed that no one deceives
you. For many will come in My name,
saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.” Then, after listing the signs and
tribulations that the world would undergo before His return, He once again
spoke about religious deception: “For
false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to
deceive, if possible, even the elect.
See, I have told you beforehand.”
Now many people, scientists and national leaders, have come to realise
that climate change and global warming represent existential threats to
humanity, yet from God’s point of view religious deception is a far more
serious problem. Why? Because when it comes to “natural disasters”,
there is a very simple remedy – return to God in heartfelt repentance and
worship, and He will turn things around in no time at all, but in the case of
religious deception, even God cannot do anything about it. As Apostle Paul aid:
Now who are those who were once enlightened, have tasted the heavenly
gift, become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and then fallen away? Obviously, religious leaders, the very ones
that are denying that there is any climate change and global warming, who are
now engaging in a coordinated campaign against us for speaking about these
things and placing them in a prophetic context.
Jesus Christ had a conflict with the religious leaders of His day
too. When they saw that He was making
headway with the people, the only way by which they could counteract Him was to
accuse Him of doping the work of “Beelzebub.”
Mat
12:22 Then one was brought to Him who
was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and
mute man both spoke and saw.

Mat
12:32 Anyone who speaks a word against
the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit,
it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.
Associating the work of the Holy Spirit with the Devil represents a
blasphemy that could never be forgiven, “either in this age or in the age to
come”. And what was true at the time of
Jesus Christ, is true today, and shall always true, because God does not
change.
Denying God’s existence and creation are blasphemies that could never be
forgiven either, yet this philosophy permeates every corner of our
“enlightened” world.
There are many churches in the world today who try to please both God
and Beelzebub by maintaining that God used evolution as a means of
creation. They do this because they do
not believe that God could possibly have created the world in six days, a
belief that stands ill with both Jesus Christ and His Apostles who
unhesitatingly believed the Genesis account of creation.
What is even more surprising is that it is fundamentalist churches that
have propagated the notion of theistic evolution, the ones that are now joining
mainstream churches in a coordinated attack against us and our work.
Fundamentalist churches have also joined mainstream churches in trying
to be nice to God by absolving Him from any evil that has ever taken place in
the world. This
is not to say that God loves everything that happens in the world, or has ever
happened, yet He allowed it to happen in order to teach human beings a lesson
of their own making.
Amo 3:6 If a
trumpet is blown in a city, will not the people be afraid? If there is calamity
in a city, will not the LORD have done it?
Deu 4:39 Therefore
know this day, and consider it in your heart, that the LORD Himself is
God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.
Through
much of the Bible, God expressed strong condemnation for his religious servants
– priests and prophets who prophesied lies in His name and brought catastrophe
upon His people.
I am against the prophets who steal My words every
one from his neighbour, says the Lord.
We have had the extraordinary situation in which certain preachers have
come to us, trying to impress us with our own revelations. They did not think
that we remember the things we have revealed for the first time. When we gently
drew this to their attention, they angrily turned against us, vowing to never
have anything to do with us anymore.
There are many people who have made use of our
writings. We do not mind it. We do not
even ask recognition (except in cases of wholesale reproductions), as long as
they do not come back to us with our own revelations pretending that they are
theirs.
At no time in the history of the world have there
been as many false priests, false prophets and false teachers as there are
now. Jesus Christ said that they would
try to deceive even the elect of God, if that were possible, but clearly such a
thing is not possible.
“For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and
wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”
Can you see now why it is so important that people are aware of religious
deception? Those who are victims of it
are not part of the elect of God. The
problem is that all church going Christians think they are part of God’s elect,
yet they have no idea what religious deception is all about.
Jesus Christ said, “many will come in My name,
saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many.” Now how could someone who
says he is a servant of Jesus Christ deceive his followers? Simple!
By preaching a false gospel, by derailing them from the true path, by
blinding them to the signs of the times, and in our case, by obscuring the
prophecies which point out the fact that we live in the last days! Notice what Apostle Paul said about the end
times.
There was a family of Orthodox Christians that I
held in high regard for the work they did in the community. For years they
would come to me whenever they needed help them with documents in English,
translating, typing, and answering them, on their behalf, something I had done
for other people as well, freely of course.
I was happy to do so, especially since they also
showed interest in our magazines. For a
long time I wondered what they were doping with them since their English was
quite poor, even though they have been in the English speaking world longer
than I have. As we have done with
everyone who wanted our magazines, we gladly handed them out, and never asked
any questions. We always hoped that in
time they would understand their importance, then come to us and request to
become part of this great work. Alas
that never happened.
One day, they asked me to give them one of my usual
visits. As I live in a satellite town of
What surprised me was that I had already written
about this fact quite explicitly in the magazines that they had received from
me, yet they showed no knowledge of it at all. I did not breach that topic at
that time, assuring them that we had no problem eating vegetarian meals. I did
however asked them what they were doing with our magazines, to which they
replied proudly that they were sending them to another family who was living
more than a thousand kilometres away, who they said, was very appreciative of
them. They knew that we sent our
magazines freely to all and sunder, around the world, yet for more than a
decade, they took pride in sending our magazines themselves to their friends,
without ever reading them. Well, that
was fine with us; we had no reason to complain.
What followed that visit however was one of the most hurtful things I
had ever encountered in my life. No sooner had we returned home, that the lady
sent word that she never wanted to see us again. She told people in the
community that she scrubbed and scrubbed her dishes, and cleaned the house
thoroughly after us to erase any smell or dirt that that “Asian woman” may have
left behind. You see, my tenant and
friend, is from the
Now these people, who are quite old by now, will go
to their graves with that kind of racist mentality and consciousness,
thoroughly convinced that because they conformed to their Orthodox dogma they
have a place in heaven – their Orthodox priest has assured them of that. This is what Orthodox Church does to people.
This is the kind of “Christians” it presents before Jesus Christ.
It so happens that that Orthodox priest is in
Australia because this same family, begged me to write to my Member of
Parliament an exemplary reference about him, which I did even though I did not
know him. I hope God Almighty will
forgive me for that, but now undoubtedly He lets me receive the fruit of my own
doing.
I have since heard that the man is a shameless
adulterer, no less than the priest he replaced.
Can you see now why Jesus Christ and His Apostles placed so much
importance on the danger that comes from religious deception? It is a matter of
life and death, affecting people’s minds and attitudes in this world, and their
salvation in the next.
Mat
23:1 Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes
and to His disciples,
Mat
23:2 saying: "The scribes and the
Pharisees [and the New Testament priests and ministers] sit in Moses' seat.
Mat
23:3 Therefore whatever they tell you to
observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works;
for they say, and do not do.
Mat
23:4 For they bind heavy burdens, hard
to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves
will not move them with one of their fingers.
Mat
23:5 But all their works they do to be
seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of
their garments.

feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,

father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.

Christian priests and ministers think that these Scriptures apply only
to the scribes and Pharisees of the Old Testament, even though they describe
perfectly well what is happening in their own churches. They speak in the name of the Lord, yet they
grievously deceive their followers.
More
than any other sign, religious deception is associated with the “latter times”.
But do people know about it? If you ask
anyone that question, most likely he would tell you that other churches deceive
their members, not his own. Catholics
say that about Protestants, Orthodox Christians about Catholics, Protestants
about both, and so on.
Admittedly, these days more and more people believe that all churches
and religions lead to the same place – heaven.
Hell has just about disappeared from people’s consciousness; political
correctness demands that no person must be condemned to the fires of hell
forever, hence is the only option for all human beings is heaven.
But of course, Jesus Christ and His Apostles had a different thing in
mind when they warned their followers to beware of false christs, false
prophets and false teachers. They knew that those who become their victims will
loose their salvation and forfeit any chance of making it into the
By the time of the end, religious deception will be so widespread that
none of those who “dwell on the earth” will escape it. By then, Satan’s
ministers would have turned things around to such a degree that two witnesses
who remain faithful to God and preach the true Gospel, will be condemned as
false prophets. Here is their story.
[Here we have an euphemism.
The fire that comes out of their mouth is not real fire but the Word of God,
the true Gospel. God’s words can burn
worse than fire. [“For the word of God is living and powerful,
and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and
spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and
intents of the heart”. (Heb
4:12)]
In effect, God is telling His two witnesses
that if anyone speaks against them, or does them any harm, he must be
spiritually killed. For God that is the only death that matters. In their first
death, human beings merely fall a sleep until they are resurrected to the end
time judgment.
God’s witnesses, therefore,
have the power to condemn their enemies to eternal damnation].
[This verse describes exactly what is
happening in the world at present. This is why we have warned world leaders
that humanity has entered the time of God’s last end time witnesses. But of
course they did not believe us. No one
believes it, until they face catastrophe in the face, as the people of Noah’s
time faced the Flood and perished].
[This merely confirms the
fact that Devil’s servants will rise against those two prophets, and kill
them].
[How extraordinary that
“those who dwell on the earth” should hate the people of God so much that when
they are killed they rejoice and exchange gifts. They do not know that their
happiness is of short duration. The
question is how could two wretched people – clothed in sackcloths – torment
everyone who dwells on the earth?
Simple! By preaching the true Gospel of Jesus Christ! A world weaned on false gospels and
deception, regards that as the gospel of the Devil].
Clearly, the two witnesses will be raised to life
together with the one hundred and forty four thousand elect of God of
Now since the problem of religious deception is so
widely discussed in the Bible, why is this topic so little discussed in the
churches of today? Is it because by alerting people to this fact, they might
open the Bible to find out the truth for themselves, and discover the
unthinkable: that those who claim to bring them to Christ are in fact deceiving
them. Decades ago, this discovery let to
the appearance of The Christian Herald.
Unmistakable signs were clearly pointing to the fact that the world was heading
in the wrong direction, yet no one was raising his voice to warn people of this
danger.
We did not know then how long it will be before
human beings would bring catastrophe upon themselves; all we knew was that it
could not be long. All the signs were
there that the end of this age was fast approaching.
At the beginning of 2008, we sent out a special newsletter to world
leaders in which we pointed out the perilous condition of the world and the way
out of it. That undoubtedly is our most
important newsletter to date. For this
reason, we decided to reproduce it in its entirety this magazine for those who
may not have read it. So here it is.
LEADERS OF
THE WORLD,
YOU
ARE HEADING TOWARDS
CATASTROPHE!
RETURN TO YOUR CREATOR GOD,
OR YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE WILL PERISH!
The time of
reckoning is at hand. Turn around from
the path of self-destruction and bring your people back to God, or no one will
survive the catastrophe into which powerful dark forces are leading the world
into.
The planet is being scorched, climate change is
causing turmoil around the world, widespread famine is looming, oil supply is
running dry, and international relations are on a knife edge. These, and more, are in biblical prophecy, as
is the fact that unless people turn to God now, the world is heading towards
annihilation.”
This is the time Jesus
Christ spoke about when He said that unless God intervenes to cut those days
short, no flesh will be saved alive. (Mat. 24). He also gave us this prophecy,
which is being fulfilled before our very eyes.
Human beings cannot resolve
these problems on their own anymore, yet they would not repent of their sins
and turn to God who has power over these plagues, but continue to blaspheme by
denying Him and His act of creation.
God is never mentioned in the
forums that claim to deal with these problems; the result being that humanity is
getting ever closer to the edge of the abyss. You need to address your people
and let them know about their dire situation and the fact that only God
Almighty can save them now, or you and your people have no future.
The Devil, the author of
sin, hate and confusion, has been cast out of heaven, and is now ravaging the
planet.
Jesus
Christ knew that human beings would depart from God and engage in destructive
activities that would bring catastrophe upon themselves. He also knew of this prophecy, which is now
due.
The dreadful Day of the Lord is truly within sight. Human beings have the choice of continuing to
spite their Creator and wallow in sin and hatred, and perish in a tribulation
the likes of which this world has never seen, or turn to God in repentance,
love and worship, and survive the exceedingly difficult times ahead.
We
are quoting the Bible to you because this is the Word of God, and because we do
not know how better to impress upon you the seriousness of the situation. Fulfilled prophecies are the greatest proof
of God, the greatest and more menacing being in the making before our very
eyes.
The
world has entered the prophecy of
We
cannot tell in a newsletter like this all that God Almighty has revealed to us,
but we have expanded upon it in The
Christian Heralds. You need to read
our latest edition – No 17 – which we have just placed on the internet, in
order to understand the truly perilous condition of the world. You will find
that on this site: www.thechristianherald.info
We have done our duty before God, now it’s your turn. But beware of turning to the old religions
that have brought humanity to where it is. Only Christianity of Jesus Christ
and of His Apostles, and worship of the true God, will do this time. Details also in The Christian Heralds!
Those who think that this is an exercise in
aggrandizement are gravely mistaken. We are paying a heavy price for this
work. In the service of Jesus Christ! G.S.
Surprisingly, the
strongest reaction to this newsletter came not from the Catholic or
“This has nothing whatever to do with the hoax
of so-called man-made climate change. Do your homework and you will see historically
who has been pushing this hoax; you will also discover that it is ridiculed by
scientists and contrary to facts on the ground. . .
You are guessing or
presuming, which is impersonating a prophet and blasphemy because you are
claiming to speak in the Name of the Lord what He has NOT said. . .
Your duty to God is to
receive a clear revelation of the true oneness of the godhead, repent and be
baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,
recognize your day and its Message and become a written epistle of the present
Truth - what Jesus is doing now . . .”
We will spare you the
rest of their ramblings, but this should be enough to give you an idea of what
we have to contend with. They went on to
give us a lesson on the Bible. We assure you that their understanding of the
Scriptures is as good as their understanding of climate change. And who are
they? None other than people who call themselves “Bible Believers”!
Long ago, we learned that
it is futile to try to reason with these kinds of people. When, in spite of all
the evidence to the contrary, they still maintain that climate change is a
hoax, what can you say? And for good measure they underline that word too.
These people would never
admit to global warming even if they are being scorched to death by it. Why?
Because they know that global warming is an end time sign and they do
not want to see that coming in their life time, for if it does they know that
they are finished. The Scriptures make
it clear that in the end time, aside from the two witnesses,
all other religious leaders will preach false gospels.
The reason we keep on
sending God’s messages to these people too, as we do to other world leaders, is
because our heavenly Father wants us to continue doing so, per chance they may
come to their senses, turn around from the path of self-destruction and care
for their members as they care for themselves.
What world are these
people living in that they think climate change is a hoax? They say that this idea is ridiculed by
scientists. We do not know what
scientists they are referring to, but what we do know is that the following
scientific reports are not hoaxes.
“The Arctic icecap could be free of summer
ice by 2020, scientists say. So what will this mean for ice on
The Arctic icecap is melting much
faster than expected and is now about 30 years ahead of predictions made by a
UN climate panel, a US ice expert says. This means the ocean at the top of the
world could be free or nearly free of summer ice by 2020, three decades sooner
than the global panel's gloomiest forecast of 2050 from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC).
No ice on the Arctic
Ocean during the northern hemisphere summer would be a major spur to global
warming, says Dr Ted Scambos, a glaciologist at the US National Snow and Ice Data Center
in Colorado.
"Right now ... the
Scambos and co-authors of
the study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, used satellite data
and visual confirmation of Arctic ice to reach their conclusions. This gives a far different picture than that
obtained from computer models used by the scientists of the intergovernmental
panel.
"The IPCC report was
very careful, very thorough and cautious, so they erred on the side of what
would certainly occur as opposed to what might occur," Scambos says. The wide possibility of what might occur
include a much later melt up north, or a much earlier one, Scambos says.
"It appears we're on
pace about 30 years earlier than expected to reach a state where we don't have
sea ice or at least not very much in late summer in the

that the sharp warming trend in the
"There aren't many
periods in history that are this dramatic in terms of natural
variability," Scambos says.
He says he has no doubt
that this is caused in large part by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which
he says is the only thing capable of changing Earth on such a large scale over
so many latitudes.
Asked what could fix the
problem, the topic of a new report by the intergovernmental panel to be
released on Friday in
"Long-term and for
the next 50 years, I think even the new report will agree that we're in for
quite a bit of warming," Scambos says.
"We just barely now, I think, have enough time and enough
collective will to be able to get through this century in good shape, but it
means we have to start acting now and in a big way." (Deborah Zabarenko,

And this from the other
side of the world we have this.
US researchers at the University of Colorado at
"This is the first
study to indicate the total mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet is in
significant decline," says Dr Isabella Velicogna, of the university's Cooperative Institute for
Research in Environmental Sciences.
The team calculated that
the ice sheet lost 152 cubic kilometres a year from April 2002 to August 2005,
give or take 80 cubic kilometres. This
is equivalent to global seas rising 0.4 millimetres a year, with a margin of
error of 0.2 millimetres, the researchers say.
The bulk of the loss is
occurring in the West Antarctic ice sheet, according to Velicogna, whose team
used two satellites orbiting Earth in tandem to gather data. These satellites estimate Earth's global
gravity field. And variations in the gravity field over time were used to
determine changes in Earth's mass distribution, necessary for estimating
changes in mass of the Antarctic ice sheet.
"The changes we are
seeing are probably a good indicator of the changing climatic conditions
there," Velicogna says. The study
seems to contradict the 2001 assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which forecast that
the Antarctic ice shelf would actually gain mass in the 21st century due to
higher precipitation in a warming climate. The

The world is groaning under the weight of climate change: if it is not
searing drought, it is deadly floods.

Can you see now why God had to choose people that were not connected
with any official religion to deliver His end time messages to the world? They say that I am impersonating a prophet.
What prophet am I impersonating? Do I
need to impersonate anyone to show the world what God says in His living Word,
that humanity is unmistakably heading towards a catastrophic end?
We do not claim exclusivity in what we are doing. Anyone can serve God
and be His prophet. In order to be a prophet of God, all one has to do is keep
God’s Commandments, accept Jesus Christ as Saviour, pray and worship God in
truth and spirit, study the Scriptures, and listen to the innermost voice of
God. The more prophets the better! It is
the world’s loss that there aren’t any more true prophets around, for there is
plenty of false ones.
For a long time we have wondered how it will be possible that in the end
time leaders of churches and religions, which are nominally opposed to each
other, come together in a common position against God’s witnesses. Well, we don’t wonder about it anymore. They do not come together to oppose them on
the basis of their scriptural teachings – they are too weak on the Scriptures
for that. Instead, they are making fools of themselves by denying the obvious –
“natural” developments that are causing ravages around the world.
Not being proficient in the Scriptures, they cannot see the connection
between world developments and biblical prophesies. We used to think that this was true only of
mainstream religions, but now we discover that fundamentalist evangelical
Christians are hardly any better at it. They merely confirm the fact that when
people turn their back on God, or on His living Word – the Bible – He takes
their wisdom away.
Only
those who believe that the Bible is the inalienable Word of God are being
saved. As Jesus Christ said: “Sanctify
them by Your truth. Your word is truth.” People
are sanctified by the Word of God. We
know of no other book that sanctifies people and speaks for God the way the
Bible does. And we know of no one who has done more comparative studies on this
topic than we have done.
Never at any time in history has humanity been groping in more spiritual
darkness than it is now. And never at any
time in history has it been more obvious that world religions have done nothing
but imprison and bring misery upon their followers.
Nowhere in the world can one find more assuring words than the ones
spoken by the Man who overcame the world and became its worthy Saviour.
