Three.... supreme documents available to humanity are The Holy Bible and the United States, Constitution and the Bill of Rights!
All three have been fully mangled by the Progressive Left
The Democratic Party, has moved so far to left of center ( 12.00 on the clock face) so far that they are regressing us back into the Stone Age, of 6:00 o'clock which is full out Communism.
The right, if they go all the way around to 6 they are full on unto Fascism.
The DEMON-RATS , have been busy with their POLITICAL ASSASSINATIONS, against Trump, ever since his election! From crowd size, to collusion with Russia, and then tried to kill Kavanaugh, all with lies and phony news stories, about Ukraine collusion, by the left mass media, the Demon Rat's propaganda arm.
They now have put as their "Party Head" EX-Vice President Joe Biden, whose son Hunter, is up to his eye-balls in financial payola, with both Ukraine and Red China to the tune of billions of Dollars, as is Joe's brother and appears the Bibden clan is all on take, if only half of the news stories are correct.
Even worse, the Democrats, loyal and blind sheep, are voting for Joej to head their party for Presidential nomany. Even though, every day, his gaff-machine, feeds the press with many a huge laugh, even to the point where he announced he's running for the Senate!,Plus he is confused as to where he is and any give point on the trail. I guess they feel he so out of it, that he'll be able to fool the world's leaders, by "taking them each out behind the baarn"!
Then there's the SQUAD, headed up by A.O.C. an Ivy League grad that says, "Don't worry about money, we can print all we need"! YUP, that's the why Greece, Argentina. and Zimbabwe are running inflation rates above 1000 percentile rates. That only means what used to cost $1.00 now takes $1000.00 bucks! Germany in the 1930's restamped their postage stamps up 100,000,000.00 Marks for ONE STAMP! I hope she did not get an Economics Degree! She was working as a bartender before her election! Not a slur on that profession but as a Grad from an University????
Her most famed utterance? No more Fossil Fuels, no cars,trucks, trains or planes, must mean that she wants us all to go back to the horse and buggy days of transportation.? I wonder if she ever thought this through, meaning New York City was home to more that 1 million horses, each"DONATING" MORE THAN POUND OF HORSE DUNG! Can she even begin to think what smells like on a hot summer afternoon? Not to mention all the gallons of yellow liquid? All the flies?
Can YOU , dear reader, picture this? A Semi-Tractor-trailer, with all its flat surfaces covered in Solar-Panels to power an air compressor for air brakes and to generate electric power for lights, plus a huge hole on the windshield for reins to control a 40 teem Clydesdale horses, to pull the truck? In this picture the cost of one banana would be over $10..00.
Does all this sound like something you'd vote for? Yes I know all teachers from High School up are teaching what they are told to teach, jbut history is filled with facts, that ever the most aradent commy PHD can/'t explain away!
INCOME DISTRIBUTION: Is nothing more than the old Lenin song: "FROM THOSE THAT HAVE, TO THOSE THAT NEED"!
TO ALL WHO DISAGREE WITH THIS THOUGHT LINE, I ASK BUT ONE QUESTION:
"HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER RECEIVED A HIGH PAYING JOB WITH GREAT BENEFITS FROM A POOR PERSON AS YOURSELF?
JESUS SPEAKING OF THE POOR: Matthew 26:11 " For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always."
Matthew 24:7 " For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."
We have already received a view viruses in the past, this Corona Virus, is only the latest WAKE-UP CALL, That our CREATOR-Father-God has allowed Satan to put upon us! Or think YOU that this is not a PESTILENCE? THOSE WHO STUDY THEIR BIBLES, KNOW THAT WE ARE IN THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS CHAPTER 6 AND THE STARS HAVE ALREADY FALLEN OVER 100+ YEARS AGO, SO OPW FAR INTO THE FUTURE,....;;.. IS THE SECOND ADVENT?
ARE U READY TO MEET JESUS? ALL WHO ARE NOT, SHALL THEN PERISH!

EVOLUTION--THE SEEN AND THE UNSEEN. X CLIFORD GOLDSTEIN; Signs of the Times Aug. 2019.
My many thanks to both the Author and the Publishers, and our Creator God. (John B)
Did Y O U know that most creationists believe in evolution, including scientists who believe that God created this earth and its living things a few thousand years ago?
NOTE (JB) : Despite that millions of dollars and as many more hours, spent trying to create life , by mankind?
One of the most famous (? or infamous) defenders of evolution, Richard Dawkins, made the following claim: "Evolution is a fact in the same sense as it is a fact that Paris is in the Northern Hemisphere."
Though not as well known as Richard Dawkins but just as staunch an evolutionist, Daniel Dennet [ Note: this name in the Hebrew mans God is my judge!] who claims that "the fundamental core of contemporary Darwinism is beyond dispute among scientists. ...The hope that it will be 'refuted' by some shattering breakthrough is about as reasonable as the hope that we will return to a geocentric vision and discard Copernicus". In other words, Dennett was saying he thinks that there's as much a chance of evolution being refuted as there's a chance of humans going back to the ancient view that planet Earth is situated at the center of the universe.
Of course, no one challenges these two views, in contrast millions reject the evolution that Dawkins and Dennett so dogmatically defend. How can some people be so certain about evolution, while others, with the same certainty, deny it?
THE SEEN AND THE UNSEEN;
Part of the answer can, in broad terms, be boiled down to the differences between the seen and unseen. More specifically, and in the context of evolution itself, this disparity arises from the difference between MICROEVOLUTION AND MACROEVOLUTION .
What are these two concepts and how does the difference between them help explain much of the controversy surrounding the Theory of Evolution?
NOTE(JB) : Microevolution: is what we see in dogs, the breeding of a small Poodle and a Dachshund, is Microevolution. This created a new breed, but still the same genus, the same family..still dogs!
MACROEVOLUTION: IS IMPOSSIBLE for it holds that by selective breeding of the surviving species, a new species comes into the being. Sorry cows will not brith pigs, and fish becoming salamanders! As the Holy Bible says: "..Kind after his kind.." This takes men forcing the issue with Artificial Insemination, or using a stallion to mate with a receptive female donkey, that results in a mule, nearly always male and sterile, thus end of the line for this type to reproduce naturally!
DARWIN AND THE VARIATION OF SPECIES.
One of the most consequential sea voyages in modern history was that one by Charles Darwin on the HMS BEAGLE, which set sail from Plymouth, England, in December 1831 and returned to port in October 1836, just two months short of five years! During those years C. Darwin saw things, especially in the Galapagos Islands off the Pacific Coast of South America, that helped him formulate his ideas.
So what, exactly did Darwin see?
Darwin noted that certain species of wildlife varied from one island to another. Finches, tortoises, and mocking birds living on other islands.For example, the beaks of finches on one island were larger than the beaks on another island. Even on the same island, differences among the same species existed, depending upon where each lived. Some finches lived on the ground in coastal areas; some lived inland in trees and others in bushes. Some had access to and ate one food, some another.
NOTE(JB) : Many in Orient, use chop sticks to eat their foods, while we use forks and spoons, does that make us a different species, or are we both human? We have over 500 types of dog breeds, but are they not all STILL dogs? This is the MICRO EVOLUTION. size, color, shape, ability, does not change into anything other than a dog! MACRO IS NOT POSSIBLE! This is a change from one species to another, and why cows do not give birth to pigs! Remember for live to be, it MUST have all the organs, all the materials a body needs to just exist, evolution of a life form with NO digestive tract, is soon dead, and evolution stops! This not even Hawkins can refute nor change!
Thus what's the ONLY purpose of the Theory of Evolution men the first place?
Look at what it has accomplished.... most people believe life just kinda-sorta came to be, by random chance, and that there's NO GOD! Just the way Satan planned it all along!
>>>>>> AsAS the direct results of these different environments, the species developed different traits, that allowed each to better adapt to their particular circumstances. The differences were enough for one Governor to say "Just by looking at a tortoise, he could tell which island it came from.
While the differences were small, they got Darwin to speculate about what would happen if all these small changes kept happening over the long ages. With various ideas germinating in his head, Darwin returned to England, where he continued his studies.
Back i n England, Darwin also noted that selective breeding could cause variations with a species. Though they had no knowledge of genetics, humans knew for millennia that they could bring about minor changes in a population of animals, dogs, horses, cows , oxen pigeons, and so forth, just selective breeding. Within each species, differing only by color, size and traits.As the hairless dogs and cats of today! All this helped shape Darwin's thinking.
In 1859, Darwin published his most (in)famous, and consequential book, The "On The Origin Of Species,", in which he theorized that the constant accumulation of small changes within a species would eventually lead to the creation of whole new species of animals and plants. He claimed that all this process was due to what he called "Natural Selection", a process inherent in nature itself, in which organisms that are better adapted to their environment tend to ,do better and thus survive, with more offspring, while those that don't adapt die off.
NOTE(JB) The most powerful microscopes then available, it was not possible to view, a single cell, unlike today's that have 50,000 times magnification powers.
MICROEVOLUTION:
There's no question that these changes caused by natural selection do indeed, occur. Species, both plants and animals, and humans, can and do change either by the natural environment or through selective breeding, and it can be done quickly enough that we can see the differences between the populations of the same same species, even while the earlier versions of the same species are still alive!
A cockapoo, is a cross-breed between a poodle and a cooker spaniel, while the parents are yet living! However, these changes are always small- a change in color, size, leg length ect., or a change in a bacterium that enables it to be more resistant to antibiotics that its ancestors were.. These changes are called MICROEVOLUTION. Yes the changes are real, but the species remains the same. Mixing Poodles with Cocker Spaniels, do not result in a liter of kittens! Dogs remain dogs and Tomato plants remain tomatoes! Size and colors do not determine a species change.
All scientists agree on the above points, as do all Creationists believers. So where's the argument?
MACROEVOLUTION:
The controversy arises with Darwin's thinking about the EXTRAPOLATION [a term he never used] which is the idea that through the process of Natural Selection, a particular plant or animal, given enough time, and enough of these small Microevolutionary changes, can over time produce an entirely different species, with new and very different body parts!Meaning that with enough of these micro changes all add aup to Macro changes and viola a brand new species! Because all these changes added up that the variation has transcended the boundaries of GENERA [which is one step up from species in the scientific classification of living things] * "Scientists classify living things from species to genera, a family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, and domain."
In other words, Macroevolution occurs, the theory goes, when enough of these incremental Microevolutionary variations cause one family of animals or plants to change into a completely different family.Some examples SUPPOSEDLY taken place over a million years ago of time are the decent of fish from invertebrate animals of a completely different species, or when the whale descended from one species of a land mammal that had been from another species entirely.
NOTE(JB) All land mammals have their breathing apparatus, connected in mouth and nose. But all whales, and dolphins, breathe via a "BLOW-HOLE, on the tops of their head at the neck! How is it, that land-animals legs just became fins, and the ends became a flexible and powerful tail? Especially in view of a great fact, that mutations are nearly always very detrimental to life? Just because their front flippers have bones that look similar to our fingers, does not mean humans walked on their hands, nor did whales used to have legs and feet!
Fort to be factual, then when do cows give birth to pigs? Can Elephants give birth to buffaloes?
CONTEMPORARY VIEWS:
I can well remember, that moment I was told in the 4th grade, and the "Theory of Evolution" is no longer a theory but a proven scientific fact! This caused me to ask my teacher, "Did we find the Missing Link"? I was royally ignored!
Today, most researchers, and scientist, adhere to dogma lies, it's their Religion, because if they don't, they lose their jobs, and can no longer find funds to pay for their research! They believe and accept the idea that all creatures, including plants, were once different species, gerera, and families. One theory states that life on earth originated almost four billion years ago through the natural processes of physics and chemistry impacting air, water, and rocks: and the great variety of life on the earth now, from magic mushrooms to bald eagles to human beings, resulted from these processes of macroevolution.
THE UNSEEN AND THE SEEN:
The argument that microevolution morphs into macroevolution is , however riddled with many problems, including the big one: that all observable examples of evolution involve MIRCO-evolution only, which allows for the minimal changes we can all observe. The problem is that these MICRO evolutionary changes have NEVER been shown to lead to MACRO- evolution: that is, one kind of animal or plant changing into another one of a totally different kind.>>>>>>
NOTE(JB) : Kind produces kind only! Planting carrot seeds will get you a crop of potatoes or corn right? For the same reason cows don't give birth to pigs, and fish don't grow legs to become salamanders! One celled amoebas, stay one celled, throughout all the time they have existed!
>>>>>> This leads to a crucial distinction between MIRCO and MACRO evolution: Micro ca n be seen all the time, in human efforts of selective breeding in both plants and animals, BUT MACROevolution, even ONE case of it... HAS NOT EVER BEEN OBSERVED!NOR Photographed, because it just can not happen, no matter how much science, or scientist, wants it to be so! Darwin included! Darwin looked at what nature did in the Galapagos Islands, and looked at what he saw in the selective breeding programs in their own livestock, a nd what he saw was MICROEVOLUTION. Then from what he did see, MICROEVOLUTION Charles Darwin extrapolated, and theorized about what HE DIDN"T SEE, namely MACROEVOLUTION by natural selection.
Jonathan Howard, a staunch evolutionist who is a professor of cell genetics at the Institute for Genetics at the University of Cologne in Germany, made the same point about macroevolution. He said, "Natural selection is the mechanism of evolutionary change. Unlike the process of geological change, it is not readily observable, but is inferred by argument from other kinds of observations".
REALLY? Not readily observable? It isn't observable at all! Rather as Howard himself stated, it's inferred from other kinds of observations, mostly from the small changes {JB and expected changes via selective breeding} that do occur in species namely microevolution. that just because your Honda's check-engine light comes on , that given enough time, the Civic will become a Boeing 747, ain"t happening!
NOTE (JB) : Just because I've said many times "I believe the Moon is is made of Green cheese , over and over, does not make it so!
Even today, i n work be scientists is labs, who intentionally try to bring about macroevolution, who try to change one species into another... ALL have failed. None for instance, has ever turned a fly into a butterfly, much less a fish into an amphibian. This doesn't mean it can't be done: it means only that no one has done it, despite all the efforts.
And just because no one has ever created a macroevolutionary change, or that no one has to date not ever done it, doesn't mean it will not ever happen either. It only means that the claims that it has happened are only pure speculation. The common assertion that fish turned into amphibians, and that amphibians turned into mammals and that mammals turned into Human being is a story about supposed events that no one has ever seen, in spite of all the firm assurances by some in the scientific community that these changes are as certain as, well the location of Paris in the northern Hemisphere!
NOTE(JB) : Question: "If man descended from ape, why do we still have apes in trees"?
A: Because these apes, are too smart, and refused to be be mistaken for PhD's!

CRACKING THE TOMB ,LOREN SIEBOLD Signs of the Times July 2019
My many thanks for this work to both the author and the publisher. (John B).
MOST PEOPLE THINK OF DEATH AS A PLUNGE INTO OBLIVION.
tUT DEATH IS NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF. THERE IS A WAY TO BREAK OPEN THE TOMB!
When Henriette Juliane Caroline von Ruling died in 1782 at the relatively young age of 26, her husband Georg Earts von Ruling, was inconsolable. She has given birth to three son for him, all of whom had died at birth---and now Henriette herself was gone. Georg buried her in Gartenfriedhof in Hanover, Germany, beneath a massive rectangular stone, carved into a intricate, flowing drapery. On the tomb Georg, a poet and musician wrote, "Separation is the lot of humanity,but leaving early is life's greatest bitterness."
But it's the next line that Georg added to the base of the monument that's best remembered: "May this tomb bought for eternity never be opened."
NOTE(JB): It's easy to see Georg did not either know, or believe in the Bible's resurrections. (There's two, 1000 years apart)
It turns out that even the best human expectations fail--- even those intended for eternity. The tiny seed of the4 Birch tree fell on Henriette's tomb and washed by rain into a crevice between the massive stones. No one noticed the first tender, green shoot. Undetected, it shot upwards to the light. The roots expanded, a cell at a time. With the passing of years, the growing plant began to push apart the massive blocks of stone. It lifted the entire monument, and the iron fasteners that bound it to its foundation...snapped.
The tomb that was never to open, cracked. Today, the site s known as the Open Grave--- a destination for all who want to see how enforceable even to most stubborn of human intentions may be.
AN UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY?
Some say that death is the end, a plunge into oblivion. William Shakespeare places in the mouth of Hamlet a bitter soliloquy: "Death is the undiscovered country from whose born no traveler returns."
Note(JB) : It's obvious Mr. Shakespeare never read the Bible with understanding, for at the Second Coming, Jesus will gather His own, and the4y go to heaven, and to return 1,000 years later to this same earth!
Because no human can see what lies beyond, and because we don't know how to reanimate dead bodies and erased memories ourselves, some believe it's therefore impossible for us to be alive beyond death.
Yet everything in the human psyche opposes the finality of the grave. If we were made to die, why is this experience to alien to us? Why do we have such a clear sense of our ow3n existence, and why do we year for life to continue? Given the trails and troubles of life, asks Hamlet, shouldn't we be as happy to end life as to live it? Death "puzzles the will." he answers himself, "and makes us rather bear those ills we have than to fly to others the we know not of."
The reason we resit death,says the Bible, is that we were never meant to die. The Book opens the human story with the creation of a world in which death is not only unknown but inconceivable. One imagines that when God told Adam and Eve, "You must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will certainly die." [Genesis 2:17] Our first parents must have scratched their heads in puzzlement. What does it mean to die, they might have wondered, in a world where every bit of life--- every plant, bird, animal and insect is designed to be young and alive forever?
They found out when they rebelled against God, in their disobedience, that under their influence, of this sin, living things cease to live. Perhaps they first saw wilted flowers or yellowing leaves on a plant. The n they would see lifeless animals on the ground. Worse4, creatures killed one an other in a angry rage. The denouncement of this sad story came when one of their own sons killed his brother our of bitter jealousy. Adan and Evelearned what death was. We still, to this day, struggle with it!

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. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:"
Cont: death still thwarts us. A handful of especially hardy people live past the century mark, but as the Psalmist observes of those last years of life, "The best of them are but troubles and sorrow" [Ps.90:10]
From whence, then, comes the power to overcome death and live again? Only from God! Hanna, the godly mother of Samuel was one of the first to see it. "The Lord brings death and makes alive; He brings down to the grave and raised up" [ 1 Samuel 2:6] Job, also was confident that "my Redeemer lives" Even "after my skin has bee n destroyed, yet in my flesh will I see God." [Job 19:25-27]
But while they had hope in their hearts, the reality had yet to be seen. For that, we can thank Jesus Christ.. In the first chapter of Revelation describes Jesus as "The Living One: I was dead, and now look, I am alive ever and ever."[Revelation 1:18] Here is life after death told, not as a doctrine, not as a dry fact, but as a true recounting. Jesus Himself, the Bible says, was dead. His heart had stopped. His stomach wasn't digesting. His liver no longer filtered His blood. The electrochemical synapses in His brain had gone silent. He was, the Bible careful to say, completely lifeless.
Yet God made Him alive again--- and in a way that could have no doubts among observers. For after "He was raised on the 3rd day, as per scriptures " ... testifies Paul,......>
NOTE (JB) : As per Jewish custom, even part of a day was counted as a whole day, Good Friday He died on the Cross, SATURDAY-- the Sabbath He rested in the tomb, Sunday the FIRST DAY of the week just before dawn He arose alive! Thus even in death Christ kept the Sabbath, The SEVENTH DAY SABBATH! [Exodus 20:7-11 Deuteronomy 5; 12-14 John 14:15*] Sunday is NOT sacred , as it is only of men, since 321 AD. and Rome's Bishops.(POPE is Latin, for Father, call no man father for your Father is in heaven....[Matthew 23:9]
......> "He appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more that five hundred of the brothers and sisters. [1 Corinthians 15:3-5]
OPENED TOMBS.
But how can there be more to life than the life we know now?What can possibly conquer death? The tiny seed that fell into Henriette's tomb may provide a metaphor.
Jesus compares death to a seed that" falls to the ground and dies."
John 12:24 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."
Note (JB) : I f Y O U planted one corn seed, and watered as you should, how man corn cobs will your reap? We Humans die, yes, but IF we are "SOWN" in Christ, He'll resurrect us, that are "SLEEPING" in Him!
Ecclesiastes 12:6-7 "Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.[ALL these are but metaphors for death] Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." [Please note our last breath returns to HE who created it, but that's all, our bodies return to this earth, as dust. Genesis 3:19.]
Therefore, just as the seed on the soil , is but a prelude to life, in the face of death! As both The Father-God and Jesus have live within them, that they each can give life to others, they have chosen.
2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." So, will not right now surrender you heart to the One who died for your sins and mine?
Just pray and ask for His help and guidance. You'll not ever be put on hold, or get a busy signal, nor hear, please listen as our menu, has changed.
This miracle happens through and by "The Living One" because He
Revelation 1:17-18 " And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death."
Because He went through death and resurrection we know He can do this for all the over comers. Those who have asked for, and received His divine help to overcome all sins.LOOK>>>
Daniel 12:2 "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."
Note(JB) : Please know that this speaks to two types of people, those who obey God and those who obey men. Revelation 20:1-6 shows the two resurrections are 1,000 years apart, this being the Millennium Age.. The first brings new life, ever youthful young adults, while the wicked will resurrect the same as they were when they died, with all the same ills, and pains. Please not only God's own will leave this earth, the unjust do not. Jeremiah 4. there was no man...
We "SLEEP"......Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 " For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun."
1 Corinthians 15:51-55 "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?"
NOTE(JB): QUESTION, "Who can Y O U believe, God, who can not lie, or man who surely does? This is why all the Bible verses are here! Take God's word not mine! Not all resurrections will end on a happy note, not for the unbelievers, the wicked, and those who reject Jesus as their Savior-God! There shall be a judgment, for all, including Satan and his fallen angels, every knee shall bow!
PREPARING FOR DEATH.
We, all heave heard and perhaps even used the term, "Have a good day," To which I reply, "We know not how much time we are given, and repenting from the grave is not possible, do it daily!"
Unlike Adam and Eve, who came fresh from God's creative hand, we today are acquainted with death, [JB my wife if 57 years passed Feb, last but I take comfort that we shall meet again, on the other side\, Lord willing.] C: Ecc., 9:5 above.
Unlike our First Parents, death is not a surprise to us,. Wise people prepare for it: they buy life-insurance a prepared will, or living trust,, to take care of loved ones left behind.
But, preparation for death should should be more than property and estates, or survivors. If the dead chose to live again, to awaken to everlasting life, and not to, "everlasting contempt."
I, and hope that you agree, the Holy Bible is a Book of hope! There's a great reason why so many of us love the promise of John 3:16 that "WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE."
Note(JB) Sorry there's no 'shortcuts, we must also 'John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Jesus said: Matthew 17:2 "And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you"
NOTE(JB) : Can Y O U understand the why? Because with this full faith/trust, your powers are not your own but the CREATOR GOD, that moves that mountain! After all HE spoke the whole universe into existence, from nothing! [Genesis 1]
But at the time of the end,, faith shall do something much greater. Faith will rip open the earth in search of the just dead. A Birch Tree seed grew and cracked open Henriette Juliane Caroline von Ruling's tomb. Jesus who holds the keys to hell and death, will open the crust of this earth to find every believer--- from the bottom of the sea, from collapsed mines deep underground, from the ashes of flames and from billions upon billions of entombed remains. God will reassemble the earthen elements of the earth, to give us back the life that death has robbed us of.
We, Y O U and me. and those we have loved and lost... shall be reunited, according to His will. and Henriette, too, will be united and come forth from her tomb, from death to life, to be reunited with all the just living!
NOTE(JB) : ALL who truly want to be there, will surrender their self-will unto Jesus, in loving obedience, and be in Paradise with Him forever.! R U willing? Pray for wisdom to know what to do!

MOST PEOPLE THINK OF DEATH AS A PLUNGE INTO OBLIVION.
tUT DEATH IS NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF. THERE IS A WAY TO BREAK OPEN THE TOMB!
When Henriette Juliane Caroline von Ruling died in 1782 at the relatively young age of 26, her husband Georg Earts von Ruling, was inconsolable. She has given birth to three son for him, all of whom had died at birth---and now Henriette herself was gone. Georg buried her in Gartenfriedhof in Hanover, Germany, beneath a massive rectangular stone, carved into a intricate, flowing drapery. On the tomb Georg, a poet and musician wrote, "Separation is the lot of humanity,but leaving early is life's greatest bitterness."
But it's the next line that Georg added to the base of the monument that's best remembered: "May this tomb bought for eternity never be opened."
NOTE(JB): It's easy to see Georg did not either know, or believe in the Bible's resurrections. (There's two, 1000 years apart)
It turns out that even the best human expectations fail--- even those intended for eternity. The tiny seed of the4 Birch tree fell on Henriette's tomb and washed by rain into a crevice between the massive stones. No one noticed the first tender, green shoot. Undetected, it shot upwards to the light. The roots expanded, a cell at a time. With the passing of years, the growing plant began to push apart the massive blocks of stone. It lifted the entire monument, and the iron fasteners that bound it to its foundation...snapped.
The tomb that was never to open, cracked. Today, the site s known as the Open Grave--- a destination for all who want to see how enforceable even to most stubborn of human intentions may be.
AN UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY?
Some say that death is the end, a plunge into oblivion. William Shakespeare places in the mouth of Hamlet a bitter soliloquy: "Death is the undiscovered country from whose born no traveler returns."
Note(JB) : It's obvious Mr. Shakespeare never read the Bible with understanding, for at the Second Coming, Jesus will gather His own, and the4y go to heaven, and to return 1,000 years later to this same earth!
Because no human can see what lies beyond, and because we don't know how to reanimate dead bodies and erased memories ourselves, some believe it's therefore impossible for us to be alive beyond death.
Yet everything in the human psyche opposes the finality of the grave. If we were made to die, why is this experience to alien to us? Why do we have such a clear sense of our ow3n existence, and why do we year for life to continue? Given the trails and troubles of life, asks Hamlet, shouldn't we be as happy to end life as to live it? Death "puzzles the will." he answers himself, "and makes us rather bear those ills we have than to fly to others the we know not of."

THE CLASH OF RIGHTS...Where's the Balance? SIGN OF THE times JUNE 2019.
MY MANY THANKS TO BOTH NICHOLAS MILLER AND THIS MAGAZINE. [John B]
WHAT'S THE SOLUTION WHEN THE RIGHTS ENSHRINED IN THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION SEEM JO CONFLICT WITH EACH OTHER????
AS THE EXECUTIVE AND legislative BRANCHES OF THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT DESCEND INTO NEW DEPTHS OF PARTISAN CONFLICT AND GRIDLOCK ADVOCACY GROUPS ARE TURING EVER MORE FREQUENTLY TO THE COURTS TO RESOLVE ISSUES THAT REGULAR POLITICS CANNOT. [ or seems to be unwilling to do, for political reasons!]
NOTE(JB): This is where the Special Interests, go JUDGE SHOPPING which in the end, produces the tyranny of the minorities! ANTIFA {anti- Fascist} are as Fascist as any of the past, it's THEIR WAY or nothing! Yet not one Democrat has said a word in opposition, to my knowledge. But then again, history {as it occurred} is filled with Democratic evils! They were in control of the Southern States, from the top to the bottom, and they wanted to keep the SLAVERY SYSTEM intact, and fired the first shot in the Civil War. After wards the created and supported the KKK, and when the nations rebelled against them, they made up the "JIM CROW LAWS", yet somehow they managed to push the blame upon the Republicans,j and enjoyed the 100% support5 of our Black population! {Go Figure } but that's slowly changing, as people do learn the truth, in spite of all the "REVISED HISTORY BOOKS" Propagated by the Centers of Socialistic Learning, in Collages and Universities., whose annual costs have increased many times faster as the Government Support is steadily increased the
Student's support system. {WHY not? The TAX PAYERS are many and deep pockets in the Take from those that have, to those that need as Communistic thinking} Just look at today's situation between segments of society, in gun rights, and religion and LGBT, civil rights on the other hand! Whose rights are superior? NEITHER SHOULD BE!!!! HOWEVER FEW LOVE TO HAVE EITHER SIDE'S VIEWS "SHOVED INTO OUR FACES", CONSTANTLY! WHAT PEOPLE DO I N THEIR PRIVACY IS BETWEEN THEM AND THEIR DEITY! THIS DOES NOT BELONG IN AND FOR PUBLIC DISPLAYS. {We all pass water, and excrement, but MOST do so in private ,right?]
2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
Sorry, it does NOT say anything about being about not being physically UNABLE to work...No work= No eat!
But the courts, (JB are run by Human beings, and no human is perfect} thus are not immune from the same extreme and absolutist language and views that have come to characterize our politics.
Competing social groups wrap their causes in lofty language of the Bill of Rights and insist on the absolute priority of their rights over all others. We ALL must choose, we are told, between gun rights or victims' rights, [JB.. what about the gun owners' rights of self-protection, if you don't believe that this is valid, why not paint a sign in your front yard, "GUN_FREE ZONE"? Put your life where your mouth is! ] or religious rights or sexual and gender rights, freedom of speech, or reputation's rights.
But such absolutists advocacy that "MY rights or group should always win, seriously overlooks the history of rights reflected in the text of the Bill of Rights., itself.
History shows our Protestant heritage of rights to be a community affair, which means that no right is absolute.
NOTE(JB) : The ONLY absolutes are found in right and wrong, truth. They are found in the Word of God, the Holy Bible! Today most are ruled by SITUATIONAL ETHICS.
So we find ourselves with a rather a collection of values that must be weighed, balanced, and carefully calibrated. The commitment to the overall system of rights is as important as the belief in any single right.
1 Corinthians 10:31 " Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."
The above is the reason why "HATE-SPEECH" is also against man's law. My constitutional Law professor made this point by asking us what the "Freedom of Speech" meant in the First Amendment. I had not ever thought about the significance of that article but could see that it did more than simply protect freedom of speech. The article conveyed the idea of regulating set of principles surrounding the idea of free-speech. Protecting the "Freedom of Speech also incorporated long standing common law principles about limiting libel, slander, and reputation. That's the why hate-speech is against the law!
This balancing of rights and values was seen even more explicitly in the religion clauses. The First Amendment did not just protect the "Free Exercise of Religion", but also forbade laws "Respecting an establishment of religion". The two clauses meant that neither could be interpreted in an absolute fashion: rather they must be weighed in some kind of tension and balance.
NOTE(JB) : In a true Christian world, No one would demand that their personal will be done, but rather ask, "Would you be willing to do God's will? But that's not how the facts are today, its all "IN YOUR FACE" CONFRONTATIONAL ISM Or better put, each side says, "MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY"! C. U. I N COURT! That's Satan's deceptions!
Personally, all these life-styles, are private, and should remain in the home, and should remain between those who so choose, and their Creator-God! When mankind judges, he, or she, is "Spitting into the wind hoping to stay DRY"
Y O U need facts??? IF...IF all the world accepted and practiced the gay lifestyle, in ONE GENERATION, the human race would become extinct!
Matthew 7:3 "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"
Luke 6:37 " Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:"
SHAKE and BAKE.
Thus, the Masterpiece Cake-shop case, which pitted the Colorado Christian's rights of conscience and expression against the non-discriminating rights of a gay couple, involved a careful balancing of rights and fundamental values. Some religious liberty experts fear that the Supreme Court was too nuanced in its decision in the Christian Baker's case. Though Jack Phillips, the Christian baker, won the case, he did so because a lower state tribunal judges had make remarks that appeared biased against Christians.
Some argue that the Masterpiece Bake Shop decision only protects religious convictions from overt abuse and ridicule and that if the lower court politely denied the rights of the baker instead of ridiculing his beliefs, he would not have had a case.This narrow reading of the decision seems hard to justify. But it has caused activists in the LGBT community to immediately turn around and sue the same Christian baker...again... Justice Brett Kavanaugh has tilted the court, probably quite decisively, in the conservative direction. He replaced Justice Kennedy, who was a moderate, voted regularly, and often would vote with the liberal wing as often as he voted with the conservative wing. and he had become a zealous advocate of LGBT rights.
NOTE (JB) : But does not this point out the very serious question: "Whose rights are superior"? Can one right supersede another, if yes then which side gets the courts "blessings"? What WILL be the cost to the public at large? What will this do to the rapists rights? The bank robbers rights? Well, you say, all these are against the law, but then so was Sodomy, at one time, right? Where do we as a society draw the line, when we chose to operate outside of the The Ten Commandments of God?
Please know the first FOUR Laws from God, are for our relationships with Him, the remaining 6 are for our relationships with each other-------- note.....
Matthew 5:28 "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."
The above is the "Spirit" of the law which says...
Deuteronomy 5:18 ".Neither shalt thou commit adultery."
WHOSE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM?
But, again, religious freedom advocates need to remember that here, too, there is danger in absolutism. Rights to sexual freedom and identity can become oppressive if given no meaningful limits, but claims to "Religious Freedoms" can also be used as a tool to entrench or impose the beliefs of a religious majority.
Though religious liberty is the first and foundational freedom in that it reveals the transcendence nature of all our rights, it cannot be absolute.Murder, adultery, or theft cannot be justified or defended in the name of exercising one's religious liberty.Similarly, a religion that claims the right to impose itself on others through the use of public funds, resources, or policies can become as oppressive as the secular ideologies it seeks to appose..
NOTE(JB) : Whenever, and, wherever, Church and state became one, PERSECUTIONS SOON FOLLOWED! Look at ISIS today and, the Roman Church of yesteryears, "The Dark Ages"
A hint that the court may be moving towards this other extreme was revealed in a very recent matter of a death row inmate Domineque Ray. Ray was a Muslim believer, and he requested that he be allowed to have an Imam, a Muslim clergyman, at his side during his final moments. Prison regulation, however, only permitted prison employees to be in the death chamber, and only chaplains on staff were Christian. So Christian inmates could have a Christian chaplain at their side at an execution, but other faiths were out of luck.
Ray challenged this up to the Supreme Court, but all five conservative judges on this court sided against Ray, ruling that the First Amendment did not provide him equal access to a chaplain of his religion.
Interestingly, the four liberal judges sided with Ray, arguing that the Constitution required religious groups to be treated equally. Justice Elena Kagan wrote that "The clearest command of the Establishment Clause" is that "one religious denomination cannot be officially preferred over another", but,, "the State's policy does just that." So the conservatives who often have the most to say about religious liberty, at times don't appear to extend that same freedom to Non-Christian Religions.
The conservative justices also seem less aware of the importance of the Establishment Clause to maintaining religious freedom. In the First Amendment, our Protestant Founders sought to balance the right to religious freedom with the right to be free from religious impositions be state authorities. Religious people cannot, in the name of religious freedom, impose their religious beliefs through the mechanisms of the state.
A COMMUNITY OF RIGHTS.
This same pattern of balancing of values ca n be seen throughout the Bill of Rights, as the rights of individual privacy, give way to public security concerns in the face of particularized search warrants: life, liberty, and property are protected from arbitrary or lawless intrusions, and rights of victims and the accused are balanced through procedural protections.
This Protestant idea of the community of rights is brought to its height in the Ninth Amendment. Here it is acknowledged that the community of rights extends beyond those listed in the Constitution--- that the rights listed in the Constitution should not be used or " construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people"
NOTE(JB) : In other words, to quote an old saying, "Your rights stops your fist 1/4 of an inch from my nose! This all rights are equal, and no one's rights are superior to an other's! IF..IF I am a baker, and a same sex couple wants me to bake them a cake commemorating their union, they should ask, if that's OK with me, IF..IF its not, then ask me If I know a baker that is willing. All, concerned part in a good mood! But I guess that's the why we in the U.S of A. have more lawyers that rest of the world, combined! They ALL want to make a living, right?
Matthew 22:35 "Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,"
It reminds originalists and living constitutionalists alike that we are meant to interpret the3 rights, both internal and external, in which it itself was formed Further, it reveals that these rights are not the product or gift of the Government but reside in the people. The Declaration of Independence reveals that these rights did not originate with the people; they originated with God Himself.
DELICATE BALANCE.
This all means that the wrong position on a host of constitutional rights questions may not be primarily HOW one comes down of an issue, but rather the MANNER in which the position is held. The wrong position in all cases involving a clash of fundamental rights is the one that says these are easy cases for the Supreme Court. Those who admit the difficulty of the balancing of the values involved have it right, however they many come out on the merits of these cases.
Freedom of religion, expression, and movements are among our most venerable and deeply rooted liberties; yet nondiscrimination, personal safety, and national security are also profound values that are core and central to our society. Whenever these rights clash, a fair resolution will involve careful, nuanced, difficult evaluations of values and balancing of interests.
To say that a decision that involves such competing values is easy means ignoring years of history and experiences during which our national community has learned to appreciate also important values. It's easy to remember the individual rights that we personally value the most. But it's also easy to forget the community of rights, of which they are a part--- a community of give and take that makes our society a civil and fair place to life, for all people, of all faiths, and values.
This is the society that our dissenting Protestant founders envisioned and that has become a blessing and safeguard for people of all faiths and no-faiths alike. We do well to seek tp preserve it from extremes of either the secular left or the Zealous right.
Nicolas Miller, IJ,PhD, is a professor of history at Andrews University, Berrien Springs , Michigan , who specializes in religious liberty and constitutional law.
The state of Colorado withdrew its legal action against Masterpiece Cakeshop before the case reached the Supreme Court, probably recognizing that, given the Court's conservative majority, their chance of winning was slim.

Part 4 of 4.; SATAN'S LAST RESORT. Pastor Steven Bohr
As always my many thanks to Pastor Bohr, for his always in depth studies. John B.
SATAN'S LAST RESORT.
When human probation closes, Satan will have full control over the finally impenitent, [ Great Controversy P.614}....
Revelation 22:11 " He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still."
Note(JB): The above speaks to the living at Jesus' return, those now living, it shall be at their last breath, the person's life is sealed, for good or evil, as there's no repenting possible from the grave. The "Breath of Life," then returns to He who created it, Genesis 2:7 Dust {body}+ Breath of Life = a living soul, remove any one and it's death. 1 Corinthians 15:5-55/ read it.
Yet there will be a small remnant {an identical copy of the church that founded} that refuses to bow to his authority. Up to this point, Satan has carried on his work of deception through his emissary, the "Man of sin", toward the end of the great tribulation. Satan will take matters into his own hands {jb for the first time]. He will personally counterfeit the second coming of Christ, 'to deceive, if possible, the very elect " [Matthew 24 23-24.]
The apostle Paul described this climatic moment in..
2 Thessalonians 2:8-9 And then shall that Wicked One-[ the Little Horn, the man of sin] 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,
NOTE (JB): remember these two highlighted words in the Greek the word is Parousia and used here only! NB*
THREE POINTS NEED TO BE MADE HERE.

NOTE (JB): remember these two highlighted words in the Greek the word is Parousia and used here only! NB*
THREE POINTS NEED TO BE MADE HERE.
- FIRST: we are no longer dealing generally with the 'mystery of lawlessness' that was chomping at the bit to reveal itself in the days of Paul, but rather with the 'law-less ONE" . Satan now takes matters into his own hands.
- SECOND: the word *Parousia* appears twice in these verses. In the first reference, the word describes Christ's Second coming {REMEMBER JESUS' FEET WILL NOT TOUCH THIS EARTH, HE'LL BE I N THE CLOUDS] this feet Satan will not be allowed to copy his feet shall be on this earth! Remember Satan will have his counterfeit PAROUSIA, BEFORE the real Messiah comes.
- THIRD: the combination of the three Greek words 'power,signs and wonders' is used in only one other verse in the New Testament, where Jesus performed these marvelous works while on earth. This means that Satan will counterfeit the signs and wonders that Jesus performed while He was on this earth
Acts 2:22 "Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:"
Ellen White described Satan's counterfeit second coming and described it as the 'Almost overmastering delusions': "As the crowning act in the great drama of deception, SATAN, himself will Persinate Christ. The church has long professed to look to the Savior's advent as the consummation of her hopes. Now the great deceiver will make it appear, that Christ has come. In different parts of the world. Satan will manifest himself among men as a majestic being, of dazzling brightness, resembling the description given by John in
Revelation 1:13-15 "And in the midst of the seven 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. 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."
The glory that surrounds him is unsurpassed by anything that mortal eyes have yet beheld. The shouts of triumph rings out in the air: "Christ has come! Christ has come"! The people will Prostrate themselves in adoration, before him, while he lifts up his hands and pronounces a blessing upon them, as Christ blessed His disciples when He was upon this earth. His voice is soft and subdued, and yet full of melody in gentle, compassionate tones, he (Satan ) presents SOME heavenly truths , that the Savior uttered: he heals the diseases of the people, and then in his assumed character of Jesus Christ, he will claim that he changed the Sabbath to Sunday and commands that all to hallow the day which eh blessed. He declares that those who persist in keeping holy the Seventh Day are blaspheming his name by refusing to listen to his angels sent to them with light and truth.This is the strong, almost overmastering delusion...........The Great Controversy p. 624
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 " 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."
BEFORE OR AFTER PROBATION?
Some have questioned whether Satan's counterfeit PAROUSIA will occur during the Time of Trouble after the close of probation. After all, what good would it do for Satan to counterfeit the Second Coming in order to deceive the elect if the elect were already sealed and cannot be deceived? Satan knows at this point that he will not be able to deceive the elect, as he'd has already deceived all the rest of the people!
There's two reasons why I [ Pastor Bohr]believe that Satan's counterfeit Parousia will take place After the close of probation.
FIRST: Matthew 24 describes a sequence of events in strict chronological order. The chapter repeatedly uses the word THEN (Verses 9,10,14'16,21,23,30" to describe the sequence. Matthew 24:23-27 where the counterfeit coming is described, clearly portrays the events that occur after the Sunday Law [Matthew 24:15] and during the great tribulation of Matthew 24::21-22:
SECOND: Ellen White places Stan's counterfeit Parousia in the chapter on the Time of Trouble AFTER probation's close [Great Controversy P.624]
HOWEVER.... why would Satan even bother to counterfeit the Second coming if probation has closed? After all, he knows, at least intellectually, that he will not be able to deceive the elect, he still harbours a slim hope that he can counteract The Word.
Let's pursue this line of thought with another example, that very clear. Does Satan know {and has known for centuries] that he will not be able to conquer the New Jerusalem after the millennium? Of course he does The next passage is far too clear to come to another conclusion...
Revelation 20:7-10 " And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."
WHY...why then will Satan gather the multitudes to attack the city if he knows, from the Word of God, it will be fruitless? Because Satan is Satan, he's not going to give up while life remains within him! He will try to take by force what he and his non-believers rejected when it was offered freely! He and they still harbor the thin hope that they can counteract the Word of God and conquer the city, and eat from the Tree of Life!
THE GREAT ISSUE IN THE END-TIME CONFLICT.
In conclusion, what will the the great issue that will draw the battle lines in the final war? Every indication is the passage and in others is that the battle will be over exactly what it was in the beginning! OBEDIENCE, or DISOBEDIENCE
Genesis 2:17 " But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
N OTE(JB) Eve disobeyed God, rebelled and believed Satan who made use of the serpent as his ventriloquist's dummy.
More specifically, the Ten Commandment. The Little Horn THOUGHT HE COULD CHANGE GOD'S LAWS. THE NAME ANTICHRIST IS THE "MAN OF SIN" AND SIN IS THE transgression of the law {Romans 6:23] "wages of sin is death." Paul refers to the apostasy as the mystery of lawlessness.
Why has Satan declared war of the believers in Jesus?
Revelation 12:17 " And the dragon was wroth with the woman, [Christ's church] and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
NOTE(JB) Testimony of Jesus????
Revelation 19:10 "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."
Ellen White's writings, she insisted that she was only a messenger, not a prophet! But ill heath allowed only an 3rd grade education yet she wrote more book and all but one lady. But she is the most translated author. WHY?
Yet it is ONLY buy the strictest adhering to the Word of God that will protect anyone from the 'almost overmastering power' of Satan, and those who accept him, will share his fate.
What is the truth that world rejected?
John 14:6 " Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
NO there's here no Mary nor any Priest.
John 17:17 "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."
This 17th chapter is Jesus' longest recorded prayer, learn it!
Psalms 119:42-44 "So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever."
It is impossible to say truthfully, that I love Jesus unless, I also love His law and, His truth.
Yet always know this fact>>>>>
Isaiah 8:20 "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."
Matthew 24:4 " And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you."
Matthew 24:23-27 " Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 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."

PART 3 OF 3.REFLECTION OF THE PAPACY , STEVEN BHOR
AGAIN, MY MANY THANKS FOR THE WORK OF PASTOR BHOR (John B)
RELEASED ONCE AGAIN.
WHY IS THE PAPACY STILL UNDER RESTRAINT? WHY IS HER WOUND STILL FESTERING?
Malachi Martin, Jesuit scholar and a close friend of Pope John Paul II who wrote the best-selling book "Keys of this Blood" explained in 1986: " For 1500 years, and more Papel Rome had kept as strong a hand, as possible in each local community around the wide world. By aned large, and admitting some exceptions, that had the Roman View, {Ellen White calls it the 'Roman element', Great Controversy (CG) 581} until Two Hundred years of inactivity had been imposed, upon the Papacy by the Major Secular Powers, of the world. Quoted in Christianity Today, November 21, 1986 , p. 26.
There are THREE MAIN POINTS:
RELEASED ONCE AGAIN.
WHY IS THE PAPACY STILL UNDER RESTRAINT? WHY IS HER WOUND STILL FESTERING?
Malachi Martin, Jesuit scholar and a close friend of Pope John Paul II who wrote the best-selling book "Keys of this Blood" explained in 1986: " For 1500 years, and more Papel Rome had kept as strong a hand, as possible in each local community around the wide world. By aned large, and admitting some exceptions, that had the Roman View, {Ellen White calls it the 'Roman element', Great Controversy (CG) 581} until Two Hundred years of inactivity had been imposed, upon the Papacy by the Major Secular Powers, of the world. Quoted in Christianity Today, November 21, 1986 , p. 26.
There are THREE MAIN POINTS:
- The Papacy kept as STRONG HAND as possible in each local community around the wide world for 1,500 years.
- During the last 200 years, the Papacy has been restrained contrary to her will.
- The major secular powers, of the world have imposed this restraint, against her will, upon the Papacy.
We can be certain that Martin did not realize that in his statement he was describing the deadly wound and the captivity of the Papacy that is described in Revelation 13:9-10.
Revelation 13:9-10 " If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints."
So, what happened two hundred years before Martin wrote? The French Revolution (1789- 1797). This cataclysmic event for the Papacy reached its climax when General Berthier took Pope Pius VI captive in 1798 {the end of the 1260 years of prophecy begun in 538 found in Daniel} The CIVIL SWORD that she had used, so very effectively, was turned upon her, giving her the DEADLY WOUND. France emancipated herself from the Papal Powers, ands established a free republic. As a result, one nation after the other in the western Europe , and the western Hemisphere formed democratic governments, that have not allowed the Papacy to use them to accomplish her own ends. That is to say, the secular governments have kept the Papacy restrained or in captivity.
The French Revolution did much more that just deliver France from the iron fist of the Papacy. It actually led all the major secular powers of Europe within a brief period to proclaim their emancipation from Papal dominance..
E.G.WHITE AND THE HEALING OF THE WOUND.:
The prophecy of Revelation 13 tells us the history of the Papacy is NOT yet complete. The chapter tells us that the civil rulers will once again allow the Papacy to attach herself to them, to determine and dictate her agenda. The striking prophecy of Revelation 13: 3, and 11-18 explains that the secular powers of the world following the lead of the United States, will release the3 papacy from its captivity, and then she will behave as she did in her heyday. Then the Prophecy of 2 Thessalonians 2 will reach its complete fulfillment.
NOTE(JB): remembering always, from the Book of Daniel, that the Bible's beasts, the earthly kingdoms that put both civil and church into one, and that the steady march to the west from Babylon, to the Medo-Persians, to the Greeks, and then to the Rome of the Caesars and finally all the west to the New World. The Little Horn = Papacy, came up in the seas of humanity, but the U.S. came up out of the ground = not many people.
Revelation 13:1-3 "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
NOTE (JB) : John is looking back into time, but Daniel was given the view forwards into time, in case you think the Bible errs, thus the why the "animals" are list in a different order!
However, Revelation 17th chapter vividly portrays the final chapter of the prophecy of 2nd Thess.2 and Rev.13:3 , 11-18 we see a woman, a harlot sustains an adulterous spiritual relationships with the civil rulers of the earth...
Revelation 17:1-2 "And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication."
Revelation 17:15 " And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."
The Kings of the world gladly drink her fermented wine . of false doctrines....
Revelation 17:4 "And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:"
NOTE(JB): Ever see all the pomp and ceremony of Catholic mass? What5 are the Primary colors?
She has DAUGHTERS, that were "born" from her at some point because her name is the "Mother of Harlots
Revelation 17:5 "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
Note(JB): Since the late 1980's under the misstated, as the Ecumenical Movement, most of earth's religions, have kissed the Papal Ring i n fealty. As Pope Frances, the Jesuit Priest, said "let us come together i n love, of Jesus Christ, and when we get to heaven all doctrinal differences will be explained and resolved." Sorry Mr. Priest, that MUST be resolved by each person, before probation closes, How can we know this, Jesus the Shepherd has His sheep, but Satan has his goats, remember? Only sheep will gain entry into the Pearly Gates! But then this human kingdom has not ever put much stock in the Holy Bible right? As the writings of the early church fathers,takes precedence, over the Bible!! Most significantly...
Revelation 17:6 " And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration."
NOTE(JB) : Please stop to think, could a Church, wind-up ruling all the earth, without some super-natural help?
Revelation 13:2 "And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."
Revelation 12:9 " And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him"
Ellen G. White wrote 150 years before Malachi Martin and used virtually Identical Terminology, she predicted that the Civil Powers of the world would remove the restraint they have placed upon her , the Papacy and the result would be a revival of her tyranny....
The Great Controversy (G.C.) p.564.. "let the restraints now imposed buy secular governments be removed and Rome be reinstated i her former power, and there would speedily be a revival of her tyranny and persecutions."
THE PARALLEL OF REVELATION 20:
Revelation 20, helps us understand the binding and unbinding of the Papacy jby the Secular Powers. In these last days [of current flesh men] of earth's history, Satan is alive and free to accomplish his purposes because he is able to influence the CIVIL POWERS, of the world to do his bidding.. Satan has always accomplish his purposes by using the willing sword of the Secular powers.
Remember Satan used Pharaoh, the great dragon [Ezekiel 29:3] to attempt to destroy Moses. In Revelation 12, we find a fiery red dragon standing before the woman [Mary] and {Christ's Church} to devour her child [Jesus] as soon as He was born. Satan was behind the plot, but the visible instrument that Satan used was Herod, the pagan ruler od the dragon's system of power the Roman Empire.
While Daniel 7:25 tells us the Little Horn, [the Papacy] persecuted the saints, of the Most High, ' for a time, times, and the dividing of time' Revelation 12;6 AND 13-15 tells us the Dragon persecuted the woman for the same period. Thus the Little Horn, The Vatican, was the Dragon's agent!
In Revelation 3:10, God announced that Satan would cas5t many members of the church of Smyrna into prison for ten days. Satan did not do this but used Diocletian jto accomplish his agenda.
In the present, Satan is well, and free, wreaking havoc because the civil powers of the earth are at his disposal to carry out his agenda.....
NOTE(JB) : Please do not think that all the wars of history, did not have Satan's efforts and blessings!
However, when Jesus comes, all the kings of the earth, that did Satan's bidding, will die!
[Revelation 19:20} Without his base of support to carry forward his agenda, Satan will be Wounded, and in captivity [Revelation 20:1-3.]
However, after the 1,000 years, [the Millennium] the wicked kings all who obeyed men, will be resurrected [but with the ills, diseases they died with] will once again be deceived by Satan,
and this is how Satan's wound is healed, he has people to deceive once more, [Revelation 20: 1`-3, 7-9]
In short, when Satan loses the support of the kings of the earth at the Second Coming, he will be mortally wounded, in captivity, but when he regains their support after the Millennium, his wound is healed and he is freed from captivity {chained by circumstances]. In a similar manner, when the Papacy is able to use the civil powers to accomplish her will, she is healed and free of restraint, but when the civil rulers withdraw their support she is wounded and in captivity. Moreover, when the kings restore the sword, the papacy will be healed and free once again.
THE PAPACY'S 'HEALER'
Revelation 13:11-1`8. describes a beast ( remember this is the Bible denoting a earthly power that puts church a nd state together as one) that rises from the ground, as opposed to the Little Horn/The Vatican coming up our of the sea of peoples, this beast represents the United States of America. {at the time it was a very sparsely populated, land mass.
Revelation 13:11-18 " And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
I n the first stage of its existence, this nation guaranties full civil and religious liberty,separating church and state. However, at the near-end of ot its existence it will do all in its power to remove the restraints from the Papacy, and the Little Horn, will once more rule with all the power she sued to exert.
E.G.WHITE AND THE HEALING OF THE WOUND.:
The prophecy of Revelation 13 tells us the history of the Papacy is NOT yet complete. The chapter tells us that the civil rulers will once again allow the Papacy to attach herself to them, to determine and dictate her agenda. The striking prophecy of Revelation 13: 3, and 11-18 explains that the secular powers of the world following the lead of the United States, will release the3 papacy from its captivity, and then she will behave as she did in her heyday. Then the Prophecy of 2 Thessalonians 2 will reach its complete fulfillment.
NOTE(JB): remembering always, from the Book of Daniel, that the Bible's beasts, the earthly kingdoms that put both civil and church into one, and that the steady march to the west from Babylon, to the Medo-Persians, to the Greeks, and then to the Rome of the Caesars and finally all the west to the New World. The Little Horn = Papacy, came up in the seas of humanity, but the U.S. came up out of the ground = not many people.
Revelation 13:1-3 "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
NOTE (JB) : John is looking back into time, but Daniel was given the view forwards into time, in case you think the Bible errs, thus the why the "animals" are list in a different order!
However, Revelation 17th chapter vividly portrays the final chapter of the prophecy of 2nd Thess.2 and Rev.13:3 , 11-18 we see a woman, a harlot sustains an adulterous spiritual relationships with the civil rulers of the earth...
Revelation 17:1-2 "And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication."
Revelation 17:15 " And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."
The Kings of the world gladly drink her fermented wine . of false doctrines....
Revelation 17:4 "And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:"
NOTE(JB): Ever see all the pomp and ceremony of Catholic mass? What5 are the Primary colors?
She has DAUGHTERS, that were "born" from her at some point because her name is the "Mother of Harlots
Revelation 17:5 "And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
Note(JB): Since the late 1980's under the misstated, as the Ecumenical Movement, most of earth's religions, have kissed the Papal Ring i n fealty. As Pope Frances, the Jesuit Priest, said "let us come together i n love, of Jesus Christ, and when we get to heaven all doctrinal differences will be explained and resolved." Sorry Mr. Priest, that MUST be resolved by each person, before probation closes, How can we know this, Jesus the Shepherd has His sheep, but Satan has his goats, remember? Only sheep will gain entry into the Pearly Gates! But then this human kingdom has not ever put much stock in the Holy Bible right? As the writings of the early church fathers,takes precedence, over the Bible!! Most significantly...
Revelation 17:6 " And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration."
NOTE(JB) : Please stop to think, could a Church, wind-up ruling all the earth, without some super-natural help?
Revelation 13:2 "And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."
Revelation 12:9 " And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him"
Ellen G. White wrote 150 years before Malachi Martin and used virtually Identical Terminology, she predicted that the Civil Powers of the world would remove the restraint they have placed upon her , the Papacy and the result would be a revival of her tyranny....
The Great Controversy (G.C.) p.564.. "let the restraints now imposed buy secular governments be removed and Rome be reinstated i her former power, and there would speedily be a revival of her tyranny and persecutions."
THE PARALLEL OF REVELATION 20:
Revelation 20, helps us understand the binding and unbinding of the Papacy jby the Secular Powers. In these last days [of current flesh men] of earth's history, Satan is alive and free to accomplish his purposes because he is able to influence the CIVIL POWERS, of the world to do his bidding.. Satan has always accomplish his purposes by using the willing sword of the Secular powers.
Remember Satan used Pharaoh, the great dragon [Ezekiel 29:3] to attempt to destroy Moses. In Revelation 12, we find a fiery red dragon standing before the woman [Mary] and {Christ's Church} to devour her child [Jesus] as soon as He was born. Satan was behind the plot, but the visible instrument that Satan used was Herod, the pagan ruler od the dragon's system of power the Roman Empire.
While Daniel 7:25 tells us the Little Horn, [the Papacy] persecuted the saints, of the Most High, ' for a time, times, and the dividing of time' Revelation 12;6 AND 13-15 tells us the Dragon persecuted the woman for the same period. Thus the Little Horn, The Vatican, was the Dragon's agent!
In Revelation 3:10, God announced that Satan would cas5t many members of the church of Smyrna into prison for ten days. Satan did not do this but used Diocletian jto accomplish his agenda.
In the present, Satan is well, and free, wreaking havoc because the civil powers of the earth are at his disposal to carry out his agenda.....
NOTE(JB) : Please do not think that all the wars of history, did not have Satan's efforts and blessings!
However, when Jesus comes, all the kings of the earth, that did Satan's bidding, will die!
[Revelation 19:20} Without his base of support to carry forward his agenda, Satan will be Wounded, and in captivity [Revelation 20:1-3.]
However, after the 1,000 years, [the Millennium] the wicked kings all who obeyed men, will be resurrected [but with the ills, diseases they died with] will once again be deceived by Satan,
and this is how Satan's wound is healed, he has people to deceive once more, [Revelation 20: 1`-3, 7-9]
In short, when Satan loses the support of the kings of the earth at the Second Coming, he will be mortally wounded, in captivity, but when he regains their support after the Millennium, his wound is healed and he is freed from captivity {chained by circumstances]. In a similar manner, when the Papacy is able to use the civil powers to accomplish her will, she is healed and free of restraint, but when the civil rulers withdraw their support she is wounded and in captivity. Moreover, when the kings restore the sword, the papacy will be healed and free once again.
THE PAPACY'S 'HEALER'
Revelation 13:11-1`8. describes a beast ( remember this is the Bible denoting a earthly power that puts church a nd state together as one) that rises from the ground, as opposed to the Little Horn/The Vatican coming up our of the sea of peoples, this beast represents the United States of America. {at the time it was a very sparsely populated, land mass.
Revelation 13:11-18 " And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
I n the first stage of its existence, this nation guaranties full civil and religious liberty,separating church and state. However, at the near-end of ot its existence it will do all in its power to remove the restraints from the Papacy, and the Little Horn, will once more rule with all the power she sued to exert.
- IT [The U.S.] will exercise all the Authority of the First Beast.
- IT will force the whole world to WORSHIP the First Beast.[NIV- on behalf. CEV. It worked for]
- IT will make an Image of the First Beast. [See Daniel chapter 3 about the image of gold}
- IT will make the image to bring Honor [to the beast] a nd whosoever does not worship the image will be killed.
- IT will enforce the Mark of First Beast on pain of not being able to buy nor sell.
IT, being this American nation! note: E.R.White: "Testimonies to the Church, Vol.6. p18. Every country on the globe will follow the example of the United States. "As America, the land of religious liberty shall unite with the Papacy in forcing the conscience and compelling men to honor the false sabbath, the people of every country on the globe, will be led to follow her example."\

Part 2 of 4. REFLECTIONS OF THE PAPACY BY PASTOR S. BHOR.
THE REST OF THE STORY.
Again my many thanks to Secrets unsealed and Pastor Bhor..(john b)
In summary, let's look at what we've seen so far....
Again my many thanks to Secrets unsealed and Pastor Bhor..(john b)
In summary, let's look at what we've seen so far....
- So long as the Roman Empire and their Emperors held the power, the Bishops of Rome held power in within the religious flied.
- When Constantine moved the Seat of the Empire east to Constantinople [Istanbul- Turkey] and the northern tribes, "Barbarians" carved up the western Europe, that was when the "RESTRAINER" was taken out of the way........
2 Thessalonians 2:7 " For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way."
However look at these verses......
2 Thessalonians 2:3 " Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;"
Revelation 13:18 " Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
Please note this is 6 6 6 and not Satan's number, but that of a m an with a particular bent of character. Satan is still a powerful angel, fallen though he is, but he's not...a man. This character meant that as each successor to the Papal throne, from which also the Caesars ruled, but the Popes ruled both civil and church as one, for 1260 years, from 538 to 1798, but they greatly increased their powers beginning in 457 A.D.
However, there's a chapter of the story that Paul did not tell the Thessalonians. We must remember that when the apostle Paul died, John had not yet written the Book of Revelations [of Jesus Christ] Thus Paul relied on Daniel 7th chapter. Revelation 13 expands upon this 7th chapter of Daniel, i n point of fact, Daniel' book is a must, as a n "Overlay" to Revelation, in order to understand it.
Revelation 13:1-10 "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 3.And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.4. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8. 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. 9.If any man have an ear, let him hear 10. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints."
This passage expands Daniel 7 and adds the "Man of Sin", would have TWO periods of domination, on isw now past, the other is yet to come. .Verses 1 and, 2. this emphasized that the "chains" have been released, from 538 to 1798, the 1260 days/years, the 42 months [Rev. 11:2 and 13:5] The second period of Papal power will be destroyed as...
Daniel 7:25-26 " And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end."
At Christ's Second coming HE shall destroy this dominion, as well as any non-believers.....
2 Thessalonians 2:8 "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:"
As no sinner can live, before Christ or the Father's glory, and not be consumed! The why for this verse....
Matthew 24:28 " For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together."
Plus see Luke 17:37.
In similar fashion, Jesus spoke about the resurrection of the just and the wicked asd if they would occur at the same time......
John 5:28-29 " Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation."
Thus, a simple reading of these verses leaves the impression that the two resurrection occur at the same time, because the two gives not the smallest of hints that these actions, are in reality, separated by the Millennium's 1,000 years........
Revelation 20:5-6 " But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."
Note (JB) : This is one reason for the why we have so many divisions in Christian Churches..people taking hold of verses that they agree with, and forget the rest!

Im 1798 AD, the civil power of France {Napoleon] wanting to crown himself Emperor, knew he needed to overthrow the Papal powers. This was followed by other nations and the Vatican was reduced to being only a Church, without any territory, therefore no civil powers," THE DEADLY WOUND", from which she is still not fully healed, even though Mussolini, i n 1929 concluded a treaty in which he restored 114 Acres of land , and she again became a nation, and why the Popes have spoken in the U.N. as they are a Nation,, but she does not yet have civil powers over other nations as yet!
However....... Revelation 13:3-4 "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?"
Yes, this action is as of 2019, still future, these verses show that this United States of America has a Biblical role to play...
Revelation 13:11-12 "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed."
NOTE (JB): Please re-read Daniel, and learn that God the Creator {John 1:1-3,14.}foretold Dan.7 the earthly kingdoms from Babylon to Medo-Persia, to Greece under A.The Great, to Pagan Rome, to Papal Rome, as the steady march from East to West.
Where the Papal Rome as The Little Horn, CAME UP in a SEA OF PEOPLE, the USA came up out of the earth { low population] BUT it was by the power of the U.S. for all earth to worship the Beast whose wound by this act is now fully healed. and She SHALL again exercise the power of the sword that has has used for her 1260 years of absolute rule.."Believe as we say or die" is not an ISIS invention! Rome used for centuries, ask the Vandals, The Visigoths, and, The Lombards as they were "Pulled Up By The Roots," [Daniel 7:8 } between 475 and 538AD, when she took full control over church and state, via Excommunication threats!
I n the days of the apostle Paul, the civil power of Rome was restraining the man of sin but in 538, AD, the restraint was 'taken out of the way'. However, Paul did not explain that the civil powers of the world would restrain the Papacy once more in 1798 AD, only to release her once again near the end of history (1929 AD]
THE TWO STAGES OF THE MAN OF SIN.
Ellen White,in full accord with the Book of Revelations of Jesus Christ, explained the two stages of the 'man of sin': "The influence of Rome in the countries that once acknowledged her Dominion {Meaning a King and his domain] is still far from being destroyed and prophecy foretell a RESTORATION of her power. 'I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed; and all the world wondered after the beast." Great Controversy P. 579, and
Revelation 13:3 "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."
"When our nation [United States of America] shall so abjure {do away with} the principles of its government as to enact a Sunday Law; Protestantism will in this act join hands with popery: it will be nothing else that GIVING LIFE to the tyranny which has so long been eagerly watching its opportunity to SPRING AGAIN into active despotism." Testimonies to the Church, vol 5,p.712 {E.G.White estate.com}
Sings of the Times June 12, 1893... "Protestants will throw their whole influence and strength on the side of the Papacy [ Church of England is now fully Catholic,as have most other earthly religions rushed home to "Mother Church" , Ecumenical movements, truth & error mixed into a religious stew!] by a national act enforcing the flash Sabbath of Sunday worships thus giving LIFE & VIGOR back again to the corrupt faith of Rome, Reviving her tyranny and oppression of conscience. Then it will be time for God to work in His mighty power for the vindication of truth "
Revelation 14:6-11 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
NOTE (JB): FOREVER TORMENT? NO! For the wicked to be able to be punished eternally, MUST mean that God gives willing sinners eternal life! Death and sin are the last two enemies taken away, forever! Punishments shall be swift, BUT the RESULTS shall be forever.Biblical Illiteracy is running rampant since Evolution has been taught as truthful science.Its all nonsense, fabricated and upheld by atheists!
The BIG BANG ? Nothing came together with nothing and that caused the Big Bang??????? LIFE? Well that came to be from dirt and time! Believe it? Then I have an deal for Y O U ! Ocean Beachfront property in Nebraska, really cheap!
Notably. secular Philosopher AYN RAND, who wrote in 1067 agreeing with Ellen White: "The Catholic Church has never given up the hope to REESTABLISH, [she must have once has it, and lost it] the medieval UNION OF CHURCH AN D STATE with a GLOBAL STATE AND A GLOBAL THEOCRACY, as its ultimate goal. The ROMAN CHURCH/STATE is a hybrid- a monster of ecclesiastical and political power. It's political thought is totalitarian, and whenever it has had the opportunity to apply its principles the result has been BLOODY REPRESSION.
IF, during the last 30 plus years it has softened its assertion of supreme and irresponsible power, and has murdered fewer people than before,m such changes in behavior are not due to a change in its ideas, but to a CHANGE IN ITS CIRCUMSTANCES. THE ROMAN CHURCH-STATE IN THE 20TH CENTURY IS STILL AN INSTITUTION RECOVERING FROM HER MORTAL WOUND. If, and when it REGAINS its full power and authority , it will impose a regime more sinister than any the planet has yet seen" John W. Robbins, "Ecclesiastical Megalomania. p. 195.

And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
NOTE (JB): FOREVER TORMENT? NO! For the wicked to be able to be punished eternally, MUST mean that God gives willing sinners eternal life! Death and sin are the last two enemies taken away, forever! Punishments shall be swift, BUT the RESULTS shall be forever.Biblical Illiteracy is running rampant since Evolution has been taught as truthful science.Its all nonsense, fabricated and upheld by atheists!

Notably. secular Philosopher AYN RAND, who wrote in 1067 agreeing with Ellen White: "The Catholic Church has never given up the hope to REESTABLISH, [she must have once has it, and lost it] the medieval UNION OF CHURCH AN D STATE with a GLOBAL STATE AND A GLOBAL THEOCRACY, as its ultimate goal. The ROMAN CHURCH/STATE is a hybrid- a monster of ecclesiastical and political power. It's political thought is totalitarian, and whenever it has had the opportunity to apply its principles the result has been BLOODY REPRESSION.
IF, during the last 30 plus years it has softened its assertion of supreme and irresponsible power, and has murdered fewer people than before,m such changes in behavior are not due to a change in its ideas, but to a CHANGE IN ITS CIRCUMSTANCES. THE ROMAN CHURCH-STATE IN THE 20TH CENTURY IS STILL AN INSTITUTION RECOVERING FROM HER MORTAL WOUND. If, and when it REGAINS its full power and authority , it will impose a regime more sinister than any the planet has yet seen" John W. Robbins, "Ecclesiastical Megalomania. p. 195.
