  1. We all, as far as I know, grew up being told church is that building on the corner. The Bible, clearly, doesn't even talk about "church that building on the corner" except in negative terms. Jesus draws people to HIMSELF when HE is LIFTED UP. TESTIMONY OF JESUS. HIS WORD. At home, next door neighbors, laundromat, grocery store, work, school, playground.... INSTEAD OF ((worldly,carnality)) LIFT UP JESUS. TELL your family, neighbors, visitors, co-workers, WHAT JESUS has done for you. LOOK FOR people who LIVE WITH JESUS. ((oh, don't worry, you will know them if you see them; God Willing)). LOOK FOR people who HEAL in JESUS NAME. Healthy , JOYOUS LIVES. LOOK FOR people free from worldly power, in whom is no guile. They are few, so ASK GOD to lead them to you. HE will. IN ANY COUNTRY, HE WILL. IF YOUR ARE a man or a woman, a child, HE WILL. ASK HIM.
  2. the system around us. the global system. the world system. the politic. the economic. the devil. who can escape it ? ((oh, it is necessary to escape it for life. necessary to escape it to be saved. )) I know whose calendar it is on. The disciples all knew also. They TRUTHFULLY looked up eagerly for HIM DAILY. Don't have to know when. Just expect HIM EVERY DAY EAGERLY. LOOK WITH BIG WIDE OPEN EYES FULL OF JOY AND HOPE AND EXCITEMENT TO HIM. He says to expect HIS RETURN EAGERLY. So we* do. *"we" as defined by Scripture, by Yahweh.

  4. .... keep this 'anonymous' , but many believe this: .... again I"m an American, and like you I love my country. Because I adhere to Yahweh, abide in His WORD, and His WORD abides in me, thus, in perfect harmony with Jesus, with all Scripture, I do not love america. If I did, as once I did, I might believe what 'america' says. I don't anymore. Jesus says something different, Jesus IS LIGHT, and america does not agree with Jesus. Once someone seeks Yahweh the Creator, and believes in HIM, HE it is Who sets us free from the deceptions, sometimes gradually, sometimes all at once. HE is FAITHFUL and TRUE. america is not.
  5. That's one of the biggest deceptions TODAY, and many are lost because of it. I found your 'teacher', and he is unfaithful./ he is contrary to Scripture. He is opposed to Jesus.
  6. footnote: pray: shalom to Jerusalem ! I believe all Israel will cry out "Blessed is HE Who Comes in the Name Adonai!" all with one heart and soul and mind and at that moment Yeshua will quickly return and destroy the enemy gathered around Jerusalem.
  7. Well what does Jesus say ? He says : Mark 16:16 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) "16 Whoever ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,trusts and ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, is immersed,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,will be saved"; so, that's one point. for those who want to know what Jesus says. ---------- and then ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,one of the apostles ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,((in union with all the other apostles in Yahshua)) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and by Yahshua's authority and Yahshua's Revelation ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,said: Acts 2:38 "Kefa answered them, “Turn from sin, return to God, and each of you be immersed on the authority of Yeshua the Messiah into forgiveness of your sins" so, that's one more point. for those who want to know what Jesus says.---------------
  8. When I was in the concentration camp, a camp where only twenty percent of the women came out alive, we tried to cheer each other up by saying, "Nothing could be any worse than today." But we would find the next day was even worse. During this time a Bible verse that I had committed to memory gave me great hope and joy. "If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you; on their part evil is spoken of, but on your part He is glorified." (I Peter 3:14) I found myself saying, "Hallelujah! Because I am suffering, Jesus is glorified!" In America, the churches sing, "Let the congregation escape tribulation", but in China and Africa the tribulation has already arrived. This last year alone more than two hundred thousand Christians were martyred in Africa. Now things like that never get into the newspapers because they cause bad political relations. But I know. I have been there. We need to think about that when we sit down in our nice houses with our nice clothes to eat our steak dinners. Many, many members of the Body of Christ are being tortured to death at this very moment, yet we continue right on as though we are all going to escape the tribulation. Several years ago I was in Africa in a nation where a new government had come into power. The first night I was there some of the Christians were commanded to come to the police station to register. When they arrived they were arrested and that same night they were executed. The next day the same thing happened with other Christians. The third day it was the same. All the Christians in the district were being systematically murdered.
  9. excerpts from Corrie ten Boom: "There are some among us teaching there will be no tribulation, that the Christians will be able to escape all this. These are the false teachers that Jesus was warning us to expect in the latter days. Most of them have little knowledge of what is already going on across the world. I have been in countries where the saints are already suffering terrible persecution. In China, the Christians were told, "Don't worry, before the tribulation comes you will be translated – raptured." Then came a terrible persecution. Millions of Christians were tortured to death. Later I heard a Bishop from China say, sadly, "We have failed. We should have made the people strong for persecution, rather than telling them Jesus would come first. Tell the people how to be strong in times of persecution, how to stand when the tribulation comes, – to stand and not faint." I feel I have a divine mandate to go and tell the people of this world that it is possible to be strong in the Lord Jesus Christ. We are in training for the tribulation, but more than sixty percent of the Body of Christ across the world has already entered into the tribulation. There is no way to escape it." =========================================== "So Corrie's message here is "a word to the wise". It should be regarded by all serious Christians as crucially important information. Without this "heads-up" Christians in the West will be left unprepared. They are unwittingly being set up for a fall, even a Great Falling Away or a Great Apostasy. This is most unfortunate. We serve a loving God who has promised to keep His covenant people from the wrath to come. But He does tell them that 'in this world you will have tribulation' which is entirely different. Christian believers in China and elsewhere know and understand these things implicitly. They understand and accept blood covenant Christianity. These dear saints have entered into a serendipity. It is something which we in the Western Laodicean Church know little about right now. But our brothers and sisters in the Suffering Church over in places abroad are traveling up on that higher pathway, that Highway of Holiness. (Isa. 35) Theses dear saints are not trying to avoid the Way of the cross. So, why should we be angry at this message or offended by this High Calling? The wonderful testimony of Corrie Ten Boom and her sister Betsy was this. "There is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still." and "God will give us the love to be able to forgive our enemies".
  10. Amen Reinitin. Amen. and HalleluYAH to our KING ! Thanks for clarifying - POSITIVE EXPECTATION CONFIRMED_ you found HIM. No waiting until some day, ... no. All the choices" are written in Scripture , "Yahweh made everything simple, man complicated everything." ((NOT in a good way, but confusing on purpose, deceiving on purpose.)) Yes, everyone is blind. One key for me, so I didn't stay blind, I willingly kept seeking the TRUTH/ YAHSHUA/ YAHWEH.>> His Revelation that "ALL MEN ARE LIARS". all mankind is perverse and pernicious, blind and naked. Thus, knowing that, I did not hang on to anything man had taught me that did was not TRUTH. Test EVERYTHING - yes EVERYTHING until it is proven true before accepting it. As you found out also. SEEK YAHWEH and you found Him. I did SEEK YAHWEH, until I found Him. HIS PROMISE((like all the Scriptures; and the ones you posted)) Gave up everything for HIM. So simple. So true. So much JOY IN SALVATION ! and PEACE and RIGHTEOUSNESS ((HIS)). Yahshua addressed the formulas in the Gospel. The formulas never worked, and don't work. the ones you mentioned, held in high esteem by men, not so. ((can't say what Yahweh says here-- you know it though. He showed you too.))
  11. ((guessing)) I think they mean the beast will kill us. As for worry - read about Corrie ten Boom through the holocaust, other survivors and many killed also , who learned JOY in the midst of that. Also , Foxes book of martyrs. ((in worthy library and online)). even young girls stood up boldly when men broke down, and they boldly and joyfully did not draw back from death - they were executed , and did not resist. Also, same faith as described in Hebrews - men , woman, parents, tortured, killed, children taken brutally killed.... no fear. no drawing back. not resisting. like a lamb sent to the slaughter, like the Messiah Himself, the Savior.
  12. Please clarify. ((do you mean He is not found ? )) His Promise, of course, is who-so-ever seeks ME((Yahweh)) will find ME((Yahweh)). HIS conditions are clear and throughout HIS WORD. And HIS WORD says we ((in Him)) must boldly declare our oneness with HIM. ((woe to whoever does not)). i.e. the JOY of HIS SALVATION is ours in HIM TODAY, not some day by and by. Recently, again , I saw a ministry claiming, contrary to His WORD, that no one can enter HIS KINGDOM here on earth. In fulfillment of Yahshua's WORD: He spoke to them saying "you have the keys to heaven and refuse to enter; and you do all you can to prevent the little ones who are seeking heaven from finding ." ..."
  13. or the guilty. see foxes book of martyrs.
  14. as He spoke directly to the apostles and the disciples, ((who divinely right expected His return eagerly, in their lifetime)) as also Yahweh opened their minds to understand, better than anyone here today, we should be ready now, TODAY , ((yes, any moment, every moment we have breath)) and listen attentively to HIS WORD , every WORD that proceeds form the mouth of Yahweh, without which we perish.
  15. Yes, and at least 2/3rds of the whole world , people, reject Jesus and die apart from Him and are thrown into the lake of fire at the appointed time. Needing to know doesn't make it so.
  16. Yes AMEN TO SCRIPTURE/ YAHWEH'S WORD........... Blessings and Warnings , ALL HIS WORD. the errors above in op are almost nothing, but could be something. life and death something. cannot yet address them/ maybe nothing. Yahweh willing, soon know.
  17. Perhaps from such places. ((not found in Scripture))
  18. Many will die first. The Tsunami of Japan will seem like a kids snowball fight. Think of earth itself about to give birth........ going through "birth pangs"..... And wwI wwII dwarfed by wwIII And even worse: everyone offered freedom from debt. freedom from school loans. freedom from medical expenses. freedom from terrorists. freedom from housing costs. freedom from food costs. in their own little world - offered the whole world. for the price of their souls.
  19. First, Remember what Jesus said. ((about what is published today)). Then, remember what happened to Rachel Carson, Keith Green, Carey Reams, Maureen Salaman, Max Gerson, Linus Pauling, Dr. Shutes, Rife, and other whistle blowers((politic/medic/science/economic/military)) who published the TRUTH ? OH, perhaps also all of the apostles. Remember what happened to them ? And .... well.... see the point ? Goes back to what Jesus said: The lie will be published as 'truth'.... ..... .... the TRUTH will be discredited as a lie.... ((happens every day)) ((for much much longer than we have been alive))
  20. yes, Scripture- "every WORD" ((not bread alone))..... includes: (1) in any town you visit, seek out "FAITHFUL" ones. .................................................................... stay in one place .................................................................... spontaneously share what Yahweh gives you, decently and in order, ..................................................................... with generosity like Yahweh's and His ekklesia in ACTS, et al. ..................................................................... live "in union" with all the "FAITHFUL" ones, ..................................................................... by Yahweh's doing((we can't imitate that)) ..................................................................... meet daily for prayer and fellowship, meeting one another's needs as ..................................................................... Yahweh provides everything and everything is HIS. Also, realize all situations are totally in Yahweh's hands >> and DO as HE directs every day>>> ((in every city, there are more idols than >>>> )) ((remember s & g)) ((TEST EVERYTHING)) Acts 17:16-34Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) 16 While Sha’ul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit within him was disturbed at the sight of the city full of idols. 17 So he began holding discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and the “God-fearers,” and in the market square every day with the people who happened to be there.
  21. As it was set up, as it is used daily, it hurts and deceives people. perhaps billions of people. i.e. many more than hitler did. or terrorists do. plus, it is supported by the nwo and owg and owc and 'unfortunately' ? the government DEPENDS ON IT every day for 'income'/ 'to pay the bills' ((because of evil investments// profitmongering// widespread manipulation of media, stocks, people, etc etc etc))
  22. it is impossible to renew them so that they turn from their sin, as long as for themselves they keep executing the Son of God on the stake all over again and keep holding him up to public contempt. 7 For the land that soaks up frequent rains and then brings forth a crop useful to its owners receives a blessing from God; 8 but if it keeps producing thorns and thistles, it fails the test and is close to being cursed;[a] in the end, it will be burned. ------------------------- 2 He can deal gently with the ignorant and with those who go astray, 11 Therefore, let us do our best to enter that rest; so that no one will fall short because of the same kind of disobedience. Hebrews 4Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) 4 Therefore, let us be terrified of the possibility that, even though the promise of entering his rest remains, any one of you might be judged to have fallen short of it; 15 Now where it says, “Today, if you hear God’s voice, don’t harden your hearts, as you did in the Bitter Quarrel,” [c] 16 who were the people who, after they heard, quarreled so bitterly? All those whom Moshe brought out of Egypt. 17 And with whom was God disgusted for forty years? Those who sinned — yes, they fell dead in the Wilderness! 18 And to whom was it that he swore that they would not enter his rest? Those who were disobedient. ... 12 Watch out, brothers, so that there will not be in any one of you an evil heart lacking trust, which could lead you to apostatize from the living God! 13 Instead, keep exhorting each other every day, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you will become hardened by the deceit of sin. 14 For we have become sharers in the Messiah, provided, however, that we hold firmly to the conviction we began with, right through until the goal is reached.
  23. 13 “You have spoken strongly against me,” says Adonai. “Yet you say, ‘How have we spoken against you?’ 14 By saying, ‘There is no point in serving God. What good is it to obey his orders .... 15 We consider the arrogant happy; also evildoers prosper; they put God to the test; nevertheless, they escape.’” Malachi 3Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) Malachi 3 “Look! I am sending my messenger to clear the way before me; and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple. Yes, the messenger of the covenant, in whom you take such delight — look! Here he comes,” says Adonai-Tzva’ot. 2 But who can endure the day when he comes? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire, like the soapmaker’s lye. 3 He will sit, testing and purifying the silver; he will purify the sons of Levi, refining them like gold and silver, so that they can bring offerings to Adonai uprightly. 4 Then the offering of Y’hudah and Yerushalayim will be pleasing to Adonai, as it was in the days of old, as in years gone by. 5 “Then I will approach you for judgment; and I will be quick to witness against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers; against those who take advantage of wage-earners, widows and orphans; against those who rob the foreigner of his rights and don’t fear me,” says Adonai-Tzva’ot. Then those who feared Adonai spoke together; and Adonai listened and heard. A record book was written in his presence for those who feared Adonai and had respect for his name. 17 “They will be mine,” says Adonai-Tzva’ot, “on the day when I compose my own special treasure. I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him. 18 Then once again you will see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between the person who serves God and one that doesn’t serve him.
