Anybody want to take a guess as to which opposing spirits are involved in this?????? Let’s see, who was it that was cast to the EARTH for his rebellion.
What kind of an “order” is the antichrist going to put into place….a new __ __
__ __ __ order. Anybody want to take a guess how many of our past presidents have coined that phrase? Time to wake up and smell the coffee…..that will probably be rationed here pretty soon…..like it is in Cuba……

Israeli military and police on high alert for Earth Day
DEBKAfile March 29, 2012, 4:08 PM (GMT+02:00)

A high alert is in place on Israel’s borders, the West Bank and inside the country ready for disorders, disruptions or terrorist attacks Friday, March 30, the annual Israeli Arab Earth Day. Preparations are afoot in Iran, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan to support the event by mass assaults on Israel’s borders. The Palestinian Authority is organizing disturbances in Jerusalem and Jaffa. The central Israeli Arab assembly is to be held at Deir Hanna.

1 John 2:16

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. (emphasis added)

G2889   κόσμος kosmos;   a prim. word; order, the world: – adornment (1), world (184), world’s (1).

With so many things going on in the Middle East this is something that is a “MUST READ” for every true Believer/Disciple in Jesus Christ!

Matthew 10:32-33 “Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. “But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.

In reading through the scriptures this morning I found something very interesting, having to do with the word “deny” in the above verses.
These two verses are tucked away in the middle of a long “command” given by Jesus to His 12 “disciples” (and that is a very important word in light of the last commandment given in this gospel, MATTHEW 28: 19-20).

Matthew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing (G3853) them: “Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans; (emphasis added)

The word “instructing”, in this writer’s opinion, is a rather weak translation when you look at the Greek;

G3853 παραγγέλλω paraggellō  par-ang-gel’-lo

From G3844 and the base of G32; to transmit a message, that is, (by implication) to enjoin: – (give in) charge, (give) command (-ment), declare.

I say that because of another Greek word that was used for “commanded” in MATTHEW 28:20 (if you don’t know this verse by heart you should read it);

G1781 ἐντέλλομαι entellomai  en-tel’-lom-ahee

From G1722 and the base of G5056; to enjoin: – (give) charge, (give) command(-ments), injoin.

Now, what I get out of this is, all of the things Jesus “commanded” the 12 disciples to do as they were “sent out” (MATTHEW 10) – He commanded ALL of His disciples (present & future)(MATTHEW 28:19-20) to “teach” others to “observe G5083” (another very interesting Greek word) all that I “commanded” you;

G5083 τηρέω tēreō  tay-reh’-o

From τηρός teros (a watch; perhaps akin to G2334); to guard (from loss or injury,
properly by keeping the eye upon; and thus differing from G5442, which is properly to prevent escaping; and from G2892, which implies a fortress or full military lines of apparatus), that is, to note (a prophecy; figuratively to fulfil a command); by implication to detain (in custody; figuratively to maintain); by extension to withhold (for personal ends; figuratively to keep unmarried): – hold fast, keep (-er), (ob-, pre-, re) serve, watch. (Emphasis added)

To sum all of this up, and, to tie in the title of this post ARE WE LIVING IN DENIAL ABOUT DENIAL…..I can’t help but wonder what part of “commanded” we misunderstand. If Jesus said that He would deny us before the Father if we didn’t follow His “commands”, I would think He really means what He says. He “commanded” His “disciples” (all of them present & future) to do something……and then reassured them that HE would be a constant, watchful GUARD over them as they did it. I am wondering if we really are in “denial” about all of this…..including verse 10:33! Maybe a better title would be ARE WE LIVING IN
DENIAL ABOUT DENYING HIM BEFORE MEN!

With so many things taking place in the Middle East, all at once it seems, it’s really becoming quite ominous & exciting. I had a nice long flight last week to meet Darcie in Albuquerque, NM and it gave me several hours to read through the latest issue of Zion’s Fire. One article was especially encouraging entitled “After the Tribulation of Those Days” by Marvin Rosenthal, CLICK HERE to read the article for yourself if you so desire……..you will have to increase your browser zoom to read it.

I believe the highlight of the article (for me) was the Greek word paralambano. The word implies to take someone with you.

G3880

παραλαμβάνω

paralambanō

par-al-am-ban’-o

From G3844 and G2983; to receive near, that is, associate with oneself (in any familiar or intimate act or relation); by analogy to assume an office; figuratively to learn: – receive, take (unto, with).

Marvin summarizes the article in the last few paragraphs as follows;

“In Matthew Chapter 24, the Lord gave an admonition: “Now learn a parable of the fig tree.”

In Matthew Chapter 24, the Lord sounded a warning: “But as the days of Noe
were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”

In Matthew Chapter 24, the Lord cited a danger: “Then shall two be in the
field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”

As stated above, paralambano implies to take someone to be with you and, therefore, here in Matthew 24:40-41 points to salvation rather than the destruction of the one taken.

Matthew 24:40-41 “Then there will be two men in the field; one will be
taken and one will be left.  ”Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left.

I would encourage you to read the whole article then discern the times as Jesus instructed.

Genesis 12:1-3 Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father’s house, To the land which I will show you; And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; And I will bless those who bless
you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.” (emphasis added)

You have by now probably seen this portion of scripture used in many different ways to point out the importance of “blessing” Israel, but in light of the extreme geopolitical rhetoric being bantered about I believe we need to take a good look at the real thrust behind these few verses.

Last week I laid out a very clear picture of the “spirit”behind Islam, if you did not read it what I am going to lay out now will probably not make much sense. Prophetically, scripture dictates that there will be an Antichrist, and that Antichrist will be worshipped by the whole unbelieving world. It is also a scriptural fact that the spirit of antichrist is already well at work in guiding this unbelieving world into a collision course with the one true God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. We know the outcome of this “collision”, and the leaders of the “nations” that will follow theguidance of this antichrist spirit are becoming very clear……if you have the “spiritual” eyes to see them.

Most of the world is looking at the leadership of the nations through socio-economic-political eyes. They are rooting for the ones that will bring them “earthly” peace and safety. But, if you pay close attention to “who” is speaking to Abram in the above scriptures…….and “who” is going to do the blessing and cursing……you can clearly see that if you are listening to the wrong spiritual guidance you, and your nation, will be in some serious trouble at the “collision”.

Now, if you apply this “blessing & cursing” principle to the leadership of our nation……and are truthful with yourself in the assessment of “which guiding spirit” is being listened to………I believe we can pre-determine where we (as a nation) will be as we head toward the “collision”. Also, there is a false, apostate church that is trying to obtain the earthly “peace & safety” through pseudo-Christian means…..both of these will be cursed by the One who does the cursing.

So, where does that leave the ones who are listening to the true “Spirit’s” guidance………and what should we be about doing as we inch closer to this collision. We do what we have been told to do…….from a mountain in Galilee……….long ago;

Matthew 28:16-20 But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated.  When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful. And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. ”Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Act 1:7-11 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority; but you will receive power when the
Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem,
and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.” And
after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on,
and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And as they were gazing intently
into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside
them. They also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the
sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just
the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”

After the “collision”….there will be a nation called Israel……and there will be Jesus who will return to Mt. Zion in Jerusalem…….and He will rule over the nations of the world with Righteous justice…..and bring genuine “peace & safety”. And, He will have a people that He will “bless” with the true blessings……..and curse no more!

In the light of what is currently happening in the MIDDLE EAST, and what is biblically foretold to increase in severity, I felt it necessary to share the following excerpts on EXCLUSIVITY.

Sura 4.171 O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not “Three” – Cease! (it is) better for you! – Allah is only One God. Far is it removed from His Transcendent Majesty that He should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender. Based on the Meaning of the Glorious Quran by Mohammed Marmaduke Pickthall.

Matthew 10:32-33 “Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven.  ”But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.

1 John 2:22-23 Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.  Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.

Now, as you can clearly see from these two “Holy Book” excerpts that we have a major problem………two different deities claiming that they are the only true way. The reason this is a major problem is because of the way the apostate church is trying to convince the world that the two deities are really one in the same.
Here is just one excerpt from an article on Sola Sisters blogspot;

Does Rick Warren Still Get Dr. John Piper’s “Stamp of Approval?”

But now there is a new issue. According to Erin Benziger’s recent article “Historic Interfaith Document” was “One Year in the Making,” Rick
Warren’s Saddleback Church has been working on co-authoring a Muslim-Christian interfaith document (“King’s Way”) with the Islamic Center of Southern California (ICSC). According to Benziger’s article, this document has been “one year in the making,” and openly states that “The first step in the plan identifies the belief in one God.” So now I’m wondering what John Piper thinks about this Muslim-Christian interfaith document being drafted by his friend, Rick Warren?

This is really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the major deceptions being carried out by the spirit of antichrist for the express purpose of a one world religion that will one day worship the Antichrist & the beast. This is being accomplished by the spirits of fear and intimidation upon those who do not know what they believe or why they believe it…..or to put it bluntly…….not really born again (or Born of the Spirit).

John 3:3-8 Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus *said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?”  Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.  ”That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.” Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’  ”The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

In conclusion, it is my belief that each of us who call ourselves Christians will very soon have to choose which “church” we are going to be a part of………the apostate church………or the one Jesus is building.

Matthew 16:18 “I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.

And what was the rock??????????

Matthew 16:15-16 He *said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

It’s all in your personal “EXCLUSIVITY” confession!

Are you really born again or just “culturally saved”?

One more question we have to ask ourselves………..since our current president is a self-confessed Muslim we pretty much know what spirit he is being directed by as we look at the “Holy Book” quotes above…………but how about the apparent front-runner challenger who is a self-confessed Mormon……in Mormonism, Jesus is Satan’s brother……do you know that they both are being directed by the same spirit of antichrist……just different expressions of the same “one world religion” coming to a world near you!
