I was reading a paper, that some Bishop wrote regarding the Doctrines of the Bible. Well, he starts out saying that the Word of God never changes, and it will last forever. However, he goes on to put his interpretation of what is truth in the Bible. When he starts out talking about the history of Israel, he does not call them Israelites, but a Jewish Nation which is an error because Jews are only one tribe in the Nation of Israel. Jews are the children of Judah the fourth son of Jacob, Genesis 29:31-35.
He writes as though the Lord has cast Israel away, but the Lord has not cast His people (Israel ) away, Romans 11:1-2. He also states in his commentary that the church was started on the day of Pentecost, by the Apostle Peter, when in all actuality the church started in the wilderness, Exodus 19:1-6 and Acts 7:37-38.
Stephen tells us that Moses was in the Church in the wilderness. So, if Moses was in the Church in the wilderness, what church is this that was started by Peter in Acts 2?
He also stated that Isaiah did not know God’s name, however if you read Isaiah 12:2 you will find that is not so.
He also attempts to write about sin. I ask you this question. What is sin? He talks about sin but never states what SIN is. For the biblical definition please read 1 John 3:4; Deuteronomy 8:3, and Luke 4:4. Here we read that sin is the transgression of the Law and the Law is every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord.
I detect that they do not understand about the Holy Ghost, nor do they have an understanding of the Holy (The Godhead). It is a shame that they do not understand that there is man’s kingdom, the Son’s Kingdom, and the Father’s Kingdom.
Then there is the Rapture, where Jesus is "coming to take His Church away". I was ready to ask where was He taking His Church, then I read in the commentary that He was taking His Church to Heaven. Now, this is what they write and teach. However, according to Scripture, you can not find anywhere in the Holy Scriptures that states that you are going to Heaven, for Jesus said in John 3:13, that “no man has ascended to heaven. He also said, “Where He is you can not come, John 7:33-34; John 8:21, and John 13:33. So, if you can not go to Heaven, where will Jesus take His Church?
This commentary is full of errors which cannot be proven according to the Holy Scriptures. There is one thing about writing something down: it is there to be read and scrutinized. So when you make statements such as “going to Heaven”, you must defend that doctrine. Like the “Rapture”, a word that is not mentioned anywhere in the Scriptures of Truth, yet they defend it vigorously: For they speak doctrines of Devils, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron”, 1 Timothy 4:1-2.
When they speak of the Lord coming for His Church, is it before or after the Great Tribulation? I have heard conflicting reports on the so-called “Rapture”, some say before others, now, say after. If you want to know who wants to go to Heaven read Isaiah 14:12-14.
As for the Lord’s Congregation (Church), this is what He called the children of Israel, Exodus 12:1-3. The Lord is the God of Israel, Ezekiel 44:2. Israel is the Church (Congregation) and not that “church” that they say started on the Day of Pentecost in the second chapter of Acts. God’s Church has been in existence since Israel became a nation. The “Church” that they belong to, that started on the Day of Pentecost is the same one in Revelation 17:1-5.
Peace,
Bro Tyrone

THE DEVIL DECEIVETH THE WHOLE WORLD
I have been sitting here thinking, “What should I write about”, when I asked the Lord to show me, for there are many Scriptures and subjects in the Holy Bible (KJV), those who are seeking the truth; that much we all know. The whole world is out of course, the economy is bad all over the earth.
There is violence, and wars, famine and earthquakes all over the planet and the people don’t consider what is going on. They hear that we are in the “last days”, but do not consider that all this was foretold by the Prophets and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Matthew 24:1-8.
So who is warning the People today that these are the “last days”, and informing them of who is causing all this chaos, and weakening the nations.
Well, let’s take a look at who is running the kingdoms of this world. Turn to Luke 4:5-7. Here we read where the Devil is talking to Jesus and showing Him all the Kingdoms of the world in a moment of time; telling Him that they were delivered to him, and that if Jesus would bow down and worship him he would give all this power to Jesus.
Now think about what you have just read, the Devil says, “all the kingdoms are his“, and that he is worshiped by those to whom he gives this power to. Now, if he asked the Lord to worship him, while He was in the flesh; what about the rest of us?
He deceives the whole world; as stated in Revelation 12:9. Thank about it, how does he deceive the whole world? Which means me, you and everyone else has been deceived at some point for the Scriptures did not say he deceived some of the world, or part of the world, but the whole world. Now, just think, how is it that he deceives the whole world? He does it through spiritual wickedness in high places, Ephesians 6:11-12, which is the church. For Jesus said to the chief Priest and captains of the temple when they came to arrest Him in the garden, that this was their hour and the power of darkness, Luke 22:52-53.
Did you notice that it was the church people who came to arrest Jesus? They did the bidding of their “father” the Devil, as Jesus had told them in John 8:37-44. So, you see, spiritual wickedness is in the pulpits of the church, which is the highest place on the Earth. The men in the positions of feeding the flock teach them the lies of the Devil, they teach lies to deceive the people into worshiping another Jesus, 2 Corinthians 11:4, yes, another Jesus. Yes, I said another Jesus, for the Devil passes himself off as an angel of light (Truth), 2 Corinthians 11:13-15. His ministers transform themselves into the Apostles of Christ, ministers of righteousness.
The Devil has said he wants to be like the Most High; that he will ascend into Heaven and reign over the stars (Angels) of God. He also said that he will sit in the mount of the congregation in the sides of the North, Isaiah 14:12-14. So, here we read that Satan the Devil (Lucifer), wants to reign in Heaven and over the congregation on the Earth, because the sides of the North is the city (Jerusalem) of the Great King. Satan says that he will have his throne in Jerusalem, the city of David, whose throne Jesus will sit on, Psalms 48:1-2. Satan also thinks to change times and laws through his religious leaders, Daniel 7:25.
The time that he thought to change was when the day begins and ends: 12:00 am – 11:59 pm. Do you notice that if you are outside at midnight when the new day starts there is no change, it is still dark. The Lord said in the beginning—the evening and morning were the first day, Genesis 1:1-5. As you can see God set forth a difference in the change of the day—when it gets dark it is the beginning of a new day, not when it gets light.
So you see the man of perdition, the Antichrist, the Devil’s servant not only thinks to change time, he also thinks to change laws. The Devil wants to be worshiped, so he set up his Sabbaths, one of them being the first day of the week, Sunday. He says that the Sabbath was changed from the seventh day, Saturday, to Sunday, the first day of the week.
You can read how it was changed in 321 AD by Emperor Constantine, so that now the majority of Christendom goes to church on Sunday. All this is recorded in various History books. The other Laws that he tried to change are the Dietary Law, Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14, the Lord’s Feast Days, Leviticus 23. Modern day Christendom says that these Laws do not have to be observed anymore. Furthermore, his minister’s teach that you don’t have to be circumcised anymore.
When the Lord made the covenant with Abraham the circumcision was/is the sign for Abraham’s seed and for, ”…the stranger that would sojourn among you—it is an everlasting covenant”, Genesis 17:9-14. I ask you this: “Who can change God’s Word (Law), if He says it is an everlasting covenant?” You see the Devil deceived the world into going to church on the first day and not having to be circumcised. If you are not circumcised you can not partake in the Passover, which occurs in its season (fourteenth day of the first month at evening, Leviticus 23:5.
Exodus 12:43, 47-49, gives us the Ordinance of the Passover. Jesus is become our Passover, 1Corinthians 5:7 when He was sacrificed for us. So, if you are not circumcised you cannot partake of the Passover—Jesus.
However, the Ministers of the god of this world say you do not have to be circumcised anymore. As a matter of fact, they call the Passover Communion and do it at least once a month instead of “once a year in its season”. The Ministers of the god of this world put their own traditions before God’s Word.
Let’s take look at another deception that the god of this world has used to deceive the people through his Ministers to get people to bow down and to worship him. Turn to Jeremiah 10:1-5, 8, here we read that the Lord is telling Israel not to put up the “Christmas tree” for it is a doctrine of vanities.
Now, most people don’t give any consideration that they are bringing an idol into their home each year, Deuteronomy 4: 25-26, decking it with silver and gold color ornaments and putting presents under the tree. Now think about this, you get down on your knees in front of the tree, and yet you say that you don’t bow down to it. However, you are on your knees celebrating your god’s birthday—December 25th—because Jesus Christ was not born in December, but in late August or early September, because Jesus was 33 ½ years old when He was crucified on the Passover, which occurs in late march or early April, so count back six months and you come up with September or August.
Another way is history tells us that Caesar Augustus made a decree that everyone had to be taxed and this was done in August or September of 4 BC. But all this is really irrelevant, because nowhere in the Scriptures does it state we are to keep the Lord’s birthday or celebrate His birthday.
However, the Ministers of this age teach that we should celebrate Christmas. They also put forth the desires of their “god”, who wants to go to heaven and take everyone with him, Isaiah 14:12-14. You hear it every time you go to a funeral. The spiel is, “They are not dead, but gone to their tabernacle in heaven and they are looking down on their loved ones”.
This is a lie that is being preached, but it is the same lie that was told in the beginning when the Serpent (Satan) told Eve, “You shall not die”, Genesis 3:4. So when the Preacher says that the deceased “Are gone home to Heaven” or “Made their transition/homecoming”, it is a lie! Your home is not in Heaven, but it is in the Earth, for the first man Adam was made a living soul, from the dust of the ground, 1 Corinthians 15:45, 47. So, our father, Adam, came from the ground, Genesis 2:7, verily when man dies, he returns to the ground from whence we came, Genesis 3:19.
The Devil wants to return to Heaven, because that is where he came from, Revelation12:7-9. The Scriptures say, “No man has ascended into Heaven”, John 3:13. This is part of the lie that his Ministers teach, namely, that when you die you are going to Heaven.
Another deception that his Ministers teach is that Jesus died on “Good Friday” and rose on “Easter Sunday morning”. This is one of the greatest lies ever told, because the Scriptures tell a different story. Jesus said He would be in the grave for three days and three nights, Matthew 12:39-40.
However, according to Daniel 9:26-27, “The Messiah was cut off in the middle of the week”. The middle of the week is the fourth day—Wednesday. If He was in the heart of the Earth for three days and three nights, He was in the grave Wednesday night; Thursday night; Friday night, which makes three nights. He was in the grave Thursday during the day, Friday during the day and Saturday during the day which equals three days, just as Jesus said in Matthew 12:39-40.
Yet, the Devil’s Ministers call Jesus a lie and say, “He died on Friday and rose Sunday morning (Easter Sunday) and have you come worship on Sunday at sunrise”, when in actuality you are being deceived by the Devil and his Ministers who have you worshiping the sun, because when Mary came to the sepulchre on the first day of the week while it was still dark, and Jesus was gone, for He had risen, John 20:1; Matthew 28:1-6, He rose at the end of the Sabbath day. Also, Jesus said to remember His death, not His resurrection, Luke 22:19-20, which we are to do every year at Passover, not Easter, nor the first Sunday of every month. So, are you beginning to see how the Devil deceives the whole world? He does it by way of religion.
Let us continue to another deception. How about the three wise men, where did they get that from? The Scriptures just say wise men came to Jerusalem, Matthew 2:1. So I ask you how did they come up with three? Perhaps it was because of the gifts!
Another lie they put forth is that the Church started on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2nd chapter. However if you read carefully you will see that on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-12) you will notice that there were only “Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven”, because the Lord had scattered Israel all over the Earth, for not keeping His commandments. These men knew who they were and came to keep Pentecost, as the Lord had commanded, Leviticus 23:15-16, 21.
They were not down in Jerusalem tarrying for the Holy Ghost, as the “god” of this world’s Ministers, but were keeping the Feast of Weeks/Pentecost, Exodus 34:22. Pentecost means fifty.
There were no Gentiles or anyone from another nation there when the Lord sent His Angels to translate the words that the Apostles were speaking. They have taken this, also, and turned it into a sign that you have to speak in tongues. You can see that the people like what the so-called Preachers teach, because they do not have to obey the Word of God. They say to their Ministers/Preachers, “Speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits”, Isaiah 30:9-10. They want to hear fables, Santa Claus is coming to town, or Here comes Peter Cottontail hopping down the bunny trail, or going to Heaven and let us not forget, the Lord loves everyone, 2Timothy4:3-4.
Another deception that is taught as doctrine is the Great Tribulation will be for seven years. They go to Daniel 9:27 to try to prove this errant statement. They use the ninth chapter of Daniel to say “the Antichrist will confirm the covenant with many for one week”, however, this is not talking about the Antichrist, it is speaking of the Lord. What I do not understand is how people don’t know the difference between confirm and make. The Great Tribulation will only be three and one half years, not seven. All this is written in the Scriptures of truth, Daniel 10:21.
Another doctrine is taught by Satan’s Ministers is what is called the Rapture. Here they really confuse the people, they teach that the Lord is coming to get His Church before the Tribulation but the Scriptures say the Son of Man is coming after the Tribulation, Matthew 24:29-30. We have a Post on most of these subjects, which goes into detail about such things as the Rapture.
One of the best taught false doctrines is the Trinity, “God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost”. Nowhere in the Scriptures can you find “God the Holy Ghost”, yet his (Satan’s) Ministers go to 1 John 5:7, to justify the Trinity, however, that is not what 1 John 5:7 is saying. It speaks of the Father; the Word (Son) and the Holy Ghost (Angel), that bare record in Heaven. You can see this clearly in Revelation 1:1. Here we see the three that bare record in Heaven: The Father gave the record to Jesus, Jesus gave record to His Angel whom He sent to give it to John, in the earth. But most people don’t want to see the truth.
They love to drink from the cup that is in the woman’s hand in Revelation 17:1-5; full of abominations. Since they do not want to hear the truth, God will send them a strong delusion that they should believe a lie, 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12. The Bible says “For if our Gospel is hid from them that are lost, for the god of this world has blinded them which believe not the truth”, 2 Corinthians 4:1-4.
If you think that your Pastor is teaching the truth, then, ask him to explain Matthew 24:15, if he can! If your Pastor is a “New Testament Preacher”, he doesn’t know what was spoken of by Daniel. It is evident that people do not know that the Lord said to “come out” of the false church and be not partakers in her sins that you receive not her plagues, Revelation 18:3-5.
“For they have transgressed the laws; changed the ordinance; broken the everlasting covenant”, Isaiah 24:5. And “speak not according to the Law (Old Testament) and the Testimony (New Testament) because there is no light in them”, Isaiah 8:20. So now, I pray that you can see some of the deception that the Devil puts forth. If what you are being taught is not in the Scriptures of Truth, put no stock in it!
There is violence, and wars, famine and earthquakes all over the planet and the people don’t consider what is going on. They hear that we are in the “last days”, but do not consider that all this was foretold by the Prophets and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Matthew 24:1-8.
So who is warning the People today that these are the “last days”, and informing them of who is causing all this chaos, and weakening the nations.

Now think about what you have just read, the Devil says, “all the kingdoms are his“, and that he is worshiped by those to whom he gives this power to. Now, if he asked the Lord to worship him, while He was in the flesh; what about the rest of us?

The Devil has said he wants to be like the Most High; that he will ascend into Heaven and reign over the stars (Angels) of God. He also said that he will sit in the mount of the congregation in the sides of the North, Isaiah 14:12-14. So, here we read that Satan the Devil (Lucifer), wants to reign in Heaven and over the congregation on the Earth, because the sides of the North is the city (Jerusalem) of the Great King. Satan says that he will have his throne in Jerusalem, the city of David, whose throne Jesus will sit on, Psalms 48:1-2. Satan also thinks to change times and laws through his religious leaders, Daniel 7:25.

Dear John,
Dear John,
You have been teaching the “Rapture”, and that the Lord will come and remove His church before the Great Tribulation. Why do the scriptures say otherwise?
In Revelation 6:1-8, when John saw the four horsemen bringing oppression, famine, war, and death, however, the church is still here, and has not been “raptured”.
If you have any understanding, you know that the opening of the seven seals is the beginning of the great tribulation. Let’s take a look at the other three seals. We see the saints that are asleep asking, how long before they are avenged, in Revelation 6: 9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Where is the church when the sixth seal is opened? It is the sign of the beginning of the end of great tribulation, Revelation 6: 12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. --These signs happen just before Jesus' return--15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:--The wrath of the Lamb? Not Sweet little Jesus boy? No, the Lion of the tribe of Judah!--17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Matthew 24:29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 "And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. You‘re not gone yet.
We see the Heaven rolled back as a scroll, Isaiah spoke of this same time, Isaiah 13: 6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. 7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt: 8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. 9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. 10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. 11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible, Joel also spoke of this same time, Joel 2: 10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:, 3:1 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.; 3: 15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
Also you must have noticed by now there is no mention of any trumpet sounding so where is the church—the one waiting on the “rapture” when the last trumpet is blown.
Let’s take a look at Matthew 24: 1-22, Jesus’ disciples asked Him what would be the sign of His coming, He answered them many things. “Let no man deceive you, was the first thing that He said. But, take a look at verses “15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.” If the Lord has raptured all the righteous (alive and dead), why would He worry about no flesh being saved--they are all sinful unrepentent individuals anyway?
Jesus tells us when great tribulation begins and when the Lord’s servants are to flee into the secret place—when the man of sin stands in the Holy place—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; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.—Daniel 11: 31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate., when the man of sin is revealed. As you see no one has left the earth.
Let’s look at the seventh seal, Revelation 8:1-2, 6, we can see there, seven angels are given seven trumpets and they prepare to sound, at this same time there are seven angels given seven golden vials, full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever, Revelation 15:1, 5-7.
As we keep reading, have you noticed that no one has been raptured; that Jesus has not come yet? Now, let us reason together and continue reading the scriptures. For Isaiah 28 : 9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little—tells us how we are taught knowledge—here a little, there a little, so let’s do what the Lord says.
Back to the Angel’s sounding of the first trumpet, Revelation 8: 7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up; now turn to Revelation 16: 1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. 2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.”, we see that the Angels with the seven vials pour them out as the trumpets are sounded. The second trumpet is sounded Revelation8: 8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
Revelation 16 3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
The third Angel sounds his trumpet in Revelation 8: 10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter;
In Revelation 16: 4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. 6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. 7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments;
Revelation
Revelation 8: 13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound! As you can see still no “rapture” has occurred, and “you ain’t gone yet”.
Revelation 9:1-12, tells us of war on the Earth when the fifth Angel sounds his trumpet, the Angel with the fifth vial pours out his vial on the seat of the beast and his kingdom, Revelation 16: 10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
Turn to Revelation 11: 15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. 16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, 17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. 18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. The seventh Angel sounded his trumpet and the Angel poured out his vial into the air; the kingdom of man is now going to be ruled by Jesus Christ for a thousand years.
In Revelation 16: 17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. Still no one has left nor been “raptured” off the Earth.
These trumpets announce the coming of the King; other scriptures tell of other events that are also happening at the seventh and last trumpet—1 Corinthians 15: 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 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;
1 Thessalonians
However, God’s elect have foreknowledge and know where the secret place is and when to flee; they are not waiting for “the rapture”.
John 4: 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

ISRAEL, The Woman In Revelation Chapter Twelve
Update: 7/31/08 Post Continued
Now here we see that the church in Luke 4:13-16, is still the same church that Moses was in, in the wilderness. What most people do not know is that the LORD was also in that church, and walked among the congregation of Israel, Deuteronomy 23:12-14, Leviticus 26:11-12.
And when the Lord came in the flesh, He came as an Israelite (Jew) and walked among the Jews (Israelites). He came to teach the children of Israel, only. In Matthew 15:21-28 Jesus tells the woman that He is sent unto the lost sheep of Israel, only. The Lord first has to gather and teach His people, before He gathers the rest of the children of Adam. The Israelites are to teach all the son's of Adam about God. That is why He told His disciples in Matthew 10:1, 5-6, "Go not in the way of the Gentiles, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. He first must gather and teach and judge the House of Israel, which is the house of God, 1 Peter 4:17.
So, if you want salvation you have to become a part of Israel, because Israel is the church, Ephesians 2:11-13, 18-20. You must become a part of the Commonwealth of Israel. The foundation is built upon the Apostles and Prophets, with Jesus Christ being the Chief Cornerstone.
The true church keeps the Lord's Sabbaths; seventh day of the week; all of the Sabbath days (feasts) listed in Leviticus 23; also, keeps the dietary laws listed in Deuteronomy 14 and Leviticus 11. His church keeps His commandments, in fact, they keep the law, which is every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord, Deuteronomy 8:3; Matthew 4:4.
Lastly, even when you reach the last book of the Bible, you see that Holy City, the Father's Kingdom, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven having twelve gates with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one written on each gate, Revelation 21:2, 10-12. So, you must be a part of Israel to live in this City.
Just a word of caution before you think or speak those suicidal words, "Jesus did away with the law" or "That was the Old Covenant, we are under the New Covenant" please, please, pay close attention when you read Leviticus 23, the Lord tells us to observe His feasts for ever!!
I will be posting more on the church in the future, however, you can join us at:

ISRAEL, The Woman In Revelation Chapter Twelve
Jesus told the woman that salvation was of the Jews, (Israelites).
Now, ask yourself, of all the different religions why none of them ever speak of the Lord's congregation? You know, the one where the Lord spoke to Moses saying, "Speak to the congregation of Israel; Exodus 12:3. As you can see the LORD called Israel His congregation, (church). Some people say the church started on Pentecost; Acts 2nd chapter, after Jesus' resurrection.
However, this is not so. The Jews (Israelites) were keeping the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost), as they had been doing since they were in the wilderness, after coming out of Egypt; Leviticus 23:15-21. Also, If you read very carefully, you will notice that there were only Jews (Israelites) at the feast spoken of in the second chapter of Acts.
Now turn to Acts 7:31-38. We read where Moses was in the church in the wilderness. So, now we can see that the churh did not start on Pentecost, right?
If Moses was in the church in the wilderness, Israel must be the church? If Israel is the church in the Old Testament, the who is the church in the New Testament? Where is the true church today? When Jesus came down out of the mountains after forty (40) days, He started teaching the people. "He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, (seventh day of the week), as His custom was".
Now here we see that the church in Luke 4:13-16, is still the same church that Moses was in, in the wilderness. What most people do not know is that the LORD was also in that church, and walked among the congregation of Israel.

ISRAEL, The Woman In Revelation Chapter Twelve
Part Three
When I last posted I was talking about the woman in the twelfth chapter of Revelation, which is the nation of Israel. Israel is the Lord’s Church and Jesus will become King of Israel as He was before (Luke 1:26-33). Jesus will sit on David’s throne and reign over the house of Jacob (Israel) for ever. For the Lord gave all His laws and statutes to Israel (Jews) and the promises, Romans 9:1-5.
God gave the job of teaching the rest of the sons of Adam about Him to the Israelites. Turn to Deuteronomy 7:6, Exodus 19:5-6. We see that the Lord told Israel: “If you obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a peculiar treasure to Me, and be above all people, and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests, an holy nation".
So, you see Israel is called to be the priest to the rest of the sons of Adam. He gave no other nation His commandments; He only spoke to Israel. Psalms 147:19-20, tells us that He showed His word and His statutes to Israel (Jacob) and that He had not done so with any other nation.
Turn to Amos 3:1-2, which tells us that the Lord told Israel the whole family that He brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, “You only have I known of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities, because I raised up your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites".
So, as you can see Israel was given the word that they would teach God’s Word to the rest of the families of the earth. No one ever pays attention to what Jesus told the woman at the well:
John 9:
22Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

ISRAEL, The Woman In Revelation Chapter Twelve
Part Two
Now, let us take a close look at this “Queen of Heaven”, that people say is Mary and let’s see how long she has been around, turn to Jeremiah 7:18.
We see the children of Israel making cakes and pouring out drink offerings to the “Queen of Heaven". This was done in the days of Jeremiah. So you can see that the “Queen of Heaven” has been around even before Mary was born.
They say that Mary is in heaven, but the Scriptures say different. Turn to John 3:13, Jesus said no man has ascended up to Heaven, but He who came down from Heaven. Jesus also told us that where He is we can not come; John 7:33-34; also in John 8:21; John 13:33, that we could not go to where He is.
Now turn back to Revelation 12:6, 13-17; we see that the woman did not go to Heaven but fled into the wilderness for three and a half years. This is because she is the church, the congregation of all the children of Israel; Exodus 16:1. For Moses was in that church that was in the wilderness; Acts 7:38.
This woman that fled into the wilderness is fleeing from Great Tribulation, which has not happened yet so this is prophecy which is speaking of future events. The same events which Daniel spoke of in Daniel 12:1 and that Jesus talked about in Matthew 24:15-22. This woman is the Lord’s Church, also called the twelve tribes of Israel.
This woman that fled into the wilderness, are those that have the knowledge of what to do when the Great Tribulation comes, and those of her seed that are left behind were only lukewarm, at that time; Revelation 12:17. "These are they that keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus", whom the Dragon turns on to make war "on the remnant of her seed".
Let’s continue on about who this woman is. We know from reading Genesis 37:9-10, that this is the family of Israel. Israel gave birth to a Son, who was to rule all nations, with a rod of iron; Revelation 12:5. Even before that happened the Lord said, “My mother’s children were angry with Me”; Song of SongSolomon 1:6, “they made Me the keeper of the vineyards. But My own vineyard have I not kept”. So, here we see the Lord calling His mother a vineyard.
Let’s take a look at this vineyard that is the Lord’s. Turn to Isaiah 5:1-7, we see that the Lord’s vineyard is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah His pleasant plant. We now know who His mother’s children are, they are Israel, also, let us not forget that Jesus is an Israelite.
Turn back to Revelation 12:17, if this woman is Mary who is the remnant of her seed? Let’s take a look at some of this woman’s children, in Isaiah 66:5-8. We read where the woman brought forth not only a man child but a whole nation in one day. This will happen when Jesus returns and gathers the remnant of the woman’s seed out of all nations; Jeremiah 23:2-3, 8 and Jeremiah 29:14.
We can see that the woman is the Church (Israel) and that Jesus is the Head of the Church; Ephesians 5:23. Turn to Luke 1:26-33, we read where Mary is told that she shall have a Son and He would reign over the House of Jacob (Israel), for ever, this is the Church. So, with just a few scriptures I pray that you see that the woman in Revelation 12:1-2, is the Nation of Israel; the congregation of the Lord, and not Mary. The woman in Revelation 12 is also called the Lord’s Bride/Wife.
I ask once again: If this woman in Revelation 12, who christendom says is Mary, (but is the Lord’s Church), who is the woman in Revelation 17:1-6?
Surely someone can tell me this, one of you who says that the woman in Revelation 12 is Mary.
We see the children of Israel making cakes and pouring out drink offerings to the “Queen of Heaven". This was done in the days of Jeremiah. So you can see that the “Queen of Heaven” has been around even before Mary was born.
They say that Mary is in heaven, but the Scriptures say different. Turn to John 3:13, Jesus said no man has ascended up to Heaven, but He who came down from Heaven. Jesus also told us that where He is we can not come; John 7:33-34; also in John 8:21; John 13:33, that we could not go to where He is.
Now turn back to Revelation 12:6, 13-17; we see that the woman did not go to Heaven but fled into the wilderness for three and a half years. This is because she is the church, the congregation of all the children of Israel; Exodus 16:1. For Moses was in that church that was in the wilderness; Acts 7:38.
