Just one question: If, if this is true then why do our politicians and those who do their bidding in the media possess the spirit of antichrist—an anti-Christian spirit that treats others with such hostility, disrespect and mean-spirited? Why is the state of our country so godless and in an advanced state of decay and decline? Something is grossly immoral and amiss! hr
Consider this from 3 of our founding fathers:
  1. Benjamin Franklin - Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants.
  2. Jedidiah Morse - Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government - and all blessings which flow from them - must fall with them.
  3. John Adams - Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

This may help to answer some of your questions as to our current national state of affairs. The honest student of history knows this to be true. Also read:

"These Are The Times" — "And We Need God"
Matthew 24:7-13; 2 Corinthians 1:8-24
  1. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.- Matthew 24:7
  2. But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead. 2 Corinthians 1:9
I wrote this article in June prior to the 2020 national Presidential election. It is noteworthy to repost it because America's greatest fears have now been realized. A subversive element festering for over 100 years has finally seized her reigns and future and is rapidly establishing itself as the "legitimate" government and silencing those in opposition. What's worse is they are normalizing their ideology as authentic and demonizing those who hold to the Constitution and nationalistic Judeo-Christian culture and tradition. In other words, up is down and down is now up. Right in now wrong and wrong has become right. And they control every branch and institution of government. As a consequence true Americans have no place to turn for redress of their ever-increasing persecution. As of this writing, it is now eight months following that fraudulent seizure. Through the vehicle of medical tyranny, we are witnessing the fall of a nation, likely, faster than any in history. A nation that once was great has now been infiltrated by those actively rendering her powerless to those who plot her permanent demise. Americans have not only lost their constitutional rights but are being divided against each other and enslaved to a global power. Biblical end-time prophecy is being fulfilled right before our eyes. Washington, being a student of the Bible, likely envisioned this day as he was fighting for her independence from the tyrants of his time.

Society Without A Church General George Washington was so inspired by Thomas Paine's first essay, "The Crisis", he had his entire army read it. Paine's words were inspirational to Washington and his men during the first bleak winter of the revolutionary war. The British had just marched through New Jersey and New York and the Continental army was facing complete defeat. It has since inspired many. It is worthy of revisiting during a bleak time once again in our national history.

"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated"
- Thomas Paine, The Crisis

Although there have been other times in my life Paine's quote—these are the times that try men's souls—has been applicable, I can say without question his famous saying has never been so in our world than today. In many of those times of the past, it was the balance of power in the world that was at stake. In our time, the very existence of humankind is at peril. You ask, "What is that threat?" It is two-fold.

Book: Adam2

Guide For The Walk Home

The following is taken from the Book, Adam2: A Guide For The Walk Home, written by our founder. It is A Commentary On The Gospel Of John, complete with a background look at the contemporary Jewish groups active in Jesus' day. It includes a summary of each chapter, a redacted study of each disciple, a brief study of Gnosticism of the time, pertinent timelines, and much more. Each chapter of study includes extensive Biblical references to the notes on the chapter.

A chronological excerpt of each section will be posted here at the beginning of each month. You can access free of charge at any time a complete online digital version for your further study. In addition, a link will be provided to purchase the book on CD to install on your own computer for convenience of study and print. All we ask is that you observe the stated copyrights as with any book you buy over the counter, limiting your print to only one hard copy for your own personal use. If further hard copies are necessary, please contact us for an additional nominal fee. Thank you for your interest in this study. Our hope and prayer is that through the work of the Holy Spirit as you study you will be blessed by it, and if so, recommend it to a friend.

This month we will look at the Sadducees from the book: Adam2.


I. MAJOR JEWISH GROUPS IN JESUS' DAY.
C.  SADDUCEES.
  1. Sadducee in Hebrew is, Tzedokim, and in Greek, Saddoukaion, or more commonly, Sadouk, meaning, "just or righteous one." The title, and hence its meaning, is derived from the Hebrew name, Zadok. Young separately identifies nine in the Old Testament, with Zadok, the loyal High Priest in David's time, being the most prominent ( II Sam.8:17; I Ki.1:25-26; 2:26-27,35). Though many scholars believe him to be the one preferred by the Sadducees as the origin of their party, still, some identify a priestly descendant also called Zadok, or Sadok, who appeared ca. 300 B.C., as being the father of their movement. Whichever the case, these followers (and evolving party within the Judean religion) were subsequently called, Zadokites, or Sadokites in Hebrew, or Sadducees in Greek.
  2. Though the origin of the Sadducee is not as clear as that of the Pharisee, they appear on the scene during the 3rd century B.C., and become quite strong prior to the outset of the Maccabaean period (See Appendix, Inter-Testament Timeline), even controlling the Great Assembly, or the then evolved, Council of the Seventy Elders. It must be said that the exact nature of the Great Assembly prior to its evolution into the ruling body of the Seventy Elders is not quite certain. As discussed above under "Pharisees," it is believed to have its roots in the priestly scribes of the Levite tribe returning from the Babylonian captivity, who are seen in Nehemiah reading and teaching the Torah to the congregation, with Ezra himself being their leader (Neh.8). Whether they evolved into a legislative body between their return and the beginning of Greek rule, or simply identified in each of those generations collectively as the Great Assembly (Knesset Gedolah), it is not known; however, to these had been given the responsibility of copying and preserving scripture. As a result of their familiarity with scripture, disputes and perceived contradictions over specific texts were brought to them for their resolution, hence, we can see how their authority began to evolve. (See above discussion on the Scribes.)
  3. As Jewish life in Palestine began to settle into daily routine after the rebuilding of their Temple (515 B.C.), and without the ruling monarchy of the previous Solomonic Temple times (now no longer a nation), the question of what direction, both politically and religiously, the Hebrew people should advance under the then ruling Persian empire became a serious subject of debate. From this debate, differing opinions developed and polarization of views evolved into several distinct groups or sects.

Think On This

State of the Church
State Of The Church

PREFACE
The following is the fourth article to date addressing the changes being seen with alarming detail in modern churches. As with the previous, it is more practical in nature in response to this common dilemma occurring in more and more churches today. The upcoming fifth and final article will deal more with specific facts and provide information as to what is behind this movement of the megachurch, or, what is called by them: the new emerging or emergent church. Another term you hear alternately is the seeker church, or, seeker friendly church.

Having looked at some symptoms and tell-tale signs of a new manifesto being introduced within a growing number of churches spanning across denominational lines, we turn now to more practical matters in general for application. Although not intended, what follows will be controversial. But many who read will find in these words a common thread of what is already being sensed within their own hearts. All I ask is that the reader be open minded and, if haven't already, begin their own search, study and examination of this topic.

The consequences of the magnitude of such a broad scale world-wide implementation of a "new church model" cannot be ignored. It must be examined by the serious Bible student and Christian! It must be looked at in light of Bible prophecy. We must heed the warnings of both Jesus' own words when He walked the earth and those inspired by the Holy Spirit written later for our advantage in alertness of end-time events and trends. Not to do so would be perilous. So, I prayerfully write the following and ask for your prayerful consideration...

Bible Summaries

Proverbs Chapter Summary

The following is taken from the Book of Old Testament Summaries.

Chapter
  1. (595/592 B.C.?) Ezekiel (age 30?) receives visions in captivity in Babylon, by the River Chebar, in the 5th year of king Jehoiachin's captivity, taken in the second group, 597 B.C. Vision of the whirlwind with four creatures, each like a man with four faces: a man, lion, ox, and eagle. They move in unison, without turning—going forward, backwards, and in all directions. Lightning emanates from them. A vision of four wheels under them, moving in unison, with the spirit seen in the wheels. Their wings make sounds as the roar of the sea, or the voice of God. A crystal firmament is seen above their heads, with a throne and a Manpresent in it, a rainbow-like glow, or halo surrounding it. God's glory is evident; Ezekiel falls to the ground face down in awe!
  2. The Voice speaks, commanding Ezekiel to stand. Being lifted by the spirit, he listens. God converses with Ezekiel concerning Israel's continued rebellious nature. He is not to be afraid of them when he prophesies to them, nor is he to be hesitant in speaking. Receives a vision of a scroll written on both sides, displayed before him, containing lamentations, mournings, and woes, with instructions for its eating.
  3. Before speaking its words to Israel, though a stranger will better listen, ordered to eat the scroll in its entirety. Tasted as sweet as honey. He is to receive all God's words to his own heart before speaking them to others. He is given a look of authority to face his audiences. Now lifted up from the Earth by the spirit, upheld by the hand of God, transported to Telabib by Chebar, in the place of a colony's captivity, likely his own, sitting among them astonished for the first seven days. God finally speaks, instructing him to warn the wicked and personally held accountable if he fails. A warning so given to both the wicked and righteous! Now commanded to go into the plain to meet God for further instructions. Sees Him as before, falling to his face, lifted up, receiving orders to be bound for a season for a sign, silent in his own house. His first words given to say when ended: Listen if you will, don't if you won't!
  4. [The following 4 Chapters detail Israel and Jerusalem's condition and judgment.] Instructions for the construction of a tile model of the besiegement of Jerusalem as a sign for their judgment. Instructed to lie on his side as a sign for 390 days (LXX records 190) for Israel's long captivity, the other side 40 days for Judah's remaining, prophesying all the while toward Jerusalem (1 day = 1 year). Bound by God on each side while doing so. His diet also specified as a sign. Ezekiel objects to the unclean fire material; God compromises. This done as a sign of famine to come to Jerusalem. They will know their sins are responsible.
  5. (594 B.C.?) [Signs of Jerusalem's siege continues.] Ezekiel is instructed to shave his head and beard, with specific details for disposal: 1/3 to burn, 1/3 to cut up, and 1/3 to scatter to the wind, with a few saved. Jerusalem is condemned for changing His judgments into wickedness, failing to walk in His statutes. God Himself will be their judge, delivering a severe judgment such as never before seen, nor to be repeated. They will resort to eating their own flesh and blood! A 3-fold judgment: 1/3 to die by famine, 1/3 by the sword, and 1/3 scattered; then they shall know God is serious about His business! To be a reproach to all nations. Four great terrors will be sent upon them: (1) famine, (2) wild beasts, (3) pestilence, and (4) the sword.

How The Megachurch
Destroyed Christianity

The consequences of the magnitude of such a broad scale world-wide implementation of a "new church model" cannot be ignored. It must be examined by the serious Bible student and Christian! It must be looked at in light of Bible prophecy. We must heed the warnings of both Jesus' own words when He walked the earth and those inspired by the Holy Spirit written later for our advantage in alertness of end-time events and trends. Not to do so would be perilous. So, I have prayerfully written 5 articles on this demonic phenonemonen with hopes they will help you to understand how serious this modern attack is on the true church of Christ - Articles on the Modern Church.
Project Blue Beam
Hologram - Jesus in Clouds The world does not have a clue what has been developed over the years with private and tax payer dollars. As with most things, there is a positive benefit to society with new discoveries and inventions. But then nefarious people see how they can use it to manipulate people for their own evil purposes and benefit.

Many mega-churches now project holograms of their pastors preaching on Sundays in many of their pastorless satellite churches around the globe, at the same time—that have been equipped to receive such a transmission. This same technology is being developed by globalists for use on a universal scale in the not too distant future to unveil their devious evil program that will deceive the world. It is evil. It will cause world-wide panic. (Think Jesus appearing in the sky. Think aliens and their fleet of UFOs—an invasion! You have been warned.)

Just as the people have so readily been conditioned by fear of a so-called deadly pandemic to accept their universal masks and vaccine, they will yet again quickly accept the globalists' solution to their latest fear.
