Sunday June 3 2018: Enoch's Pentecost

Sunday June 3, 2018 will be Pentecost according to Enoch's calendar.  This may be a day for a huge pouring out of God's Holy Spirit to the righteous and God's Elect prior to us entering into the Great Tribulation in the Fall of  2018.

John 20:1-22 tells us that after Jesus was crucified, He rose again 3 days later, ascended to Heaven, then returned to Earth and met with His Disciples that Sunday.  Jesus showed them the nail holes in His hands and side, then breathed on all of them to give them the Holy Spirit.  Jesus walked the Earth for the next 40 days helping His Apostles prepare for what was to soon come.  After 40 days, Jesus instructed His Disciples to await the helper (Holy Spirit) that Jesus would send for them.  Jesus re-ascended to Heaven through the clouds.  Ten days later, on Pentecost (ie. 50 days after the Holy day of First Fruits, when Jesus first ascended to Heaven), the Holy Spirit arrived as promised, and filled up all of Jesus' Disciples to overflowing with the Holy Spirit.

Notice that filling up with the Holy Spirit was a 2 stage process. Does this relate to the Bible's allegory of the 10 Virgins in Matthew 25:1-13, where 5 wise and 5 foolish, where all virgins had some oil for their lamps, but the 5 foolish virgins ran out of oil (ie. Holy Spirit) for their lamps due to the unexpected delay waiting for the Bridegroom's arrival (ie. Jesus) for the wedding?

As an analogy, if you see a sign saying "Last Gas for 500 km" as you drive along a strange highway on your vacation, what should you do?  Of course, one should realize the gas tank on most cars allows us a range of around 500 km.  Even if you filled up just before this sign, it is wise to take advantage of this last opportunity to refill your tank.  If you ignore the warning, you will likely run out of gas and be stranded; ruining your vacation.

Same goes for your spiritual gas tank and your share of God's Holy Spirit.  Your tank should be overflowing.  This is especially true as we enter God's End Times process.

Calendars have been a point of contention for some time:

• Enoch's calendar comes to us from the Book of Enoch (dated at 400 BC).

• Babylonian Captivity under King Nebuchadnezzar from 597 BC till 527 BC corrupted or influenced the Jewish calendar to some unknown degree.
  
   
• the Julian Calendar of 46 BC (in place at the time of Jesus Christ).
• Jewish calendar was radically changed after the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, the outlawing of the Sanhedrin (Supreme Court of the Jewish faith), and banned rulings on the Jewish calendar.  Since then, a Babylonian-type calendar was established for the Jews.
  
   
• the declaration of Sunday as the day of rest in 321 AD by Roman Emperor Constantine,
  
   
• Outlawing of God's Sabbath (Saturday), and adoption of Sunday by the Roman Catholic Church via the Council of Laodicia  in 363 AD, and
  
   
•  the Gregorian Calendar of 1582 AD used by almost all Christian organized religions had a different definition for Pentecost, aligned to many pagan ceremonial dates since

As Enoch's Calendar is the oldest, perhaps it is the best.  Enoch was:

• the 7th generation born after Adam & Eve,
• mentioned in the Book of Genesis 5:21-24 of the Bible (ie. Enoch was a righteous man who walked with God),
  
   
• the father of Methuselah (the oldest man, and the Flood couldn't start until  Methuselah died and the 3 days of mourning had passed), and
  
   
• the the great-grandfather of Noah.
• quoted from in the Bible, Book of Jude 1:14. 

The Book of Enoch was rejected by the Jews because it contained prophecies about Jesus Christ.  The Book of Enoch is reinforced by the Book of Jubilees.  Neither the Book of Enoch, nor the Book of Jubilees are a part of the Holy Bible, as the Roman Catholic Church rejected both books around 400 AD, possibly because the manuscripts were lost or partially lost at that time.  We received better research and manuscripts for the Book of Enoch from the Ethiopian Church of Christ in 1906 AD, and the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1976 AD.

As Enoch's calendar is 364 days long, but resets its start each solar year as the day after the Spring Solstice, it is accurate and stay accurate with the sun forever, without the need for leap years, nor strange variations in the length of months as defined by the various Roman Emperors.  In other words, Enoch's calendar is simple, accurate, and se


ems to be endorsed by God.  Can we ask for more?

The Jewish calendar of today varies on a 17 year cycle, and requires someone to decide about the insertion of an extra month into the year every now and then based upon the barley harvest in Jerusalem, the phases of the moon, and many other factors.  It is obviously very complicated, and inaccurate to varying degrees during the 17 year cycle between the sun and moon.  This can result in Holy Days defined in the Bible being significantly off from God's reality.

If you celebrate a non-Holy day, and fail to celebrate a Holy Day as defined by God's Bible, all because you use the wrong calendar or don't care, you upset God, and sin.

I have done a fair amount of research on this calendar problem.  It appears that we have good reason to believe Sabbath (Saturday) is correctly defined (ie.  there is a negligible chance that Sabbath is one of the other six days of the week through some screw up in ancient history).

Of course, the Devil is glad we have confusion about God's calendar, and he wants to use this as a wedge between God and His people.  Getting the Holy Days correct is one of the ways we demonstrate we are part of God's family.

I was somewhat disappointed that I felt no filling up of my Holy Spirit on the Pentecost defined by most Christian churches (May 20th, 2018).  Perhaps it was because this date was based upon a false calendar.  Perhaps Enoch's Pentecost on June 3rd will produce better results.

If you are interested in Enoch's Calendar, there is a free app for your Android phone, available here:   https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.RipCurrentInteractive.EnochCalendar&hl=en 

I am not totally convinced that Enoch's calendar is the one and only calendar of God.  I reserve the right to change my mind if further research shows it is wrong, or time & better knowledge offers a better choice.  Until then, I believe Enoch's calendar is the correct calendar.

I plan to focus my prayers in a growing crescendo between now and June 2, then adding fasting in the 3 prior days ( May 31 to June 3),  Sabbath from Friday twilight to Saturday twilight, then Pentecost celebrations starting from Twilight (sundown) on Sat. June 2 till twilight on Sunday June 3.

I look forward to having my Holy Spirit filled to overflowing on June 3rd.  Will you consider the above, ask your questions now, and come join me?

Full, True Christians

Only Full, True Christian will go to Heaven.

Atheists, non-Christians, and luke-warm Christians will all go to Hell for eternal suffering.

If you want to go to Heaven, you must meet all 12 of God’s mandatory requirements for being a Full, True Christian.

Are you a Full, True Christian, ready for Jesus Christ?

If you aren't already a Full, True Christian, you can quickly solve that problem.

Full, True Christian is defined (by John 1:29, 10:9; and Matthew 7:14, and Phil. 1:23) as someone who:

1. Has become aware of God, God’s Word in the Holy Bible, Jesus Christ, Holy Ghost, God’s Commandments, and God’s Will;
   
    
2. Realizes their previous sins against God's Will and Commandments, and God’s just judgement for those sins (ie. death, and maybe God’s wrath and judgement), and the opportunity for everlasting life through Jesus Christ in spite of those past sins; then
    
3. Chooses on a free-will basis to believe with all their heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that He came to Earth to pay for everybody’s sins by His crucifixion, death, and resurrection;
    
4. Admit they are a sinner;
    
5. Confess their sins to Jesus Christ;
    
6. Repent their sins;
    
7. Ask for the forgiveness of Jesus Christ;
    
8. Ask Jesus Christ to cleanse their heart, mind, body, and soul so that they are ready to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit into their life;
    
9. Commit themselves to Jesus Christ, their Saviour, and will joyfully follow God’s will and all His Commandments;
    
10. Loves the Lord their God with all their heart and with all their soul and with all their mind and with all their strength;
11. Did a full immersion baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (NB: sprinkling of babies with Holy water isn't adequate); and
12. Leaving behind their dying life of sin, and be resurrected into a new righteous life with Jesus Christ and all the saints in His church, and the filling up of their life and soul with the Holy Spirit.

If someone told you (or you believe) you are a "Born Again Christian", this may not be enough to get you to Heaven.  According to the Bible, you must meet all of the 12 mandatory conditions above.

If you buy a solid gold "Rolex watch" in a dark alley in New York City for a very low price, it is likely damaged, stolen, or a fake.
 
Likewise, be careful if you are a Mormon, Jehovah's Witnesses, Roman Catholic,  Protestant, and similar organized religions that references "Jesus Christ" and claims to be "Christian".  Your version of Jesus and/or Christianity may be a fake, or include idol worship (ie. worshiping and praying to Mary, Mother of Jesus; praying to Saints, etc.), or similar sins; designed by the Devil to deceive you.  You must ensure you are praying and worshiping only to the one, true God in a proper manner; neither a fake Jesus, nor idol worship, nor blasphemy.  Remember how upset Jesus was about the  Pharisees, Sadducees, and the unholy practices in the synagogues during His times; similar to how organized religions have lost their way today.  Compare your Church's doctrine and your definition of Jesus with the Jesus defined by the King James version of the Bible.  Come out of her before it is too late.

*** 2020-4-29 Addendum ***

There is a 10 point test for checking to see if you are a full, true Christian, or had a false conversion, or you're a wolf in sheep's clothing.  See https://et-manitoulin.blogspot.com/2020/04/full-true-christian-or-wolf.html

North Korean Decoy

Things suddenly look better over in North Korea (DPRK), but should we believe the Main Stream Media hype?

Henry Gruver is a “Prayer Walker to the World.”  He started walking with the Lord on the Skid Row streets of Phoenix, Arizona in 1961 at the age of 18, and today he is still walking with God. Known widely for his detailed visions for nations, his ministry has spanned many continents and 54 countries.  Wherever his Heavenly Father leads him, he prays.

Kim Jong Un, Leader of
N. Korea (DPRK)

In this video, Henry describes:

• that he had previously seen the vision of Kim Jung Un being assassinated by his body guard (yet to occur).
   
• Key parts of S. Korea, especially universities, has been infiltrated and overtaken by a 5th Column from N. Korea (Democratic Peoples Republic of North Korea ("DPRK") .  This invasion by N. Korean sleeper agents within S. Korea has contributed to the impeachment of the previous President and her sentencing to 24 years in jail
   
• President Moon Jae-in of S. Korea is currently negotiating a peace treaty between North and South Korea.

Once a peace treaty has been signed between the partitioned Koreas, US military must immediately withdraw from S. Korea according to their constitution.  If this North-South peace treaty is a false peace, this will leave S. Korea defenseless.

Henry also reminds us that N. Korea had received USSR nuclear designs for EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) nuclear weapons 20 years ago, and since then, further improved on these designs, and he has them ready to use.

If Henry is correct, this may explain why Kim Jong Un has halted nuclear testing, is now playing nice, attended the Olympics, trade missions, cultural exchanges, and similar ploys.  Kim Jong Un is ready to go to nuclear war against the USA and Japan, but must bide his time till the Devil calls his name.

N. Korea is rumored to have two satellites in Earth polar orbit,, each of which is carrying an EMP nuclear device.  One of this satellites is over N. America every 6 hours, presenting Kim Jong Un with a decision,

 "Do I push the button now, or wait another 6 hours?"

Once USA and Japan have suffered an EMP attack from N. Korea, they are sitting ducks for Russia and China to attack.

It is only a matter of time, when the Middle East is ready to go for the Psalm 83/Ezekiel 38-39 battle against Israel, that all of the players will orchestrate their attacks simultaneously.

There is no escape, except through Jesus Christ.

Now is when you need to get right with Jesus, as soon as possible.  See Probable Sequence of End Time Events

I don't know exactly what will occur, nor when it will occur. Nobody does, except God.  However, May 12 through 14th, 2018 is a highly likely period.

May God bless you, but remember Psalm 5:11

"But let all those that put their trust in Thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because Thou defendest them: let them also that love Thy name be joyful in Thee."

History of the Promise Land & Israel

* * * Note:   This is yet incomplete, but I thought it better to publish 80% done rather than 100% never. * * *
  
The squeeze play plight of Gaza's people is a chronic, sad tale.

Nobody likes Hamas except the people of Gaza who elect and re-elect them as their political leaders.

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood wants Gaza under its power and control.  The Muslin Brotherhood was removed from power in Egypt by a military coup in July 2013, so Egypt has closed its borders to Gaza, except for a rare humanitarian aid shipment.  Egypt wants to squeeze the Gazian people until the people submit to Egyptian influence and rule by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Brief History of Jews and Israel

My thanks to CBC News,  Wikipedia, and many other Internet sources, as summarized here:

~1312 BC Israelites leave Egypt under the leadership of Moses, and the protection of God, headed for the Promised Land  (Middle East), which was promised to them forever by God.  God blessed the Israelites because of His covenant with Abraham, as well as the sins and evil done by those who were then occupying the Promised Land.  As the Israelites grow in population and skill, they slowly displace all previous occupants with God's never ending help.









~1003 BC  King David captures from the Jebusites what will become the City of David and Jerusalem.  David buys the threshing floor as the alter site for worshiping God.

c. 740 BC–c. 722 BC   The Northern Kingdom falls into sin and away from God.  God finally resorts to punishing them when Israel falls to the Neo-Assyrian Empire, and its former inhabitants disappeared from history as "The Ten Lost Tribes of Israel".  The Southern Kingdom of Judah, including Jerusalem, continued under Hebrew rule.

 

In 721 BC, Israel was destroyed by the Assyrians

 

586 BC   Kingdom of Judah falls into more and more sin, and away from God.  God finally punishes the Jews by the invasion of Babylon's King Nebuchadnezzar, Solomon's Temple is destroyed, and thousands of Jews are placed into slavery captivity in Babylon for 70 years, including the Prophet Daniel.

 539 BC   After 70 years of punishment in captivity, God arranges for the Persians to invade and conquer Babylonian Kingdom.  The Jews are released from captivity, and the Persian King Cyrus authorizes the Jews to inhabit and rebuild Jerusalem, including a new Temple.

332 BC   Alexander The Great invades everywhere, including Israel and Jerusalem, all as foretold by Biblical prophecy by Prophet Daniel.  Impressed by the prophesy, Jerusalem is spared from destruction, but is placed under Alexander's control.  After the Greeks were finished, next came the Ptolemies of Egypt, then the Seleucids of Syria to hold the Jews captive.

167–161 BC   The Jewish Maccabees lead a successful revolt against the Hellenistic Seleucid Empire, recapture Jerusalem, and commemorate their victory with Hanukkah holiday; still celebrated today by all Jews.

 

63 BCE   Roman General Pompey the Great lay siege to and entered Jerusalem and the Temple.  All of Judea became a client kingdom of Rome.

66–70 AD   The First Jewish–Roman War ended with destruction of the Second Temple and the fall of Jerusalem. 1,100,000 people are killed by the Romans during the siege, and 97,000 captured and enslaved.

115–117 AD    Kitos War (Revolt against Trajan) – a second Jewish-Roman War initiated in large Jewish communities of Cyprus, Cyrene (modern Libya), Aegipta (modern Egypt) and Mesopotamia (modern Syria and Iraq). It led to mutual killing of hundreds of thousands Jews, Greeks and Romans, ending with a total defeat of Jewish rebels and complete extermination of Jews in Cyprus and Cyrene by the newly installed Emperor Hadrian.

131–136 AD   The Roman emperor Hadrian, among other provocations, renames Jerusalem "Aelia Capitolina" and prohibits circumcision. Simon bar Kokhba (Bar Kosiba) leads a large Jewish revolt against Rome in response to Hadrian's actions. In the aftermath, most Jewish population is annihilated (about 580,000 killed) and Hadrian renames the province of Judea to Syria Palaestina, so as to help root out Judaism.

138 AD   With Emperor Hadrian's death, the persecution of Jews within the Roman Empire is eased and Jews are allowed to visit Jerusalem on Tisha B'av (Ninth of Av, a day of mourning for destruction of Jerusalem & Temple on this day). In the following centuries the Jewish center moves to Galilee. 

361–363 AD   The last pagan Roman Emperor, Julian, allows the Jews to return to "holy Jerusalem which you have for many years longed to see rebuilt" and to rebuild the Second Temple. Shortly after, the Emperor is assassinated, and the plan is dissolved. 

438 AD   The Empress Eudocia removes the ban on Jews' praying at the Jerusalem Temple site and the heads of the Community in Galilee issue a call "to the great and mighty people of the Jews": "Know that the end of the exile of our people has come"! 

610–628 AD   Jews of Galilee led by Benjamin of Tiberias gain autonomy in Jerusalem after revolting against Heraclius as a joint military campaign with ally Sassanid Empire under Khosrau II and Jewish militias from Persia, but are subsequently massacred. 

1095–1291 AD   Christian Crusades begin, sparking warfare with Islam in Palestine. Crusaders temporarily capture Jerusalem in 1099. Tens of thousands of Jews are killed by European crusaders throughout Europe and in the Middle East.

 

1141 AD   Yehuda Halevi issues a call to the Jews to emigrate to Palestine. He is buried in Jerusalem.

 

1187 AD   Upon the capture of Jerusalem, Saladin summons the Jews and permits them to resettle in the city. In particular, the residents of Ashkelon, a large Jewish settlement, respond to his request.

 

1267 AD   Nahmanides (Ramban) settles in Jerusalem and builds the Ramban Synagogue.

1488 AD   Obadiah ben Abraham, commentator on the Mishnah, arrives in Jerusalem and marks a new epoch for the Jewish community. 

 

1700 AD   Rabbi Judah HeHasid makes aliyah (emigration to Jerusalem & Land of Israel, and Palestine) accompanied by hundreds of his followers.

 

1740 AD   Ottoman authorities invite Rabbi Haim Abulafia (1660–1744), renowned Kabbalist and Rabbi of Izmir, to come to the Holy Land. Rabbi Abulafia is to rebuild the city of Tiberias, which has lain desolate for some 70 years. The city's revival is seen by many as a sign of the coming of the Messiah.

1740–1750 AD   Thousands of Jews immigrate to Palestine under the influence of Messianic predictions. The large immigration greatly increases the size and strength of the Jewish Settlement in Palestine.

 

1799 AD   While French troops were in Palestine besieging the city of Acre, Napoleon prepared a Proclamation requesting Asian and African Jews to help him conquer Jerusalem, but his unsuccessful attempt to capture Acre prevented it from being issued.

 

1808–1840 AD   Large-scale aliyah in hope of Hastening Redemption in anticipation of the arrival of the Messiah in 1840.

 

1834–1835 AD   Muslims and Druze attack Jews in Safed, Hebron & in Jerusalem.

 

1860–1875 AD   Moshe Montefiori builds Jewish neighbourhoods outside the Old City of Jerusalem starting with Mishkenot Sha'ananim.

 

1870–1890 AD   Russian Zionist group Hovevei Zion (Lovers of Zion) and Bilu (est. 1882) set up a series of Jewish settlements in the Land of Israel, financially aided by Baron Edmond James de Rothschild. In Rishon LeZion Eliezer ben Yehuda revives Hebrew as spoken modern language.

 

1881–1884, 1903–1906, 1918–1920 AD   Three major waves of pogroms (persecutions) kill tens of thousands of Jews in Russia and Ukraine. More than two million Russian Jews emigrate in the period 1881–1920; 75% heading to USA, balance to Europe and elsewhere. 

 

1881 AD   On December 30–31, the First Congress of all Zionist Unions for the colonization of Palestine was held at Focşani, Romania.

 

1882–1903 AD   Based on the 1881 Congress, the First Aliyah, a major wave of Jewish immigrants occurs to build a homeland in Palestine.

 

1890 AD   The term "Zionism" is coined by an Austrian Jewish publicist Nathan Birnbaum in his journal Self Emancipation and was defined as the national movement for the return of the Jewish people to their homeland and the resumption of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel.

 

1897 AD   In response to the Dreyfus affair, Theodore Herzl writes Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State), advocating the creation of a free and independent Jewish state in Israel.  

 

1897 AD   The First Zionist Congress was held at Basel, Switzerland which brought the World Zionist Organization (WZO) into being. 

 

1916, May 16   British and French negotiate a secret treaty on how the Middle East and Ottoman Empire will be divided up amongst European powers after the end of First World War.

 

1917
    The British defeat the Turks and gain control of Palestine.   At this time, there were approximately 50,000 Jews; 50,000 Christians; and more than 700,000 Arab Muslims in the areas comprising Israel and Palestine of today.  In the USA, there were 20 million Americans who had German ancestry, and 3.5 million Jews.  Over the course of next few decades, however, the demographics were changed by shipping hundreds of thousands of East European Jews to Palestine.The British issue the Balfour Declaration (Nov. 2, 1917) which gives official British support for "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people ... it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine". Many Jews interpret this to mean that all of Palestine was to become a Jewish state.

 

1935   There were now 300,000 Jews in Palestine. Tel Aviv, founded in 1909, had 100,000 people.  

 Palestinian Liberation Organization ("PLO"), a political group started in 1959 by Yasser Arafat and others.  PLO used and/or sponsored terrorism from 1965 onwards as their prime method to achieve their political goals, until around 1988.

Jordon declared the West Bank to be officially separated and independent from Jordon in 1988, forming the State of Palestine.

After the Madrid Peace Conference in 1991, Israel considered PLO to have renounced terrorism. In 1993, PLO chairman Yasser Arafat recognized the State of Israel in an official letter to Israel's Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin. In response to Arafat's letter, Israel decided to revise its stance toward the PLO and to recognize the organization as the representative of the Palestinian people. This led to the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993, where the Palestinian Authority, lead by Arafat, was created for self-government of the West Bank and Gaza.  However, the PLO has employed violence in the years since 1993, particularly during the 2000-2005 Second Intifada.



Palestinian Islamic Jihad ("PIJ") is an extremely violent and hard lined terrorist organization in Gaza, that has sought the destruction and removal of Israel.  PIJ is in direct competition against Hamas.  PIJ says they don't hate Jews, but they strongly hate the State of Israel.  PIJ used to be much more powerful in Gaza, resents their loss of power to Hamas, so makes trouble for Hamas, and tries to upstage them (eg. by antagonizing and attacking Israel and Jews, blaming it on Hamas if it fails, and claiming responsibility if it succeeds).

Palestinian National Authority ("PNA") controls the West Bank area, and was kicked out of Gaza by Hamas in June 2007.  PNA is controlled by Fatah (a.k.a. Palestinian Liberation Organization, "PLO"), a political group started in 1959 by Yasser Arafat and others, and has used and/or sponsored terrorism to achieve their political goals throughout their existence.

Nuclear War will soon destroy many

Everybody wants a piece of Syria, and are willing to do anything to get it their way.  This will soon lead to World War 3 with nuclear attacks.

Israel appears to want Syria to become a failed state.  Israel seems to think that the failure of Syria means that the Golan Heights captured and held by Israel since the 1967 War will become 100% and officially part of Israel.  Ever since huge shale oil deposits were found in Golan Heights in 2012, Israel has re-doubled its efforts to hold these lands.  Israel also wants even more of Syria, maybe as far as Syrian border with Iraq, equal to the Promised Land at the time of Moses.

Israel has been offering medical assistance to wounded ISIS fighters.  They seem to pretend that this is 100% humanitarian, but in reality Israel wants ISIS to defeat Bashir al Assad so that Israel can take what they covent of Syria's territory.

The Sunni Muslim government of Saudi Arabia want to use Syria to defeat the Shia Muslim government of Iran and its allies.

Russia needs Assad's Syrian government to block the natural gas pipeline from Qatar, which would pass through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Turkey and then on the Europe.  Since Russia gains 60% of its GDP from oil and natural gas sales, and natural gas sold to Western Europe is a major part of Russia's sales, and Qatar's proposed pipeline will destroy Russia's income, Russia will Syria as the proxy battleground to stop Qatar's pipeline.

USA is a rabid dog crazed by communism and Russia.  The Americans will do anything to destroy and punish Russia.  President Obama and Hillary Clinton started the war in Syria with its allies Qatar, Saudi Arabia and others.  There were no Iranian troops in Syria at that time, but Iran soon came to the defense of Assad and Syria.  Syria is a US proxy battleground used against Russia.  The US hopes that Assad will be defeated so that the subsequent puppet government will approve the pipeline, destroying Russia's economy.  In addition, the US hopes Russia's involvement will suffer in Syria another Afghanistan millstone, equivalent to USA's Viet Nam.  The US seems to think the more messy and complex Syria becomes, swirling around Russia inside Syria, the better.  That's why the USA is funding many of the 100 different sides within Syria (eg. CIA funds one group, Pentagon funds another group, and these two "moderate" jihadists groups fight against each other).

President Assad just wants to survive by removing the 100 different terrorist groups within their border who threaten Assad and his people.  For the majority of Syrians, they liked moderate Assad, and were happy with their lives in Syria before this war started.  For example, the large Christian population in Syria has been defended and protected for decades by Assad's government. When the Muslim jihadists (funded by USA et al) invaded Syria, the Christians were persecuted and attacked by these Islamic jihadists. Many Christians fled to Aleppo Syria, where the jihadists eventually caught up to them, slaughtering most of these Christians.  Many of the Syrian Muslims have fled for Europe, dramatically destabilizing almost all European countries, just as the Devil would want.    With Russia's help, Assad has almost defeated all of these foreign Islamic jihadi groups, and recently doing mopping up operations to cement its victory.  With US and Sunni plans to overthrow Assad in tatters, they had to up the ante, so USA/UK got the White Helmets (Syrias pseudo Civil Defence unit, started by UK's MI6 spy group, and funded by USA and UK on ongoing basis) to stake a false flag phoney chemical weapons attack on Syrian civilians.

What a mess!
 
President Trump was against Syrian war even before he was President.  Since then, it seems the US Deep State has turned Trump, getting him to attack Syria for the US false flag chemical weapon attack as an excuse, and risking the possible start of WW3.  One plausable explanation is as follows:

See Dr. Robert Mawire's video where he explains what comes next in Syria (ie. World War 3, nuclear), and why Trump and Putin will push the nuclear launch buttons:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ3ewfUI-Lg&t=604s

Also see Revelation 9:13-18

" And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,  saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.  And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.  And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.  And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.  By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths"

These 4 angels at Euphrates River were fallen angels that were bound by Noah because they were killing human men and stealing their women at that time, around 2350 BC; all as described in the Book of Enoch.

“…Bind them [fallen angels] fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, until the day of their judgment and of their consummation, till the judgment that is forever and ever is consummated.” Enoch 10:12

Jude 1:6 and 2 Peter 2:4 seem to support Enoch's claims.  From 2350 BC to 2018 AD is a total of 4,368 years, so 70 generations in Enoch 10:12 would be 62.4 years per generation.  This is a generic calculation, as we don't exactly know when the Euphrates Fallen Angels were chained.  Back calculation while assuming the Biblical standard of 70 years per generation, we get 2882 BC for the chaining.  Noah was born around 2948 BC, so this would have been when Noah was 66 years old.  The Flood occurred around 2348 BC, when Noah was around 600 years old.

Dr. Mawire says these 4 Fallen Angels have now been released by God.  I don't understand why or how that is true, because it seems that this release of Fallen Angels at Euphrates River as described in the Book of Revelation should be occurring much later in the End Times sequence, not now at the beginning of the End Times (ie. off by 3.5 to 7 years).. 

Dr. Mawire says Trump has been (or will soon be) possessed by one of these Fallen Angels, causing Trump to turn 180 degrees from his previous position.  Is this what has caused Trump to attack Syria, opposite of what Trump has said for a long time?  How else do we explain Trump's sudden reversal, especially when it will lead us to WW3 shortly?

Perhaps Dr. Mawire meant other Fallen Angels (like those at the Euphrates) will possess Trump, Putin, and other world leaders, causing them to go to nuclear war.

Julie Whedbee's most recent vision seems to support and confirm Dr. Mawire's most recent video.

Russia is now installing S300's in Syria, Israel has sworn to destroy them before they are operational.  Israel will soon attack the Syrian S300's, Russia will defend them, USA/Israel will counter-defend by bombing Old City of Damascus Syria.  Soon after, Russia & China & Iran & ? will launch all out nuclear war against USA and all NATO countries, USA will respond likewise; killing 2.5 Billion people in the process.

Read. Understand about Jesus. Pray.  Confess your sins.  Ask for forgiveness.  Ask Jesus to be your Saviour, and the Holy Spirit to come into your heart and soul.  Turn from sin.  Turn towards Jesus and His Commandments.  Follow the teachings of Jesus.

Do all this, and you will be rewarded with everlasting life.

If you skip any of these steps, God will eventually judge you for your sins (in spite of you being kind to puppies and being a "nice person"), and you will spend all of eternity continually suffering in the Lake of Fire.  The default choice (if you refuse to choose) is Hell.

God prefers you choose Heaven, rather than the Hell.  However, God gave you a brain and the right of free will, and He will respect your decision to go to Hell because you have no interest in God or Heaven.

There isn't much time left.  Perhaps you can run and hide from nuclear war, but nobody can hide from God and his End Times.

Choose wisely.  Choose soon.

The Greatest Sin: War or Abortion?

I hate war.  I'm not sure I can be convinced there is something called "Justified War".

In my youth, I heard others say, "It is every woman's right to choose."  Being in favor of freedom and rights, and too young and too shallow to think clearly and deeply about abortion, this seemed reasonable to me.  Today, I think differently.

The Bible tells us "Thou shalt not kill".  Seems plain and simple enough to understand.

Let's examine these complex, emotional, and gut wrenching issues.

War

 We have had war with us for a very long time.It seem surprising that the recent death toll is below the historical norm.  Perhaps that means we are overdue for the Big One.

Battles, and the resulting military and civilian death rates, from Year 1400 to 2000.  Just wait till Nuclear War and Battle of Armageddon get added to this graph!

From the 1776 US Revolutionary War till the 2014, it is estimated that 1,319,943 Americans died from war.

Since WWII, it is estimated that US government has killed 20 Million People in 37 “Victim Nations”.  We have no idea how many millions have been killed by all US wars, but I'm sure it's way more that 20 million.

I feel the US government is a blood thirty war monger that kills way too many people, and destroys nation after nation. To me, the US warmongering seems equivalent to the Imperial Roman army, Genghis Khan, and Alexander The Great.

In addition, the CIA and many other secret organizations inside and outside of the US government have done their unholy share of killing, assassinations, coups, explosions, and other mayhem.

Were any of these US wars and covert ops truly justified? 

Humanism

Humanism is a broad worldview which describes a number of shades of opinion, but the core set of beliefs and values can be summarized as follows.
A humanist…

• trusts to the scientific method when it comes to understanding how the universe works and rejects the idea of the supernatural (and is therefore an atheist or agnostic)
• makes their ethical decisions based on reason, empathy, and a concern for human beings and other sentient animals
• believes that, in the absence of an afterlife and any discernible purpose to the universe, human beings can act to give their own lives meaning by seeking happiness in this life and helping others to do the same.

I have heard of Humanism before, but never gave it much thought, and was unsure of the definition.  I now know that Humanists must be an Athiest ( lacks belief in a God or gods) or Agnostic (unable to be 100% certain if there is a God or gods).

Since I am a True Christian (recently upgraded from a Nominal Christian), I can no longer be a Humanist.  Has the Devil been involved in twisting and complicating our world through a misguided humanist agenda?  Some believe that Satan founded, and is the current leader of the Secular Humanist movement.

One Humanistic viewpoint on abortion is available here (MS Word document).  All it says is we need to think about a broad range of issues before we decide; all issues except God and God's Moral Laws.

One issue the Humanists rightly raise is exactly when does life begin in a fetus?  Humanists must rely upon logic and science to determine these types of issues, and avoid any religious teachings.

Starting Point of Human Life

Neither sperm nor egg can reproduce a human by themselves.  Therefore neither of these cells are human; they are just cells, no better, no worse than somebody's fingernail, hair, or skin cells.  Therefore none of these can rightfully receive the protection and rights which are reserved for a human.

In 1 John 1:5, the Bible tells us that God is light:

"This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."

In 2011, scientists discovered that at the instant that a frog egg is fertilized, there is a burst of light emitted.  In 2014, scientists duplicated the frog egg experiment with human eggs and sperm, and saw a similar flash of light.  The greater the flash, the stronger and more alive is the egg.  If there's no flash, then the egg failed to be fertilized, and is therefore dead and sterile. 





I suggest that the flash of light at fertilization is when life begins.

Sperm have the unique DNA genetic codes of the man.  The woman's egg contains her unique DNA.  Immediately after the flash, there is an exchange of DNA between the egg and sperm.  The DNA of the egg and sperm combine to produce a new, unique set of DNA; different from every other human on the planet.

After the DNA exchange, the fertilized egg will begin cell division within a few hours.  It will grow into a new, unique human with unique DNA, different from both mother and father.

Here is a 9.5 minute TED talk video "Conception to Birth - Visualized" by Dr. Alexander Tsiaras in Dec. 2010.

Picking any other point in time (from after the flash, up to full term birth) for when life begins has significant moral dilemmas attached (eg. akin to euthanasia, murder of sleeping or unconscious people, murder of elderly or sick or disabled persons, etc.).  The flash is life.

If life doesn't begin at conception, then I challenge you to pick the mm:ss timestamp in the video above as when it's OK to abort, and when it is no longer OK to abort because it is thereafter a human with the same rights to life that you currently enjoy (post your time mm:ss recommendation below in the Comments section, and explain exactly why and how you chose that particular moment).

Now that we know when life begins, let's talk about abortion.

Abortion

In 2012, U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (R-4th Dist., New Jersey) said that since 1973, when the US Supreme Court handed down its decision in Roe v. Wade, there's been "well over" 54 million abortions. This was based on data from The Guttmacher Institute.

In the video above, it is estimated that 3,000 abortions are performed each day in the USA, so that's  1.095 million US abortions every year.  Therefore, since 2012, that's an additional 6.7 million, for a grand total of  60.7 million abortions.

Therefore there are 46 times more abortion casualties in the last 23 years than 238 years of war.

If you add the US troops killed (1.3 million) plus their victims (20 million enemy troops and civilians since WWII), US abortions are likely still significantly greater than war deaths; even for the greatest war mongering nation in the last 1,500 year.

For peace loving countries, abortion is likely their biggest killing field.

If we do the comparison based on dead per year, abortion is 2.64 million per year on average over a 23 year period, while war is 5,545 dead per year over a 238 years average, so abortions are 476 times deadlier than war (based on number killed per year).

Apparently, I have been focused on small potatoes.  Abortions, I now see, is 476 times more important focal point for our attention.

If abortion in the US is worse than the rabid dog, blood curdling war mongering of the USA, then all other countries that have abortion but are more peaceful, abortion is even a greater target for changing for the better.

Canada gets along with most everybody.  We generally don't start wars.  How's Canada's abortion statistics?

 

Canada's Abortion Stats

 Based on statistics from University of Ottawa, 40% of all pregnancies in Canada are unplanned.  Of these, about half are carried to term; the other half are terminated.  There are 330,000 live births and 100,000 abortions each year in Canada. In 2003, 103,768 abortions were recorded in Canada, about 15.2 per thousand women. The number appears to be declining by about 1% per year.  A wide range of Canadian women undergo abortions.  About 50% are under 25; 64% are single, and 45% have children.

Since the US is approximately 10 times bigger than Canada, Canada and US have similar number of abortions per female per year.  When you look at the childbearing years incidence rate, US is 32.9% higher abortion rate than Canada (20.2/15.2*100%= 32.9%).

In Canada, there is no longer any law against abortion, nor when an abortion can be performed.  This can lead to some grisly situations were a healthy baby that could easily survive if allowed to be birthed, is instead aborted by highly questionable methods.

  

Abortions Around the World

 Abortion rates vary from a high of 53.7 per thousand women aged 15-44 in Russia, through 38 per thousand in China,  35 (Viet Nam and Kazakhstan);  33 (Estonia);  32 (Belarus);  27 (Ukraine);  20.2 (USA);  19.7 (Australia and New Zealand);  16.9 (France);  15.2 (Canada);  10.6 (Italy);  10.4 (Netherlands);  to 0.2 (Portugal). Reassuringly, no abortions were reported from the Vatican City. 

 

God's Viewpoint on Abortion

In the Bible Jeremiah 1:4-5, Jeremiah says:

"Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, ^'Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.' "

Here, we learn that God knew Jeremiah, even before his conception.  God sanctified Jeremiah (ie. made him holy) prior to his birth.

Perhaps God knows all the rest of God's children in a similar way to Jeremiah.

After the Flood, when there were only 8 people left on the Earth, in Genesis 1:28, it is written:

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 

This is a very specific commandment by God to be fruitful and multiply.  When God is specific, you had better do it, or could face immediate punishment.

Failing to be fruitful (whether by failing to marry, homosexual relationships, abstinence, or direct birth control methods) frustrates God's commandment of "be fruitful and multiply". 

Let's take another Biblical example.

When a husband dies, his widow is stranded if she has no children to help her. In ancient times, to ensure maximum fertility rates, a Levirate marriage (Hebrew: yibbum) is mandated by Deuteronomy 25:5-6, which obliges the oldest surviving brother of a man who dies childless to marry the widow of his childless deceased brother, with the firstborn child being treated as that of the deceased brother.

Levirate marriages shows you how serious God is about "be fruitful and multiply"

In Genesis 38:8-10, the Bible tells us about Onan, whose greed caused him not to follow God's Levirate marriage law.  Onan wanted his brother's widow would die childless, so Onan would then inherit his dead brother's property.  How did that work out for Onan?

And Judah [Onan's Father] said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.  And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.  And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him [Onan] also.

 Onan frustrated God's commandment of Levirate marriage, so God ended Onan's life as punishment, and likely as a message and example to all others.

God doesn't change.  God's rules don't change.  If this is how God felt in Onan's biblical time, He likely still feels the same now.

In another Biblical example,  Genesis 4:8-10 tells us how God hears Able's blood calling to God from the Earth:

 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.”  While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.  Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”
“I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.

Blood from just one murdered person cries out to God for justice.  What then, of the blood from 60.7 million babies?

During End Times, the Bible tells us in Revelation 6:9-11 that Christians will be persecuted by the Anti-Christ, and eventually Satan tries to kill all who refuse his Mark of the Beast.  These persecuted souls also cry out to God:

"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:   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?  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."

 I therefore conclude that God hears the voice of all aborted fetuses and babies who cry for justice.

Since God is just, there will eventually be justice for these aborted babies.  Just because there is a fleeting moment between the crime and the punishment does not mean the sinner has escaped without punishment.

I therefore conclude:

Thou shalt not kill (babies and fetuses included).
