We live in troubled times. The 7 years of God's End Times likely begin on or about Sept. 17-28, 2020 with many tribulations occurring soon thereafter (ie. evil events by Satan &/or judgements by God).

If you suddenly die before you are a Born Again, True Christian, you are doomed to eternity in Hell. With End Times starting soon, many more people (thousands to millions to billions more) will die through Satan's evil plans. DO NOT ignore this warning, nor procrastinate!

Daniel 9:27 Covenant of Many

A brochure advertising the Founding Conference of The Organization of Seventy Nations ("O70N") was obtained this week.  Does it describe the Covenant of Many prophecized by Daniel 9:27?

Why is Daniel 9:27 important?  Here is what it says:

"And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."
Daniel 9:27 describes the beginning of God's End Times process, with the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ in the middle of that 7 year long process.  NOTHING in this world could be more important than  the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ.

I have never heard of the O70N before this week.  How about you?

The O70N and this Founding Conference was "conceived, initiated, and produced" by Israel's Sandedrin.  I didn't know that a modern day Sanhedrin had been formed.  This is the 6th time in the last 500 years that a group has tried to restart the Sanhedrin.  Currently the Sanhedrin has no official authority, and is ignored, or deemed irrelevant, or disputed, or denied authority by the various faction inside and outside of Rabinical circles, Israel, Jews, and/or the Gentile world governments.

I guess they have to start somewhere so as to eventually achieve total, absolute power over the entire world.

This isn't the first action of the modern day Sanhedrin.  I found a 2008 article from the Human Rights Law Foundation applauding the Sanhedrin for receiving the 2007 human rights complaint of the Falun Gong against the actions by the government of China, and subsequently issuing a decision in complainant's favor.

I take note that the Sanhedrin alleges the United Nations has failed as a world government.  The Sanhedrin has called for the UN to be closed, and the Sanhedrin to take the place of the UN.

No doubt the UN leave a lot to be desired, has a consistent strand of graft, pork barrelling, conspiracy, incompetence and neglect running through it, and often runs up huge bills with few results.  Even so, I think most Jews would reasonably call the actions of the Sanhedrin to be steeped in chutzpah (ie. bold nerve and audacity, insolence, cheeky, overstepping the boundary of authority, etc.).

Nikki Haley, former USA Ambassador to the UN, where she repeatedly supported Israel, has been offered the position of honorary President of the O70N.  There has been no word from Nikki on what she plans to do.

If the O70N subsequently becomes the source of the "Covenant of Many", this would be a clear and unequivocale sign of God's End Times process having started.

Don't be fooled.  Just because the O70N name signifies "70 Nations", this doesn't mean there is literally 70 nations who are current members in good standing in the O70N.   The name refers to the Torah (ie. Bible Old Testament) references to the 70 descendants of Noah (also see here & here).   The various new articles on this conference mention participants from Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico, Honduras, Bolivia, Trinidad Tobago, and Costa Rica.  The brochure shows the flags from 27 different countries.   Representative from Afganistan, Guatamala, and Honduras are participating in the program.  Perhaps Nikki will be there to represent USA, so that would be a grand total of 9 nations; quite a gap from the nominal 70 Nations in the title.

I wonder how (& why) Sanhedrin got so many participants from the Carribean?

Will the list secretly grow to the full 70 Nations who actually show up in a few weeks from now?

The Sanhedrin also invited the 70 Nations to celebrate the dedication of the temporary, portable sacrificial alter for the Third Temple for Hanukkah 2018 (December 2018 Holy Festival).   So as to avoid starting World War 3 with the Muslims, this was done well away from Temple Mount.

Will the AntiChrist show up for this Founding Conference for O70N?

Only time will tell.

For the really brave (or really stupid), you might want to book your ticket to attend this O70N Conference and meet the AntiChrist in person.

Fasten your seatbelts, folks.  This is going to get really interesting, really soon.

You now have less than 13 days to confess your sins, get Born Again, get baptised in the name of Jesus Christ, and get all your armour of God fitted and in place so as to save your eternal soul.

You have been warned.  Rapture, Latter Day Rain, WW3, or nuclear war may be occurring on of shortly after this Sept. 27 deadline.  Jesus Christ steps on Mount of Olives around March 2023, just 3.5 years from now.

Are you ready?

If you are Born Again, and not living in chronic sin, you have nothing to worry about, just trust in Jesus Christ, He will never let you down.

Once Saved, Always Saved and Saved By Grace, Not Works

  Once Saved, Always Saved   and   Saved By Grace, Not Works

These 2 questions have raged on for almost 500 years.

We believe that all humans have sinned, and therefore deserve Hell as God's righteous and just punishment.

So that everybody can be saved and go to Heaven in spite of our sins, God came to Earth as Jesus Christ, and the righteous blood of Jesus dying on the cross is sufficient payment for everybody's sins.

To be eligible to receive this free gift of grace by Jesus, you must believe in Jesus, turn away from sin, and turn towards God.

If you try to earn favor with God by doing good deeds on Earth, God will see your so-called good deeds as "filthy rags", and a misguided attempt to bribe God acting as a holy and just Judge.

If you continue to have chronic, premeditated sin (also called iniquity in the Bible) in your life, this would be proof you do not truly love nor believe in Jesus Christ.  You are pretending to be Born Again for the sake of vanity (ie. hyper concern for what others think of you), or fraudulently claim to be Born Again as shallow virtue signaling to others.  You may fool a few humans for a short while, but you certainly won't fool God.  You will slink and slither along in this life for awhile, but when heavy persecution of Christians begins, you'll drop the fake Born Again facade like a hot potato and take the Mark of the Beast as a short term solution (blind to the long term consequences of Hell because you believe in neither Jesus nor the Bible).  Jesus calls this "seed sewn on rocky ground", that withers & dies when tough times arrive (see Matthew 13:1-23)  If you somehow escape the Mark of the Beast (a guaranteed trip to Hell), Jesus will ultimately reject you as a fake, a worker of iniquity, and throw you into Hell.

However, if you are truly Born Again, you will be meek, humble, and avoid both boasting and pride.  Your Born Again life as a True Christians will be a shining example to all others.  You will naturally produce many good works as an incidental by-product, but your Born Again attitude wouldn't dream of comparing these good works to the perfect life of Jesus, nor using these good works in any way to justify yourself, nor be self-righteous.

If your current life, or your current church, or your current Pastor, or your current Bible does not agree with what is written here, you have fallen in wih Satan's wolves, misled by Satan's lies.  Satan is misleading you so that you miss out on the free gift of salvation from Jesus Christ.  As Jesus says in Rev. 18:4:
"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

Here are the Bible quotations to help you see that light:

[Gal 3:10, 13, 24 KJV] 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. ... 13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: ... 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

[Jas 2:10 KJV] 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

[1Pe 2:24 KJV] 24 Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

[Rom 3:19-20 KJV] 19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

[Rom 3:23 KJV] 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

[Rom 10:3-4 KJV] 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

[2Co 5:21 KJV] 21 For He [God] hath made Him [Jesus Christ] to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

[2Ti 4:2-4 KJV] 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

[Mat 26:41 KJV] 41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

[Luk 13:3 KJV] 3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.


[Jhn 14:15 KJV] 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

[Rev 22:14 KJV] 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 

[Heb 8:10-12 KJV] 10 For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

[Mat 7:21 KJV] 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

[1Jo 2:3-6 KJV] 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

[Deu 6:5-9 KJV] 5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

[Jos 1:8 KJV] 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

[Mat 5:19 KJV] 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

[Mat 7:22-23 KJV] 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

[Deu 8:2 KJV] 2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and] to prove thee, to know what [was] in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

[Jas 1:12 KJV] 12 Blessed [is] the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 

[Luk 6:46 KJV] 46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

[Rev 3:19-22 KJV] 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

[Rom 3:23 KJV] 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

[Heb 12:14 KJV] 14 Follow peace with all [men], and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

[1Jo 3:6-10 KJV] 6 Whosoever abideth in Him [Jesus Christ], sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in Him: and He cannot sin, because He is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

[1Jo 5:3-5 KJV] 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

High Alert: Israel War, Oil, Brexit, Economic Collapse

Based on world events and Bible prophecy, I issue a high alert from now (2019-09-02) till Nov. 15, 2019 for the starting of the craziness.

Armed battles between Iran-Hezbollah-Hamas vs. Israel, Israeli election, Brexit, signing of a Middle East "Peace Treaty" contrary to God's Covenant will likely happen between now and Oct. 1, 2019.

After that, get yourselves ready for the likely long-awaited Rapture of the righteous believers of Jesus Christ, uprising of the AntiChrist, & collapse of world financial markets before the end of 2019

At some point between now and March 2022, there will likely be a world-wide war (likely going nuclear sooner or later with 2 billion dead), severe persecution & execution of Christians & Jews by the 1-World Government of the AntiChrist, & total world-wide chaos.

Here are the details, as follows:

Financial Mafia

In a supportive and self-serving role, the Globalists, Billionaires, Bankers and Central Banks (hereinafter referred to as the "FM", the Financial Mafia) have been very busy since the 2008 Great Recession.

The FM have racked up huge debts, hollowed out all the assets, issued trillions of $ in derivatives, and other mirages so as to extract maximum wealth for themselves before the financial house of cards collapse.  The FM still believe in their ultimate goal of owning and controlling everything, while preparing the world's population for Slavery & Serfdom II (the Dark Ages all over again).

However, the Great Recession scared some (or most) of them, as they know too well the error of trusting their fellow FM psychopaths.

Therefore all or most of the FM members are hedging their bets by ensuring they and their immediate family, friends, and "trusted" staff will be protected; even if their fellow FM psychopaths turn on them and throw them to the wolves (ie. the slaves, surfs, and what remains of the Rule of Law systems) so as to save the FM's "Inner Circle".  Most FM members have been hedging their bets by building high security compounds, siphoning off some private hidden assets, food caches, and similar self-preservation moves, rather than trusting in the overall FM plan.

All these FM psychopaths smile at each other, publicly profess their 100% support for their shared FM plan, all while preparing their private escape plan.  The lack of trust tips their hand to the slaves & serfs, and weakens the overall FM plan.  These will be the flies in the FM ointment that partially derail the overall FM plan for world domination; creating additional chaos, losses, and suffering by everybody (FM members, serfs, and slaves alike).

Everybody's savings, real estate property values, pension plans, investments are at risk; whether they are stored in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETF's, derivatives, GIC's, bank accounts, or precious metals.  Access to credit will quickly dry up, and demand loans will be demanded to be repaid immediately.  The collapse will likely include a Black Swan Event, and a Minsky Moment

If you trust any of the FM's and their promises to act in your best interests (ie. contrary to the FM's best interest) through the soon to arrive crash, you are a fool.

United Kingdom & Brexit

Brexit is full steam ahead.  PM Boris has thrown the steering wheel out the window by proroguing  Parliament (ie. extending summer recess) until just before the Oct. 31, 2019 deadline.

Is this the separation of the clay that does not cling to the iron in the feet and 10 toes of Danial's Biblical prophecy?

Some unknown actors (EU punishers of UK, or others) may choose to make the separation process worse, rather than a smooth transition.

The chaos will weaken the UK currency and scare the Canary Wharf  crowd (important part of the Financial Mafia, see above).

The Rothchild Bankers (the FM of the 1800's) ensured prompt knowledge of the truth, then used the truth to dupe the UK financial markets by spreading known-false rumors about Napoleon defeating Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo, cornering the market at pennies on the dollar, then reaping huge rewards when the truth was eventually known a few days later.  Will their FM descendants of 2019 use similar tricks to unfairly strengthen their winnings through Brexit?

Israel

Israel is proud, likely overconfident, and will continue pushing its long term agenda (Zionist dreams of owning 100% of the Biblical Promise Land, 3rd Temple on Temple Mount, etc.) through Israel's IDF, Mossad, and support from allies (USA and other secret allies).  The Israeli economy is strong, they have huge oil & gas reserves on the verge of production.  As the world economy collapses, the ongoing wealth of Israel will be very tempting for all Muslim nations surrounding them.

Iran

With the ongoing sanctions imposed on Iran by USA and others, and Iran's long standing hate for USA (Iran's so-called "Big Satan") and Israel (Iran's so-called "Little Satan"), Iran will soon reach a n ultimate climax: Strike Now, or Strike Never.  It is likely that Iran's puppets or proxies in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Turkey will support Iran (and their own domestic agendas) by leading the attack against Israel.

Middle East War Becomes World-Wide War

The Middle East War of 2019 will start small, but will quickly escalate.  Psalm 83, Ezekiel 38, and   Zech 13:8-9 seem to be linked in the 2019 war against Israel, in some unknown sequence.

The Bible's Isaiah 17:1 says Damascus will become a ruinous heap in one night.  Damascus is close to fulfilling that prophecy now (see 2015 drone footage here), but will likely be finished off during this war.

Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Sudan, Ethiopia, Armenia, Syria, Russia, Turkey, Ethiopia, and Iran will all join against Israel.  Israel is strong, but with 200,000 rockets aimed at Israel, their IDF and air defense system will become overwhelmed as Israel's enemies join the fight, one after another.  Israel will likely go nuclear.

Israeli nukes will likely enrage their enemies even more, making their hatred of Israel even worse.  Two-thirds of Israel's people will likely be killed, but God will intervene on Israel's behalf to save the 1/3 remnant.

Flow of Middle East oil will be stopped or severely curtailed.  World-wide energy prices and availability, especially gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene for jets planes, home heating oil, and propane will soon disappear or be unaffordable.

Food prices will soon go through the roof, store shelves will be empty.

It will be a bloody war all around.  The allies of Israel (USA, NATO, and others) might be nuked by the Communist-Shia Muslim Alliance (Russia, China, N. Korea, Pakistan) so as to support the Shia Muslim alliance against Israel, and resolve the age-old conflict between USA and Communism.  That is where and when this Middle East War comes to your doorstep as World War 3.

One of these may launch a nuclear EMP weapon strike, killing all electrical-electronic devices over 1 or more continents.  This will kill electrical power generation, Internet, TV, radio, and possibly all vehicle electrical systems.  No city water pumping, fire hydrants empty, no sewage disposal, no refrigeration.  Grid down!

Are you ready without Jesus Christ?

The devastation on all sides will ensure the rise of Satan, the AntiChrist, and False Prophet through the 1-World Government of the United Nations.

After the first nuclear ICBM salvo, there will likely be a pause.  People around the world will scream support and beg for "Peace & Safety" through UN's One World Government, in spite of Biblical Prophecy warning of the consequences.  The Middle East Agreement between many will likely divide Israel and provide peace and guarantees in exchange for totalitarian persecution of Christians, Jews, and all others who resist Satan's 1-World Government.

After this limited nuclear war, nobody will be in a position of strength, and will be unable to refuse the agreement.

Not Convinced Yet?

Pastor J.D. Farag's Bible Prophecy Update 2019-9-1

God's Roadmap to the End:  Oct. 31, 2019 Storm Approaches

Probable Sequence of Events in God's End Times Process

Dr. Robert Mawire's Sermon of 2019-9-1:   The New World Order: One World Economy

At 50:00 minutes into the video, Dr. Mawire explains that the 7 year long End Times process for the return of Jesus Christ will begin on or about Oct. 1, 2019 when the Middle East Agreement is signed.  He also explains that from 2014 to Oct. 2019 were the 7 fat years (cut off early), followed by the 7 lean years of famine, pestilence, disease, war, and persecution.

God's Roadmap to the End:   Understanding The Rapture

In this video, Jaco explains how in 32 AD, Jesus Christ and the others raised from the dead at his crucifixion (ie. the first believers in Christ) were the First Fruits of the Holy Barley Harvest.

Fast forward 2,000 year.  The main part of the Holy Barley Harvest of the righteous, Born Again, True Christians will occur on or about Oct. 1 2019 (ie. on or about the signing of Middle East Agreement).  Shortly thereafter, construction of the Third Jewish Temple in Jerusalem will commence, the AntiChrist will rise up as the totalitarian leader of all the world, the Mark of the Beast System will be instituted, and severe persecution of Christians and Jews will begin (up to and including  imprisonment, torture, and beheading).

On or about March 2023, all or most True Christians will be dead, 2/3 of all Jews will be dead.  Many Muslims, pagans, agnostics, atheists, and other religions will also be dead for a grand total of 2 Billion or so dead.

Next, the AntiChrist will seize the Third Jewish Temple, and declare himself to be god (fraudulently impersonating God).

Jesus Christ will then return, all those dead in Christ will rise to the clouds to be with Jesus, those still alive who did not take the Mark of the Beast will rise also to join them in the clouds.

Jesus will set down on the Mount of Olives, a huge earthquake and flood will occur, Jesus will throw all remaining sinners and those with the Mark of the Beast into God's Winepress of Wrath.

Next, Jesus will save the remaining Jews (ie. the 1/3 remnant of the Jews) who will flee to the desert under the protection of Jesus Christ their Messiah, where He will lead them and school them in righteousness.

The 144,000 are the First Fruits of the Holy Wheat Harvest.

The 1/3 remnant will re-populate the Earth during the 1,000 year Millenium rein of Jesus Christ on Earth.  At the end of the 1,000 year Millenium Kingdom, Satan will be released from the Bottomless Pit, fool some more people from the Millenium Kingdom, and try to revolt against Jesus Christ as King.  Satan and his gang will be destroyed by fire from Heaven, the remaining people of the Millenium Kingdom will be raised as the main Holy Wheat harvest  God and His people will live together in happiness for ever & ever

***   The End   ***

Worst Case Scenario

Your worst case scenario (nuclear war nightmare) soon arrives.  What can you do now to save yourself and your loved ones?

Once upon a time, a millionaire had many security men and a money belt full of gold around his waste so as to protect his gold from theft.  He accidentally fell overboard off his huge yacht.  His crew and security personnel were unable to save him because he refused to take off his money belt.  The 40 lbs. of gold in his  money belt took him straight to the bottom of the ocean.

Die with your possessions, rather than lose your possessions?  If you must die, surely there is some thing and some reason for which to die that is better than a few lumps of shiny metal, or a rusty car, or a house that you don't own (remember the bank owns it via mortgage, and you owe, likely forever).

Everything you currently have and enjoy are easily taken away by your government, the Financial Mafia ("FM"), nuclear war, your selfish neighbours, or Satan.  This may soon include your mortal life, and the lives of your family members or neighbours.

Do not be afraid of losing everything in this life, including your life.  It is the loss of your eternal life in Heaven (not your current mortal life) that you need to be fearful about losing (see Matthew 10:28-31): 
"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell[ie. Satan and AntiChrist]. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing [0.25 pennies, the smallest valued coin]? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father [God].  But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows."

Forgiven Sins & Salvation Through Jesus Christ

Jesus offers to save a Sinner from his sins and his just punishment in Hell.
Click on the image to see full sized version.


There is only one God, and Jesus Christ is the only way to God and Heaven.

If you don't choose to go to Heaven through the pardoning of your sins offered by Jesus Christ, you are guaranteed to go to Hell as punishment for your sins in this life.

Somewhere on planet Earth, 2 people die every single second of the day.  You could be next, maybe tonight or tomorrow.  If you die before you become a Born Again True Christian, you are guaranteed a 1-way ticket to Hell.

Millions and millions of people will soon die suddenly in WW3, which is soon coming in a few weeks or months.  Will that include you?

When you die in this fallen, sinful world, you will "sleep" in your grave until your resurrection by Jesus Christ so as to attend your trial before God, standing accused for your unrepented, unforgiven life of sin.  Once God judges you guilty of your sins under God's Commandments, you will be thrown into fiery Hell as punishment for your sins, where you will be tormented forever and ever for an eternity.

Jesus Christ is the Way, The Only Way

Only Jesus Christ offers protection and salvation of an eternal life in Heaven.  Allah, Buddha, Hare Krishna, nor any other false god nor spiritual leader can offer what Jesus Christ can offer.

If you're not a Christian, or an atheist, or agnostic when you die; your denial of God's existence, or denial of His Commandments will not excuse you, nor save you from God's wrath and punishment for your sins.  Ignorance of the law is no excuse; even here on Earth.

Caution for Nominal, So-Called Christians !

You must have a full, intimate, loving relationship with God, repent your sins, turn away from a life of sin and turn towards God and his righteous commandments.  In other words, you must be a True Christian.

If you say you believe but purposely continue to sin, it won't save you from your just punishment in Hell for your ongoing life of sin.

Luke warm, half hearted, last minute, or hypocritically pretending to belief in Jesus Christ while you continue in your selfish life of sin will be insufficient, as shown by John 14:15 where Jesus Christ said:
"If ye love me, keep my commandments."
Revelation 14:12 speaks of those souls who will be gathered by Jesus to Heaven and everlasting life during His harvest at His 2nd Coming:
"Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."
and Paul describing in Gallations 2:20 how he left behind his former live of sinning and persecuting Christians when he was "crucified with Christ" (ie. Paul was saved by Jesus Christ as described in Acts 9:3-5, and was Born Again in Christ):
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
and Matthew 19:16-17 where a rich man asked Jesus how he could insure that he would go to Heaven:
 "And, behold, one came and said unto Him [Jesus Christ], 'Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?'  And He [Jesus Christ] said unto him, 'Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.'  "

 and Matthew 7:71-23 where Jesus Christ said:
"Not every one that saith unto me, 'Lord, Lord' shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.  Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?'  And then will I profess unto them, 'I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity [iniquity is a conscious, purposeful decision to sin]'."
and you must be Born Again in Jesus Christ if you wish to go to Heaven as explained in John 3:3, John 3:7, and 1 Peter 1:23, as follows:

"Jesus answered and said unto him, 'Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.'  "
"Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."
"Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."

Jesus Christ's 8 Step Plan to Save You

Here is the 8 step plan I recommend for you and your loved ones:
  1. Admit and believe that God created and owns all of His creation (ie. God owns you and everything else in the Universe).  Admit and believe that Heaven, Hell, and God's 27 Commandments for Christians exist.
     
  2. Admit you have sinned against God's 27 Commandments for Christians at least one or more times in your life.
     
  3. Truly and deeply believe that Jesus Christ is God, that Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a perfect life, performed miracles to heal the sick, was unjustly accused and convicted, was crucified on the cross for everybody's sins, died, was buried, ascended to Heaven after 3 days and 3 nights in the grave, and now sits on the right hand of God the Father in Heaven as His only begotten Son of God.
     
  4.  Ask for God's forgiveness of your sins through the blood of Jesus Christ.
     
  5. Turn away from all your sins, and turn towards God.
     
  6. Ask for Jesus Christ to give you a new heart so you are Born Again in Jesus Christ, and to fill you up with the Holy Spirit.
     
  7. Pray continuously, and read your Bible each day so you better understand God, God's way, and how to walk God's path in the light.
     
  8. Share your testimony with your family, friends, neighbours, and strangers so they can learn about God, and your Born Again life, so they can choose to save themselves too.
If you are truly Born Again, you will soon see more and more righteous fruit (ie. good works) produced by your daily living, and a rapid and continuous reduction in the number and severity of your ongoing sins.  First, you will have less & less iniquity (purposeful, premeditated sin), then your accidental sin will also be reduced more & more over time.

Note that you are not saved by your good works; you are saved exclusively by Jesus.  No matter how righteous you become after being Born Again, your so-called "good works" are just filthy rags compared to Jesus and His crucifixion on the cross (see Isaiah 64:4-9).

Do not contaminate Jesus' payment for your sins through His suffering on the cross.  Do not mix the filthy rags of your so-called "good works" with the purity of Jesus' payment for all sins on the cross.  Jesus will not appreciate your haughty, holier-than-thou attitude.  Always be meek, humble, and circumspect of your fallen state; Born Again or not.

Repent Now, or Repent Never

There isn't much time left.  I plead with you.  I don't want to lose you to Satan's lies and bribes.  I fear for you burning in Hell, tormented forever and ever. 

DO NOT PROCRASTINATE !

Soon, it will be extremely difficult, with many negative consequences, for you to become a True Christian.  If you love your sin so much today, and see so little value in becoming a True Christian today, how will you become a True Christian sometime in the future when the AntiChrist will kill you, torture you, imprison you, or persecute you for becoming a True Christian?

I say to you, It's now or never.

White Horse of the Apocalypse


Who or what is the White Horse & rider for the Apocalypse in Bible's Book of Revelation 6:2:

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

The rider on the white horse has a bow.

Is this a cute ribbon bow in his hair?  Does he do a respectful, very low bowing before Kings?  Perhaps he has an archery bow, but he left his quiver of arrows at home?  One type of bow mentioned in the Bible is a rainbow.

This is the only place in the Bible that this Greek word for bow in Rev. 6:2 is used.

In the Bible, a bow symbolizes the archery bow of God is discussed in Psalm 7:12
If he turn not, He [God] will whet [sharpen] his sword; He hath bent his bow [Hebrew H7198], and made it ready.

Another synonym for bow is used in Psalm 64:3
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows [Hebrew phrase H2671] to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

Hosea 7:16 uses the same Hebrew word for "bow" as Psalm 7:12:
They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow[Hebrew H7198]: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

Jeremiah 9:3 uses the same Hebrew word H7198 again:
And they bend their tongues like their bow [Hebrew H7198] for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.

Remember that the White Horse & Rider are just one of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse:

Horse Colour
Purpose
White
conquer
Red
Take peace from the Earth, that they kill one another
Black
Hyper-inflation of food prices
Pale (Green)
Death & Hell
All 4 Horsemen (Rev. 6:8)
Power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth

Note the reference above to the Four Horseman's power over a forth part of the Earth.  It is interesting that Muslim-majority countries of today have a sovereign land area approximately equal to 1/4 of the Earth's land surface, just as described in Rev. 6:8.  Coincidence?

The Bible says "kill with the beasts of the Earth"?

Are we talking about rabid dogs, bears, cougars, lions, etc.?  Don't forget microbes and molds, as they are also living creatures, and come from the Earth's soils and similar places, can be infectious, are everywhere on Earth, and can easily kill millions very quickly during plagues.  We are getting new ones every day.
Zika virus spread throughout the world in last 72 years (1947 - 2019)
from Uganda to 87 different countries
  • 50% of the pigs in China have recently died from one outbreak of African Swine Fever.  Pigs are a major food source for Chinese people.
  • More than 50% of the people infected by the drug resistant yeast Candida auris have died, which is quickly spreading around the world, and is now in North America.
  • 1,900 people have died during the most recent outbreak of Ebola virus in Africa, and is slowly spreading throughout the continent.  Ebola has 25% to 90% fatality if infected, and has now reached major metropolitan areas, much more difficult to quarantine than rural areas of prior outbreaks.
  • Since its 1947 discovery of its first victim in the forests of Uganda, Zika virus has spread world-wide through 87 countries, infecting up to 10% of the population.  While there are no currently known outbreaks, the potential remains.  It is a classic case for how diseases spread through our world-wide commerce and travel.  Click on the map above for a full-sized version.
  • HIV continues to be a major global public health issue. In 2017 an estimated 36.9 million people were living with HIV (including 1.8 million children) – with a global HIV prevalence of 0.8% among adults. Around 25% of these same people do not know that they have the virus.  Since the start of the epidemic, an estimated 77.3 million people have become infected with HIV and 35.4 million people have died of AIDS-related illnesses.  There have been a few rare cases of being "cured" of AIDS (no detectable virus), and millions are maintained in remission as long as they faithfully take their treatment medications every day (what happens when major turmoil causes their medicine to be unavailable?). In 2017, 940,000 people died of AIDS-related illnesses in spite of anti-viral drugs. This number has reduced by more than 51% (1.9 million) since the peak in 2004 and 1.4 million in 2010.  Gay men were the original host and vector for spreading AIDS, and remain so in 2019 (18% of all cases).  Sex workers (3%),  intravenous drug addicts (8%), sexual partners of all primary vectors (18%), and transgender men who now identify as women (1%) are also major reservoirs of AIDS incidence and prevalence.  Today, between 0.5% to 6.5% of people identify themselves as LGBT+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transexual, etc.).  All of these people are (or were) clearly sinning against God's Commandments against drugs and harmful sex.
Consulting the Blue Letter Bible, we see that the English word "bow" used in Rev. 6:2 derives from the Greek word "toxon" which is Strong's Greek Word G5115 which is defined as:
τόξον tóxon, tox'-on; from the base of G5088; a bow (apparently as the simplest fabric):—bow.

The etymology of the English word "toxic" comes from the Greek word "toxon" for bow, as from poison tipped arrow.  Could this be why the rider of the white horse has a bow, but no arrows?

I also puzzled over Strong's Bible lexicon definition which adds "apparently as the simplest fabric".  What could that mean?

Could this also mean a rainbow flag as the banner of Satan as deviant sexual practices spread throughout the world, destroying God's definition of family, spreading disease, and confusing young children who are exposed to fluid gender definitions?

I searched the Internet to see if anybody else had the answer, or at least the same question.  I found a few websites (see here, and here) who seem to agree.

Soon, Born Again Christians will be sitting at the feet of Jesus as He explains to us the full and correct meaning of Rev. 6:2.  Are you ready?

Unfortunately most luke warm Christians, pagans, agnostics, and atheists won't be there as they have an appointment with Satan that they must keep.

Is God Pro-Choice or Pro-Life?

Abortion is often framed by two camps:  Pro-Choice, or Pro-Life.  Where does God stand on this important issue?

Everybody has free will, able to choose how we run our lives.  Christians say God gave humans free will and it is an inalienable right.  Does that include Pro-Choice?

Pro-Choice claims to give every woman the freedom to choose for herself, with no restrictions (or a few reasonable restrictions that can be overcome some way eg. delay, informed consent, affordable fee, licensed facility with all necessary skills and equipment in case something goes wrong, etc.). 

Pro-Choice could have been called "Pro-Death", but its supporters realized it would be an unsavory name, and a tougher sell than the implied freedom of Pro-Choice.

Abortion in USA

Roe Vs. Wade was a famous Texas court case that allowed a woman to get an abortion.  US State of Texas appealed to the US Supreme Court in 1971 (decision released in 1973), where the Court decided the government could not restrict abortions in the first trimester, could have reasonable restrictions in the 2nd trimester, and could ban abortions in the 3rd trimester unless it endangered the mother's life.

In 1992, the US Supreme Court case of Planned Parenthood Vs. Casey amended the Roe Vs. Wade decision from a trimester framework to one based on viability of the unborn baby in womb, and also reduced the Court's ability to intervene on cases filed against Federal or State laws on abortions.

It is estimated that 60 million surgical abortions have occurred in USA since Roe Vs. Wade.

In 2015, CDC reported:
638,169 legal induced abortions were reported to CDC from 49 reporting areas. The abortion rate for 2015 was 11.8 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years, and the abortion ratio was 188 abortions per 1,000 live births.

In addition to surgical abortions, since early 1960's there has been pharmaceutical-based emergency contraception (eg. heavy doses of birth control pills, "Plan B" pill, Morning After Pill, etc.) to stop a fertilized egg from implanting, and the Abortion Pill to abort newly implanted embryos.  In the USA, CDC reported in 2013 that for 2006 to 2010, 5.8 Million sexually active women used pharmaceuticals as an emergency contraception.  Reading between the lines, we can calculate approximately 9.2 Million babies may have been aborted in this 5 year period (ie. 1.84 million babies per year on average).

Abortion in Canada

In 1869, Canada made all abortions illegal. Illegal abortions and deaths of women prompted a relaxing of the law.  In 1969, abortions were permitted provided they were performed at some select hospitals if they were approved by the Therapeutic Abortion Committee at that hospital.  Feeling abortion approvals were too restrictive, Dr. Morgentaler started to focus his medical practice on abortions in 1968 by setting up his own private abortion clinic in Quebec.  He was repeatedly charged under Section 251 (4) of Canadian Criminal Code for performing illegal abortions in Quebec.  Juries of his peers continued to acquit him under the defense of necessity due to the plight of the women who sought an abortion but couldn't obtain one through the approved governmental system.  After 3 trials and 3 acquittal (and an Appeal Court overturning one of the jury acquittals, substituting a conviction for which Morgentaler spent 10 months in jail), the government gave up.  In 1976, the Quebec government announced there would be no further prosecution of bonafide doctors for illegal abortions in Quebec.

Morgentaler and other doctors spread the abortion movement to other provinces beginning in 1983, and were quickly charged for illegal abortions in Ontario.  In 1988, Canadian Supreme Court finally ruled that the Criminal Code was unconstitutional under Section 7 of the Charter of Rights (installed in 1982 at the repatriation of the Canadian Constitution).  No subsequent legislation on abortion has passed, so there is currently no enforceable federal laws against abortions in Canada.  Each individual Province or Territory have regulations controlling abortions.

In 2017, CIHI and ARCC reported there were 94,030 surgical abortions in Canada.  ARCC calculated there were 7.167 Million Canadian women of childbearing age (15 - 44), so the abortion rate was 13.1 per 1000 woman; 11% higher than the USA incidence rate for abortion.

Based on a study in British Columbia in 2005 for 1.4 million women of child bearing age (10 - 59 years old, total BC population of 3.9 million people), emergency contraception drugs were used 4 or more times per year by 0.9% of the women, 3 times per year for 2.1% of the women, twice per year by 10.4% of women, and only once per year by 86.6% of the women.   During the study, the 20 to 24 age group had the greatest use of EC's, at 38.9 treatments per 1000 women per year.  By making EC's available as over-the-counter drugs from pharmacists without prescription, there was up to a 47% increase in the use of EC's (45 - 49 age group).  It is estimated that 1,362 pregnancies were prevented by EC's in this 2 year study period in BC.  Extrapolating to all of Canada, we estimate 6,471 babies per year are killed by EC's.

Adding EC deaths to surgical abortions, we obtain a total death rate of 100,501 babies per year in Canada.

Today in Ontario (similar to other jurisdictions in Canada), emergency contraception prescriptions can be obtained at a doctor's clinic or pharmacy without doctor's prescription.  The Abortion Pill requires a doctor's examination, proof of pregnancy, and a doctor's prescription, then the cost of the pills are free (ie. paid for by Ontario's medical insurance program, OHIP).

Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood, & Abortion

Margaret Sanger was the USA-born woman who was the atheist, communist, neo-Malthusian, and eugenicist who founded Planned Parenthood.  Sanger was a strong proponent of negative eugenics, which aimed to improve human hereditary traits through social intervention by reducing the reproduction of those who were considered unfit (similar to the Nazi government).  Sanger published her eugenics book Women and the New Race in 1920.  She wanted to use birth control methods so as to "assist the race toward the elimination of the unfit".

Somehow, Margaret Sanger obtained the endorsement of Black community leaders, proposing birth control clinics in black communities, building the first one in Harlem, New York City in 1929.  Although Sanger was never reported as openly racist, she had close ties and sought support of the Klu Klux Klan and other racist individuals and groups, likely so as to maximize her personal mission of birth control by all available means.

In spite of all this, Margaret Sanger was strongly against abortion.  In 1916, when she opened her first birth control clinic, she was employing harsh rhetoric against abortion. Flyers she distributed to women exhorted them in all capitals:
"DO NOT KILL,   DO NOT TAKE LIFE,   BUT PREVENT"
and
"Abortion was the wrong way—no matter how early it was performed it was taking life; that contraception was the better way, the safer way—it took a little time, a little trouble, but it was well worth while in the long run, because life had not yet begun."

In spite of its founder's strong stance against abortion, today Planned Parenthood ("PP") is the #1 advocate for abortion throughout the world.

Abortion in the World

The first government to legalize abortion was in 1920 under the Communist Bolshevik government of the Soviet Union.

The Guttmacher Institute was founded by Planned Parenthood in 1968, and continues to have a close relationship with them.

The 2017 Guttmacher Institute study for WHO found that on a world-wide basis 55.6 Million abortions are performed every year, 45% of which were deemed unsafe (25 million unsafe abortions per year).  The incidence rate (abortions per 1000 women aged 15-44 years old) varied from 36 in developed countries, to 27 in developed countries.

WHO estimates 758 Million women are using contraceptive methods (non-abortion such as rythmn, condom, IUD, injection, implant, etc.) as of 2015, representing on average 64% of married or in-union women (as high as 84% for China, 75% for N. America, to as low as 17% for Eastern Africa).

Is Abortion OK at a Certain Stage of Pregnancy?

In all things, we should be logical and consistent.

When conception occurs, the DNA of the man mingles with the DNA of the woman so as to produce a unique individual; different, separate, distinct from both parents.  Once fertilized, the egg is no longer part of the mother; it is its own unique form of life.

We cut our hair and trim our toenails.  We surgically remove cancers from our bodies.  Hair has the same DNA as the body from which it was cut; same for toenails, and for most cancer tumors.  However, a fertilized egg is clearly different, as its DNA is different from the mother's DNA.  A fertilized egg cannot be dismissed as a "clump of cells".

Is a Fertilized Egg a Parasite in the Mother's Body?

Some misguided people think that a fertilized egg is like a parasite in the mother's body.  A parasite is defined as:
an organism living in, with, or on another organism in parasitism (an intimate association between organisms of two or more kinds especially : one in which a parasite obtains benefits from a host which it usually injures).
Parasitism is one species attacking a different species.  A fertilized egg is a different person, but is not a different species.  Therefore a fertilized egg inside its mother's body fails to meet the definition of parasitism.   Symbiosis is defined as the living together in a more or less intimate association or close union of two dissimilar organisms.  Symbiosis can be:
  • Mutualism (where the organisms are mutually beneficial to one another)
  • Commensalism (where only one organism benefits but the other is not injured or physically harmed)
  • Parasitism (where one organism benefits to the injury of the other)
Clearly, an unborn baby can be Mutualism or Commensalism, but not Parasitism.  Steve James provides 10 reasons that contrast a pre-born baby from a parasite:
  1. A parasite is an organism of one species that lives in or on an organism of another species and receives nourishment from the host.
  2. Parasites are invasive organism that come from an outside or external source. A fetus comes from an inside or internal source (ie fertilized egg)
  3. Parasites are generally harmful to the hosts, fetuses may make a pregnant woman experience adverse health effects, but not nearly to the same level that a parasite generally does.
  4. A parasite makes direct contact with the host's living tissues. A fetus lives in the placenta, fed by the umbilical cord, both of which are fetal tissue (ie the cells come from the baby).
  5. When a parasite invades a host, the host tissue will usually respond by encapsulating the parasite in order to cut it off from other surrounding tissue. In the case of a fetus, the mother’s tissue will create a lining tissue that connects, rather than cuts off contact with other tissues (placenta lining).
  6. Parasites usually elicit a surge of antibodies as an immunological response. With the fetus, however, a mother’s trophoblast (the shell of cells surrounding the embryo) will naturally block these antibodies so as not to reject the fetus. This reaction is only found in the embryo-mother relationship.
  7. A parasite will generally weaken the cellular reproductive capacity of the host.For a fetus, the effect is the opposite.
  8. Parasites generally stay with the host for life, a fetus leaves upon birth.
  9. Parasitical relationships are mostly harmful and unnecessary to the host, generally damaging the host in a variety of ways. A newborn (fetus post-birth) is very healthy for the mother, bringing benefits of an emotional, cognitive and chemical nature.
  10. The most obvious one, a fetus is a human being in development. It will never become anything other than human. Even a first trimester fetus will have fully developed arms, legs, ears, facial features, sex organs and a functioning heart, as well as sufficient neurological development to feel pain. A parasite is not a human and never will be.

SLED:   Size, Level of development, Environment, Dependency

Abortionists and Pro-Choice supporters try to unjustly discriminate against, and rationalize away the inalienable rights & value of a pre-born baby by false logic.

SLED is an acronym for the 4 strongest arguments in favor of life and human rights for pre-born babies.

Size      There is a continuum of growth from the moment of fertilization to human adulthood (approx. age of 19 years of age).  Some people  are only 4 ft. tall, while others are 7 ft. tall.  There is no logic for choosing an arbitrary point at which we become human.

Level of Development      Similar to size, our capabilities (strength, intelligence, knowledge, awareness, emotional maturity, wisdom, etc.) grow on a continuum from fertilization through all our life.  There is no logic for choosing an arbitrary point at which we become human.

Environment      The fertilized egg or pre-born baby is inside a special environment of the mother's womb for its first 9 months, separated from the "real world" by the 7" of the birth canal.  During this 9 months, the baby continuously breathes in & out its amniotic fluid.  An astronaut, sky diver, scuba diver, swimmer, cave explorer, hard rock miner, and others are in special environments too; but are not eligible to be killed nor lose their humanity while in those special environments.

Dependency     A fertilized egg and pre-born baby are dependent upon its mother to protect and provide for them during the 9 month pregnancy.  By having sex, the mother has responsibility for the pregnancy she caused, aided, or acquiesced towards.  A guardian cannot turn a blind eye to a life threatening situation of its ward; a duty of care is owed. Senior citizens, accident victims, the sick, infants, and toddlers are all dependent upon 1 or more caregivers; and cannot be arbitrary killed nor have their human rights taken away.  Civilized society must protect the weak.

For more info, see SLED

Final Arguments

Finally, pregnancy is a temporary inconvenience for the mother at worst, as she can put her baby up for adoption after the birth of the baby.  Do we allow parents to kill or abandon their children because its difficult, the child will have a difficult life, or parents change their mind about being a parent?  For similar reasons, a pre-born baby must be allowed to continue.

The man contributed half of the genetic material that formed the baby, so it isn't just the woman's decision about what happens to a pre-born baby.  If rape or incest caused the pregnancy, by all means punish the perpetrator, but the pre-born baby that may result is innocent of all crimes, and should not be punished for the crimes of its parent.

A few facts on a Pre-Born baby:

  • At Day 1 after egg fertilization, a pre-born baby's brain begins to develop.
  • At Day 14, any monozygotic twins have already formed, so we have 1 or more unique individuals hereinafter.
  • After 16 days the neural tube (precursor of spinal cord and brain) has formed.
  • At 22 days, a pre-born baby's heart begins to beat.
  • By Week 5, the first spinal nerve synapses begin to form.
  • At Week 8, the heart is completely formed.
  • By 12 weeks, the baby can display muscle reflexes, and respond to environmental stimuli.
  • A healthy baby begins sucking their thumb at 12 weeks after fertilization.
  • Pre-born babies of 21 weeks gestation have survived birth and are now healthy toddlers.
  • Somewhere around Week 20 to 24, pain is felt and responded to by pre-born baby.
  • Late trimester babies can respond to familiar sounds (eg. mother's heartbeat) and smells (ie. its own amniotic fluid). 
  • Anthony Kenny argues that a pre-born baby individualism can be derived from everyday beliefs and language and one can legitimately say "if my mother had had an abortion six months into her pregnancy, she would have killed me" then one can reasonably infer that at six months the "me" in question would have been an existing person with a valid claim to life. Since division of the zygote into twins through the process of monozygotic twinning can occur until the fourteenth day of pregnancy, Kenny argues that individual identity is obtained at this point and thus abortion is not permissible after two weeks.
  • Some argue that human life is only unique and obtains personhood based upon consciousness, capacity to feel pain, ability to communicate, reasoning, self-motivation, self-awareness, brain waves or higher brain functions, rationality, and autonomy.  All or most of these proposed criteria fail to contrast a pre-born baby from a 1 yr old baby, senior citizen, or similar (ie. if those reasons are alleged to be adequate to prevent the killing of a newly born infant,  2 yr old toddler, senior citizen, accident victim in a reversible coma, etc.; then those same reasons should be adequate to prevent the killing of a pre-born baby).
  • Pregnancies that threaten the mother's life, or involved incest, or rape represent less than 2% of all abortions.

Alexander Tsiaras helped develop the technology of micro-photography via endoscope, and micro-MRI visualization.  He has applied these techniques to the entire 9 months of a baby's development inside the mother's body, producing the following 10 minute video of that 9 month process.  Watch & learn about God.


What Does God Say About All This?

Before the first abortion occurred, God knew that wicked humans would dream up a wicked solution to solve or hide his sexual sin.

God is all about life and truth.

Satan is all about death and sin. Guess where abortion originated from, and who constantly supports abortion?

God's objection to abortion is demonstrated by the Bible.  The key verses are as follows:

 [James 4:17 KJV] 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth [it] not, to him it is sin.
In other word, we sin if we know and turn a blind eye towards the sin, rather than rebuke it and fight against it.

[Psa 138:8 KJV] 8 The LORD will perfect [that which] concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, [endureth] for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
God made us at conception, then turned over His handiwork to our moher's womb.

[Psa 139:13-16 NIV] 13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
God created each of us, and our entire lives were written about in God's Book of Life before we were born.

[Jhn 10:10 KJV] 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.
God creates life and truth.  The thief (ie. Satan) comes to steal, lie, & kill.

[Jer 1:5 KJV] 5 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.
God knew all about us, each and every one of us, before He created us with His spark of life at conception.

[Gal 1:15 KJV] 15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,
God created each of us for a purpose in this world.  When the baby is killed, the world loses the planned benefits from that baby, and God's good works are stymied.

[Exo 20:13 KJV] 13 Thou shalt not kill.
This includes babies and the un-born.
[Exo 21:22 KJV] 22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart [from her], and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges [determine].
If a man injures a pregnant woman, and the un-born baby dies but the woman lives, then the husband of the pregnant woman may punish the negligent man as he sees fit, and the Court may fine the accused man also.

[Exo 21:23 KJV] 23 And if [any] mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
If the pregnant woman dies or is seriously injured from the incident [Exodus 21:22, see above], then the accused man is punished on an equal basis.

[Luk 1:15 KJV] 15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
God and the Holy Ghost is involved in conception from conception.

[Gen 25:21-23 KJV] 21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she [was] barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If [it be] so, why [am] I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD. 23 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations [are] in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and [the one] people shall be stronger than [the other] people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
God knows what is going on inside every womb.
[Mat 1:18 KJV] 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
God can conceive a child inside a woman's womb without a man's involvement.

Conclusion


We therefore conclude that abortion is wrong, and needs to stop.

Why Christianity?

Christians are accused of arrogance, judgemental attitudes, and exaggeration when we insist that Christianity and Jesus Christ is fully sufficient in of itself, and exclusively the only true religion.

Nobody needs anything more than Jesus Christ.

For example, a convicted thief met Jesus Christ while they were beside each other; each on their own cross of crucifixion.  There was no time for baptism, prayers, communion, nor any other religious dogma.  The thief accepted that Jesus was the Son of God, and asked Jesus to remember him when Jesus reached Heaven.  Jesus assured the thief that he would be with Jesus in Heaven.  Simple as that.

Christianity is exclusive.  That means that only Christianity offers a guaranteed entrance into Heaven for all those who truly believe in Jesus.  Of course, true believer follow God's Laws, and Jesus' teachings, and do not chronically practice sin.

Jesus performed miracles so that people would recognize Him as God.  The Bible describes 37 miracles, and states in John 21:25 that many more were done, beyond these 37 miracles.

There are 44 prophecies in the Old Testament which predicted and described the life of Jesus Christ (see Bible37Miracles44PropheciesOfJesusChrist ).  These prophecies were made during a period from 4,000 BC to 150 BC.  These Old Testament prophecies are supported by the historical writings by Prophets, first and second hand witnesses of the life of Jesus Christ (Jesus' Apostles, Disciples, and others), as well as Roman, Greek, Jewish, and other historians who were alive at that time.

By all of this evidence, it is reasonable to conclude all of the objective evidence points to Jesus Christ being a real, historical person who did numerous miracles, claimed to be God, convinced thousands of people that He was God, lived a righteous life, made numerous prophecies that all came true, was falsely convicted, crucified, died, was buried, and ascended to Heaven 3 days after His death.

To conclude anything else is to ignore the strong, irrefutable objective facts that we have in our possession today.

If someone performs miracles and rises from the dead, I have made a personal policy decision to believe them when they claim to be God.  I suggest you do likewise.

Other World Religions

Muslims are required to do continual prayers and good works.  Islam claims that Allah takes note of all events in a person's life, assigning weights (good or bad) to every event, then Allah decides if a person has done sufficient good works to warrant heaven.  You never know, until it's too late, how Allah will decide your case.

Hindu claims reincarnation, but who decides if you get to move up or down; worm, dog, bird, human, or something else.  In the end, you can cycle around and around forever, never exiting from the reincarnation cycle.

Atheism is a belief in the empty null set, that no God exists; one shot through life, then nothing.  Agnostics aren't sure about God, and can continuously raise another doubt to procrastinate their final decision about God still longer.  Either way, they get to do as they please with no absolute limits on their thoughts, words, or deeds; except as they choose to self-impose.

We have discussed 3 major religions, there are 4 more to consider for a total of 7 major world religions.

No other world religion offers what Christianity offers.

Some religions make spurious, non-verifiable claims.  Only Christianity has the Bible to support and verify all claims made.

If it sounds too good to be true, it likely is untrue.  Buyer beware of non-Christian religions!

Comparison Shopping

With the power of the Internet, people can easily do comparison shopping.  You can more easily find the product, style, colour, features, price, and other characteristics that you seek without leaving home.  While you may compare Walmart vs. Amazon, is it OK to compare all the world religions before choosing one?

I am not sure if it's a sin to compare all the different religions before choosing one specific religion to follow.  However Christianity is not a smorgasbord, where you can pick or choose what goes on your plate, for your own customized version of Christianity.

If you try to pick and choose the aspects of Christianity you like, and reject the parts you don't like, then you are creating your own false god; not the God of the Bible. A "cult" is defined as a religion that does not accept all Biblical doctrine, or adds additional doctrines to the Bible.

Mormons claim they believe in Jesus Christ, but the Mormon Jesus, as described in the Book of Mormon and other Mormon doctrine is not the same Jesus as described in the Bible.

Muslims claim to believe in the Prophet Jesus Christ.  However the Jesus described in the Qu'ran is not the same as the Jesus described in the Bible.  Allah is not the same as God of the Bible.

Worshiping a non-Bible Jesus is blasphamy.  Creating your own custom designed god is also blasphemy, and contrary to the 2nd Commandment (see Exodus 20:3):

Thou shalt have no other gods before Me [God].

True Christians believe in:
  • the Jesus Christ described in the Bible
  • the teachings of Jesus Christ described in the Bible, and
  • the Commandments of God as described in the Bible (see the 20 Commandments for Christians).
Full stop, no additions, no deletions.  The New Testament describes all of this.  If you're missing one of more of these,  you are not a True Christian; you're a mirage, a make-believe Christian, a false Christian, an imposter.

Fake Christians

Jesus can see all of your heart, mind, body, soul, and spirit.  Jesus knows if you are a True Christian, or a fake.  In Matthew 7:20-23, Jesus Christ said:
"Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, 'Lord, Lord', shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in Heaven.  Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?'  
And then will I profess unto them, 'I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.'  "
Iniquity is unrepented, chronic sin.  Iniquity is deadly.  Iniquity annuls your status of "Born Again".  Those who practice iniquity will be thrown into the Lake of Fire, to be burned and tormented for ever and ever.

Contrasting with the above, when True Christians reach Heaven, True Christians will hear Jesus Christ say something similar to Matthew 25:23:
 "Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."

Buying The Whole, Indivisible Jesus Christ

Jesus believed, quoted from, and included the Old Testament in His teachings.  In Matthew 5:17-18, Jesus said:
 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.  For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
If you profess that you believe in Jesus, and Jesus is described by the New Testament, and in the New Testament, Jesus supported and included the Old Testaments, then we conclude that believing in Jesus requires believe in both the Old Testament and the New Testament.  Therefore true Christians believe in the whole Bible.

If a sect, denomination, Pastor, Priest, or Minister adds or subtracts or denies all or part of the Bible, then they are not true Christians.

Properly Interpreting the Christian Bible

The Bible is an essential part of Christianity.  Therefore properly interpreting the Bible is essential.

However, everyone must regard the speaker, the intended audience, and proper context of the Bible, so as to rightly divide the Word as 2 Timothy 2:15 says:

"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

We don't impose definitions upon the Bible, we let the Bible define itself.  We don't propose interpretations in one verse that conflict with other verses.  We seek two or three witnesses to consistently agree so as to settle Biblical doctrine.

Biblical word study and doctrine takes hard work, patience, logic, and in depth study to apprehend the infinite nature of God in our insufficient mortal minds.

God will reveal the important aspects, while the finer points may remain mysteries.

While we can apprehend the essentials about God, we won't be able to fully comprehend God.  That's where faith comes in.

Act Now While You Still Can

There isn't much time left, as the Great Tribulation will soon begin (sometime between now & Nov. 1, 2019 ???).

Every second, approximately 2 people die somewhere on Earth (approximately 164,000 people per day).  Their sudden, unexpected death is likely a shock to the ones affected.

Once you die, it's too late to accept Jesus as your Saviour.  Procrastination is fatal to the infinite power of eternity.  A big mistake!

If you aren't Born Again before you die, you are guaranteed a 1-way ticket to Hell.

I don't want you to go to Hell.  I am a good and faithful Watchman, who wants to warn you of the danger so I don't have your blood on my hands.  If you don't heed the Watchman's warning, your blood will be on your own hands.

Come to Jesus.  Come today.  Come now, before it's too late.

Here is Ravi Zacharia speaking at the Mormon Temple about the sufficiency and exclucivity of Jesus Christ and Christianity (55 minutes):

  2. Righteousness, then
  3. Worship
