THE END TIMES

Prophesies Pertaining To Our Days

The Fall Of Mankind

     In the Word of God it is written:

     ... "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'   This is the first and greatest commandment.”

Matthew 22:37-38 (NIV)

     And we are also warned by the Lord, in his Word:

     “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth.  I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.  For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.'  Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.”

Matthew 10:34-39 (NIV)

     The prophet Moses warned us several times in the Word of God, not to add to the laws that were mandated by the Lord or to remove any portion therein; otherwise, we would be cursed with a multitude of afflictions. (Deuteronomy 28:15-68) In the book of Revelation, the apostle and prophet John, warns us as well. (Revelation 22:18-19) There is not a religious organization or person that’s innocent of violating this law, because whether we add to the laws or remove the laws, in word or indeed, we are guilty.  We cannot pick and choose which laws we want to obey.

     When the children of Israel were exiled to Babylon, during the destruction of the first temple, the priests began adding additional laws and traditions to the teachings of Moses, when they wrote the Talmud.  Since then, a mountain of laws has been added to the Laws of Moses, by the teachers of the law.  The teachers of Judaism have determined that there are 613 laws in The Word of God and they have justified that by adding theses additional laws, the children of Israel might be more cautious in obeying the Word of God.  In other words, if the speed limit is fifty-five miles per hour, it would be better to drive fifty miles per hour and not break the law.  However, if one were to take into consideration all of the laws that have since been added to the Laws of Moses, one might ask:  Are we really driving five miles below the speed limit or is it possible that we are only driving five miles per hour now?  Many of the children of Israel have departed from the Jewish faith, because they cannot or will not carry the burdens that the teachers of the law have created.  If you practice Judaism and are willing to be honest with yourself, consider this: How have you treated the dress clerk or the waitress in your neighborhood lately and what kind of a mess did you leave behind, for them to clean up?  Were you tight fisted when you left a tip?  Did you even bother to leave a tip?  How many times have you said something that’s unkind about someone else, gossiped, or even cursed another human being?  Have you withheld something that’s due to someone else?  Have you practiced deception or stolen?  Have you been faithful with your spouse, whether in words or in deeds?  How many times have you committed any of these offenses since last Yom Kippur?  Now, how many times have you kissed the Mezuzah in the last month or counted the minutes between the consumption of a meat and dairy product?  How many refrigerators and dishwashers do you own?  How many sets of dishes do you use, for the sake of obeying your traditions?

     Although the Chumash (the five books of Moses) contains a portion of the Word of God, most of the commentaries included therein are presumptuous.  The Word of God is meant to be accepted at face value and it is foolish to read so much into every letter, word, and sentence.  It is not necessary to dissect the Word of God or read between the lines.  So much time is wasted in trying to analyze the Word of God and analyzing and re-analyzing the commentaries that the focus is lost on the teachings of the Word of God itself.  The leaders and teachers of the law were wrong, when they added additional laws to the Laws of Moses and compelled the children of Israel to obey them.

     I believe that so much time is wasted by studying the Talmud, the Mishnah, the Gemarah, and the commentaries in the Chumash that the heart of the message, in the teachings of Moses, and the rest of the prophets; especially the remaining prophets, has been forsaken.  And I fear that because of this:  Too many of the children of Israel are unmindful of the prophesies pertaining to these final days, and they will find themselves facing the tribulation unprepared.  The majority of people, who believe in the Messiah, want the Messiah to return; however, very few people understand how serious the tribulation will be and only a few people will ultimately survive and witness his return.

     The teachers of the law were mistaken, when they were concerned about the placement of dots and vowels in the Word of God, while it was translated.  The Lord chose the children of Israel to be an example for the rest of the world and the Lord wanted the world to learn about him.  It was the law itself that the Lord did not want defiled.

     The Jewish leaders during the time of Christ were jealous of Jesus’ popularity; they did not believe in him or understand his purpose.  Jesus did not abolish the Laws of Moses and only the law of sacrifice (for the forgiveness of sins), was replaced. Jesus became the ultimate and perfect sacrifice that would replace the imperfect sacrifices that were offered by men, year after year, for the forgiveness of sin.  After the Lord was sacrificed, died, and then resurrected; the early Christians were afraid of the Roman government, because they were severely persecuted for their beliefs.  The Roman government had to be appeased, in order to continue the teachings of Christianity.  By pouring the guilt on the children of Israel, for the crucifixion of Christ, the Romans appeared innocent.  In truth, every person since the time of Adam has been guilty of sin, and we all have the blood of Christ on our hands.  Jesus submitted himself, in order to be crucified, so that our sins would be washed away by his blood; if we believed in him and repented of our sins and sought to walk according to the teachings of Moses and the prophets, in the Word of God.

     The members of the Messianic faith believe that they are closer to the truth, and they are partially correct, because they believe in the Laws of Moses and the Holy Trinity. However, they are still clinging to too many of the teachings and practices that are taught by the teachers of the law, and not to the original Laws of Moses.

     I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing.  He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.  And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.  You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.  If you love me, you will obey what I command.  And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. ...

John 14:12-17 (NIV)

     The Catholic Church was wrong when they taught that you can pay penance for your sins.  You cannot bribe the Lord for the forgiveness of your sins.  It is unlawful to bow down to any image, including the images of the saints, and when you bow down to an image on a tree trunk, you are still committing idolatry.  You are not supposed to pray to the Virgin Mary or any other saint, because they cannot answer your prayers and they will not intercede for you.  Whenever you pray to anyone other than Almighty God the Holy Father, through his son, you rob the glory of Almighty God the Holy Father and his son,

and give it to mortal human beings.

     The children of Israel are wrong too, when they pray at the tombs/graves of the patriarchs, prophets, and rabbi's; because those, whom they pray to, cannot answer their prayers or intervene for them.

     For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine.  Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.  They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NIV)

     The children of Israel broke the law, when they added additional laws to the Laws of Moses.  But the Christians broke the law, when they abolished the laws altogether.  The Christians know the Ten Commandments, but they refuse to obey them and they lack the wisdom to understand that all of the laws and decrees that are written in the Word of God define the Ten Commandments.  One cannot understand what it means to obey the Ten Commandments, until they have studied the law and the prophets, and incorporated them into their lives every day.  The prophesy has been fulfilled in 2 Timothy, because you are the ones who enjoy having your ears tickled.  You would rather believe that you are saved by grace and that you will not be held accountable to the law.  Augustine (354-430 CE) and every other teacher since his time have been tickling your ears!  In the book of Matthew, the first lesson Jesus taught:

     “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.  I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.”

Matthew 5:17-18 (NIV)

     And in the book of James we are taught that we are saved by works and by faith:

     What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds?  Can such faith save him?  Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food.  If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?  In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. But someone will say, “*You have faith; **I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.  You believe that there is one God.  Good!  Even the demons believe that—and shudder.  You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? ... As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

James 2:14-26 (NIV)

*Those that practice the Christian teachings of today.

**Those that practice the teachings of Judaism; however, they have rejected the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.

     Works (deeds) are walking in the way of the Lord; by obeying the commandments, laws, and decrees in the Word of God.  True repentance is studying the law, recognizing your sins, and forsaking them.  If you believe that you are not obligated to obey all of the laws that are written in the Word of God or if you believe that you can approach an altar of the Lord and ask Jesus Christ to come into your life, yet reject the Word of God and the Laws of Moses; then you have been deceived.  If you believe that you have been filled with the Holy Spirit and have the power to speak in *tongues and you speak gibberish, instead of bilingual, or if you believe that disrupting service by rolling in the aisles with laughter or with habitual and obtrusive amen’s, originates from the Holy Spirit―you are wrong.

*Please refer to 1 Corinthians 14:6-25, if you wish to understand the gift of tongues.

     A majority of Christian leaders sincerely believe and teach that it is unnecessary to observe the law; however, they have been deceived and they have deceived you too.  Unless you have an understanding of the history of the early church and the development of the Word of God; you would not know that the spiritual leaders in the early church tampered with the teachings of some of the apostles; in particular—Paul.  Some of the them used Paul's name in order to validate their own teachings; because they did not fear the Lord, like the children of Israel did, and because of the hardness of their hearts; they wanted to isolate themselves from the Mosaic law and the teachings of Christ, and continue living their lives according to the manner in which they were accustomed to.  The leaders of Islam made the same mistake when they forsook the Word of God, and compiled their own teachings in the Qur’an.  If you study the writings of Paul, you will notice discrepancies in his teachings.  You will discover a change in the writing format with each book.  You will also find teachings that contradict the Laws of Moses.  Please do not base your faith on one or two or even several scriptures.  In order to understand the Word of God and the Laws of Moses, the prophesies and the teachings of Jesus, and the Apostles; all of the Word of God must be studied and taken into consideration.  You cannot begin to understand the New Testament, without first acquiring a sound understanding of the Old Testament.      

     It is premature to refer to oneself as Born Again, A Latter Day Saint, or Messianic; because the final prophesies have not been fulfilled yet.  Only those who *experience the rapture will be the true “Born Again-Latter Day Saints.” Then they will receive the “Messianic” teaching when the Lord returns to earth.

*Whether one has previously passed away or still remains alive, when the Messiah returns. (Matthew 24)

         One day while I was living on my farm, I thought that I would like to learn more about the Islamic faith, because at that time I lacked this knowledge.  I wanted to understand the Muslim people, their heritage, and ideology.  After finishing my chores, I went to the city, and I purchased a copy of the Qur’an.  Later that same evening, in a dream, the Lord forbade me from reading it.  The Lord said, “There are many writings in this world, but some of them are good and some of them are bad, and some people will take a grain of truth and use it, in order to try to validate the bad.”  Then the Lord warned me not to read the Qur’an and the following day I returned the book.  The Lord forbade me from reading the Kabala for the same reason.  Because the Lord forbade me from reading the Qur’an, my knowledge of it remains minimal; however, it is my understanding that the prophet Mohammed did not have the ability to read or write and he did not write the Qur’an.  The Qur’an was compiled by his followers, approximately one hundred and fifty years later, and I am not sure how faithful they remained to the teachings of Muhammad or the Lord.  It is also my understanding that the Qur’an is based upon human ideas and reasoning, which can be altered by the most recent prophets, depending upon their latest inclination.  If the teachings of the Qur’an contradict the Word of God; then, it cannot be valid.  Also, because Satan is capable of disguising himself, and he is the father of deception, one must be very careful of what one believes.

     In the news, there was a story about a public school in the United States that was handing out pamphlets, forbidding girls from marrying Muslim men.  When the school was confronted about their policy; the school officials applied freedom of speech as their defense, and dismissed the law of separation of church and state.  They said that Mohammed was an evil man and a false prophet, who was possessed by the devil. However, I believe that the Lord stirred Mohammed’s heart and together they gathered a scattered people, who like many other nations before them; believed that trees, shrubs, and rocks possessed spirits. (For example:  The Germanic Tribes) Mohammed taught the tribes monotheism:  The belief in One True God.  He also taught his followers to be tolerant and patient of others; especially from the Jewish and Christian faiths, or the children of the book. However, Mohammed was also very human, and he became discouraged when the children of Israel refused to cling to his ideology.  Shortly thereafter, Mohammed became critical and even vengeful toward anyone who rejected his beliefs.  I believe that the Lord chose Mohammed, as a prophet, in order to teach the clans of the Middle East about Almighty God the Holy Father.  I am certain of this, because the Lord has shown this to me.  However, because of what the Lord has shared with me concerning the Qur’an, I cannot help but question its validity.  I do not believe that the Lord would permit another teaching to supersede the Word of God; especially, when the laws in the Qur’an are inconsistent with the Laws of Moses, and they are changed frequently depending upon the latest revelation.  I know that the Lord is constant and never changing.  I also question why the followers of Islam are still kissing a stone for the forgiveness of their sins, if they believe in God and forbid idolatry.  

     I am aware of the hatred that exists between the Sunni and the Shiite Muslims.  I know that hatred is taught, even at an early age, to the children of those who practice Fundamental Islam, toward the children of Israel.  And I know that a powerful hatred has developed that is directed toward Christians.  I do not believe that the seeds of hatred were planted in the tent of Abraham.  I believe Abraham loved Sarah and Hagar and they loved him.  I do not believe Ishmael and Isaac hated each other.  If you will recall:  They came together, respectfully, and buried their father.  I do not believe that hatred is the way of the Lord; because hatred is an instrument that is used by Satan, in order to divide us from one another and the Lord.

     One evening I had the following vision:  I saw a pair of hands that looked strong, like the hands of a man.  Then the hands lifted up a book with the title, “The Book of Mormon.”  Next, without any effort at all, the hands tore the book completely in half. While the book was being torn, I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, “This book may have been written by a spirit, but it was not by my own!”  Then, several months later, I had this vision:  I saw a pile of mail with the return address, “The Latter Day Saints.”  And I heard the Lord say, “This is junk mail!”  All of the documents that have been written by Joseph Smith and his followers, the Mormons, are false.  The Lord prophesied in his word that there would be false prophets, and he would permit them in order to try our hearts.  You cannot be baptized in order to save another person’s soul and every person is held accountable for their own sins.  If a person lives; it will not be because of your actions, but by the grace of the Lord.  If you are married on earth and your marriage is sustained until death, then your marriage is already sealed in heaven and you do not have to be married in a Mormon temple.  The Book of Life is still sealed in heaven and only the Son of God has the authority to open it.  When all of the prophesies have been fulfilled, and its time―the Lord will do so.  No one, other than the Lord, has the wisdom or the authority to say who is written in or out of the Book of Life.

     Most members of the Mormon religion would testify of their faith, in the Prophet Joseph Smith and his teachings.  However, I know that they are not the true "Latter Day Saints."  The Mormons are not the first people who have been deceived by an evil spirit and they will not be the last.  (Revelation 13:11-18) We have been taught to test the spirits, because the Lord allows this in order to see who will fear the Lord, and remain faithful to his law.

     If one practices a faith that believes in reincarnation, this is wrong.  There is a *resurrection; however, there is no such thing as reincarnation.  You are not offered a multitude of times in order to perfect your life.

*The resurrection is also referred to as “Born-Again,” in the Word of God.  Please refer to the book of John, chapter 3:1-8.

     All teachings should be accepted with a grain of salt, until you have obtained enough knowledge of the Word of God, so that you can discern between the truth and fiction.  

     In any teaching, of any faith, if it does not line up with the Word of God and the Laws of Moses; then it is not of God, but of another spirit.

     But mark this:  There will be terrible times in the last days.  People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness, but denying its power.  ...

2 Timothy 3:1-5 (NIV)

     When I was a young girl, growing up in the south, there was a popular contest men competed in:  They would chew tobacco and see who could spit the wad, the furthest, into a spittoon.  When I think about the various religious ideologies of the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim faith; I feel as though I am witnessing another spitting contest.  There are so many people who believe that they are better and more righteous than their brother.  So many people believe that their faith is superior and everyone else is inferior.  However, the unfortunate truth is:  We are all wrong to one extent or the other, and we have all been deceived, because every generation has fallen further and further away from the true teachings of the Lord.  Every generation has tampered with the Word of God, and either added more laws to the Laws of Moses, altered the laws, or abolished the laws altogether, and now we are reaching the climax of the end times prophesied in the Word of God.  2 Timothy 3:1-5 prophesies that during the last days the evil of this last generation would exceed all the previous generations before it.  Why was it that we could not comprehend our own wickedness?  This is because we have all been deceived and we are deluded by our ignorance, so that we have become steeped in sin.  Why did this happen?  It happened because we have each allowed it to happen.  

Throughout the ages, our political and spiritual leaders have used intimidation, humiliation, and fear in order to make us believe that what they taught was absolute and came from God.  Most people were satisfied listening to them and have never studied the Word of God for themselves.  No one questioned their spiritual leaders or teachers.  Each of us has been like a blind lamb, following blind sheep, and if we do not begin to question the teachings of this world and study the Word of God for ourselves; then, another prophesy will be fulfilled, because we will all be like blind sheep led to the slaughter. (Matthew 15:13-14)

     Though much may be permissible, not everything is approved by the Lord.  When it is permitted; the Lord allows this in order to try our hearts, so that the Lord may see who will truly love him, respect him, and obey him.  You see, since the beginning of time; the Lord has been creating us, watching over us, and trying our hearts.  The Lord has been culling his flocks and his herds, and we have been involved in a selection process; so that one day, the Lord would be able to dwell amongst those whom have been willing to submit to his leadership and willing to walk according to his word.

     The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

Romans 1:18-19 (NIV)
