There must be war
~~ There Must Be War ~~
Isaiah 58:1. Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
20. But the wicked are like the troubled sea; when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
God has commissioned his people, his mighty men of war, to lift up their voice like a ‘trumpet’ and show his people their sins. Now those ‘ministers’ and ‘church people’ who do not believe one should expose sin and false doctrine are not the ones who can do this work. They cannot cry aloud, they desire to spare the sinners and liars for this makes them popular with the people and gives them an advantage over them.
They cannot use the trumpet of God. They are afraid to show the people their sins. Is there any peace to the wicked? No. God said there is no peace to them.
Those who believe lies or false doctrine are under a heavy bondage. They desire peace but have none. What can set them free? Only one thing. Jesus said you shall know the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall set you free. So only the truth can set anyone free. But when a true minister of God comes into the midst and lifts up their voice like the trumpet of God and begin to reveal TRUTH and show the people their sins, then they begin to cry PEACE where there is no PEACE.
There can be no peace so long as one is in sin. There can be no peace so long as lies prevail. The gates of hell are the false shepherds who teach lies. They cry peace when there is no peace. They smooth the people over with their slick tongues. And the people love to have it so. You can tell them by the fact of their love for having the ‘chief seats’ in the synagogues. Jesus himself told us this is one of their traits. They set a big fancy chair, a throne, up in front of the Babylon Churches so they can be gazed upon and admired. They set themselves up above the other members of the same church.
Psm. 55: 8. I would hasten my escape from the stormy wind and tempest.
9. Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
(This goes back to the time of Nimrod. There was violence and strife in the world. So God divided their tongue and scattered them. Even today there is always a division between the workers of iniquity and the true ministers or saints of God. They are divided. They speak a ‘different’ language.)
10. Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: Iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.
11. Wickedness is in the midst thereof: Oppression and guile depart not from its streets. (This speaks of the Babylon church, the harlot against God. In her midst are always wickedness and oppression and guile.)
12. For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: Neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13. But it was thou, a man mine equal, My companion, and my familiar friend.
14. We took sweet counsel together; We walked in the house of God with the throng.
15. Let death come suddenly upon them, Let them go down alive into hell; For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them.
This is Jesus speaking in prophecy about Judas, the betrayer. They went into the temple together. He pretended to be of Jesus and his friend. But war was in his heart.
20. He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: He hath profaned his covenant.
21. His mouth was smooth as butter, But his heart was war: His words were softer than oil, Yet were they drawn swords.
This is still speaking of the Judases. Their mouth is smoother than butter and softer than oil. Yet they are drawn swords. This is the false teachers and preachers of today. They speak with the smooth, soft voices to soothe the people to sleep and will not show them their sins. This is the enemy of their souls, for it will send them to destruction.
Pro. 5: 3. For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
Now see that this strange woman is the same as these false ministers. So this is the false church. Her gates lead to hell. Her gates are the false teachers who cry peace and lies come out of their mouths. Her mouth is smoother than oil; same as the betrayer of Jesus. So these smooth speaking ministers, who will not lift up their voices like a trumpet and show the people their sins are the betrayers of Jesus. They are the enemies of your soul. But their mouth is smooth, for they seek to please men and not God.
Jer. 6:13. For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
14. They have healed also the hurt of my people slightly, saying, peace, peace; when there is no peace.
[These false prophets and priests (our modern day preachers) were given to COVETOUSNESS. See they loved money. The love of money is the root of all evil. This is one of the easiest ways to know the wolves in sheep clothing. They take pay for doing the work of God. They are hirelings. They all deal falsely against the Word of God. But notice they cry peace, peace when there is no peace. There can be no peace as long as you believe lies and falsehoods.]
15. Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? Nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall; at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith Jehovah.
16. Thus saith Jehovah, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk therein.
[Now he asked if these false teachers are ashamed of their ways. No, he said they are not at all ashamed. They love the wages of iniquity. But how did He tell them they could find the rest for their souls? By returning to the old paths wherein is the good way and walk in this way. So what is the old paths he is saying to get back to? The teaching of the Apostles. They were the first ones to have this peace and good way. They were the very first ones to have the rest to your soul. And what is the rest to your soul? Isa. 28 teaches that it is the speaking in tongues which is the evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost which came on the Day of Pentecost. So then going back to Pentecost, the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, is the only rest for your souls. This is the only way of peace. This is the old way God is telling you to get back to. There is no other way to rest and peace.]
17. And I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet; but they said, We will not hearken.
18. Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
19. Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.
Here God told them he had set watchmen over them saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. This trumpet is the same we started with = the true ministers lifting up their voice and showing you your sins. This is the true watchmen, the ones who show you your sins so you can find the right path. This path is the old way of the Apostolic Fathers. It is the rest to your souls Isaiah spoke of in chapter 28. He said with stammering lips and another tongue will you find this rest. But see the people said we will not hearken to the sound of this trumpet. And because of this God will bring evil upon this people because they will not hearken to his words.
So now I have shown you that there is no peace to the wicked and those who refuse His true Rest to the soul. So if one comes in with a smooth tongue and soft speech and tells you there is peace to you, know that this is an enemy to your soul. If there is no peace, then there must be war.
But the people want no war. Why? Because they are afraid and cannot fight. They have no truth to fight with. They have no strength to fight with. They are fearful and cannot stand on the front lines of the battle. Is there battle? Yes, indeed. There will be battle and war until the very end of time when Jesus will send his angels and separate the wheat and the tares; the sheep and the goats. He will draw the net in and divide the fish and cast away the bad. Then there will be peace for the true people of God. But not before. We have peace in our own souls, but out in the field there will be war until the end.
Read Judges six. It tells that God appeared to Gideon and told him to tear down the altar of Baal. So Gideon did this. Then the people of Baal came against Gideon and contended for Baal. Gideon told them if Baal be a god let him contend for himself. Then God told Gideon to go and deliver the people from those who held them in bondage, the Midianites.
Judges 7:1. Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and encamped beside the spring of Harod: and the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
2. And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.
3. Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
Here we see that God did not want a large crowd of people in this battle. This would be no glory to God. So he told Gideon to send those who were fearful back home. So if you are ‘fearful’ of the battle, you cannot do any good in the army of the Lord. Only those who have been given the spirit of the ‘lion’ will be able to go to this battle. And there must be war.
4. And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
5. So he brought down the people unto the water: and Jehovah said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.
6. And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
Here God gives the men the ‘water’ test. Unto what then were ye baptized? [Paul, in Acts 19].
See the men who bowed down to drink showed that they would not be watchful of the approaching enemy. They were not careful and would not be safe in the battle. But the men who lifted water up in their hands, keeping a watch for the enemy, and drank from their own hands like a dog, these were the ones who could go to the battle and bring deliverance. This left 300 men with Gideon. By these few God gave deliverance from the enemy.
7. And Jehovah said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let all the people go every man unto his place.
8. So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Israel every man unto his tent, but retained the three hundred men: and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
9. And it came to pass the same night, that Jehovah said unto him, Arise, get thee down into the camp; for I have delivered it into thy hand.
12. And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the sea-shore for multitude.
Just look at the huge host of people who were gathered against the people of God! Without number. So the enemy always has the huge crowd. God has only a few, for strait and narrow is the way which leads to eternal life and few there be that find it. Look around you. See the huge multitudes in the Babylon Churches. No matter what their denominations, they all believe essentially the same things. [They all pay their one preacher to rule over them; they all say God came to earth in flesh; they all say you must ‘go to church’ to be saved; they all say you must tithe; almost all of them say all there is to being saved is just believing. See? All lies.]
They will all band together against Gods true people, as these Midianites and Amalekites and the children of the east did here against Israel.
16. And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.
Here Gideon divided them into three groups-- 100 to each group. They were given trumpets (see this is the trumpet we started with in Isaiah. This trumpet is the message sounding out to show the people their sins.). And they had empty pitchers and torches within the pitchers. This shows the people of God emptied of themselves and the light of God inside us. These are the ones who can go to the battle against Satan and the walls of Babylon.)
17. And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do. (Doing as Gideon did is listening to their leader and all being in the same mind; agreement and equality.)
18. When I blow the trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, For Jehovah and for Gideon.
19. So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
20. And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands wherewith to blow; and they cried, The sword of the LORD and of Gideon.
21. And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.
22. And they blew the three hundred trumpets, and Jehovah set every man's sword against his fellow, and against all the host; and the host fled.
Here these men all blew their trumpets at the same time and broke their pitchers and gave a loud shout. This caused the enemy's army to flee away. This blowing the trumpets is the sounding of those seven trumpets in Revelation. This is the message of the witnesses of God who will be anointed with power from on high by the baptism of fire to bring the judgment. This will be the second true Church. The first one was with the Apostles. After them it went into seven church ages of darkness and loss of power. But at the end of this age, God will again anoint another true Church with power from on high.
We will then blow our trumpets and show the people their sins and brake down the walls of the whore Babylon. All her walls were daubed with untempered mortar. Her idols will fall down and we will burn them with fire.
What happened here with Gideon is a type and showing what will happen at the end of this age as the true messengers of God lift up their voices like a trumpet to show the people their sins. It will cause the enemy to rise up against us and try to destroy us. But they cannot stand in the battle. And there must be war.
Jesus said the two grow together until the end of the world. This is the wheat and the tares. The sheep and the goats. The good and bad fish caught in the net. But at the end they will be separated. Until then there must be war. The two cannot agree. How can two walk together except they be agreed? The wheat can never agree with the tares. The true church can never agree with the Babylon whore church. So there will be wars until the end; so said Jesus. There must be war.
Jesus said there will always be kingdom against kingdom. This is the kingdom of Satan or Babylon against the kingdom of Jesus or the true Holy Ghost filled Christians, the true Jews.
Rev. 12:7. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels;
8. And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world; he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Now see that as long as the devil was allowed to dwell in heaven there was war? There must be war so long as Satan and his angels dwell among God’s people. We can never agree with them. There is no agreement between Satan’s temple and God’s temple. If you agree, then you will fall and become one of them. What fellowship hath light with darkness?
As soon as Satan was cast unto the earth he persecuted the true Church. Until he is destroyed from among the church, there must be war. If you cease to battle Satan and his ministers transforming themselves into ministers of light, then you will fall with them.
You must war with them until they are destroyed and cast out of the Church.
Truth is your only weapon. You absolutely must have the truth of God’s word to do battle with Satan. Jesus himself only used “ it is written”. Unless you can say it is written in what you say and teach then you teach lies and become a member of Satan’s army. You are thus warring with Jesus and his true Church. If you teach something, which is not written in the pure Word of God, then you teach, lies and are become an enemy of God and His true people.
So those of us who teach truth are the ones with the trumpet in our mouth. We are the ones who come to save you. We come to bring you the true peace. There is no peace to the wicked. Those who teach and believe lies are the wicked, for you call God a lie. When you teach contrary to His Word, you call Him a lie. Thus you joined the army of Satan.
If you go back to law or preach for money you become an enemy of God and joined the army of Satan. You think God does not battle? The Word is full of the battles of the Lord. The battle is not ours but the Lords.
Cont.
Psm. 24:3. Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place?
4. He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully. (Here it said that those who have not believed falsehood and have clean hands and a pure heart are the ones who shall ascend into the holy hill of God. So you had better be clean and know truth. So those of us who try to show you the way of cleanness and truth are in the battle of the Lord.)
5. He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6. This is the generation of them that seek after him, That seek thy face, even Jacob. Selah
7. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in.
8. Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.
These gates are the ones who teach the truth which the Apostles taught. See here that the LORD is mighty in battle. So how can one say we must not war? There must be war till Satan is cast into the lake of fire. Wherever Satan and the children of God exist together, there must be war. If you do not war with him, you join sides with him. If you can be at peace with him and his lies, then you are on his side.
Psm. 78:8. And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that set not their heart aright, And whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
9. The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle.
10. They kept not the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law;
11. And they forgat his doings, And his wondrous works that he had showed them.
See that these were rebellious, as were their fathers. The forgot the works of God during the days of the Apostles. This is prophecy or types of this. See that they were armed and carrying bows but they turned back in the day of battle.
The reason they turned back and could not battle is because they had forgotten His mighty doings and his wondrous works he had shown them in the days of the Apostles.
That is why you today cannot battle and do not want battle; you have forgotten the mighty works of God in the first church. You deny all the power. From such turn away.
Should we battle with Babylon? Read on.
Jer. 49:14. I have heard tidings from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.
This is prophecy of when we will destroy this Babylon Church of our day. We must rise up to the battle and tear down her walls so the spiritual true walls of New Jerusalem can be built again.
Jer. 50:22. A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
23. How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
This is prophecy all through these last chapters of Jeremiah of the destruction of this Babylon Church of our day. Read the whole chapters if you desire truth. Only the truth can set you free and give you peace in your soul.
Those of us who are now in the battle against her sins and lies are the ones who have heard the true voice of God in his Holy Word. We heard the call to battle and we rose up and went to war. There must be war.
42. They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
43. The king of Babylon hath heard the tidings of them, and his hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.
44. Behold, the enemy shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? And who will appoint me a time? And who is the shepherd that can stand before me?
[See here I told you we must have the spirit of the lion to be in the LORD’S army. This says that the people in this battle come up as lions against Babylon. That is the lion face on the living creature = the Christians.]
45. Therefore hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall drag them out; surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
46. At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth trembleth, and the cry is heard among the nations.
See here that this battle against Babylon is worldwide? It is heard among the nations.
Jeremiah 51:1. Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in Leb-kamai, a destroying wind.
2. And I will send unto Babylon strangers, that shall winnow her; and they shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
(These strangers who go against Babylon are the true Christians at war with Satan.).
3. Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his coat of mail: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.
4. And they shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.
5. For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, of his God, of Jehovah of hosts; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
6. Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be not cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of Jehovah's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompense.
Now you see here in verse 6, the same call which goes out in Revelation to flee or come out of Babylon. Why is it still repeated in Revelation if it is not at the end of time? This in Jeremiah is only prophecy for this time to come.
7. Babylon hath been a golden cup in Jehovah's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
The nations are mad on their idols. This is also in the Word. So it was Babylon which made her mad on her idols. These churches today are full of idol worship. They have their Santa clauses, their Easter bunnies, and all the other junk of the world. They are Babylon. They are the whore we are at war with. There must be war until the end.
8. Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: wail for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
9. We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country; for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
See here again is the command from God to FORSAKE Babylon.
19. The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
20. Thou art my battle-axe and weapons of war: and with thee will I break in pieces the nations; and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;
This tells that Jesus and his people are God’s battle-axe for this war against Babylon. With us he will destroy this entire kingdom of Satan. All churches, which partake of idols and refuse the Holy Ghost and Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins, are part of the Babylon kingdom.
In Isaiah we are told that God sought for a man to stand in the gap and make up the hedge. Jesus was the one who did this. We his true followers also stand in the gap and make up the hedge. What is the hedge? It is the protection of God to his people. He sends his angels to stand and protect us. But he also sends his true ministers (the one preaching truth) to help protect you. So when you fight against the one who teach truth, you are fighting and warring against the army of God.
Does God have an army? Sure he does. Read on.
Joel 2:1. Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of Jehovah cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2. A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the dawn spread upon the mountains; a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.
3. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and none hath escaped them.
4. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so do they run.
5. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains do they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6. At their presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces are waxed pale.
7. They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like MEN OF WAR and they march every one on his ways, and they break not their ranks.
Now read the rest of this chapter. It tells of how the army of God, the second anointed witness, will destroy this kingdom of Babylon. We are at war with her. See that it said we blow the trumpet? That is what we started this message with, the people of God sounding the trumpet to show them their sins. Without this, there is only destruction for you. Come out of Babylon lest you be partakers of her plagues.
Obadiah 1:1. The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
This is also prophesy against Babylon. Let us go against her in battle. There must be war till they are destroyed out of the earth.
Is this thing of the trumpet and war in the New Testament? Sure it is. Read on:
1Cor. 14:8. For if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war?
See here again the trumpet sounding and the people preparing themselves for WAR is connected together. We must sound out a clear, truthful message. This is the sounding of the trumpet. It is not a literal musical instrument; it is a message being sounded. This message MUST show the people what sin is. It must show them their sins and compel them to give up their sins, repent, believe the true gospel, be converted and obey the Apostles. Repent and be baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, then live a holy, overcoming life until the end of you life. This is the only true way of salvation.
Unless you hear this trumpet message and obey it, destruction is headed your way by the mighty army of God. Yes God has a mighty army unto which he will very soon give the power and thunder out the command to go to battle against Babylon (whore church) and destroy everything which is connected with her. That is why you must come out of her and be not partakers of her sins, lest you also receive of her plagues, which are soon to come.
We, the true ministers of God today, have already heard this call to go against her to battle. We are already sounding out that trumpet message to show you your sins. Unless you hear, heed it and obey, you will be destroyed with her.
Rev. 9: 5. And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a man.
6. And in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it; and they shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them.
7. And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like unto gold, and their faces were as men's faces.
8. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as teeth of lions.
9. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to war.
I would like to use this whole chapter, but it is too much. Read it. This is the army of God going out. We are those locusts and those horses rushing to war. It is the same as in Joel 2. This is the plagues coming upon Babylon. The witnesses of God bring it. We are an army of both men and women. That is why it shows us to have the face of a man and hair like a woman. It shows both men and women in this mighty army of God. This is the same as Psm. 149. Read that chapter with this message. The saints of God will bring all the written judgments against Babylon, the whore church worshipping her idols of x-mas; green decorated trees, rabbits, eggs, new years watch night services, and all the rest of her mess. She is out there among the world selling everything from candy to cook books and chicken and anything else they can get their hands on. They even now have ball teams, go golfing to get money into their treasures and even hold yard sales.
They are in open rebellion to the words of Jesus who said Make not my Father’s house a house of MERCHANDISE.
How can you justify all this selling to get money for a ‘church’? It is not of God. It is of Satan. He is the father of lies and loves money. You are in rebellion to Jesus. I am sounding out that trumpet message right here in this message. You had better heed this warning. This came to me from Almighty God this morning. He put this message into my heart before I got up. I have not eaten today. It is now 1:30 pm. I have sat here all morning looking up Scriptures and writing this message to warn you to flee this Babylon mess. You will not hear. You will mock and scoff to your own destruction.
Wow be to the ones who turn a deaf ear to this message. It is a message from God, not me. If you fail to listen and obey and believe the truth you will forever be cut off from God. If you hold to your churches lies, their parties, x-mess celebrations, their other sins, you will be destroyed with her in that day. This is the trumpet message going out. It is to show you your sins and give you a chance to repent. If you fail to repent, the sword is set to fall upon you and cut you to pieces and grind you to power and the wind of destruction will blow you away.
Rev. 16: 13. And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs:
14. For they are spirits of devils, working signs; which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.
15. (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walked naked, and they see his shame.)
Now this evil spirit of Satan gathers all of Babylon together against the truth of God. They all go to war. Jesus comes as a thief right here. It is part of Joel 2. They come in at the windows as a thief. This is the people of God at war with Babylon. We are the coming of Jesus as a thief. It is not Jesus coming down in natural clouds and stealing away his bride as the whore church teaches. That is a foolish lie. It is just more of her poison. The army of God is the one who comes to you as a thief. It is Jesus Christ in us.
Rev. 20: 7. And when the thousand years are finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8. And shall come forth to deceive the nations which are in the Four Corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9. And they went up over the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down out of heaven, and devoured them.
10. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.
See after the 1,000 years reign of Christ on earth, the devil is again loosed and goes out to make war against the people of God. This proves that as long as Satan is alive anywhere there will be war. Light and darkness, truth and lies cannot agree. There must be war between the two until Satan is cast into the lake of fire. Then and only then will there be everlasting peace. Then war will be no more. But do not look for peace now. There must be war.
Can you, will you go to battle on the Lord’s side? If not, you are at war on Satan’s side. Everyone is in one or the other army. We are all either on the Lord’s side or on Satan’s side.
If you keep idol holidays or such things you are on Satan’s side. You are in his army, at war against the people of God who teach truth according to the WRITTEN WORD OF GOD.

New Covenant in Christ Jesus
It is the Sixth Seal appearance of the Lord with power and majesty (Re.6:12-17) which will lift the partial blindness of Israel (Rom.11:25). From that day forward, Israel will know that Christ Jesus is their Messiah, and Jer.31:31-34 and Heb.8:10-12 (below) will be fulfilled.
I answered with this: This was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost. It was prophesy in the days of the prophets. But it has already been fulfilled.
The Jews received the gospel preached to them first. Many of them were converted to Jesus before the Gentiles had their chance.
Jesus has made us both into one body, the new man, the Church. There will never be another. The New covenant he made with them was the New Testament. There will never be another one.
If people are still looking for this to be fulfilled, then they totally discredit the whole work of Jesus. He has already finished it. There will never be another covenant to anyone except the blood of Jesus ALREADY SHED. Larry said this:
Ga 3:28 - There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female:for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Ro 2:28 - Show Context
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Ro 2:29 - But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God
Ro 10:12 - For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
Ro 1:16 - For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Ac 15:9 - And put no difference between us( Jew) and them,( Gentile) purifying their hearts by faith.
Amen! We are one! One in Christ, no difference between the Jew and Greek as it is written in Romans...by Paul....when we believe....the power of God unto our salvation. Truth.

From: joieSent: 2/5/2004 11:44 AMEquality is the very heart of and essence of Christianity. It will be a glad day for the church world when and if they ever learn this great truth that we are all ONE = the same, or equals.
As long as anyone 'rules' over another, there is no oneness or equality. The rules for law and grace still prevail in the NT writings. You must still choose this day which 'tree' you will eat of.
If you choose to let the husband rule over the wife, you chose law. But if you choose to accept that we are one then you chose grace.
If you choose that a woman cannot pastor, preach or anything else, then you chose law. But if you see that there is no difference, then you chose grace.
If you choose that the Jew is something different and somehow more the 'chosen' people of God than the other Christians, then you are still blinded by law. by the law shall no flesh be justified.
You miss what I am calling Christianity. I am NOT speaking of these 'religions'. I am not speaking of these big churches. They are the whore against. God.
I am speaking of the true Christianity taught about in the Book of Acts. There is certainly very few of these kind in all the world.
Jesus said only a few will ever find the strait narrow way which leads to eternal life.
Do you listen to my speech? I speak against these false religions all the time.
I teach against all these 'churches' all the time. I KNOW they are not God's true people. I know they are liars and the hypocrites who lead souls to hell fire.
I know their paid preachers are the gates to hell. Those harlot churches are the gates to hell.
But there is still a true Christianity in which all are equals. I said equality is the heart of christianity. Jesus and Paul said we (true Christians, with the Baptism of the Holy ghost) are all ONE.
Unity is not visible today. for there are too many hirelings. too many false teachers. almost no one knows the real truth today. they are all on the wrong FOUNDATION. Until one is built on the right FOUNDATION, they will never learn any truth.
This is a long message. But you all need to study it.
There must be war:
Most people, who claim to be of God, never take a stand for anything or against anything. They just drift, hoping to keep 'peace' (or to be liked) by all sides.
This is not of God. Jesus said he that is not gathering, is scattering. you do one or the other. He that is not with me, is against me.
Some of the very members here, which I thought were surely Christians, turn and walk away when I join the BATTLE for the Lord.
What do you all think, war, is? What do you think God called us for? to twiddle our thumbs and play games with Satan's ministers, while they devour the sheep?
Seems that is what most people think. Oh, say they, you must not rebuke those little devils. must have sweet 'love' with everyone. and let them throw you off into hell?
Not me. Jesus said, rebuke them strongly, so they may learn not to blaspheme. His holy name is constantly being blasphemed in this site. How many of you pick up the sword of the Lord, and go to war with the enemy?
I see Larry doing this. Tweety sometimes gets into the battle. what about the rest of you?
Which side are you on?
where did all those who seemed to be on the Lord's side run to? Where are they? Why cannot they walk out into the battle and let the world know which side you are on?
I am on the side of JESUS CHRIST, AND NOT ONE BIT ASHAMED OF IT.
I WILL NOT STAND BY AND ALLOW HIS HOLY NAME TO BE BLASPHEMED BY DEVILS, AND THE PRECIOUS WORD OF GOD, THE KJV, WHICH HAS BLESSED ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE, LED ME, GUIDED ME, FED ME, AND PROMISED TO BRING TO ME TO THAT SAFE HAVEN OF ETERNAL LIFE, AND NOT LIFT MY VOICE
LOUD AND CLEAR
AGAINST THIS EVIL.
Jesus said if you are ashamed of me and my words, my Father shall be ashamed of you in the judgment.
Where will you be then, you who refuse to take up the sword and go to battle for the LORD?
Pro. 5: 3. For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
Now see that this strange woman is the same as these false ministers. So this is the false church. Her gates lead to hell. Her gates are the false teachers who cry peace and lies come out of their mouths. Her mouth is smoother than oil; same as the betrayer of Jesus. So these smooth speaking ministers, who will not lift up their voices like a trumpet and show the people their sins are the betrayers of Jesus. They are the enemies of your soul. But their mouth is smooth, for they seek to please men and not God.
~~ There Must Be War ~~
Isaiah 58:1. Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
20. But the wicked are like the troubled sea; when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
God has commissioned his people, his mighty men of war, to lift up their voice like a ‘trumpet’ and show his people their sins. Now those ‘ministers’ and ‘church people’ who do not believe one should expose sin and false doctrine are not the ones who can do this work. They cannot cry aloud, they desire to spare the sinners and liars for this makes them popular with the people and gives them an advantage over them.
They cannot use the trumpet of God. They are afraid to show the people their sins. Is there any peace to the wicked? No. God said there is no peace to them.
Those who believe lies or false doctrine are under a heavy bondage. They desire peace but have none. What can set them free? Only one thing. Jesus said you shall know the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall set you free. So only the truth can set anyone free. But when a true minister of God comes into the midst and lifts up their voice like the trumpet of God and begin to reveal TRUTH and show the people their sins, then they begin to cry PEACE where there is no PEACE.
There can be no peace so long as one is in sin. There can be no peace so long as lies prevail. The gates of hell are the false shepherds who teach lies. They cry peace when there is no peace. They smooth the people over with their slick tongues. And the people love to have it so. You can tell them by the fact of their love for having the ‘chief seats’ in the synagogues. Jesus himself told us this is one of their traits. They set a big fancy chair, a throne, up in front of the Babylon Churches so they can be gazed upon and admired. They set themselves up above the other members of the same church.
Psm. 55: 8. I would hasten my escape from the stormy wind and tempest.
9. Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
(This goes back to the time of Nimrod. There was violence and strife in the world. So God divided their tongue and scattered them. Even today there is always a division between the workers of iniquity and the true ministers or saints of God. They are divided. They speak a ‘different’ language.)
10. Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: Iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.
11. Wickedness is in the midst thereof: Oppression and guile depart not from its streets. (This speaks of the Babylon church, the harlot against God. In her midst are always wickedness and oppression and guile.)
12. For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: Neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13. But it was thou, a man mine equal, My companion, and my familiar friend.
14. We took sweet counsel together; We walked in the house of God with the throng.
15. Let death come suddenly upon them, Let them go down alive into hell; For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them.
This is Jesus speaking in prophecy about Judas, the betrayer. They went into the temple together. He pretended to be of Jesus and his friend. But war was in his heart.
20. He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: He hath profaned his covenant.
21. His mouth was smooth as butter, But his heart was war: His words were softer than oil, Yet were they drawn swords.
This is still speaking of the Judases. Their mouth is smoother than butter and softer than oil. Yet they are drawn swords. This is the false teachers and preachers of today. They speak with the smooth, soft voices to soothe the people to sleep and will not show them their sins. This is the enemy of their souls, for it will send them to destruction.
Pro. 5: 3. For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
Now see that this strange woman is the same as these false ministers. So this is the false church. Her gates lead to hell. Her gates are the false teachers who cry peace and lies come out of their mouths. Her mouth is smoother than oil; same as the betrayer of Jesus. So these smooth speaking ministers, who will not lift up their voices like a trumpet and show the people their sins are the betrayers of Jesus. They are the enemies of your soul. But their mouth is smooth, for they seek to please men and not God.
Jer. 6:13. For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
14. They have healed also the hurt of my people slightly, saying, peace, peace; when there is no peace.
[These false prophets and priests (our modern day preachers) were given to COVETOUSNESS. See they loved money. The love of money is the root of all evil. This is one of the easiest ways to know the wolves in sheep clothing. They take pay for doing the work of God. They are hirelings. They all deal falsely against the Word of God. But notice they cry peace, peace when there is no peace. There can be no peace as long as you believe lies and falsehoods.]
15. Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? Nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall; at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith Jehovah.
16. Thus saith Jehovah, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk therein.
[Now he asked if these false teachers are ashamed of their ways. No, he said they are not at all ashamed. They love the wages of iniquity. But how did He tell them they could find the rest for their souls? By returning to the old paths wherein is the good way and walk in this way. So what is the old paths he is saying to get back to? The teaching of the Apostles. They were the first ones to have this peace and good way. They were the very first ones to have the rest to your soul. And what is the rest to your soul? Isa. 28 teaches that it is the speaking in tongues which is the evidence of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost which came on the Day of Pentecost. So then going back to Pentecost, the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, is the only rest for your souls. This is the only way of peace. This is the old way God is telling you to get back to. There is no other way to rest and peace.]
17. And I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet; but they said, We will not hearken.
18. Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
19. Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.
Here God told them he had set watchmen over them saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. This trumpet is the same we started with = the true ministers lifting up their voice and showing you your sins. This is the true watchmen, the ones who show you your sins so you can find the right path. This path is the old way of the Apostolic Fathers. It is the rest to your souls Isaiah spoke of in chapter 28. He said with stammering lips and another tongue will you find this rest. But see the people said we will not hearken to the sound of this trumpet. And because of this God will bring evil upon this people because they will not hearken to his words.
So now I have shown you that there is no peace to the wicked and those who refuse His true Rest to the soul. So if one comes in with a smooth tongue and soft speech and tells you there is peace to you, know that this is an enemy to your soul. If there is no peace, then there must be war.
But the people want no war. Why? Because they are afraid and cannot fight. They have no truth to fight with. They have no strength to fight with. They are fearful and cannot stand on the front lines of the battle. Is there battle? Yes, indeed. There will be battle and war until the very end of time when Jesus will send his angels and separate the wheat and the tares; the sheep and the goats. He will draw the net in and divide the fish and cast away the bad. Then there will be peace for the true people of God. But not before. We have peace in our own souls, but out in the field there will be war until the end.
Read Judges six. It tells that God appeared to Gideon and told him to tear down the altar of Baal. So Gideon did this. Then the people of Baal came against Gideon and contended for Baal. Gideon told them if Baal be a god let him contend for himself. Then God told Gideon to go and deliver the people from those who held them in bondage, the Midianites.
Judges 7:1. Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and encamped beside the spring of Harod: and the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
2. And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.
3. Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
Here we see that God did not want a large crowd of people in this battle. This would be no glory to God. So he told Gideon to send those who were fearful back home. So if you are ‘fearful’ of the battle, you cannot do any good in the army of the Lord. Only those who have been given the spirit of the ‘lion’ will be able to go to this battle. And there must be war.
4. And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
5. So he brought down the people unto the water: and Jehovah said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.
6. And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
Here God gives the men the ‘water’ test. Unto what then were ye baptized? [Paul, in Acts 19].
See the men who bowed down to drink showed that they would not be watchful of the approaching enemy. They were not careful and would not be safe in the battle. But the men who lifted water up in their hands, keeping a watch for the enemy, and drank from their own hands like a dog, these were the ones who could go to the battle and bring deliverance. This left 300 men with Gideon. By these few God gave deliverance from the enemy.
7. And Jehovah said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let all the people go every man unto his place.
8. So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Israel every man unto his tent, but retained the three hundred men: and the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
9. And it came to pass the same night, that Jehovah said unto him, Arise, get thee down into the camp; for I have delivered it into thy hand.
12. And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the sea-shore for multitude.
Just look at the huge host of people who were gathered against the people of God! Without number. So the enemy always has the huge crowd. God has only a few, for strait and narrow is the way which leads to eternal life and few there be that find it. Look around you. See the huge multitudes in the Babylon Churches. No matter what their denominations, they all believe essentially the same things. [They all pay their one preacher to rule over them; they all say God came to earth in flesh; they all say you must ‘go to church’ to be saved; they all say you must tithe; almost all of them say all there is to being saved is just believing. See? All lies.]
They will all band together against Gods true people, as these Midianites and Amalekites and the children of the east did here against Israel.
16. And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.
Here Gideon divided them into three groups-- 100 to each group. They were given trumpets (see this is the trumpet we started with in Isaiah. This trumpet is the message sounding out to show the people their sins.). And they had empty pitchers and torches within the pitchers. This shows the people of God emptied of themselves and the light of God inside us. These are the ones who can go to the battle against Satan and the walls of Babylon.)
17. And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do. (Doing as Gideon did is listening to their leader and all being in the same mind; agreement and equality.)
18. When I blow the trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, For Jehovah and for Gideon.
19. So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
20. And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands wherewith to blow; and they cried, The sword of the LORD and of Gideon.
21. And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.
22. And they blew the three hundred trumpets, and Jehovah set every man's sword against his fellow, and against all the host; and the host fled.
Here these men all blew their trumpets at the same time and broke their pitchers and gave a loud shout. This caused the enemy's army to flee away. This blowing the trumpets is the sounding of those seven trumpets in Revelation. This is the message of the witnesses of God who will be anointed with power from on high by the baptism of fire to bring the judgment. This will be the second true Church. The first one was with the Apostles. After them it went into seven church ages of darkness and loss of power. But at the end of this age, God will again anoint another true Church with power from on high.
We will then blow our trumpets and show the people their sins and brake down the walls of the whore Babylon. All her walls were daubed with untempered mortar. Her idols will fall down and we will burn them with fire.
What happened here with Gideon is a type and showing what will happen at the end of this age as the true messengers of God lift up their voices like a trumpet to show the people their sins. It will cause the enemy to rise up against us and try to destroy us. But they cannot stand in the battle. And there must be war.
Jesus said the two grow together until the end of the world. This is the wheat and the tares. The sheep and the goats. The good and bad fish caught in the net. But at the end they will be separated. Until then there must be war. The two cannot agree. How can two walk together except they be agreed? The wheat can never agree with the tares. The true church can never agree with the Babylon whore church. So there will be wars until the end; so said Jesus. There must be war.
Jesus said there will always be kingdom against kingdom. This is the kingdom of Satan or Babylon against the kingdom of Jesus or the true Holy Ghost filled Christians, the true Jews.
Rev. 12:7. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels;
8. And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world; he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Now see that as long as the devil was allowed to dwell in heaven there was war? There must be war so long as Satan and his angels dwell among God’s people. We can never agree with them. There is no agreement between Satan’s temple and God’s temple. If you agree, then you will fall and become one of them. What fellowship hath light with darkness?
As soon as Satan was cast unto the earth he persecuted the true Church. Until he is destroyed from among the church, there must be war. If you cease to battle Satan and his ministers transforming themselves into ministers of light, then you will fall with them.
You must war with them until they are destroyed and cast out of the Church.
Truth is your only weapon. You absolutely must have the truth of God’s word to do battle with Satan. Jesus himself only used “ it is written”. Unless you can say it is written in what you say and teach then you teach lies and become a member of Satan’s army. You are thus warring with Jesus and his true Church. If you teach something, which is not written in the pure Word of God, then you teach, lies and are become an enemy of God and His true people.
So those of us who teach truth are the ones with the trumpet in our mouth. We are the ones who come to save you. We come to bring you the true peace. There is no peace to the wicked. Those who teach and believe lies are the wicked, for you call God a lie. When you teach contrary to His Word, you call Him a lie. Thus you joined the army of Satan.
If you go back to law or preach for money you become an enemy of God and joined the army of Satan. You think God does not battle? The Word is full of the battles of the Lord. The battle is not ours but the Lords.
Cont.
Psm. 24:3. Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place?
4. He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully. (Here it said that those who have not believed falsehood and have clean hands and a pure heart are the ones who shall ascend into the holy hill of God. So you had better be clean and know truth. So those of us who try to show you the way of cleanness and truth are in the battle of the Lord.)
5. He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6. This is the generation of them that seek after him, That seek thy face, even Jacob. Selah
7. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in.
8. Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.
These gates are the ones who teach the truth which the Apostles taught. See here that the LORD is mighty in battle. So how can one say we must not war? There must be war till Satan is cast into the lake of fire. Wherever Satan and the children of God exist together, there must be war. If you do not war with him, you join sides with him. If you can be at peace with him and his lies, then you are on his side.
Psm. 78:8. And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that set not their heart aright, And whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
9. The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle.
10. They kept not the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law;
11. And they forgat his doings, And his wondrous works that he had showed them.
See that these were rebellious, as were their fathers. The forgot the works of God during the days of the Apostles. This is prophecy or types of this. See that they were armed and carrying bows but they turned back in the day of battle.
The reason they turned back and could not battle is because they had forgotten His mighty doings and his wondrous works he had shown them in the days of the Apostles.
That is why you today cannot battle and do not want battle; you have forgotten the mighty works of God in the first church. You deny all the power. From such turn away.
Should we battle with Babylon? Read on.
Jer. 49:14. I have heard tidings from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.
This is prophecy of when we will destroy this Babylon Church of our day. We must rise up to the battle and tear down her walls so the spiritual true walls of New Jerusalem can be built again.
Jer. 50:22. A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
23. How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
This is prophecy all through these last chapters of Jeremiah of the destruction of this Babylon Church of our day. Read the whole chapters if you desire truth. Only the truth can set you free and give you peace in your soul.
Those of us who are now in the battle against her sins and lies are the ones who have heard the true voice of God in his Holy Word. We heard the call to battle and we rose up and went to war. There must be war.
42. They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
43. The king of Babylon hath heard the tidings of them, and his hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.
44. Behold, the enemy shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? And who will appoint me a time? And who is the shepherd that can stand before me?
[See here I told you we must have the spirit of the lion to be in the LORD’S army. This says that the people in this battle come up as lions against Babylon. That is the lion face on the living creature = the Christians.]
45. Therefore hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall drag them out; surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
46. At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth trembleth, and the cry is heard among the nations.
See here that this battle against Babylon is worldwide? It is heard among the nations.
Jeremiah 51:1. Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in Leb-kamai, a destroying wind.
2. And I will send unto Babylon strangers, that shall winnow her; and they shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
(These strangers who go against Babylon are the true Christians at war with Satan.).
3. Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his coat of mail: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.
4. And they shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets.
5. For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, of his God, of Jehovah of hosts; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
6. Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be not cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of Jehovah's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompense.
Now you see here in verse 6, the same call which goes out in Revelation to flee or come out of Babylon. Why is it still repeated in Revelation if it is not at the end of time? This in Jeremiah is only prophecy for this time to come.
7. Babylon hath been a golden cup in Jehovah's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
The nations are mad on their idols. This is also in the Word. So it was Babylon which made her mad on her idols. These churches today are full of idol worship. They have their Santa clauses, their Easter bunnies, and all the other junk of the world. They are Babylon. They are the whore we are at war with. There must be war until the end.
8. Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: wail for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
9. We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country; for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
See here again is the command from God to FORSAKE Babylon.
19. The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
20. Thou art my battle-axe and weapons of war: and with thee will I break in pieces the nations; and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;
This tells that Jesus and his people are God’s battle-axe for this war against Babylon. With us he will destroy this entire kingdom of Satan. All churches, which partake of idols and refuse the Holy Ghost and Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins, are part of the Babylon kingdom.
In Isaiah we are told that God sought for a man to stand in the gap and make up the hedge. Jesus was the one who did this. We his true followers also stand in the gap and make up the hedge. What is the hedge? It is the protection of God to his people. He sends his angels to stand and protect us. But he also sends his true ministers (the one preaching truth) to help protect you. So when you fight against the one who teach truth, you are fighting and warring against the army of God.
Does God have an army? Sure he does. Read on.
Joel 2:1. Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of Jehovah cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2. A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the dawn spread upon the mountains; a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.
3. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and none hath escaped them.
4. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so do they run.
5. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains do they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6. At their presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces are waxed pale.
7. They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like MEN OF WAR and they march every one on his ways, and they break not their ranks.
Now read the rest of this chapter. It tells of how the army of God, the second anointed witness, will destroy this kingdom of Babylon. We are at war with her. See that it said we blow the trumpet? That is what we started this message with, the people of God sounding the trumpet to show them their sins. Without this, there is only destruction for you. Come out of Babylon lest you be partakers of her plagues.
Obadiah 1:1. The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
This is also prophesy against Babylon. Let us go against her in battle. There must be war till they are destroyed out of the earth.
Is this thing of the trumpet and war in the New Testament? Sure it is. Read on:
1Cor. 14:8. For if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war?
See here again the trumpet sounding and the people preparing themselves for WAR is connected together. We must sound out a clear, truthful message. This is the sounding of the trumpet. It is not a literal musical instrument; it is a message being sounded. This message MUST show the people what sin is. It must show them their sins and compel them to give up their sins, repent, believe the true gospel, be converted and obey the Apostles. Repent and be baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, then live a holy, overcoming life until the end of you life. This is the only true way of salvation.
Unless you hear this trumpet message and obey it, destruction is headed your way by the mighty army of God. Yes God has a mighty army unto which he will very soon give the power and thunder out the command to go to battle against Babylon (whore church) and destroy everything which is connected with her. That is why you must come out of her and be not partakers of her sins, lest you also receive of her plagues, which are soon to come.
We, the true ministers of God today, have already heard this call to go against her to battle. We are already sounding out that trumpet message to show you your sins. Unless you hear, heed it and obey, you will be destroyed with her.
Rev. 9: 5. And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a man.
6. And in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it; and they shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them.
7. And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like unto gold, and their faces were as men's faces.
8. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as teeth of lions.
9. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to war.
I would like to use this whole chapter, but it is too much. Read it. This is the army of God going out. We are those locusts and those horses rushing to war. It is the same as in Joel 2. This is the plagues coming upon Babylon. The witnesses of God bring it. We are an army of both men and women. That is why it shows us to have the face of a man and hair like a woman. It shows both men and women in this mighty army of God. This is the same as Psm. 149. Read that chapter with this message. The saints of God will bring all the written judgments against Babylon, the whore church worshipping her idols of x-mas; green decorated trees, rabbits, eggs, new years watch night services, and all the rest of her mess. She is out there among the world selling everything from candy to cook books and chicken and anything else they can get their hands on. They even now have ball teams, go golfing to get money into their treasures and even hold yard sales.
They are in open rebellion to the words of Jesus who said Make not my Father’s house a house of MERCHANDISE.
How can you justify all this selling to get money for a ‘church’? It is not of God. It is of Satan. He is the father of lies and loves money. You are in rebellion to Jesus. I am sounding out that trumpet message right here in this message. You had better heed this warning. This came to me from Almighty God this morning. He put this message into my heart before I got up. I have not eaten today. It is now 1:30 pm. I have sat here all morning looking up Scriptures and writing this message to warn you to flee this Babylon mess. You will not hear. You will mock and scoff to your own destruction.
Wow be to the ones who turn a deaf ear to this message. It is a message from God, not me. If you fail to listen and obey and believe the truth you will forever be cut off from God. If you hold to your churches lies, their parties, x-mess celebrations, their other sins, you will be destroyed with her in that day. This is the trumpet message going out. It is to show you your sins and give you a chance to repent. If you fail to repent, the sword is set to fall upon you and cut you to pieces and grind you to power and the wind of destruction will blow you away.
Rev. 16: 13. And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs:
14. For they are spirits of devils, working signs; which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.
15. (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walked naked, and they see his shame.)
Now this evil spirit of Satan gathers all of Babylon together against the truth of God. They all go to war. Jesus comes as a thief right here. It is part of Joel 2. They come in at the windows as a thief. This is the people of God at war with Babylon. We are the coming of Jesus as a thief. It is not Jesus coming down in natural clouds and stealing away his bride as the whore church teaches. That is a foolish lie. It is just more of her poison. The army of God is the one who comes to you as a thief. It is Jesus Christ in us.
Rev. 20: 7. And when the thousand years are finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8. And shall come forth to deceive the nations which are in the Four Corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
9. And they went up over the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down out of heaven, and devoured them.
10. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.
See after the 1,000 years reign of Christ on earth, the devil is again loosed and goes out to make war against the people of God. This proves that as long as Satan is alive anywhere there will be war. Light and darkness, truth and lies cannot agree. There must be war between the two until Satan is cast into the lake of fire. Then and only then will there be everlasting peace. Then war will be no more. But do not look for peace now. There must be war.
Can you, will you go to battle on the Lord’s side? If not, you are at war on Satan’s side. Everyone is in one or the other army. We are all either on the Lord’s side or on Satan’s side.
If you keep idol holidays or such things you are on Satan’s side. You are in his army, at war against the people of God who teach truth according to the WRITTEN WORD OF GOD.

New Covenant in Christ Jesus
It is the Sixth Seal appearance of the Lord with power and majesty (Re.6:12-17) which will lift the partial blindness of Israel (Rom.11:25). From that day forward, Israel will know that Christ Jesus is their Messiah, and Jer.31:31-34 and Heb.8:10-12 (below) will be fulfilled.
I answered with this: This was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost. It was prophesy in the days of the prophets. But it has already been fulfilled.
The Jews received the gospel preached to them first. Many of them were converted to Jesus before the Gentiles had their chance.
Jesus has made us both into one body, the new man, the Church. There will never be another. The New covenant he made with them was the New Testament. There will never be another one.
If people are still looking for this to be fulfilled, then they totally discredit the whole work of Jesus. He has already finished it. There will never be another covenant to anyone except the blood of Jesus ALREADY SHED. Larry said this:
Ga 3:28 - There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female:for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Ro 2:28 - Show Context
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Ro 2:29 - But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God
Ro 10:12 - For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
Ro 1:16 - For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Ac 15:9 - And put no difference between us( Jew) and them,( Gentile) purifying their hearts by faith.
Amen! We are one! One in Christ, no difference between the Jew and Greek as it is written in Romans...by Paul....when we believe....the power of God unto our salvation. Truth.

From: joieSent: 2/5/2004 11:44 AMEquality is the very heart of and essence of Christianity. It will be a glad day for the church world when and if they ever learn this great truth that we are all ONE = the same, or equals.
As long as anyone 'rules' over another, there is no oneness or equality. The rules for law and grace still prevail in the NT writings. You must still choose this day which 'tree' you will eat of.
If you choose to let the husband rule over the wife, you chose law. But if you choose to accept that we are one then you chose grace.
If you choose that a woman cannot pastor, preach or anything else, then you chose law. But if you see that there is no difference, then you chose grace.
If you choose that the Jew is something different and somehow more the 'chosen' people of God than the other Christians, then you are still blinded by law. by the law shall no flesh be justified.
You miss what I am calling Christianity. I am NOT speaking of these 'religions'. I am not speaking of these big churches. They are the whore against. God.
I am speaking of the true Christianity taught about in the Book of Acts. There is certainly very few of these kind in all the world.
Jesus said only a few will ever find the strait narrow way which leads to eternal life.
Do you listen to my speech? I speak against these false religions all the time.
I teach against all these 'churches' all the time. I KNOW they are not God's true people. I know they are liars and the hypocrites who lead souls to hell fire.
I know their paid preachers are the gates to hell. Those harlot churches are the gates to hell.
But there is still a true Christianity in which all are equals. I said equality is the heart of christianity. Jesus and Paul said we (true Christians, with the Baptism of the Holy ghost) are all ONE.
Unity is not visible today. for there are too many hirelings. too many false teachers. almost no one knows the real truth today. they are all on the wrong FOUNDATION. Until one is built on the right FOUNDATION, they will never learn any truth.
This is a long message. But you all need to study it.
There must be war:
Most people, who claim to be of God, never take a stand for anything or against anything. They just drift, hoping to keep 'peace' (or to be liked) by all sides.
This is not of God. Jesus said he that is not gathering, is scattering. you do one or the other. He that is not with me, is against me.
Some of the very members here, which I thought were surely Christians, turn and walk away when I join the BATTLE for the Lord.
What do you all think, war, is? What do you think God called us for? to twiddle our thumbs and play games with Satan's ministers, while they devour the sheep?
Seems that is what most people think. Oh, say they, you must not rebuke those little devils. must have sweet 'love' with everyone. and let them throw you off into hell?
Not me. Jesus said, rebuke them strongly, so they may learn not to blaspheme. His holy name is constantly being blasphemed in this site. How many of you pick up the sword of the Lord, and go to war with the enemy?
I see Larry doing this. Tweety sometimes gets into the battle. what about the rest of you?
Which side are you on?
where did all those who seemed to be on the Lord's side run to? Where are they? Why cannot they walk out into the battle and let the world know which side you are on?
I am on the side of JESUS CHRIST, AND NOT ONE BIT ASHAMED OF IT.
I WILL NOT STAND BY AND ALLOW HIS HOLY NAME TO BE BLASPHEMED BY DEVILS, AND THE PRECIOUS WORD OF GOD, THE KJV, WHICH HAS BLESSED ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE, LED ME, GUIDED ME, FED ME, AND PROMISED TO BRING TO ME TO THAT SAFE HAVEN OF ETERNAL LIFE, AND NOT LIFT MY VOICE
LOUD AND CLEAR
AGAINST THIS EVIL.
Jesus said if you are ashamed of me and my words, my Father shall be ashamed of you in the judgment.
Where will you be then, you who refuse to take up the sword and go to battle for the LORD?
Pro. 5: 3. For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
Now see that this strange woman is the same as these false ministers. So this is the false church. Her gates lead to hell. Her gates are the false teachers who cry peace and lies come out of their mouths. Her mouth is smoother than oil; same as the betrayer of Jesus. So these smooth speaking ministers, who will not lift up their voices like a trumpet and show the people their sins are the betrayers of Jesus. They are the enemies of your soul. But their mouth is smooth, for they seek to please men and not God.
