Introduction to my writings by Lance Robert Schmidt
My research and writings are an outgrowth of 59 years of bible study and 41 years of bible teaching. It has been a gradual process of development from my expanding awareness in my youth and more intense study since 1978 when I first started teaching in Sunday school with teen aged young people.
Bible study and related research has been my primary focus of personal elective reading with help from many good resources that the LORD has brought my way. Some people enjoy fictional novels, various academic subjects or other kinds of specialized reading. I enjoy the pursuit of spiritual matters that pertain to life and eternity through reading the Holy Scriptures and the related material of good authors. However, over time (and especially since 1993, a defining moment in my life journey of research), I have experienced the LORD showing me to depend less on outside opinion and commentary, even from godly men and women, and more on prayerfully receiving and meditating on His own direct words written in his perfect revelation to us.
I began in earnest on my writing projects back in 2003 after twenty years of intense investigation into the bible version controversy.
You might wonder why you should read articles written by a Christian layman “sitting in the church pew” instead of a pastor-preacher or a formally trained Bible or seminary professor with academic credentials? The verses the LORD gave me along this line of thinking are:
“…but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.”
Isaiah 66: 2b
I truly am beginning to understand more of the importance of “trembling” at the words of the LORD.
Another related passage also from Isaiah describes my situation about learning God’s word and truths, starting out as a “baby” Christian, then growing up to spiritual adulthood by His precious feeding over many years of study. My stammering effort to speak to people with my writing is through my “tongue” in English which is definitely “another tongue” from the original languages of Greek, Hebrew and Chaldean; tongues that God used in originally revealing Himself and recording his words in sacred scripture. This is clearly referred to in the following Isaiah passage quoted below.
God can use my “stammering lips” and “another tongue” just like He states emphatically here through this major prophet in Old Testament times (about seven centuries before the LORD Jesus Christ came to earth). The LORD has done this before and will do it again through other “laymen”; plain everyday people, that are from all walks of life.
“Whom shall he (the LORD God) teach knowledge? and whom shall he (the LORD God) make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.”
Isaiah 28: 9 – 11 (Parentheses mine)
The LORD used plain fishermen, a tax collector and others from humble backgrounds to become disciples and later Apostles. They would be the first layer of the church’s strong structure which was built upon the foundation of Jesus himself, the “rock of ages”; the Solid Rock of truth and our precious salvation unto the LORD God, Jehovah.
These normal everyday men would be used by the LORD Jesus for the rapid spread of His “Glorious Gospel”; the early church missionary movement. These same plain everyday men would also be His chosen instruments for writing much of the New Testament, the completion of the sixty six books for the finished Holy Scriptures.
The only exception to this pattern was the Apostle Paul. He was one “born out of due season1” in that he came along later to be chosen by the LORD for service as our Apostle to the Gentiles; a “spokesman” for the present Church age (or the dispensation of God’s grace and new covenant) after the earthly ministry of Jesus was complete and His ascension back to the Father in heaven.
Paul also faithfully preached to his brethren after the flesh, the Jews. even though as a people (a "tribal unit" if you please) they rejected Jesus and the Gospel. Many individual Jews at the time...and all down through history would believe on Jesus as their Messiah. God always preserves a remnant.
Paul, who was originally named Saul of Tarsus, was a highly trained academic with an advanced education in the religion of the Jews, philosophy, law, numerous foreign languages and other higher learning. So God can and certainly does use plain men and formally educated men.
Moses, a highly educated member of Egypt’s royal family by adoption, was another “spokesman” of his time period for the establishment of Israel as a nation and the receiving and giving of the Law of God. It is interesting to note that the LORD first moved Moses to the back side of the desert for 40 years to be a shepherd before calling him to be the deliverer of God’s people from bondage. So this pattern of plain men and highly educated men being used is completely biblical in every respect.
Initially, Paul was Saul of Tarsus, a Pharisee, who along with many other learned men, was blind to truths that the LORD wanted to reveal to Israel and later the Gentile nations. God first worked to show “the babes” these amazing revelations of truth. The heavenly appearance of angelic hosts heralding the LORD Jesus’ birth to the world was made to humble shepherds while they watched their flocks by night, not to the ruling class “royalty” of Israel such as King Herod2… nor did the angels appear to the powerful overlords of the Roman Empire including Caesar himself.
“At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.”
Matthew 11:25
Another related principle is found with a discussion and comparison of unsaved “natural” men compared to saved “spiritual” men.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
1 Corinthians 2: 14 – 15
(Emphasis mine)
We must be humble enough to admit that God often wants the “least esteemed” in the church to play a key role in revealing truth, bringing about attention to a lost focus on the right priorities or being a catalyst for consideration by both the leaders and other church members. Often there is needed correction, greater attention to doctrine and a recommitment to preach and teach the whole counsel of God, not just five or six key fundamentals of faith that become the only teachings strongly upheld and taught. Judgment about spiritual matters sometimes must come from unexpected and humble sources within the family of God.
“Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.”
I Corinthians 6: 3 – 4
(Emphasis mine)
To the extent that I, as a saved man, am conducting myself in a spiritual manner, with discernment in this endeavor and exercising a gift from the Holy Ghost to teach and communicate; thereby able to “judge all things” according to His words, I am deserving of a careful “hearing” (a patient reading with attention to details) from you the reader and from church leaders, regardless of a lack of highly educated men’s approval by academic honors. To the extent that my fallen flesh might interrupt the spiritual process, I have prayed for the LORD’s protection against pride or error ruining this effort. I have prayed for and sought the protective discernment from those around me who may be more equipped with wisdom at a given moment to assist me. The godly believers I trust, being filled with God’s Spirit, have served much to help protect me from grave missteps.
However, that being said, where we disagree, these same fellow believers also must have the biblical evidence to back up any challenge to my positions, as the “noble Bereans” were in the book of Acts, willing to challenge the Apostle Paul and other bible teachers if found to be unbiblical. The bible truth of the priesthood of every true saved believer places us on a “level playing field” provided our heart, motives and attitude are pure before the LORD and we have done the work; the “study” that God commands of us, “to shew ourselves approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
(Emphasis mine)
The study of God’s holy words is always a good and fruitful process if you have complete confidence and faith in them as the very words of the LORD. This is true outside of the formally structured study in an academic setting. These formal studies are often guided by men who may not even be saved themselves, or if saved, are not Holy Spirit filled.
Personal study has benefits of avoiding the problems created by preconceived bias, prejudice and/or traditions of the group where the education is provided. I can avoid the temptation of a deceitful loyalty that is unhealthy, to any “alma mater”.
I have been encouraged by the LORD to write articles as a means of extending a sober warning to believers and non-believers alike. My writings are a wake up call. They warn unbelievers of the reality of judgment and their eternal destruction if they don’t get saved.
I call out to believers to shun the clever deception of Satan’s schemes and to join the real spiritual battle; the essential need for sound doctrine and pure Holy Scripture texts and translations. Satan promotes lies such as “the original autographs are the only truly pure and perfectly inspired text”. No one has these “originals” so how do we take God at His word when he says:
“But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”
2 Timothy 2: 14 - 15
The LORD says in this passage through Paul to Timothy that he has learned from the “holy scriptures”. These scriptures that young Timothy held in his hands were copies of copies of copies etc. of the “originals” which were as perfect and preserved for his learning of God’s words accurately and properly as any “originals” could be.
Let us never forget that when God says “all” He means “all” including perfect copies of copies of copies etc. that have been miraculously preserved and transmitted down to us today through centuries of Holy Ghost protection and inspiration of the holy men of God involved.3
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”
2 Timothy 3: 16 - 17
As the blaring sound of a siren warning of danger, my articles are written to warn and urge believers to turn back from the edge of perilous “Sinking Sand” that is giving way to a landslide into apostasy (departure from truth and pure bibles) to return to the “Solid Rock” of the LORD and his pure words. It also is a call to true bible believers to return to the safety of their first love, the LORD Jesus Christ and shed the “snake skin” of the traditions of men or the distracting fads of periodic movements and/or marketing techniques unwisely applied to church programs.
Most important, my articles are a call to unsaved people to repent (to agree with the LORD, turn to Him and accept fully His view about their sin and lost condition).
Unsaved people must come humbly in repentance and faith to the one true LORD God of heaven and earth who is plenteous in mercy and ready to forgive them through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who paid the awful price of redemption for all men. However, this great salvation only applies to those who will personally trust Him. The LORD requires faith in His Son to be exercised by each of us, personally, or else it is not effective for us. Each one of us must receive this provision for our own sin problem as the supreme gift of God’s love.
True bible believing Christians call this the most important aspect of God’s grace; to establish a right relationship with the LORD and then begin a lasting eternal son-ship and friendship, experiencing true love as a member of the family of God. The awful alternative to a person exercising saving faith is rejection of God’s love, resulting in a sad and sobering truth from the scriptures; eternal separation from God in perdition.
My writings also call God’s people to return to the pure bibles and the basic pure teachings regarding truth; spiritual truth that is rooted in God’s pure, preserved and perfect words.
These precious words of Spirit and Life provide us with clear unequivocal answers to the ultimate issues and questions about life; our nature, origins, our purpose, our present priorities and our future…answers that hold eternal value and consequences for all of us.
Who are we? Why are we here? What is the meaning of it all? What should we be doing now? And, where are we headed?
The departure from truth by our collective national conscience is clear for all to see.
America is descending deeper into paganism, hedonism, materialism, self worship, secular reasoning and spiritual darkness from deception. The downward moral and spiritual slide has led to upheavals economically, politically, socially and culturally leading to the NEW WORLD ORDER. It is happening with accelerating and alarming speed.
The removal of God and the Bible from the public and private school classrooms, from the public square of political and social discourse and from the center of focus of many people’s lives, is strongly evident. Just look at Television today to see the regular viewing “diet” fed to our society in the form of vile sitcoms, tabloid journalism and dramas filled with graphic violence or sexual content.
Compare this to just two decades ago when we enjoyed the wholesome viewing of Little House on the Prairie where you often heard the Holy Scriptures quoted in the home, in school and in public civic meetings (as well as in church).
It hardly seems possible, but I soberly contend that there is a far more serious trend; the abandonment of truth by the replacement of the pure Holy Scriptures with counterfeit “bibles” – that are even used by brethren - fellow believers - brothers and sisters in the faith that name the name of Jesus Christ. This is not so widely understood, but it is happening on a large sweeping scale. It is an epidemic, even a pandemic of a spiritual kind of “black plague”; a deadly infection that is weakening and disarming many in the body of Christ, spiritually.
One commentator said “The churches are dying by Degrees”. Men have been to the seminaries for their Doctor of Divinity Degrees, but many have not even been to the cross of Christ for genuine salvation. Or, if they are truly saved, they have not been to the “altar” of personal sacrifice and surrender to the LORD. They have not humbled themselves in submitting willingly from the heart to the authority of the proven and safe text of the Holy Scriptures, thereby immersing themselves in the pure words of the LORD, but instead have searched high and low in the variant readings of modern “bibles”, corrupt scholar’s lexicons, tainted “bible” dictionaries and human commentaries or “bible” paraphrases that promote man’s opinions and humanistic variations of “systematic theology” rather than “Thus saith the LORD!”
The Holy Spirit of God wants to fill godly men with spiritual power for service, but these deceived men resist his pure words. They refuse to receive the pure living waters and the unleavened pure bread of life from the safe and proven texts. They stubbornly resist receiving God’s uncorrupted words of truth into humble and contrite hearts. They do not seek the LORD with clean hands; therefore they miss much of what His pure words clearly declare. They have become bible critics and deceived scholars judging the textual “evidence” instead of letting the received and pure text critique and judge them.
This departure from God’s preserved words forms the basis for my alarm and for the deep concern the LORD has given me for people in trouble; in spiritual danger. My basic burden is for people that are deceived whether saved or lost. The deception often is so subtle.
Please dear reader; do not quickly assume that I could not be speaking to you, personally. You may have already thought, “This article is not for me!” It may be that you are the very person that needs it most, because you think all is well in your positions and beliefs about spiritual matters… or the bible. Perhaps you are even in a good church that uses pure, preserved bibles but you personally have not settled this issue in your own heart. Or, perhaps you don’t much care or think about it. This web site of articles may change your outlook completely.
Let me ask you a question. Where will you be 100 years from now? This is something to think about and this web site of writings is written to help you answer and settle that question. If you are lost and unsaved, this book will show you that you can know beyond any doubt that you are on your way to heaven.
Moreover, the same question applies for already saved believers. Where will you be 100 years from now? Do you really understand the possible answers to that question based on pure biblical revelation? Where will each of us be assigned in the Kingdom of God? This assignment and the rewards the LORD intends to give out to his own, depend on our heart’s attitude in genuine loving service to Him, our faithfulness to stand in the battle and our real motives. These three all start, first, with our commitment to the words of the LORD.
To the truly saved ministers and pastors who are preaching from a modern version “bible”, let me ask you another question? What will be your answer at the Judgment Seat of Christ when the Saviour asks you; “Why did you not keep my words?” This involves guarding, protecting and recognizing God’s sovereign work of the preservation of His words, not perfect obedience as some have misunderstood. The LORD Jesus said: “If a man love me, he will keep my words:” John 14:23 (Emphasis mine)
We must love the LORD by demonstrating a passionate love for His every word as He has given them to us in our particular language bible; a vernacular bible; the one that is providentially provided from the LORD’s own guiding hand. God alone has given us the safe and pure stream of the textual transmission over centuries of hand copying (and later mechanized printing) by those servants he chose; that he moved upon by His Spirit and led to do so.
Have you ever considered your loss of rewards for committing spiritual fornication with harlots; the false “bibles” from the impure satanic stream?
My reason to write is simply to warn people; first, those that have “fallen away” from truth; from the pure preserved words of the LORD…or those that are beginning to do so…
You can still turn back...to the...
“old paths where is the good way”4 and back from disaster before it is too late.
Then second, I want to warn unsaved people who are on their way to Hell and who must one day (soon) appear before the Great White Throne of God for His final judgment upon them. They (and perhaps even you, dear reader, if you are not saved!) will experience the final result of being under condemnation5; “receiving in themselves that recompence of their error”6; the sentence of eternal punishment without any hope for pardon.
If you are reading this, it is not too late to be saved and know you are cleansed by the blood of the Lamb, the LORD Jesus Christ…redeemed and forgiven with a home in Heaven. You can miss this terrible judgment for lost and unsaved people who die in their sins. You must simply trust only in the LORD Jesus Christ and His work of redemption.
This is called God’s plan of salvation; a plan that is clearly and accurately presented in his pure words in such a way that even a little child can understand it. Your heart must be open and willing to receive God’s truth, or the enemy of your soul, Satan, will steal the meaning of the words from your perception…and as Jeremiah, the prophet, stated: “Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not: Fear ye not me? Saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence…?”7
If one does not have a basic awe, reverence and respect for the LORD God (which is what the word “fear” means here) that person cannot understand even the most basic spiritual truths. The same principle applies to, saved persons who have lost their fear of the LORD. They do not tremble at His presence or His words. I remind you once more; the LORD states emphatically:
“…but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.” Isaiah 66: 2b
People have lost… or are losing… their biblical clarity and understanding; even saved leaders of churches or entire denominational groups are “falling away”8.
Some Christian observers have said that we are definitely in a “post-Christian” era. I don’t agree with that view; however; I do believe we are in a “sea of corrupt bibles” era – It is at the root of the “falling away” that the Scriptures warn about in the last days before the LORD’s return. God’s people are no longer trembling at His words and they handle them frivolously and arrogantly.
Biblical illiteracy is wide spread in many churches, but what really shocked me was the abandonment of God’s pure preserved words by the more conservative churches; ones that have been formerly known in their earlier history for being biblically strong and sound in their doctrine.
This same pattern is found in a number of major Christian Universities, Bible Colleges and Seminaries. In fact, these important institutions are at the root of the problem, for the men and women being trained and prepared to serve in churches (and other ministries such as mission work) are having their reverence and respect for the words of the LORD undermined by the wrong philosophy and approach concerning the inspiration and preservation of the sacred text.
God’s words are being increasingly obscured by counterfeit versions; corrupted “bibles” that feign (pretend) accuracy, claiming to speak the pure words of the LORD more clearly in modern English. The advertising and marketing hype tends to obscure the truth from the average person who is unarmed, not having knowledge about the preservation of the sacred text.
These pretender “bibles” with their unholy textual renderings are infiltrating some of the more famous and formerly solid bible believing churches. They have in almost all instances already infected the academic world of higher learning associated with these church groups.
As we watch the growing threat of nuclear weapons and other “weapons of mass destruction” (WMDs) including shocking reports that they are hidden and awaiting use by terrorists in our American home base, it is clear we are right on the brink of the consummation of all things leading to the establishment of the millennial kingdom of Christ. We are watching unfold before our very eyes with worldwide media coverage, the LORD’s final chapter.
I am not an adherent of Replacement Theology, Preterism (from the Latin preter meaning “past”) and A-Millennial or Post Millennial teaching. "Replacement" teaching which erroneously holds that “the church” (as a “universal” entity) has replaced spiritual Israel and thus must receive in her stead, all of the promises and blessings of God (many still in the future) made to the Jews and a “cursed and forsaken nation”, Israel.
These teachings lead to the false conclusion that the church must bring in God’s kingdom on earth by “Christianizing” the world rather than looking for the appearing of the LORD Jesus Christ to take out His bride (true believers; saved Jews and Gentiles) from this world.
This catching away of His church of born again, blood washed, saved people, is often referred to as the Rapture of the church. Though not a biblical term, it is descriptive of this “catching away” event; the resurrection-translation that could occur at any time, as the evidence mounts of God’s dealing with Israel and the fulfillment of many prophecies that must yet unfold. These momentous global events appear to be in the very near future.
The rebirth of Israel of the flesh and as a political nation in May of 1948, fulfilled a significant part of the promises of the LORD made in the Old Testament, namely that after worldwide dispersion, His special Old Testament "chosen" people, the physical sons of Jacob (Israel), who later became known as "Jews" (from the name, Judah), would again become a sovereign nation and be gathered out of all nations into the land of promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Eretz Israel or the land of Israel).
The “Arabs” and Muslim people don’t qualify for the promises because they are not from Isaac or Jacob’s blood line. They are essentially from Ishmael and Esau (Edom) mixed with other heathen cultures.
Gentiles also don’t qualify to be inheritors of the political earthly promises made to the "chosen people" and their land, the nation, Israel. This is God’s land and holy city, Jerusalem, and He will perform all that He has promised to
This fulfillment of bible prophecy is happening before our very eyes on the front pages of our newspapers. Media coverage is saturating both radio and television as well, so that the entire world can witness the LORD-Jehovah, the one true God, at work. Even remote places on the globe are receiving coverage via Satellite and the Internet. These modern technologies and many others are a sign of the times, for less than one generation ago these things would not be possible. Jehovah is squaring off with the false gods, Allah in particular.
Today we are seeing all of the key pieces of prophecy coming together:
1) The LORD is dealing with the descendants of Jacob, Israel, the “apple of his eye”10, in strengthening His "chosen" people as a nation once again in the land of promise. Satan has corrupted the rulers. Many underground Messianic congregations of saved believers in Jesus now exist within Israel. The remnant is being called out of the evil racist political entity of the six pointed star.
2) The LORD is defending His nation and particularly Jerusalem, His Holy City; …which has become a “burdensome stone”11 to all the nations of the world and a “cup of trembling”12 to her immediate neighbor nations as well as the nations of the world. Presently Jerusalem is corrupted and the scriptures call her Sodom and Egypt in the book of the Revelation.
The immediate surrounding nations and others farther away in outer regions extending from Ukraine and Southern Russia in the north to Africa (Libya, Ethiopia and the Sudan) to the south and Persia (Iran) to the East, will experience God’s "chosen" nation and land as a “hearth of fire” among the wood…and she will “devour all the people round about”13…
3) The LORD is making ready to fulfill the pronounced judgments in Old Testament prophecies on corrupt Israel and all other nations that are His enemies. The following nations are against the LORD and the true spiritual Israel – and mentioned specifically in Old Testament prophecies as the targets of God’s wrath and judgment -
a) Egypt,
b) Ammon, Moab and Edom – together, they comprise modern day Jordan14 and northern Saudi Arabia,
c) Assyria which is modern day Syria and Northern Iraq
d) Babylon – modern day Southern Iraq
e) Persia which is today’s Iran, soon to be the first of all of the “Arab” Islamic nations to have nuclear weapons and a delivery capability, (although the Saudis are rumored to be a nuclear State
f) Ethiopia (which includes modern day Somalia and the Sudan),
g) Libya which is considered biblically to be all the land west of Egypt in North Africa,
h) Magog of the land of Gog which is Turkey, Ukraine, Southern Russia and her immediate neighbors formerly of the Soviet Union
i) Togarmah which is the modern day portions of Eastern Europe and the Balkans,
j) Gomer, believed to be modern day Germans and Central and Western Europeans which are lands becoming increasingly Muslim, and
k) the other inhabitants of Mt. Seir - Esau and Ishmael’s descendants that became many tribal groups who comprise many of the violent factions of modern day “Palestinians”.
The entire list, though not exhaustive, comprises the core of today’s modern day enemies of the one true God, the LORD-Jehovah. Some are located right in the midst of the greater geogfraphy of the "Promised Land" itself in the form of immediate surrounding nations mentioned above. There are other enemies that are also aligned with them in other parts of the world as you move further out from Israel. Consider the far reaches of Islam into other regions of the world.
An overlooked enemy of the LORD is the political elite "synagogue of Satan" that rules the physical nation Israel of the six pointed star; the Hexagram, symbolizing 666.
Satan controls the temporal powers in the land of Israel presently. They are the "synagogue of Satan" mentioned in Revelation 2 and 3. This infection will be removed at the return of the LORD Jesus.
All of the Middle Eastern, North African, European and former southern portions of the Soviet empire* are people commonly referred to as the heathens because they do not know the one true God, Jehovah.
Long ago in history, as nations, they rejected the LORD and followed false gods; fallen angelic spirits posing as “gods” and called no gods in the scriptures. These “gods” were worshipped in ancient religious idolatry and are worshipped even today through various pagan religious groups, the most dominant of which is Islam.
Modern atheism also should be included among the pagans and heathens. Atheists definitely declare “no god”, and in so doing, they are paying indirect worship to fallen angels that continue to deceive in any way possible; keeping men from the truth.
The nations immediately surrounding Israel have become commonly (and inaccurately) known as “Arabs” including most of the Palestinians (which are another misnamed people).
The “Arabs” also have other modern nationalistic names, but the common thread is that they are predominantly Muslim people, pagans and unbelieving heathens, blasphemously denying Jehovah as the true God and accusing Him of being as a false tribal Jewish (and Christian) god. The term Judeo-Christian is used by wrong as the two are mutuLLY at odds with each others. One is AntiChrist and the other loves Jesus Christ!
Islam promotes a fraud, Allah, while insulting the one true Almighty God and Creator. The Muslims are known for their fanatical worship of Allah, the false “moon god” (hence the symbol of the crescent moon) and they stand against the LORD “and his anointed15”, the LORD Jesus Christ.
The teaching of Islam has embraced a satanic lie established through the false prophet, Mohammed and other subsequent clever schemes of the devil.
Muslims believe that Islam (meaning surrender or submission to Allah) and Sharia law (the laws of Allah) will ultimately rule the entire planet. It is a political movement rooted in a false religious system, just like Nazism with its mystical Aryanism and Lucifer worship, Fascism with its elitist global rule by “more advanced and evolved spiritual men”, Communism with its secular materialistic atheism rooted in the evolutionary theory of origins or Shintoism as found in WW II Japan with its ancestor worship and Emperor worship as god in human form.
The Muslims have followed the sinful and evil teachings of Mohammed derived from his false “angelic” revelator, “Gabriel”. This is not the angel Gabriel of the biblical record, but a lying evil spirit; a fallen angel and emissary of Satan.
Together in a conspiracy, they have created diabolical deceptions that form the Islamic doctrine found in the Qur’an with its vile ethics, ungodly immoral behavior, questionable and sinful religious activities and most dangerous of all to others, their fascist goals of political global conquest, threatening world peace and stability.
This fallen angel called Gabriel is nothing more than a rebellious, wicked and foul spirit who has followed and rebelled with Lucifer.
Sometimes we refer to the hybrid offspring (Genesis 6) of the fallen angels who rebelled with Lucifer as demons, although that is giving them way too much credit since it means demigod16 (or “little god”).
Lucifer, the fallen archangel of the order of Cherubim along with other fallen angels who followed after him are no gods17 and certainly nothing whatsoever like the one true, holy God of the universe; and I remind you, the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings to rule in the millennial reign over all the nations from the "chosen nation" of Israel.
These demons are opposites to Jehovah and the holy angels, just like good and evil; light and darkness; and truth versus deceptive lies according to the clear teachings of the Holy Scriptures. We need to refer to these rebels as they are called in the scriptures – devils, wicked and foul spirits.
4) The LORD is dealing with His churches, most of which are involved at some level in the great falling away (into apostasy).
Many of God’s people are moving into an ecumenical world religious fervor where they are “selling” and “marketing” another gospel (which is not another) instead of holding forth the Word of life18 (the LORD Jesus Christ) and His pure and “glorious”19 Gospel.
These deceived Christians and pseudo “Christians” practice these things with the “authority” of false “bibles”. They often hide behind a mask of “scholarship” and academic learning that makes them critics of the sacred text and "old fashion" Spirit filled Gospel preaching.
Instead they should be humbly submitting to God’s pure, preserved words, allowing these precious words to judge them. They fail to faithfully and unapologetically proclaim the words of the LORD. They are guilty of setting themselves up as the judges and arbiters of what are…and what are not, the words of the LORD and His intended meaning.
These men search high and low for versions and variations of scriptures that support their
“private interpretation”20 of the scriptures.
They preach and teach their own agenda and opinions often rooted in pagan religious traditions, secular humanistic Psychology or modern business management theories.
They promote the pursuit of power, political control, global government or a more mundane, less dramatic vision of worldly success and personal development through self help principles, self improvement techniques or motivational ideas not rooted in the scriptures but in secular thought. The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God!
Their thoughts are vain in the sight of the LORD. 21
Many of these men and women of corrupt minds and hearts are more concerned about being famous, popular and accepted by the mainstream of culture. They profess to be “seeker sensitive” in their ministries. They strive to appeal to their target market of “religious consumers”; selling their programs, merchandise and other wares. They are market driven instead of Holy Ghost led.
In practical terms, even if not intentional, they demonstrate that they are more interested in being “sensitive to people’s needs” (as they perceive them) and to promote their worldly view of “success”, than being sensitive to the LORD and Saviour who bought them with His own precious blood22.
Dear reader; please read on with an open mind and heart. Please search your bible, ready to examine the scripture references as we journey together – any bible you have access to, at this juncture, will suffice, so we can get started together in the journey of these articles. The LORD will open the eyes of your understanding if you approach your study with a humble heart seeking truth.
If you have a King James Bible, you are on safe ground and “solid rock”. You will not be confused by conflicting statements or meanings that you may detect from another corrupt “bible” version – which contains much “sinking sand”. You will also be spared encounters with certain spurious writings that have been added to some “bibles”23 while other false “bibles” have omitted certain key passages from their version of the scriptures that should definitely be included in the sacred text.24
However, for the sake of open investigation, it is “OK” if you start with another version (for now). Please understand that the Holy Scriptures that I quote from (other than for comparison with problem “bibles”) are from the safe and proven sacred text.
We must know and acknowledge that in God’s plans, the future holds incredible promises and blessings for those who are saved. There are also great rewards for the faithful born again children of God who serve Him in the power of the Holy Spirit.
We must awaken to truth; arise and faithfully work biblically to fulfill our mandate from heaven. We must go into the entire world starting with our own neighbors, friends and co-workers to witness to the truth of the GLORIOUS Gospel message.
We must build ministries, businesses, and our homes…or any worthwhile endeavor…only as God leads us to build them, through his revealed words, knowing He has so led for His own purposes…and we must build in His way and in His timing. If we build edifices, personal “kingdoms” and develop earthly resources in our own strength and “wisdom”, we are sinning. We are wasting God’s true resources of real spiritual power from Him alone. We must seek and have His pure wisdom with eternal purpose. If not, we are acting in the flesh rather than in the Spirit.
We must become men and women of the word of God. The LORD commands each of us… “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.25”
The LORD Jesus himself said; “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.”26 We must follow His example and redeem the time that the LORD has given us to work for His plan and purpose. Our commitment to His words must become one of absolute faith and trust in their purity, perfection and power. As Jesus called them, they are “spirit” and “life”27.
The deepest depth of sin’s fullness and the sadness that comes from our world’s depravity is so very close to an end. Joy comes in the morning after the darkness of night when a new day dawns where Christ Jesus, the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS28 shall reign forever.
Let us strive together29 to be found faithful and found doing what the LORD would have us do… “…earnestly contending for the faith once delivered” by using His infallible, inspired, inerrant words. These descriptive terms fall short, for many false “bibles” also claim these characteristics. We must start changing our vocabulary to a more biblical description of God’s words; PURE, PRESERVED and PERFECT.
Therefore, let us also acknowledge that we possess the true Holy Scriptures. They are His pure, perfect and PRESERVED words; ...words that are eternal, just as the LORD is Himself. “Forever Oh LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.”30
Moreover, this settled word has come down to us from heaven! What good would it be for the perfect word of God to be only in heaven, where we cannot have it in our own hands, and in front of our own eyes, to guide us and lead us safely to our eternal home with the LORD? This eternal home is the New Jerusalem, and the New Heaven and Earth that we will rule and administer with Him. The LORD Jehovah has prepared all of it for those who will trust in His Son.
We must be extra careful to use the right text; the holy transmitted text, overseen and preserved by the Holy Ghost, the same as the settled word in heaven. It can be found today in its purity and beauty in the King James Bible. We must ultimately reject all counterfeits that do not agree with this text. We must discern the subtlety of the deception by Satan in attacking God’s truths with the false “scriptures”. This web site of resources and a key part of my mission is to rip off the mask of deception, exposing the facts and revealing the evil agenda of Satan behind the modern version “bibles”. If one does not pay close attention, the dangers are often overlooked.
If Satan can’t get you to abandon use of your King James Bible for a corrupt version, he will do the next best thing; convince you that this Authorized Version holy bible of 1611 is imperfect just as the apostate Roman Catholic and Mormon churches teach31. Or the devil will work on making you a “pseudo bible believer” where you feign trust using common clichés about your bible position; such as “plenary”, “verbal inspiration”, “inerrancy”, “infallibility”, while actually referring in your real meaning to mythical “originals”.
This position is ambiguous at best and deceitfully sinful at worst. It is characterized by the behavior of an academic bible critic. Under the guise of scholarship, a person uses their rather minimal college level or graduate level studies in Seminary for Greek and Hebrew as their prideful tool to revise the text based on their own faulty research.
This search for “deeper truths” is facilitated by corrupt lexical evidence compiled by liberal scholars where the meaning of words from expanded definitions creates entirely new problems. Regardless of the deceptive tactic that Lucifer uses, confusion reigns about God’s real meaning. Satan has a field day, and the LORD is dishonored and displeased.

be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

“Thus saith the LORD, 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.”32

This is an excerpt taken from Lincoln's proclamation for a National Day of Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer at the height of the War Between the States.
A Solemn Warning
“We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown.
But we have forgotten God.
We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom of our own.
Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace...
...too proud to pray to the God that made us!
It behooves us, then to humble ourselves, before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.”
Abraham Lincoln
16th President of the United States of America

FOOTNOTES for article in left column
1 I Corinthians 15:8
Saul became Paul, a saved Jew who reccognized Jesus as God and the Messiah. He was called to serve Jehovah and Jesus
King Herod and the wise men from the east
2 Herod was an Edomite (or Idumaen), a puppet of the Roman authorities, descended from the rebellious Esau, twin brother of Jacob, who the LORD renamed Israel (Genesis). In the book of Romans, Chapter 9, God declares “Esau have I hated” because of the rebellion against Him and the wicked unbelief that started with Esau and ran through their entire family line; a clear case of God’s foreknowledge.
Acts 17
10 ¶ And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily,whether those things were so.12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
"The departure from truth by our collective national conscience is clear for all to see."
3 It is interesting to note that many modern “bible” versions have omitted in many places, the word holy when used with “scriptures”, “men of God”, “angels” and “the Spirit”. They have dropped this all important adjective because their bibles are basically unholy. Instead of “holy men of God”, giving us “holy scriptures”, protected by “holy angels” and led by “the Holy Spirit (or Ghost)”, their versions would convey a watered down meaning - angels protected men (of God may be also missing in some cases) who wrote scriptures by the work of the Spirit. One has to wonder which spirit was guiding this process in their unholy “bibles”.
"America is descending deeper into paganism, hedonism, materialism, self worship, secular reasoning and spiritual darkness from deception."

The ultimate root of Satan's attack and conspiracy.
4 Jeremiah 6:16
5 John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
6 Romans 1:27
7 Jeremiah 6: 21 and 22a
8 The Holy Spirit used Paul to warn us about this “falling away” that must occur at the time of the end in 2 Thessalonians 2: 3 “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;”
It is quite revealing that the Star on the Flag of Israel is a 6 pointed Hexagram - symbolizing 666 - "Israel of the flesh" is an instrument in God's overall plan and Satan has been allowed to use this political entity presently - the dry bones of Ezekiel 37 - the LORD will reclaim the land and the remnant of Jacob's descendants that will see his full revelation as Messiah...even as Joseph was revealed to his "brethren" In Egypt as a shadow of this prophetic future.
The Star more accurately relates to Amos in the OT discussing Israel's worship of Moloch and Chiun...and Luke recording Stephen's great message in the book of Acts before his martyrdom where he accuses the Jews, the elders of corrupt Israel, for the Star of Remphan. All of these names are linked to idolatry and the worship of Baal, the Fire God, Helel who is also Lucifer, the "bringer of light"....a false enlightenment of the spirit world to deceive many...the serpent worship of Talmiudic Judaism and Kaballah based on the Babylonian mysteries.
9 Prophecy in the News, a magazine, radio and internet ministry of authors, the late J. R. Church and Gary Stearman, in Oklahoma City, have pointed out an amazing discovery of the name Jehovah (in the original Hebrew letters equivalent to our English letters, JHVH) engraved in the actual topography of the land of Israel. This is viewable in our time in history only because of modern Satellite photography and technology. It is located near Bethel, the “House of God” where Jacob met with the LORD. This is half way between Shiloh, the original location of the Tabernacle for worship and the City of Jerusalem. Visit www.prophecyinthenews.com for more information.

Ironically, Russia has turned back to the Russian Orthodox form of Christianity and rejected the Soviet occupation of Atheism and Bolshevism brought in by the synagogue of Satan.
America has turned toward secularism and AntiChrist domination fostered by the elite shadow government powers.

17 Biblical description found in

18 1 John 1:1
19 A biblical and descriptive term of the true Gospel - I often use it to differentiate the true Gospel from the many false Gospels
20 A biblical term describing man’s error in understanding the true meaning of a teaching of the scriptures
21 1 Corinthians 3:19 - 20
22 In all fairness, sometimes good men promote both; however, many of them have been duped by Satan, the arch deceiver, into using corrupt “bibles”.
23 Such as the Apocrypha contained in the Rheims-Douay version used by Roman Catholic leaders
24 Many modern bibles delete as much as 10% of the text including whole verses or passages when compared to the KJB. This includes mainstream popular versions on the market such as the NIV (New International Version) to the more obscure and specialized versions such as the Masonic “bible”.
25 John 9:4b
26 2 Timothy 3:15
27 John 6:63b…the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

29 Striving Together Publications is a ministry of the Lancaster Baptist Church in Lancaster, California. I recommend them for their faithful books, preaching and other resources that honor God’s pure words.
30 Psalm 119:89
31 The Mormon Church uses the King James Bible. They benefit from its credibility and the image of orthodoxy it provides to enhance their public image as “Christians” even while denying its accuracy and perfection. In fact, they believe the Book of Mormon is superior and corrects errors in the KJB.
32 The modern “bibles” advocates “appear” here in this verse. They are exposed by the implications set forth in the principle taught in this prophetic verse. They have the same stubborn spirit of rebellious Israel. The last part of this verse reflects their attitude toward the LORD in changing from the proven, safe, received, and holy sacred text; a text that our spiritual ancestors and forefathers gave their very lives to protect, as martyrs, “earnestly contending for the faith once delivered”. These godly men and women, who kept His words with their own shed blood, used the preserved and perfect text under the guidance and leadership of the Holy Ghost.
Instead, modern bible advocates and aberrant cults such as Mormons and the Watch Tower Society (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ and their corrupt New World Translation) have craved something new. Satan has taken full advantage of their hearts not being right in this matter. The devils have orchestrated and promoted this deceptive scheme. Ironically, textual critics; self professed men of “scholarship”, have debated the 66 books of the bible itself rather than be involved in the blatant introduction of completely new sacred texts as the cults have done but the results can be virtually identical. These men have used their academic and intellectual pursuits to discover “new” insights from ancient manuscript evidence that are not new at all… but in reality, these ancient text sources are corrupt, taken from monastery waste baskets, ancient cultic libraries recovered from recent archeological discoveries (Dead Sea Scrolls et al.) and from within the satanically manipulated Vatican library itself.
The modern version “bibles” are corrupted from these satanic sources used from the earliest times of the ancient churches as Satan sought to confuse people with his competing “bibles”. This false stream of corrupt texts supports the devil’s false doctrines.
Thankfully, our LORD has (in His mercy to reach out to men) allowed the discovery of even more ancient evidence for the pure text used in our trustworthy King James Bible. These scripture fragments have been uncovered in even more recent Archaeological discoveries. The Papyri collated from Egyptian discoveries agree with the KJB text more than a ratio of 2 to 1. The preponderance of the evidence of quotations by the earliest church leaders such as Polycarp, a disciple of the Apostle John, confirms our King James Bible. And the earliest vernacular bibles in many tongues from the second and third centuries strongly support our King James Bible while exposing others as corrupt.
