THE FLESH: What is the Flesh?

The Flesh warreth against the Spirit

“For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.”
—Galatians 5:17

What is the Flesh?

How Does One Battle the Flesh?

In this Age’s battle for souls, the devil (Satan) has two strong allies: the world and the flesh.

When speaking of spiritual matters, The world refers to the corrupt, sinful system of values set up by men which is antagonistic to the aims and purposes of God.

The flesh refers to the suit of sin every human is encased in, which is a bundle of appetites and lusts and is antagonistic to the aims and purposes of God.

Many sinful activities spring from the flesh.

“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”
—Galatians 5:19-21

All of the listed “works of the flesh” are on public display (and most have their defenders in the Corporate Media) in the World’s Most Christian Nation Ever!™

One of the ways one can tell the times in which we are living is the increase in the works of the flesh.

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
—2 Timothy 3:1-5

The main reason works of the flesh become much more public over the works of the Spirit in the end times can be summed up in one sentence. This sentence was spoken by Jesus Christ.

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”
—Matthew 24:12

Sign of the End Times: Wicked Men Being Evil in Public

The lost and the wicked continuously give in to the appetites of the flesh. When there is any resistance (say against gluttony), it is for cosmetic or selfish reasons.  Not because the activity is sinful.

But the born again believer is constantly at war with the flesh and the appetites and lusts of the flesh. The reason for this warfare is that the man who is a believer now has the help and comfort of God’s Holy Spirit to assist him in his battle against the flesh.

There is no giving in; there is no compromise. The ONLY remedy for the sins of the flesh is to mortify (kill) the flesh.

“Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:”
—Collosians 3:5

And how is one to mortify the flesh?

“And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.”
—Galatians 5:24

However, even with the Spirit’s aid, this does not mean that the believer wins every round against the flesh.

What it means is that when the believer stumbles, he is dragged resisting to such appetites, not running headlong to embrace them.

“For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.”
—Romans 7:15,18

The flesh and its lusts are a powerful ally of Satan and sin.

BUT, with the help of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, the believer can emerge victorious over the appetites of the carnal nature of the flesh.

“For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”
—Romans 8:13

Are you warring against the flesh?

OR, have your surrendered and are being led around by your nose? Are you a slave to sin or are you free?

Fighting the flesh through purely human means is a losing proposition; the Holy Spirit can deliver men from the enslaving poisons of the flesh.

Help is available.

Time is Running Out: Today is the Day of Salvation

“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3

THE GOSPEL

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“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.”
-–Romans 1:16

On This Day in the Secret History: October 4, 2015

THIS DAY in the Secret History
THIS DAY in the Secret History

HISTORY. Conspiracies, murder, secret societies, torture, assassination, war: What REALLY happened on this day in history? The stories behind the grand narrative we call “history” for September 20.

OCTOBER 4, 2015
On This Day
End Times Prophecy Report

SECRET HISTORY: Originally, secret histories were designed as non-fictional, revealing or claiming to reveal the truth behind the “spin”: one such example is the Secret History of the Mongols. Secret histories can range from standard historical revisionism with proper critical reexamination of historical facts to negative historical revisionism wherein facts are deliberately omitted, suppressed or distorted.

“ For the mystery of iniquity doth already work:”
—2 Thessalonians 2:7

23 – Rebels capture and sack the Chinese capital Chang’an during a peasant rebellion. They kill and decapitate the emperor, Wang Mang, two days later.

Assassination is one of the mystery of iniquity’s favorite political tools.

However, the use of rebellion (and pride, one of the devil’s favorite sins) is also a device popular with the workers of iniquity. On this day, October 4, both tools are on display, BUT ESPECIALLY the tool of rebellion.

AMERICAN PRIDE: What Does the Bible Say?

One of the first things rebels do is to give their rebellions wonderful labels like “Revolution!” or “A Fight for Freedom!” They also employ memorable slogans such as “Justice for the downtrodden!” or “No taxation without representation!” or “Remember the Alamo!”

In this way, the rebels hope to disguise the fact that they are fighting just as hard for money, power or control as the ones they seek to overthrow. The main difference: the rebels want to be the ones calling the shots.

Once rebels come to power, there is NO more flowery talk of “Equality!” or “Justice!” From then on, the most frequent words spoken by the rebels are “Crush any rebellions!” and “Do what you’re told!”

One other trick rebels use is to shout that “God is on our side!” But the God of the Bible states clearly to obey the civil authorities.

This is one good reason the workers of iniquity HATE Romans 13:1-2.

“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.”

American Rebel or Child of God: Make Your Choice

In the end, rebellions are all about earthly ends and represent an attack on the established authorities. Which is why all rebellions end up badly after a while and the masses have a hard time telling who’s worse: the rebels or the ones against which they originally rebelled.

610 – Heraclius arrives by ship from Africa at Constantinople, overthrows Byzantine Emperor Phocas and becomes Emperor.

1227 – Assassination of Caliph al-Adil.

1535 – The first complete English-language Bible (the Coverdale Bible) is printed, with translations by William Tyndale and Myles Coverdale.

1597 – The first Guale uprising begins against the Spanish missions in Georgia.

1777 – AMERICAN REVOLUTION:  Battle of Germantown: Troops under George Washington are repelled by British troops under Sir William Howe.

1779 – The Fort Wilson Riot takes place.

1795 – Napoleon Bonaparte first rises to national prominence with a “Whiff of Grapeshot”, using cannon to suppress armed counter-revolutionary rioters threatening the French Legislature (National Convention).

1927 – Gutzon Borglum begins sculpting Mount Rushmore.

One of the ultimate tributes to man and the tiny accomplishments of man.

1965 – Pope Paul VI arrives in New York, the first Pope to visit the United States of America and the Western hemisphere.

Fifty years later, Jorge Mario Bergoglio arrives in Washington DC to visit the United States and is a native of the Western Hemisphere.

1988 – U.S. televangelist Jim Bakker is indicted for fraud.

It’s not the indictment which is the shame: it’s the behaviors which led to the legal action.

HAND OF GOD: No Luck, No Coincidence

HAND OF GOD: No Such Thing as Luck
HAND OF GOD: No Such Thing as Luck

“The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord.”
—Proverbs 16:33

There is no such thing as fate, luck or chance.

Everything is under the control of God Almighty.

Everything.

“Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.”
—Matthew 10:29

Everyone has an appointed time to die.

“If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.”
—Job 14:14

Once man’s appointed time comes and he passes on, he is judged.

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”
—Hebrews 9:27

This should give believers great comfort.

IF it is your appointed time, nothing on earth will be able to stay God’s hand. No amount of armor, no amount of stored freeze-dried food, no amount of precious metals: nothing will save you.

However, IF it is NOT your appointed time, nothing on earth can alter the time of your appointment with God.

NOTE: This doesn’t mean that we’re to provoke or tempt God (such as by jumping out of a 20-story window or walking in traffic blindfolded) as sinners often do.

“And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.”
—Luke 4:12

Do You Know Jesus?

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.“
—Romans 8:28

Time is Running Out: Today is the Day of Salvation

“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3

THE GOSPEL

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

End Times: 7 Observations

END TIMES: Observations and Questions
END TIMES: Observations and Questions

Observations and Questions

There is much written about the end times.

There is much written IN God’s Word and there is much more written OUTSIDE of God’s Word, by men.

Of course, much about the end times is written by unbelievers. Some is written openly by unbelievers, mockers and scoffers. But much more is written by unbelievers posing as Christians.

Which is why so much which is written is nonsense and contradicts what the Bible clearly says.

With that in mind, here are seven observations, along with several pertinent questions, about the end times.

1- IF nothing else, the end times are a time of great deception: lies abound and nowhere are those lies more noticeable than in the pulpits of the churches.

Jesus warned repeatedly of the deception that would mark the end times.

“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.”
—Matthew 24:4

And among the ones laboring under the biggest delusions are the workers of iniquity.

Workers of Iniquity: Deceiving and Deceived

These are the those who spread deceptions and work to corrupt God’s Word, many of them operating from within the churches.

Satan Has Counterfeited the Christian Church

But the masses are deceived as well.

IF by no other sign, the great ubiquitous deception that blanket the world (especially America) is one of the surest ways to recognize the end times.

“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
—Matthew 24:24

There are many other deceptions at work in the dragon’s version of the end times (e.g., GOG-MAGOG is Armageddon, THREAT FROM ABOVE: Space Weapons and Armageddon), but to list them all is beyond the scope of this article.

The Nature of Spiritual Deception

2 – The period of great testing (called The Tribulation, sometimes The Great Tribulation) is three-and-a-half years NOT SEVEN YEARS.

“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.”
—Matthew 24:21

The Bible is VERY CLEAR that this time of testing and tribulation referred to by Jesus (and others) is 3 1/2 years.

Great Tribulation: Periods of Time in Revelation VS Claims of Man

It’s also referred to as “times, time and half a time” or forty-two months or 1260 days.  All equal three-and-a-half years.  Nowhere in the Bible does it mention a seven-year period.

However, that hasn’t stopped the Modern American Prophecy Industry from promoting the antichrist idea that this period is seven years. The other big promoters of this deception are the wolves in the pulpits of the churches and the pre-tribulation rapture shills.

IN FACT, it’s likely the entire endless, false arguments over the “timing of the rapture” (which God’s Word is also very clear about [Matt 24:29 among others]) are conducted just to indoctrinate the masses into the seven-year deception.

So, here’s a question for all of those prophecy-mongers: Will God give the man of sin twice as long a period of ministry as He gave His Son, Jesus Christ?

3- The Bible doesn’t say a third Jewish temple will be erected and God’s Word certainly doesn’t call such a building “the temple of God.”

The temple of God is the believing Church.  Not the visible counterfeit which operates as an extension of Dragon Incorporated, but the One Body of Believers in Jesus Christ: that Church against which Jesus promised the “gates of hell” would not prevail.

“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
—Matthew 16:18

[For a series of pertinent questions on this topic, refer to the two “Third Jewish Temple” pieces listed above.]

[NOTE: This doesn’t mean that such a building will not be erected in Jerusalem by the mystery of iniquity: it most likely will.  BUT this building is not called the temple of God in the Bible and it’s purpose will be to deceive.

And it will achieve its purpose.]

4- Jesus cannot come back at “any moment.”

God is a God of order: He does nothing which contradicts His Word. And God’s Word is absolutely clear that Jesus will not return until two very specific events occur.

“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;”
—2 Thessalonians 2:3

There are two conditions which must be fulfilled before the Second Coming: 1) the falling away (called by some “The Great Falling Away”) must occur; and, 2) the man of sin must be revealed.

The apostle Paul KNEW that the dragon and his many minions would be attempting to confuse the masses on this point. That’s why he prefaces those two very clear, distinct events with “Let no man deceive you…”

The agents of disinformation have attempted to convince the world that the “falling away” is currently taking place: it is not.

The falling away will be that great, end times satanic revival (the deceivers never tire of chattering on about a great end times revival [on which the Bible is silent]) which looks like Christianity but which is really from the dragon (Satan).

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.”
—Revelation 13:11

[The word translated as “falling away” in the KJV is apostasia, which literally means “rebellion.”]

When the falling away takes place, it will LOOK like a great Christian revival. But it will be a great rebellion against God and Jesus Christ.

And it will fool a great many people who do not know the Bible or Jesus.

MAN OF SIN: Preparations are being completed for the man of sin. The man of sin will arise from the midst of the apostate church.
MAN OF SIN: Preparations are being completed for the man of sin. The man of sin will arise from the midst of the apostate church.

While there is much chatter about whether this first condition has been met, there is NO chatter about the second condition. The next time someone gets all starry-eyed and coos: “You know, Jesus can come back at any time.”

Ask them who the man of sin is.

That’s the second condition before Jesus comes back.

Let NO MAN deceive you.

MAN OF SIN: The Man of Sin is Coming

5- One of main arguments when the pretribulation rapture folks begin their spiel, is “Of course we do not see tribulation: Jesus wouldn’t beat up His bride now, would he?”

But the Bible says that persecution and tribulation will be the lot of the true Christian; the believer is to be thankful for such testing, not run from it.

“exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.”
—Acts 14:22

“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.”
—2 Timothy 3:12

In the end times, Jesus is not beating up His Bride: He’s choosing it.

6- The Vatican and the pope ARE NOT “Mystery Babylon.”

“So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
—Revelation 17: 3-5

The dragon and his minions in the mystery of iniquity have spent much time, money and effort to indoctrinate the masses that the Vatican is the “woman on the beast” or “Mystery Babylon” or The New World Order.

The Vatican certainly does have its end times part to play and it will naturally play a part meant to deceive mankind (as it has done for the last 1700 years or so). BUT be forewarned: the pope’s New World Order one-world government is NOT the end-all of satanic deception.

It is only the beginning.

Those who celebrate (what they believe to be) the end of the one-world government with the downfall of the Vatican will be celebrating too early.

The Vatican is a part of the mystery of iniquity’s Babylonian deception, NOT the whole of it–not by a long shot.

7 – The masses are being set up at present to be driven by fear later.

Fear of war, fear of financial collapse, fear of famine and pestilence, fear of persecution: perhaps, fear of all of the above.

Persecution of the Saints: The Fear and the Pit and the Snare

Fear is a great motivator and herder of people.

But believers are NOT to be driven by fear.

Fear in America – Who will You Believe: the Media or the Word of God?

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
—2 Timothy 1:7

Fear: What does the Bible Say about Conquering Fear?

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”
—1 John 4:18

The only fear a Christian is to have is a fear of God, not man.

“The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.”
–Proverbs 29:25

Is the reader a believer: one of the few?

Or, is the reader lost?

Or, a worker of iniquity?

The door has not shut–yet.

“When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:”
—Luke 13:25

There’s yet still time to become a member of the kingdom of heaven.

Time is Running Out: Today is the Day of Salvation

“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3

THE GOSPEL

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“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.”
-–Romans 1:16
