“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies," Jn 8:44 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous," 1 Jn 3:12. "When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them and kill them," Rev 11:7." "And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will send gifts to one another, because these two...

```markdown Daniel 12:4 (NLT) "But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase.” "Seal up the scroll." If anything in my assignment is relevant to that instruction, it is the "due season" factor. Yet, not wanting to endure suffering (who does?) that, along with the Nineveh analogy, has been several shepherds' assessment of my assignment. But it is not God's instruction. How do I know? Manifestations The more closely related Daniel 12:4 simile is the prophetic message at the end of that verse. Indeed, in this day and age, especially with the availability of the internet, there is overwhelming access to knowledge. Therefore, many...

```markdown We have all heard the saying "Snitches get stiches." We have been taught to believe that to be a tattle-tale is wrong. Certainly, in our day to day lives dealing with one another, being a talebearer (gossiper) is indeed ungodly. There are several scriptures in Proverbs, in particular, that lend support that theology. Howbeit, real prophets are in fact "God's snitches" if truth. Well, that just makes no sense. Exactly! And this is where the world's view collide with the Word of God. Rooted in greed, wrought of "pride of life," man's priorities are trivial compared to God's purpose: Isaiah 55:9 (KJV) ⁹For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts...

Glorious Sabbath Day People of God: I love music: And I have found that even a seemingly "somber song" can be comforting to the soul, when heard with discerning ears. Before I continue in prophecy and testimony, I pause to give thanks to God for His words of divine intervention. Micah 2:7c (NLT) "If you would do what is right, you would find My words comforting." (Remember to keep it in context) More than just a melody: the previous scriptural interlude is indeed a lyrical masterpiece. This is the beauty in it all: I cannot pronounce judgement over anyone (I can only warn); nor is anyone preeminent to exalt me. For just as only God can judge you; He is likewise the Sovereign One who justifies me [Romans 9]. Therefore, dare you...

Acts 5 (NIV) ²⁹Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than human beings! ³⁰The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead —whom you killed by hanging Him on a cross. ³¹God exalted Him to His own right hand as Prince and Savior that He might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins. ³²We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him." ³²When they heard this, they were furious and wanted to put them to death. There is no forgiveness without repentance. Had Jesus not been crucified, He would not have been exalted. The Holy Spirit bore witness. Are you going to call the Holy Spirit a liar?

```markdown John 3:16 (KJV) ¹⁶For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Isn't that beautiful? Standing alone, that seems to release man from all accountability. Some even preach that it absolves all past, present, and future sin. But, John 3:16 doesn't automatically cover all people; nor does it automatically cover ongoing sin. There are stipulations. Therefore, keeping it in context, let's try it again: John 3 (KJV) ¹⁶For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (To believe requires acceptance of the complete Word of God. Christ, who is The...

As I have tried to clarify before, the highlighted verse, v.20, has nothing to do with giving testimony of surviving childhood sexual abuse, even when the perpetrator is one's own brother. It's about citizens of the land, in this case a nation; those in power, particularly, those of God's household, who mistreat their own countrymen: gossiping, bearing false witness, etc. These people then had the nerve to approach God to seek favor, as if He was oblivious to the entirety of the matter. Hypocrites. Psalms 50:7-23 (NLT) ⁷“O My people, listen as I speak. Here are My charges against you, O Israel: I am God, your God! ⁸I have no complaint about your sacrifices or the burnt offerings you constantly offer. ⁹But I do not need the bulls from...

"AS IT IS WRITTEN" Why Romans Ch. 9 makes absolutely no sense at all. Exactly! God's thoughts and ways are not like ours. Therefore, all He asks us to do is repent, and forgive others as He forgave us. Note To My Hometown: Stop pointing the finger at me and I'll stop having to testify to the accuracy of God's Word concerning you. Both my assignment and your reaction were predetermined long before either this city or me ever existed. It's all already done. Your saving grace was: Isaiah 30:15 (NIV) This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it." The real question is this, "How can we blame and punish one...

Glorious Sabbath Day People of God: All Things Revealed 1 Corinthians 2 (KJV) ⁹But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. ¹⁰But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. Just as God reveals the time for planting, He reveals the time for plucking up. I really wish that I could get through to my hometown. But, if I could, that would mean that the scriptures are inaccurate; which would make God a liar. God is not a liar. Ezekiel 3:7 (NLT) But the people of Israel won’t listen to you any more than they listen to me! For the whole lot of them are...
