Jesus taught us that love is the fulfilling of the law...

In this, if I love my neighbor as myself, I am not going to break any of the commandments that teach me on how I am to treat my neighbor.

If I love the Lord my God with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength, I am not going to violate any of the commandments that pertain to my relationship with the Lord.

By the law is the knowledge of sin. That means that it gauges whether I am truly loving other people the way I am supposed to, or not.

It also defines for me the answer to the question, What is sin? The apostle John's reply, Sin is the transgression of the law, 1 John 3:4.

Therefore, when in 1 Corinthians 15:34 God says to me through Paul, Awake to righteousness, and sin not, I consider that He is telling me not to violate the law of the Lord.

Of course, the only way anyone can succeed at doing this is to have Christ dwelling in the heart. It is the love of Christ that fulfills the righteousness of the law within us; His love is shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Ghost who is given to us, Romans 5:5. We receive the love of the Lord when we believe in Him and in what He did for us on the Cross, appropriating His shed blood and applying it to our sins so that the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1 John 1:7.

He fills us with His love, and because of His love in our hearts (which is not in word or in tongue only but in deed and in truth, 1 John 3:18) there is no law that will condemn us for our behaviour, Galatians 5:22-23.

We must understand that we are forgiven of all of our wrongdoing in order to obtain this love. It is the forgiveness and the absolute assurance that we are going to heaven (because we called on the name of the Lord, Romans 10:13) that produces the gratitude that is the only proper motivation for obeying the Lord.

Of course, there is an immature Christian faith that is motivated by the fear of the Lord; and truly, it is a valid motivation, for it is indeed wisdom (Job 28:28); however when you are close to your Daddy, and are obedient, you do not have to fear being spanked by Him. If you obey Him out of love for Him, then you do not need fear as a motivation...nevertheless, when love is not in operation, it is always good to have fear as backup motivation for continuing on with the Lord! Your Daddy can and will spank you if you begin to have a rebellious heart that is in willful disobedience.

Many pastors today do not concern themselves with end time prophecy because they've bought into the whole Jesuit Futurist deception that the Antichrist isn't coming until the last seven years of tribulation and that won't take place until the church disappears in the "secret rapture", the false idea that John Nelson Darby added to Jesuit Francisco Ribera's Futurism nonsense. Pastors simply don't see the need to talk about things they believe will have no effect on the church. So, when one brings up Historicism and its papal Antichrist, they get quite upset, much like turning on the light when someone is sound asleep.

When Historicism was smashing the papacy over the head and thousands were fleeing the Whore of Babylon into the waiting arms of Jesus when the Protestant Reformation lifted Christ up for all to see and embrace, the papacy had to find some way to stop the bleeding. They commissioned the Jesuit Order to find an interpretation in Scripture that would refute those "Protestant innovators" and could be used to exonerate the papacy. It is a fact of history that Jesuit Luis Alcazar formulated an interpretation that came to be known as Jesuit Preterism which said the Antichrist already arose and Jesus already came back and all the prophecies of Scripture had been fulfilled in the past. Jesuit Francisco Ribera also came forth with an interpretation which said Antichrist is one man who is coming at the end of time during the last seven years of tribulation where a temple will e rebuilt in Israel and the evil man will sit down in that "temple of God' etc, etc, etc. I've asked people how the flip can a temple in which the sacrifices are an official middle finger in the face of God and His risen Savior be referred to as the "temple of God" - and that the "temple of God" in which the Antichrist will sit is a symbol Paul uses over and over for the church in which sits the pope who "sitteth in the temple of God showing himself that he is God" by his many papal blasphemous claims to be "god on Earth" - and yet these silly Jesuit Futurists stubbornly hold fast to their doctrine.

I read that about the techs in CA buying up land in New Zealand. Are you serious that no more Americans can buy land there? That's discouraging. I thought about it. NZ is controlled by the illuminati however, I read. I was actually thinking of relocating but there is no place that I know of to escape to where their tentacles don't reach. I still believe America is going to continue to get worse and worse. I spoke with a German who fled Germany because of what he saw with the mass migration. He began a community in Panama. I was actually thinking of getting my family to move there. I'm still researching it.
Pastor Doug Batchelor recently said in a sermon that NZ tried raising out of country land purchase prices to astronomical levels, but when these rich Americans continued to buy, they finally outlawed it altogether.
Yes, and I teach and preach from time to time, but I'm not affiliated with AD, though I've supported them financially. If you want your mind totally blown away, check out Vieth's testimony. It will absolutely astonish you. When the man talks about the involvement of Secret Societies and papal intrigue, he knows EXACTLY what he's talking about.
You have nothing to fear. You are immortal until God decides otherwise. Until then, just trust alone in His grace to save you and know that following Jesus in the midst of the shadows of death is infinitely safer than the path of a known way. You cannot save anyone, but the peace of Christ which radiates from your countenance, echos in your words, and surrounds you like the atmosphere of heaven will be that through which the Holy Spirit can work to convert your loved ones around you. He is able to save to the uttermost, is He not?[/QUOTE]

Our church hasn't taught on end time prophecy so I'm very weak on it, only having listened to it on CD a number of times. It used to scare me when I would listen to the dramatized version! I listened to it for a long time over and over but I never really studied it. God has opened a lot up to my understanding in the past months. I'm still trying to learn about the Jesuits, and still a little foggy on everything, but it's coming clearer. I'm seeing that no pastors want to hear about these things so I'm just going to stay quiet about it until God opens their eyes. I was so enthusiastic but when I talked to the one pastor, the more I talked the more I saw concern on his face the more I tried explaining myself. It was a disaster so I didn't say anymore. I'm seeing that sometimes it's best to just remain quiet until God shows them. I don't understand why He does things that way; you would think He would show pastors first. Just another mystery about God.

You're saying the same thing that my sister had explained about Preterism. Arthur Melanson, a radio preacher, used to teach it. I never listened to him or embraced it because God didn't show me it was true. It sounded off when I heard it, but I don't like to make any judgments until I give God a chance to show me. That was years ago and I never heard any more about it.

Of course all the CA techs have the money to buy land there when America collapses. Who knows if they'll be safe there though. I'm beginning to think that maybe the end may not be nuclear but hand to hand combat when the collapse comes. Trump just signed a bill that allows a pipeline of MS-13 here so that is very troubling. They're going to come for our guns next. I just watched a documentary yesterday about how David Hogg is a 25 year old crisis actor from CA and is not a student at all. His father is FBI. It was allegedly a ploy to get everyone to surrender their guns: Parkland School Shooting Archives - James Fetzer

I really like Walter Veith. I was watching one after another of his videos before the holidays, and I have to get back to them. Brakelite had recommended an online book "Vatican Assassins" that I started reading. I'm trying to sort everything out and how it fits with Revelations. It usually takes me a long time to learn because I've never been taught Revelations and I have to read and re-read something until I really grasp it. It's something of a slow process.

I am very concerned about what's ahead. The culture has been poisoned. My husband and his men at work all said the younger guys coming in were all cutthroats - all the older men noticed it. When we were raising a family my husband was exasperated and said "There are no quality kids for our kids to hang out with anywhere around here!" It was very hard keeping the world away from them. I feel so sad for this next generation. I would really like to move out of the U.S. altogether but I don't know where we could go. My grandparents came here from Ireland and I even thought of going there but I read the same garbage is happening there. The only thing is to turn to God. I just wish that He would act. I have a sensitive spirit and when I read the news I get weak in the knees. I may look for some land in a remote area to try to get away from it and get my family away. It's hard when you're working with a limited budget.

I'm waiting for family members to be spiritually reborn. I just gave a family member some booklets and he gave them back. So it's a little discouraging but I know that God will draw them in His time.

I looked at the following verse and I wondered what it meant that power was given to Death to kill with sword, hunger, and death, and with the beasts of the earth. I wondered if that meant that people would resort to killing one another in hand to hand combat, or MS-13 would kill a lot of people since they're being let into the country. Hunger could ensue when the collapse comes. - How do you see it?
Revelation 6:8

“And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”

Revelation 6:8

“And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”
The reason why so many arrive at false conclusions about prophecy is that many don't know about the pertinence of the OT Sanctuary. Daniel's prophecies are filled with Sanctuary symbolism, so is Revelation. When Daniel says "unto two thousand, three hundred days, then shall the sanctuary be cleansed" that should be a major cue for us to turn to the books of Moses and become thoroughly acquainted with the sacrificial system so that we can understand what the symbolism means in end times prophecy.

Jesus our High Priest is seen in Revelation first in the "Holy Place" and secondly in the "Most Holy Place" - just as the earthly High Priest ministered all year in the one and then finally at the last day in the other, when the "cleansing of the sanctuary" took place to purify the sanctuary from all the record of sin that had accumulated all during the ritual year.

It can be clearly shown that the 70 Weeks prophecy of Daniel 9 are "determined" which means "amputated" from the larger prophecy of the 2,300 Days in chapter 8. That means both prophecies begin at the same time. In chapter 9, it says the starting point of the 70 Weeks is "from the going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem unto Messiah the prince" which extra-Biblical archaeology proves what Ezra 7 declares: the "seventh year reign of Artaxerxes" which was 457 B.C. Now, did Messiah show up around 70 literal weeks - 490 days - after that decree? Of course not...but HE DID SHOW UP AROUND 490 YEARS later, 483 to be exact. The last 7 years are those which Jesuit Futurists want so desperately to be chopped off and sent down to the end of time as "the last seven years of tribulation", an idea that logic and common sense prove false. Since the 2,300 days are also symbolic years, that time period is calculated to 1844 A.D. That is when Jesus began to cleanse the Heavenly Sanctuary, the only sanctuary of any end times prophetic significance.

So...whenever we read John presenting his various visions in Revelation, the key to knowing when each vision is to begin to unfold is to take note of what Sanctuary objects John describes seeing while telling us about each vision. If he describes seeing objects in the Holy Place, the visions he presents are to begin unfolding BEFORE the expiration of the 2,300 years. If he describes objects in the Most Holy Place, the visions he presents are to begin unfolding AFTER the expiration of the 2,300 days.

Because "scholars" ignore the Sanctuary and all that pertains to it, they are duped into believing the popular myth that "only the first 3 books of Revelation have been opened" and claim that only after the "rapture" will the rest of Revelation finish unfolding, which is stupid. As if God didn't have a thing to say to the church for the last 2,000 years. "Surely, the Lord God will do nothing except He revealeth His secret to His servants the prophets", but we are to expect that God had nothing to say about the great apostasy of the Roman catholic church, the horrible persecutions of millions upon millions of Christians during the Dark Ages, the light of the Protestant Reformation (Revelation says that at a time that can be shown to refer to the Protestant Reformation, Jesus well give His faithful "the Morning Star", and the brave, intrepid John Wycliffe was called "the Morning Star of the Reformation)??? We aren't just making this stuff up, THIS IS WHAT EVERYONE USED TO BELIEVE BEFORE THE LIE OF JESUIT FUTURISM AND JESUIT PRETERISM TOOK HOLD!!
