BAD NEWS FROM HEAVEN

[[email protected]]

It is written that judgment would begin in the house of the Lord.
If so, then I don't know quite what to make of a story I heard during our men's Bible study this weekend.

Our pastor as well as a couple of elders heard this story from persons who attended a recent national meeting of the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA). Our church isn't Presbyterian, but our guys have close friends there.

For generations, the Presbyterian Church has been famous for it's rigid compliance to scripture & morality.

A small group of men usually gather prior to the annual PCUSA meeting to pray for the sessions. That's all the small group does and they do it in a separate nearby location.

The large meeting room has a huge electronic board which is used to tally and display the vote, kind of like the type you see in State legislatures. The annual sessions usually deal with boring matters, but the recent meeting had a radical agenda. The last item on the agenda was an amendment to the church interpretation of scripture. The item asked for a vote to change the view of the Bible from THE word of God to A word of God. When passed it would effectively dilute the substance of the entire book to the level of a secular work. Rumors anticipated that the vote would accept the change by a dramatic margin.

The convention was held for a full week and the weather had been beautiful; warm, clear and sunny. Just before the vote was to be taken the sky suddenly became dark cloudy and ominous. Lightning flashed and a loud clap of thunder shook the entire building. The power went out and the electronic tally board went dark. When power was restored the vote was taken. The item to change the status of the Bible was accepted.

At the same time over in the prayer room, every member suddenly received the impression that they were released from prayer for the PCUSA; permanently.

The persons who told me this story are reliable honest men.
They are not taken to flights of fancy or conspiracy theories.
I believe that what they told me is true.
The meaning of it, in terms of the tide of future events, eludes me.

The meaning of that certainly does not elude me brother. There's been a long-time movement by the 'beasts' to move Christianity out of its exclusivity, to render it under world Socialism so it can be delegated along with other of the world's religions per the Inter-Faith joining. I've warned of this several times on this forum already, even quoting articles written by the Russian Orthodoxy and Catholic Church in their promotion of all the world's religions joining together in world peace.

This kind of movement is end time prophecy. Our Lord Jesus already warned us about it, especially in His Book of Revelation. Christ's true Church is of The Spirit, and that's what matters, not organizations of men. This is specifically our Lord's warning of coming out of Babylon for the last days, so as to not be partaker of the plagues upon the Babylon harlot.

The idea of the Babylon as a 'harlot' per Rev.17 is important, for it involves a false marriage of a bride, those that are deceived. She says she sits "a queen", and "am no widow", which are pointers to her marriage to another (a false one), which is how she becomes a harlot. At the end of Rev.17 we're told that is about a specific city (Jerusalem), but it's what that city will represent in that time for the rest of the world that really hits this harlot idea home.

The next things you should start also seeing, since those leaders have fallen away to do such a thing, is their eventual acceptance of other religions as simply 'other paths' to Salvation. And you might start seeing those leaders partaking in the Inter-Faith joining towards Socialist doctrine applied to religion.

A friend sent me a link to an article about a similar event which occured during the 2009 Lutheran convention. During that convention, homosexuality was accepted and a mysterious tornado appeared to create minor damage to the venue.

The story also has a photo of the damage.

Apparently our God is not politically correct.

So what is new? The Church has been in a state of persecution since Stephen was stoned. Granted it ebbs and flows but it has been continual over the millenniums. To date about 75,000,000 Christians have died for their faith. The first organized persecution of Christians by the government was by Nero: Approx 5,000 were cruelly murdered. Then came the book of Revelation that warned the Christians of the persecution that would be coming starting in 93AD and continuing throughout the Roman empire. There was an estimated martyrdom under Rome of 2,100,000.

Today the hybrid American Church is so impotent it hardly draws any persecution. I have heard of a coming of hard times; and I have also heard that 80 percent of Christians today will fall away from the faith. I'll wait and see myself as I hear his stuff all of the time - and it mostly doesn't come to pass. In any event I have already prepared for hard times over the past decade.
