Matthew 13:14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, 'By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive:
Prophecy is an magnet that has drawn billion into following men instead of worshiping in Spirit and truth. Prophecy has a profound impact upon some human, which becomes their life's obsession. The fear of not knowing a particular event found in their bibles stalks them into a life enslaved by the latest news event, piecing each new happening into a spider web of scriptures and time tables to bring forth the hidden secret of the end of our world.
Romans 8:15 For you didn't receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba{Abba is an Aramaic word for father or daddy, often used affectionately and respectfully in prayer to our Father in heaven.}! Father!"
Such obsessive behavior denies the very personality of the person they confess to represent, the Christ! There seems to be nothing that will turn a person back once started down this road, no reasonably explanation, no fear of being accounting themselves as a false prophet, nothing, not even the truth from the bible will turn one who has put on a new personality created according end days prophecy.
John 2:24 But Jesus didn't trust himself to them, because he knew everyone.
Hebrews 2:13 Again, "I will put my trust in him."{Isaiah 8:17} Again, "Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me."{Isaiah 8:18}
Jeremiah 7:4 Don't you trust in lying words, saying, The temple of Yahweh, the temple of Yahweh, the temple of Yahweh, are these.
Although, the statements above are provocative they are not meant for the person wanting to reasonable understanding of why promoting prophecy is such a important issue to some person excluding all else in the scriptures? Nor will this document turn those back whom have harden themselves into life's pursuit of prophecy to the exclusion of Christ like personality. These words are stated to shock some into sobering up before they fall into the trap of prophecy so they may search for a reasonable understanding of some basic truths of the scriptures allowing them to rest in faith, and not upon finding the latest secret information coming from a biblical prophecy to save their lives at the end of our world.
Luke 21:18 And not a hair of your head will perish.
John 3:15 that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Did Christ Lie to Us?
First basic truth that we have to decided in building our house of faith, did Christ lie to us? Every Christian's upon this earth would say that is a ridiculous statement Christ cannot lie!
Hebrews 6:18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.
James 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.
However, when Christ states for us not to be anxious about tomorrow was he lying? Well, now that is not so easy at times, but that wasn't the question? The question was, did Christ lie to us not if its is easy or because its seems impossible not to be anxious? No he did not! We all fail in this at time because we all fall short of the glory of God. But still God cannot lie, so why do so many Christian's think God can lie when it comes to saving themselves by prophecy?
Matt.7:8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened. 7:9 Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 7:10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent? 7:11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
In other words, foundational truth of our faith, Christ Jesus promises us that our Father will not hand us a serpent when asking for a good gift from him? Did Christ lie? Has God been handing mankind for some two thousand's years a serpent of prophecy, one after another that has failed them? Because none, shockingly, none! Of them have proven true when its comes to the end of our world, not one! They have all bitten people with bitter and everlasting poison, causing many to go off into the very destruction of their faith, did Christ lie? Has he handed us a serpent because he state if we ask he give us a good gift, or have we missed something?
If Christ lied, than we have no faith! If our very hopes are based upon a lie, our foundation is nothing more than a fiction, a fallacy contrived by men.
Rev.22:18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may God add to him the plagues which are written in this book.
John 3:14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 3:15 that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Conversely, perhaps its man that lie, and Christ had nothing to do with their prediction of end times prophecy at all? But those making them in order to gain creditability for their prophecy tagged God's name too them by mixing in scriptures?
Here we have come upon another standard Christ calls the truth, its not easy, its not fun, but it is the truth of both God and Christ, and what is that? “Let your yes mean yes, and your no, no, because anything in between yes and no is from the wicked one”.
Matt.6:25 Therefore, I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 6:26 See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they? 6:27 "Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment{literally, cubit} to his lifespan?
Matt.5:37 But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
If we don't start at this basic truth we will be on middle ground of confusion and darkness over the subject of failed prophecy. It was, and is men that lie, not God or Christ, those prophecies were not given by God or Christ because they cannot lie, they speak truth. The fact the prophecy has failed proves it was not from God or Christ that is their standard of proof not man's. God and Christ say there is nothing in between accept for a person that chose to live a lie.
Deuteronomy 13:5 That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to draw you aside out of the way which Yahweh your God commanded you to walk in. So you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.
Why Has Prophecy Failed Since Christ?
We must individually hold our own feet to the fire on this subject as will, we must test our faith against the truth of the scriptures, or we will be mislead. We must never think I am special, and I cannot be mislead that is a lie. Every person can be mislead according to God. However not by God if we are honestly seeking the truth, but by our own motives, so what is the driving motive of most Christian's believing and teaching prophecy as saving us?
James 4:1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your pleasures that war in your members? 4:2 You lust, and don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war. You don't have, because you don't ask. 4:3 You ask, and don't receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures. 4:4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 4:5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously"? 4:6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."{Proverbs 3:34}
We all have a mother if she was an active part of our lives, thus, we have a similarly personality form by her training. Many Christian's have been birth by an earthly religion although they may no longer be apart of it, they carry with them the same personality of their mother. Subsequently, you can take the person out of the religion, but not the religion out of the person.
Ecclesiastes 1:15 That which is crooked can't be made straight; and that which is lacking can't be counted.
This is not an exaggeration, it is a truth. Some group highest pinnacle is prophecy the key to all truth's, or having the truth. Subsequently, the most looked up to within their group are those put in charge of giving prophecy and interpretation of prophecy. This education from birth appeals to the pride of our flesh. Thus, it becomes quest for many to find the truth of prophecy at all cost. They want to be important in other eyes. If instead it was doing power works of healing like some religious groups practice as the key than their life long quest would be to heal people. If it were speaking in tongue than that would be the quest no matter if they were in or out of their mothers religions that would be the identifying mark of truth for them! And so goes the truth behind why some are fixated upon prophecy.
Zechariah 13:9 I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, 'It is my people;' and they will say, 'Yahweh is my God.'"
1 Corinthians 3:13 each man's work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man's work is.
Ezekiel 16:3 and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Jerusalem: Your birth and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hittite.
Hosea 2:2 Contend with your mother! Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
We either face the truth, or we lie, and if we lie to keep something we decide is important over the rest of the truth in the bible, it will fail us, it will come to destruction, but there is something worst here and which real Christian's should soberly thinking about, and what is that? How many people will we hurt spiritually to maintain a lie? To promote prophecy over the rest of the scriptures because that is what excites us as being the most important thing contain in God's word the bible?
1 Thessalonians 5:21 Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
James 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
Matthew 10:42 Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward."
Truth of Why Prophecy Has Failed Since Christ?
All truth is establish by facts, when a prophet state he speaks for God the facts will establish the truth, did the prophecy come true or not? Two thousand's years since Christ and his apostles were upon earth not one prophecy spoken by man has come truth regarding Christ coming. Remembering now, God Himself hasn't put his stamp of approval upon any of those prophecies.
2 Peter 1:21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit. That is the facts supporting the truth, so those facts puts each one of us into finding out why this truth exist? Did Christ say something, or our bibles that we have overlooked about prophecy so that mankind has such an inaccurate understanding of the subject allowing it to fooling hundreds of generations upon earth since Christ?
Proverbs 9:13 The foolish woman is loud, Undisciplined, and knows nothing.
Proverbs 14:1 Every wise woman builds her house, but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands.
Ecclesiastes 4:13 Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who doesn't know how to receive admonition any more.
Matthew 25:8 The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'
Indeed, Christ told us the truth, before his own death that this would happen, and what was that truth?
Galatians 5:9 A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
Here we must deviate for a moment to establish some basic truths so we may accept the truth of Christ words. God's prophecy through Christ must come from where? It comes from truth, not a mixture, or a refining of truth over the years of people in their sinful flesh coming to a more accurate knowledge. Truth is establish from its speaking, in our case the mouth of Christ, it is not a mixture of truth and lies. We as sinner may not accept the truth, but that does not mean truth grows with human understanding. It means truth is, and exist because God speaks it, so what truth did Jesus warn us about but we have refused to listen regarding prophecy?
1 Corinthians 5:7 Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.
The mixing of yeast, and the Christ is false religion, it is not the truth of Christ words, it is the taking out of context to support human reasoning to make a point. So truth cannot come from mankind, it must come from God, and Christ whom speak truth, pure unadulterated truth with no lie of corruption from sin found in it, or its a lie, and not the truth! This is God's standard of truth he gives and judges all prophecy against, is that our standard of truth, is it our religions standards, or the internets standard of prophecy?
Romans 1:25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
If we love truth, than we should acknowledge what the bible speak of where prophecy has been placed by God for our times, do you know that simple truth? It is in Christ Jesus, and no other place, why? For the very reasons spoken above to make it truth, so we can put our faith in proven tested truth without chance of doubt. Hence, so we are not destroyed by false prophets found throughout the last days since Christ time. Christ prove faithful as our faithful slave no man has yet been declared God's faithful slaving making him God chosen prophet for the last days!
2 Peter 1:16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Jude 1:25 to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.
1 Peter 1:5 who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Wheat and Weeds
Christ left us no doubt there would be trouble times for all real Christian's upon earth after him and his apostles died off the earth, a time of living among falsehoods and lies, there would be many false prophets during that time of darkness found in the field of God's planting overtaken by Satan, God's enemy.
1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
Revelation 14:15 Another angel came out from the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, "Send forth your sickle, and reap; for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe!"
Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
1Tim.3:1 But know this, that in the last days, grievous times will come. 3:2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3:3 without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, 3:4 traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; 3:5 holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof. Turn away from these, also. 3:6 For of these are those who creep into houses, and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 3:7 always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Nothing will be establish regarding God's people until Christ comes back, and takes out of the field of God planting his wheat class, no prophecy will come as new among a mixture of truths and lies. There is no united group of God's anointed upon earth with pure truth speaking prophecy because God has not taken them out of his field of wheat destroying the weeds by his angels at the harvest time, that is, at Christ coming. Many during this dark period have roved about seeking truth, but its not God's appointed time until Christ returns separating truth from the lie as God's one appointed prophet speaking pure truth through his body members.
Rev.14:1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. 14:2 I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps. 14:3 They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth. 14:4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. 14:5 In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.{TR adds "before the throne of God"}
Many have sought truth to find only failure and corruption in man's efforts, many have taught they are chosen out of that field and put in charge of others feeding them prophecy. But the fact remains, which establish the truth. In all the thousand's upon thousand's of Christian religion none have found a lasting doctrine of truth without finding the corruption of man needing constant readjusting. The standard of truth is not God's standard at all. It is rather an accept standard by humans wisdom to boast in a mixture of scriptures with sin, which is a lie.
1 Corinthians 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?
A Yeast Kingdom Starts
What is a yeast Kingdom? Well, its not the truth, it is corrupted by sin of human. Has that kingdom been proven by the facts of two thousand's years of religion on earth since Christ did the prophet of God tell us the truth before it happen? Yes, it has! Moreover, the fact show since the yeast kingdom over took the kingdom of God in the field of wheat, no lasting truthful prophecy has come true. What we find instead is a constant justification by human wisdom to condone false prophecy as though it was no big deal. The same deal that cost false prophets their lives in the history of Israels. Hence, calling evil good, by mankind standard of truth, which is a mixture of yeast/sin with scriptures.
James 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water. 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom. 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth. 3:15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic. 3:16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
Christ does not involve himself in a lie, or the corruption of our fallen flesh to support a religion upon earth. Does the truth bear this out by Christ own words? Absolutely! Christ has brothers and sisters in a field overwhelmed by false religion that is the truth, they are as Daniel the prophet of God spoke getting a little help to maintain their faith in waiting upon the master return or in their own death on earth.
Daniel Daniel 11:34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help; but many shall join themselves to them with flatteries.
Daniel 12:1 "At that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be found written in the book. 12:2 Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 12:3 Those who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and those who turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever. 12:4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run back and forth, and knowledge shall be increased."
Daniel 12:8 I heard, but I didn't understand: then said I, my lord, what shall be the issue of these things? 12:9 He said, Go your way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. 12:10 Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but those who are wise shall understand.
Christ does not pick fruit from a yeast kingdom, and/or a counterfeit kingdom and boast in those works. Men do by flattery, men label them Christ works, but Christ has nothing to do with those works. Do weeds Christian's roman about seeking truth of the end of our world? Yes! They want that truth so badly they will destroy peoples lives to make it fit into their lives and others. Such information gives men power over others, such information is sought by the highest of position upon earth since Christ. Such information the wicked spirit son's of God want to know, and will uses powerful signs and portend to boldly profess through human that information.
But God has not entrusted the day or hour to anyone, so anything beyond yes, or no is a lie, and the ground of false religion stolen God's word by the field of weed Christian's who adorn themselves with flattery of men.
Proverbs 6:24 to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife's tongue.
1 Thessalonians 2:5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
Thousand's of earth shaking events have occurred since Christ as upon this earth, greater destruction in other generations, which devastated mass amounts of human life upon earth, just recently the tsunami killing thousand's of lives Christian's and otherwise, world war one and two to mention a few. Where was God's prophets than in protecting lives telling people to flee to the mountains? Yet, today we have prophet after prophet telling people to flee out of New York city, why are those lives anymore important than the lives in other destruction's?
Revelation 18:4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don't receive of her plagues.
Walking In Faith
Can any Christian's be saved without faith? No! But why is such a simple truth overlooked so conveniently by those promoting their prophecy as a warning coming from God as life and death? Because they wish to steal your faith in Christ for a faith in them, and their interpretation of the scriptures? In other words, they are special being anointed of God, and because of that God has chosen to uses them to give us the end of the worlds events, that is, before Christ does ahead of time so we can do what? Save ourselves, save others, for what purposes?
John 10:9 I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.
Acts 16:31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God's wrath through him.
Actually, can a honest person imagine that a group would demand putting faith in certain prophecy and if not they will removed the person as a wicked man from among themselves, if they did not believe they spoke for God? Again for what purpose does one demand such loyalty if it is not they think they are God's chosen channel for prophecy, and our disobeying their words are tantamount to denying God himself!
Romans 8:24 For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?
Romans 10:9 that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Those that wish to make a joke out of such evil, justifying it as a mere flash in the pants nothing important because the prophecy had to be changed and/or was proven false are loving the lie. Faith stolen from a little one, is an evil that will end in a sea with milestone hung upon their neck.
Faith is precious, it is found upon truth, faith is trust in the one giving the prophecy as coming from God, or Christ. It is something the person teaches as truth to others, and above all it represents the Father from which it comes from. We Christian's are to build up faith “in Christ” not prophecy, why Christ? Because all else is an idol of false worship. Truth is the Christ no where else is found God's truth for us. We as Christian's are not God's truth, we speak truth from our head Christ Jesus, but we do not say we are the truth.
Romans 10:13 For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."{Joel 2:32}
Ephesians 2:8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.
Hence, our faith is in truth, Christ Jesus, we build up our trust in Christ Jesus by his promise to us, do we live in fear that Christ is every changing like mankind prophecy about end of our world are? Do we put faith in words or in truth “Christ” his words too us? If Christ said we need to rest in faith in God day of Sabbath, Christ being that Sabbath than why are we seeking some other salvation in prophecy? Has Christ changed when he tell us none will perish that believe in him?
2 Thessalonians 2:10 and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn't receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2 Timothy 1:9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal.
Jude 1:5 Now I desire to remind you, though you already know this, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who didn't believe.
John 10:10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
John 10:28 I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
The deceptive power of prophecy is to convince us that the person speaking is talking for Christ making their words the truth, but do we look to man for our salvation or have we received salvation by believing Christ has forgiveness us our sins? In other words, has Christ now changed saying: “ Here is one more piece of information I ask you to stake your eternal life on, a new prophecy about the end of the world so you must go to that person or group to be feed by me spiritually.”
John 11:25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
John 12:25 He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.
Resting in faith is not working in faith to find a new salvation by prophecy. Resting means to stop doing our ways, our works, and believe in the works of Christ as our salvation. This is the faith we build up in each others, when we doubt, we encourage in the power of Christ, where we correct we do so to bring a person back into trusting Christ for every need spiritually in their life. Where we find ourselves in idolatry we encourage to trust in Christ.
John 20:31 but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.
1 Corinthians 16:22 If any man doesn't love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed{Greek: anathema.}. Come, Lord!{Aramaic: Maranatha!}
1 Corinthians 6:15 Don't you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!
1 Corinthians 3:11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:2 For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
Truthful Prophecy
When prophecy is truth it is when we speak of Christ, and Christ speaks through us to build up those in the body of Christ. How can we do that when the very words we speak causes doubt in our listener that we ourselves are saved in Christ? Instead preaching our interpretation of prophecy as Christ?
Ephesians 1:13 in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation,--in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.
In other words, if they don't believe our prophecy they are not saved? If they disagree with us and our interpretation of the end they are an apostates from the salvation of Christ.
Matthew 18:32 Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
Matt.24:47 Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has. 24:48 But if that evil servant should say in his heart, 'My lord is delaying his coming,' 24:49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards.
Faith in Christ is we have received eternal life, or Christ and his apostles were lying. Not one said, believe this prophecy of end times and you are saved. Faith in Christ is personal, given us from God as a gift of Christ Jesus life, and nothing in heaven or earth can separated us from God's love, not even the accusation used to intimated people into enslavement of false teachings.
Rom.8:33 Who could bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who justifies. 8:34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 8:36 Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter."{Psalm 44:22} 8:37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Faith Saves Us
Faith is not from our own strength, something we muster up like courage to face an enemy. Fleshly faith mankind is that, they put faith in their governments, religion, and business to provide them with a living that faith comes flesh dead in Christ. which is an act of our flesh in convincing ourselves we can trust something to put faith in.
1 Corinthians 2:5 that your faith wouldn't stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
1 Corinthians 12:9 to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the same Spirit;
Faith for Christian's is found in God's Holy Spirit as a gift distributed to each one of us as God desires. Faith of by Holy Spirit can increase and decrease according the God working in us.
Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.
Romans 12:6 Having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, if prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
2 Peter 1:21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
Some find this terribly offensive because they insist it is their personal faith that saves them without God's help. But the truth is God created us even if we don't have the gift of faith given by Holy Spirit, we do have faith from our flesh under sin. So what is the faith that saves us, and Christ is looking for in?
1 Corinthians 4:7 For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn't receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
Is it faith in some prophecy because its seems correct, using much logic from the scriptures? no! It is faith in Christ Jesus, because we are members belong to him. He is our head, our body, so there can be no more than one faith. It is his faith coming too us as members belong to him that Christ gives us as gifts of the Spirit. But it is not in and of ourselves that we speak for God because we use the scriptures for even Satan did that and does that!
1 Timothy 4:1 But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
James 2:19 You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.
1 Corinthians 6:17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
1 Corinthians 8:6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
Faith in Christ faithfulness to his Father as the head of us, the congregation, under his headship as our mouth speaking about what? The Good News of the finish works of God in saving us. About Christ works not our own works, but Christ working through us by his faith. The primary doctrine of all Christian's is they don't belong to themselves, but Christ being purchase for God will and glory. Understanding the headship arrange that Christ himself was under while upon earth and in heaven.
Colossians 2:19 and not holding firmly to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with God's growth.
1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.
What works did Christ speak of? Not his own, but every utterance coming from God's mouth, do you really believe that is true of any human on this earth, that they only speak what the Father tells when speaking prophecy?
John 14:10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
Christ is entrusted because he is faithful and true to his every action and word. He is truth, he is faithful, he is the temple of God where the Holy Spirit exist for us today. He than is the faithful slave and oneday all those faithful onto death will be a faithful slave exulted by God ruling with Christ.
Philp.2:1 If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion, 2:2 make my joy full, by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind; 2:3 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself; 2:4 each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others. 2:5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus, 2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, 2:7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. 2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross. 2:9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; 2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, 2:11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
We must face the facts to prove the truth the bible is not being yet written, it has not been added to by God since Christ took his seat as king and was made God's one prophet. Nothing on earth, under the heavens has God stamped as his prophet expect Christ.
Heb.1:1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 1:2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.
We are specifically speaking of prophecy of the last day. There is prophecy that most never speak about, and that is the good news, forgetting that most prophecy is about helping others too be saved in Christ. Many of Christ brothers have spoken prophecy regarding peoples salvation where Christ speaking through them for that purpose. Much of that is done by the person faith to let them know the message and timing is from God's hands, and not the person.
2 Timothy 1:13 Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
2 Corinthians 4:13 But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke."{Psalm 116:10} We also believe, and therefore also we speak;
We have all experience the profound affect that has on ones life when miraculously we are given a message we needed to hear from a brother of sister. What prophecy is not, is searching through the scriptures to find information to support our personal agenda. The bible is written in away that any subject you wish to support to justify a certain agenda one can find it. The truth is by faith, and our believing God's truth will be given us freely if we accept God's ways.
Isa.40:14 Who did he take counsel with, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding? 40:15 Behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket, and are regarded as a speck of dust on a balance. Behold, he lifts up the islands like a very little thing.
Truth is an honest effort to have God helps us to change and come to know him because he is love. It is our belief that God's wants to help us and has proven so by giving us his Son Christ Jesus. Truth is not supporting a sin we may have and want to justify that sin by scriptures or find a group of people with them same desires as us to support our habit.
1 John 3:4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
Truth is not seeing something no matter how convincing it is, and than deviling into the bible to support what we saw. The truth does not uphold man, the truth upholds God righteousness, and his Son Christ Jesus. The truth of God expose us as sinner, needing God's help to learn his ways, and Christ sacrifice to be forgiven, not our own views, or a group nor a particular belief we want to validate.
2 Peter 1:20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.

Prophecies II
Matthew 13:14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, 'By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive:
Prophecy is an magnet that has drawn billion into following men instead of worshiping in Spirit and truth. Prophecy has a profound impact upon some human, which becomes their life's obsession. The fear of not knowing a particular event found in their bibles stalks them into a life enslaved by the latest news event, piecing each new happening into a spider web of scriptures and time tables to bring forth the hidden secret of the end of our world.
Romans 8:15 For you didn't receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba{Abba is an Aramaic word for father or daddy, often used affectionately and respectfully in prayer to our Father in heaven.}! Father!"
Such obsessive behavior denies the very personality of the person they confess to represent, the Christ! There seems to be nothing that will turn a person back once started down this road, no reasonably explanation, no fear of being accounting themselves as a false prophet, nothing, not even the truth from the bible will turn one who has put on a new personality created according end days prophecy.
John 2:24 But Jesus didn't trust himself to them, because he knew everyone.
Hebrews 2:13 Again, "I will put my trust in him."{Isaiah 8:17} Again, "Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me."{Isaiah 8:18}
Jeremiah 7:4 Don't you trust in lying words, saying, The temple of Yahweh, the temple of Yahweh, the temple of Yahweh, are these.
Although, the statements above are provocative they are not meant for the person wanting to reasonable understanding of why promoting prophecy is such a important issue to some person excluding all else in the scriptures? Nor will this document turn those back whom have harden themselves into life's pursuit of prophecy to the exclusion of Christ like personality. These words are stated to shock some into sobering up before they fall into the trap of prophecy so they may search for a reasonable understanding of some basic truths of the scriptures allowing them to rest in faith, and not upon finding the latest secret information coming from a biblical prophecy to save their lives at the end of our world.
Luke 21:18 And not a hair of your head will perish.
John 3:15 that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Did Christ Lie to Us?
First basic truth that we have to decided in building our house of faith, did Christ lie to us? Every Christian's upon this earth would say that is a ridiculous statement Christ cannot lie!
Hebrews 6:18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.
James 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.
However, when Christ states for us not to be anxious about tomorrow was he lying? Well, now that is not so easy at times, but that wasn't the question? The question was, did Christ lie to us not if its is easy or because its seems impossible not to be anxious? No he did not! We all fail in this at time because we all fall short of the glory of God. But still God cannot lie, so why do so many Christian's think God can lie when it comes to saving themselves by prophecy?
Matt.7:8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened. 7:9 Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 7:10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent? 7:11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
In other words, foundational truth of our faith, Christ Jesus promises us that our Father will not hand us a serpent when asking for a good gift from him? Did Christ lie? Has God been handing mankind for some two thousand's years a serpent of prophecy, one after another that has failed them? Because none, shockingly, none! Of them have proven true when its comes to the end of our world, not one! They have all bitten people with bitter and everlasting poison, causing many to go off into the very destruction of their faith, did Christ lie? Has he handed us a serpent because he state if we ask he give us a good gift, or have we missed something?
If Christ lied, than we have no faith! If our very hopes are based upon a lie, our foundation is nothing more than a fiction, a fallacy contrived by men.
Rev.22:18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may God add to him the plagues which are written in this book.
John 3:14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 3:15 that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Conversely, perhaps its man that lie, and Christ had nothing to do with their prediction of end times prophecy at all? But those making them in order to gain creditability for their prophecy tagged God's name too them by mixing in scriptures?
Here we have come upon another standard Christ calls the truth, its not easy, its not fun, but it is the truth of both God and Christ, and what is that? “Let your yes mean yes, and your no, no, because anything in between yes and no is from the wicked one”.
Matt.6:25 Therefore, I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 6:26 See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they? 6:27 "Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment{literally, cubit} to his lifespan?
Matt.5:37 But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
If we don't start at this basic truth we will be on middle ground of confusion and darkness over the subject of failed prophecy. It was, and is men that lie, not God or Christ, those prophecies were not given by God or Christ because they cannot lie, they speak truth. The fact the prophecy has failed proves it was not from God or Christ that is their standard of proof not man's. God and Christ say there is nothing in between accept for a person that chose to live a lie.
Deuteronomy 13:5 That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to draw you aside out of the way which Yahweh your God commanded you to walk in. So you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.
Why Has Prophecy Failed Since Christ?
We must individually hold our own feet to the fire on this subject as will, we must test our faith against the truth of the scriptures, or we will be mislead. We must never think I am special, and I cannot be mislead that is a lie. Every person can be mislead according to God. However not by God if we are honestly seeking the truth, but by our own motives, so what is the driving motive of most Christian's believing and teaching prophecy as saving us?
James 4:1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your pleasures that war in your members?
4:2 You lust, and don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war. You don't have, because you don't ask.
4:3 You ask, and don't receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures.
4:4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
4:5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously"? 4:6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."{Proverbs 3:34}
We all have a mother if she was an active part of our lives, thus, we have a similarly personality form by her training. Many Christian's have been birth by an earthly religion although they may no longer be apart of it, they carry with them the same personality of their mother. Subsequently, you can take the person out of the religion, but not the religion out of the person.
Ecclesiastes 1:15 That which is crooked can't be made straight; and that which is lacking can't be counted.
This is not an exaggeration, it is a truth. Some group highest pinnacle is prophecy the key to all truth's, or having the truth. Subsequently, the most looked up to within their group are those put in charge of giving prophecy and interpretation of prophecy. This education from birth appeals to the pride of our flesh. Thus, it becomes quest for many to find the truth of prophecy at all cost. They want to be important in other eyes. If instead it was doing power works of healing like some religious groups practice as the key than their life long quest would be to heal people. If it were speaking in tongue than that would be the quest no matter if they were in or out of their mothers religions that would be the identifying mark of truth for them! And so goes the truth behind why some are fixated upon prophecy.
Zechariah 13:9 I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, 'It is my people;' and they will say, 'Yahweh is my God.'"
1 Corinthians 3:13 each man's work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man's work is.
Ezekiel 16:3 and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Jerusalem: Your birth and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hittite.
Hosea 2:2 Contend with your mother! Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
We either face the truth, or we lie, and if we lie to keep something we decide is important over the rest of the truth in the bible, it will fail us, it will come to destruction, but there is something worst here and which real Christian's should soberly thinking about, and what is that? How many people will we hurt spiritually to maintain a lie? To promote prophecy over the rest of the scriptures because that is what excites us as being the most important thing contain in God's word the bible?
1 Thessalonians 5:21 Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
James 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
Matthew 10:42 Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward."
Truth of Why Prophecy Has Failed Since Christ?
All truth is establish by facts, when a prophet state he speaks for God the facts will establish the truth, did the prophecy come true or not? Two thousand's years since Christ and his apostles were upon earth not one prophecy spoken by man has come truth regarding Christ coming. Remembering now, God Himself hasn't put his stamp of approval upon any of those prophecies.
2 Peter 1:21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
That is the facts supporting the truth, so those facts puts each one of us into finding out why this truth exist? Did Christ say something, or our bibles that we have overlooked about prophecy so that mankind has such an inaccurate understanding of the subject allowing it to fooling hundreds of generations upon earth since Christ?
Proverbs 9:13 The foolish woman is loud, Undisciplined, and knows nothing.
Proverbs 14:1 Every wise woman builds her house, but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands.
Ecclesiastes 4:13 Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish king who doesn't know how to receive admonition any more.
Matthew 25:8 The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'
Indeed, Christ told us the truth, before his own death that this would happen, and what was that truth?
Galatians 5:9 A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
Here we must deviate for a moment to establish some basic truths so we may accept the truth of Christ words. God's prophecy through Christ must come from where? It comes from truth, not a mixture, or a refining of truth over the years of people in their sinful flesh coming to a more accurate knowledge. Truth is establish from its speaking, in our case the mouth of Christ, it is not a mixture of truth and lies. We as sinner may not accept the truth, but that does not mean truth grows with human understanding. It means truth is, and exist because God speaks it, so what truth did Jesus warn us about but we have refused to listen regarding prophecy?
1 Corinthians 5:7 Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place.
The mixing of yeast, and the Christ is false religion, it is not the truth of Christ words, it is the taking out of context to support human reasoning to make a point. So truth cannot come from mankind, it must come from God, and Christ whom speak truth, pure unadulterated truth with no lie of corruption from sin found in it, or its a lie, and not the truth! This is God's standard of truth he gives and judges all prophecy against, is that our standard of truth, is it our religions standards, or the internets standard of prophecy?
Romans 1:25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
If we love truth, than we should acknowledge what the bible speak of where prophecy has been placed by God for our times, do you know that simple truth? It is in Christ Jesus, and no other place, why? For the very reasons spoken above to make it truth, so we can put our faith in proven tested truth without chance of doubt. Hence, so we are not destroyed by false prophets found throughout the last days since Christ time. Christ prove faithful as our faithful slave no man has yet been declared God's faithful slaving making him God chosen prophet for the last days!
2 Peter 1:16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Jude 1:25 to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.
1 Peter 1:5 who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Wheat and Weeds
Christ left us no doubt there would be trouble times for all real Christian's upon earth after him and his apostles died off the earth, a time of living among falsehoods and lies, there would be many false prophets during that time of darkness found in the field of God's planting overtaken by Satan, God's enemy.
1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
Revelation 14:15 Another angel came out from the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, "Send forth your sickle, and reap; for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe!"
Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, "First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
1Tim.3:1 But know this, that in the last days, grievous times will come.
3:2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3:3 without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, 3:4 traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
3:5 holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof. Turn away from these, also. 3:6 For of these are those who creep into houses, and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 3:7 always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Nothing will be establish regarding God's people until Christ comes back, and takes out of the field of God planting his wheat class, no prophecy will come as new among a mixture of truths and lies. There is no united group of God's anointed upon earth with pure truth speaking prophecy because God has not taken them out of his field of wheat destroying the weeds by his angels at the harvest time, that is, at Christ coming. Many during this dark period have roved about seeking truth, but its not God's appointed time until Christ returns separating truth from the lie as God's one appointed prophet speaking pure truth through his body members.
Rev.14:1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.
14:2 I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps. 14:3 They sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth.
14:4 These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
14:5 In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.{TR adds "before the throne of God"}
Many have sought truth to find only failure and corruption in man's efforts, many have taught they are chosen out of that field and put in charge of others feeding them prophecy. But the fact remains, which establish the truth. In all the thousand's upon thousand's of Christian religion none have found a lasting doctrine of truth without finding the corruption of man needing constant readjusting. The standard of truth is not God's standard at all. It is rather an accept standard by humans wisdom to boast in a mixture of scriptures with sin, which is a lie.
1 Corinthians 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?
A Yeast Kingdom Starts
What is a yeast Kingdom? Well, its not the truth, it is corrupted by sin of human. Has that kingdom been proven by the facts of two thousand's years of religion on earth since Christ did the prophet of God tell us the truth before it happen? Yes, it has! Moreover, the fact show since the yeast kingdom over took the kingdom of God in the field of wheat, no lasting truthful prophecy has come true. What we find instead is a constant justification by human wisdom to condone false prophecy as though it was no big deal. The same deal that cost false prophets their lives in the history of Israels. Hence, calling evil good, by mankind standard of truth, which is a mixture of yeast/sin with scriptures.
James 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water. 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom. 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth. 3:15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic. 3:16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
Christ does not involve himself in a lie, or the corruption of our fallen flesh to support a religion upon earth. Does the truth bear this out by Christ own words? Absolutely! Christ has brothers and sisters in a field overwhelmed by false religion that is the truth, they are as Daniel the prophet of God spoke getting a little help to maintain their faith in waiting upon the master return or in their own death on earth.
Daniel Daniel 11:34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help; but many shall join themselves to them with flatteries.
Daniel 12:1 "At that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be found written in the book. 12:2 Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 12:3 Those who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and those who turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever. 12:4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run back and forth, and knowledge shall be increased."
Daniel 12:8 I heard, but I didn't understand: then said I, my lord, what shall be the issue of these things? 12:9 He said, Go your way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. 12:10 Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but those who are wise shall understand.
Christ does not pick fruit from a yeast kingdom, and/or a counterfeit kingdom and boast in those works. Men do by flattery, men label them Christ works, but Christ has nothing to do with those works. Do weeds Christian's roman about seeking truth of the end of our world? Yes! They want that truth so badly they will destroy peoples lives to make it fit into their lives and others. Such information gives men power over others, such information is sought by the highest of position upon earth since Christ. Such information the wicked spirit son's of God want to know, and will uses powerful signs and portend to boldly profess through human that information.
But God has not entrusted the day or hour to anyone, so anything beyond yes, or no is a lie, and the ground of false religion stolen God's word by the field of weed Christian's who adorn themselves with flattery of men.
Proverbs 6:24 to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife's tongue.
1 Thessalonians 2:5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
Thousand's of earth shaking events have occurred since Christ as upon this earth, greater destruction in other generations, which devastated mass amounts of human life upon earth, just recently the tsunami killing thousand's of lives Christian's and otherwise, world war one and two to mention a few. Where was God's prophets than in protecting lives telling people to flee to the mountains? Yet, today we have prophet after prophet telling people to flee out of New York city, why are those lives anymore important than the lives in other destruction's?
Revelation 18:4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don't receive of her plagues.
Walking In Faith
Can any Christian's be saved without faith? No! But why is such a simple truth overlooked so conveniently by those promoting their prophecy as a warning coming from God as life and death? Because they wish to steal your faith in Christ for a faith in them, and their interpretation of the scriptures? In other words, they are special being anointed of God, and because of that God has chosen to uses them to give us the end of the worlds events, that is, before Christ does ahead of time so we can do what? Save ourselves, save others, for what purposes?
John 10:9 I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.
Acts 16:31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God's wrath through him.
Actually, can a honest person imagine that a group would demand putting faith in certain prophecy and if not they will removed the person as a wicked man from among themselves, if they did not believe they spoke for God? Again for what purpose does one demand such loyalty if it is not they think they are God's chosen channel for prophecy, and our disobeying their words are tantamount to denying God himself!
Romans 8:24 For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?
Romans 10:9 that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Those that wish to make a joke out of such evil, justifying it as a mere flash in the pants nothing important because the prophecy had to be changed and/or was proven false are loving the lie. Faith stolen from a little one, is an evil that will end in a sea with milestone hung upon their neck.
Faith is precious, it is found upon truth, faith is trust in the one giving the prophecy as coming from God, or Christ. It is something the person teaches as truth to others, and above all it represents the Father from which it comes from. We Christian's are to build up faith “in Christ” not prophecy, why Christ? Because all else is an idol of false worship. Truth is the Christ no where else is found God's truth for us. We as Christian's are not God's truth, we speak truth from our head Christ Jesus, but we do not say we are the truth.
Romans 10:13 For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."{Joel 2:32}
Ephesians 2:8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.
Hence, our faith is in truth, Christ Jesus, we build up our trust in Christ Jesus by his promise to us, do we live in fear that Christ is every changing like mankind prophecy about end of our world are? Do we put faith in words or in truth “Christ” his words too us? If Christ said we need to rest in faith in God day of Sabbath, Christ being that Sabbath than why are we seeking some other salvation in prophecy? Has Christ changed when he tell us none will perish that believe in him?
2 Thessalonians 2:10 and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn't receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2 Timothy 1:9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal.
Jude 1:5 Now I desire to remind you, though you already know this, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who didn't believe.
John 10:10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
John 10:28 I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
The deceptive power of prophecy is to convince us that the person speaking is talking for Christ making their words the truth, but do we look to man for our salvation or have we received salvation by believing Christ has forgiveness us our sins? In other words, has Christ now changed saying: “ Here is one more piece of information I ask you to stake your eternal life on, a new prophecy about the end of the world so you must go to that person or group to be feed by me spiritually.”
John 11:25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
John 12:25 He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.
Resting in faith is not working in faith to find a new salvation by prophecy. Resting means to stop doing our ways, our works, and believe in the works of Christ as our salvation. This is the faith we build up in each others, when we doubt, we encourage in the power of Christ, where we correct we do so to bring a person back into trusting Christ for every need spiritually in their life. Where we find ourselves in idolatry we encourage to trust in Christ.
John 20:31 but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.
1 Corinthians 16:22 If any man doesn't love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed{Greek: anathema.}. Come, Lord!{Aramaic: Maranatha!}
1 Corinthians 6:15 Don't you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!
1 Corinthians 3:11 For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:2 For I determined not to know anything among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
Truthful Prophecy
When prophecy is truth it is when we speak of Christ, and Christ speaks through us to build up those in the body of Christ. How can we do that when the very words we speak causes doubt in our listener that we ourselves are saved in Christ? Instead preaching our interpretation of prophecy as Christ?
Ephesians 1:13 in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation,--in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.
In other words, if they don't believe our prophecy they are not saved? If they disagree with us and our interpretation of the end they are an apostates from the salvation of Christ.
Matthew 18:32 Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
Matt.24:47 Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has. 24:48 But if that evil servant should say in his heart, 'My lord is delaying his coming,' 24:49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards.
Faith in Christ is we have received eternal life, or Christ and his apostles were lying. Not one said, believe this prophecy of end times and you are saved. Faith in Christ is personal, given us from God as a gift of Christ Jesus life, and nothing in heaven or earth can separated us from God's love, not even the accusation used to intimated people into enslavement of false teachings.
Rom.8:33 Who could bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who justifies. 8:34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 8:36 Even as it is written, "For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter."{Psalm 44:22} 8:37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Faith Saves Us
Faith is not from our own strength, something we muster up like courage to face an enemy. Fleshly faith mankind is that, they put faith in their governments, religion, and business to provide them with a living that faith comes flesh dead in Christ. which is an act of our flesh in convincing ourselves we can trust something to put faith in.
1 Corinthians 2:5 that your faith wouldn't stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
1 Corinthians 12:9 to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the same Spirit;
Faith for Christian's is found in God's Holy Spirit as a gift distributed to each one of us as God desires. Faith of by Holy Spirit can increase and decrease according the God working in us.
Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.
Romans 12:6 Having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, if prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
2 Peter 1:21 For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
Some find this terribly offensive because they insist it is their personal faith that saves them without God's help. But the truth is God created us even if we don't have the gift of faith given by Holy Spirit, we do have faith from our flesh under sin. So what is the faith that saves us, and Christ is looking for in?
1 Corinthians 4:7 For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn't receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
Is it faith in some prophecy because its seems correct, using much logic from the scriptures? no! It is faith in Christ Jesus, because we are members belong to him. He is our head, our body, so there can be no more than one faith. It is his faith coming too us as members belong to him that Christ gives us as gifts of the Spirit. But it is not in and of ourselves that we speak for God because we use the scriptures for even Satan did that and does that!
1 Timothy 4:1 But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
James 2:19 You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.
1 Corinthians 6:17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
1 Corinthians 8:6 yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we live through him.
Faith in Christ faithfulness to his Father as the head of us, the congregation, under his headship as our mouth speaking about what? The Good News of the finish works of God in saving us. About Christ works not our own works, but Christ working through us by his faith. The primary doctrine of all Christian's is they don't belong to themselves, but Christ being purchase for God will and glory. Understanding the headship arrange that Christ himself was under while upon earth and in heaven.
Colossians 2:19 and not holding firmly to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with God's growth.
1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.
What works did Christ speak of? Not his own, but every utterance coming from God's mouth, do you really believe that is true of any human on this earth, that they only speak what the Father tells when speaking prophecy?
John 14:10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his works.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
Christ is entrusted because he is faithful and true to his every action and word. He is truth, he is faithful, he is the temple of God where the Holy Spirit exist for us today. He than is the faithful slave and oneday all those faithful onto death will be a faithful slave exulted by God ruling with Christ.
Philp.2:1 If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion, 2:2 make my joy full, by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
2:3 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself; 2:4 each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others. 2:5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus, 2:6 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, 2:7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. 2:8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross. 2:9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;
2:10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
2:11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
We must face the facts to prove the truth the bible is not being yet written, it has not been added to by God since Christ took his seat as king and was made God's one prophet. Nothing on earth, under the heavens has God stamped as his prophet expect Christ.
Heb.1:1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
1:2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.
We are specifically speaking of prophecy of the last day. There is prophecy that most never speak about, and that is the good news, forgetting that most prophecy is about helping others too be saved in Christ. Many of Christ brothers have spoken prophecy regarding peoples salvation where Christ speaking through them for that purpose. Much of that is done by the person faith to let them know the message and timing is from God's hands, and not the person.
2 Timothy 1:13 Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.
2 Corinthians 4:13 But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, "I believed, and therefore I spoke."{Psalm 116:10} We also believe, and therefore also we speak;
We have all experience the profound affect that has on ones life when miraculously we are given a message we needed to hear from a brother of sister. What prophecy is not, is searching through the scriptures to find information to support our personal agenda. The bible is written in away that any subject you wish to support to justify a certain agenda one can find it. The truth is by faith, and our believing God's truth will be given us freely if we accept God's ways.
Isa.40:14 Who did he take counsel with, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding? 40:15 Behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket, and are regarded as a speck of dust on a balance. Behold, he lifts up the islands like a very little thing.
Truth is an honest effort to have God helps us to change and come to know him because he is love. It is our belief that God's wants to help us and has proven so by giving us his Son Christ Jesus. Truth is not supporting a sin we may have and want to justify that sin by scriptures or find a group of people with them same desires as us to support our habit.
1 John 3:4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
Truth is not seeing something no matter how convincing it is, and than deviling into the bible to support what we saw. The truth does not uphold man, the truth upholds God righteousness, and his Son Christ Jesus. The truth of God expose us as sinner, needing God's help to learn his ways, and Christ sacrifice to be forgiven, not our own views, or a group nor a particular belief we want to validate.
2 Peter 1:20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.
