Scripture Reading:  2 Timothy 3:1-9

In the last days, the Bible says that men will have a distorted view of love.  They will be lovers of themselves and lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.  Men will love the world.

“Do not love the world or the things of the world.  If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him, for all this is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, the pride of life—is not of the Father, but of the world.”  1 John 2:15-16

“If the world hates you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you” John 15:18.

Rio De Janeiro

In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2016 is where the Olympic Games are scheduled to be held.  The whole world will have their eyes on this site. We know that these universal games play a major part in the formation of the New World Order. Rio de Janeiro is where the huge statue of the false Jesus stands.  The famous Christ the Redeemer statue suffered damage on its right thumb when it was hit by a furious lightning bolt last January, one year ago.  Roman Catholics said that they will fix the thumb on this Jesuit statue. 

There was also another lightning bolt strike that hit St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican on the same night that Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation, stunning the world.  In fact, there wasn’t just one, but two strikes a few hours apart.  The lightning touched the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica, one of the holiest of all the Catholic churches.

Scripture Reading: Matthew 7:13-14:

The United Nations Peace Plaza in Independence, Missouri was unveiled on October 27, 1997, formally dedicated by United Nations General Secretary Kofi Annan on April 25, 2003, and is described by its creators as “the only memorial in the world to those persons serving in the Peacekeeping Forces of the United Nations....”  In the center of this fountain is a 12.5-foot statue named “Girl with Dove” by its sculptor Tom Corbin and in 2003, a four-foot miniature was gifted to the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.

Who is Tom Corbin?  I saw the picture of the statue that he made for the United Nations in my Miami University Alumni magazine.  Tom Corbin was a 1976 graduate of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.  At Miami, he studied drawing while majoring in marketing.  He started out as an advertising executive until a chance meeting with a bronze sculptor led to classes and thoughts of an art career, which he began in 1986.  He made the six statues of children for the Children Fountain in Kansas City.  And he made the sculptor the stands atop the United Nations Peace Plaza’s fountain in Independence, Missouri.

Scripture Reading: Genesis 5:1

Genesis

The Bible is the family history of the first man Adam.  It gives the generations of the race that Adam and Eve were parents of:  the White race.  The first ten chapters tell of where they lived, what they did, how long they lived, the first sin that happened in the race, the first deception that occurred in the race, the first big failure of the race and the judgment against it. 

The Bible tells us that the lives of our ancestors lived almost one thousand years (so much for evolution); but by the time of Noah practically the entire race had miscegenated.  Noah, his wife, their three sons and their wives were they only pure-blooded White people who survived the first major battle of the world.

The Bible does not teach that Noah needed 120 years to build the Ark; or that there was 2 animals of every kind in the entire world that was placed in the Ark; or that the flood was a world-wide flood; or that the rain that occurred during Noah’s flood was the first rain that had occurred in the earth.  The flood did drastically affect every part of the earth, but there was not waters over the mountains all over the earth.

The land split into; the seasons developed; earthquakes and volcanoes erupted; the two poles became ice filled; and it was a very scary time that happened.  And when Noah got off the Ark after 1 year and 17 days; the world that then was; was over.  The world that then was, ¼ of time on this earth from the first sin of Eve, was over.  The Bible covers this time period in 10 chapters.  The world that now is, began.

Scripture Reading:  Exodus 7:22

In the story of the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, we have the magicians of Egypt duplicating three of the miracles from God that Moses proclaimed that He would do against the Egyptians.   Many Christians are unaware that the magicians of Egypt could do some of the miracles that God could do:

• Rods turned into serpents (Exodus 7:11-13)
• Turning of the water to blood (Exodus 7:22)
• Bringing up of frogs (Exodus 8:7)

In fact, if the Christians reads closely he will see that it just wasn’t just the magicians, but the wise men, sorcerers and the magicians that were called by Pharaoh (Exodus 7:11).  What was the difference between them?

1. Wise men:  men of learning; men who knew the occult arts.
2. Sorcerers:  men who revealed hidden secrets; to uncover.
3. Magicians:  men who were decipherers or interpreters of the hieroglyphic writings found in books containing magic formulas that belonged to the Pharaoh.

Exodus 7:11:  “Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers:  now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.”

Let’s recreate the scene in our mind:  Aaron took his rod and cast it before Pharaoh and his servants and it became a serpent.  Then Pharaoh called his wise men, sorcerers and magicians and they also threw their rods on the ground and they became serpents.  So we have a tie:  we have all of these serpents slithering on the ground:  one serpent from Aaron’s rod and the other serpents from Pharaoh’s occult crowd.  But it didn’t remain a tie; for Aaron’s rod (serpent) swallowed up their rods (serpents)!  This proved that God’s power is greater than the power of the magicians.

But this also shows us that the occult does have some power.  They can perform some of these miracles in like manner with their enchantments.  The magicians, wise men and sorcerers in the future will bring down fire from heaven and do various kinds of miracles to deceive even the elect.  Does this also include the healing of the sick?

Part 1 The First Three Shepherds of Israel:  Israel had a government that no other nation on the face of the earth ever had.  It was known as a Theocracy.  It was in existence for about 1400 years but Israel wanted another kind of government.  They rejected God as their King so they could be like all the other nations.

Part 2 The Big Question: how many years was Israel under a theocracy?  When did they switch to a Monarchy?  The Bible tells a fantastic story of Israel's history. What is the major question that the average Christian doesn't even know?  Find out when you read this sermon.

Part 3 The Books of the Bible:  Ken Hamm equates "inter-racial" marriage with the marriage of a Christian with a non-Christian.  What is wrong with this?  And who were the people who plotted and attempted to kill Jesus Christ, according to the Bible?

Scripture Reading:  Revelation 18:4

The Church and its Music

The church began with their singing of the Psalms that are found in the middle of their Bible.  The Psalms were put to music and the congregation sang the praises to our God.  Over the last several hundreds of years new hymns were written; some good, some bad.  But in the last fifty years, something new has slipped into the churches:  the singing of rock ‘n’ roll.  The church is drawing closer and closer to the world and not to God.  The church is serving other gods and not the God of the Bible.  The church has learned the way of the heathen.

Scripture Reading Galatians 1:6-9

Mormonism strives with great effort to masquerade as the restored Christian church complete with an exclusive message, infallible prophets, higher revelations for a new dispensation which the Mormons would have us believe began with Joseph Smith, Jr. in the 1820’s.   Joseph Smith wrote in the Pearl of Great Price, Chapter 2, verses 1-25; that when he asked the Personages who stood above him in the light, which of all the sects (Christian churches) was right and which one should he join, he received the following answer:

• All Christian churches were apostate; they were all wrong; No Christian church.
• All Christian creeds were an abomination to God; No Christian theology.
• All professors of Christianity were corrupt; No Christians.

In other words, a restoration of true Christianity was needed, and that he, Joseph Smith, Jr., had been chosen to launch the new dispensation.  It all began in 1823 when the angel Moroni came to Joseph’s bedside and told him where the golden plates were hid in the hill Cumorah near Palmyra, New York.  Smith began to “translate” the “reformed Egyptian” hieroglyphics inscribed thereupon by means of the “Urim and Thummin,” a type of miraculous spectacles which the always-thoughtful angel Moroni had the foresight to provide for the new budding seer of the new Christian church. 

The “miraculous translation” taken from the hidden “golden plates” that the angel had told him where to find them; that translated word for word, even the mistakes, from the King’s James Version of the Bible which was written almost 2000  years after the golden plates were buried in the ground; became known as the Book of Mormon. 

Mormon theology is a polytheistic teaching that the universe is inhabited by different gods who procreate spirit children which are in turn are clothed with bodies on different planets; Adam-god being the god of this planet.  Adam-god had sexual relations with Mary to produce Jesus, the Son of god.  Lucifer was a spirit brother of Jesus prior to His birth.  The Garden of Eden was located in Missouri and not in Asia!  Mormonism is a universal religion; for they believe in universal salvation that all men will be saved, but each one in their own order.  Jesus will return to Missouri when he returns. 

Can you tell from the above that Mormonism is definitely not Christian?  It didn’t restore Christianity; it eliminates it.

Scripture Reading: Jeremiah 25:1-7

This portion of Scripture gives the reference of when it was spoken:  the fourth year of Jehoiakim, king of Judah.  For twenty-three years, God had sent Jeremiah and His prophets to them telling the Judahites to repent.  Notice they all got up early.  Did any of the Judahites listen?

You can tell from the chart that the Kingdom of Judah went into the Babylonian Captivity eighteen years after this portion of Scripture was given.  The House of Israel was already taken into the Assyrian Captivity as well as most of the House of Judah.  It was given in the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim and in eighteen more years Judah no longer existed as a nation.
