Following Jesus Example

Matthew 28:18-20
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Many people believe Jesus is real – even the fallen angels and the Devil. The difference between fallen angels and faithful Christians is that the faithful Christian will be ready for Jesus soon return. The Devil hates Christ.

In the above scripture we as faithful Christians are told to go and teach and then baptizing the newly saved. This is what is known as the Divine Commission.

Jesus was baptized even though he never sinned. HE set an example for us to follow. In verse 20, Jesus said: “Teaching to observe ( keep ) all things I have commanded. Baptism is like a marriage to Jesus Christ.

Acts 8:26-31
Christ Is Preached to an Ethiopian  
26 Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is desert. 27 So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, 28 was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this chariot.”
30 So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him.

Acts 8:35-39
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him. 36 Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?”
37 Then Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.”
And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”
38 So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him. 39 Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing.

Philip is telling the eunuch about Christ and all of Jesus earthly ministry. When Philip came up out of the water, he was caught away by the Spirit of the Lord. The eunuch went away happy.

Matthew 3:13-17
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”
15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.
16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. 17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

The first reason Jesus was baptized is to set an example for us. The second reason is to cover people that cannot ever be baptized: ( medical reasons, thief on the cross, children not yet mature enough to understand salvation for our sins through faith in Christ ). The third reason is submerge – the greek word baptiso means ‘watery grave’ – it is a symbol of our death to the old life. We come up out of the water as a new person in Christ. Infant baptism and sprinkling are not Biblical.

In verse 17, we receive a special annointing of the Holy Spirit. You now belong to Christ and are His witness in the world.

Matthew 4:1-4
Satan Tempts Jesus
1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. 3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.
4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’

Luke 4:1
Satan Tempts Jesus
 1 Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness.

Being a Christian means being the happiest people on earth. There is no shame to be filled with the Holy Ghost.

Luke 4:13-15
13 Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time.

Jesus Begins His Galilean Ministry
14 Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region. 15 And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

Jesus was able to go out and teach.

Luke 4:17-19
17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:
       18 “ The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
       Because He has anointed Me
      To preach the gospel to the poor;
      He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
      To proclaim liberty to the captives
      And recovery of sight to the blind,
      To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
       19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”
      
Who is the stealer of our joy? Satan because fear does not come from God, it comes from Satan. Step out and trust God in faith. He will take care of you. God will meet your needs.

Galatians 3:26-29
Sons and Heirs
26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

You trusted and surrendered to God and are a part of Christ earthly ministry.

There are buffet style Christians in the world today that are picking and chosing what they want. Being a follower of Christ means following His Word and Example. Heirs of the promise in verse 29 means having eternal life. That is the most important thing a Christian has to hold on to while on earth.

Mark 16:15-16
15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

Real belief means following Jesus. Christ says in His word that He has no pleasure in the death of the wicked. Just think of the grace, mercy and peace Christ offers to mankind.

Romans 6:3-4
3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

The newness of Christ means experiencing a total conversion. The death of Christ covers your life.

Acts 22:14-16
14 Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has chosen you that you should know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice of His mouth. 15 For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard. 16 And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’

Jesus is asking you a question: “What are you waiting for? Arise and be baptized.”

Acts 19:1-6
Paul at Ephesus
1 And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples 2 he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”
So they said to him, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”
3 And he said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?”
So they said, “Into John’s baptism.”
4 Then Paul said, “John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.”
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

Acts 2:41
Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.

This passage shows the beginning of the early Christian church. Have you gladly received His Word? Jesus never forces anyone to do anything. He loves you so much. How can you turn this offer down?

Acts 2:47
Praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

This was our Wednesday night Bible study on 2. March 2011 led by Pastor Korter.

“You are My Sunshine, My only Sunshine’

Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her 3 year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new sibling.

They found out that they new baby was going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sang to his sister in mommy’s tummy.

He was building a bond of love with his little sister before he even met her. The pregnancy progressed normally for Karen, an active member of the Panther Creek United Methodist Church in Morristown, Tennessee. In time, the labor pains came. Soon it was every five minutes, every three, every minute. But serious complications arose during delivery and Karen found herself in hours of labor. Would a C-section be required?

Finally, after a long struggle, Michael’s little sister was born. But she was in very serious condition. With a siren howling in the night, the ambulance rushed the infant to the neonatal intensive care unit at St. Mary’s Hospital in Knoxville, Tennessee. The days inched by. The little girl got worse. The pediatrician had to tell the parents there is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst.

Karen and her husband contacted a local cemetery about a burial plot. They had fixed up a special room in their house for their new baby but now they found themselves having to plan for a funeral. Michael, however, kept begging his parents to let him see his sister. “I want to sing to her,” he kept saying.

Week two in intensive care looked as if a funeral would come before the week was over. Michael kept nagging about singing to his sister, but kids are never allowed in Intensive Care. Karen decided to take Michael whether they liked it or not. If he didn’t see his sister right them, he may never see her alive.

She dressed him in an oversized scrub suit and marched him into ICU. He looked like a walking laundry basket. The head nurse recognized him as a child and bellowed, ‘Get that kid out of here now. No children are allowed.’ The mother rose up strong in Karen, and the usually mild-mannered lady glared steel-eyed right into the head nurse’s face , her lips a firm line, ‘He is not leaving until he sings to his sister’ she stated. Then Karen towed Michael to his sister’s bedside.

He gazed at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. After a moment, he began to sing. In the pure-hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sang: ‘You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray.’ Instantly the baby girl seemed to respond. The pulse rate began to calm down and became steady. ‘Keep on singing, Michael,” encouraged Karen with tears in her eyes.

‘You never know, dear, how much I love you, please don’t take my sunshine away.’ As Michael sang to his sister, the baby’s ragged, strained breathing became as smooth as a kitten’s purr. ‘Keep on singing, sweetheart.’ ‘The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms…’ Michael’s little sister began to relax as rest, healing rest, seemed to sweep over her. ‘Keep on singing, Michael.’ Tears had now conquered the face of the bossy head nurse. Karen glowed.

‘You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. Please don’t take my sunshine away.’ The next day….the very next day, the little girl was well enough to go home. Woman’s Day Magazine called it The Miracle of a Brother’s Song. The medical staff just called it a miracle. Karen called it a miracle of God’s love.

This story was told on 3ABN broadcasting network last fall. I just read the story in a magazine that I get. When I first heard the story, I cried tears of joy in hearing how God healed a very sick little girl. I have not always been able to share emotions easily and this story opened me up to experience my feelings.

Here is a great video that Pastor Jesse Sacdalan shared at the Lummi Seventh-Day Adventist Church this past Sabbath. Take six minutes to see how much love God has for the children of the earth.

Here are a couple of excellent prayers to read before starting the day.

Psalms 143:7-11
⁷ Answer me speedily, O LORD;
         My spirit fails! 
         Do not hide Your face from me, 
         Lest I be like those who go down into the pit.
 ⁸ Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,
         For in You do I trust; 
         Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, 
         For I lift up my soul to You. 
         
 ⁹ Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies;
         In You I take shelter.
 ¹⁰ Teach me to do Your will,
         For You are my God; 
         Your Spirit is good. 
         Lead me in the land of uprightness. 
         
 ¹¹ Revive me, O LORD, for Your name’s sake!
         For Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.

The following passage is from Desire of Ages page 83 written by Ellen White:

If Joseph and Mary had stayed their minds upon God by meditation and prayer, they would have realized the sacredness of their trust, and would not have lost sight of Jesus. By one day’s neglect they lost the Saviour; but it cost them three days of anxious search to find Him. So with us; by idle talk, evilspeaking, or neglect of prayer, we may in one day lose the Saviour’s presence, and it may take many days of sorrowful search to find Him, and regain the peace that we have lost.

In our association with one another, we should take heed lest we forget Jesus, and pass along unmindful that He is not with us. When we become absorbed in worldly things so that we have no thought for Him in whom our hope of eternal life is centered, we separate ourselves from Jesus and from the heavenly angels. These holy beings cannot remain where the Saviour’s presence is not desired, and His absence is not marked. This is why discouragement so often exists among the professed followers of Christ.

Many attend religious services, and are refreshed and comforted by the word of God; but through neglect of meditation, watchfulness, and prayer, they lose the blessing, and find themselves more destitute than before they received it. Often they feel that God has dealt hardly with them. They do not see that the fault is their own. By separating themselves from Jesus, they have shut away the light of His presence.

It would be well for us to spend a thoughtful hour each day in contemplation of the life of Christ. We should take it point by point, and let the imagination grasp each scene, especially the closing ones. As we thus dwell upon His great sacrifice for us, our confidence in Him will be more constant, our love will be quickened, and we shall be more deeply imbued with His spirit. If we would be saved at last, we must learn the lesson of penitence and humiliation at the foot of the cross.

As we associate together, we may be a blessing to one another. If we are Christ’s, our sweetest thoughts will be of Him. We shall love to talk of Him; and as we speak to one another of His love, our hearts will be softened by divine influences. Beholding the beauty of His character, we shall be “changed into the same image from glory to glory.” 2 Cor. 3:18.

Where Are the Called is a new sermon series that Pastor Brandon Korter will be preaching over the next few Sabbaths.

A Long, Long Time Ago

When the first Star Wars Movie came out in 1977, the first statement made was: “A Long, Long Time Ago”. When Roots ( television series ) came out people spent much time researching their genealogy. We as Christians should also look at our roots.

Ezekiel 28:14-18
The Story of Lucifer

14 “ You were the anointed cherub who covers;
      I established you;
      You were on the holy mountain of God;
      You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
       15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
      Till iniquity was found in you.
       16 “ By the abundance of your trading
      You became filled with violence within,
      And you sinned;
      Therefore I cast you as a profane thing
      Out of the mountain of God;
      And I destroyed you, O covering cherub,
      From the midst of the fiery stones.
       17 “ Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;
      You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;
      I cast you to the ground,
      I laid you before kings,
      That they might gaze at you.
       18 “ You defiled your sanctuaries
      By the multitude of your iniquities,
      By the iniquity of your trading;
      Therefore I brought fire from your midst;
      It devoured you,
      And I turned you to ashes upon the earth
      In the sight of all who saw you.
     
This is the story of light versus darkness, good versus evil, followers of Christ versus followers of the Devil. Christ has always had faithful followers. God has always had a people on this earth.

Imagine a time when this earth had no sin and no evil. God was sitting on His Throne looking over His creation. He gave created beings a choice:

Ability to Love and Obey the Creator
Chose to Go Against God

By giving us human beings a choice, God took a risk. It is a high form of True Love – Giving the Right to say yes or no to God. That is True Love.

God’s highest angel was Lucifer ( means the shining one ). In Ezekiel 28:12,14 the Bible shows that Lucifer was most perfect and closest to God. Lucifer felt he should be elevated. There are only two other beings that stood with God in Heaven: Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Lucifer’s promotion never came.

In Ezekiel 28:17, Lucifer becomes filled with pride and jealousy. Lucifer wasn’t thinking straight. Lucifer had a false picture of himself: ( best, biggest, pride, exaggerated sense of one’s own importance ). This set Lucifer up for sin.

The middle initial of sin is ‘I’. Lucifer concluded that either the problem was with God or himself. Because Lucifer was not thinking right, he said that God is not truthful. Lucifer worked to convince one third of the angels of heaven that God was not right.

Revelation 12:17
And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The war in heaven was like Star Wars. The battle between Christ and Satan ( Lucifer ) had begun. Do you want Christ to come again?

A tragic day came that changed the history of earth forever. Eve did not want to wander away. The world was without sin. The Bible tells us that the Devil went to all the other worlds to tempt them and they did not fall into sin. The Devil came back to the earth and tempted Eve with the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden.

Eve fell to temptation. Then Adam ate of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. Most of us today have a way to go ourselves to fill at ease with God. How does this apply to us?

God wants us to see this today. God wants us to see how sin causes us to break away from Him. Do you have anger, fear or are uneasy about God?

The separation of sin is keeping us from seeing Jesus as He really is. The greatest separator is sin. When Jesus hung on the cross He said: “My God, why have you forsaken me?” Jesus carried the load of all the earth’s sin-an immense burden-and was in agony.

The whole purpose of sin is to keep us away from God. We begin to blame God for the pain our own sin brings to us. We treat Him like a frowning father – an outright enemy. When we get in trouble, have a tragedy, or suffer grief, Satan presses us to put the blame on God. If you are such a God of Love, why am I going through this?

Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity
      Between you and the woman,
      And between your seed and her Seed;
      He shall bruise your head,
      And you shall bruise His heel.
     
This is the first Bible promise that Jesus would save us. The word seed refers to Satan’s seed and Eve’s seed. Eve’s seed comes from Jesus. Jesus head was bruised. The Devil tried to destroy Jesus but he could not. Jesus went to the cross and took the full penalty of our sin. We cannot comprehend how much love that took and will learn more about God’s love when Jesus comes to take us to heaven.

The same pleads and cries that God made to Lucifer to repent and turn around is no different than what Jesus is doing today. God went after Lucifer. God pleaded that Lucifer would come back and be restored but Lucifer said: No, I don’t want to have anything to do with you. The war in heaven in Revelation 12:17 went on for a very long time.

Jesus is now pleading with you today just like He did with Lucifer. God says: “I created you, love you and want you next to me. I will elevate you to be higher than the angels when Jesus comes.

It is easier to be saved than to be lost. Some people think salvation is so difficult. God never intended for one human to be exposed to hell fire at the coming Judgement Day. Some people keep responding: No, No, leave me alone to Jesus. How could we ever say no to a God that loves us so much? A God so loving that He pleaded with Lucifer for a very long time and sent Jesus into the world to save all of us.

Jesus knows your heart. The wonderful news is that one day soon, this war will be over. God has had, has now and will always have a loyal people that follow Him. Faithful followers. Jesus is asking you today: “Do you want to be a faithful follower?” Will you make a full and complete surrender to Jesus today? Will you accept Him? Just ask as He is waiting for you!

Here are some practical ways to help detox the liver. These steps are part of Dr. Chappell’s natural approach to liver detox. Dr. Chappell has been studying and practicing Naturopathic Health for over 40 years.

1. Perform an Enema. You can use a fresh squeezed lemon or just follow Dr. Chappell’s instructions about a Coffee Enema on the call below:

Enema

2. Perform a Dry Skin Brushing after your enema. Take a brush that is safe to brush your skin. Use a circular motion from the right rib cage area towards the heart. Do the brushing for about 3 minutes. You are removing dead skin cells, opening up the pores of your skin, and moving blood in your lymphatic blood vascular system.

3. Take a shower and wash your body and hair if needed. When finished with your shower, alternate the water from as warm as possible to as cold as possible. This hot and then cold treatment will help with the elimination of toxins from your body. You only need to spend 30 seconds or so on the cold part of the hot – cold cycle.

4. Create a castor oil poultice. Take a flannel cloth and dab some castor oil on it to be able to cover your liver. Lie down in bed with this cloth attached to your body around the right rib cage where your liver is. Place either a heating pad on low or a hot water bottle over the poultice. Lay on that side as long as possible.

A friend from church called me and shared that she is feeling much healthier since using Caldera Greens. Luz Silva has a spa and beauty shop.

United States in Bible Prophecy

Most people are not aware that the USA is in Bible Prophecy.

Revelation 13:11
The Beast from the Earth
Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.

Pay special attention when the Bible says the word ‘earth’. There are two beasts mentioned in Revelation 13. In verses 1-10 the beast is Papal Rome where the Bible mentions comes up out of the sea.

There are four names for the devil used in the Bible:

Devil
Dragon
Lucifer
Serpent

In verse 11 the beast is the USA.

Revelation 12:1
The Woman, the Child, and the Dragon
Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
In Bible prophecy the woman represents ( symbolizes ) the Church. The woman is clothed in the ‘Word of God’ ( sun ). The moon gets its light from the sun. The moon represents the gift of prophecy which is the testimony of Jesus. The crown of victory represented by the garland of twelve stars. The church is the body of Christ. If you are saved and in the church, you have the Victor’s Crown. Praise the Lord!

Jeremiah 6:2
I have likened the daughter of Zion to a lovely and delicate woman.

Isaiah 51:16
And I have put My words in your mouth;
      I have covered you with the shadow of My hand,
      That I may plant the heavens,
      Lay the foundations of the earth,
      And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’

Can you see how important God’s church is? Be very careful about being a hypocrite, about back biting, back stabbing or any other un Christian behavior. The Church is full of people who have problems. These people realize that Jesus is the answer. Young people get frustrated when they see bad behavior from adults and leave the church.

2 Corinthians 11:2
For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

Christ is the Head of the Church.

Revelation 12:1-6
The Woman, the Child, and the Dragon
 1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

A third of the angels were deceived by Lucifer and were flung to the earth as demons. The woman flees from the dragon.

Revelation 12:13-16
The Woman Persecuted
13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.

During the 1,260 years, Papal Rome persecuted the Waldenses, the Ostrogoths and other tribes in Europe. God repeated verse 6 in verse 14 which means pay close attention to that verse. The Dark Ages of World History are revealed in verse 15. If you had a Bible during this time, you were killed. The Waldenses passed little pages of scripture amongst themselves during this time.

The serpent spewed water means Papal Rome sent out armies to destroy the tribes that were not following the Papacy. The earth helped the woman ( earth opened up its mouth and swallowed the river ).

In the early 1600’s, the Pilgrims came to Earth fleeing persecution. The Pilgrims were 102 people seeking religious freedom and endured 67 days at sea to flee persecution. This is the only time in the History of the World that this has happened. When the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts, they were so far away from the dragon that they were finally safe. The USA is a safe place for the Church to dwell.

Revelation 13:11-18
The Beast from the Earth
11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

The fatal wound was healed in 1929 when Mussolini declared the Vatican its own sovereign power. The Papacy is now more powerful than it has ever been. In verse 14, the image to the beast ‘a likeness’ means the devil wants worship. In verse 15, worship is clearly the issue. God wants worship per the Ten Commandments ( Love the Lord Thy God ). Sunday worship is the image. The Papal authorities met with the two American ambassadors to the Vatican and asked for the USA to establish a Sunday Law in 2005.

Matthew 10:21-22
21 “Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

Don’t be scared about this prophecy because Jesus will protect you.

Our bodies are electric. The food we eat either adds to our life force or is void of energy. It all depends on what you put in your body. Eating foods as grown is the best way to ensure that you are putting energy into your blood stream so your cells will thrive and rejuvenate.

When you eat dead food the hertz (hz) cyclical rhythm is very low ( between 5-20 hz ). Dead food is processed and packaged foods. Your body needs at least 60 hz to function properly. We can get plenty of protein from seeds, plants, and sources other than dead animals. You will greatly lower the amount of fat in your diet which will help your body start healing itself. You will also lose some weight if you are eating a diet of plants, seeds, and legumes.

Here is a link to an interesting article about health that talks about rhythm:
Journal of Medicine

The weight loss smoothie that has Caldera Greens in it has over 100 hz. That is why many people that use the Caldera Greens get benefits. Most people say they feel more stamina and are more alert. I am noticing more energy and stamina for walking in the park.

Luz Silva cuts my hair and she told me she suffers from pain in her hands. The first thing she recognized when using Caldera Greens was that the pain had subsided.

Daniel Parsons

The Mark of the Beast
In Daniel chapter 7, God shows us the big picture in verses 1-7. Then in verse 8 God laser focuses on the horn that has destroyed 3 of the 10 Kingdoms: Vandals, Ostrogoths, and Hurlei.

Daniel 7:1-8
Vision of the Four Beasts

1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, telling the main facts.
2 Daniel spoke, saying, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. 3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. 4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.
5 “And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’
6 “After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
7 “After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8 I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words.

In Daniel 7 verses 20-21 and 24-25, God repeats what was stated in earlier verses which stresses the importance of understanding. It is easy to identify the Little Horn.

20 The ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, before which three fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke pompous words, whose appearance was greater than his fellows.
21 “I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them.

24 The ten horns are ten kings
      Who shall arise from this kingdom.
      And another shall rise after them;
      He shall be different from the first ones,
      And shall subdue three kings.
   25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
      Shall persecute the saints of the Most High,
      And shall intend to change times and law.
      Then the saints shall be given into his hand
      For a time and times and half a time.

1. Comes up Among 10 Kingdoms
2. Arises after 476 AD
3. Speaks great words – Blasphemes – Has ability to forgive sins
4. Subdues 3 Kingdoms/Horns
5. Different
6. Eyes like a man (Human) singular leadership
7. Persecutes
8. Rules for a Time, Times, and 1/2 Time ( 1260 Years )
9. Change Time and the Law

History of the world is revealed in the Bible in Daniel’s dream. The Little Horn power is Papal Rome. There are only 2 totally worldwide churches today. One is Catholic. In Revelation Chapters 12 and 17, the woman mentioned represents the church.

There was much persecution during the Dark Ages. You either became Catholic or you were executed. In 508 AD, the Vandals were stamped out by Papal Rome. In 538 AD, the Ostrogoths were destroyed. This persecution went on for over a thousand years. When the Pilgrims came in the early 1600’s, they were trying to get away from persecution from Papal Rome. In 1798, the beast received a wound when the Pope was put in prison by Napoleon’s General Berthier.

Jesus was accused of blasphemy by the Scribes and the Pharisees. The Pope claims the ability to forgive sins which is blasphemy.

Revelation 13:1-3
The Beast from the Sea

1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.
 
There are seven hills at the Vatican. In Revelation 13:4-10, the Bible is once again repeating what was already said in Daniel 7.

Revelation 13:4-10
4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Remember the Bible is exposing the beast ( Papal System ) not the Catholic people. There are fine Catholic Christians all over the world and there will be many Catholics in God’s Kingdom.

The Pope is the King of the Vatican. The Vatican has ambassadors from over 105 nations of the world. The United States has 2 ambassadors to the Vatican. All Bishops, Cardinals, Priests, and Nuns must swear allegiance to the Pope.

Revelation 13:17-18
17 That no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

What is 666? It is the Identity of the Beast – A Man’s Number. Now we can compare Daniel 7 and Revelation 13.

1. Out of the Sea ( Multitude of Nations Revelation 17:15 )
2. Deadly Wound Healed ( 1929 Mussolini recognized Vatican as its own power )
3. Speaks Great Words – Blasphemy
4. Rules for 42 months ( There are 30 days per month in Jewish calendar – 42 x 30 = 1260 )
5. Makes War with the Saints
6. World Worship
7. Leads Into Captivity ( Dark Ages )

Knowledge of the Scriptures were lost during the 1260 years. God raised up Martin Luther who was a Catholic Bishop. Luther unlocked the Bible, studied it and read it. Luther proclaimed: ” The Just will live by Faith”.

Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 reveal the same thing and reveal the Identity of the Beast. Pagan Rome turned into Papal Rome.

Genesis 4:15
And the LORD said to him, “Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold.” And the LORD set a mark on Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him.

God put a mark on Cain. It is not a visible mark. The whole issue about the mark of the beast revolves around worship. Jesus cannot come until the man of lawlessness has been revealed.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-6
The Great Apostasy

1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.
 
John 17:17
Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

There are over 285 denominations saying they have the truth. You find the truth in the Bible. Study Your Bible!

Ezekiel 20:11-12
11 And I gave them My statutes and showed them My judgments, ‘which, if a man does, he shall live by them.’ 12 Moreover I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between them and Me, that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

God’s sign is the Sabbath. Once again, it is all about worship.
Verses 19-20
19 I am the LORD your God: Walk in My statutes, keep My judgments, and do them; 20 hallow My Sabbaths, and they will be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.’

If God has a sign, does it make sense that Satan also has a sign? A counterfeit?

Exodus 31:12-18
The Sabbath Law

12 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 13 “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you. 14 You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 15 Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’” 18 And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.

Romans 4:11
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also.
 
A sign is the same as a seal. The counterfeit has to look like the original. In the Catholic Catechism there are two questions to explore.

Question: What day is the Sabbath Day? Answer: Saturday is the Sabbath Day.
Question: Why do we observer Sunday as the day of worship? Answer: The Catholic Church had the solemnity to transfer the worship day from Saturday to Sunday.

Sunday worship is the Mark of the Beast. The letters on the Mitre of the Pope are:

Vicarius Filii Dei which means the Vicar of the Son of God. If you take the Roman Numeral for each of the letters of the Latin for Vicarius Filii Dei, the total adds up to 666.

V – 5
I – 1
C – 100
A – 0
R – 0
I-  1
U – 5 (same as V)
S – 0

F – 0
I – 1
L – 50
I – 1
I – 1

D – 500
E – 0
I – 1

666

Revelation 14:6-7
The Proclamations of Three Angels
  
6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— 7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

This was our Wednesday night Bible study at church this week.
