The   Power  of  Good  and  the   Power  of  Evil    

Dear Friend,

I have shown to you in my previous articles that   you can’t worship two masters,  and that the End of the World will be as it was in Noah’s day.   I have pointed out to you that you will be   “judged”   by Apostle  Paul’s gospel  Rom.2:16.   If you are a true Christian, you will be  divided  between different groups of Christians by how you kept God’s   “laws  of  faith”   or the   “laws  of  the  spirit.”   For you to be   protected  and  saved   from the   “plagues”   of the   “tribulation” Rev.18:4, and from the  “plagues”  of the   “Day of the Lord”  Joe.2:11,12, the   “Seventh  Seal”  of God Rev.8:1-2, which will “destroy”  the world as it was in  Noah’s day  Mat.24:37, you must know how God’s and Satan’s power differentiate. 

On my web site I have given you a  chronology  of the  End  Time  that you may know  when  you need to   “come  out”   of your church or your own belief system.  You know that we may be  “fleeing”  in two or three years to God’s  Place of Safety  Rev.12:6.  Christ our Creator Eph.3:9 is giving us “revelations”  Mat.10:28; Acts.3:19 that we may know when the  “thief,”  Satan Mat.24:43 was   “cast out”   from the lower heaven to the earth Rev.12:9.   I predicted that Satan will  release  the spirit Beast in 2006, to   “torment”   us Rev.9:5, and later to kill us, starting the last  seven  years  of the “tribulation.” 

God use law, money and religion and government as we have seen, yet we can be certain that   LAW,  MONEY  and  RELIGION  are  NOT  God’s  power, because the  “letter”  of the physical law   “kills, but the spirit gives life”   2Cor.3:6.   We can be sure that money is not God’ power, for  “money  is  the  root  of    ALL  evil”   ITim.6:10.  Religion and government is not God’s power, because they are all based on God’s laws.  Laws or  lawlessness,  money,  religion  and  government   is   “the way”   and are the power of the Anti-god.  This is how we know that   “the  world,”   and all its religions and governments are under the   “god  of  this  world,”  Satan  2Cor.4:4 because   “his  ways”   or system of the world runs on these principles.   As a Christian you have to learn to live  “God’s  Way”  Jer.21:8, as God use   money,  law  and  religion  and government, which you  can’t  do now, so you must use Satan’s in   “a way”  it is  “acceptable”  to our Creator, Jesus our Christ Eph.3:9.  

Soon, if you don’t    “obey”  Ex.20:3 your Creator and you don’t   “flee”   to God’s Place of Safety Rev.12:6, and if you don’t accept  “the  way”   of Satan, his lawlessness, credit, religion and  government, the  “image of the Beast”  you will be killed Rev.13:15. 

So what is God’s Power? 

God accomplish His purpose “Not by might, nor by power, but by  My  spirit,  say the Lord of hosts” Zech.4:6b.   Now this is not the  Holy  Spirit  we received in the churches, but the  “holy  spirit”   we receive from one of God’s   Two  Witnesses  Rev.11:3 and their followers. (Please see my previous articles on salvation and the holy spirit.)  God’s next power manifest in our lives  is the  “knowledge  of  salvation”   Lk.1:77, for God   “upholds all things by  the   WORD   of His power”   Heb.1:3.  God’s power to work for us, we must have the  “JOY  of  the  Lord”  Neh.8:10.  Paul writing by revelation said:   “Jesus the author and finisher of  our faith;  who for the JOY that  was  set  before  Him ‘endured’  the  cross,  despising t he  shame,   and is set down at the  right hand  of the throne of God” Heb.12:2.   Apostle Paul was very familiar with the need for   JOY.  Paul and Silas in Philippi cast out a   “spirit of divination”   from a woman.   For doing good,  Paul and Silas were beaten with rods almost to death, and thrown in prison.  They sang   songs  of  joy,   for which God sent His angel and removed them from prison Acts.16:12-40.  God’s  JOY comes by having God’s   “holy  spirit”   and the full   “knowledge  of  God’s  salvation.”   

These three aspects of God’s power are opposite of Satan’s power which are “the  LUST  of the   EYE,  the  lust  of the  FLESH,  and the  PRIDE  of life”   IJn.2:16, to misuse law, money, religion and government, to enslave humanity.

Pentecost  and its Lack of Power

I have shown that it is not enough to have the  holy  spirit  of God, we also need the full   “knowledge  of salvation”   Lk.1:77, to know the truth.  Without the knowledge of   “God’s  way”   Prov.14:12 we automatically will follow   “the  way  of  death,”  in spite that we have the holy spirit of God.  The tragedy of  Pentecost  was, that also the  holy spirit  came, the  full  “knowledge  of  salvation”   was given later to Apostle Paul in the  “mystery”  revelations Eph.3:3.  This meant that while the Apostles had power in the church, the church was able to function.  When the  persecutions  came, church members started to despise the Apostles’ instructions and fell away, to save their lives.  They  “converted”  to a new easy, not so persecuted religion, which was the opposite of God’s.  This was Simon  the   “sorcerer’s”  religion Acts.8:9,18-24, later called in many names like  Gnostics. 

The Christian religion Rome accepted, and made popular throughout their empire, was the Gnostic religion.   When the empire collapsed the   Vatican   took over, and became the image of the Beast, of the Roman Empire.  This is how   Simon Peter’s   church;  Gnosticism  became the  Catholic Church,  having no connection to   Apostle  Peter   or to true Christianity. 

Christians  fell  away,  when  Christ changed  His spirit with  the  angelic  spirits of  His  seven churches.   True Christianity was maintained, as God’s religion was before the flood.  Only   one man  in one family   walked with God  in each generation.  This   “falling  away”   took place in the first century, before and after 70 AD.  This is the cause of the dismal record of Christianity for two thousand years.   Christianity was   “deceived”   while the Apostles were living.   All the Apostles refer to this falling away in the Bible.  The official Christian churches were and are still   “deceived.”   This is why Jesus said that we are   like the people in Noah’s day   at the  End of the World  Mat.24:37.   

This is why we are told that we need to   “come  out”   of our churches and religions and our governmental system Rev.18:4,  to become   true Christians.  Christianity is fully   “deceived” Rev.12:9  as Jesus prophesied.  We can only become true Christians if we find and follow God’s Two  Witnesses   Rev.11:3, whose function is to   “restore”   the truth to us Mat.17:11 as John the Baptist  and  Elijah  did, and to  release  Christ’s spirit.  

This is why it was prophesied that the truth which was  “hidden”  and  “covered”  will be  “revealed” and   “made  known”   at the  End  of  the  World  Mat.10:28.  We are told that a   “time  of  refreshing” Acts.3:19 will  come from Jesus our Creator Eph.3:9, of His   “knowledge  of  salvation”   of the truth Lk.1:77.  There also will be a   “pouring  out  of  God’s  holy  spirit”   “on”   people at the end of this world Acts.2:17.   We read that this will not be  “on”   ALL   the people, but only on a   “few”   Mat.7:14, who are  “chosen”  Jn.6:44 by our Father in heaven to be His   “witnesses”   Acts.10:41.  This is the truth, but can you believe it?   Without God’s holy spirit God’s truth is just   “foolishness”   to us ICor.2:14,  unbelievable,  and  makes no sense to us. 

This is a shocking revelation, and very difficult to believe, but this is the short  summary  of the Christian Church’s history.   We are at the   “End  of  the  World,”   and we are    ALL   “deceived.”   We  can’t  find  the  truth  of  our  own  because  we  only  know  the deception,  and  are  without  God’s  “holy  spirit.”  This is why we need God’s   Two Witnesses,   to   “restore”   the truth to us Mat.17:11 as  Elijah  and   John the Baptist   did.  To the world or Satan’s government there is only   ONE  GOD,  there is no room for the believers of the  Creator,  who must choose between  God  and the  Anti-god  Mat.16:25.  True Christians are   persecuted   and it is almost impossible to serve and to   “obey,”   which means to   “worship”   our Creator now Rom.6:16.

God’s Two Witnesses will Use His Power

We are at the  End of the World,  and God’s  “judgment”   IPet.4:17 is now upon the  whole  world  for many  reasons.  Our Creator is going to use  first  His  Anti-god, Satan and his  Beast  to punish us for  idolatry.  Christ must   “destroy”   the   “population”   of the world, that the angel’s “reconciliation”   could begin 2Cor.5:18; Col.1:20, from their   “alienation”   Col.1:21.  The elimination of the world’s population will humble the spirits, ruling over humanity.   When there is no humanity the demons function, rulership is taken away, which gives them their identity.   Now they will be ready to listen to God. 

Our Anti-god, Satan to accomplish the  “destruction”  of humanity Jn.10:10 will use his angel, the Bible calls the   Beast   Rev.11:7, and his  200  million  soldiers,   who are imprisoned in the “bottomless pit”   Rev.9:1-5.   We see them now in action as they are taking over the nations governments to install tyranny.  This is why we see the unbelievable evil and suffering world wide, like never in human history Mat.24:21. 

In the same time our  Creator  also sends His   Two  Witnesses   Rev.11:3 to help those who are willing not only to   “believe”   in Him, but to   “obey”  Him. We have been in tyranny since   June  5, 1933,   but it is now going to be   “enforced”.   There is no room for God’s system and God’s people, as it was none for Israel in Egypt.  God sent   Moses   to bring out His people from  Egypt.   Now God is sending His   First  Witness   of His   Two Witnesses  to bring out the Christians from the Anti-god’s kingdom.   Our Creator   “hardened”   Pharaoh’s   “heart,”   not to let Israel to   “come  out”   of Egypt Ex.7:3, to give us an  example  that we may  trust  our Creator ICor.10:11.  This is why Jesus said:   “fear  not  them  which   kill   the body, but are  not able  to kill the  soul / spirit:  but rather   FEAR   Him which is able to  destroy   both  soul / spirit and body in hell” Mat.10:28.   

Egypt  was destroyed by God’s plagues.  The last plague, the killing of   “all  first  born”   the leaders of the world, man and beasts finished  Egypt.  Later we see   Elijah   sent by God to   “restore”   God’s religion from Baal worship in Israel.  This time  Elijah  had to kill all the  religious  leaders,  the Priests and Prophets of Baal.  

The   First  Witnesses’  function is to bring   PEACE   between Satan’s and God’s forces.  He is restoring   “God’s  way”   which leads to  eternal life  Mat.7:14,   Paul’s gospel   Rom.2:16.  As long as the   First  Witness   is here, there is some protection for God’s people.   When the  First  Witness “flee”   to God’s   Place of Safety  Rev.12:6, the Christians will be   martyred,   unless they forfeit their salvation.  

Since  the   “whole  world  is  deceived”   Rev.12:9  Christians  can’t  listen  to God’s  First  Witness,  because  they  can’t  believe  that  they are  “deceived.” 

America, the United States has   fallen  religiously   when we changed our money.  We have  fallen financially,  when we changed from God’s and our  money  to a   credit   system, of the Anti-god on June 5, 1933  by   House  Joint  Resolution  192.   Our laws and  government  fell  very soon after that, to   “obey”   the Anti-god.    We carried an  illusion  that we have  not fallen  but we did.   Now our fall will be  manifest  to the   whole world,   as a   warning   to the world, that the   Beast’s  system will fall, at the   End of the World,   as we did.   

As the Beast will   “torment”   us now, for   “five  month”   Rev.9:5, so will the  Second  Witnesses   will   “torment”   the world later, for   three  and  a  half  years   Rev.11:3,10.  Moses also   “tormented” Egypt  with God’s   plagues,   although I do not know how long the plagues lasted on Egypt.  The plagues are now here, this is why this time period is called the   “times  of  sorrows”   Mat.24:8.  We are fortunate that the   “spirit  of  man”   ICor.2:11 can’t see or accept that our Creator   “created  evil”   Isa.45:7,  and will   “destroy”   the world again as in Noah’s day Mat.24:37.  People believe, deceiving themselves that the world will be   destroyed   after  they have died, not in our lifetime.   

It is unfortunate that we will experience   traumatic  and  cataclysmic   events very soon.  None of us will be able to  avoid  our  religious,  financial  and  legal   conflicts.   Our   LIVES   will be  saved  or forfeited  by our  understanding  and  action.  How we  solve  our conflicts will determine if we will  LIVE  or  DIE.  Our trials are  necessary  that we may see that we are   “evil,”   and we need God’s help to change us to be   “good,”   by changing our   evil  human  nature,  our   “spirit  of  man” ICor.2:11, by  baptism  to receive God’s “holy spirit.”

God’s  Power  IS  You

We must realize that Satan’s power is used   directly,  using money, laws, and our lust, to   SAVE   our lives.  God’s power is used   in-directly,   through us, by us willing to   LOSE  our lives Mat.16:25, to save others.  This is why God’s   “will”  on the earth can’t be fulfilled without us Mat.6:10.  God will not,  and  cannot establish   His  kingdom  on earth  without us V.10!   God  can’t  start His   “work”   in you, until He sends His   Two  Witnesses   to   “restore”    the truth to us Mat.17:11, that we could be   “converted”  into  “Paul’s  religion  or  gospel,”   to set up God’s Kingdom by which we   ALL   are and will be   “judged”   Rom.2:16.   We see a  progression  of God’s   “operation”  of  salvation  today Col.2:12, from  Christ  to the   Two  Witnesses,  to those who are  “called”  Jn.6:44, and   “chosen”  Acts.10:41, in this   “age”   Mat.7:14 to an ever,  increasing  group of humanity, which takes place in many of God’s  future   “dispensations”   Eph.1:9-10, and in the future   “ages  to  come”   Eph.2:7. 

God’s  First Witness’  “private,”  first  phase  “ work”  was  done  in  America,   “restoring”  Mat.17:11,  “Paul’s  gospel”   Rom.2:16, like  John  the  Baptist  and  Elijah  did that some of the Christians, the   “elect:”   of God Mat.24:22 could be in the  resurrection   without dying   2Thes.4:17. God’s  First  Witness,   will appear to do his  “publicly”  work  when  his  system  “works”  for the  Christians,  and  before  the “spirit   Beast”  comes,   just as God talked with Adam and Eve before Satan was allowed to deceive them, because their deception was pre-ordained as the crucifixion of Jesus was Rev.13:8. 

God’s  First  Witness  must come to warn the world, and to   “call”  God’s children as Noah called the animals  of all types, by the angels  guiding  them  by  two into the ark.  If God is not   “calling”   you, you   can’t   come to God Jn.6:44  at this time.   God’s   First  Witness   must come, to give us the  “SEAL  of  GOD”  Rev.9:4, to   “protect”   us from the   poisons   in the  air,   our   water   and   food,   not to mention the many   plagues  and inoculations.   Later we will need to be  SAVED  from death by persecution, and the End of the World  scenario.  

God’s  Second  Witness  and  its  two  Prophets  will  come  before the  “human  Beast”   will appear in  Jerusalem.  The real   “BEAST”   the   all powerful  world ruler  comes after the human Beast’s   “deadly  wound  was  healed,”   when the spirit Beast will  possess  the man’s Beast’s body Rev.13:12. 

To have   PEACE   between Satan’s function of  killing  humanity,   and the Christians’ function to “obey”   God, to  save  some Christians  into   eternal life   and Christ’s physical millennial reign, they must   “come  out”   from the  “jurisdiction”   of the Anti-god Rev.18:4.  To do this Christians must set up   God’s Kingdom   on earth  religiously,  legally  and  financially  Mat.6:33.  This is the only way Christians can be protected until God tells us to   FLEE   to His Place of Safety Rev.12:6. 

You  are  God’s  Power  to  do  God’s  “Work”  at   the   End  of  the  World,  aiding God’s First Witness  Acts.13:41.  God is using you to  reach out  to others.  God is not using money, advertising, benefits and privileges to reach others, but by your sacrifice.  God’s power, His   “holy  spirit”   in you, directed by the  “knowledge  of  salvation”  to   sacrifice   will give you the power, to protect and save others, if you do it    JOYFULLY.  If you are  sacrificing  grudgingly,  God’s power will   not  flow   through you.   If you don’t do things  joyfully,  you are  not  converted, and you do not understand God’s  salvation,  and God’s  purpose  for this temporary and carnal life.   You are  not ready  to be resurrected to eternal life. 

Christ will   “pour  out  His  spirit   ‘UPON’   all  flesh”   Rom.2:17, not on all of us now but when our  time of   “calling”   will come.  We are  all  called in our own   “order”   ICor.15:23, as we were pre-ordained  2Tim.1:9.  Now only a  “few”  are  “called”  to find eternal life Mat.7:14.  The   “many”   will be given the   “holy  spirit”   to be  “on”   them  that they could receive the truth, and to help the Christians.  To be a Christian you must have  God’s  spirit   “IN”   you, as the Christians were   “filled” with it on the day of Pentecost Acts.2:4.  Today this will be done by the   “laying  on  of hands,”  by the followers of God’s  First  Witness,  who converted to   “Paul’s  Gospel”   Rom.2:16, the   “mystery”   Eph.3:3,  as  Apostle Paul  received God’s   “holy  spirit”   through  Ananias Acts.8:17. 

This  is  when  you  become  God’s  power.  You will use this  power t o   pray   for  others,  that the holy  spirit   may  come    “upon  them,”   and to help them to  see  God’s  truth   and to have the power to   “obey”   God’s truth, and by it   take  them  out   from the   “snare  of  the  devil,”   who have   “taken them  captive  by  Satan’s  will”   2Tim.2:26. 

God’s  First  Witness  comes to  make   you   God’s  power   on the earth, before Satan who was “cast  out”   from heaven Rev.12:9 is given the  “key  of  the  bottomless  pit”   to    “open  it”   Rev.9:1-2, to release the  “spirit  Beast,”   Apollyon  or Apollo from the   “bottomless  pit”  Rev.11:7.   Soon, after that time the   “man   Beast”   will appear.   This will be close to the arrival of God’s   Second   Witness and its  two Prophets   Rev.11:3.  This is when the   Temple  of  God   will be built V3.   When God’s Second  Witness,   and its   two  Prophets  have  finished  their   “testimony,”   Rev.11:7 of three and a half years  or shorter  V.3,  will our  Creator  give  total power  to the Anti-god to   “rule  as  God”    on the earth  2Thes.2:4.  He will  kill  God’s   two  Prophets   Rev.11:7, and   all   the  Christians  who did not   “flee”   to  God’s   Place  of  Safety   Rev.12:17; 13:15; 19:21, that   they may   qualify   to be in the first or   “better”   resurrection at Christ’s second coming Heb.11:35; Rev.20:4-6.  

These had to  qualify   to be in the   resurrection  through   martyrdom,   because they had no access to   “Paul’s  Gospel”   Rom.2:16 or God’s   full  knowledge  of  salvation.  They could not   “perfect  their  love”   IJn.4:12, that their   “love  made  perfect”   V.17, because they could   not  overcome   their  “FEAR   of  death”   Heb.2:15,  for   “perfect  love  casts  out  fear:   because  fear  has   TORMENT,   He that   fears  is   not  ‘made  perfect  in  love”   V.18 to be in the  resurrection  without dying IThes.4:17; Rev.21:8. 

I pray that God may give you   MERCY   that you may find  God’s   GRACE,   to be found   “worthy”  to be the    power  of  God,   at the   End  of  the  Word,   to do God’s   work   Acts.13:41.

In the reality of Christ's eternal love,
