We  are  Living  in  Total  Confusion   

Dear Friend,

We are living at the   End of the World   Mat.24:3, when God’s  Two Witnesses   are ready to start their  “public work”  Rev.11:3.  We are  before the Biblical  “spirit Beast” is ready to be released from the  “bottomless pit”   Rev.9:1.  We are living at a time when the   “whole world is deceived”   Rev.12:9, as the people were in Noah’s day Mat.24:37.   This means that   Christians, Jews and Gentiles   are   “worshipping,”   which means   “obeying”   Rom.6:16 the   “god of this world”   2Cor.4:4, who is Satan, the Devil  Jn.8:44.   We are  “deceived”  thinking that we know our Creator when we only know the Anti-god.   

The ramification of this truth is that we don’t know who our Creator is, and that means we don’t know who we are.   We think that we know the truth, but we only know the  “deception”  of the Anti-god.  As the result our religions and churches are preventing our salvation Mat.23:13, and will cause our  death,  as it did to the people in Noah’s day Mat.24:37. 

It is then essential to know who God’s   “Two Witnesses”  are, for they are sent by our Creator Eph.3:9 to   “restore”  the truth to us Mat.17:11,  that we may become one of God’s   “Elect”   Mat.24:22 to be  “saved”  and to be in the  “resurrection”  ICor.15:52,  without dying  IThes.4:17,  or to be one of God’s   “Firstfruits”   Rev. 14:4,  who have a  chance  to be in God’s   millennial,   physical   kingdom without dying.   The Bible seem to indicate that   only these two groups, the  “righteous”   will be   saved   at the   End of the World   Mat.24:37, when the   earth   will be   “destroyed,”   as it was in the past a few times, like in the   days of Noah,   when only   eight  people were saved,  Noah his wife, his sons and their wives.  

It is vital to know that all the world’s religions including Christianity do not have God’s salvation, only the Anti-god’s salvation.   This means that the Christians do not have God’s   “holy spirit”   in them, or eternal life.  They might have an angelic spirit, which is not eternal.  This is why   Apostle Paul   was given God’s true   “knowledge  of   SALVATION”   Lk.1:77,   which Paul received from  Christ   in the   “revelation  of  the  mystery”   Eph.3:3.  This is why Paul  separated  “his  gospel”   Rom.2:16 from the gospel of the   Twelve Apostles,   which was not a   full   but only a temporary or “partial” gospel. 

Only  Apostle   “Paul’s gospel”   gives  us  the  reason   why  God  “created  evil”  Isa.45:7, and why He    “Created  Satan  the  Devil  evil”    Jn.8:44, and why humanity and the angelkind was   “ALIENATED”   from God  Col.1:21, using  our   “sin”   IJn.3:4, to disobey God’s  laws,  and later in the    “ages to come”   to be  “RECONCILIATED”   to our Father  V.20; 2Cor.5:18 through the  sacrifice  of Jesus.   God in His true  “operation  of  salvation”   Col.2:12  also using the   “sacrifice”   of   ALL  humanity and Christ’s,  to   “reconciliate”   the angels to Himself  Eph.1:9-10,  in God’s future   “ages  to  come”    Eph.2:7.   This means that   all   the angels, who are  imprisoned  in the  “bottomless  pit,”   will be  released  Rev.9:1.  These rebellious angels have   “fallen,”  after  Satan was  tested  to be the   “god  of  this  world”   over humanity.   Satan to qualify to be our  “god”  had to  “deceive”  one third  of the angelic host  Rev.12:4.  

Not knowing our  Creator,  since He   “hid”   behind the Anti-god, and His  truth   Mat.13:35,  Eph.3:9 made humanity and the angels   (there are may  races  and  types  of angels, not just   “good and evil” )   VICTIMS   of God’s  “pre-destinated”  plan Eph.1:11.  This means that God, our   “Creator is  Evil”   to us!   For us to be   reconciled   to God, we must first    “forgive  God”  for creating evil, making  man and the angels suffer.  By seeing    “PAUL’S  GOSPEL,”    we can begin the process of our   “reconciliation”   to our Creator.  Without   Apostle  Paul   and  his gospel  there  is   NO  Salvation! 

The  “restoration” of this   “KNWOLEDGE  of  SALVATION”   Lk.1:77 is the  proof  that  God’s   “First Witness”   of His   Two Witnesses   have done his  private  “work”  or  “testimony”  Rev.11:7,  doing God’s   “WORK”  which our Creator promised to  do  at the   End of the World  Acts.13:41! 

The discovery of  Apostle Paul, and his   VITAL   “gospel”  is one of our best  proof  that we are living at the   “End of the World!!”    We must   REPENT  of our idolatry.   The majority of us   CAN’T   “repent”  because to find   “the  way”   to eternal life is given to a  “few”  Mat.7:14 in this age Eph.3:5.  This is why if you are not   “called”  Jn.6:44 by our  Father  in heaven Acts.10:41, to   follow Christ,  you can’t come to Christ, in this  “age”  or  “dispensation”  Eph.3:2.  (The churches do not have this truth.)

The majority or the  “many”  Mat.7:13  can’t  come to our Creator now because they need to be “sacrificed,”  as the people in Noah’s day, for the  “reconciliation”  of the  angels.  This is why   humanity  will be  “sacrificed”  at the end of the “seventh seal”  Rev.8:1, at the return of Jesus now our Christ Zech.14:4; Mat. 24:27.  This is when America will be broken up and destroyed.   The whole earth will be  recreated,  the mountains lowered, the oceans changed, the poles will shift. No building will remain standing.  Life as we know it under Satan’s system will be totally destroyed, and like Noah started a new world, so will be God’s Elect and His Firstfruits.

Who are the Elect of God?

We see that to be an   “Elect of God”   Mat.24:22 is a great  privilege,  and only those  “few”  can be who are   “called”   by our Father in heaven, and were   “chosen”   Mat. 20:16, by  qualifying.  To qualify we must not only   “believe,”  but willing to  “suffer”  for Christ’s sake Phil.1:29.  We must be willing to fulfill Christ’s   “requirements”   that is to   LOVE    Jn.15:13 our Creator more than our physical   father,  mother,  wife,  husband,  children,  brothers  and  sisters  and  our  OWN  life,  to  be  Christ’s  “disciples”  Lk.14:26.  We must be willing to    “count the cost”   to go against   “the way”  of the world, to live   “the way”   God requires Mat.7:13,14 using God’s  laws,  and   money,   instead Satan’s codes  and  credit.   We must be willing to  “forsahake  all  that  we  have”  or we can’t be Christ’s “disciples” Lk.14:33.  A disciple is only a  student  of Christ,  not a Christian!   

To be an Elect of God,  you must go through the   “operation  of  God.”   You must become a  disciple of Christ  first,   then  advance  to be a   Christian.    A Christian must   “come  out”   of this world Rev.18:4  religiously,  legally  and  financially,  by  establishing  God’s  Kingdom  on  earth Mat.6:10, 33 to be an   “Ambassador  of  Christ”   5Cor.5:20, because you   can’t   serve two masters, God our Creator Eph.3:9 and   mammon  (money)  Mat.6:24,  the   “god  of  this  world.”   

As a Christian you must  “obey” God’s  “laws of faith”  Rom.3:27,  a “higher” law than the ten commandments which was given in the   Old  Testament.    In The   New  Testament   God’s ten laws were reduced to   ONE  LAW,  which states:   “whatsoever  is  not  of  faith i s   sin”   Rom.14: 23.   As a Christian you must   “live  by  faith”  Rom.1:17, like the   “fowls  of  the  air”   and the   “lillies of  the  field”   Mat.6:26,28.   You are  not  allowed to   “earn  a  living”  as the Israelites of the Old Testament  did and the Gentiles do V.32, who had no faith in God, and  CAN'T  have faith in God now, not having His holy spirit.   We all know that   without  faith   it is  impossible to please God Heb.11:6. 

This  is  where  the  Christians  are  opposite  to  carnal  people.  As carnals, we discipline ourselves to   “s-a-v-e”   our life and to    “get ahead”   in life, to live a   “good  life”   in this world.  It is required  of Christians to  “sacrifice”  this   physical life  for  eternal  life   Mat.16:25.  Anyone who is not willing to do this is   not   a Christian.  This leaves out  most  of  the Christians in the  churches, proving their  deception.  This is why Jesus said:   “I am come   NOT  to send   ‘peace’  on earth, but a  ‘sword.”    For I am come to  set  a man at   variance  against his  father,  and the  daughter  against her  mother … and a    “man’s  foes  shall  be  they  of  his  own  household”  Mat.10:34-36.   

Now,   “examine yourself”   and see if you are a Christian   “God’s way”   2Cor.13:5,  or the   Anti-god’s  way.    Are you the  “few”  our Father  “called”  Jn.6:44, or part of the   “many”   of the Anti-god.   When Jesus asked this of His disciples  “His  disciples  went  back, and   WALKED  NO MORE  WITH  HIM”  Jn.6:66.  If you look at the  Christians   you will find that they  “obey”  the Anti-god, by using his   “codes”   instead God’s   LAWS,  and   “credit”   instead God’s   MONEY.  They also   “obey”   all the   “doctrines  of  the  Pharisees”  Mat.16:6,12, and the Anti-god’s   “mystery  of  iniquity”  gospel  2Thes.2:7 instead of    “God’s  mystery”   given to Apostle Paul Eph.3:3.   This proves that we are like Jesus said in Mat.24:37.  

Who are or will be the Christians?    

We are told that  out of  the   people of the world,   God is using His   Two Witnesses   to  call  the  144,000  Israelites,   who were  pre-destinated  to   “obey”   God at the  End  of  the  World  Rev.7:4, as the   7000   in Elijah’s day.  These will  follow  God’s   “Second  Witness”   who will have two Prophets.  God, in order to have some  Christians  at the  End of the World   has sent His   First Witness  of His   Two  Witnesses.   These Christians will be the   “Great  Multitude”   from the Gentile Christians Rev.7:9.  These will   “come out”   from the  Christian  churches  of the Anti-god.   

Out  of  the  Christians  our  Father  is   “calling”  a  “few,”   His   Elect.  The  Elect   will  live by God’s   “laws  of  the  spirit”   Rom.8:2,  which are the laws of the   Godhead  Acts.17:29; Rom.1:20; Col.2:9, also known as the  God family,  where we will be   “JOINT HEIRS   with Christ”  Rom.8:17.  (The Trinity doctrine is one of the doctrines of the Pharisees  Mat.16:6.)  The  Elect  keep God’s  “highest”  laws, they   don’t   live by faith, but rather in the   “reality  of  Christ’s  eternal  love”   now.  The  “laws of faith”   are also  temporary  laws, as were the  Old Testament’s  Ten Commandments.  This is why it is    required    of the Elect of God not only to have  faith  and to make   sacrifices   for God, but to be a   “living  sacrifice”   daily  for God Gal.2:20.   God gave the   Elect   His  laws  and the  religion  of the   “mystery  of  God,”   or God’s full   “knowledge  of  salvation”   Lk.1:77.   This is why the   Elect   can  “perfect”   their love, as God’s love is  “perfected”  in them IJn.4:12, until God’s love is    “made  perfect”   in them V.17,  by overcoming their   “fear  of  death”  Heb.2:15, to   “qualify”   to be in the  resurrection  ICor.15:52   without dying   IThes.4:17.  We know that any who are   afraid   can’t   be in the resurrection Rev.21:8.   This is why the  Christians,  who do not have the   “mystery”   of God, must   “perfect”   their love through   “death”  an act of faith,  to be in the   resurrection   at Christ’s second coming.  Without death Christians can be only in the millennial physical kingdom of Christ. 

The Elect’s are   required   to   complete   the   “sacrifice  of  Jesus,”   which Jesus could not fully  accomplish.  This is why Paul had to  suffer,   offer his body   like Jesus did, for the churches sake Col.1:24.   The Elect   must    sacrifice  themselves also   in  behalf  of  the  Christians,  and  the angels   for their   "reconciliation"  and  that they could   “come  out”   of this world, and that some of the Christians may become God’s   Elect.   To do this, the Elect    can’t    “entangle themselves with the affairs of this world,”   because they are like   soldiers,  who were chosen to serve God’s family 2Tim.2:4.  The   Elect   now must be supported by God using the Christians, like the Priests were by the Levites, who were supported by Israel with their   "tithes."

The Elect’s function is to  “restore”  true Christianity, and to set up God’s   laws,   religions   and governments   on this earth, as a   Place of Safety   Rev.12:6   before   Christ’s coming kingdom.  This is how the  Elect  aids the Christians during their  persecution.  The Elect also   “hold  back”  or  delay  the Biblical Beast’s coming 2Thes.2:6,  giving   TIME   for the Christians to    REPENT    and for the  population  of the world to prepare. 

Who are the First Fruits of God

We now see that the   “Firstfruits”   of God  Rev.14:4 are   two  big  groups  made up by the   144,000  Israelites,   from the twelve tribes of Israel Rev.7:4 (except the tribe of Dan,)    AND  the next group  of God's   “Great   Multitude”   of the   Christians   V.9.   The  tribe of Dan  sold itself to the Anti-god,  so their salvation will come later.    First  the   Israelites  will be called to follow God’s   Second Witness,   who will arrive in   Jerusalem.  The Torah believing   Jews / Israel   will recognize him and will help him to build the  Temple of God.   God’s   Old Testament   laws  will be put in force and the religion of the  Old Testament  will be   “restored”   with the new Priesthood.   All the official   “sacrifices,”   the Sabbath, and the annual   Holy  Days  will also be  “restored”   Mat.17:11, as it was revealed to Daniel 8:13. 

How Christ  will accomplish this will be interesting to see.    A  huge change  must take place in Israel and in America to make this happen.   At the  present  time  the   Catholics   want to control Israel’s religion under the Pope, for the   Biblical Beast.   The  Zionists,  who believe the Cabala, and who are the religious descendants of the Pharisees and their religion, want to control Israel’s religion also, to gain   world domination   through  religion,  banking  and  commerce.  They are now almost  ready  for the Beast’s arrival.  This is why the Christian churches,  Catholics and the  Zionists want to have their   “messiah”   to come now, which will be the   Biblical Beast.  These two groups, influencing the rest of the world are  ready  to push the world into the  cataclysmic  event   of their   “messiah’s,”   the Biblical Beast’s arrival.   These religions are all enemies to God’s true religions. 

Our Creator has a surprise for them.  As   World War III   would start, Christ will send His   Second Witness   of His Two Witnesses and will   “defuse”  the conflict, that His words would be fulfilled Mat.24:35; Rev.11:3; Mat.17:11.   God’s  Two Witnesses  will  “withhold”  the arrival of the  “man of sin,”  who is the Beast 2Thes.2:6,3.  Soon, the   Second Witness   will begin his   “work”  or   “testimony”  Rev.11:7.   This  is when the   Jews  will  return  to  Israel,   and  the 144,000 will be converted into the Torah believing religion of the Jews.  God will send His  “holy  sprit”  to be   “on”   them, to give them  power  to go into all the world to convert people asking them to   REPENT.   

This is when God’s religion’s   “revival,”   will begin, and its fruits will be the   Great  Multitude.  These Gentiles  not having access to God’s   First   Witness’   gospel,  the mystery  will mix the Old and the New Testament's  religion.  God  will  separate  His children into the  Old Testament  religion, the New Testament and the Mystery.  The   New Testament’s   believers will be separated into God’s    “seven  churches”   of Revelation chapters two and three.  The    Great   Multitude    will be true Christianity and its  seven churches.  The   division   between the churches will by the  degree  they are able to   “come  out”   from the false doctrines of Christianity.  These churches will mix some of God’s and Satan’s   doctrines.  This is what  Israel did in the days of  Elijah.  They were trying to serve  two  masters.  Israel  loved  the world, as   Lot’s  wife did,  who was turned into a pillar of salt.  God will send leaders,  Sheppard’s,  for His churches and His people.  

The   Elect of God   will come out  of the seven churches’   “Philadelphia Church”   Rev.3:7.  These will follow  God’s  First  Witness,  and   Apostle Paul’s gospel   Rom.2:16.  Now we see how small of a group the   Elect of God   will be,  compared to the   Great Multitude   and the   Jewish converts   of the   Second Witness,   not to mention compared to the world’s population. 

Please notice that the   Firstfruits of God   will not be able to   “perfect”   their love, like the Elect, because they have   no access   to God’s   “mystery,”   and / or they may not have   “time”  to become one of God’s Elect.  This will prevent them to be in the resurrection without dying.  Now you see why I say that they only have a “partial” salvation, not like the Elect, who has God’s full salvation.  

Israel,   or the Old Testament religion has   no salvation,   only a promise of it.   This is why their rewards for obeying God’s laws are  physical blessings,  and receive it in  this life,  their physical blessings and / or curses Deut.28.   Christians,   who obey the spiritual   “laws of faith,”   receive their  “spiritual”  rewards in this life, (growing in God's spiritual knowledge and the  spirit of God,  eternal life in them) not physical blessings.  Christians will receive their  full  rewards at Christ’s   second coming   Mat.16:27, either in His  physical  or  spiritual  kingdom.  This is why Paul instructed  Timothy,  that those who   “suppose that gain is Godliness”    are   “men of corrupt minds, and   DESTITUTE   of the truth”  ITim.6:5.  This is not good news to the   “prosperity teachers”   of todays deceived  Christianity.

The  Calling and the Separation of God’s Elect

We are at the   End of the World,   and the   “tribulation”   Mat.24:3, 21. We are in the   “sixth  seal”  Rev.6:12.  We  don’t see  some of the  signs  of the sixth seal, because they will come at the end of this time period, to prepare us for the arrival of the  Biblical Beast.  The world is in turmoil.  Satan’s function has changed from   “stealing”   our wealth and health, to   “KILLING”   humanity Jn.10:10.  This change took place during the   Iraq war   in   2003,  when Satan was   “cast  out”   from the lower heaven to the earth Rev.12:9,12.    We are rushing into the   “First  WOE”   Rev.9:12.  You can now see Satan’s  lawless system  installed  world wide.   We see tyranny or Satan’s   “one  way”  of  “lawlessness”   of   “only evil”   Mat.7:23  being installed step by step  progressively  world wide.  Humans point fingers at different  people  and  countries,  as the   cause of evil   but we must point it to   Satan,   and through it to our   Creator,   because He  “created evil”  Isa.45:7.   Like I said we are all, angels and man are   VICTIMS   of God’s  “pre-ordained”  plan of our and the angel’s  salvation.  This is unknown in our churches. 

Seeing God’s    “operation  of  salvation”   Col.2:12 and its   time periods,   we must conclude that God’s   Second  Witness   must come first, to   “call”   the    144,000 Israelites,   who will call   God’s   Great  Multitude.   Out of this  great multitude  of Christians God will call  His   seven  churches.  Out of these  seven churches  will come the   “Philadelphia  church”   Rev.3:7, whose members will  be  “God’s Elect.”    

In order for the   Second Witness   to appear, there must be great   political,  financial  and  other changes  to take place.  The  system  we have now  needs  to be changed because the Anti-god needs it in order to   fulfill   his given function, plus our  Creator  requires it.   I feel that   “first”  a financial change  will partially   correct   our present untenable condition.   For a short time we might even use a  money system  based on gold and silver, to help the arrival of the   human  Beast.  Our financial system is so   corrupt   that it is now ready to   CRASH.   Satan must  transfer  himself to be an    “angel  of  light”    2Cor.11:14.   In order to be the   false  “christ,”   Satan has to  restore  some moral responsibility.  He will   remove   some of the corrupt   leaders,   and   clean house,   that he may   appear   “righteous.”   This is why he will   collapse   the financial system. The  dollar  and the  euro,  and all the other currencies will   change,  to make room for Satan’s   new currency   the   “mark.”   This change will create great   stress  and add to the   plagues  which will  KILL  many to fulfill Satan’s  killing  function  Jn.10:10. 

This will allow   new leaders   to arise to bring in Satan’s   new system,   giving   false hope   to people that finally we are going to have   “peace  and  prosperity.”    New technologies will be introduced to  solve  many problems.  While the   Two  Witnesses   are working there will be great   conflicts,   forcing people to make a   choice   to   “obey”   God or the Anti-god.   

These  changes  are  here.   We must  prepare  by strengthening our  faith  with the   true knowledge   of God, to have a part in God’s    revival    that we may not   fall   for the   revival   of the Anti-god, as the Christians did when the  persecutions  came under Nero the Roman emperor.  The  Bible  indicates that    “many”   will be   “converted”   at first, but  will   “fall  away”    2Thes.2:3, and will lose their opportunity to be   saved   at the   End of the World. 

My fervent prayer is that you become an   ELECT  of  GOD   to be in the resurrection of the Elect at Christ’s second coming Heb.11:35.  Please  Examine  yourself  and   count the cost,   and see that it is worthy to be one of God’s Elect.  

May Christ bless,   Protect   and   SAVE  you at the   End of the World. 

In the reality of Christ Eternal love,
