End-Time Soldier of Christ

NOTE: Another total classic from the late 1970’s. Very applicable
to today, sadly!

by L. Vere Elliott.

This is the vision/revelation.  I was in the midst of a great meeting
hall (a church), and the walls and ceilings were covered with jewels
and ornaments, and the windows were made of colored glass (a
typical cathedral or church).  The hall was full of people, some rich,
some poor, some sick and crippled, mute and blind; but all had
chains on and were hand-cuffed, and no one was free, (a picture of
today’s church – they’re in church but they’re not free).  In front of
the meeting hall was a large platform, with a pulpit on one side
and a large cage on the other, with a huge green serpent in it; and
hanging over where the speaker would stand, was a great sword
suspended by two strings horizontally; and on the platform were
several ministers,  8 or 10, clothed in clerical robes, sitting one

Breaking Point – Top Trends By Gerald Celente 12-16-9
KINGSTON, NY – The first decade of the 21st century is going out the way it came in with a bust and a bang.
The Great Recession is not over. There is no recovery. It’s a cover up.  Expect another wave of terrorism. Possibly of 9/11 magnitude.
As well as challenges, also expect profitable and transformational social, health, environmental, entertainment, cultural, business and consumer trends to emerge in 2010.
· The Crash of 2010: The Bailout Bubble is about to burst. Be prepared for the onset of the Greatest Depression.
· Depression Uplift: The pursuit of elegance and affordable sophistication will raise spirits and profits.
· Terrorism 2010: Years of war in Afghanistan and Iraq and now Pakistan ­have intensified anti-American sentiment. 2010 will be the year of the lone-wolf, self-radicalized gunman.
· Neo-Survivalism: A new breed of survivalist is devising ingenious stratagems to beat the crumbling system. And, they’re not all heading for the hills with AK-47’s and pork & beans.
· Not Welcome Here: Fueled by fear and resentment, a global anti-immigration trend Read the rest of this entry »

Article: Ecumenical Movement – Other Religions Uniting With Roman Catholics

Integral human development, the “commitment” of Hindus and Christians, can be only reached by taking responsibility for one another, which involves the recognition of freedom – of conscience, thought and religion – and the guarantee of political will to work for greater protection of human rights and peaceful coexistence. These concepts are the central focus of the message that the Pontifical Council For Interreligious Dialogue sent to Hindus on the occasion of Diwali, the festival of lights.

Entitled “Hindus and Christians committed to Read the rest of this entry »

The Antichrist Will Have The Support Of The False Prophet And Organized Religion

The Antichrist is a leopard beast with ten horns and seven heads.

Revelation 13:1-2 (NIV) And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion.

The Antichrist will be a governmental leader, and will ultimately set up a One World Government.  The ten horns and seven heads, are other kings or countries that will be involved in the empire of the Antichrist. The ten horns and seven heads, are referred to as two separate parts of the whole. The reason that the ten horns and seven heads are always referenced in this manner, is that they will never fully blend into a single unit. The ten horns are Islamic kings or countries allied with the Antichrist. The seven heads will be represented by “Judeo-Christian” kings or countries, allied with the Jewish False Prophet (Pope).

The Antichrist will be accompanied by a LAMB BEAST referenced in Revelation 13:11-18 printed below.  Satan, the serpent, is the most crafty beast of the field (Genesis 3:1).  In historic Satanic craftiness, the Read the rest of this entry »

JESUS, YESHUA or YAHSHUA?? -by Dr. Michael L. Brown.

I am continually amazed by how many people write to our ministry and ask us questions like this one, which came in last week: “Some Christians say we have to use the Hebrew name, Yashua.  They say calling on the name of Jesus is calling on Zeus. That Jesus is a disguise name for Satan. What answers do you have for this? Where can we prove the name of Jesus is correct to use in its English translation and pronunciation?”

As bizarre as these questions are, the fact that they keep coming up means that they need to be addressed, so here are some simple responses (for more details, see What Do Jewish People ThinkAbout Jesus, question #38).

The original Hebrew-Aramaic name of Jesus is yeshu‘a, which is short for yehoshu‘a (Joshua), just as Read the rest of this entry »

Visitors to a gallery in Scotland have been defacing the Bible in the name of art. The Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow has invited art lovers to write their thoughts down in an open Bible on display as part of its Made in God’s Image exhibition. Next to the Bible lie several pens with a note saying: “If you feel you have been excluded from the Bible, please write your way back into it”. Several visitors have already taken up the offer, choosing to leave messages of abuse and obscenity rather than support for the words of God. “This is all sexist pish, so disregard it all,” one message read. Another scrawled over the first page of Genesis: “I am Bi, Female & Proud. I want no god who is disappointed in this”. Others wrote: “The Gospel According to Luke Skywalker” Read the rest of this entry »

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. –1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

As you may know, I have taken the time to educate myself on the problem of domestic abuse and the mindset of a female abuser. I have communicated with both Christian and non-Christian abuse counselors locally and nationwide, written a Letter to the Editor of our local newspaper, shared my concerns with numerous pastors locally, and written the story, “The Waitress, the Man, and the Rose” ( http://tinyurl.com/WaitressManRose ).

Yesterday, during another phone conversation with Paula Silva (a Christian counselor and former sufferer of domestic abuse), I was informed of the widespread abuse occurring within the body of Christ, and that many of the calls she receives are from pastors’ wives–all of whom are suffering from one or more forms of domestic abuse (verbal, emotional, and physical).

Yes, you read it right: wives of pastors are being verbally, emotionally, and physically abused by the very men who stand in their pulpits at least three times per week preaching the love and compassion of Jesus Christ. Read the rest of this entry »

A Christian doctor in England was removed from an adoption panel because she refused to endorse applications by gay couples.

Pediatrician Dr. Sheila Matthews had requested to abstain from voting in cases of same-sex couples, as she has done for the past five years. But the Northhamptonshire County Council said it decided to instead replace her on the panel because her view on gay adoption did not comply with England’s new Equality Law, as reported by U.K.’s the Daily Mail.

The Equality Law forbids discrimination against homosexuals or transsexuals in terms of access to goods and services, including adoption agencies. Under the controversial law, even religious institutions and churches are forced to hire open, practicing homosexuals.

Matthews said both as a medical doctor and as a Christian she cannot recommend placing a child with same-sex parents despite what the new legislation calls for. Men and women, she explains, bring different characteristics to parenting. Mothers are more nurturing while fathers are more challenging, Matthews said Read the rest of this entry »

NEW DELHI, July 14 (Compass Direct News) – Nearly 11 months after an unprecedented wave of anti-Christian attacks shook the eastern state of Orissa, a reign of terror continues in the area as the former rioters issue death threats to witnesses. Of the more than 750 cases filed in various police stations in Kandhamal district and neighboring Gajapati district, only one has resulted in conviction. Some trials are underway amid reports of armed extremists threatening to kill witnesses. The Rev. Dibya Paricha of the Cuttack-Bhubaneswar Catholic Archdiocese said several witnesses are shrinking away to save their lives. On Thursday (July 9), a witness in Salapsahi village, in the Kasinpadar area under the Phiringia police station, refused to testify in a murder case. “During the trial, the complainant, the younger brother of the victim, said he did not know anything about the case,” Paricha, coordinator of the Christian Legal Association’s legal cell in Kandhamal, told Compass. “The previous day, he had said that he would tell the truth so that the culprits would be punished … From reliable a source we came to know that he was threatened with death.”  On June 30, three men carrying pistols – Sanjeeb Pradhan, Bikram Pradhan and Pratap Pradhan – threatened witnesses in the Gondaguda area of the Chenchedi Gram Panchayat administrative area, under the jurisdiction of the Sarangarh police station in Kandhamal, Paricha said.

The three men have been issuing death threats to witnesses through the area villages, he said.

“I know them [the three gunmen] personally,” Paricha said. “They were living hand-to-mouth until recently, and now they are riding a motor vehicle and threatening the survivors.”

Chief warns Christians to worship only local spirits or lose homes.

By Sarah Page

Compass Direct News Mon, Jul. 20 2009 02:20 PM EDT

Following the confiscation of livestock from Christian families earlier this month, officials in a village in Laos on Saturday (July 11) called a special meeting for all residents and announced that they had “banned the Christian faith in our village.”

The chief of Katin village, along with village security, social and religious affairs officials, warned all 53 Christian residents that they should revert to worshiping local spirits in accordance with Lao tradition or risk losing all village rights and privileges – including their livestock and homes, according to advocacy group Human Rights Watch for Lao Religious Freedom (HRWLRF).

The Katin village leader also declared that spirit worship was the only acceptable form of worship in the community, HRWLRF reported. Katin village is in Ta Oih district, Saravan Province.

The previous Sunday (July 5), officials and residents confiscated one pig each from nine Christian families and slaughtered the animals in an effort to force them to renounce their faith. Officials said the seizure of the pigs – each worth the equivalent of six weeks’ salary for an average laborer in the area – was punishment for ignoring the order to abandon Christianity. (See www.compassdirect.org, “Officials Seize, Slaughter Christians’ Livestock,” July 10.) Read the rest of this entry »
