Biblical Shunning or Apostate Church?

What is the shunning process according to the Bible? I have believed since 2015 that failure by the leadership of local churches to correct errors within the body leads to a progression to apathy generally and individually. This apathy often will then grossly morph into general and individual apostasy. We see that in large churches and movements like the Methodists and Salvation Army that started so well to end in miserable apostate conditions.

What if we come before the Lord, and people we have served, taught, prayed for, discipled, loved, and had fellowship with are castaway by Jesus Christ on that final day? What if the souls that we were given responsibility over, are turned over to eternal torment in God’s justice called hell? What if we feared what men thought of us, more than we feared what God taught us by the Holy Spirit? The fear of man is a snare, but the fear of God is wisdom. Prov 29:25

Luke 12:4-5 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

STEP ONE: DEALING WITH THE OFFENDER/S AND OFFENSES AMONGST US
Matt 18:15-17
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
a. alone
b. with a witness in this second step it is important to not reveal any of the problems of the situation to the second or third witnesses that they may judge the situation between the parties without bias or partiality. The person that seeks the witness to reveal sins, may in fact be revealed as a false accuser.
c. before the church (some teach this means elders/pastors only, I believe this to be a serious error)

STEP TWO: ACTIONS OF THE LEADERSHIP AND THE MEMBERS OF THE LOCAL BODY
a. to teach every member of the church, youngest to oldest this Matt 18 process so that sinful; behaviors, doctrines(ideas) are removed from the fellowship of the saints over the course of time. This will eliminate the tendency of some members to gossip, slander, and backbite as the exposure, correction and solving of problems amongst ourselves helps to purify the local body.
b. to monitor these practices to ensure they are in order and above all to love one another.
c. to periodically check on the divisive brother to see if he’s changed his mind and behaviors which would lead them to be welcomed back into the body after he’s made his apologies/restitutions then he would be restored.

Titus 3:9-11
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 10 A man that is an heretick (some translations divisive) after the first and second admonition reject; 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

This passage begs the question, “Is it divisive to then address bad doctrines or behaviors within the members that may lead to divisions? No, because the truth as taught by the Holy Ghost from the Holy Bible is in authority amongst all of us. For example, Hell and it’s real existence by the teachings of Jesus multiple times in the NT would never be called foolish strivings. In fact, doctrines are salvational not only for ourselves but those that hear us.

1 Tim 4:16
16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

I suppose the doctrine the Apostle Paul is speaking of is generally the letter he wrote. We could at least call it the Gospel. IF that is the case then the warning of God’s justice and hell are an important part of that presentation.

HOW DO WE EXECUTE THIS DIFFICULT PROCESS?

Galatians 6:1 – Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

2 Thessalonians 3:14-15 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

Ezekiel 33:8-9 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

2 Tim 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

STEP THREE: PUTTING THE SINNER OUT OF FELLOWSHIP.
Once sin among a member is discovered and processed biblically according to Matt 18, what’s next? The Bible is clear to put out or shun that person from the fellowship. I am not saying that we can not keep a relationship with them IF they are willing. But, that relationship is understood as a saint and an errant brother who needs to repent.

1 Cor 5:9-13
I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, IF ANY MAN IS CALLED A BROTHER (emphasis mine) be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

James 5:19-20
Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

1 Cor 5:4-8
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together (assembling of the saints), and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

BENEFITS TO FOLLOWING GOD’S INSTRUCTION ON DEALING WITH SINNERS IN THE LOCAL CHURCH
In spiritually rejecting the willful sinner in your midst, you are purging the leaven/sin from within the local body. This is painful, but what are the affects on the individual and the body of Christ as a whole?

1. it may bring forth good fruit IF the transgressor repents and returns to the Lord Jesus and good doctrine/behaviors.

2. The biblical judicial exercise within the local church when exercised properly will cause the body to fear God. It will also cause the saints to obey Jesus’ commandments. Holiness unto the Lord!

3. Those that are lukewarm will either repent properly and be converted or they will depart themselves being pruned by the Holy Ghost. Better this than for Jesus to say depart from Me, ye cursed…

John 15:5-6
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

Rev 3: 16
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Matt 25:41
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

4. Lastly, for those that are unbelievers amongst us, it will instill the Fear of God which is the beginning of wisdom leading unto salvation. However, it may cause them to depart as well thus cleansing the local church. Or they may depart for a season, returning when the Lord has convinced them to repent by the instruction of the Holy Ghost and those seeds we’ve planted and watered amongst them. I won’t list the five verses these ideas in this paragraph are based upon. Do you know where they are dear reader?

I would sadly estimate that nearly all visible churches in America fail to implement proper judicial and biblical corrections for it’s members. It is the responsibility, therefore greater judgment by God, of the elders, pastors, teachers, and deacons to administrate the local assembly of believers. What are some of the reasons for this terrible failure? a. Our culture and people are offended at any correction, even if it’s from the Bible. b. Our nation has fallen for the false idea that truth is relative, therefore what is good for this person may be okay for them even if the Bible condemns it. c. The church leaders refuse to teach that we are to live holy and obey Jesus and the Gospel. d. A false system of evangelism of ‘invite the sinner’ into the church or ask Jesus into your heart. e. A false idea that we are not to ‘judge’ which is disproven by many verses in the Bible. 1 Cor 6:2-5 f. A false idea that Christians sin in thought, word, and deed daily.

I believe that many who are believing this lie propagated by Augustine, Calvin, and the ‘churches’ through the ages have not sought holiness in Christ, thought, word, and deed daily. I believe the confusion is that people consider temptations to be sin. We are all tempted in many things daily, our afflictions are great, but we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Phil 4:13, 1 Cor 10:13
Jesus was tempted in all points, yet without sin. Heb 4:15 He is our example, and whom we should model our thinking, and behaviors upon. 1 John 2:3-6 John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Ghost from the womb of his mother Elizabeth. See my blog post Doctrines of Temptations for more of God’s Word on this vital subject.

Prov 17:15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.



This model of evangelism in most churches is in direct contradiction to what we see in the book of Acts the blueprint for the church. All of the saints should have times of prayer individually and corporately, fasting, seeking the Holy Ghost, preparing, and going out into the world to preach or witness the Gospel to connect with our communities. We should: 1. bring them in if they are already born again and not attending fellowship (the spirits must be tested) 2. bring them in, if they are sincerely humble and seeking the truth of Jesus in a deeper way. (should go to immediate personal counsel with the leadership) 3. if they are choosing to hear another day then ask for a personal follow up over coffee. 4. If they mock and scorn then leave them to their wiles, tell them to repent or they will perish. Then pray that God would soften their hearts in the future. Thoughts of what happened with the Apostle Paul on Mars Hill come to mind in these scenarios.

Does the Speed of the Sun Change?

by

The Bible commands us to test all things. I was challenged by my good friend Adam Bishop to explain how on a Flat Earth Cosmology the sun and moon would stay the same speed as they approached the outer latitudes when progressing to winter solstice due to the extended distances they would have to travel. He asserted that we know they stay the same speed, it’s observable and measurable. Well, I was certainly challenged and sent me back to the cosmology drawing board so to speak. I was a bit discouraged. I have pondered and studied many things on cosmology for over three years, I never heard of nor considered this argument/challenge to the flat earth accepted projection. I picked myself up and began to research it out. I think you will be as surprised as I was delighted to find good reasonable evidence and arguments to uphold this cosmology.

Though this video does not deal with the seasonal changes of the sun’s speed, it highlights the daily changes in speed measured every 10 minutes and mathematically determined that the sun’s speed at apparent noon or zenith is over twice the speed than at at sunrise or sunset. This proves without a doubt the sun is not 93 million miles away as the Copernican/Kepler models falsely assert.

Back to the seasonal speeds that must change in order for the AzEq projection of the shape of the earth to be true.

The analemma is a term in astronomy used to describe the plot of the different positions of the Sun or the moon on the sky recorded at the same time of day and from the same location, each day through the calendar year or month. You can see a solar example in the picture above. The sun travels through it’s analemma annually bouncing between the Tropic of Cancer through the Equator, then on to the Tropic of Capricorn as it travels to our winter solstice. Then it returns on it’s circuit to our summer solstice. Remarkably, the moon moves through this circuit monthly, This then makes perfect sense when you look at what God hath said in Psalms 19.

Psa 19:1-6 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, 5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

Okay, using the analemma of the sun as a litmus test for varying speeds of the sun on the flat, motionless, earth we find that helio-astronomy states that the sun moves faster in the winter due the to supposed ‘fact’ the earth is in ellipse orbit. Rejecting that idea as the premise, we now find this phenomenon of winter acceleration of sun & moon addresses the AzEqDist model southerly latitude speed argument very nicely.

This analemma photo is a composite of 365 images of the Sun, made every day at 3 p.m. in Colorado. The shape, resembling the figure 8, comes from This analemma photo is a composite of 365 images of the Sun, made every day at 3 p.m. in Colorado. The shape, resembling the figure 8, comes from the presupposed ‘fact’, that Earth’s supposed orbit is an ellipse, and therefore Earth’s speed is not constant. Close to the Sun (in winter) it moves faster. These are simply presuppositions to the Heliocentric view of Kepler and Copernicus. It is amazing how any number of ideas can ‘explain’ these movements of the heavenly bodies. Why not just believe the Bible!

Psalm 104:5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

From the FE Azimuthal Equidistant projection which is a standard that most of the FE community has accepted as true, the question that Adam asked above was a very pointed and challenging one. We must show simply how our understandings work out in reality in light of his question. In the photo below you will notice how the longitudinal lines diverge from each other as the lines move away from the pole toward the edge of the chart.

image

longitude lines [from the pole] diverge as they progress to the edge. For sun to travel 24 hours in this locality they must speed up to account for extra distance.

As a community, we must address why and how the sun/moon will race more quickly as it progresses to winter solstice and then slows to our summer solstice. In my estimation the heavenly bodies consist and move by the power of God, that is my how explanation of God throttling up and down His creation. The why remains mysterious besides the obvious need for it to do so that we can have the circuits of the sun to make sense in reality.

The why remains mysterious besides the obvious need for it to do so that we can have the circuits of the sun to make sense in reality.

Col 1:15-17 [Jesus Christ] Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. [set together, exhibit]

These ideas also tend to beg questions about time and how is it determined. We know that at the equator, the sun travels at 1000 nautical mph over 15° of longitude. If FE is your premise, then sun must slow in the N. latitudes for the summer solstice to about
777 nmph[nautical miles per hour] over 15° of longitude which in reality causes more questions, what gives?

LONGITUDINAL CONVERGENCE & DIVERGENCE FROM THE EQUATOR
On a spherical reference surface of the earth such as a globe, lines of longitude are not parallel (as opposed to lines of latitude), rather they converge toward the poles. The ground distance of a degree of longitude is at its greatest about 60 nm at the equator and decreases to 0 at the poles. At 40° latitude, one degree of longitude is about 46.l nm , and at 60° latitude, it spans a distance of around 30.1 nm. The longitudinal convergence at the Tropic of Cancer 23.5°N is 51.8 nm. Using that number we can determine that 51.8 nm X 15° longitude will give us the hourly transit rate of the sun at northerly summer solstice = 777 nmph.
On a flat Azimuthal Equidistant projection, the lines of longitude converge to the pole from the equator, [same as sphere] and diverge [grow apart], from the equator to the edge. Basically, at each Tropic line we will add or subtract 8.2 nm to the longitude convergence/divergence respectively. So the calculation for the Tropic of Capricorn is as follows. The longitudinal divergence at the Tropic of Capricorn 23.5°S is 68.2 nm. Using that number we can determine that 68.2 nm X 15° longitude will give us the hourly transit rate of the sun at winter solstice = 1023 nmph. Circumference of the Tropic of Cancer based on the above calculations are 18,648 nm, the Tropic of Capricorn is 24,552 nm.

So, for the FE Azimuthal Equidistant projection to be valid the sun’s transit at the Tropic of Capricorn needs to reflect the extensive distance that is added by a flat earth cosmology. The difference we calculated based on the previous para is 24,552 – 18,648 nm = 5904 nm. This means that the speed of the sun’s transit in a 24 hours period will have to increase in reality to match the additional distance that it has to travel as it attains winter solstice. I believe that is why we get extensive summer daylight in the summer and very shortened in the winter according to our ‘northerly’ perspective. Likewise, though for different reasons those that live in the outer latitudes have extensive daylight in their ‘summer’ yet it is our winter. Keep in mind according to the FE viewpoint the sun is localized and diminishes out of sight by distance over the plane of the earth’s face.

POINTS TO PROVE OR CHALLENGE
1. a cartographer can examine the AzEqD projection, compare countries like NZ, and Aus with known surveyed breadth measurements to show the longitudinal divergence is creating a distortion with reality or reflects reality.

Globe model nomenclature

2. Actual time frames of sun transits both inner and outer latitudes during solstices at the Tropics lines respectively ignoring the bias’ of summer/daylight savings time.

3. Some FE models suggest the sun/moon are changing elevations as they transit to the southern hemisphere. This elevation differences should be proven with geometry and theodolite measurements of same at each Tropic line at appropriate solstices.

QUESTION AND ANSWER SECTIONS there are from FB friends thanks for your testing of the spirits and ideas in this blog, God bless you.

Mark Opiola Q?
Great article! One thing I would like to add which I didn’t see covered in the article is the sun’s elevation. If the sun speeds up yet provides am equal length of sunlight to the southern region it would seem that while the sun speeds up it also rises in elevation. What are your thoughts?

John McGlone A:
I think that the elevation of the sun must be higher in the southern hemisphere which would be the reason of their extended sunlight hours during their ‘summer’. [Dec 22 the day is 14H 34M] The sun would spiral down getting closer to the earth in the Northerlies and slow down during their winter our summer….the model I have seen that explains this spiraling gets it backwards. The sun must be farther away in the southerlies in order to give more daylight to explain their extended days. Does this makes sense?.

Mark Opiola:
That makes complete sense and what I’ve been thinking too. Have you seen the video of the person using a glass paperweight over a flat earth map and shining the flashlight? That’s another compelling model. The atmosphere then could direct the light either north or south. Just a thought. There’s still so much we don’t know. Have you heard about Croww777 lunar wave phenomenon? It is interesting. He thinks it happens at a certain time on the equinoxes. He also discovered that the equinoxes don’t match up exactly to the calendar dates. The last equinox was March 20, but the actual equinox, equal day and night, was more like March 17.

Frank Zieglar Q:
Your article is confusing – to me at least. You state that the sun goes from the Tropic of Cancer to the Equatorial back to the Tropic of Cancer. What about the Tropic of Capricorn?

You also state that your friend challenged you on the issue of the sun stays the same speed and that it’s been proven, but you then later state that the heliocentric model the sun is faster in winter because the earth is closer to the sun.

So is the sun staying the same speed or is it faster in one season? Your article states both.

In the comments here you state that you believe the sun is closer to the earth in one season and higher in another season but I’m confused about which you think is which. Doesn’t the analemma prove that the sun is higher when it’s around the north and the Tropic of Cancer? The analemma also shows a small circuit during this time period as well. That’s how the analemma looks to me – High with small circuit in July.

The circuit of the sun above the FE to my understanding is this…

During the northern summer around the Tropic of Cancer the sun is moving at its slowest speed, it greatest height, and it’s smallest circuit. This accounts for long hot summer days in the north during this time of year. The sun is moving slow causing longer daylight hours and lots of heat. If the sun was at its lowest point then it would not be livable conditions. The sun being at its highest point makes it bearable and makes more sense when considering the shape of a dome structure. The center is higher. When the sun reaches its northern most point this is called the summer solstice – usually around June 21 I think. From this point it starts moving southward and starts heading towards the fall season.

As the sun crosses over the equator this is called the Equinox. Usually around September 21. There is a phenomena where everyone can look due east and due west to see the sunrise and sunset. It’s a trick of perspective in my opinion.

The sun continues its path southward moving us into the northern winter. When the sun reaches the Tropic of Capricorn then it’s moving at its fastest speed, lowest height, and largest circuit. The fast movement makes for short daylight hours in the north and less heat for the earth. When it reaches it southernmost point at the Tropic of Capricorn, called the winter solstice, usually around December 21. It then starts moving back towards the north, moving us towards the northern spring.

It crosses the equator again with another Equinox around March 21. Continuing until it reaches its northernmost point around the Tropic of Cancer and starts the cycle again.

The sun MUST move faster is the south as it has to cover a larger area within the same 24hour period. It’s like the teeth on a bicycle gear. When the gear makes one revolution the outer teeth actual move at a greater speed than the inner teeth do. Even though they both make the same exact one revolution.

John McGlone A:
Hey Frank sorry for the confusion yes it should be Tropic of Capricorn not cancer in the article I will fix that as soon as I’m able to get to it on my PC. You make a good point about the Dome constraints meeting the spiral must be higher in the northern latitudes because of the shape of the Dome but that’s presuming that the Dome is x amount High and the sun is not significantly lower in that Dome than we think. I think you missed the point that I was trying to explain with my spiral idea being higher in the southern latitudes. I agree that the Sun must move faster in the southern latitudes because of the distance it has to cover on the Fe model. But that doesn’t address the extended days in the southern latitudes that they experience just like we do in the northern latitudes During the summer. So if you could help me out and explain what your idea of what the sun is doing that causes the extended daylight in the southern latitudes while the sun is traveling faster. You think that the local Sun being closer makes for a longer day? I would think it makes for a shorter day because the footprint of the solar rays are smaller. If the elevation of the sun is higher in the southern latitudes then the footprint of the sun is much larger explaining the longer daylight even though the sun is traveling more quickly through the longitudes. Again thanks for pointing out the confusion God bless you

Frank Zieglar

I have never heard about the south having long daylight hours during their summers, but it would have to be because of the dome itself.

I understand what you’re saying that if the height was higher around the Tropic of Capricorn then it could shed more light over a greater area and cause longer day hours. I don’t think this is correct because of a dome shape as I stated before, but also since the sun moves faster then the greater height would also cause less heat. I think less heat is easily explained by the fast speed alone. Also with the analemma it also looks lower with larger circuit as I said.

I’m sure you’ve seen the recent video with the penlight shining into the little dome causing the light to shine around the edges of the dome which would cause the longer daylight hours. This is what I believe is happening. I find it harder and harder to believe that our sun is even physical, but instead a projection/portal/PowerPoint (whatever word you want) from outside the dome by the power of God.

Coming from a biblical perspective there is also another issue. I believe that daylight and sunlight are two different things. God created daylight on the first day. He created the sun and sunlight on the fourth day.

When the sun is not visible like at sunrise, sunset, and weather conditions – you can still see because there is daylight. When the sun is visible you have both sunlight and daylight together. I can see inside my house during the day, but if I turn on a light then it’s brighter. Same concept. I can see in the daylight but when the sun is out then it’s brighter. Like today it was dark and storming but I could still see in the daylight. Then the sun came out and it was brighter.

The sunlight is dictated by the sun whereas the daylight is dictated by God. It may be that the day light does not conform to a circle shape like sunlight should or like a light shining from a flashlight.


Frank Ziegler
The analemma could be opposite though and fit into the way that you’re thinking. In June and July when the looks like the highest point – it could simply be nearer like at noon each day. … In December and January when the sun looks low it could simply be due to the distance causing perspective to make it appear lower on the horizon – like a sunset I haven’t researched it but my question would be this – do the analemma look the same from both the north and south? Or does it flip flop?

Matt 24:12-14 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then the end shall come.

This season in our world of delusions of the wicked is growing more and more difficult to bear. The spiritual and natural pressures upon us and between us have never been this great. I could not imagine 18 months ago the things that have transpired to bring down this house of cards we call America. We are under the judgment of God and the worse is yet to come.


I have inserted a pdf document example of a religious exemption letter that you can modify for yourselves. Let us consider some things for which we are responsible for as a people, nation, and the church.

1. Abortion on demand three to four thousand babies daily are murdered by their own parents in the name of sexual liberty, convenience, birth control, health care, and personal choice.

2. Pride runs deep in the fabric of America and homosexual pride parades march open sexual perversions of all sorts, ruining lives, health, and indoctrinating the youth to their own demises through every major city and many small towns as well.

This is sick, perverted, tran-species sadomasochism being displayed before the youth publicly. Are there any limits to the perversions that mankind will heap upon themselves and others? Are children raping angels outside your worldview? Check the Bible for details and how God firebombed Sodom and Gomorrah for such gross behaviors.
Washington, D.C. June 26, 2015 the SCOTUS ruled in Obergefell vs. Rogers in favor of homosexuals and granted them equal civil rights for abominable behaviors.

3. Lukewarm Laodecian church that has no interest in holiness, prayer, fasting, or fishing for men. Since judgment begins in the house of the Lord it would be greatest for us.

4. Our government at every branch is so full of corruption we have no hope for redress or recourse. The communism manifesto has been fully manifested in America from almost a hundred years ago. To the letter almost every part has been fulfilled in our generations. See this excellent .pdf from 1963 when 45 elements of the Communist Agenda were outlined in congress by unanimous consent! This excerpt was from the book, “The Naked Communist” by Cleon Skousen. Just this small part of the book is like looking at prophecy for America fulfilled in a little more than 60 years.

Communist Manifesto Outlined in Congress in 1963


As a professing ‘Christian’ nation, we deserve the Judgment of Jesus! We have propagated perversions beyond imagination. Now the Chinese Communist Party is and has been waging biowarfare, propaganda, and other demoralizing and detrimental activities against our nation and others for at least 20 years maybe more. Some within our ranks have even been so brazen to help them technically and financially. God will judge every; king, president, judge, police chief, mayor, governor, corporate leaders and management, liar, thief, extortioner, murderer, torturer, atheist, etc that has suppressed the Gospel of Jesus and stolen His glory in this world along with their father the devil. This thought should make them tremble but alas they are gods in their own minds and are blind to their own craftiness.



Psalm 2:1-12
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. 6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. 10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Mask Wearing is Dangerous to Your Health!

Masks are dangerous in many ways but to brief a few of the important reasons why we should stand against this wicked social control are:

1. Masks trap bacteria and viruses against your face causing rebreathing of the same bioflora increasing your likelihood of getting sick from respiratory infections.
2. Masks fail to filter viruses in either direction which are measured in nanometers verses the pores of the masks which are measured in micrometers. That is 1000% difference in size! So, just exhausting your breath through the mask spreads any viruses you may have. Inhaling through the mask offers no actual protections from viruses in the environment or from others.
3. Masks greatly hinder pulmonary respiration. That is the intake of oxygen and exhaust of CO2. This creates two very serious disorders in the body; a. hypoxia oxygen deprivation in the body. b. hypercapnia poisoning of the body with elevated levels CO2 concentrations in the body.

Ironically, the symptoms created by wearing the mask are almost perfectly parallel to the symptoms of Covid19, isn’t that special?

Cosmology Clues

by

I wanted to put together some videos/blogs of good resources regarding biblical cosmology. About six months ago Google/Youtube/FB began a campaign to suppress ‘hoax’ or ‘conspiracy’ information with an algorithm which completely eliminates access to these resources for people to think for themselves. When searching for 9/11, Kennedy assassination, chemtrails, moon landings, Nasa lies, flat earth, etc the only information which is now available is that which disproves the supposed hoaxes and conspiracies. Disinformation on the grandest scale the world has ever seen! UPDATE Aug 14, 2021 So many resources are regularly deleted from the internet I can’t keep this list up to speed without holes appearing regularly. Thankfully, many people are very persistent when they believe a truth.

This is the latest excellent flat earth movie which exposes many of the issues I listed above. CAUTION: Blasphemy of Jesus’ Name once and swearing regularly throughout. Because someone believes and promotes Biblical Cosmology does NOT mean they are Christian. Eric Dubay who once believed in Christ has become a Buddhist. He is a leading proponent in the FE movement.

I finally found Brian Mullin’s videos again! Brian is a civil engineer well versed in physics who created a YT channel called, “Balls Out Physics”. It was his video using the earth curvature calculator matrix he had created which was the final straw which broke the camel’s back on cosmology for me. I have embedded his reloaded playlist here for everyone’s research.


The Devil Raises an #ANTIFA Army

by

July 2, 2019

July 4, 2016

As we are about to celebrate Independence Day, I am reminded of the many forces that are seeking the annihilation of our way of life in America from ANTIFA, illegal immigration, Planned Parenthood, drug cartels, corrupt politicians, the LGBTQP agendas, etc. In my photo above my friend and I are holding up the U.S. flag upside down in accordance with the flag law indicating severe distress for our countrymen. We held this alongside a picture of one of our youngest and most innocent citizens having been murdered through legal infanticide called abortion.

I have wrestled for years with the ideas of self defense vs being harmless as doves when it comes to preaching the Gospel on the streets of America. The civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King, Jr. in the early 60’s epitomized one very important characteristic that, I believe, will give us the victory in today’s crisis. They were passively resistant to the KKK racist, the corrupt government officials, etc. Change in racial hatred in America came through all of us watching black folks young and old alike being beaten, bitten by police dogs, firehosed, etc on our televisions.

Trump Inauguration

How did we get here? Sin, sin, sin has brought the Judgment of God upon our nation. I have preached for only 15 years and my conclusion is that as God raises an army of laborers, the devil has raised an army of his own soldiers as well to respond to the Word of God going forth and power in the Holy Spirit, Hallelujah!

I think we have definitely come to a point in our culture war where it will break out in actual carnal warfare by liberal and conservative forces like; ANTIFA, BLAM, PROUD BOYS, PEDIGO, etc. if Christians remain oblivious to what is tearing at the fabric or our society and families. This ignorance of what is happening right outside our doors is alarming! As we continue to refuse to engage the sin and the sinners all around us it will lead to sinners barging into public meetings, churches, and ultimately our very own homes to physically take what the devils have already spiritually taken in most of us.

Ironically, a few years after establishing the civil rights movement by the law in the early 60’s our country then turned around and established the legal genocide of the most vulnerable of our citizens, that is unborn babies, in the early 70’s with Roe vs. Wade.

As alarmingly is watching Christians respond to these physical, religious, and political threats with brawling, cursing, mace, and other carnal tactics and weaponry. Jesus is the Lamb of God, who then sent His disciples out as sheep among the wolves. Time has not changed this commission for believers to go out. What did we expect would happen to us by lifting up the Name of Jesus Christ and publicly preaching? Of course, we would be despised, cursed, , spit upon, doxxed, stalked, beaten, and even killed. There is no other course for Christians but to abide by the time tested and Biblical mandates to do harm to no man.

Here in the following video are Christians at a PRIDE event in Hamilton, ON, CA. It sure seems they came for a carnal fight the way some of them have dressed in battle gear. Keep in mind it is very difficult to see the instigators in this situation. It looks like mostly they are trying to defend their rights to assemble, speech, property, and the press while the police stand around and allow this to escalate.

Here is another video of the same group which is basically being run all over Toronto fleeing for their lives because ANTIFA/homosexuals are tracking and stalking them all over the city using social medias. This is quite an astonishing and effective weapon/tactic the children of the devil have developed.

This battle that ANTIFA wages by the suppression of our freedoms will never be won by Christians responding with apathy or carnal warfare. In the video below apparently, the two older men who were attacked by these left wing thugs did nothing but try and help a homosexual before they were viciously beaten.

In summary, a few conclusions: 1. We should seek to lay down our lives for Christ, the Gospel, and our fellow man versus seeking carnal warfare that will leave people maimed and murdered on both sides. 2. Our strategy should be to preach the Gospel as we see demonstrated in the Word of God. Use His Word, His tactics, and His will as you go out into a world that hates God and His servants. 3. We should seek to have our government classify ANTIFA for what they are, a domestic terrorists group that is a bully arm of the Democratic political machine, and the LGBTQP movement. 4. If you have any interactions with this dangerous group ensure you are documenting with video/audio then have them criminally charged, then follow up civil lawsuits to ensure their community figures out this will cost the individual.

Deliverance & Healing Empowered

Intro by Br. John McGlone

I have seen some victories in these areas of my ministry. I want to seek the Lord in prayer and fasting to energize by faith these works which will follow. This excellent teaching by Br. Mark Carrier is right on and very encouraging. I look forward to practicing these things.

Mark 16:17-20 KJV

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.


Casting Pearls Before the Gay Swine?

by
Nashville Pride 2015

by John McGlone June 4, 2019

We are in full swing into another year filled with God hating, homosexuality promoting, PRIDE parades and festivals which are kicked off in the month of June.

I find a continuing idea among Christians to be especially grieving. Almost every social media thread regarding those preachers that are going out into these filthy events will contain comments along the lines of why bother? They will include the ideas these homosexuals are reprobates, and you are simply casting your pearls before swine. So, I want to answer these foolish ideas with some of my observations of what I have experienced in going there and how the Bible relates to these outreaches.

Firstly, these events are filled with children, youth, and young adults many who have no idea that these things they are being taught are sinful and condemnatory. Many are being sexually abused by the ‘parents’ before, during, and after these public displays of lewdness and sexual predation. Don’t you care to try and reach them before they become ‘reprobates’ if that idea homosexuals you are believing and communicating is true?

Secondly, reprobation is a process unto death. Either God has given you over to your sin before you die, or you are in the process of resisting the Holy Spirit unto condemnation until your death. A question I have for you is can a Christian who is not living the LGBTQP life be reprobated? Let’s see what the Bible says.

2 Cor 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Wait a minute! A Christian believer if he fails to examine himself, according to the Bible, may fail and become reprobate? That’s what God’s Word says folks!

If we are careful how we examine Rom 1 we will realize that starting in vs 18 that God is angry with all sin, all ungodliness, and wretched depravity of mankind. Who hold Jesus, who is the Truth, as not being correct or righteous. This is the start of every creature who grows into these monsters of iniquity, called ‘sinners’. This is the start of reprobation. God has given all mankind a period of probation on this earth to seek after Him. many things and evidences of Himself that He may be found. He is not far from any one of us. Acts 17:26-28. It is right in front of them if they would simply look to Him and them; creation, history, the Bible, faithful Christian witnesses, conscience, the moral law, the light of men, etc. I consider at a minimum that all believers are in a period of probation. Meaning that God the Judge has forgiven us based on what Jesus did at the cross. Now, to willingly trample in that mercy will bring condemnation and possible reprobation for even the believer, if they will not repent!

Rom 1:18-25 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Thirdly, the whole idea of not casting your pearls before swine is communicated by Christians who usually don’t share their faith verbally, and publicly with any others. I think this is a serious error in Christendom. If this idea were true we shouldn’t share our faith with any sinner swine at all. Please read this carefully, the swine are the proud in heart, the good ground is the humble heart. So we don’t share the pearl or good news of our faith with the prideful swine sinner. But, if the swine humbles themselves under the preaching or the witness, then we give them the grace of God. Well, this idea does not just apply to the homosexual community but the human community who is living in rebellion to God. God is impartial. He hates partiality. I often will say when preaching to this generation of homosexuals and approvers that God is an equal opportunity condemner.

James 4:6 “But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” 

But, wait a minute preacher this is a PRIDE event! Sure it is, but that does not mean that God’s Word can not crush that pride in an individual or perhaps a whole crowd of sinful people. God’s Word is like a hammer, and it does not return void. So, though like Lot I am vexed by neo Sodom & Gomorrah called America. But Lord willing, I want to stay the course and preach as Noah did until God calls me home via the ark of His Son Jesus Christ.

This is an unkind preacher dealing with a loving homosexual.
Can you tell which one is which?

Master, What Will be the Sign of Your Coming? Vol 2

Acts 1:11
Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is
taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

End Times Considered
by John McGlone

Acts 1:11
Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is
taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

The passage from Acts 1 of Jesus’ Ascension gives us a beautiful clue about Jesus’ return at the end of the age. He will come down the same way He went up to return to the Father in heaven.

Another clue about Jesus’ return is given in the remarkable passage in 2 Thess 1:7-10, which must happen after the seventh trumpet of God sounds.

2 Thess 1:7-10 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

Mark 13:3-37
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. 20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. 21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.34 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Many things are outlined in these passages from Mark regarding the return of Christ and signs that we will know of Jesus’ coming.

Jesus warns believers not to be deceived, because many will claim to be He, fooling many but it can not be Him, why? Because 2 Thess 1 which I outlined above gives us HOW Jesus will come back from heaven just as He went up in Acts 1. That return will be dramatic with the whole of the heavenly host with Him, riding on white horses as Rev explains. It will be fiery and destructive to all who are not converted before His return.  

Rev 19:11-16 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.

As we see many ideas from Scripture begin to formulate how we can can understand what is to come if we diligently seek the knowledge from God’s Word. This passage from Rev 19 begs the question of where believers are when this happens. I think it is clear, at that time in the future, we are caught up in the air with Him and the armies descending upon the earth.

1 Thess 4:13-18 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

What is the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

by

by John McGlone Mar 15, 2019

Saints, this is such an important question to ensure we get right for the salvation of our souls and those that hear us! We should be regularly examining ourselves, testing the spirits to see if what we have or are believing according the instruction of the Holy Ghost by the Holy Writ.

1 Tim 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

101418 What is the Gospel Vol 1

102118 What is the Gospel Vol 2

102818 What is the Gospel Vol 3

I welcome you to get a pad of paper and pen out that you would note all the Scriptures we cover in these three days of fellowship, over three hours of instruction. Taste and see that the Lord is good! Personally, I think this is some great steak from God’s Word on how we should understand what the Gospel is that we are to preach and share. God bless you as you listen. Please comment on the blog to leave your thoughts, feedback or correction to the teachings. If you are edified in the faith of Christ please share to social medias, with friends, family and enemies.


Master, What Will be the Sign of Your Coming? Vol 1

End Times Considered
by John McGlone

Perhaps Eschatology, the study of the End Times is one of the most controversial, divisive, and polyviewed doctrine in all of Christendom.  There are Pre, Mid, Post Tribulation and PreWrath Rapture views of when the saints of God will be caught up in the air to be with Him forevermore.  There are Pre ,Post Millennial, and Amillennialism  views of when the New Jerusalem will be upon the earth.

Premillennialism, in Christian eschatology, is the belief that Jesus will physically return to the earth (the Second Coming) before the Millennium, a literal thousand-year golden age of peace. The doctrine is called “premillennialism” because it holds that Jesus’ physical return to earth will occur prior to the inauguration of the Millennium.

Amillennialism (Greek: a- “no” + millennialism), in Christian eschatology, involves the rejection of the belief that Jesus will have a literal, thousand-year-long, physical reign on the earth. This rejection contrasts with premillennial and some postmillennial interpretations of chapter 20 of the Book of Revelation

Postmillennialism, in Christian end-times theology (eschatology),  is an interpretation of chapter 20 of the Book of Revelation which sees Christ‘s second coming as occurring after (Latin post-) the “Millennium“, a Golden Age in which Christian ethics prosper.[1] The term subsumes several similar views of the end times, and it stands in contrast to premillennialism and, to a lesser extent, amillennialism (see Summary of Christian eschatological differences).

Preterism is a Christian eschatological view that interprets some (partial preterism) or all (full preterism) prophecies of the Bible as events which have already happened. Much of this view is based upon seeing the prophecies of Revelation as events that happened in the first century AD  at the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70.  They hold annihilationism, that eternal hell is not true.  Also, they believe that Jesus is not actually God.  This is heresy of the oldest and basest sort.

There are many other views and ideas about the end times, but I believe we should just let the Bible interpret the Bible and the Holy Ghost to show us the way to the Kingdom, amen?  I believe the Lord showed me years ago an excellent key to understanding the end times as they unfold is to look for a key question that the disciples and the Jews were constantly asking Jesus, “Tell us, when shall these things be? …. and of the end of the world?”

Matt 23:3-4 “…the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.”

Matt 24:3-14  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8  All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10  And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

So, a first step in end times understanding is to look for the keys in the New Testament Scriptures.  Then we can assemble them all in one place which will begin to give us a clearer picture of what will be seen before the end of the age actually is upon us!  Secondly, we should take a look at any Old Testament prophecy or Scripture that relates to these New Testament passages we just mentioned.  Now we will have many pieces to arrange and put into some type of chronological order.

PUZZLE PIECE #1 THE TWO WITNESSES

Rev 11:1-14
And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. 3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. 5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. 6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. 7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. 11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. 13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.  14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

God’s Two Oil Lamps

Some of My Suppositions
1. The world has never seen these two prophets outside the Temple in Jerusalem. 
2. These two prophets will do Moses & Elijah like miracles and then some! They will hold back water, turn water to blood, and even kill their enemies that are attempting to kill them with fire out of their mouths!
3. They are finally slain by the beast who will rise out of the pit.
4. Their death and resurrection after 3.5 years is a major flag! 
5. The whole world will create a holiday to celebrate their murder. I call it, “Happy We Killed the Prophets Day”. They will give gifts to each other, what lunacy!
6. This will be midway through the tribulation, 3.5 years remain for about the time the Seventh Seal will be broken and the Saints will go to be with Jesus Christ in the air. . 
7. Verse one implies a third temple to be built. The Jews have been preparing this for years.
