In the fast paced world we live in today, Were told that we must "understand"

when it comes to issues like homosexuality, social immorality, and abortion.
Were told that we must be compassionate, But is compassion, becoming a bedfellow to compromise ?

Were told that it's the Law, and that we must obey the law of the land.

And because its the law of the land, that we must accept certain things within

the ranks of Christian universities, hospitals, schools, businesses and even Churches.

But at what Cost, does this understanding come ?

Must we understand the immoral lies of satan ? .. Must we understand sin ?

Must we understand, to the point of compromising the values and morality of Almighty GOD ?

Must we commune with corruption ?

Did GOD ever compromise ?

Would GOD ever compromise ?

Is there one single Biblical example, of GOD ever compromising his WORD ?

The undeniable answer, is a resounding No !

GOD, never once, nor will he ever, Compromise his WORD.

And as Children of GOD, neither can we.

The word Compassion is found 41 times in the KJV or the Bible, and not once,

is it ever connected to compromise.

Compassion is connected to Love, Hope, Healing, and at the very core, is connected to acknowledgement

of ones transgression, through repentance, and returning from the wayward condition of transgressing sin.

Jesus had compassion, yet never once, did his compassion cause him to compromise The Morality of The

WORD, And JESUS, was our example,

1 Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example,

that ye should follow his steps:

Jesus didn't compromise because of compassion, and his children MUST NOT compromise either.

In a world where Christian owned and operated businesses under pressure of the Law of the Land, are

forced to break the LAW of GOD, or face harsh penalties, imprisonment, or both, what will we do, what

choices will we make ?

Will we stand with the WORD of Almighty GOD, although governing bodies of law legally forbid it ?

Will we stand in the promises, strength and truth of Almighty GOD ?

Will we take our stand because we Love GOD, and Love his WORD ?

Will we compromise at the cost of compassion, understanding, and tolerance of Sin.

When Compromise begins personally hitting us in the Pocket, on the Job, under penalty and Legality of

the Law .. Will we give in, and give the devil place ?

Or have we already ?

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with

unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God

hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

**Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean

thing; and I will receive you.

And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.**

The Choice, has always been "Ours to Make" .. So Choose wisely, Choose Biblically, Choose to stand

WITH Christ JESUS, and stand with the unchanging, uncompromising, WORD of Almighty GOD.

With Much Hope and Love,

Pastor Will

At the risk of unintentionally offending, I would like to make a comment, in hopes that it will cause deep 

meditation, edification and thought, rather than rebuke.

The Jewish people, went into the Babylonian Captivity, among the captives we find Daniel, Jeremiah,

Ezekiel and Ezra, just to mention a few, and lay the foundation, for the point of my comment.

The people, found themselves Prisoners, in a foreign land, amongst a people, with very different ways,

that many of them found attractive, exciting, and Fun.

Hence, many Jews, would adopt the habits, customs, traditions and ways of the Babylonians. And their

compliance with their captors, would bring calls of correction from GOD through men such as Jeremiah, 

who would be severely rejected, due to the messages of correction he was sent to deliver.

Messages like the ones found in Jeremiah chapter 7 and chapter 10

Jeremiah 7:18 

The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes 

to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

Jeremiah 10:1-4

1 Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:

2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for 

the heathen are dismayed at them.

3 For the customs of the people are vain: 

for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

Its clear, what Jeremiah was dealing with here, and he was sharply rebuked by the people, for delivering 

these messages, as we see in Jeremiah 20:1-10, where we find Jeremiah a prisoner in the Stocks (JAIL).

The rebuke he faced from the people, was so severe, that Jeremiah simply wanted to Give up, and just 

Quit, but he couldn’t do it, because the WORD of the LORD, was like a Fire within his bones, that he 

simply could not contain. So speak he did, and cost it would, as we have seen in chapter 20.

So what’s my point? .. Simply this:

Today, “we” should not consider ourselves any differently then the people of GOD then, because of Grace. 

The standard that GOD held his children to then, he MUST, in all fairness and equality, Hold his children 

(we, the Christians) to today, anything less, and GOD would not be a fair and just GOD, and we KNOW, 

that GOD is a fair and just GOD.

While we are certainly not under the sacrificial system of the old testament, thanks to the Glorious Gift of 

Christ, and the reconciliation of GOD and Man through the precious Blood of JESUS, we are in fact still 

held to the Biblical standard, and morality contained within the old testament. And one of those standards 

is Not to partake in the hethenistic, paganistic ways of the rebellious world, and worldly ways and practice 

of baalisim.

The Problem, is that many folks don’t even recognize, that they are in fact, partaking in the ways and 

practices of baalisim, through these holidays.

WHY ?

Simply because its just the way of Things, it’s a Tradition, and traditions, are hard to break, especially 

when the majority, is keeping the tradition, and by Not keeping the tradition, or speaking out against the 

tradition, one becomes a minority, and, like Jeremiah, the target of sharp rejection and rebuke.

Its not hard to find out where the traditional holidays come from, a little study, will quickly reveal the 

shocking origins of each.

We should never allow the Gift of Grace, to become the reason we continue in the traditional views and 

practices, that are beyond the shadow of a doubt, clearly associated with baal worship, and the wickedness 

of Babylon, which GOD himself detests.

As followers of Christ, its our Duty, to search the Scriptures and History, so we clearly understand the 

meaning, implication, and application for our own lives today.

I am sure that Jeremiah, and the old prophets heard many, if not all of the same responses then, that many 

of us hear today, as we attempt to expose the paganistic, baalistic, Babylonian ways, that are so deeply 

ingrained in our traditional culture today.

The message, will never change, while GODS word maybe manipulated, and misused to fit the traditional 

molds of modern man, the context of his message, is consistently constant. And that message is a call to 

his people, to come out of the world, it’s a call to a wayward people to reconciliation, and repentance, 

through the acknowledgement of error, and the acceptance of Godly Correction, in our Course and Direction.

The looming questions we must ALL, honestly ask ourselves are: 

1. Am I honestly inline, and moving forward in a Godly direction, that GOD himself has directed and 

prescribed as a Godly direction.

2. Based upon the Biblical texts alone, have I honestly ever known what a Godly direction is, or have I 

allowed someone else to define the meaning of Godly Direction for me.

3. Is it possible, that I have listened to others, and accepted the traditional views, that they themselves 

accepted and generationally passed down, and by doing so, is it possible that I have became trapped in the 

circle of generational tradition its self.

4. As a Christian, Should I desire to know the truth, even if I find that truth to be uncomfortable and at 

odds with my traditional religious views and values.

5. If I find my views and values to be at odds with the Written Word of GOD, must I change those views 

and values.

6. If I should find my religious views, the traditional values and ways of my religion, at odds with the 

word of GOD, is it ok, if I continue to practice the patterns associated with my religion and religious 

traditional values, simply because I do not want to offend others and be ostracized by them.

7. Is there a Viable, Locatable, Biblically Based standard, by which I can base my life, and religious 

practices upon.

8. What will be the final authority upon which I will be Judged.

With all my heart, I hope each of you will carefully consider my words, and receive them in the spirit of 

love and humility, that they were written in.

My Prayer for each of you, is that you would sincerely desire a closer walk with Christ, and put those 

desires into Action, as you search the Scriptures for yourselves, casting all preconceived notions, and ideas 

aside, and personally finding the honest truth, within the Written Word of GOD its self.

With Much Hope and Love,

Will Matherly

Was JESUS really the Messiah ?

Or were the events of his life, all by Chance ?

Below is a Partial list of Scriptures that Jesus Fulfilled, and the odds of

probability, for anyone ever fulfilling them, Lets examine it.

The Birth of Messiah

1. Born of the seed of woman (Genesis 3:15; Galatians 4:4; Matthew 1:20)

2. Born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18, 24, 25)

3. Son of God (Psalm 2:7; Matthew 3:17)

4. Seed of Abraham (Genesis 22:18; Matthew 1:1; Galatians 3:16) Here it is

determined that the Messiah would be a Jewish descendant.

5. Son of Isaac (Genesis 21:12; Luke 3:23,34) Abraham had two sons, Isaac

and Ishmael. Now God eliminates one half of the lineage of Isaac.

6. Son of Jacob (Numbers 24:17; Luke 3:23,34) Isaac had two sons, Jacob and

Esau. Now God eliminates one half of the lineage of Isaac.

7. Tribe of Judah (Genesis 49:10; Luke 3:23,33) Jacob had twelve sons and

each became a tribe of the Hebrew nation. Now God eliminates eleven-twelfths

of the lineage of Jacob.

8. Family line of Jesse (Isaiah 11:1; Luke 3:23,32) Now God narrows it down

even further by picking one family line out of the tribe of Judah.

9. House of David (Jeremiah 23:5; Luke 3:23,31) Jesse had at least eight sons

(I Samuel 16:10,11). Now God eliminates all of Jesse's sons except one, David.

10. Born at Bethlehem (Micah 5:2; Matthew 2:1) Now God eliminates all the cities

in the world except one, Bethlehem.

11. Presented with gifts (Psalm 72:10; Isaiah 60:6; Matthew 2:1,11)

12. Herod kills children (Jeremiah 31:15; Matthew 2:16)

The Nature of Messiah

13. His Pre-Existence (Micah 5:2; Colossians 1:17; John 1:1)

14. He shall be called Lord (Psalm 110:1; Luke 20:41-44)

15. He shall be called Immanuel ("God with us") (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23)

16. Shall be a prophet (Deuteronomy 18:18; Matthew 21:11)

17. Shall be a priest (Psalm 110:4; Hebrews 5:5,6)

18. Shall be a judge (Isaiah 33:22; John 5:30)

19. Shall be a king (Isaiah 33:22; Matthew 27:37)

20. Special anointment of the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 11:2; Matthew 3:16,17)

21. He zeal for God (Psalm 69:9; John 2:15-17)

The Ministry of Messiah

22. Preceded by a messenger (Isaiah 40:3; Matthew 3:1,2)

23. Ministry to begin in Galilee (Isaiah 9:1,2; Matthew 4:12,13,17)

24. Ministry of miracles (Isaiah 35:5, 6a; Matthew 9:35)

25. Teacher of parables (Psalm 78:2; Matthew 13:34)

26. He was to enter the temple (Malachi 3:1; Matthew 21:12)

27. He was to enter Jerusalem on a donkey (Zechariah 9:9; Luke 19:35,36,37a)

28. A "Stone Of Stumbling" to the Jewish nation (Psalm 118:22; I Peter 2:7)

29. "Light" to the Gentiles (Isaiah 60:3; 49:6; Acts 13:47,48a)

Events After Messiah's Burial

30. His resurrection (Psalm 16:10; Acts 2:31)

31. His ascension (Psalm 68:18a; Acts 1:9)

32. Seated at the right hand of God (Psalm 110:1; Hebrews 1:3) 

Prophecies Fulfilled In One Day by Messiah

The following 29 prophecies from the Old Testament, which speak of the

betrayal, trial, death and burial of Jesus, were spoken at various times by many

different voices during the five centuries from 1000-500 BC, and yet all of them

were literally fulfilled in one twenty-four hour period of time in Jesus' life.

33. Betrayed by a friend (Psalm 41:9; Matthew 10:4)

34. Sold for 30 pieces of silver (Zechariah 11:12; Matthew 26:15)

35. Money to be thrown down in God's house (Zechariah 11:13; Matthew 27:5)

36. Price given for potter's filed (Zechariah 11:13b; Matthew 27:7)

************************************************

In the previous four prophecies we find in both prophecy and fulfillment:

1. Betrayed

2. By a friend

3. For 30 pieces of silver (not 29)

4. Silver (not gold)

5. Thrown down (not placed)

6. In God's house

7. Money used to buy potter's field.

************************************************

37. Forsaken by His disciples (Zechariah 13:7; Mark 14:50)

38. Accused by false witnesses (Psalm 35:11; Matthew 26:59-61)

39. Mute before accusers (Isaiah 53:7; Matthew 27:12-19)

40. Wounded and bruised (Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 27:26)

41. Smitten and spit upon (Isaiah 50:6; Micah 5:1; Matthew 26:67)

42. Mocked (Psalm 22:7,8; Matthew 27:31)

43. Fell under the cross (Psalm 109:24; John 19:17; Luke 23:26)

44. Hands and feet pierced (Psalm 22:16; Luke 23:33)

45. Crucified with thieves (Isaiah 53:12; Matthew 27:38)

46. Made intercession for His persecutors (Isaiah 53:12; Luke 23:34)

47. Rejected by his own people (Isaiah 53:3; John 7:5,48)

48. Hated without a cause (Psalm 69:4; John 15:25)

49. Friends stood afar off (Psalm 38:11; Luke 23:49)

50. People shook their heads (Psalm 109:25; Matthew 27:39)

51. Stared upon (Psalm 22:17; Luke 23:35)

52. Garments parted and lots cast (Psalm 22:18; John 19:23,24)

53. Suffered thirst (Pslam 69:21; John 19:28)

54. Gall and vinegar offered Him (Psalm 69:21; Matthew 27:34)

55. His forsaken cry (Psalm 22:1; Matthew 27:46)

56. Committed Himself to God (Psalm 31:5; Luke 23:46)

57. His bones not broken (Psalm 34:20; John 19:33)

58. His heart broken (Psalm 22:14; John 19:34) The blood and water which

came from Jesus' pierced side are evidences that the heart had literally burst.

59. His side pierced (Zechariah 12:10; John 19:34)

60. Darkness over the land (Amos 8:9; Matthew 27:45)

61. Buried in a rich man's tomb (Isaiah 53:9; Matthew 27:57-60)

This, is what Jesus (The Messiah) Fulfilled. As he Stated he must do in

Luke 24:44

“And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you,

while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were

written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.”

In the Chicago Moody Press, 1963 Peter Stoner (Mathematician & Scientist)

determined the probability of one man fulfilling just eight of the prophecies of the

Old Testament for the Messiah to be 1 in 10 to the 17th power.

Let's try to imagine what this means. 

If we took that many silver dollars (100,000,000,000,000,000) and laid them over

the State of Texas, they would cover the state two feet deep. Now mark one of

the silver dollars, stir the whole mass thoroughly, blindfold a person, and tell

him/her that they can travel as far as they want but must pick up one silver dollar

and say that it is the marked one. What chance would they have of picking up

the right one ? 

It would be the exact same odds of anyone fulfilling eight of the Messianic

prophecies by chance alone.

Stoner then goes on to consider the possibility of any one person fulfilling 48 of

the prophecies by chance. Those odds jump to 1 in 10 to the 157th power.

That number would look like this:

1 out of 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,

000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,

000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

As a comparison, here is what 100 Trillion looks like (100,000,000,000,000),

the odds of anyone fulfilling what JESUS fulfilled in his life, are simply beyond calculation,

Yet JESUS fulfilled every one concerning the (Birth, Life, Death & Resurrection) of the Messiah.

Yes, Jesus WAS and IS .. The Messiah

PRAISE GOD !! Now THATS GOOD NEWS !!

With Much Hope and Love,

“The Unassuming”

An unassuming woman sat quietly in her home, 

Remembering the bygone years of yesterday.

The Laughter, The Smiles The Tears, The Joy, The Songs,

The pitter patter of soft babies feet,

That ran to her side, seeking a treat.

Yet one by one, 

her family had gone, 

Her friends had all passed, 

leaving her utterly alone.

Her prayer Rang out, as she softly cried, 

LORD, I am alone, and lonely, “LORD I need”, 

Then suddenly she died. 

Standing before JESUS, she softly said,

Forgive me LORD, but I need to know, 

why the solitude in my latter years. 

As she humbled herself,

and choked back the tears.

The years passed by, 

one, two and three, 

forgive me for wondering,

"if you had forgotten me."

A simple reply the LORD did make, 

as he told of the many, who did forsake.

The LORD hadn't forgotten the woman at all, 

request he had sent, but none answered his call.

Year after Year, summer, winter and fall, 

the LORD had beckoned, and spoken to all.

One by one, they all turned away, 

including the neighbors, on thanksgiving day.

Their prayers were found bitter, 

as they each blessed the food. 

Bitter for the sake of the widow, 

they had failed to include.

May we Remember those who are Alone this year.

May we open the doors of our hearts and Homes.

May we include others in our Joyous Celebrations.

May we all remember, the quiet unassuming few,

That someday my friend, could include even you.

 

With Much Hope and Love,

Pastor Will

Setting the Prophetic Clock

Countless people wonder where are we today on the Prophetic timeline in the Book of Revelation. 

So today, I want to look into that topic.

I believe we are Right at the door of Revelation 18,

And I offer the following evidentiary points, for your consideration.

Notice that Revelation 18:2 points to the fall/failure of Babylon. What we must understand, is that this

passage is not speaking of a “City or Nation, that Literally has the name Babylon, But rather the ideology,

of the Babylonian System, 

ie: Spiritual Babylon, Clarification of this point comes from Revelation 17, verses 5 & 18.

What were dealing with here, a Modern Cultural Ideological System, (Belief, and way of Life) that the

whole world has accepted, and followed, Both Spiritually and Economically. This will become abundantly

clear as we move through the text of Revelation 18.

Verse 11 states that the Merchants of the Earth, will weep and morn over her, because no one is buying

their goods anymore.

What we see here, is clearly, the meltdown and collapse, of a governing kingdom, and world economic

system, or beast (ref: Daniel 7:23)

Verse 17 states that this destruction all happened in one hour, 

Never before in the history of the world, has mankind been in the position, for this scripture to be Literally

fulfilled, Until Now, the world economic system currently in place, makes this unquestionably possible, 

as the Great cargo ships of the world trade system, suddenly Stop.

Verse 19 states (And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that

great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour

is she made desolate)

Consider the images of recent news broadcast, that came out of countries, where the economic trade and

banking system failed, It was total chaos, now consider that on a Global Scale, as the great cargo ships of

the world, grind to a halt.

Verse 21 speaks of a Mighty Angel casting a stone, like a millstone into the Sea.

Looking back to revelation 17:15, we see a definition of  the sea, the angel cast the stone into.

(And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and

multitudes, and nations, and tongues) 

So the sea that the stone is cast into, are the people, and its mentioned that the stone is like a Millstone,

indicating a “Breaking Up” and or grinding apart of the people. 

Again, this is exactly what we see in the images of economically devastated countries, as their economic

systems fail. 

(Riots in the streets, as buildings are burned, cars overturned and burned, in the wake of total chaos)

Verses 22-24 indicates the finality of this time, that leads into the Judgment of mankind. And that, is where 

we are today, On the verge of total chaos, Just before the Return of the LORD, in Revelation 19:11-16

Are You Ready to Meet the KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS  ?

NOW, is the time to make things right with GOD.

Time, is certainly of the essence, The LORDS Return is Clearly at hand.

With Much Hope and Love,

A Holy Adoption, that shadows our own.

Although it commonly is known that Jesus was a biological descendant of David, 

most also assume that He was a biological descendant of Solomon, which is not the case. 

In the genealogy listed by Matthew, it says this:

The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 

And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; 

And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;

And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 

(Matthew 1:1,6,7,16)

So Joseph, Jesus' step-father, was a biological descendant of Solomon. 

But since Jesus was not the biological son of Joseph, then He was not a biological descendant of Solomon,

And inn fact, neither was Mary.

And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, 

which was the son of Heli, Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, 

which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David. 

(Luke 3:23,31)

What many people overlook is that Joseph was the biological son of Jacob (Matthew 1:16), 

who was a biological descendant of Solomon. 

However, Heli (Luke 3:23) was actually the father-in-law of Joseph, and Heli was Mary's father, 

and Heli was a biological descendant of Nathan (Luke 3:31), 

And Nathan, was Solomon's brother (2 Samuel 5:13-14)

Mary had no brothers. Therefore, Mary's husband Joseph, who was Heli's (son-in-law), 

became Heli's legal son to continue Heli's family line.

The point of all of this has GREAT SIGNIFICANCE to us, as Biblical inheritance passes from father to

son, And what was so significant about that, is this: 

For all legal purposes, Jesus was Joseph's son, even if He was not Joseph's biological son, 

he was Josephs Adopted Son, 

and that gave him the Full Biological Rights, and made him a LEGAL HEIR, of Joseph's.

The scepter and throne of David and Solomon, MUST pass to the descendants of Judah, through David and Solomon.

And that is exactly what happened, Through Joseph's Adoption of Jesus.

The Throne was Rightfully Restored.

Thus, Jesus can be recognized as "Solomon's Heir" through his adoption by his step-father Joseph, 

and a Rightful Heir of Solomon, and the Throne.

What I find fascinating about this story is this:

JESUS, was adopted into the Line of Judah and Solomon; Through Joseph, 

Just like "WE" are adopted in, and made FULL HEIRS in the Kingdom of GOD, 

Through Jesus.

Galatians 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Truly, what a Beautiful Picture the LORD'S Life paints for us, as we too, are Restored to our Rightful

Place within the Kingdom of GOD, and FULLNESS of our Inheritance.

But Why Adoption, and WHY, must it all work out this way ?

Remember the Curse against Jechonias (Jeconiah) ?

Jechonias was an evil king in the royal line of David as mentioned in Matthew's genealogy. God was

outraged with him and judged the royal line with a curse: no descendant of Jechonias would sit as king

of Judah (Jeremiah 22:24-30).

On the surface, this would contradict the promise that God made to David that his son, Solomon's seed

would always be on the throne (1Chronicals 22:7-10) 

Seemingly, this would make Jesus ineligible to the throne, as he was the descendant of Jechonias.

But, since Jesus was the “adopted son” of Joseph, the curse did not affect his right to the throne as he was

not of Jechonias' seed. 

This curse also shows that the Messiah could not have a earthly father since the curse would pass onto

him too through the earthly bloodline of Jechonias.

What we Actually see, is the Cutting off of the royal line through (Jechonias) and the Restoration of the

royal line through JESUS. Who is now crowned LORD of LORDS, and KING of KINGS.

Looking to Isaiah, we see the Prophetic words of Isaiah 54:1-17

Verse 1: Indicates a barren/childless Israel, (Absence of a Rightful Royal line, because of Jechonias and

the Curse of Jeremiah 22:24-30)

Verse’s 2-3: Indicates not only a restoration, but also an enlargement, as the Gentile nations are Grafted

into the family of GOD (We see this take place “After the restoration of the Royal Line through Christ Jesus”)

Verse 5: Indicates a former, and later, or, Old and New Covenant (as verse 10 indicates)

Now notice the following points from Verse 6-10, as the Lord explains a short time of Forsaking,

1. A Refused Wife of Youth (Verse 6)

2. A forsaken moment, and promise of Gathering (Verse 7)

3. A hiding of the LORDS face (Verse 8)

4. The Waters of Noah [indicating a cleansing, rebirth/restoration/new day] (Verse 9)

5. The New Everlasting Covenant (Verse 10)

The next 7 verses (11-17), show the Restoration, and Building of the Kingdom, that came through Christ 

Jesus. And the finality of his Rule, as the LORD of LORDS, and KING of KINGS, the LION, of the tribe 

of Judah, Eternally Restored.

It was Jechoniah whose sins caused God to cut his seed off from ever sitting on David's throne,

(Jeremiah 22:24-30)

Jechoniah's royal line of descendants is listed in the genealogy of Matthew 1 to show the legal right of 

Joseph, the foster father of Jesus, to David's throne (Matthew 1:16). 

However, Neither Joseph nor any others of Jechoniah's seed could ever have the spiritual right to the throne. 

That right must be carried through Mary's ancestry, as it was in Luke 3:23-38, and then Restored to Judah

through the Adoption of Christ Jesus by Joseph, and that is exactly what we see happen.

The Beauty of GOD's Restoring plan, is simply Remarkable.

 

JESUS IS, The Rightful LORD of LORDS, and KING of KINGS !!

 

Praise GOD !!

With Much Hope and Love,

Pastor Will

“GODS Harmonious Sequence of Seven”

_________________________________________

The Harmony of GODS Plan, is found in everything, including a Music Scale.

There are 7 notes in a Musical Scale, and 7 Days in creation.

7, is GODS Number of Completion & Fulfillment.

In Music, the 7 note advancing scale, moves us forward, into a new Octave.

There are 7 octaves, that Complete the full music scale.

For example an 88 keys piano has 7 octaves, that Complete the piano scale.

What I find interesting about music and harmony, is this:

Upon JESUS arrival in heaven, in Revelation 5:8-9 they played and sang a New Song.

This new Song was sang, Just before Christ began to open the 7 seals,

that start the completing sequence of the Final Events of History.

7 Seals

7 Trumpets

7 vials

Looking at the other time we see the term New Song in Revelation.

Revelation 14:3, as the 144,000 who were “Redeemed” out of the earth sang it. 

And all this, Just before the first of three Angels delivered their messages to mankind.

1. The Everlasting Gospel. (Matthew 27:50-53) the 7th Seal Finished.

2. Babylon is Fallen. (Revelation 11:15) the 7th Trumpet The Kingdom Finished.

3. Judgment, for worshiping the beast. Revelation 16:17) the 7th vial, The Judgment Finished.

The 7th Vial in Revelation 16:17, completes the sequence of 3 complete Harmonious scales.

With Revelation 17, we again see Three Angels, as the preceding events are explained.

1. Revelation 17:1-18

2. Revelation 18:1- 19:21

3. Revelation 20:1-15

One can’t help but notice the Scale of Harmony, as the events unfold,

and Complete the fulfillment of GODS Harmonious Gospel,

Bringing us to the Completion of a 7000 year period of Time,

and the Restoration of a NEW DAY, a New Heaven and a New Earth, In Revelation 21:1-22:21

An interesting Fact that I see, are the Harmonious Numbers of the Final Chapters and Scriptures,

7x3=21,

The New Beginning starts in Revelation 21 .. And ends with the 21st verse of Revelation 22.

(21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen)

As for a Timeline,

1. Around the 7th The Church of Rome, solidified it's Rule as the Dominate Power on Earth.

2. Around the 14th century, Bibles began to be Translated for everyone.

3. Around the 21st century, Knowledge & Technology Exploded.

I find it notable, that we call the century we live in, the 21st Century.

And with that, It Is Finished with “GODS Harmonious Sequence of Seven”

With Much Hope and Love,

Billions, face an eternity apart from Almighty GOD today,

as the once sweet smelling Roses of Religion Rot,

in vases of  excess and unconcerned greed.

Millions, will fall victim to the venom of vipers, as they sway and swagger,

with fair speeches of blessing apart from righteousness, 

Bringing ridicule and shame upon themselves and the Cross of Christ,

for title and tithes, that afford them extravagant luxurious lifestyles,

Far away from the Haunt and Hurt of Hopelessness.

Thousands, will sleep this very night, in the arms of untold comfort, 

While whole populations go unnoticed, in their cardboard prisons.

Yes, the once Sweet Smelling Roses of Religion,

now Rot, in vases of excess and unconcerned Greed.

While Pictures of Poverty, are Painted and framed,

in the luxurious windows of private Learjet’s,

as the lost dying world, quietly passes by beneath.

The Pathway to Hell, will be stained with the tears of the once unconcerned,

As they cry the same cry of the rich man, 

who found himself crying out, from the depths of hell for one single drop of water,

to sooth his tormented tongue. Luke 16:20-26

Matthew 25:41-46

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:

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat:

I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

I was a stranger, and ye took me not in:

naked, and ye clothed me not:

sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

Then shall they also answer him, saying,

Lord,

when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a

stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did

not minister unto thee? 

Then shall he answer them, saying, 

Verily I say unto you,

Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of

these, ye did it not to me.

**And these shall go away into everlasting punishment**

but the righteous into life eternal.

Today we stand at the doorways of Choice, 

We must Choose wisely, which one we enter, 

Our eternal destination certainly depends on it.

With Much Hope and Love,

Pastor Will
