"Come out of her, My people so that you do not take part in her sins,
and that you do not receive of her plagues"

Greetings, everyone! Welcome to Sabbath services!
John 6:44 is the very reason:
- why we're here
- where we're going
- why we come to Sabbath services
- why we pray
- why it is that we study
- why it is that we're looking forward to eternal life
John 6:44: "No one can come to Me unless the Father …"
Understand that if you're baptized and have the Holy Spirit of God, it is the Father Who has been dealing with you to begin with. Think of that! If the greatest Sovereign in the whole universe is dealing with you, are you important to Him?
It doesn't matter what the world thinks about importance, because importance in the world is failure with God. God has His plan that He's working out
Sidebar: We're about ready to do a second edition of God's Plan For Mankind Revealed by His Sabbath and Holy Days. We're going to send it off to the printer—the 'book manufacturer' is the technical term—they will print it up for us.
Because it is an expanded version, I want to send it to everyone who is on the list. All of you out there in video-land, you write in and let us know you want the book and we'll hold it until we get them delivered here and then we will mail it to you.
The reason is that this is the only book in the whole world that lays out in detail, and detail—and many other subjects to along with it—of God's plan.
The thing is, God has hidden this plan especially from the wise and intelligent. They think—as we saw with Dr. Hoeh—that they can define God by their own philosophical reasonings. You can't do it; God has defined Himself by His Word!
Verse 44: "No one can come to Me…"
The next time you see Franklin Graham on television say, 'Will you pray this little prayer with me'; that doesn't work! If someone is really sincere, it may work for a while. But unless you keep coming to God, it isn't going to stick!
"…unless the Father, Who sent Me, draws him…" (v 44).
- What made you think of God in the first place?
- What made you think in a way that you knew you needed God in the first place?
- GOD!
"…and I will raise him up at the last day" (v 44).
When you get the April letter, I go through John 6 and you will see that the "last day" is the first resurrection on Pentecost, because Pentecost is the last day—50th day—the last trump, the seventh trump. This explains everything, every reason:
- why we study
- why we pray
- why we do it every day
- why we yield to God
I'll tell you this: the more that you really, really do it because you desire to do it… Not like some people set a clock and say, 'You've got to pray an hour.' I took a clock and put it down there and I prayed for an hour. What they didn't tell you was that he was praying to fill the hour, rather than connecting with God. Prayer is your spiritual connection with God! Just like your smart phone connects to the tower and everything else works.
What we're going to see today is a good example of how in the Scriptures of God there are many things that apply to any one verse in different ways.
Verse 45: "It is written in the Prophets…
- Where do you find where Jesus said it's written? Matt. 4; Luke 4!
- What did He say? It is written that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word of God!
"…'And they shall all be taught by God'…." (v 45).
How are you taught by God? He is up there in the heavens—at the third heaven, which is probably a whole lot closer to the earth than we've ever imagined—and we're down here on earth! We're down here like one little ant in a giant ant farm.
Who are we that God would deal with us? God is the One Who did! He didn't call the wise and mighty!
"…Therefore, everyone who has heard from the Father…" (v 45).
How do you hear from the Father? When you have it in your heart and mind that you know that you need God! You know that you need to repent and change. That's how you hear God, through the power of His Holy Spirit, and through His Word.
What does Heb. 10:16 say? Let's turn there and read it. This is what is happening every time you pray and every time you study.
Hebrews 10:14: "For by one offering He has obtained eternal perfection for those who are sanctified."
Sanctified means to be set apart by God with His Holy Spirit, and we are sanctified the Word of God (John 17:17).
When does the perfection come? The resurrection!
Sidebar: I got an e-mail from a man who says, 'I've been in the Church a long time and I still find that I have a lot of things in my mind that are not good….
How does that work?
…How can that be a good fruit from a tree that is a good tree?
So, I answered him this way:
The good fruit is repentance! Isn't repentance good? Yes! What does that do with those thoughts? It helps eliminate them! But I'm convinced from my own experience that as you get older, God is helping bring to your remembrance a lot of things that you did a long time ago.
Why would He do that? Well, very simple! Everything you ever done is recorded in your mind, somewhere in your mind. So, what is God doing by exposing these things that are still there? He's helping you to repent! And replace it with His Word!
Think about that! That is terrific! This is great!
Verse 15: "And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after He had previously said, 'This is the covenant that I will establish with them after those days'… [after the ministry of Christ] …says the Lord…" (vs 15-16).
Here's the whole purpose of study. A lot of Protestants say that 'we have the Law of God written in our heart from birth.' Not true!
"…'I will give My Laws into their hearts…'" (v 16). How is He going to do that?
- by the Bible
- by His Word
- by His Spirit
That's why when you read the Bible it's not like reading any other book, because, as Jesus said, 'The words that I speak to you, they are Spirit and they are Life!' So, what is happening when you study and pray? You're actually using God's Spirit and God is interacting with you with His Spirit in you! The words and things that you study and pray about.
The longer you do this and the longer you're in the Church of God—and you're really growing and overcoming—you will understand more about the greatness of God. Just think about how great God is, bringing into this world from Adam and Eve clear on down through to the end of the Millennium and the Great White Throne Judgment every human being coming into the world made in the image of God from a speck of dust, and look at what you have when you're full grown, when you're mature.
When you're getting older, look at what you're losing. So that comes true, too. So, don't worry about it, that's part of the process.
"…and I will inscribe them in their minds" (v 16).
That's quite a thing, because they know that the synapses and parts of the brain record thoughts, words and actions. But notice who is doing the writing. Who is "…I…"? We'll all be taught by God, and that's the Father! That's why it's so important.
Verse 17: "And their sins and lawlessness I will not remember ever again." How does that work?
John 14:15: "If you love Me…" Then what happens? We begin to see that everything God is doing with us, for us and for all the brethren is based on love!
We are to respond back to God by loving Him with 'all our heart, mind, soul and being.' That's the first and greatest commandment! Or the first love!
You will find by experience then that you will love God more, you will be able to repent of your sins with a greater depth of repentance, and you will be able to have the laws and commandments of God written in your heart and in your mind.
- Isn't that the greatest thing to take place in your life? Think about that!
- What could be greater than that?
God the Father:
- is dealing directly with you as an individual
- has called you
- has given you His Spirit
- has provided Jesus Christ, His only Begotten Son to be the sacrifice for our sins
And Jesus also verified this when we read the Sermon on the Mount, where He said, 'Here is how to pray…'
- What's the first thing?
- Dear Jesus…?
- Dear Mary…? as the Catholics do!
- Dear St. Patrick…? another saint of the Catholic Church
Whatever!
What did Jesus say? Our Father… The very first thing! One of the very first teachings He had. 'Our Father Who is in heaven, Holy is Your name!' This helps straighten us out as to what to do. 'Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.' That's how we are to pray. What did Jesus say just before He was arrested?
John 16: 23: "And in that day… [from the day that He is no longer with them] …you shall ask Me nothing.…"
Now you see where the Protestants are missing the mark. They're relying on Jesus only, but that's not what Jesus said.
"…Truly, truly I tell you, whatever you shall ask the Father in My name, He will give you" (v 23).
Very profound! Think of that! God has given us the privilege of praying directly to the Father, in Jesus' name!
Verse 24: "Until this day, you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full. These things I have spoken to you in allegories; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but I will plainly disclose to you the things of the Father" (vs 24-25).
So, we find that with the Holy Spirit, it's the Father and the Son!
Verse 26: "In that day, you shall ask in My name; and I do not tell you that I will beseech the Father for you, for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God. I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father" (vs 26-28).
John 14:15: "If you love Me, keep the commandments—namely, My commandments. And I will ask the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that it may be with you throughout the age: Even the Spirit of the Truth…" (vs 15-17).
Remember, "…the Spirit…" in every place in the New Testament is always in the neuter gender. Keep that in mind! The word comforter is describing what the Holy Spirit does. That's where the mix-up comes on the trinity. Every noun in the Greek must have a gender designation: masculine, feminine and neuter!
Comforter is masculine, but that's describing the Holy Spirit, which is neuter. One other thing, so that you cannot make that a third person in a trinity, just because comforter is in the masculine gender. It's a descriptive noun.
Now, let's give you another description; v 6: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life…"
Each of these three words—Way, Truth and Life—are feminine, because this is a noun with action.
- "…I am the Way…"—Greek: 'he hodos'
- "…and the Truth…"—Greek: 'he altheia'
- "…and the Life…"—Greek: 'he zoe'
All feminine! Does that make Jesus a woman? NO! So, you have the same thing. These are descriptive nouns. Comforter is a descriptive noun, but does not determine the gender of the person it's related to.
Verse 17: "Even the Spirit of the Truth, which the world cannot receive…"—impossible—'ou dunatai'
Why can't it receive the Spirit of the Truth? Because unless there's repentance, you're not going to receive it! Unless there's repentance, and then baptism—which is the circumcision of the heart—your heart or mind is not capable of receiving it! That's why it can't receive it.
"…because it perceives it not, nor knows it, but you know it because it dwells with you, and shall be within you" (v 17). That's the Holy Spirit of God!
Verse 23—This is what we need to keep in mind every day when we study and pray. You will build al of these things spiritually step-by-step, day-by-day, and that's going to help to be able to cope with this awful world the way that it is now.
Verse 23: "Jesus answered and said to him, 'If anyone loves Me, he will keep My Word…'"
A lot of these IF questions, the way you can perceive them even more is to reverse it: If you don't keep His Word, you don't love Him!
Jesus said, 'What call Me Lord, Lord and do not what I say!'
"…and My Father will love him, and We…" (v 23). We've been focusing on this lately, and sometimes it's good to go over and over very important things.
"…We… [the Father and the Son] …will come to him and make Our abode with him. The one who does not love Me does not keep My words, and the Word that you hear is not Mine, but the Father's, Who sent Me" (vs 23-24).
How do they come up with a trinity. Nowhere, nowhere in the Bible is the Holy Spirit referred to as God. Always the power of God.
Go read the introduction to every one of Paul's 14 epistles and you will find exactly the same thing in a little bit different variation of it.
Galatians 1:1: "Paul, an apostle, not sent from men nor made by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, Who raised Him from the dead." Not a word about the Holy Spirit!
We will answer the question as to what they're really worshipping when they worship the Trinity and who is the one who is there producing this lie?
2-Corinthians 4:1: "Therefore, having this ministry, according as we have received mercy, we are not fainthearted."
Here is what the Word of God and the power of God combined together help us to do.
Verse 2: "For we have personally renounced the hidden things of dishonest gain, not walking in cunning craftiness… [just renounce that] …nor handling the Word of God deceitfully…"—renounce that!
How do you handle the Word of God deceitfully? Last week, the message that I gave—The Thinker and the Thought—is about handling the Word of God deceitfully! When you change the name of the word 'God,' where it says and the Word was God, you change God to Divine so you can make your theory work, you have handled the Word of God deceitfully!
"…but by manifestation of the Truth…" (v 2).
Always compare everything with the Truth, and how many times have you heard me say, 'The Truth, the Truth, the Truth!' This is it!
"…we are commending ourselves to every man's conscience before God. But if our Gospel is hidden, it is hidden to those who are perishing… [rather than growing in grace and knowledge; notice the power behind that]: …in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of those who do not believe…" (vs 2-4).
When you really believe, then you're mind is opened to the Truth!
"…lest the Light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, Who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we do not preach our own selves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake" (vs 4-5).
Does this give us a clue as to who the third person is in the false doctrine of the Trinity? Right there, Satan the devil!
Remember what Satan wanted to do: I will ascend to the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High!
Revelation 12:9: "And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent who is called the Devil and Satan, who is deceiving the whole world…"—in many different ways!
The main one with Christianity in this world is the Trinity. I remember talking to a man who watched Church at Home and his wife called and she was really excited. She wanted me to come down there and she would setup a Bible study and I would come down to San Diego where they lived.
I called to make arrangements and her husband answered the phone. He found out who I was and he said, 'What do you believe with the Trinity?' How am I going to answer that? I said, 'That's not true. That's not a true doctrine.' He hung up!Deceives!
The beast that comes up out of the sea, and it's all described right there.
Revelation 13:4: "And they worshiped the dragon…"—Satan the devil!
- they profess to worship Christ
- they profess to worship God the Father
But they believe in the Trinity, so they have a counterfeit Christianity led by none other than Satan the devil! It's going to sweep the world! It's going to come!
"…who gave his authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, 'Who is like the beast? Who has the power to make war against him?'" (v 4).
That's the whole system that is being maneuvered around to try and get all lined up right now.
(break)
Let's see what's happening in the world, because there are a lot of things happening in the world. We look at everything that's going on and we wonder how it can get any worse! You look at the news and you get depressed.
Look at Minnesota and all the things that they are doing. And it looks like that that policeman will be given a mistrial, because the prosecution held back defense information that would exonerate the policeman.
All those wonderful liberals, they're such honest and nice people. No, they're liars and cheats. Look at Minnesota. It has been liberal, liberal, liberal and the only state in the union in 1984 did not vote for Ronald Reagan; ultra liberal! What do those ultra liberal policies amount to. What happens when you get all the ultra-liberals in, in government and religion?
- government gets away with taxation and corrupt practices
- religion gets away from obedience to the Word of God, even in the things that they had known.
Go back and check Protestantism and you find out that they were doing everything pretty well right before the turn of the 20th century. In the back of the Bible—Appendix N—we have Rome's Challenge to the Protestants where Cardinal Gibbon challenged the Protestants to prove that Sunday was authorized by Jesus Christ, and he said that you can't do it. Everywhere it's the Sabbath!
This was in reaction to the Protestants who brought a suit against the World's Fair in 1893 to have the fair 'close down on Sunday because that is the Lord's day.' So, the Seventh Day Adventist came in counter to the suit and showed in court that the Sabbath was the only day that the New Testament taught.
Do they didn't shut it down either Saturday or Sunday. Rome's Challenge to the Protestants was published on four Sabbaths in a row in July 1893.
Why do I mention this? Simple! If you get a warning from whatever source—whether it be the Bible or anything else—that is a true warning, and you reject it… That's what the Protestants did! That began the slide down, down, down of the Protestants, a little bit every decade, because they answered back and said, yes, the Bible only teaches the Sabbath!
So, what happens? When you break one Law you break them all! Think of this as a culmination of that process of religious and political leaders becoming so liberal that they become lawless. Would you not say that in Minnesota that it's lawless? Yes, indeed!
You wonder how bad it can get! A lot of people are going to say that the end is near, look at all this stuff going on. Not yet! We're going to see that other things of evil are going to come along that are going to be even worse.
Mark 13:19: "For in those days shall be great tribulation… [notice how severe]: …such as has not been the like from the beginning of the creation that God created until this time, nor ever shall be again… [it's going to be so bad]: … and unless the Lord had limited the days, no flesh… [any life in the flesh] …would be saved, but for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has limited the days" (vs 19-20).
I've been reading the Greek for the Interlinear doing proofreading, and that's a very tedious job. But as I was reading it, I just got done watching the news. And in reading it, it was just like I was watching the news.
So, the disciples wanted to know when was the completion of the age. He told them, 'Look at all of these beautiful buildings. Just imagine that they're on the Mount of Olives and looking down toward the temple. It's all covered with stone going from the floor of the Kidron Valley right up to where the floor of the temple area was. Then you have the temple and the wall, everything there, beautiful, wonderful.
Then they said, 'Look at these buildings, there's something I want you to know.' We can learn from this: it doesn't matter how good something may look or be, if it's not of God or if God determines to destroy it, nobody is going to save it.
So, the question we have to ask ourselves is this: How bad is it going to get where God says, 'No more'? We don't know, because in the world we're going to see it describes it perfectly!
Matthew 24:2: But Jesus said to them, 'Do you not see all these things?….'"
It's the Temple of God! Was there any more important building on the face of the earth? No!
"'…Truly I say to you, there shall not be left here even a stone upon a stone that shall not be thrown down'" (v 2).
Note our DVD: Jerusalem and the Lost Temple of the Jews, about where the location of the third temple should be. We can't put it online, we have to send you the DVD.
Verse 3: "And as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, His disciples came to Him alone, saying, 'Tell us…'"
Isn't that what we want to know? What's it going to be? How bad is it going to be? I don't think that those who live in Minneapolis think it could get very much worse, but it can.
"…when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of Your coming, and of the completion of the age?' Then Jesus answered and said to them, 'Be on guard…" (vs 2-4)—watch out! The first thing is that we have to guard:
- the faith
- our relationship with God
- the Word of God
"…'Be on guard so that no one deceives you. For many shall come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ'; and they shall deceive many" (vs 4-5).
On top of what I got last week about The Thinker and The Thought and the Unfinished Business by Herman Hoeh, this week I got another paper! It was from Steve Collins who wrote the book The Lost Ten Tribes Found, which was really a good book.
But here is an example of how over time:
- unless you guard what you know is true
- unless you keep building toward the Kingdom of God
you can slip away!
Steve Collins wrote paper on the seven Churches of Rev. 2 & 3. He said that all of them describe the Christianity of the world, because they all profess that Jesus died for their sins. So, for him that means the Catholics are just fine, the Protestants are just fine, the Mormons are just fine, the Seventh Day Adventists are just fine. Who else becomes just fine? All the other religions of the world! Let's look at some things here concerning that. Let's see what Jesus said.
Collins said nothing about keeping the commandments of God. He said nothing about idolatry that the Catholics and Protestants have. This is why everything must be tested by the Word of God. Here's what Jesus said:
Luke 6:46: "And why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord'… [or Jesus, Jesus] …but you do not practice what I say?
What does that include? Every word that's recorded! He said these things over and over again when He was on earth. Practice means doing!
We read in the first part of the message today: obey My voice!
Verse 47: "Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and practices them…"—live by them!
What was the main thing Jesus said in: Mark 2:27: "…'The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath; therefore, the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath' (vs 27-28).
If He's Lord and you call Him Lord, Lord, and He did say that, but you don't keep the Sabbath, how can you be part of the Church of God. Just because you may be a Protestant or Catholic, or an independent, and you believe that Jesus died for the sins of the world, is that enough? No, that can't be enough!
Luke 6:47: "Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and practices them I will show you what he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the Rock… [that Rock was Christ] …and a flood came… [trouble] …and the torrent beat against that house, but could not shake it, because it was founded on the Rock. But the one who has heard My words and has not practiced them is like a man who built a house on top of the ground, without a foundation; and when the torrent beat against it, it fell at once, and the ruin of that house was great" (vs 47-49).
We find that He also brings this out in other places, the very same thing.
You need to understand how John 3:16 is translated here in the Faithful Version. For all of you who do not have the Faithful Version let me explain one of the reason that we did it:
It was to bring the Truth of the Word of God without all of the errors of the King James Version of the Bible, and others. The KJV is what mixed up so many people concerning the truth of Paul's writings. They didn't understand them.
Same way here:
John 3:16: "For God so loved the world… [all the world's Christianity God loves] …that He gave His only Begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in Him …"—that is a verb [transcriber's correction], what does that mean?
Some will say, 'Why didn't you translate it that way?' It's a little awkward with too many 'ing's so we used the universal: believes. A participle means believing on a continuous basis.
So that everyone who is believing on Him, on a continuous basis:
"…may not perish, but may have everlasting life" (v 16).
Look at the two places that it says may. That's special in the Greek. The KJV translates it as should; 'may' is different. 'May' shows that there are conditions. It's called in the Greek subjunctive. What are the conditions?
When you read a verse you have other things to go to find out the whole meaning of it. What are the other things that have to happen? Let's look at one:
Luke 13:1: "Now, at the same time, there were present some who were telling Him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices." That's kind of a gory thing!
Verse 2: "And Jesus answered and said to them, 'Do you suppose that these Galileans were sinners above all Galileans, because they suffered such things?'"
We look out and see all the destruction coming on, people dying—some accidentally—do you think he or she was a greater sinner because it happened?
Verse 3[transcriber's correction]: "No, I tell you; but if you do not repent…"
That's the major condition, repent and be baptized. That's another condition. So, if you believe on Him, that's what you will do.
"…you shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, do you suppose that these were debtors above all men who dwelt in Jerusalem?" No, I tell you; but if you do not repent, you shall all likewise perish" (vs 3-5).
There are conditions. You can't come along and say:
Oh, I've got a new doctrine, I'll write it down and I'll send it out because I have a website and a lot of people will believe it, because I believe it.
And say that because all of those in the world—because they profess Jesus—compose part of the Church of God.
- What did Jesus say of us?
- What was the command that we are to do?
Here's another one concerning the very things that are taking place today and what God expects people to do. This will be the only way that there may be some mitigation of some of the evil that is transpiring. Evil goes from place to place; isn't that what happened? Where did all of this start? In Seattle, Washington! Then in Portland, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Chicago and New York.
Politically speaking, they all represent progressive Democrats, which means that they are responsible, and the people who follow them for having such ideologies that there is no law.
- What is God going to do with law-breakers who won't repent? He's going to execute them!
- Why do we have so much lawbreaking within us? Because we're letting all the criminals out of jail, 'because we're broadminded people and we want to help them.'
So, they come out like this one man who got out—had been in jail for killing his mother—and it shows on television that he beat up an 68-year-old woman. He punched her and kicked her and then walked off. There were people standing in a doorway watching, and there was a camera that they have posted in various places in the apartment building. When he got done beating her up, he walked away, and they shut the door! They didn't go out to help her.
How are you going to deal with situations like this? Unless they bring in real strict law enforcement and they have laws that get rid of the evil ones, this is only going to multiply!
- What did Jesus say in Matt. 24 about lawlessness? It's going to multiply!
- What does that mean? It's not just add on and add on, it's add on, add on all the way around!
Now, just before the destruction of the whole system called in Revelation: Babylon the Great!
Revelation 18:1: "And after these things I saw an angel descending from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was illuminated with his glory."
Why does God do things this way? In hopes that when people see that, they'll fall on their knees or face and repent! That's what God wants!
Verse 2: "And he cried out mightily with a loud voice, saying, 'Babylon the Great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a habitation of demons, and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hated bird… [that's how bad it's going to get, world wide] …because all nations… [Is that not world wide? ] …have drunk of the wine of the fury of her fornication…'" (vs 2-3).
There may be some people who are relatively good people. But remember that when Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, two other neighboring cities were destroyed, because they were enablers.
"…and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her… [all the kings and leaders] …and the merchants…" (v 3).
Think about the merchants; who are they? Think about the merchants of 'woke.' Do you know what 'woke' is? Change the whole society, eliminate the history of America! They didn't like the change in the election law in Georgia, so what happened? Major League Baseball moved the All Star Game to another location. Coca Cola and Delta Airlines followed. How many other leaders of corporations?
They can do it, because they're going to make the money. Even if people stop buying their products or flying their planes for a while, it doesn't matter to them. So, you have the business leaders involved in it.
"…and the merchants of the earth have become rich…" (v 3).
How about all of the 'tech' companies? Anyone who believes in law and order won't be able to be on there. What they're also trying to do is develop 'artificial intelligence.' What they will do is have artificial intelligence censor everything that goes on all the digital communication devices—period!
What will they do? Censor it all! That means what you are watching out there on live streaming. One day it will be gone! What are you going to do? That's why you have to have your own personal Bible! Your own personal prayer and study every day!
Remember what Jesus told the Laodiceans! We'll get there in minute.
"…through the power of her luxury.' And I heard another voice from heaven, saying…" (vs 3-4).
Here's a call to repentance! You cannot have John 3:16 without repentance, baptism and obeying the Word of God. But they misuse it so they can daub in people's conscious and feel relieved. Then they're told, 'There's nothing for you to do, just believe.' So, they go right back!
"…'Come out of her, My people… [these are all the children of Israel and any in the Churches of God] …so that you do not take part in her sins, and that you do not receive of her plagues'" (v 4).
How do they get into a situation that they're subject to that? Exactly by believing what Steven Collins has written:'Everybody who professes the name of Jesus is going to be saved. That's how it happens.
Verse 5: "For her sins have reached as far as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Render to her as she has rendered to you; and give to her double, even according to her works. In the cup that she mixed, give her back double" (vs 5-6).
It's coming! It's coming! How far is it going to go? Let me just add something in here to let you know there may be far more time than we may be thinking.
This is from a book that is mentioned in the Bible: The Book of Jashur, which is an historical book much like the Books of the Maccabees.
- How bad is it going to get?
- How far will it go?
- Can you think of in the book of Genesis a clue as to how far it is to go?
Genesis 11:6[transcriber's correction] : "…now nothing, which they have imagined to do, will be restrained from them."
Article: Days of Noah: Hybrid monkey-human embryos created in lab for first time…Some warn Pandora's box has opened

Why are they doing this? Every evil is done on a good sounding basis! If you do it to help people, that's good, especially if you do it to help sick people. Or in this case, people who have heart transplants, kidney transplants, lung transplants; all of that. The demand for transplants is so high that they're trying to figure a way how they can grow human organs in monkeys. They already do it with pigs.
They're able to splice the gene to put the gene in there so that they pig heart valves will be human. Then they kill the pig and put it in the person's heart. Here they explain why they are doing it in China and La Jolla, California, these are the scientists. The scientists are doing this for 'good. We want to help people.' That's why we've killed 62 million in abortion, because we want to help people.
"The demand for that is much higher than the supply," and he goes on to describe how his team injected 25 iPS, or induced pluripotent stem cells, from humans into a number of macaque monkey embryos. The details of the report stated that over 100 of the embryos remained viable, which enabled the scientists to study how the different types of cells interacted.
"Our goal is not to generate any new organism, any monster"…
Oh no, we wouldn't do that! Of course we wouldn't do that!
…Belmonte stressed. "And we are not doing anything like that. We are trying to understand how cells from different organisms communicate with one another. "This knowledge will allow us to go back now and try to re-engineer these pathways that are successful for allowing appropriate development of human cells in these other animals," he added.
How far will they go? Remember, God said that He confused the language because 'anything that they imagine to do, they can do.' Here it is, right here! 'As it was in the days of Noah so shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of man!'
Book of Jashur 4:18—talking about the days of Noah: "And their judges and rulers…
Who is leading the charge today?
… went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals."
Just when we think it's really getting bad and maybe we're close to the end, and maybe it's not going to get so bad. Hopefully we will all escape. Remember this: don't pull a Hezekiah on God. Remember what happened with Hezekiah?
God gave him 15 years extra length of time to live. Then He got all uplifted and shows the ambassadors from Babylon all the wealth and booty and everything that he got from the Assyrian army when God destroyed them. He showed it to them!
So, Isaiah came to Hezekiah and said, 'Who are these men?' Oh, they're ambassadors from Babylon! 'What did you show them?' Everything!
What did God say through Isaiah? It's all going to Babylon, but not in your day! So, don't think that because it's not in your day that it isn't going to happen. But what was Hezekiah's response: 'Oh, that's good, it won't be in my day!'
Remember all of the evil was contemporary during Noah's day. How bad did it get? Noah's family, but Noah only, one man, saved the whole human race because of God! Just one man! So, don't think that you're not important to God. Every individual is!
Genesis 6:5: "And the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth… [Is it today?] …and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."

Sin! Sin! Sin! A few good things here and there, but that's all it is!
Sidebar on creating these new organs in the monkeys: What don't they teach people how to take care of themselves, and they won't need a heart transplant or kidney transplant.
Why is there a great need today? Because too many people are on drugs that's destroying them!
Verse 6: "And the LORD repented that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. And the LORD said, 'I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, and the crawling thing, and the fowl of the air; for I repent that I have made them'" (vs 6-7).
- What are they trying to do today? Mix them with human genes!
- What were they doing then? We've got it written down, mixing human genes with animal genes! Same thing!
Verse 8: "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD."
How powerful is that? Well, we're here because of that!
Verse 9: "These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man and perfect in his generations…"—or genealogy!
Why would it mention that? Because of what we read in the Book of Jashur, and what's happening today.
"…for Noah walked with God" (v 9)—and that's what we need to do!
I want you to have more strength, courage and understanding of the things that are coming, because we haven't see anything, yet! But if you're doing like Noah, God will:
- be with you
- help you
- strengthen you
