Greetings, everyone! Welcome to Sabbath services!
News from the Supreme Court ruling on nullifying Roe vs Wade:
All of the evil people, which includes mostly Democrats… If you've been a lifelong Democrat and you're still registered as a Democrat you might rethink you're allegiance. They are certainly given over completely to Satan the devil. That was brought out when this decision came out:
- rioting
- looting
- burning
Even members of congress are saying that Biden ought to declare U.S. military and government property as 'safe places to put up tents to be able to perform abortions.' They are the people of death and murder.
I say to every one of them: Next time you look in the mirror ask yourself what would happen if you were aborted! God looks at this with the uttermost disdain, and the uttermost punishment coming!
There are some who are trying to do good. So far, there are a number of states who have completely outlawed abortion, which is good! But remember, we've already killed over 62-million!
You do the math! Do you suppose that's why God put into the White House Joe Biden as punishment for our sins? And the #1 sinners are the Sunday-keeping pastors who say that 'if you have faith and grace you can do anything you want to, and it doesn't matter!'
God says that's a lie! So, until there's some change with the pastors, there will be no change in the punishment coming. It looks like it's even going to get worse! Let me tell you right now: You better get some more stock and supplies in your house!
The goal of the Biden administration is very apparent now. They want to make America as close to what Venezuela is like today by 2024! If they do, not even Trump can turn that around! Remember also that every thing that is done toward good it better be in line with the Word of God!
I was watching the news just before the Sabbath began. There are sports everywhere! Activities everywhere on Friday night! The average person is going to have to repent of that. God means business!
We are the children of Israel, the tribe of Manasseh that has more of the 12 tribes of Israel in one geographical area than all of the rest of the tribes in Europe.
- God is going to hold us responsible
- He's going to hold the Churches of God responsible
Let's see how God looks at this, and see what He has given to the Jews. If there are any Jews out there listening, I have a message to you from God:
Jesus Christ is the true Messiah and Savior. Your suffering down through the centuries, with all of your ancestors is because those in the time of Jesus Christ refused to repent, refused to come to Him!
God holds them responsible for that. I ask every Jew: Why do you believe in abortion? Then turn around and scream to high heaven when you're persecuted?
Don't blame me; I'm just giving you a message from God! Let's look at the message to the children of Israel before God destroyed Jerusalem the first time. Think about how stubborn your ancestors have been. They refused to repent in the days of Jeremiah, sent you off into captivity into Babylon and then brought you back.
You read the account in Ezra and Nehemiah; as soon as you got back you started sinning right in the face of God again! If it weren't for Ezra and Nehemiah you would have gone into oblivion again! What does it take for people to repent to God of their sins?
For all of those of you who think I'm picking on the Jews, hold on. God has a message for you, too. If you likewise don't repent, you will go into captivity. It's going to happen! The Word of God tells us it is going to happen!
So there needs to be a 'cry aloud and spare not!' I hope this gets out to as many people as possible! Here's what God said to Jeremiah, and don't anybody out there say that the Bible is not the Word of God and it's not true! That's a satanic lie! If you believe that, you better go repent 'big time'! Every single word is true, and every promise will be fulfilled for blessing or for cursing!
Jeremiah 19:1: "Thus says the LORD…"
Jeremiah was a lonely person! One man against the hostile, rebellious, stubborn, evil, wicked people! They should have been the people of God showing the world how to live with the 10 Commandments and Who the true God was! No, they had to go to their own evil ways! So, the LORD says:
"…'Go and get a potter's earthen jar, and assemble some of the elders of the people and of the elders of the priests'" (v 1).
This tells you who is responsible for the vast sins sweeping the entire population today as well as back then! The most evil thing to come is the 'gender change' of our children in schools!
Verse 2: "And go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom by the entry of Potsherd Gate. And there declare the words that I shall tell you. And say, 'Hear the Word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and people of Jerusalem….'" (vs 2-3)—the priests as well!
- Will the people in America hear?
- Will the senators, representatives and governors hear?
- Will they open their ears?
- Will they open their eyes?
- Will they read the Bible?
- Will they come to God and help the people get away from their sins?
- Will the pastors quit their conspiracy against the Sabbath?
All of that brings the evil we're facing. We will be facing great shortages this year!
"…Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, 'Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, which shall cause the ears of him who hears it to tingle.…[think about that's going to be like] …Because…[here's the reason; God does not do anything without reason, without warning] …they have forsaken Me…'" (vs 3-4).
I've got a report that says 81% of people in America believe in God. No, they don't! It's a profession that they have a consciousness that there is a 'God.' But they really don't believe in Him, because IF you believed in Him you would love and obey Him!
- Do you?
- Do you keep the Ten Commandments?
- Do you keep the Sabbath Day?
- Do you keep His Holy Days?
You can give me every excuse under the sun why people don't do it. Know this for sure, every one of those explanations are lies to keep you trapped into Satan's society and system!
Who steps in when you leave God? Satan does! When he first comes, he comes with a benefit. Remember that you can never succeed in doing good by sinning. Remember that!
"…and have profaned this place and have burned incense in it to other gods whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents" (v 4).
That is, they were sacrificing their children to the god Molech. If you don't believe that the Democrat Party is an evil, wicked, death-hungry party, all six major Democrat states are enacting laws that will legalize infanticide, which means that even after a baby is born, if you just leave it and abandon it—and it didn't give any age limit—you cannot be held criminally liable.
You think about that! You think about what God is going to do to those states. You think about what is going to happen. I tell you, right here in California we're in the midst of the driest time ever. It has dry and it when it's not hot the wind is blowing and everything is drying and the water is disappearing. It's going to go away because people in California have given themselves over to evil, starting with the current governor all the way down to all of those who are homeless and on the streets.
Sidebar: They just discovered after all this time that smoking marijuana leads to mental disease!
- Why do you legalize it?
- Why do you in the population want to smoke it?
So, God says, that's not enough and you won't give it up, I'll have the Chinese send fentanyl here more than to kill everyone in America. Think on that!
Verse 5: "They have also built the high places of Baal to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal…['cannibal' comes from the word Baal] …which I never commanded nor spoke, nor did it come into My mind."
Yet, there are those evil one from the temple of Satan, because one of the big problems has been is that freedom of religion has been twisted to allow anything! Now temples of Satan are being raised up in many different places in America. They hold abortion as a ritual for them to follow!
Don't think that until these problems have some sort of restitution that there's going to be any good times flowing back. God removed Donald Trump for a reason!
- he didn't give enough credit to God
- the people didn't turn to God and were thankful for all the good things that they had
Think that one over! If Donald Trump is listening, you better get on your knees and confess your sins to Him directly! You better give God credit for every good thing you ever did to America, because it wasn't just you. You may have been the tool in His hands to do it, but the people were unthankful! You didn't give God enough credit!
Verse 6: "'Therefore, behold, the days come,' says the LORD…"
The days are coming! You think we've had evil days come upon us, one day after another, another and another—add it all up! Look at everything that is done deliberately to choke down this nation and bring it to the point of starvation and being overrun with immigrants because of the abortions that have been against their children of this nation!
"…'that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but The Valley of Slaughter.…[think about that; God is not going to spare] …And I will make the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem come to nothing in this place…" (vs 6-7).
All you politicians, you better take a day of fasting and prayer to God, the God of the Bible and Jesus Christ, His only Begotten Son. You need to reconsider the things that you are doing and enacting and bringing upon the people. What you're telling the people what they can do that leads them into sin.
"…and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of those who seek their lives. And I will give their dead bodies to be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth. And I will make this city a waste and a hissing. Everyone who passes by shall be astonished and shall hiss because of all its plagues" (vs 7-8).
- Isn't that what will happen?
- What will happen when all these people in their homes and apartments and can't get any food and have children?
- What will they do to spare their own lives, but kill their own children and eat them? That's what God says!
Verse 9: "And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their own sons and the flesh of their own daughters…"
You say, how horrible! It is! But it's going to happen! It happened in Jerusalem in 70A.D. for the rejection of Jesus Christ. He absolutely destroyed the temple and the city. The rebellion by Bar Kafka who was proclaimed by Rabbi Akiva as the Messiah, but he wasn't. They rebelled against the Romans and the Romans came and slaughtered the Jews so unmerciful. The last bastion they had was Masada!
Remember the little place on top of that high cliff? The Romans solved the problem of getting there by having all the captive Jews build a ramp to go up. They went up there and all of the Jews committed suicide.
All the Jews today, to this day, do not admit their own sins, but blame the Romans! No! the Romans were the hand of God because you rejected God. America today is in exactly the same position as it was back then.
I just got seven books written by different people on how to solve the problems in America, how to return to God, etc. Did any one of them mention the Sabbath? No! They don't get it!
- they playchurch!
- they play being Christian
Everyone thinks that they're a 'good person.' No! All have sinned and come short of the glory of God!No one is good, but God!
- Do you keep the Sabbath?
- Do you keep the 2nd commandment? No idols!
- Do you teach loving mother and father, and father and mother loving children?
- What is it that you teach?
- What is it that you go to church for?
If you don't go on the day that God says to be there, you're going someplace where God is not!
Remember that Jeremiah was a priest so he could do this. Also, his message to the people, the Jews in Jerusalem then, was so powerful and affective that they wanted to kill him. Even all of the priests and Levites that lived in the city of Anathoth, which was the priest's and Levite's city from which Jeremiah came, wanted to kill Jeremiah.
People are unwilling to face the truth! What they found in different surveys was that there's virtually no difference between Sunday-going Christians and people in the world who do don't go to Church. Why? Because those who are going to church are going so they supposedly can get free grace and continue to live in sin! That's what was happening at the temple, so God told Jeremiah:
Jeremiah 7:1: "The Word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 'Stand in the gate of the LORD'S house,,, [right there in front of everyone] …and proclaim there this Word, and say, "Hear the Word of the LORD, all Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship the LORD"'" (vs 1-2). So, I say the same thing:
Hear, everyone, in the Churches of God! Everyone in the Churches of God, we have our sins and difficulties to add to it, as well. But we better be the ones to give the sounding message and warning! What are we doing? Same thing that they're doing here!
Verse 3: "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, 'Amend your ways… [confess your sins and turn from them; walk away from them and don't do them] …and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. Do not trust in lying words…" (vs 3-4).
That's exactly what you hear from the Sunday-keeping pulpits, lying words! I tell you what you do. Look at what Jesus said in relationship to the laws that were given to Israel. He said, you've heard it said of old time that you shall not murder, but I say to you, if you call someone 'a fool' then you have sinned.'
That said, search the New Testament and see if you can find a verse that reads like this in the words of Jesus Christ, Who was the Lord God of the Old Testament and gave the Ten Commandments to ancient Israel. See if you can find this verse:
You have heard it said in ancient times that you shall remember the Sabbath Day and keep it Holy, but I tell you that I have come to change the Law and abolish it and you can worship on Sunday.
You see if you can find it!
Remember that there are lying, conniving, evil people who subverted the Worldwide Church of God and convinced 40% of the Church of God to switch from Sabbath to Sunday. Don't think it can't happen.
"…saying, 'The temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD are these'" (v 4).
Today it is, grace and faith, grace and faith, you don't need any works. Well, if you don't need any works, why does God say to the seven churches in Asia in Rev. 2 & 3, 'I know your works.'
Why? Because we're judged by our works! 'If you have faith you will have works!' That's what James said. Then God gives a way of repentance, which is what we're talking about here.
Verse 5: "For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor."
Think about all of those who helped President Trump when he brought these things to help the nation come out of the economic difficulties it was in during his four years. They are arresting them! There was one of the lawyers that they arrested without a search warrant given to him first, and they asked for his cell phone, and they took it.
Now there is no justice! Not one Democrat has been hauled up by any board, any judge, to be tried for their hideous things that they have done. They're going after every Republican and everyone who is trying to do good. I tell you that it's good that you tried to do it, but you better include God in it from now on!
Verse 6: "If you do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place…"—that's abortion!
Think about all the murder! Think about Chicago! There you have a mayor who is 'coo coo'! absolutely insane! They can't get rid of her! They murder, murder, murder; the highest murder rate in America is in Chicago. They can't stop the gangs! So, they want to take guns away from lawful Americans so they can't protect themselves.
But they haven't devised a way to get rid of the guns from the crooks! Until you devise a way to get rid of the guns from them, don't come and ask for the guns of the law-abiding Americans.
The democrats have made it so evil that you almost need armed guards to go to the grocery store today. If you're pushing your child in a stroller going to the store, you better pay attention because a car may run up on the sidewalk and strike you and try to kill your child.
"…nor walk after other gods to your hurt" (v 6).
Let's see what you need to repent of. Everyone wants to know how things got so bad; because you kicked God out of everything
- first out of the church by Sunday-keeping
- next out of the schools by lawsuits
- next out of the government by lawsuits
Thankfully, the Supreme Court said that the coach in Texas had every right to stand at the 50-yard line and pray! So, there are still some few out there willing to stand for the Truth!
Isaiah 5:18: "Woe…[trouble, anguish and misery] …to those who draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin with cart ropes."
That's a perfect description of the Democrat Party and their leaders, every one of them! The newly nominated Supreme Court Justice is a completely unqualified person in America to sit on the Supreme Court. As a woman she can't even define what a woman is.
Verse 19: "Who say, 'Let Him hurry and hasten His work, so that we may see it; and let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, so that we may know!'"
Well the truth is, because of your sins you're never going to know the purpose of God. God has it here in the Bible, and it's a wonderful and great purpose.
Note our book: God's Plan For Mankind Revealed by His Sabbath and Holy Days. If you're a Sunday-keeping Protestant person, you're going to read things in there that will stand your hair on end, because y ou have never heard them preached. Yet, they're in the Bible! All about the Plan of God!
Verse 20: "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…"
That's right where we are today! There are even people saying that it's a blessing to have abortion because that gives us increased economic power. Really? God can take that away in a flash!
"…who put darkness for light and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!" (v 20).
That's what they do. Anyone willing to accept giving an order say from the Baptist Church, of all conferences in America ordering all Baptist Churches to quit Sunday-keeping and keep the Sabbath on Saturday, from Friday night to Saturday night—sunset to sunset!
If that would happen you would see some changes in America. You would see the heavy hand of God lifted. But they're not going to do it, because they're no different than their stubborn blind, sinful, wretched priests and Levites at the temple during Jesus' day.
Verse 21: "Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!"
If that doesn't describe all of the politicians and ministers today, I don't what does.
Verse 22: "Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink…[drugs, as well] …who justify the wicked for a bribe…" (vs 22-23).
Did you see who was released? Two men who smuggled in more fentanyl that has ever been recovered and enough to kill every America twice! They came before a wonderful Democrat judge. Did he sent them to jail to await trial? No! He let them loose on their own recognizance!
- Where is justice?
- Where is truth?
Don't think for one minute that it's going to improve very much. The only way that there will be any improvement is if there will be changes and repentance in the things I've already covered.
"…and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!" (v 23).
There will be people who will be screaming bloody murder because of what I'm saying. But I'm telling you, if you say that of me, then think about what you need to be screaming against is all of those abortionists, and all of those who agree with it.
Sidebar on Planned Parenthood: the two Ps on their emblem actually represents broken wombs! Think about that! They need to demolish everything inside those buildings and get rid of it.
Verse 24: "Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, and the flame burns up the chaff; their root shall be like rottenness, and their blossoms shall go up like dust, because… [I don't care if you're a nice aging widow or if you're a young teenager, or an adult man/woman, young or old] …they have cast away the Law of the LORD of hosts and despised the Word of the Holy One of Israel."
- Do you know the Ten Commandments?
- Do you keep them?
- Do you repent when you break them?
- Do you have a Bible and study it to learn how to live?
- Do you know anything about God?
- Do you know anything about what He's doing?
- Do you know anything about why you're here?
- Do you know anything about God's purpose is for you?
- Do you? No!
You have cast it away! I have a big thick book of every high profiled person in the world who rejects the Bible and calls it lies, including Presidents of the United States, starting with Bill Clinton!
You might say, 'Fred, what are you getting all excited about?' I gave a message similar to this when I resigned Worldwide Church of God in 1979!
The were profligate, lying, stealing tithes and not serving God. I gave that message on the Day of Atonement 1979 and there was sitting in the audience Leroy Neff and Ron Reedy who were there to replace me.
I gave this resignation message and they didn't know that it was coming, and I prayed all the time I was giving it that they would not come up take me down off the stage. I remember that God inspired me! Right when I got to the Laodiceans (Rev. 3). Where I said—and I remember the words clearly as if just given to me today"
If there is not someone standing in the pulpit in Pasadena telling the people to amend there ways, the forces of evil will be let loose that will tear the Church asunder!
It took 12 years before it happened, but those are the words of God and I don't take any credit for it except being a mouthpiece for God of He wanted said.
If we love God and we want to prepare for the Kingdom of God, and we want to help bring this world peace under Christ, we have got to know what is going to happen. We have got to grow in strength, spirit, knowledge and understanding. We, of all people, need to quit playing church!
That's what's important. We can all be nice when we get together, that's fine. But if you come to church and it's a nice social thing for you… I've heard people say, 'I listen to Fred, but I go where my friends are.'
You better go where the Spirit of God is! You better ask for the Spirit of God for your life, for your family, for those you know! You better get right with God, because evil days are coming and they are going to be beyond description like I have read!
(break@43:40)
Since a lot of people, especially Protestants, don't like to be told what's in the Old Testament, here's what Paul wrote, and He is the one they believe in. Yet, they don't even understand some of the things that they wrote.
1-Cor. 10—Paul is talking about the Israelites when they were wandering in the wilderness. This is a warning for us from Paul:
1-Corinthians 10:4: "And they all drank of the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them. And that Rock was Christ."
Most Protestants don't completely understand that the One Who was the Lord God of the Old Testament became Jesus Christ of the New Testament.
Verse 5: "But with many of them God was not pleased…"
God was so angry at them for what they did, that instead of going into the 'promised land' at the end of a year and a half in the wilderness—which is what God originally planned—they were so rebellious that God said:
All right, since you don't believe Me and you don't believe Joshua and Caleb and their good report, you're not going to go into the land. But everyone over 20 years of age is going to die in the wilderness, and you're going to wander in the wilderness for 40 years.
- think about that
- think about the fact that didn't have to happen
It could have been very simple, everybody love and obey God. Here's the warning from Paul:
"…for their dead bodies were strewn in the wilderness. Now these things became examples for us so that we might not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, 'The people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.' Neither should we commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and twenty-three thousand were destroyed in one day. Neither should we tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted Him…" (vs 5-9).
How clear can that be that the Lord God of the Old Testament was Jesus Christ?
"…and were killed by serpents. Neither should we complain against God, as some of them also complained, and were killed by the destroyer" (vs 9-10).
Isn't it kind of miraculous or stunning that the Protestants say that you don't need the Old Testament. The Catholics say that's the old Law. NO! The old Law that the Catholics have is the Babylonian law that they have renamed 'Christian.'
Verse 11: "Now all these things happened to them as examples, and were written…[preserved] …for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages are coming."
Q—This came from a man who said that you should not talk about things that you hear or you should not go online to watch the alternate news…
Really, the alternate news is about the only place you can get the truth! There are a lot of other things mixed in with it!
…because that could be tending to spread gossip.
I remember in Worldwide when they came out with this same thing. What was that? They were trying to cover their tracks for all of the problems that they had in Worldwide! What did they tell us? You can't know anything about these things, and whatever you hear is gossip!
Q—Revelation 7 & 14 concerning the 144,000:
We've been talking and explaining the 144,000 and the great innumerable multitude from Rev. 7 quite a bit. My question is: Who are the 144,000 of Rev. 14?
We do have a publication: Who Are the 144,000?
{truthofGod.org} We'll take a quick look at it.
Are they the Bride of Christ? Yes, I understand this. They are the ones who never defiled themselves with a woman and are virgins. I understand that a woman in the Bible can mean a church.
Does this mean ones who were never part of an organized religious group, Sunday or any Church of God?
No, it doesn't mean that! That's how God looks down on it.
Does that include those that we know nothing about who keep the Sabbath and Holy Days?
I don't know how many there are about it, because we haven't heard of them, but I imagine that there are some somewhere in the world who are doing that.
First of all, what's important with Rev. 7 is that we have a timeframe for this. This is on Pentecost one year before the resurrection on the next Pentecost. If you haven't figure out how to make the chart that I suggested, it is found online at: https://www.cbcg.org/images/images/Chart-Pentecost-Trumpets.jpg
Number one, what does this do, which refutes everything that the Jews have to say about the other ten tribes? The Jews say that the other ten tribes were absorbed into the Gentiles! In other words, they don't exist. But in:
Amos 9:9—God says: "For lo, I will command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations, as one shakes with a sieve, yet, not a grain shall fall to the earth."
So, they're still here today! Rev. 7 proves that they're here today, and here at the coming of Christ. Why? Because there are 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes that are saved! Then a great innumerable multitude!
This identifies them; these are the ones who are in captivity, but because they receive the Spirit of God administered by an angel, shows they have had to of repented.
Now then, when we come to Rev. 14 we find something entirely different. It's similar in some ways, but completely different otherwise.
Booklet: Who Are the 144,000? {truthofGod.org}
Revelation 14:1: "And I looked, and I beheld the Lamb standing on Mount Sion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father's name written on their foreheads." It doesn't say that of the 144,000 in Rev. 7.
Verse 2: "Then I heard a voice from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of great thunder; and I heard the sound of lyre players playing their lyres. And they were singing a new song before the Throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. And no one was able to learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand, who were redeemed from the earth" (vs 2-3).
So, the difference here is that these are from different nations of the earth, not the 144,000 of Rev. 7.
Verse 4: "These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins; they are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes…[where ever Christ led them to go, they followed] …They were purchased from among men…[not just Israel] …as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb."
There's no timeframe given when this occurred. So, this could have occurred over the whole span of time from the beginning of the Church till the return of Christ.
Verse 5: "And no guile wasfound in their mouths; for they are blameless before the Throne of God."
They are probably (speculation) the ones who will be the Bride of Christ, because they are virgins. When you go back to Rev. 2 & 3 you look at the churches there. Out of the seven only two were not accused of having problems. The Church at Smyrna suffered a lot of persecution and martyrdom; second church. Then the sixth church—Philadelphians! Only those two were not defiled with women!
Pergamos was right at Satan's capital and inculcating some of the practices of the heathen and eating things sacrificed to idols and they had a hierarchical ministry.
Thyatira went through more things and had such terrible problems that Christ said to the woman Jezebel who brought in the false doctrines and she didn't repent… It's very interesting that Jezebel is probably the Catholic Church, undoubtedly. She caused many of the brethren to sin, eating things sacrificed to idols.
God says, 'I gave Jezebel space to repent.' Not many people know this, but to combat Protestantism, the Catholics setup the Council of Trent. That lasted for decades. But within that, there was a party of Catholics who wanted to follow what the Protestants were saying, 'solo scriptura' and they wanted to get rid of all idols.
Very few people know that! But as you can read in the booklet, or Appendix N in the Faithful Version Bible: Rome's Challenge to the Protestants, that because the Protestants kept Sunday, but not the Sabbath; therefore, it proved to the Catholics that Scripture and tradition could be kept. That's why they never repented!
Sardis was dead
Laodicea—a lot of them were not converted. Jesus said that 'If anyone hears My voice, when they repent of being lukewarm, and opens the door, I will come into him and will sup with him.'
This means that they opened the door of their mind to be zealous, to love God, repent of their sins and then Christ will put His Spirit in them! That tells us that a lot of Laodiceans do not have the Spirit of God in them, but perhaps with them, and it may include a good number of Protestants. But they all have to repent!
So, the difference between the 144,000 of Rev. 7 and Rev. 14 is that Rev. 14 is not from the 12 tribes of Israel specifically!
Q—Our daughters and many other women have had miscarriages, which I a very hard thing for a mother to go through. At what period of time will she get to raise her baby?
I do not know! We know about everyone being raised at the second resurrection, so that's probably when it will be, at the end of the Millennium.
We don't find anything that it's at the beginning of the Millennium. So, we can't create another doctrine by saying that that could be so. But remember this: when all of them are raised—and this is God's answer to all the evil of abortion—in spite of all of their evil, God has not forgotten any that were aborted and killed in the womb.
He will resurrect them undoubtedly to full term babies. Whenever there is a conception, what that person is going to be is sealed and locked at that time. Everything about that individual is in that smallest bit of substance as it's called in the Bible, and has the spirit of man. That's what God is going to use to resurrect them!
I know what you're saying/asking in this, and let's hope that we can understand these things more.
Q—Abortion—the failure of the Constitution
Just like with the Word of God, and anything else, if there are instructions that are to be followed, if you don't follow them you won't get the results you want.
Satanist are claiming that they're entitled to have abortion as a religious rite. If they had the judgment in the law that there should not be abortions and there should not be satanist churches, this would not be a problem.
But when you have it that you can't discriminate against any religion then evil will abound!

Q—Cremation vs burial
Since the cost of burying someone today is very expensive.
We had some insurance for Dolores, but it cost a total of everything over $15,000 for that burial.
What if you don't have insurance? Or relatives to help? What if the only thing left is cremation. Is it wrong to cremate?
Well, let's look at it this way: What happens when the body is buried and in the ground? Dust you are and until dust you shall return! If you're in the ground it takes a lot longer. How does that happen? Well, I don't know! What about those buried at sea? What happens to them? Sharks eat them! What are you going to do with that?
- Ecc. 12 has to do with the spirit in man
- 1 Cor. 2 says that there is a spirit in man
We know that that is what gives us life! Everything we do is recorded on the spirit of man. Every human being has that.
Ecclesiastes 12:6: "Before the silver cord is loosed…[referring to age] …or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern; and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it" (vs 6-7).
When someone dies the spirit immediately goes to God's keeping. For those who are converted:
- What happens when someone in the Church dies and their spirit returns to God?
- What does God do with it?
It's spirit and we don't know how big it is. Think in reverse:
- When we were conceived how big were we? A small speck of dust you couldn't see with the naked eye!
- Did it have the spirit of man in it? Yes!
- Did it have anything on it? No it didn't!
- What happens if you're born, you're in the world? 1-Cor. 2 says that you understand the things of man by the spirit of man that is in you, and things of God you understand with the Spirit of God!
- What happens to the Spirit of God and your spirit? They were united at baptism and had hands laid on you!!
Hebrews 12:22: "But you have come to Mount Sion…"—that's in heaven above!
That doesn't refer to Mt. Zion or Mt. Sinai where they received the Ten Commandments.
"…and to the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem; and to an innumerable company of angels" (v 22).
We don't know how many angels there are! Read the last part of Rev. 5. Everything in heaven and on earth and the sea and under the earth sing praises to God!
Verse 23: "To the joyous festival gathering; and to the Church of the Firstborn…" Those raised from the dead at the first resurrection!
"…registered in the Book of Life in heaven…" (v 23).
- Where does God store the spirits of those who died in the faith? Somewhere up there at the altar of God!
- How much room does it take? We don't know!
If you think of all of us as a little speck that could not be seen:
- How much space would that take up for all human beings that have ever lived and died? Probably not much!
"…and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the just who have been perfected" (v 23).
There they are right at the altar of God! That's what happens! That being said:
If you have a place for all of the converted where their spirits go when they die, in order to resurrect people who will be in the second resurrection who have not committed the unpardonable sin, have to have their spirits stored someplace, as well. Otherwise, they couldn't be resurrected. Let's take it one step further:
- Does God know all of the incorrigible wicked?
- What is their fate? The second death!
That means they have to live again so there's got to be a place where God has stored the spirits of all of the incorrigible wicked to be saved for the resurrection to be in the flesh so that all the wicked down through time, who have failed to repent and rebelled against God—will be thrown into the Lake of Fire at the same time.
To answer the question about cremation: if you have the money to be buried, that's the best way to go. But if you don't have the money to be buried, and the only way it can be handled is with cremation, that does not take away from God's ability to resurrect the individual.
Since the spirit goes back to God, which is the most important thing, then what happens to the flesh in cremation, it goes back to dust much quicker than being in the grave.
Q—During the Millennium, if one decides that he or she doesn't want to follow God, they'll be exiled to Gog and Magog. After being exiled can they still have children?
No, because the whole pattern would have to be repeated again and again! Probably in the second resurrection, there will be no children begotten and born. But there will be many, many children and infants that have been killed down through history that will be resurrected also, and they will have parents who will take care of them, being resurrected themselves.
Think about a woman who comes to consciousness, having aborted a baby, and if she enters into the Kingdom of God at the first resurrection, when the second resurrection comes there's her baby. If she was not in the Church of God the mother will be resurrected and the baby will be resurrected and we'll give the baby back to the mother full term. Have to be! (but speculation)
Sidebar: When I was down in Los Angeles and pastoring Torrance and Santa Monica. Dave Brady got me on ABC Religion on the Line (radio program) that ran from 11p.m. to 12 p.m. and I was on there four weeks in a row. A little Jewish woman called in and said that she lost her grandchild and will never see it again. The rabbi couldn't answer the question. I said to the rabbi, 'May I answer the question.' He said yes.
So I told this lady about the second resurrection. That she will see her grandchild again. I read in Ezekiel 37. Then she said, 'Rabbi, is that so?' he replied that since it was in Ezek. he had to say 'yes.' He couldn't say no.
Q—Exo. 20:4—idolatry
The first four words tell us everything we need to know that's going to be coming after that.
Exodus 20:4: "You shall not make for yourselves any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters under the earth. You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands of those who love Me and keep My commandments" (vs 4-6)—that's New Testament doctrine!
What did Jesus say? If you love Me, keep the commandments, namely Mine (John 14).
If I wear a cross because it's a constant reminder to focus on the magnitude of Christ's sacrifice; I absolutely know that it has no power or to treat it as an item to worship. Is it still okay to wear?
Let's read the first four words again: "You shall not make…" orget from someone else who made it for you. So, you don't need to wear it!
The way you have a constant reminder of the sacrifice of Christ is your daily relationship with God through prayer and Bible study!
You can include that in your prayer! What did Jesus say about the model prayer? Let's look at it! This model prayer is a daily outline, not just to be repeated verbatim all the time. It's an outline on how we are to pray. All of this comes by:
- prayer
- study
- experience
- meditation
- thinking on the laws and commandments of God
- think on the words of the New Testament
Matthew 6:9: "Therefore, you are to pray after this manner…"
Protestants, listen up! Doesn't say, 'Oh, Jesus…' It says:
"…'Our Father…'"
1-John tells us that if we don't have the Father and the Son… So, if the Jews say they have the Father but not the Son, they have no relationship with God.
If the Protestants say that 'we have Jesus' but you don't have any relationship with the Father, then you're missing the whole point of what Jesus said.
In John 16 Jesus said that 'now you can pray to the Father in My name.' He revealed it right back here in Matt. 6:9.
Verse 9: "…'Our Father, Who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name; Your Kingdom come; Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven" (vs 9-10).
What are we doing right here?
- we're honoring God
- we're praising God
- we're asking for God's will in our lives
Isn't that true? God's will! "…Your will be done on earth…" When we pray that means in our lives! "…as it is in heaven."
- Isn't God's will always done in heaven?
- What happened when Lucifer didn't do the will of God? He was cast down!
Verse 11: "Give us this day our daily bread…[everything we eat daily comes from God] …and forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but rescue us from the evil one…." (vs 11-13)
- this does not mean that we won't have troubles
- this doesn't mean that you won't have trials
This temptation is being delivered into the hands of the evil one! That's why it says, "…and rescue us from the evil one…"
"…For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen (v 13).
The answer is simple, no you do not need a cross!
Regarding home décor: If I have a theme in my house, say buffalo pictures and figurines everywhere, seeing them only reminds me of the fascinating and artistic mind God has had to create such a powerful beast. Am I breaking the second commandment?
Only if you bow down to them and worship them! It's not wrong to have an image of a buffalo. But I'll tell you this, I like bison burger best; it's good!
Q—Is there any Biblical reason that one should not donate their body to a medical school? What about donating organs?
Well, I would say it's best not to do it. After all, you're mixing genetics. The only ones that are not mixing genetics are identical twins, and they have been known to transfer one kidney to the other twin and it's successful!
However, the first thing to do is this: take care of your body, watch what you eat. Make sure you get the things that you need.
I would say that if you live long enough and old enough, your organs aren't worth donating in the first place.
