Here are the ages of the mothers of the first grade students in the class in Sandy Hook Elementary School that were supposedly murdered  by Adam Lanza.  What should the average age of a mother be in a kindergarten class?

When a Youtuber put this information of her Youtube account, she was informed that an individual complained and that they gave her 48 hours to take it down.  This made her angry.  Nothing was incorrect.  She said that it is easy to find out how old anyone is in today’s world.  That was what she did.

It is very unusual to have mothers that are this old to have a child that is 6 years old in one class.  No one in their twenties?  Only a couple in their thirties?  The remainder in their forties; several close to fifty years old?

Scripture Reading: Revelation 2:9

The word 'jew' is the most confusing word in the Bible and it's because of those who call themselves jews who want us confused.  They invented the word and we're stuck with it, like it or not.  Had Rev. 2:9 been honestly translated, you would read it as Judean or Judahite, signifying only one of the twelve tribes of Israel, the tribe of Judah.  Therefore, John is revealing to us the blasphemy of an entire group of people known as jews impersonating something which they cannot legitimately claim i.e. the tribe of Judah.  The interpretation of this verse is not talking about any other group of people in the world today except those who call themselves jews and play this scam of assuming a false identity.  John says they are “the synagogue of satan.”  There is only one religion in the world that meets in a synagogue and that is judaism, attended by jews.  Because of this insidious identity theft, John characterizes them as satanic; the very adversaries of God on earth today.  It can only be a losing proposition when the bona fide tribe of Judah and hence all twelve tribes of Israel are deprived of their biblical identity.  And the truth becomes even more astounding from a Christian Identity perspective when we correctly identify the tribe of Judah as Germany, which in times past meant “genuine” as applied to the Scythians i.e. Israelites who were dispersed from the Assyrian captivity and migrated into the territories of Anglo Saxon Europe.  The Saxons were descended from the Sacae of Scythia, and their name meant 'sons of Isaac.'  The propensity of jews to name their children after biblical characters to give the impression that jews were somehow connected to God's chosen people was convincingly argued against with the advent of Adolph Hitler and the express Christian character of the German people.    The jews couldn't possibly be a holy people with their track record of being a profane and vile people whom God said He would have indignation against them forever (Mal. 1:4).  When you hear the phrase “den of vipers,” that's who it's talking about... jews.  “Ye shall know them by their fruits” Mt. 7:16.  The majority of people today believe jews are Israel, not because it's the truth, but because of the enormity of outrageous jewish propaganda.

Scripture Reading:  Exodus 7:22 
 

In the story of the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, we have the magicians of Egypt duplicating three of the miracles from God that Moses proclaimed that He would do against the Egyptians.   Many Christians are unaware that the magicians of Egypt could do some of the miracles that God could do:

• Rods turned into serpents (Exodus 7:11-13)
• Turning of the water to blood (Exodus 7:22)
• Bringing up of frogs (Exodus 8:7)

In fact, if the Christians reads closely he will see that it just wasn’t just the magicians, but the wise men, sorcerers and the magicians that were called by Pharaoh (Exodus 7:11).  What was the difference between them?

1. Wise men:  men of learning; men who knew the occult arts.
2. Sorcerers:  men who revealed hidden secrets; to uncover.
3. Magicians:  men who were decipherers or interpreters of the hieroglyphic writings found in books containing magic formulas that belonged to the Pharaoh.

Exodus 7:11:  “Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers:  now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.”

Let’s recreate the scene in our mind:  Aaron took his rod and cast it before Pharaoh and his servants and it became a serpent.  Then Pharaoh called his wise men, sorcerers and magicians and they also threw their rods on the ground and they became serpents.  So we have a tie:  we have all of these serpents slithering on the ground:  one serpent from Aaron’s rod and the other serpents from Pharaoh’s occult crowd.  But it didn’t remain a tie; for Aaron’s rod (serpent) swallowed up their rods (serpents)!  This proved that God’s power is greater than the power of the magicians.

But this also shows us that the occult does have some power.  They can perform some of these miracles in like manner with their enchantments.  The magicians, wise men and sorcerers in the future will bring down fire from heaven and do various kinds of miracles to deceive even the elect.  Does this also include the healing of the sick?

The First Three Shepherds of Israel

Scripture Reading: Numbers 28:15-23

We are near the ending of the 40 years of wandering of the children of Israel in the wilderness after their miraculous exodus from Egypt.  It is almost time for them to cross the Jordan River and to do battle against the inhabitants of the Promised Land.  They had already completely destroyed all of the Amorites who were living on the East portion of the Jordan River.

Part 1 The First Three Shepherds of Israel:  Israel had a government that no other nation on the face of the earth ever had.  It was known as a Theocracy.  It was in existence for about 1400 years but Israel wanted another kind of government.  They rejected God as their King so they could be like all the other nations.

Part 2 The Big Question: how many years was Israel under a theocracy?  When did they switch to a Monarchy?  The Bible tells a fantastic story of Israel's history. What is the major question that the average Christian doesn't even know?  Find out when you read this sermon.

Part 3 The Books of the Bible:  Ken Hamm equates "inter-racial" marriage with the marriage of a Christian with a non-Christian.  What is wrong with this?  And who were the people who plotted and attempted to kill Jesus Christ, according to the Bible?

Scripture Reading: John 1:1-5

Last September our church went to Indiana for a picnic lunch and to visit the wife of a dear friend of ours who died suddenly in a terrible auto accident about a year ago.   Well, the womenfolk gravitated to the living room and the men were outside talking Christian Identity.  I moseyed into the house and saw all the women, so I sat next to my wife and asked what have you been talking about and she said, “an interesting discussion about heaven,” to which I replied by putting my arm around her and saying, “Well, here's a little slice of heaven for ya.”  And all of a sudden, they all broke out in hysterical laughter, much to my perplexing chagrin.  I asked what are they laughing about?  Evidently, they were into a serious subject and in walks a man who makes a rather flippant remark that breaks the ice.  Later, my wife suggested I do a sermon on heaven and voila, I have a ready-made title ready to go.  Many of us have lost loved ones in recent times so I think this message will not only help me with the loss of my mother and father, but others I know who are going through the same experience.  I got to thinking that I haven't read anything in CI about heaven since Pastor Sheldon Emry.  It's probably because the Bible doesn't say a whole lot about the heaven, which we know as God's abode, although heaven can mean many other things, in spite of a plethora of denominational garbage that takes way too much latitude in preying upon people's emotions, failing to rightly divide the word of truth.  Heaven sometimes just means the sky or an elevated place of authority.  And there's probably nothing more ingrained in people's psyche than what they think about the hereafter, other than perhaps Christmas.  It's a tough nut to crack.

Scripture Reading: 2 Timothy 4:3-4

Who is today's Scripture reading about?  When is this going to happen or has it already happened?  “They shall turn away their ears from the truth” means that they will not listen to the historical, biblical account, but instead they would believe a foolish or improbable story.

Did that happen in Timothy’s day or has it reoccurred over and over down through the centuries?  I used to belong to a church that taught that the Laws of God were nailed to the cross of Jesus Christ.  That, they said, meant that we do not have to obey His laws because they are now put away--abolished.  The only thing that now matters is Jesus and you must believe in Him.  I don’t think they considered the consequences of this doctrine!

Scripture Reading:  Revelation 18:4

The Church and its Music

The church began with their singing of the Psalms that are found in the middle of their Bible.  The Psalms were put to music and the congregation sang the praises to our God.  Over the last several hundreds of years new hymns were written; some good, some bad.  But in the last fifty years, something new has slipped into the churches:  the singing of rock ‘n’ roll.  The church is drawing closer and closer to the world and not to God.  The church is serving other gods and not the God of the Bible.  The church has learned the way of the heathen.
