The Wake-up Herald

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. Romans 13:11-14

Scripture Reading:  Jeremiah 30:10-11

We are living in very changing and dangerous times.  The main law enforcer of our nation (Eric Holder) was found to be in contempt of Congress and the Supreme (?) Court of the United States ruled that Obamacare is a tax and therefore is constitutional by a vote of 5-4.  Remember that the Secretary of the Treasury owed the I.R.S. $31,000 that he had to pay before he could take up that office.  Does anyone still believe that the Constitution of the United States is divine?

A lot of the western United States is burning up with uncontrollable fires and the northern part of Florida is under flood conditions.  About 2/3 of the United States is having temperatures between 95-108 degrees.  June was LGBT month in the United States.  In Israeli, they crowned their first “Miss Holocaust Survivor.” I don’t know how they got any contestants if it was a genocide camp as they claim.  I think that our God is judging America and the rest of the Israel nations. 

We will go back in time and study a time in history where we can gain some strength.  We will go back almost 3,000 years when those who were Israel were living in just about as bad a situation as we are today.  And it was when the LORD God asked Jeremiah a question that he answered with an emphatic No!

Scripture Reading: Acts 12:1-4

We have been blessed to have some of the best preachers in the world come to our church; Pastor Everett Ramsey, the late Arnold Kennedy, Pastor Ken Kemble, Brian Jones, and William Finck are  some of the many examples of men who have visited with us.  These men are men whom God has given the ability to search the Scriptures and to tell what they have been taught; no matter what the people think about it.  I don’t mean this negatively, but they put out what they know and leave it up to the people to believe in it on their own time.  They know that it is our GOD that gives the increase.  This message will expand on one of the topics that these men believed and taught. 

There are two major errors in misunderstanding or misinterpreting the meaning in Scripture:

1.  Not understanding the context of the message,
2.  Mistranslation of the word or words.

Scripture Reading: Matthew 23:24-28

As an artist, it is not difficult to appreciate Michelangelo’s monumental masterpiece in the Sistine Chapel.  It is no secret that Michelangelo’s relationship with the RCC became strained. The artist was a simple man, but he grew to detest the opulence and corruption of the Church. In two places in the masterpiece, Michelangelo left self portraits, both of them depicting himself in torture. He gave his own face to Saint Bartholomew’s body martyred by being skinned alive.  Michelangelo was a devout person, but later in life he developed a belief in Spiritualism (not to be confused with spiritism), for which he was condemned by Pope Paul IV. The fundamental tenet of Spiritualism is that the path to God can be found not exclusively through the Church, but through direct communication with God. Pope Paul IV interpreted Michelangelo’s Last Judgment, painted on the wall of the Sistine Chapel 20 years after completing the ceiling, as defaming the church by suggesting that Jesus and those around him communicated with God directly without need of Church. 

Likewise, Jesus showed great courage in identifying the hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees as whited sepulchers, a practice that lost the ceremonial import of Levitical defilement around places of unclean corpses and turned into beautification projects as if to honor the prophets to whom the Lord accused them of murdering.

Scripture Reading: Mark 7:1-7

In Part 1, we learned that the Roman Catholic Church was not the first church in Christendom and that Peter was not the first Pope.  Most students of Christian Identity know that the first above ground church was in Glastonbury, England.  Thanks to Joseph of Arimathea, Britain was the first of all kingdoms to receive the Gospel. This was confirmed by the Church Councils of Pisa (1409), Constance (1417), Sienna (1424) and Basle (1434) that maintained, "The churches of France and Spain, must yield in point of antiquity and precedence to that of Britain, as the latter church was founded by Joseph of Arimathea immediately after the passion of Christ".  The RCC was established on a foundation of lies and a corruption of the Word of God.
