I'm a retired doctor specializing in spinal and head trauma. Even though you have quit, you're still high-risk cancerous tumors. Find a great doctor and have him do yearly blood testing.
@@kellywithawhy3709 😂😂. When does he do that? And if that's a bad pastor, then is Jesus a bad teacher? Cause He litterally said we have to forsake all for Him. Even our family. And if our family members try to keep us from God, we have to choose Him. But nonetheless please give a link where he says this, we can't accuse without evidence
Thank you Pastor Doug. I have finally converted as Seventh Day Adventist because of your teachings. You made me understand the bible with your excellent knowledge about God's word. May our Heavenly Jehovah and our savior Jesus Christ in unity with our blessed Holy spirit bless you continuously. 🙏🙏🙏
Hey Pastor Doug Batchelor am Zee-Kiir Bar-Jonnah from koboko in Uganda,... Your message is changing the lives of people in koboko because they say that the Adventist Church message can give hope and sense compared to other churches in this world
Hello and thank you for your comment! May God bless all those who are hearing the message there, and give them peace and guidance. - The Amazing Facts team
I am so thankful that you preach on this Pastor Doug. We need to hear more on this subject. Also on alcohol. Alcohol is harming so much .Especially today. Thank you
@@lesliea.m.5392 yes I realized! Pastor Doug or Amazing facts would never post this foolishness! By their fruits we shall know them. I clicked on the channel, nothing to show whereas Pastot Doug has lots of videos for ministry.
Raw broccoli is better than candy. Once you get the taste of it, it's heavenly! Thank God for our food, His goodness is never ending. Our genetics load the gun and our lifestyles pull the trigger. We can live a long healthy life by eating the way God designed us to eat. We may all die but we can die healthy.
Hi pastor, this is a blessed message, kindly do more health message like this for young people. My son is showing some improvement in his eating habit after listening to your health message. Please continue the good work.
God will give you a new body because Jesus Christ .the gospel is not about eating and drinking but our faith in our LORD JESUS CHRIST. I EAT healthy because it is good
Blessed be the Almighty God that gives us knowledge to live by. Thank you so much for this sermon which confirms the thoughts placed by the spirit in my heart. I wrestle with God and he showed me months ago these truths. I was being told by others same example of scriptures telling me to eat its ok. My spirit had told me, "if you want to eat these things then eat what is in your garbage can". Funny you mentioned garbage. Praise God in all his mighty Glory.🙏📖
Thank you for your comment! The Lord has promised to bless and guide you in your journey with Him. Keep the faith of Jesus! You will be in our prayers. - The Amazing Facts team
Oh! I have desired to be in your church Teacher Barch.Gloryyyyy. watching u from Uganda inAfrica continent. Be blessed moreeee . "We do all for the Glory of God our Lord.Amen
I truly believe the importance of the clean and unclean. So many inn our church ignore,n and or justify the scripture on this matter. When I was a kid my parents could not understand why I would not eat m at etc. God programmed me with this particular scripture in me
I haven’t ate pork since 1997, after those seminars like this one. A thought I added is, ham is salty and pigs 🐖 don’t sweat; so where is that salty sweat going? Ewww! In adding: refraining from eating pork does not make me holy: but it makes me more healthy. “Jesus Christ” [is] the “One and Only to bring us salvation.”
I love every subject you cover, & the Word I hear enlightens my mind! Thank you & God's great blessings over you, your family, & the Amazing Facts ministry!
I’m new to the faith, but I’ve been vegetarian for six years. I have never once looked back, and made the choice because I love animals and couldn’t stomach the cruel and disgusting practices it took to get from factory farm to plate. Between chemically cleaning meat and beating animals senseless, I had already struggled as a child with the idea from the age of 7, and was finally allowed after being deeply obnoxious at age 12 to become vegetarian. It’s taught me to cook healthy, provide for myself and understand the processes of where my meals come from. If I have any advice for people making a change, learn recipes. Learn alternatives you can swap in and out. Take things in steps. Don’t begin with complicated recipes that rely on lots of prep and fancy ingredients. Learn how to take a few veggies or legumes and make them into a wide array of meals. You will succeed if you keep trying
Jack LaLanne was a personal friend of mine (and so is his wife Elaine today). Jack’s mother was a devout Seventh-day Adventist and raised him that way in his early years. Jack did some time attending school at Golden Gate Academy before transferring to a public high school so that he could go into competitive sports. He would often go to Pacific Union College to work. with the tumbling team, go into the boys dorm and show him all his muscles. You should have Elaine go on your show or interview her. She is one of my closest friends.

Hi Ryan! This happens because of the delay with multiple outputs when livestreaming. These programs will all be re-uploaded in full soon! - The Amazing Facts team
I don’t think we were meant to eat anything that requires heat to make it palatable or chewable. I also think SDAs are eating too many heavily sauced veggie dishes. Not to mention those salty Loma Linda products! I feel my best when I eat mostly fruit! In fact it wasn’t until after sin that God specifically mention herbs for food.
@@rayhchc6451 everything you mentioned can be eaten raw but aren’t needed for nutrition. Adam and Eve never used wood fire. We can live full healthy lives by eating things that are edible straight from the tree!
I heard from my cousin that is not forbidden today you can eat pork . That was true only in the Old Testament in the Bible . The number one thing that is a forbidden 🍖 meat is P- O - R - K !! That’s true but some of it is lower in calories than other parts of pork !! Thank you for this message !! I rather have venison , 🐻 bear , pheasant and very lean beef 🥩 !!
Thank you all for this great series! At about 50 minutes, Pastor Doug said, "Technically, pigeons are unclean..." Normally I would assume he misspoke, except that he inserted "technically," which could mean that this case differs from the usual. Don't y'all have a technician who can insert a banner onto the screen for, like, a minute after a mistake is made? Anyway, blessings to y'all for your work of love! :)
I was doing all that from teens to about age 28, found this message, surrendered it to the LORD, and He set me free. 40 plus years clean and sober, only by the grace of Gods saving grace! He can save anybody if he saved me.
Jesus speaks in the ears too. I believe people are scared to hear the voice of God like Deuteronomy chapter 5, that they rather hear their ministers. God is love, and no correction to be set straight by Him who created the ear, mind, body, and soul. We should eat right and be sober, so none can speak against, mocking the men of God as in Acts 2.
I have a few words of encouragement in the midst of what's going on. It might sound wierd, but it is for real and I thought that it would be important to say it. Its long because I've tried to and any faqs! Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions - Why can't evil be forgiven and let off, how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything? To you? if you still have any questions let me know x Do you ever struggle? Or doubt that God Loves You After what you've done? Do you wonder if He even exists for that matter? Read this: Every one of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count as stealing), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human! You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23 What is that "glory", morally speaking? Well, the opposite of human nature and desires. Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us. But if its God's standard and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it? Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, but after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God's morals, standard, and love. So while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The Bible even makes it clear that "apart from God you can do nothing" - John 15:5. Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things. Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it? The Bible describes God as a "righteous judge", many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil. This means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death - expressing His hatred of evil - and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell. "The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20 But God, who is also love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to bear the guilt, pain and be cut off from perfection forever through damnation. Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin. God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us). God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely as if He was the picture of mankind's sin itself so that we do not have to be punished. Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf). So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH. "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortally and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25,26 ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone. Religion = rules to be saved The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out. ...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? What does it actually mean for us? It means we can be completely free from the penalty of damnation. Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life. What does this new way of life entail? It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39. Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose. Sound "opposite" again? God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature. We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God) Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts of love and truth and conviction, verses, ideas, prayers and He guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him. "With man it is impossible, but with God, NOTHING is impossible!" - Matthew 19:26 What is the way FOR though? Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations. Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15. Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world. The path He wants you to walk is a path of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation. All we need is faith. The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived. God preferred His own Son to be tortured And *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him. What if I still find myself sinning after I have accepted Christ? That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus. It's a process - a lifelong process - of God bringing you back to Him, away from the destructive pleasures of sin (greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This process takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame. Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful. "those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37 ...HOW DO I LEARN MORE? Don't know where to start? Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (if you want a more detailed account of it all). Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6 Regardless of what goes on down here, God knows, Jesus has been down here and felt all the emotions you are feeling. You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you. Even in the storm, God is still there, walking on the water alongside you! Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". - John 3:16 Thanks for reading if you did. I just felt that I should tell you regardless. Let me know if you have any more questions or if you need any clarification on anything. Xxx
Please read the whole message, even if you’ve been saved. First accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior; confess that He suffered and died for your sins on the cross. Then start repenting of your sins because we all have sinned and transgressed God's laws. Read the received texts like KJV and keep God's 10 Laws which includes Sabbath (resting from Friday Sunset until Saturday Sunset[7th day{Genesis 2:2-3}]). The Bible teaches that thee Antichrist is the Papacy. The mark of the beast is Forced Sunday rest & the banning of Sabbath [7th day] Rest. It takes courage to be in the army of Christ. The battle lines are drawn: you either choose God by keeping Sabbath or Satan by keeping Sunday. We will go through persecution and tribulation and Satan isn’t stupid, don’t underestimate Him; He can transform himself into an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14): He won’t be coming in like some angel of darkness and his ministers of darkness will portray themselves as ministers of righteousness. Satan is showing all this evil to then come in as the good guy for you to join in unity in error-but you’ll think you’ll be worshipping God. Satan uses a lot of truth and mixes a little bit of error for your destruction. People will think they’re doing God’s work when they persecute God’s Sabbath keeping people. My brothers and sisters in Christ in the Catholic Church, those in Sunday keeping churches and for people that don’t know Jesus but are looking for the way, the life and truth-please come out of Babylon and repent of your sins before it's too late! But don't trust what I say; read and study the Bible to find out. I know what I said sounds harsh, I’m not trying to be, and I mean this with the upmost respect and kindness towards you and all of God’s beautiful creation of mankind-both in the body of Christ and outside the body of Christ. God bless! Sabbath day was not created for Israel: As God's people they needed to keep His Law's because God chose them. It was created before Israel and it's for all mankind who choose the True Living God, through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. Us Christians call Jesus King, which He is: A King has laws for His kingdom; 10 Perfect Laws our God created, which includes Sabbath (A day He sanctified, so you can’t say there’s any day of the week to rest with God: The day He set is the seventh day), and are part of His character. So if you choose Sunday rest when it's enforced (Mark of the beast) by the Antichrist (Roman Catholic Papacy-read Daniel 2&7&8 and Revelation 13 for information on the antichrist and the core of Bible Prophecy to understand):you are then breaking our Kings’ Laws. Keeping and resting on Sabbath along with, if you can congregate, always will mean you are choosing God and His authority in your life. Choosing Sunday now, since it hasn't been enforced, means you're knowingly or unknowingly choosing Satan's authority. But many will say, well Paul and the others broke bread on the first day of the week... Yeah you should worship God everyday and break bread with your brothers and sisters in Christ every once in a while, but Sabbath is the day of rest, hallowed and sanctified by God: The Seal to His Laws. The whole Bible says basically if you love God then keep his Commandments. Jesus died on the cross (Grace and Pardon) because we have sinned (transgressed His Law's[1 John 3:4]). So it's all about God's laws and Jesus saving us from our sin (His Sacrifice to pardon us and to save us for the Transgression of Gods’ Laws). Oh and yes, we are free from the Mosaic & Ceremonial laws when He died on the cross, but not God's Laws (Ten Commandments are in Exodus Chapter 20): we still keep them. We are saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ: We keep Gods’ Laws as a consequence of being saved. Love you, God bless. The book of Daniel in the Old Testament is the key to truly understanding the Book of Revelation; make sure to remember that every day in prophecy equals a year (Ezekiel 4:6 & Numbers 14:34). Book of Revelation is a chiasmus {[Looks like this(\/)](\Historical&Eschatological/)}also; this information will help you to understand the makeup of the way Revelation is written, along with The Book of Daniel. God bless with your search for truth (The word of God, Ten Commandments, and Jesus is the way, the truth and the life) my brothers and sisters in Christ-ask God in prayer what truth is and to ask for the spirit of prophecy, and for help to understand His Word. People that say it’s okay to break Sabbath and to keep Sunday or other days is an enemy of God; however, many have been deceived and God understands, please ask God for spiritual discernment. Don’t trust me, only Trust Jesus Christ, His Word and His Commandments. God bless! P.S. Look up Total Onslaught with Walter Veith and Discover Prophecy with David Asscherick: Two lecture series for those who don’t have any understanding of Biblical Prophecy and those that do have some knowledge of prophecy and the war that’s going on; other great lectures for you to watch are Rekindling the Reformation, Darkness before Dawn, and In the stream of Time-all by Walter Veith, also watch this wonderful series called What’s up Prof with Walter Veith and Martin Smith as they use the Word of God and apply it to modern things going on for the times we live in now. It’s okay to hate me and I know I repeat myself a lot, that’s how important God wants you to know about keeping His Ten Laws including Sabbath, but please don’t hate the Truth- if it’s Truth, then it’s worth buying. I’m not better or wiser, I’m most pathetic, but because God cares about you and He is wanting seeds of truth to be in your heart for when you see the blatant truth of what really is going on, God shall be your growth and His Word a Lantern unto your feet in the spiritually dark world we live in. Please love your enemies that do great evil towards you, we are no better, we are all sinners. Please share this message if you want to. Revelation 14:6-12 6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. 8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. 9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Pastor Doug, after 50+ sermons/presentations which I loved and appreciated ... then this one !!! Nothing is backed up by scripture, all examples from the Bible so vague. You have not eaten meat in 40 years, never felt better according . How would you know ? Its been 40.0000 years Would appreciate straight scripture telling us not to eat meat ... would be much appreciated. Thank you and kind regards Michael ... South Africa
Romans 14:21 NKJV “It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.” Proverbs 12:10 “Good people take care of their animals, but even the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.” Isaiah 66:17 NKJV ““Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves, To go to the gardens After an idol in the midst, Eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse, Shall be consumed together,” says the LORD.”
“Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenances of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat and as thou seest, deal with thy servants” (Daniel 1:12-13). Try looking at this chapter in Daniel. I think it will help. Wikipedia says ..."Pulses include beans, lentils and peas." However we know Jesus ate fish along with grains and such. It depends on where you live as to what foods are available. God does not want to starve you or for you to be weak and unhealthy. Ask God and He will guide you!
Hello Pastor Batchelor, I am from Port-of-Spain, Trinidad & I am loving all your presentations. I have a question, concerning with Timothy & Romans question & answer. Home here most places provide 'Halla' meats to accommodate the Muslims, should we part take of such meats, that are 'Halla'?
Great question! We invite you to submit it to us on our website by using the link below, and you will receive a response. God bless you. - The Amazing Facts team www.amazingfacts.org/about-us/bible-questions
You cant actually suggest just veggies they are so covered with chemicals. As so you're water. We all need some salt , sugar and fat , to stay healthy. God bless you !
Why does Paul tell Timothy to drink a little wine for his stomach's sake and for frequent ailments? And why doesn't Paul say anything to the Gentile Christians about eating clean/unclean foods?
Is it wrong for one to pray in tongues and ask others to do so even if it sounds like babel? If so how can I explain this to my friend.? Ty for all your help.
Don't be discouraged, Erica! The Lord has promised to be by your side every day, He wants to be in your life no matter how unworthy you feel. You are His precious child! You will be in our prayers, may the Lord bless and guide your journey. - The Amazing Facts team
Africans need salvation too. Why not translate the programs into some African languages like Shona, Wolof, Oromo, Isizulu, Fang, Hausa, Ndebele, Yoruba etc?
Excellent question! We invite you to submit it to us on our website by using the link below and you will receive a response. God bless you. - The Amazing Facts team www.amazingfacts.org/about-us/bible-questions
Daniel 1:8 refers to not eating "meat", food from a king that had made them slaves. No where in the Bible does it say not to eat meat. It says that God made the world and all on it for man. For us.

These verses talks about God words that he had spoken to Noah in Deut 14, Lev 11 , Gen 7 v2 his words sanctified it already so you praying will not change God nor his word ECC 3 v 14
I used to also. But I like living without those things much more now. It was a little hard for a little while, but I am thankful I heard about this 40 years ago and began to make a lifestyle turnaround by Gods grace and His help. He loves us more than we realize!
Well, its not boasting in my strength, because it's not my strength. But im boasting in the grace and love of Jesus who give us power to overcome when we admit we see our need. I knew I needed to change. I needed His help for drinking, drugs, many harmful things, and He helped me one step at a time. He cares very much for our health. He will make way for us if we want to try a better way.
@@hewehawi Honey, all im doing is commenting to your comments, like if we were sitting down visiting and sharing our viewpoint. That's the beauty of these comments, is that we can share our experiences, strength and hope. But the weakness of this format is that we can't see the facial expressions that convey the heart of the person. If u and I were sitting down sharing a nice cup of herb tea, and visiting, we could laugh, and chat about day to day things, and even share our heart on important topics. And have an enjoyable time. That's the calm atmosphere I think everyone needs to be able to experience in these times, and there's far too little of it. I hope u have joy and the peace of God in your life today, snd above all, the Love of God in your heart! Thats what is the biggest blessing of all.

It is not ok to talk about people like that. Their sin is food. Yours sin is your mouth! They may have been overweight before joining the church. Being skinny isn't a prerequisite to entering the kingdom... loving your brother is 😝
SDA's(like me) are Samaritan Woman Mentality..Jesus/Yahusha..said; The Water that I will give you is a Living Water that you will never thirst again....Drawing water from Jacobs well so deep and murky..a woman with 6 husbands(5 books of Moses plus Daniel)....Jesus RE-set the Timeline into BC and A.D...He said , I am the Alpha and Omega...and why did Jesus single out Himself, when there are 3 Creators?..because He is/was standing in the middle of the Infinite Time..His presence on earth was the Zero...The 12 Tribes were harvested already from 0 -1260 AD...and from 1260 A.D. to the present is for the Last Generation...Behold ,He comenth with the Clouds ,any hour, anyday in year 2022...Be safe!
But you have no idea, why Banks are associated with Rivers, as in river banks or banks of the river...By the Rivers of Babylon the song..The Mighty Money Tree called Petro-Dollar is growing in the river banks of Babylon...and that is the main diet of those living in the Beast with lamb-like horns and later this Beast became the False Prophet!
Wormwood What they’ve all gotten wrong about prophecy and The Bible... For thousands of years, man has sought the face of God, and studied scripture, listening for His voice. The mind of God is high above us, yet we are to have the mind of Christ. His ways are higher than our ways, His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. Daniel was told to shut up the books of the prophecy he was given, for it was not for his time, but for many days. They were given for the last days. The Lord Jesus spoke of the last days, the days before His return. We are told no man will know the day or the hour, but we are also told that we are not of those who sit in darkness, that that day should overtake us like a thief. We are the children of light, and it is clear to all who believe, we are living in the last days... Chapter One: “The pure words of God...” “The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.” Psalms 12:6 KJV. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”. Jesus Christ is the Author and finisher of our faith. He is the beginning and the end, the first and the last, the Alpha and Omega. The last words He spoke to us, at the end of the last book of His Word were... “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Revelation 22:18-19 KJV. Sadly, America has done just that. It was God Himself who dispersed man at the Tower of Babel, creating different languages. The English language has been the most significant language in the history of the world, and in the work of The Lord. His Word, delivered in the English language over 400 years ago in such a miraculous way, spread the gospel throughout the world, translated it into all the languages, and has done such significant work for The Lord’s Kingdom. What pride and greed in the heart of man to dare think of changing God’s Word! And what blindness to allow such a thing. Satan has deceived the children of men. He has crept into the very Word of God, and into the house of God, and into the hearts and souls of man. What calamities we have brought upon ourselves. The ones we are experiencing, and the ones that we are yet to experience. Prophecy cannot be discerned without The Holy Spirit, and the corrupted modern versions of The Bible today have not the Spirit of God. To seek The Truth, you must first have The Truth...
Chapter Two: “America Not In The Bible...” Not only is America prophesied in The Bible, she is a central figure in it. The Bible is about America, from beginning to end. Originally and ultimately about Israel, but significantly and powerfully about America. And then most importantly, about Jesus. “Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them. Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is in the coupling of the second; that the loops may take hold one of another.” Exodus 26:1, 5 KJV. The ark has been a vessel that has been spoken of throughout The Bible. It was where God dwelled, and where the Holiest of Holies were. It was used in Noah’s day to save mankind and the animals. “And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.” Genesis 7:1 KJV. The Lord Himself was in the ark with Noah, that is why He said “Come into the ark”. The ark is a picture of Christ Himself. We must abide in Him to be saved just like when the disciples were affright in the boat with Jesus. “And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.” Luke 8:24-25 KJV. Then The Lord ascended up to Heaven, and gave us His Word and The Holy Spirit to guide us and teach us. He ordained and miraculously founded this nation of America, and commissioned Her to do His will, to spread His Gospel, and evangelize the world. He blessed America and we became like unto an ark to the world. Saving the world through the gospel, saving the world during WWII, saving the world economically after the 2008 collapse, saving the world from ISIS, and called upon once again to save the world during these perilous times. But as precious in God’s heart as we have been, we, as a nation, have turned from our Creator and have grieved our Husband greatly. Defiling His Word with countless changes, murdering millions and millions of babies in the womb, completely destroying the sanctity of the family institution ordained by God in ways that are an absolute abomination to The Lord, living in idolatry, and drunkenness, and sorcery and witchcraft with all our various drugs and pharmaceuticals...we have become the great harlot of Revelation. “And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:” Revelation 17:1-4 KJV. Just as the ark of the covenant was draped in red, white and blue, here is the image of America, draped in red, white, and blue...
Chapter Three: “The Scarlet Colored Beast” “So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.” Revelation 17:3 KJV “And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.” Revelation 17:7-9 KJV The angel made it so clear to John, and yet, we have grappled with this “beast” for thousands of years. Seven mountains. And there are ten horns connected to these seven mountains. “And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.” Revelation 17:16 KJV This “beast” is Yellowstone super volcano on which America sits. It is a mega magma chamber filled with molten lava. It is the largest in the world. It is scarlet colored, and it shall burn America with fire. There will be great earthquakes, smoke, rocks falling from the sky, mountains burning and being cast into the sea, thunder, lightning, clouds, the sun and the moon and the stars darkened, and fire! All of this describes a volcanic event like the world has never known before. The Lord God Almighty shall do this, the same way He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. “And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.” Isaiah 13:19 KJV Jesus said, “...for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” Matthew 17:20 KJV. He was speaking literally. We do not have this kind of faith, but The Lord Almighty does, and he will...
Chapter Four: “The Antichrist” There are four verses in the King James Bible that refer to the term “antichrist”. None of these verses capitalize the term “antichrist” or refer to it as “The” antichrist. Man has read too much into this term, and modern versions of the Bible have over emphasized it by capitalizing it, referring to it as “The Antichrist”, painting it out to be this diabolical figure of the end times, wrongly ascribing it to concepts such as the “beast” and the “abomination of desolation” spoken of by Daniel. The truth is clear, and unadulterated...antichrist is anyone who is against Christ. Antichrist is a spirit of enmity towards Jesus Christ, denying that He has come in the flesh. Satan is the ultimate “antichrist”, for he is a liar and the father of lies. And he is a spreader of fear and deception. We as believers should not fear these things, but God only...
Chapter Five: “Abomination of Desolation” For many, many years, this mysterious phrase “abomination of desolation” has been thought to mean the imagined figure of “The Antichrist” standing in the rebuilt temple of Jerusalem defiling it. Again, this “figure” of antichrist is imagined and is not what this phrase refers to. Desolation is just that, destruction and desolation, and it is an abomination to The Lord. He does not want to bring such destruction, but it needs be because of the great evil that the world has become. The temple is our living bodies, as we are told in scripture. Israel itself and Jerusalem are “The Holy Place”. This description of this time as told by Christ Himself is directed primarily to the believing Jews living in Israel during the time of the seven year tribulation, after the world has been thrust into chaos and calamity with the total destruction of America. At the time of this great desolation, most of the world will have been destroyed, and the armies encamped around Israel will seek to once and for all destroy Her. And they will get close, except The Lord destroys them and saves 144,000 Jews alive. He destroys all these armies the same way He destroyed America and that side of the world, with the earth itself. We read in scripture that The Mount of Olives itself will be literally split in half. There will be a great earthquake and there will be two volcanic mountains that shall erupt causing the abomination of desolation. Those 144,000 Jews that heeded the warning and fled to the mountains of Petra shall be all that is left. They shall see The Lord coming in the clouds with great glory to set up His kingdom...
Chapter Six: “The Two Witnesses” The “two witnesses” spoken of in the eleventh chapter of the book of Revelation are not persons, such as Moses, Elijah, Enoch, etc., they are two volcanic mountains in Israel with which The Lord will use to smite the armies encamped around Jerusalem. “Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.” Zechariah 14:1-4 KJV. The mountains “prophesy”, that is, they show signs of impending eruption. Smoke billows out, and great fear falls on the people. They have already witnessed these geological events cause the complete destruction of America and large parts of the world, and they fear for their lives. There is some attempt to “cap” the mountain tops, possibly through explosives, and “fire comes out of their mouths” and causes many to be burned and killed. Then, by some connection with the volcanic activity of the super volcano, these two mountains cease to show signs of eruption. They lie “dead in the streets” for three and a half days. The people rejoice. But then “the Spirit of life enters into them and they stand upon their feet”. “And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.” Revelation 11:12 KJV They erupt and kill thousands. “And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.” Revelation 11:13 KJV
It is so amazing how Adventism forgot their God and embraced the Babylonian Trinitarian god!!! Yet they talk about Babylon teachings and condemn them but they worship the same god albeit on a different day!!!
These people are NOT CHRISTIANS, if there were they would believing in Jesus' words. God Almighty CHOSE Peter to be in charge of Jesus' Church, and Jesus gave Peter AUTHORITY to be His representative on earth. Matthew 16:13-20, This is why Jesus prayed to the FATHER for everybody to be UNITED; as Jesus and the Father are ONE, John 17:20. Jesus NEVER intended to form 30,000 denomination as we have today, where NO ONE knows who is right. Jesus founded ONE Church and this church gave us the Holy Bible, all 73 original books, not 66 as the protestants and evangelical read. If people go to Israel, Jerusalem, they'll find only Jesus' Church, 1/2 to Mary and the other 1/2 to Jesus, Peter, Mary's parents, Mary Magdalene..Etc. people WILL NOT FIND any protestant or evangelical church, NONE!!! Still time to be saved through the guidelines of the ONLY Church that Jesus founded and HE IS THERE till to end of time, Matthew 28:20.
Coffee is not that good,just like tea leaves(unless you do it in moderation or substitute) if used for long it becomes addictive because it has caffeine, at a certain age it leads to lifestyle disease like BP.
so sick of having this argument with Sevies, including those in my family. The 'its ok to eat clean meats' or 'Jesus ate fish' arguments. We are vegans, God didn't create animals to be eaten, we will be vegan in heaven. So why is the cafe at my church serving meat? Why does the church I grew up in allow only vegetarian foods at the basket lunches on a sabbath afternoon? If its ok to eat meat, why aren't you bringing meat to church luncheons then? Christians should be nice people and not support the horrific meat industry. It's this hypocrisy that turned my husband off the church!

I truly believe the importance of the clean and unclean. So many inn our church ignore,n and or justify the scripture on this matter. When I was a kid my parents could not understand why I would not eat m at etc. God programmed me with this particular scripture in me
I haven’t ate pork since 1997, after those seminars like this one.
A thought I added is, ham is salty and pigs 🐖 don’t sweat; so where is that salty sweat going? Ewww!
In adding: refraining from eating pork does not make me holy: but it makes me more healthy. “Jesus Christ” [is] the “One and Only to bring us salvation.”

Thank you Pastor, I needed to here this. God blessed you hello from Philadelphia Pa.
I’m new to the faith, but I’ve been vegetarian for six years. I have never once looked back, and made the choice because I love animals and couldn’t stomach the cruel and disgusting practices it took to get from factory farm to plate. Between chemically cleaning meat and beating animals senseless, I had already struggled as a child with the idea from the age of 7, and was finally allowed after being deeply obnoxious at age 12 to become vegetarian. It’s taught me to cook healthy, provide for myself and understand the processes of where my meals come from. If I have any advice for people making a change, learn recipes. Learn alternatives you can swap in and out. Take things in steps. Don’t begin with complicated recipes that rely on lots of prep and fancy ingredients. Learn how to take a few veggies or legumes and make them into a wide array of meals. You will succeed if you keep trying

Very nice video
Jesus speaks in the ears too. I believe people are scared to hear the voice of God like Deuteronomy chapter 5, that they rather hear their ministers. God is love, and no correction to be set straight by Him who created the ear, mind, body, and soul. We should eat right and be sober, so none can speak against, mocking the men of God as in Acts 2.
If you can only get grapejuice after the harvest, what did jesus drink during passover which was months after the harvest?
I have a few words of encouragement in the midst of what's going on. It might sound wierd, but it is for real and I thought that it would be important to say it.
Its long because I've tried to and any faqs!
Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions -
Why can't evil be forgiven and let off, how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything?
To you? if you still have any questions let me know x
Do you ever struggle? Or doubt that God Loves You After what you've done? Do you wonder if He even exists for that matter? Read this:
Every one of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count as stealing), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human!
You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23
What is that "glory", morally speaking?
Well, the opposite of human nature and desires.
Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us.
But if its God's standard and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it?
Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, but after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God's morals, standard, and love. So while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The Bible even makes it clear that "apart from God you can do nothing" - John 15:5. Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things.
Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it?
The Bible describes God as a "righteous judge", many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a
murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil.
This means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death - expressing His hatred of evil - and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell.
"The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20
But God, who is also love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to bear the guilt, pain and be cut off from perfection forever through damnation.
Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin.
God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us).
God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely as if He was the picture of mankind's sin itself so that we do not have to be punished.
Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf).
So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH.
"I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortally and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25,26
ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone.
Religion = rules to be saved
The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out.
...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
What does it actually mean for us?
It means we can be completely free from the penalty of damnation.
Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life.
What does this new way of life entail?
It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39.
Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose.
Sound "opposite" again?
God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature.
We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God)
Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts of love and truth and conviction, verses, ideas, prayers and He guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him.
"With man it is impossible, but with God, NOTHING is impossible!" - Matthew 19:26
What is the way FOR though?
Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations.
Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15.
Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world.
The path He wants you to walk is a path of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation.
All we need is faith.
The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived.
God preferred His own Son to be tortured And *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him.
What if I still find myself sinning after I have accepted Christ?
That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus.
It's a process - a lifelong process - of God bringing you back to Him, away from the destructive pleasures of sin (greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This process takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame.
Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful.
"those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37
...HOW DO I LEARN MORE?
Don't know where to start?
Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (if you want a more detailed account of it all).
Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6
Regardless of what goes on down here, God knows, Jesus has been down here and felt all the emotions you are feeling.
You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you.
Even in the storm, God is still there, walking on the water alongside you!
Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". - John 3:16
Thanks for reading if you did. I just felt that I should tell you regardless.
Let me know if you have any more questions or if you need any clarification on anything.

Hi, God bless your ministry. Amen. My question is do you recommend taking the vaccine that is coming up.
Please read the whole message, even if you’ve been saved.
First accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior; confess that He suffered and died for your sins on the cross. Then start repenting of your sins because we all have sinned and transgressed God's laws. Read the received texts like KJV and keep God's 10 Laws which includes Sabbath (resting from Friday Sunset until Saturday Sunset[7th day{Genesis 2:2-3}]). The Bible teaches that thee Antichrist is the Papacy. The mark of the beast is Forced Sunday rest & the banning of Sabbath [7th day] Rest. It takes courage to be in the army of Christ. The battle lines are drawn: you either choose God by keeping Sabbath or Satan by keeping Sunday. We will go through persecution and tribulation and Satan isn’t stupid, don’t underestimate Him; He can transform himself into an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14): He won’t be coming in like some angel of darkness and his ministers of darkness will portray themselves as ministers of righteousness. Satan is showing all this evil to then come in as the good guy for you to join in unity in error-but you’ll think you’ll be worshipping God. Satan uses a lot of truth and mixes a little bit of error for your destruction. People will think they’re doing God’s work when they persecute God’s Sabbath keeping people. My brothers and sisters in Christ in the Catholic Church, those in Sunday keeping churches and for people that don’t know Jesus but are looking for the way, the life and truth-please come out of Babylon and repent of your sins before it's too late! But don't trust what I say; read and study the Bible to find out. I know what I said sounds harsh, I’m not trying to be, and I mean this with the upmost respect and kindness towards you and all of God’s beautiful creation of mankind-both in the body of Christ and outside the body of Christ. God bless!
Sabbath day was not created for Israel: As God's people they needed to keep His Law's because God chose them. It was created before Israel and it's for all mankind who choose the True Living God, through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. Us Christians call Jesus King, which He is: A King has laws for His kingdom; 10 Perfect Laws our God created, which includes Sabbath (A day He sanctified, so you can’t say there’s any day of the week to rest with God: The day He set is the seventh day), and are part of His character. So if you choose Sunday rest when it's enforced (Mark of the beast) by the Antichrist (Roman Catholic Papacy-read Daniel 2&7&8 and Revelation 13 for information on the antichrist and the core of Bible Prophecy to understand):you are then breaking our Kings’ Laws. Keeping and resting on Sabbath along with, if you can congregate, always will mean you are choosing God and His authority in your life. Choosing Sunday now, since it hasn't been enforced, means you're knowingly or unknowingly choosing Satan's authority. But many will say, well Paul and the others broke bread on the first day of the week... Yeah you should worship God everyday and break bread with your brothers and sisters in Christ every once in a while, but Sabbath is the day of rest, hallowed and sanctified by God: The Seal to His Laws. The whole Bible says basically if you love God then keep his Commandments. Jesus died on the cross (Grace and Pardon) because we have sinned (transgressed His Law's[1 John 3:4]). So it's all about God's laws and Jesus saving us from our sin (His Sacrifice to pardon us and to save us for the Transgression of Gods’ Laws). Oh and yes, we are free from the Mosaic & Ceremonial laws when He died on the cross, but not God's Laws (Ten Commandments are in Exodus Chapter 20): we still keep them. We are saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ: We keep Gods’ Laws as a consequence of being saved. Love you, God bless.
The book of Daniel in the Old Testament is the key to truly understanding the Book of Revelation; make sure to remember that every day in prophecy equals a year (Ezekiel 4:6 & Numbers 14:34). Book of Revelation is a chiasmus {[Looks like this(\/)](\Historical&Eschatological/)}also; this information will help you to understand the makeup of the way Revelation is written, along with The Book of Daniel. God bless with your search for truth (The word of God, Ten Commandments, and Jesus is the way, the truth and the life) my brothers and sisters in Christ-ask God in prayer what truth is and to ask for the spirit of prophecy, and for help to understand His Word. People that say it’s okay to break Sabbath and to keep Sunday or other days is an enemy of God; however, many have been deceived and God understands, please ask God for spiritual discernment. Don’t trust me, only Trust Jesus Christ, His Word and His Commandments. God bless!
P.S. Look up Total Onslaught with Walter Veith and Discover Prophecy with David Asscherick: Two lecture series for those who don’t have any understanding of Biblical Prophecy and those that do have some knowledge of prophecy and the war that’s going on; other great lectures for you to watch are Rekindling the Reformation, Darkness before Dawn, and In the stream of Time-all by Walter Veith, also watch this wonderful series called What’s up Prof with Walter Veith and Martin Smith as they use the Word of God and apply it to modern things going on for the times we live in now.
It’s okay to hate me and I know I repeat myself a lot, that’s how important God wants you to know about keeping His Ten Laws including Sabbath, but please don’t hate the Truth- if it’s Truth, then it’s worth buying. I’m not better or wiser, I’m most pathetic, but because God cares about you and He is wanting seeds of truth to be in your heart for when you see the blatant truth of what really is going on, God shall be your growth and His Word a Lantern unto your feet in the spiritually dark world we live in. Please love your enemies that do great evil towards you, we are no better, we are all sinners. Please share this message if you want to.
Revelation 14:6-12
6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

No! Don't drink the kool-aid.
Pastor Doug, after 50+ sermons/presentations which I loved and appreciated ... then this one !!! Nothing is backed up by scripture, all examples from the Bible so vague.
You have not eaten meat in 40 years, never felt better according . How would you know ? Its been 40.0000 years
Would appreciate straight scripture telling us not to eat meat ... would be much appreciated.
Thank you and kind regards
Michael ... South Africa
nice try, you obviously don't read your Bible
Romans 14:21 NKJV
“It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.”
Proverbs 12:10
“Good people take care of their animals, but even the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.”
Isaiah 66:17 NKJV
““Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves, To go to the gardens After an idol in the midst, Eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse, Shall be consumed together,” says the LORD.”
No one is saying that you can't eat meat. It is simply healthier to not eat it. But this is not a salvational issue
“Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenances of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat and as thou seest, deal with thy servants” (Daniel 1:12-13). Try looking at this chapter in Daniel. I think it will help. Wikipedia says ..."Pulses include beans, lentils and peas." However we know Jesus ate fish along with grains and such. It depends on where you live as to what foods are available. God does not want to starve you or for you to be weak and unhealthy. Ask God and He will guide you!

Daniel 1:8 refers to not eating "meat", food from a king that had made them slaves. No where in the Bible does it say not to eat meat. It says that God made the world and all on it for man. For us.
Also is eating 2 meals scriptural?

Honey, all im doing is commenting to your comments, like if we were sitting down visiting and sharing our viewpoint. That's the beauty of these comments, is that we can share our experiences, strength and hope.
But the weakness of this format is that we can't see the facial expressions that convey the heart of the person. If u and I were sitting down sharing a nice cup of herb tea, and visiting, we could laugh, and chat about day to day things, and even share our heart on important topics. And have an enjoyable time.
That's the calm atmosphere I think everyone needs to be able to experience in these times, and there's far too little of it.
I hope u have joy and the peace of God in your life today, snd above all, the Love of God in your heart! Thats what is the biggest blessing of all.

What they’ve all gotten wrong about prophecy and The Bible...
For thousands of years, man has sought the face of God, and studied scripture, listening for His voice. The mind of God is high above us, yet we are to have the mind of Christ. His ways are higher than our ways, His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. Daniel was told to shut up the books of the prophecy he was given, for it was not for his time, but for many days. They were given for the last days. The Lord Jesus spoke of the last days, the days before His return. We are told no man will know the day or the hour, but we are also told that we are not of those who sit in darkness, that that day should overtake us like a thief. We are the children of light, and it is clear to all who believe, we are living in the last days...
Chapter One:
“The pure words of God...”
“The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.”
Psalms 12:6 KJV. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”. Jesus Christ is the Author and finisher of our faith. He is the beginning and the end, the first and the last, the Alpha and Omega. The last words He spoke to us, at the end of the last book of His Word were... “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”
Revelation 22:18-19 KJV. Sadly, America has done just that. It was God Himself who dispersed man at the Tower of Babel, creating different languages. The English language has been the most significant language in the history of the world, and in the work of The Lord. His Word, delivered in the English language over 400 years ago in such a miraculous way, spread the gospel throughout the world, translated it into all the languages, and has done such significant work for The Lord’s Kingdom. What pride and greed in the heart of man to dare think of changing God’s Word! And what blindness to allow such a thing. Satan has deceived the children of men. He has crept into the very Word of God, and into the house of God, and into the hearts and souls of man. What calamities we have brought upon ourselves. The ones we are experiencing, and the ones that we are yet to experience. Prophecy cannot be discerned without The Holy Spirit, and the corrupted modern versions of The Bible today have not the Spirit of God. To seek The Truth, you must first have The Truth...
Chapter Two:
“America Not In The Bible...”
Not only is America prophesied in The Bible, she is a central figure in it. The Bible is about America, from beginning to end. Originally and ultimately about Israel, but significantly and powerfully about America. And then most importantly, about Jesus.
“Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them. Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is in the coupling of the second; that the loops may take hold one of another.”
Exodus 26:1, 5 KJV. The ark has been a vessel that has been spoken of throughout The Bible. It was where God dwelled, and where the Holiest of Holies were. It was used in Noah’s day to save mankind and the animals. “And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.”
Genesis 7:1 KJV. The Lord Himself was in the ark with Noah, that is why He said “Come into the ark”. The ark is a picture of Christ Himself. We must abide in Him to be saved just like when the disciples were affright in the boat with Jesus. “And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.”
Luke 8:24-25 KJV.
Then The Lord ascended up to Heaven, and gave us His Word and The Holy Spirit to guide us and teach us. He ordained and miraculously founded this nation of America, and commissioned Her to do His will, to spread His Gospel, and evangelize the world. He blessed America and we became like unto an ark to the world. Saving the world through the gospel, saving the world during WWII, saving the world economically after the 2008 collapse, saving the world from ISIS, and called upon once again to save the world during these perilous times. But as precious in God’s heart as we have been, we, as a nation, have turned from our Creator and have grieved our Husband greatly. Defiling His Word with countless changes, murdering millions and millions of babies in the womb, completely destroying the sanctity of the family institution ordained by God in ways that are an absolute abomination to The Lord, living in idolatry, and drunkenness, and sorcery and witchcraft with all our various drugs and pharmaceuticals...we have become the great harlot of Revelation. “And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:”
Revelation 17:1-4 KJV. Just as the ark of the covenant was draped in red, white and blue, here is the image of America, draped in red, white, and blue...
Chapter Three:
“The Scarlet Colored Beast”
“So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.”
Revelation 17:3 KJV
“And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.”
Revelation 17:7-9 KJV
The angel made it so clear to John, and yet, we have grappled with this “beast” for thousands of years. Seven mountains. And there are ten horns connected to these seven mountains. “And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.”
Revelation 17:16 KJV
This “beast” is Yellowstone super volcano on which America sits. It is a mega magma chamber filled with molten lava. It is the largest in the world. It is scarlet colored, and it shall burn America with fire.
There will be great earthquakes, smoke, rocks falling from the sky, mountains burning and being cast into the sea, thunder, lightning, clouds, the sun and the moon and the stars darkened, and fire! All of this describes a volcanic event like the world has never known before. The Lord God Almighty shall do this, the same way He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. “And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.”
Isaiah 13:19 KJV
Jesus said, “...for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”
Matthew 17:20 KJV. He was speaking literally. We do not have this kind of faith, but The Lord Almighty does, and he will...
Chapter Four:
“The Antichrist”
There are four verses in the King James Bible that refer to the term “antichrist”. None of these verses capitalize the term “antichrist” or refer to it as “The” antichrist. Man has read too much into this term, and modern versions of the Bible have over emphasized it by capitalizing it, referring to it as “The Antichrist”, painting it out to be this diabolical figure of the end times, wrongly ascribing it to concepts such as the “beast” and the “abomination of desolation” spoken of by Daniel. The truth is clear, and unadulterated...antichrist is anyone who is against Christ. Antichrist is a spirit of enmity towards Jesus Christ, denying that He has come in the flesh. Satan is the ultimate “antichrist”, for he is a liar and the father of lies. And he is a spreader of fear and deception. We as believers should not fear these things, but God only...
Chapter Five:
“Abomination of Desolation”
For many, many years, this mysterious phrase “abomination of desolation” has been thought to mean the imagined figure of “The Antichrist” standing in the rebuilt temple of Jerusalem defiling it. Again, this “figure” of antichrist is imagined and is not what this phrase refers to. Desolation is just that, destruction and desolation, and it is an abomination to The Lord. He does not want to bring such destruction, but it needs be because of the great evil that the world has become. The temple is our living bodies, as we are told in scripture. Israel itself and Jerusalem are “The Holy Place”. This description of this time as told by Christ Himself is directed primarily to the believing Jews living in Israel during the time of the seven year tribulation, after the world has been thrust into chaos and calamity with the total destruction of America. At the time of this great desolation, most of the world will have been destroyed, and the armies encamped around Israel will seek to once and for all destroy Her. And they will get close, except The Lord destroys them and saves 144,000 Jews alive. He destroys all these armies the same way He destroyed America and that side of the world, with the earth itself. We read in scripture that The Mount of Olives itself will be literally split in half. There will be a great earthquake and there will be two volcanic mountains that shall erupt causing the abomination of desolation. Those 144,000 Jews that heeded the warning and fled to the mountains of Petra shall be all that is left. They shall see The Lord coming in the clouds with great glory to set up His kingdom...
Chapter Six:
“The Two Witnesses”
The “two witnesses” spoken of in the eleventh chapter of the book of Revelation are not persons, such as Moses, Elijah, Enoch, etc., they are two volcanic mountains in Israel with which The Lord will use to smite the armies encamped around Jerusalem. “Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.”
Zechariah 14:1-4 KJV.
The mountains “prophesy”, that is, they show signs of impending eruption. Smoke billows out, and great fear falls on the people. They have already witnessed these geological events cause the complete destruction of America and large parts of the world, and they fear for their lives. There is some attempt to “cap” the mountain tops, possibly through explosives, and “fire comes out of their mouths” and causes many to be burned and killed. Then, by some connection with the volcanic activity of the super volcano, these two mountains cease to show signs of eruption. They lie “dead in the streets” for three and a half days. The people rejoice. But then “the Spirit of life enters into them and they stand upon their feet”. “And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.”
Revelation 11:12 KJV
They erupt and kill thousands. “And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.”
Revelation 11:13 KJV
Corvid not Covid. 😂
It is so amazing how Adventism forgot their God and embraced the Babylonian Trinitarian god!!! Yet they talk about Babylon teachings and condemn them but they worship the same god albeit on a different day!!!
Thats why we got this covid
These people are NOT CHRISTIANS, if there were they would believing in Jesus' words. God Almighty CHOSE Peter to be in charge of Jesus' Church, and Jesus gave Peter AUTHORITY to be His representative on earth. Matthew 16:13-20, This is why Jesus prayed to the FATHER for everybody to be UNITED; as Jesus and the Father are ONE, John 17:20. Jesus NEVER intended to form 30,000 denomination as we have today, where NO ONE knows who is right. Jesus founded ONE Church and this church gave us the Holy Bible, all 73 original books, not 66 as the protestants and evangelical read. If people go to Israel, Jerusalem, they'll find only Jesus' Church, 1/2 to Mary and the other 1/2 to Jesus, Peter, Mary's parents, Mary Magdalene..Etc. people WILL NOT FIND any protestant or evangelical church, NONE!!! Still time to be saved through the guidelines of the ONLY Church that Jesus founded and HE IS THERE till to end of time, Matthew 28:20.
How about coffee? It is vegetarian!
Coffee is not that good,just like tea leaves(unless you do it in moderation or substitute) if used for long it becomes addictive because it has caffeine, at a certain age it leads to lifestyle disease like BP.
so sick of having this argument with Sevies, including those in my family. The 'its ok to eat clean meats' or 'Jesus ate fish' arguments. We are vegans, God didn't create animals to be eaten, we will be vegan in heaven. So why is the cafe at my church serving meat? Why does the church I grew up in allow only vegetarian foods at the basket lunches on a sabbath afternoon? If its ok to eat meat, why aren't you bringing meat to church luncheons then? Christians should be nice people and not support the horrific meat industry. It's this hypocrisy that turned my husband off the church!
