THIS GOSPEL

IS THERE GOING TO BE THE MOTHER OF ALL WARS IN HEAVEN ?

Well, read on.

Most writers and preachers, when they talk about the Gospel, trot out all the familiar scriptures like: The Gospel of the Kingdom of God. Mark 1:14,15; And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Matthew 24:14. Familiar? the mind then goes into a haze trying to accommodate a dozen more scriptures on the subject; its all very sweet and lovely and after an hour everyone gets up and says wasn't the sermon wonderful ? (because they all feel very Christian) and in reality missed the whole point of WHAT the disciples asked and WHAT Christ actually said.

What does the word GOSPEL mean?

It means the GOOD TIDINGS1. The English word gospel comes from the Anglo-Saxon godspel which meant good tidings, through godspel, or god-story. The word in the original (Greek) the New Testament is euaggelion, from which, through the Latin evangelium, comes our word evangel, with its derivatives. In the New Testament it is the Christ-message, not the books. It basically means the good news of the coming Kingdom of God, meaning that when this good news has been preached then shall the end of this system of bribery and corruption wars and rumours of wars, grand conspiracies and SATANIC RULE comes to an end. Matthew 24:14

But why GOOD news. Well at the very last meeting with Christ on earth the apostles asked him "wilt thou at this time RESTORE again the Kingdom to Israel?" Acts 1:6. The Jews had had enough of Roman rule.

The Apostles knew that Israel under God, prospered; check, Gen 24:56; Judges 4:24; 2Kings 18:7; 2 Chron 31:21, 32:30; So quite understandably, they wanted the Glory back.

Why should the Kingdom of God be any better, than what we have got at the moment? It is because the Kingdom of God will basically have the laws, judgements and statutes that original Israel had. And in future be ruled with a rod of iron, Rev 12:5; this will result in everlasting peace. And mind boggling prosperity. NO DEBT

Yes that which is SPIRITUAL is very practical. It's NOT something strangely ethereal. In the Kingdom of God Jesus Christ will rule the earth with laws. The spiritual (everlasting) laws will be the ten commandments. Exodus 20, plus the judgements Ex21,22 and the Levitical laws and of course the statutes. But first the ten commandments:-

Thou shalt have no other Gods before me.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.

Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.

Honour thy father and thy mother.

Thou shalt not kill (murderers do not enter into the kingdom Rev21:8).

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Thou shalt not steal.

Thou shalt not bear false witness (liars do not enter into the kingdom Rev 21:8).

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours wife or---

We ask long term readers to bear with us on this .

These are the overall laws but what will happen if one intentionally breaks them? The following are the JUDGEMENTS. As of 15 May 1994 from television programmes it appears that crime actually starts about 10 years of age. But if a child is actually taught the ten commandments, and the result of breaking them from birth; and is warned what will happen to him or her, then no one will have an excuse when a panel of 12 people say the following:

Ex 21:1-11 may or may not apply to you but to keep things modern.

Ex21:12 He that smiteth a man so that he die, shall be surely be put to death.

Ex21:15 He that smiteth his father or his mother shall be put to death.

Ex21:16 He that kidnaps shall be put to death.

Ex21:17 He that curseth his Father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

Ex22:16 And if a man entice a maid that is not betroth and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.

Ex22:25 If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usuary.

Ex23:7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

But did God actually mean us to teach these things from birth. Deut 6:1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes and the judgments which the Lord your God commanded to teach you that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:---Deut 6:7 and thou shalt teach then diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up.

Lev 18:4 Ye shall do my judgment, and keep mine ordinances, and walk therein: I am the lord your God. Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgements: which if a man do, HE SHALL LIVE IN THEM: I am the lord.

Lev 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind. (or woman with woman)

20:15 And if a man lie with beast he shall surely be put to death

Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall be surely be put to death.

Deut 27:21 Curse be he that lieth with any manner of beast.

Lev 18:23 Neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto.

notice also under statues

Lev 23:21 it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings THROUGHOUT ALL YOUR GENERATIONS.

25:13 In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession. NO MORE PERPETUAL DEBT

The first lot of laws (the ten commandments) God gave to the ancient Israelites when they came out of Egypt. This was then followed by the civil laws above. Then statutes. This was God intervening in the world he gave to Satan, like he did with Adam; to achieve his master plan. If the Israelites had obeyed God then, at Mount Sinai they would have lived. But the spirit of God was necessary.

So the Good news that Jesus had come to give was that by his death and resurrection he was going to be able to bring a kingdom of laws judgments and statutes that will enable people to LIVE, in peace and prosperity. It WASN'T the gospel about the person of Jesus Christ, it was the Good news of a KINGDOM which Jesus was going to bring some time in the future.

So lets take some examples of the Gospel or good news.

Thou shalt have no other gods before the Eternal.

Let's assume that you are being paid a high wage for teaching or doing something that you know is incorrect.

Do you say to yourself that I am being paid well, so I will bend the rules a bit. Or, do you say that I would rather teach the truth and take the consequences and obey God who will supply all my needs?

How about thou shalt not steal?

Under the correct circumstances thieves died. Remember the two thieves on the cross that died with Christ, why were they there --because they stole.

Obviously Israel prospered for a while under the laws judgments and statutes Deut 6:1-2 for it goes on to say that --But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth the power to get wealth Deut 8:18.

WHY was it good news, that Christ brought?

Christ had to go through a test (to QUALIFY as a king) Matt 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty day and forty nights he was afterwards and hungered (wouldn't you be?) And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the son of God, command that these stones be made bread?

Could Christ do it? Well of course he could. Before he became the son of God he was the Word that had created this vast universe. He also co existed with GOD who became the father. It was he that had created Lucifer who became Satan in the first place. It was he that reformed the earth after the first rebellion, yes in SEVEN LITERAL DAYS OF CREATION. How do we know this. Well its fairly obvious.

He had separated the waters out Gen 1:6-8 and the evening and the morning were the second day and then from 9-13 he put the grass, the herb yielding seed in the dry ground and then caused a mist to form Gen 2:6. Gen 1:12 says the earth brought forth grass and at Gen 1:13 the evening and the morning were the third day. Now any person that mows their lawn knows, that if there is a drought, no grass grows.

BUT if there is a downpour of rain then within 24 hrs the grass can have grown 2 inches, Then and lets be honest about this He could easily create birds etc on the fifth 24 hr day because the birds would have had grass to feed on and water to drink. So forget about 1000 year days here and as for 1 million year days of (evolution) that is sheer folly. The morning and evening have continued until this day and so has the quickly growing grass. So has the seven day week.

It was Christ that created Adam of the dust of the earth. That was with Adam for 7 years when he asked Adam to name all the newly created animals and fowl of the air. That showed himself as far as was humanly possible on the mountain EX 33:23. That spoke to Isaiah when he said, Is 44:2 I have formed thee Jacob from the womb, and Is 44:6 The King of Israel, that went against wooden and graven metal "gods" Is 44:17

It was the Word that troubled Nebuchadnezzar in his dream Dan 2:28.

That allowed himself to be reduced down to the smallness of man's sperm so that the being that was with him, GOD could impregnate him into Righteous Mary's womb. Yes while she was still a virgin so that he was born in the Autumn NOT midwinter. It was this same being who had been taught all the old testament so as he grew up must have quickly clicked on to who he was and knew what was going to happen to him.

And that he had the power but not the authority to take charge of the earth. He had already given Satan the Authority for a period of time. So when he was asked to make the stones bread, (and could do it, that was NOTHING to him and Satan knew Christ was the son of God.) the test here for Jesus was, did he obey Satan or his Father in heaven. Because if he did make the stone change to bread WHICH HE COULD DO, he would simply have changed tracks and obeyed Satan. That would have meant Gods plan being thwarted.

So he went through a series of tests and passed them all triumphantly. But he could have failed. He didn't and knew that his Father who had never been to the earth, would not let him down, even in death. So he knew that he could bring the PERFECT SYSTEM FOR MANKIND. Upon his death and resurrection, when people had accepted him and wanted to live his way they could ALSO be given everlasting life.

Satan was angry that Christ had passed the test so that all that was left for him to do was kill Christs body. So when Jesus was in the synagogue on the Sabbath day and read Luke 4:18-19 with such authority and then started to heal the sick and cast out demons and do miracles it became obvious to the leaders of his day that this guy WAS who he said he was and went about to kill him. Although the leaders were under Roman rule they did not want this upstart with great power to come and take away their positions of power from them; even though he had done miraculous healing works for others and out shone the local leaders.

To the people Christ was good news of health wealth and prosperity for all people for all time but the leaders were going to have none of it. This was because the leaders knew that Christ could see through them and knew that they were breaking the laws judgments and statutes profusely, in the spirit and were being just basically hypocritical. So they (stirred up by Satan) went all out to kill him and get rid of him once and for all time. So they thought.

So as a perfect living individual he had to suffer on the cross and die and be resurrected.

Here are some of the resurrection scriptures.

THE SIGN

Did the Disciples want a SIGN, when Christ was going to come back? Did Christ give them the key figure in all of the Gospel (good news ) message. Math 24:3 And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the SIGN of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

Math 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven BUT MY FATHER ONLY. (The Father is the key figure)

Christ had read Daniel and knew that he, Christ had inspired him in the understanding of the future of the last Roman kingdom.

Dan 2:27-28 Daniel answered in the presence of the King, and said, The secret which the King hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the King; but there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days.---- 43-45 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

And IN THE DAYS OF THESE KINGS (these kings have not appeared yet) shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall NEVER be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms and it shall stand forever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold: the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain and the interpretation thereof sure. [Britain/Ephraim is not mentioned here as part of the Roman Empire]

Matthew 24:3-14

And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciple came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name saying I am Christ; and shall deceive many, And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars; seest that they not trouble thee for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet for nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there shall be famines and pestilence and earthquakes in divers places.

All these are the beginning of sorrows then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and shall kill you and ye shall be hated of all nations for my names sake And then shall many be offended and will betray one another and shall hate one another And many false prophets shall rise and shall deceive many and because iniquity shall abound the love of many shall wax cold But he that shall endure unto the end the same shall be saved Then this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nation; and then shall the end come.

Matthew 24: 21-22 for then shall be GREAT tribulation such as was NOT since the beginning of the world to this time no nor ever shall be. And EXCEPT those days should be shortened there should NO FLESH BE SAVED but for the elects sake those day shall be shortened. This was it the Mother of all wars. Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened and the moon shall not give her light and the

STARS SHALL FALL FROM HEAVEN AND THE POWERS OF THE HEAVENS SHALL BE SHAKEN (Daniel was not told this)

and then shall appear the SIGN {A GROWING BALL OF WHITE LIGHT} of the son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn and they shall see the son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Once Christ had been resurrected he knew that ALL POWER HAD BEEN GIVEN TO HIM because he could handle it correctly. And knew that he was going to become king of kings. and not only restore Israel to its original glory but in the future make it more powerful.

The Trap, Hosea7:12 net

Now we come to the final resurrection of the holy Roman empire.

----and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days.---- 43-45 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: [Become a New World Order of men] but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. And IN THE DAYS OF THESE KINGS (these kings have not appeared yet) shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall NEVER be destroyed:

We are now about at the end of 6000 years of man's misrule over the nations. We now have the EEC, followed by the EC, followed by the EU; all based upon the treaty of ROME.2

We have thousands of EEC directives from Brussels, just one of which3 page 19 has forced 5000 of UK egg producers out of business. (this doesn't get reported does it?). The civil service has now mostly become corrupted, page 213. Read,3" The Mad Officials"

The Net has been spread, Hosea7:12 I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of heaven. Hosea7:8 Ephraim4 (Britain) is a cake not turned, Strangers have devoured his strength,(To date the Roman Empire has cost us 235bn) and he knoweth it not: yea Grey hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth it not. (The spark of life has almost gone from Britain)

Britain has legally gone into slavery to the Holy Roman empire, the British people have been tricked and trapped.

200.000.000

The Berlin wall came down and we were in an era of Peace. Remember when they say peace and safety then cometh sudden destruction. At this point in time we have currently about 30 wars The Trap5 (page 47) being fought in the world. We have a massive drought in Australia.

Since this peace and safety we have had 4 Billion6 new people that have come on the free trade market out of communism that's 4.000.000.000.000. a lot of fresh blood. All baying for western style living. They wont get it of course and will show their anger with 200.000.000 (yes Rev 9:16 two hundred thousand thousand) of them attacking the quickly developed Holy Roman Empire, in the valley of Jehoshaphat. (Joel 3:2)

There are 5 things to grasp at the end. 1, the Gospel preached; 2, the place of safety, when 3, the ten kings appear; 4, the sign of the falling stars; 5, the sign of Christ coming.

1. Gospel preached Matthew 24:14

To the best of our knowledge the True Gospel was preached in England in or about 1932 by the British Israelites7. As appendix C page 211. IV points out ---That there is to be a time of unparalleled trouble at the close of this Dispensation-probably commencing with the coming great war-woe on the European nations, and culminating in the last great tribulation--.

[Editors comment--at that time Britain was not even considered of as being part of Europe.]

2. Place of safety Matthew 24: 24:20 flight be not in winter

Matthew 24:31 gather elect

Rev 12:6 the woman fled into the wilderness

14 women might fly into the wilderness

3. The Saints now become the Kingdom of God in the place of safety. [And IN THE DAYS OF THESE KINGS (these kings have then appeared ) shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall NEVER be destroyed:]

Merchants

REV 18:3 waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies

19 by reason of her costliness (The modern day Roman Empire is VERY costly)

Dan 11:44 but tidings out of the east (the eastern hordes) and out of the north shall trouble him [Germany] Meet at Jehoshaphat. [And IN THE DAYS OF THESE KINGS (these kings have then appeared )] shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall NEVER be destroyed:

4. Matthew 24: 24:29 after tribulation sun darkened --stars fall (Rev 12:7 and there was WAR IN HEAVEN: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon) This war is yet to come Daniel 12:1 and at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which stand for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble .

At point of war Satan knows time is short and attacks God the Father and Son in Heaven THE MOTHER OF ALL WARS. Down come the meteorite's and blazing comets to Destroy mankind. Just like the first rebellion. No normal mind will be able to withstand it that is why the saints will have to have their minds sealed with the spirit of God against the troubles.

5. Then the Father gives Christ the go ahead to prevent total destruction of mankind and to take charge of His Kingdom. Matt 24:29

Conclusions

When we see the "stars" falling from Heaven, this is the result of the Mother of all wars in heaven where Satan has one last go at taking over Gods position in Heaven. This time will be worse than the first rebellion. All mankind would be obliterated by this "heavenly onslaught" if Christ didn't intervene which of course he does and bring in 1000 years of total peace and harmony.
