    2. Reincarnation, Deification

    If you are a low caste or no caste Hindu then you are stuck at that low level because that's what you deserve from your previous life. And people shouldn't reach out to help you, because they might jeopardize their own karma by interfering with you living out the miserable existence that you deserve. Simply said, people must accept their lot in life and not try to better themselves. This creates a really bad stigma, instead of realizing the reason there is pain and suffering is because of the sin of man, and we should strive to overcome it by the proper measures, first by being saved in Christ.

    Why do so many people want to make themselves God? Why do so many people gravitate towards this conclusion? There is lots of this going on in Christendom also, but of course they are not saved. Have they forgotten that we are God's creatures? Given a choice we tend to select beliefs that elevate who we are, that diminish personal responsibility, that gives us greater freedom to call 'good' what the Scriptures call 'sin', and that put ourselves in charge of our own destiny, rather than saying to God, as the psalmist did, 'My times are in your hands.' (Ps. 31.15) People have had great success in this world and they think of themselves as God. Others have had no success, but holding onto this idea they are a god, uplifts them. The question is who is doing the uplifting and is agreed to by God? What kind of God would we be so imperfect and flawed? Calling oneself God, or a little god, or God in nature and life, diminishes the need to give God His rightful place. We don't need to be more self-centered; we need to be God-centered. We can't find the real Jesus by thinking we are virtually His equal as Mormons believe.

    These days if someone says he believes in Jesus, you have to ask them, 'Which Jesus?'

    Our beliefs can't change reality that is set for forever. Whether we choose to believe it or not, Jesus is the unique Son of God. How do we know? Because he convincingly demonstrated the trustworthiness of his remarkable claims through his resurrection. He is who he is, regardless of what we think. So we have a choice: we can live in a fantasyland of our own making such as atheism or agnosticism and believing whatever we want about him, clinging to our pet teachings and grand assumptions about the historical Jesus; or we can seek to discover who he really is-and then bring ourselves into alignment with the real Jesus and his teachings.

    Amen.

    2. 2015 to 2022

    There are 17,640 days from June 7, 1967 when Israel entered Jerusalem to Sept. 23, 2015, the Day of Atonement, which is the day the 50th year or Jubilee year is announced and all debts are forgiven and land is returned. 17,640 is 49 years x 360 days per year.

    There is also the Total Lunar Tetrad 2014/15 that falls on Passover, Tabernacles and again on Passover and Tabernacles. The last time this happened was 1493/94, a year after when the Jews were kicked out of Spain, 1949/50 when Israel became a nation (they fought for year more after 1948) and 1967/68 when Israel took over Jerusalem. God is saying He has them in His heart and won't break his promise to them to be the center of all nations as we are approaching the end of this age. Revelation 6.12 talks about the red blood moon before the 7 year Tribulation takes place of 2,520 days. 2,520 is the smallest number divisible by all numbers 2 to 10 and is 360 days x 7 years. It is Daniel's set of 7: from the declaration of the rebuilding of the temple was 49 sets of seven, then 62 more sets of seven for when Jesus would enter Jerusalem on donkey, leaving one set of seven to yet be fulfilled for the Tribulation or Jacob's Trouble.

    The Temple Institute which has the designs for the 3rd Temple ready to be built said they have a red heifer, the 10th one in history. The heifer must be sacrificed by the age of 3.

    The Total Lunar Tetrad is the 8th one since Christ; there won't be another for centuries that falls on the fist and last day of the 7 feasts. 2,520 days from Sept. 14, 2015, Feast of Trumpets brings us to August 7, 2022 or Av 10. Av 9 is the day the 1st and 2nd temple were destroyed and when the Jews were kicked out of Jerusalem in 135 AD as well as later on when they were kicked out of England and when Germany declared war on Russia in WWII that began the steps towards the holocaust. Jesus considers His temple very important to return on that day because He will reign during the millennial kingdom from the Temple.

    The meaning of the 2300 days is the temple must be completed with 2300 days left of the Tribulation, so the 3rd Temple must be completed in the year 2016. A nuclear power plant can be completed within 3 years so building the 3rd Temple shouldn't take more than about 2 years, therefore, it could start being constructed no later than early 2015 if it must be completed 2016. It is mathematically amazing that 2,520 brings us to Av 10, August 7, 2022 and not Av 9, August 6 because August 6 was a Sabbath in 2022, and whenever this day of morning for the Jews falls on a Sabbath (according to Wikipedia) they mourn instead the day after. There are coincidences and then appearing only as coincidences.

    If the final bottom of the markets is 10 to 15 years from the peak in previous cases in history for USA, then year 2000 brings us to somewhere between 2015 to 2020 for the final bottom of the equity markets, never to drop down ...

    2. Atheist, Agnostic, Agtheist

    Isn't it funny how some atheists say they have a lack of faith rather than a belief in no God? Agnosticism is a lack of faith and evidence either way, whereas atheism is a belief there is no God whether they think they have evidence for their claim or not.

    Yet there is evidence that God exists. Since in nature we see always has a cause, confirmed by the preponderance of evidence of trillions of causes in nature beyond a reasonable doubt, we know that the natural must have a cause and can't come from nothing. After all that which doesn't exist can't cause anything--IT DOESN'T EXIST! Nothing always comes from nothing.

    Here is a funny thought. Those who say the composite may operate differently than the causation in the composite of the universe run into trouble. While they admit there must always be causation in the universe, they say to bring the composite into being operates without causation. But think how goofy that claim is. For nothing "to bring the composite into being" is another way of saying "causation". Funny! The desperation of agnostics and atheists is profound.
    Realizing this, one has only one option left to continue to reject the uncreated Creator. He must prove that the natural world always existed for an eternity of the past. But this too is impossible because if there was an eternity of the past of cause and effects, mankind would have approximated into that alleged past eternity but would not still be sinning to the extent he still does along the exponential progression of conscience he is clearly on (as seen in just these past six millennia). In other words, it is more than enough time and would be far greater in time than even 13.7 billion years of our universe; it wouldn't even take another six thousand years likely to reach near sinlessness. Various proofs we are on this exponential progression of conscience are found in the 4 Step Proof for God,

    http://www3.telus.net/trbrooks/perfectproof.htm

    Ergo, we are left with no other option fathomable, than there must exists the uncreated Creator who created this existence. A mind with a conscience produced beings with minds and consciences; that which doesn't have a mind, conscience, feelings, volition such as the elements of nature which are lesser could never produce the greater such as sentient beings. Now that we know by the evidence of Romans 1.20 God exists by observing nature in the way described above, the question to ask is, who is God?

    All religions and faiths of the world that claim they have the true God are unable to prove it except one. They are unable to prove it, because their god or gods are ethereally assumed and do no enter creation personally to prove themselves by a supernatural act (visions don't count for there must be group attestation physically that can be touched with our own two hands). Only Christianity proved it, in Christ by His resurrection that most skeptical scholars concede certain details that lead us inextricably to the fact that Jesus created us and He is God.

    Since I don't know how to overturn that evidence and I have never seen anyone else who could find a naturalistic explanation given this data, this is how I know there is no other name under heaven by which one can be saved, and if a person is unwilling to receive this salvation he must be eternally separated from God in the domain called Hell because it would be unrighteous of God to force you to love Him. The unregenerate effectively prefer for eternity to be eternally separated from the Creator. I tend to think of it this way. The pain of recanting will always be greater than the pain of giving up control of self and placing all trust in Jesus.

    It's a choice.

    Most skeptical scholars concede the disciples who spent 3 years with Jesus, along with others, truly believed they saw Jesus alive from the dead in various group settings. Based on the evidence and record of history preserved, those same scholars always concede the fact that these same disciples went to their deaths as martyrs unwilling to deny their eyewitness testimony of having seen Jesus alive from the dead up close and personal physically. Since people don't willingly die for something they know is a lie, and the disciples could have easily renounced their eyewitness claim to save their lives, we know they truly believed it. Therefore, the only option left is to appeal to group hallucinations. But this fails too because according to modern psychology (DM-4 manual) group hallucinations are impossible. As they say in poker, there are no outs left. When all known possibilities we discover are impossible, what we deemed to be impossible must be the truth!

    We are left with no possible naturalistic explanation, proving the fact that Jesus is God and He entered His creation to die on the cross for the sins of the world to reconcile mankind back to Him "whosoever believeth" (John 3.18)--whosoever is willing! Amen.

    Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel
    Re: http://issuu.com/ryaninzion/docs/isr...day_march_2008

    800 years ago in Germany, Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel was a top Talmudic scholar. Before he died in the year 1217, he prophesied the Ottoman Turks would conquer Jerusalem and rule the Holy City for "eight Jubilee years" which is 400 years (50x8).

    Afterwards, he said the Ottomans would be driven out of Jerusalem, which would remain in no-man's land for one jubilee year [1967]. In the tenth jubilee year [2017], Jerusalem would return to the Jewish people and then the Messianic end times would BEGIN!

    This fits perfectly with the Tetrad on two Passovers and two Tabernacles which is completed Sept. 28, 2015 (Rev. 6.12). Except a great earthquake in 2014 or 2015. The Jewish 3rd Temple must be completed within the first year of the 7 year Tribulation so there is 2300 days left in the Tribulation. This absolutely pertains to the 3rd Temple being completed.

    I believe the reason he came to 400 years is because the Jews were enslaved for 400 years.

    The last known record of a Jubilee was 132/133 AD. Bar Kokhba letters were discovered by Yigael Yadin, in 1960, in a cave (now known as the Cave of Letters) near the southwestern end of the Dead Sea. In one letter, Bar Kokhba said that he had rented out his land to a Gentile for two years, so that he could reap the benefits of the land during a time when Jews were not allowed to plant and harvest crops. This is thought to be the 49th and 50th years of a Jubilee cycle. That would be 2016-2017. Because the land is toiled in these two years, the Tribulation will last 7 years starting in 2016 (possibly late 2015).

    The 1517 Turkish take-over of Jerusalem begins the 400 years which comes to 1917 when British General Edmund Allenby defeated them exactly eight Jubilees later. Jerusalem remained in a no man's-land for 50 years during the time of the British Mandate (1917-1948) and the time of the Jordanian rule (1947-1967). During the Six Day War in 1967, Israel captured Jerusalem.

    The 10th Jubilee 50 years after that is 2017.

    Jewish Prophecy from the 1800's
    According to a Jewish prophecy in the 1800's with the 2nd rebuilding of a particular synagogue in Jerusalem will usher in the rebuilding of the 3rd Temple. That synagogue is completed March 15, 2010 which leaves 2010 to 2016 about 6 to 7 years to build the 3rd Temple. Personally I don't see how they will be able to get it done in time, but I'm watching. Then the three and a half year Great Tribulation begins in 2019.

    Conclusion
    I believe the Jubilee means what it says and says what it means. When Jesus returns in Person all debts are wiped away. You don't want to be a lender when Jesus returns, because you won't get your money back. It's alright to be a debtor though.

    2. Hell,
    3. Antichrist and False Prophet

    The Sudarium cloth that was on Jesus' face (John 20.7 "And the napkin, that was about his head") which arrive in Spain in the early 7th century from Palestine in a large silver tomb has the blood type of AB positive. 3% of the population have that blood type.

    The Shroud of Turin also has the blood type of AB positive.

    Prince William (Will "I AM" and whose name comes to 666 in Greek as King William V) is expected to be the Antichrist starting late 2015 after the Total Lunar Tetrad in 2014-2015 (Rev. 6.12) which falls on Passover or Tabernacles all four instances.

    Find out what Prince William's blood type is, then compare the DNA of both cloths and William's. Let me know what you find out because I am stuck!

    Do this for Harry also. Prince Charles has O Negative.

    A quick search of the web indicates that Princess Diana's
    blood type was AB. Apparently, O-type is recessive, so
    Prince William should also have type AB. Most interesting. - Mike Fischer

    It is true that the blood type on the Shroud was determined to be type AB, as was the blood on the Sudarium of Oviedo and the Lanciano miracle.

    However, according to blood experts, the enzymes responsible for the various blood types degrade dramatically over time until little if any remain present. The absence of these enzymes always yields the same result: blood type AB. Consequently, blood type is not really a valid point of comparision with other blood related ancient objects.

    Apparently, all old and degraded blood types turn to AB.

    I have no idea about the prince's blood type and have no way of finding out. Sorry.

    I hope this information is helpful and answers part of your question.

    “In 1900, Karl Landsteiner, a physician in Vienna, Austria, noted that the sera of some individuals led to the ‘discovery’ of ABO blood types.” Essentially, he noted a distinct difference in viscosity or the clotting factors of blood. Later on his students “discovered” the AB blood type. The major blood types are AB,B,A,O; type O is the thinnest with the highest alkaline pH level, the next being type A. Type B is the thickest of the blood types, and is in about 10% of the populations, and type AB is of normal viscosity and is in about 2-4% of populations. Type AB has the strongest immune system of the blood types. For the purpose of this writing the focus will mainly be on the majority blood types; these thin blood types clearly show the types of poisons being put into the food and food chain.

    A Nuclear Bomb Will Blow Up the Vatican Under the Reign of the 666th Pope when Pope Benedict Renames Himself "Peter of Rome".

    "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" (Rev. 14.8).

    God has had enough of the Roman Church. She will burn. This will occur after the first rapture (Rev. 14.1-5) of martyrs and living overcomers but before the final harvest resurrection and rapture (14.14-16; 1 Cor. 15.50-52; 1 Thess. 4.15-17). After the final harvest what follows is the 7th Trumpet which pours of the 7 bowls of wrath of the last 24 months of the Tribulation.


    To what does this city of Babylon refer? To Babylon or to Rome? The Babylon in chapter 17 is a mystery and has reference to Rome as a religious system. The Babylon here in 14.8 is also connected with the Roman religious system, for the description concerning both is the same. So that the second angel notifies the world that Babylon is fallen; that us to say, the Roman religious system is defeated. From this we can infer that the big harvest follows upon the defeat of the Roman religious system.

    “The wine of the wrath of her fornication” signifies the oppression which the Roman religious system will mete out to people. To those unfaithful to the Lord will she give the wine of fornication; and to the faithful will she give the wine of wrath. Wine speaks of that which bewilders people.

    The Roman religious system will be revived, but she will also be totally destroyed.

    She will be destroyed in the first half of the Tribulation. If the Tribulation starts in late 2015 or early 2016 after the Total Lunar Tetrad then by the middle of the Tribulation (Rev. 9.1) three and a half years later she will be destroyed. God has had enough of them. This explosion will be the catalyst for a global response.

    "And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea [note: the Vatican sits on 7 hills]: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed. And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter" (Rev. 8.8-11).

    "For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe" (1 Cor. 1.21 KJV).

    "For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe" (1 Cor. 1.21 NKJV).

    The messsage preached is not foolish, but the preaching is foolish to those who don't believe, to the world of unbelief.
