God's judgment is coming. By all means... pass this article around! (www.heavensoon.com or rapturetoheaven.com)
Acts 17
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in
righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance
unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Welcome to Issue number 26 of the Judgment is coming newsletter. May God bless you as you are encouraged and as you eagerly await the soon return of the Lord Jesus! The signs of impending judgment are all around us! It is a source of encouragement to the Christian as we know the Lord Jesus will very soon return!
There exists a base type of person today who makes the claim that he is a Christian. He also loves and enjoys the things of Satan and will not receive or obey Biblical correction or sound doctrine. Such a person likes to enjoy the occult. Of course such a person likes either Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or Narnia. This person also loves to celebrate the Satanic day of Halloween. The occultic Satanic high holy day of Halloween is coming at the end of October and this person and his family is getting ready to participate. There will be parties, "trick" or "treating", and candy/costume purchasing to get ready for Satan's day.
Here is some information about Satans' holiday of Halloween:
- Devil-ween has roots with the ancient druids. These are high priests of the Celtic religion who practiced ritual human sacrifice.
- It is a holiday celebrated by Satanists and those in the occult
- The main themes are: horror, fear, death, ghosts, demons, witches, magic, and communication with the dead.
- Every year there is a certain amount of poison candy and pins/razor blades in fruit given to the children.
- The colors of Halloween are orange, black, and red - the devil's colors
- It is a high holy day of Satan and should be avoided by all who claim to be Christians. (this should be common sense!)
Here is some additional information:
Quoting from an article on Raiders news Network called Halloween:
-------
It was a pagan belief that on one night of the year the souls of the dead return to their original homes, there to be entertained with food. If food and shelter were not provided, these evil spirits would cast spells and cause havoc toward those failing to fulfill their requests.
Sacrifices were offered on this night to the dead spirits because it was thought they visited their earthly dwellings and former friends.
There was a prevailing belief among all nations that at death the souls of the good men were taken possession of by good spirits and carried to paradise; but the souls of the wicked men were left to wonder in the space between the earth and the moon, or consigned to the unseen world. These wandering spirits were in the habit of haunting the living...But there were means by which ghosts might be exorcised.
To exorcise these ghosts, that is to free yourself from their evil sway, you would have to set out food and provide shelter for them during the night. If they were satisfied with your offerings, they would leave you in peace. If not, they were believed to cast an evil spell on you.
In modern day Satanism and Witchcraft covens, this is the day when Satan
himself comes to "fellowship" with his followers. Many changes have
occurred over the centuries, but one thing ha stayed the same, the practice
of giving an "offering" has stayed the same. Oh we do it under the name
of fun but what is the real meaning? Is it still the same as in the old
days? I say the answer is YES.
---- end quote ----
As you can see there is very much evil and occultic practices in the Satanic holiday of Halloween! Why do people who profess to be "Christians" take part in this evil celebration?
HERE IS THE PROBLEM
In these last days before the return of the Lord Jesus there are many fun-loving professing Christians who have embraced occult entertainment as "fun". These people enjoy either Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or Narnia and all the witchcraft therein. The occult and witchcraft in all the above is really the same despite the packaging! Witchcraft and the occult is the same thing even though it may be called "Christian". In fact, there is no such thing as "Christian" witchcraft which is a good description of the Catholic C.S. Lewis and Tolkien their demonic Narnia and Lord of the Rings series. It is interesting how many fun-loving professing Christian's will accept the witchcraft from two false Christians: Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Yet for some reason some occult loving professing Christians will reject the same witchcraft from the occultic witch who wrote the Harry Potter series. It's all witchcraft no matter how it is packaged!
These fun loving professing Christians also have an unteachable heart. They will not listen to any warnings about false teachers, rock music, or the occult. A person with an unteachable heart will not listen to any Biblical warnings, such as:
Deut 18
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his
daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer
of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or
a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because
of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
These verses say it all! Stay away from the occult! It is that simple. However, the Word of God has no effect on the fun-loving occult professing Christian.
Therefore, these rebellious professing Christians will take part in all the celebration of Halloween. They will allow their children to wear a costume and get candy while "trick" or "treating" from door to door. The occult is all good clean fun to these professing Christian tare!
FALLING AWAY - SHOWING TRUE FRUIT
1 Tim 4
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall
depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines
of devils;
Over the years I have seen many people fall away into sin and doctrinal apostasy. When I see the occult loving professing Christian, I see nothing more than a false Christian tare on his way to hell while claiming to be a Christian. These people love and enjoy the occult because that is where their unsaved heart belongs. The professing Christian may profess to love God but in reality he denies the Lord by his rejection of sound Biblical doctrine and his enjoyment of evil and the occult. To put it simply, such a person is not saved. This is why the occult lover likes and enjoys Halloween.
What about people who don't know any better about Halloween and participate out of ignorance? In this case I believe such a person should be warned and shown the evils of this Satanic holiday. If they love the Lord, the warnings will be accepted and that person will not dare to offend the Lord by "enjoying" the pagan celebration of Halloween. Those who refuse to listen and do it anyway are just showing to everyone who and what they love and it is not the Lord. These people are showing that they are lost hellbound sinners even though they may claim to be a Christian and attend some kind of church.
TIME TO CHOOSE
Josh 24
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom
ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the
other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell:
but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
The Lord Jesus is coming back very soon! It is now time to make a choice! Are you going to cleanse you life from Satanic evil and walk with the Lord - or not? Make your choice now!
Are you saved? Is the Lord Jesus your Lord and Saviour? Have you repented of your sins and received salvation only found in the Lord Jesus?
John 3
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that
the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not
is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the
only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and
men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the
light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made
manifest, that they are wrought in God.
1 Tim 4
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall
depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines
of devils;
In these last days people are making choices. Some choose to grow closer to the Lord with a loving heart. Others profess to be a "Christian" yet they do not want to walk close to the Lord. Instead, they believe they are "Christian" so have embarked on enjoyment and pleasure seeking using their "liberity" in Christ to do what THEY want. What does this mean? This means a love for occult entertainment, false teachers, and Satan's rock and roll music.
Remember - some people are choosing to walk closer to the Lord while others are choosing to go away from the Lord and back to the world with all its worldly pleasures and evil entertainment.
Here are some examples of those who show they are not really Christians even though they profess to be saved:
1) Attendance at a liberal church that uses contemporary rock music and perverted Bible versions like the NIV.
2) Love of Satan's rock and roll music
3) A growing love of the occult. This includes enjoying Harry Potter, or Lord of the Rings, or Narnia. The occult is the same in all three series but the occult lovers seek ways to justify their love of sin.
4) Love of false teachers who tingle the ear with their false teachings
5) A hard heart that does not respond to sound Biblical doctrine, correction, and teaching.
6) Halloween is coming! The disobedient occult lovers will send their children out "trick" or "treating"! They do not care that Halloween is a Satanic high holy day. Again they will justify their sin and love of evil.
Truly we are living in days where there is a separation between the wheat(saved) and the tares (professing Christians but unsaved). Saved people do not love sin and they seek to please the Lord. Saved people still sin but they do not love sin and the constantly go toward the Lord in love and obedience. The unsaved are the complete opposite. The unsaved do not care what God or the Bible says. Instead they will have their occult pleasures or rock music and they will not respond to Biblical correction or sound Biblical doctrine.
Titus 1
16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable,
and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
James 4
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world
is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the
enemy of God.
Josh 24
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom
ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the
other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell:
but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Time is quickly running out before the return of the Lord Jesus. Right now, people who have a heart to fall away from God are doing so! They show to all that they were never saved in the first place by their love of sin, false teaching, and evil as they fall away. The saved are looking forward to the return of the Lord Jesus and seek to please Him and draw closer to Him day by day.
As you read this, which are you? Are you wheat or a tare who will fall away?
Heb 10
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will
not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul
shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that
believe to the saving of the soul.
A person who claims to be a Christian but falls away into sin and rejection of sound Biblical doctrine shows to all that he was never saved in the first place!
Are too many churches these days more concerned about saving the earth than saving souls?
A British sociologist and a prominent American theologian are among those who might say so.
Frank Furedi, who teaches at the University of Kent in the United Kingdom, suggested that churches have replaced theology with ecology, using ecological virtues as a platform to assert their authority in society.
"In recent years, some in the church have sought to gain the public's ear through the greening of traditional doctrines, and Christ the Savior is fast becoming Christ the environmental activist," wrote Furedi in a recent article that appeared in the independent online publication Spiked.
"Western society is continually in search of rituals and symbols through which
moral probity can be affirmed," he continued. "It appears that, for many
church leaders, the project of saving the planet offers more opportunities
for reconstituting rituals and symbols than the saving of souls."
...CONTINUED...
"When a church forfeits its God-given mission, no other mission matters,"
he concluded.

* * * * *
Sadly many churches have gone apostate in these last days. They have forsaken the Bible
and sound doctrine. To replace the foundational teachings on salvation and Biblical
Christianity, these apostate churches have gone in other directions. Many have
started preaching ecology and "mother earth" worship.
It is important to leave a bad church and hunt down and attend a good church that still uses the Bible and preaches sound doctrine. I know such churches are rare but they still do exist!
2 Thess 2
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there
come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Notice that the falling away from the Bible and sound doctrine (apostasy) comes before the rise of the antichrist. Since we now live in the days of great and growing apostasy, how close must be the rapture and then the rise of the antichrist!
Here is another popular example of false science and ecology that the Christ rejecting and Bible rejecting churches will support.
ONE of the world's leading meteorologists has described the theory that helped Al Gore win a share of the Nobel prize "ridiculous".
Dr William Gray, a pioneer in the science of seasonal hurricane forecasts, spoke to a packed lecture hall at UNC Charlotte and said humans are not responsible for the warming of the earth.
His visit, arranged through the meteorology program at UNCC, came on the same day that Gore was honoured for his work in support of the link between humans and global warming.
"We're brainwashing our children," said Gray, 78, a longtime professor at Colorado State University. "They're going to the Gore movie (An Inconvenient Truth) and being fed all this. It's ridiculous."
Gray, whose annual forecasts of the number of tropical storms and hurricanes are widely publicised, said instead that a natural cycle of ocean water temperatures - related to the amount of salt in ocean water - is responsible for the global warming that he acknowledges has taken place.
However, he said, that same cycle means a period of global cooling will begin soon and last for several years.
"We'll look back on all of this in 10 or 15 years and realise how foolish it was," Gray said. ...continued...
"It bothers me that my fellow scientists are not speaking out against something
they know is wrong," he said. "But they also know that they'd never get any grants
if they spoke out. I don't care about grants."

* * * * *
There are many scientists who reject as foolishness this man-made global
warming deception being "passed off" to the world. It all boils down to
creating one of many false crisis's in the world to prepare for the coming
global dictatorship coming in the kingdom of the antichrist.
Psalm 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together,
against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them
in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his
sore displeasure.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 - When the Justice Department publicly declared torture "abhorrent" in a legal opinion in December 2004, the Bush administration appeared to have abandoned its assertion of nearly unlimited presidential authority to order brutal interrogations.
But soon after Alberto R. Gonzales's arrival as attorney general in February 2005, the Justice Department issued another opinion, this one in secret. It was a very different document, according to officials briefed on it, an expansive endorsement of the harshest interrogation techniques ever used by the Central Intelligence Agency.
The new opinion, the officials said, for the first time provided explicit authorization to barrage terror suspects with a combination of painful physical and psychological tactics, including head-slapping, simulated drowning and frigid temperatures.
Mr. Gonzales approved the legal memorandum on "combined effects" over the
objections of James B. Comey, the deputy attorney general, who was leaving
his job after bruising clashes with the White House. Disagreeing with what
he viewed as the opinion's overreaching legal reasoning, Mr. Comey told
colleagues at the department that they would all be "ashamed" when the
world eventually learned of it.

The coming kingdom of the antichrist is slowly being setup right now. It will
be a harsh and evil kingdom that has no respect for human life. That same
attitude can be seen in the USA and their torture of prisoners. It is all very
evil. This is especially true since torture has been proven not to provide
reliable information. But when a nation can murder millions of babies in the
womb and declare the Bible as hate literature, anything is possible. During the
kingdom of the antichrist many people will be killed who will not bow down and
worship the devil. The same godless disregard of human life will cause the
death of multitudes of people. When we see the use of torture we are seeing
a preview of the coming kingdom of the antichrist.
Rev 6
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of
them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true,
dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto
them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants
also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
I hope you are ready as the Lord Jesus is coming back soon. It is time now to repent of your sins and accept or reject the Lord Jesus as your Saviour.
A radical Government re-think on the law governing hybrid embryos will allow scientists to carry out virtually any work they like - if it is approved by regulators.
The move opens the door to experiments involving every known kind of human-animal hybrid. These could include both "cytoplasmic" embryos, which are 99.9% human, and "true hybrids" carrying both human and animal genes.
In addition "chimeras" made of a mosaic-like mix of cells from different species,
and "human transgenic embryos" - human embryos modified with animal DNA - will
also be allowed under licence.

Lost people continue to provoke God by playing with DNA. The human body is the vessel
where the Lord gives the human spirit at conception. To corrupt the human embryo is a
great sin before the Lord. This sin will have an answer in Divine Judgment in the
coming days ahead!
Gen 6
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every
imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Matt 24
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of
man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered
into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall
also the coming of the Son of man be.
(CNSNews.com) - New research conducted by a British statistician showed that abortion is the "best predictor of breast cancer" among seven acknowledged risk factors, though fertility is also useful in anticipating the incidence of the disease.
The study re-confirms what many scientists acknowledge in private but won't mention in public, Karen Malec, president of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer, told Cybercast News Service, because they fear the potential medical liability involved.
Peter Carroll of London's Pension and Population Research Institute reports in "The
Breast Cancer Epidemic: Modeling and Forecasts Based on Abortion and Other Risk
Factors" that countries with high abortion rates, such as England and Wales, can e
xpect a substantial increase in the number of cases of breast cancer over the
next few decades.
...continued...
Carroll interpreted his results by using seven risk factors regarding breast cancer:
# An induced abortion leaves breast cells in a state of interrupted hormonal development in which they are more susceptible to cancer;
# A low age at first birth is protective to the mother;
# Childlessness increases the risk of breast cancer;
# A larger number of children (higher fertility) increases protection;
# Breastfeeding gives additional protection;
# Hormonal contraceptives are conducive to breast cancer; and
# Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is also conducive to breast cancer.

Shedding innocent blood is a terrible sin before the Lord. Sin also has
consequences which are both physical and spiritual in nature. The act of
murder and the related guilt of murder will take it's toll over time. The
only hope is to repent of this sin and turn to the only Saviour, the
Lord Jesus!

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
"Mom and Dad" as well as "husband and wife" have been banned from California
schools under a bill signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who with his
signature also ordered public schools to allow boys to use girls restrooms and
locker rooms, and vice versa, if they choose.
"We are shocked and appalled that the governor has blatantly attacked traditional family values in California," said Karen England, executive director of Capitol Resource Institute.
"With this decision, Gov. Schwarzenegger has told parents that their values
are irrelevant. Many parents will have no choice but to pull their children
out of the public schools that have now become sexualized
indoctrination centers."

Governor Schwarzenegger Signs Bills Forcing Schools to Promote Homosexuality
to Five Year Olds "Every school a homosexual-bisexual-transsexual
indoctrination center"
SACRAMENTO, CA, October 15, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed into law two bills requiring all public school instruction and activities to positively portray transsexuality, bisexuality, and homosexuality to children as young as kindergarten. Other bills signed Friday undermine marriage and infringe upon the moral conscience of business owners, churches, and nonprofit organizations.
Schwarzenegger signed SB 777 (transsexual, bisexual, homosexual indoctrination of schoolchildren by requiring changes to all instruction and activities) and AB 394 (transsexual, bisexual, homosexual indoctrination of students, parents, and teachers via "anti-harassment" training). Of note, Schwarzenegger vetoed nearly the identical bills last year, in the midst of his reelection campaign.
"Arnold Schwarzenegger has delivered young children into the hands of those
who will introduce them to alternative sexual lifestyles," said Randy
Thomasson, president of Campaign for Children and Families (CCF), which
helped lead the statewide charge against these bills. "This means children
as young as five years old will be mentally molested in school classrooms.
Shame on Schwarzenegger and the Democrat politicians for ensuring that
every California school becomes a homosexual-bisexual-transsexual
indoctrination center."
...continued...
Under SB 777, says Thomasson, which will go into effect on January 1, 2008, the following could be eliminated from California public schools because they are deemed to have a "discriminatory bias":
- Textbooks and other instruction that portray marriage as only between a
man and a woman
- Textbooks and other instruction that say people are born male or female
(and not in between)
- Textbooks and other instruction that leave out transsexual, bisexual,
and homosexual historical figures
- Sex education and school assemblies that omit the option of hormone
injections or sex changes
- Homecoming king and queen contests that allow only boys to run for king
and only girls to run for queen
- Boys' and girls' bathrooms that separate biological boys from biological girls
The second sexual indoctrination bill that Schwarzenegger signed, AB 394,
will promote transsexuality, bisexuality, and homosexuality to students,
parents, and teachers through school training programs against "harassment"
and "discrimination."

It is time for parents to get their children out of the government
schools. These schools have literally become indoctrinating and brainwashing
centers for sexual immorality and the occult. This trend will not get
better but it will continue to get worse. Sin degenerates to more sin
and this can be seen in the government school system.
1 Cor 6
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but
he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
There are always consequences to sin and that leads to death. The first is physical death and the second is spiritual death which is separation from God in the lake of fire!

23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
