Editor’s Note: I had just been finalizing this article when I listened to one of my good friend’s (Randy Maugans) broadcast by the name of “A Call To Arms”. He and co-host Sue Patterson have done a marvelous effort in explaining who believers are in the body of Christ and what they are called to do in the ministry of the Gospel… This broadcast is linked below which I consider a must listen. It will bless you. Scott

Audio: “A Call To Arms”:The Third Day-\”A Call To Arms\”

sampson-last-standWe all start out pretty much like Samson did with a whole lot of vim, vigor, zest, and joie de vivre for life. Then something comes along and capsizes our forward momentum, our onward thrust. It could be dramatic or a series or processes of mistakes and/or setbacks. But the end result is always the same – chains (sin).

In the largely metaphor driven chronicle of Samson and his times; they beckon to a much earlier account where his overpowering strength prevailed but was only kept in check as it related to the secret of his strength which was his long hair that was symbolic and represented his inner relationship with the Lord. In essence, the Lord was his strength.

And when that relationship was literally cut short, by a beguiling serpent/scorpion in the form of a plan to get him to divulge his strength, he gave up his anointing… This is also on a personal level as it is universally in that the symbiotic political/religious relationship existed between the lords of the Philistines and Delilah. Much like it did between Pilate (Political) and Caiaphas (Religious) the only difference here was Jesus Christ who is the only true Anointed Word made flesh gave up his life for our sakes only to resurrect it three days later.

“But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.”-Ezekiel 33:6

37029351

Editors note: these articles are written from a watchman’s perspective being to warn the people of impending danger. As to who will listen and take heed; well, that’s another matter. Essentially, we are all aware of the ongoing events surrounding us. This message is addressed to three separate people:
  • (1) The unsaved who may or may not listen,
  • (2) The multitude of professing Christians in their State sanctioned Churches who may or may not listen, and
  • (3) The remnant who have listened.
Because in the end – some will listen and take heed and some will not (no matter who the watchman is). Scott

From a watchman:
There was a time in this world when Christianity first started and spread out where the spiritual lines of demarcation were clearly drawn. Demarcation means boundaries or separation. The ruling empire (Imperial Rome) demanded that a person worship a pantheon of pagan gods and if you didn’t worship or give the normal homage afforded to that pagan god or idol; you were hunted down, persecuted, and usually killed to the amusement and glee of the sitting emperor or one of his magistrates. Thousands and thousands of Christians were killed for professing their faith. Their deaths were sometimes quick; heads cut off, run through with a sword, spear, or arrows, hung, or they were painfully tortured, dragged through the streets, put on the rack until their joints and bones popped, pierced with nails, burned at the stake, beat with whips, chains, clubs, boiled over a hot flame, starved, mauled by starving beasts, branded by hot irons, boiled alive in hot liquid… And they gladly went to their deaths for a better resurrection and professed Jesus Christ as Lord and God.
This was all done because they refused to worship pagan gods and submit to evil.
After the Lord’s crucifixion starting with Stephen, all the 11 disciples (John having died of old age), Paul of Tarsus, and myriads of other Christians, during the 10 major Roman persecutions that ensued suffered horrible deaths all the way up to circa 324 AD when Constantine made Christianity the official state religion. Unfortunately, under that lifting of cruelty, the original uniqueness of the true faith was compromised initially with a syncretic blending and merging with pagan mores, modalities, and traditions. Actually, this had been going on for quite some time. The part that Constantine played in all this was brilliant from a secular and political standpoint much like the old saying that – “if you can’t beat them – then join them”.  He did exactly that by joining politics and religion.
Jesus did say when he established his true church (small “c” which is a called out assembly) that “the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”.
The State-sponsored Church went through more organizational incarnations eventually to form a more solidified co-existence with the State when Pope Leo III as the Pontifex Maximus crowned Charlemagne as Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire on December 25th (winter solstice) of 800 AD.
Jesus said “my Kingdom is not of this world” and “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head”.
By now the Church had been so thoroughly leavened that to a true Christian, she was unrecognizable.
But God will always preserve a remnant…
Eventually, the leaven that “leaveneth the whole loaf” morphed into a much more brutal, pernicious footing and now the Papal Roman Church aligned with the State began its own inhuman brutality on those that dared to question its unholy ways. True Christians were now sequestered and subjected to the most hideous and grotesque tortures known to man. Through a series of “Inquisitions” that lasted hundreds of years from about 1231 AD when Pope Gregory IX established the Papal Inquisition, thousands more Christians suffered death. By this time, the Crusades (military campaigns) were ongoing.
The truth is that all these Christians have been getting martyred since Stephen all down through the ages till now.
None of them got raptured.
Now, we are at the end of the line prophetically speaking where the visions of John who was exiled (banished) to the remote isle of Patmos saw by revelation the caricature of the woman who sat upon the “scarlet coloured beast”. She was “drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus”. She is “MYSTERY BABYLON” that down through the ages has joined herself to the beast that she rides. She represents false world religion.
However, God has always preserved a remnant church down through the centuries that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Evil for its part is very intuitive and adapts with the times continually trying to achieve its goal to destroy true Christianity. It will not and has not succeeded. It is an eternal spiritual battle that plays out on the physical canvas of life.
It has been said many times that Christianity is a race to the bottom in opposition to the world’s attractions however, now we have false Christian prosperity doctrines, massive friendship with the world system, denominations galore, false world religions (still paganism), and a false rapture doctrine. The symbiotic synthesis of the woman who rides the beast of Revelation 17 has come full circle. Her cup is truly full of all the abominations that maketh desolate the true worship of Jesus Christ. She truly is an enigma, a mystery to those who do not have the eyes to see her as she truly is or to hear the words of a watchman who is sounding the alarm.
But, there are more of us watchmen (men and women) scattered over the entire world. We are not affliated with any organization and in a very real sense “die daily”. When we do physically die it is an aftereffect of having already made our eternal decision of who we obey which is the true Word of God Jesus Christ.
As for the aforementioned “multitude of professing Christians in their State sanctioned Churches” - Where is the cry of the righteous, the lament of a Jeremiah, or the repenting of Nineveh? Where are those Peter’s who will say “we ought to obey God rather than men???” Where are the people who are willing to die for their faith? Surely not in America where she has been compromised. America has been compromised. She is comatose in a semi-catatonic state while forgetting that thousands of Christians die for their faith every year.
Christians here have abrogated their birthright as the true spiritual seed that God promised Abraham and has gone after strange gods and idols.
The day of reckoning is at hand. Judgment begins at the house of God.
And the persecutions continued…
Satan has learned his craft well. He has harmonized and homogenized Christianity with the empire “system”. Christianity grew by leaps and bounds when the State murdered them by the scores. Satan knew that by neutralizing them and their absorption into and with the State; that he would try to water down their testimony by false doctrine, syncretic world beliefs, and self submission to inclusiveness of pagan worship. Just turn on the television nowadays for details. Television is now the “reality center” for most Americans. Hollywood is an abomination.
The “come out of her” admonishment that the Word of God attests to is NOT being heeded. The trap and snare has already been set for a long time now and is ready to be sprung.
But the Lord will preserve a remnant…
Satan with his covert (hidden) operations has most people in the world crying out for change and they not knowing that they must repent and turn to the only God and Savior the world has ever known Jesus Christ. The nebulous change that they clamor for is antichrist. They have entered into the dialectic and don’t even realize they are in the world but not of the world. The change-hope-believe speak is demonic. They are like sheep to the slaughter who try to continue the dialog and preserve the relationship.
2 Tim 3:12-17:
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
1 Peter 4:12-14:
12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
______________________
The true Christians who joyfully go to their deaths are truly blessed. They have nothing to loose and everything to gain. The Devil (Satan) was beat at the cross at Calvary. The place of the skull (Golgotha) is still there to this very day.
If you are reading this for the first time and do not know Jesus Christ – know that Jesus Christ is real and he died for your sins. We are all sinners and apart from a Holy God. The Lord of Glory came to earth to rescue a dying world. And yes, Jesus Christ does love YOU. But, He will not force His salvation on anyone. You have to want it. He stands at the door to your heart and knocks to be let in.
The world system only offers false promises, lies, and false hope. Only Jesus Christ who is God can and will save you and set you free. This is the good news. He will never leave you nor forsake you. I am a witness to that. No matter what you have to go through in life, no matter how much pain, disappointment, failure, even death – just remember – Jesus loves you so much that He died for your sins. Will you accept Him right now into your heart as Lord and Savior?
The Lord said it best:
“for where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them”.
This is what the true church of Jesus Christ is all about…

The Coming Storms

(and what you can do about it)

6/21/09

What will a man give in exchange for his soul? In this regard money means nothing however; righteousness (or right standing with God) means everything. That is why when the storms come – either you have the oil in your lamp or, you don’t. If you do not have that seal of protection; you will perish and be swept away (unfortunately, not by the Rapture).
The storms are coming and the decisions have been made. When the rains come crashing down, it will be too late. The door to the ark will have been shut. God did say he will never send another flood however; the flood that Matthew 24 references, is a metaphor (flood) and unless you have the proper spiritual eyewear on, it will be too late.
The two beasts of Revelation 13 will be judged as a final last stand to a very old marriage of politics and religion that has spanned the ages and has eventually killed its host as a parasite that eats away from within and migrates to another entity.
The world’s empires attest to this un-holy relationship as further codified in Revelation as:
Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece (have fallen)
Rome (one is)
America (must continue a short space)
Jerusalem (Israel is final beast government for tribulation period)
Rev 17:8 –
8The 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.
9And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains (think pyramids or empires), on which the woman sitteth.
10And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
Rev 17:18 –
18And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Speaking of the two witnesses which identifies that (or the) great city:
Rev 11:7-8 –
7And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

8And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
That great city is Jerusalem.
Sodom = an illicit spiritual union between its members.
Egypt = was the original pyramidal world system structure and spiritually corrupt as she enslaved its members (if you still don’t believe she exists – just look on the back of your dollar bill).
The storm clouds gather, the war machines ready themselves, and the remnant cry out to the multitude…
It has long been wondered how the world’s reserve currency built largely on credit will come crashing down. Now it seems the picture becomes clearer:
The second law of thermodynamics:
- is an expression of the universal principle of increasing entropy, stating that the entropy of an isolated system which is not in equilibrium will tend to increase over time, approaching a maximum value at equilibrium.
The machinations in the financial world are furiously spinning to a conclusion while the vultures stand ready to eat their prey. The end game will be in shock. It will catch people off guard. It will result in the changing of the power elite for the last time…
In the days of Noe (Noah), the people went on eating, drinking, being given in marriage. That prophecy will be fulfilled again.
For those who desire to stay in spiritual Egypt will get destroyed in the coming flood. But, the people who do know their God shall be strong and do exploits. There is an absolute perfect and distinct symbiotic relationship between the 5 wise virgins of Matthew 25 and the 144,000 “virgins” of Revelation 14. Only those with eyes to see and ears to hear can accept this.
The remnant believers in Jesus Christ still call out to the multitude who still placate themselves and remain in their institutional confines. The clarion call has been made. The die has been cast and, the reckoning will soon begin. Just like Jesus said – let the dead bury their dead. There is no time now to think because most if not all people who have heard this message to come out of Mystery Babylon (the her of Rev 18:4); will stay and they will receive of her plagues…
Mark these watchman’s words – If you are not properly sealed with God’s supernatural protection; your life will be at stake when the money house of cards collapses and when the United States will be absorbed into the final beast government. The handwriting for this is on the wall.
The door to the ark will be shut and the oil will be in the lamps of the righteous.
What you can do:
Become part of God’s true called-out assembly (or ek-klay-see’ah) as reborn spiritual Israel and realize you are the lively stones that make up the temple of God (not some institution). And get this message out to as many people as you can.
Your thoughts, words, actions, deeds, tithes, offerings, and prayers are what build up the remnant body of Christ. Ask the Lord to guide you in this manner and get into his Word. All we’re doing here is passing through but his Word is eternal.
God will always give the seed, the increase, and the blessing. The rest is up to you.
Malachi 3
1Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant (it was Jesus who confirmed this covenant in Daniel 9 not the anti-Christ), whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
2But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
3And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
4Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
5And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
6For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
7Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
8Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
9Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
12And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
13Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
14Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
15And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
17And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
A BLESSING –
This blessing can come in many different ways. It is basically unwarranted favor with God. Here’s how it works – start with what you have and try to bless others. God will bless you in return. But again, it must be done in faith, truth, and righteousness.
Jesus came to his temple the 1st time that was quoted above in Malachi 3:1. When he comes the 2nd time – it will be to his spiritual temple (not made with hands) and he will measure it. The time to make your statement of faith in truth and in spirit is now. Now is the time to “build up your treasure in heaven” by following the Lamb withersoever he goeth.
Because in the grand scheme of things –
Your life and soul is priceless in Jesus’ eyes. In the end – it will all be worth it if you will truly abide in Him.
Will you help us get this word out? Before the door of opportunity closes and the rains come crashing down…

The world system is now being upended by it’s shadow puppeteers. This is the old Illuminist adage of “order out of chaos”, and does not surprise those who have watched the New World Order unfold. What most “Christians” don’t know is that the same mechanism has been deployed in their midst and it is called “Mystery Babylon”. You are being “spinned” as Scott Sepanek demonstrates in his latest post:  Con men and the Truth


From Scott Sepanek at: TheRaptureCult.com

“Life seems like one big giant ad campaign now where disinformation is being spoon fed like a conveyor belt of malignant sound bites.

Take the debacle of the banking system. If you are caught for shoplifting you may go to jail however, all the myriad overleveraging, exotic derivatives, and financial “instruments” that were orchestrated by the largest investment banks in the world (which are now largely insolvent); are not even being remotely investigated. Where did all the money go? Only Bernie Madoff was convicted and he plea-bargained right off the bat probably because they didn’t want him spilling the beans on who was really implicated. Con man? Absolutely. Almost seems like they offered him up as a scapegoat.” Read the rest of the article>>>

Scott Sepanek is a retired Marine and runs the website TheRaptureCult.com. We spoke with Scott on the Watchmen Live webcast Saturday night and his insights into the role of the “Spiritual Soldier” are most interesting:

By the way, being a watchman is a very lonely job. I can remember in the Marines that at night when everyone else was sleeping (huge metaphor) your mission was to give the alarm in case of impending danger as the “fire watch”. Oddly enough even though it was quite lonely duty, it was also a time when you did your best thinking (what now amounts to praying).
The night denotes darkness (spiritual). Babylon denotes the anti-Christ world system that right now is spinning out of control. It has fallen once and it will fall again.
