"Deadly Deception"
Transcript:
America you are deceived into thinking that division shall allow for you to continue to stand! For the very fibers of your nation are torn and your soul is weary and tattered! Your enemies have already orchestrated your fall and you have fallen right into their trap, for their plans have worked perfectly!
America you are now at the brink of dismantling everything that you used to stand for and stand upon! Righteousness, Peace and the Pursuit of a Glorious Destiny with your Creator. However by your own fault you shall mow instead turn your history into a heap of ashes and become just another nation that has also lost her way.
America, know this Truth, that what shall soon come upon you, you are not prepared for! Yet for your failure to Believe and to Repent unto Me, what shall befall upon you is exactly what you deserve!

2 Thessalonians Chapter 2
"Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by any letter as from us, telling you that [The Day of The Lord] is at hand."
"And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of Heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of by a mighty wind. And the heavens departed as like a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And they said unto the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne (Jesus Christ), and from the wrath of the Lamb (Jesus Christ),: For "The Great Day of His Wrath" is come; and who shall be able to stand on that day?"...Revelation 6:12-17
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for [The Day of The Lord] shall not come, except there come a falling away first (Apostasy), and that man of sin (The antichrist), be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is worshipped and called God;... so that he, pretending to be God and sitting within the temple of God, shewing and saying that he is God."
"Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? Therefore ye know what withholdeth (Gods Holy Spirit, The Restrainer of evil), that he might be revealed in Gods time. For the mystery of iniquity is already at work: but only God who now letteth will let, until His Restrainer be taken out of the way. And then shall that wicked one (the antichrost), be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of satan with all power and signs and lying wonders (the false prophet), As well as with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them (the unbeliever's and unrepentant), that perish with them; because they received not The Love of The Truth (Jesus Christ), that they might be saved."
"And for this cause, God shall send them The Strong Delusion, that they should believe a lie: so that all might be damned who believed not in The Love of The Truth (Jesus Christ), but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Therefore we are bound to give thanks always unto God;... for you brethren, beloved of the Lord;... because God hath from the beginning chosen you unto salvation through sanctification of His Holy Spirit and because of your Belief in His Truth: Whereunto this is good news unto you that he has called you unto the obtaining of The Eternal Glory of The Love of The Truth of our Lord Jesus Christ."
"Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold onto the traditions in which ye have been taught, whether His Word, or by our epistle. Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, who is God, and both Father and Son, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope, through Grace and Comfort unto our Hearts, stablish you in every good word and spiritual work, such as Faith and Repentance."
New Testament Commentary on 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2:
Specifically, unbelievers will be deceived by the false prophet and t antichrist and perish because they did not receive the love of the truth of God so as to be saved. The phrase the love of the truth appears only here in the New Testament, and adds a compelling thought to Paul’s argument. That the unregenerate are eternally lost, not because they did not hear or understand the truth, but because they did not love it. The truth includes both “the word of truth, the good news gospel” (Col. 1:5), and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is truth incarnate (John 14:6; cf. 1:17; Eph. 4:21). Unbelievers do not welcome either Jesus or the gospel He proclaimed. Their antipathy to the truth is not intellectual, but moral, and their self-imposed blindness leaves the unredeemed under a damning level of satanic deception. It is not surprising, then, that antichrist will deceive the entire lost world.
The Bible clearly teaches that those who go to hell do so because they reject the truth. Speaking of Jerusalem’s rejection of the truth, Jesus lamented, “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling” (Matt. 23:37). John 3:19–20 says, “This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.” To the unbelieving Jews Jesus declared, “You do not have His word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He sent. You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life” (John 5:38–40). He reiterated that truth later in John’s gospel:
Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM He, you will die in your sins …. But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me. Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me? He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God. (John 8:24, 45–47)
Because the unredeemed did not receive the love of the truth they “do not know God and … do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus” (1:8). They willfully choose to love their sin, believe in satan's lies, and hate the gospel and the Lord Jesus Christ. They are like those Jewish leaders described in John 12:42–43 who “believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing unto Him, for fear that they would be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.” In Matthew 10:37 Jesus taught that salvation involves loving Him above all else: “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.”
The terrifying reality is that God will seal the fate of all those who hate the good news gospel by sending upon them a deluding supernatural spiritual influence so that they will believe what is false. Though, as noted above, the false prophet and the antichrist will deceive people with satanically empowered false miracles, signs, and wonders, their deception only will succeed because it fits into God’s sovereign purpose. For God will allow and sentence unbelievers to accept evil as if it were good and all lies as if they were the truth. Those who continually choose falsehood will be inextricably caught in this web of lies. In the words of Proverbs 5:22, “His own iniquities will capture the wicked, and he will be held with the cords of his sin.” They will be abandoned by God to the consequences of their choice to reject the gospel.
The story of Pharaoh is a grim reminder that God will judicially harden the hearts of those who persist in hardening their hearts against the truth. Because Pharaoh hardened his heart (Ex. 8:15, 32; 9:34; 1 Sam. 6:6), God hardened Pharaoh’s heart, fixing him in a path from which he could never return (Ex. 4:21; 7:3; 9:12; 10:1, 20, 27; 11:10; 14:4, 8).
In Isaiah 6:9–10, a passage quoted repeatedly in the New Testament (Matt. 13:14–15; Mark 4:12; Luke 8:10; John 12:40; Acts 28:26–27; Rom. 11:8), God said to Isaiah, “Go, and tell this people: ‘Keep on listening, but do not perceive; keep on looking, but do not understand.’ Render the hearts of this people insensitive, their ears dull, and their eyes dim, otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and return and be healed.” God told Isaiah that He would sovereignly prevent hard-hearted rejecters of the truth from responding to his preaching. Similarly, Jesus spoke in parables not only to reveal spiritual truth to believers but also to conceal it in judgment on unbelievers (Matt. 13:11–13; Luke 8:10). There comes a day that those who persistently reject the truth will be unable to believe it; God will harden their hearts and fix them in the path they have chosen.
In the future, God will again use satan as an instrument of His judgment, in order that the world may be judged;... all those who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness. Through the false prophet and the antichrist, satan will delude the world into believing the lie that his antichrist is God. Unbelievers will be confirmed in that belief because they will choose not to love the truth, but rather to take pleasure in this wickedness. Therefore by denying the truth they willfully choose to accept and believe in a lie. "Therefore the world is lost because they reject the truth and believe in a lie."
Only through seeking The Truth of The Love of Jesus Christ and allowing it to set your spiritual soul, spiritually free, from the lies and from the sin of the world, and only through being filled with Gods Holy Spirit of Truth, and by Repenting of all of your past, present and future sins unto Jesus Christ The One and Only Lord and Savior, will anyone ever be blessed and protected by God and then make it into the Eternal Kingdom of Heaven one day, either after they physically die, or when they spiritually get Raptured, whichever event happens to come first. Ignorance may be bliss, but denying the Truth and believing in a lie instead of Gods Truth leads only to eternal damnation.

"Charity"
Transcript:
"Jesus said unto them;... "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second commandment is also like unto it;.... That thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy love thyself. Upon these two commandments hang The Law and The Prophecies of The Prophets." Matthew Chapter 22:36-40 (King James Version)
"Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. For there are diversities of gifts, but they are all of the same Holy Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but they are all of the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but this is all done by the same God which worketh all in all of the body." 1 Corinthinans Chapter 12:1-6 (King James Version)
"For the manifestation of The Holy Spirit is given unto every man to profit withal. For to one is given by The Holy Spirit the word of Wisdom; to another the word of Knowledge but both are given by the same Holy Spirit; To another Faith; and to another the gifts of Healing but both are given by the same Holy Spirit; and unto another the working of Miracles; but to another the gift of Prophecy; and unto another the discerning of spirits; and even unto another the gift of speaking in divers kinds of tongues; and yet even unto another the interpretation of divers kinds of tongues: But all of these gifts worketh through the One and Only Selfsame Holy Spirit of God; dividing unto every person as He Will. For as The Body is One, and hath many members, and all the members of that One Body, being many, are still of the Same Body: so also are all True Believer's in The Lord God Jesus Christ. For it is by His Holy Spirit that we are all Spiritually Baptized into One Body, whether we be jews or gentiles, and whether we be bond servant or free servant; for we have all been made to drink of the Selfsame Holy Spirit of The Lord God Jesus Christ. For the Body is not just made up of one member, but of Many." 1 Corinthians Chapter 12:7-14 (King James Version)
"Even though I may speak with the tongues of both humans and of Angels, yet I have not Charity, then I sound nothing more than clamouring brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I may have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and even though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, yet I have not Charity, then I am nothing. And even though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and even though I give my body to be burned as a martyr for the Lord Jesus, and I have not Charity, it shall profiteth me nothing. For Charity suffereth long, and is kind; Charity envieth not; Charity vaunteth not itself, and is not puffed up with pride. Charity doth not behave itself unseemly, nor seeketh not her own, nor is it easily provoked, and it thinketh no evil; Charity Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but Rejoiceth in the Truth; Charity Beareth All Things, and Believeth In All the Things of The One True God. Charity Hopeth for all things good, and Endureth in all things: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away; yet Charity never faileth. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is Perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. For when I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became an adult, I put away childish things. For now I may see through a glass, darkly; but then one day I shall see God face to face: also for now, I may only know in part; but then one day I shall know God even as I am known to Him." 1 Corithians Chapter 13:1-12 (King James Version)
"Now abideth in Me Faith, Hope, and Charity, but the greatest of these three is Charity." 1 Corithians Chapter 13:13 (King James Version)
"Therefore let everything you do be done with Charity." 1 Corinthians Chapter 16:14 (King James Version)
"And above all these things put on Charity, which is the bond of Gods Perfection." Colossians Chapter 3:14 (King James Version)
"Now the greatest of My Commandments is Charity; Charity out of a Pure Heart, and of a Good Conscience, and of Faith Unfeigned:" 1 Timothy Chapter 1:5 (King James Version)
"Follow after Charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto humans, but unto God: which is why no human understandeth this tongue; because in the Spiritual he speaketh mysteries. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto humans to edify, and to exhort, and to comfort them with The Word Of The Lord. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth The Church Body. I would not rather that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye all prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except that he interpret, so that The Church Body may receive edifying." 1 Corinthians Chapter 14:1-5 (King James Version)
Concerning The End Times: "Trials And Tribulations"
Transcript:
"And as Jesus 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? 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 they shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of Wars and Rumours of Wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all of 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 Pestilences, and Earthquakes, In Divers Places. All these are The Beginning of Sorrows. Then shall they Deliver You Up To Be Afflicted, and Kill You: and Ye Shall Be Hated of All Nations For My Name's Sake. And Then Shall Many Be Offended, and Shall 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 All Those Who Shall Endure Unto The End, the Same Shall Be Saved. And My Gospel of The Kingdom Shall Be Preached In All The World For A Witness Unto All Nations; and Then Shall The End Come. For When Ye Therefore Shall See The Abomination Of Desolation, Spoken of by Daniel The Prophet, Standing In The Holy Place, (Whoso Readeth, Let them Understand:) and Then Let Them Which Be In Judaea Flee Into The Mountains: And Let Them Which Are On The Housetops Not Come Down To Take Anything Out Of Their House: Neither Let Them Which Is In The Field Return Back To Take His Clothes.
And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 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 elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 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: And then shall appear the sign 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. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 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, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matthew 24:3-51
