Key words beginning with the letter…

"S"

Sand. Building on sand.

Benefits of Hurricanes, Floods, Tornados, Earthquakes and Similar Phenomena of Nature. Benefits? What “benefits?” Rather, terrible losses! Nevertheless, one or another benefit. They educate regarding where not to build dwelling places, urbanizations, businesses, factories, etc. About materials and techniques to be used to avoid so much loss of material resources and lives. Lessons for the poor of the world. Warnings and lessons for impresarios greedy for excessive gain. “Nature” and “Common Sense” are very effective, sensible teachers. Prudent men and women build on a rock-solid foundation; the foolish, on sand or earth, without a foundation. Benefits and punishments without respect of persons. Hurricane Harvey: Punishment on Texas and Houston for the elections of 2016? Or on Houston for having an aggressive lesbian mayor for years? Punishments and lessons for the good and the bad. After the blows of destructive natural phenomena… many blessings! Many lessons! After times of wrong-living… sickness… death… possibilities for great blessings! Fleeing from hurricanes. Fleeing from temptations. Cursing destructive natural phenomena or learning from them? They lead to a fork in the road of life, with three options requiring a supremely important decision. Different faces of nature’s destructive monsters. Prepare in time and for the worst! A new World free of destructive forces!

Selfie. Culture of..

Our culture is experiencing a hostile takeover. We must stop rejecting God if we ever want it to end. Article by Sam Sorbo that analyzes succinctly today’s all-out war by peoples who hate God and Christianity to overthrow the Judeo-Christian ethic, eliminate God and suppress all religion, substituting for them Darwinian evolution, the You Only Live Once dictum, integral intolerance against conservatives, the elevation of feelings above truth; position, power and auto gratification above the correct, decent, right, etc. Reasons and concerns that motivated Kevin and Sam Sorbo to produce the film Let there be LIGHT for those who are in darkness.

Seven hills of Rome

The First Beast of Revelation 13. He has seven heads, ten horns and a blasphemous name. Act 1, Scene 1, of the Fearful Drama of Two Great Apocalyptic Beasts. The first beast comes up out of the sea. Meaning of “sea.” Daniel sees four beasts rising out of the sea. Identity of the seven heads of the first beast. They are “seven mountains.” They are “seven kings.” Solid reasons for saying they are not the seven hills of Rome, seven Roman emperors or seven forms of Roman government, but seven earthly kingdoms. One of the seven heads-mountains-kings was “mortally wounded.” Rome was built on seven hills or mounds, and not on real mountains. “Mountain” signifies “kingdom” in prophetical language. The “ten horns” are “ten kings,” and these “ten kings” are ten earthly kingdoms. So are the “seven kings… mountains… heads.” They are not contemporary. The four heads of the leopard-beast seen by Daniel are four kingdoms “different” one from the other and appear in sequence. Six of the seven kings-mountains-heads identified. Examples of blasphemous names taken by rulers of Egypt, Babylon and Rome. The first beast is “like a leopard,” with feet like a bear and the mouth of a lion. The “great, fiery red dragon” has seven heads and ten horns. He gives his power, throne and authority to the first beast. Who authorized him to do it, and why?

Satan, devil, enormous red dragon. Authority and power given to Satan

Terrifying Mass Murder in Las Vegas. “Pure evil?” But, “God is in control," says Max Lucado. Is that so? Then, why did he not take action to avoid the killing of 58 people and the wounding of 527? Among 22,000 spectators at a musical show in Las Vegas, scenes of blood, screams of pain and horror, of hundreds of dead and wounded, of desperately running this way and that to escape from the bullets, or of valiantly remaining on the site to help victims. Minds without God: Stephen Paddock, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-Tung, Pol Pot. Why does not God annihilate such evil ones before they act? Various reasons identified and analyzed. God has absolute control over his plan for humanity and the material universe. That plan includes ceding Satan and his agents on earth certain powers and allowing him to exercise them for specific purposes and limited times. Why? The suffering and premature death of innocents. Is God near people who vehemently reject him? Present on battle fields and places like Las Vegas? In the casinos of Las Vegas? How to have God not only near but also within. Secure and saved eternally! How to assure such an outcome.

Seventh king-beast of Revelation.

The SIGN of the SEVENTH KING-KINGDOM-BEAST. Astonishing SIGN for modern times! Do you perhaps not have any knowledge of it? SEVEN KINGS-KINGDOMS-BEASTS. Five have fallen; one is, and the other has not yet come. The “OTHER” is the SEVENTH. “The seven heads... are… seven kings. Five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he comes he must remain only a little while.” Revelation 17:9-10. When does the Seventh King make his entry on the world stage? When did the Roman Empire really end? History perverted and the errors propagated by preachers, teachers and writers. Edward Gibbons, Will Durant and others testify. Relevant historical facts highlighted. The myth of a “Byzantine Empire.” The healing of the wound that seemed to be mortal and its significance for determining the end of the Roman Empire. The nature of the Seventh King-Kingdom-Beast. “…when he comes he must remain only a little while.”  The identity of the Seventh King. How the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics fills precisely the parameters of the prophecy-sign of the Seventh King. A prophecy fulfilled 1,827 years after it was proclaimed! Be on guard, citizens of the world, for the SIGN of the EIGHTH KING-KINGDOM-BEAST! This one GOES to PERDITION! He is the last! He is also known prophetically as the “the LITTLE HORN.”

Sex and Love

Can you tell me what love is? Truly, I want to know. Youth, Roman Catholic priests, Pentecostals and evolutionists give unsatisfactory answers. The author presents his credentials. Then, offers what he trusts will be a reasonable, consistent and encompassing answer, though not exhaustive. Bad loves. Good loves. Who to love. What to love. How to love with all your strength. Positive actions define love. So do attributes. What love sustains beyond the death of the physical body? What love never ends? How does your love compare?

What are the healthy, good kinds of love? Would you have the necessary credentials to identify and define them correctly? The God of love identifies and defines at least twelve healthy, pure types of love. These are presented, with relevant Bible texts. What it means to love “with all your strength.” Positive actions define healthy, pure love. Also, attributes assigned to love by the God of love. Four beautiful abstracts illustrate this article.

Sex change, Third sex, sex surgery

JEWS TODAY Missing out? Seeing present-day signs for which they themselves are responsible, but missing their meaning and significance. Jerusalem freed from Gentile rule, June 5-10, 1967. A sign for Jews and Gentiles. “Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” Jesus prophecy fulfilled. His credentials as Prophet validated. Jews today should see it. Jews today who have given up on God and a Messiah. Jews who have not given up but are blinded by the offensive crucifix. Roman Catholicism is not the religion of the prophet of Nazareth. Testimony of Hans Küng, Roman Catholic historian. Persecutions of Jews by Catholics. Jews today honor-bound to search pass apostate Christianity for the true Jesus and his spiritual kingdom. Hundreds of thousands of Jews have been convinced Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah, including many, many rulers and priests. God’s providential protection of the Jewish people. Their astonishing history of survival. Why? Reasons given. The “fulness of the Gentiles” has come in. Another sign before our eyes. Gentiles turning away from God in vast numbers. Neither Jews nor Gentiles should miss these signs. Time, now, to ACT! Or forever miss out on the blessings promised.

SIGNS taking place today in JEWS and GENTILES. ARTICLE. Are you aware of them? Are you a part of them? Do you not care? To IGNORE them is to risk future DANGERS! The potent sign in 1967 having to do with Jerusalem’s being trodden underfoot by the Gentiles until their times should come to an end. The liberation of Jerusalem from Gentile rule in 1967 is among the most important signs of all times. The event was publicly foretold by a Jew 1,934 years before its astonishing unfolding. God’s undying love for the Jews and how he has protected them from complete extermination foretold by a Jew of the first century. The fantastic vision given to another Jew about a multitude of Jews being rescued and glorified during the days previous to the end of the world and time. Gentiles. A mixture of sensual signs, libertine and rebellious, seen in masses of present-day Gentiles. Concisely identified. The omnipresent Sign of Mammon, mostly invisible to the very religious people who are responsible for its existence, though it is seen even by the worldly. Present, like a bird of evil omen, wherever the very false Prosperity Gospel is preached, tithes are collected, religious objects are sold, etc. The robust Sign of the False Prophet.

The LAST DAY of TIME. Going out into the FUTURE and looking back at planet Earth in the 20th and 21st centuries. Composite image, followed by a text highlighting the benefits of transporting oneself, mentally and spiritually, to places and times of the past and the future. The author says: “I invite you to accompany me to an observation platform set up for us on the LAST DAY of TIME, with the purpose of identifying and analyzing Events and currents in the Earth of the 20th and 21st centuries.” The significance of the Seventh Angel near the platform, with his Seventh Trumpet. A fictitious scenario or future reality? Regarding prophetical projections: “Be careful, beloved friend, to not ridicule and reject prematurely, before obtaining the knowledge necessary for sound, wise judgements!” Of times and periods. How much time transpires between where we are in the 21st century and the very Last Day of Time? Can human beings lengthen or shorten it? The factors of mind set, attitudes and actions; rebellious incredulity or informed, positive convictions.

Soul

Flight of the Falcon Heavy; Flight of the Soul-Spirit. An analogy. Part 1. Subject: Of weights, noises and cargos. Adaptable for classes, conferences or messages. Substantial text with a number of points and applications. A JPEG image (slide) is included, with the sequence of graphics and texts. The weight of the Falcon at the moment of liftoff. The weight of the Soul-Spirit when it lifts off from the physical body. Sounds heard at both liftoffs, or associated with them. Cargo of the Falcon. Cargo of the pure Soul-Spirit. Cargo of the impure Soul-Spirit. Relevant Bible texts cited.

The tense flight of Starman to the First Orbit. The obligatory flight of the Soul-Spirit to the Frist Landing. Part 2 of the series: Flight of the Falcon Heavy; Flight of the Soul-Spirit. An analogy. Adaptable for classes, conferences or sermons. Ample text, with numerous points and applications. Includes an image (slide) in JPEG, with annotations on the sequence of graphics and texts. The Tesla car is the lustrous vehicle that Starman rides into space. Analogously, the physical body is the terrestrial vehicle by means of which the Soul-Spirit transports and manifest itself in the material world. Both perish in the material universe. Neither Starman nor a great number of human beings discern clearly the extremely important differences between their own natures and that of their respective vehicles. Some of these are pointed out and contrasted in this Analogy. Many humans conceive of themselves as animals, nothing more. The vision of Elon Musk and SpaceX goes far beyond just taking cargos into space. Space tourism. Colonization of planet Mars. God planned Earth to be humankind’s habitat. Does the obsession of some to leave Earth and establish outposts on other worlds contravene the plan and purpose of the Creator for humans? The angels were assigned their own domain. Lucifer and his compatriots left it, with disastrous consequences. Judgement after death. Angels minister to those who inherit eternal life. Every Soul-Spirit has to ascend to the First Celestial Landing. Don’t PANIC! Every hour, 6,392 Souls-Spirits ascend to the First Landing. What happens there? Is your name listed in the Book of Life?

Part 3 The Unhappy Space Flight of Starman in His Tesla Roadster to an Encounter with Eventual Total Destruction. The Pleasant Flight of the Pure Soul-Spirit to PARADISE, its Second Landing in Celestial Places. These are the major subjects of Part 3 of the Analogy between the Flight of the Falcon Heavy and the Flight of the Soul-Spirit. Some life-orienting subjects and Bible texts are:

The form and appearance of the Pure Soul-Spirit when it puts off its earthly physical body and enters spiritual regions. The apostle Paul represents it as “naked.” Analysis of 2 Corinthians 5:1-8. “…clothed… not… naked.”

Does the Pure Soul-Spirit that has just left the deceased physical body have “substance and form?” Analysis of 1 Thessalonians 5:23. The meaning of “…the spirit” returns “to God that gave it,” in Ecclesiastes 12:7. In the case of the Soul-Spirit that has left the dead physical body, his right of free will is revoked!

The meaning of “…it has not yet been revealed what we shall be,” in 1 John 3:2.

The form, shape and appearance of God who is Spirit.

Locomotion of the Soul-Spirit just freed from the physical body. “…carried by the angels to Abraham’s side.” “My desire is to DEPART and be with Christ.”  “…I know that the putting off of my body will be soon.” After Souls-Spirits come out of deceased physical bodies, do they have self-locomotion? Actions preprogramed in the Soul-Spirit.

The Soul-Spirit of the person who dies “in the Lord” shall not come into judgment.” It “will not be judged.” This is what Jesus Christ teaches in John 5:25.

The jubilant Flight to Paradise!

Paradise! “What no eye has seen, nor ear Heard, nor the heart of man conceived…” “I know a man in Christ who… was caught up into Paradise...”

Where is Starman and the Tesla Roadster as of the present?

Many more commentaries and applications.

Suffering

Beyond Your SufferingARTICLE. God did not heal the apostle Paul, nor the evangelist Timothy, of their perennial physical illnesses. No present-day Christian is superior to those illustrious workers in the Kingdom of God. Nevertheless, great multitudes of believers today are convinced they have the undeniable right to be miraculously healed. Their intense preoccupation with physical healing is a symptom of emotional-spiritual ills dangerous to the soul and spirit. This concise article highlights factors of much, much greater importance.
