The Temple Rebuild


Through research Author Robert Cornuke has provided the most convincing information regarding the location of the temple mount.
Many today are finding cause to pause because of the information and evidence that he has uncovered. Many through the years have accepted that the current location of the temple mount to be located under the Golden Mosque in Jerusalem. Since the return of the Jews to their homeland Israel, many religiously go to the Western Wailing Wall. Though the wall is not worshipped it is still held in high regard due to the belief that this wall was once built by King Herod.
Jews from all forms of life and belief come to the wall folding papers containing prayers and are slid into the cracks of the walls. Their prayers are for the rebuilding of their temple and peace finally come to Jerusalem. The Mosque was placed on the temple mount by marauding muslims that explained that the prophet mohammed was taken into the heavens by a horse there and now today is considered the 3rd most holiest muslim site. Of course, those that know the manipulation of stories by muslims understand that this story was just a fabrication in an attempt to keep the Jews from rebuilding their Temple. The Al-Aqsa Mosque was originally built in 705 CE. It has been rebuilt numerous times and has been destroyed by earthquakes twice the last time was in 1033CE.
In 1099 CE during the first crusade Jerusalem was taken and the Mosque was not taken down. Instead the Crusaders called the Mosque Solomon’s Temple removed the crescent moon from the top of the dome and placed a Cross. This sealed the identity of the temple mount and has been seen as such by Jews, Christians and Muslims. Jews have used this site to discount the prophecies of Jesus. Saying that if Jesus was the Son of God then why is the Wall still standing? Why is the foundation of the mount still here? Muslims say the site is Holy to them because of ties to the prophet. And, Christians are basically ignorant. Oops did I say that out loud? One thing that I admire about true crusaders today like Robert Cornuke is his unmovable faith in the words of Jesus. If Jesus said it then that settles it. If facts don’t support what Jesus said then Bob Cornuke believes he has misunderstood the facts or he is simply wrong. However, he holds to the understanding that the words of Jesus could never be wrong. With that stubbornness of faith it has led him to discover some of the greatest facts in this century. Facts that have put the religious world and not to mention Israel, on their ear. Bob Cornuke was led to research the writings of Flavius Josephus and also the writings of the Pilgrim of Bordeaux written in 333 CE. The writings of Flavius Josephus in 70 CE record the destruction of the Temple. Josephus writes that if one had never seen the temple then you would not know where the temple rested for nothing but dirt and grass remain. The only thing that gives witness that there was a temple is the Roman Fort Antonio that once looked over the temple.
The Roman Fort Antonio was erected to look over the Temple mount and house the 10th Roman Legion. This fort housed 10,000 people. 6,000 soldiers and 4,000 people to care for the soldiers. It basically was a town to itself. Inside the gates of the Praetorium were not just barracks for the soldiers but food stores and other stores for shopping. The stables for all the horses and blacksmithing, everything needed to sustain the 10th legion. Rome went to great lengths to care for its military and no expense was spared in the ornateness in the construction of the fort. Many forts like fort Antonio have been discovered in the past and the construction was normally a 36 acre walled construction, like the one in Jerusalem.
The Pilgrim of Bordeaux writes that in 333 CE that Fort Antonio was still visible while standing at the church of the Holy Sepulcher looking east. He stated that the walls of the old Roman Praetorium were still standing. That would be the Wailing Wall if we were looking at it today. These were two eyewitnesses that recorded that what we know as the traditional temple mount is actually an old Roman Fort Antonio. Is there more? Why of course. Bob found that Archeologist Eli Shukron who is the Director of Excavations of the City of David, was digging under the Wailing Wall known as the walls that King Herod built.
Under the foundation of the wailing wall Eli Shukron found two coins dating back to 20 CE. The coin was an ancient bronze of Valerius Gratus, Prefect under Tiberius who reigned from 15-26 CE. The minting date as well as its earliest distribution date was 20 CE. This coin that was found underneath the huge foundation stone had fallen from the pocket of someone as they were placing these huge foundation stones. What is the problem with this? King Herod died in 4 BC. 24 years before this coin was minted. If Herod built the Wailing Wall then explain how this coin ended up underneath the foundation stone of the Wailing Wall. It could only mean that Herod did not build the Wailing Wall and that whoever built this wall did so in 20 AD, 24 years after Herod’s death. Do we know who was building a wall at that time? Yes we do. Rome was building the Roman Fort for the 10th legion, Fort Antonio. A 36 acre fort.
The interesting fact is this, what we know about Roman pride. Anything you can build the Romans could build it bigger. The Temple was huge as a 12 acre site. The Roman Fort would be 3 times the size of the temple area.
Is there any more physical evidence to prove that the site we commonly refer to as the temple site is an old roman fort? Yes the temple was said to be situated over the Gihon Springs. Why? Because of all of the animal sacrifices, water would be essential to wash away all of the blood. Without water the temple would soon become a toxic site. There is no water on the old roman fort site. The closest water is the Gihon Spring south of the current temple mount area. The location that the temple was said to be directly placed over. How could this be? How could we make such a huge mistake about the location of the temple mount? Because, there was not one stone left standing on one another just like Jesus prophesied. The temple had been completely destroyed. There was nothing left of it. Thousands of years go by and then it was a guessing game. The biggest piece of evidence is the location of the Gihon Springs.

The only thing left that would resemble evidence of the temple was Fort Antonio. Eli Shukron began excavating where the temple should have been. Remember, the ancient temple had been torn down and rebuilt over time and again over the same site. Built over ancient temples from the original Solomon’s Temple built on the threshing floor bought by his father King David. The threshing floor once owned by a Jebusite named Ornan. The Jebusite Kingdom would be taken by King David and known as the city of David. The temple would be placed on the threshing floor in the city of David next to water, the Gihon Spring. Eli began excavating in this location. Just 30 feet from the Gihon Spring he found an old temple site.
The walls of the ancient temple were still there and in the floor a hole was carved out where olives were ground to make the anointing oil. The priest would be anointed with oil and would not be allowed to leave the sanctuary. Eli had found a very holy place.
The next thing he found was a channel chiseled out of the stone. The channel was created for carrying all of the blood.
In the corner of the stone wall he found a hole chiseled through the stone where the sheep would be tied to before the sacrifice. There were bones, animal bones, found all over the place. Eli had found the ancient temple site! In this site he also located a stele.
The only one of its kind in Jerusalem. Eli built a steel box around it and padlocked it to protect it.
This was surely a Holy place. Now, some thoughts of my own. First, why would Jesus tell the disciples that the glamorous Temple that King Herod built known as one of the 8 wonders of the world at that time, would be destroyed with not one stone left upon another? Why would this Holy place be so completely destroyed? Surely, God would want His house protected? To answer this question we have to go back to the time of the first temple. King David was attested to by God to be a man after God’s own heart. Yet, God would not let this man whom he favored build his temple. Why? Because, David had shed so much blood and was known as a man of war. It would be Solomon, whose name meant peace that would be allowed to build this Holy structure. We read through the biblical text that men like Solomon, men of peace, were chosen to rebuild the structure. As time goes by, we have this violent warring King, King Herod, who would slaughter thousands of children in an attempt to destroy the prophesied Messiah. He was known as the rabbi killer with 4400 rabbis murdered at his command. Working with the Romans he perverted the nation of Israel and the religion of Israel as well. How can we imagine that God would use this profane murderer to build His house and corrupt His laws? Unfortunately, by the time Jesus began preaching the Good News that the Kingdom of God had come, the belief had become so twisted and corrupted, rather than praise God for His mercy, most clung to the corrupted religion that Herod had installed. Pieces of the truth had been intermingled with corrupt religious teaching that had nothing to do with the heart of God, just like this magnificent temple that Herod had constructed. What else could God do, but completely destroy what had become a symbol of pagan theology. Just like Israel of old, Herod had combined the image of God with the pagan gods infiltrating Jerusalem. The people were more enthralled by the images and sites, the magnificent buildings and structures than the relationship found through the Kingdom brought to all by the Messiah. Israel couldn’t understand it then and still misunderstand it today. We only have to look back to King David to unveil truths that have been hidden for thousands of years directly related to misunderstanding.
In 1st Chronicles chapter 17 we read about King David declaring to the Prophet Nathan that he was going to build God’s temple. Nathan told David to do everything that is in his heart to do, for God was with him. Nathan believed if anyone should build God a temple it would certainly be the King who was chosen by God when David was just a lowly shepherd boy. It was evident that God favored David. When Nathan got home that night God corrected Nathan’s thoughts. He explained to Nathan to tell the king the following;   and it will be, when your days have ended so that you must go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your seed after you, who shall be from your sons. And I will make his kingdom sure. He shall build Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever. I will be his Father, and he shall be My son. And I will not take My mercy away from him as I took it from him who was before you. And I will settle him in My house, and in My kingdom forever. And his throne shall be established forever.


Men will hear what they hear. David would later tell Solomon what he believed he heard from Nathan which was; And He(God) said to me, Solomon your son shall build My house and My courts, for I have chosen him to be My son, and I will be his Father. And I will establish his kingdom forever if he will always do My commandments and My judgments, as at this day. I want to join with me as we decipher what God actually said that King David failed to understand. God explains to David that He would raise up a son from David’s lineage after his death. And from that lineage He would establish that Kingdom forever. Question 1; Did Solomon’s kingdom last forever? Of course not. Was David dead when Solomon was made king? No. Did God ever call Solomon His son? No. In fact, we know that the only one ever called Son by God was the Messiah Jesus. Mar 9:7 A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.

We know that the message of the Kingdom was preached to those in Israel and soon around the world. We know that the Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached until the end of the age. Then at that conclusion the Kingdom of God will descend from the heavens and be placed in the City of David. The throne of our Lord will be established forever. Why has the temple mount been hidden for so long? Maybe, to keep another Herod from profaning the temple mount. The real question we should be asking is; Why is this mystery being revealed today? I hope this blog has caused you to think about the future and also reflect on the past. Muslims thinking they were blocking Israel's access to their God by building a supposed holy site on the temple mount is probably nothing more than a roman stable. Let's keep looking up, Jesus is coming soon!

Today is the day that the Lord has made. A day specifically for you. The success of this day will be determined by your actions. Start this day with the knowledge that wherever you may be you are right where God needs you. You are where God desires you to be. You might be praying, Father take me out of this situation. Understand, success is not determined by what you feel, but by His will. You have prayed I want to do your will Father. Give yourself to accomplishing that task. Fulfill the will of the Father. That is your daily bread. Your nourishment is fulfilling the will of the Father. While you accomplish the will of the Father you will see the advancement of His Kingdom in the Earth as it is in Heaven. When the three Hebrew men were given the choice to turn or burn they chose to advance the will of the one and only true God. They chose to advance the Kingdom. They sought the Kingdom first and His righteousness. Even when the fiery furnace killed those who were to throw them into the furnace they willingly walked inside. No one threw them in, they walked inside. It was the will of the Father. No one else can survive what you have been called to accomplish! When you are walking according to the will of the Father and the advancement of the Kingdom you walk in a fire quenching power! You have a day of victory prepared for you today. Fulfill the will of God and watch the Kingdom of God advance in your life. The same Spirit that dwelt in Jesus now dwells in you. It is a fire quenching, devil beating, grave robbing power of God. Not by your might, but by His Spirit! Rejoice for the day that the Lord has made for you today!

The Formula for Success

The greatest obstacle for most people is how to live their life in the fullness of joy that it was intended to be lived. Jesus stated that He came to give mankind a life of abundance.
(John 10:10) We often live our lives according to the approval of others. Of course, most folks will argue this statement by saying that they live their life to their own standards and not to others. I can tell you that we all live under the approval of someone. It could be a parent, mentor or friend. Is there something wrong with this? Of course not. However, our success or failure of living an abundant life is not determined by the approval of others. In fact, your success or failure will be determined by how you see yourself. While many will scoff at this notion it is something that is biblical. In fact, lets begin with the words of the Son of God, Jesus. 
 Mat 6:31  Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

What? Don't be worried about what to eat or drink or what to wear? Why would the Son of God say this? Aren't we all worried about these things in some form or fashion? How many times do we get dressed and ask someone else how we look? Isn't that a form of care about how we are clothed? Sure, I know there are folks who only have the clothes on their back and wonder where their next outfit will come from. However, I think we fail to see the complete picture of this. Where should we eat or what do you want to drink. We fail to see that this care that we have about these things are the very seeds that have been planted and give others the premise to believe they have place to dictate to us what they believe we should eat, drink or wear. Our insecurity with who we are has literally given place to the authority others feel they have in our lives. A perfect example is the influx of individuals from just out of college nutritionists to the Presidents wife.
I can remember through times in the past when things were said to be bad for us like eating eggs that later were determined that well it wasn't as bad as we thought. When you begin to visualize who you are and your level of success, you take back the power of creativity and success for your life and remove the power that others have been given through your own insecurity. If I could show you a proven formula of success that would guarantee you a life of abundance would you want it? A simple two step program that would insure success throughout your life? Sounds too good to be true? Understand that it is a proven formula and has been tested and tried for thousands of years without failure. Two steps that will insure abundance in your life. What is it? Jesus said it this way, 
Mat 6:33  But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Two steps that will guarantee success in your life. Seeking after the Kingdom of God and seeking after His righteousness. What is His kingdom and His righteousness? When I was a kid growing up in my father's house my day to day life was constructed through his kingdom and my success was determined by my rightful place in it. I never had to compete for my rightful place a son and heir to my fathers domain. It was a given. Now, what if my thoughts were that I was not good enough? What if my thoughts were that I had to prove my worth? I would be deficient in my success as an heir and would literally invite defeat into my life. My lack of understanding of what was rightfully mine would inhibit my growth all the days of my life. Also, what if my father was not successful? What if I lived in a state of poverty growing up and never knew success in my household? Would that affect my achievement of success? It could. However, there are countless stories of those who rose from rags to riches. How did they do that? It began with what they conceived in their mind.
How you see yourself is how you are. How you envision your life is where the seed of success or failure is planted within you. Success is not determined by the opposition to your goals. It is determined by the root conception of who you believe yourself to become.  To seek the Kingdom of God is basically like doing research for a thesis paper. What is the Kingdom and What is in it? There is limitless possibilities in the Kingdom of God. There is limitless power in the Kingdom of God as well. When you begin to research God and His actions, demeanor and promises, you begin to learn about the Kingdom. You cannot separate the Kingdom from the King. One of the first things you learn about God is how He envisioned things is how He spoke them.
 Gen 1:2  And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 
God created the Earth and the heavens that the Earth rested upon. God realized that the Earth was fruitless and empty and darkness was upon it. In God's mind He saw fruitfulness, abundance and success. How did it get from His mind to actual being? He spoke.
Speaking from your vision of success is a primary process of abundant living. How you bring success into being is by speaking it. If God had said well it's too bad there is no light on the Earth, then light never would have been. Why? Because, He spoke death to the vision in His mind. We usually say it like this where there is a will there is a way. In scripture we call that faith. How you speak is how you believe. Your will is the reflection of your faith. Many times we have dealt with folks that were in church that had no will or faith. They will waffle. Not only do their actions betray them but their speech as well. Life and death are in the power of your tongue. The creativity of your vision is determined by what you speak. You literally call forth the destination of what you conceive in your mind. You can change destination points as well.
If you conceive a thought that is contrary to the vision of abundance that you have in your mind and speak it forth you literally have changed the destination point of travel. Your speech is important. What you say is important. Guard what you say. Say what you believe. Finally, ask God for the path of success and wait for Him to speak it to you. Then when He has given you the plan of success stick with it! God told Abram and Sarai that they would have a child. This child of promise was spoken into existence. However, Abram and Sarai, unable to stay on the path of promise spoke a different destination point by saying maybe through someone else. They never gained knowledge of who they were even after God changed their name to help them realize who they were.
 When we are walking the path of promise we normally want others to help us through affirmation. What is the problem with that? You inject their view of success or failure into your vision. Seek only God's vision and when He gives it to you keep it.  I have heard folks pray for God to send them a spouse and then go to a dating site. What is the problem with that? You are bringing someone else into your path of promise. What you conceive and believe you must walk that path of promise to achieve. If you are going to conceive the thought that if I ask God to bring me a spouse and then through belief pray to God to do just that, then do not waiver from your path of promise. Knowing the Kingdom of God and how God operates gives you great insight on how to pray and how to believe. Jesus then said to seek His righteousness. Another way of saying that is find out how God sees you. When God looks at you does He smile? Does He say this is my child of whom I am well pleased? Does God brag about you? When we choose to live a life devoted to God based through the finished works of Christ on the cross of Calvary, we walk in a new life.
The battle that most believers face is the lack of knowledge that when you are born again there are two natures alive in the individual. One is the Nature of Christ and the other is the sin nature. You can not live in both natures. You have to live to one and die to the other. The picture in your minds eye of how you are seen by God is what determines your success. 
A prime example of this is the story of Job. Job had great success in the Earth. But, understand that living an abundant life doesn't mean you won't have trials. It just means you will walk through the trial and come out on the other side successful. Why? Because you are not moved by what you go through but who you belong to.
 Job lost his wealth, health and children. All of his friends began to urge him to take upon himself a new vision of who they believed him to be. A sinner who had got his just reward. Understand that life and death are in the power of the tongue. Our words can be used to build or destroy. We can speak evil or good. Our faith is what defends against those words. The Apostle Paul said it this way, 
Eph 6:16  Above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the darts of the evil one being kindled.
Job refused this vision and held to the faith of who God said he was. It was is unwavering commitment to who he was that delivered Job from his trial. That was his faith in action. However, understand that it was his faith in his righteousness in God. Job was determined to believe that he was in right standing with God and that belief was his seed of success.What was the door to which the devil attacked Job? His righteousness. How did Job overcome the devil and come out the other side of the trial successfully? His righteousness in God!
Some statistics for you to consider, 50% of Christian Marriages end in divorce, 60% of pastors admit to viewing porn daily on the internet, 65% Christian men daily, 40% Christian women admit to viewing porn daily. 90% of teens admit to having visited a porn site. Out of the 10% of people in the U.S. confess to being Christian with only 3-5% actually attend church. All of these statistics frame one picture that the enemy wants you to behold. The sin nature rather than the righteousness found only in Christ. The path of success has to be chosen. The path of abundance has to be selected. You cannot walk both paths. One has to be chosen. If you are struggling with sin whether it is pornography, alcoholism, drug addiction, whatever the sin may be, only you can stop the cycle of madness you are currently on. You have to choose. How you see yourself is how you are. Search the scriptures. Discover what God has said.
 Mat 5:6  Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness! For they shall be filled. 
Hunger for righteousness and stop the hunger of the sin nature. 
Act 13:10  he said, O son of the devil, full of all guile and of all cunning, hostile to all righteousness, will you not stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?
 
Understand that the sin nature is hostile to all righteousness and it will stop at nothing to pervert righteousness. You have to meet evil cunning ways of the sin nature with the same determination of maintaining your righteousness in Christ.
Rom 1:17  for in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; even as it has been written, "But the just shall live by faith."
Your righteousness is maintained through the action of your faith in it. There is an act of faith that you must perform. I still do this, I look in the mirror and I talk to myself. I quote scripture. I tell myself you are the righteousness in Christ. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Understand that you live a righteous life by faith.
Faith through the righteousness through Christ. Let Christ live, dwell, have it's place in you. Give no life to the sin nature. Give life to the Christ Nature in you!

Php 1:11  being filled with fruits of righteousness through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Your righteousness is through Christ.
You are righteous and have a righteous kingdom in the earth. You maintain the righteousness of Christ by keeping in Him and in His kingdom. You defeat the nature of sin by refusing to live in it. Refusing it's identity. Having that same type of belief that Job had. Refusing the identity others try to place on you and walking in the identity of Christ. You don't have a problem all you need is faith in God!!

The Kingdom as a Blade.....


In the gospel of Mark you will find that Jesus began teaching the people about the Kingdom of Heaven. We can learn from this, that it is God's desire that you know about His Kingdom. There were so many people that Jesus had to get on a boat and push away from the shore to be able to address everyone. This is a witness to the fact, that inside all of us is the desire to know the truth. However, did you realize that there is a qualifier that must be met in order to learn the mysteries of the Kingdom? I was explaining to someone the other day that a teacher is only as good as his student. The student has to humble himself in order to learn. This is a lesson that a teacher has learned many years ago. However, some have failed to understand that learning is a lifelong process. Yes I still learn as you do. One of the things that I always pass on to my students is that I do not profess to know all things and I teach what I have learned from the Master, who does know all things, Jesus our Lord. Jesus began teaching in parables. A parable is a type of analogy. In other words, a story is given that challenges the hearer to use problem solving and decision making in order to understand the underlying meaning of the story given. In western views, it could be seen as being similar to a riddle. Jesus began His teaching about the Sower/Farmer who went forth sowing seed.
 Mar 4:3  Hearken: Behold, the sower went forth to sow: 
Mar 4:4  and it came to pass, as he sowed, some seed fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured it. 
Mar 4:5  And other fell on the rocky ground, where it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth: 
Mar 4:6  and when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 
Mar 4:7  And other fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 
Mar 4:8  And others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing; and brought forth, thirty fold, and sixty fold, and a hundred fold.
After Jesus finished teaching this parable He told them, "he who has ears to hear, let him hear." Then, that was it. End of the teaching. No more was said. Jesus had the men take Him back to shore.

Later, when Jesus was sitting alone with the disciples, people came to Jesus. They asked Jesus to explain to them the meaning of the parable that He had shared earlier. What did Jesus say to them? Mar 4:11  And he said unto them, Unto you is given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all things are done in parables: 

Mar 4:12  that seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest haply they should turn again, and it should be forgiven them. Wow! Jesus explained the requirement to becoming a student. You must humble yourself and seek. Where were the other people? Didn't they hear the same parable? Didn't they hear the same call? Yes, but the ones that have ears to hear are the ones that seek after the truth. All of the people heard the same story. Yet only these few came to Jesus for the answer. It takes your initiative and humbleness to seek the truth. Not many are humble enough to do this. Jesus said, Seek and you shall find. Ask and it will be given. Knock and the door shall be opened! I wonder how many people read these same scriptures over and over and yet never ask? Never seek? Never knock on the Saviors door? These few came and they sought. Jesus proclaims to them that they shall know the Mysteries of the Kingdom! There have been those that have read what I share and never understand the beauty that is placed before them, because they already have themselves indoctrinated into their own beliefs and yes, even if Jesus taught them directly like the multitude that He taught that day on the boat, they will never receive the Mysteries of the Kingdom. In fact, through the recording of the Saviors words He still teaches the masses, Yet only those who humble themselves to learn will receive the Mystery that is hidden inside His glorious Kingdom. Jesus then asked these few, the following question and then gives us a great insight that this parable is a key parable for understanding all of His other parables that He has and will teach. Mar 4:13  And he saith unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how shall ye know all the parables? 
So as we educate ourselves we are going to see other parables unlock before us because of this KEY parable.
In verse 14 Jesus states that the sower sows the word. The Word of God is a seed. It has a growth period, or cycle of time. Also, we know that the word of God is creative and alive.
 Isa 55:11  so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 
God reveals to us that is word is alive and produces. When the word is sown it is sown with that knowledge. The unfortunate thing today is that most people are unaware of this fact. I hear preachers that will preach and use passages of scripture like a charismatic catch phrase rather than honoring it for the power it contains. Then Jesus begins to share the different soils that the seed is cast. We know them. First the wayside, the rocky, the thorns and finally the good ground. The wayside is simply put the ground of ignorance. The majority of people fit into this category. They hear the word and will not humble themselves to ask for it's meaning. They foolishly believe they know it all. So the seed lays out in the open and the devil comes and recovers the seed taking it away. Why? Because, of our misunderstanding. You may think you have it all figured out. However, your lack of humility will cause you to lose the seed of life that has been cast before you. It is your pride that opens the door for the devil to steal the seed of the kingdom. Again, we know we are dealing with the kingdom because everywhere Jesus went, His message was the same. Repent, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. And, He explained to His seekers that the Mysteries of the Kingdom would be given to them.

The next ground was the stony ground. The seed was received and it began to grow. However, something happened. It's roots were scorched. The heat of the sun symbolizes tribulation. What kind of tribulation? It will be  a persecution that comes from having the seed. The seed of the Kingdom is an offense to the sin nature of man and to the devil. This is not a one time test. No you will have this battle daily. The seed of the Kingdom will be battled against your own sin nature. Every time you choose the Kingdom over the world, you boldly declare to yourself and everyone else that you are walking by faith and not by sight. That is why it is called the fight of faith. 
2Ti 4:7  I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith: 
The next ground was the ground of thorns. Again, the seed took root and it grew. However, growing around it was thorns. The thorns choked the plant and killed it. What was the thorns? Cares, riches and pleasures of this world. Cares are your daily problems. It could be health problems, money problems, persecution, your daily struggle. I say your daily struggle for a reason. It is something that you have taken upon yourself. It consumes your every waking thought and even disturbs your sleep. It eats away at relationships, personal wealth, peace of mind. It blinds you to the solutions available to you that are stored in the Kingdom. Riches are best described as the love of wealth. You can be broke and not have a dime in the bank but your love of wealth, your consistent search for it, drives you. Rich men who are consumed with riches are never rich enough. They try to make their wealth greater. Finally, the pleasures of this world. The pleasures of this world makes a person jump from fad to fad. Whatever the next big thing is they are on it. The new car they have will be traded off for the next great one while driving themselves deeper into debt. The new dress that they just bought will only last for the day and tomorrow is another shopping spree. Wealth is wasted away on the pleasure that is heaped upon the individual. Finally, the good ground! What brought about the good ground? The good ground is brought about by the person that sought after the word held onto it, nothing wavering, after great patience witnessing it bringing forth great fruit. 

Mar 4:20  And those are they that were sown upon the good ground; such as hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, thirty fold, and sixty fold, and a hundred fold.
We have good ground but there are differing harvest. Why is this? Guess what? Jesus explains it.
 Mar 4:21  And he said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, and not to be put on the stand? 

Mar 4:22  For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light. 
Mar 4:23  If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear. 
What is the lamp? Or what is the light that Jesus is speaking of? John answered that.
 John 3:21  But he who practices truth comes to the Light so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God.
 So, the lamp is the truth. The truth was never meant to be hid. However, there is a qualifier for the truth. What is it? He who has ears to hear, let him hear. Again, we must continue seeking. So our harvest amount is dependent upon our seeking. In fact, Jesus continued by stating the following,
Mar 4:24  And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete it shall be measured unto you; and more shall be given unto you. 
Mar 4:25  For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. 
In another version it says this,
Mar 4:24  He went on to say, "Pay attention to what you're listening to! Knowledge will be measured out to you by the measure of attention you give. This is the way knowledge increases. 
Mar 4:25  Those who understand these mysteries will be given more knowledge. However, some people don't understand these mysteries. Even what they understand will be taken away from them."
So, if the cares of life, tribulations, riches, lust, whatever it may be distracts you, you will lose whatever knowledge you have gained about the kingdom. And your increase of the knowledge of the kingdom will be in result to your search of them. Finally, Jesus teaches another parable noted here in Mark that unlocks the understanding of the progressive growth of the kingdom. 

Mar 4:26  And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth; 

Mar 4:27  and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how. 
Mar 4:28  The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. 
Mar 4:29  But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest is come.
Jesus explains to the seeker the growth process of the Kingdom of heaven. It was sown into the Earth and came forth as a blade. Now, to a city boy like myself I could drive by a field and my mom and dad would say looks like that farmer planted himself some cotton. Now, I could look at that field just as serious as you could look at it and I would have no idea what was planted until the whole fruit in the ear came. However, to a farmer, he could tell by the blade that came out of the ground what was planted. Could someone be as blind to the blade of the kingdom as I was to the blade of that cotton plant? Of course! However, to help us identify things, Jesus gave us identifiers. The growth process was the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. The time period that Jesus first came into the Earth was a growth time period. The nation of Israel was looking for the Messiah. The knew that the Messiah would come and establish His government and they would rule with Him. I can imagine the priest all telling the people the Messiah is coming soon and we will come out of the rule of these brutal heathen Romans. The problem? They didn't understand the Kingdom. When God spoke through His servant Isaiah, God stated that the Messiah would come with His government on His shoulders. This verse is still misinterpreted today. Unable to understand the growth process of the Kingdom has left folks unaware of important scriptures that are prophetically aligned for this generation. When Jesus arrived He made a time sensitive statement that many overlook today. A Pharisee by the name of Nicodemus, who was one of the important rulers came to Jesus under the cover of darkness. Like most folks that have a hidden agenda Nicodemus started the conversation with a bunch of compliments leading to what his objective line of questioning was going to be, but Jesus stopped Nicodemus with a great statement.  
John 3:3  Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  
I have heard many teachings over this verse and I am sure you have also. However, Jesus made this statement in response to the compliments of Nicodemus. What did Nicodemus say?   Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that thou doest, except God be with him. What is it that we are missing? Jesus has just explained to Nicodemus, You are praising the signs and miracles, but what Nicodemus was failing to truly see was the operation of the Kingdom of God.
Wow! Are so blind today? This was life and life more abundantly that was only perceived by those that were born again. Well Nicodemus asked the same question that many people ask today. How can you be born twice? 
John 3:5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God! 
We have been taught that this scripture in reference to the being born of water means being born of the word. Why? Because Paul made mention of the washing of the water of the word in Ephesians. So scholars have taken everywhere there is mention of water to be symbolic to the word. What if Jesus wasn't being symbolic. What if Jesus was speaking plain knowledge to a teacher?
When you are born into this world, the sack of water that you once lived in breaks and you are born from water. Where is the Kingdom of Heaven? In the Earth! It has been from the foundation of time. One of the qualifiers to walk in the Kingdom is you have to be born of water. That excludes the devil. Hmmm...Is any of this starting to make since? The second requirement is being born of the Spirit. During the blade growth process men who walked in the Kingdom did so because the Spirit of God rested upon them. It was passed down through lineage and with a prayer passing on the blessing. Issac received the Kingdom from his father Abraham. Isaac had two sons Esau the oldest and Jacob the younger. Jacob learned and watched through his grandfather Abraham and his father Isaac the life given through the Kingdom. Jacob was approximately 15 years old when Abraham passed away. He witnessed the passing of the Kingdom from Abraham to Isaac and watched as his father prospered abundantly through the years. Jacob coveted the Kingdom. Jacob used underhanded tricks to gain the kingdom. Jesus spoke about this when talking about John the Baptist.
Mat 11:12  And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and men of violence take it by force.
Everything up until that time was brought about by those that understood the kingdom and took it by any means necessary. From Adam to Jacob was the blade time period. The Kingdom grew from the blade time period to the ear or stalk period when Jacob was given a new blessing.

Gen 32:28  And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed. The blade had become the ear. Instead of the kingdom being passed down through a man it now came to a nation, Israel. The full fruit in the ear was soon to happen. Jesus explained it to Nicodemus and yet Nicodemus walked away not understanding. Can we hear the truth and not be able to walk in it? The Kingdom of Heaven was given to the world through a completed act of Jesus. Until this time, only those that had the Spirit resting upon them would be able to enter into the kingdom. Jesus was taking this thing global. Why? Because, God so loves the world. Soon through the newborn experience through the finished works of Jesus would give birth to a new life. Jesus best explained it in the sermon on the mount. To find the kingdom, one would have to acknowledge their own poor beggarly condition, this would lead you to the gates. However, once you got there you would find the gates to the greatest kingdom on this planet locked. Great mourning would occur. The good news? You will be comforted. How? Jesus has provided you with the keys to the Kingdom. You receive the key by receiving Him.Jesus would open the gates for the kingdom of heaven to be in you. By receiving Jesus as your Lord and Savior the seed of the Kingdom has been planted inside of you. It will grow. First the blade, the ear and then the full grain in the ear. Hold on to it. Have patience, even when persecution comes, and it will. Stand fast even when cares, riches and pleasures come to lure you away. As the kingdom grows within you, you will learn to walk in it affecting those around you and yes, even the heavens above you. If you haven't chose Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I would like to invite you to do so today. The Lord is coming soon. The sickle is about to be thrust forth and He is going to take a mighty harvest. Will you ask Jesus in your heart today? Simply say Lord Jesus, I repent of following after my own way. It was a way, but it wasn't Your Way. I know that You are the Way, the Truth and the Life. I know that the only way to the Father is through You. Forgive me. Set my feet on Your path of righteousness. I receive Your salvation and Your Kingdom today. I pledge my life and my service to fulfilling the will of God through the Kingdom of Heaven in this Earth. Thank You for Your saving grace. Amen!

John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Kings without a Kingdom

Rev 17:12  And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, who have received no kingdom yet, but will receive authority as kings one hour with the beast.
We know by study, that the vision the Apostle John records in Revelation is connected to the vision the Prophet Daniel recorded approximately 690 years earlier.  Due to the connection of these two visions there has also been a seal on these visions keeping men blinded to their meaning. 
Dan 12:4  But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, even to the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 
As I have shared before, we are the revelation generation. No other generation in time can be identified as such. With that understanding, we can also show how these prophetic scriptures have been unsealed and their meanings unlocked. I have been teaching about the Kingdom of Heaven, that it is the 7 regional government of Christ. I have also explained that the term government and kingdom are one and the same and cannot be separated. The kingdom or government of Christ is a holy government. That is why it is a 7 regional government. For the number 7 is a Holy number. The ultimate showdown between good and evil is soon to occur. Before the showdown occurs there is appointed a time of tribulation. In fact, Jesus labeled this time period as the "Great Tribulation". This time period would come upon the Earth through the devil and his government of tribulation. The number for tribulation or trials is the number 10. Egypt experienced 10 plagues which are also referred to as trials or tribulations. The tribulation government of Satan is a 10 regional government. Daniel was the first to record the 10 horned beast in his vision. John also saw the same 10 horned beast but records one additional description that further identifies the devils government system. That the 10 kings had no kingdom but will receive authority as kings one hour with the beast. To many this verse was confusing, and accepted as some type of allegory. Isn't it amazing that when men cannot explain scripture, that through their collective schooling and educations, they try to logically explain it away? Why can we understand this verse today? Is it because we have become so intelligent? Hardly. With all of the progresses mankind has made, the spiritual ignorance of mankind has accelerated exponentially. However, I have good news. The spiritual ignorance or blindness is occurring due to demonic influence or oppression. What is so good about that? History through the bible shows that when evil opens the door to affect mankind another door is also opened for God to defend the attack. Isa 59:19  So they shall fear the name of Jehovah from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of Jehovah shall make him flee.

Here in Isaiah we see just that. The enemy comes in like a flood and the door for God to raise a standard against him is opened. This oppression of spiritual blindness has unlocked the seal of revelation, which was a door that had been sealed for 2800 years, waiting for just this time. The first question that we should address is, "Who are the 10 kings without a kingdom?" I believe the scripture shows us clearly who the 10 kings are. To better understand who the 10 kings are, we need to examine what the scriptures reveals about the government of Christ. Why? Remember, when a door is opened in the supernatural, by light or darkness, to the natural an equal door of opportunity is opened for the other side. By studying what Christ has done, we can better understand the plans of the enemy.Who are the 7 kings of His 7 regional government? Those seven Kings are listed in three different places in scripture. The first most obvious place is Revelation.
Rev 1:20  the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand and the seven golden lamp stands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lamp stands which you saw are the seven churches. 
So, the 7 stars are the seven Angels and if there are 7 Angels we can safely understand that the 10 horns are 10 demons. I have shared before, the government of Christ, was assigned to Israel in the Old Covenant. If the government of Christ was passed down through the lineage of Isaac could that have opened the door for the kingdom of satan to be passed down through Ishmael? Yes! Abram and Sarai put together the plan of achieving the desires of their heart for an heir. This plan was based from fear rather than from faith. Abram was not getting younger and Sarai believed more in what she saw than what God told Abram. She explained to Abram that her slave may be the instrument in which God would use in bringing about the kingdom. This act was an act of unbelief which is disobedience to the word of God. This act of disobedience watered the seed of disobedience originally planted in the Earth through the sin of Adam. Of course we know the rest of the story. Isaac is eventually brought into the Earth and Ishmael mocks and makes fun of Isaac. Ishmael and Hagar are sent off and Ismael prospers as God told Abraham he would. Nations were born from his lineage that has it's roots in the same Arab countries that surround Israel today.
In Genesis, Jacob has stolen the blessing from Esau and his mother and father have urged him to flee. Esau has pledged to kill Jacob. Jacob escapes and stops at a place that he later names El-Bethel, the House of God, the gate to the Kingdom of Heaven!
Gen 28:17  And he was afraid, and said, How fearful is this place! This is nothing but the house of God, and this is the gate of Heaven! 
I believe when Jesus talked about John the Baptist and the Kingdom of Heaven, He was citing this event illustrating how the kingdom was taken by violence up until that point. Jesus was going to make a way for all men to enter into the kingdom. How exciting is that? Is there more? Of course! But, before we go any further let us examine what Esau did in response to the blessing being given to Jacob.
Gen 28:9  then Esau went to Ishmael, and took Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to the wives which he had for his wife.
Esau goes to Ishmael and marries his niece who was named sickness. An act of total rebellion. This was the fruit of Ishmael's lineage. Here is the identifying verse that brings our understanding to it's full fruition. 
Gen 28:8  and when Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please Isaac his father; 
Why did the daughters of Canaan not please his father? Because, Isaac knew there were two kingdoms that had come into the Earth through his father Abraham. One that was good, the kingdom of heaven and one that was evil. Throughout history these two kingdoms would would struggle against one another.
Dan 10:13  But the ruler of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days. But lo, Michael, one of the chief rulers, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
What a wonderful amount of heavenly revelation is contained in this verse alone. Not only, do we get to see the battle between good and evil, but we see the spiritual rulers and kingdoms. When you read the beginning of this revelation and see the description of the man that Daniel meets here you will see comparisons of the description in Revelation when the Apostle John meets Jesus. The Heavenly description of Jesus and the earthly appearance of Jesus are so drastic even John who walked with the Lord did not recognize Him in all of his regal attire. In verse 12 He states a very important truth. He states that when Daniel chastened his heart from the very first day before God. So right away He tells Daniel I come from the throne of God and I came in response to your prayer. So, from His description and from His statements we recognize that this was no ordinary man. In fact, we know that Daniel is speaking with a heavenly being.
In verse 13, this being reveals that the ruler of the kingdom of Persia withstood him for 21 days. Now, Daniel begins chapter 10 identifying Cyrus as the King of Persia in verse 1. We know that Cyrus was a man and no match to a heavenly being. We also know that Cyrus was a believer of God and also allowed the temple to be rebuilt in Jerusalem. So who was this ruler? This was a demonic being called the prince of the Kingdom of Persia in other translations. So, we can see the regional prince or king of the region of Ancient Persia known today as Modern day Iran. This being is still over Persia and oppressing men today. Just understanding this one thing alone you also understand what John was talking about. This demonic being is a king without a kingdom. His power will become evident in the hour that the antichrist comes into the Earth. A mere man could not oppose a heavenly being. Also,when we see Michael a "Chief Ruler" we realize this is not an ordinary man. Michael is a regional Angel. He is assigned to the Government of Christ and has come to assist in the battle. What did the messenger of God who had come to Daniel do while the battle raged? He went to the Kings of Persia and remained there until the battle was finished. Who were the Kings of Persia? These were the other 6 regional Angels of the Government of Christ. There are some lessons to be learned here. First, how many kings were sitting by the wayside watching the battle? Six. We know this because the Lord revealed to us that there were 7 regions to His government. The next thing of interest is why were all the Angels at one place? 
Gen 28:12  And he dreamed. And behold, a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it. 
Here, in Genesis the Government of Christ had been assigned to Israel. Jacob recorded that he saw Angels, plural, ascending and descending on this ladder. These were the 7 regional Angels of Christ's government! This 7 regional government of Christ was assigned to Israel because of the covenant of blessing from God. There was only one Angel, Michael, assisting in the battle, because Daniel had only knowledge of one. How did he know of the one?
Exo 14:19  And the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them:
Exo 23:20  Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee by the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 
Exo 23:23  For mine angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite: and I will cut them off.
Num 20:16  and when we cried unto Jehovah, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border.

All of Israel knew of the one Angel. Daniel, who was well educated, knew of the one Angel. Daniel empowered this Angel with his prayer. It makes you wonder how many of the 7 regional Angels are sitting still today because of our lack of knowledge. Finally, we know that government of Christ which was once assigned to just Israel has gone global, because of the New Covenant. Those 7 Angels are over each region of the world as the good news of the Kingdom has been preached and accepted. We have learned many things about these two governments. We have learned they in the world but are not of the world. They affect the natural outcome through supernatural means. We also know that they have an ability to influence the outcome of the natural, but in doing so open an equal opportunity of influence by the other kingdom. We also know that these kings have no personal kingdoms in the Earth but are assigned authority over the regional realm of worldly influence. Through our investigation we have a greater understanding of Revelation 17. These 10 kings with no kingdoms have a region of influence. Now, how is that influence worked? They influence men and place them in positions of power and influence. We have witnessed this through time. Each of the Beast kingdoms were connected to the other through their religion. As the kingdom of evil has grown it increases the influence of the spiritual side or religious side. Why? That is the actual doorway in which the influence begins. Remember, that Lucifer was made to worship God. His desire to be worshiped is the motivating force in his bid for a kingdom. In Revelation he will enter the temple and command all to worship him. So the driving force of religion has to be connected with his natural kingdoms that is influenced in the Earth. 
Rev 17:13  These have one mind, and they give their power and authority unto the beast.
In other words the have a central focus and it is related back to one topic. It is like a tree. The branches all come back to the trunk of the tree. What do we know about the trunk of the tree?
Rev 13:16  And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead; 
First we know that the trunk of the tree, the beast, will require a mark. This mark of allegiance is given on their right hand or their forehead. A better translation shows that it is on their right side or arm and forehead.  The second thing we know about this kingdom of the beast is that it will have a religion. We know that the kingdom of the beast will persecute Christians and Israel because of it's religion.
We know that beheading will be the practice of this kingdom. What else do we know? That this kingdom will have ancient ties to the previous beast kingdoms before it. All of these things are important for identification of the beast kingdom. Another thing we can utilize in identifying the beast kingdom is what has been done in the righteous government of Christ. Before Jesus walked in the Earth, there were prophecies and examples of Him in the Earth. We know by Hebrews about foreshadowing of Christ in scripture. I earlier told you how if one side opens a door in the Earth for intervention then it automatically opens a door for the other side. The foreshadowing of Christ opened the door for foreshadowing for the beast kingdom. In each kingdom was the image of the beast in some form or fashion. Daniel witnessed these Kingdoms and wrote them down. These kingdoms have materialized in the Earth throughout history. Just like the Kingdom of heaven was first walked in by individual men so it was the case with the beast kingdom. We can see that through individuals such as Nimrod and Goliath. Nimrod was known as a mighty man and moved mankind to a one world movement in building a tower up to the heavens. We can see the same movement or spirit of Nimrod in the land today. Goliath was a giant in the land and had certain abnormalities that come from the demonic blessing of the kingdom. He also, had a hatred for Israel and all those in covenant with God. As the kingdom of heaven was passed down through birthright so was the beast kingdom. Eventually, the beast kingdom was issued to nations.  I find it interesting that we have so easily accepted and believed the witness of the kingdom of the devil and yet, find it so difficult to believe the Kingdom of Heaven. Why is this? Could it be the oppressive and deceptive spirit of the antichrist? Yes, I believe so. I believe it also is a witness to the sin nature of man. Until we receive the gift of faith through Christ our understanding of the kingdom of Heaven will be thwarted by the sinful nature of the flesh.  Jesus said in the gospel of Mark that the Kingdom of God was like a seed cast into the ground. That it would begin to grow in the ground and the first thing we would see would be a blade. I am sure that many of you have seen a field that was planted and after time the fragile blade of the crop breaks through the ground. That blade is like a hand waving to us acknowledging that it is here. The blade of the Kingdom of heaven first broke the ground and waved to all the Earth as a single man was chosen to walk in it. Men like Enoch, Noah and Abraham. Prospering in the Earth as a witness of the goodness of God. It was passed down through birthright until it's assignment to Israel. The beast kingdom has done everything to destroy the Kingdom of Heaven. The Good News is the Kingdom of Heaven became victorious through the finished works of Jesus at the cross of Calvary 2,000 years ago. Now, I have shared many things about the beast kingdom and it has been for a purpose.
The 7 churches in Asia were placed where they were for a reason. God does not do things idly with chance or circumstance. These 7 churches are the 7 regional governments of Christ. They are a physical representation of the Spiritual Heavenly Kingdom. Each of the 7 churches were specifically picked out by Christ himself for two purposes. One to identify the coming beast kingdom. These churches and specifically Pergamos which was described as being the seat of satan, came to the gates of the beast kingdom. Remember, Jesus said that the gates of Hell would not prevail against His government? These churches were located at the gates of the next beast kingdom. Turkey. The Ottoman empire would begin it's rule from here and the number of Christians and Jews that were persecuted there were a number that even today cannot be exactly confirmed. Belief is that it outnumbered what Hitler did in Germany. This beast kingdom would rule for over 600 years until 1923. It established it's religion in the Earth and now the 10 toes of the beast kingdom is upon the Earth. How can I say that? When the Ottoman empire ruled there were two factions of it's religious base, the Shi'ite and the Sunni Muslims. As time and demonic influence grew these 2 basic sects would grow into 9. 
These are the following 9 basic sects; Sunni, Shi'ite, Kharajis, Druze, Alawi, Ismali, Ahmadiyyah, Sufi, Wahhabi. These 9 sects worked throughout the globe. It stayed at 9 until 2011. In 2011, a new sect of Islam was brought into existence right here in the United States. It was brought into existence by a man once called America's Pastor.
Endorsed by the President Barak Obama Chrislam was birthed into existence bringing the 10 toes into our lives. Folks, the beast kingdom is here and the demonic oppression is being felt world wide. What are we to do? Jesus told us as He addressed each of the 7 regions He explained the plan of attack of the enemy and what the child of God was to do in each region. Understand, you have a kingdom. You have authority! Jesus gave it to you along with the Keys to the kingdom! It is time to return to that which we were in the beginning. When we get to heaven we won't ask each other what church do you go to. Why? Because there is only One Kingdom! Only One King! Jesus!
