Valentines Day's History

How we do give one another those lovely Choclates to the one we love in our lives, or a very close friend in all hopes one day being together as one. Just a reminder when in our local schools we passed out tons of candy and cards even to our friends and neighbors in whom we had known in which we grew up in our lives. We passed them all around as we thought of one another, we even gave that very special one to our favorite teachers.These were cards made by big card companies, especially made for children to give to one another on Valentine's Day. I quoted the term "Valentine" here for a reason. Once you read the information below, you will understand how sad children are being mislead into such pagan practices like Valentine's Day, yoga, Halloween and other pagan "demonic activity" in public schools and beyond. If you are an adult, pleae take responsibility and read this. Do your research if you feel like doing a double take after reading this and going, "Unbelievable! How could this be? Why didn't anybody tell me?" Well now you know. Thank you for your time.

The Pagan Roots of Valentine's Day :Here is some very interesting insights that's provided for each to read for one self in what this began as in it's own roots of origins began for all of us to know about today lest we for sure not ever to forget what Valentines Day and how it all started .Once again it is of "Roman" origin with pagan rites of sex and fertility attached to it: Christians should be known by their discernment and should be asking questions regarding "Saint Valentine's Day." What is the origin of this unusual day? Why is there a preoccupation with the color red? Where did the heart shape come from, and what does it mean? These and other questions will now be answered, as we examine the roots and pagan origin of this popular day.

In the days of the Roman Empire, the month of February was the last and shortest month of the year. February originally had 30 days, but when Julius Caesar named the month of July after himself, he decided to make that month longer and shortened February to 29 days while making July a month of 31 days. Later when Octavius Caesar, also known as Augustus, came to power, he named the month of August after himself, and not to be outdone he also subtracted a day from February and gave the month of August 31 days. To this very day it remains that way. The ancient Romans believed that every month had a spirit that gained in strength and reached its peak or apex of power in the middle or ides of the month. This was usually the 15th day, and it was a day when witches and augurs, or soothsayers worked their magic. An augur was a person filled with a spirit of divination, and from the word augur we get the word "inaugurate", which means to "take omens". Since February had been robbed by Caesars and had only 28 days, the ides of February became the 14th day of that month. Since the Ides of a month was celebrated on the preceding eve, the month of February was unique, because it was the 13th day that became the eve of the Ides that month, and it became a very important pagan holiday in the Empire of Rome. The sacred day of February 14th was called "Lupercalia" or "day of the wolf." This was a day that was sacred to the sexual frenzy of the goddess Juno. This day also honored the Roman gods, Lupercus and Faunus, as well as the legendary twin brothers, who supposedly founded Rome, Remus and Romulus. These two are said to have been suckled by wolves in a cave on Palatine Hill in Rome. The cave was called Lupercal and was the center of the celebrating on the eve of Lupercalia or February 14th. On this day, Lupercalia, which was later named Valentine's Day, the Luperci or priests of Lupercus dressed in goatskins for a bloody ceremony. The priests of Lupercus, the wolf god, would sacrifice goats and a dog and then smear themselves with blood. These priests, made red with sacrificial blood, would run around Palatine Hill in a wild frenzy while carving a goatskin thong called a "februa." Women would sit all around the hill, as the bloody priests would strike them with the goatskin thongs to make them fertile. The young women would then gather in the city and their names were put in boxes. These "love notes" were called "billets." The men of Rome would draw a billet, and the woman whose name was on it became his sexual lust partner with whom he would fornicate until the next Lupercalia or February 14th.
Thus, February 14th became a day of unbridled sexual lust. The color "red" was sacred to that day because of the blood and the "heart shape" that is popular to this day. The heart-shape was not a representation of the human heart, which looks nothing like it. This shape represents the human female matrix or opening to the chamber of sacred copulation.

When the Gnostic Catholic Church began to get a foothold in Rome around the 3rd century A.D., they became known as Valentinians. The Catholic Valentinians retained the sexual license of the festival in what they called "angels in a nuptial chamber", which was also called the "sacrament of copulation." This was said to be a re-enactment of the marriage of "Sophia and the Redeemer." As the participants of the February 14th ritual began their sexual sacrament, presided over and watched by the priests known as Valentinians, the following literary was spoken: "Let the seed of light descend into thy bridal chamber, receive the bridegroom… open thine arms to embrace him. Behold, grace has descended upon thee."

As time went on, the Orthodox Church suppressed the Gnostic Catholics and manufactured "St. Valentine", whose day continues to be celebrated in these modern times. It should be without saying that Christians should avoid Valentine's Day like a plague. In God's eyes, it is still "Lupercalia", the "Day of the Wolf." Men become wolves, as they carry on the Satanic rituals of fornication, which means sexual intercourse without marriage. We have heard of the "wolf whistle", and we all know that wolves do not whistle. It is lustful men and women, who carry on Satan's blasphemy to this very day.

In conclusion, we must ask ourselves, "Should a true Christian be associated in any way with this celebration of evil roots? Should we be doing what the heathen have done for so many years and try to justify it as love?" Romans 12:2 answers this very well, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…" it's the sum of our thinking in which it only refers to their own systems of beliefs, values, or the spirit's age - at any time currently in the world. this is a sort of comtemporay thinking and values from a moral atmosphere that had been formed back in this worlds centuries of which it had began in the first place in (268 - 70). catcmo2006

Thank You for stopping in this site,group Sites, web sites and other prayer sites as well in holding one another up for prayer's being totally united in everyone around this world, it's about Jesus Christ first and prayers,intecessory prayer's and at other times about this vast world we live in today which this old world as we all know it is slowly departing to be reaching our home in glory.

THE REAL SATAN MUST STAND UP .

Many people today do not believe that Satan is a being and (angel to be precise) was created as Lucifer, by God for His own glory. Lucifer later rebelled against the government of God in heaven and was cast out of heaven to this earth thousands of years ago. This conflict originated way back in eternity past..

As a matter of fact the bible clearly states that Satan was one of God�s best creations as described in scriptures and that he was beautiful. Above all, he was so highly honoured above all the heavenly angels and held a commanding position for all heavenly beings except Christ (Michael).

It is the aim however of this study to prove beyond any doubt by the use of the bible that;

(a) Satan is a creature and God had created him perfect.
(b) He was once a highly honoured angel who chose to rebel against his Maker.
(c) He was once one of the two covering angels (a cherub)
(d) He lives in a spiritual world biblically called abyss, or bottomless pit.
(e) He calls himself god and demands every human being on earth, angels in heaven and his angelic demons to worship him.
(f) God will at the appointed time permit him to appear during the very last days of this earth's history for his final showdown before he is finally destroyed.

We might not be in a position to thoroughly expound the secrets of the enemy of souls. However, having said that, it is important to know the enemy for the sake of safety for our souls. One thing the Devil is certain, is that he will fight God till the end of this spiritual battle. He knows he has no time to worst and we should not have time to worst either. He will never give up regardless there is no more time, and we should not give up either.

Faith in Christ

God has not left us to tread in darkness without the evidence of the presense of THE enemy. The enemy is determined to destroy all humanity from the face of the earth if only God would permit him. The determination demonstrated by Satan, should be defeated by our courage, our sacrifices, our heroic determination and faith in God through Jesus Christ.

Christ our savior died for us at the Cross and our victory over the Devil was permanently secured. The bible assures us that, if we only believe in God's sacrifice for His only Begotten Son. If we seriously take this by faith, there is no reason why anyone should perish. Christ is not coming for the Second Time as a little babe in a manger, but as a Mighty conqueror,with the Iron Scepter as Ruler of the universe and as The King of kings. To destroy His enermy including all who joined Satan in fighting God's people and putting them under His feet.

Praise God the Father of our Lord Jesus for giving us Christ, who went all the way to the Cross of Calvary to pay the debt of sin for us. No human mind, nor thoughts can farthom our savior's selfless expression of this highest order in the whole universe. Christ's sacrifice makes the greatest difference in our lives by giving us the freedom to choose salvation and be able to identify our enemy as well as appreciating this great sacrifice while mercy still lingers.

How can we then Identify Satan?

In the book of Genesis 3:1-7 we read the following, �1Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he (Serpent Satan, Devil) said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3But of the fruit of the tree, which is in the midst of the garden, God, hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.�

In Genesis 3, we are told of the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. As we carefully analyse this chapter we shall see and understand how God identifies the enemy for us his children.

The Devil disguised himself by deceiving our innocent and first parents by coming to the garden himself. He targeted Eve, and structured his questionnaire to attract a conversation. God is showing us how sin came into the world and by whom. You see,the Devil visited Eve in the garden and he took the form of a serpent and introduced the topic for their discussion.

Eve's encounter with a Serpent (Satan) in itself describes the seriousness and the danger of dealing with this strange creature called Satan. The bible does not tell us that Adam and Eve used to talk with animals during their peaceful stay in the garden before the fall, because Animals DONT talk.

God's word is very clear when it says:

"God is not a man that He should lie or the son of men that He should change His mind. Job 36: 26
THis is the sure word of God and in Him all our trust should rest.

The fall of Satan

The story of how Lucifer lost his position in heaven and became Satan is recorded in the book of Isaiah as follows,

Isaiah 14:12-17 �12How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?�

God in His love in this chapter exposes the enemy�s aim (Satan) and his ultimate goal to sit on the throne of God to be worshipped. Before Christ comes the second time, the devil will play god in the guise of false Christ.

Chapter 8: 23 " And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up."

God will not allow this to happen until all the conditions are met.

The book of Ezekiel 28 reads, "1The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 2Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God: 3Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee: 4With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: 5By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches: 6Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; 7Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. 8They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas. 9Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee. 10Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. 11Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 12Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 13Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more."

After the fall of our first parents, the Devil now claims this world to be his territory, according to Job.

Job 1: 6-12 �6Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. 7And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. 8And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? 9Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? 10Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. 11But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. 12And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.�

The Devil is known as the Little horn.

Daniel 8:9-12 �9And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. 10And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. 11Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down. 12And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

The Devil is known as the king of fierce countenance.

Daniel 8:23-27
23And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. 24And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. 25And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. 26And the vision of the evening and the morning; which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days. 27And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

The Devil is known as the prince of the kingdom of Persia.

Daniel 10: 10-14 �10And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. 11And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling. 12Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. 13But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. 14Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.�

The Devil shall speak against the God of gods.

Daniel 11: 36-45 �36And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. 37Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. 38But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. 39Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. 40And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. 41He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. 42He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. 44But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. 45And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.�

He tempted Jesus Christ.

Matthew 4:1-11 �1Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.�

The Devil possessed the man of the Gadarenes.

Luke 8: 26-37 �26They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee. 27When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. 28When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torture me!" 29For Jesus had commanded the evil spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places. 30Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" "Legion," he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31And they begged him repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss. 32A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into them, and he gave them permission. 33When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned. 34When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus' feet, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured. 37Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.�

He also possessed the Disciple Peter.

Matthew 16: 21-26 � 21From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. 22Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. 23But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. 24Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?�

He is the Star that fell from the sky and is incharge of the abyss.

Revelation 9: 1-11 � 1The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. 2When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. 3And out of the smoke locusts came down upon the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. 4They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them. 7The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. 8Their hair was like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth. 9They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. 10They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. 11They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.�

Before Christ died on the Cross he knew he would cust the Devil out of heaven, stopping him from visiting heaven.

In John 12:28 we read, "Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, [saying], I have both glorified [it], and will glorify [it] again. 12:29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard [it], said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. 12:30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] unto me. 12:33 This he said, signifying what death he should die."

The Devil used to visit heaven at certain times.

Job 1:6-10 "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. 1:7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. 1:8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that [there is] none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? 1:9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? 1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land."

After the Cross, there was war in heaven.

The Devil, (the prince of this world), was a constant, uninvited "visitor" in heaven until Jesus died on the cross. That marked the end of his visits. The Devil used to visit heaven, to accuse the world of the bad deeds done on earth. Jesus had to die for our sins giving us a second chance to choose heaven through the blood of Christ. God decided not to stop the Devil who belived had cases to present in heaven. And that he alone (the Devil)had followers on earth. When Christ rose from the dead and went to heaven, there was no reason for the Devil to go to heaven and accuse us, because christ became our way to the Father. That is why there was war in heaven according to Revelation 12.

Revelation 12:7-17 �7And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9The great dragon was hurled down�that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. 10Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. 11They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. 12Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short." 13When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the desert, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent's reach. 15Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. 16But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring�those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.�

He is the Beast out of the Earth when he establishes Church and State union.

Revelation 13:12-17"11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

The Devil is know as the Eighth king.

Revelation 17:8-11 �8The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 9And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 11And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.�

Soon he will establish a world wide system of worship in his favor, between the people and the glorious God.

That is why Daniel 11:45 reads "And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him."

(BUT JESUS or MICHAEL will stand up)

Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation [even] to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] everlasting contempt. 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. 12:4 But thou, 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.

The Devil will come to his end at the appointed time.

Rev 20:8 "And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea. 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [are], and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them."

May God bless you and keep you from falling.

AMEN.

so what is Your final Destanation going to be ?

The Beatitudes

The Beatitudes:1And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

2And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. (Matthew 5:1-12)___________________________________________________________________
The Big Picture: Discourse 1: Sermon on the Mount ( 5:1-12) The Opening sentence of Jesus' Sermon on The Mount ( Matthew 5-7) describing quality of life of a citizen of God's Kingdom. Each Beatitude is to be applied and developed in every disciple and carries a very strong Promise of ultimate good for those whom develop the blessed life.

God has given us 8 Characteristerics of a blessed people. On each of them do present a Present blessing and unto each of them is Promised a future blessing. These do represent to us the principle of grace to All christians. 1. "The Poor in spirit" are "Happy". This is brought before our minds to our conditions, when it is very low unto one's spirit. We become "Humbled" and very "lowly" in one's eyes of emptied of one "Self" in order to be truly filled with Jesus Christ. It's Not, in pride or pretense, to make "ourselves" poor by throwing away what God has given us. It is to be "humbled and lowly"in our own eyes, and to be acknowledged that God is greatand "We are Not; that "He" is always Holy and we are sinful; That "He" is All and "we" are Nothing; and then to be humble ourselves before Him and for us always to acknowledge the straight fact in knowing we are under His mighty hand in everyway constantly under "His" mighty hands. It is to come from "ALL" of our confidence in our "Own" righteousness and "Strength", that we may depend only upon the merit of Jesus Christ for our own as individuals for that glorious Sanctification. [I might add here if you may please]: Allelujah, to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords of our "Redeemer" Oh, Thank You Father of glory, "Yahwe-Tsidkenu" ,our righteous one in whom has established the Kingdom which rules in His justice over all the earth. Praise ye the Lord, Praise the Lord Omy soul . While I live I praise the LORD: I Will sing praises unto my God while I have my being. ( Psalm.146:1,2). I praise my Father that never ever fails us in whom puts ones trust in Him. In knowing all of this for it seems to me that all of this world has to offer me is lowly and condemn in all of my own pursuits in every aspect of my own life today. How I worship You and I bless your name Jesus. For there is None other in whom I would follow but only YOU. Thank You Jesus whom is our Father in which we adore in giving Him all of our praises and honor that loves us the same. How our admorations reached Your heavenly Throne in sending us Your preacious Holy Spirit in reviving us everyday until You come for us all. Allelujah, Allelujah , Allelujah to our King. Oh I just can't praise, and thank Him enough today in seeing His very magnificant glory in what He has given us unto those very depths of our souls. Thank You Jesus and unto your people for allowing Me this day inbetween the writing of this word in glorifying You Jesus. Oh how it blessed my soul and having that grand divine interuptions that only You can do precious, precious Jesus. Oh, bless the Lord today. It's very hard to get back unto this word tody in having Him surrounding this message unto all of those whom look upon this word. Thank You, Thank You blessed Lord!!!! He knows us all in whom we are in Him in our hearts and he such a refreshing that beyond anyone of could ever say unto one another during this kind of a moment. He's so lovely and how I adore Him with every fiber that's within me today. Your are our Mighty, mighty mighty God whom power is so strong that only Your children would know it, with every single breath that we can take comes from you living inside of us today and everyday that shields us and protects us in every single step we take unto You Father. Thank You for your blessings, thank you for the shed blood of which you died for us in knowing we our selves have failed when it comes to know and feel all that you have awakened up in us to know and feel you in showing us the way unto you within being in you by knowing that our own self had died in you along with our own crosses that shed with you for you have been with us even when we not know you are there, but as you guide us to that everlasting home. We are always safe from the pestilence and snare of those whom attack us just like they had done to you Father we then are No different that what you hve shared with us that having you settle so far within our reaches that they have been crushed into pieces before us in all that we face and live to be able to stand in with you that the Holy Spirit is within our reaches and guides is all today. For it only comes within that enccentricity of what goes on that our unseen eyes cannot fathom in it's own weights and measures tht goes in those heavenly atmophospheres that beyond the cappacities to behold but only knowing deep within our minds for those angles that are so powerful and very employable in hearing us speak the words that have been spoken unto our ears plus having that inner reaches of our hearts to know such truths deep within us as being a servant of the Most high God ourselves without Him we fail and loose in our own spirits of which he has given unto us all. We can only emulate onto others that very strong emcampment that reaches all over the heavens that our God glories in himself when something have been accomplished before him. He's is all powerful and all knowing that surpasses the human hearts by such accomplishment that's an a payable account to His own children which is felt by that everlasting peace that prevails with us that comes down from heaven through His righteousness unto His wearly people that strengthens in one abmorations of whom the praises goes forth in such an exclusive accomplishment by our God and His Son Jesus Christ Himself. Than we truly have our accolades going forth as our spirits rises to have more of Him and less of oneself unto the magnificant glory of Jesus Christ whom is the "Alpha & Omega the beginning and the end, the first and the last of whom we are in Him that He does all that He commands so in the future His Saints can go onto that long awaited city of Jerusalem and sit down to the long waited fest that our Master has prepard for us at those final moments, then leads us to having those casting crowns ad we lay them at His feet. Happy is He that hath the God for his help, whose all hope is in the Lord. Which made heaven, and earth, the seas, and that therein is: which keepeth us forever. Amen!!!

Oh sweet, sweet Jesus thank You so much in helping us in all of your ways through such a delight in us as a people today!Now as try I come to gather my thoughts in Your help to give to others in You would want me to say before You at this very hour. Is not to say from myself but what goes on in me from You today in guiding me and molding me to be more of you and less of me forever more. Oh, Father, My very precious Lord, You've taken such a wretched soul as mine that has given it all unto You from now to forever more in all of our lives not just mine alone.While we've been so badly defeated in everything that's been struck down, flat broken into You lift us up so high that only been from you as we have cried and cried as we pray them unto You. For You have hearkened those Holy Angles in providing those provsions that goes on before us each and every time a prayer has been spoken unto You. Master, Savior, the KING of Kings and Lord of Lords is whom You are unto us in every way. That by sharing with this darkened world in truyly knowing whom you are within that prayer away. For all of those whom oppose You Precious Lord how much less of which is to be expected when it's time for that judge is literally waiting to see whom is with You and those whom are not with You. Oh how very udly of a seen for them in which those horrbile place they will be and never knowing what's taken in such a place. But You have revelaed in the Word that is a sword of Your truths that those simply flat ignored for what it is worth in one that rejects . How terrible is that kind of judgment for all of those whom will repent when its to late. They ought to have come unto You when in that long times of heavenly years has waitied for them to come home unto You in which there own sentence has come forth in which place it will be for them in a twinkle of a moment. That's where they will be fully disgraced with No knowledge of You will ever be present for them as a people that You have created but those rejected You and wasn't pure inside of one self, but You see through them as ones own darkness has come just in instant it will be gone. Oh Dear Lord Jesus we earnstly pray for all of lost souls in having those warfare of prayers going forth in those lives and people we don't know but You father know them very well. How knowing these things makes me as other's weep very bitterly for all that is facing it as I pray unto You for we or I don't want anyone to fail such as what You said in Your word. We don't want them to have that awful loss of identity, and of silence for all they will have is that place of torment and wrath for those we know and pray for and those we don't know at all. We keep looking unto You as we may keep praying unto ones own death just to see them come unto You will be glory enough for us in whom love YOU so very much within every fiber of our being this is what we want it to be for them. We want them to be in that heavenly home, where that death has NO kind of sting, but a celestrail bodies in being in that truiphantial praises simply because it You that we all adore and singing out all of our praises and glory unto You. Triumphantly we are in You in being one accord with all that makes up our being in one day seeing our own home in glory. This is that only Hope we have in keeping us on such a path that's been laid out by You.
___________________________________________________________________ For he's already given us His glory that He shines down on us, as being His servants but yet in a humbles us in times of which we have so much more growth in getting to be much more like Him. The glory goes away of the kingdom of this earth, but only the humble and mild, and yeilding souls can obtain the glory of the heaven. A very sorrowful person for all those sins with an eyes that looks to Him ....Jesus Christ.. We as God's own mourners live a life of repentence, and has a very lament of thise corruptive world in all natures and totally respect of our God of all of those sin nature of the people in this world of which we live among them each and every day. We sympathizing for those afflicted, often times by others hands, in one's own compassion of which those souls has perished as we have throughly weeped over them one by one, just as Jesus Christ had done in Jerusalem. We do our best to truly comfort those people but some of them run to those worldly people to often times go back the way they were, others runs to Jesus Christ in knowning Heaven is where they want to be. Those whom submit themselves to God and unto His Word, His rod, and especially follows His direction and complys with His design, are gentle toward all people, whom can and does prevail in all of thier own emotions that does not stir themselves allow not ever to allow it to ever to control themselves in which they may have a very soft answer or being silent scorn in return or provokes themselves to turn back to once they came out of in one's own life.It can be silent inside of one self and return to those kinds of people whom has a soft answers and to show that dis-pleasures when such an occasion arises in front of those peoples lives in having some that come with indecencies and to keep in one's own soul yet others are very hot themselves, while yet being cool inside our own spirits and soul as being patient with others that display all of those other emotions. Those are the one's whom are meek living upon the earth. They are rarely provoked, but yet quicky pacified; and would rather forgive those of a hundred than having any kind od revenge on one person so much control of one's own spirit is like having an inherired of the earth of which God had given unto them such a gift. As they as a person know and feel within themselves by the Holy Spirit that has taught them: " But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall deligh themselves in abundance of peace." Psalms 37:11 ... By NOT composing themselves at what we see in this world. A very fretful heart is the most discontented spirit is open to many temptations. For, in all respects, the little which is alloted to the righteous, is more comfortable and more profitable than in nay ill-gotton and abused riches of all of those whom are very ungodly people that lives amongst us. This only comes from Jesus Christ as He hands His dying Love for us which does provides plentiful and well, not only for His working servants, but for His waiting servants. We, then, have that of which is far better than wealth and peace with our blessed God, than of what other people have in this world, by they can't give us at all because they aren't Jesus Christ can give by we know it won't go unrewarded. Our times on earth is only reconded by days which will be numbered; but our heavenly happiness shall be for ever. This is what supports us (Believer's) in these very horrible times. We can rest in Our " Rock of Ages" whom is very permanent and Oh, so strong, durable, sharp-pointed, craggy, hard that has engraved us with His Words of Truths deeply inside of us, whom stand and monuted up by His awesome power that absolutely can't be torn down spiritually, as our own danger emproaches us as we had already abserved it we know where our safety lies with in our lives, and always will be No matter what may come our way in life. For what are in our God be sure in knowing what we all have in our lives and our emotions that are God had given us and they are: The man's industry, hammers for breaking, casting down all punishments, God's power in removing it from us, defense, refuge, safety from all of those evil appreaces that comes in front of us in our daily living with the Lord Jesus Christ it's ours for the taking if we are truly His children, He shows us the way in being prepard for us to follow some simply directions of which He has prepard for us in our life. In all reality we as God's people really have No kind of envy of what they have acquired for themselves anyways, most of what they have is by either ill-gained by all forms of praide, grred, money power brokers that only calim ones way to fame. Excuse me... today, I'm thankful for what God has blessed me with today at this hour and moment of time... He provied this whole earth with those same things... but it's how they done it is what I, personally don't want in my life. NO WAY! The worldly people always support one another in all of those broken needs, but in all seeing this .... they ought to give it to Jesus Christ in showing the right way to get what they have or could ever need in a persons own life... which his truly Him by the way I see it today. I'd rather help those whom lives has been completely devestated and completely lost it all and it seems unto them it's never ever coming back and all of thier hopes and dreams is totally gone from ones own mind and hearts. All they have is the the clothes on one's own feet, and what little information they have to try to find some some way to help themselves in trying to turn it around and knowing it Jesus Christ whom can help them out and NO other way. Thy know whom takes advatage of them which has absolutely nothing but tohers has there own plans and designs in helping them out.... we all know those typical people.... they only torment all of the more... but all they want is a help up... not some hidden emotions or offers that only brings them down all the more.... They want it God's truths and respect, and in all morals that they wan from other people whom lend some kind of help to them that's shameful with degredation that demoralizes them even nore than what they already don't have in one's own life. That's very un-excusable to a person. So they had come to some kind of conclusion in one's own mind when such things tke place. If I do this this way... it's because it has to be this way for in order to achieve something that was inportant to me but doing it ..makes me feel less than.... and it's like saying stuff like .."You scratch My back and that return is even greater than You could ever imagine in your own life time... Maybe it does for a while ... but then You see it's unfounded in what that person has done ... You all know how that story goes on in a person life... That's flat out using them! Only to get some sort of self-satisfaction that only pumps them - up all the more in those types of people in this world. They have so much scoping out all of those they pray on in order in being cunning, lying,sabtage,self-indulgence to get what they want themselves. This is the worlds thinking and doing day in and day out it never shuts-up, it only wants more and more of a person. it's the complete opposite of God!!! No! Thank You ! I'd rather have some peace ofmind knowing it came from Jesus Christ and earned a living at what I do in a particulat Job and pay those tithes and live and see God work in my own life. That other stuff leads to only misery and death! I grew -up with simliar thinking and had taken me all the way down to the very front doors of Hell in my own life, I don't want it to shine it very ugly head at me ever again. It causes so much grief, being guilty, not worth a thing of self, it hides our real idenity,love, compassions,trust and it only darkens us even more than what they have realized.. ..let alone any one else living on this earth. Nope I don't want it at all ! Our God has shown me a wonderful life and I'm never ever going back to it ever again. I'm so very thankful in the Lord Jesus Christ for all that which He's brought me out of that I could never ever repay Him in a lifetime. And all he ask of us is to totally surrender everything unto him! Someone helped me enought to literally shatched out that complete darkness of Hell and showed me how to truly live in those right ways to go in this life which has somuch more to offer that this old world soes for me in my life. So, today, I do my very best I know how to do in Jesus Christ in helping others find the same way out of that solid darkness and for them to have such a light that opens them up so much than they can imagine before that one day it comes on and they see those truths for themselves. And how it changes them from what they used to be into an such encounter that they don't return from wht they had been. what a joyful time that is to witness and see it. Those warning g oes out in each step they take , and they being very careful along the way only to find they have greater rewards by the Lord Himself at it very end. Such puirty come forth and such comliness of what they had been. Such delightful people. They have peace inside of one self that shines forth in all things that they do for others that comes their way of which the Lord sends to them in time. They see whom and what that final outcomes and know that path in helping some one far meet worldly peoples eyes. They all come together in knowing what had been broken and not to fix it for someone else but kindly share with them what helped and didn't help that comes with true dignity and moral values that abounds only because Jesus was amongst them and hearing what they had said unto Him in prayers as they waited and had grown in being with Him . We know how it truly feels in being broeken down and hath fallen so badly unto the gates of hell, but only being led up-ward to that heavenly home while being on earth is what we are so greatful unto Him and whom He had provided for us along our journey in reaching that door that's un-locked in stepping onto heaven. Some of those people that are being more persecuted over in all of those countries most generally have lost their own life in believing in Jesus Christ as one Savior.. Thank You Jesus for allowing this nation to prsent Your Gospel unto the World and at home . catcmo2006
