The Last Days
Dear Friends,
One of the great doctrines out there and for some time has been the teachings of “the last days.” We have a movement today, where there has even been an institution set up to maintain and defend this viewpoint.
But just as sound bites are statements taken out of context and photo-ops utilized to exaggerate a point of view, so are there bible teaches who lift scripture out of context to try to substantiate their point of view. “Sound bite” theology is just as egregious as the news commentators that twist, skew, and spin the news.
But where does it come from where folks come up with that these are “the last days.” The answer is in Hebrews 1. Here is what the text says in most all, if not all modern translations.
“God, which in sundry times and in various ways spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son. Hebrews 1:1.
Go read it. There it is; these last days. We tend to think of a day as a 24 hour period.
People point this out, “Here it is,” they say… “These are the last days.”
But how could it mean “the last days” as we understand and apply the term if at the time of the writing of Hebrews, the first century, those days then were considered “the last days.” The last days are certainly are a long last days since it has been almost 2000 years of last days, since the time of the writing when it was first used. When will the last days finally end?
Those that stand hard and fast on “the last days” application to a now time frame struggle when you bring up this point; that the last days must have started in the first century.
Here is something to think about concerning translations. The book of Hebrews was originally written in Hebrew not Greek. So the term “last days” would have been rendered the “last Yom(s).” “Yom” was the Hebrew word for day. If you interpret the world Yom you would find that the term most accurately used in Gen 1, is to be understood as “Age” and not a 24 hour day.
So, check this out from a Hebrew point of view.
“God, which in sundry times and in various ways spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last YOMS spoken to us by His Son. Hebrews 1:1.
So, not to insult your intelligence, but just to be clear, the translations should then be in these “last age(s).” Just thought you’d like to think about this.

Ken,
I am sorry but you are simply not teaching the truth of Gods word. You do not accurately translate many of the Greek and Hebrew words you “Correct”. Then you Also completely ignore whole sections of scripture.
You have become or already were, i am not certain, a tool of the very evil beings you claim to be warning people about. The teaching and understanding you espouse are the same deceptive heresies that they spread in many other cults and false religions. How is it that you can not see this?? This is why it is hard not to conclude that you know very well what you are doing.
Although i want to give you the benefit of the doubt.
We were not created by angels. We were spoken into existence by God. Elohim does not mean what you say it does. It does indeed refer to the trinity. The Books of the Bible are a continuous Revelation from God. From Genesis to Revelation. We are told specifically that Jesus himself was the instrument of creation. We understand then that Elohim *HAS* to be talking about the trinity because of the revelation of Jesus Christ. “All things were created through Him and for Him and without him was nothing created that was created”. Read John chapter 1 and don’t dig into the Greek and try to explain away the meaning with esoteric interpretations of the words. This is something that every cult on earth does. They try to change the meaning of the original language because people are not equipped to know the difference themselves.
Therefore we understand that in genesis 1 : 1-3 We have the Godhead of the Father, Son and Spirit in action together. That is why it is also combined with a singular Verb.
Yom means Day in Genesis. There are reasons within the text of the days themselves that it *has* to be a single day and not an unknown period of time or age. It is very possible that Time acted differently in the beginning as Space, Time, and Matter were woven together However it is also obviously the intent of the scripture itself that these be taken as 24 hour periods and a week as a standard week common to world wide understanding.
You do have a few things correct. such as Demons being the spirits of the Nephelim and Fallen Angels being distinct beings. However you have let them lead you through their long history of deception to draw completely unbiblical conclusions and false understandings.

Angels are “ministering spirits”. They are servants of the Living God. the Triune Being who is the only self existent source. Everything Comes from Him. He Created it all and declared its boundaries and function.
He has created beings, dimensions and places none of us would even have the capacity to dream of. They are however all subjected to Him. The first being he created who conceived of rebellion was Lucifer and through his deception many others followed. Which lead to the creation of the physical universe we inhabit now (Though God Himself knew from eternity all the things that would take place). Man was created to answer a Question. Is God Good. Lucifer had created, by his rebellion, the notion that God is not Good and that His ways are not Perfect.
In mankind and ultimately through Jesus Christ God answers the Question for all of Creation to judge and come to truly understand and know Him.
This current age is soon to come to an end. Yes Angels will battle, yes Fallen angles will deceive and war. Yes all of Gods creation is tied up in this ultimate struggle to come to a full and complete understanding of His Divine Nature.
However, None of this is about them, or even us. It is about the Living God. His will, His Nature, His Power, His Goodness to those who don’t deserve it. Punishing Lucifer without answering the question would solve nothing, it would just lead to the question being asked again. In Man, those who rebelled and believed the Lie of Lucifer and are in open rebellion and hatred against Him to this very day, God answered the Question. He Gave Himself taking the form of the rebellious and shed His Blood to make atonement for the transgression of those who were helpless to save themselves yet Hated Him at the same time.
Angels should have known better, They see God in His Glory continually. Man on the other hand has not seen Gods Glory or His heavenly abode. This is why the culmination of the Age is the great White thrown judgment. Where all Beings will be judged. Angel and man and anything else we are unaware of.
The servants of the Living God are not the Focus. The Living God is the Focus. We who receive him have been given eh right to become heirs of the Living God. That is the Destiny who receive Jesus the Christ as Savior and Lord. That is why we, on that day, will sit in judgment with the Living God over all the rest of His creation.

Lastly,
The deception of Lucifer that is throughout the entire world (not the deception of the fall but the twisting of the understanding of creation later on). Comes from the influence of Lucifer through Angels who follow him directly or were influenced by his rebellion. Like the Watchers and their influence on man leading up to the Flood. There are clearly other groups of Angels that carry on in various ways today. Lucifer and his Cabal are the strongest influence and they govern many of todays systems and philosophies. All engineering and directing to their ultimate Goal. The replacement of God, if even for a brief time in the eyes of His creation. the setting up of a One World Kingdom with Lucifer’s chosen Servant leading it all.
Besides that though there are many other deceptions in the world. Though they are all ultimately connected. These beings distribute partial knowledge and lies in many different ways for their own ends or for their service to Lucifer.
This is why there seems to be threads of truth that go through so many of the worlds practices. like Astrology, The Occult, Zodiac, Chinese Zodiac, Alien life, ghosts, reincarnation and many other examples. A few are outright lies like reincarnation, but others are fractions of some greater truth man is not meant to understand. Like the orders in which God created the universe, the Laws that govern the timing of things and the like. which Lucifer and those with him disseminate in partial twisted doses that lead to idolatry, worship of demons, belief in all kinds of lies, and ultimately the judgment of God.

THE MESSAGE IS FOR SKEPTICS THAT DOUBT THE PROPHETS.
Early morning, I tried to sleep but couldn’t because the spirit of our Lord Jesus was flowing in me. How couldn’t I have known that Christ knew someone like me, talkless of making me his prophetic apostle. The spirit guided me to Read Ezekiel, at the same time, I thought about a man who had a program describing that Ezekiel might have encountered an alien. Ok.
Focus God’s creatures that Ezekiel saw, (4 living creatures in human form) (4 faces, 4 wings, 4 human hands) ( 4 face = lion, bull, man, eagle) (4 wheels moving with them, wheels covered with eyes), God said, “mortal man, eat this scroll that I give you; fill your stomach with it, I ate it and it tasted as sweet as honey. ” As God’s spirit lifted me up & I heard behind me the loud roar of a voice “praise the glory of the LORD in heaven above!”
LETS KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS WAS THE OLD TESTAMENT
LETS HEAD TO ANOTHER VISION BY A MAN NAMED JOHN IN NEW TESTAMENT REVELATIONS
========================================
Revelations 4: Four living creatures covered with eyes in front and behind. Verse 7: Creatures: the first on looked like a lion, 2nd one -bull, 3rd one - man’s face, 4th one - eagle in flight. The creatures : Day & night they never stop singing ” Holy Holy Holy is the LORD GOD Almighty, who was, who is and who is to come”. —sing praises to GOD. Revelations Chapter 10 : The angel & the little scroll, vs 9 : I went to the angel and sked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it & eat it, it will turn sour in your stomach, but in your mouth, it will be as sweet as honey”. Vs 10: I took the little scroll from his hand and ate it and it tasted sweet as honey in my mouth. But after I swalloed it, it turned sour in my stomach, Vs 11: Then I was told , “Once again you must proclaim GOD’s message about many nations, races, languages and kings.
=====================================
Two men of GOD, Two time periods, One True GOD
======================================
Comparing Ezekiel & John of Revelations
Ezekiel : scroll tasted like honey
John: little scroll tasted like honey
Ezekiel saw creatures with 4 faces (Lion, Bull, Man, Eagle)
John saw creatures with 4 face (Lion, Bull, Man, Eagle)
Ezekiel : As God’s spirit lifted me up & I heard behind me the loud roar of a voice “praise the glory of the LORD in heaven above!”
John : creatures : Day & night they never stop singing ” Holy Holy Holy is the LORD GOD Almighty, who was, who is and who is to come”. —sing praises to GOD.

Brothers & Sisters you read & think about this

On Events in the world today
==============================
I ask myself , why are ppl so blind to see? why can’t we get it, comedians on tv making jokes about how most Christians believe that Jesus will come in thier lifetime, so what if Christians think that way about the messiah. Jesus said : Mark 13 vs. 32 : “No one knows, however, when that day or hour will come - neither the angels in heaven noe the son, only the Father knows”. Vs. 33: Be on watch, be alert, for you do not know when the time will come”. This tells us alot about the true nature of our savior Jesus Christ, As Mighty as He is, He didn’t lie, upon all his miracles, He admitted that He doesn’t know the day or the hour, However He stated & talked about the signs of the end & stated that these things are like the first pains of childbirth. So I can tell you that things will head for worse, even if things & troubles dies down, it won’t be long before things escalate again. I talked about GOD’s wrath & why we are having these earthquakes in my summer 2009 journal, since then look at what has happened, humans or science don’t cause earthquakes, it is GOD’s wrath, a supernatural activity. The false prophet (Media) would use Alien theory & UFO to divert attention away from the truth & probably will get people to fight Christ & his angels. False preachers on TV might use the phrase “not yet”. But Christ said in Luke 21 vs 11: ” There will be terrible earthquakes, famines and plaques everywhere; there will be strange & terrifying things coming from the SKY” =====> There goes your UFO ===> some hallucination or science fiction!

Explaining Revelations 12 : about the woman & the dragon
====================
As I was reading this chapter, I asked myself : “who is the woman?”
————
There was a woman, whose dress was the Sun and who had the moon under her feet and a crown of 12 stars on her head.
The woman meant : (Isreal)
Crown of 12 stars on her head : Jacob’s 12 sons = 12 Jewish tribes
Dress was the sun= light of the world = the chosen ones = through you I will bless all nations = through them came the messiah who saved the Gentiles = LORD JESUS.
the red dragon with 7 heads & 10 horn = ofcourse the devil
he (devil) stood in front of the woman, in order to eat her child as soon as it was born. Then she gave birth to a son (Jesus), who will rule over all nations with an iron rod. The child was snatched away and taken to GOD & his throne—-> meaning—–> Jesus resurrected & ascended onto heaven.
========================
End time war : Revelation 12 vs. 7: Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, who fought back with his own angels(demons), Vs 8 : But the dragon was defeated & he & his angels were not allowed to stay in heaven any longer: VS 9: The huge dragon was thrown out - that ancient serpent called the devil or satan, that deceived the whole world. He was thrown down to earth and all his angels with him. How terrible it would be for people on earth at that time for the devil has come down to you & is filled with rage because he knows that he has only a little time left=========> Period of persecution of GOD’s people=====> This will happen.
====================================================================
Revelations 12 vs. 13 : when the dragon realized that he had been thrown down to the earth, he began to pursue the Woman (Isreal) who had given birth to the boy.
===============> This means that there will be great animosity towards Isreal & the devil would instigate this.
====================================================================
Luke 21 vs. 20 : when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then you will know that she will soon be destroyed.
Revelations 12 vs. 14: She (Isreal) was given the 2 wings of a large eagle in order to fly to her place in the desert, where she will be taken care of for 3 & 1/2 years, safe from the dragon’s attack. Back to Revelations 12 vs. 6: The woman fled to the desert, to a place GOD had prepared for her, where she will be taken care of for 1,260 days —-> 3 & 1/2 years approximately
Jesus was reffering to this in Luke 21 vs. 21: Then those in Judaea must run away to the hills; those who are in the city must leave and those who are out in the country must not go into the city.
Because the devil couldn’t get to the woman (Isrealis) in the desert, Revelation 12 vs. 17: the Dragon (devil) was furious with the woman (isrealis) & went off to fight against the rest of her descendants, all those who obey GOD’s commandment & are faithful to the truth revealed by Jesus. ( Period of Persecution of GOD’s people)
———————————————————
Let me conclude by saying something that has been stuck in my mind, It been crazy since I wrote my first journal, the government infiltrating every aspect of my life (work, friends etc.,family), trying to intimidate me while I drive by following me with Cars that have plate numbers like “CMX 77 HA” or “I FLY TOO” or getting people to say sacarstic words. I had ups & downs, I even gave up at one point & decided not to believe in our LORD JESUS & back slided heavily, doing things that I did before, even after my special moment with Christ on Christmas day, But Jesus is Lord as he set me on fire again on Easter,, I cried because I knew I had backslided even though I knew the truth,, But till the day I die,, I will continue to proclaim his message,, whether I am called a wizard or not.

On History Channel , the Nostradamus effect, I watched , I saw. Of course observative christians know that something happening with the way things are headed in our world today. But beware of what you watch on tv, According to the program on TV, Nostradmus didn’t want to reveal the full secret of how he went into the trance state to predict, I think they even stated that he didn’t some kind of rituals to go into that state. There is a rumour that he was connected to the stone masons, I’m not sure, I saw all these on tv history channel. I want to make it clear that GOD said in Revelations that He will put to justice all those who practice magic.
==================================================================
Those who practice witchcraft will be punished ( this addresses the experiences & attacks that I was getting through out last year at night & the next morning, you will see a benz or some fancy car or any car with plate number XC 777 TX. The Lord will punish devil advocates like that

Dear Ken, I watched your program on the last days and was interested in what you had to say. I think some of you ideas are correct but as time goes on I think we keep leaning more and more is revealed. in the last month I has become clear to me the agenda of a certain religion who so called god does what to rule the earth. This is the fastest growing religion and is also a government. If you read their book your eye will be opened to see how how it fit our scripture in a sort reverse way, and you will be shocked to see how how they believe in someone they call Isa or “Jesus” to us. He is comes back after the(our)Antichrist(they call him al mahdi) and he tells the people to believe/worship “Al Mahdi” and the gives him the power stating that he/Isa was not the son of God. They will mark the non believers. They believe that Isa did not die and someone else died in his place. It is clear Jesus warned about a false profit and this confirms to me that it will be a person who resembles and claims to be Jesus and that is why they believe him. Their book says it is ok to lie to bring forth the religion. Look into it. Please. You many revise some of your Ideas.
Comment by claudia2wp on 19 May 2010:
PS sorry about the type O’s. I am not good at this blog thing, I hope you can understand. I was trying inform readers about what the fastest growing religion is taught. I was shocked to find out that their book boldly claims. It warns “their believers” not to trust Jews or Christians and their last days are almost entirely the reverse of our Book of REV. I also noticed that it states all good comes from God and all evil comes from us, that is, any bad things that happen to us are our fault.(noticed the lack of the evil one) It claims that “true believers” of that religion need to judge others according to their laws. Please look into this and preach on it. I know this can be dangerous. I did find one site that wisely, just compares beliefs. They also believe and claim that Jesus was just a profit did not die, and a look a like was killed instead and he is not the son of God. They call him “Isa” and he going to come back as witness against us.
Comment by Sharon on 23 June 2010:
Something to think about. In Revelations, God has one of the angels pour over the sun to make the sun so hot that ‘it will scorch the skin’. This is a punishment. To make the sun increase it’s heat…and here we have the earth running around trying to fix it!?global warming?! Is this arrogance on the human behalf? Trying to fix what is written up as punishment? Then you have the ‘abductees’ being ‘head fed’ to ’save the planet..save the planet’! saying that we can change it all.
It is written and so it will be, that God will destroy the earth with fire. Are they fighting against God’s commands?
