Come out of her as don't share in her sins and plaques

July 28/2020 12:55 am / 2:44 pm 12:44 am July 29/2020 Updated July 29/2020 9:44 am

Revelation 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues.”

(4-20) The voice out of heaven warns the faithful to leave her, and

 God foretold the beginning from the end. People could care less but their spirit is empty with deceit and their bellies full of idolatry. They may think it means little but it is spiritual fornication. There is a way that seems right unto a man but in the end it is the way of death. Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will never pass away. Matthew 24:35  

These commentaries are profound and well written:

"(4) Voice from heaven -Read, Voice out of heaven, saying, come forth out of her, my people that ye partake not in her sins, and that of her plagues ye receive not. The voice is not said to be that of another angel. It is not necessary to say whose voice it is; that it is a voice of divine love giving warning is enough. The coming forth is not to be understood of a bodily exodus from Rome. It is rather the warning which is so needful in every corrupt state of society, to have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness; to practice that separation from the spirit of the world which is essential lest we should be entangled in the meshes of its sinful habits. This duty of separation may sometimes lead to a literal exodus, and even under the pressure of overwhelming necessity to secession from a world-corrupted church; but the jeopardy lies in attachment to the world-spirit (1 John 2:15). The parallel warnings in Jeremiah 51:6; Jeremiah 51:45, and Zechariah 2:6-7, should be read; but the story of Lot in Sodom best illustrates the spirit of the passage (Genesis 19), for it is participation in sin which is to be primarily guarded against."

 Pulpit Commentary "Verse 4. - And I heard another voice from heaven, saying. Probably the voice of another angel in succession to the one mentioned in ver. 1. Another angel takes up the theme, because the message is now directly addressed to Christians. Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. The angel says, "my people," because he is representing God. These words, resembling Isaiah 48:20; Isaiah52:l; Jeremiah 1:8; and especially Jeremiah 51:6 (cf. also ver. 8), 45, recall also the warning of our Lord in Matthew 24:16 (cf. also Genesis 19:22, "I cannot do anything till thou be come thither"). Since the harlot, who is identical with Babylon, is representative of the faithless part of the Church of God, these words form a direct warning to Christians. The departure which is commanded is not necessarily a literal, visible one; but the command implies a dissociation from, and condemnation of, the works of Babylon. Lot's wife literally departed from Sodom, but was overtaken with punishment, because her heart was not dissevered from the wickedness of the city." Revelation 18:4 Commentaries.

 

" Truly, the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 

" (2 Corinthians 4:4 ; Revelation 12:9 )

Foot Notes

You know when people think of God they think of a Church building. It could be very deceiving/condescending. The word church was described as ekklesia meaning called out ones as I believe was translated in the Greek. Some people describe the assembly of the people as the Church. Its not really the building. The Lord said where two or three are gathered in his name there he is (There I am). He also said my Kingdom is not of this World. The Kingdom of God comes not by observation! Luke 17:20 (The word of God tells us that God does not dwell in temples made by human hands. As they say God is outside of space and time. The Bible describes those whom worshiped the Messiah in the first Century as Christian Communities. Sometimes they are referred to as assemblies and some have congregations. The Lord Jesus Christ ((YESHUA)) born with the title Emmanuel (God is with us) is the head of the body and he purchased his own flock with his blood. You were purchased with a great price. No matter what he is the lamb that takes away the sins of the world. 

God gave us prayer to speak to him as a means of communication. People worship God in Church building, houses and in the wilderness as well. Henceforth the burning bush that did not burn (Moses). Exodus 3:2 Greater is he that is within YOU than in the world.  (Luke 17:21)

God is not the author of confusion but of peace

Official Video Link : Official Statement From Watchman On The Wall 88 

 Chad Thomas did a video explaining why he closed his YouTube channel as he was getting a lot of fighting and complains on his channel as it was up one day and not/down the next.  It appears Chad's statement video is time-wise some 16 minutes and 35 seconds long. So, this video was done about a week ago as of July 17th 2020. Chad says there was a lot of fighting and disagreement on his channel. Especially after he did a video about Counterfeit Christianity. (I never personally seen it). He said some person he thinks is called sister Jewels teared him apart in a new video which he didn't agree with at all. He said she ended up locking her comments because many people went over to defend him. Chad also said many other people did videos attacking him but he doesn't go looking for them but people send them to him. He mentioned his Channel is about the current times and making people aware of these times in this so-called Church of dispensation age of Grace that will end when a new dispensation comes in and so he's pointing people to Salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ. He mentions he does not like the divisions as Jesus is supposed to increase as we are to decrease. He mentioned that he acted out in the flesh and that he was wrong in doing so. Now Chad says that he did this video entitled Counterfeit Christianity about a month ago dating a month back from July 17th 2020 and there was a group of people that apparently didn't get it and we're upset. Chad said that in the video he was accused of back loading works into salvation and preaching a false gospel which he says he does not do such a thing. Chad said he was also accused of not separating Salvation from Discipleship. That's a bit odd. Because true saved Christians do labor for the Lord. Many people misunderstand works. We are not saved by works but we are saved by faith alone through grace alone.  A true believer should have fruits that are evident. We cannot earn our Salvation.

Now Chad explains a little bit about that video where he had his relative being drunk around a campfire as an example and it was meant in a way as we are not to abuse Grace. He himself said he wasn't saying that his relative wasn't saved as he does not know his heart. Chad said that his relative professors the name of Jesus Christ but he doesn't know if he really believes in him. Even if somebody is truly saved and they get drunk it doesn't mean Gods going to cut them off right away but the word of God does give warning to fear the lord. As the Apostle Paul "What then shall we say?  Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase? Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer" God for-bid.  Romans 6.1

Once a person is truly saved and ind-welled by the Holy Spirit some people say that they are sealed and nobody can tear them out of the hands of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is actually written in Romans 8.35.  But there are those who preach if they backslide, they could be cut off and there's no more sin offering for them. It's called biblical wise : not trampling the blood of Christ Hebrew 10:29 or as in-counter reference in Romans 6.1 stated above. We don't have a license to sin especially for true believers who are truly saved. I have known true believers who I believe appear truly saved and heard a few of them swearing and seen them doing things that they shouldn't have been doing. As a true believer I would just advise them to review their commitment on the day of their salvation. Yes sometimes they would react angry. I also pray for them as well. You know people have a cross to bear especially true believers. How many people are truly willing to pick up that cross? You know the Bible says you must rebuke people with long suffering. 2 Timothy 4:2 So, you might ask yourself why is it long suffering? Because you have to defend the gospel and your commitment to Christ especially if you're one of his disciples/a true believer in the lord and saved. God is holy and when you are a part of his body you are to be separate from the sinful world and uphold those things that are holy.

Now then Chad mentioned that in the last month or so prior to the date of July 17th 2020 that it had been the hardest time in his life regarding spiritual warfare. So, he's emotional about this deli-ma. He did say that at one time he had about a hundred thousand subscribers (Starting with his original channel) and he didn't have any moderators and he was handling everything himself. On top of that Chad said that he is a husband and whom of course has a wife and a full-time job. So today he spoke from his heart a little bit according to his own words. He talked about walking in newness of life once you are truly saved and we are called to be separate. Is this true? Absolutely! We need to be in the world but not of the world according to the gospel. 

 Chad says that there are tons of counterfeit Christians in the world. As he says these are people who profess the name of Jesus Christ but really don't believe in their heart. Yes this is true. Better said there are people with God on their lips but their hearts are far from HIM. You know the Devil is a master deceiver and he come’s preaching another gospel and another Jesus Christ. Galatians 1:8 He is the prince and the God of this age, of this world. Chad says/stresses just look at religion, legalism and false Gospels.   Now this can be a huge debate of course. There is one gospel being the 66 books combination with the new testament and I prefer the King James Bible.

  

Chad says we are saved through faith alone and through grace alone and through Christ alone. What does he mean by Christ alone? There's no one else that died for your sins but the biblical Jesus Christ. The one the Bible  describes and I would recommend the King James Bible. 

Chad mentions that believers are apparently in different walks of life along their Journey. He's grown in the faith as he says since he was saved being a while back now.   I believe it was Apostle Paul who talked about the solid food or the milk for beginning believers. As one matures in the faith and grows spiritually each person is probably at a different stage from the other. It doesn't mean that some believers aren't at the same stage in their so-called walk with the Lord.  

People have different gifts and as written in scripture in 1 Corinthians 12:21 "And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you." People were given different gifts and the body has many parts. In other words many members. As written in 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 kjv "4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all."

  

So, Chad says that the Lord is still working in him and he will be until the day he is passed on/dead in the body or is rapture-d. Of course Chad is right when he says our attitude towards sin should change once the truth has set us free. True!

 Chad said he had nasty comments, fighting and emails going on and this has upset him / stressed him / caused him great concern. I think this is horrible. It truly is a cross and somebody said there was a bumper sticker saying "it's not God that I hate but it's his fan club." Are they really his fans? Strange times and you know it happens. We are living in a day similar to that of Noah's day. Christ said that his sheep hear his voice and they obey and they won't go to another sheepfold. So many people are not his sheep but they think they are. That doesn't mean that they can't be one day. You know the Christianity of today is not the Christianity of the end of the first Century. The gospel tells us that wolves came in and would not spare the sheep. History also confirms this. Act 20:29 Why does it matter. In some cases it has little bearing for some but in another way the  lord meant it to be different. You would have to study the way they did it in the 1st century to understand that. These days they have turned the house of the lord into a house of merchandise. I am reminded of John 2:16 quite often.

Chad also says that he loves each and every one of those people subscribed to his You-tube Channel. He is talking even about people whom attacked him. He said "I love you" in his own words. He has never preached a works salvation message is what he said. 

Chad finished his message with 1st Corinthians Chapter 1 10 -18. You know there should be peace in the body of Christ. People argue biblical prophecy and they also argue many other doctrines but they forget to love and that is why Christ said FEW BE THERE THAT FIND IT in their lifetimes. There have been preachers that I specifically heard about or read about/even known about that have quit all together because of the bickering and fighting among-st believers including preachers. None of us are perfect and some of us have understanding Scripture Wise/Other Wise but not in all areas while other people confuse it and take it out of context. No one is perfect. And the Bible is wonderful to have the word of God. It is the living word of God and also a manual filled with so much including prophecy. Christ is the life also and many people forget to live the life in Christ. Could you imagine fixing a computer and you studied the Manuel intensely and thoroughly but when it comes to the actual mechanical workmanship you're lost and confused. There are musicians who have become very famous who can't read dots on a page which of course to those trained are musical notes. Not to say that we shouldn't study scripture as we should. The word of God says that we should study and show ourselves approved unto the lord. 2 Timothy 2:15 But in these end times it was foretold and it is written in Scripture that people would become cold and wicked. Matthew 24:12 Where is the love gone? Where is the Christ glorified in people today? You know the gospel tells us blessed are the peacemakers for they shall inherit the earth.  Matthew 5:9 & of course as written in Psalm 118:26 "Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord."

  

I would like to see Chad continue in his walk with the Lord and grow in wisdom and overcome these obstacles in his way. I would ask people to pray for him and be supportive as well as understanding. God loves him. Would be nice if he could continue what he was doing and as I say overcome these divisions that don't sit well with the body of Christ. As written in 1 Corinthians 14:33 "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints".

Let God judge people's hearts. Bless you CHAD!

Forfeited souls lost for eternity

July 22 2020 8:22 Am / 9:44 AM

How many people went to heaven in Noah's day? In other words how many people were truly saved? Eight people

 "According to the post-biblical Jewish Midrash, eight people went to (or will go to) Heaven (also referred to as the Garden of Eden and Paradise) alive: Enoch, Noah's great grandfather." (Genesis 5:22–24)

"For now, note the unnamed author’s matter-of-fact tone in telling the story of global slaughter, in casually (even callously) suggesting the possibility that between 749,999,992 & 3,999,999,992 human beings drowned in the Flood, the Flood that young earth creationists use to wash away mainstream geology." This blog is not about the young earth debate! but the numbers are important!

If only 8 souls were saved in Noah's day out of 750 million people or possibly anywhere from 450 million even possibly raising to 450 billion people that is profound and shocking. Some may think is that the God of love. God is holy and man is wicked without God. Only 8 souls went to heaven/paradise out of all those people. The question is why? Because God is faithful to his word. Christ said if you don't repent you will all likewise perish. Remember Christ wasn't born at this time. But before Abraham he was. He was appointed to come to earth even before the foundations of the earth were laid. Ephesians 1:4 They laughed at Noah. In the end times they are doing the same thing. People can't wait to party or go back to normal during this pandemic before the world today. People are in love with sin and the great falling away is here. The riots where people do all sorts of evils while some are truly protesting are evident of the world we cannot see (Ephesians 6:12) and the fallen world. What is going to make someone not racist? God can change their hearts but man can point out the problem. Even help people understand that racism is evil and not love but Christ is the way, the truth and the life. Its God whom humbles the heart and gives people a new heart/spirit.

Since Noah's day Christ died for the sins of the world. John 3:16. Today we are not under law as if people broke one point it is almost the same as breaking all of them. We are under grace but shall grace abound? There is a progression point for true believers. They grow in the faith so to speak. One must deny themselves as it is written. 




So what is the bases for this blog today? Is the saving phase a world wide process that people can follow anything or even false doctrine and a counterfeit Christ? The answer is no: How do we know this? Because the lord Jesus Christ said a man must be born again (John 3.3). The progress for salvation came not by man but by the God of the bible being the God of Israel. He is the God of Abraham and the God of King David. As written Salvation is of the lord. Psalm 3:8 The Apostle Paul finished his fight to the end. He himself said he kept the good fight. Jesus said that he that endures till the end will be saved. Matthew 24:13  In retrospect from dust you came to dust you return. Seems a bit harsh to say that. Is it true. Yes!!! The souls/spirit came from God. Where do you go when not saved and judged by the father? Hell. Damnation. There is a way that appears right unto a man/woman but in the end it is the way of death. Proverbs 14:12 Someone once said no one gets away with anything. You must be saved and believe in the gospel. The way is NARROW. Only a thief tries to enter by some other door. 


In these end days/times when deception runs widespread and people refuse to hearken their ears to true doctrine as the world is deceived and written  in the book of revelation (Revelation 12:9) it even outlines Gods judgments will come due in the end times. (Scripture) People live wicked and think they are good. There is not even one according to Christ himself. A man/woman must be born again and do the will of the father and not the will of men whom deceive them. They must obey the lamb whom said his sheep will not go to another sheepfold nor listen to others but HIM. (Parables) Meanwhile back at the ranch the world serves the god of this world being the devil unaware as so many are deceived? Well you may say if God is real why does he let this happen? It full-fills his will and lets him know who truly listens and whom is rebellious to the letter. He knows the heart.  God is not the author of confusion. 1 Corinthians 14:33  He does not want any perish but people do perish. When a person thinks of light perhaps they think of sunlight/a bulb lighting a room or even a candle that gives light. This is not the light of truth. God does not think as men do according to Christ himself. He said the 1st must be last. Do men understand this? Perhaps Vaguely! Anyone whom truly is humbled by what is revealed in scripture knows that God highly as-teems a contrite person and he humbles the proud. See Christs expect-ion as the messiah did not fulfill the pharisees/religious elite of his day as they had Isaiah's prophecy but they prided themselves on their own merits or position as religious leaders. What a carpenters son! He had a face men looked away from and was well acquainted with sorrows. Despised of the world.... rejected and hated. Yet he was sinless and the lamb without fault/without sin/without blemish. How many people have these attributed that walked the earth ever but Christ? This is the real Christ before he entered into his glory when he fulfilled his earthly mission as he said "It is finished". Surly if he was whom he said he was the world would have not rejected him and those religious leaders would have wanted/served him. They served their best interest! Arrogance and pride were their best friend as well as deception.

Now we can go on forever but I will not. The question you must ask yourselves is are you deceived? Do you read the bible and pray? Have you believed in yourselves or the God the the bible. God him-self says he knows of no others God that exist but HIM. Exodus 20:3  Satin is not God! Satin is a master deceiver that deceives the whole world and yes he/the devil is REAL! The word of God is truth. Are you saved and do you know what true salvation is? Do you understand scripture and what is revealed. Sin will dam your soul. This is the hour of salvation when you need to turn from darkness unto light. Get Saved. What will it profit you to gain the world and perish? Hell is no picnic.
