1 John 2
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 5
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Lot's wife and daughters
We can learn something when we examine scripture about Lot's wife. In a previous post, I showed Lot was a righteous man and had reasons to do what he did. Now we will explore a little about Lot's wife and the possible end times ramifications.
Yeshua said the time of the end will be as the time of Noah and the time of Lot. I showed in a previous post this could also refer to globalism and rebellion against Yahweh although the main sign of those times was the vile wickedness. With Lot being a righteous man and being vexed with the city he lived in (as so many True Believers are vexed of what is happening today) one reason he may have been in sodom was because of his wife and her love of the city.
Genesis 19
14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord: 19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Notice that Lot, his wife, and his daughters all escaped sodom and were safely in Zoar whe Lot's wife looked back. She was saved and then disobeyed and was judged. Look at the warning Yeshua gives for the end times:
Luke 17
26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
This passage is why I believe that their will be war and missile strikes immediately after the rapture. The people are told when it happens to flea and not look back and are given the warning of Lot's wife. It says that both Noah and Lot left and on the same day destruction happened.
In an earlier post on Righteous Lot, I showed how he was not to blame for his daughters "date raping" him after they believed they may be the only ones left alive.
Genesis 19
30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
The firstborn daughter bore a son to Lot and named him Moab who was the father of the Moabites. What most people do not realize is that Ruth, King David's great grandmother, was from this line - she was a Moabite - and therefore Lot and his daughter are in the line of Messiah Yeshua.
Ruth 1
1 Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
2 And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
3 And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
4 And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years.
Ruth 4
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.
14 And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.
17 And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
So interesting to study scripture and see what happened based on what choices the people of Ancient Israel made.

Days of Noah and Days of Lot - wickedness AND GLOBALISM!
Years From Creation :
(all years / ages from the book of Genesis)
Jared 460-1422
Noah: 1056 - 2006
Shem 1556-2158
FLOOD: 1656
Arpachshad 1658-2096
Shelah 1693-2126
Eber 1723-2187
Peleg 1757-1996
Terah 1878-2083
Abraham:1948-2123
First a little history information. The tower of babel occurred after the flood and before Abraham's birth. Some claim it happened in 2,200BC which works out to be 1744 since creation. I do not see is accurate due to the bible mentioning the time of division of the nations / languages occurred during the time of Peleg who was born in 1757 after creation. We cannot know for sure the dates BC that many events occurred although we CAN know for sure the year from Creation that many of the same events occurred.
Genesis 10:25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
Genesis 11
1 And the whole earth was of one language and of one speech.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3 And they said one to another: 'Come, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly.' And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
4 And they said: 'Come, let us build us a city, and a tower, with its top in heaven, and let us make us a name; lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.'
5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the LORD said: 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do; and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.'
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city.
Peleg and all of his ancestors from Noah to his father Eber were not only alive during the tower of babel, they were all alive when Abraham and Lot were born. It is interesting that the wickedness that led up to the tower of babel happened 100 - 292 years after the flood. The tower of babel mirrors the timeline of the wickedness that led up to the flood. From commentaries, it is said that the angels that fell and took wives (creating the nephillim) happened in the days of Jared and other writings say 200 years before the flood. The tower of babel pretty much mirrors of what happened before the flood including the same timeline and the cities of sodom and gomorah, about 500 miles away, existed at the same time the tower of babel was built and they were filled with wickedness and homosexuality.
IF the tower of babel happened closer to the time of Abraham and Lot, it would be most interesting in that Yeshua said that the end times would be as in the days of Noah and the Days of Lot. YES this means wickedness including homosexuality, genetic manipulation and such but it also could mean the globalism nature and people working together for "the greater good" and trying to be like God by transhumanism, cyborgs, and other technologies that is being used to try and gain immortality.
I'm thinking that when Abraham was told to move from Chaldea, it may have been part of the spreading out in the aftermath of babel so that may be one indication the tower of babel may have been closer to Abraham (and Lot's) birth than to the flood. Also there would have had to have been enough time to build the population up for them to get together to build the tower. Even though I believe they may have had electricity, automobiles of some sort, and other technology before the flood, they would not have had it after the flood or at least not enough to have rebuilt it by then. Most who were involved in the globalism / rebellion of the tower were likely still alive in Abraham and Lot's day (as were all their ancestors from Noah on) and they still had the globalist view - they just could not work together because Yahweh gave them different languages.
Genesis 11
28 And Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
30 And Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
Today we not only have the wickedness and violence that was prevalent before the flood in the days of Noah and the days of Lot, we also have the globalism and science (including the space programs, cloning, genetic manipulation) that are working together to "be like god" just like in the days of Noah - remember he was still alive when the tower of babel was built - and right before Lot was born - and they didn't stop their rebellion and trying to be like Yahweh, they were just slowed down when the languages were changed and they were spread throughout the world. Part of the wickedness then was definitely the working together against Yahweh and in the future will culminate in their turning their weapons against Yahweh when Yeshua returns.
Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
The days of Noah and days of Lot Yeshua says will be right before His return DEFINITELY includes violence, homosexuality, calling evil good and good evil. It also includes globalism and the working together doing things Yahweh said to not do as part of the rebellion against Him. Just an interesting study.

Satan's antichrist?
There is a teaching that I have thought to be accurate without giving it much thought. While studying recently have been shown it is not 100% accurate. That teaching is: satan always had an antichrist candidate waiting because he did not know when the end would be. satan knows scripture and he knows it better than we do since he has a better knowledge of Yahweh and Yeshua and he has seen the bible played out since the beginning of time. Even in the wilderness, satan (mis) quoted scripture to Yeshua to try and tempt Him:
Matthew 4
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And 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.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
To state satan has an antichrist candidate waiting at all times is giving satan power to choose who the antichrist is. satan has no such power to do this. When Yeshua selected His disciples, He chose judas KNOWING judas was a devil:
John 6
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
satan knows the description of the antichrist and he is the author of confusion. My belief is that satan has selected someone since the time of Yeshua to be "the antichrist" to cause confusion for those who do not know scripture so they believe that his person is the antichrist. This would discredit the bible, and therefore Yahweh, since his candidate did not fit the description Yahweh gave of the antichrist.
Some of the people that satan used as "antichrist candidates" to confuse people and discredit the bible in the eyes of unbelievers (and some believers) :
- antiochus epiphanes
- charlemagne
- nero
- napolean
- benito mussolini
- joseph stalin
- francisco franco
- john f. kennedy
- hitler
- henry kissinger
- mikhail gorbachev
- king juan carlos
- philipe gonzales (spain)
- bill gates (microsoft)
- president nixon
- president reagan
- president clinton
- president bush
- prince charles
- prince william
- prince harry
- erdogan (from turkey)
- Alexis Tsipras
- putin
- president obama
- etc.
1 Corinthians 5
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
satan masquerades as an angel of light and the man he ultimately possesses - the man Yahweh chose, not satan -will at first appear to be the savior of mankind like a Donald Trump and not someone who is obviously evil like obama or erdogan.
Even satan knows most people do not know their bible and he knows they will judge according to appearances and not according to scripture. I can imagine he sits back and laughs at the stupid people he can fool so easily.
2 Corinthians 11
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Once the rapture happens, the false "christians" that were left behind will be given over to a strong delusion and will believe the lie - likely including that the antichrist is Jesus and the wicked were taken. After all, it "couldn't have been the rapture because we are still here"
2 Thessalonians 2
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
I can't help but think that these false christians will become black hearted (as so many already have) and will be given over to a reprobate mind (IE: unable to be saved) and the false "christians" will become rampant homosexuals during the tribulation (as so many are in the ihop / NAR apostate movement now) Notice even if you are not a participant if you give moral support to these people you will suffer the same punishment that they do.
Romans 1
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Now is the time to repent before it is too late. Nobody knows when the next breath will be their last. Messiah Yeshua said we are to follow Him which means obey what He has written throughout scripture.
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. G458
Matthew 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; G458
Matthew 23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. G458
Matthew 24:12 And because iniquity G458 shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity G458 doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
Strong's number G458 : iniquity (transliterated as anomia) is
anomiaJohn14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
1) the condition of without law
a) because ignorant of it
b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness
John14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
1 John 5
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Should Christians vote?
Whenever a "pastor" or "christian" teacher speaks on politics, they make the statement 'it's a Christian's duty to vote' like it's a doctrine from the bible. They even (mis)use a few verses to make their man-made doctrine to appear to be from the bible.
Yahweh does NOT need your vote. Yes, He does use people to carry out His plans although He does not tell His people to compromise to do so. Yahweh can get the heathen, including the false "christians", to carry out His plans as He has since the Garden of Eden (He was not surprised by Adam and Eve's fall otherwise He would have had angels guarding the trees to prevent them from eating or would not have put the trees in the garden)
Deuteronomy 13
1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
While this passage is about false prophets, the principle is the same: Even if Yahweh allows the false prophet's prophecies to come to pass, they are still a false prophet and Yahweh is using them as a test to see if you will follow after them or will choose Him. If you support or vote for a political candidate that is not following Yahweh, they will lead you to a false "god" whether it be allah, ba-al, or mammon. This is a test to see if you truly love Yahweh.
Many "christians" believe they need to vote for the "least evil" when there is not a True Christian candidate. This hints at dominionism where they think they need to do things THEIR WAY to get the world perfect for Yeshua's return. Nowhere in scripture does it hint that we are to compromise to make things "better". In fact, this is the end times and voting for someone who APPEARS to be a lessor evil (in their opinion) may be contrary to Yahweh's plan. I can't get over how many "teachers" claim that "if Christians voted in the last election, obama would not have been elected". Really? obama is the person Yahweh wanted in office to bring judgment against this nation. Voting against him would have been against Yahweh's plan. It would also have been a compromise since there were not any True Christian candidates that had a chance to win and voting for him was voting for an obvious evil. I believe voting is a test to see if you will compromise to gain earthly benefits following after someone who is against Yahweh or will follow Yahweh and let Him put in the candidate of His choice that will fulfill His plan.
Yahweh was Ancient Israel's King but they demanded an earthly king. Yahweh planned on giving them King David when David was old enough (he had not been born yet), but they wanted a king right then. Judah was going to rule as was given in prophecy (David is from Judah) and Yahweh gave the people what THEY wanted - king Saul who was from Benjamin.
Genesis 49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
Genesis 49:27 Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
Saul was tall and good looking - someone that appeared good to the people - but he did not obey Yahweh. If the people had waited until Yahweh's timing, Yahweh would have led them directly until David was born and was old enough to rule.
People going with the crowds instead of Yahweh's plan is what led them to want Barabbas released and Yeshua crucified. Yes, this was Yahweh's plan although the people were individually responsible for their actions. Fortunately for them, Yeshua asked Yahweh to forgive them because they did not know what they were doing. Likely they were given over to do this so Yahweh's plan would be carried out.
Matthew 27
17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
Yahweh can get people to carry out His plans without their help. In fact, the middle east conflict is because Abraham and Sarah did not trust Yahweh and His timing and tried to help Him. Yahweh promised them a son and because Sarah was 90 years old and was barren, they decided to have a son through her handmaiden. This resulting son was Ishmael the father of the Saudis and was an ancestor of muhammed. Abraham and Sarah had to live with their decisions to not wait for Yahweh's timing and trying to help Him out.
Genesis 15
2 And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
Genesis16
1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
3 And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
Genesis 16
8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
Many "christians" are supporting Trump for president because he is the opposite of obama. While he looks good, like King Saul, is he someone a Christian should vote for? Consider his track record:
- Married several times
- Numerous affairs
- Wealth comes from casinos
- Owns at least one strip club,
- Recently a democrat
- Recently supported abortions
- Identifies with presbyterian church although nominal (at best) christian.
- Looked up to Norman Vincent Peal as a Christian leader
The end times is here and antichrist is about to come into power. Why do Christians believe they can vote for a candidate to "make the U.S. strong again" when it is going against what the bible says will happen in the end times? I believe whether you vote or not and who you vote for is a test by Yahweh. Voting for someone to "make the world better" when you know that is not Yahweh's end time plan or if you vote for someone who is vocally opposed to Yahweh is a test to see if you value this world and the dominionist view of apostate "christianity" or if you will follow Yahweh whole heartedly. I stopped voting and got out of politics when Yahweh opened my eyes about President Bush and the end time plan after the ecumenical prayer movement in the wake of the 9-11 events (which Yahweh clearly told me "Bush did it")

Shabbat Shalom!
Just like today, during the inquisitions one of the differences between a follower of Yahweh (Jews and True Believers who follow Yeshua as Messiah) and those who were pagans or "christian" in name only (lukewarm) was the obedience to Torah.
The two Torah commands, the Sabbath and the dietary rules, that were used by the pagans (catholics included) as a test during the inquisitions to see who was not following the pagan religion commanded by the pagan rulers. Those that observed the Sabbath and refused to eat pork were put to death. I plan on writing a post about the inquisitions of old as well as the modern day inquisitions soon.
