My father, My God
By Reid Baer
When did my foul anger
turn from him to Him and
how long have I profaned
One name for another?
What shall become of this
lost son such as I am …
Who shall I call padre
on earth or heaven and
where shall I go for me
And for my deep repentance?
Can I possibly clear
my worldly mind, clean
My sullied heart, atone
suitably to approach
His throne in faith I pray
For a compelling fight
with all my might to know
for sure the one true Christ.

August 15 marks the end of the Blessed Virgin Mary's earthly life and the assumption of her body and soul into heaven.
We all have read about the many sightings of the Holy Mother over the years, but what do you do when an image of her miraculously appears in a glass you once used for coffee? Share it with others!
With the recent downturn in the economy many of us are in need of a miracle. Then again, we're always in need of miracles, or at least in need of proof that miracles are possible. What is a miracle?
Many people that have seen this glass in person, have described themselves as getting chills and having the hair on the back of their necks stand up. Others have commented on the bluish hue (aura) that can be clearly seen surrounding the image.

Ye are gods – if only ye knew it’
I am not the Second Coming of Christ because this is the first time I’ve come – so to speak. The Second Coming is the Second Orgasm of the Universe. The first was the flash of Creation or Zion, referred to as by scientists as the Big Bang. Creation is the transition from disincarnation to incarnation — as essence or Holy Spirit or DNA.
To be clear, I am not the re-incarnation of Jesus Christ. The events described in the Gospels are a prophecy, not an historical record. That is why they are so inconsistent. I am therefore the only Jesus Christ, although many cultures have called the Chosen One of God by many different names, like the Final Boddisatva in Buddhism or the Mahdi in Islam or the Messiah in Hebrew. As Dolores, I’m also the Magdalen, meaning the ‘Tower of the Flock’ in Hebrew, a reference to one of the Chosen One’s roles, the Shepherd. (The soul of) Jesus has incarnated into every culture throughout time as a man, woman and as many other weird and wonderful creatures.

The New Heaven and the New Earth
And I John saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away and there was no more sea; and I John saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the Tabernacle of God is with men...There came unto me one of the seven angels saying, come, hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. And he carried me in the spirit to a high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the Holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God...and I saw no temple therein for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the Temple of it. And the city had no need of sun nor moon to shine in it, for the Glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. Rev 21:1-3a, 9,22,23
Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. 19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. 20 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. 21 Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. Isaiah 60:18-21
Isaiah 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
All the host of heaven shall be dissolved, And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll; All their host shall fall down As the leaf falls from the vine, And as fruit falling from a fig tree. Isaiah 34:4
Isaiah 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.The New Heaven and the New Earth

1948
In 1948, the fig tree or Israel began to put forth leaves, so to speak, and Jesus said that generation would see ‘all these things’ fulfilled.
The Bible said that pivotal event in history would take place simultaneously with the birth of a revived Roman Empire . A unified Europe looks back to its’ foundation as January 1, 1948.
It said an apostate world religion would develop at the same time. Revelation 13:11 describes this religious system as “having two horns like a lamb” -- symbols of Christianity. The World Council of Churches was born in 1948.
It predicts that global political system will co-exist with a global economy. The World Trade Organization -- a trade organization empowered to regulate the global economy with the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, enacted by the UN in 1948.
The Bible predicted that global economy will fall under the control of a single individual who will be able to regulate commerce down to the individual level -- “That no man might buy or sell” -Rev 13:17.
In 1948 Bell Labs invented the transistor chip, signaling the official birth of the Computer Age.
That final age would be marked by 'rumors of war' - Matt 24:7. The ultimate 'rumor of war' was the Cold War. It began with the Berlin Airlift of 1948. The Soviet collapse was a direct result of the cost of fighting the Cold War. The ongoing decline of US influence in the world is also related to the costs of that 'war'. The power vacuum left by the simultaneous decline of each of these great powers is being filled by Europe , just as the Bible predicted.
Earthquakes began to show a marked increase in size, scope and intensity in 1948. The modern period of ethnos against ethnos can be traced to the death of colonialism beginning in 1948. Increasing 'pestilence' or deadly disease, can be traced to 1948. Economic 'kingdoms' began with the first multinational corporations in 1948.
Legislation passed by the UN in 1948 like the UDHR and the UNCPR function today as the legal cornerstones of our developing globalist worldview and the disintegration of US Constitutional guarantees.
The decline in morality -- worldwide -- can arguably be placed at the feet of the current trend of devaluing human life to the degree that legislation permitting abortion and euthanasia are evidences of an 'advanced' society.
The Japanese Eugenics Act -- the first legal abortion on demand legislation ever passed in modern society -- was passed in 1948. American Margaret Sanger was so impressed with the idea that she founded the premier abortion rights advocacy group -- Planned Parenthood -- in 1948.
Let's not forget the other technological advances introduced in 1948 -- commercial television, holography, cybernetics, meteorology, the nuclear arms race, microelectronics and dozens of other advances that served to demystify the books of Daniel and the Revelation for this generation.
Add that to the social breakdown that followed the ouster of God from American education following McCollum vs. the board of education decision of 1948.
In Europe , Muslims families are more than double the size of European families. ... The average European couple now has fewer than 1.4 babies, compared to 3.6 babies born to the average Muslim immigrant couple in Europe . Across Western Europe 16 to 20 percent of babies are being born into Muslim families. ... Germany’s birth rate in 2005 fell to a level lower than at the end of World War II, now fifty percent lower than those of France and Great Britain ..... France is at least 12 percent Muslim. If present birth trends continue, by 2030 a quarter of France ’s people will be Muslim, more than enough to determine who controls the national parliament and executive. ... The nuclear-armed French military is already 15 percent Muslim. Adjacent Switzerland is now 20 percent Muslim.
Muslim populations are largely concentrated in and around big cities, where big city politics gives them plenty of clout. .1948

God said that in the end time He would restore the land of Israel and the people of Israel back to their land. The U.S. has encouraged Israel to give up her Covenant Land and has experienced 11of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history.
Abu Jihad, Yasser Arafat's deputy, at the PLO's Algiers summit in 1988 said: 'What we are doing is carrying out a two-phase strategy. This is a policy that says first we get a Palestinian State next to Israel, then we use it as a base to destroy what remains of Israel. In order to get to the first step we must persuade the world of our good intentions, that we don't intend to carry out the second phase.'.... In other words these are deceptions aimed at gaining the support of the nations of the world for a policy which in fact they would disapprove of, namely the destruction of Israel.--- According to the Koran, muslims are not obligated to honor any agreement or peace treaty made with non-muslims

President Clinton uses Army Tanks against American citizens
On February 28, 1993, ATF agents in National Guard helicopters zoomed in on the Branch Davidians' church and home, Mount Carmel Center, they did so with guns blazing, just like an American raid on a Vietnamese village. Bill and Hilary Clinton, Janet Reno and Democratic presidential candisate, General Wesley Clark who supplied the Army tanks, were responsible for the deaths of more than 74 men, women and children who died in the inferno, including twelve children younger than five years of age. David Koresh's unarmed father-in-law, who stood with him at the front door of the church while the unarmed Koresh begged ATF agents to back off, was killed by gunfire from ATF agents on the ground. The agents shot wildly and threw grenades at the building for more than an hour, even as Davidians called "911" to beg for a ceasefire. ATF snipers later killed one Davidian as he tried to reenter Mount Carmel to join his family.
At dawn on April 19, 1993, and throughout the morning, tanks rammed holes in the main building and pumped (in the FBI's words) "massive amounts" of CS gas into the building, despite knowing that inside were more than a dozen children. The tanks demolished parts of the compound and created tunnels for the wind to blow through. The buildings at this point were saturated with inflammable CS gas and spilled kerosene. ...Around midday two U.S. military pyrotechnic devices were fired into the main building, igniting a fire which (because of the holes in the walls allowed the wind to gust through) spread rapidly through the complex of buildings and became an inferno and more than 74 men, women and children died. Fire trucks were prevented by the FBI from approaching the inferno. After the compound had burned down the ATF flag was hoisted aloft to signify 'victory'. The local sheriff investigated and found no basis for complaints against the Branch Davidians. According to him these were law-abiding American citizens. In his April 20th news conference Bill Clinton growled that Janet Reno should not have to resign "because some religious fanatics murdered themselves."God said that in the end time He would restore the land of Israel and the people of... more

TIMELINE OF WORLD HISTORY
Foreword
For 2000 years Jesus the Messiah, who came first to Israel, has been a stranger to most of His own Jewish people. It is mostly Gentiles who worship Him on all the continents of the earth. Recently Jews by the millions have returned to Israel. There is also a resurgence of faith in Jesus as the Messiah among a minority of Israelis. ... . The Prophets foretold this would occur at the time of the Second Coming of Jesus: "Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, to which they are gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land" (Ezekiel. 37:21).
For most of us, our world revolves around our jobs, our homes, our finances or who wins and loses in the political arena. We fail to see what is happening in Bible prophecy. This expanded Timeline of World History will acquaint you with the Bloodline of Jesus the Messiah and the History of the World from the Garden of Eden to the Second Coming of Jesus as well as God's End Time Revelations to Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah and John

The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in The Lamb's book of life."
"Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of The Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of The Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve Him. They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for The Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever."
"The angel said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, The God of the spirits of the Prophets, sent His angel to show His servants the things that must soon take place."... Revelation 21:1 - 22:6
The New Jerusalem - by John A. Sarkett
1,500 miles in each direction -- a perfect cube. ...The basic building material is transparent gold, for buildings and for streets, a special kind of monochromatic splendor.
The city is surrounded by a wall that is 144 cubits. This wall is made of jasper, again a clear diamond-like substance. It has twelve foundations. The twelve foundations of the wall of the city are decorated with all manner of precious stones.
T Rev 21:19-AND THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE WALL OF THE CITY (this was also mentioned in Rev 21:14) WERE GARNISHED (or decorated) WITH ALL MANNER (or kinds) OF PRECIOUS STONES.
THE FIRST FOUNDATION WAS JASPER (or diamond);
THE SECOND, SAPPHIRE (blue);
THE THIRD, A CHALCEDONY (a combination of gray, blue, and yellow; or blue with stripes
THE FOURTH, AN EMERALD (green);
THE FIFTH, SARDONYX (red and white or pale blue);
THE SIXTH, SARDIUS (or carnelian) (a bright red, or amber, or honey color);
THE SEVENTH, CHRYSOLITE ( purple and green);
THE EIGHTH, BERYL (sea green or bluish green);
THE NINTH, A TOPAZ (yellowish green or golden);
THE TENTH, A CHRYSOPRASUS (apple green or mixed blue, green, and yellow);
THE ELEVENTH, A JACINTH (turquoise, or violet)
THE TWELFTH, AN AMETHYST (purple)
The wall has twelve gates, each made of pearl. And on the gates are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. At these gates stand twelve angels.
There will not be a Temple. The magnificent palace-sanctuary of the millennium will be gone, The Lord God Almighty and the Lamb will be the Temple, Revelation tells us.
Something else will be conspicuous by its absence. No sun. No moon, either. God's own glory will lighten Jerusalem, both God the Father, and God the Son. And so there will be no night as we know it. Does this all sound just a little bit austere? God. Shining powerfully, almost audibly. No night. A city made up of building blocks of gold. With transparent, shining walls.?
By this time you will have already worked side-by-side with Jesus the Messiah for 1,000 years in government service. You'll have all the feelings of love, happiness, joy that you may ever have yearned to have and share with others to live and repeat forever and ever. Affection, approval and recognition.
You'll have lots of friends there, too. All the 'nations of the saved' will be there, on the new earth, and be bringing their own glory and honor into new Jerusalem.
There will also be some rather lush and exquisite vegetation in the new city, a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal. This river runs right out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, just as the Millennial river flowed out of the sanctuary, east and west.The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.

Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:"
The Devil and his angels will also be judged at this time which Jude calls the Judgement of the 'Great Day'. (Jude 6) When this judgement is over the Devil and his angels and all the ungodly, will have been consigned to the Lake of Fire..... This will take place at the close of the Millennial reign of Jesus the Messiah, The timing of this judgement in Heaven appears to coincide with the renovation of the earth, in 2 Peter 3:7." But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgement and perdition of ungodly men."
The New Jerusalem
"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then He said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
"One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of The Lamb." And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of The Lamb."

"The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12000 furlongs or 1500 miles ( 1342 meters ) in length, and as wide and high as it is long ( a cube like the Holy of Holies ). He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits by man's measurement, which the angel was using.
The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass."
"I did not see a Temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its Temple. The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and The Lamb is its lamp. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.

Great White Throne
"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. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." (Revelation 20:11-14)
"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Revelation 21:5-8)
We are told of this burning thirst, which can not be quenched, in the story of the beggar Lazarus, and the rich man. "And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame."
Who will stand before THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT? The answer is dead people. Verse 12 reads, "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God." These are people who are "dead" in two ways. They are dead physically. The resurrection of the wicked dead will be a literal bodily resurrection, which necessitates the spirit and soul returning to the body. In verse 13 it is clear that bodies are brought forth from every depository that holds their dust. No matter what happens to your body, whether it be burned by fire, buried at sea, or blown to bits by a bomb, God will gather your body once again to stand before His presence.
These people are also dead spiritually! These are those who by their own choice are dead to God, "dead in trespasses and sins. THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT is for the unsaved, the lost, those who have refused the sacrifice of Jesus Christ by which God is able to forgive sin! This passage tells us that there will be present both "small and great." Big sinners, little sinners, rich, poor, employers, employees, educated, uneducated, famous, unknown, all types of people of all ages, in all walks of life, will stand before Christ unprepared. No one is excluded from this judgement unless they are saved!
This Court or throne has full power and authority to destroy both the body and soul in Hell for eternity! Jesus warned in Matthew 10:28 "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell." ... There is no exemption for those who reject the Son of God. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.".... Those who have rejected the love of God through the person of Jesus Christ will be cast into everlasting fire with Satan and His imps of Hell! ... Also read Proverbs 1:24-29 "Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.Great White Throne

The initial return will not be in Armageddon, or on the Mount of Olives. A summary sequence of the events are as follows:
1. At the close of the tribulation all the nations gather in the Valley of Jezreel near the Mountain of Meggido.
2.The Jewish remnant will flee Jerusalem and run south because the armies of the Antichrist are in the north in Meggido.
3.They will flee the land of Israel and somehow end up in Southern Jordan (Edom) in the city of Petra or ancient Bozrah.
4.Out of desperation the Jewish remnant will call upon the Messiah while in Petra or Bozrah. They will say; "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD." (Matthew 23:39, Luke 13:35,) All of Israel will be Saved (Romans 11).
5.The Messiah will return with the great sacrifice of the Gentile armies in Bozrah. Later Bozrah will be made into a total burning wasteland throughout the millennial kingdom.
6.The Sword of the Lord will smite the Armies until there is blood up to the horses neck for 200 miles back to Jerusalem.
7.The movement will be northward to Jerusalem where He will make the victory assent to the Mount of Olives.
8.There will be a gathering of all surviving Gentile nations where the Messiah will divide them according to their helping Jesus' brethren the Jews. The pro-Jewish sheep gentiles will be allowed into the Kingdom and the anti-Jewish goat gentiles will go into everlasting punishment.
9.The Davidic throne will be established in Jerusalem and the earth will be renovated for the Messianic Kingdom that will last one thousand years.
Who is this who comes from Edom (Southern Jordan), with garments of glowing colors from Bozrah, This One who is majestic in His apparel, Marching in the greatness of His strength? "It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save." Why is Your apparel red, And Your garments like the one who treads in the wine press? "I have trodden the wine trough alone, And from the peoples there was no man with Me. I also trod them in My anger, And trampled them in My wrath; And their lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments, And I stained all My raiment. "For the day of vengeance was in My heart, And My year of redemption has come. "And I looked, and there was no one to help, And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold; So My own arm brought salvation to Me; And My wrath upheld Me. "And I trod down the peoples in My anger, And made them drunk in My wrath, And I poured out their lifeblood on the earth." ....Isaiah 63:1-6
The Lord is returning with His Saints who come from heaven.
