THE TIMING OF JESUS RETURN

Posted on by

I have just discovered John Bevere’s teaching on the end times. I have posted many videos by Nelson Walters, Jonathan Cahn, and others on the end times, but it is always good to find somebody new preaching a Biblically based message.

In this episode, John and his son, Arden Bevere, explore Jesus’ second coming, proving through Scripture that we are in the generation of the end. They unpack prophetic signs, the dangers of deception, and the importance of enduring with a love for truth. This conversation also dives into Daniel’s 70 Weeks prophecy and how it connects to Jesus’ first and second coming. Don’t miss this eye-opening episode that will deepen your understanding of the end times and strengthen your faith!

PROPOSED NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS IN AUSTRALIA

Posted on by

Half of the nuclear power stations under construction in the world are in China. Eleven more were signed off by Premier Li Qiang at a single meeting in Aug­ust. Many analysts forecast that China will likely approve and construct them at that rate – 10 or so a year — for the next three decades. It must also be remembered that China is the world’s biggest carbon emitter and it is approving two new coal plants per week. You read that correctly, two new coal plants are approved each week.

Dutton’s nuclear power plan calls for building seven nuclear power ­stations over the same three-decade period.

An important part of Dutton’s plan is to have its nuclear plants located at or near existing power plant sites. This eliminates the need for a huge new transmission grid. Also, nuclear provides ‘always-on’ power needed to back up renewables, stabilising the grid and keeping energy affordable.

The Coalition’s approach integrates zero-emissions nuclear energy alongside renewables and gas, delivering a total system cost significantly lower than Labor’s. This means reduced power bills for households, lower operating costs for small businesses, and a stronger, more resilient economy.

A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM FOR THE CHARISMATIC MOVEMENT

Posted on by

Jon Mark Baker is the Director of Evangelism and Discipleship at Roots Church in Metro Detroit. He recently wrote an article in The Christian Post on January 29th, 2025, entitled “The Charismatic movement has a systemic problem: We tend to protect our leaders“. It is a revealing article in which he shares his own experience in the movement.

The silence of the shepherds

When the Lakeland Outpouring imploded, I was sad, but not devastated. “People fall sometimes,” I told myself. Todd Bentley seemed like a gifted man who needed maturity. I trusted Bill Johnson and Rick Joyner to handle the matter with wisdom. “Maybe Todd could actually be restored?”

Then in 2019 news broke that Todd Bentley had returned to ministry and had carried on with horrific abuse and sin that a panel of Charismatic leaders (people that I had never heard of) deemed to be disqualifying. But the big-name leaders of this movement that had so inspired me, the ones I knew and trusted were completely silent.

I was furious. Why the silence? Shouldn’t victims of abuse hear the voices of their ostensible shepherds rebuking wolves on their behalf? The very ones who took responsibility for “restoring” Todd Bentley after 2008, the very men who had laid hands on him that same year and appointed him as an apostle and authority figure within this movement are silent as church mice except to provide a rebuke to the whistleblower who had exposed things in the first place.

Then news about Mike Bickle’s alleged serial sexual misconduct began to drip out and people like Rick Joyner called it a “nothing burger” and even suggested Mike would return to ministry shortly. Others of my former heroes have yet to say a word to this day. Bickle’s alleged victims are all members of this movement, and those women deserved to hear the voices they respected speak a word in their defense. 

Silence. Deafening silence.

I have wept much in prayer over the last year. I pray for the saints whose faith may have been rocked by these scandals. But it seems painfully obvious to me that in our desire to experience God, we have forgotten to obey Him.

Amos’ rebuke to Israel (and to us):

“I hate, I despise your religious festivals; your assemblies are a stench to me. Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings,
I will have no regard for them. Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream! (Amos 5:21-24 NIV).

In the charismatic movement, much attention is given to praise, worship, contemplative prayer, and the types of disciplines that lead to spiritual experience. These are good. But the Lord says these practices are a stench to Him if while doing them, we have neglected justice. When the shepherds and sheep are silent in the face of the accusations against Mike Bickle, Robert Morris, Daystar Television, Todd Bentley, Chris Reed, Bob Hartley, and many more; when we merely shut our ears and sing our songs hoping for the next personal encounter, the Lord says He despises it because while we praise Him with our lips we neglect justice for the victims of these predators. I wonder if we have loved the experience of praising God more than we have loved the God of our praise?

To love God is to love what He loves, and to hate what He hates. Our God is the avenger of the abused and the punisher of the wicked. Our God is the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep. He leaves the 99 to find the 1. Our God sides with the oppressed.

Seek God, not the structures we have built around God

The charismatic movement is filled with people like me who long for a deep, experiential walk with God. When we discovered places like Bethel and ministries like it, we felt as though we “found our tribe.” And many, like me, began to trust these leaders and even outsource our discernment and walk with God to those who had seen more than we had.

But the prophet Amos has a rebuke to us as well:

“This is what the Lord says to Israel: “Seek me and live; do not seek Bethel, do not go to Gilgal, do not journey to Beersheba. For Gilgal will surely go into exile, and Bethel will be reduced to nothing” (Amos 5:4-5 NIV).

Resist the temptation to eisegete here. 

Bethel was the city of the King of Israel, Jeroboam. It was the seat of his power. Bethel was likely chosen because of its history of being a place where people met with God. After all, that’s where Jacob encountered the Lord and how the place got its name. (Bethel means “House of God.”) Bethel is where Eli judged Israel and facilitated the sacrificial system of worship to the Lord. Bethel became a place of power and safety for the Northern Kingdom and represented military might in which Israel could place their trust if an invading army came.

But in this passage, Amos is rebuking Israel for putting their trust in the structures that they had built around their history with God rather than in God Himself. God is saying through Amos, “Stop seeking the institutions that supposedly represent Me. Seek Me and live!”

Many charismatics have substituted the structures that surround their history with God for a genuine relationship with the Lord Himself. Many charismatics have forgotten what got them into this movement in the first place: a desire to love and experience God. Instead, many became infatuated with the personalities and institutions that have been built up around these encounters. They put their trust in the curators of “revival” and outsourced their discernment and more to those they considered to be fathers in this movement. They began to seek Bethel and not God, and the Lord was displeased.

Let’s return to our first love. Let us seek to know and love Him. Let us seek to please Him by speaking for the voiceless and holding to account those who have abused the vulnerable. “Let justice roll on like a river.”

ROBOTS EVERYWHERE IN OUR SOCIETY: INDUSTRY, HOMES, TRANSPORT, EVEN ENTERTAINMENT

Posted on by

According to Chinese media, The Economic Observer, the CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang, arrived in Beijing on January 19th 2025, for Nvidia’s branch annual meeting, where he dined with Xingxing Wang, CEO of humanoid robot maker Unitree Robotics, and He Wang, founder of Galbot (Robotics). Both are representatives of a younger generation of Chinese tech entrepreneurs born in the 1990s, now in their early 30s.

Chinese media China Star Market also reported that Xingxing Wang shared a photo with Huang on social media, captioned: “New year, new beginning, let’s go!” The report highlighted that Huang held meetings with high-level representatives from several leading Chinese robotics companies during his time in Beijing. Aside from Unitree Robotics and Galbot, attendees included executives from LimX Dynamics, Booster Robotics, and Kecheng Huang, co-founder of Emerging AI.

Another media outlet China Entrepreneur noted that Huang and Unitree’s Wang are not strangers to each other. In March 2024, during the GTC conference, Huang showcased nine humanoid robots, including those from Unitree. At CES 2025, Nvidia also announced its partnerships with Chinese robotics companies such as Unitree Robotics and XPeng Robotics.

We should not be surprised that China has many companies making robots as it is the largest market for robots, followed by Japan, and America third. This seems strange in a country with so much cheap labour compared to the rest of the world.

Peter Diamandis, a serial entrepreneur, futurist, technologist, and New York best-selling author, says that by 2026, we should have humanoid robots in private homes helping with laundry, vacuuming, and dishes, at least in beta testing. By 2040, there could be as many as 10 billion globally in all areas of the economy, and their labour might be as cheap as $10 a day.

In the future, they’ll be everywhere in our economy, Diamandis says: in healthcare, manufacturing, the service industry, public and urban spaces, transport, and even entertainment. This is such a transformational change that analysts don’t yet really understand how to estimate its value: Goldman Sachs says selling humanoid robots will be a $38 billion space by 2035, while Ark Invest says the resulting economic value of their labour could be as high as $24 trillion.

Judging by the debt levels of most governments in the Western world, they are out of control and unable to manage effectively. Imagine the impact of massive job losses due to companies replacing employees with robots. Currently, Amazon’s warehouses are already set to replace human workers with 100,000 robots. This is just one more reason governments will accept giving over governance to the Biblical prophesied one-world government. In September 2024, world leaders adopted the U.N. Pact for the Future, a landmark declaration pledging concrete actions towards a safer, more peaceful, sustainable and inclusive world for tomorrow’s generations. The Pact’s five broad focus areas include: sustainable development, international peace and security, science and technology, youth and future generations, and transforming global governance.

We are fast approaching the last seven years before Jesus returns first to rapture His church and then to pour out His wrath upon an unrepentant world. The speed with which end-times Biblical prophecies are being fulfilled is exciting and proof that the Bible is the inspired word of God.

WHAT DOES GOD HAVE IN MIND FOR YOU?

Posted on by

Biblical end-times prophecies are playing out in our day. There is a great falling away from the Word and faith exactly as prophesied. It is no coincidence you were born at this time. God has something for every believer to accomplish. However, it requires total commitment and constant vigilance. Essential are spiritual awareness and unwavering commitment to doing what he calls us to do.

Jonathan Cahn will challenge you to consider where we are in Biblical history and then what it means to you. He uses stories like Joseph to show how God can put us through tough times to prepare us for His use. God always extends an invitation to be used by Him. It is up to us whether we are prepared to give up our will and submit to His purpose for us. Where do you stand?

PROPHESIED END TIMES INVASION OF ISRAEL

Posted on by

In his new book, “The Dragon’s Prophecy,” Jonathan Cahn explores a Bible prophecy found in Ezekiel 38-39 that may reveal the mysteries of recent events and foretell future occurrences. “What the prophet foretold is actually coming true before our very eyes,” Cahn says. “We are crossing major prophetic lines in this very hour.”

Why does Cahn focus on Ezekiel 38-39?

Because “Ezekiel’s prophecy in chapters 38 and 39 says that in the latter days after Israel returns to the land, an invasion comes,” says Cahn.

“October 7, 2023, was the first mass invasion of Israel in half a century. If the nations cited in Ezekiel’s prophecy are to launch a future mass invasion of Israel, is it possible that they could be, in some way, connected to the invasion of October?” “And thus is it possible that the October invasion was a precursor to the fulfillment of Ezekiel’s prophecy?”

Cahn identifies the nations involved in the invasion: Kush (Sudan), Phut (Libya), and Persia (Iran), linking the current names of these countries to their ancient lands, along with several others. “Biblical Kush is the land of Sudan,” he states, highlighting Sudan’s role in arms smuggling to Hamas. He also connects Turkey to ancient nations, noting, “On October 7, Turkey was critical in providing the funds Hamas needed to arm itself and invade Israel.” He went on to emphasize Iran’s involvement in the attack stating: “In modern times, Paras is Iran… and their part in sponsoring and arming Hamas cannot be overstated.”

Commenting on the unprecedented nature of these events, Cahn states: “For ages, the prophecy puzzled Bible commentators… Yet two and a half thousand years later… all of the people or nations spoken of in the prophecy have become enemies of the Jewish state.”

He concludes that the prophecy’s fulfilment is still to come, stating, “The prophecy’s fulfilment is still to come. The road that leads there may be filled with turns, reversals, and departures. And the timing is in God’s hands.” “But on Oct. 7, 2023, for the first time ever, the nations cited in Ezekiel’s prophecy—those nations that were to be involved in a future mass invasion of Israel were indeed all involved in a mass invasion of Israel.”

“The signs of October 7 would thus indicate we are closer to the day of the prophecy’s fulfilment than we might have imagined.” Cahn warns of dark forces behind these conflicts, saying: “How did Hamas manage to obtain weapons despite a blockade?… It happened because of the shadow powers that funded and armed the terrorist organization.”

Throughout the book, Cahn underscores the connection between the October invasion and ancient prophecy: “Without the nations listed above, such as Persia, Phut, Kush, and many others, Hamas could never have launched its invasion… October 7 was made possible by the players specifically cited in Ezekiel 38 and 39.”

Cahn goes on to describe the invasion as a storm: “You will ascend, coming like a storm… So too, the invasion of Israel on Oct. 7 came upon the land suddenly, massively, and ferociously.” And this is exactly how this attack came about, just like a storm!

Highlighting a chilling parallel: the Arabic code name used for the October 7th invasion, “Tufan,” means flood or storm, aligning with the Hebrew word “shoah,” which also means devastation.

Cahn concludes that these connections point to a mysterious entity still at work today, making “The Dragon’s Prophecy” essential reading for Christians in these times.

THE GREAT COMMISSION PART TWO

Posted on by

Since Jesus gave His Great Commission many nations have been taken over and ruled by Christians with God’s Law and for His glory. When God told one man, Moses, to free His people from Egypt, the most powerful empire in the world, and set up a new nation with His Law, that must have seemed impossible (Ex. 3:10-12).

For Moses to be successful, God promised him only one thing – “I will be with you.” For us to be successful today, Jesus promised us the same one thing – “I am with you.” This is the only mandate Jesus gave us where He said, “I am with you.” Now the impossible becomes possible, actually inevitable… if we believe and obey like Moses did:

By faith these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them” Hebrews 11:33

The word “go”, in the Great Commission is in the continuous tense – “go and keep on going.” Jesus made clear He’s commanding this for every generation – “even to the end of the ages.”

Historically we see the Apostles eventually going to the four corners of the earth. Ethiopia and Armenia were some of the earliest nations to became Christian nations – ruled by Christian civil leaders and ruled under God’s Law. In time the whole Roman Empire, through Constantine the Great, threw out pagan law and replaced it with God’s Law. Previously persecuted Elders/Bishops became Constantine’s continual advisors and teachers – teaching God’s Law to Constantine, as Jesus commanded. 

When the United States was founded, most Americans were Christians, even those who did not fully embrace the Christian worldview. This was definitely true of all political leaders.

The United States became strong and also had oceans on each side protecting it. As a result, for the first time in world history, for generations Christian leaders in American no longer felt they needed to concern themselves with politics or civil leaders that might persecute them. Therefore, most spiritual leaders totally neglected applying the Bible for political leaders or civil government. But in the latter part of the 20th century, Christians in American for the first time began to see the consequences of their biblical civil neglect – reaping a growing number of anti-biblical laws. Also media, political leaders and educational institutions began targeting Christians..

After generations of God’s biblical civil mandate being ignored, most Christians today are Scripturally clueless of this. But I would ask, is Satan more powerful than God? Satan’s missionaries have Satanized nation after nation. Either the devil and his people rule Christians or Jesus and His people rule Christians and non-Christians. Which do you think God’s wants? There is NO third alternative.

Jim McCotter tells a great story about a communist student leader who came to know Christ. Soon afterwards he asked Jim, why are Christians not trying to take over the university’s daily newspaper? Not too long later, he and some of the other Christian students got control of the university’s daily newspaper! It was like a Christian revolution started. Over time thousands of students came to know Christ. But what was interesting was how this young former communist, soon after he became a Christian, had a more biblical vision of Christianizing the whole university and town than most traditional Christians ever thought of.

Jim has another story about another former communist who had become a Christian. But before being converted, he was the communist prime minister of Ethiopia in the 1990’s. After being head of state for five years, he began to question his communist way of thinking. When his fellow communists realized he was questioning communism, one night, they suddenly grabbed him and threw him in prison to never be seen again. After seven years in solitary confinement someone smuggled to him a small New Testament. He said that he had never seen a Bible before, nor ever heard the name of Jesus, nor ever met a Christian. However, when he soon read what Jesus said about Himself, he knew Jesus was who he was looking for all his life (John 14:6):

“Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Me.’”

For the next five years, day and night in solitary confinement, he said that he never stopped reading his little New Testament. He said, when he was a communist, with 20 others they established a 1,000 small communist cell groups in homes all over the cities, like New Testament house churches. He said, that’s how they were eventually able to take over Ethiopia at that time.

When he was no longer a threat to the new government, miraculously he got out of prison after 12 years in solitary confinement. He said, the first thing he wanted to do was find the Christians and join them, and like the New Testament to now help take Ethiopia for Christianity, like he had previously done for communism. He said, “But I was shocked when I met the Christian leaders… having no zeal or vision to take over our nation for Christ. And I was further shocked when I saw their enormous expensive church buildings and they did not even believe in NT house churches.” May God convict us today to be all out to follow His Word, for His cause and glory.

“By faith these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them” Hebrews 11:33

THE TRUTH OF BISHOP BUDDE’S SERMON TO TRUMP

Posted on by

Kaeley Harms, an adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse, has a visceral response to emotional manipulation. This is her response to Bishop Budde’s sermon to President Trump.

One needs only spend a few minutes familiarizing oneself with the entire body of Bishop Budde’s work to realise that what she was really asking for is not mercy but capitulation.  She wasn’t asking Trump to use softer words.  She was asking him to pump the brakes on necessary policy changes that would protect the greater good.

Jesus loves people. He loves you. He loves me. He loves illegal immigrants. He loves kids who are confused about their gender. His heart is merciful toward us. But loving every person does not mean He loves every idea or every action. Mercy doesn’t look like capitulating to ideologies that lead to harm. Mercy looks like intervening to stop the harm from happening, and it’s precisely that intervention that Bishop Budde was standing staunchly against in her speech. She framed the whole thing as love, of course, but the brand of love she was peddling wasn’t love at all, and that’s why it vexes me.

You should be able to step foot in a Christian church and find that the leaders are pointing you toward Jesus and the truth that can save.

Jesus says, “Come as you are,” not “Stay as you are.”  Faithful Christian leaders lovingly encourage their congregants to surrender their sins to Jesus and allow Him to transform them from the inside out. To be a Christian is to be willing to change. It means your identity is in Him, not your sexual preferences or rebellion against the material reality of your sex. But false leaders like Bishop Budde encounter this necessary shepherding and shout, “Have mercy! Don’t tell people they need to change! That’s hateful.” And in so doing, they circumvent the very repentance that could bring the healing we all claim to desire.

Budde’s speech perpetuated both the myth of the “transgender child” and the histrionic belief that children will die if we don’t indulge their delusion about their bodies. There’s no such thing as a transgender child. Mercy and compassion for kids who are confused about their sex looks like lovingly helping them make peace with the immutable nature of it. It does NOT look like forcing the rest of society to play make-believe with the cult ideology that’s harming them. The price tag here is just too high. Kids are not dying because we refuse to tell them lies about their bodies. The suggestion is preposterous and harmful.

Conservative political commentator Mark Steyn blasted Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde as “a tool of Satan” for pushing the idea of “transgender children” from the pulpit of the National Cathedral during her recent rebuke of President Donald Trump. There’s no such thing as a transgender kid,” Steyn said. “Some may think there is, and a confused 8-year-old boy or 11-year-old girl may think there is. But what it boils down to is you, the bishop, supporting slicing off the breasts of middle school girls. That makes you, the bishop, a tool of Satan. So you should be on a roasting spit in Hell for promoting that.”

Sadly, until very recently, the transgender movement has had all the institutional power. All of it. They’ve had a death grip on the entirety of mainstream media, big tech, big pharma, the medical industrial complex, academia, Hollywood elite, and, increasingly, of the now largely apostate church.

They have not been “powerless.”  Women have been powerless to stop them. How do you think female inmates raped by men in their prison cells feel when people who claim to be abuse survivor advocates defend their rapists in the name of God?

What does “mercy” look like to a physically castrated young man like Ritchie Herron who will never be a father because people like Bishop Budde encouraged the cult belief that they could be born in the wrong body? What does “mercy” look like to grieving parents whose children have committed suicide after the medical intervention experts promised what would make them happy failed to deliver?

I’m focused heavily on the trans element of Budde’s speech for obvious reasons: it’s been my soapbox for the past 10 years.  I’m so inundated with the stories of harm perpetrated by the gender cult that it keeps me up at night. 

GREAT COMMISSION PART ONE

Posted on by

After Jesus’s resurrection but before He ascended back to heaven, Jesus repeated His Great Commission five times. Christians are to reach cities, nations, and the world! Every Christian, not just church leaders, were tasked with the Great Commission.

“Go and make disciples of all the nations” (Matt.28:19).

  1. “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation” (Mark16:15).
  2. “Repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem” (Luke24:47).
  3. “As the Father has sent Me, so I am sending you” (John20:21).
  4. “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts1:8).

The first Great Commission verse in Matthew in its entirety is foundational and covers the most, so we will look at it.

“Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore, go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey all I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the very end of the age!’” Matthew 28:18-20

Let’s look at each point that Jesus said:

  1. “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.”

“ALL authority… on earth” certainly has to include all civil authority on earth in all nations. If you truly comprehend the first thing Jesus said here, we can stop right here. No one should need any more than this to see Jesus’s Great Commission is a civil mandate for all nations on earth.

The words “all authority” are also translated as “all power.” And you don’t need ALL power or ALL authority on earth to be able to disciple a few Christians! But you definitely do need all power and authority on earth to be able to do what Jesus then commands us.

  1. “Therefore, go and teach all nations.”

“Nations” are by definition: “A group of people led by the same civil government.” Nations are NOT a group of churches or a group of disciples. Nations are civil governments. Therefore, this is Jesus’s civil mandate, to go and teach all nations, exactly as the verse says. The rest of the Great Commission Jesus tells us exactly how to successfully accomplish His civil mandate.

  1. “Baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

Contrary to what many assume, this sentence is NOT referring to water baptism for the New Covenant Believers, for a lot of reasons:

  • First, the context of the verse right before has no basis for being that.
  • Second, the pronoun in “baptizing them”, has to refer to a noun in the previous sentence. And in the previous sentence and according to the literal Greek, there is only one noun, and it is the word – “NATIONS”.
  • Third, but how do you baptize nations? In the Greek language, the word “baptize” is more often used in other ways than water baptism. It was used – “to immerse, to wash, to cleanse and even to overwhelm.” In fact, most of the time in the NT this word is NEVER used for water baptism new believers. For example, Matt. 3:11: Baptism of the Holy Spirit, Matt. 3:11: Baptism of fire, Matt. 28:19: Baptism of nations, Mark 7:4: Baptism of food, Mark 7:4: Baptism of cups, Mark 7:4: Baptism of pots, Luke 3:3: Baptism of repentance, Luke 7:29: Baptism of John, Luke 12:50: Baptism of suffering, Rom. 6:3: Baptized into Christ Jesus, 1 Cor. 10:2: Baptized into Moses, 1 Cor. 12:13: Baptized into one body, 1 Cor. 15:29: Baptized for the dead, Gal. 3:27: Baptized into Christ.
  • The ONLY time water baptism for New Covenant Believers was ever referred to in the New Testament was after Pentecost in the book of Acts. Moreover, every time it was used there for new Believers, the phrase – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – was NEVER said. The Book of Acts actually records what was said, and this is what was said every time: Acts 2:38: “baptized in the name of Jesus Christ”, Acts 8:16: “baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus”, Acts 10:48: “baptized in the name of Jesus Christ”, Acts 19:5: “baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus”

Contrary to what some may think, Jesus’s Great Commission was not talking about water baptism of New Covenant Believers, but rather to cleanse and overwhelm “all the nations” with the teaching and authority of the whole God-Head – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. So how then did Jesus tell them to cleanse and overwhelm all nations?

  1. “Teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”

Jesus did not say, teaching them to “to know all” but “to obey all.” That is exactly what is required for all civil law – “to obey all” that Jesus commanded. One of the first things Jesus commanded was to “do and teach” all God’s Law in His “Sermon on the Mount” (Mat. 5:17-19).

  1. “And behold, I am with you always, to the very end of the age!”

BEHOLD! The end of the age has not yet come — so God’s new Jesus Family today can and is to still carry out Jesus’s Great Commission – His national civil mandate!

BEHOLD! Jesus is with us today — to carry out His national mandate!

“Therefore, go and teach all nations… And behold, I am with you always, to the very end of the age!’”

To practically go and teach any nation, which by definition is civil government, and to obey all that Jesus has commanded may seem impossible. But Jesus said:

“With God all things are possible!” Matthew 19:26

In the next post, we will look at how successful Christians have been with the task they have been given – The Great Commission.

BUDDE KNOWS FROM SCRIPTURE SHE CANNOT BE BISHOP OF GODS CHURCH

Posted on by

A female bishop, Mariann Budde, delivers a fiery rebuke to President Donald Trump, blending scripture with many hot topics. But does her interpretation hold up? In this video, Living Waters examines her claims through the lens of scripture and discusses why the Bible is clear on the role of women in teaching authority. Watch at the end to see Donald Trump’s response to her combative sermon.
