No Sympathy for the devil - interpreted


The Word of the LORD, "With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches" - Ezekiel 28:4-5.

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

Ezekiel 28:13-14  "Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire."

Genesis 3:15  "And I will put enmity between thee (satan) and the woman, and between thy seed (cain - kenites) and her seed (Abel - CHRIST); it shall bruise thy head (satan), and thou shalt bruise his heel (CHRIST)."

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain

Matthew 27:46  "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" That is to say, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?"


JESUS CHRIST was teaching, and here, quoting the first verse from Psalm 22, even while on the cross, dying for our sins.  "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art Thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?" (Psalm 22) This was penned by David a thousand years before the crucifixion.


Psalm 22:1  To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. "My GOD, my GOD, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?"

Psalm 22:13  "They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion."
Psalm 22:14  "I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels."
Psalm 22:15  "My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and Thou hast brought me into the dust of death."
Psalm 22:16  "For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet."
Psalm 22:17  "I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me."
Psalm 22:18  "They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture."
Psalm 22:19  "But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me."

Psalm 22:30  "A seed shall serve Him; it shall be accounted to the LORD for a generation."
Psalm 22:31  "They shall come, and shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done this [ For It is finished]."

John 19:30  "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished: and He bowed his head, and gave up the ghost [Spirit]."


Our Savior was teaching this Psalm while being crucified, with His blood flowing out of His veins, making payment for our sins. Prophecy fulfilled.  Does it register in your mind that CHRIST died for you?  We're not just talking physically, because spiritually, He took on the sins of the world, so that the world through Him might be saved.  That is the most awesome thing anyone can do for us.  If you're only imagining the tremendous, and I mean tremendous, physical pain and suffering CHRIST endured, you've only got it half right.  He endured all of this physically, but also on a spiritual level, He paid the price for your sins in full!  You and I are both sinners... for us to be forgiven of the debt and to inherit eternal life... someone must die in our place.  Think spiritually.  That person must be perfect and without blemish, the perfect sacrifice, for one and all time.  No one is worthy to fill that spot but JESUS CHRIST.  Prophecy fulfilled.


Matthew 21:21  "Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done."

John 8:29  "And He That sent Me is with Me: the FATHER hath not left Me alone; for I do always those things that please Him."


JESUS never doubted.  He was teaching, even on the cross.

Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Matthew 27:24  "When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it."

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
       
Bolshevik kenites murder Russian Imperial family.

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

WWI - The Balfour Declaration.

Thus the view from Whitehall early in 1916: If defeat was not imminent, neither was victory; and the outcome of the war of attrition on the Western Front could not be predicted. The colossal forces in a death-grip across Europe and in Eurasia appeared to have canceled each other out. Only the addition of significant new forces on one side or the other seemed likely to tip the scale. Britain's willingness, beginning early in 1916, to explore seriously some kind of arrangement with "world Jewry" or "Great Jewry" must be understood in this context (Schneer).

WWII - Kenite led boycott of German goods.

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee

Ezekiel 28:7-9  "Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas. Wilt thou yet say before Him That slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of Him That slayeth thee."


Satan is a walking cedar box, that is, he is already sentenced to death.  Like father, like son, his children are full of pride due to their ability to gain worldly riches.  The "strangers" are the men and women of GOD that stand and testify against satan and his world system.  The "sword" is the WORD of GOD.  


Hebrews 4:12  "For the Word of GOD is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."


The elect of GOD have a destiny to stand against satan and his one world system.


Ezekiel 28:19  "All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more."


No sympathy for the devil.  He has no compassion and no mercy whatsoever.  No more glee for satan... his days are numbered.

While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

Known as the Hundred Years' Wars - 1 England and France - 2 Palestine

I shouted out,
Who killed the Kennedys?

 The "Fed" in Federal Reserve is not federal, neither is the "Fed" in Federal Express.

When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails

Isaiah 5:20  "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"

Isaiah 29:16  "Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?"

Just call me Lucifer
Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah

Isaiah 14:12-17  "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?"

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame


Peace in CHRIST JESUS,
Spread-the-Truth
Mr baptist.

JFK Speech

"The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know."

"For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence - on infiltration, instead of invasion; on subversion, instead of elections; on intimidation, instead of free choice; on guerrillas by night, instead of armies by day.  It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.  Its preparations are concealed, not published.  Its mistakes are buried, not headlined.  Its dissenters are silenced, not praised.  No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.  It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match." - JFK

Shepherd's Chapel


The Shepherd's Chapel is a church that broadcast a chapter by chapter, verse by verse, bible study by Pastor Arnold Murray in a 1 hour time format.

A quick search on the internet on "Pastor Arnold Murray" will show this church's website as the first result (http://www.shepherdschapel.com/index.htm).  Following that are many results for pages that discount this pastor.  Here are a few:

http://carm.org/who-arnold-murray
"I recommend that you stay far away from this man and the Shepherd's Chapel."

http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/arnoldmurray.html
"Most of Arnold Murray's heretical teaching comes from a subtle misinterpreting of Scripture."

http://www.letusreason.org/poptea4.htm
"The message Arnold Murray is spreading is unfortunately a mixture and can be lethal to one's spiritual life"

http://www.mikeschristiancorner.com/murray.html
"First and foremost, this makes Arnold Murray a false prophet"

http://unsettledchristianity.com/2008/08/arnold-murray-secret-identity
"Stringini knows he’s not alone among former Shepherd’s Chapel students who left in disgust over Murray’s Serpent Seed theology."

These websites, along with many YouTube videos, critique Murray's bible study broadcasts by claiming he is teaching false and misleading "doctrines" and even suggest that Shepherd's Chapel is a cult.

It is safe to say that the majority of churches and Christians believe Murray's bible study does not align well with them insomuch that there is a considerable amount of critiquing content on the internet.

One must wonder why there is so much content on the internet opposed to this church that is generally unheard of in the mainstream Christian community:

For what purpose does it serve to warn fellow Christians to stay away from a bible study that goes over the bible chapter by chapter verse by verse?

Are there even any other bible study or church broadcasts that do this?

Are there even any churches and pastors that read the bible chapter by chapter and verse by verse to their attendees?

What would happen to these churches if we Christians make reading the bible to us chapter by chapter, verse by verse, a criteria for us to go to that church?

Why don't we make reading the bible chapter by chapter and verse by verse a criteria for being part of a church.

Does this describe Shepherd's Chapel?:
Romans 16:16-18
16 Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.
17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

Many are deceived. Are the people who study the bible chapter by chapter, verse by verse, with Murray deceived?
Matthew 24:5
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Matthew 24:23-24
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

I don't know about you, but I find it very difficult to read the bible chapter by chapter, verse by verse, and equally difficult listening to someone else read it to me let alone any provided interpretations.  Thank God it is much easier to listen to a pastor talk about something else or reading a handbook in bible study, phew!

What happens to the soul after death?

Do you wonder what happens to the soul after death - for the faithful and ungodly?

2 ESDRAS 7

76 And He answered me and said, "I will show you that also; but you must not associate with those who have shown scorn, or count yourself among those who are tortured.

77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High, but it will not be shown to you until the last times.

78 For about death, the teaching is: When the final sentence goes forth from the Most High that a man is to die, when the soul departs from the body to return to Him who gave it, first of all it prays to the glory of the Most High;

81 The first way is that they have scorned the Law of the Most High.

82 The second way is that they can no longer make a good repentance, so that they may live.

83 The third way is that they will see the reward destined for those who have believed the agreements of the Most High.

84 The fourth way is that they will consider the torment destined for them in the last days.

85 The fifth way is that they will see that the dwelling-places of the others are guarded by angels in profound silence.

86 The sixth way is that they will see that some of them will pass over to be tormented henceforth.

87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, is that they will waste away in shame and be consumed in disgrace, and whither with fear, at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they they sinned while they lived, and before whom they are destined to be judged in the last times.

90 Therefore this is the teaching about them:

91 First of all, they see with great rapture the glory of Him who takes them up, for they will rest in seven orders.

92 The first order is that they have striven with much toil to conquer the wicked thought that was formed with them, so that it should not lead them from life to death.

93 The second order is that they see the labyrinth in which the souls of the ungodly wander, and the punishment that waits them.

94 The third order is that they see the testimony that He who formed them has borne to them, because they were alive and faithfully observed the Law which was given them.

101 "They have freedom for seven days, to see on the seven days the things you have been told, and afterward they will be gathered in their dwellings."

95 The fourth order is that they understand the rest which they now enjoy, gathered in their chambers, in great quietness, watched over by angels, and the glory that awaits them in the last days.

96 The fifth order is that they exult that they have now escaped what is corruptible and will possess the future as their inheritance, and besides perceive the narrowness and toilsomeness from which they have been freed and the spaciousness they are destined to receive and enjoy in immortality.

97 The sixth order is that it is shown to them how their face is destined to shine like the sun, and how they are made like the light of the stars, and be incorruptible thence forth.

98 The seventh order, which is greater than all those that have been mentioned, is that they will exult boldly, and that they will trust confidently, and rejoice fearlessly, for they hasten to see the face of Him whom they served in life, and from Whom they are to receive their reward when they are glorified.

99 These are the orders of the souls of the upright, as henceforth proclaimed, and the above ways of torture are those who would not give heed will henceforth suffer.”

Are we watching for the 6th Seal?

(guest post by Character Victory)

From the time of first becoming a student of the bible till today, the world's landscape has changed drastically.  Though much of the world was in poverty and some parts were suffering from little wars and injustices, the western world for the most part was still prosperous and with hope.  Today however we can't really say that, the tides of darkness seem to be at our feet from all directions.  What can we do in such dark times? Pray and read the Word of Yahweh...

DISCLAIMER: I'm not a preacher I'm just noting that back when I first read revelations I had a better chance of understanding a Chinese comic book story than the Book of Revelations.  However today, some of this book is actually starting to make sense, no pictures needed...

The Seals: 1-6 KJV

The 1st Seal - Rev 6.1 - 6.2
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

Most of this world has been conquered though monetary and international policies.  Governments and been installed and uninstalled in the third world and larger powers are all assimilated into one.

The 2nd Seal - Rev 6.3 - 6.4
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

There has definitely been war since 9/11 and hasn't really let up much.  No peace:  power definitely seems to have been given and even used a bit.

The 3rd Seal - Rev 6.5 - 6.6
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

A penny in scripture is a day's wage.  A measure of wheat or a 3 measures of barely is a days worth of food.  Yes, even in this great country, most of us are living paycheck to paycheck.  "Hurt not the oil and the wine" - that is the 1% and they are definitely not hurting.

The 4th Seal - Rev 6.7 - 6.8
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Not sure where (or when) the fourth part of the earth is but the power is there for whereever or whenever the fourth part of the earth is.  Millions of people have already died at the hand of war, hunger, death?, and beasts (govt's?) .  All in all, it is not outrageous to say that power has been given unto them to do all that.

The 5th Seal - Rev 6.9 - 6.11
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

This is the part that is still unknown to me and not clearly revealed hence the title of this post.  Is this the signs of times or not?  At this point I do not know but when the 6th seal opens it should be awfully clear:

The 6th Seal - Rev 6.13 - 6.17  
 12And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

No big enough of an earthquake has occurred to fit this description but if you just take a look at the earth's climate and geological changes, its not illogical to think something is going to pop soon.  Tectonic and volcanic activity has risen.  You might think that just more information is available but I remember back in the days we had like one major earthquake every year or two max.  Now its like every month or even week or two.  Also, there are bunkers built in the mountains in every country private folks have even taken it upon themselves to buy and modify silos or build their own bunkers.

The only thing clear is that there are signs of this going on now and this chapter makes a lot more sense today than it did before.
