The year: 2010. The place: every where you look. Let's face it; the time's we are living in are a testament to the veracity of the Bibles teaching. But then, throughout past generations it was thought that bible prophecy was coming true before their very eyes. During WWI and II, certain religious groups cited that Armageddon was at hand; but when it proved not to be the end of the world, they retracted their statement.
     More recently another religious group thought that Armageddon was happening and locked themselves up in their mountain retreat. Needless to say they later realized their error and left the retreat and many left the church who's "Leader" was seen to be a false prophet.   
      And then there is the most infamous of the end time fanatics, those that thought that a space ship was coming in on the tail of Hailey's Comet, and they all committed suicide wearing brand new shoes and carrying a roll of quarters to pay for their spiritual passage.
     Are we indeed in our end times as prophesied? In my opinion, we are. In Europe they have already started putting chips in the wrists of the people for ease of processing identification and what have you. Soon it will be done over here. The chip, the so called "Guardian Angel" is already in production. I believe it will be implemented some day not too far in the future. At a time that "Government" can use it without the predicted outcry from the population of "Christians".
     In the news today is the talk of a global crisis of recession possibly turning into a depression? Countries are forming allies to fight this world epidemic. Retailers are offering huge discounts and still losing the battle for gaining your hard earned money. And yet everyone and his or her uncle are driving a brand new name brand car, and spending money like it was coming from their very own mint.
     I live in San Diego California and it looks like it is fast approaching the Title of: "Sin Capital U.S.A.". The churches are increasing their outreach programs of clothing and feeding the poor. Everybody seems to be worried about the times. Saying, the government's stimulus checks didn't work.

So what's a person to do? I know of only one solution . . . find God! With that solution in its proper understanding, the crisis will still happen but it can be diverted away from the Christian family that finds, the unity of the faith is also a unity of strength when acted on with good leadership.
     Do you remember the evangelist Jimmy Baker? He had built a city that was supposed to be the place for Christian unity. It didn't work very well because they didn't have the knowledge of the Son, and when Mr. Baker went to prison, and his deviant sexual life style became known, his church city lost it's momentum. Which is a good thing because it would have only caused the name of Christ to become dishonored as it became news worthy. It wouldn't have worked because they did not know: "The Way" which is needed for any such undertaking to work. And I dare say that even if Mr. Baker WAS right on the money with his doctrine teaching, the populace would still have considered him a "leper" because of his sexual lifestyle. Though in today’s world he might have been more readily accepted, as homosexuality is making progress in becoming mainstream. Ideally the only place where everything will work is in Heaven, but that does not mean that we can't strive towards this utopian ideal now before the return of Jesus; remember the Lord's prayer . . . " . . . on earth as it is in heaven." Those words mean that we can in fact increase our living here and now to be more in line with what it will be like then and there. All that is needed is a true understanding of the doctrine of God and the people that are sincere about living it.

To find the people that are sincere in living it seems to be an easy task but it actually isn't. In a recent Science of the Mind journal there was a story published by a research team that learned that the odds of any person changing their already held beliefs, even if you can prove them wrong, is 9 to 1 against you; Which is probably why Paul wrote in the book of Romans that he would rather preach Christ where he has never been heard of . . . and that this was probably a reason for him being hindered in his travels.
     Obviously as a conscientious teacher he couldn't share The Way of God and leave to go elsewhere unless the people he gave the teaching to showed some acceptance of the understanding in the message. Where are the "Meek" in Christ? Meek meaning teachable, I can't find them and every church I go to doesn't want to hear any new message of understanding. And they tell their congregations not to have any thing to do with any other teachers that teach a message other than the one they have already accepted. Granted that is a verse in the bible, but it's talking about the doctrine of God which "I" as a teacher of this "Hidden Wisdom" have seen that the churches don't really know it or teach it. But the damage is done; the sincere seekers of the truth have been hobbled before they even have a chance to hear the True message of wisdom.

So what does all of this mean? It means that the troubled times soon to come, known as the tribulation period will catch many true believers off guard and unprepared for the times; because not only have they closed there ears to the truth they have also accepted the lies taught in the churches, in which the biggest one is of the pre-tribulation rapture. There isn't one. But most Christians have accepted that there is because they have accepted the teaching of their preachers and pastors.
     The time is getting shorter and shorter my brothers and sisters in Christ; You NEED to hear the truth of the gospel message and then you NEED to join together and take the necessary steps to prepare for these tribulation times that the bible says that none would survive if the Lord did not shorten them. As it is two thirds of the world population will die. Will you be one? You just might because you just might have accepted a lie of salvation rather than received the true salvation, that, "Our spirit bears witness to the indwelling of the spirit of God." Have you ever asked yourself "How do I know I am saved?" "What is faith?" "What do I do, now that I'm saved?" If you have ever asked these questions of yourself then you are a prime candidate for hearing the doctrine of God as given by a true teaching prophet. Prophets are for believers! At least that is what it says in I Cor. Chapter 14. Don't listen to those churches that tell you prophets no longer exist because we now have the canonized Bible, a more sure word of prophecy . . . yes it is a more sure word of prophecy but the prophets that are given are given to help us to understand that word of the Bible. I can testify that the churches of today are teaching in error of true understanding in the gospel. For I have the gift of prophecy and have for the past 28 years I have been learning the message of the Holy Spirit and I have seen with my own eyes the failure of the churches to teach the true message of the gospel. But that is as it is suppose to be!!! In the book of Isa.30:20-26 I believe that the word of God is telling us that THE TEACHERS have been kept hidden and are to come out into the open only in these end-times. The reason for this is clearly because the spirit of God's salvation is easier to receive than the understanding of discipleship. The great commission was 'go and make disciples of all nations;' but the churches have gone and made converts instead. Because of this, and please understand, God has winked at this misconception because the making of converts has allowed the gospel to be spread reaching further, in the short time that's been given, than the word would have spread if we had to diligently make disciples first. That takes time and satan would have quickly destroyed the few disciples that there would have been. But there are too many converts for him to do that to, and so the word of God is able to reach the whole world. This has been exampled in the bible where Paul says: 'all have left him and no one stands by his side.' This has also been exampled by the great Chinese teacher Confucius. When he died only his son and one protégé lived to carry on his teachings and when they died there was no one. And, his teachings have been changed. Yet they are making a comeback in China. Having said all of this, I reiterate: the solution begins in finding God. Perhaps you will write to the editor of this publication and request that I write another article that shows you what the solution is and how we accomplish it. If you don't then I'm sorry to say that you will just . . . well let's just leave it at that, you can get the teaching of a teaching prophet of which I am one, or forever hold your peace.

In Him, J.J.
