“The rich rule over the poor, and the
borrower is servant to the lender.” (Proverbs 22:7) This immutable principle
has provided the means by which the world elite, who control the monetary and
banking systems of the United States and virtually the entire world, have
enslaved the people.

The Kennedy Assassination
After
a day of observing the memorials and main stream media spin on one of the most
significant events in American history, it led me to a point where I was almost
ready to abandon the idea of writing this blog.

The 9/11 False Flag
Before
exposing through evidentiary commentary on the 9/11 alleged “terrorist attacks”
an accurate definition of the term false flag is necessary.

The Philadelphia Church
In the continuing pursuit of truth we
will inevitably always come back to, “thus says the Lord”. Everything we need to know to live life and
fulfill our purpose for being is found in the Word of God. We are each one in need of continuing
instruction and exhortation that we might find and learn to walk in truth. The
One who is the source of our existence has laid out a very great and eternal
plan for us. Life must become a process
of discovery and adjustment to fulfill our purpose for being, and for us to
enter into the reality if His plan and purpose.
Our ongoing considerations have
centered on the prophetic portions of Scripture and in a particular way the
content of the Biblical books of Daniel and Revelation. These
Prophets and the Revelation was written for the purpose of throwing new
light on the pathway that lies ahead in the consummation of this age and the
final judgments which are most certainly to be executed. The foundation for our understanding of these
truths is concealed, but also revealed therein is the Person who is the
embodiment of all truth. The truth is then to be found in the revelation of the
Person, Jesus Christ. It is within His
purpose to reveal those concealed truths to and through a company of believing
people who are designated and defined as the ekklesia (a calling out), or the
Church. Regrettably, much if not most of what was intended to shine forth from
that enlightened company of believers, has been marred and distorted, “being tossed to and fro and carried about
with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness
whereby they lie in wait to deceive.” (Ephesians 4:14)
Seven of these local assemblies of
believers are addressed by the Lord through the agency of the Holy Spirit in
Revelation, chapters two and three. Seven
is a representative number expressing fullness so what we would see is that
these assemblies are a representation of the spiritual condition of the Church
to be found throughout the age even unto its consummation at the end. We have previously focused on some of the
spiritual deficiencies and departures from the truth as found within these
local assemblies. Notably reviewed have been the doctrine of the Nicolaitans
and the doctrine of Balaam (the churches at Ephesus and Pergamos), which we
will not pursue further in this context.
The focus here will be on a much more positive testimony as found in the
church at Philadelphia. The church at
Philadelphia is addressed at Revelation 3:7-15.
Philadelphia is a composite of two
words in the Greek. It literally means
“love of brethren”. Love is that which
is found to be the ultimate fulfillment of the law and can only find its full
expression from a heart, which has been purified. “Now the end of the commandment
is charity (love) out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience and faith
unfeigned”. (I Timothy 1:5) Noted as
concerning the church at Ephesus it was “because
thou hast left thy first love” that they were found to be in need of
repentance. (Revelation 2:5) Prophetically speaking, there will emerge
and be realized out of the larger body of those designated as the Church a much
smaller company which will be measured and not found to be wanting. These are typified by the church at
Philadelphia and have always been found through the ages as a small and
faithful remnant who, “Because thou hast kept the word of my
patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come
upon the world, to try them that are on the earth….He that overcomes will I
make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out, and I will
write on him the name of my God…” (Revelation
3: 10-12 and context)
The truth of the existence of this
remnant can be found in the context of Revelation 12:1-5. There we see the woman (the larger body of the
church) is found to be in the travail of birth and the dragon (Satan) seeks to
devour her child as soon as it is born. “And she brought forth a man child who was to
rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up to God and to
his throne.” (Revelation 12:5) The exegesis of this truth remains hidden in
today’s apostate church. But, it will
become manifest and realized as we approach the soon coming end of the age. Within the Scriptures are concealed some
things which are hard to be understood. That
which is embodied and typified in the church at Philadelphia will be made
manifest as an overcoming remnant which will be kept from the hour of
temptation; i.e., the great tribulation which is to come upon all of the earth.
These things along with many other
truths are revealed in the Revelation and other prophetic portions, and can be
found in the recent title: These Prophets and the Revelation (Mindstir
Media, 2013) available at Amazon.com.
