The 'Alpha and the
Oemga.' 'I am the Alpha and the Omega.' Jesus said. The first and the last.' 'The
beginning and end of all things.'
The Church interprets this statement of Jesus to mean that the Holy Trinity, the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit, has always been God. Jesus did not suddenly begin to exist in Mary's womb or the stable there. In the New Testament, after Jesus' resurrection,
the apostles explain Jesus the Messiah as
'having become human'. ( using their exact words). He was conceived in the virgin Mary's womb by a miracle of the Holy Spirit, and was born in a stable.
Jesus is God's son,
he is God. The Holy Trinity are one.
Jesus' spiritual innocence and purity are
perfect. He is the
'bright morning star.' He experienced childhood in human form and went on to experience adulthood in human form. His Spirit is the Holy Spirit, and always has been.
Here the prophet Isaiah.
New American Standard BibleFor a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.'
Set to music.The Old Testament scriptures, the living word of God, contain God's commandments.
Jesus, the living word of God, emphasised compassion for others, loving the Lord God with all your heart, soul and mind, and your neighbour as yourself. This gospel is his. He demonstrated his genuine love for mankind in all his acts, including fulfilling scriptures that prophesied that sinless, he would go to the cross for us and take the penalty for sin that we might repent, put our faith in him, be acceptable to God, and have eternal life.
No other spiritual leader on earth has done anything like this. None have been sinless. ( Many Christian leaders do their best to follow in Jesus' footsteps and lead them on in Christ.)
Leaders of all false religions are sinners who demonstrate self adulation motives. Often political motives.
The dialogue the Lord Jesus gave his disciples at the last supper, given that he knew what was directly to come, evidences his perfect innocence. As does everything in the Old testament, everything else he did on earth, everything he continues to do following his resurrection.

Any attempt to adapt or negate Jesus and his teachings is a hollow sham. A counterfeit.
It is eing considered that this world is edging towards a 'New world religion' ( a false religion) that will support the announced 'New world order', in fulfillment of biblical prophecy.
This proposed new 'world religion', currently dominant in the West, consists of an elaborate humanism, a 'we, the people, have it within us to solve answer to the world's problems if only we all get together' ( an ethos that has often been exploited by dictators for political purposes) and a coming together of an apparent selection of teachings from religions that the God of the bible, the Lord, rejects entirely.
The emerging 'New World religion helps itself to some of Jesus' teaching without acknowledging him. ( Many false religions do this.) His instruction to show kindness and compassion in particular. It also suggests that 'mankind's common humanity' can be perfected if everyone gets together and ignores the full bible scriptures and Jesus.
This 'New World Religion' invites people to indulge in hollow self glorifying; it's a deception. In the light of thousands of years of human history, people are being invited to buy into the notion that they may by sheer effort of will emerge as love-filled sinless wonders and a solution to world problems. They are being told they do not need Christ.
The emerging 'new world religion' sets itself up as a 'more plausible solution' to human problems than the essential matter of man's need for repentance and the fact that Jesus went to the cross.
In an earlier post we looked at how the bible shows that one of
satan's tricks is to put his false and deceptive ideas forward as a 'solution' to the problems he instigates.
The emergent 'New world religion' is an attempt to set a thesis and a religion up above Christ. Not one of these advocates of the 'new world religion' would lay down their lives for you.
Jesus did.
It is being given a fancy name, this 'new world religion': 'the golden rule.' An outline of one interpretation here. It is being promoted everywhere.
Here it is, the new 'world religion ethic', introduced by a woman who displays an angry vent, clothed in intellectualism.
She starts out with an attack; on 'fundamentalism'.
For anyone who knows Christ, 'fundamentalism' in respect of belief in the Holy Scriptures is not an aggressive word at all; it is simple belief in Jesus and respect for his beautiful Holy Spirit, it is belief in the full scriptures. The woman introducing the video above falsely betrays Jesus as an 'aggressive warmonger like the rest'. False. Jesus is Prince of Peace, Lord of correct judgement, with all the power of the Holy Spirit at his disposal. She goes on to recommend that compassion should be applied, but that Jesus should not be respected and believed in: that's too 'fundamental,' she suggests.
A deluded group then go on to pontificate about the concept of faith and promote their essential 'golden rule' which they elevate to deistic status.
Elsewhere you can see the 'new world faith' emerging in all its forms; various 'campaigns against extremism' incorporate a snide attack on full belief in Jesus the Messiah. There is nothing 'extremist' about faith in Jesus, who is 'Prince of Peace'.
Jesus is the 'author and perfecter of our faith' as Christians. He is the Messiah. The 'first and the last and the beginning and end of all things'.
The emerging 'new world faith/religion' that people are being asked to participate in promotes the philosophy of 'god in self'. It's nothing to do with having the Holy Spirit within as a gift from Jesus Christ in response to repentance and belief in him as Lord and saviour. Mankind are not sinners, the emerging 'new world religion' suggests; not children of the fall of Adam and Eve at all. It suggests that Satan never tempted us, and we never fell short of the glory of God. It proposes that 'Mankind is something of a warm, golden glow, if only everyone could somehow 'blend as one' and tap into one another's resources'. Men and women are 'gods in the making' who don't need salvation, it suggests. It encourages spiritual pride, it's antichrist.
It's main proponent is Barack Hussein Obama, who is looked to as its representative. He is being hailed a 'modern saviour' all over the place. 'An enlightened being.'
The scriptures advise that God's enemy satan is very adept at deceiving people into 'worshiping foreign gods' , and has spent thousands of years doing it. According to the bible, all 'worship of foreign gods' is worship of satan.
Scriptures advise on the spiritual origin of the emerging 'new world religion'. Christians everywhere are suggesting that it's 'satanic counterfeit.' It is.
The scriptures explain satan's defeat at the cross of Jesus Christ as follows: ( here's one scripture)
Hebrews 2:14-15 tells us: “Since then the children [that’s us, the children of God] share in flesh and blood [that is, we have physical bodies], He Himself [Jesus] likewise also partook of the same [a physical body], that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil; and might deliver those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives” .
A command to satan to cease his activity 'in the name of Jesus' spoken by a born again Christian believer who loves Christ is what satan recognizes as his defeat in any given situation.
People from all religions are running to subscribe to the 'new world religion' ethos, afraid of looking as if they're not part of some sort of 'golden glow.' It's very vain.
The only people who won't have it, are 'fundamental Christians' (born again Christians who fully believe the whole bible) who wont sell out to anyone or any other faith. (Some professed Christians have sold out to the 'New world religion'; in doing so, they demonstrate they never knew or respected Jesus in the first place). The reason Christians who know Jesus won't sell out to anyone or any other faith is that they're born again, they know the Lord's love, they love the Lord Jesus. Jesus and his the Holy Spirit are essential their lives and they know the Holy Trinity is priceless. No one who's received the Lord's spirit will have anything to do with this 'New world religion'.
"Jesus said to her, "Every one who drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst; the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." (John 4:13-14 RSV)
"On the last day of the Feast, the great day [i.e. the 8th day of The Feast Of Tabernacles], Jesus cried out and said, "If any one thirst, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, 'Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.'" (John 7:37-39 RSV)
The righteous Old Testament Israelites (King Solomon, to name one) in the days of the Old Testament prophets refused to sell out.
The Heavenly Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, are not exchangeable for anything. Not to those who love the Lord. It's not negotiable.
It may be that under Barack Hussein Obama, Islam turns out to be a major component of this new, developing 'World Religion' under debate. Americans attempt to incorporate the Islamic traditions and ethos into into the emerging new religion.
People from all faiths except serious Christian faith are showing a willingness to subscribe to a 'new world faith' ethos, including many Muslims and Jews.
Currently extreme Arab and Islam terrorist elements ( Al Qaida ) act as if they won't adapt for anyone; then again, their strict religion, so called, has never been anything but a pretext excuse for violence. Under Barack Obama they may be prepared to deal in many ways in exchange for a promise from him to move in on Israel, including merging into a new religion.
Barack Obama has been proposing a 'Civilian National Security force.'
'Obama Youths', here, brainwashed to a significant extent, apparently in the military, ( military youth, a youth group, or some sort of 'behaviour correctional boot camp'?) swear allegiance to Obama and call him 'The Alpha and the Omega.' This is absolute blasphemy. Here, the words of Jesus of the book of Revelation, 'I am the Alpha and the Omega.'
Here, Obama was responding to suggestions that 'his record runs counter to Jesus' teachings', and the question of youth training he's seen and supervised in the past.
Mr.
Keyes' comment, shown on the video above is totally inappropriate ( the suggestion that Jesus would 'vote in an election') and Obama shrewdly observed it. Straight away. Mr.
Keyes apparently does not apologize for it. He makes some interesting points, be careful though, the guy's a politician
as well.
Barack Obama states that his (purported) Christian faith 'not absolute.' And there are other statements. If you look closely he is in fact saying that Jesus is not King of Kings and not the absolute answer for our souls. It's very smooth, his attitude. He exposes himself from the outset though: saying
'If I had the opportunity to talk to Jesus Christ, I would ask him..etc.'
Every human person who
puts their faith in Christ has the opportunity to talk to Jesus Christ. And it is not too late for anyone alive on earth to put their faith in him and speak with him. Ever. That's the miracle of the love of Jesus who died on the cross for us. It is never inappropriate for Christian believers to repent of their sins ; on the contrary, confession and repentance of sin are an essential part of a believer's life.
Barack Obama states that he went to Church for twenty years, ( it was a highly controversial and unusual one) and presumably he has come across teaching from a wide variety of Churches. Of course he has. And he states that he has read the bible. He never heard that a person can pray and talk to the Lord Jesus Christ?
Refusing to
judge individuals who are caught in other faiths contrary to Christ ( and the Lord Jesus tells us
not to judge anyone, a serious commandment that people seem to be forgetting all over the place) is one thing. Refusing to denounce a false Messiah is quite another.
Will Barack Obama denounce
this song ? I don't think he will.
Have you noticed how Barack really struggles with pride/humility issues
whenever he makes a pretence to Christian faith? He really slips up here.
He says he's ' very proud of his Christian faith'. (Say what?)
True Christians are not 'proud of their own faith', no. No. We are ever grateful that the Lord Jesus has saved us, we love him for giving us the opportunity to be in his Kingdom, and for his endless mercy and forgiveness, surely.
Jesus Christ, perfect in wisdom and humility, is the author and perfecter of our faith. Not us.
A scripture on Jesus' humility: 'But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.' ( Christian author C.S Lewis points out that the first temptation satan usually offers a new Christian is the idea that he's done the Lord some big favour in allowing himself to be converted to Christianity . He also tries to get Christians to look down on other Christians who he invites them to think 'might not be up to standard'.
The truth is, Christians are righteous in God's sight due to the grace of God, due to accepting our need for God's forgiveness and putting faith in Christ. The tempter, satan, is full of sin and pride, the bible explains.
To point out that false Christians who stated that they were 'proud' of their own faith and views have at times been history's aggressive warmongers.)
A 'one world religion' adulating a false Messiah figure is not fully here, though there is much discussion about how it's on its way.The story of the prodigal son in the bible makes it very clear that that the Heavenly Father always wants people to come to their senses, leave the 'Kingdom of satan's destruction' and come home to him. His heart for adult sinners is well described in this song, 'Adam, where are you?':
'I don't care where you've been sleepingI don't care who's made your bedI already gave my life to set you freeThere's no sin you can imagine that is stronger than my loveAnd it's all yours if you'll come home again to me'.With its chorus'The Father's voice is calling with an urgency we've never heard beforeCome in from the darkness now, before it's time to finally close the door'. Mathew 19:14 'Jesus, however, said, "Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these." '
~~~~~~~
There seems to have been a 'falling away' generally, in all the denomination Churches, over recent years, in keeping with the Thessalonians scripture.
The bible explains that insincere, merely professed Christians quit when the time is hard and those who really believe remain faithful to Jesus.
The parable of the wheat and the tares .
These 'end times' we are thought to be living in appear to be demonstrating the truth of the parable which applies on a global scale in the 'end times'.

Obama has clearly demonstrated that his Christianity is “inclusive”, meaning 'Christianity is not what Christ teaches, only what people “think” it is'. Beware the wolf; Obama is one in designer clothing!
