Armstrong was a God-send to restore long lost truths; stood against traditional Christianity's error and taught the plain truth of the Bible; restored our Hebrew roots; warned world leaders about a German-dominated European Union and offered the hope and comfort of Christ's return to save us from its nuclear holocaust; he brought God's Church back on track, and he died, full of faith and wisdom, leaving a lasting impression on those who continue the quest for God's Kingdom.David Ben-Arielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02271443642557427428noreply@blogger.comBlogger2007125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841778.post-69613190322086848392011-02-18T06:57:00.001-08:002011-02-18T06:57:21.412-08:00The Vatican versus the Fourth Commandment<div style="font-size: 14px; margin: 25px; width: 550px;"> <div style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: left;"><a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=EO6o3&m=1ax_SD21fbqwrj&b=OetS14P3H6oKmmM7_H20eg" style="color: #000033; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Commentary: The Vatican versus the Fourth Commandment</a></div><div style="color: #336699; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">By Wyatt Ciesielka | Saturday, February 12, 2011</div><div style="color: black; text-align: left;">On January 25, Pope Benedict XVI again proclaimed his desire "to ignite a fervent missionary movement in the Catholic Church," stating he wants to advance "the entire Catholic Church into a new missionary age" in 2011 (catholic.org, January 28, 2011). While this movement will ultimately contribute to fulfilling prophecies such as Isaiah 47:8-9 and Revelation 17:2-5, an aspect of this rejuvenated "fervent missionary movement" already affects billions. This is the growing emphasis on Sunday observance. <a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=EO6o3&m=1ax_SD21fbqwrj&b=9UbETGcG.rEYHWz1YUubJA" style="color: #336699; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Read more <img align="middle" alt="Read More" border="0" class="emptyExternalImage" height="12" src="http://mail.buckeye-express.com/eonapps/images/grayfiller.gif" width="12" /></a></div></div>David Ben-Arielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02271443642557427428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841778.post-65909958502409621392011-02-10T17:22:00.001-08:002011-02-10T17:22:12.432-08:00Beyond Babylon<a href="http://www.publishamerica.com/greetingcardpro/createcard1.asp?PostCardID=7004" style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" src="http://www.publishamerica.com/shopping/images/1413750575.jpg" /></a><br />

</span><a href="http://beyondbabylon.blogspot.com/2006/11/beyond-babylon-europes-rise-and-fall.html" style="font-family: verdana;">Introduction</a><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />

<br />
The DEVASTATION unleashed against America and her British allies was without precedent. Destruction was everywhere and a body count impossible. The catastrophe was beyond calculation.<br />
<br />
Europe - gripped with a messianic furor - justified this mass destruction of the body to "save the soul." Besides, they have the blessing of the pope. His white robes are stained with the blood of many martyrs.<br />
<br />

<br />
Why are we in mortal danger? Why will the American, British and Jewish people SUFFER national defeat? How could Europe ever turn against us?<br />
<br />

<br />
As global tensions increase, and threats of confrontation escalate, we might very well wonder whether humanity will survive. <i>Unless</i> there’s a GOD to intervene, we have a bleak future indeed: a DEAD PLANET! Will earth become a nuclear fireball? Will charred bones - aftermath of unleashed atomic fires - and the smoldering ruins of a suicidal civilization be all that’s left?<br />
<br />
<b>Beyond Babylon<br />
</b></span><a href="http://beyondbabylon.blogspot.com/2007/01/beyond-babylon-europes-rise-and-fall.html" style="font-family: verdana;">Chapter 4</a><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />

<br />
Whenever our behavior gets out of control, <i>God lets us loose control! </i>When we’re held hostage to bad habits, and refuse to let them go, we go into captivity! A national lack of discipline results in God sending corrective punishment! Then we wake up and get with it, and beg God to save us. The whole purpose is to bring us to our knees and senses.<br />
<br />

<br />
What’s going to happen to Europe? We know what’s going to happen to the American and British peoples, as well as to our Jewish brethren. The coming WORLD CRISIS is prophesied to fall especially hard on them. Why?<br />
<br />
<b>Beyond Babylon<br />
</b></span><a href="http://beyondbabylon.blogspot.com/2007/04/beyond-babylon-europes-rise-and-fall.html" style="font-family: verdana;">Chapter 6</a><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span><a href="http://beyondbabylon.blogspot.com/2007/04/beyond-babylon-europes-rise-and-fall.html" style="font-family: verdana;">Jesus and the Jews</a><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
<br />
Why don't the Jews accept Jesus?" I've been asked that so many times. My usual reply? "Why haven't the Christians?" At least the Jews are waiting for the proper imperial restoration. The Messiah's coming to sit on DAVID'S THRONE - not Caesar's or "St. Peter's." The Anointed One's going to rule from JERUSALEM - not Rome!<br />
<br />

<br />
Israel's about to host the greatest showdown on earth! A spiritual conflict of interests will create such a scene in Jerusalem that the whole world will watch! Zion will be an arena of prophets and sorcerers, warriors and kings! The forces of good and evil are set to duel: the sons of light will battle the sons of darkness, and truth will confront error head-on!<br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Jeremiah 10</span></b><br />
1 Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.<br />
2 Thus says the LORD: <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Do not learn the way of the Gentiles</span></b>; <br />
Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven, <br />
For the Gentiles are dismayed at them. <br />
3 For the <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">customs</span></b> of the peoples are futile; <br />
For one cuts a tree from the forest, <br />
The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. <br />
4 They decorate it with silver and gold; <br />
They fasten it with nails and hammers <br />
So that it will not topple. <br />
5 They are upright, like a palm tree, <br />
And they cannot speak; <br />
They must be carried, <br />
Because they cannot go by themselves.<br />
Do not be afraid of them, <br />
For they cannot do evil, <br />
Nor can they do any good. <br />
6 Inasmuch as there is none like You, O LORD <br />
(You are great, and Your name is great in might), <br />
7 Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? <br />
For this is Your rightful due. <br />
For among all the wise men of the nations, <br />
And in all their kingdoms, <br />
There is none like You. <br />
8 But they are altogether dull-hearted and foolish; <br />
A wooden idol is a worthless doctrine. <br />
9 Silver is beaten into plates; <br />
It is brought from Tarshish, <br />
And gold from Uphaz, <br />
The work of the craftsman <br />
And of the hands of the metalsmith; <br />
Blue and purple are their clothing; <br />
They are all the work of skillful men.<br />
10 But the LORD is the true God; <br />
He is the living God and the everlasting King. <br />
At His wrath the earth will tremble, <br />
And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation. <br />
<br />
Jeremiah 10 condemns idolatry, both in the letter and in the spirit, whether a physical idol or an idolatrous tradition based upon <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">HEATHEN CUSTOMS</span></b> like the "Christmas tree" that history clearly exposes as pagan in origin. Those who adorn their Christmas trees and remain in denial about its pagan origin, who play deaf, dumb and blind to the facts, who attempt to dismiss or downplay how it's a heathen custom, are <i><span style="font-style: italic;">living a lie</span></i> and shamefully reject the clear commandments of God that speak against such spiritual adultery, mixing and matching pagan error with biblical truth, and will suffer the consequences for being so dishonest and deceitful. <br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Pagan holidays like Christmas and pagan customs like Christmas trees are both abominations to God.</span></b> True Christians shun both, we avoid them like the plague, because we love God more than idolatrous traditions of apostate men!<br />

Tens of millions of children the world over are getting ready to dress up in strange costumes and scary-faced masks to go door to door and beg for candy treats by saying, "Trick or treat!"

The front page headline of the<i> Wall Street Journal</i> on October 8, 2010, should grab every American's attention: "Dollar's Fall Roils World." The article points out how the U.S. dollar has fallen to historic lows against many of the world's currencies. Why? Other nations' continuing fear of the Federal Reserve's reckless injections of "Monopoly money" into the financial markets to prop up America's faltering economy. <a href="http://www.lcg.org/cgi-bin/tw/commentary/tw-comm.cgi?category=Commentary1&item=1287752501#read_more">Read more</a>David Ben-Arielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02271443642557427428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841778.post-59038998463363669392010-10-12T08:57:00.001-07:002010-10-12T08:57:40.827-07:00God commands Israel to build the Temple!<span style="font-weight: bold;"><big><a href="http://www.davidbenariel.org/third-temple/god-commands-israel-temple.htm">God commands Israel to build the Temple!</a></big></span><br />

Jewish guards prevent Christians and Jews from exercising their religious right to pray on the Temple Mount? That's right! Only Muslims have unlimited access to Judaism's most holy site. Only the Koran is permitted within. The Tanach (Jewish Scripture, known to much of the world as the "Old Testament") and Christian Scriptures (the New Testament) are forbidden. Yet Israel claims to respect the religious rights of all people.<br />

Will an EARTHQUAKE shake Israel to its foundations and rock the world? Would the destruction of the Western/Wailing Wall and the demolition of the "Dome of the Rock" and Al-Aksa mosques—by an ACT OF GOD—serve further notice that it's time to build the Temple?<br />

"And let them make me a Sanctuary that I may dwell among them" (Ex. 25:8). This holy command in the Scriptures seems clear enough, so what's the problem? Why has Israel tolerated Jerusalem’s "abomination of desolation" — a Temple Mount without a Temple? Why haven't the religious leaders encouraged the people to do what they can in fulfilling this mitzva?<br />

During a 1995 Root and Branch lecture in Jerusalem, Professor Nahum Rakover, author and then Deputy Attorney General of Israel, publicly agreed with me that it <i>isn't</i> illegal for Christians or Jews to pray upon the Temple Mount, even though it is forcibly prevented by the police.<br />
<br />
<big><span style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://www.davidbenariel.org/third-temple/issue-temple-mount.htm">The Issue of the Temple Mount</a></span></big>The common knowledge of our time is that the vast majority of Rabbis of this generation have prohibited the Jewish people from entering the Temple Mount (Har HaBayit), the holiest site in Judaism. The Temple Mount is the site of where the Beit HaMikdash (the Jewish Temple) once stood and the place where the Moslems have erected one mosque, the al-Aqsa and a site of pilgrimage, the Dome of the Rock.<br />

The Wakf, the militant Muslim authority that oversees Jerusalem's Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site and Islam's alleged third holiest site (following Mecca and Medina) continue to show blatant disregard for Jewish, Christian and biblical history and non-Muslim sensitivities.<br />

Something's missing. Rome is synonymous with the Vatican, Mecca with the Kaaba, and Jerusalem's known for its Western Wall. But <i>why</i> should we stand before the wall, letting it obstruct our vision, when we could be praying in a Temple? Why should Jews continue to bow before an illegitimate Gentile decree that tells them where to pray? (Isaiah 10:1).<br />

<span style="color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;">Gershon Salomon warned Israel and its leadership that as long as the shameful situation on the Temple Mount continues, and as long as they do not obey the call of G-d, peace will not come to the land. The enemies of Israel will continue to desire her land and will pressure those in power to divide it. Obedience to the call of G-d will bring peace, all of Israel's enemies will be removed and no one will wish to divide or desire the land.</span><br />

During my brief appearance before Israel's High Court, the prosecution charged that I hold "dangerous ideas." I suppose the short-sighted prosecution would ban the Bible if he could since it contains the "dangerous ideas" that millions believe in! What are those "dangerous ideas?"<br />

I was detained when I faithfully reported to the police office at 9 a.m. Monday morning, January 9, 1996 (day before my birthday) the day after The Jerusalem Post published on their front page an article shedding light on what they were doing in the dark: "GSS Seeks to Deport American Citizen for Plot to Blow Up Al Aksa Mosque." </span>David Ben-Arielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02271443642557427428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841778.post-44255066014298933922010-10-09T15:54:00.001-07:002010-10-09T15:54:57.011-07:00Singing Stars!<div style="font-size: 14px; margin: 25px; width: 550px;"> <div style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: left;"><a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=EO6o3&m=1dULAD_qc5qwrj&b=6yIZ1ezYaz.F_jm5p1vYcQ" style="color: #000033; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Commentary: Big beautiful diamonds</a></div><div style="color: #336699; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">By Wyatt Ciesielka | <a href="http://www.davidbenariel.org/cog/remember-sabbath.htm">Sabbath</a>, October 09, 2010</div><div style="color: black; text-align: left;">Have you ever held a really big, beautiful diamond? A "GIA grade F" diamond is considered flawless. These are the rarest diamonds on earth, revealing no visible internal or external imperfections. Three to four carat "grade Fs" are valued at $250,000 to $300,000 or more. But these diamonds are unimpressive specks compared to the diamonds the Creator God possesses. His diamonds are thousands of miles across - and, they sing for Him. <a href="http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=EO6o3&m=1dULAD_qc5qwrj&b=6yIZ1ezYaz.F_jm5p1vYcQ" style="color: #336699; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Read more <img align="middle" alt="Read More" border="0" height="12" src="https://www.cogl.org/images/weekly_digest/next_button.gif" width="12" /></a></div></div>David Ben-Arielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02271443642557427428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841778.post-78932687612311321262010-10-07T06:05:00.003-07:002010-10-07T06:05:33.719-07:00Gerald Flurry & the Philadelphia Church of GodMany of these articles were written years ago, so I don't necessarily agree with everything in them.<br />

When Gerald Flurry wasn't anything in his own sight or mind God used him and now, unfortunately, it appears to have gone to his head, all the new revelation (simply a deeper understanding of some things), and he forgets that all truth is from and belongs to GOD and that God can use a donkey to deliver it (1 Cor. 4:7). Gerald Flurry has become so swollen in his own imagination that he fails to see that he is the leader of LAODICEA! He knows what warning God is giving the Laodiceans, of which he is chief! He had better heed his own words...<br />

"It's certainly not my place to determine if what you believe God has shown you is true or not, but would you mind presenting Mr. Flurry with an abbreviated version of what you feel is inspired... as I highly doubt that he would have time to read your whole book."<br />

The Work of God must go forward. The only work that's left to do now is focus on the NATIONAL LEVEL. We must get out God's ultimatum and fast! Europe is on the rise and Jerusalem is getting international attention (Zech. 14:2). Soon God's two witnesses will rise and shine in a world of darkness (Isa. 60:1-2). God's about to restore His lamp to the Middle East! (Rev. 11:3; 1 Kgs. 11:36; Amos 9:11; Zech. 12:8).<br />

If you truly saw what is coming on this Earth, and had a vision of tomorrow, you would know that the Gathering Storm darkens as you sip champagne and boast that you're rich and in need of nothing, woefully ignorant that the Two Witnesses will soon be wearing sackcloth and fasting, not wining and dining at black tie dinners!<br />

We know that certain prophecies were not to be fulfilled until these "last days." Therefore their sealed messages weren't to break their silence until the appointed time (Dan. 12:9). With the advent of the nuclear age, we've been living, for the first time in history, with the weapons of mass destruction that can erase all life from off planet Earth! (Matt. 24:21-22).<br />

Gerald Flurry refused to go forward with Beyond Babylon and fell backwards, treading old ground and is now going in circles, business as usual, as Europe rises and <a href="http://www.davidbenariel.org/lost-tribes/israel-judah-king-messiah.htm">Judah</a> and Israel have yet to be warned.<br />

Let’s see to it that Philadelphia Church of God (Judah) doesn’t go the way of the Worldwide Church of God (Israel). These biblical principles still apply: don’t put undue trust in men; work out your own salvation, it’s not a group affair; beware the scholarly approach that demands you rely on men - not God’s Spirit or personal Bible study.<br />

"I have set Watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem"God has called us to do a Work! Anyone can and should do good works in private, but God has called us collectively to COME OUT OF THE CLOSET and deliver His Message! We're to help save individuals and nations from the coming Holocaust!<br />

The <i><a href="http://www.sabbath.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Audio.showSermons/subj/trumpets/feast-of-trumpets-sermons.htm" target="_blank">Feast of Trumpets</a></i> warns mankind of impending war and the <a href="http://www.truegospel.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/library.sa/subj/return/jesus-christs-return-articles.htm" target="_blank">return of Jesus Christ</a>. <i>Atonement</i> depicts <a href="http://www.cgg.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Audio.details/ID/167/Satan-Part-1.htm" target="_blank">Satan</a> being restrained and man finally becoming one with God. The <i><a href="http://www.sabbath.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Audio.showSermons/subj/fot/feast-of-tabernacles-sermons.htm" target="_blank">Feast of Tabernacles</a></i> pictures Christ's thousand-year reign of unprecedented <a href="http://www.cgg.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Library.sr/CT/PERSONAL/k/273/The-Fruit-of-Spirit-Peace.htm" target="_blank">peace</a> and prosperity.<br />

The final festival is the <i><a href="http://www.sabbath.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Audio.showSermons/subj/lgd/last-great-day-sermons.htm" target="_blank">Last Great Day</a></i>. It looks forward to a time after the Millennium when an awesomely wonderful period of salvation will take place. During this time the majority of mankind—rich and poor, young and old, men and women—will be resurrected and have an opportunity to inherit eternal life. Billions will qualify to enter the God Family! On the other hand, those who will not <a href="http://www.truegospel.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Basics.tour/ID/7/Repentance-Belief-and-Gospel.htm" target="_blank">repent</a>, who will not submit to God and His way, will be cast into the Lake of Fire and die the second—eternal—death.

Jewish guards prevent Christians and Jews from exercising their religious right to pray on the Temple Mount? That's right! Only Muslims have unlimited access to Judaism's most holy site. Only the Koran is permitted within. The Tanach (Jewish Scripture, known to much of the world as the "Old Testament") and Christian Scriptures (the New Testament) are forbidden. Yet Israel claims to respect the religious rights of all people.<br />
