the Word of God and that Jesus is the Christ, God Himself, who
spilled His blood on the cross for our sins and rose again to
prepare a place for those who repent and accept 'His' righteousness

as their Lord and Savior, Jews first and then Gentiles. "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any

- MORE GREETINGS to all and the newcomers to this list. We'd
like to introduce ourselves. George and Rita Williams founded
this ministry. We were Mormons (Temple Mormons) for 20 years.
We prayed to God in 1992 to allow us to do a ministry speaking
out against Scientology. Six months later God led us to the truth:
out of the cult of Mormonism. We did not know at the time we
were in a cult. No-one had witnessed to us in 20 years.
- The Holy Spirit brought us to information about all the cults
and the present development of the New World Order. We began
bringing our research to you. Because all the research was already
done, we decided to build a library within Cephas Ministry. Our
newsletters are not designed to provoke
anger which is strictly prohibited in Scripture. It is to shed
light on activities by those who would deceive those who are
recorded in the Book of Life by devious methods and systematic
plans.
- We are Bible students and have left all worldly organizations.
We attend church if the message is from the authorized KJV Bible.
The focus of these newsletters is to prove why we had to leave
the world system. We are called 'Watchmen on the Wall' which
God always had during the Old / New Testament Times.
- To understand what is happening, one has to know the Bible
to compare notes.
- The first section is about the church.
The news about churches is unedited unless indicated by Ednotes.
The church as we knew it, is undergoing disintegration. This
began on a fast track in the early nineteen sixties when the
Catholic Church produced liberal Vatican II to replace Vatican
I.
- The trend since then has been ecumenical which is truly what
the word 'Catholicism' means: a universal religion all
inclusive and multicultural. The Bible calls for a final church
and today's church doesn't resemble what Jesus taught. The Word
of God has undergone many changes to fit the progressive modes.
Many new Bible tranlations have brought confusion. The Bible
calls for a falling away from the truth before
Jesus comes back for His Bride. The true believers are called
'Ekklesia.' Our newsletters prove this fact and prove that the
Bible is true from beginning to end.
- The second section is about globalism
where we bring your attention to the social, political and global
trend, the so called democratizing what is left of the world.
This is a deception since the underlying new world global government
is developed by implementing sustainable development. The
Bible prophesies that there will be ten kings (ten horns), each
king (horn) will receive a region of the world as a reward for
work well done for the Antichrist. This is the reason for the
present development of NAU (The North American Union) as well
as the war in the Middle East. It again proves that we are moving
to closure of the times of the Gentiles prophesied in the Bible.
The end result will not be Democracy but a form of Fascist Communism
(Public/Private Corporations enslaving mankind).
- The third section compliments End Time
teachings because Israel is the time piece of the Biblical Prophecy.
1948 was the beginning of the figtree representing Israel, coming
back to life. Israel was allowed to return to its land. Israel
is the rock upon which the world stumbles and crumbles. We watch
and visit Israel for signs which point to the Tribulation to
confirm that we are moving into that space of time.
- Watchmen on the wall do not solicit memberships. We have
an email group that gets information when we upload new information
and newsletters whenever it is possible time wise. We love the
Lord with all our hearts and minds and we love all people God
has created but especially those who love our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ. Our Mission and Statement of Faith are at http://www.cephasministry.com/statement_of_faith.html

- We trust that
our readers will not be discouraged. It is God’s
will that we know the times (1 Ch. 12:32; Mat. 16:3) and that we be as wise as serpents
and harmless as doves.
- The Cephas
Newsletter reminds us that the hour is very late, and we need
to be ready for the Lord’s coming. Are you sure that
you are born again? Are you living for Christ?

- "And
that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out
of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore
cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the
armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not
in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness,
not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof"

13:11-14).

- INTRODUCTION
- To read this book requires love for the Gospel, if you don't
you might as well put it away because you'll simply think it
foolishness. The book proves that biblical truth is indeed truth
that sustains us. No matter what happens to us we land on our
feet and move on knowing we are only passing through. The world
is irrelevant. What is relevant is our eternal life, where we'll
spend it in heaven or hell. All human beings have eternal life
but where they will spend it is the question.
This book will reveal the resistance we are up against in our
enemy Satan who only works to undermine believers in Christ Jesus
because Satan knows where he is going and wants all of humanity
to join him. Those who already have sworn their allegiance to
Satan are no problem to him. Like Jesus Christ, who preached
only three years, was crucified because Satan hated Him, we become
the object of Satan's hatred as well. Had Jesus weakened and
let Satan tempt Him, He would have been King of this world for
a season and the whole world would have ended up in hell forever.
Every man, woman, and child's salvation hung on one man. To prove
to us that we can depend on Him forever, He weakened Himself
by fasting 40 days before He was confronted with the offer to
possess the whole world. If He was 100% human and 100% Spirit,
He experienced everything humans do, yet gave Himself to be humiliated,
be bled and died for our sakes who are completely undeserving
as you will see in this book.
God knows our lot, that we have no chance of making it to Heaven
on our own. We can try as hard as we want; Satan derails us at
every turn without God's intervention. Most of us believe that
we are good people and would not hurt anyone, go to church on
Sunday and earn our wages by the sweat of our brow. That is well
and good, but we tend to be rebels spiritually. We want to do
it our way instead of studying the Bible we read other books
and listen to evangelists in the hope that's going to get us
to heaven. Nothing could be further from the truth. Continued:

- A LAMP IN THE DARK: THE UNTOLD
HISTORY OF THE BIBLE (NEW DVD)
- http://www.adullamfilms.com/NewsUpdateOct232009.html
- -----
- TOM HORN REVIEWS “LAMP”
- Author Tom Horn of Defender Publishing, the editor of the
new book, “HOW TO OVERCOME THE MOST FRIGHTENING ISSUES YOU
WILL FACE THIS CENTURY” and author of the newly released
“APOLLYON RISING 2012” has written a review of our
new documentary, “A Lamp in the Dark: The Untold History
of the Bible.” We’ve been very pleased with the response
to the film thus far, and are excited to learn that people are
watching it over and over. We were especially excited to hear
from Tom, who sent us the following:
- “As a senior pastor for nearly 25 years I loved equipping
young people who felt called to preach the Gospel with a passion
for the Word of God. If I would have had access to such an extraordinary
documentary like A Lamp in the Dark it would have been not only
a helpful tool for communicating critical information about the
history of the Bible, but an integral part of the curriculum
in the schools we operated. “Too many people today (including
in the Church) have no idea what price was paid to provide an
accurate English edition of the Bible. A Lamp in the Dark lays
out this powerful narrative and does not hold back from the truth,
wherever that leads, from the Dark Ages and Papal Inquisition
through the Reformers and martyrs who paid this price in blood,
to modern times and recent translations of the Scripture that
may not be handled with the same level of careful devotion and
scholarship.
- “As usual, award-winning producer Christian J. Pinto
demanded excellence in the making of this 3-hour film, as is
his well-earned trademark. From careful documentation of the
facts to a solid script and dramatic reenactments of the Waldenses
and Albigenses, to John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, and Martin
Luther, the viewer is carried through history and made to vividly
understand the great price that was paid by some for the value
today of having easy access to the inspired Word in print. “It
is my earnest prayer that individuals, pastors, ministries and
churches will share this powerful DVD with their friends and
congregations. You cannot watch this film without growing in
appreciation for the providence of God as well as seeing His
guiding hand at work in delivering to the world A Lamp in the
Dark.” Dr. Thomas R. Horn, CEO Defender Publishing Group

- THE CREATION MUSEUM: MANY INFALLIBLE PROOFS
- July 8, 2009 David Cloud, wayoflife.org - On June 23, 2009,
Brian Snider and I visited the Creation Museum in Petersburg,
Kentucky. Operated by Answers in Genesis, founded by Ken Ham,
the museum is located near the Cincinnati airport. The impressive
facility was completed three years ago at the cost of $40 million
and was visited by 400,000 people in its first year. The 70,000
square foot facility consists of a large museum, a planetarium,
three theaters, lecture rooms, and four cafes. There are also
botanical gardens and a petting zoo. The facility has been so
successful that Answers in Genesis is in the process of expanding
it with a new 600-seat auditorium and other things. The Creation
Museum is the center for serious education. In addition to the
museum itself, there are ongoing lectures, seminars, and courses
for adults and children. The museum also operates a large bookstore
stocked with hundreds of books and DVDs. We heard a powerful
lecture by Dr. David Menton on “The Science of Darwin’s
Evolution.” Menton, who has a Ph.D. in cell biology from
Brown University, critiqued Darwin’s book The Origin of
the Species. He shows that evolution cannot explain the complexity
of life and quoted scientist Paul Davies as follows: “How
did stupid atoms spontaneously write their own software, and
where did the very peculiar form of information needed to get
the first living cell up and running come from? Nobody knows”
(New Scientist, September 18, 1999, volume 163, page 2204). Dr.
Menton referred to the fact that many scientists have doubts
about evolution. He mentioned the web page “A Scientific
Dissent from Darwin,” which features the following statement:
“We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation
and natural selection to account for the complexity of life.
Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should
be encouraged.” This has been signed so far by roughly 800
scientists, including at least 500 doctorates. Signers hold Ph.D.s
in genetics, astrophysics, astronomy, geology, mathematics, biochemistry,
microbiology, engineering, astrophysics, biology, marine geology,
molecular biology, physics, biomedical engineering, organic chemistry,
geophysics, space physics, cell biology, mechanical engineering,
biochemical engineering, aerospace engineering, nuclear chemistry,
organic chemistry, physical chemistry, geophysics, applied mathematics,
nuclear engineering, neurophysiology, experimental particle physics,

- WHY CAN'T WE BE INTO THE TRIBULATION UNTIL THE TWO PROPHETS
SHOW UP IN JERUSALEM AND THE COVENANT BETWEEN THE ANTICHRIST
WITH MANY IS AGREED TO?
- I have not met one who is aware that the Bible has been meticulously
written to leave no doubt as to the prophecy. This particular
subject came up in the ministry. I was told that I didn't know
what I was talking about when I mentioned this. The Holy Spirit
has a way to get us busy defending the Gospel because we are
under attack and need to be able to do just that.
Let's see what the KJV has to say about the two prophets, when
and where they are going to appear, what they are going to be
doing, why they are going to be doing what they do, and who is
going to have a problem with that.
- Of course since no two people agree in interpreting the Bible
the same, there is plenty of controversy here as well. People
come up with various scenarios because they don't like literal
interpretation. I happen to do literal interpretation because
the Bible will back it up every time. One simply can't lose.

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg19VRWX_i0
- April 01, 2009 - Dear Friends,
- Welcome once again to Keep the Faith Ministry. The election
of Barack Obama has brought with it some amazing developments
in prophecy. You will be shocked at how closely Rome has snuggled
up to the new president, even before he became president. But
once he was elected however, Rome has deepened her connection
and influence on the new president.
- Dear Father in Heaven, We are living in momentous times.
Major changes are taking place in this world as we head into
the vortex of the controversy between Christ and Satan. We need
your presence in our lives. We need to overcome our tempers and
our lack of love for others. We need to overcome our bad habits;
our addictions to entertainment, food and material things. Please
send your Holy Spirit to speak to us today so that our lives
may reflect your image. As we look at recent developments in
prophecy today, please open the curtain that we may see what
is going on behind the scenes. We need encouragement to get right
with Jesus and bring our lives in harmony with His law. So bless
us, we pray, in Jesus name, Amen. Continued "Obama Teams

- VATICAN LAUNCHES VIDEO NEWS CHANNEL ON YOU TUBE
- VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The Vatican launched a video channel
on YouTube that will feature news coverage of Pope Benedict XVI
and major Vatican events. It marked the start of the Vatican's
strategic vision of working "to be present wherever people
are," said Archbishop Claudio Celli, head of the Pontifical
Council for Social Communications. The Vatican officially unveiled
the new channel Jan. 23 during a press conference that presented
Pope Benedict's message for World Communications Day, which was
dedicated to new media technology. The Vatican channel is the
result of a new partnership the Vatican Television Center and
Vatican Radio forged with the Internet giant Google and its video-sharing
Web site, YouTube. The Vatican's television and radio operations
had been collaborating for the past year and a half to produce
short news videos that are aired on the Vatican Radio Web site.
The Vatican's ad-free YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/vatican,
each day will offer one to three short video news clips of the
pope or major Vatican events with audio commentary in English,
Italian, Spanish and German. http://www.catholicnews.com/data/briefs/cns/20090123.htm

- A POPE'S NEW WORLD ORDER
- Pope Benedict XVI proposes stunningly radical approach to
global economy Editorials July 7th 2009 -
- Pope Benedict's encyclical on economic justice, delivered
amid the global financial meltdown, is an extraordinary document,
both in its tough challenges and in the remarkably radical solutions
it prescribes. The pontiff focuses on moral dimensions of markets,
globalization, consumerism, environmental protection, the role
of technology, workers' rights and more. To call the document
sweeping is an understatement. Individually, many of Benedict's
teachings are profound ethical and social statements. A few examples:
"Once profit becomes the exclusive goal, if it is produced
by improper means and without the common good as its ultimate
end, it risks destroying wealth and creating poverty."
- "... there is no doubt that foreign workers, despite
any difficulties concerning integration, make a significant contribution
to the economic development of the host country."
- "What is meant by the word 'decency' in regard to work?
It means work that expresses the essential dignity of every man
and woman in the context of their particular society: work that
is freely chosen, effectively associating workers, both men and
women, with the development of their community; work that enables
the worker to be respected and free from any form of discrimination;
work that makes it possible for families to meet their needs
and provide schooling for their children. ..."
- "Financiers must rediscover the genuinely ethical foundation
of their activity, so as not to abuse the sophisticated instruments
which can serve to betray the interests of savers."
- Cumulatively, Benedict's diagnoses of global economic ills
lead to a call for nothing short of "a profoundly new way
of understanding human enterprise." He would move toward
markets geared to "redistribute" wealth from advanced
to poorer countries and sees "urgent need of a true world
political authority" to, among other tasks, "manage
the global economy." Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2009/07/08/2009-07-08_a_popes_new_world_order_

- POPE PROPOSES NEW FINANCIAL ORDER GUIDED NY ETHICS
- AP –
 In
this photo provided by the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano
Pope Benedict XVI signs his third … By NICOLE WINFIELD,
Associated Press Writer Nicole Winfield, Associated Press Writer
– Tue Jul 7, 4:38 pm ET
VATICAN CITY – Pope Benedict XVI called Tuesday for a new
world financial order guided by ethics and the search for the
common good, denouncing the profit-at-all-cost mentality blamed
for bringing about the global financial meltdown. In the third
encyclical of his pontificate, Benedict pressed for reform of
the United Nations and international economic and financial institutions
to give poorer countries more of a say in international policy.
- "There is urgent need (for) a true world political authority"
that can manage the global economy, guarantee the environment
is protected, ensure world peace and bring about food security
for the poor, he wrote.
- The document "Charity in Truth," was in the works
for two years, and its publication was repeatedly delayed to
incorporate the fallout from the crisis. It was released a day
before leaders of the Group of Eight industrialized nations meet
to coordinate efforts to deal with the global meltdown, signaling
a clear Vatican bid to prod leaders for a financially responsible
future and what it considers a more socially just society.
- "The economy needs ethics in order to function correctly
— not any ethics, but an ethics which is people centered,"
Benedict wrote. Continued: http://www.cephas-library.com/pope_proposes_new_financial_order_guided_by_ehtics.html

within and outside our government whose allegiance is primarily
to the foreign Vatican state. In other words, Blackwater is a
religious army serving the Pope in Rome through the Order of
Malta, which is itself considered under international law, as
a sovereign entity with special diplomatic powers and privileges.
Like Blackwater, the Order of Malta is “untouchable”
because it is at the heart of the elite aristocracy.
- The Knights of Malta is not merely a “charitable organization”.
That’s just an elaborate front, as should become clear to
you later. As the name Sovereign Military Order of Malta confirms,
it is a military order based on the crusader Knights Hospitaller
of Jerusalem and is interwoven with Freemasonry. Most people
have never even heard of SMOM, much less that it is a part of
Freemasonry. But that is the way the aristocratic elite like
it... Continued:

embassies will be established in Moscow and Rome. The announcement
comes after President Dmitry Medvedev met Pope Benedict XVI while
on a visit to Italy. The move follows improvements in relations
between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Vatican.

- VATICAN OFFICIAL NOTES LESSON TO LEARN FROM MUSLIMS
- Cardinal Tauran Promotes Dialogue in Indonesia - JAKARTA,
Indonesia, NOV. 27, 2009 (Zenit.org).- Catholics can learn something
from Muslims, the Vatican's official for interreligious dialogue
has affirmed during his visit to Indonesia. Cardinal Jean-Louis
Tauran said this Wednesday in reference to what he called the
"very strong spirituality" of Muslims. "They wake
up early in the morning to pray," he said, as reported by
UCA News. "Our young priests should follow this example
[...] waking up early in the morning to pray to start their daily
activities."
- The cardinal is in Indonesia for a week-long trip that ends
Tuesday, his first official visit to the nation. On Wednesday,
he visited the national Istiqlal mosque, the largest in Southeast
Asia. "We, Catholics, must be witnesses to the surrounding
communities. This is one of the meanings of interreligious dialogue.
And to be witnesses, we need to have a deep spirituality,"
he said at the Assumption Cathedral Church in Central Jakarta.

- OBAMA SIGNS ORDER REVERSING MEXICO CITY POLICY
- WASHINGTON (CATHOLIC NEWS (CNS) January News 1.23.2009 -
Pro-life activists quickly denounced President Barack Obama's
Jan. 23 signature on an executive order reversing the Mexico
City policy, a move that clears the way for the federal government
to provide aid to programs that promote or perform abortion overseas.
The Associated Press reported late in the afternoon that Obama
signed an executive order reversing the ban that was first instituted
by President Ronald Reagan in 1984. Obama signed the order with
no fanfare and with no news media in the room, a marked contrast
to signings of executive orders earlier in the week. "What
a terrible way to begin a new administration, with an abortion
business bailout that will exploit women in developing countries
for political ends," said Charmaine Yoest, president of
Americans United for Life Action, a Washington-based pro-life
activist organization. "We should not export the tragedy
of abortion to other nations, and we certainly shouldn't do so
via the hard-earned dollars of American taxpayers." The
policy banned U.S. taxpayer money, usually in the form of funds
from the U.S. Agency for International Development, from going
to international family planning groups that either offer abortions
or provide information, counseling or referrals about abortion.

- BASIC FACTS ABOUT ISLAM: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE
September 22, 2009 (first published May 16, 2007) wayoflife.org
- The Muslim religion* was founded in the 7th century by Muhammad
(c. 570-632) He was raised by an uncle and grew up as a
shepherd and camel driver. After marrying a wealthy widow named
Kadijah, the first of his many wives, he spent time in contemplation
and prayer, and during one session lasting six months the angel
Gabriel allegedly appeared to him and urged him to "proclaim."
[* Muslim means "one who surrenders himself to God"
and Islam means surrender.]
According to Islam, over a period of 23 years Gabriel dictated
revelations to Muhammad, and these became the Qur'an (Koran),
Islam's holy book. It consists of 114 suras, or chapters, arranged
by length, from the shortest to the longest. Muslims believe
that the Koran is the final revelation of God, superseding the
Bible. The Koran is filled with contradictions to the Bible.
It says, for example, that Abraham offered Ishmael rather than
Isaac, that Noah had a fourth son who died in the flood (Surah
11:42-43), that Mary the mother of Jesus was the sister of Moses
and gave birth to Jesus under a palm tree (Surah 19:28 and 19:21-27).
There are also all sorts of fanciful things in the Koran, such
as a battle between Solomon's army of Jinn (spirit beings), men,
birds, and ants; a battle between vultures and elephants; Jews
who were transformed into apes for breaking the Sabbath; and
God telling Moses to kill a cow and hit a dead man with it so
he can revive, identify his killer, and die again. In extra-Koranic
writings Muhammad said that upon awakening one must blow his
nose three times to rid himself of the Devil, who spends the
night in a man's nostrils (Sahih Bukhari IV, 516; Muslim I, 462),
that yawning is from Satan (Bukhari IV, 509), that if a Muslim
falls asleep praying Satan urinates in his ears (Bukhari II:245),
and people who pray with their eyes lifted toward heaven might
have their eyes snatched away (Muslim I, 863).
In Muhammad's day there was a temple in Mecca containing 360
idols, one of which was Al-ilah or Allah, which had been recognized
as the chief god of Muhammad's tribe for centuries. It was the
moon god, and the sign of the crescent moon that is so prominent
in Islam "harks back to the early Arab worship of Allah
as the moon god" (Dave Hunt, Judgment Day, p. 128). Muhammad
received revelations that Allah was not merely a chief tribal
god but the only true God and that Muhammad was his chosen and
exclusive prophet. Continued:

- THE CULT OF THE MOON GOD
- It should not come as a surprise that the word "Allah"
was not something invented by Muhammad or revealed for the first
time in the Quran. The well-known Middle East scholar H.A.R.
Gibb has pointed out that the reason that Muhammad never had
to explain who Allah was in the Quran is that his listeners had
already heard about Allah long before Muhammad was ever born
(Mohammedanism: An Historical Survey, New York: Mentor Books,
1955, p.38). Dr. Arthur Jeffery, one of the foremost Western
Islamic scholars in modern times and professor of Islamic and
Middle East Studies at Columbia University, notes: "The
name Allah, as the Quran itself is witness, was well known in
pre-Islamic Arabia. Indeed, both it and its feminine form, Allat,
are found not infrequently among the theophorous names in inscriptions
from North Africa" (Islam: Muhammad, and His Religion, New
York: The Liberal Arts Press, 1958, p. 85).
- The word "Allah" comes from the compound Arabic
word, al-ilah. Al is the definite article "the" and
ilah is an Arabic word for "god." It is not a foreign
word. It is not even the Syriac word for God. It is pure Arabic.
(There is an interesting discussion of the origins of Allah,
in "Arabic Lexicographical Miscellanies" by J. Blau
in the Journal of Semitic Studies, Vol. XVII, #2, 1972, pp. 173-190).

Arabian deity. Hastings' Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics

- IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER CALLS MUSLIMS TO PREPARE FOR 'SAVIOR'
- August 28, 2009 - News Watch: Leader calls on Muslims to
mobilize troops
JERUSALEM, ISRAEL (BosNewsLife)– Iranian Supreme Leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called on Muslims around the world
to mobilize their troops alongside Iran against Israel and the
United States to prepare for the coming of the “Mahdi”
seen as “the savior of Islam“. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
urged all Islamic countries to unite in anticipation of Mahdd
al-Montazar, Arabic for the “awaited one”, according
to statements obtained by BosNewsLife Friday, August 28. “We
still have a long way to go in order to achieve this. We have
to train honest forces that can stop the obstacles that may hinder
the coming of the Mahdi like the United States and Israel,”
said Ali Saeedi, a spokesman for the Iranian leader in statements
distributed by Arabic media. He described Iran’s supreme
leader as “a direct representative” of the Mahdi and
said following his orders is like “obeying the guided one.”
- ARMED FORCES
“Since the armed forces are commanded by the Supreme Leader,
they are thus obeying the orders of the awaited Mahdi,”
Saeedi explained. He said Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and
armed forces “hold religious authority to prepare for the
appearance of the Mahdi.” The Mahdi is believed by Muslims
to be arriving before Judgment Day to rid the world of injustice.
Several Evangelical scholars view developments in the Middle
East as signs of the Biblical “last days” before Christ’s
return to take away “the Body of Christ”, describing
everyone who believes in Him. - Iran’s Supreme Leader Calls

- November 25, 2009 - (UPDATE: A news video update on the Hajj
has been added below.) Statement by the President on Hajj and
Eid-ul-Adha, as provided by the White House Michelle and I would
like to send our best wishes to all those performing Hajj this
year, and to Muslims in America and around the world who are
celebrating Eid-ul-Adha. The rituals of Hajj and Eid-ul-Adha
both serve as reminders of the shared Abrahamic roots of three
of the world’s major religions. During Hajj, the world’s
largest and most diverse gathering, three million Muslims from
all walks of life – including thousands of American Muslims
– will stand in prayer on Mount Arafat. The following day,
Muslims around the world will celebrate Eid-ul-Adha and distribute
food to the less fortunate to commemorate Abraham’s willingness
to sacrifice his son out of obedience to God. This year, I am
pleased that the Department of Health and Human Services has
partnered with the Saudi Health Ministry to prevent and limit
the spread of H1N1 during Hajj. Cooperating on combating H1N1
is one of the ways we are implementing my administration's commitment
to partnership in areas of mutual interest. On behalf of the
American people, we would like to extend our greetings during
this Hajj season – Eid Mubarak.Continued: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/

Neither is Allah a Hebrew or Greek word for God as found in the

- '"Allah" is a proper name, applicable only to their

'"Allah" is a pre-Islamic name . . . corresponding
to the Babylonian Bel' (Encyclopedia of Religion, I:117 Washington
DC, Corpus Pub., 1979). For those who find it hard to believe
that Allah was a pagan name for a peculiar pagan Arabian deity
in pre-Islamic times, the following quotations may be helpful:
"Allah is found . . . in Arabic inscriptions prior to Islam"
(Encyclopedia Britannica, I:643). "The Arabs, before the
time of Mohammed, accepted and worshipped, after a fashion, a
supreme god called Allah" (Encyclopedia off Islam, I:302,
Leiden: E.J. Brill, 1913, Houtsma). "Allah was known to
the pre-Islamic . . . Arabs; he was one of the Meccan deities"
(Encyclopedia off Islam, I:406, ed. Gibb).
- "Ilah . . . appears in pre-Islamic poetry . . . By frequency
of usage, al-ilah was contracted to Allah, frequently attested
to in pre-Islamic poetry" (Encyclopedia off Islam, III:1093,
1971). "The name Allah goes back before Muhammad" (Encyclopedia
of World Mythology and Legend, I:41, Anthony Mercatante, New
York, The Facts on File, 1983). "The origin of this (Allah)
goes back to pre-Muslim times. Allah is not a common name meaning
"God" (or a "god"), and the Muslim must use
another word or form if he wishes to indicate any other than
his own peculiar deity" (Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics,
I:326, Hastings). To the testimony of the above standard reference
works, we add those of such scholars as Henry Preserved Smith
of Harvard University who has stated: "Allah was already
known by name to the Arabs" (The Bible and Islam: or, The
Influence of the Old and New Testament on the Religion of Mohammed,
New York, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1897, p. 102). Dr. Kenneth
Cragg, former editor of the prestigious scholarly journal Muslim
World and an outstanding modern Western Islamic scholar, whose
works are generally published by Oxford University, comments:
"The name Allah is also evident in archeological and literary
remains of pre-Islamic Arabia" (The Call of the Minaret,
New York: Oxford University Press, 1956, p. 31). Dr. W. Montgomery
Watt, who was Professor of Arabic and Islamic Studies at Edinburgh
University and Visiting Professor of Islamic studies at College
de France, Georgetown University, and the University of Toronto,
has done extensive work on the pre-Islamic concept of Allah.
He concludes: "In recent years I have become increasingly
convinced that for an adequate understanding of the career of
Muhammad and the origins of Islam great importance must be attached
to the existence in Mecca of belief in Allah as a "high
god." In a sense this is a form of paganism, but it is so
different from paganism as commonly understood that it deserves
separate treatment" (William Montgomery Watt, Muhammad's
Mecca, p. vii. Also see his article, "Belief in a High God
in Pre-Islamic Mecca", Journal of Semitic Studies, Vol.
16, 1971, pp. 35-40). Caesar Farah in his book on Islam concludes
his discussion of the pre-Islamic meaning of Allah by saying:
"There is no reason, therefore, to accept the idea that
Allah passed to the Muslims from the Christians and Jews"
(Islam: Beliefs and Observations, New York, Barrons, 1987, p.
28). According to Middle East scholar E.M. Wherry, whose translation
of the Quran is still used today, in pre-Islamic times Allah-worship,
as well as the worship of Ba-al, were both astral religions in
that they involved the worship of the sun, the moon, and the
stars (A Comprehensive Commentary on the Quran, Osnabruck: Otto
Zeller Verlag, 1973, p. 36). Continued; http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/islam.htm

- WHO IS THE ONLY QUALIFIED MELCHIZEDEK PRIEST?
- Email comment by Lynn D. on November 26, 2009 - First of
all, “Krishna” is a New Age demonic entity that deceives
people into thinking they have achieved some sublime level of
spiritual enligtenment that will somehow save them in the afterlife.
Hare Krishna (who is not even a person but a level of consciousness:),
IS NOT Melchizedek!
Melichizedek is non other than Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Melchizedek is not so much a name as it is a title or designation
of honor. It is a position or office that can filled only by
a worthy candidate.
The term is a transliteration of two Hebrew words, melek and
tsedeq. The Hebrew “melek” means “king” and
“tsedeq” means “righteousness”. Therefore,
the term “Melchizedek” means literally, “King
of Righteousness.”
Since “Melchizedek” was the epitome of righteousness,
and no human including Noah, Daniel, and Job is inherently righteous,(Rom
3:23) it is readily apparent to me that the King of Righteousness
could not have been human! Had He been human, Melchizedek would
have been the same as Aaron or anyone else, i.e. an imperfect
sinner. As the “King of Righteousness”, Melchizedek
was the image of God’s Spirit. (see Col1:15 and Heb1:3).
Malachi said that the Sun of Righteousness would arise with healing
in His wings (Mal 4:2). Malachi was precluded from using the
word “son” because that would have implied that the
One who later became Jesus was someone other than Melchizedek.
The term “Son” would have suggested that Jesus was
in some way a son or a descendant of Melchizedek. Actually, the
prophetic Sun of Righteousness and the King of Righteousness
is one and the same person, Jesus Christ.
Malachi said the Sun of Righteous would arise, and he meant that
in a literal sense. Christ will descend from the sky, but before
He descends, He will have to ascend (see Psalm 82:8). In Hebrews
7:3, Paul says that Melchizedek was without father or mother,
i.e. He had no parents. Paul’s statement should be taken
literally because he was, in fact, emphasizing the deity of Melchizedek.
Every human, including Adam, has had a father (Luke 3:38). All
the angels have the same father as Adam, and they are referred
to many times in Scripture as “sons of God”. The One
who became Jesus Christ is the father of all life except for
one human life, His own. The Most High God is the Father of Jesus
(Luke 1:32). But, God was not the father of Melchizedek. Paul
is clearly saying that Melchizedek, like the Most High God, was
without parents. Neither of them had beginning of days nor end
of life. The two of them had always lived and there had never
been a time that each of them had not lived. Melchizedek had
always possessed life inherent. Life was not given to Him, He
was not anyone’s son. However, Melchizedek was willing to
relinquish His immortality (John 10:18) so that He could become
not only the King of Righteousness, but also the Lamb of God.
Jesus succinctly put it this way, “Before Abraham was, I
Am” (John 8:58). Jesus’ human conception was the fulfillment
of prophecy (Psalm 2:7, Hebrews 1:5). Because the Son promoted
God’s righteousness and hated iniquity, God said to Him,
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, a scepter of righteousness
is the scepter [symbol] of your Kingdom” (Heb1:8-9). Melchizedek,
who had been the King of Righteousness, became the Son of God
and the fulfillment of the scepter promise of Genesis 49:10.
Christ was made a Priest forever by an oath of the Most High
God (Hebrews 7:20-21). It is His righteousness which is manifested
in God’s saints (Romans 8:4). The (called out) church, (not
organized, freemason controlled, denominationalism) shares in
the priesthood of Christ and the resurrected saints will, like
Him, forever be kings and priests after the order of Melchizedek
(Rev 5:10). Jesus Christ is the Sun and the King of Righteousness,
He is the Melchizedek, the one and only King of Righteousness.
And He is the “Way, the truth and the Life, and NO ONE comes
to the Father but by Him.” (Jn 14:6)….. (Not “Krishna,
Buddha, Pope So and So XIII, Sufi “master” Hazrat Inayat,
Musharaff Khan,Swami Yogananda, Kriya Yoga, Papa Ramdas, Dalai
Lama, the Gwalya Karmapa, Chögyam Trungpa, or any other
New Age, demon controlled “guru.”

chords, Plant said, "All of a sudden my hand was writing
out words. I just sat there and looked at the words and then
I almost leaped out of my seat" (Stephen Davis, Hammer of
the Gods, p. 164). Bill Ward of BLACK SABBATH said, "I've
always considered that there was some way where we were able
to channel energy, and that energy was able to be, from another
source, if you like, like a higher power or something, that was
actually doing the work. I've often thought of us just being
actually just the earthly beings that played the music because
it was uncanny. Some of this music came out extremely uncanny"
(Black Sabbath An Ora l History, p. 7). Stevie Nicks of FLEETWOOD
MAC said, "It's amazing, 'cause sometimes when we're on
stage, I feel like somebody's just moving the pieces. ... I'm
just going, 'God, we don't have any control over this.' And that's
magic" (Circus, April 14, 1971). Angus Young, lead guitarist
for AC-DC, said, "... it's like I'm on automatic pilot.
By the time we're halfway through the first number someone else
is steering me. I'm just along for the ride. I become possessed
when I get on stage" (Hit Parader, July 1985, p. 60). Keith
Richards of ROLLING STONES said, "We receive our songs by
inspiration, like at a séance" (Rolling Stone, May
5, 1977, p. 55). Richards said that he received the opening riff
to the wicked song "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" in
a dream. He woke up and sang it into a tape recorder. Marc Storace
of KROKUS said, "You can't describe it [playing rock music]
except to say it's like a mysterious energy that comes from the
metaphysical plane and into my body. It's almost like being a
medium..." (Circus, January 31, 1984, p. 70). Yoko Ono said
of THE BEATLES, "They were like mediums. They weren't conscious
of all they were saying, but it was coming through them"
(The Playboy Interviews with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, 1982,
p. 106.). CARLOS SANTANA "keeps a yellow legal pad handy
to record the music when it comes to him 'just like a fax machine'"
(Rolling Stone, March 16, 2000, p. 41). (For more examples of

- DID THE PROSPERITY GOSPEL CAUSE THE CRASH? PROSPERITY FACES
CHALLENGES:
- FRUGAL SAVERS
- TENNESIAN - November 28, 2009 - For 40 years, the Rev. Charles
Cowan has been preaching that God wants Christians to prosper.
So he's not about to change the message, no matter how bad the
economy looks.
- That includes telling his followers that if they are faithful
in giving to the church, God will reward them financially.
"We want to be sure that we are taking care of honoring
God, because his Word tells us that if we honor him, he will
honor us," said Cowan, pastor of nondenominational Faith
is the Victory Church in Nashville.
Despite the economic downturn, the prosperity gospel remains
alive and well. Pastors like Cowan or televangelists like the
Rev. Creflo Dollar and the Rev. Kenneth Copeland continue to
promise that financial blessings will follow donations to their
ministries. But it faces a challenge from a new austerity gospel,
which says God blesses those who work hard, save their money
and pay off their debts.Continued:

- THE FUTURE OF EVANGELICALS: A CONSERVATION WITH PASTOR RICK
WARREN
November 13, 2009 - Rick Warren - The evangelical Christian movement
historically has been defined by its members' distinctive doctrinal
standards and practices. Yet in recent years many Americans have
come to understand evangelicals more by their political, rather
than religious, identity. The Pew Research Center's Forum on
Religion & Public Life invited Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback
Church in Lake Forest, Calif., to discuss how this political
association has affected the evangelical movement, what evangelicals'
most important concerns are today, and how the movement is evolving.
Warren is the author of The Purpose Driven Life, published in
2002. He hosted a presidential candidate forum at his Saddleback
Church during the 2008 campaign. Several months later he delivered
the inaugural prayer at President Barack Obama's swearing-in.
The founder of a global alliance of pastors from 162 countries,
he currently leads the P.E.A.C.E. Plan, an international effort
mobilizing Christians to attack what he considers the "five
global giants" of poverty, disease, spiritual emptiness,
self-serving leadership and illiteracy. Continued: http://pewforum.org/events/?EventID=221

- RELIGIOUS DIETARY LAWS: PORK BYPRODUCT IN SWINE FLU VACCINE
October 15, 2009 By TOM JOHNSON - FOX 35 News has discovered
that the H1N1, swine flu vaccine contains an ingredient that
raises questions whether its use is permissible under certain
religious, dietary laws. The Jewish, Muslim and Seventh-Day Adventist
faiths all forbid members from consuming pork. The ban is based
on scripture. FOX 35 found that the swine flu mist and injectable
vaccine both contain something called hydrolyzed porcine gelatin.
The Centers for Disease Control confirms that the ingredient
is a pork by-product used to promote temperature stability…
and allow for refrigerated storage. Continued: (page has been

- SCIENTOLOGY CHURCH REJECTS DEATH ALLEGATIONS
- November 24, 2009 - NZ NEWS The Church of Scientology has
rejected allegations raised in federal parliament in Australia
about the death of a 14-month-old girl nine years ago. Independent
senator Nick Xenophon last week said correspondence from former
members had implicated the church in a range of crimes, including
forced imprisonment, coerced abortions, intimidation and blackmail.
Eight letters from former members of the church were tabled in
parliament, including one from Paul David Schofield, who said
his toddler daughter Lauren fell down some stairs to her death
after being allowed to wander around one of the church's Sydney
buildings. "My wife and I were actively discouraged from
seeking compensation from the church," he wrote. "I
was also encouraged by church executives to request no coronial
enquiry into her death, something I stupidly agreed with at that
time." But the church on Monday said the allegations were
false. Continued:

- SUICIDE SOLDIER'S FAMILY CALLS FOR SCIENTOLOGY PROBE
- November 24, 2009 The family of a soldier who killed himself
after being bombarded with calls and texts from fellow Scientologists
have backed calls for an inquiry into the group. Edward McBride
took his own life in 2007. His family believe the Church of Scientology
played a major role in his death, and have spent the past two
years trying to find answers. The un-funny Truth about Scientology.
Now they have urged the federal government to initiate an inquiry
into the controversial religious group, under fire following
recent allegations of blackmail, sanctioned beatings, forced
abortions and financial fraud. Independent senator Nick Xenophon
last week made a scathing parliamentary attack on scientology,
accusing it of using religion as a front for criminal activities.

- NUMBERUSA HELPS SHOW CHURCH LEADERS THAT AMNESTY IS NOT NOT
RELIGIOUS CHARITY - SOME CHURCHES ARE LISTENING
You probably already know that many American church groups have
recently endorsed an illegal alien amnesty. National church leaders
are in near unanimous agreement that amnesty is the right thing
to do. However, most rank-and-file church members seem strongly
opposed to amnesty. The Catholic Bishops have endorsed amnesty,
followed by various Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, and Episcopal
groups. Most major Jewish groups have also jumped on the amnesty
bandwagon. Last week, National Association of Evangelicals also
came out for amnesty. Lots of churches belong to NAE, including
the Assemblies of God and the Church of the Nazarene, and the
Salvation Army. (Not on board are the Southern Baptists, Mormons,
and others.)
Last week, these religious groups testified before a Senate committee
asking for a "comprehensive" immigration bill with
a mass amnesty, more worker visas, and weak enforcement. We asked
our members to contact their religious groups. We asked members
to say, "Keep politics out of the church. Amnesty is not
our mission." Suddenly, the phones were ringing off the
hook at church headquarters. One major group, The Salvation Army,
issued a statement saying that they did not endorse any immigration
bill.

of the real 33rd degree “Killing of the King” ritual-Brotherhood
of Death-Skull and Bones-Illuminati-New World Order-Chapter 322-Code

- This is a story of information given by my father Samuel
Todd Churchill on his deathbed, concerning the secrets in the
founding of The Mistick Krewe of Comus also called The Mystick
Krewe of Comus—a secret New Orleans Mardi Gras society established
in 1857. In all fairness to my father, in case he took any blood
oaths of secrecy, the information he revealed was done under
heavy medication while dying of a very painful lung cancer disease
inflicted upon him by years of heavy cigarette smoking. However,
in all fairness to myself, I am not under any oaths of secrecy
to any secret organizations. In fact, the information revealed
by my father was contained for many years in a box in the attic.
I never really intended to make this information public until
very recently. It is the secret code numbers that he talked about
that caused me to go to the attic and take out the tape recordings

- THE BLIND EYE AND THE DEAF EAR
July 1, 2009 http://wayoflife.org; The following is excerpted
from Charles Spurgeon's Lectures to My Students:
 Having often said
in this room that a minister ought to have one blind eye and
one deaf ear, I have excited the curiosity of several brethren,
who have requested an explanation; for it appears to them, as
it does also to me, that the keener eyes and ears we have the
better. Well, gentlemen, since the text is somewhat mysterious,
you shall have the exegesis of it.
A part of my meaning is expressed in plain language by Solomon,
in the book of Ecclesiastes (7:21): "Also take no heed unto
all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee."
The margin says, "Give not thy heart to all words that are
spoken"--do not take them to heart or let them weigh with
you, do not notice them, or act as if you heard them.
You cannot stop people's tongues, and therefore the best thing
is to stop your own ears and never mind what is spoken. There
is a world of idle chit- chat abroad, and he who takes note of
it will have enough to do. He will find that even those who live
with him are not always singing his praises, and that when he
has displeased his most faithful servants, they have, in the
heat of the moment, spoken fierce words which it would be better
for him not to have heard. Who has not, under temporary irritation,
said that of another which he has afterwards regretted? It is
the part of the generous to treat passionate words as if they
had never been uttered. When a man is in an angry mood it is
wise to walk away from him, and leave off strife before it be
meddled with; and if we are compelled to hear hasty language,
we must endeavor to obliterate it from the memory, and say with
David, "But I, as a deaf man, heard not. I was as a man
that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs." Tacitus
describes a wise man as saying to one that railed at him, "You
are lord of your tongue, but I am also master of my ears"--you
may say what you please, but I will only hear what I choose.

 GEORGE
WASHINGTON
- September 11, 2009 - Mackey's Revised Encyclopedia of Freemasonry
(1966) clearly shows that Washington's membership in the order
was more than token. Washington was initiated, in 1752, in the
Lodge at Fredericksburg, Virginia, and the records of that Lodge,
still in existence, present the following entries on the subject.
The first entry is thus: "Nov. 4th. 1752. This evening Mr.
George Washington was initiated as an Entered Apprentice,"
receipt of the entrance fec, amounting to £23s., was acknowledged,
F.C. and M.M. March 3 and August 4, 1753. On March 3 in the following
year, "Mr. George Washington" is recorded as having
been passed a Fellow Craft; and on August 4, same year, 1753,
the record of the transactions of the evening states that
White satin Masonic apron emhroidered with Masonic emblems bv
Marquise Lafayette. Gift from General Lafayettc to Georgc Washingron,
1784. (Holy Bible, Red Letter Edition, Masonic Edition, 1960.
) General Lafayette and General Washington shared not only a
close friendship but membership in the Craft, a commonly used
name for Freemasonry. On two occasions General Lafayette presented
Masonic aprons to Washington (see Figure 4). One of these aprons,
embroidered in colored silks by Madame Lafayette, bore the emblems
of the Holy Royal Arch degree. The fact that this apron was especially
made for George Washington has led to much speculation that he
was raised to that degree. This may be of considerable importance,
for the "Royal Arch degree is the salient, spiritual degree
of Freemasonry, not excepting the degree of Master Mason"
(Steinmetz, 1946, 67). Figure 4: Continued: http://www.cephas-library.com/freemasonry_george_washington.html

- PRESIDENT OBAMA SIGNS THE $680 BILLION DEFENSE SPENDING BILL
THAT INCLUDES THE HATE CRIME BILL THAT INCLUDES THE HATE CRIMES
LAW
- Law is attached to $680 billion defense
authorization bill. It is named for Matthew Shepard
and James Byrd Jr., both killed in 1998 - Shepard was gay, Byrd
was African-American - Former President Bush had threatened to
veto a similar measure.
 Washington (CNN) -- President
Obama on Wednesday signed a law that makes it a federal crime
to assault an individual because of his or her sexual orientation
or gender identity.
- The expanded federal hate crimes law, hailed by supporters
as the first major federal gay rights legislation, was added
to a $680 billion defense authorization bill that Obama signed
at a packed White House ceremony.
- The hate crimes measure was named for Matthew Shepard, a
gay Wyoming teenager who died after being kidnapped and severely
beaten in October 1998, and James Byrd Jr., an African-American
man dragged to death in Texas the same year. Shepard's mother,
Judy, was among those at the ceremony that also included Vice
President Joe Biden, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Attorney
General Eric Holder and leading members of Congress and the Pentagon,
who were on hand for the appropriations bill signing. To loud
applause, Obama hailed the hate crimes measure in the bill as
a step toward change to "help protect our citizens from
violence based on what they look like, who they love, how they
pray." Scroll down to video of the signing: Continued: http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/10/28/hate.crimes/index.html
