XV. The Last Drama of the Controversy
The Bible-disobedient church whose power and influence spans the world will soon be handed the throne of human government.
Fearful events are soon to come threatening the very existence of man, paving the way for the final union of church
and state, whose authority will impose on the world’s population a sinful version of religious law. Although
“they know not what they do” their blind aim is to do the bidding of Satan, not the Saviour, Jesus Christ. This
is evident by the rebellious stance the church takes in its suppression of the Holy Law of GOD. The Federal
legislation of sin already dominates American society, and its religious expression is about to unite with this corruption.
The result of this unholy union will legislate a death decree against all who defy joining in the sins of this coming
state-religion, and this will bring the final wrath of GOD upon our world: “the seven plagues” of Revelation 16, ushering
this present world to its abrupt and utter desolation. GOD’S retribution will swiftly usher the extinction
of life. His “fury” will be seen against the leaders and all who surrender their wills to their
legislation forcing all men to share in their sin. The simplicity of Christ’s warning goes unheeded,
even until the end, “ye shall die in your sins.” Jn.8:24.
But at the very moment our planet can no longer support life Jesus Christ will appear. He comes
at the very brink of life’s extinction to rescue all who have lived out the righteousness of GOD’S Sacred Law
in their hearts, from both the living and the dead.
“Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down...the
land shall be utterly emptied and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.” [Why must life on earth come to an end?] “Because
they [the Apostate Christian rulers in charge over the moral affairs
of men] have transgressed the laws [by removing the authority of the Ten Commandments that Christ obeyed unto His death to redeem
the human race], changed the ordinance [altered and removed the Sacred Precepts by removing the 2nd Commandment and supplanting the 4th with pagan sun
worship], broken the everlasting covenant [denied the method GOD ordained for the salvation of man by actually demanding to be saved living
in a life of sin]. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth.” Isa.24:1,3,5,6.
The churches of today will never acknowledge their association with these words describing the heart of their true
character nor the fate of earth’s destruction as a result of their disobedience and abuse of power. On
the contrary, the rulers of Christianity teach that the coming millennial reign of Christ is to usher in a thousand years
of temporal peace for the people of earth and not the thousand-year desolation the Bible prophesies in several unmistakable
passages. The Apostle Paul specifically warned of the time in history when these false assurances of religious
men take hold—when they are given the authority. “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman
with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake
you as a thief.” I Th.5:3,4.
A peace and safety message is being increasingly taught throughout Christendom leading the church into a false sense
of security. False expectations rule in today’s religious society no less than when Jesus walked
among men. By reading the many Bible passages on “the
day of the LORD” you will quickly discover that Christ taught that the millennium of peace for the saints takes
place in heaven, not on the Earth, while this world will be left in darkness and desolation. Said the Savior
so clearly: “In my Father's house are many mansions:
if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you [in heaven]. And
if I go and prepare a
place for you, I will come again [at
the 2nd
Advent], and receive you unto myself [“in the clouds”]; that where I am [with GOD the Father],
there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.” “My kingdom is not of this world:
if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight…but now is my kingdom not from hence.” Jn. 14:2-4; 18:36.
Despite
the grand nature of these words, our religious leaders keep fighting to build the kingdom of this world: a world Christ said
He would have no association with. Therefore, the kingdom of our religious leaders is of this world, not
the Kingdom of Heaven.

2. What is sin?
I John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the

3. Will unrepentant sinners be allowed in heaven?
Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest,

Isaiah 42:21 The LORD is well pleased for His righteousness' sake; ____ _______ _______________
_____ _____ and make it honourable.
James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet ___________ in one point, he is ___________

5. Can we be sure that obedience to the Ten Commandments
is the Standard of Righteousness
for the redeemed of
Jesus Christ?
Matthew 19:16-19 And, behold, one came and said unto Him, Good Master, what good
thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? (v.17) And He said unto him, Why callest thou Me good? there is none good
but One, that is, God: but ____ _______ _______ _______ ______ _______ _______ _____
______________________. He saith unto Him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery,
Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor
as thyself.
It should be noted that the rich young ruler focused his relationship with GOD solely on the admonitions of the first four
Commandments. It was apparent that his upbringing in Judaism was not so observant to the last six Commandments: the
ones that disclose our level of care for one another.
John 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, _______ ____ _______ ___________ _____
__________. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent Him.
6.
Which of the Ten Commandments has the whole world
united to oppose, with the exception Orthodox
Jews and
commandment keeping Christians?
Exodus 20:8-11 _______________ the Sabbath day, to ________ ____ _______. Six days shalt thou
labour, and do all thy work: But _____ ____________ _____ is the Sabbath of _____ ________ _____
_____: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy
cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For ____ _____ ______ the LORD ________ __________
_____ __________, the sea, and all that in them is, and __________ _____ ___________ _____: wherefore
the LORD ___________ the Sabbath day, and _______________ it.
The Law of the Creator/Christ is the
sole reason for the battle of Armageddon. Satan “deceiveth the whole world” to reject not only the Law but
also the Lawgiver, Jesus Christ. And he has accomplished this through the world’s ruling religion
in Rome: the church where men kiss the signet ring of the pope to gain his approbation. The pope has symbolically
taken a hammer and chisel to GOD’S tables of stone, literally fracturing away the Second Commandment altogether, and
cut out the very heart of the Fourth Commandment. The seventh day has been fractured away and other words have been
fraudulently supplanted: the first day, Sunday, written with the finger of man, not “the finger of God” (Ex.31:18).
This is the blasphemy of popery! And the world obeys his command and not Christ’s! To illustrate
the blatant arrogance against Jesus Christ and the Word of GOD, Cardinal Gibbons had this to say on Rome’s authority
to overrule the Ten Commandments: “Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change was her act...This act is a
mark of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters.”
But these are the two commandments that point directly to the LORD Jesus Christ: The Fourth Commandment
points to Christ, declaring His Name, “LORD;” His Title, “God;” His Authority,
“Creator;” and His Domain, “heaven and earth” (Ex.20:8-11). And as the seals of kings throughout
history have always declared their traits of rulership, so the Fourth Commandment, the seventh-day Sabbath (Saturday) is the
Bible’s “seal of GOD” (Rev.9:4). It is the seal of the Christian’s faith
in Christ’s power to redeem His children from both sin and the grave, acknowledging His power as He Himself rightfully
claimed: “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth” (Matt.28:18).
Over 800 verses of the Bible declare Jesus Christ as “the Creator of heaven and earth.” As said before,
only one commandment honors Him as our Creator: the Fourth Commandment. But the world’s dominant churches refuse
to honor Christ as the Creator, and have claimed the authority to remove His Authorship of Creation, and substitute their
own authority, signified by their day of rest: a day that epitomizes the belligerent arrogance of the professing church against
the GOD they claim to serve.
Various arguments outside of Bible guidelines have been given to promote the legitimacy of the pagan Sunday. Among the
leading ones is the question, “How do we know that Saturday today is the same Saturday held by Christ?”
It has been astronomically proven that GOD has preserved the seven day weekly cycle since the dawn of Creation. Calendar
adjustments have been made but this never interfered with the flow of days. So the seventh-day Sabbath today is the
same seventh-day Sabbath held by Adam, Moses, and Jesus (Gen.2:1-3; Lu.4:16; Heb.4:8-12). GOD even assures of its eternal
significance in the earth made new: “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make...it shall come to
pass, that…from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me,
saith the LORD.” Isa.66:22,23. In summation, Christ kept Holy the Sabbath day, and we are called “to walk
even as He walked.” It doesn’t get any simpler than that.
The other Commandment that Rome has completely fractured from GOD’S Ten Commandment Law is the Second Commandment.
This exquisitely perfect Law points to Jesus Christ as the Source of all “mercy” for “them,” GOD said,
“that love me, and keep my commandments.” Ex.20:6; That “mercy,” revealed in the Second Commandment
could only be granted through the greatest event of all eternity: the day “the LORD our Maker” laid down His life
on the Cross of Calvary. Jesus directs us to the Second Commandment when He said, “If ye love Me, keep My commandments.”
Jn.14:15. Every verse of Scripture ascribing man’s love for GOD directs us to the Second Commandment! The Vatican
is proven by their disregard of this Law to have no true love for Him, for true love is evidenced through humble obedience
to “all His commandments” (Ps.111:7). Not eight! Not nine! But ten!
The traditional Catholic Catechism of church doctrine verifies
their contemptible sins against GOD’S Law. By removing the Second Commandment this made the third the second, the fourth
the third, the fifth the fourth, and so on. In order to deceive the world by maintaining the same number
they divided the tenth into two:
IX. “Thou
shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife.”
X. “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s goods.”
The 10th Commandment that forbids coveting anything that does not belong to you covers all covetousness.
Rome’s version of GOD’S Law is ludicrous, and obviously defiant against GOD. That any
Bible believing Christian would give the Roman priesthood any praise is absurd! But this illustrates the
power of Satan to blind the mind. If John the Baptist were alive today he would say to the Roman priesthood
what he said to the Pharisees, “O generation of vipers…”
7. What
did Jesus say of those who lead others to disobey
the Ten Commandments of GOD?
Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore
shall break one of these least [Greek definition, lesser] commandments, and _______
__________ ______ ____, he shall be called the _________ [Greek definition, insignificant—or unworthy] in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them,
the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
8. What about church ministers and members who
innocently did not know
they were violating GOD'S holy
commandments, but who would have readily kept the 2nd
and 4th commandments
if given the proper knowledge?
Numbers 15:27,28 And if any soul
sin through ignorance, then he [the sinner]
shall bring a she goat of the first year
for a sin offering. And the priest [representing Jesus Christ] shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly,
when he sinneth by ignorance, before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; ______ ____ ________ ____
______________ ______.
Acts 17:30
And the times of this ignorance ______ ___________ ____; but now commands _____ _______ everywhere
____ ____________.
This is another precious aspect of the accredited righteousness of Jesus Christ to the whole of mankind. All ignorant
sins are covered and therefore forgiven through the holy history of Christ Who carried every sin to the Cross. This
applies to all nations through all time: that those who lived up to the light of their conscience as led by the convicting
power of the Holy Spirit will be raised to life.
9. Will an irreversible rejection of GOD'S Holy Law keep the
professing Christian from
“The Kingdom of GOD?”
Numbers 15:29-31 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both
for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them. (v.30) But the soul that
doeth __________ ________________________, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD;
and ______ _______ ________ ____ ______ ______ from among his people. (v.31) Because he hath
_____________ the word of the LORD, and hath ____________ _____ ______________________, that soul shall utterly
be cut off, his iniquity shall be upon him.
10. What
is the mindset of those who refuse to obey Christ's
guidelines for salvation, even
those who profess serving
Him?
Luke 19:14 But his citizens _________ _____ and sent a message after him,
saying, _____ ______ ______ _________ ________ ______ ____ ____________ ________
_____.
11. What is the clearest assurance that the seventh-day
Sabbath
is a part of GOD'S Everlasting Law?
Isaiah 66:22,23 For as the _____ _____________ and the _____ __________ which I will make,
shall remain before Me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one
new moon to another, and _______ _____ ____________ ____ ____________ shall _____ __________
________ to worship before Me, saith the LORD.
Psalm 111:7,8 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; _____ _____ _____________________
_____ ________. _______ _________ _______ _____ ________ _____ ________, and are
done in truth and uprightness.
Hebrews
4:3-9 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into
_____ ________: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. (v.4) For he spake in a certain
place of the seventh day on this wise, And _____ _____ _________ _____ ____________
_____ from all his works. (v.5) And in this place again, If they shall _________ into my rest. (v.6) Seeing therefore
it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in ____________ ____
____________: Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye
will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken
of another day. [v.9] There remaineth therefore a _______ [Greek word, Sabbath] to the people
of God.
12. What
will be the result when the Religious leaders in the
United States enact into national
law the pope's age-old
decree exalting Sunday sacredness above GOD'S “holy
day” (Isa.58:13,14)?
Psalm 119:126 It is time for Thee, LORD, ____ _______: for _______ _______ _______
_______ _____ _____.
Psalm 94:20, 21 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
They gather themselves together _________ the soul of ____ ______________, and ___________ the ____________ blood.
Jeremiah 18:9,10 And at what
instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; If it do evil in my sight,
that it obey not My voice, then ___ _____ __________ ____ _____ ________, wherewith I said I
would benefit them.
(Verses
15-17) Because My people hath forgotten Me, they have burned incense ____ __________, and they have caused them to stumble
in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up; (v.16) To make their land _____________, and
a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head. (v.17) I will scatter them as with
an east wind, before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of _______ _____________.
Herein lies the great threat that
will come to the civilization of sinful men. Revelation 7:1-3 warns of the turmoil that will result from
the legislation of the spurious Sabbath of Rome. The Bible’s lessons of GOD’S judgments against
sin are our only resource to have correct expectations as to what will befall the Earth in the end of time.
13. How
will the church respond when this country quickly
goes to ruin due to this apostasy
imposed by our
religious leaders?
I Kings 18:17,18 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah,
that Ahab said unto him, _____ _______ _____ ________ ________________ _________? And he answered,
I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and
thou hast followed Baalim.
John 11:50
Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man ___________ _____ _____ _____ ____________,
and that the whole nation __________ _____.
Revelation 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should
both speak, and _________ that as many as would _____ _____________ the image of the beast ___________ ____
___________.
14. What is the work of GOD'S people during this time?
Isaiah 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like
a trumpet, and show my people _______ _____________, and the house of Jacob ________ ______.
Throughout Israel’s
history the message of GOD’S servants was unwelcome, for it warned of the eventual destruction of the nation and its
people. The prophets were martyred, the righteous taunted, the humble taken advantage of, and the poor were denied the
basic provisions for their essential comfort and survival. But the character of the
voice of the prophets was not void of the Spirit of GOD, nor did they speak with a harsh tone void of GOD’S compassion
and hope for those being warned.
But the epitome of the world’s rejection of GOD is found in the life of Jesus
Christ. His character, voice and face reflected heaven’s love for man. Despite His perfect demonstration of GOD’S
love for His children they crucified Him. And so it will be for the saints as Jesus said, “If they
have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.” Jn.15:20.
Revelation 18:1-5 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power
and the earth was lightened with his glory. (v.2) And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, ____________ _____
_________ ____ _________, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit,
and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. (v.3) For _____ ___________ have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication, and _____ _________ of the earth have committed fornication with her, and _____ _______________ of
the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, ________
______ ____ ______ _____ ____________, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not
of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and GOD hath remembered her iniquities.
15.
What is the first of GOD'S judgments
to befall men,
giving the alarm of His displeasure, from people
choosing greed & murder over eternal life with Him?
Amos 2:2 But I will ________ ____ _______ upon Moab, and it shall ___________
_____ ______________ of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
In the opening chapters of the book of Amos, GOD prophesied that destruction by fire is a fitting judgment for those whose
wealth is solely devoted to selfish ends. This fire, as the tool of Satan’s destruction (Job 1:16; Rev.13:13) is sent
to the “palaces” of the wealthy. For their cruel indifference to the needs of suffering humanity GOD says
is “a smoke in My nose.” Isa.65:5. GOD will also send his judgment of fire to the business districts of
the cities, which are subservient to those CEO’s whose greed is demonically feverish and insatiable. While the
rich tend to their posh objectives during this time, GOD in Christ will be pleading through His faithful servants the last
message and appeal of the Gospel of Salvation “to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people.” Rev.14:6. This is the final warning, deciding forever the eternal fate for every living man, woman and child: a fate the
Bible defines as “the mark of the beast,” and “the seal of God.”
16. What is “the mark of the beast” that GOD warns the
human race to
avoid at all cost?
Ezekiel
8:14-18 Then He brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD's house which was toward the north; and, behold,
there sat women weeping for Tammuz. Then said He unto me, Hast thou seen this, 0 son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou
shalt see greater abominations than these. (v.16) And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house, and behold,
at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward
the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they __________________ ______ ______ toward the
east. Then He said unto me, Hast thou seen this, 0 son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit
the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke Me to anger:
and, lo, they put the branch to their nose [a profane act of defiance]. Therefore
will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in Mine ears with a loud
voice, yet will I not hear them.
The worship of Tammuz goes all the way back to the age of the
tower of Babel and Nimrod, the world’s first king (ca. 2200 B.C.): a time when GOD had to come down and prevent
the sinful unification of men by taking their single language and creating a variety of languages, thus creating confusion
in their efforts to unify in their sinful objectives. (And this division of languages remains to this day.)
GOD’S purpose was to prevent the global unification of men choosing to live in the free expression of sin (even while
their father Noah was still alive and “the Christ” had not yet come to die for their sins).
Among their sins was Sunday sacredness
whose origin is found in the life of Nimrod, who, ancient legend says, ascended to the sun after he died. This inaugurated
both sun worship and Sunday sacredness. After his death, Nimrod’s widow, Samurais, became pregnant. She
publically asserted the fairytale that Nimrod descended from the sun and divinely impregnated her. Her son, “Tammuz,”
was declared the son of the sun god, Nimrod. Throughout history, and in nearly every culture, Samurais and Tammuz have
been worshiped as the Madonna and Child.
Many centuries later, in the days when the land of Judah was being destroyed (5th Century B.C.), Samurais was heralded
as “the queen of heaven” (Jer.7:18, 44:17). This ancient cult of Satanism led the nation to
ruin. And now, in our day we see the same satanic ritual in the Christian church. As
this pervert religion brought the destruction of both Israel and Judah, so it will bring destruction to us in our generation;
for the Roman Catholic Church declares the Virgin Mary as today’s counterpart to Samurais, being heralded as “Mary,
Queen of the Universe,” having temples bearing this very name.
The traditions of Nimrod/sun worship can be found in every ancient culture and continent of earth. Throughout history,
Nimrod, the sun god, received various names, but the day of his religious observance never changed: Sunday. In the age
of the kings of Israel, the sun gods of "Molech," "Baalim," and "Tammuz," corrupted the sanctuary
service that GOD commanded through His servant Moses. These sins of paganism, adopted by Israel’s priesthood drove
“the LORD” from His mercy seat in the temple, forcing His permanent departure from the sanctuary, as described
in Ezekiel, chapters 10-11. Slowly, “the LORD” departed. Step by step He left, never to return—not
until the birth of “Emmanuel.”
The same disobedience that drove GOD from the sanctuary,
which led to their nation’s destruction, is being repeated today by the world’s last superpower, The United States
of America, who serves the religion of Rome. In essence, “Protestant America” serves the purposes of Rome
to evangelize the world to live a life perpetuating sin. And their goal, when accomplished, will ultimately impose their
iniquitous religion on every man, woman and child. The last decree of sinful man to the people of Earth
is simply this: “You cannot live in this world
unless you join with us in sin” (Rev.13:15).
Keep one thing in mind: “The
wrath of God” has always been the removal of His Presence. This is confirmed by His words: “Woe also to
them when I depart from them!” Hos.9:12. Jesus never stays where He is not wanted, just as He left the country
of the Gergesenes when asked to leave (Matt.8:34-9:1). This eventual destruction of the Roman church was guaranteed when their
paganized Christianity adopted the rest day of the Roman god Attis and overruled the seventh-day Sabbath upheld by Jesus Christ
(Lu.4:16; Jn.8:58). Before the rise of the pagan Roman empire this same sun-god was called Mithra in the Persian empire,
whose day of rest, Sunday, was called “the lord’s day.” (See also I Cor.10:11.)
