CHRIST DESIRES YOU IN HEAVEN, WITH HIM.
But there is one condition:
that you leave Satan’s confusion in this life.
Simple.
**********************
This can only be done after you have made the decision to find that real Christ who created you: and yes indeed, that real Christ who you shall meet on Judgment Day!
Just how do you find that real Christ, who lives in Heaven? By learning His commands and then following His commands.
Follow?
Yes, because they will lead you to Heaven!
Heaven is His Home. And His door is open to “some.”
Some? Only some? Seriously?
**********************************************************
From Christ’s parable of the “ten virgins:”
Matthew 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Matthew 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Matthew 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Only Satan, and his Christian pastors, want every person to believe that Christ’s “door” is open to all: “everybody goes to Heaven! Isn’t that wonderful?”
Scripture teaches us: “Isn’t that one of Satan’s best lies ever?”
Oh, my dearest Christian friends . . . if you have never read your Bible, you will never be able to see Satan’s confusion (his Babylon) in this world! This author apologizes for digressing so early in this letter. Please continue.
**********************************************************
This letter shall describe just one path to Christ. There are a few others, but they all begin with learning the Word of God and they all end “the day after” Judgement Day, in Heaven.
**********************************************************
FINALLY . . . FINDING CHRIST!
AND ONE WAY TO DO IT.
**********************************************************
One way is to go to a sabbath keeping church:
AFTER OBTAINING A BIBLE AND READING IT A BIT.
Because there are a lot of BAD churches out there!
Straight is the way and narrow is the path to Christ.
Never let any denomination tell you that they follow that narrow path.
(Because they will all tell you this, even on Sunday! Simple.)
None of this comes down to any denomination.
All of this is a personal choice that every person must make:
to decide, for their self, that “this church” follows the narrow path.
Even a great many sabbath keeping pastors fail Christ!
How? By just “sitting on the Gospel” and doing nothing about it.
(Christ Designed His Gospels to be “put to work!”)
For His Gospels only show the incredible value of His prior commands.
We shall explain this a bit later in this letter.
**********************************************************
Given this . . . there are many sabbath keeping churches across this world. You can find one fairly close to your home at this link:
https://biblesabbath.org/find-a-church/
(link opens in a new window)
To be honest, this author has never been a member of any of these churches. This author has examined many of their websites and has noticed a recurring theme. They all strive to keep all of Christ’s Ten Commandments and as many of Christ’s other commands as is practical today. There are even a few who still keep Christ’s commanded Feasts: this is rare today. And yes, each of those feasts were commanded to be kept either, “for ever” or “throughout your generations.”
(This author placed those words in quotations for a reason. You can go to Biblegateway.com and do a word search using the KJV Bible only. The King James writers used the term “for ever” rather than “forever.” If you put the space in the search box, you will find, quickly, where all seven of Christ’s Feasts were commanded either to be kept for ever or throughout your generations. Either way, it means FOREVER.)
Or you can just go to Exodus 12:14, Exodus 12:17, Leviticus 23:21, Leviticus 23:14, Leviticus 23:2, Leviticus 23:31, AND FINALLY Leviticus 23:41. Those are seven Scriptural references for our keeping Christ’s seven commanded Holy Feasts forever.
Yes, some of these feasts are difficult to keep here in these modern days. Most city folks have no idea where to even find a live lamb, let alone process it, and then roast it. But you can still keep the Passover holy there in your own home, every year. Christ will understand. But Christ will also understand if you are out partying all night on His Day of Atonement. (You shall learn the seriousness of this Day once you start reading your Bible.) The Day of Atonement is the only Feast that requires fasting: it is a very somber day. Paul mentioned this fast, long after Jesus died, in Acts 27:9. This author apologizes for digressing.
As this author has stated on other pages here, once you leave Satan’s confusion (today’s Babylon, which is Christ’s description of today’s Christian faith!) you have already taken your most important step. Everything shall get easier from here, as long as you do not look back. The reason you cannot look back is because Satan has purposely made his confusion (Babylon) look good to mankind. (We like effortless things, we like what we are accustomed to, and Satan knows this: his goal is to make all of us just sit back and relax on his long black train that carries us to hell. And quite sadly, Satan is winning today.) If you have never read your Bible, Christ sent angels to Sodom and Gomorrah to save Lot and his wife. Lot was the nephew of Abraham. While being instructed to leave, Lot’s entire family was commanded to not look back. (Genesis 19:17) But Lot’s wife did look back, yearning for that comfortable life she had grown accustomed to, even if it was an evil place. (Just like every Sunday keeping Christian of today. We are comfortable with our Sundays; we are accustomed to our Sundays.) When she looked back, she was transformed into a pillar of salt: dead to Christ. (Genesis 19:26) Remember Lot’s wife. When you depart from Babylon (Satan’s confusion!), it will look good if you look back: yearning for that same life she thought she loved. But here is the amazing part! From that point forward, Lot’s life only got better! Lot’s daughters’ lives only got better! Better? Yes, because they were not “dead to Christ!” This is how Christ works! Christ does not bless people who live in constant sin. (Oh, good things do happen, randomly, every day and you will often hear folks giving God the credit. No, this is another lie that Satan has all Christians believing. This author is not denying that Christ does perform some miracles in this world, but they are according to His Will only.)
Regarding those sabbath keeping churches at the link above, they all have “Contact Us” email addresses. So contact them! They can’t wait for your email to arrive. Explain yourself. Ask them if they obey Christ’s Old Testament commands such as forbidding homosexuality, adultery, murder (abortion), graven images inside their churches, etc. Ask them about faith and works. (Hint: both are equal in Christ’s Eyes. If you fail either one, you fail both. Christ is a “package deal” and on His Judgment Day, He will only present those who are that same “package deal” to His Father. If any church tells you they place more emphases on “faith,” then remove that church from your list because by itself, faith is easy: faith is effortless. Christ requires that we prove our faith to Him by way of our works: just as He did when He came here using that earthly body of Jesus. Simple. This is just one way you “put Christ’s Gospels to work!”) Ask them when they meet on Saturdays and attend a few of their services. They will be delighted to see new faces.
The choice is yours, my friend. This author’s personal opinion is that he would choose one close to home (if they passed your “quick test.”). Then you have new friends who live nearby. Friends are important and make us stronger in times of trouble. (This author freely admits that he is pretty old and does not understand this online worshiping he keeps hearing about. This author does not know how to use Facebook. This old author could be wrong on this one, quite honestly.) Once you start attending a church you must now begin to observe just how obedient that church is to Christ’s commands. Again, you will never know what Christ’s commands even are if you have never picked up a Bible and read it all the way through. All churches are not equal. Even more so, all pastors are not equal: even amongst sabbath keeping pastors. (Christ has shown this author that Truth.) One of this world’s Sunday keeping pastors’ most common remarks is that “we don’t follow that particular doctrine in this church.” Growing up, this author frequently heard this in his Catholic church: even priests disobey their mother church, and do so frequently.
Please remember one more thing. There is no perfect church anywhere in this world, so do not expect to find the perfect church. Just attend it and if they are reasonably obedient, then join that church and make it better by your presence. (Quite honestly, and quite sadly, there are many Laws and ordinances of Christ that cannot be legally kept today. Christ understands this great failure of mankind.) If they do not keep this or that particular command of Christ, such as His Feasts, then know that you can keep that command in your personal life, at home: in the best way that is legally possible. But if they break any of Christ’s Ten Commandments, then run away as fast as you can. (Quite honestly, this author does not believe you will find this problem in ANY of the churches found in that link, provided above. WHY? Because they all understand the following words of Christ!)
Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
HINT: Has this earth passed away yet? No it has not! Your pastors teach you that the law is either dead, or hung on the cross, but Christ just said otherwise! (Don’t miss our next two hints.)
Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
HINT: Do our Sunday keeping pastors of today teach mankind to break the Fourth Commandment? Yes, they do! So then, what shall they be called in the kingdom of heaven? (Don’t miss our last hint here because this is the big one.)
Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
HINT: Any Christian can safely substitute the term, “Sunday keeping pastors” above for “scribes and Pharisees” and then see just how Christ feels about this world’s Sunday keeping pastors! And according to Christ’s words here, one can see the high percentage of how many Sunday keeping Christians might “in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
Those are not this author’s words! They are the Word of God!
Listen to Christ my friends! His is the ONLY WAY!
**********************************************************
Now . . . “sitting on the Gospel.”
We shall try to keep this brief so we can get back to the good parts about joining a “truly” good church. (And therein lies the rub for this author regarding many sabbath keeping pastors: for there are many who truly desire to maintain a “good” church for Christ, but for some reason, STUBBORNLY REFUSE TO LEAVE MUCH OF SATAN’S CONFUSION.)
At the dinner table, most folks naturally prefer their dessert over their meat, potatoes, and vegetables. This all starts when we are children and it does not really get better with age. (Obviously, we are not talking about food here, just now.)
Christ’s MAIN COURSE for mankind is His commands. If you are new to this website, Christ’s commands include His Ten Commandments, His Laws, His statutes, His ordinances, His Feasts, and His other various commands: some of which came through Jesus, in the Gospels. Such as:
John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
**********************
Below, is just one example, followed by how all Sunday pastors (and many sabbath keeping pastors) just “sit on the Gospel,” and never “put it to work.”
This is Christ speaking to Moses:
Leviticus 18:26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
Leviticus 18:27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled)
Now, this author could write an entire letter about just these two verses, but that is not why they were placed here. If any pastor (including sabbath keepers) teaches you that ANYTHING was hung on the cross, leave that pastor immediately. (We shall get to Paul’s words shortly.) If any pastor (including sabbath keepers) teaches you that Christ’s Feasts were hung on the cross, leave that pastor immediately. If they tell you that they do not observe the Feasts, but do well with all other commands, then stay, and know that you can keep the Feasts in your own home, if you desire. (More on this shortly.) Most importantly, if any pastor teaches you that you are not your brother’s keeper, then consider Christ’s words above: “nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:”. While it is not required that you “fix the entire world,” it is required that you guard your personal life and those who you permit into your life. This includes your friends and any who you associate with. If any of your “friends” live evil lives (we all sin!), then make sure they do not remain your friends. Simple. Christ teaches this is how you keep Satan (and especially his confusion!) out of your life. Christ teaches this is how you keep Satan (and his confusion), “most especially,” out of your children’s lives. But do not look down on these folks at all, because it is entirely possible that by the time you each die, that other person might have done better than you did, in Christ’s Eyes. Seriously. It’s possible. So be respectful toward them. If it is a work environment, be courteous and professional: and take care of business. One day they might ask you why you do not associate with them anymore. Now, is your chance to show them your testimony regarding Christ. After this, allow them to digest Christ’s Word and make their own decisions, just like you did.
JUST A FUNNY SIDE NOTE by this author: Long ago, when this author was in college, his Catholic mother told him, “you cannot take your next breath without God’s permission!” Well, this author, being about 21 years old, thought about that for a moment and took two quick breaths just to check the validity of her words. Nearly 50 years later, that lesson still haunts this author! Because she was right.
One can never know what the seeds of today shall grow into, later in life!
This author apologizes for digressing here. Let us return to “sitting on the Gospel.”
**********************
PAUL!
Regarding Paul’s infamous words in Colossians 2:14, which, thanks to Satan, our pastors have bent, twisted, abused, counterfeited, and otherwise soiled, in the name of Jesus’ death on that cross!
Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Paul was referring to those few ordinances that commanded certain practices of the high priest and also the maintenance of the Temple and its Holy of Holies. That is all Paul was teaching! Any ordinances regarding the high priest and the temple truly are contrary to Christians! Because we do not have a high priest, nor do we have a Temple! Simple. How do we know this? The answer is found in another letter Paul wrote about ten years earlier.
1 Corinthians 11:2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
My dearest friends, any pastor who teaches you that anything was hung on the cross only teaches this because they find many of Christ’s commands “inconvenient” to their way of life, in today’s world. They also find it quite comfortable (and lazy) when they can just “sit on the Gospel:” never applying it to Christ’s prior commands.
Did you read, anywhere above . . . that any Commandments were hung on the cross? Any Feasts? Any Laws? Any Statutes? Yet our Christian pastors of today DESIRE that everything was hung on the cross! That way, they can just SIT on the Gospel and literally do nothing but teach “feel good” Christianity. This author calls it “dessert.” (Perhaps “Cotton Candy Christianity” would be a better term.) Try to live only eating your desserts and see how your health deteriorates. We are also talking about your spiritual health here.
Cotton Candy Christianity is Satan’s confusion and will never get any person to Heaven! Indeed, it will only ROT YOUR SOUL! (Revelation 14:4)
**********************
The entire point of this section was that Christ requires you to remain obedient and this includes your children, your spouse, any who live in your home, and any who visit your home as friends or guests. It is actually quite easy and requires little effort.
**********************************************************
**********************************************************
**********************************************************
While Christ’s main course is those commands which He desires you to build your life around (in order to nourish you), a great many pastors skip all of Christ’s commands and go straight to His Dessert. This will be difficult because Christ’s Dessert (our eternity) is found in our Gospels, so we shall spend a little time on this.
THEY COMPLETELY IGNORE CHRIST’S MAIN COURSE: HIS COMMANDS. There are more than a few sabbath keeping pastors who teach that only the Ten Commandments are still in effect, but Jesus used the word “commands:” REALLY?
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
That word, “commanded” is found in Strong’s concordance as “G1781” and it means “ordered.” (Link opens in a new window)
Is it possible that Jesus did not understand the difference between His commands and His Commandments? The answer is a resounding NO!
Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
That word “commandments” is found in Strong’s concordance as “G1785” and it means “a commandment.” (Link opens in a new window)
QUITE CLEARLY, Christ understood the difference between these two words, but many pastors, today, do not. And since Christ tied this word “commanded” to His Gift of baptism, could it be that these pastors are not baptized in the Eyes of Christ? We have a page here regarding this issue. It is titled, “The Other Baptism.”
Again, this author has heard many sabbath keeping pastors teach that only Christ’s Ten Commandments are a part of Matthew 28:20 above. They never teach the other commands of Christ! And this is how a pastor serves only Christ’s desserts, rather than the entirety of His main course: meaning ALL OF HIS COMMANDS. Looking at Christ’s Ten Commandments simplistically, they are mostly, “Thou shalt not, thou shalt not.” Looking at Christ’s hundreds of other commands, they are mostly, “Thou shalt, thou shalt.” For instance, “So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.” (Deuteronomy 17:7)
Christ’s Ten Commandments, by themselves, will get no person to Heaven. We still must live that life which gets our name written in Christ’s Book of Life, found in Revelation. A lot of pastors will strongly disagree with that, but consider this: a homosexual can obey all of the Ten Commandments and believe they are going to Heaven. But no homosexual can obey Christ’s commands! For Christ’s commands call for their being sentenced to death. And after this, Christ shall judge them one day: not this author.

**********************************************************
Enough of sabbath keeping churches’ faults.
This author has plenty of his own faults, as do most readers here. But this author wanted to show the importance of finding a good church. There are many out there, but just because you walk through the door of your closest church, does not mean that you found the right church. Just because the pastor is a very nice person does not mean that you have found a church that will keep you out of Satan’s confusion (Babylon): there are a LOT of nice people lost in Babylon, today! This author has listed a great many criteria, above, to help any person decide if they are in the right church: not “a church” which makes them feel good, but “the right church” where they will learn about being obedient to Christ! Once you conquer the obedience part with Christ, NOW you can truly enjoy His desserts which He has laid before you. And they shall taste better than ever because you know Christ is now with you. (Matthew 28:20 above)
So many sabbath keeping pastors teach the easy (and “feel good”) parts of the Bible; and all of that is great. All of that is correct. Except for one thing! If you are not obeying Christ’s commands (Matthew 28:20 again), then resting upon all of that “feel good” stuff is only Satan’s confusion (Babylon)! If you are trying to “develop a ”relationship” with Christ, but are not putting evils out of your life, not obeying His clean and unclean meats law, not following His Commandment regarding graven images, then you are fooling yourself! Yes, building a relationship with Christ can be a good thing, but not if you are lying to yourself. If you are taught that Christ shall nurture you through your difficulties, but are not putting forth the efforts to cast all evils out of your life, not obeying His clean and unclean meats law, not following His Commandment regarding graven images, then you are fooling yourself! Yes, Christ will nurture some (and those “some” can see that they have that “hedge of Job 1:10” around them), but He will not nurture those who are lying to their self.
You can lie to yourself, but you cannot lie to Christ!
Satan can ill-afford any Christian obeying Christ’s commands. Any Christian who is not observing Christ’s commands has been blinded by Satan’s confusion in this world.
Keeping Christ’s Sabbath, in and of itself, will get no person to Heaven!
This is what this author means by the term “sitting on the Gospel.” A great many pastors do this! Even some sabbath keeping pastors.
This is Christ speaking to Moses:
Leviticus 18:26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
Leviticus 18:27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled)
Many pastors teach, “Oh, we don’t have to do that anymore.”
Really?
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
AUTHOR’S NOTE: These two verses are one complete sentence, from start to finish. Obeying only verse 19 is “sitting on the Gospel.” Obeying verse 20, below, is “laboring for the LORD.” Amen.
Reading verse 19 sure can make a Christian feel good about their faith. Verse 20 is a wake-up call. This is all one sentence here! You cannot break a sentence in half and claim that you are following Christ!
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: All of Christ’s great Gifts come with a requirement on our part. In this case, Christ is saying that if we observe all of His commands, then He will be with us forever. If we do nothing, then He does nothing. Simple. Very few Christian pastors teach this Truth of God: and quite sadly, this includes a significant portion of our sabbath keeping pastors.
**********************************************************
**********************************************************
Oh, my dearest Christian friends . . . if you desire to find a good church, know that this is an outstanding way to find Christ. This is an excellent way to improve your life. Having friends who are like-minded is a gift that should never be taken for granted. Solomon wrote that a three-fold cord is not easily broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
Ecclesiastes 4:12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
This world of today truly is broken and Solomon truly was a wise person.
When you do ever find a church, know that your work has only begun. Listen to your pastor’s words and consider them greatly. Does anything in your Bible disagree with their words? Are you even reading your Bible so that you know what Christ teaches? Pastors are not perfect, so do not place your eternal life in their hands. A good pastor knows that they cannot get any person to Heaven, on their own. All they can really do is to feed Christ’s sheep by way of Christ’s Words. They can point you in the right direction, but you are required to take your own steps! A good pastor understands this and teaches accordingly. A bad pastor just wants you to, “Be like me. Do this and don’t do that. Eat what I eat, don’t eat meat, don’t drink wine, don’t listen to rock and roll, etc., etc., etc. Be like me.” Is any of this found in Scripture? Here is what this author finds in Scripture:
Jesus’ first miracle was turning water into wine. (John 2:7) It was not “grape juice!” There were no grapes in Israel at the time of that wedding. Christ commanded Moses to consume meat (a lamb) on the Passover. (Exodus 12:8 – 9) Christ, Himself, served the Hebrews quail, there in the desert. (Exodus 16:12 – 15). Jesus, himself, served wine at The Last Supper (Matthew 26:27 – 29), and Jesus said they would all be drinking wine when they ever meet in Heaven someday. (Matthew 26:29) Perhaps our pastors should spend more time quoting actual Scriptures than trying to teach people to live like they do. Satan is quite satisfied when our pastors stop teaching Scriptures because he can ill-afford having Christians actually learning, and obeying, Christ’s Scriptures. But regarding our pastors teaching their own vanities and their own expectations of Christ? “Oh yea, Satan loves that!” Satan loves ANY NONSENSE (confusion, or Babylon!) that keeps people from learning the true Word of God. It does not matter if those pastors keep the sabbath, or not. (Hint: this author always chooses and places his words very carefully.)
Think about all of this and understand that your ETERNAL EXISTENCE in Heaven is where this all leads. No pastor will ever teach this openly, but on Judgment Day, they will not be allowed to answer Christ’s questions to you when you stand before Him and He opens His Book to your page. It will be just you and Christ. He calls it The Inevitable Hour and it is a part of every person’s future: there is no escape.
Our next letter shall be how many pastors of today counterfeit, soil, scatter, and alter the Word of God so that it then satisfies their personal beliefs and vanities: even if those personal beliefs are wrong! (Such as Sunday worship.) And then they teach their lies as if they came from Christ, Himself. How sad. (Do you remember Christ’s Third Commandment? Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD in vain. Any pastor who is teaching their personal lies and vanities, CLAIMING that they are Scriptural or came from our LORD, has taken our LORD’s name in vain!)
**********************************************************
**********************************************************
**********************************************************
**********************************************************
**********************************************************
Below, are two very important considerations for all Christians!
Christ’s remnant church!
In prophecy, the term “woman” always means a church. In Revelation, Christ describes two “women.” Chapter 12 describes Christ’s good woman (or good church). Chapter 17 describes Christ’s bad woman (the great whore and her harlots), meaning nearly all Christians of today: and particularly meaning EVERY Sunday keeping Christian of today.
Know that the term “remnant church” is found nowhere in the Bible! This is a term created by Bible scholars. And they are correct, by the way: this author just wanted it known that this has never been a Scriptural term. All Bible scholars use that term “remnant church” to describe that good “woman” of Revelation, chapter 12. When Christ returns to this world, soon, his remnant church shall be the ONLY Christians who are still following Christ’s teachings: meaning all of His commands! And there shall not be very many of them! Let us be clear here: no Sunday keeping Christian qualifies as being a part of Christ’s remnant church! (Yes, this author uses only the Fourth Commandment to illustrate this Truth of God, but only because it is the easiest failure for us to observe: also, it is the greatest of all Christian failures today. If any sabbath keeping Christian fails to keep Christ’s other commands, they do not qualify either! This is quite important also.)
The main problem here is that every Christian pastor wrongly claims that their church is Christ’s remnant church! Why would they do this with no Scriptural references to support them? They make this claim because of all of the hard work they believe they have invested into that church. Seriously, that is all they have to cling to here, Scripturally! They pay no heed to their obedience to Christ’s Ten Commandments (well documented here on this website), Christ’s Laws, Christ’s statutes, Christ’s ordinances, nor any of Christ’s other commands sent down to this world. They teach all of their members that they belong to Christ’s remnant church simply because they desire to be Christ’s remnant church: and they do so having done NOTHING to separate themselves from all other Christian churches which Satan controls! Simple.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Regarding those sabbath keeping churches found at the link supplied at the beginning of this letter, they have done at least SOMETHING to separate themselves from Satan’s evils found in today’s Christianity. They are not perfect: they do have their lesser flaws.
**********************
It should be noted here that nowhere in Scripture, does Christ ever state that His remnant church shall come out of one building, one congregation, one denomination, nor even out of just one religion! Those words are just not there. Ask your pastors for Scriptural references (that are not merely symbolic) and when they cannot supply these clear-cut Scriptures, run away from this pastor who teaches their own personal nonsense. READ REVELATION, CHAPTER 12! It is a fairly short chapter, only 17 verses long: you can read it in about two or three minutes. The first thing that jumps out at this author is that Christ’s remnant church is not a part of Babylon: referring to Revelation, chapter 17. Babylon means “Satan’s confusion.” That church of Revelation, chapter 12, accepts no part of Satan’s deceptions in this world! The second thing that jumps out at this author is that in verse 6, they were observant enough to FLEE from Satan’s confusion in this world. Christ did not tell them to flee. No angel told them to flee. And because they had the wherewithal to actually do something about Christ’s Gospels and Satan’s confusion, our “all-knowing” Christ had a place prepared for them and assured that they would at least be fed. (They will not escape the troubles that follow, but they shall be nourished. There is no rapture!) All of this can only mean that these folks physically REJECT Satan’s lies, they physically REJECT those pastors who follow Satan’s confusion, and they physically REJECT any teachings which deny any of Christ’s commands sent to this world. They are following Christ and His teachings! REJECT? Well, they left and they never looked back! Remember Lot’s wife.
Also, it should also be noted here that nowhere in Scripture, does Christ ever state that His remnant church shall only be comprised of Christians! (Yes, this author did state this, just above, but only because Christians shall be the bulk of Christ’s remnant church. This shall all be illustrated next, when we get to Christ’s elect). This is another great failure of Christian pastors today: a great self-centered and self-serving failure that was designed by Satan! And it is found nowhere in Scripture. Imagine that! Christians claiming the God of this entire universe, just for themselves. Everyone else is going to hell. And where did this nonsense come from? Satan.
So what do Christ’s Scriptures teach about His remnant church? His teachings come from a very small, but very important, book in Christ’s Older Testament: a book which Satan has taught our pastors to never teach. Why? Because that book shines a light upon his efforts within the Christian faith, and upon his efforts here in these last days! This author shall present the short version here because this letter is getting long.
MALACHI
Very few Christians understand the Book of Malachi because no Christian pastor can properly teach it. So, all pastors ignore this book entirely. Why? Because the Book of Malachi shines Christ’s Light upon their current and absolute failures here in these last days. Always remember that the Old Testament came from Christ, our Creator. The New Testament came from Christ, our Creator. The Book of Malachi is the final, and closing, book of His Old Testament. Our Creator was to now stay out of this world for a period of time, and then see how mankind would do with the wealth of His Scriptures. The Book of Malachi is Christ’s Farewell to this world, until He would return as Emmanuel, meaning “our God, who is our Creator, and yes, OUR JUDGE is now living with us.” (We are referring to Jesus here.) The best way to read the short Book of Malachi is to read and understand Christ’s Words there as being a “farewell address.” When you read this book, in this manner, a great many Truths of God jump out at you. A proper farewell address always makes mention of the future and a few key points that should never be forgotten. (Indeed, it is this Book of Malachi, verse 3:6, where Christ swore that He would never change.) Christ does not disappoint regarding His addressing this world’s last days in Malachi! Christ even describes His remnant church in great, yet simple, detail. Only our Christian leaders of today have ignored this Truth of Christ.
Malachi 3 generally reminds us of Christ’s gifts to this world. Then, later in verses 7 – 15, Christ teaches of this world’s religious leaders completely failing Him. (Remember, this is Christ speaking; and remember also, this is Christ shining a “light” upon Satan’s works within this world’s Christian churches here in these last days.)
Malachi 3:13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
Malachi 3:14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
Today, ALL Sunday keeping pastors (and more than a few sabbath keeping pastors) teach that it is not necessary (vain) to serve God anymore: meaning all Ten of His Commandments, and all of His Laws, ordinances, and Feasts. They also say that there is no reason (profit) for keeping His Old Testament ordinances anymore: due to their being obsolete, no longer necessary, not Christian, inconvenient to us, hung on the cross, or any other number of lies. (Yes, those particular ordinances governing our “attending to the affairs and maintenance of the Temple in Jerusalem” no longer apply because our LORD tore the veil of the temple in two, from top to bottom, the moment Jesus died.)
Malachi 3:15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
One question for all Christians here: does Malachi 3:15 not describe today’s world, perfectly?
And because it does, Christ goes immediately into describing His remnant church as it will be found at His return.
Malachi 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
“Feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name?” Did Solomon not teach this when he concluded Ecclesiastes?
Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Malachi 3:17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
“Make up my jewels?” You will learn about this on our next page regarding William Miller’s Dream (it will be a short read). Please be patient with this author and allow one more letter to bring all of this together. Please remember “the patience and faith of the saints.” (Revelation 14:12). You shall appreciate your patience and faith when you read our next letter.
“I will spare them?” This is found in Revelation 7:3:
Revelation 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Revelation 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Let us continue please:
Malachi 3:18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
NOTE BY jpw: This verse is Christ, receiving the command from His Father to return to this world and judge this world. You will find this same story in Revelation 14:
Revelation 14:14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
Revelation 14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
All of this was verified by Jesus when he stated that even he did not know when he would return:
Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
This author apologizes for digressing. Let us return to the lesson of those three incredible verses of Malachi.
Quite honestly, this author can only add one comment to these three outstanding verses of Malachi, and this author shall allow Jesus to make that comment:
Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Those were not this author’s words; they were Christ’s Words!
A few . . . only a few! Are you one of the few? Are you at least working on that?
Listen to the Word of God and do not listen to your Sunday keeping pastors who only teach “feel good” Christianity: that “fake” Christianity which Satan has taught to them!
************************
Christ’s Book of Remembrance (Malachi 3:16 above) shall be written about those who follow the narrow way of observing all of Christ’s commands (especially meaning His sabbath) no matter how badly their religious leaders have failed them: again, Satan’s confusion. These are those who will not give up. They will huddle in their homes if that becomes necessary. And they will “speak often, one to another.”
Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
This is Christ’s remnant church, at His second coming, described by Christ in Malachi. And His commanded Book of Remembrance is how Christ’s angels will know who to seal, for protection, in Revelation 7:3. How can we know this? Well, it is right there in Malachi 3:17. The day when Christ makes up his jewels, is the day Christ returns to this world (with His proverbial “dirt brush.” You will find this in our next letter.) Also, pay close attention to Revelation 9:4 as it comes from Malachi 3:16 – 17. If you have not read William Miller’s Dream, you will understand everything when you read our next (very short) letter. Malachi 3:17 is a direct reference to (and yes, even a very strong Scriptural support) for William Miller’s dream, which would not be sent down to this world for another 2,500 years. That is how perfect Christ is.
A commonsense question from this author. Can you now see why Satan will not permit his Sunday keeping pastors to teach the very short book of Malachi? This is because Malachi shines a “light” upon Satan’s works in this world, and especially, here today!
Every Christian living today should learn some very important lessons from Christ’s Book of Remembrance, which has never been taught to them: namely, that these are Christ’s OBEDIENT Christians!
No Sunday keeping Christian can belong to Christ’s remnant church.
No Christian, possessing graven images (such as a cross!) can belong to Christ’s remnant church.
No Christian who arrogantly consumes unclean meats can belong to Christ’s remnant church.
This author could go one here forever.
In fact, this author has been “going on” for a great many webpages now.
Remember this for just a few minutes. We shall return to this. The lessons of Christ’s remnant church and Christ’s elect go hand-in-hand.

Christ’s elect!
A great wisdom, and lesson, for all Christians today!
Revelation 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.
Revelation 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
Revelation 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
Revelation 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
Revelation 14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
Not defiled with women? WAIT . . . WHAT? What could that possibly mean?
What does the word “woman” always mean in prophecy? It means a church. Not just the bad churches, but all churches. It means “every church.” That is why Christ’s elect are virgins. They never allowed a church to defile them. This can only mean that they refused to accept the false doctrines found within these churches and they place the Word of God before anything found, OR SPOKEN, on this earth.
CRITICAL SIDE NOTE by jpw:
Please understand that Revelation 14:4 does not mean that Christ’s elect never went to church, nor do not belong to any church, currently! It does not say that: read those words carefully. It says that Christ’s elect have never been defiled by any church.
But yes, regarding those folks who gleefully ignore half of Christ’s Ten Commandments (including Sunday worship, graven images, taking the LORD’s name in vain by teaching that all others are going to hell, allowing adulterers into their churches: thereby not keeping “all evils” away from their churches) and then also ignore all of Christ’s other Laws and commands: YES, these folks have been defiled by their churches! About 99.9% of all Christians have been defiled in this way, today.
And we can thank Satan (and his Christian pastors) for all of this.
Now . . . can a person LEAVE those churches? Absolutely! In fact, Scripture is quite clear that if they DO NOT, they will never see Heaven. (Jeremiah 51:6) We have page-after-page here that teaches this Truth of God from Scripture. After these nominal Christians, (meaning in name only!) convert to becoming Christ’s saints, can they become a part of Christ’s elect? Quite honestly, this author does not know. This author does not even know if he was defiled by being raised in the Catholic church. But honestly, it does not matter! We have one goal here in this world: to have our name written in Christ’s Book of Life. If this author is lucky enough to make it to Heaven one day, perhaps we shall all laugh regarding the details of how we made it to Heaven. This author just does not know! And this author does not teach “feel good” Christianity: no, not even to himself!
Truth is Truth! It does not matter if we approve of it, or not.
This author apologizes for digressing here. “I do that a lot, sorry.”
Returning to what Scriptures teach about Christ’s elect.
Revelation (chapters 12 and 17) clearly teaches that Satan will have at least a partial ownership of all, except Christ’s elect! What does this mean? It means that Christians are EXPECTED TO LEARN SOMETHING from these two chapters! For Matthew 24:24 teaches that Satan shall never deceive Christ’s elect (with his confusion):
Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
At least a partial ownership? Quite honestly, this author does not know where Christ’s saints fall into this picture. These words only address Christ’s 144,000 elect. Christ did not address His saints in the verse above. As stated elsewhere on this website, Christ numbered His elect. He never numbered His saints!
Here is Christ describing His elect:
Revelation 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Today’s Christians are taught that they can live their lives, as they please, and Christ shall follow them! You just learned the opposite. When you ever do learn the Word of God in your Bible, follow and obey that Word. Why? Because that Word of God came from that Lamb! Simple.
Revelation 14:5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: That word “guile” is rarely used in today’s world. It means to trick, or deceive, others in a cunning way.
Please understand that this world’s sabbath keeping churches are the only people who qualify to be Christ’s elect. Not all of them: there are other qualifications, such as no guile being found within them. Also, setting aside their normal sins (for every person sins!), they are without fault before the throne of God. There are many sabbath keeping Christians who are nominal in nature: meaning “in name only.” Do not become one of these. There are many sabbath keeping pastors who do not observe the commands of Christ also. Some of them support homosexuality, abortion (murder), and some of them affirm that LGBXYZ nonsense. While Christ’s elect do sin, as we all do, they are nevertheless, found without fault before the throne of God.
After you ever find a good church, please remember that one cannot get to Heaven merely by going to church on Christ’s sabbath. Christ has other commands in His Bible.
**********************
Now, one further word regarding Christ’s elect. (This is the short version because this letter is getting long.) Revelation, Chapter 7 teaches how Christ’s angels separate and seal Christ’s elect. They number 144,000 exactly. Some of them are identified as coming out of the three tribes of Judah, Levi, and Benjamin. When the northern ten tribes of Israel were carried off, the three tribes remaining in the land of Israel were Judah, Levi, and Benjamin. These are the Jews of today! Oh, this author has heard many a Christian pastor explain that these shall be Jews who are converted to Christianity just before Christ returns. LIES! This author would like to see that verse in Scripture: 36,000 Jews being converted just before Christ returns! NONSENSE! BLASPHEMY!
Never, but ever, deny any peoples, on this earth, of being capable of obeying Christ, our Creator, and then finding success on Judgment Day!
Just work on your own life and your own obedience to Christ. And by the way, every pastor this author has ever heard spew that nonsense, was NOT an obedient pastor: not in one single instance! This author fails once in a while (ok, maybe a lot) but this author is trying. THESE GUYS ARE NOT EVEN TRYING!
**********************************************************
The lives of Christ’s elect and saints in the last days.
Revelation 12 teaches a great deal about Christ’s true church here in these last days. It does not paint a pretty picture regarding the quality of life these people will be living. They shall be helped, but yes, they shall be persecuted also. No pastor should ever diminish this fact.
A SHORT EXPLANATION REGARDING THE VERSES BELOW. Satan (the dragon) was cast down, by our LORD, to this earth after Jesus, our Christ, was resurrected because Jesus defeated Satan’s authority: this was Satan’s punishment. (John 14:30 and also verse 13 below in Revelation.) The woman found in verse 13 is this world’s entire Christian religion going back to the days of the Apostles: and Satan has persecuted them through the weaknesses and vanities of all Christian leaders and pastors, especially including the Roman Catholic church. (Please keep in mind, that Revelation 12 is not describing one single church somewhere, rather, starting in verse 14, it describes those “few” churches that did not succumb to Satan’s lies. How did they manage to do this? They kept the commandments of God; found in verse 17.) The man child is Jesus (our ancient Christ who came here to live as one of us), the wilderness is “away from all large populations” where Satan’s largest and strongest churches are found (a very simple explanation there), the flood is both a flurry of mankind’s laws that Christ’s elect can never obey and also a flood of Satan’s confusion, the remnant is Christ’s remnant church today, in verse 17, who shall truly be persecuted just as those back in verse 13 were. (How badly will they be persecuted? Revelation does not say, but Satan shall surely attempt to make war with them.) It should be noted that while Satan’s “flood” began shortly after the death of Jesus: it truly blossomed when the Catholic church was formed. All of this means Satan knows where Christ’s remnant church is, right now and here today. We shall conclude this in our next SHORT EXPLANATION NOTE below.
Revelation 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
Revelation 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: This is the three and a half years before Christ returns. (The simple version)
Revelation 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
Revelation 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
A SHORT EXPLANATION OF THE VERSES BELOW: These verses describe our near future! (It is written that Christ’s elect shall all be alive when He returns: Satan cannot kill them. But these verses are not about Christ’s elect.) The verses below are describing those saints who shall be killed because of their obedience to Christ and His commands. And many of them shall die for their testimony. These verses should make every true Christian’s blood run cold through their veins. Because it has been written, it shall truly happen!
Revelation 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
Revelation 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Revelation 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
**********************
Oh Christians! You Christians who truly desire to find that Kingdom of Heaven! You Christians who truly desire to obey Christ, your Creator, and CAST-OFF that dragon we call Satan, and then LEAVE the confusion he has caused in this world! Scriptures teach that Christ’s 144,000 elect shall live to see His return, but their lives shall not be easy. Christ shall not pour out His wrath upon them, but Satan will work to persecute them! Scriptures teach that they shall rise up to meet Christ in the air, as He is coming down to rule this earth for 1,000 years. (Matthew 24:30 – 31) He shall scatter them across this world to do His bidding in all societies and in every nation; for when Christ returns, He shall rule this world for 1,000 years.
Oh . . . but Christians! While Christ’s elect shall truly suffer along with the rest of this world, many of Christ’s remaining “saints” shall suffer even more: to the point of death! Fasten your seatbelts, Christians! Many of Christ’s saints, in these last days, are those fellowservants of Revelation 6:11:
Revelation 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Many shall be killed, here on this earth, (possibly soon) but after that death, they will find themselves amongst friends, under that altar of souls (Revelation 6:9, above) in Heaven, and when that white robe is given to them, they shall know that they have earned their place in Heaven, forever. Remember Lot’s wife: whatever we have, here in this world, will not last long. This includes our lives.
Any true and faithful Christian, living in these last days should place little value upon their “self.” Why? Because such a Christian fully understands what awaits them in Heaven. When comparing the two, this life down here should be of little importance. This does not mean any person’s life is meaningless! It should just be of little importance compared to what God has waiting for us.
**********************************************************
Oh, my dearest Christian friends, who truly desire to find that very Christ that created this world so long ago, who truly desire to find that very Christ that they shall stand before on Judgment Day, and who truly desire to learn what the Will of God is, here on this earth: if you want to find a true church, you have made a very good decision. But you must know what to look for, because statistically, the odds are stacked heavily against you! You can thank Satan for that. Learn the Word of God. Know what to look for in a church! Do not just go by what your friends and neighbors tell you, especially if they go to church on Sundays! Now, if they keep the Fourth Commandment, you might want to listen to them.
Learn what your Creator wants from you. His name is Christ! He goes by many names here in this world which He created, but on this side of the earth, He goes by the name of Christ. Yes, Jesus most certainly was Christ. But Christ was MUCH MORE than just Jesus. Christ is that God of the Old Testament. Christ is that God who spoke to Moses, visited Abraham, and blessed king David. Would you like proof?
Read the 49th chapter of Genesis. It is the first book in your Bible. It is a short chapter, but it was written for nearly every person who is reading this letter. No Christian pastor, known to this author, understands the 49th chapter of Genesis, but you can, if you just believe everything you read in Christ’s Bible.
All of this is actually quite simple . . . if you just believe the Word of God.
