The Son of Him that is true

Jesus truly is the Son of God!

1 John 5:18-21 (KJV)

18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

Above is another powerful passage about the Sonship of Christ.

Verses 20, John says here that the Son of God came to give them an understanding of Him that is true. Notice that even after the ascension of Christ His identity is as the Son of God. Never once in scripture is Christ referred to as "God the Son". This is important because it's about Jesus true identity. Taking away the true Sonship of Christ is antichrist. Jesus being "the Son of God" is His very divine identity as a true Son begotten of the Father. Jesus Sonship is connected to His divinity. The term "God the Son" is simply a title that hides Christ identity as God’s only begotten Son.

How could Christ come to give us a perfect understanding of Him that is true? Because Christ is one with His Father in spirit and is the express image of Him in likeness and character. Obviously from this passage "him that is true" is the Father. Christ came to reveal the character of His Father. Jesus himself said that the Father is the one true God (John 17:3). The Father is the "Him that is true" in this verse. This is important to understand and remember.

As Christians we are in Him (The Father) that is true. Remember, Christ came to reconcile us back to the Father (Ephesians 2:16). Jesus even prayed that we would be one in Him and the Father (John 17:21). The blessing is that we have the Father dwelling in us if we confess that Jesus is His Son and by this confession we also dwell in the Father (1 John 4:15-16). We are also in the Son of "Him that is true" which of course is the Father.

"This is the true God and eternal life"

John 17:3 (KJV)

3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

The last sentence in verse 20 is a clear reference to the Father as it harmonizes with Jesus very own words in John 17:3. Jesus and John his beloved disciple both state that eternal life is in knowing that the Father is the one true God. Pastor's and theologians who contradict this by teaching that the one true God is a trinity are calling Jesus and his beloved disciple liars. This is dangerous ground to be on especially in the judgement hour. Look at the below warning in verse 21:

"Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen"

Any worship outside of the Father through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ is idolatry and any concept of the identity of the one true God as anything other than the Father is an idol. These are John's words. Men like Doug Batchelor, David Asserick, Jerry Moon and Angel Rodriguez who deny the literal Sonship of Christ will not be with you in the judgement. Do not take these men's words as authoritative, scripture alone is to be our guide. Jesus never taught that God is a trinity and He never said that His Sonship was metaphorical.

Let Jehovah be true and every man a liar! Repent from worshipping the strange god of Babylon (the triune god) and denying the literal Sonship of Christ and come to the sanctuary to have your sins washed away. Our Saviour Jehovah Jesus Christ is just and willing to forgive. The trinity is a idol and we need to keep ourselves from it. Let all Jehovah's people say Amen!!

The Sonship of Christ is a salvation issue!

1 John 4:7-15 (KJV)

7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

This is one of the most beautiful passages in scripture as it talks about the love of Jehovah. While many Christians speak of God's love and tell others that God loves them, they often fail to explain why God loves us and what is the most powerful evidence of His love.

Because most denominations deny the literal Sonship of Christ they almost never give the most important evidence of Jehovah's love for us. In verse 9, the apostle John says that the love of God was manifested toward us because He sent us His only begotten Son that we might have everlasting life. This is powerful and the power of this verse is lost on many Christians and I truly believe it is the reason we see such a struggle in evangelism efforts here in the U.S. to win souls.

Because most professed Christians deny the literal Sonship of Christ they cannot properly convey the power of this verse. Most Christians believe the Sonship of Christ is a metaphor and thereby sap the power away from this verse. Ask yourself the question, "what would reveal to the sinner the love of God more fully, a real Son sacrificed by a real Father dying for their sins or a metaphorical Son sent by a role playing Father to die for their sins?"

The answer to this should be obvious, If I were to give up my very own son in order to save the life of another, that person would without doubt know that I love them. However, if I were to send one of my friends to sacrifice their life for another, then that person may perhaps know that I love them but wouldn't be 100 percent sure. In an age of coldness the sinner needs to know that there is a love out there for them that is unequivocally sure. This is what will move them to repentance.

By God sending His only begotten Son to die for our transgressions that we might live through him is the strongest evidence of God's love. The passage by sending another God but rather the only begotten Son. The phrae "only begotten" comes from the greek word "monogenes" (strongs 3439) and means "only born, i.e. sole: - only (begotten child)." The word monogenes comes from  "monos" and "ginomai". For this study we will only address the word "ginomai" as monos simply means "only, sole, single".

The word "begotten" comes from the Greek word "ginomai" (Strongs 1096) and means "to cause to be (generate), to come into being, to become, arise, be assembled, be brought to pass, come to pass.

Scripture is crystal clear that at some point Jesus came into being and was generated (begotten) from the Father. That is why He is called the only begotten Son of God. It is not just a title nor a role play but it is who Jesus is in identity. Scripture clearly teaches the preexistence of Christ so Jesus was begotten (generated) from the Father in ages of eternity (Micah 5:2).

Once we understand the truth of Christ literal Sonship then we can properly show the sinner the depth of Jehovah's love for them. This is something everyone can relate to as we are all either parents or children of parents.

Verse 10, again John shows the evidence of Jehovah's love for us. It wasn't our love for God that brought us to the cross but rather His love for us. His love was demonstrated toward us by sending His literal Son to be the mercyseat for our sins. This was as much a sacrifice for the Father as it was for Jesus. They both demonstrated their love for us by denying themselves in order to save man from death so that he would have eternal life. They both gave up something precious and risked eternal loss for the sake of the world and to see man healed and restored.

One of the results of denying the literal Sonship of Christ is that the Father's sacrifice has been made null and void. All the credit goes to Jesus because they say He is the Almighty God and He as God Almighty came down here and died for us. They reduce the Father to just having an advisory role in the plan of salvation. This is the lie of satan. The Father gave His precious Son up for our salvation. This must have been heart wrenching for Him to risk the loss of Hos dear Son. The Father gave up the very one that was in His bosom. He sacrificed His literal Son and if we have children we can relate to this in how heart wrenching it would be for us to do this.

The Father and Son both paid a heavy price for us and it was their love for us that they did this. Denying the literal Father-Son relationship reduces the Father's role significantly in the plan of salvation. The Father sent His true Son to reconcile us, He did not send a role playing Son. This must have hurt the Father's heart as He loves His dear Son. Don't believe Satan's lie that Jesus isn't a real Son and that Jehovah isn't a real Father.

Verses 11-12, we are told by John that if God loved us so much by giving us His only begotten Son then we ought to love one another. We have no excuse not to love one another when we have freely accepted Jehovah's free gift of grace and love, His Son Jesus Christ. We cannot accept the beautiful love of the Father and be selfish and not extend love to pur fellow brothers and sisters.

We are made in the image of the Father and Son, so when we look at each other we are seeing an image of God and Christ. Being that we have not visibly seen the Father and Son, we prove our love for them when we love one another who we do see. The bible gives us a big "if", only if we love one another does Jehovah dwell in us. How does the Father dwell in us? By His Holy Spirit! The Father and Son are both in the most holy place right now so they dwell in us by the agency of their Holy Spirit. The indwelling Jehovah. When the Father dwells in us His love is perfected in us. This is how we become perfect by His love dwelling in us not by outward forms and ordinances.

Verse 13 clearly says that Jehovah gives us of His Spirit so clearly the Holy Spirit is not another being but rather the actual Spirit of the Father. It's by having the Father's Spirit that we are able to love one another and it is by loving one another that proves that we dwell in Him and He dwells in us.

Verse 14-15, these two verses are a statement of faith by the beloved apostle John. John says that He and the other apostles have seen with their own eyes and testify (bear witness, bear record, give testimony, give a good report, greek word 3140 "martureo") that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

Do you believe the clear word of God through Jesus beloved disciple John or do you believe the false Pastor's and theologians of Christendom who deny the literal Sonship of Christ? John is making the declaration of the Father-Son relationship and the Father sending His Son to the world.

In verse 15, John simplifies the basis of how one attains salvation and what the evidence of having God dwelling in someone is.

"Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God."

There is no way around it, if you don't confess that Jesus is the Son of God, the Father doesn't dwell in you. This means you don't have the Holy Spirit in you. This is not talking some metaphorical Sonship but rather a true literal begotten Sonship. It is not confessing that Jesus is "God the Son" but rather "the Son of God".

Do you want to put your salvation in the hands of highly educated theologians and pastors or will you trust the inspired word's of scripture given to us in this passage by Jesus beloved disciple John?

Jesus truly is the Son of God!

The Three Angels messages part 3, the Third Angel's message

Revelation 14:9-12 (KJV)

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

The third angel follows the second angel. This angel speaks with a loud voice and will also be united with the fourth angel of Revelation 18:1-4 to give the last solemn warning to the world.

Revelation 18:1-4 (KJV)

18 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, 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.

3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

The fourth angel will unite with the third angel to give the last and threefold message of warning to the world. The Three Angel's messages are to be combined. The Third Angel's message has been preached since the mid 1800's. This message is a warning to those on earth not to worship the beast nor his image nor take his mark. This mark can either be in the forehead or in the hand or both. When the fourth angel comes down from heaven to unite with the third angel, it will be the last warning to come out of Babylon. Many Christians believe that the beast is the papal system and that his image is the Church-State union which is forming now in the United States of America and it's international arm the United Nations.

The Church-State union of the last days is the image of the beast (papacy) due to it being a copy of the Church-State union of the Papal Roman Catholic Church and the Monarchy's of Europe that ruled during the dark ages.

The Papacy is identified as the beast due to it fufilling many of the marks of the antichrist (beast).

Daniel 7:25 (KJV)

25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

By allowing himself to be called "Holy Father", "Vicar of Christ" the Pope blasphemes the Father and the Son. The Papal led Roman Church has killed millions of Christians during it's 1260 year reign of terror. The Roman Church also changed times and laws by incorporating it's own pagan feast days and changing the 10 Commandments most notably the 4th commandment to keep the Seventh-day holy.

Matthew 23:9 (KJV)

9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Jesus clearly said we are not to call no man father, of course this is in a spiritual sense of the word. Jesus says we have only one Father and He is in heaven not on earth. No man has the right to call himself father in terms of a spiritual meaning. When men do this they are blaspheming God the Father.

The meaning of the Vicar of Christ is:

"The pope, with reference to his claim to stand in the place of Jesus Christ and possess His authority in the church."

The below is from the a Catholic website called New Advent:

"(Latin Vicarius Christi).

A title of the pope implying his supreme and universal primacy, both of honour and ofjurisdiction, over the Church of Christ. It is founded on the words of the Divine Shepherd toSt. Peter: "Feed my lambs. . . . Feed my sheep" (John 21:16-17), by which He constituted thePrince of the Apostles guardianof His entire flock in His own place, thus making him HisVicar and fulfilling the promise made in Matthew 16:18-19.

In the course of the ages othervicarial designations have been used for the pope, as Vicar of St. Peter and even Vicar of theApostolic See (Pope Gelasius, I, Ep. vi), but the title Vicar ofChrist is more expressive of his supreme headship of the Churchon earth, which he bears in virtue of the commission ofChrist and with vicarial power derived from Him. Thus,Innocent III appeals for his power to remove bishops to the fact that he is Vicar of Christ (cap. "Inter corporalia", 2, "De trans. ep."). He also declares that Christ has given such power only to His Vicar Peterand his successors (cap. "Quanto", 3, ibid.), and states that it is the Roman Pontiff who is "the successor of Peter and the Vicar of Jesus Christ" (cap. "Licet", 4, ibid.). The title Vicar ofGod used for the pope byNicholas III (c. "Fundamentaejus", 17, "De elect.", in 6) is employed as an equivalent for Vicar of Christ."

As you can see the Pope claims the authority of Christ on earth. He claims supremacy over the Christian Congregation. In the bible, the New testament Congregation was a plurality of leadership. It was the apostles that guided the Congregation of Israel. In the Jerusalem council, we see that James presided over the decision of circumcision. While the Catholic Church claims Peter was the first Pope even Peter was rebuked by Paul. Paul had a vision of our Jehovah Jesus Christ and was very instrumental in the spread of the gospel to the gentiles yet he submitted to the leadership of the Jerusalem council and later on in his ministry to the instruction of James.

Even James is nowhere in the bible said to the be the ultimate leader of the Congregation. It is clear from the bible that the leadership of the Christian Congregation is a plurality and not a one man dictatorship like we see in Rome.

The bible teaches that all Christians are preists:

1 Peter 2:9 (KJV)

9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

We see that rather than a one man supreme leader of the Church, all believers are of the priesthood. Of course,  there is still leadership positions in the Church but the emphasis is not to be on one man.

Despite the delegation of authority to the apostles and so forth, Jesus is still the head of the Christian Congregation. No one single person can claim to have His authority on earth. We all have the authority of Christ on earth as believers. The ministerial offices given to men are ones of stewardship not autocratic rulership positions. Again, the authority given to ministers is spread out to different men throughout the Christian Congregation. Not one man is to be the ultimate leader of the Congregation on earth. Jesus still holds the position of being the head of the Congregation on earth. His representative the Holy Spirit guides the Congregation while He is in the most holy place as our High Preist.

Colossians 1:18 (KJV)

18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Jesus is the head of the Christian Congregation. On earth, the Holy Spirit of Christ calls men to positions of leadership to feed the sheep. The Holy Spirit calls many men to do this. There is not one ultimate human authority of the Christian Congregation on earth but rather a multitude of men. Even any the apostles who had way more right than the Pope to claim ultimate authority over the Church, governed the Church through plurality of leadership. The  Jerusalem council is one example (Acts 15). Also, later in Paul's ministry it will be noticed that James didn't lord his authority over Paul but gave him instruction to quiet the accusations of the Jews. Paul also called out Peter for hypocrisy. The point is that none of these Godly men were above being called out by each other. It was a healthy distribution of authority.

Matthew 20:25 (KJV)

25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.

1 Peter 5:1-4 (KJV)

1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.

4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

As you can see the biblical model of leadership is not one of a dictatorial one man show, but rather a servant style leadership where there are manly earthly Shepherds but only one Chief Shepherd Jesus Christ. Not one person can make a rightful claim to be the head of the Christian Congregation on earth. Jesus is the only head of the Christian Congregation and His representative, the Holy Spirit, guides the Congregation on earth as our Messiah is physically in the sanctuary blotting out our sins.

Ephesians 2:19-22 (KJV)

19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Jesus is the Chief cornerstone of the Christian Congregation. Putting a mere man in this position is blasphemous. Even saying that the Pope is the earthly representative of Christ, insofar as saying he has Christ authority as the head of the Christian Congregation is outright unbiblical. We all as Christians have Christ authority, however none of us can claim rulership over the whole Congregation on earth placing ourselves in the position that is only reserved for the Son of God. This of course is antichrist which means "in place of Christ". By the Pope claiming he possesses Christ authority over the whole Christian Congregation on earth, he sets himself "in place of Christ".

We see that the Pope fits being the antichrist (sea beast). It's really the whole papal system since it's inception. Worshipping the Pope in any way by giving him reverence, honour or prostrating yourself to give the man of sin homage is considered worship (Proskuneo Greek Strongs 4352). Worship is not just bowing down and proclaiming someone to be God but could be as simple as reverencing them or honouring them according to the biblical definition of worship. It's very important that we remember this, because many Christians will think that just because they are not literally bowing down to the Pope and proclaiming him to be God that they are not worshipping him.

However, just simply admiring him as a man of God or even a good man and as a religious leader will constitute worshipping this papal beast. Working with him in any way as a part of this ecumenical movement will constitute worshipping the beast. Joining with him or with his Church (RCC) in any humanitarian efforts or unity efforts will constitute worship. This is how serious it is friends. Don't be decieved, have nothing to do with this antichrist in any way, see him for who he is, the man of sin.

Now we have the image of the beast. Image signifies a copy of the original. The Beast during the dark ages was a Religious-State power and of course the beast has regained much of that power back and will gain more as we head to towards the end. The image then will be a Religious-State power that will be a copy of the Papal Religious-State power during the 1260 years of papal rule. This image will be headquartered in the United States and also the United Nations will be a prominent part of this as the U.N. is the international arm of the U.S.A. Also, the Vatican and specifically the Papacy has heavy influence in the U.N.

Revelation 14:9-11 (KJV)

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

We see that worshipping the image of the beast in way will cause one to receive the mark of the beast and forfeit eternal life. This image will enforce the Papacy's agenda which will be religious laws of the whore (Catholicism) and her daughters churches (Protestantism). Of course, the other false religions of the world are harlot daughters of the whore and will be part of this image of the beast. The United Nations is a key organization to watch as they are working with several denominations of Christendom and other religions of the world to promote their Millennium Sustainable Development Goals.

When you see a denomination that is working with the U.N., then you know they have formed an image to the beast and are a part of fallen Babylon. The U.N is the buffer between the U.S. and the international community. The denominations of Christendom are taking the lead here in the U.S. to bring about the religious part of the New World Order and the U.N. is working heavily with all religions of the world to bring about the religious part of the New World Order.

Just about every notable denomination of Christendom is part of this ecumenical movement. In order to be a part of this ecumenism, Churches have to water down doctrine and become more inclusive. This is why you have so called Christians saying that "Allah" is just another name for God. Also, in most denominations,  the acceptance of homosexuality has increased. You will rarely hear Romans 1 preached anymore. Most of these denominations are giving honour to the Pope as a man of God and some even outright calling him "our Pope".

The image of the beast will be a confederacy of State and Church. It will not just be the Churches of Christendom that will constitute the image but all false religion. This huge confederacy will persecute the small flock of bible believing Christians who refuse to give any honour (worship) whatsoever to this Religious-State system. Expect Romans 13 to be used as a tool of manipulative control to get bible believing Christians to submit to this abominable system.

The end game of this Church-State Union will be to enforce the mark of the Papal beast.

Revelation 13:15-16 (KJV)

15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

The false prophet (Protestant America) will be the driving force that seeks to enforce the mark with the power of the State behind them (U.S./U.N.). The other false religions of the world will be right alongside the apostate Churches of Christendom.

Many erroneously conclude the mark of the beast to be a rfid chip or a tattoo or a national I.D. Those are merely unbiblical speculations. In order to determine if the mark of the beast is a spiritual mark or a physical mark, we need to see its counterpart "the seal of God" and see if it's spiritual or physical. From verse 16 in Revelation 13, we see that the mark of the beast is placed within the hand or forehead. Did you know that the seal of God is also placed in the hand or the forehead. What is this seal of God that we get in our hand and forehead. Let's go to Deuteronomy 6:4-8 for the answer.

Deuteronomy 6:4-8 (ASV)

4 Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah:5 and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart; 7 and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes.

This passage comes shortly after the giving of Jehovah's commandments at Sinai which are not only the ten commandments but the law of Moses as well. Notice verse 8, we are supposed to have Jehovah's law bound on our on hands signifying our actions and bound on our frontlets between our eyes (forehead). This is the seal of God with the Sabbath commandment as the heart of that seal but nonetheless the seal is more than the Sabbath, as it constitutes all the commandments that are still applicable in the new covenant. The only change to the law was the Levitical preisthood, sacrifical system and Temple service. The moral law still applies and this includes the Seventh-day Sabbath. The health laws also still apply. The legal sentence of death was nailed to the cross. The political governance of the law was fufilled as long as Israel was a theocratic nation. Today we rely on secular governments to institute moral laws for society and some even use the law of Moses as a guide although this is waning.

Another example of Jehovah's law being bound to our hand and foreheads is found in Exodus 13:9,16.

Exodus 13:9 (ASV)

9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thy hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the law of Jehovah may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath Jehovah brought thee out of Egypt.

The passage above is in reference to the passover and feast of unleavened bread. Again, these are not physical signs (seals, marks) but rather spiritual as one keeps this in his/her heart (mind, agreeing with the law) and hand which represents actions (actually keeping the law).

Exodus 13:16 (ASV)

 16 And it shall be for a sign upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt.

Verse 16 restates that the passover was to be bound on the hand and frontlets  (forehead) of the Congregation of Israel. Again, this must be a spiritual sign not a literal physical sign on the hand and forehead. This passover remembrance is to be in our minds (forehead, law written on our hearts) and on our hands (actions of worship).

Deuteronomy 11:18-28 (ASV)

18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and ye shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. 19 And ye shall teach them your children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 20 And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates; 21 that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Jehovah sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.22 For if ye shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you, to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him; 23 then will Jehovah drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves. 24 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the [a]hinder sea shall be your border.25 There shall no man be able to stand before you: Jehovah your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath spoken unto you.

26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse: 27 the blessing, if ye shall hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I command you this day; 28 and the curse, if ye shall not hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

Another example of Jehovah's law being bound on our hand and on our frontlets (foreheads). We are to have his law bound on our hand and forehead. We are to have His law in our hearts (mind) and our hand (actions). We are to teach our children Jehovah's law and we are to constantly meditate on His Royal Law.

Obedience to Jehovah's law yields a blessing and actually prolongs one's life. We are to diligently (verse 22) keep his commandments.

The hebrew word for diligently is "shamar" (Hebrew Strongs 8104) and means "to hedge about, guard, generally to protect, attend to, etc.: be circumspect, take heed (to self), keep, mark, look narrowly, observe, preserve, regard, save (self), sure, (that lay) wait (for), watch(-man)."

We are to guard, protect and attend to Jehovah's law. Verse 22 says we are to walk in all His ways. His ways are found in His law. We are to cleave unto Jehovah which is done through His Son Jesus which gives us the new life that allows us to obey to the law.

Jehovah's promise to the Israelites was conditional hinging on their obedience to the law.

Verse 26 and 27, Jehovah sets before us a blessing and a curse. A blessing if  we obey Jehovah's commandments. A curse if we disobey the law of Jehovah which is most notably manifested in following other gods. Most of Christendom is following after a strange god called the Trinity. This was the natural result of doing away and changing Jehovah's Royal Law. The apostasy of the early Church led to the council of Nicea which introduced the strange Trinity god. Once we do away with or change Jehovah's law, the end result is the worship of strange gods.

Verse 32, Jehovah commands the Congregation to observe His statutes and judgments. The same command is for the Congregation today.

1 John 5:2-3 (KJV)

2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Now let's look at the Sabbath commandment, we will see that this commandment has Jehovah's seal within it. Remember, a seal of an authority figure has the name of that figure, the title and the territory of that authority figure. We will see that the Sabbath commandment has those elements in it in relation to God.

Exodus 20:8-11 (ASV)

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath unto Jehovah thy God: in itthou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:11 for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Verse 8, Jehovah makes the declaration that the Sabbath day is to be remembered and to kept holy (consecrated, set apart). Jehovah must have known that in the future most people would forget it or in the case of Christendom totally disregard it.

Verse 9, many people use the excuse that they need to work on the Sabbath due to tight financial circumstances, however Jehovah gave us 6 full days to work in order to sustain ourselves. People choose pleasure and work over communing with Jehovah and His Son Jesus. Jehovah knows their hearts and knows that their excuses are basically that, excuses!  They have no problem resting other days but when it comes to the Sabbath to have their rest, all of a sudden they need to work.

Verse 10, Jehovah makes it clear that it is the Seventh-day (Saturday) that is to be kept holy. There has never been a provision for a Sunday Sabbath (first day).

Verse 11, now we will see the seal of God.  It says that "Jehovah made heaven and earth, and the sea and all that in them is."

There it is the seal of God as found in the 4th commandment of the decalogue.

God's name: Jehovah
Title: Creator  (Jehovah made heaven, sea and earth)
Territory: Heaven, Earth and Sea and all that in them is.

Verse 6 of Revelation 14 uses the same language as verse 11 of Exodus 20 in regards to Jehovah being the God of creation.

Revelation 14:7 (KJV)

7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

The first angels message is a call to fear the God of creation. It seems as though this warning is due to the fact most worship another god and not Jehovah who created everything through His Son. Even much of Christendom has forgotten to honour God's creation and is instead worshipping another god which is honoured by Sunday sacredness. So, what god is associated with Sunday sacredness?  The Catholic Church gives us the answer:

"Q. What is Sunday, or the Lord's Day in general?
A. It is a day dedicated by the Apostles to the honour of the most holy Trinity, and in memory that Christ our Lord arose from the dead upon Sunday, sent down the holy Ghost on a Sunday, &c. and therefore is called the Lord's Day. It is also called Sunday from the old Roman denomination of Dies Solis, the day of the sun, to which it was sacred.

Kenedy, Excelsior Catholic Publishing House, 5 Barclay Street, New York, approved and recommended for his diocese by the Right Rev. Benedict, Bishop of Boston, April 24th, 1833, page 143.

There it is folks, Sunday worship is kept by Catholics and Protestants in honour of The trinity god. The Trinity god is the god of Sun worship and is the god of the false Sunday Sabbath.

Let's go to other scriptures that speak ofthe Sabbath as being a sign between Jehovah and His people.

Exodus 31:12-18 (ASV)

12 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily ye shall keep my sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am Jehovah who sanctifieth you.14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that profaneth it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.15 Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Jehovah; whosoever doeth any work on the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

Verse 12, Jehovah is speaking to Moses, so these are Jehovah's very own words. Remember, Jehovah speaks through His Word (Jesus Christ).

Verse 13, Jehovah has chosen the Sabbath as the only sign between Himself and those who follow Him.

 The word "sign" is derived from the Hebrew word "owth" (Hebrew Strongs 226) and means "a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, .: mark, miracle, (en-)sign, token, a distinguishing mark."

The Sabbath is the evidence (owth) that we are Jehovah's children. It is the distinguishing mark that we are part of Jehovah's Christian Congregation. The Sabbath was to be kept throughout the generations of the Congregation of Israel.  We as Christians, whether Jew or Gentile, are the Congregation of Israel. Gentiles are now grafted into Israel, they are not a seperate entity. It is by keeping the Sabbath that Jehovah sanctifies us.

The hebrew word for "sanctify" is "qadash" (Hebrew Strongs 6942) and means "(causatively, make, pronounce or observe as) clean (ceremonially or morally):- appoint, bid, consecrate, dedicate, defile, hollow, (be, keep) holy(-er, place), keep, prepare, proclaim, purify, sanctify (-ied one, self), wholly".

When we keep Jehovah's Sabbath day He  consecrates us, makes us pure and hollows us. He makes us ceremonially and morally clean. The Seventh-day Sabbath is a moral law not just a ceremonial law. It is both. It is moral because it shows our loyalty and fidelity to Jehovah God and His Son Jesus Christ. It shows that we have them as our priority and that we want to spend quality time with them. It shows our love to theFather and Son. It shows our acknowledgement that the Father created everything through His Son. It is a memorial to the Father and Son's creation.

Verse 14 and 15, the keeping of the Seventh-day Sabbath was a serious thing in the old covenant. The penalty for breaking the 4th commandment was death. Keeping Jehovah's Holy day is every bit the serious matter now as it was then however we no longer put people to death who break it as the Christian Congregation in the new covenant is not a theocracy the way the Congregation was in the old covenant when they had rule over their own land and people. The politic of the law has been fufilled already through National Israel of the old testament. Either way Jesus nailed the debt/penalty of sin, which is breaking the law of Jehovah, to the cross. Instead of the death penalty in this life for the commandment breaker they will get the ultimate death penalty in the Lake of Fire  (second death).

Jehovah has already given us six days to work so there is no excuse for those that claim they need to work in orderto sustain themselves financially.

Verse 16, the Sabbath is a perpetual covenant between Israel and Jehovah. The Hebrew word for "perpetual" is "owlam" (Strongs 5769) and means "ever, everlasting, evermore, properly, concealed, i.e. the vanishing point; generally, time out of mind (past or future), i.e. (practically) eternity; frequenatively, always, ancient (time), any more, continuance, (for, (n))ever (-lasting, -more, of old), lasting (long time), (of) old (time), perpetual at any time, (beginning of the) world (+ without end).

So we can see that the above definition for perpetual denotes something that is everlasting. The Christian Congregation is the Israel of Jehovah and Gentile Christians have been grafted into the olive tree (Israel). The Israel of Jehovah is made up of Jews and Gentiles who accept the Son of God Jehoshua as their personal Saviour.

Verse 17, Jehovah says that the Sabbath is a sign between Him and the children of Israel which is the Christian Congregation in the new covenant times. Not replacement theology but rather inclusive theology as Jehoshua came to make twain one new man out of believing Jews and Gentiles. He has one fold only not two and this fold is the Israel of Jehovah which includes both Jews and Gentiles who were grafted into Israel.

Galatians 6:16 (KJV)

16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

James 1:1 (KJV)

1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

The Christian Congregation is Israel, the bible makes that clear. As the Israel of Jehovah we are to keep the Sabbath day holy as commanded by Him. Even Jehovah was refreshed by resting on the Seventh-day after His creative work was finished. How much more do we humans need that same rest. When we reject the Sabbath day we also reject Jehovah.

Verse 18, Jehovah God wrote the ten commandments with His very own fingers. The commandments include the Seventh-day Sabbath. Most Christians try to say the Sabbath has either been changed to Sunday or that it doesn't apply all together. The will have to give an account to the Most High God who admonished us to Remember the Seventh-day and keep it holy.

Ezekiel 20:12 (ASV)

12 Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am Jehovah that sanctifieth them.

Keeping the Sabbath is one of the evidences that we are Jehovah's children.  It is His sign between Him and His people. When we keep Jehovah's solemn rest day He sanctifies us. Jehovah purifies and consecrates (sanctifies) us when we keep His Holy day.

So now we see the Seal/Sign of Jehovah is the keeping of His law whether it is the Shema (Jehovah God is One), the Passover (The memorial meal of our Saviour's death and remembering Jehovah's deliverance of Israel out of Egypt) or the keeping of the Seventh-day Sabbath.

So what is the Mark of the Beast? It's actually very simple know that we know what constitutes the Seal of Jehovah. In contrast to the Shema which is the truth that Jehovah God is One (Deuteronomy 6:4, Mark 12:28-34), one of the identifying marks of the beast would be to worship any other god besides Jehovah through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. This would include the trinity god which is the god of the Papal antichrist.

One of the other marks of the beast would be to keep the counterfeit holy days that the Beast system (Papal Rome) has is instituted such as the 8 day Xmas feast (includes New years feast of circumcision), Easter feast which includes Good Friday and Palm Sunday, Lent (weeping for Tammuz), Valentines day and the weekly Catholic eucharist etc. These false holy days are part of Catholic Canon law and violation of these days brought on persecution. These pagan holidays and practices have been promoted at the expense of the real holy days of Jehovah which include the passover meal which we are to have as a sign upon our hand and forehead (Exodus 13:9, Exodus 13:16).

Another identifying mark of the beast is the Sunday Sabbath which is acknowledged by the Roman Church as the mark of their authority. This flies right in the face of the true Seventh-day Sabbath of Jehovah. Sunday is the Sabbath of the trinity god. The Seventh-day Sabbath is a sign that we are Jehovah's children. The Sunday Sabbath is a mark that you are paying homage to the Papal beast.

Summing this up in simplicity, the Seal of God is keeping His Law, the 10 Commandments and the Law of Moses (Revelation 22:14, Revelation 11:16-19, Malachi 4:4).

The Mark of the Beast is a false system of worship. People get this mark by disobeying Jehovah's commandments and keeping the traditions of the Catholic/Protestant Churches.

Revelation 14:10 (KJV)

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Verse 10, Those who participate in the false system of worship of the beast (Papal Rome and her Protestant daughters) will suffer the seven last plagues which are the unmixed cup of wrath of Jehovah God. Those who have the mark of the Papal beast will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and the Son of God. This will be at the second advent of our Jehovah Jesus Christ (Revelation 19:19-21). There will be a second portion of this fire and brimstone after the second resurrection when the wicked rise to be judged and destroyed forever (Revelation 20:7-15).

Verse 11, many use this to prove eternal torment but remember scripture is to interpret scripture. Peter said that Sodom and Gomorrha was an example of what would happen to those after who should live ungodly lives.

2 Peter 2:6-9 (KJV)

6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

Sodom and Gomorrha obviously is no longer burning yet it is described as suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Jude 7 (KJV)

7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

It's obvious that the eternal fire described in regards to Sodom and Gomorrha is not talking about eternal torment but rather eternal consequences (destruction) resulting from the judgment of literal fire and brimstone. If Sodom and Gomorrha is the example set forth for the wicked at the day of their recompense then it stands to reason that the fire described in verses 10 and the smoke described in verse 11 is not referring to eternal torment but rather a literal judgment of fire that results in permanent destruction.

The mark of the beast is applied spiritually to anyone who not only worships the beast (papacy) but also his image which is the Church-State union based in America but also involves the whole world via the United Nations. Notice that the mark is called "the mark of his name". Any reverence or homage to this beast and any agreement with his Church's false doctrines will cause one to receive the mark of his name.

Verse 12, a very solemn verse, the Saints of Jehovah will need patience during this time of peril when the papal system exerts more and more influence. The apostate Protestants will also flex their political muscle to try the Saints. This patience has always been practiced by the Saints during the persecutions of the past. It will be needed especially in these dark times. What are two identifying signs of being a saint? Keeping Jehovah's commandments and having the faith of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ.

Keeping the commandments is a requirement to be a saint, this is especially true in these end times. The law of Jehovah is not optional but is a requirement to enter into the gates of the holy city (Revelation 22:14). The faith of Jesus has a threefold meaning. It means having faith in Jesus as the Son of God which is a requirement for salvation (1 John 4:15). The second application is having Jesus faith meaning believing the doctrines that He taught. Jesus taught the law by magnifying it. Jesus also believed in One God who is His Father (John 17:3). Jesus did not teach a trinity god as that would violate the 10 Commandments (1st Commandment) and the Law of Moses (The Shema).

Jesus was a Prophet as well as being the Divine Son of God. In order to be a true Prophet he can never teach that God is a trinity. He would have to speak according to the law and the testimony in order to be a true Prophet (Isaiah 8:20).

Jesus warned about those who would break and teach the breaking of the law.

Matthew 5:17-19 (KJV)

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

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.

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.

The third application is having Jesus faith and denying yourself and picking up your cross willing to suffer for the Son of God.

 Matthew 16:24 (KJV)

24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

"Think ye that God will receive, honor, and acknowledge a people so mixed up with the world that they differ from them only in name? Read again Titus 2:13-15. It is soon to be known who is on the Lord’s side, who will not be ashamed of Jesus. Those who have not moral courage to conscientiously take their position in the face of unbelievers, leave the fashions of the world, and imitate the self-denying life of Christ, are ashamed of Him, and do not love His example. [1T 287.1, Ellen White]

It is clear from Jesus Christ and the pen of Jehovah's messenger Ellen White that nothing less than a self denying life in imitation of the Son of God is required of the Christian. This is the faith of Jesus, righteousness by faith in the Son of God!

The Holy Trinity, the mark/name of the beast!

Dies Solis - The Day of the Sun.

Q. What is Sunday, or the Lord's Day in general?
A. It is a day dedicated by the Apostles to the honour of the most holy Trinity, and in memory that Christ our Lord arose from the dead upon Sunday, sent down the holy Ghost on a Sunday, &c. and therefore is called the Lord's Day. It is also called Sunday from the old Roman denomination of Dies Solis, the day of the sun, to which it was sacred.

Kenedy, Excelsior Catholic Publishing House, 5 Barclay Street, New York, approved and recommended for his diocese by the Right Rev. Benedict, Bishop of Boston, April 24th, 1833, page 143.

All Sunday laws INCLUDE STRICT OBSERVANCE OF THE TRINITY...

The law of Maryland (October, 1723), relative to Sunday was then as follows:—

AN ACT TO PUNISH BLAMSPHEMERS, SWEARERS, DRUNKARDS, AND SABBATH BREAKERS, AND FOR REPEALING THE LAWS HERETOFORE MADE FOR THE PUNISHING SUCH OFFENDERS.

Be it enacted by the right honorable the lord proprietor, by and with the advice and consent of his lordship’s governor, and the upper and lower houses of assembly, and the authority of the same, That if any persons shall hereafter, within this province, wittingly, maliciously, and advisedly, by writing or speaking, blaspheme or curse God, or deny our Saviour Jesus Christ to be the Son of God, or shall deny the Holy Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, or the Godhead of any of the three persons, or the unity of the Godhead, or shall utter any profane words concerning the Holy Trinity, or any of the persons thereof, and shall be thereof convict by verdict, or confession, shall, for the first offence, be bored through the tongue and fined twenty pounds sterling to the lord proprietor to be applied to the use of the county where the offence shall be committed, to be levied on the offender’s body, goods and chattels, lands or tenements, and in case the said fine cannot be levied, the offender to suffer six months’ imprisonment without bail or mainprise; and that for the second offence, the offender being thereof convict as aforesaid, shall be stigmatized by burning in the forehead with the letter B and fined forty pounds sterling to the lord proprietor, to be applied and levied as aforesaid, and in case the same cannot be levied, the offender shall suffer twelve months’ imprisonment without bail or mainprise; and that for the third offence, the offender being convict as aforesaid, shall suffer death without the benefit of the clergy. AMS February 13, 1890, p. 49.6

Often times in the Church we are told that the Mark of the Beast is Sunday sacredness, however it is never told the congregants that Sunday sacredness is inherently connected with the trinity god. The proof is in the statement by the very caretakers of this Mystery doctrine, the Roman Catholic Church. They admit that they keep Sunday sacred in honour of The most holy Trinity per the above statement made in 1833 by the Right Rev. Benedict, Bishop of Boston.

The Catholic Church isn't the only one that keeps Sunday in honour of The trinity doctrine, look at the above Sunday law in Maryland circa 1723. It was Protestants that came up with this legislation. Not only is this Sunday used to enforce the First day Sabbath but also adherence to the trinity god. You were not allowed to write or speak against the trinity in regards to any of the three persons Godhead or unity of the three person Godhead. Violation of this Sunday Sabbath/Trinity law was punishable by death on the third offence. The first two offences brought on harsh physical punishments and prison if unable to pay the associated monetary fines. Noteworthy in regards to the second offence, is the burning of the letter "B" on the forehead of someone who blasphemed the Holy Trinity. The "B" stood for "Blasphemer".

Protestants followed in their mother's (Rome) footsteps in persecuting those who violated the false Sunday Sabbath and who rejected the trinity doctrine.

While Protestants try to claim the Trinity is not a Catholic doctrine, the Catholic Church says otherwise.

 "The mystery of the Trinity is the central doctrine of the Catholic Faith. Upon it are based all the other teachings of the church..." Handbook for Today's Catholic, p. 11.

There it is, out of the Whore's mouth. The "mystery" of the Trinity is Catholic Church's central doctrine and it is the foundation of all their other teachings. The Trinity is the foundation of Sunday sacredness which the Catholic Church admits as noted earlier. This doctrine also is the foundation of the natural immortality of the soul, the pagan holidays of the Catholic Church and the list goes on. Many bible students acknowledge that the Mother of Harlots is the Roman Catholic Church, however they miss or choose to ignore that this Whore's god is a Mystery god as clearly stated in scripture:

Revelation 17:5 (KJV)

5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.

Protestants and Catholics alike describe their trinity god as the "Mystery of the Trinity". Can you believe this? It's right in front of their face. For Seventh-day Adventists to denounce The Catholic Church as Mystery Babylon yet worship a god that they freely say is a "Mystery god" is irony at it's best and worst. Not only do Seventh-day Adventists do this but also other independent Christian Churches.

Is the Seal of God/Mark of the Beast issue soley about the day we worship?

"The light we have received upon the third angel's message is the true light. The mark of the beast is exactly what it has been proclaimed to be. Not all in regard to this matter is yet understood, nor will it be understood until the unrolling of the scroll; but a most solemn work is to be accomplished in our world. The Lord's command to His servants is: “Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.” Isaiah 58:1. [6T 17.1, Ellen White]

Jehovah's messenger, Ellen White, makes a interesting statement in regards to the mark of the beast. She says that:

"Not all in regard to this matter is yet understood, nor will it be until the unrolling of the scroll"

The Mark of the Beast is understood by Seventh-day Adventists to be a National/World Sunday law and they are right. Ellen White said that the mark of the beast "is exactly what it has been proclaimed to be". This last statement may give Trinitarian Seventh-day Adventists a false sense of security. The messenger of Jehovah leaves the door open in the previous mentioned statement, in regards to more light concerning the mark of the beast.

Let's not forget that the mark of the beast isn't the only thing that will condemn a person to the Lake of Fire.

Revelation 13:16-17 (KJV)

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Many Christians rarely ever mention that having the name or number of the beast will also condemn someone to the Lake of Fire. It is clear that the name and number of the beast is related and linked to the mark of the beast. For this study we will focus on the name and mark of the beast.

Revelation 13:1 (KJV)

13 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

The beast (Papacy) has names of blasphemy on his head. It is very revealing that the Pope has the triquetra, which are three rings, on his preistly mitre. These three interlocking rings represent the trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The triquetra on the Pope's mitre is sown within a triangle which also represents the trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is "Mystery" written on the Whore's forehead. Remember, the Great Whore is the Catholic Church and the Pope is it's leader. The Catholic Church admits that the "Mystery" Trinity is the Central doctrine of their faith. Protestants follow their Mom's lead in this.

The Pope is a false high priest. Jesus Christ is our High Preist. He is wearing Preistly garments right now as he is making intercession for us in the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary. Jesus is also wearing a Mitre as the heavenly High Preist. I wonder what is on the Mitre Jesus is wearing. Is it a triangle with the triquetra placed within it representative of the holy Trinity? If the earthly garments were a copy of the heavenly preistly garments that were to be worn by Jesus after His ascension to Heaven, then we can find out what Jesus mitre has on it.

Exodus 28:36-38 (ASV)

36 And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, Holy to Jehovah. 37 And thou shalt put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be. 38 And it shall be upon Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before Jehovah.

Wow! So the High Priest didn't have a triquetra symbol nor a triangle representing a three in one god or 3 gods but the mitre actually had the name of the Father Jehovah. It read on the Mitre "Holy to Jehovah". This was upon Aaron’s forehead. If this is the copy of the original preistly garments in heaven then we can safely conclude that Jesus also bears on His Mitre "Holy to Jehovah". We see that the Pope has the "Holy Trinity" written upon his forehead (name of blasphemy) and the Son of God has the name of His Father upon His forehead."Holy to Jehovah".

This is very interesting and hopefully will open a lot of people's eyes. Those who worship the trinity god have that god's name written on their foreheads. Remember, worship starts in the mind (forehead) and then it is manifest in the hands (actions). Who do the 144,000 worship? These last living saints receive the seal of the living God before the 7 last plagues fall on the earth.

Revelation 7:2-3 (KJV)

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,

3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

This is likely the Messiah (Michael The Archangel) speaking. He has the seal of the living God. We know from scripture that the living God is the Father (Matthew 16:13-20). The 144,000 will be sealed in their foreheads. The forehead represents who these 144,000 worship in their hearts (mind). So is this seal of the living God a trinity as most of Christendom says? Let's see:

Revelation 14:1-5 (KJV)

14 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.

There it is, the 144,000 get sealed with the seal of the living God and this seal contains the Father's name "Jehovah". The 144,000 have the same name on their forehead that Jesus has now as our High Preist and that the earthly High Preist's had on their mitre's. The living God is clearly the Father not a trinity.

The false high priest (Pope) has the trinity god written upon his forehead and Jesus as our High Preist has His Father's name written upon his forehead. The 144,000 also have the Father's name written upon their foreheads which is the seal of the living God.

Those who worship the trinity god are either knowingly or unknowingly giving their allegiance to the Pope and the Catholic Church and by doing this they have this false god written upon their foreheads.

Those who worship the Father as the one true God have his name written upon their foreheads.These true worshippers will receive the seal of the living God according to scripture if they are alive at the close of probation.

John 4:23 (KJV)

23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

Notice that Jesus says that true worshippers will worship the Father not a trinity.

John 17:3 (KJV)

3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Jesus makes a statement of faith as he calls the Father the only true God. The devil has deceived most of Christendom into believing that the only true God is a trinity.

Why the mark of the beast is more than just the day we worship!

Most Seventh-day Adventists believe that the last days crisis has primarily to do with the day we worship. They esteem the 4th commandment to keep the Sabbath day holy as the most important commandment. However, the Son of God made it clear what the most important commandment was. Let's read Mark 12:28-34:

28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

In verse 29, Jesus qouted the Shema  (Deuteronomy 6:4), and said that the most important commandment was "Hear O' Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:"

Did you read that? The Lord God is One not two, not three, not two in one or three in one but only "ONE". This is harmony with Jesus statement in John 17:3 where he calls the Father the only true God. The scribe congratulates Jesus on his declaration that the Lord God is One. The scrbe then reiterates Jesus statement and says "for there is one God; and there is none other but HE." So the scribe and Jesus are in agreement that God is One.

In verse 34, Jesus tells the scribe, after the scribes confession that God is One, "Thou art not far from the kingdom of God." This statement is a stern rebuke to those who believe in a trinity god. The scribe is actually closer to the kingdom of God than those who believe God is a trinity.

Let's go to the Shema that Jesus qouted so we can see how important it is to be in line with the confession of Jesus and the scribe, that God is One.

Deuteronomy 6:4-8 (ASV)

4 Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah:5 and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart; 7 and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes.

In verse 4, it clearly says Jehovah God is One Jehovah not three. In verse 8, we are told to have this truth that Jehovah God is One bound as a sign upon our hand and between our frontlets (forehead). We are told in Revelation 13:16, that the mark of the beast will be upon the hand and forehead which is the exact place that the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4) is bound upon.

Revelation 13:16 (KJV)

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

The counterpart to the seal of God is the mark of the beast. We are to have the knowledge that Jehovah God is One Jehovah sealed on our forehead and hands. This knowledge impacts our ability to keep the first four commandments of the decalogue. The Shema is crucial to a proper understanding of the Sabbath commandment. Today's Seventh-day Adventist Church is attributing the work of creation, of which the Sabbath is a memorial, to a trinity god rather than the God of Israel (The Father). They are giving the Sunday god (trinity) the credit for the work of creation. The Sabbath is a sign between Jehovah and His people and keeping it seals us in the last days however we will not be sealed by keeping the Sabbath and worshipping a false concept of God.

Some may object to this however remember the Jews in AD 70, they were Sabbath keepers and they were destroyed by the Roman army as Jerusalem went up in flames. The destruction of Jerusalem is a type of what is going to happen at the close of probation for the Churches of Christendom (Ezekiel 9). The Jews at that time have something eerily im common with most Seventh-day Adventists. They both reject the Son of God. They also both were/are Sabbath keepers. They also both trusted/trust in their Sabbath Keeping, often times as a means of Salvation and a free ticket to everlasting life. The Seventh-day Adventist General Conference churches deny the literal Sonship of Christ. The Jews of A.D. were devout Sabbath keepers, yet due to the rejection of God's only begotten Son, they perished in the destruction of their "holy" city.

This is one proof that the Seal of God/Mark of the Beast crisis is as much about who we worship as it is when we worship. If the Seal of God is soley about the Sabbath, then it begs the question, what about the Jews? They faithfully keep the Sabbath yet they still reject God's Son, so if the Seal of God is strictly confined to the Sabbath then what prevents them from getting the Seal?

We don't worship a day, we worship the One who made the day Holy!

Please read this important excerpt below from the Justinian code.

"THE CODE OF OUR LORD
THE MOST SACRED EMPEROR JUSTINIAN.

SECOND EDITION.

BOOK 1.

TITLE 1.

CONCERNING THE MOST EXALTED TRINITY AND THE
CATHOLIC FAITH AND PROVIDING THAT NO ONE
SHALL DARE TO PUBLICLY OPPOSE THEM.

   1. The Emperors Gratian, Valentinian, and Theodosius to the people of the City of Constantinople.

   We desire that all peoples subject to Our benign Empire shall live under the same religion that the Divine Peter, the Apostle, gave to the Romans, and which the said religion declares was introduced by himself, and which it is well known that the Pontiff Damascus, and Peter, Bishop of Alexandria, a man of apostolic sanctity, embraced; that is to say, in accordance with the rules of apostolic discipline and the evangelical doctrine, we should believe that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit constitute a single Deity, endowed with equal majesty, and united in the Holy Trinity.

   (1) We order all those who follow this law to assume the name of Catholic Christians, and considering others as demented and insane, We order that they shall bear the infamy of heresy; and when the Divine vengeance which they merit has been appeased, they shall afterwards be punished in accordance with Our resentment, which we have acquired from the judgment of Heaven.

    Dated at Thessalonica, on the third of the Kalends of March, during the Consulate of Gratian, Consul for the fifth time, and Theodosius.

   2. The Same Emperors to Eutropius, Praetorian Prefect.

   Let no place be afforded to heretics for the conduct of their ceremonies, and let no occasion be offered for them to display the insanity of their obstinate minds. Let all persons know that if any privilege has been fraudulently obtained by means of any rescript whatsoever, by persons of this kind, it will not be valid. Let all bodies of heretics be prevented from holding unlawful assemblies, and let the name of the only and the greatest God be celebrated everywhere, and let the observance of the Nicene Creed, recently transmitted to Our ancestors, and firmly established by the testimony and practice of Divine Religion, always remain secure.

   (1) Moreover, he who is an adherent of the Nicene Faith, and a true believer in the Catholic religion, should be understood to be one [pg. 10] who believes that Almighty God and Christ, the son of God, are one person, God of God, Light of Light; and let no one, by rejection, dishonor the Holy Spirit, whom we expect, and have received from the Supreme Parent of all things, in whom the sentiment of a pure and undefiled faith flourishes, as well as the belief in the undivided substance of a Holy Trinity, which true believers indicate by the Greek word

 These things, indeed do not require further proof, and should be respected.

   (2) Let those who do not accept those doctrines cease to apply the name of true religion to their fraudulent belief; and let them be branded with their open crimes, and, having been removed from the threshhold of all churches, be utterly excluded from them, as We forbid all heretics to hold unlawful assemblies within cities. If, however, any seditious outbreak should be attempted, We order them to be driven outside the the walls of the City, with relentless violence, and We direct that all Catholic Churches, throughout the entire world, shall be placed under the control of the orthodox bishops who have embraced the Nicene Creed.

   Given at Constantinople, on the fourth of the ides of January, under the Consulate of Flavius Eucharius and Flavius Syagrius."

The above is from the Justinian code written in 534 A.D. which is 4 years prior to the 1260 year rule of the Papacy. Notice the exhaltion of the trinity doctrine and the anathematizing of any Christian who did not adhere to this doctrine even to the point of relentless violence. The three horns that the little horn uprooted were non trinitarian Christians. They were the Vandals, Ostrogoths and Heruli.

In 538, Papal supremacy began after the conquering of the third horn. Let's look at the book of Daniel in regards to the Papacy:

Daniel 11:37-39 (KJV)

37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

The Papacy does not regard the God of his Father's but magnifies himself above all. Remember the Pope carries the title "Holy Father" which is blasphemy as Jesus said we have one Father who is in heaven. The God of Forces is an interesting description of the little horn's god.

The hebrew word for "forces" is "ma'owz" and means "a fortified place; figuratively, a defence:-force, fort(-ress), rock, strength(-en), strong (hold)."

Although we cannot directly ascertain a connection to a trinity god out of this definition, it certainly seems as if the trinity doctrine during the 1260 year reign of the papal antichrist was a god of forces. The rejection of the trinity doctrine meant death at the stake for those who dared deny it as trith. Even the Reformers were earnest persecuters of those who denied the trinity. John Calvin had non trinitarian Michael Severutus put to death for his denial of the trinity doctrine. This doctrine was a stronghold and fortress (forces) during the 1260 year period of Papal rule.

In verse 39, it says the Papal antichrist acknowledges and increases with glory a "strange god". Remember, it was about the time of Justinian's code where he exhalted the most holy Trinity and anathematized non trinitarians, that the Papacy came into ultimate power. Justinian set the table for the Papacy to have ultimate rule and he did this by exhalting the trinity god as the god of the Universal Church and forbade non trinitarian Christians from having assemblies. This paved the way for the Papacy to increase with glory the strange trinity god as the Non trinitarian Christian tribes (three plucked up horns) were now decimated and out of the RomanCatholic Church's pathway to dominance over Christendom. This clear pathway for the Papacy was in 538, 4 years after Justinian's decree to exhalt the most holy Trinity.

It is clear from scripture and Church history that the trinity is the strange god refrenced in Daniel 11:39.

The hebrew word for "strange" is "nekar" (Hebrew Strongs 5236) and means "foreign, or (concretely) a foreigner, or (abstractly) heathendom:- alien, strange (+ - er)".

The above definition of strange according to the hebrew is a laser point accurate definition of the trinity doctrine. The Holy Trinity is a foreign god that was not known by the Patriarchs and Prophets. It is a heathen false concept of God and is alien to the scriptures.

Could history repeat itself? Although many trinitarian Christians have been some of the most loving people, the history of this doctrine has been one of violence and murder. Trinitarian's have historically been violent persecuters of not only non trinitarian Christians but also people of other faiths including the Native Americans. Much like god of Islam, the trinity god has inspired it's followers to commit bloodshed against those who didn't accept it.

Remember,  you cannot separate the Holy Trinity god from Sunday worship. Where the Sunday Sabbath is the mark of the beast, the trinity doctrine is the name of the beast, a name of blasphemy!!!

The Law of Jehovah is to be bound on our hand and forehead

Deuteronomy 11:18-28 (ASV)

18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and ye shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. 19 And ye shall teach them your children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 20 And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates; 21 that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Jehovah sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.22 For if ye shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you, to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him; 23 then will Jehovah drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves. 24 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the [a]hinder sea shall be your border.25 There shall no man be able to stand before you: Jehovah your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath spoken unto you.

26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse: 27 the blessing, if ye shall hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I command you this day; 28 and the curse, if ye shall not hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

Another example of Jehovah's law being bound on our hand and on our frontlets (foreheads). We are to have his law bound on our hand and forehead. We are to have His law in our hearts (mind) and our hand (actions). We are to teach our children Jehovah's law and we are to constantly meditate on His Royal Law.

Obedience to Jehovah's law yields a blessing and actually prolongs one's life. We are to diligently (verse 22) keep his commandments.

The hebrew word for diligently is "shamar" (Hebrew Strongs 8104) and means "to hedge about, guard, generally to protect, attend to, etc.: be circumspect, take heed (to self), keep, mark, look narrowly, observe, preserve, regard, save (self), sure, (that lay) wait (for), watch(-man)."

We are to guard, protect and attend to Jehovah's law. Verse 22 says we are to walk in all His ways. His ways are found in His law. We are to cleave unto Jehovah which is done through His Son Jesus which gives us the new life that allows us to obey to the law.

Jehovah's promise to the Israelites was conditional hinging on their obedience to the law.

Verse 26 and 27, Jehovah sets before us a blessing and a curse. A blessing if  we obey Jehovah's commandments. A curse if we disobey the law of Jehovah which is most notably manifested in following other gods. Most of Christendom is following after a strange god called the Trinity. This was the natural result of doing away and changing Jehovah's Royal Law. The apostasy of the early Church led to the council of Nicea which introduced the strange Trinity god. Once we do away with or change Jehovah's law, the end result is the worship of strange gods.

Verse 32, Jehovah commands the Congregation to observe His statutes and judgments. The same command is for the Congregation today.

1 John 5:2-3 (KJV)

2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Knowledge!

The Spirit of Knowledge- The Holy Spirit is the Spirit  of clarity of mind. Jehovah's Spirit doesn't lead to confusion (Babylon) but rather to true knowledge. Manifestations that take place in Churches that lead to confusion are evidence that the Holy Spirit is not in those manifestations. Speaking in babbling (babel) tongues is one such manifestation of confusion. The Spirit of the prophets is subject to the prophets.

1st Corinthians 14:31-33 (KJV)

31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

The Holy Spirit leads to self-control not kaos and confusion. When the indwelling Jehovah is in us, it is subject to our rational mind. Remember, the the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of knowledge and understanding so these qualities are in use when we have the Spirit in us. The Holy Spirit will give us strength and power from on high but it won't cause to us to exhibit fanatical manifestations. Jehovah is not a God of confusion but of peace.

When you walk into a Church and see people dancing like the world and shaking their bodies in violent convulsions and attribute this to the Holy Spirit, they grieve the Spirit as these manifestations are of the devil. The fruit of the Holy Spirit is self control.

Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV)

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

There will be those who accuse Christians, who expose the works of darkness within the Churches that are attributed to the Holy Spirit, as just having head knowledge and not being Spirit filled. However, the bible clearly says that the Spirit of Jehovah gives us knowledge, wisdom and understanding.

Isaiah 11:1-2 (ASV)

11 And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit. 2 And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah.

One of the true evidences of the Holy Spirit is when we exhibit wisdom, knowledge and understanding. These qualities of the Holy Spirit will allow us to discern legitimate works of the Spirit versus counterfeit manifestations. Jesus our Jehovah received this without measure during his ministry and now sends us His Spirit so that He can live in us by His Holy Spirit.

Colossians 1:27 (KJV)

27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Christ in us is the hope of glory not a third divine being called "god the holy spirit".

 “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.” “And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him because we keep his commandments and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.” “And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Little children keep yourselves from idols.” The Lord is soon to come. We want that complete and perfect understanding which the Lord alone can give. It is not safe to catch the spirit from another. WE WANT THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. If we commune with God, we shall have strength and grace and efficiency.” {Lt66-1894 (April 10, 1894) par. 18} - EGW

Ellen White says it clearly, it is not safe to catch the spirit from another and that the Holy Spirit is Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is Christ divested of humanity. When we have a false concept of the Holy Spirit, it can lead to confusion which is what we see in many of the Churches of Christendom with their fanatical expressions. The Spirit of Christ will cause us to live like our Jehovah and keep His commandments as He kept His Father's commandments.

 "JEHOVAH, OUR FATHER, AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST ARE ALONE TO BE EXALTED. The knowledge of God is eternal life to those who receive it. His holy banner is to standing elevated above all the greatness of the greatest men, above all the honor and glory of the world.” {Ms11-1898 (June 29, 1898) par. 11} - EGW

According to the Spirit of Prophecy, the knowledge of Jehovah leads to eternal life. We receive this knowledge when we have the Spirit of God and Christ in us. The Spirit of the indwelling Jehovah is the Spirit of knowledge.

Jesus is the Son of God!

The Foundation of Christianity

Matthew 26:62-64 (KJV)

62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

63 But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

The above passage gives us a clear picture of what the controversy was between the unbelieving Jews and Jesus.  This was the night before the trial before the Sanhedrin.

In verse 62, the high priest questions Jesus on what it was that he was accused of. There were witnesses that were accusing Jesus of something. What was that something? Verse 63 tells us!

Verse 63, the high priest then demands (adjures) an answer from Jesus regarding the accusations made against Him. Notice the words of the High Priest "I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of the living God."

First, I want to give a definition for the word "adjure", by knowing this it will help realize how binding Jesus statement is when He affirms the high priest's accusation against Him.

The greek word for "adjure" is "exorkizo" (strongs 1844) and means "to extract an oath, to force an oath, to adjure".

So the high priest was trying to extract an oath from Jesus.

How does Jesus respond to the high priest's attempt at forcing an oath out of Jesus? Jesus words below:

"Thou hast said"

The greek word for "said" is "epo" (strongs 2036) and means "say, speak, command, tell".

Jesus can't lie so clearly He affirmed the accusation made against Him that He is the Son of the living God. Jesus didn't fall into the trap of making an oath but rather simply said "Thou hast said". Jesus agreed with the accusation against Him. Today, many theologians and pastors are doing the same thing as the unbelieving Jews in rejecting the Sonship of Christ.

These men are either knowingly or unknowingly calling Jesus a liar as He confirmed that He is the Son of the living God. From this passage we see that the controversy during Jesus earthly life was whether He was the Christ and the Son of the living God or if he was a false teacher. Jesus being the living God was not even a point of contention as both Jesus and the Jewish religious leaders agreed that there was only one God (Mark 12:28-34).

John 10:29-36 (KJV)

29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

30 I and my Father are one.

31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

Verse 29, Jesus affirms that the Father gave him the sheep (followers of Jesus). Notice Jesus clear words right here that destroy the trinity doctrine: "My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all"

The greek word for "greater than" is "meizon" (strongs 3187) and means "larger (literally or figuratively, specially, in age): - elder, greater(-est), more.

Jesus makes a clear declaration that the Father is oldest being in the universe and the most powerful (greater than all). Jesus includes Himself in this as He used the word "all".

The word for "all" in the greek is "pas" and means "all, any, every, the whole:-all (manner of, means), always, any (one)  as many as, every (one, way), daily, + ever, as many as, + no (thing), thoroughly, whatsoever, whole, whosoever."

When Jesus says the Father is greater (older and more powerful) than all, He means it and is in included in this statement.

Verse 30, Jesus tells the Jews that He and the Father are one. We know this verse speaks to the oneness of the Father and Son in every way except of course them being "one being". They are one is Spirit, purpose and unity. Even in our worship they are one as we are to honour the Son as we honour the Father.

Verse 31-33, This is where the Jews picked up stones as they believed Jesus was making himself God. Jesus responds  by telling them that He showed them good works from His Father. Remember, Jesus can do nothing without the Father as what He sees the Father do and say, He then does and says (John 5:30, John 5:19). Remember, Jesus is the Word of God not the Word of Himself. The Father was/is the source of what the Son says and does.

Verse 34-35, look at Jesus words here "Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?"

This reference by Jesus is from Psalms 82:6 which reads:
 "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High."

This  scripture is in refrence to the rulers and judges of Israel. The word for "gods" here in the Psalm is the Hebrew word "elohim" and means "gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God. occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative: - angels, exceeding, God (gods)(-dess,-ly), (very), great, judges, mighty."

The word God/god either in the greek or Hebrew isn't always a refrence to the Almighty God. It can also be used for Human rulers as in the judges of Israel or even of false gods and even satan. It can be used for angels as well. Elohim can simply mean "Mighty One". The Father is the Almighty Elohim, so when it is used regarding others it is in respect to their position rather than an identity of being "Almighty God".

When Elohim is used for Jesus, it is in respect to His literal Sonship (John 20:28-31). There should be no objection to calling Jesus God/Elohim as even human magistrates were called elohim/gods. For human rulers elohim is an honorary title, for Jesus it's who He is as the literal Son of Jehovah God.

Jesus is telling the Jews if the scripture cannot be broken, meaning it stands, then it is acceptable to call those by whom the word of God came "gods". How much more can we call Jesus God, being that not only is the Word of God coming to the Jews through Him, but He is the Word of God and as we see in verse 36, Jesus is the Son of God.

Verse 36, Jesus clarifies His identity to the offended Jews as He says "Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?"

Look at the clear statement of Jesus, even though it is very appropriate to call Jesus God, He makes the clarification that He is the Son of God. So many in Christendom fail to qoute verse 36 when talking about this series of scriptures in John 10. The love qouting verse 33 but almost never qoute verse 36. This passage teaches that it is very appropriate to call Jesus God as His Godship is tied to His literal Sonship and the scripture cannot be broken.

When we call Jesus God it is not merely an honourary title nor is it a declaration that He is the Almighty living God, but rather that He truly is the Divine Son of God.
