“3And in those days a whirlwind carried me off from the earth, and set me down at the end of the heavens. 4There I saw another vision, the dwelling-places of the holy and the righteous. 5Here my eyes saw their dwellings with His righteous angels and the holy. And they asked, interceded, and prayed for the children of men, and righteousness flowed before them like water, and mercy like dew upon the earth. Thus it is among them forever.”

“The Civil calendar is the only calendar used in Genesis and Exodus. When God told Moses to start numbering the days in the Spring, the sacred or religious calendar was created. From this point on, we must look at the passage to see which calendar is being used. All the dates given in this book are based on the civil calendar. The civil calendar is the standard one used by Jews today. This is why the Jewish new year takes place in the Fall.”

“So what was the Synagogue of Satan? You might be surprised to find out there are two types of the Synagogue of Satan. They are the ones that “say they are Jews but are not.” The Synagogue of Satan always tries to say that the church has replaced Israel. This was done in two ways.   Judaizing Christians – Legalism/Ebionites The Judaizers said that since the church has replaced Israel, the church has to observe the Mosaic Law. We call this “legalism” or “Judaising.” This type insisted that believers must be circumcised, not eat pork, and keep the Sabbath. Paul, in Titus 1:10-11, stated that people who teach this kind of theology “must be silenced!” These are the ones that forced the formation of the first Jerusalem Council, recorded in Acts 15, to create a decree that the Mosaic Law has nothing to do with salvation.   Replacement Theology By the third century the Jewish form of legalism had long vanished. All that was left was Replacement Theology.”

“And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words.” Matthew 6:7   Reincarnation Paul states, in 1 Corinthians 15, that to be a Christian one must believe in the physical resurrection of the body. This is impossible if you believe in reincarnation.   “But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain.”     1 Corinthians 15:13-14   Celibacy, Vegetarianism, & Jewish Festivals “But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons… men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods…” 1 Timothy 4:1,3”

“Church Fathers on the End Times The Church Fathers taught pre-millennialism in the first three centuries. Here are the pre-millennial teachings from the Fathers in their order:   1.        The Roman Empire would split in two. (This took place in AD 395.) 2.        The Roman Empire would fall apart. (This took place in AD 476.) 3.        Out of what was the Roman Empire, ten nations would spring up. These are the ten toes/horns of Daniel’s prophecies. 4.        A literal demon-possessed man, called the Antichrist, will ascend to power. 5.        The Antichrist’s name, if spelled out in Greek, will add up to 666. 6.        The Antichrist will sign a peace treaty between the Jews in Israel and the local non-believers there. This treaty will last seven years. 7.        This seven-year treaty is the last seven years of the “sets of sevens” prophecy in Daniel 9. 8.        At the end of the seven years, Jesus will return to earth, destroy the Antichrist, and establish reign of peace that will last for a literal 1000 years. 9.        They wrote they were taught these things by the apostles. They also wrote that anyone who rises up in the church and begins to say any of these things are symbolic, are immature Christians that can’t rightly divide the word of God, and should not be listened too. (Today these beliefs are included in the doctrines of most of, but not all of, the Reformed, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Eastern Orthodox, and Roman Catholic churches!)   Here are some of the references from the early church fathers on the End Times:   “After the resurrection of the dead, Jesus will personally reign for 1000 years. He was taught this by the apostle John himself.” Papias Fragment 6   “The man of Sin, spoken of by Daniel, will rule two (three) times and a half, before the Second Advent… There will be a literal 1000 year reign of Christ… The man of apostasy, who speaks strange things against the Most High, shall venture to do unlawful deeds on the earth against us, the believers.” Justin Martyr Dialogue 32,81,110”

“Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day” Colossians 2:16   Resurrection, Idolatry, and the Christ Consciousness The ancient church identified several individuals who left the true faith and had to be excommunicated. In 2 Timothy 2:17, Paul wrote Hymenaeus and Philetus taught the resurrection had already occurred. Tertullian wrote in Flesh of Christ 16, that Alexander left the true faith and joined a subgroup of the Ebionites who followed several heresies: that Jesus was just a man with a sin nature, that there is no physical resurrection and that people can become sinless by obtaining the Christ Consciousness. Hypolytus wrote in The 70 Disciples that Demas forsook the true faith and became a priest of idols. (Propbably a Carpocratian Gnostic.) Lastly, Tertullian wrote in On the Resurrection that Phygellus and Hermogenes denied there would be a resurrection of the physical body. Instead, they taught the Gnostic teaching of reincarnation. ”

“God/Christ consciousness, and universalism.   We will categorize these as “emergent mystics.”   Emergent mystics are teaching: There is a Christ consciousness The Emergent Church can redefine and reshape Christianity in their own image Biblical prophecy is not important Mankind is divine (doctrine of emanations) Occultic mediation renamed “contemplative prayer” People of all faiths can be saved without Jesus Christ”

“And it came to pass in those days, in the hundred and tenth year of the life of Isaac, that is in the fiftieth year of the life of Jacob, in that year died Shem the son of Noah; Shem was six hundred years old at his death.

“The way of the cross, the way of Lao Tzu, the way of the Buddha, the way of Islam and the way of Judaism all speak of the same path… All refer to the same transformation of self.” Marcus Borg, The Heart of Christianity, p. 216   This is what the Bible prophesies predict would be the state of the end time Apostate Church. But, then again. the Emergent Movement reinterprets prophecy, too.   Emergent Prophecy End time prophecy is reinterpreted to be symbolic of who we overcome, by creating this one-world religion in which you can be saved without Jesus.   “In the twinkling of an eye, we are all”

“Unsound Doctrines of Demons This section comes from the New Testament Epistles. The obvious ones are just listed and referenced but some require a bit of explanation:   Mantras & Meditation In Matthew 6:7, Jesus said not to pray like the heathen do, using “vain repetitions.” This is done in the form of mantras. A mantra is a word or phrase repeated over and over until one enters an altered state of consciousness. This is also done by breathing techniques, also called “breath prayers.” Any form of eastern meditation that creates an altered state of conciseness would be praying like the heathen do.”

“Valentinus  Saving faith comes from your spirit (The Holy Spirit is really your human sprit, compare with the teachings of The Way International), if you are one of the chosen.23 (born saved)  Only those whose spirit is an emanation from Sophia, are predestined to be saved. All others are predestined to hell.23 (double predestination)  Those not predestined to be saved or predestined for hell might be saved through good works.35  Those predestined for salvation do not need to practice good works.36   “When they are called Phrygians, Novatians, Valentinians, Marcionites, Anthropians, or Arians they have ceased to be Christians.” Lactantius Divine Institutes 4.30   1.”

“The church began to think they did not have to observe the Mosaic Law, but since it had replaced Israel, it inherited all of her blessings. The prophecies that would have been fulfilled by Israel were now thought to be fulfilled by the church. If it was not possible for the church to fulfill the prophecies, then they were spiritualized away. This doctrine denies that God would bring Israel back in the last days and completely opposes the pre-millennial teaching of the First and Second Century Church Fathers.”

“AD 606 Thyatira – Jezebel, Depths of Satan Thyatira means “continual sacrifice.” This period ranged from AD 606-1517. Those who hold to the false doctrine of Jezebel, her children, or the other depths of Satan will not be Raptured out before the Great Tribulation (Rev. 2:22). Three errors are mentioned here. First, Jezebel teaches “eating food sacrificed to an idol.” It was in this time period that the idea of the Mass began, which is a continual sacrifice of the wine and the wafer from an image of a sunburst, called a “monstrance.” The false doctrine of transubstantiation/consubstantiation came into the church at this same time. When a priest blesses”

“He wanted to be worshiped as God and actually tried to take God’s throne. How could any rational being think for one second that he might have power enough to force the only creator God out of His throne? No rational being would. Nor would Lucifer; unless, he believed his own lie. What was Lucifer’s lie?   Lucifer’s lie was this: God is not separate from His creation. When God puts His spirit into a newly created being, He looses part of Himself. In the Jewish Kabala this concept is called the Doctrine of Emanations.   In other words, if God created 100 billion people and put His spirit into each one of them, at that point the Bible would say God is still 100% God and Man is 0% God. Lucifer, on the other hand, would say at that point God might be, say, 47% God and all humans collectively would equate to 53% God.”

“Dangers of Meditation In the chapter on Prayer vs.  Meditation, I told you of my experiences with the Eckankar Mystics, and how everyone there knew of the dangers of meditation.   It has been reported that those who practice Contemplative Prayer often experience the same serious problems as the Hindus when practicing the serpent meditation commonly referred to as Kundalini Meditation.   Emergent Church speaker, Richard Foster, warns other emergents of the same dangers inherent with contemplative prayer in his book.   “I want to give you a word of precaution. In the silent contemplation of God we are entering deeply into the spiritual realm… sometimes it is not the realm of God [emphasis mine] even though it is supernatural… there are various orders of spiritual beings, and some of them are definitely not in cooperation with God and His way! …A prayer of protection should be said beforehand, something to the effect of ‘all dark and evil spirits must now leave’” Richard Foster, Prayer: Finding the Hearts True Home, p. 157”

“But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be My people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour,”

“This was a lie. The young prophet believed the old prophet and went back with him. The LORD said because the young prophet disobeyed God’s instructions, he would die. On the way back home, the young prophet was killed by a lion. Even though someone, even a true prophet, says “the LORD said” or “an angel told me” does not mean he is not lying or has not deceived himself. Always check what God says in the Scriptures. To do this”

“before the Rapture of the true church.   We have already seen the major steps of the apostasy from the seven churches and in so doing we have also looked at the teaching of the ancient church fathers on this subject. Before we build our master list, we want to look at a few other Scriptures and quotes from the fathers to be as complete as we can. Then we can see how far we have to go to reach the worst and thereby how close we might be to the Rapture of the church.   Doctrines of Demons Mantra – Matt. 6:7 Meditation – Matt. 6:7 Reincarnation – 1 Cor 15:13 Celibacy – 1 Tim 4:3 Vegetarianism – 1 Tim 4:3 Observe Jewish festivals – Col 2 Resurrection had already occurred Jesus is a sinner No future resurrection There is a Christ consciousness Homosexuality acceptable – Rom 1, 1 Cor 6 Evolution – 2 Pet 3”

“Emergent Church    We have seen mysticism creep into the church from the pagans and Gnostic cults. We have documented that the ancient church was vehemently against the ideas of meditation, Christ consciousness, and man being divine. The ancient church fathers also prophesied that at the end of the church age many in the church would apostatize and adopt these false teachings.   We have traced the false doctrines that man is divine and the pantheistic idea that God is in everything, from the birth of the Mystics (Christian occultists) under Saint Anthony, c270 AD, up to Catholic Thomas Merton, c1968 AD.   Today we have a movement called the “Emergent Church” which is adopting these ideas of mediation, contemplative prayer,”
