<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">In A.D. 950 Adso of Montier-en-Der wrote a "Treatise on the Antichrist" which was a response to a number of mid-century crises that had provoked widespread alarm and fear of an end-time apocalypse.(5) Five years later, Abbo of Fleury heard a preacher in Paris who announced that the Antichrist would be unleashed in the year 1000 and that the Last Judgment would soon follow.(6) At about the same time a panic occurred in the German army of Emperor Otto I because of a solar eclipse that the soldiers mistook as a sign of the end of the world.(7) And when the last Carolingian dynasty fell with the death of King Louis V in 987, many saw this event as a precursor to the arrival of the Antichrist. King Otto II of Germany had Charlemagne's body exhumed on Pentecost in the year 1000 supposedly in order to forestall the apocalypse. Both Halley's comet in A.D. 989 and a super nova in A.D. 1006 were interpreted as signs of the end. About the same time, the Moslem caliph, Al Hakim, destroyed the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem prompting apocalyptic fear in the west as well as violent anti-Jewish outbursts.(8)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">This year goes down as one of the most pronounced states of hysteria over the return of Christ. All members of society seemed affected by the prediction that Jesus was coming back on Jan 1, 1000 AD. There really weren't any of the events required by the Bible transpiring at that time. The magical number 1000 was primarily the sole reason for the expectation. During December 999 AD, everyone was on their best behavior; worldly goods were sold and given to the poor, swarms of pilgrims headed east to meet the Lord at Jerusalem, buildings went unrepaired, crops were left unplanted, and criminals were set free from jails. The year 999 AD turned into 1000 AD and nothing happened.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">The Calabrian monk, Joachim of Fiore (ca. A.D. 1135 1202) stands out as a key figure in medieval apocalypticism. On Easter Sunday in 1183 he was inspired to write his massive Exposition on Revelation. Later near the end of his life, he summarized his prophetic knowledge in the Book of Figures. His writings influenced a wide range of medieval events. The Franciscan order was founded on the basis that they would be the spiritual elite described in Joachim's "Age of the Spirit," a future time when God would send revelation directly to believers. Using Joachim's hints, writers concluded that the "Age of Grace" would end and the "Age of the Spirit" would begin in A.D. 1260. This prophecy, mixed with German social unrest, created a myth surrounding Frederick II. Having ruled from 1220 to 1250, many believed that Frederick was the "Emperor of the Last Days" who would usher in the new Millennium.The myth gained force when Frederick seized Jerusalem in 1229. When he died in 1250, a new myth started that Frederick would return from the dead. Two pseudo-Fredericks were burned at the stake by his successor to the throne. The Book of a Hundred Chapters stated that the returned Frederick would lead a fight against corruption in the state and the church, and that he will instruct his followers to "Go on hitting them" (referring to the Pope and his students) and to "Kill every one of them!"

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">The Taborites, founded in A.D. 1415, also looked back to Joachim for their prophetic beliefs. They believed that once their persecutors were defeated, Christ would return and rule the world from Mount Tabor, a mountain they had renamed south of Prague. Their communal activities eventually turned bloody, prompted by tracts with lines like, "Accursed be the man who withholds his sword from shedding the blood of the enemies of Christ." (</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Paul Boyer, <i>When Time Shall Be No More: Prophecy Belief in Modern American Culture</i>, Cambridge, Mass.: The Belknap Press, Harvard University, 1992, p. 53-55</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">) After a crushing defeat at the hands of the German army, the group quickly disbanded. Although all of these prophecies were misguided, it would be a mistake to doubt the sincerity of the individuals. However, the events surrounding the end of the first millennium should temper our desire to make predictions about the coming new millennium. Next, we will look at more recent predictions that have been just as wrong.</span></div>

The build up of anticipation continued until March 21, 1844, when Miller's one year time table ran out. Some followers set another date of Oct 22, 1844. This too failed, collapsing the movement. One follower described the days after the failed predictions, "The world made merry over the old Prophet's predicament. The taunts and jeers of the 'scoffers' were well-nigh unbearable."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">"Scientists are forecasting that soon our solar system will experience some unique and sobering events. This forecast concerning 1982 comes from the scientific investigations of astronomers and is in no way related to astrology and fortune telling. The news is quoted from the September 16, 1974 edition of "Newsweek" magazine, science section. These are the conclusions of John Gribbin, science editor of "Nature" magazine, and of Stephen Plagemann of NASA's Goddard Space Center in Maryland. These reputable scientists are pointing out that in the latter part of 1982 there will take place an event unique in our solar system. At that time all nine planets will be on the same side of the sun. That happens once every 179 years, but in 1982 the nine planets will not only be on the same side of the sun, but in perfect alignment. "Newsweek" referred to this situation as "An Apocalyptic Prediction:' In the book that these men have co-authored, "The Jupiter Effect", they point out that, just as the moon affects earth tides by its gravitational pull, so do the planets affect each other, and particularly Jupiter, because of its great size. This has been linked to the earthquake frequency on our planet earth. What will happen when all the planets come into one line and exert a united gravitational pull on our earth? These scientists speak of eight probable effects: 1) A disturbed magnetic activity in the sun, producing huge firestorms; 2) That the ionosphere of earth will be changed; 3) That radio and television communications will be disrupted; 4) That there will be weird lighting effects from aurora borealis; 5) There will be vast changes in wind patterns; 6) Rainfall and temperature patterns will change; 7) Earth's rotation, and the length of the days may change; 8) Many earthquakes will occur. "There will be many earthquakes, large and small... and one region where one of the greatest fault systems lies today, under great strain, long overdue for a giant leap forward, and just waiting for the necessary kick, is California." This is the frightening, apocalyptic vision of the scientists as quoted in "Newsweek." (Evangelical Tract Distributors, Edmonton, Alta., Canada)"</span></div>

I personally had friends who were measuring themselves for wings. In the dorm where we lived, my friends were also openly confronting all of the unsaved. It became my job to defuse to situations. In one case, an accosted sinner was contemplating dispensary action against my now distant friends. Finally, the days of destiny dawned and then set. No Jesus. The environment was not the same as Miller's 1844 failure. To my surprise, the taunting by the unsaved was very brief. I took it that people have very little understanding of the Bible, so they had nothing to taunt my friends with. I made one other interesting observation. The time for the rapture was a 3 day window from Sept 11 to the 13 - my friends had given up hope on the morning of 12.

He had used the money to buy bonds that matured after the end of the world! Numerology was the basis for the date. Several camera shots that left ghostly images on pictures was thought to be a supernatural confirmation of the date. The cult looked forward to the Second Coming at 9:00 am on this day. They believed that Jesus would return through Sydney Harbour! They had their prayers and songs. At the fatal hour there was a loud countdown of the final seconds - 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, etc. The leaders disappeared after an hour hiding their faces from reporters. One reporter was punched. Some disappointed members committed suicide, probably because they gave all their worldly assets to Lee Jang Rim. Originally from Korea, Australia was the home base, which was abandoned and the phone disconnected for non-payment of the bill.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Pastor John Hinkle of Christ Church Los Angels caused quite a stir when he announced he had received a vision for God that warned of apocalyptic event on June 9th, 1994. Hinkle, quoting God, said, "On Thursday June the 9th, I will rip the evil out of this world." At the time, I knew Hinkle's vision didn't match up with scripture. From a proper reading of Bible prophecy, the only thing that God could possible rip from the earth would be the Christian Church, and I don't think God would refer to the Church as "evil." Some people tried to reinterpret the Hinkle's unscriptural vision to mean that God would the rip evil out of our hearts when he raptured us. Well, the date came and went with no heart surgery or rapture.</span></div>

This would make the time interval between the creation of the world and a common estimate of the birth of Christ to be precisely 4000 years. Some people believe that Ussher fudged the data to make it come out neatly. He also estimated that the end of the world would occur exactly 6000 years later, in the fall of 1996.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Stan Johnson of the Prophecy Club saw a 90 percent chance that the tribulation would start Sept 12, 1997. He bases his conclusion on several end-time signs. The date of September 12 was chosen by Johnson because it will be Jesus' 2000th birthday and it will also be the day of atonement, although not what is currently the Jewish Day of Atonement. Further supporting evidence came from Romanian pastor Dumitru Duduman. In several heavenly visions, Dumitru claimed to had seen the book of life. In one of his earlier visions, there were several pages yet to be completed. In his last vision he noticed the book of life only had one page left. Doing some rough calculating, Johnson and friends figured the latest time frame for the completion of the book of life would have to be September 1997.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Dan Millar, of Surrey, BC, Canada and Bob Wadsworth of the <i>Biblical Astronomy</i>newsletter are two religious researchers. They are following the age-old tradition of looking for signs in the heavens for the arrival of the Antichrist, return of Christ, etc. Ancient prophecies told of heavenly events and even a cross in the sky in advance of momentous developments. Millar and Wadsworth have predicted the arrival of the Antichrist on APR-10. Dan suggested that we watch news from the Vatican and from Jerusalem on that day, because he expects some sort of coup by the Antichrist. He is expected to come to power in the Vatican as Pope Peter II. One heavenly indicator is the intersection by two comets of the star Algol in the constellation Perseus. Comets Hyakutake and Hale-Bopp intersected the star on the same date (APR-11) on two adjacent years (Hyakutake in 1996 and Hale-Bopp in 1997). Plotting the two comets' trajectories over the period APR-1 to APR-30 on the two years forms an almost perfect cross. They intersect between the eyes of the Medusa head that Perseus is holding in his left hand. "Algol" means "Demon Star" in Arabic. The head is known as Rosh Satan (the head of Satan) in Hebrew. There will be one further heavenly sign: on the evening of APR-10, there will be a lunar occultation of the star Aldebaran in the constellation Taurus.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Dan Millar, mentioned above, estimates this date as that of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Four events happen on that day, a Thursday. The sidereal day is reset. It is also the Jewish New Year, using the Canaanite calendar that was in use within ancient Israel prior to the Babylonian Captivity. It is the time of the Jewish "Feast of Jubilees" according to a message given by the Virgin Mary to Father Stefan Gobbi. This feast occurs only once every fifty years. This date is also the Autumn Equinox.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Jack Van Impe Ministries sponsors the largest Evangelical Christian program devoted to end-time prophecy. In his home page, he discusses his book <i>"On the Edge of Eternity"</i> in which he predicts that the year 2001 will <i>"usher in international chaos such as we've never seen in our history."</i> He predicts that in 2001, and the years following, the world will experience <i>"drought, war, malaria, and hunger afflicting entire populations throughout the [African] continent...By the year 2001, there will be global chaos."</i> Islam will become much larger than Christianity. (That would take a sudden growth spurt; Islam is currently followed by 19% of the world's population vs 33% for Christianity). A one-world church will emerge; it will be <i>"controlled by demonic hosts."</i> Temple rituals (presumably including animal sacrifice) will resume in Israel.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">A deluded follower of "Wacky Weinland" says:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Eager anticipation of just what is going on in terms of bible prophecy etc. Well let me give you an update:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">The 1335 days of Daniel 7 started the countdown to the second coming, the sealing of the 144,000 on Feb 2. and Satan's grip on the scattered brethren began to loosen. The 1260 day is April 17th. This will be the blowing of the first trumpet of the last 7. It will be marked by major events. One is probably a nuclear attack on the U.S. which may occur on that day, a bit before or a bit after - but no later tan April 30, the other is an event to take place in Washington when the present Pope will make a speech. At this time Satan will enter him and be in charge of him from then on. A possibility is that this Pope may die soon. April 17 also marks the day that the 2 witnesses will begin to do their work. On April 19 is the Passover and Ronald Weinland will reveal the identity of the other witness. ........As well watch for the probable deaths of the leaders of some of the major offshoots of the WCG- like the UCG, LCG and PCG, not to mention the imminent deaths of many celebrities in the fields of entertainment and sports!........All sounds a bit far-fetched eh! Well time will tell and this month will be over in 30 days. If nothing happens, who knows, I may be looking into your church a bit more deeply. ....</span></div>

Now that Campings 2<sup>nd</sup> prediction for the end of the world has failed, Camping must attend one of our churches to learn the truth of God in the Bible. He must also sell all his worldly assets, including his radio empire and donate the money to the very churches he ridiculed. After all Camping has been telling everyone to leave every church on earth and listen to him alone. Therefore, the money he got to promote his false doctrine actually came from the treasuries of the churches whose members left the church!</div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">On October 21st, the world will be destroyed by fire.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">ONE DAY IS AS 1000 YEARS The child of God has learned from the Bible that the language of Genesis 7 has a twofold meaning: Genesis 7:4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Historically, as God spoke these words, there were seven days remaining for Noah, his family, and the animals to get into the safety of the ark; but spiritually (and the Bible is a spiritual book), God was speaking to all of the people of the world and was declaring that sinful mankind would have 7000 years to find refuge in the salvation provided by Jesus Christ. How can we know that? We know this is so based on what we read in 2 Peter, chapter 3:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">The context of 2 Peter 3 is extremely important! In the first few verses, God refers us to the destruction of the world by the flood during Noah's day. Then we find an interesting admonition that we ought not to be ignorant of one thing, which is, 1 day is as 1000 years, and 1000 years is as 1 day. Immediately following this bit of information is a very vivid description of the end of the present world by fire.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">What could God be telling us by identifying 1 day along with 1000 years?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Since we recently have discovered the Biblical calendar of history on the pages of the Bible, we find that the flood of Noah's day occurred in the year 4990 BC. This date is completely accurate (for further information on the Biblical timeline of history, please go to: www.familyradio.com). It was in the year 4990 BC that God revealed to Noah that there would be yet 7 days until the flood of waters would be upon the earth. Now, if we substitute 1000 years for each one of those 7 days, we get 7000 years. And when we project 7000 years into the future from 4990 BC, we find that it falls on the year 2011 AD.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">4990 + 2011 = 7001</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Note: When counting from an Old Testament date to a New Testament date, always subtract one year because there is no year zero, resulting in:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">4990 + 2011 - 1 = 7000 years exactly.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">The year 2011 AD will be the 7000th year from the flood of Noah's day. It will be the end of the length of time given to mankind to find grace in God's sight. This means that the time to find refuge in Christ has grown extremely short. We are only a little ways off from the year 2011 AD!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">THE RAPTURE: MAY 21st, 2011</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">We know that the year 2011 is the 7000th year from the flood. We also know that God will destroy this world in that year. But when in 2011 will this occur?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">The answer is amazing. Let's take another look at the flood account in the book of Genesis:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Faithful to His Word, God did bring the flood 7 days later in the 600th year, on the 17th day of the 2nd month of the calendar aligned with Noah's lifespan. It was on this 17th day of the 2nd month that God shut the door on the ark, securing the safety of its occupants and also sealing the fate of everyone else in the world outside of the ark. They would all now certainly perish in that worldwide catastrophe.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Earlier it was mentioned that the church age came to an end in the year 1988 AD. It so happens that the church age began on the day of Pentecost (May 22nd) in the year 33 AD. Then 1955 years later, the church age came to its conclusion on May 21st, which was the day before Pentecost in 1988.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">On May 21st, 1988, God finished using the churches and congregations of the world. The Spirit of God left all churches and Satan, the man of sin, entered into the churches to rule at that point in time. The Bible teaches us that this awful period of judgment upon the churches would last for 23 years. A full 23 years (8400 days exactly) would be from May 21 st, 1988 until May 21st, 2011. This information was discovered in the Bible completely apart from the information regarding the 7000 years from the flood.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Therefore, we see that the full 23-year tribulation period concludes on May 21st, 2011. This date is the exact day that the great tribulation comes to its end, and this is also the most likely landing spot for the 7000 years from the flood of Noah's day.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">Keep in mind that God shut the door on the ark on the 17th day of the 2nd month of Noah's calendar. We also find that May 21 st, 2011 is the end of the great tribulation period. There is a strong relationship between the 2nd month and 17th day of Noah's calendar and May 21st, 2011 of our Gregorian calendar. This relationship cannot be readily seen until we discover that there is another calendar to consider, which is the Hebrew (or Biblical) calendar. May 21 st, 2011 happens to be the 17th day of the 2nd month of the Hebrew calendar. By this, God is confirming to us that we have a very correct understanding regarding the 7000-year timeline from the flood. May 21 st, 2011 is the equivalent date to the date when God shut the door on Noah's ark. Through this and much other Biblical information, we find that May 21 st, 2011 will be the day when God takes up into heaven His elect people. </span><span style="color: red; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">May 21st, 2011 will be the day God shuts the door of salvation on the world</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">In other words, in having the great tribulation period conclude on a day that identifies with the 17th day of the 2nd month of Noah's calendar, God is without question confirming to us that this is the day He intends to shut forever the door of entry into heaven: The Bible teaches that on May 21st, 2011, only true believers elected by God to receive salvation will be raptured (taken up) out of this world to meet the Lord in the air and forever be with the Lord:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">THE END OF THE WORLD: OCTOBER 21st, 2011</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"> By God's grace and tremendous mercy, He is giving us advanced warning as to what He is about to do. May 21st, 2011 will begin this 5-month period of horrible torment for all the inhabitants of the earth. It will be on May 21st that God will raise up all the dead that have ever died from their graves. Earthquakes will ravage the whole world as the earth will no longer conceal its dead (Isaiah 26:21). People who died as saved individuals will experience the resurrection of their bodies and immediately leave this world to forever be with the Lord. Those who died unsaved will be raised up as well, but only to have their lifeless bodies scattered about the face of all the earth. Death will be everywhere.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">The Feast of Tabernacles / Ingathering was said to be in the end of the year even though it was observed in the Hebrew 7th month, which is not the end of the year. The reason for this is that the spiritual fulfillment of this particular feast is the end of the world. The date October 21st, 2011 will be the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles and the last day of earth's existence.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">On October 21st, 2011, God will completely destroy this creation and all of the people who never experienced the salvation of Jesus Christ along with it. The awful payment for their sinful rebellion against God will be completed by the loss of everlasting life. On October 21st, 2011, all of these poor people will cease to exist from that point forward. How sad that noble man, made in God's image, will die like a beast and perish forever.</span></div>

Their calendar started on 3114-AUG-13 BCE with the birth of Venus. They expected the world to last for exactly 13 baktun cycles.

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">An article in <i>Weekly World News</i> describes a find by a Professor Lloyd Cunningdale of Salt Lake City who was excavating with his students at the site of the famous Donner party disaster of 1847. The latter were a group of settlers bound for California who became trapped by snow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Cunningdale and students have found a time capsule left by the settlers which contains many predictions for the future. They predict that nations will abandon traditional methods of conflict and resort to the use of biological warfare. In 2016, one such disease will spread and kill all of the humans on the planet.

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">According to The Church of !BLAIR!, the human race will probably be terminated at 3:28 AM (Soho, England time) 2047, SEP. 14!. The church teaches, with tongue firmly in cheek, that if the human race does not discard their plastic conformity, then the Gods will withdraw their protection. The Gods don't want us to worship them; they don't want sacrifices or even offerings. They just want us to rid itself of our excessive "Normalcy". At that point, Astro-Lemurs (extra-terrestrials similar in shape to lemurs, but with rainbow colored bodies) will attack the entire human race and beat them to death with gigantic burritos. You have been warned. ;-)</span></div>

Whether the group is a cold-blooded hoax that milks its victims of their money and then disposes of them or a more "genuine" suicide cult remains unclear. The Order was founded in 1977 by Luc Jouret, then 30, a Belgian born in Zaire who believed he was a third reincarnation of Jesus Christ and that his daughter Emmanuelle, whom he said was immaculately conceived, was the cosmic child. Although he killed himself, the Order still exists. The cult teaches that life is an illusion and after death followers will be reborn on a planet revolving around the dog star Sirius.

Torop, who took the name Vissarion, rejects prohibitions on suicide. He tells his followers he is Jesus Christ, and looks the part with flowing dark hair and wispy beard. Currently building a "City of the Sun" on Siberia's Mount Sukhaya, the Vissarionites are estimated to be the largest cult-like group in Russia with thousands of followers. Russian politicians have recently warned that the Church members may commit mass suicide as the millennium approaches. (Apocalypse Really Soon: ABC news, Jan 5, 1999)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">When? How? Where did “Easter”
begin? Did first century Christians observe <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Easter?” Is it of Biblical origin? Should
Christians observe it today? Did Christ or His <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>chosen apostles authorize the “Easter”
observance and its pageantry? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The above
questions are of great importance! I shall attempt to answer each of them <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>as clearly and definitively as possible in
this study. This day “Easter Sunday” is one of <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the “holiest” days on the calendars of both
the Roman Catholics and many Protestants <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>as well. This being true, one would naturally
expect to be able to read something about “Easter” in the New Testament
wouldn’t you think? The New Testament claims to <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>have within its pages “all things that pertain
to life and godliness..” (2 Peter 1:3). Also the apostle Paul by inspiration
wrote, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“All Scripture is given by the
inspiration of God, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and is profitable
for doctrine, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of
God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works”</i> (2 Timothy 3:16-17,
KJV). Damnation is threatened to any and all who twist, add to, or take away from
that which is divinely revealed in the Bible, specifically the New Testament
(John 12:48; 2 Peter 3:16; Acts 3:22-23; 2 John 9-11; Revelation 22:18-19;
Galatians 1:6-11). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">With this fixed in your minds,
think of this, Easter isn’t so much as mentioned in your Bible, let alone its
pageantry, time of observance etc. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
was not observed by the apostles and early Christians. If one is to learn
anything about the answer to the questions we have posed above, one must go
outside the Bible to secular history and the practices begun by the apostate
Roman Catholic church, which came into being years after the Lord’s church was
established, and after the close of the completed and confirmed New Testament. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">It is imperative that you do not
allow prejudice and tradition to close your mind to what we are writing here.
Don’t lay this tract aside until you have considered what we have to say. Your
soul’s salvation may well depend on how you react to this information. If I am

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">correct, you need to learn the
facts about “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Easter</b>.” Someone will
say, “wait just a minute! I found Easter in my Bible. It is in (Acts 12:4).” I
knew someone would make this statement and so I have copied a portion of a page
from my copy of Berry’s Interlinear Greek-English New Testament so you can read
for yourself that the translators of the King James version of the N.T. of 1611
AD, were not true to the manuscripts. This was probably due to the fact that
both the Roman Catholic and the Church of England had by this time in history
begun to practice the observance of “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Easter</b>”
with all of its attendant trappings. A faithful translation would have found
the word that has been translated “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Easter</b>,”
“Passover” instead. In addition to this quote from Berry, I shall show you what
the noted Greek scholar said about this matter. The Bible will be our final
source of authority of course, not the writings of uninspired men. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Still, most of us common folks
must rely on the work of these scholarly men who know <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="2"></a>the
original languages for our English renderings. The New Testament was written in
the common Greek language. Consider the following, please. This simply cannot
be disregarded. It has a bearing on our subject. In fact this is a death knell
to this observance to an honest heart. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">One could be so blinded by
tradition and “grasp at the straw” above and see “Easter” in (1 Corinthians
5:7), but nothing remotely resembling it may be found there or anywhere else in
the New Testament. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the tomb on the third day is actually the “corner stone” of the religion
of Christ! My brethren and I believe in the resurrection with all of our
hearts! The resurrection of Jesus proved His identity as the divine Son of the
living God (Romans 1:4) so states. If Jesus wasn’t raised He isn’t on David’s
throne for He was “raised to sit on David’s throne” (Acts 2:22-36; Daniel
7:13-14; Luke 1:32-33). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">If Christ wasn’t raised and
exalted, we have no high priest, no forgiveness of sins, and are of all men
most miserable! (1 Corinthians 15:17; 2 Timothy 1:10; 1 Corinthians 15:18- 19;
John 20:14-18; Mark 16:9; Luke 24:13; Mark 16:12; John 20:19-23). We do not minimize
the importance of the resurrection. Belief in the resurrection has nothing </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">whatsoever to do with the pageant
and observance known as “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Easter</b>.” </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Jesus instituted the one memorial
that is authorized in His word. It is known as the “Lord’s Supper” (1
Corinthians 11:20). “Communion” (1 Corinthians 10:16). The “breaking of bread”
(Acts 20:6-7). Jesus placed this observance “in His kingdom” (Luke 22:16-20;
Matthew 26:26-28). History as well as Scripture show that this was a weekly observance
in the local churches of Christ until uninspired men changed it years later (Acts
2:42; Acts 20:6-7; 1 Corinthians 11:19-34). Those changes were and are sinful
(2 John 9). To add memorials unauthorized by Christ’s word is likewise sinful
(Acts 3:22-23; John 12:48; Luke 6:46). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Although not specifically stated,
several things may be deducted from the observance of this memorial. (1) That
Jesus did come into the world in fulfillment of the prophecies of our Messiah
(Matthew 1:18-21; John 1:1-4,14). (2) That He died for our sins (1 Corinthians
11:24) “Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance
of Me.” <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“This cup is the New Testament in
My blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me.”</i> And, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“For as often as you eat this bread, and
drink this cup, you do show the Lord’s death till He come.”</i> The phrase <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“till He come” </i>suggests the resurrection
as well as the final advent of Jesus (1 Corinthians 11:23-34). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="3"></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Isn’t it strange that the “one
memorial” authorized by Jesus for His followers to honor Him, has been so
corrupted by uninspired men that their corruption of the Lord’s Supper has
become known to the Catholics as a Sacrament, and is called the Mass where
Jesus is sacrificed over and over daily. It is carried to the sick beds and
given significance which the Lord did not intend it to have. Conversely,
Protestants minimize the importance of this memorial and some “observe” it
monthly, quarterly, yearly, or some not at all. Too, the elements are not
regarded as important by some. They substitute other elements for the
“unleavened bread” and the “fruit of the vine.” Why will men bring into being
things the Lord did not authorize, and fail to observe as commanded and as
shown by approved apostolic example, what Christ desires of those who follow
Him? </span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">What Does “Easter” Mean? </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">I shall answer the above question
by going to the source of those who created it as a yearly observance, the
Roman Catholics. From my own copy of a Catholic Bible with the imprimatur by
Albert Cardinal Meyer Archbishop of Chicago, 1965 edition. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">“EASTER: This feast,
commemorative of the Resurrection of Christ, is named for the Teutonic goddess
of light (Anglo Saxon title Eastre or Ostera); her festival was held in April.
The Jewish feast of the Passover is linked with Easter as Our Lord is regarded
as the true Paschal Lamb; and in the 8th century the name Easter was adopted as
the title for this festive celebration. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">As early as the 2nd century,
there were keen disputes respecting the day on which this feast should be kept.
In 325 A.D., however, the Council of Nicaea ordained that Easter should be
observed always and everywhere on one and the same day; and that the day should
be on the Sunday next after the full moon that came on or after the vernal
equinox, which falls on March 21, provided that when that moon was full on
Sunday, Easter should be the Sunday following. Referred to as the Passover,
Acts 12:4 1083. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">EASTER DUTY</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">. The
obligation to receive Holy Communion during Easter time, which is generally
from Palm Sunday to the first Sunday after Easter. The time, however, varies in
different parts of the world according to custom.” If the above quote is
correct, it shows clearly that this corruption and departure from New Testament
teaching was begun within a couple of hundred years after the apostolic period.
The fact is, if it began one day or one year after the final revelation was
completed and confirmed, it was too late to be of apostolic origin (Jude 3;
John 16:12-13; 2 John 9; Galatians 1:6-11). The information above suggests
however that the name “Easter” wasn’t given until the 8th century A.D. It also
reveals the origin to be <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="4"></a>the heathen goddess of light Eastre or
Ostera. Now my friends, what do you think of “Easter?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">In the first century when someone
tried to bind as part of the religion of Christ, practices not authorized by
the men whom Christ inspired with the Holy Spirit to reveal “all truth,” (John
16:13), they were condemned in no uncertain language. When some wanted to bind
parts of the law of Moses on followers of Christ, the apostles said they were <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“subverting your souls”</i> and “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">to whom we</i> (the apostles, KET) <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">gave no such commandment</i>” (Acts
15:23-24). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Today when religious leaders bind
practices unknown to the New Testament on those in their particular fellowship,
such as “Christmas” and “Easter,” they are subverting the souls of those who
accept and engage in such unauthorized activities (Colossians 3:17; 2 John9;

the other days and seasons associated with “Easter?” What about “Lent” “Ash
Wednesday” “Fat Tuesday” “Mardi Gras;” “Passion Sunday” “Palm Sunday” “Good
Friday” etc. etc. etc.? Simply stated, they fall under the light of New
Testament teaching, as practices and inventions of uninspired men. They are
sinful practices, things which cannot be done to the glory of our Lord Jesus
Christ. He asked the Jews of his day, “And why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do
not the things which I say” (Luke 6:46)? Jesus Christ has “all authority in
heaven and in earth” (Matthew 28:18; Ephesians 1:22-23; Colossians 1:18;
Philippians 2:5-11; Ephesians 5:22). </span></div>

is alright! Not so! The Bible, not the church, the (Roman church nor any
Protestant church) is the authority (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Acts 17:11; 1 Thessalonians

<span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Should
Christians Observe Easter?</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Easter
is a widely-observed annual celebration commemorating the resurrection
of Christ. You probably have noticed that Easter comes at a different
time each year. "Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon
that falls on or next after the vernal equinox (Mar. 21 in the Gregorian
calendar); if the full moon happens on Sunday Easter is celebrated
one week later. Easter Sunday cannot be earlier than March 22 or later
than April 25; dates of all other movable church feasts depend on
that of Easter" (Webster).</span>
<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>The
Origin of Easter</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Some
church historians assert that Easter observance began in the first
century, but they must admit that their first evidence for the observance
comes from the second century (Schaff, <i>History of the Christian
Church</i> II:207; Latourette, <i>A History of Christianity</i>, I:137).
There soon arose a bitter controversy over which day Easter was to
be celebrated. Some were observing it on any day of the week, and
others were celebrating it only on the nearest Sunday. This indicates
that they had no instruction from the Lord on this matter. By A. D.
325 the council of Nicaea decreed that it should be on Sunday, but
did not fix the particular Sunday. The exact time of observance was
determined by later councils.</span>
<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Is
Easter in the Bible?</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The word
<i>Easter</i> is only found one time in the English translation of
the Bible and there it is a mistranslation. The King James rendering
of Acts 12:4 used the phrase "intending after Easter." Albert Barnes,
a noted Presbyterian commentator who wrote in the nineteenth century
when the King James version was widely used, said,</span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> "There
never was a more absurd or unhappy translation than this. The original
is simply after the Passover. The word Easter now denotes the festival
observed by many Christian churches in honor of the resurrection
of the Saviour. But the original has no reference to that, nor is
there the slightest evidence that any such festival was observed
at the time when this book was written. The translation is not only
unhappy, as it does not convey at all the meaning of the original,
but because it may contribute to foster an opinion that such a festival
was observed in the time of the apostles" (<i>Barnes Notes on the
New Testament</i>, XI, 190).</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The word
translated <i>Passover</i>, and the one used in Acts 12:4, is <i>pascha</i>.
It means "a passing over" and is used with reference to the Jewish
festival of Passover which was celebrated on the 14th of the month
Nisan. This same word is used in Matthew 26:2; Mark 14:1, Luke 2:41;
22:1; John 2:13, 23 and other places, and in every instance is translated
<i>Passover</i> in the King James Version except Acts 12:4. More recent
versions correctly use the term <i>Passover</i> in Acts 12:4. It is
absurd to think that Herod Agrippa I wanted to celebrate the resurrection
of Christ. The Scripture says that he "laid hands on some who belonged
to the church, in order to mistreat them. And he had James the brother
of John put to death with a sword...he proceeded to arrest Peter also"
(Acts 12:1-3).</span>
<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>New
Testament Christians Did Not Observe Easter</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The famous
fourteenth edition of <i>Encyclopedia Britannica</i> says,</span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">"There
is no indication of the observance of the Easter festival in the
New Testament, or in the writings of the apostolic Fathers. The
sanctity of special times was an idea absent from the minds of the
first Christians" (VII:859).</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The apostle
Paul warned against the observance of feast days, new moons, etc.
(Gal. 4:10-11; Col. 2:16-17). Another reliable source says,</span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">"In
apostolic times the Christians commemorated their Lord's resurrection
every Sunday, by meeting on that day for worship. When Paul refers
to Christ as our passover (1 Cor. 5:7) his language is metaphorical
and cannot be regarded as containing any allusion to a church function"
(<i>A Dictionary of Religion and Ethics</i>, p. 140).</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">For many
people, Easter has become the one time of the year they attend church
services. Concerning urging of Catholics to receive Holy Communion
the question was asked, "They must go at least once a year if they
would be regarded as Catholics?" "Father" Smith answers, "Yes, during
Easter time" (<i>Father Smith Instructs Jackson</i>, p. 159). Many
forget the admonition of Hebrews 10:25: "not forsaking our own assembling
together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and
all the more, as you see the day drawing near."</span>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Importance
of the Resurrection of Christ</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Let no
one imagine that we oppose the resurrection of Christ. It is the bedrock
of Christianity and the deity of Jesus rests upon it (Rom. 1:4). Christians
today meet every first day of the week, as did the early Christians,
to observe the Lord's Supper (Acts 20:7). The first day of the week
is a memorial to the resurrection of Christ. The death, burial and
resurrection of Christ, serves as the form of an individual's death
to sin, burial in baptism, and resurrection to walk a new life as
a new creature in Christ (1 Cor. 15:1-4; Rom 6:3-11; Col. 2:12).</span>
<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Conclusion</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">"Whoever
speaks, let him speak, as it were, the utterances of God (1 Pet. 4:11).
The celebration of Easter began too late, and without the expressed
authority of God!</span>

<div class="content" style="background-color: #e1ebf5; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 0px; min-height: 3em; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px 0px 1px;">
<span style="font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Introduction</span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Virtually in the world today, there is nothing important and valuable that had not been forged by modern man. However, it is incredible to note that modern man with all his knowledge, scientific breakthrough, super technology and his quintessential abilities still embraces that which is inferior, fake and of little or no value. It is sad to observe further that this is not limited to physical/material things but also to spiritual things; even matters of salvation of soul.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The Gospel as understood by the Modern Man</span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />To the modern man, several gospel of Christ are in existence and acceptable to him. It leans towards several directions which can be broadly grouped into orthodox, Pentecostal, protestant, and the new millennium gospel. This classification is easy to identify if one is acquainted with the prevailing doctrines of a particular group/sect/division/denomination. What is confusing in the whole matter is that all of these groups do lay claim to the Bible as their source of authority. Despite the fact that the Bible did not contain any contradictory teaching, yet the modern man held on tightly to different and contradictory and sometimes conflicting doctrines; this is equally amazing and disturbing to a sincere seeker of the truth.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Today, the modern man accepts, embraces and teaches that Jesus Christ is not the end of the Law and wants to see it taught in Matthew 5:17-18. Meanwhile, the Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is the end of the Law.<span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth." </span>(Romans 10:4; cf. Galatians 5:4; Ephesians 2:12-17). To the mind of the modern man, there are many mediators (prophets); yet the Holy Bible declared that there is just only one mediator, Jesus Christ (1 Timothy 2:5). In the opinions and views of the modern man, Jesus reconciles God to man which is contrary to the teachings of the Bible which says <span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">"Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation."</span> (2 Corinthians 5: 18, 19; NASV).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Modern man teaches that Jesus Christ would save anyone who profess faith (Luke 6:46) forgetting that this group will include devils because<span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> "… the devils also believe, and tremble."</span> (James 2:19). Contrary to this teaching of the modern man, the only book that contained the mind of God – the Bible says <span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">"…gospel … is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek."</span> (Romans 1:16). The modern man believes that God saves some from all churches (the denominations/sects), while the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is the saviour of the body, the only true church (1 Corinthians 12:12; Ephesians 5:23) which is just one and has its authority in the Bible only (Matthew 16:16-18, Ephesians 4:4; Colossians 1:13, 18, 24).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The modern man understood the gospel of Christ as containing the doctrines of men as he teaches for doctrine the commandments of men (Matthew 15:8,9) which includes direct calling (against the only gospel call available today – 2 Thessalonians 2:14), vision telling (contrary to how God speaks to man today, through Lord Jesus Christ – Hebrews 1:1-2), celebration of feasts, festival which had no scriptural precedence (no Bible passage to support the practice – practices that were never engaged in by the first century Christians) such as Easter, Christmas, Bazaar, etc.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />In the understanding of the modern man, one can be freed through praying (1 Peter 3:12), which is contrary to the teaching of Holy Spirit who said one is freed by his obedience to the gospel of Christ (form of doctrine) "<span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">But thanks be to our God that you were the slaves of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. Then being made free from sin, you became the slaves of righteousness."</span> (Romans 6:17, 18). Men today still agree that <span style="font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">'faith only'</span> saves contrary to what Bible teaches. The bible teaches that the gospel of Christ saves (Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Ephesians 1:13) when obeyed (2 Thessalonians 1:7-9). But the modern man says man has nothing to obey! Hence, the conclusion of the Holy writ: <span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">"But also if our gospel is hidden, it is hidden to those being lost, in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving ones, so that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ (who is the image of God) should not dawn on them."</span> (2 Corinthians 4:3,4).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The Gospel as Revealed in the Scriptures</span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The gospel of Christ as revealed in the scriptures is very simple, straightforward, it is neither burdensome nor wearisome, not confusing but convincing to those who are not lost (2 Corinthians 4:3); because the gospel is hidden only to them that are perishing; for the gospel<span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> "...is hidden to those being lost, in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving ones, so that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ (who is the image of God) should not dawn on them."</span> (2 Corinthians 4:3,4).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Sin made God drove man out of the Garden of Eden. God has purpose and plan for mankind. He desires the very best for mankind and designed the Garden of Eden and put man there with this command:<span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> "…tend and keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, 'of every tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.'"</span> (Genesis 2:15-16).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />But Satan came and deceived the first man (Adam) through his wife (Eve) (1 Timothy 2:13, 14) and both of them fell into transgression – sin. The sin brought pronouncement of God, full of curse upon them. God being just, reward all of them. To the serpent; God said <span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">"Because you have done this, you are cursed …" </span>(Genesis 3:14-15), to the woman (Eve), He said:<span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> "I will greatly multiply your sorrow and conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; your desire shall be for husband, and he shall rule over you"</span> (Genesis 3:16). To the man (Adam) God said:<span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> "cursed is the ground for your sake: in toil you shall eat of it … in sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for dust you are, and to dust you shall return."</span> (Genesis 3:17-19).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />After these pronouncement, God drove the man out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken and<span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> "God placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life"</span> (Genesis 3: 23, 24).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Love of God brought the Saviour. In love for mankind, God promised the Saviour: "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He will bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel" (Genesis 3:15). God chose a man by the name of Abraham through whose seed He would bring into the world the One who would be the Saviour of the world. God promised Abraham, "And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed" (Genesis 12:3). From the time this promise was made around 2000 B.C. God had continually reminded His people that there was a "blessing" coming; who would bear the iniquities of the people (Isaiah 53). The promise was not only to the descendants of Abraham, the Jews, but to all families of the earth. It was God's promise to all mankind (every tribe and tongue and people and nation). Peter explained this more clearly on the day of Pentecost that<span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> "You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant that God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And in your seed will all the families of the earth be blessed.' For you first, God raised up His Servant Jesus and sent Him to bless you by turning every one of you away from your iniquities"</span> (Acts 3:25,26).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The Seed of Abraham that would bless all mankind was JESUS! The blessing was that Jesus would turn us away from our sins. Paul wrote, "Now to Abraham and Blessing Of The Seed his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, 'And to seeds,' as to many, but as of one, 'And to your Seed,' who is Christ" (Galatians 3:16). So the Seed was Jesus Christ. He was the same Seed of woman that God promised would crush the head of Satan after Adam had sinned (Genesis 3:15). He would crush Satan by offering Himself as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. This was the great news of the gospel. "But God commends His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us … we shall be saved from wrath through Him … we shall be saved by His life" (Romans 5:8-11).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Jesus Died to bring man back to God from Satan</span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Jesus, the Son of God, was crucified on the cross of Calvary for the sins of all people (Hebrews 9:28; 1 John 3:5; cf. 1 Corinthians 5:21, 15:3; 1Peter 2:22). He <span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">"bore our sins in His own body on the tree, so that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness – by whose stripes you were healed" </span>(1 Peter 2:24). Jesus died for all of us! Through His sacrificial death, all men who are obedient to His will can have forgiveness of sins. By the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, he crushed the power of Satan so that people might have an escape route from sin and come back to God through Him. He shed His blood (Hebrews 9:22; 1 Peter 1:18,19. Cf. John 10:18). He was <span style="color: red; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">buried </span>in a tomb in order to overcome mankind's problem of physical death, only to be <span style="color: red; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">raised by God on the third day </span>after <span style="color: red; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">His burial</span> (1 Corinthians 15:4; Acts 2:32), He was raised on Sunday morning from the dead and came forth from the tomb (Mark 16:9).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />If modern man would <span style="color: red; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">believe </span>that<span style="color: red; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Jesus was raised from the dead</span>, then this belief becomes the foundation upon which the modern man's faith stands that he (the modern man) will be raised in the end (1 Thessalonians 4:14). The fact is, at the return of Jesus, <span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">"all who are in graves will hear His voice and come forth ..."</span> (John 5:28, 29). However, only those who have believed on Jesus will be resurrected to life, for only "in Christ" is there hope of resurrection to an immortal state of being (1 Corinthians 15:22). Jesus' resurrection, therefore, is God's answer to the physical death problem of modern man.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="color: #bf0000; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Jesus thereafter ascended to heaven</span> (Acts 1:9; Ephesians 1:20-22) to sit at the right hand of God: <span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">"who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens"</span> (Hebrews 8:1). Because Jesus is in heaven, Christians <span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">"have a Counsellor with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world" </span>(1 John 2:1,2). Jesus is at the right hand of God making intercession for His own – Christians (Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25). He is now King of kings and Lord of lords and has all authority over all things for the benefit of His believers – Christians (Matthew 28:18; 1 Timothy 6:15; Hebrews 1:3).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Jesus is coming again to finalize His victory over death by the resurrection of the righteous from the dead. This is great news for those who have given themselves to Jesus, the Christ. It is bad news, however, for those who have not submitted themselves to Jesus. The disobedient will be raised for destruction when Jesus comes again. Are you looking for the final coming of Jesus? Because of their faith, Christians (those who have obeyed the gospel of Christ without being a member of any denomination) are eagerly "looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God" (2 Peter 3:12). Are you among?<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />When God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to the world, He "did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved (John 3:17). By this,<span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> "the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men" </span>(Titus 2:11; Ephesians 2:1-10). This being the truth, when Jesus first came, some people who considered themselves to be religious, did not receive Jesus Christ because they had already rejected the will of God (Mark 7:9). Many people today are best described likewise. Will you also be one of those religious people today to whom Jesus comes, but because of your religious traditions and bigotry reject Him? The grace of God is offered to those who do not know God as well as those who have known Him but had been trapped in the world of man-made (modern) religions. God is calling the modern man out of such vain religions in order to enjoy the freedom of His grace.<span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> "'Come out from among them and be ye separate,' says the Lord. 'And do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you'" </span>(2 Corinthians 6:17). That is a command with promise!<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What the Modern man should obey to enjoy the Grace of God?</span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />In order for the modern man not to be punished by God on the judgment day, the Holy Spirit sounded the following to warn the modern man and counselled the modern man to<span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> "... rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power."</span> (2 Thessalonians 1:7-9). Two things are glaring in this passage: one, Jesus Christ is coming to take vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ (the unbelievers). Two, one must obey the gospel of Jesus Christ in order to escape the coming judgment of Jesus (1Peter 4:17).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The modern man is to believe and obey the gospel event (the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus the Christ) as recorded in the Bible and that the death of Jesus Christ is also for the sins of modern man (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Mark 1:15) and not for the sins of Himself because He was without sin, He is sinless (1 Corinthians 5:21, 15:3; 1 Peter 2:22; Hebrews 4:15; cf. Hebrews 9:28).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />When Peter and other eleven apostles were asked on the day of Pentecost, "men and brethren what shall we do?" Peter answered and said Repent and be baptised, every one of you and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts. 2:36-41; cf. Mark 16:15-16). It is important for the modern man to repent in order to be saved (Luke 13:3, 5). Jesus demanded that those that would be His followers must confess their faith with their mouth (Matthew 10:32, 33; Romans 10:8-10).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />In the epistle to the Romans, Paul under the influence of the Holy Spirit wrote to Christians in Rome, and thus reviewed their past obedience to the gospel in chapter 6 beginning with verse 3. <span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">"Do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father; even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been joined together in the likeness of His death, we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection; knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be destroyed, that from now on we should not serve sin."</span> In baptism (immersion) we are coming into a spiritual union with Jesus. A covenant is being established. A personal relationship with God is beginning. Because of the seriousness of this teaching, Paul repeats the answer to the question of verse 3 again in verse 5. For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, we will also be in the likeness of His resurrection. By Baptism (immersion) into Jesus one is united together in the likeness of Jesus' death. As Jesus went to the tomb almost two thousand years ago, so we can also go to a tomb (grave) of water together with Him today. Subsequently, we are raised with Him in order to walk in newness of life. This is great (good)news!<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />In baptism (immersion), therefore, you are buried with Jesus. You are also raised with Jesus. In baptism (immersion) one obeys the gospel, which is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. It's that simple. However, before one goes to the grave with Jesus, he or she must also go to the cross with Jesus. Paul explains this in verse 6.<span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> "knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be destroyed, that from now on we should not serve sin."</span> Your old man of greed, selfishness, drunkenness, cheating, lying, spiritual fraud, religious sin, unscriptural worship and practices, innovations and modernisations foreign (strange) to the Bible etc. must die on a cross of self denial with Jesus. Paul wrote concerning his personal crucifixion, "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me ..." (Galatians 2:20). You also must be crucified with Jesus before you can be buried with Him in the waters of baptism. The Bible says, "Repent, and be immersed every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:38).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What would the Modern man obtain if he should obey the Gospel?</span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />It is mandatory for all to hear the gospel (Romans 10:17), believe the gospel, obey it by repentance, confession of faith, and being baptised in water. Having done all these, God would now fulfil His promises which He had promised those who believe. The promises to enjoy includes remission of sins (Acts 2:38); the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38); eternal life (1 John 2:25; 2 Timothy 1:10; Revelation 2:10).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Where Does This Leads To?</span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Baptism (immersion) is the door that leads one to benefit from the promises of God. By it, one is put into one body – the church: "For also by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free, even all were made to drink into one Spirit." (1 Corinthians 12:13). The body is the church:<span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> "And He is the Head of the body, the church, who is the Beginning, the First-born from the dead, that He may be pre-eminent in all things."</span> (Colossians 1:18, 24). This church is not another denomination or inter-denomination, but the true church, the New Testament church whose head is Jesus (Colossians 1:18, 24). It bears no proper name or human-given names but scriptural names which are descriptive such as: the church of God (1 Corinthians 1:2), the body of Christ (Ephesians 1:22,23), the church of Christ (Romans 16:16), the house of God (1 Timothy 3:15), the flock of God (1 Peter 5:2,3), the bride of Christ (Romans 7:4; Revelation 21:9), the church of the Lord (God) (Acts 20:28), the household of God (Ephesians 2:19), the temple of God (1 Corinthians 3:16).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Individual members do not bear sectarian names such as "ABC Family", "XYZ Communion" but few of the terms that are used in the New Testament to describe members of the body are: Disciples (Acts 11:26), Christians (Acts 11:26; 1 Peter 4:16, cf. Acts 26:28), Saints (Romans 1:7; Ephesians 1:1; Philippians 1:1), Children of God (Romans 8:16; Ephesians 5:8), Sons of God (Galatians 3:26; 1 John 3:1,2), Brethren (Philippians 4:21; 1 Peter 2:17), Servants (Romans 16:1,2), Priests (1 Peter 2:5,9; Revelations 1:6).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Those names that are used in the religious world by modern man that divide brethren (believers) should be discarded and disowned. Those who seek to establish unity among brethren will always give up traditional names in order to base unity among Christians on the principles of the Bible (Ephesians 4:4-6). We must always keep in mind that God did not intend to give a specific name to the church. We want to state humbly that it is wrong to wear names that denominate, as well as belonging to denomination. <span style="font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Denominationalism is sinful</span> (1 Corinthians 1:10-13) and was never in the plan of God. Jesus prayed for the unity of believers (John 26:1-26); Paul scolded Corinthians for allowing the spirit of sectarianism (division, denominationalism); the Holy Spirit foretold division among Christians (Acts 20:28-30) of which we are witnesses. Christians must be united, all who are in division are should repent.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The New Testament church worships in truth and spirit (John 4:23-24) with the following items of worship:<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />1. <span style="font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Bible study, teaching and proclamation:</span> "And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ" (Acts 5:42; 2:42; cf. Hebrews 1:1-2). They "went everywhere preaching the word" (Acts 8:4).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />2. <span style="font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Sing Praises To God And Admonish One Another:</span><span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> "speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord"</span> (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16, cf. Acts 2:47). Note the use of the word 'sing'. This is non-instrumental music, it is vocal music (Hebrews 13:15).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />3.<span style="font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Prayer:</span> "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17; Acts 2:42). Christians should not be<span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> "anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving"</span> let their requests be made known to God (Philippians 4:6; John 14:13).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />4.<span style="font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Giving/Collection for the saints and not tithe:</span> I Corinthians 16:1-2; 8:12. This is done on every Lord's Day – Sunday. Christians individually are expected to do good unto all men all days and should even be looking for the opportunity to do so (Galatians 6:9-10). Tithes paying and receiving was for Israelites (Deuteronomy 5:1-5, 14:22) and the law had been nailed to the cross of Christ, done away, and taken out of the way (Colossians 2:14-17; Hebrews 8:7-13; Galatians 3:10, 19, 23-25; 2 Corinthians 3:14-17). Christians are to follow the law of liberty, law of Christ in the New Testament (James 1:25, 2:12). Anyone that pay or receive tithes today is under a curse (Galatians 3:10; 5:4).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />5. <span style="font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Communion</span>: This is also another item of worship that must be done on every Lord's Day – Sunday (Acts 20:7; I Corinthians 11:23-26, Luke 22:16-20).<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />So, the modern man must believe the gospel of Christ and obey it in order to be saved and be counted <a href="http://www.cocogooluwa.org/">among God's own people whom </a>Jesus is coming to take home at the end, worshipping God in truth and in spirit.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Conclusion</span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The modern man has wondered far away from the Lord despite his technology and science. You are the modern man. Would you risk another day? Please, do not turn your face away from God. He has sent this to you. He wants you to take a bold step of obeying the true gospel today. Kindly accept His grace, come to Jesus Christ in faith, confess your faith in Him, repent and be baptised for the remission of your sins into the body of Christ (church of Christ, Colossians 1:18, 24) and for receiving grace, peace and joy with eternal life as promised by Him. Why not obey Christ now!<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">P. O.
