Re: Truth



On 29/10/2007, Innocent & Linda Forteh <forteh@gmail.com> wrote:

To the best of my memory, before I came to the saving
grace of Jesus Christ, I did not believe the Bible was
true. I doubted whether God, Satan, heaven, or hell
even existed. I believed that we were born, lived so
many years, and then died. I had my own business and
thought that I had succeeded by my own wits.
    One evening, my wife and I heard some
documentation that these were the last days before
Jesus Christ would actually return. Not wanting to
hear it, I almost walked out. Something kept me there,
and I listened but was not convinced; however, I
decided to do some research to find out if the Bible
was really true. Indeed, if I could find one
contradiction or anything that was not true, then I
could disregard it. I believed this would not take
long. This led me into much research. I learned nearly
one-third of the Bible is directly or indirectly
related to prophecy which includes about 10,000
prophecies. One thing needed, was to determine when
the Bible was actually written. Thus, a study of
biblical history, various translations, and
archaeology was necessary. The Dead Sea Scrolls, which
were found in Israel, contained parts of the Old
Testament including prophecies of the coming of Jesus.
It has been proven that these were written before
Christ came. Thousands of clay tablets and
archaeological sites also confirm many accounts in the
Bible.
     I took time off and began studying the
prophecies. My wife would spend much time at the
library. She obtained documentation for me from
reference books which I would check against the
Scriptures to see if the prophecies took place. One
week went by and then a month. Every prophecy that we
were able to get information on proved to be accurate.
I was astonished, but still not convinced. Later,
there were people who would show me what appeared to
be contradictions in the Bible. These were not
contradictions, but only a lack of research on the
part of those that said these things. Stubborn, that's
me. Even after four months of intensive study, proving
prophecy after prophecy was true, I was still
skeptical. Four months turned into six. I became more
determined. It wasn't possible that the sixty-six
books of the Bible written by many people over
hundreds of years would not have some errors, I
thought. Thousands of prophecies, and every one
perfect? No, impossible! If I would admit that, then I
would also have to admit there was a God. I was not
prepared to do that�yet, I wanted to know the truth.
More months passed. Finally, I had to admit after
spending almost countless hours of research�I was
wrong. I may have been the biggest skeptic in the
world, but now I know�the Bible is true and is the
perfect Word of God. Anyone willing to take the time I
did and do the same research could only come to the
same conclusion, if they are honest with themselves. I
became afraid that I would perish. I surrendered my
life to Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God as
a result of His love, compassion, mercy and grace.
    I know that there is none other name under heaven
given among men whereby we MUST be saved (EXCEPT
JESUS)-ref Acts 4:12. I REPENTED of my sins and
received Jesus Christ as my only hope of salvation by
FAITH-ref Eph 2:8-10. It is written, EXCEPT YE BE
CONVERTED, AND BECOME AS LITTLE CHILDREN, YE SHALL NOT
ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN-Mt 18:3. You can also call
on Jesus NOW to be YOUR Lord and Savior.

(BIBLE PROPHECY�PROOF THE BIBLE IS TRUE AND
WE ARE NOW IN THE LATTER DAYS) and HOW TO BE SAVED
(A brief summary)

    This message may be called a road sign of warning.
Some may look at a sign that reads�THE BRIDGE IS OUT,
and say, "Oh, someone is just trying to scare us into
taking another road; let�s go on the same way." They
go on and plunge to their death. The sign was not
meant to scare people, but to warn them of impending
danger. The sign was put there, because someone cared
and didn�t want others to perish.
    God wants you to know, WHEN YOU SEE THESE THINGS
COME TO PASS (the prophecies from the Bible in this
message), KNOW YE THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NIGH AT
HAND-Lk 21:31.

    *

      Will Russia and some Arab nations invade Israel
and the U.S.A. become involved?  Yes.
    *

      Will 1/4th of the world�s population die?  Yes.
    *

      Will there be a one-world system or global
economy?  Yes.
    *

      Will diseases increase such as AIDS?  Yes.
    *

      Did you know the Bible tells us about what is
happening?

WHAT IS GOING ON?

   People have said the end was near many times in the
past�true. But did you know the Bible shows us no
prophecy of the latter days meant anything until
Israel was reborn into a nation? Did you know God�s
Word indicates to us a generation would not pass from
Israel�s rebirth, till all be fulfilled (which
includes the Rapture, the Tribulation, and Jesus
Christ�s return)? A generation could be as little as
40 years or as much as 70 to 80 years (Note Parable of
the Fig Tree in site menu).

   Many people have been preaching about the latter
days of the end times in churches, on radio, TV, and
through books and magazines. Some include Billy
Graham, Hal Lindsey, Ray Brubaker, John Hagee, Zola
Levitt, Jack Van Impe, Peter Lalonde, and Tim LaHaye
just to mention a few. To those that understand the
Bible, no explanation is needed. To those that are
prideful, self-centered, that love this world, that
despise God�s correction, that are contentious or
seeking the praise of men rather than of God, no
explanation is possible-ref Dan 12:4, 10; Mt 24:37,
39.  

   It has been said that it is virtually impossible
for anyone to make 11 straight predictions, 2000 years
into the future. There is only one chance in 8 x 10 to
the 63rd power, or 80 with 63 zeros after it that such
a thing could be done. If such a set of predictions
existed, it would have to be the Word of God.        
        

   Consider, could you write eleven straight
predictions that would take place in the year 4000
A.D.? Include the rebirth of a specific nation and
exactly how it would be reborn. Include specific
nations that would exist and certain nations that
would be allied together, and the exact size of a
nation�s army. Include what the people and church
would be like. Also include the names of actual cities
and name certain crops and fruit trees that would
exist. Do eleven straight prophecies and be exactly
correct on every single one. The Bible not only does
this eleven times, but hundreds of times with
absolute, perfect accuracy. If this is so, even the
most skeptical person (that is truthful) would have to
agree that there is indeed a God and the Bible has to
be His Word. 2 Pet 1:20,21-KNOWING THIS FIRST, THAT NO
PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE
INTERPRETATION. FOR THE PROPHECY CAME NOT IN OLD TIME
BY THE WILL OF MAN: BUT HOLY MEN OF GOD SPAKE AS THEY
WERE MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST. O FOOLS, AND SLOW OF
HEART TO BELIEVE ALL THAT THE PROPHETS HAVE SPOKEN-Lk
24:25. However, believing there is a God and
acknowledging the Bible is the Word of God does not
save a person. A person needs to admit they are a
sinner, repent, and receive Jesus Christ as their only
hope of being saved. This is done by faith (or trust).

  Let's prove the Bible is true and we are nearing the
end of the last generation before Christ returns.

    1. The Jewish people would be scattered worldwide;
yet Israel would become a nation again after a long
time and at a time the Bible calls the "latter
days"-ref Isa 66:8; Mic 5:3; Ezek 38:8. Against what
appeared to be impossible odds, this prophecy has been
fulfilled. It happened as predicted on May 14, 1948
after about 2500 years. That�s 1 out of 1. 
    Note: Israel was destroyed in approximately 721
B.C. and Judah about 135 years later. Since that time,
approximately fourteen different peoples have
possessed the land of Israel. Yet as the Bible said,
the nation of Israel would be reborn.
    The rebirth of Israel was a key sign, indicating
we had entered a time period called the "latter days."
It was the beginning of a countdown leading to the
Tribulation and culminating with the Battle of
Armageddon and the return of Jesus. Along with the
fulfillment of this crucial event are over 360
prophecies that would all come together, so we might
recognize that the Tribulation is very close at hand.
Some of these are listed here.
    Yet the Bible foretells that most people would not
believe these things, despite the overwhelming
evidence of the signs from God�s Word being fulfilled
exactly as predicted. As people refused to believe the
flood was coming in Noah�s time, so people today
willingly choose to disregard the signs of the times.


2. Israel shall be brought forth in one day, at
once-ref Isa 66:8. Prophecy fulfilled-May 14, 1948.
That�s 2 out of 2.
    Note: On Nov. 29, 1947, the General Assembly of
the U.N. approved a resolution calling for the
establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. On the
morning of May 14, 1948 (the last day of the British
mandate), a meeting of the People�s Council took place
in Israel to decide on the name of the state and to
finalize the declaration. At precisely 4 pm, the
proclamation ceremony began at the Tel Aviv museum.
The 979 Hebrew words of the Scroll of Independence
were read. All stood, and the scroll was adopted. The
notorious White Paper, issued by the British in 1930
restricting Jewish immigration, was declared null and
void. Members of the People�s Council signed the
proclamation. David Ben-Gurion rapped his gavel,
declaring, "The State of Israel is established. This
meeting is ended." Israel was brought forth as a
nation in one day, at once, exactly as predicted. At
midnight, the British soldiers and high commissioner
would leave. President Truman was swift in announcing
U.S. recognition of Israel. The following morning, on
May 15, Israel was under attack by the Egyptian,
Syrian, Lebanese, Jordanian, and Iraqi forces.  

3. Israel would be brought forth (or reborn) "out of
the nations"-Ezek 38:8. Prophecy fulfilled-May 14,
1948. That�s 3 out of 3.
    Note: As previously stated, on Nov. 29, 1947, the
General Assembly of the "United Nations" approved a
resolution calling for the establishment of a Jewish
state in Palestine. This prophecy was perfectly
fulfilled. Consider, for centuries the land of Israel
had been occupied by many nations. Israel was "brought
forth out of the nations"�the children of Israel from
many nations have been returning to their ancient
homeland.  

4. Israel must regain the city of Jerusalem-Joel 2:32;
Isa 28:14; Ezek 22:19. This happened just as predicted
in 1967. That�s 4 out of 4.
    Note: The Bible gives us two methods so we would
know the time we are in.  One is by Israel�s rebirth.
The other, by a precise line of events that would all
come together at one time. Israel was reborn on May
14th, 1948. The Bible indicates that from Israel�s
rebirth a generation would not pass till all be
fulfilled. We are not setting any date; however, it
seems clear from Israel�s rebirth and the signs of the
times� that we are living in the generation in which
the Rapture and Tribulation will come and catch most
people by surprise.  Are you ready?  

5. The Christian church at the time of the end would
be lukewarm, neither cold nor hot for Jesus. Prophecy
fulfilled. That�s 5 out of 5.
    Note: God will spew them out. Many ministers and
people that call themselves a Christian will not be
going to heaven. The Bible tells us�you have acquired
wealth, but your true condition is wretched,
miserable, poor, blind, and naked and you don�t know
it-Rev 3:14-22. This is today�s church. Most preachers
use little Scripture, but lots of worldly stories.
Many sing a great deal, but put little emphasis on
repentance, obeying, serving, and fearing God, on the
fruits of the Spirit, Bible prophecy, water baptism by
immersion, and studying your Bible faithfully every
day. Many are only entertainment centers that teach
what their members want to hear. Many (so-called
Christians) are so lukewarm or dead, they don�t even
bring their Bibles with them to the house of God. Some
famous ministers and Bible schools think this is the
best church age ever, yet the Bible clearly shows it
is the worst and most deceived.
6.
     

The Bible gives us over 50 descriptions about the
people at the time of the end. These fit the
people of today perfectly, but did not fit the people
of fifty years ago. Here are some:

  A.   Some would depart from the faith and go into
devil worship-1 Tim 4:1. This is perfect.

  B.    People would mock about the last days and not
believe-2 Pe 3:3; Jude 18.

 

C.   People would become lovers of themselves-2 Tim
3:1,2. Remember the TV commercials�"I
      do it for me"?

  D.   People would be disobeying their parents-2 Tim
3:1,2.

 


E.   People would be grateful for nothing-2 Tim 3:1,2.

 


F.   Homosexuality would increase-Lk 17:28,30; ref Gen
19:5; Ro 1:24,26,27.

 


G.   People would be without self-control in sex-2 Tim
3:1,2,6; Rev 9:21, Lk 17:28,30; Jude 7. Is        this
not the great sex generation?

 

H.   People would love pleasures more than God-2 Tim
3:1,2,4. This is true. Shall we go on a        picnic,
watch football, or sleep. Church?�we can go another
time. Our American motto "In        God we trust" has
become a joke. Remember, these were all predicted
centuries ago as part        of the signs that we are
at the time of the end.

  I.    People would be taking drugs-Rev 9:21. The
Greek word for sorceries, in Rev 9:21, means      
pharmaceuticals or drugs. God�s Word is 100% right on
every one. That�s 6 out of 6. How        could you
have any doubts at this point?
    Note: Fifty years ago, many people seldom locked
their doors at night. There was little or no      
profanity on television, radio, or in the movies. One
of the biggest problems in public        school was
gum chewing. Those days are long gone.

    7. There would be weapons that could destroy the
world-Mk 13:20; Rev 6:8; Rev 9:18; Zech 14:8,12.
Incredibly, this prophecy was written in the days of
spears and arrows, yet today it is true.  That�s 7 out
of 7.
    Note: It is estimated that the combined nuclear
arsenals of the USA and Russia (as of the year 2004)
could kill every living thing on earth 6 times over. 


    8. The Gospel must be published in all the
world-Mk 13:10.  This seemingly impossible prophecy
was written when there was no printing press, but
today it is true. That's 8 out of 8.
    Note: In this last generation, to our knowledge,
the Gospel is being published (or is about to be
published) in the primary language of every nation of
the world or "among all nations." In addition, the
Gospel is available by short-wave radio nearly
everywhere in the world.    

    9. In the "latter days" when Israel was once again
a nation, there would be a great military power to the
extreme north of Israel in the land of Magog (which is
modern-day Russia)-Ezek 38:2-4,8,15,16. Incredible.
That�s 9 out of 9.
    Note: How could the Bible have foretold the
location of this nation, facts about its military, and
even the time period it would come to pass? As was
already said in Lk 24:25-O FOOLS, AND SLOW OF HEART TO
BELIEVE ALL THAT THE PROPHETS HAVE SPOKEN.

    10. There would be a nation to the far east of
Israel, to the end of the earth. This nation would
have an army of 200 million. This is astounding. How
could the Bible have told the location of a nation and
given such a huge figure regarding the size of its
army nearly 2000 years ago? China has boasted that
they could field an army of this exact figure. That�s
10 out of 10.    

    11. There would be an economic alliance of the
nations of the Old Roman Empire. It would have a
military capability. This is an exact description of
the European Economic Community today (the EEC), which
has already adopted the one-currency system for many
of their member nations. It is written, IN THE DAYS OF
THESE KINGS (these nations, which is now) SHALL THE
GOD OF HEAVEN SET UP A KINGDOM-Dan 2:44. That�s 11 out
of 11.  We have just reached the point that seemed
impossible�11 perfect predictions made thousands of
years ago�with God nothing is impossible.  Certainly,
at this point, even the biggest skeptic should see the
Bible is true, there is a God, and we are nearing the
time of the end.

    About 22 prophecies in 11 sets have been given,
all perfect and all written centuries ago. The chance
that any person could do this 2000 years into the
future is not possible. The Bible is the Word of God,
and we have just proved it. Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ. Repent and get baptized by full immersion.
Read and obey the Gospel. God loves you. He is not
willing that any should perish, yet many do.  The
Rapture is close. Most people are not ready and will
not be taken. However, "YOU" cannot say you did not
know. Know and understand, Mt 16:26-WHAT IS A MAN
PROFITED, IF HE SHALL GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD, AND LOSE
HIS OWN SOUL? OR WHAT SHALL A MAN GIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR
HIS SOUL? (Note:  The Encyclopedia of Bible Prophecy
has the complete list of 365 prophecies.)

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?  THE RAPTURE AND TRIBULATION

    RAPTURE (the Biblical term is "caught up" or
"translation") is a term used to describe the removal
from the earth of all living people that have been
born-again as evidenced by their fruits. Just prior to
the Tribulation coming about, the Rapture will take
place. The number that will be raptured will be far
fewer than most people might think. The Bible
unmistakably portrays the raptured saints in heaven
before the throne of God, prior to the Antichrist
coming forth and the Tribulation beginning. The
Scripture tells us, in the twinkling of an eye, we
shall be changed and be with Jesus in the air. 1 Cor
15:51,52-WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP, BUT WE SHALL ALL BE
CHANGED, IN A MOMENT IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, AT
THE LAST TRUMP: FOR THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND; 1 Thes
4:16,17-AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST, THEN
WE WHICH ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN SHALL BE CAUGHT UP
TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS. We may be asleep,
immediately we will be with Jesus. All the
unbelievers, the lukewarm Christians, and those that
did not obey the Gospel will be left to face the
dreadful Tribulation. (For an in-depth study of the
Rapture, click here.)   

    THE TRIBULATION is the worst time in history since
man has been on the earth. Immediately following the
Rapture, the man of sin (called the Antichrist) comes
forth and assumes control of the EEC. He can be
expected to be very charismatic and brilliant. He
confirms a treaty with Israel and others, which begins
the Tribulation.  

    It is a 7 year period, but the Lord may have
shortened the first 3 1/2 years in some way-ref Mk
13:20; Ro 9:28. We are not setting a date; however, we
are now living in that generation in which this will
happen. Hate, murder, thefts, rape, and every
imaginable form of evil will abound. During this
horrible period of God�s wrath, Russia, Iran, and
other nations will come against Israel. The USA
becomes involved. One-fourth of the world�s population
will die. Many of the dead will be from the USA, as
well as Russia. One-third of trees are burned up. All
green grass is burned up. One-third of the sea will
become blood. One-third of the creatures in the sea
will die. One-third of the ships are destroyed.
One-third of the waters become wormwood (or poisoned,
or radioactive). Massive famines, increased
earthquakes, and more diseases will happen as birth
pangs of a woman. Those left alive will have
opportunities to receive Jesus through the preaching
of 144,000 male, virgin Jews; however, death by
decapitation lies ahead for most that put their trust
in Jesus, unless they renounce their faith. There will
also be many false Christs and false prophets. A
one-world, false religion that God calls MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH will increase. This religion
has existed for hundreds of years and exists today.
The nations of the world have become intoxicated with
her false teachings. The temple in Jerusalem will be
rebuilt.  

    About 3� years from the end of the Tribulation,
the Antichrist (also called the beast) is killed with
a wound in the head by a weapon, but his deadly wound
will be healed. He will come back to life. He then
declares himself to be God and moves into the temple
in Jerusalem. A false prophet appears that will do
great wonders. The sacrifices at the temple will be
stopped. The abomination of desolation occurs. An
image of the Antichrist will be set on a wing of the
temple. Those that refuse to worship it will be
beheaded. The elect born-again Jews now flee for their
lives to a place where God will hide them and take
care of them during the last three and a half years.
Power is given to the Antichrist over all kindreds,
and tongues, and nations. All that dwell on the earth
shall worship the Antichrist, whose names are not
written in the Lamb's book of life. During these last
three and a half years (called the Great Tribulation),
world conditions will continue to worsen. A one-world
system will exist. The Antichrist shall make war
against the saints and will overcome them. People will
be required to take the mark of the Antichrist or the
number of his name (666) in or on their forehead or
right hand. If they, refuse they cannot buy or
sell.   

    Two prophets of God will appear. One of them is
Elijah. Their ministry lasts 1260 days. They warn
people not to take the mark or worship the image.
There is no forgiveness from God afterward for those
that do. They will go to the eternal lake of fire.
These two witnesses have the power to shut up heaven
so that it does not rain. They have the power to bring
all kinds of plagues on the earth. Multitudes will be
slain for the Word of God. Some type of locusts will
sting men with a sting like a scorpion. It will be so
bad that men will seek death and shall not find it.
There will be terrible sores upon men. The rivers and
fountains will become blood. Men will be scorched with
great heat. Earthquakes and diseases continue to get
worse and worse. Two hundred million troops will march
to Israel from the east and cross the dried up
Euphrates River. One-third more of the earth�s
population will be killed. After the 1260 days, the
two prophets of God will be killed. People will
rejoice, but then after three and a half days, they
will arise and ascend up to heaven as others watch.
Great fear falls on those that see this. Men will be
so terrified that their hearts will fail, as they
consider what is about to happen. Multitudes will hide
in the rocks and say, "FALL ON US AND HIDE US
FROM...HIM (Jesus)�FOR THE GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS
COME; AND WHO SHALL BE ABLE TO STAND?"-Rev 6:16,17.  


    IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days,
the Battle of Armageddon explodes. It lasts one day.
The kings and armies of the earth are gathered to make
war against Jesus. Jesus Christ returns as the King of
kings and Lord of lords with all His saints. If He had
not returned exactly when He did, there should be no
life left on earth. The Antichrist and false prophet
are cast alive into the lake of fire. Satan is chained
for one thousand years, so he can deceive the nations
no longer till the thousand years be fulfilled. Every
force of nature is likely to be unleashed at once,
including killer tornadoes, hurricanes, tidal waves,
lightning encircling the earth, and the biggest
earthquake in mankind�s history. The cities and the
mountains of the world will crumble. The Bible tells
that every island fled away. The mountains were not
found. There is great hail out of heaven, every stone
about the weight of 70 to l00 pounds. The earth will
move out of its place. At the end of that one day,
there are so few people left alive that a child could
list them.

    This may all sound like a fairy tale, but
remember�from Israel�s rebirth to the Tribulation,
there are about 365 prophecies. Incredibly, nearly all
have now been fulfilled. In addition, there are over
10,000 prophecies in the Bible and every one up to
this time has come true without a single exception.
THE FOOL HAS SAID IN HIS HEART THERE IS NO GOD-Ps
14:1.

ARE YOU READY TO MEET JESUS?

    We have proven that the Bible is God's Word. Now
you are faced with a decision. Will you ignore what
you have learned, or will you surrender your life to
Jesus? If you had a sudden heart attack or the Rapture
came in the next five minutes, are you sure you are
ready to meet God? You may say, "I believe I�m a good
person. I sing in the choir.  I attend church and give
offerings." The Bible says all of your righteous deeds
ARE AS FILTHY RAGS. You may be religious and go to
church, but if you died right now�you would perish to
hell. Why? Because you have not been born-again. You
may say, "Well my church never preaches like this."
Will you trust your religion or what the Bible says?
If you choose not to accept God�s way to enter heaven,
then you are choosing eternal separation from God.

YOU MAY ASK, WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?  FOUR THINGS.

    1. You must admit that you are a sinner. The Bible
tells us, ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY
OF GOD. THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH.
    2. Be willing to change, to forsake all sin, to
humble yourself and live for Jesus. Repent. Be willing
to ask God for His help to make that change. The Bible
tells us, EXCEPT YE REPENT, YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE
PERISH. WHOSOEVER THEREFORE WILL BE A FRIEND OF THE
WORLD IS THE ENEMY OF GOD. Jesus tells us, HE THAT IS
NOT WITH ME IS AGAINST ME.
    3. Believe in your heart Jesus Christ is God�s
only begotten Son, God Who came to this earth in human
form. Believe He died for your sins. It is written,
THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN,
WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED. If you are caught robbing a
bank, you have to go to jail. Jesus never sinned. When
He died on the cross, He did not die for the things He
did. He died to pay your jail sentence.
    4. Ask for forgiveness. Ask for God�s mercy. By
faith receive Jesus Christ as your only hope of
salvation. Afterwards, be willing to get baptized by
full immersion in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
    Nicodemus was considered a very religious man in
the Bible; however, in Jn 3:3, Jesus shows him it is
not enough. You MUST BE BORN AGAIN.     I am going to
ask you to make that decision for Jesus right now. You
need to humble yourself, repent and ask Jesus to be
your Lord and Savior. Please kneel right where you
are. Can you sense God calling you right now? Is your
heart pounding? You may have been baptized or
confirmed, but something inside you is saying, "Be
sure." Perhaps you have strayed from God and need to
rededicate your life to Jesus now. Would you rather go
to be with God or the lake of fire? You have that
choice right now. God wants you to receive the gift of
eternal life. Are you sure there is not a sin, there
is nothing that stands between you and God? But you
may know there is. The Bible tells us THERE IS A WAY
WHICH SEEMETH RIGHT UNTO A MAN, BUT THE END THEREOF
ARE THE WAYS OF DEATH. Jesus wants you to KNOW HIM, to
have a personal relationship with Him. It�s not a
matter of whether you think you know Jesus, but does
Jesus know you?    Right now, kneel and pray this
prayer out loud, and mean it with all your heart.

    DEAR JESUS, I AM A SINNER.  I BELIEVE YOU ARE THE
SON OF GOD AND DIED FOR MY SINS ON THE CROSS.  FORGIVE
ALL OF MY SINS.  JESUS, I REPENT.  I ASK YOU TO HAVE
MERCY ON ME, A SINNER, AND COME INTO MY LIFE.  GIVE ME
YOUR SPIRIT AND YOUR POWER.  HELP ME TO FOLLOW AND
OBEY YOUR COMMANDMENTS, AND TO LIVE FOR YOU. JESUS, I
GIVE YOU MY LIFE.  THANK YOU FOR HEARING MY PRAYER.
THANK YOU FOR COMING INTO MY LIFE.  I ASK IT IN THE
NAME OF MY LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.  AMEN.

IF YOU JUST SAID THAT PRAYER AND MEANT IT

    We recommend you now read your Bible every day
faithfully�5 or more chapters a day. Begin with the
Gospel of John and read it through three times. Next
go to Matthew and read the New Testament through three
times. Then begin reading the entire Bible in order,
beginning with Genesis. As God opens up His Word to
you, obey it. Be a doer of the Word and not a hearer
only, deceiving yourself-ref Ja 1:22. As you are
faithful, God will open your understanding of His Word
more and more.
    Find a good Bible-teaching church that teaches
God�s Word, sound doctrine, Bible prophecy, the
Revelation, not just stories about worldly things.
They should also love and support Israel and the
Jewish people. Attend often and get baptized. Tell
others that Jesus is your only hope of salvation. If
you�ve just said that prayer and committed your life
to Jesus, please e-mail us and let us know. We would
like to pray for you and send you some free
literature.  Please send your postal mailing address.
                     

FINAL NOTE ON SALVATION

    "After" we believe on Jesus Christ, "after" we
have repented of our sins, we are commanded to be
baptized by full immersion in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is written,
HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED; BUT
HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT SHALL BE DAMNED-Mk 16:16. Note,
believing on Jesus comes "before" water baptism.
Infant baptism or any baptism prior to repenting and
believing on Jesus has no meaning. You cannot be
baptized into One on Whom you do not believe. It is
written, FOR AS MANY OF YOU AS HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO
CHRIST HAVE PUT ON CHRIST-Gal 3:27. Water baptism is
by full immersion. As it is written, BURIED WITH HIM
(with Jesus) IN BAPTISM (or buried in the water)-Col
2:12, ref Ro 6:4. Jesus commanded, GO YE THEREFORE,
AND TEACH ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF
THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY GHOST:
TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE
COMMANDED YOU: AND, LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN
UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD. AMEN-Mt 28:19,20.
    Surrender means "you give up." You stop putting
your will before God�s will. You allow Jesus (God�s
Word) to reign over you. You submit to Jesus and let
Him become the Lord of your life.
    If you have not yet humbled yourself, and totally
surrendered to Jesus, and become as a little child
(ref Mt 18:3), and continued steadfast in the faith, I
would suggest that NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME; BEHOLD,
NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION-2 Cor 6:2. Please submit
to God, say the prayer, and mean it with all of your
heart. God loves YOU and cares.

I CALL HEAVEN AND EARTH TO RECORD THIS DAY AGAINST
YOU, THAT I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU LIFE AND
DEATH, BLESSING AND CURSING: THEREFORE CHOOSE LIFE,
THAT�THOU�MAY LIVE-Deut 30:19.
