How To Be Saved

How To Be Saved Many people wonder how they can be saved from the consequences of their sins and have eternal life. The Bible teaches that salvation is a gift from God that cannot be earned by human efforts or merits. Salvation is based on God's grace and mercy, which He offers to anyone who believes in His Son, Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of the world and rose again from the dead, proving His power over sin and death. Anyone who confesses their sins, repents of their wrongdoings, and trusts in Jesus Christ as their only way to God will be saved. Salvation is not a one-time event, but a lifelong relationship with God that involves obedience, growth, and service. To be saved, one must follow the steps below: 1. Recognize that you are a sinner and that you need God's forgiveness. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." 2. Acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for your sins and rose again from the dead. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." 3. Repent of your sins and turn away from your old way of living. Acts 3:19 says, "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord." 4. Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior by faith. Romans 10:9 says, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." 5. Confess your faith in Jesus Christ publicly and join a local church where you can grow in your knowledge and love of God. Matthew 10:32 says, "Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven."

The number 7 holds significance in the Bible as it is often seen as complete and perfect. It is mentioned 524 times throughout the Bible, with various symbolic meanings attached to it. However, it's important to note that it  is speculative to interpret specific events, such as the October 7th attack by Hamas on Israel, as a sign of the end times based solely on the occurrence of the number 7 in the Bible.

While the occurrence of the number 7 in the Bible is indeed significant, I'm not attempting to conclude that what happened on October 7th aligns with established theological principles and the end times until I observe further developments in the Middle East. 

One of the killers of Palestinians Former Israeli Defense Minister and Netanyahu rival Benny Gantz has stated that he will resign from Israel's war Cabinet on June 8  (the sixth month) unless a new plan for dealing with Gaza is developed. Gantz's ultimatum comes as a response to the ongoing conflict and challenges in the region, particularly about Gaza.

This move could have significant implications for the political landscape in Israel and the handling of security matters in the region. However, that date still gives Netanyahu time to completely take over Gaza and kill thousands of innocent civilians. 

In the Bible, the number 8 is often associated with new beginnings, resurrection, and regeneration. Here are some symbolic meanings of the number 8 in the Bible:

New Beginnings: The number 8 is often seen as symbolizing a new start or a new era. In the Bible, the eighth day represents a new beginning beyond the natural order. For example, Jesus was resurrected on the first day of the week, which symbolizes a new beginning for humanity.

Resurrection: The number 8 is connected to the concept of resurrection because Jesus rose from the dead on the first day of the week, which is the eighth day counting from the Jewish Sabbath.

Regeneration: Just as the number 8 symbolizes new beginnings, it also represents regeneration or renewal. It signifies a transformation or a fresh start in one's spiritual journey.

Covenant: Circumcision, a sign of the covenant between God and Abraham, was to be performed on the eighth day after a male child's birth. This ritual symbolizes the covenant relationship between God and His people.

Completeness or Fulfillment: In some interpretations, the number 8 is seen as representing completeness or fulfillment. It can signify the completion of a cycle or the fulfillment of a promise or prophecy.

Overall, the number 8 in the Bible carries rich symbolic meanings related to new beginnings, resurrection, regeneration, covenant, and completeness.

I am still searching and waiting for the fulfillment of the prophecy in Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 27. Gantz's actions could signal its confirmation by the Antichrist. In this process, forget about Third Temples and Red Cows.

I was sorry to hear about the tragic news of the death of the Iranian president in a helicopter crash. It is indeed a sorrowful event. Such incidents are always deeply distressing and significantly impact a nation and its people. The loss of a leader can have far-reaching consequences both domestically and internationally. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Iran during this difficult time.

The term "god of forces" is mentioned in the Bible in the book of Daniel, specifically in Daniel 11:38 (King James Version). In this verse, it refers to a deity or power worshiped by a king who exalts himself above all gods. However, it does not specifically name this deity as "Apollyon."

"Apollyon" is a different term mentioned in the Bible, specifically in the book of Revelation. In Revelation 9:11 (King James Version), Apollyon is described as the king of the demonic locusts that emerge during the fifth trumpet judgment. Apollyon is often interpreted as a symbolic figure representing destruction or the angel of the bottomless pit. Therefore, "god of forces" and "Apollyon" are distinct terms found in different parts of the Bible with different contexts and meanings. 

Do not take the Bible out of context and add meanings or verses that are not there to begin with. To do so, you are summoning a curse upon yourself.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and research on mythological and historical figures in relation to interpretations of Daniel Chapter 11 verse 37 and the concept of the Antichrist. Your exploration of these figures adds depth to understanding the diverse interpretations surrounding the Antichrist concept and biblical text, despite their lack of explicit mention in the verse.

Regarding Daniel Chapter 11 Verse 37, while there is no explicit mention of the Antichrist as a Jewish figure, it is still the most popular interpretation. The verse describes a ruler who will show no regard for the gods of his ancestors or the desire of women, with interpretations varying among scholars and religious traditions. The concept of the Antichrist is more commonly associated with Christian eschatology, particularly in the New Testament book of Revelation. The Antichrist is often depicted as a figure who opposes Christ and deceives people, but the desire of women is never depicted as a mythological, historical figure or deity, as you are suggesting.

  • Ashtoreth (Astarte):

    • A pagan goddess worshipped by ancient cultures.

    • Associated with Baal, the supreme god.

    • Often depicted as a fertility goddess.

  • Ishtar:

    • A Mesopotamian goddess known for war and love.

    • Considered a fertility deity.

    • Associated with power and dominance.

  • Queen of Heaven:

    • Title given to various ancient sky goddesses.

    • In Christian tradition, associated with Mary, mother of Jesus.

    • Seen as the heavenly queen due to her son's role as king.

  • Libertas:

    • Roman goddess symbolizing liberty.

    • Personification of freedom and personal liberty.

    • Had a temple on the Aventine Hill in Rome.

  • Lady Liberty:

    • Refers to the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor.

    • Gift from France to the United States.

    • Represents Libertas, the Roman goddess of liberty.

The United States proxy war in Ukraine has directly affected high food prices globally. The protracted conflict in Ukraine has led to trade disruptions and significant increases in international prices for energy and agricultural commodities. Global crop and food prices have been increasing since mid-2020, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine has further driven up prices.

In fact, because of Russia's invasion, global food prices hit an all-time high in March 2022. Although prices have started receding in the global market, they remain elevated even after retreating from their peak levels. Therefore, the war in Ukraine has had a direct impact on high food prices worldwide.

It's important to approach the topic of wars with sensitivity and historical accuracy. The US has been involved in wars with varying degrees of success and outcomes, including victories and defeats. 

However, it is not entirely accurate to say that the US starts and loses most wars, but they have been involved in more wars than any other nation throughout history each with its historical context, motivations, and outcomes.  

Wars are complex events influenced by a variety of factors, such as political, economic, social, and strategic considerations. However, in the instance of the United States, they appear to start another war just as soon as they finish another one.

The decision to engage in military action is a serious one that often involves debates, diplomacy, and considerations of national security. It still appears essential for the US economy to start one war after another for the manufacture of weapons.

Russia still needs to be stopped in Ukraine. However, there is also no doubt that the current genocide in Gaza is a result of the Jewish bankers and industrialists within the United States backing Israel to the hilt despite the obvious horrors they are inflicting on unprotected Palestinian civilians.

Accordingly, Biden will not necessarily lose the election because of inflation but because of the way he handled the racial extermination of Palestinians in Gaza, with both Ukraine and Gaza Biden’s wars. 

However, as he stole the election the last time, nothing is preventing him from doing so again despite what the polls predict. Trump will still lose again and you will be gone off YouTube forever.

Revelation Chapter 6 Verses 5 and 6

5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. 

The symbolism in the Book of Revelation mentioned is highly symbolic and open to various interpretations. The concept of control over resources and manipulation of food supplies can be tied to broader themes of power, control, and scarcity in apocalyptic literature.  

In Revelation, Chapter 6 of the Bible, the rider on the black horse is often interpreted as a symbol of scarcity and famine. The passage describes a rider holding a pair of scales, which is associated with measuring out food. However, the specific scenario about the Antichrist taking control of food supplies, setting exorbitant prices, and deciding who lives or dies, although not explicitly mentioned in this chapter or in the Book of Revelation, is what it refers to. Although the Antichrist's actions are not directly stated in Revelation Chapter 6, most scholars agree with that interpretation.

It's essential to approach the interpretation of biblical passages with caution and consider different perspectives from scholars and theologians when trying to understand the meanings behind these symbolic images in the Book of Revelation. To suggest that Trump is the Antichrist would mean that every Christian must be aware of that fact by now and would not vote for Trump because they would already know that food prices will skyrocket under the Antichrist, as stated in Revelation Chapter 6 and the Black Horse.

The Israeli contestant at Eurovision was booed during the competition. There were instances of booing directed towards the Israeli contestant during the grand final of Eurovision. This caused some chaos during the event. It seems that the booing was a major theme of Eurovision 2024 in Malmö. The Israeli contestant, Eden Golan, sang in Hebrew and faced booing from some members of the Eurovision crowd.

There are no specific reasons that have been published for the booing directed at the Israeli contestant during Eurovision. However, it's important to note that the Eurovision Song Contest is a non-political event that aims to bring countries together through music and entertainment. The reasons for any booing are related to various political, social, or humanitarian issues, but the event itself is meant to promote unity and cultural exchange among participating nations. However, that did not happen in the case of Israel.

It seems that the booing was not directed at a personal level but rather aimed at the current Israeli invasion of the Palestinian state. This invasion has led to the deaths of thousands of Palestinians, which the world now considers one of the worst genocides in decades against unarmed citizens. Therefore, in the eyes of many, the booing may have been well and truly justified.

The term "Blood Libel" historically refers to the false accusation that Jewish people use the blood of Christian children in religious rituals, which has been a long-standing anti-Semitic trope. It is crucial to be cautious when using this term and to understand its historical context to avoid perpetuating harmful stereotypes such as you are attempting to perpetrate with this latest “trash” newsletter.

Your statement about Gaza is unfounded and biased, and it's important to approach discussions about the situation in Gaza with empathy, understanding, and a focus on peace and justice for all parties involved. However it is clear that you as alleged Christians are failing to fulfill your “duty of care” obligations. 

When discussing events in Gaza, it is advisable to use accurate and precise language that reflects the specific circumstances and complexities of the situation without invoking historically loaded terms like "Blood Libel." 

The situation in Gaza should be discussed based on facts and with sensitivity to the suffering of all involved. It is inaccurate to suggest that Israel is not involved in genocide when the whole world can see what is taking place. Furthermore, using a term like "Blood Libel" and applying it to Israel is not just an insult to the Palestinians but to the whole world. It's shameful and dishonest.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have recently entered Gaza to close the border with Egypt, aiming to prevent supplies from reaching Gaza. They have taken control of the vital Rafah border crossing, disrupting the flow of aid and supplies into Gaza. The closure has been ongoing for days with a constantly changing situation. This action is considered illegal, with the US failing to fulfill its obligations to prevent the IDF from entering Rafah under the pretext of targeting Palestinian resistance fighters.

Egypt is pursuing a case against Israel in the International Court of Justice and The Hague to prosecute Israeli war criminals, particularly Netanyahu.

Let us hope they succeed in ridding the world of vermin such as this despite successive US governments and unmentionables like the writers at Cutting Edge Ministries continuing on your hate-filled anti-Arab propaganda, such as your poppycock about genocide not taking place in Gaza you falsely allege at your website.

Note the mirrored image revealing the hidden demon in the painting

The latest portrait of King Charles of Britain, painted by British artist Jonathan Yeo, has sparked attention and controversy. The painting portrays King Charles emerging from a red, fiery background, with his face seemingly floating above a red Welsh Guards uniform, creating a striking and dramatic effect. The nine-foot-tall portrait was unveiled during a ceremony at Buckingham Palace in London on Tuesday, May 14. While some find the portrait slightly terrifying, others appreciate its bold and unique style. Overall, the latest portrait of King Charles has sparked discussion and divided opinions among royal fans.

Here's the revised text for clarity:

From the dark depths of Mordor, behold, the first official portrait of King Charles III since he was crowned monarch. Charles, 75, hosted an unveiling ceremony for his new painting by UK artist Jonathan Yeo at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, local time. Unfortunately for Mr Yeo, the reception has been brutal on social media – the top comment on X gave the simple yet punchy critique: “It is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen.” Charles himself appeared to get a mini fright when he pulled off the black cloak to find an emblazoned red King staring back at him, while Queen Camilla reportedly gave Mr Yeo her stamp of approval, “Yes, you’ve got him.”

Art is subjective. Countless tomes have been written about the rich metaphors embedded beneath the stroke of a paintbrush, with pieces capable of offering varying meanings to different individuals.

Here are some deep thoughts and understandings that Charles' artwork has spawned on social media: One person pondered, "It looks like he's burning in hell." Another mused, "This new King Charles portrait looks like the poster for a truly nightmarish horror movie." Another art aficionado offered, "WTF is this mess." A fourth ruled, "This is almost satanic." Another described it as "ghastly."

A slightly more measured critique was offered by another user, writing, "I like the portrait of King Charles by Jonathan Yeo – the go-to artist for slightly edgy but convincingly recognizable contemporary portraits; before photography, to have a great painter capture your real appearance, you accepted the revelation of your flaws and your mortality. It's what Yeo captures here.

"Meanwhile, local GB News host Nigel Farage, while presenting the news bulletin, described it as a “remarkable” picture.“The uniform almost fades into the background, and what you see from the portrait is the face, the head, of the King.“It is unusual, to say the least, but I rather like it. It’s different.”

Mr Yeo was commissioned to paint the portrait back in 2020 to celebrate the then Prince of Wales’ 50 years as a member of the charitable institution The Drapers’ Company in 2022. The canvas size – approximately 2.6 metres by 2 metres framed – was carefully considered to fit within the architecture of Drapers’ Hall and the context of the paintings it will eventually hang alongside.

“When I started this project, His Majesty The King was still His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, and much like the butterfly I’ve painted hovering over his shoulder, this portrait has evolved as the subject’s role in our public life has transformed,” Mr Yeo said.

“I do my best to capture the life experiences etched into any individual sitter’s face.“In this case, my aim was also to make reference to the traditions of Royal portraiture but in a way that reflects a 21st-century monarchy and, above all else, to communicate the subject’s deep humanity.”

There is no doubt whatsoever that the artist had represented King Charles emerging from the depths of Hell as the Antichrist. I do not believe he is the Antichrist though, but who knows?

Arthritis is a common condition that causes pain and inflammation in the joints. It can affect one or multiple joints and can lead to stiffness, swelling, and decreased range of motion. There are different types of arthritis, with the two most common being osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis: This is the most common type of arthritis and occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time. It commonly affects the hips, knees, hands, and spine.

Rheumatoid arthritis: This is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, leading to inflammation, pain, and eventually joint damage. It often affects the hands, wrists, and knees.

Other types of arthritis include gout, lupus arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis. Symptoms of arthritis can vary but often include joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and decreased range of motion. Treatment for arthritis aims to reduce pain, improve joint function, and prevent further joint damage. This can include medications, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgery.

As a word of testimony, I was pressure washing the driveway a few weeks ago when I had a terrible fall and landed on concrete edging on the left-hand side of my body. The resultant bruise was big, black, and enormous. I can hear some of my friends saying "serve yourself right".

Before the fall, I had mild arthritis in the hip region on that side, which had begun to spread to the other leg. I could not walk without feeling pain in that region. I went to the doctor, who sent me for X-rays and referred me to the hospital. The hospital said the swelling was not bad enough to warrant a procedure. However, miraculously, after the fall, the arthritis was gone, and I can now walk pain-free. This was achieved with no thanks to the quack doctors who overcharged me for a steroid injection that did not work.

I call this fall an act of God that freed me from all associated pain related to arthritis. Praise the Lord.
