Today we are one day closer to the return of Yeshua than we were yesterday. Tomorrow we will be even one day closer. It is my prayer that this year finds Yom Teruah’s יום תרועה (Yom Teru'ah, a day of sounding [the Shofar] prophetic fulfillment in Yeshua’s return for his bride.
Believers are not given knowledge that will allow us to predict the exact day of Yeshua's return. In fact, Yeshua was not even empowered with the ability to predict the specific day of His return. Mathew 24:36 states "of that day and of that hour no man can know, no, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only." Believers do not know the exact day of Yeshua's return. Not knowing requires us to live each day as if Yeshua will return today. Not being prepared led to the destruction of society during the time of Noah. Mathew 24:37-39 states "as the days of Noah-so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man; for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, till the day Noah entered into the ark, and they did not know till the flood came and took all away; so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man."
Yom Teruah’ - Rosh Hashanah - September 13, 2015 at sundown (1st of Tishrei, 5776)
Lent - Origins and Meaning
Mardi Gras (also known as Carnival and “Fat Tuesday”) precedes the Holy Season of Lent. Most people,
Christians included, know more about Mardi Gras than they do about Lent. In the early days of the Church (Roman Catholic was the only church then), Lent had two major emphases:
(1) It was seen as a time of repentance and denial of self. All Christians were to examine their lives according to the Ten Commandments and other Christian ethical precepts and repent where necessary. They were to remember what it cost their Savior to save them.
(2) It was a time of instruction and preparation for the electi who wanted to become members of the Christian Church. This practice has generally been replaced with formal preparation for First Communion or Confirmation in the modern church.
The celebration of Lent varies widely among various denominations today. For some, especially in the Eastern Orthodox Church, Lent is given great importance. In some Protestant denominations, Lent is barely recognized at all.

Montana To Pass Historic Anti-Foreign Law Legislation – Will Kill Sharia
by Pamela Geller
It is time to stand up for American rule of law and individual rights for all. And Montana is doing just that. Senate Bill 199, introduced by state Sen. Janna Taylor, R-Dayton, would nullify any “court, arbitration or administrative agency ruling” that relies on any foreign law contrary to rights guaranteed to Montanans by the state or U.S. constitutions. Taylor’s bill is entitled “Primacy of Montana Law,” and prohibits the use of foreign laws and customs from being considered in a Montana court of law. This is Montana’s version of an anti-Sharia law bill, modeled off similar legislation that has passed in Louisiana, Kansas and Tennessee. [...]

w vids Father Protests Islamic Indoctrination in Florida Curriculum
– School District Justifies It with Support of Terror Group
Seminole County’s Lyman High School is being called out for its blatant Islamic indoctrination by a student’s father. Ron Wagner read, “There is no god, but God, Muhamad is the messenger of God.” However, he wasn’t reading from the Koran, The Five Pillars of Islam or the Hadiths. He was reading from his son’s 10th grade world history textbook. Even more concerning is that the school district not only stands by the curriculum, but have the full support of designated terror group Hamas-CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations). As an introduction to what is going on, Wagner of Seminole County told WFTV’s Daralene Jones that the school is “requiring our kids in our public schools to learn Islamic prayers.” [...]

Whether a Civilization Endures is Determined by How it Confronts Evil

Michelle Obama’s reaction to the kidnapping of hundreds of Nigerian girls by Boko Haram was to promote a photo of herself holding a sign with the tweet #BringBackOurGirls.

" Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Yeshua should die for that nation; And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of G-D that were scattered abroad. Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death. " (John 11:50-53)
Prophecy: The place of His burial
Location of Prophecy in Bible: Isaiah 53:9
Prophecy Fulfilled in Bible: Matthew 27:57-60
" He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. " (Isaiah 53:8-9)
"When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Yeshua' disciple: He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Yeshua. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. " (Matthew 27:57-60)

SERMON - DO NOT BE A SPIRITUAL CASUALTY
Pastor Lee S Gliddon Jr.
With all of the signs around that lead us, as Christians, to think of the last days, we must be ever on guard. We cannot be weak in our faith in Jesus Christ and be lead astray by any that would teach us false gospels and words that do not come from God.
1 Timothy 4:1-2 1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.
It is without a doubt that every one of us has been exposed to false teachings and claims that were so outlandish that we were surprised to see people, who called themselves Christian, not only listening to such teachings and claims but espousing them as God’s truths!
Most recently we have seen a man, supposedly a Christian Reverend, sermonizing on the evils committed by one race upon another. In God’s name this man stated, in a continuous rant, that his people, simply because they were black, had been subjected to chemical induction of viruses, educationally stifled, and other Christians, due to their being Caucasian, were the responsible perpetrators! So bad was his ranting that he repeatedly called on God to, “damn,” a nation.
As I watched film clips of this sermon, and others of the same vein, sadly I could hear “Amen…amen and amen” repeatedly being voiced by the congregation present!
Can you, as a Christian, believe for one second, let’s say a par second, that God wanted those words voiced as Christian teachings?
In past times I have heard so-called Pastors making false statements as they attributed those words they spoke to be “Right out of the Bible.” In accordance with God’s Word I, in the company of other Christians, sought to have those particular Pastors read the Bible and point out where the words they had spoken could be found. None could as the words they spoke, as they attributed them to God, were not God’s Word!
My time in being exposed to such false teachings was in the 1990s. Now I see groups, calling themselves Christian, committing acts for their financial gain or to demonize bereaved people for their own aggrandizement.
People, let me say this, “It is getting worse by the day.”
2 Timothy 3:1-13 1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
6They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth. 8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth—men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.
Paul's Charge to Timothy
10You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
It is so bad today as even the politicians that have no teachings of God’s Word are attributing instructional words to God’s Word. When the error of their ways is pointed out to them they seek to lay the blame of such false teachings at the feet of actual, and genuine, Christian Priests and Pastors.
I want to tell each of you, each Christian brother and sister, that I pray to God that you will never allow yourself to be led astray by any such teachings. With our human weaknesses we all have the potential, even the inclination to sin and fall away from God’s true Word.
I ask that each of you read, study, discuss with other Christians the Scripture set forth in 2 Timothy 3:1-13 and pray that God will have the Holy Spirit enter into your hearts and grant you the wisdom to understand His Word.
We must ever be on guard as the assaults on our Christianity are often disguised as people claiming to be Christian but in truth, are not Christian at all.
In closing I set forth a Passage of God’s Word that is very applicable. Pray on this and resolve to be strong and forever in God’s grace.
Romans 13: 11-12 11 And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
(Closing prayer)
Almighty God, Father and Creator, we praise You and stand before You in worship of all that You are and all that You have blessed us with over the course of our lifetimes. You alone are our God and there is no other. Thank You Father for all You have done.
Lord, there are wolves amongst us that would lead us astray as the voice false words and attribute them to You. We pray that You will strengthen our discernment and our resolve to be with You and no other. When we hear those that tell us lies to turn us from You and Your ways, grant us the strength to speak in Your behalf with the Words You have etched in our hearts and in our minds. Lord, let us stand strong for You, O Lord, for You are our God.
Father, forgive us our sins and transgressions and be with us as we face the rigors of the lies and untruths of those that would lead us from You and to strange teachings. We pray that You will keep us in Your protection and grant us Your mercy.
Lord, we ask that You protect our military, our elected officials, our judges, our security personnel, our police officers, and each of us. Be with our Christian brothers and sisters throughout the world and do not allow any to succumb to the false words of those that are not of You truths.
Lord, enter the hearts of those that would persecute us and open their minds to Your Divine Word.
In Jesus’ name we pray who is One with You and the Holy Spirit, One God forever and ever,
Amen, amen and amen.
As a footnote I would like to add: One of our Christian sisters sent me God’s Word in the New International Version. As I was providing Scripture from the New Living Translation some wordings may be different but I assure you that all, and I mean all, are God’s Word!
