Considering the canon of Scripture, it’s a common error for the less scholarly to think of all ancient documents – alleged to be Christian, but outside the Scripture canon – to be fiction, Gnostic or heresy, fit for today’s occult New Age.  To be under the category of what Paul called, “cleverly devised fables.” Thus, everything deemed under this convenient catch-all category is quickly dismissed; readers consider themselves ever loyal to Truth and go their way…

But wait a minute! There is still another category Satan wants all to consider non-existent.  And that is the category of True History.  True neglected history.  Josephus gives us True History though his is not neglected.  But how many other true histories are neglected?

For decades, I wouldn’t go anywhere near the Gospel of Mary; patting myself on the back for exemplary loyalty to Scriptural Truth.  But then, one day, I saw the same Matthew who wrote the Gospel of Matthew also wrote the Gospel of Mary.  Hmmm.  Perusing it, I could only conclude Matthew would not lie about this, any more than Josephus would lie. Standing as an authentic historical document, though not considered Scripture, its history appears as valid from the Jewish Matthew as from the Jewish Josephus.

Under God’s Sovereignty, could it be that as Scriptural prophecy is progressive, the revealing of True History is progressive?  A “Fullness of time” for both?    That God knew of these neglected histories in their archaeological wombs, before they were born, and when they were to be born?

More and more, I considered the Gospel of Peter under this category.  Could it be Peter had both Scriptural writings and true non-canon history as did Matthew?  In 1886, the French archeological mission excavating in the grave of a monk, came upon a parchment codex.  Scholars realized for the first time that a striking discovery, possibly of overwhelming importance, had been made.  Unfortunately, only a portions of The Gospel According to Peter was restored to the Christian Community after having been lost for ages.  Indeed, Justin Martyr’s ancient testimony says, “The conclusion with which we are confronted is that The Gospel of Peter once held a place of honor, comparable to that assigned to the Four Gospels, perhaps even higher than some of them.”

So what happened?  Surely, God is able to preserve His Word.    

As I read this, what unfolded fascinated me more and more.  These fascinations centered on the Petronius centurion.  For those of us who are seasoned Christians, we have studied the difference between “Petras” and “Petra” regarding Christ’s words, “Upon this Rock I will build my Church.” The rock upon which the church will be built is “petra“, a feminine noun, the Bride of Christ.     Some hold that when Jesus said “Upon this rock I will build my church,” he was referring to Peter, because the two Greek words – petros and petra – basically mean the same thing, they say.  The debate rages over whether “the rock” on which Christ will build His church is Peter, or Peter’s confession that Jesus is “the Christ, the Son of the Living God” (Matthew 16:16). In all honesty, there is no way for us to be 100% sure which view is correct. The grammatical construction allows for either view.

The first view is that Jesus was declaring that Peter would be the “rock” on which He would build His church. Jesus appears to be using a play on words. “You are Peter (petros) and on this rock (petra) I will build my church.” Since Peter’s name means rock, and Jesus is going to build His church on a rock – it appears that Christ is linking the two together. God used Peter greatly in the foundation of the church. It was Peter who first proclaimed the Gospel on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:14-47). Peter was also the first to take the Gospel to the Gentiles (Acts 10:1-48). In a sense, Peter was the rock “foundation” of the church. The other popular interpretation of the rock is that Jesus was referring not to Peter, but to Peter’s confession of faith in verse 16: “You are the Christ, the son of the living God.” 

In any event, in The Gospel of Peter, we now see Petronius standing before the Rock sealing the grave.  Not only does “Petronius” also refer to rock, but the mention of him and the scribes, guarding the tomb, associatively call to mind Peter (Petras) and his young scribe, Mark, whose gospel was basically the words of Peter.  On one level, this arrangement could have been intended as a Satanic mockery, with a non-Christian Petronius and non-Christian scribes guarding the Tomb with its sealed rock.       

On the other hand, “Upon this (rolled away) Rock I will build my Church.”  Our Lord and the Holy Spirit are not less myriad minded than Shakespeare.  Shakespeare, created by God (whether or not associated with Francis Bacon) explored the multiple meanings of words and phrases and all were accurate. 

I have been to the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem. I stood where Petronius stood, where the famous Rock was rolled away; and inside the tomb, where Christ refused to remain confined.  And I now have to ask myself, “Why would God hold back a fragment of the Gospel of Peter till more recent times?  The Gospel of Peter, commented on in Justin Martyr’s ancient testimony.”

Why?  I believe one reason is to heighten awareness and call attention to still another highly-associative Rock, Petra, where hundreds of thousands of the Chosen will soon be fleeing!  To escape the wrath of the Antichrist and the “abomination which causeth desolation” as prophesied in the Book of Daniel!  Find out more by downloading this FREE book on Petra for your immediate possession and share with others:

The same Petra Moses visited; King David experienced; and where the brilliant student of Gamaliel, Paul, dwelled for study and contemplation after Divinely healed of blindness.  The Treasury of God’s Chosen – Goldmans, Goldbergs, Goldsteins, Silvermans – will soon be a reality.

The Warrior Road

Marcus Aurelius persecuted Christians for opposing his Stoic philosophy

“The way forward is the way back.”  “Those who refuse to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.”  Outside of Scripture, these could be the most timely and urgent quotations of our day!

From its very beginning, the Church was over against much of its environment.  What repented was received and redeemed.  Those who did not repent were anti-Christian.  There was no neutrality as we know it today.

“The Church’s first duty was to organize itself in such a way that it could most effectively resist physical persecution,” emphasizes historian Erik Routley of Mansfield College, Oxford.  It is time for everyone to understand this is the right thing to do!

In the past 20 centuries, there were only brief periods without persecution.  Indeed, persecution is on the rise globally, today, and it is time to understand what this means for the North American Church.

As often perceived, through the centuries, it was the State which opposed Christianity.  Ultimately, Christianity always triumphed.  Too, persecution often caused Christianity to grow with a harvest of new and dedicated converts.  Christian minds were sharpened by controversy, and spirits refined by persecution.

Christians saw with ancient Rome that it was Stoicism which took hold on the heart of Rome – much as secularism (an offshoot of Marxism) has done today.  Marxism was defined by Jewish convert Richard Wurmbrand as Satanism.  Too many politicians and oligarchs today are not only Marxists, but Luciferians, worshiping Satan openly as Klaus Schwab and Hillary Clinton do today.

These control the State with their routine payola, bribes and insider-trading tips to politicians, who end up being anti-Christian as a result.  These also work to destroy Christian society and values via billions in grants to UNESCO and the NEA.

The bloodiest and most extensive campaigns of Rome against the Church were those under Marcus Aurelius, Septimius Severus, Decius and Valerian.  Marcus Aurelius was one of the greatest Stoic philosophers Rome produced.  Rome’s philosophical expressions had much in common with Stoicism, which was incompatible with Christianity.  The Christian could not tolerate the image of the emperor on its altar.  But the Church met this persecution defiantly and triumphantly!

And so it will be again today!  But the Church must first tune in to resist and defy, resist and defy, resist and defy, God’s way, to once again be victorious as were its forebears!  That is, as its forebear Warriors! 

Though we are living today in a world of theological slop, it’s time to start clarifying and being pro-active with what’s worked for the church in the past.  Prayer and fasting are the starting and intermittent points; while the Restrainer in us wants to come out of Lockdown and start Restraining, with You as His hands!

Three months before she died, I spoke with the granddaughter of Louis Riel.  She was in a physician’s waiting room and we struck up a good conversation.  After taking in history privileged only to her family, I asked, “What was the main reason Louis Riel lost?”  “Oh, that’s easy to answer,” she said.  “He said over and over that if only he’d had more people, he could have easily won!”

Think about this on the practical level.  One way for Christians to successfully defy and resist for ultimate victory, is to grow the Church through one-on-one evangelization.  That is where it’s at.  Of course, “One with God is a Majority.”  And an endless number of new Christians have to be taught this!

On your mark, get set, go!  Better to evangelize now before you can only do it in a FEMA camp or privatized prison!  Better to do it now before the young go off to war!  Better to do it now before proselytizing is an imprisoning offense by the Marxist Luciferic State.  Let’s learn from history including two thousands years of Christianity and Louis Real!

PERILOUS TIMES

Perilous Times

What makes these prophesied perilous times all the more perilous? It is this: While the Luciferian supernatural is raging at fever pitch, the Holy Spirit has been constricted, to the point it is painful to the Body of Christ!

One way to define this painful end-times enigma is the Adversarial taking of the “moral high ground.” Lucifer’s agent Trotsky, in real life and in his legacy, demonstrates this every 21st-century day: in such “moral high ground” as “racist” and “racism,” words invented by atheist Communist Trotsky to destroy nationalism.

But while hexes, spells, curses and incantations rage – through witches in the pews, seances, covens, and Marxism as a front for Satanism – the Gifts of the Holy Spirit are cleverly ousted and thoroughly banned behind the scenes.

God’s order in Sunday services, for His Precious Gifts of the Spirit, is cleverly bypassed. There is no place for their Divine spontaneity. Rather, for the sake of a pristinely and flawlessly ordered YouTube service, Sunday service structures are minutely mapped out, to be the epitome of structured presentation and order.

But without God’s full involvement in every service.

The hoards of deceived pastors, who pledge their hearts and souls to these “flawless” services, have their “logic” for keeping the Gifts of the Holy Spirit at a quiet distance. But what they soon have to confront is that “logic is not truth.” The following are examples:

It is ok to talk about the Gifts of the Spirit in messages, discourses and sermons. Many are even excitedly enthusiastic about doing so! But they always fall short of actually implementing them. This is so that a “flawless” YouTube order is always maintained.

Needless to say, such YouTube creations are depriving and destroying the church. Depriving the Holy Spirit of his full involvement in every service. Even (and sometimes especially) where His Presence is unusually Powerful in a Sunday service, His Divine input and manifestations of Love are severely constricted…

Pastors exempt themselves from the “risk of faith” and opt for a “beautiful” and uninterrupted YouTube service which feeds their pride. In their logic, “God is a God of order. Why should he want spontaneities, not in the Sunday YouTube agenda, to smudge His services?”

They wouldn’t think of asking the already hard-working techs to edit out such alleged “smudges.” “And besides,” YouTube-loving pastors contend, “seekers who are new to Christianity can easily be scared away from complete conversions. Why scare away children, teens and adults, when their eternal salvation is at stake?”

And there will be those pastors who will restrain those with the Gifts of the Spirit, disagreeing on unrelated issues, when (imperfect) anointed ones will not be able to use their Gifts, till they agree with the subjective way pastors see things. In the final analysis, such measures give security to overly-authoritarian pastors, while punishing and constricting the Holy Spirit who wants to manifest….

Needless to say, all this logic was foreign to the growth of the Early Church. There was no YouTube to be mindful of then. The Holy Spirit usually reigned Supreme in catacomb services – as He will do, once again, in cell groups and home churches, following a YouTube-incapacitating EMP attack, allowed under His Sovereignty.

Allowed under His Sovereignty, so Divine Manifestation of the Gifts of the Spirit can proceed, unhindered, to the fullest benefit of the End-Times Church. Soros-controlled YouTube will metaphorically gather dust and cobwebs, much as the statues of Roman deities, when new Christians left them for those catacombs and meeting places, “where the Holy Spirit was allowed to act to the max,” and not just talked about.

Once again, Holy Spirit signs, marvels, wonders, from Divine Grace will routinely appear for those who diligently seek them. Until then, these perilous times are made even more perilous, in thousands of services where God is not allowed to act. Not allowed to act with leading, direction, guidance, through timely and Divinely-infused wisdom, knowledge, discernment, miracles, healings.

After an EMP, the Potter will say to the clay, “You are the body of Christ. Each one of you is a part of it. First, I, God have placed apostles in the church. Second, I, God, have placed prophets in the church. Third, I, God, have placed teachers in the church. Then I have given to the church miracles and gifts of healing. I have also given the gift of helping others and the gift of guiding the church. I, God, also give the gift of speaking in different kinds of languages.”

“With the most convincing deceptions, 21st-century technology caused you to stray. But now we are Back to Basics….” 

YouTube will no longer hinder the Divine Spontaneities of the end-times Church…. In the absence of YouTube, many will truly “Rise from the dead” into the full functionality of the end-times Church!”

A Better Place

No where in Scripture does it say Divine Inspiration ends with Scripture!
Indeed, the Holy Bible serves many Life-giving purposes!
While we do not add to the Bible, we add to the richness of our lives
with Holy Spirit-inspired Poetry through the Ages…….
Dante, Milton, Isaac Watts, George Herbert, George MacDonald

“Being in the image of the Creator, we are called to Creativity,” said Dr. Francis Schaeffer.
