February 2003 Comments

Revelation to you is second hand knowledge to me. Number one: Jesus
never left to those who love him. Number two: Salvation (saved) is a
verb, and not a noun. It shows action. To be saved in a life in which
we live is to be in perpetual movement toward salvation, and it’s like
the pot at the end of the rainbow…it is rarely reached. Number three:
most people throw of one form of fundamentalism for another.

In the words of Issac Newton: the great mistake has been to read books
such as revelation and associate the happenings to present day happenings
making the interpreters revelators themselves. Nothing could be further
from the truth. The Holy Scripture is to be interpreted figuratively,
and the “end of times” is every split second of our lives.

Sincerely

Stephen

Your reason for your opinion is a new one for me I will think on it for a long while. I belong to the B.B.F. I. which is a group dedicated to using martial arts to promote Christ to the tough guys who usually are not reached by most christians. As I am a retired correctional sergeant, I saw this work in the prisons where I worked. God bless…ralph

Dear Jack,

As near as I can tell, you are on the right scriptural track. Keep preaching
that Jesus is the almighty creator who took on a human body to die for the
sins of those who have faith and trust fully in him.

You’re right: “The time draweth near,” …and we can look forward to the 2nd
Coming of Jesus.

Blessings in Him, – Pastor R. Totten

Hello Jack,

Oh I remember you now! Jesus is coming, but the Anti-Christ is coming even sooner to put an end to this system of things and to inaugurate the Age of Satan which will last 1,000 years. Good thing will we not be around to witness the terrible things that will happen then!

Take Care and God Bless,
Gabrielle

Hi,
Thank you for telling me about your book. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior in July 1971. One of the things that I’ve learned over the years is that people aren’t what they think they are. I think we may surprised when we die and we find out who the real belivers are and aren’t. I disagree with almost everything you say except that Jesus Christ is Lord and sin is rampant. I don’t even worry about the prophecy. Hey, if God’s in control NOTHING will change His perfect plan!

Please don’t bother me again with your sales pitch.

Thanks.

Bill

I too think that the time is near and I wish to see my Jesus face to face. There is so much turmoil in the world today.

Yes, the end times are drawing near and I believe we will be seeing signs, wonders and all kinds of miracles, revival across the land. There are going to be great healings, physically and mentally. God is going to release a power of His presence that no one has ever experienced. Get in the river and swim.
Blessings,

Em

I wasnt impressed with anything you sent me.
I think before sending anything out to someone, you should first
find out what their religious affliation if any is, and please
don’t send this to me again.
Thank you
————————————————–
Dear Friend,
I don’t need such Gospel. I don’t fear things are comming soon.
Everyone can belive, what he will.


I tried to read your ravings, but it didn’t make any sense to me. You
really lost me with the bit about the Russian anti-Christ type guy. Where
did you get that nonsense?

You can delete me from future mailings. I’m a Russian Orthodox Christian

————————————————–
thank you for the mail, i agree with most of what you have said however i must say you dont understand some things about the kingdom now people.They look at the battle as a spiritual battle not a physical one….. And i think allot of them dont even understand the rapture they are more of pan believers ,, as it will all pan out….

Dear Jack:

I, too, am somewhat perplexed at all the senseless killings, from all sides.
Are tomorrow’s terrorists the children in the Afghan villages destroyed by
US bombs? Or will they be the survivors of famine in Africa. Or those
left behind in the former Soviet Republics? Or those denied an existence
in Central and South America? Or a billion or so Indians exploited by
their own government and globalization.

One part of me knows that without religion, no one would force their
beliefs on another by use of brutal killings (e.g. the Crusades & various
Holy Wars). I see, historically, the various claims to the region formerly
known as Palestine (Israel & Trans-Jordan, later Jordan) being claimed by
various factions, for as long as time has ben recorded. Just who was it that
was there before it was “given” to the wandering Hebrews? Surely, we can
all read the book of Joshua and see accounts of real terrorism.

What’s with the Brits? They just cannot divide real estate worth a damn.
Look at Israel. Look at Afghanistan. Look at India and Pakistan. When will
the world powers understand that drawing arbitrary lines on a map does
not make friends out of the tribes?

I do believe with all my heart, all my soul, and all my mind that we are ALL
the children of God. That life is created by God, the God of Abraham, the
God of Isaac, The God of Jacob, and yes, the God of Ishmael, too. After
the legends of Adam and Eve, man is on this earth to destroy it, one human
at a time.

I also know that it is my country, the greatest on Earth, that is the only
one to have used a nuclear device to evaporate hundreds of thousands of
innocent men, women and children – twice. My country justified slavery. My
country did not let women have rights until the 1920’s. Thirty-nine percent
of those eligible to vote in my country did, on November 5, 2002. Yet we
are willing to spend billions of dollars changing the regimes of other nations.

It’s about oil. It’s about might making right. It’s about being the world’s
biggest bully. It’s about destroying coca plants in Latin America, for the
journalists, but not doing the same in Afghanistan. It’s about using religion
as a justification for humans killing humans. It’s about favors for military
contractors. It’s about the Pope covering the most heinous of crimes. (I am
a Catholic)

I’ll see you, and everybody else that God loves, in heaven, soon. I’m ready.
Are you?

Dear Jack,
Much of what you say has merit. When you talk about it getting worse before it gets better, that is where we part. The kingdom IS at hand. Today IS the New Day. The one True God is the only power. Daily we call to our Beloved Lord to send his Legions of Angels to erase all terrorism and all error. We call for Archangel Michael and His Legions to send bolts of Blue lightning into the cause and core of all the evil and error on this planet. Much of that is the mental preoccupations of a large body of people magnifying the evil. Keep your eyes stayed on Him and His Kingdom, so it may manifest in your reality! Surely the Presence of the Lord is all that is REAL.
In His Service,
Rev.Beverly

Jack
the word bless means empowered to prosper, and is a
covenant word from the word blood, thus God’s Blood
Covenant with Israel.

Jesus declared “the Kingdon is at hand”

Jesus spoken in a metaphor when He spoke in Matthew
about the Kingdom from Heaven.

Just because the King is not here, i.e. seated with my
Father on His throne, this is still His Kingdom of
which I am joint heir with Jesus.

Matthew 24 verses 7&8 were fulfilled on 9/11/01, which
began the “birth contractions” of the tribulation which
will come shortly followed by the Great Tribulation by
Jesus.

Jack if you start right by rightly dividing the Word,
you will com to the right conclusion about what you
write about.

In the love of Jesus.
Don

JACK,
I DO BELIEVE ALL THAT WAS SAID IN THE ARTICLE THAT YOU SENT TO ME TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION..
WE NEED TO GO OUT INTO THIS WORLD AND CARE ABOUT THE LOST THAT ARE LOST INLESS THEY TURN TO THE LORD….I PRAY THAT I AM ABLE TO LEAD WHOMEVER THE LORD SENDS MY WAY…HE IS IN CONTROL AND I PRAY HE IS IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF MY LIFE THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS GOD BLESS YOU BEV
————————————————-

Jack, you’re a mess.

1) The “great apostle Paul” whom you quote IS THE
ANTI-CHRIST!

2) Jesus’ death on the cross does NOT save us from
our sins. Only repenting of our sins and believing
Him / the Gospel saves us from our sins. Believing
Him includes OBEYING HIM because He does not reveal
the true meanings of much of His Doctrine unless and
until we obey those of His instruction that we do
understand.

3) The only people who can be included as being
among those who are also responsible for crucifying
Jesus are those people who continue to slaughter His
Doctrine, misrepresent Him, pretend to have gained
salvation when they have not, etc.

4) The two prophets in Revelation 11.5 are not both
Jews! One of the two is a Gentile (me), but both are
children of IsReal — people to whom God Is Real.

5) Your portrayal of Islamic hordes led by Russia
invading and overrunning Israel is bizarre false
prophecy. Islamic barbarians have already invaded
Israel, and do not need the Russians to carry out
their acts of terrorism. In turn, Israeli barbarian
hordes react with the same hideous acts of terrorism,
and both Jews and Muslims alike make complete asses
out of themselves. America (a phonetic anagram of
Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus) is the
physical Promised Land foretold by God in the
scriptures of the Old Testament.

Hello again Jack,

Brother in Christ !

thanks for the previous postings – deeply moved by your continued presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are on the same page really. Just minor differences in interpretations – nothing to quibble over.

The Lord instructed today to send you above attachment. Thought you might be interested in the Babylonian foundations and the Lords redeeming of such. Glorious Lord. Jack, am just in awe of His beauty. We have such a loving Lord. Yes justice and wrath. Yes all of that. Both cups – blessing and wrath. His love is in both.

May blessings abound to you brother
and may your message bear much fruit
for the precious Kingdom of God,
who was, and is and is to come. Amen.


………Ann

you are so deceived. Please stop sending me this stuff!
————————————————-

Mr. Hook,

Your note was interesting. I do believe the end day is now and I am looking forward to going home to be with my Lord, Jesus Christ. However, I do have one question about your messages: Where in the Bible does it say that the antichrist will be an American? (Rev. 13?) It is not for us to know the will of God until he reveals it to us. It doesn’t even matter who the antichrist will be because I will not be here during the reign of the antichrist. All in all, God’s plan will come to fruition no matter what we do, say or believe.

————————————————-

BLESS GOD!!! I HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU ARE, BUT THIS IS SOME INTERSTEING READING. I AM A BELIEVER, BUT I MUST SAY WHEN I FIRST READ THE TOPIC, I ASKED MYSELF, ‘WHO IS THIS JOKER!, “BLESSED ARE THE DEAD?!!!!!”. BUT AFTER READING IT FURTHER I SAW WHERE THAT IS PART OF A SCRIPTURE VERSE.

I USUALLY DELETE UNKNOWN NAMES RIGHT AWAY. THANKS YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING.
————————————————-

Thanks Jack
very good email, I like it very much, can you say more about the pope – bush connection?
Regards
Georges

Jack, the antichrist will hate the whore Babylon (aka America). Yes, Islam is the devil’s lie, that’s true. But Muslims are fellow human beings in need of the Saviour, and demonising them in order to fight an altogether insane war serves neither truth nor Christ’s love. One last thing, the Catholic Church will stand AGAINST the antichrist and his forces—the very last thing the Church wants to see is the embracing of some watery, politically correct “religion” which serves the antichrist. Babylon began her fall on 11 Sept., 2001. That one day brought into play a crushing mechanism, forces which have, in a year’s time, left the nation morally depraved in every way.Now the bloodlust makes no apologies, heeds no warnings, brooks no opposition. “Her sins have reached to the heavens”, and God’s hand is raised against her.

Dear Sir:
It is so good to read your articles, and I am still reading. But we do
know that so many people are void of understanding. The word does say If my
people who are called by my name will humble themselves,pray,seek my faith
and turn from their wicked ways, then they would here from Heaven and I will
heal the land. An understanding half to come to know that we wrestle not
against flesh and God Bless You Sir

————————————————-

Thanks Jack.
Please remove me from your email list. While I agree with you on salvation and the general eschatological grid, I am not as sympathetic to the total confidence you have in your specific interpretations and applications of future events.

E.g. Will the Army of the North be Russia? Or Kahzakstan or the Ukrane?
E.g. Do ALL who believe Iraq is in violation of treaties and want to intervene to disarm him, find their motivation in blind patriotism and a desire to get a treatie and then to wipe out Israel? or might some rather want to protect Israel?
E.g. The American Anti-Christ ? or could it be a Roman Empire Anti-Christ in Europe?
E.g. And his friend the Pope? Does it have to be this sickly elderly Pope? Doesn’t the Pope oppose the intervention in Iraq? Could it be another newage type Pope (fond of abortion and porn and homosexuality for instance) with more charisma than this one?

Your testimony and gospel sharing was great. Mixing it with specific, personal, prophetic speculations (like the Gulf War, Kissinger, Hitler and others before your specifics herein) they frankly undermines the timeless and true gospel and the power of your witness. I just mention it because sometimes when I’m on a rant with email, I can do the same thing. Brother, be zealous AND be wise. Joe

Jack things are getting worse, if America goes to war with Irag I can’t imagine the wrath that will occur to America after that. And the churches have their heads in the sand. Preaching peace, peace and we know that we are living in terrible times. Most preachers are teaching pre-tribulational rapture, which is false. Most churches are not preaching the cross life, that we must die daily, take up our cross and follow christ. Most, our preaching health and wealth and everything will be roses if you do this or do that. The bible never teaches that we would not go through trials and tribulations in this world, the bible teaches just the opposite that we would suffer in this life. I look for His coming and l look for the time when I will be home with my heavenly father. My God bless and keep your ministry .

————————————————-

You mean “Blessed are the Dead who die in Christ.”

————————————————-
By the way, I must tell you I have had many visions of a Nuclear Explosion over the City of New York. These visions started when I was very young (about 16) more than 10 years ago, long before the terrorist attacks. If you know anyone living in New York city, I strongly recommend they move as far away as possible.

God Bless You,
Gabrielle

Best post yet, well said my friend, picture is so clear.
————————————————-

Dear Jack,
What proof do you have the presidency will be issuing a mark? Is that in
scripture?
————————————————-

hello .I read your letter to the end ,its very interesting .thanks. I was wanting to ask you who you think the antichrist is ? some say Bush ,some say clinton .some say that the former leader of Russia because they call him the man with the iron teeth and his friend the pope .I dont know but used to think it had to be a jew or he wouldnt be able to make them believe he is their messiah . we see things coming to pass every day now and we know the coming of Jesus cant be far off .if we are saved we know that our Lord and Saviour will take care of us ,and you are right He never changes

————————————————-

Dear Jack,

Great article as ususal. Your facination with the antichrist and the false prophet being the American President and “his friend the Pope” has NO biblical basis. Why you keep repeating this as a fact is beyond me. It degrades the rest of your message. It also conflicts with your claim that Islamic nations will bring forth a “leader” that will make a covenant with Israel. Perhaps you believe that America will become Islamic. Also, Jack, you never respond to my email replies. Why is that? Are you afraid that you can not produce scripture to back your claims that the antichrist will be the American President? Let’s see the scriptural prooftext for your claims, Jack. Otherwise, take me off your email address list

————————————————-

Jack,

< and then long for his return to give us immortal
bodies that will never taste of sin and death again! >

That’s a good idea.

Good wishes,
Michael
————————————————-

JACK:

There is not even a first chance, let alone a second chance.

Absolutely everyone will be saved, and they will be saved exactly when God wants them to be.

Everyone who enters the second death, which is the lake of fire, will be saved out of it.
Jack,

Good news! Jesus has returned already….the Spirit of
Christ can now be seen in the eyes of those with
child-like faith & in the actions of compassionate
people. Let’s never forget that Love is always
present….here & now.

All my best,
Michael

————————————————-

You made the particular quote;

“All of us are going to live forever. Whether you spend eternity with Jesus Christ in Heaven or with the American Antichrist and the Pope in the Lake of Fire is your choice. “

In so stating, you go against the very Word of God which you profess to proclaim, in which evelasting life is granted to only those who choose to place their belief in Jesus Christ (John 3:16), in comparison to those who perish (die) should they not so choose.

Please take your harangues elsewhere, since you are doing nothing more than Satan did as the serpent in the garden of Eden, where he told Eve “Thou shalt not surely die”, in your allegation that the wicked will indeed live forever, as will the righteous.

The fire in the lake of fire must eventually self-extinguish as all combustibles within it are consumed, in order for the words of Malachi 4 to take place, in particular “ye shall tread down the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet”.

all i can say brother jack is AMEN AND AMEN

where christians tolorate false doctrines and false teachers ,they make god to there own purpose

the bible is a guide for us to eeat of the word to grow in spirit
and mature to mature christians

god bless you my brother

in christ jeff
————————————————-

Good letter Jack, This stands the test of being biblically
accurate. I know that I am beginning to resent Islam,terrorism
and false Christians. The hardest part is not to want to
phsically war or harm these enimies. But you are right, Jesus
stopped I believe it was Peter, when the soldiers came to
arrest him. This is compassion that is heavenly and goes against our natural and sinful human desires. I keep praying
that through God’s grace, I will learn the patience of the
saints. Please keep the emails coming.

Best Regards
Lyndon

hello , my friend and thank you for sharing your heart ……… this is very well put……. we need to pray hard for the lost to get with Jesus ……..eternity will be a long time…. God bless you
————————————————-

I AM SOME WHAT DISTRUBED BY SOME OF YOUE REASONING. JESUS SAID TO RENDER UNTO CEASAR WHAT BELONGS TO CEASAR AND TO GOD WHAT BELONGS TO GOD. WHEN YOUR GOVERNMENT REQUIRES YOUR MILITARY SERVICE I BELIEVE YOU CAN GO AND BE BLESSED BY GOD. ALSO JEUS SAID, I COME TO FULFILL TE THE LAW NOT TO DO AWAY WITH IT, AND THERE WERE TIMES THAT GOD COMMANDED HIS PEOPLE TO FEET. JEUIS CAME IN PEACE, BUT HE ALSO SAID THAT HE CAME WITH A TWO EDGED SWORD, I DONT THINK TELLING YOUNG MEN IN THE MILITARY THAT THEY ARE SINING FOR THEIR SERVICE YOU CAN BE VERY DESTRUCTIVE. THERE ARE MANY GOOD CHRISTAN MEN IN THE SERVICE. WE HAVE BEEN CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS.,, AND THE WORD OF THE LORD ALSO SAID, THAT THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST YOU, HOW DO YOU STORM THE GATES OF HELL WITH OUT A BATTLE ENSUING. RE THINK, PRAY FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING. GOD BLESS SANDY
————————————————-

YOU SHOULD STUDY WICCA OR SATIN WORSHIPING THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER
PLACE. I DO STUDY WICCIAN WE BLEIVE IN PEACE
NOT WAR IN THE NANE OF SOME DUMB GOD
————————————————-

Keep on trucking Jack. It’s coming whether they believe it or not.
————————————————-

Please remove me from your address book. I am not interested in receiving your mail.

Half truth is far worse than no truth. It is that which deceives according to what our Lord teaches in Matthew 24; Mark 13; and Luke 21:

I am not being mean spirited by this request, I just don’t want/need deception of any kind.

Thank you! T. Mack

P.S. Jack I assume your motives are good, but good motives don’t overcome non-rightly divided teachings.

Religious “traditions of men” are still making the Word of God of no effect.
————————————————-

Dear Jack:

Thank you for the excellent essay, “Babylon the Great is Falling.”

I must sadly agree with all that you say.

May I invite you to post your essay at my website at:

www.home.earthlink.net/~weholdthesetruth

You may wish to considre posting it on the guest book, as well as the
message board, as my messge board has a great turnover. However, my guest
book seems to offer a more permanent opportunity to post your comments.

Keep up the good work you are doing for GOD. We can only be but Soldiers of
The Cross in these terrible days.

In JESUS,

Bob
