Psm. 24:3. Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place? 4. He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully. (Here it said that those who have not believed falsehood and have clean hands and a pure heart are the ones who shall ascend into the holy hill of God. So you had better be clean and know truth. So those of us who try to show you the way of cleanness and truth are in the battle of the Lord.) 5. He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6. This is the generation of them that seek after him, That seek thy face, even Jacob. Selah 7. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in. 8. Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle. These gates are the ones who teach the truth which the Apostles taught. See here that the LORD is mighty in battle. So how can one say we must not war? There must be war till Satan is cast into the lake of fire. Wherever Satan and the children of God exist together, there must be war. If you do not war with him, you join sides with him. If you can be at peace with him and his lies, then you are on his side. Psm. 78:8. And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that set not their heart aright, And whose spirit was not stedfast with God. 9. The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle. 10. They kept not the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law; 11. And they forgat his doings, And his wondrous works that he had showed them. See that these were rebellious, as were their fathers. The forgot the works of God during the days of the Apostles. This is prophecy or types of this. See that they were armed and carrying bows but they turned back in the day of battle. The reason they turned back and could not battle is because they had forgotten His mighty doings and his wondrous works he had shown them in the days of the Apostles. That is why you today cannot battle and do not want battle; you have forgotten the mighty works of God in the first church. You deny all the power. From such turn away. Should we battle with Babylon? Read on. Jer. 49:14. I have heard tidings from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle. This is prophecy of when we will destroy this Babylon Church of our day. We must rise up to the battle and tear down her walls so the spiritual true walls of New Jerusalem can be built again. Jer. 50:22. A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction. 23. How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations! This is prophecy all through these last chapters of Jeremiah of the destruction of this Babylon Church of our day. Read the whole chapters if you desire truth. Only the truth can set you free and give you peace in your soul. Those of us who are now in the battle against her sins and lies are the ones who have heard the true voice of God in his Holy Word. We heard the call to battle and we rose up and went to war. There must be war. 42. They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon. 43. The king of Babylon hath heard the tidings of them, and his hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail. 44. Behold, the enemy shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? And who will appoint me a time? And who is the shepherd that can stand before me? [See here I told you we must have the spirit of the lion to be in the LORD’S army. This says that the people in this battle come up as lions against Babylon. That is the lion face on the living creature = the Christians.] 45. Therefore hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall drag them out; surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them. 46. At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth trembleth, and the cry is heard among the nations. See here that this battle against Babylon is worldwide? It is heard among the nations. Jeremiah 51:1. Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in Leb-kamai, a destroying wind. 2. And I will send unto Babylon strangers, that shall winnow her; and they shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about. (These strangers who go against Babylon are the true Christians at war with Satan.). 3. Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his coat of mail: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host. 4. And they shall fall down slain in the land of the Chaldeans, and thrust through in her streets. 5. For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah, of his God, of Jehovah of hosts; though their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel. 6. Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be not cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of Jehovah's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompense. Now you see here in verse 6, the same call which goes out in Revelation to flee or come out of Babylon. Why is it still repeated in Revelation if it is not at the end of time? This in Jeremiah is only prophecy for this time to come. 7. Babylon hath been a golden cup in Jehovah's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. The nations are mad on their idols. This is also in the Word. So it was Babylon which made her mad on her idols. These churches today are full of idol worship. They have their Santa clauses, their Easter bunnies, and all the other junk of the world. They are Babylon. They are the whore we are at war with. There must be war until the end. 8. Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: wail for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed. 9. We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country; for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies. See here again is the command from God to FORSAKE Babylon. 19. The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name. 20. Thou art my battle-axe and weapons of war: and with thee will I break in pieces the nations; and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; This tells that Jesus and his people are God’s battle-axe for this war against Babylon. With us he will destroy this entire kingdom of Satan. All churches, which partake of idols and refuse the Holy Ghost and Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins, are part of the Babylon kingdom. In Isaiah we are told that God sought for a man to stand in the gap and make up the hedge. Jesus was the one who did this. We his true followers also stand in the gap and make up the hedge. What is the hedge? It is the protection of God to his people. He sends his angels to stand and protect us. But he also sends his true ministers (the one preaching truth) to help protect you. So when you fight against the one who teach truth, you are fighting and warring against the army of God. Does God have an army? Sure he does. Read on. Joel 2:1. Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of Jehovah cometh, for it is nigh at hand; 2. A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the dawn spread upon the mountains; a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, even to the years of many generations. 3. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and none hath escaped them. 4. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so do they run. 5. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains do they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. 6. At their presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces are waxed pale. 7. They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like MEN OF WAR and they march every one on his ways, and they break not their ranks. Now read the rest of this chapter. It tells of how the army of God, the second anointed witness, will destroy this kingdom of Babylon. We are at war with her. See that it said we blow the trumpet? That is what we started this message with, the people of God sounding the trumpet to show them their sins. Without this, there is only destruction for you. Come out of Babylon lest you be partakers of her plagues. Obadiah 1:1. The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle. This is also prophesy against Babylon. Let us go against her in battle. There must be war till they are destroyed out of the earth. Is this thing of the trumpet and war in the New Testament? Sure it is. Read on: 1Cor. 14:8. For if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war? See here again the trumpet sounding and the people preparing themselves for WAR is connected together. We must sound out a clear, truthful message. This is the sounding of the trumpet. It is not a literal musical instrument; it is a message being sounded. This message MUST show the people what sin is. It must show them their sins and compel them to give up their sins, repent, believe the true gospel, be converted and obey the Apostles. Repent and be baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, then live a holy, overcoming life until the end of you life. This is the only true way of salvation. Unless you hear this trumpet message and obey it, destruction is headed your way by the mighty army of God. Yes God has a mighty army unto which he will very soon give the power and thunder out the command to go to battle against Babylon (whore church) and destroy everything which is connected with her. That is why you must come out of her and be not partakers of her sins, lest you also receive of her plagues, which are soon to come. We, the true ministers of God today, have already heard this call to go against her to battle. We are already sounding out that trumpet message to show you your sins. Unless you hear, heed it and obey, you will be destroyed with her. Rev. 9: 5. And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a man. 6. And in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it; and they shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them. 7. And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like unto gold, and their faces were as men's faces. 8. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as teeth of lions. 9. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to war. I would like to use this whole chapter, but it is too much. Read it. This is the army of God going out. We are those locusts and those horses rushing to war. It is the same as in Joel 2. This is the plagues coming upon Babylon. The witnesses of God bring it. We are an army of both men and women. That is why it shows us to have the face of a man and hair like a woman. It shows both men and women in this mighty army of God. This is the same as Psm. 149. Read that chapter with this message. The saints of God will bring all the written judgments against Babylon, the whore church worshipping her idols of x-mas; green decorated trees, rabbits, eggs, new years watch night services, and all the rest of her mess. She is out there among the world selling everything from candy to cook books and chicken and anything else they can get their hands on. They even now have ball teams, go golfing to get money into their treasures and even hold yard sales. They are in open rebellion to the words of Jesus who said Make not my Father’s house a house of MERCHANDISE. How can you justify all this selling to get money for a ‘church�? It is not of God. It is of Satan. He is the father of lies and loves money. You are in rebellion to Jesus. I am sounding out that trumpet message right here in this message. You had better heed this warning. This came to me from Almighty God this morning. He put this message into my heart before I got up. I have not eaten today. It is now 1:30 pm. I have sat here all morning looking up Scriptures and writing this message to warn you to flee this Babylon mess. You will not hear. You will mock and scoff to your own destruction. Wow be to the ones who turn a deaf ear to this message. It is a message from God, not me. If you fail to listen and obey and believe the truth you will forever be cut off from God. If you hold to your churches lies, their parties, x-mess celebrations, their other sins, you will be destroyed with her in that day. This is the trumpet message going out. It is to show you your sins and give you a chance to repent. If you fail to repent, the sword is set to fall upon you and cut you to pieces and grind you to power and the wind of destruction will blow you away. Rev. 16: 13. And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs: 14. For they are spirits of devils, working signs; which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the Almighty. 15. (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walked naked, and they see his shame.) Now this evil spirit of Satan gathers all of Babylon together against the truth of God. They all go to war. Jesus comes as a thief right here. It is part of Joel 2. They come in at the windows as a thief. This is the people of God at war with Babylon. We are the coming of Jesus as a thief. It is not Jesus coming down in natural clouds and stealing away his bride as the whore church teaches. That is a foolish lie. It is just more of her poison. The army of God is the one who comes to you as a thief. It is Jesus Christ in us. Rev. 20: 7. And when the thousand years are finished, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8. And shall come forth to deceive the nations which are in the Four Corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9. And they went up over the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down out of heaven, and devoured them. 10. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night forever and ever. See after the 1,000 years reign of Christ on earth, the devil is again loosed and goes out to make war against the people of God. This proves that as long as Satan is alive anywhere there will be war. Light and darkness, truth and lies cannot agree. There must be war between the two until Satan is cast into the lake of fire. Then and only then will there be everlasting peace. Then war will be no more. But do not look for peace now. There must be war. Can you, will you go to battle on the Lord’s side? If not, you are at war on Satan’s side. Everyone is in one or the other army. We are all either on the Lord’s side or on Satan’s side. If you keep idol holidays or such things you are on Satan’s side. You are in his army, at war against the people of God who teach truth according to the WRITTEN WORD OF GOD.
