Current Events in the world marks the closing scenes of Earth's History

 A man with a St George flag umbrella walks among worshippers leaving the Woolwich Mosque after Friday prayers in Woolwich, southeast London

You can believe it or not, the events that have been making news in the past weeks months yrs all contribute to warnings God has been giving the church at large,the inhabitants of the earth and also those that professed to "keep the commandment of  God have the Testimony of Jesus Christ" Rev 12:17.We know the "Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy"  Rev 19:10.

These events making news are directly connected to greater events that shape policy,laws and decision in every nation but primarily in the leading nation of the earth.

We know from Bible that all history is under God's control, Nothing happens that He has not permit and also He is holding the Winds of strife preventing catastrophic events from occurring.
God has at his command Angels that excel in strength that hold evil angels at bay from influencing men,families,groups,society,governments,kings and rulers so that events can go thus far and no further.For it is God that set up Kings and take down kings. He tells the waves that beat  upon the shores this far and no further. Isa 40:17-26.

The brutal slaying in the UK of a soldier by individuals of  the Muslim following are but a piece in the bigger scheme of the end time puzzle.
We understand the Children of the East (Muslims) have a big role to play in causing the whole world to unite in principle and the leading nations in the world to unite in policy against them.

The bible says in about Ishmael of whom the whole nation of Islam originated Gen 16:12  And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

This the God of heaven says they the children of the east shall be and thus so it is. No human being can change this.  This is why Islam is now prominent in the news not only are they fulfilling their prophetic role here at the end of the world but their activity that is being restrained then loose marks the final events of this earths history.

Search the top bar for a study on Islam or the trumpets or the woes  and you will see Islam is in deed a marker of endtime troubles.  What we can be sure about is Muslims, Muslim nations will feature more and more prominently in the news.The angering of the nations will escalate. War will be on the increase, Old controversies will be revived even among other nations. All these will propel us to a great crisis.

I have not mention the financial crisis on the horizon that is mentioned in James 5 , not mention are the natural disasters that have escalated in intensity and frequency. Matt 24, Luke 21, Mark 13 speak of these things.

While this is happening the majority of us professed Christians grow more worldly, blinded, more sleepy as to what is really happening. 

And so a careless lezafair  attitude prevail among Christendom. Some people see Muslims as the enemy while the world powers united to one world governing body, and the denominations come together under one world church with the Catholic church at the head. The union of the churches of course has nothing to do with Biblical truth or correct doctrine but they would unite for the purpose of peace at the detriment of true Bible religion.Religion with compramise is no religion

Thus the Papacy has the perfect opportunity to be on the throne of the earth once more.The Apostle Paul predicted it under the influence of the Holy Spirit. he said 

2Th 2:3  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 

2Th 2:4  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 

Members of the English Defence League (EDL) wear balaclavas as they gather outside a pub in Woolwich in London on May 22, 2013 after a man believed to be a serving British soldier was brutally murdered nearby in what Prime Minister David Cameron said appeared to be a terrorist attack

Islam may appear to be a big problem, but the Papacy is the bigger problem ,Satan seeks to seat this church power on the throne of the earth and by this scheme He Lucifer will attempt to be King of the earth as he Impersonates the true King, the one who has been given kingship already ,the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. But the History of the Reformers will repeat. The Scripture attributed to them in Dan 11:33 will be attributed to another faithfull group here at the end of all things. It was said of them Dan 11:33  And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. 

And it will be said of Gods faithful as it is said in Dan 12:3  And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. 

Be not fool the real warning goes to the world about the King of the North the Papacy who seeks to rule the earth once again.  The Papacy does not change. Dan 11:44  But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. 

Its tome to make Christ your personal Savior and surrender all sins past to Him by confession,and to cease the life of pleasure,corruption and sin. 

Man was not made for hell's fire Hell's fire is designed for the Originator of Sin thus every person who sides with Him will be destroyed. The wages of sin is death. 

The wickedness of the heart of man, Sandy Cook shooting

What happened last Friday was devastating. The world is a dangerous place,the heart of man is growing cold and more wicked. Satan is lier and a wicked being. Only in God can we trust.

Title :The Last Crisis from the book  Testimonies to the Church volume 9 the same book that predicted the tragedy in New York 911.Written in 1909.

"We are living in the time of the end. The fast-fulfilling signs of the times declare that the coming of Christ is near at hand. The days in which we live are solemn and important. The Spirit of God is gradually but surely being withdrawn from the earth. Plagues and judgments are already falling upon the despisers of the grace of God. The calamities by land and sea, the unsettled state of society, the alarms of war, are portentous. They forecast approaching events of the greatest magnitude. – {9T 11.1} The agencies of evil are combining their forces and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis. Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones. – {9T 11.2} The condition of things in the world shows that troublous times are right upon us. The daily papers are full of indications of a terrible conflict in the near future. Bold robberies are of frequent occurrence. Strikes are common. Thefts and murders are committed on every hand. Men possessed of demons are taking the lives of men, women, and little children. Men have become infatuated with vice, and every species of evil prevails. – {9T 11.3}

A Great Crisis is ahead.Policies are being shape,infrastructure are being put in place, Human beings are being educated to receive collective decisions, The time is at hand.

The 19th-century child-preacher phenomenon in Sweden

History accurately records children under the Influence of the Holy Spirit in Sweden.
This event shows striking similarity to the day of Pentecost in the past and the time predicted for the future call the "latter rain"

Read this account of the event.

Two thousand years ago, children, compelled by the Spirit of God, waved palm branches in the temple courts and proclaimed Christ as the promised Son of David. During Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem and into its temple, the children continued to praise Him after the adults, fearing the priests and rulers, grew silent. When the jealous Pharisees demanded that Christ silence the children, He answered that their praise was in fulfillment of prophecy.d And just as God used children to proclaim Christ during the First Advent, did He also use them to proclaim the message of the Second Advent?

The 19th-century child-preacher phenomenon was reported as first occurring at the parish church of Hjelmseryd, Sweden. There, in December 1841, four young peasant girls announced that the end of the world was approaching and that all must repent and prepare to meet God. Almost simultaneously, a large number of "prophetesses of ten to twelve years of age" appeared in adjoining parishes.14 And in the village of Hornborga, six boys from eight to 18 years of age were led to give the same message of warning. Reports of these child preachers permeated the Swedish press for several years.15

The children were sometimes called "repentance criers." Some said that they were afflicted by the disease of "preaching sickness," and authorities tried to isolate the children lest the "disease" be "contagious and the epidemic spread to other children." Some were punished severely. Those affected seemed to be normal except when moved by an unseen power to call for repentance. Thousands thronged to hear their stirring messages. On February 6 and 7, 1842, one peasant girl preacher was visited by 3,000 to 4,000 people.16

Many who listened to these messages were prompted to denounce sin. Within two weeks of hearing the call for repentance, 70 distillers closed their businesses.17

In 1843 Dr. Sven Erik Skoldberg (government medical officer for the province of Jonkoping from 1834 to 1864 and later medical director of the famous Serafimer Hospital in Stockholm) published a scientific report on the phenomenon. According to Dr. Skoldberg, the children "opposed all immoral life, drunkenness, dancing, and all kinds of vices, and asked people to judge themselves in the light of the Ten Commandments. The voices claimed that they were not preachers, but that they were sent by the Lord to call people to repentance, and that no one, not even the angels, knows the exact time of the day of judgment.

"The calls to repentance which I heard were so pure that no one,É Bible in hand, could criticize them, much less say they were heresy.''18

One of the evidences that a person is under the special control of the Spirit of God and is being used as His spokesman is that on some occasions he may not breathe. The Bible prophet Daniel did not breathe when he was "in vision."e Nor did these child preachers breathe when they preached, according to Dr. Skoldberg's observations, though he could scarcely believe what he saw. He said, "Breath cannot be observed, although they doubtless must breathe." He challenged the greatest theologians and doctors to explain the phenomenon by natural means; he himself had originally "had a prejudice, an abhorrence for all these voices and considered them heretical and fanatical spirits...." But he was finally "convinced that not a single word . . . is dependent on their own choosing--for then the message gushes from their breast like a bubbling spring--I repent of all my harsh opinions and stand in amazement.

Commandment keepers

I am proud to be a commandment (all 10 of them) keeping Christians.
I do not have to skip and jump to all logical excuses when am ask about the 7th day Sabbath.

• God Created it after creating man in Eden.
• He set the 4th command in the middle of Decalogue separating Love for God and love for mankind in the 10 commands.
• No other Commandment says REMEMBER ! except the 4th,therefore i shall not forget
  
• He admonished the Rebellious bunch in Exodus experience to obey IT.
• Hebrews 4:11 points the the Eternal rest we will experience if we Keep the example or memorial of that anticipated rest that is holding the 7th day solemn.
  
• God Even mention in end time when the Conflict is over identifying a group by saying :Here are the patience of the saints (Those who waited and endured),Here are they that keep my commandments and have the faith of Jesus Christ. Revelation 14:12..

The Holy spirit will fall on men in the last days even Children will prophesy

weekly Cycle observed by Scientists, Historians and Astronomers

Historians have amassed an immense record of human events going back thousands of years. Those records tell us of people keeping the seventh day holy far back in recorded history.

Astronomers have kept an accurate record of time. And theirs is one of the most accurate that you will find anywhere.

They tell us that if all records of time should suddenly be lost, the astronomers could rediscover time from the mathematics of the stars in their motions. God put the stars in the heavens "for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years." Genesis 1:14.

Statements by eminent scientists, historians and astronomers:

"One of the most striking collateral confirmations of the Mosaic history of the creation is the general adoption of the division of time into weeks, which extends from the Christian states of Europe to the remote shores of Hindustan, and has equally prevailed among the Hebrews, Egyptians, Chinese, Greeks, Romans, and northern Barbarians, --nations some of whom had little or no communication with others, and were not even known by name to the Hebrews." --Horne's Introduction, Volum1, page 69

In the official League of Nations "Report on the Reform of the Calendar," published at Geneva, August 17, 1926, are the following representative statements by noted astronomers:

"The week has been followed for thousands of years and therefore has been hallowed by immemorial use." --Anders Donner, "The Report," p. 51. [Donner had been a professor of Astronomy at the University of Helsingfors.]

"I have always hesitated to suggest breaking the continuity of the week, which without a doubt is the most ancient scientific institution bequeathed to us by antiquity." --Edouard Baillaud, "The Report, p. 52. [Baillaud was Director of the Pris Observatory.]

"The week is a period of seven days.. It has been employed from time immemorial in almost all Eastern countries." --The Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th edition, Volume 4, p. 988, article, "Calendar."

"As to Question (1)--I can only state that in connection with the proposed simplification of the calendar, we have had occasion to investigate the results of the works of specialists in chronology and we have never found one of them that has ever had the slightest doubt the continuity of the weekly cycle since long before the Christian era.

"As to Question (2) --There has been no change in our calendar in past centuries that has affected in any way the cycle of the week." --James Robertson, personal letter, dated March 12, 1932. [Dr. Robertson was Director of the American Ephemeris, Navy Department, U.S. Naval Observatory, Washington, D.C.]

"As far as I know, in the various changes of the Calendar there has been no change in the seven day rota of the week, which has come down from very early times." --F.W. Dyson, Personal letter, dated March 4, 1932. [Dr. Dyson was Astronomer Royal, Royal Observatory, Greenwich, London.]

"Some of these (the Jews and also many Christians) accept the week as of divine institution, with which it is unlawful to tamper; others, without these scruples, still feel that it is useful to maintain a time-unit that, unlike all others, has proceeded in an absolutely invariable manner since what may be called the dawn of history." --Our Astronomical Column," Nature, London, number 127, June 6, 1931, p. 869

"The week of seven days has been in use ever since the days of the Mosaic dispensation, and we have no reason for supposing that any irregularities have existed in the succession of weeks and their days from that time to the present." --Dr. W.W. Campbell, Statement. [Dr. Campbell was Director of Lick Observatory, Mt. Hamilton, California.]

"For more than 3,000 years science has gone backward, and with profound research, reveals the fact that in that vast period the length of the day has not changed by the hundredth part of a single second of time." --General O.M. Mitchell, Astronomy of the Bible, p. 235

"By calculating the eclipses, it can be proven that no time has been lost and that the creation days were seven, divided into twenty-four hours each." --Dr. Hinckley, The Watchman, July, 1926. [Dr. Hinckley was a well-known astronmer of half a century ago.]

"In spite of all of our dickerings with the calendar, it is patent that the human race never lost the septenary [seven-day] sequence of week days and that the Sabbath of these latter times comes down to us from Adam, through the ages, without a single lapse." --Dr. Totten, Statement. [Dr. Totten of New Haven, Connecticut, was Professor of Astronomy at Yale University when this statement was made.]

"The continuity of the week has crossed the centuries and all known calendars, still intact." --Professor D. Eginitis, Statement. [Dr. eginitis was Director of the Observatory of Athens, Greecew.]

"It is a strange fact that even today there is a great deal of confusion concerning the question of so-called 'lost time.' Alterations that have been made to the calendar in the past have left the impression that time has actually been lost. In point of fact, of course, these adjustments were made to bring the calendar into closer agreement with the natural [solar] year. Now, unfortunately, this supposed 'lost time' is still being used to throw doubt upon the unbroken cycle of the Seventh-day Sabbath that God inaugurated at the Creation. I am glad I can add the witness of my scientific training to the irrevocable nature of the weekly cycle.

"Having been time computer at Greenwich [England Observatory] for many years, I can testify that all our days are in God's absolute control--relentlessly measured by the daily rotation of the earth on its axis. This daily period of rotation does not vary one-thousandth part of a second in thousands of years. Also, the year is a very definite number of days. Consequently, it can be said that not a day has been lost since Creation, and all the calendar changes notwithstanding, there has been no break in the weekly cycle." --Frank Jeffries, Statement. [Dr. Jeffries was Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, and Research Director of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, England.]

We conclude this study with an interesting historical analysis published by the Presbyterian Church:

"The division of time into weeks is a singular measure of time by periods of seven days that may be traced not only through the sacred history before the era of Moses, but in all ancient civilizations of every era, many of which could not possibly have derived their notion from Moses.. Among the learned of Egypt, the Brahmans of India, by Arabs, by Assyrians, as may be gathered from their astronomers and priests, this division was recognized. Hesiod (900 B.C.) declares the seventh day is holy. And so also Homer and Callimachus. Even in the Saxon mythology, the division by weeks is prominent. Nay, even among the tribes of primitive worshipers in Africa, we are told that a peculiar feature of their religion is a weekly sacred day, the violation of which by labor will incur the wrath of their god. Traces of a similar division of time have been noticed among the Indians of the American continent.

"Now, on what other theory are these facts explicable than upon the supposition of a divinely ordained Sabbath at the origin of the race?"

This is incredible chart over a100 years old
This Chart of the Week is over a hundred years old. It was prepared by Dr. William Meade Jones, a research expert in London, England. Well over a hundred languages prove that the week, everywhere, has seven days;—and that, in most languages, the native word for the seventh day is "Sabbath" (which means "rest" or "rest day") or "rest day."

Dr. William Meade Jones lived over a hundred years ago, and was a well-known London, England, research expert. He discovered in his studies that the Seventh-day Sabbath was the only weekly Sabbath ever commanded by God in the Bible.

The CHART OF THE WEEK, is over a hundred years old. It is extremely valuable and almost impossible to find today. click here for the chart.

By what law would we be Judged

Its time to take off the gloves,I realize that during this period of uncertainty people all over the world are turning to bibles,prophecies and religions for answers,guidance and a sence of hope. Its is during this period when many are seeking the truth about the end times and are likely to turn their lives around;it is this time that satan the devil,the old serpent is turning up his volumes of lies. There is a proliferation of teachers,self proclaimed prophets,healers,workers of wonders,teachers all over the world.

This was predicted in the Bible first and and again by a bible tested true prophet of God the 1800s.

But Remember Isaiah 8:20 .Many false prophet will come with soothing words,but the bible says in you can tell the genuine from the false.

Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

There are those who will be deceived because it is inconvenient to them to follow the truth.

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

If sin is the transgression of the law then when one is saved by the gift of God, his grace the gift .What prevents us from breaking that law again.It is the power of the saving grace in our lives that now assist us to live conquering sinfulness daily.The power that saves has the power to keep us from falling. You cannot have one and deny the other.So what do we measure sin against.What law does Christ saving grace prevents us from breaking by our relationship with him.There must be some law.

If you believe there is a Judgment ,then what are you judge against.When one goes to trial in an earthly court you are judged against breaking some law.That is the reason you are in court int he first place.All will be Judged against a law.Despite if you believe the law -the ten commandment has bee done away with.

Ex 20:1-17

1 And God spoke all these words, saying:

2 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 "You shall have no other gods before Me.

4 "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

7 "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

12 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you.

13 "You shall not murder.

14 "You shall not commit adultery.

15 "You shall not steal.

16 "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."

What Does the New Testament Say About the Ten Commandments??

1 John 3:3-6 (NIV)

3 Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure. 4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that He appeared so that He might take away our sins. And in Him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen Him or known Him.

Matthew 5:19

9 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Romans 7:7 - 8:14 (NIV)

7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "Do not covet." 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from law, sin is dead. 9 Once I was alive apart from law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death.

12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good. 13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! But in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful. 14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. {18 Or my flesh} For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do-- this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

21 So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God's law; 23 but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25 Thanks be to God-- through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

NIV Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, {1 Some later manuscripts add: Jesus, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit,} 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, 4 in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit. 5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; 7 the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. 8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God. 9 You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. {10 Or because you have been made right with God (justified).}

11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you. 12 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation-- but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. 13 For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, 14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Romans 13:9-10 (NLT)

9 For the commandments against adultery and murder and stealing and coveting—and any other commandment—are all summed up in this one commandment: "Love your neighbor as yourself." 10 Love does no wrong to anyone, so love satisfies all of God's requirements.

Ephesians 6:1-3

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise: 3 "that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."

1 Corinthians 7:19

19 For it makes no difference whether or not a man has been circumcised. The important thing is to keep God's commandments.

John 15:10

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

1 John 2:1-4

1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1 John 3:22-24

22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

1 John 5:2-3

2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

If You so desire listen to what will happen when every one will be searching for answers in the end times ,This was written in 1858. chapter "32 The Scriptures, a Safeguard"

Two laws in the Bible ?

2 Timothy 4:3-4 “the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”


I have been looking at Galatians 3:24 and the whole Galatians, in fact I am getting the impressions that the Greeks in Galatia whom the apostle Paul wrote to was obsessed about traditions, particularly the old ordinances spoken of in Galatians 3:24 & Col2:14- 17. Some how they believe that these Jewish rituals could save them .These two pieces or scripture above are mostly abused and misused by many to suggest that we are no longer under the Moral Code the 10 commandment law . Well I agree and disagree at the same time.Let me clear it up by asking the question. WHAT LAW?

Now that I have you thinking you are probably asking was there more than one law given to Moses. Lets analyze the facts from the Bible of course

law number one
Deuteronomy 31:24-26

²⁴And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,²⁵That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,²⁶Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.

Col 2:14-17

¹⁴Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;¹⁵And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made ¹⁶Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:¹⁷Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Note the Scripture above talks about hand writing, also note the law is against us.Note also the law was written in a book (scroll in those times) and was place in the side of the Ark of the covenant.

Law number two
Deuteronomy 10:1-5
¹At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. ²And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark. ³And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand. ⁴And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me. ⁵And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me.

Exodus 31:18
¹⁸And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

In the two scripture immediate above notice what the law was written upon.It was written upon tables of stone. God wrote with his own fingers Exodus 31:18 (what else could write on stone ?).Notice where it was placed ,It was placed in the Ark, not in the side of the Ark which is another location.

To highlight the differences between the The law God Himself wrote as oppose to the law Moses wrote which was dictated by God to him.lets look at the table below.

Moses Law	Gods 10 commandment
Moses wrote from Gods dictation	God Wrote Himself then gave Moses
Moses wrote with hand and	God wrote with His Finger
Moses wrote in a book/scroll	God wrote on Tables of Stone
It was put in the side of Ark	It was place inside the Ark

There is no doubt that Col 2:14-17 ,Galatians 4:10, and all of chapter 3 is talking about the law of Moses the ceremonial laws not Gods 10 Commandments. If in doubt lets look further in detail what is this ceremonial law.

Leviticus 23:4-5 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their seasons. 5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S Passover.

This part of the ceremonial law was a shadow of Jesus crucifixion and is called “Passover or Pesach.” These and all the following verses in Leviticus chapter 23 are NOT part of God’s eternal Ten Commandment law of love. As verse four says, “these are the many feasts of the Lord” that are not a law of love and were temporary as they represented the work that Christ would do at the cross through His death and resurrection. Love however is not temporary and will never be nailed to any cross.

The type was the Passover in Egypt where the blood of the lamb was smeared on the door posts. Jesus and the disciples ate the Passover meal (Matthew 26:18-20) of unleavened bread and wine in the early hours of this day (Exodus 12:18), which would have been our Thursday evening (the biblical day begins and ends at sunset). Jesus was crucified the afternoon of the 14th (Friday) at the time the Paschal lambs were being slain (Exodus 12:6). Passover is a shadow or type of the sacrifice of Jesus which is the antitype, the lamb of God, at the cross (1 Corinthians 5:7).

Leviticus 23:6-8 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days you must eat unleavened bread. 7 In the first day you shall have an holy convocation: you shall do no servile work therein. 8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: you shall do no servile work therein.

This part of the ceremonial law was a shadow of the time Jesus spent in the tomb on the seventh day Sabbath and is called the “Feast of Unleavened Bread.”

The Feast of Unleavened Bread was a type of the sinless nature of Jesus releasing us from the bondage of sin (if we have faith in His atoning death). Jesus is the sinless bread of life (John 6:32, 48-51) and leavened bread represented the corruption of sin in one’s life that Jesus overcomes (1 Corinthians 5:8). Putting away the sin in your life (leavened bread) and replacing it by accepting sinless Jesus Christ (unleavened bread) in its place is the Gospel Message symbolized in the Passover meal known today as the Lord's Supper or Communion. You participate in the Lord's Supper to remember the sacrifice that Jesus made for you at the cross (Luke 22:19). This was the time of year of the latter rain (March/April). On this day Israel began to eat from the old corn and the manna ended the following day (Joshua 5:11).

Leviticus 23:9-14 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, 10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When you be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: 11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12 And you shall offer that day when you wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD. 13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin. 14 And you shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that you have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

This part of the ceremonial law was a shadow of Jesus' resurrection from the tomb and is called "First Fruits." Note the meat offering and drink offering that Paul refers to at the start of the verse in Colossians 2:16

Ceremonial law is one that contain many ordinances ,these are burdensome rituals that are in many cases a bloody and dirty affair.In these rituals it is made plain how terrible sin is,if we see these rituals as the ancient Israel did we will get the point how bad sin really is.

Of course when we read all the verses Col 2:14-17,all of Galatians now with this added knowledge of what of which law its plain to see what these verses mean.Now that we know these were ceremonial laws what conclusions can we draw.

1. Ceremonial law pointed to Christ Gal 3: 24 schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ Col 2:17. Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ --He was the sacrifice,the lamb slain.These laws pointed forward to the perfect sacrifice who did come.
   
2. It is made plain why Mathew 27:51, Mark 15:38 says :And the veil of the temple was rent in twain by (God himself) from the top to the bottom.When Christ was crucified there was no need for blood sacrifices and the priest offering up these sacrifices.
3. Notice the laws that were against us Christ came to remove .Adam and Eve after sin were to offer sacrifices after sin came in to the world (the transgression of the law the 10 commandments).
4. Notice that these laws were added Galatians 3:19 because of transgression,transgression of what ?another law? yes !The 10 Commandments.
5. A School master in Greek culture in Paul's time was a slave assign the duties of going everywhere with the child of the well-to- do family.He was called a tutor.The child would take orders from the slave who took orders from the child's father.So the Ceremonial laws,took there cue from the 10 commandments.But when Christ arrived at the scene the ceremonial laws were done away with no school master was necessary.
