BBC Anchor Who Reported on WTC7 Collapse Early Agrees There May Be a 'Conspiracy'
We Are Change UK Question former BBC Report Phil Hayton-- who is 'amazed' that such a 'significant' event has no official explanation

Members of We Are Change UK questioned ex-BBC reporter Phil Hayton about the early reporting of WTC 7's collapse during a speaking appearance.

Hayton failed to recollect even being in the studio on the day of 9/11-- at first-- but then recalls the situation when it is described in detail, including the actions of Jane Standley, who reported the collapse some 26 minutes in advance with WTC Building 7 still visible in the background.

"A lot of eyebrows were raised," We Are Change reporters point out in summary, because many saw it as a clear controlled demolition, including a number of engineers.

Hayton responded, pointing out that he was not aware of the situation with WTC 7. "This sounds so significant-- I'm just amazed I didn't know about this... This is completely news to me."

"So, is there no official explanation?" Hayton further probed.

We Are Change continues to explain the delayed NIST report on WTC 7 as well as the response from a BBC editor who claimed 9/11 tapes were "lost" in a 'cock-up.'

"I sense that you think there's a conspiracy here-- but you might be right," Hayton concluded.

On a previous occasion, We Are Change UK reporters contacted Jane Standley by phone about the telling incident. Standley, unlike Hayton, was not surprised by the revelation, but became uncomfortable and hurriedly ended the conversation, only commenting that she had been "harassed" about the situation already.

Surely, it is clear that neither Standley nor Hayton were 'in on a conspiracy'-- rather they were used and fed information. However, Hayton seems willing to admit it while Standley has thus far been unable to answer for the suspicious incident ahead of the unexplained collapse.

The suspicion surrounding early media reporting of WTC7's collapse-- which Aaron Brown of CNN also announced-- only exacerbates the demolition apparent that many police, fire fighters and other emergency workers were told about in advance and which many other news anchors described as being like a 'deliberately destroyed' building.

Further, WTC lease holder Larry Silverstein said that the building was "pulled" and rescue worker Kevin McPadden has reported hearing a countdown to Building 7's demolition.

Dante's View of Hell and the New World Order

Q & A: Who was Dante and what is his Inferno?

My reply:

Dante's Inferno!
Dante's View of Hell and the New World Order

By John of AllFaith © 4.21.08

Dante Alighieri was one of the greatest poets of the Middle Ages. He was born in Florence, Italy around May 29, 1265, to a middle-class Florentine family.

Arguably his greatest work is known as "Dante's Inferno" from his most famous work, The Divine Comedy, but he wrote many other works as well.

In 1310 Dante wrote De Monarchia presenting his support for the then emerging New World Order and the installation of a supreme global leader. This causes many people to question whether he was a "darker" character than is generally believed. When in his Divine Comedy he takes the reader on a fictitious tour through Hell, Purgatory and Heaven, this suspicion of his relationship with the Merovingian House and other European Globalists is solidified in the minds of many.

"The Inferno" is the first part (of 3) of Dante's famous poem. As the hero of the story, Dante loses his way in the dark woods (of sin and materialism) and sojourns to find redemption (along with the poet Virgil) through the nine concentric circles of Hell. They finally come to the last section where Lucifer is imprisoned in a frozen lake. Upon this revelation of the utter futility of sin and disobedience to God (and the Catholic Church), the two are drawn up out of Hell. Their sojourn through the afterlife occurs in the year 1300. Dante enters Hell on Good Friday and emerges on Easter Sunday at the foot of "Mount Purgatory" and continue to final liberation.

For many years Dante's Inferno was taken as a literal description of the Infernal regions. It was reasoned, Who other than a servant of Satan could go to Hell and come back to write about it in such detail? This, coupled with his support for what we now call the New World Order that many believe will eventually (soon) become the Kingdom of the Antichrist makes many people question Dante's agenda and assume he was an early globalist committed to Luciferianism. That determination however rests in God's capable hands.

The Seven Periods of the Church Continued

The Church of Sardis: The Reformation to the Peace of Westphalia and beyond.

    1520 CE - 1750 CE: The Church was divided on several fronts. The Eastern and Roman Church had long since split, the Anglicans (Church of England) and the Protestants had also left the Roman Church, but nothing essential changed. The Pagan additions to the Hierarchical Church had become so entrenched that the Reformers didn't know what Master Y'shua had even taught. Christians were woefully ignorant of the Bible, in part because the Church had declared reading it illegal! Now the Church was fragmented and the chaos of infighting was everywhere present. This period of the Church is described as being all but dead. The main issues the Protestants had with the Church are contained in Martin Luther's Ninety Five Thesis of Reformation (Click Here and scroll down for this list). What is woefully absent from this list is the need to return to the Jewish roots of the Master's teachings. Despite this, there were still sincere and devoted people within the Roman, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican and Protestant Churches and HaShem was limitedly active within them all.

      Revelation 3:
      1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
      2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
      3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
      4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
      5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
      6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

    Here the Master clearly tells us that much has now been lost but that some remains.

The Church of Philadelphia: The Church in revival

    1750 CE - 1914 CE: There occurred that period of time know as the Great Awakening. This spiritual awakening produced several ministers and ministries seeking to restore spirituality to the Christian faith. These people ministered in all segments of the Church.

    Early on during this period, in fledgling America, the First Great Awakening occurred. This Awakening began in the Dutch Reformed Churches of New Jersey circa 1726. It soon spread to the Presbyterian and Congregationalist churches. This Great Awakening finally reached its zenith in New England in the 1740's. It produced thinkers such as Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758), John Locke (1632-1704), John Wesley (1703-1791) and George Whitfield (1714-1770), people who opposed the high level of emotionalism that was typical of the Enlightenment. Itinerant preachers such as the Reverends Gilbert Tennent, Samuel Davies, Eleazar Wheelock, Samuel Finley etc. traveled throughout the thirteen colonies expounding emotionally charged "American Protestantism," a new brand of religion that was born of American experiences. The Awakening fires spread to Virginia and elsewhere in the 1750's, but soon ended, being replaced by humanist certainty and the growing acceptance of Science and Darwinism and Secular Humanism.

    The impact of this Awakening was essential for the colonies as it created a bond between them ("e pluribus unum") and established a sense of identity and national destiny as a distinct people. Protestant Americans began to hail the United States as the New Zion, a virtual Protestant Promised Land. Jonathan Edwards considered the Awakening to be a "surprising work of God." He boldly proclaimed that Jesus had "flung the door of mercy open so that all could enter." During this period, the fatherhood aspect of the Christian God was emphasized, and the Colonists regarded themselves as His special children. These children of God fully expected that God would lead them and punish them for sins they allowed. As a result, "submission of the stubborn human will" became an important concept and the religious life of the day reflected this. Holiness in all things came to typify this Puritan revival.

    According to E.S. Gaustad, "the founding of the Separates and the Separate Baptists was the most conspicuous institutional effect of the [first] Great Awakening in New England." It was by no means the only one however. By 1755, there were over 125 Separate (or Strict Congregationalist) churches in New England. By 1776 over 70 Separate Baptist Churches existed. Later came the Universalists, the Unitarians, Free Will Baptists, Shakers and Quakers, the New Light Theologies (later organized as Edwardsianism, Hopkinsianism, and Consistent Calvinism), etc. The general-consensus of these movements was fundamentally Calvinistic, but this view was gradually changing.

    John Calvin was one of the primary 16th Century Reformers and a gifted debater and theologian. His teachings had a profound influence on the Reformed Christian Movement. The distinctive teaching of Calvinism is the Doctrine of Predestination. This belief holds that before the foundations of the heavens were set in place, God had already chosen those people who would be saved. The teaching is not that God, in His foreknowledge knew which people would choose to accept Him, but rather that God chose who He would saved. Those He did not choose were damned to suffer eternal torment in Hell no matter what they might do or desire to the contrary, even before entering their mother's womb! This doctrine is not as popular as it once was, but many Christians still believe it. Most Christians do not really understand the Christian Doctrine of Predestination or its dark implications.

    The First Great Awakening sparked the notion that God was willing to save anyone who truly repented. This was a harsh blow to then popular Calvinism! To do otherwise, it was argued, would be unAmerican! The ministers of the Awakening viewed America as a potential tool for the establishment of the millennial reign of Christ and themselves as his veritable ministers.

    This period transformed into the Second Great Awakening that abruptly ended with the onset of World War One in 1914, as Master Y'shua had foretold (Matt 24:6).

    Calvinism was waning and new religious forms and doctrines were developing by diverse Protestant and heterodox thinkers. Among the new Christian groups that arose during this shift away from Cavinism were the Missouri Synod, the Norwegian Evangelical Synod, the Church of the United Brethren, the Disciples of Christ, the Millerites, and Mormonism (the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints). Also appearing was Swedenborgianism, Taylorism (or Beecherism), Mesmerism, Owenism, Fourierism, the Oneida Society, the Mennonites, the Moravians, the Seventh Day Baptists, the Six Principle Baptists and Dunker Baptists, the Free Will Baptists, the YMCA, etc.

    This enlivening Americana feeling of divinely inspired individual responsibility and worth began again among the New England Congregationalists and soon spread throughout the United States, being found in all major denominations to some degree. By the mid 19th century however this movement likewise was absorbed into religious structure and the stagnation of traditional dogma. It should be remembered that these flowerings of intellectual and spiritual awakenings did not and do not occur in a vacuum. Each appearance or spiritual renewal is directly tied to the experiences of its predecessors. Such was again the case between the years 1875 and 1914 when the Third Great Awakening occurred.

    Some authorities do not see a break between the Second and Third Great Awakenings as I list them here. Its semantics really. I see a decided difference however because with the Third Great Awakening non-Christian religions began to emerge on the American scene.

    I discuss these awakenings and share a lot of information about the Third Great Awaking in particular Here. During this Awakening our modern eclectic religious landscape was established.

    Then came the first major signs that the End of the Church was dawning.

      Revelation 3:
      7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
      8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
      9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
      10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
      11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
      12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
      13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

The Seven Periods of the Church Continued

The Church of Pergamos: From Constantine to Pope Boniface III

    312 CE - 600 CE: The "Doctrine of Balaam" wins the day and the Nicolaites establish their authority when Emperor Constantine feigns conversion and declares the creation of a new religion known as Roman Universalism (ie Roman Catholicism). Based on the presence of the Nicolaites and their essential heresy since shortly after 70 CE, the new Roman Papacy declared itself the inheritor of the authority given to Peter as first Pope.

    But is this what the Master did? Here's the biblically cited source of this essential Roman Catholic dogma:

      "And I [Master Y'shua] say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

    But... what was the Master really saying to Peter? Was he saying that Peter was the rock (foundation) upon which the Master would build his Church or something else?

    First we need to understand that Master Y'shua did not come to build a Church! He was very clear in this:

      "But he [Master Y'shua] answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

    So what was he talking about?
      Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
      14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
      15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
      16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
      17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
      18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
      19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
      20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

    The English translation is intentionally misleading here. Verse 16 actually says, "And Simon Peter answered and said, You are anointed, a man devoted to the living God."

    In other words, the Master asked, "Who am I?"

    Peter's reply was that there existed debate on this question. Some believed the Master was John the Baptist in a dual reincarnation (for a bit on dual births see my reply here and here), others believed he was the reincarnation of Prophet Isaiah, Jeremiah or some other major Tanach prophet.

    "But who do you say I am Peter?" he asked. Peter replies, I know you to be a man anointed by God and I intend to follow you as such. To this the Master replies, upon the rock or foundation of this truth, ie my devotion to and anointing by the God of Israel those who accept this truth will gather in fellowship and assist in my work of reforming Judaism. I discuss this topic in detail elsewhere. Master Y'shua never left Judaism, never sought to convert Gentiles, nor did he ever encourage others to do so. This verse therefore was not intended to established "the Throne of Peter" nor the establishment of a Gentile Church.

      Revelation 2:
      12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 13 I know thy works and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
      14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
      15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
      16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
      17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

    By this point the Christian religion was based in Rome, "where Satan's seat is," ie the seat of the Roman Empire and the Nicolaitane Heresy.

    The "Word" is the Written Torah (and Tanach), ie the Hebrew Scriptures. These were the Scriptures used use Master Y'shua and his followers (there was as yet no New Testament written).

    The Nicolaitanes were teaching heresies that the Torah condemns and the Master warns those who remain committed to his teachings not to embrace these false doctrines. He praises those who are standing firm as Nazarene Jews (or Noahide Nazarenes). It is notable that the Master also praises them for remaining true to his name. "Name" is Onoma and literally means his name, ie not his teachings etc. It was during this period that the Roman Papacy deleted the name of our master, Y'shua (or Yeshua) and replaced it with the name "Jesus." I discuss the origin of the name "Jesus" Here. At this point Roman Catholics were beginning to use the new name for the Master but his loyal followers refused to embrace it.

    Despite the continuing loyalty of the Noahide Nazarenes during this period, Master Y'shua warns that it is their job as Sheep to stand against the rising Papacy and maintain the true form of Judaism he had taught through his apostles and others. Stand! he orders, or God may reveal the heresies of this new religion by removing His blessings from you!

The Church of Thyatira: Boniface III - Gregory VII (Hilderbrand) to the Reformation

    600 CE - 1520 CE: the Roman Papacy now rules much of the world and the religion of the Nicolaitanes reigns supreme. As a direct result of this the Spirit of HaShem, the God of Israel, is partly removed and Europa is plunged into the Dark Ages.

    Without the Spirit of HaShem the Church becomes increasingly legalistic and harsh. The "Holy Inquisitors" are commissioned to destroy all traces of Judaism, the Noahides, the Noahide Nazarene Way and those Pagans who, like the true followers of Master Y'shua, boldly refused to bow the knee to the Papacy. All of these were crushed in various ways. During this period it is estimated that over that six million European Pagans were slaughtered in what came to be known as the Burning Times. The loyal followers of Master Y'shua's teachings were condemned as "Judaizers," Arians (not "Aryans," Arians are those who, like me, reject the anti-Torah Trinity Doctrine created at Nicea). Bloodshed, ignorance and darkness of all sorts descended across all lands controlled by the New Universal Religion.

    It was also during this period that certain occult bodies were coming into their own and establishing Occult Brotherhoods that continue until our time and will, within our generation, bring forth the World Ruler known as Rex Mundi, Antichrist, Dijal and Little Horn.

    Still however HaShem did not turn away from the Church completely, in part because within it there has always existed sincere Believers and in part because HaShem was/is working out His grand Plan of Global Restoration. The word "Church" actually refers to those who place their faith in Master Y'shua and within Roman Catholicism, the Eastern Orthodoxies, the Anglicans, the Protestants and even among the Heterodoxies there have always been, as there is today, sincere, devout Believers.

    Among these sincere Believers were the Protestant Reformers, but there were also many who remained within the Roman Church as "loyal opposition" or who simply believed in the Church's spiritual authority. Many of these loyal Catholics have worked hard to stir the Catholic Church godward. Alas both the Reformers and the members of the Loyal Opposition failed to restore the Church to its biblical Jewish roots. The Church remains, and in some ways is drifting further afield from, the religion of Master Y'shua.

      Revelation 2:
      18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
      19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
      20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
      21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
      22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
      23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
      24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
      25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
      26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
      27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
      28 And I will give him the morning star.
      29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

    Here we see the birth of Whore of Babylon, "that woman Jezebel."

The Seven Periods of the Church

In the book of Master Y'shua's prophecy to John he explains that the Church would pass through seven distinct periods of time before finally embracing the role of Babylon the Great and being rejected by God and man. These "churches" existed in the cities referenced, but the meaning is deeper, signifying the future of the Church. We are currently living in the seventh and final of these periods, Laodecia. What follows is a list of the Seven Churches of Revelation and their approximate dates. These dates are given only as markers because the distinguishing traits of each period bleed over into the others in the continuous flow of prophetic time. This list should not therefore be taken as giving exact dates for the periods they reference. In these letters the Master, through his Beloved Disciple, addresses those who hold true to his Way in the various churches and the ages they signify.

The Church of Ephesus:

    70 CE - 170 CE: As the Jews, including the followers of the Jewish Master Y'shua, were expelled from Zion (as the Master predicted in Matthew 24) the Nazarenes (the followers of Y'shua of Nazareth) began to lose faith in the Way. They had hoped the Jewish Moshiach had come, but now with the utter destruction of Israel they felt rudderless. According to the prophets Moshiach would establish Israel, not oversee its destruction! The Master was dead, the Temple lay in rubble and the Gentiles ruled supreme while the Jews fled for their lives into the lands of infidels! In their confusion certain of the followers of the Way began embracing various non-Abrahamic doctrines. Having lost their homes and being dispersed throughout the world they began compromise their beliefs and to accept doctrines never taught by Moses, Master Y'shua, or the Jewish Scriptures.

      Revelation 2:
      1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
      2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
      3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
      4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
      5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
      6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
      7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

    There were devout (Written) Torah Observant Nazarenes still and they were struggling to maintain the true faith of the Master and his reformed Jewish beliefs. Others however were claiming to be apostles of the Master when in truth they were introducing false doctrines and leading the Nazarenes astray. Among these heretics were the Nicolaitanes (Nicolaitans or Nicolaites). While neither the texts we have today in the Bible nor external information positively identifies this sect, we do have clear identification of who they were. This sect (in verse 14) held to the error of Balaam as we will see below. The error of Balaam was the merging of Judaism with other religions and rites, thus leading them astray from the God of Israel. God is the God of the whole world and Master Y'shua taught that there were other, non-Jewish (and non-Nazarene) "sheep," however he had come solely for the House of Israel (Matt 15:24). The Nicolaitanes were leading the mainly Jewish (at this point) followers of the Master away from Judaism into a religious synthesis that was the hallmark of Roman religion. As is well known, whenever Rome conquered a people their gods were merged into Roman pantheon. The Nicolaitanes were seeking to merge the God of Israel into their Universal Pantheon. This Church period precedes the creation of the Roman Papacy but in the Nicolaitanes we see the trend the Church would follow. The Nicolaitane Heresy prevailed.

The Church of Smyrna:

    170 CE - 312 CE: As the followers of Master Y'shua and other Jews held firm to their devotion to the God of Israel they experienced severe persecution. During this period there was little time to debate doctrine, the followers of the Way were struggling to survive! It was during this period that the Maranatha fish was developed as a secret identifier by which the followers could come toward. For information on this and similar symbols and how they eventually led to the renaming of Master Y'shua, read my study IHS, Chi-Rho and the Name of Master Y'shua

      Revelation 2:
      8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
      9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
      10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
      11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

    Here we see the Nicolaitane Heresy clearly identified. These people were claiming, "to be Jews," but they were not. Rather, they were laying the foundation for a new religion that would be the bane of Jewish existence for the next 2000 years. Master Y'shua was Jewish. ALL of his disciples were Jewish. As Gentiles initially embraced his Way they considered themselves converts to Judaism. The difficulty was of course that the Jewish hierarchy did not accept the reformation of Prophet Y'shua and hence rejected the conversions of his Gentile followers. This situation is described in painful detail in the Book of the Acts of the Apostles. The final decision of the Apostles was that those who wished to enter into the Nazarene Congregation would not be required to formally convert into Judaism (via circumcision, the acceptance of the Jewish authorities etc).

    This ongoing controversy empowered those who wanted to transform Master Y'shua's reformation of Judaism into a new Universal Church that would be distinct from Judaism and hold the authority and blessings of Rome. At this point, 170-312 CE the true followers of the Master, Jews and the Noahides (Gentiles) alike, still considered themselves to be Jews as this verse makes clear. The Nicolaitanes however were clearly abandoning the precepts of Judaism and seeking to establish something entirely different: Modern Christianity. This abandonment of Judaism by the followers the Way was a development, "which I also hate" (vs.6). As the followers of the Way approached the 300's the Nicolaite heresy was gaining popularity. This was partly because those who surrendered to Roman rule faced less persecution and partly due to the growing, even rampant, antisemitism of the day.

    Unlike many of the followers of the Way, the Jews who had not embraced Master Y'shua were adamant in their rejection of Rome and its developing Universal religion. The Jews were praying for a return to their God-given Holy Land, for the coming of the true Moshiach, and now they had to contend not only with overt Pagans who hated them and had destroyed their Holy City and Temple, but also new Pagans who claimed to be the true Jews! These Roman Pagans actually claimed the God of Israel had rejected His people in favor of infidels!

    As the new Catholic (lit. "Universal") Church gradually developed based on the Nicolaite heresy, they established their power base upon the "Holy See" at Rome. Soon persecution against the "Christians" subsided and the Vatican and its priesthood amassed great power both religiously and materially. For the Jews however life only got harder and their struggle for survival showed no sign of easing.

So then, if the prophets did not reference a Rapture, what is to become of the Church?

When Emperor Constantine's Roman Papacy was editing, adding and deleting texts to what would become the official Christian Cannon (ie the Christian Bible) the Book of the Revelation of Y'shua the Anointed to his Disciple John almost didn't make it! It, and the Book of Hebrews, just barely squeaked into the official Canon. Lucky for us they did because they hold tremendously important information!

In Master Y'shua's detailed prophecy to John the Beloved he offers a detailed description of the future which many people, including me, regard as the Book Daniel, Part Two!

Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

It is Prophet Y'shua's Book of Revelations that makes Daniel's writings understandable and relevant.

It is impossible to understand the flow of Hebrew prophetic wisdom without understanding these two books of prophecy. Ignoring the Book of Revelations for instance some see Antiochus Epiphanes as the final fulfillment of the Little Horn spoken of by Prophet Daniel. When Prophet Y'shua's information is included however it is evident that Antiochus Epiphanes was, like Hitler, merely a type or preview of the coming world ruler, not the fulfillment of the prophecies concerning him.

Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ [Y'shua the Anointed], which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

In this awesome book of prophecy Master Y'shua picks up where he leaves off in Matthew's account of his prophecies. This book is essential to understand!

4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

As I have said, the Vatican did not like this book! But its meanings are somewhat hidden, the Vatican had the power to outlaw anyone other than priests and certain monks from reading it, and the book bears the unmistakable feel of real prophecy, plus it had many devoutly sincere proponents for its inclusion, so they reluctantly allowed it to pass into the Canon.

10 I [Apostle John] was in the Spirit on the Lord's day [ie I was meditating on the Sabbath], and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet...

The prophecies in this book, like those in the Hebrew Scriptures, claim to be divinely inspired. As other inspired visions, they were given with a degree symbolism that requires them to be studied if one would understand their teachings.

At the time there were seven literal churches in Asia bearing the names of these churches. Doubtless John sent copies of his book of prophecies to each of them. However there is a deeper understanding as well!

In my piece on Babylon the Great I discuss the Seven Church Ages as follows. If you are reading this solely to understand whether or not there will be a Rapture of the Church you may want to skip down to seventh Church listed here, Laodicea. It is the present and final stage of the Christian Church. Prophet Y'shua specifically tells us what will become of the Church of the Last days! This is important information for those wishing to understand the prophets and their teachings on the Rapture, the future, and other related topics:

JIMMY CARTER AND WORLD CHAOS

JIMMY CARTER AND WORLD CHAOS


The following is an accurate assessment made by "The Jerusalem Team," a Christian
organization supporting Israel and the Jewish People. We really need to understand
the truth of this warning!

Bush has publicly declared his intention to divide the Holy City by the time his junta leaves office. I have often expressed my doubts that Bush will actually leave office and of the devastation I am expecting to come this Autumn -- time will tell -- but this part of the NWO plan is moving along swiftly.

New World Order proponent and rabid anti-Semite Jimmy Carter is being used to flame the fires in the Holy Land to justify what's coming next. If you love Israel and the Jewish people, STAND NOW!

The author of this piece does seem to be ignoring the Bush/Rice plan to divide the Holy City and further weaken Israel for likely political gains (ie to support McCain's election), but the Jerusalem Prayer Team does seem to be sincerely pro-Israel. Certainly Bush is not the author of this treason, but he is a key player/figure head.

Would a "President McCain" be preferable to a "President Obama?" Probably.
Would a "President McCain" be better than a continuation of the Bush/Clinton Dynasty? Absolutely!
Is McCain what America and the world needs? Absolutely not!
But he seems to be the best of our bad options.

Electing Hillary president would by far be the worst mistake in American history.

The article:

JIMMY CARTER AND WORLD CHAOS

Former President Jimmy Carter's pro-Arafat and pro-Palestinian leanings
are legendary. According to Carter's assessment, Israel is the crux of
the problem. Never mind that Israel has endured decades of terror
attacks from Lebanon, Syria and Gaza, worthless peace agreements, and a
desire by its Arab neighbors to see Israel "wiped off the map." None of
this moves Mr. Carter. In his world, Yasser Arafat was the put-upon
Palestinian leader sorely abused by the Israelis.

Carter presents himself as a neutral, third-party arbitrator,
especially in Middle East affairs. Despite his role as intermediary at Camp
David, Carter has, in recent years, made statements that might be construed
as anti-Semitic. He continues to be a harsh and outspoken critic of
Israel, and has often favored Israel's enemies over the only democratic
society in the Middle East.

Of course, there are many today who believe the Republican Party under
the leadership of George W. Bush is solely responsible for the mess in
the Middle East. In truth, the groundwork for this miasma was laid
during the term of former Democratic President Jimmy Carter. It was all
brought about in the name of change and hope; familiar themes being heard
today from Democratic front-runners. It was Jimmy Carter who created a
firestorm that destabilized our greatest firewall in the Muslim world,
the Shah of Iran, in favor of a religious fanatic, the Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini

Now we will consider some of the verses people use to support the Doctrine of the Rapture:
Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe [Noah] entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
[note that for this entire pre-flood period Noah was warning the people that God's judgment was soon approaching even as many people are today. They "knew not" because they chose to know not. The word was given.]
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Does this "taking" refer to the Rapture? No. A few verses earlier Prophet Y'shua explained this when he said,

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains [to Petra according to other Prophets]:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: [it says the one on the roof would have that option, but it will be best to simply flee to Petra rather than take the risk of going back into the house. In other words, when you hear that the Rex Mundi has proclaimed his divinity, FLEE! At the Rapture, as envisioned, there will be no option "to return to your house," Christians will simply and instantly vanish.]
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes [again, in the "Rapture" this would not be an option].
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! [Why? In the Rapture, as envisioned, Christian moms and their pre-born babies would both be Raptured. These verses make no sense if applied to the Rapture].
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day [Again, the weather and day would not matter in the Rapture. Plus, the vast majority of Christians do not observe the biblical Sabbath anyway, they honor the day of the Sun God Sol Invictus worshiped by Constantine (for more on this see my study on the origins of the Christians Faith, so again, the Rapture occurring on the Sabbath wouldn't matter to Christians. For more on this topic see my study on the rise of Babylon the Great].

No, these verses (17-20 and 39-42) are not talking about a Rapture. They are giving a severe warning to those Jews (and doubtless Noahides) living in Jerusalem to be ready to immediately flee the City (and elsewhere) because when the Rex Mundi is killed, ...then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

These verses are clearly not talking about a Rapture of Gentile Christians when understood in context.

Likewise some people point to I Corinthians 15 as evidence for the Rapture:

51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep [ie be dead], but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

"At the last trump[et]" is the key to understanding here. To understand this timing we return to Matthew 24:

28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together [you will recall this as a reference to the Battle of Armageddon].
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days [the battle concludes the seven year Tribulation Period, thus after the timing offered by both Pre and Mid Tribulation Rapture proponents] shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory
[the Moshiach will come and still there is no final trumpet!].
31 And he [Moshiach] shall send his angels [messengers and representatives] with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect [ie the Jews] from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

When does this historic gathering of Jews occur? The "last trump" will announce the establishment of the global Kingdom of HaShem and the Jews will all go to Jerusalem. The new theocratic government and global Jewish priesthood will be established. During the thousand year theocracy death will not occur (Oh death where your sting!). Again, this is not a reference to the Rapture.

So then, if the prophets did not reference a Rapture, what is to become of the Church?

Is the Rapture a Biblical Doctrine? Part 2
(To read the entire piece now go to my Noahide Nazarene Site)

Let's begin with one the most important prophecies Master Y'shua gave us, Matthew chapter 24.

The chapter begins with the Master telling his followers that the Holy Jerusalem Temple, the heart of the Jewish faith, would be utterly destroyed! This was shocking news for people hoping that their Master was the Moshiach (Messiah)! The biblical role and function of the Messiah is to oversee the creation of a global Jewish government, but Prophet Y'shua tells them that dire days lie ahead for the Jews! They were shocked!

The disciples replied, "...when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age?" (The KJV uses the word "world" here but "aion" means age. It means world in the sense that "your world is ending" but not in the sense it implies today. The present age or "aion" is ending, not the world.

In verse 4, "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you...."

For the next many verses the Prophet reveals details of the End Times. The Temple was destroyed in 70 CE. The other events he speaks of would not happen until the End of the Age.

The Master warns that many false prophets will arise claiming to be anointed by God ("christ" means anointed and is not synonymous with Messiah other than by association in Church doctrine). I don't believe the point here is that they will claim to be Christ as in Master Y'shua returned (although some do), but that they are speaking the Words of God and are deceiving the people thereby.

He accurately foretells the two world wars:

7 For nation shall rise against nation [WW I], and kingdom against kingdom [WW II]: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

It is a generally acknowledged fact that the 1900's to the present have seen dramatic increases in such catastrophes. I wont go into all the details or offer evidence here as these are secondary to the issue at hand, the Rapture of the Church.

In the following verses we read of the religious persecutions that have been so prominent against Jews and others since the days of Hitler, then, directly related to our present study, we have the following concise prophecy:

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

The abomination of desolation spoken of by Prophet Daniel is spoken of in the ninth chapter of his book:

25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

First we note that "...When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation" shows that "you" (the people of God) will still be present on the earth at the time in order to witness it. This is one piece of evidence against the Pre-Tribulation Rapture because this 'desolation' takes place three and half years into the reign of the Rex Mundi. The Antichrist will order the rebuilding of the Jerusalem Temple early on and then desecrate it 3 1/2 years after his reign begins, three and a half years before it is ended by the true Messiah to saved the rescue the Jews (Matt 24:22). At the half way point he will commit the abomination (as typified by Antiochus Epiphanes, the Syrian King for those familiar with his reign).

We see clearly then that the Believers will not be removed from the earth, at least not prior to this point.

21 For then [ie following this desecration] shall be great tribulation [hence while the entire seven years are called the "Tribulation Period", the second half is known as the "Great tribulation."] such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened
[ie to save the Jews, the Elect, the second half will be shortened somewhat by HaShem].
23 Then [ie "tote" or "at that time", ie at the half way point in the seven years, when the Antichrist rises from the dead and declares himself to be God (compare II Thess 2:4)] if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not [in verse 5 the words, many will come saying, "I am Christ" means, "I am anointed or authorized by God" but here the claim is that, "I AM God." This claim is the essence of the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel Prophet in Dan 9].
24 For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders [referenced at Rev 13:4 and elsewhere of the Antichrist's works and those of his False Prophet (for more on this see my study on Babylon the Great]; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect [ie the Jews, which for the first three and half years will also be deceived by the Rex Mundi. When the Rex Mundi desecrates the new Temple and proclaims himself God however, someone, presumably a religious Jew, will assassinate him for this blasphemy and deception].
25 Behold, I have told you before.

Next we are shown the Battle of Armageddon: "For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together" is a referenced back to the earlier Hebrew Prophets for this upcoming war. After the war we read, "Immediately after the tribulation of those days..." Moshiach will come.

Nowhere in this section of the prophecies is there a Rapture referenced.

After discussing post tribulation events, the Master returns to the central question of this chapter, "When shall these things be," and tells us:

32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree [a common representation of Israel in the Bible]; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things
[ie the replanting and sprouting of Israel as a nation (1948/1967) as well as the earlier signs revealed], know that it [the end of the age] is near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation
[ie the one that sees these things, ie our generation] shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

For more on the timing of these events you may find my study, "When will these things be?" of interest.

Now we will consider some of the verses people use to support the Doctrine of the Rapture:

Antisemite Sheik Jimmy Carter, Hamas and China

Carter Is Still At It!

By now it comes as no surprise to anyone of course, but former US President and Globalist Jimmy Carter is still busy behind the scenes working for the destruction of Israel, the genocide of Jews and the supremacy of China over the West.



The following is a very sanitized AP news report, with a few comments by me, in which this rabid antisemite and globalist defends Hamas and the People's Republic of China, a nation that mandates the murder of millions of its own children each year -- (worldwide some 30-40 million innocent children are murdered every year by Hippocratic Oath denying doctors with the consent of their mothers and often fathers through this ongoing horror -- source -- but in China this slaughter of the innocents is mandatory!) -- that even now is terrorizing the people of Tibet and elsewhere, that rules its slave nation with an iron rod and series of gulags style slave labor camps and that We the People are paying for by the things we buy from Chinese slaves via Walmart and other companies and tax incentives.

The article is about Carter's justification of his meeting with Hamas and his support for the brutal Chinese regime hosting the Olympic Games.

Jimmy Carter defends meeting with Hamas

By CALVIN WOODWARD, Associated Press Writer1 hour, 50 minutes ago

Former President Carter said he feels "quite at ease" about meeting Hamas militants over the objections of Washington because the Palestinian group is essential to a future peace with Israel.

Carter, interviewed Saturday for ABC News' "This Week," airing Sunday, also said he would oppose a U.S. Olympic boycott and hopes all countries will join in the Beijing games.

He spoke from Katmandu, Nepal, where his team of observers from the Carter Center monitored an election that appeared likely to transform rule by royal dynasty into a democracy with former Maoist rebels in a strong position, judging by incomplete returns.

Several State Department officials, including the secretary, Condoleezza Rice, criticized Carter's plans to talk in Syria this week with exiled Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal in the first public contact in two years between a prominent American figure and the group. Carter said he had not heard the objections directly, although a State Department spokesman said earlier that a senior official from the department had called the former president.

"President Carter is a private citizen. We respect his views," Stephen Hadley, President Bush's national security adviser, said Sunday on ABC.

"The position of the government is that Hamas is a terrorist organization and we don't negotiate with terrorists. We think that's a very important principle to maintain," Hadley said. "The State Department made clear we think it's not useful for people to be running to Hamas at this point and having meetings."

[Comment by me: Remember that Globalist leader Herr Bush has vowed to divide Jerusalem and force Israel to surrender much of their land by the end of his term as unelected junta leader. They can say what they will, Carter is doing Bush's work exactly, even as Hillary is.]

Carter demurred.

"I feel quite at ease in doing this," he said. "I think there's no doubt in anyone's mind that, if Israel is ever going to find peace with justice concerning the relationship with their next-door neighbors, the Palestinians, that Hamas will have to be included in the process."

[Comment by me: Nonsense! The Palestinians are not Israel's "next-door neighbors" they are a created body of the Islamic Ummah with absolutely no historic claims to Israel (for proof, watch this video) property that has one goal: the destruction of Israel].

Although he said the meeting would not be a negotiation, he outlined distinct goals.

"I think that it's very important that at least someone meet with the Hamas leaders to express their views, to ascertain what flexibility they have, to try to induce them to stop all attacks against innocent civilians in Israel and to cooperate with the Fatah as a group that unites the Palestinians, maybe to get them to agree to a cease-fire — things of this kind," he said.

The State Department says it advised Carter twice against meeting representatives of Hamas, which Washington considers a terrorist organization.

"I find it hard to understand what is going to be gained by having discussions with Hamas about peace when Hamas is, in fact, the impediment to peace," Rice said Friday, after reports of the planned meeting surfaced.

Carter said he'd be meeting Syrians, Egyptians, Jordanians, Saudi Arabians and others "who might have to play a crucial role in any future peace agreement that involves the Middle East."

[Comment by me: All of which are political bodies that, like the terrorist organization, "the Carter Center" are committed to the destruction of Israel and the genocide of the Jewish people].

Asked whether it was right to meet a group that has not renounced violence or recognized Israel, he said, "Well, you can't always get prerequisites adopted by other people before you even talk to them."

Pressure to drop the meeting has come from his own party. Democratic Reps. Artur Davis of Alabama, Shelley Berkley of Nevada, Adam Schiff of California and Adam Smith of Washington state wrote a letter to Carter saying the meeting could confer legitimacy on a group that embraces violence.

[Comment by me: Duh...the Democratic Party has been little more than a Globalist network working to destroy the United States and replace it with the North American and then Global Union for many years ("Novus Ordo Seclorum"). Look at the choice they have given us this election? A continuation of the 20 year Bush Clinton Globalist Dynasty or Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. whose own Antisemitism is well known even if its origins are debatable. This is like saying the gas chambers might make Hitler look Antisemitic!].

"I've been meeting with Hamas leaders for years," Carter said [emphasis mine].

The Carter Center said his "study mission" was taking him to Israel, the West Bank, Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Jordan this week.

[Comment by me: Again, remember that Globalist leader Herr Bush has vowed to divide Jerusalem and force Israel to surrender much of their land by the end of his term as unelected junta leader. They can say what they will, Carter is Bush's work exactly.]

Carter, a broker of the 1978 Camp David peace accords between Egypt and Israel, won the Nobel Peace Prize for his conflict mediation as president and since.

As president, Carter led the boycott of the Moscow Olympics in protest against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. "That was a totally different experience in 1980, when the Soviet Union had brutally invaded and killed thousands and thousands of people," he said, rejecting the idea of boycotting the Beijing games to protest China's crackdown in Tibet. He did not address whether just the opening ceremonies should be boycotted.

[Comment by me: China invaded and murdered millions of Tibetans and other nationalists and continues to murder thousands of its own citizens every year through mandated infanticide (abortion) and other abominable actions. China is MUCH worse and a much larger threat to global stability than the Soviet Union ever was. Carter is a liar, a hypocrite and a traitor to our nation!].

Jesus' Appearance, Idols, Christians, Hindus, Muslims, Shroud of Turin, And More!


A poster asks:
    Christians do not know what jesus or what mary looks like then why do they make statues of them?

    I think its wrong because in the bible ther are no discriptions of what jesus's face looks like then why make idols of him?
    then how can people think of making idols

    Isnt this ideology like hinduism and does this mean worshipping idols?

    so if not know what jesus looks like i think every christians should stop makin idols because it is desrespect.

Here's my reply. What are your thoughts?

Hi,

What is and is not idolatry is debatable.

The biblical prohibitions against idolatry are related to the Jews being the Chosen People. As the specifically separated emissaries of HaShem (God) the Jews were commanded to adhere to strict rules in their worship of "the God of Israel" that do not apply to Gentiles. These laws were issued to maintain the unique status of the Jews as they confronted other peoples and their religious practices. The Jews also used images, consider the ornate design of the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Temple etc. but they were not to worship these images or to use them as spiritual conduits.

As for what Master Y'shua looked like, there is an amazing similarity of descriptions that has been passed down to us. This description is very similar to the image on the Shroud of Turin and the idealized images stemming from it.

Under Islam such images are flatly condemned, as we saw during the Muslim riots over the Denmark children's book. This anger stemmed from genuine religious faith, but evidenced Islam's lack of tolerance and understanding of other cultures and religions. As with the ancient Buddha statues in Bamiyan that were destroyed, such acts reflect Islam's essential lack of respect for other cultures and traditions and are rightly referenced as warnings to the world as the Islamic Ummah continues to grow and spread worldwide.

Christians on the other hand have generally accepted the use of statues, icons and pictures as methods of keeping the mind focused on God and teaching people about Him. Christians generally believe that photographs, statues, etc. can be effective reminders to give God thanks throughout the day and the solace of knowing that, "this too will pass." Christians do not worship these images (with rare exceptions). They use them as spiritual inspirations and reminders.

The same is true of most Hindus by the way. Hindus are not "idol worshipers." Indians have long been among the most spiritually awake people on the planet. Globalization is now effectively destroying this historic spiritual center of India, but so far it survives. In India representations of spiritual realities are still everywhere and serve as constant reminders of God's presence in our daily lives. They bring the importance of spiritual life to mind. For instance, one day while walking through the streets of Vrndavana I came across the following roadside alter to Lord Jagannatha (the Visnu Avatar of Mover of Immovable Things from Whom comes the English word juggernaut).

(the woman is partaking of offered "holy water")

God is obviously far far greater than ANY image made with human hands, but by seeing religious representations we are reminded of God's presence in our daily lives and this can not help but be a good thing.

It is also important that we remember that the Holy One is not limited by human taboos either. If God wishes to be known through Hindu murtis, Christian paintings and statues, ancient stone buildings, etc. we would surely be wise to accept this. God has chosen to reveal Himself in countless and diverse ways throughout history. Who are we to say that one is better than the other?

As we read in Micah 6:6:

    Wherewith shall I come before HaShem, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
    7 Will HaShem be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
    8 He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth HaShem require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
God looks at our hearts, at our intentions, not at the specifics of our external observance. These are merely tools meant to help us.

What is and is not idolatry is debatable. As the prophets foretold, greed and lukewarm practice and observance are Christianity's main problems today (Rev. 3:15-20), not the use of these images in my opinion.
