Red Alert to the Body of Christ:

********************************************

Should Our Focus Be On the Antichrist, Elenin
and Nibiru or on Yahweh God and His Son?

********************************************


As a believer that wants to stay focused on the important things of God, I’m getting really tired of all the amateur videos flooding You Tube right now and invading believer’s forums and blogs about Comet Elenin and Planet X or Nibiru. The reason for my discontent is that all of these videos and blogs are posing totally unsubstantiated beliefs as facts when there is no factual information to prove that Elenin or Nibiru are the cause.

Yes, we know that Elenin is coming. Yes, we know that there seems to be some correlation between Elenin’s alignment with the Earth and the Sun that may be causing huge earthquakes, giant fissures and sink holes, and much terrible weather and volcanic activity. But the fact is that there is no real proof that Elenin is really behind any of this! There is no real proof that any legitimate source has given that shows Elenin to be anything other than a comet! All that has so far been shown by anyone is just plenty of imaginative conjecture being posed as facts. So the real danger here is that all this hype about Elenin may not only prove to be bogus and incorrect, but that many believers are allowing all the hype surrounding Elenin to keep them from preaching and teaching the important things of God.

What’s clear to me from years of research is that all the Nibiru doomsday predictors out there have been having a field day lately in being able to deceive many people into thinking they know something when they really don’t. Because all anyone of these videos proclaiming doomsday has shown so far outside of simulated projections of Elenin’s path and future alignments to take note of are the same bad old still photographs of what some say is Nibiru that have been circulating on the internet for at least the last 15 years. It is really sad how much these same bad photos keep getting recirculated over and over again even though the origin of these photos is not and never has been clear and the objects in them have never been truthfully identified.

The hype around Comet Elenin (and Nibiru/Planet X) has blown up into a monster of epic proportions and everybody seems to be eating it up without one ounce of real proof! But how does any of us really know what will bring about the Sixth Seal plagues or the first Trumpet plagues unless we get a clear word from God? Though I am certain that the events foretold in the Book of Revelation concerning these plagues will happen soon because of some dreams and visions I’ve recently had and because of the REAL Signs in the Heavens and Gospel in the Stars that I can verify and preach about with certainty, we have ABSOLUTELY NO WAY of knowing for certain how God is going to accomplish these things!!!

What many seem to be forgetting amidst all this bad hype is that our focus should ONLY be on doing Yahweh God’s Will. Because we know that God is planning to do many horrific things to the Earth to accomplish His Will and pour out His wrath on the wicked sometime soon, it’s our jobs to warn others and offer them God’s salvation while there is still time, not worry about the methods that God is going to use to destroy the world!

Yes, we should be aware that God is planning to destroy the face of the Earth and the wicked that are living upon this planet that refuse to repent. However, we also need to preach that Yahshua Himself also promised to deliver those who are in the Church of Philadelphia - and ONLY the believers in that church - from the coming disasters and bloody carnage!

So we need to focus on why the Church of Brotherly Love is the ONLY one that will be spared from having to go through the Tribulation like the rest of the churches outside of the Church of Smyrna. Could it be because these physically poor and spiritually undervalued believers share God’s love freely with everyone? Could it also be that they are NOT focused on health and wealth and enjoying what this world has to offer the rich, but only on the Kingdom of God in Heaven and the joys of the life to come?

Interestingly, Scripture tells us that the Church of Smyrna is full of martyrs and persecuted saints that will be attacked by the Synagogue of Satan that is filled with people who say they are Jews but are not. Could these false Jews be the many souls in the Messianic movement that are preaching against any kind of Rapture and that keep insisting that Christians are obligated to keep the whole Law while not preaching the concept of Grace or the power of the Holy Spirit to transform people in Christ? Could these false Jews also be the ones preaching that we are to be forcefully advancing the Kingdom of God through politics?

Does God want us to worry about establishing His dominion on Earth through politics, or is He seeking disciples to preach non-violence and non-involvement in politics and economics just as Yahshua did? Could it be that the Church of Philadelphia is the only church with members that spend much time in God’s presence praying, worshipping and studying His Word before going out and attempting to win more disciples for Christ by displaying His loving example in their behavior rather than boasting in their health or wealth or temporal power?

You see, it’s not important for us to know how God is going to accomplish His wrath, or even exactly when, but only that we can see all the signs that He is going to do so soon. In the meantime, all we have been called to do is to love one another just as Yahshua loves us! Regardless of whether God is going to use the Comet Elenin or Nibiru or not to bring about His wrath on the wicked, it’s our jobs right now as believers to be going about Our Heavenly Father’s business in advancing the Kingdom of God. This means NOT spending time in useless conjecture over who the Antichrist is or isn’t or which comet or asteroid or moon or whatever is going to hit the Earth as the star called Wormwood.

Remember to keep your eyes focused on Yahshua and not on your earthly needs or problems, and everything that you need will be provided for you - just as it says in God’s Word. It’s not time to give way to fear or waste time in conjecture, but to seek first God’s kingdom! Leave your safety and salvation in God’s hands right now and claim His peace and comfort for yourself. Then ask God to strengthen your faith in Him and your ability to hear Him as you focus on how you can be a part of God’s efforts to make disciples of all nations.

Don’t lose the race! Keep your focus! Remember that Yahshua is coming for a spotless, pure and loving Bride that has prepared her heart for marriage and is keeping her kind and compassionate eyes focused on loving others as God loves them.

In the meantime, may our Father God Yahweh bless you all! Maranatha!

All Children In The Rapture? A Personal Perspective

By Helena Lehman of the

Written on February 3rd, 2011

In the Gospel of Matthew, there are two lovely passages describing Yahshua’s astoundingly deep love for innocent young children. These passages have led many Christians and Messianics to believe that all children from the age of 12 and under will be Raptured, having not reached the Jewish age of maturity, which is 13. However, having been a mother and having experienced a young child’s tantrums and vile moods first hand, my gut reaction to this teaching is to reject it entirely.

As an example, my own daughter was displaying her sin nature and her willfulness to sin by the tender age of 2, albeit rarely at that point. Furthermore, based on the horror stories that mothers of strong-willed children have shared with me, I am sure my child is not the exception! In fact, many young children from the age of two and up can be as vile and temperamental as their adult care-takers.

In order to determine what the Scriptures truly teach about children in the Kingdom of God, let’s take a look at what these passages have to say:

Matthew 18:2-3 - “Then Jesus called a little child (i.e. paidion) to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.’”

Matthew 19:13-15 - “Then little children (i.e. paidion) were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, ‘Let the little children (i.e. paidion) come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.’ And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.”

As indicated in the preceding passages, I used Strong’s Concordance to analyze the phrase “little children” in both passages, and in every case the Greek word “paidion” was used, which means “infant” or “toddler.” Incidentally, this same word was translated as “young child” in relation to the narrative concerning “The Visitation of the Wise Men”, which is also in the Gospel of Matthew, a passage of which follows:

Matthew 2:8 - “And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, ‘Go and search diligently for the young Child (i.e. paidion), and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also.’”

This analysis of the Greek word “paidion” that is used to define “little children” and a “young child” in Matthew’s Gospel proves that Yahshua was not referring to children over the age of 2 or 3 at the most when He called the “little children” to come unto Him. Therefore, Yahshua was NOT saying that all children under the age of 12 are innocent or are not under judgment.

Rather, Yahshua was saying that ONLY little children who are still totally open, fully trusting and virtually unspoiled by sin and willfulness will be lovingly accepted into the Kingdom of Heaven with open arms and without judgment at the Rapture. Furthermore, Yahshua was warning His disciples that ONLY adult believers who consistently display young child-like trust, gentleness, kindness, faith and love for their Messiah will be allowed to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Instead of teaching watered-down doctrines that misuse the gift of Grace that Yahshua gave to us with His incredibly painful sacrifice for our sins, we need to grasp onto the fact that all of us need to be like little children who haven’t been tainted by sin, mistrust and fear in order to be acceptable as the Bride of the Great King of kings who is our Adonai and Bridegroom, Yahshua Ha Mashiach!
