When I was born again eight years ago, I came across Begley. Eight years later, he is still milking the same cow: people who do not know their Bible well enough to test what they are being told.
Heard Island is the definition of the term far. Situated about 2,500 miles southwest of the Australian mainland, and 1,056 miles north of Antarctica, the windswept volcanic island, encrusted with glaciers amid the foaming, dark and vast ocean, is about as “far” from man’s touch as you can get. Or so you might suppose.
At the beginning of the year, scientists returning to the island made a horrific discovery: 13,000 baby elephant seals were dead—75 percent of the entire population. In some areas, 95 percent had died.
Heard Island is an example of how far-reaching are the consequences of man rejecting God.
Bird flu had arrived on the island. Scientists theorize that a migratory bird carried the H5N1 disease to the remote location in August.
First discovered in China in 1996, H5N1 has spread to all areas of the globe. As highly transmissible as the disease is, it still shocked me that such a pathogen could reach such a remote location.
It reminded me of God’s diagnosis of our world just before the return of His Son: “Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint” (Isaiah 1:5).
This sickness refers primarily to the descendants of Israel and our moral decay, but every aspect of humanity is sick. Nothing in our world remains untouched by our rejection of God.
It takes 6 to 10 weeks for an expedition to reach the pinnacle of Mount Everest. What do you find on the top of this planet’s highest mountain? A garbage dump! Go farther. Look to outer space. Fewer than 1,000 people have been there, yet orbital debris is becoming so thick that it is a genuine risk to future space travel.
Look closer to home and you see the same corruption taking place. Our lives are saturated with corruption.
The air we breathe is full of noxious fumes. The food we eat is laced with microplastics and sprayed with insecticides. Our perfumes are carcinogenic. The shirt on your back is interwoven with chemicals.
It is not happenstance. Be it as close as inside your own body or the outer reaches of human space travel, you will find some type of pollution. Why is this corruption so pervasive?
It is the result of our decision to turn our backs on God.
“Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward” (verse 4). That last statement might be better translated “turned their backs on him” (New Living Translation). And what have we turned to? Our own ways. That is, the way of the current ruler of this world: Satan the devil (2 Corinthians 4:4).
God placed man in the Garden of Eden to dress and to keep it, and, by extension, to maintain the world over which he was given dominion. Yet Adam rejected that mandate and opportunity, as have each of his children, and our world and our bodies show the effects of those decisions.
In a May 2022 Key of David program, Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry stated: “Adam just succumbed to Satan’s way of choosing. OK, we kind of like that. We can do our own thing. We can have our own religion, our own government, our own science. And hey, we don’t have to submit to God! And look what that has done! Just look around at this Earth in this end time and see what has happened! Man cannot rule over man! That’s the lesson He’s teaching us, the hard way, and people don’t understand that! We’re in captivity to the devil! Because we’ve rejected God, throughout the ages, really.”
“From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment” (Isaiah 1:6).
It is little wonder that the Apostle Paul was inspired to write, “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now” (Romans 8:22). The creation is yearning for a healing, for the intervention of its Creator. Are you?
Run a diagnosis: Our world is sick, morally, socially, economically and spiritually! We are at death’s door! Unless God intervenes, there can be only one outcome.
“And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened” (Matthew 24:22).
God will halt the destruction for the sake of those who repent and are converted, who prepare for the coming liberation of our world.
I don't know this "pastor" that supposedly had this vision. He might very well be a good person with sincere intentions?
I did read every thing (all of it!) written in the post or thread I am commenting on, and I will admit that this "pastor" seems to be caring and trustworthy.
HOWEVER, I don't suggest that anyone take him or his stated "vision" too seriously...
I don't say this to bash the man or to start an argument.
Maybe he is sincere and even believes that he saw the vision he's claiming?
But most likely, he knows full well that he is just a fake.
I could easily believe this man if I was not grounded in Biblical TRUTH, myself.
However, I am grounded in TRUTH and have The WORD Of GOD hidden in my heart!
And that is why I can declare without any doubt whatsoever that this "pastor" can not be hearing from GOD.
He does not even know how to become saved according to the Bible!
And if he isn't truly saved, then how can he be a GOD called Pastor?
I know that someone reading this is offended. And who am I to say what I think or believe is somehow TRUTH to a stranger reading this?
The man I am calling out has a substack and is credited as being a "pastor". So to a stranger, it would have to be hard to believe me over this "pastor" with his credentials, UNLESS you know THE ONLY BIBLICAL TRUTH OF SALVATION.
If you do know the REAL TRUTH of the Gospel, then no doubt the TRUTH has made you FREE as well..
John 8:32
And ye shall know the truth, and THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE.
So what is the (singular) TRUTH that can make free or save the person that knows it?
JESUS spoke the verse above and in another place HE was recorded as saying that HE, HIMSELF IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE!
That's definitely the TRUTH.
JESUS HIMSELF is salvation...
The meaning of HIS NAME (JESUS) literally means "JEHOVAH IS SALVATION".
Google it if you want to fact check me.
Now, does that knowledge automatically save me just because I read it from the Bible and believe it?
Of course not! It's indeed a very powerful revelation, but knowledge of that revelation alone is not sufficient to save my soul. IF just knowing that and choosing to accept or believe JESUS upon HIS declaration of being THE, WAY, TRUTH & LIFE was sufficient to save, then the disciples would have instantly been saved at that moment and there would have been no need for JESUS to endure the cross.
But everyone that claims to be a Christian knows, that JESUS had to shed HIS BLOOD at Calvary. So just knowing HE was THE TRUTH wasn't able to save anyone then and it still isn't enough on its own today. It's a necessary starting point, but it's not the actual Biblical way to be saved.
What about the infamous "sinners prayer" that we all know by heart? According to it, if while praying, I admit that I am a sinner who needs a SAVIOUR and confess my sins followed by "accepting JESUS as my personal LORD and SAVIOUR", then just like that I am saved...
I am guessing that this "pastor" likely believes it this "sinners prayer" kind of way because it seems to be the most chosen doctrinal belief that most churches follow now days. "EASY BELIEVISM".
That sinners prayer can be quoted by every professing Christian out there. It's so popular that people automatically believe it to be Gospel Truth even though it's completely made up! If you don't believe me, then please find the sinners prayer in the WORD of GOD and prove me wrong...
You can read it from the front to the back but you won't find it because it is not in there!
Actually the BIBLE contradicts the sinners prayer!
Just one verse off the top of my head...
Romans 12:1
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of GOD, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, HOLY, ACCEPTABLE UNTO GOD, which is your reasonable service.
Just from that one verse, I just showed a discrepancy.
The "sinners prayer" says that to be saved, one has to (accept the LORD as their "personal" SAVIOUR).
BUT the verse above says that we must become HOLY which means pure repentance of sins, not confession only!
And then it says that THE LORD must (ACCEPT US)!
That is completely backwards from the false doctrine sinners prayer as well as how this preacher ended his substack...
We shall know them by their fruit!
Salvation was authored by JESUS on the cross.
And HIS church was born in the Book of Acts.
Peter preached the first message of the Church in Acts 2.
Toward the end of his message, he was asked plainly how to be saved and his answer saved then and it's still the only way today!
Acts 2:37-39
[37] Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, WHAT SHALL WE DO?
[38] Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, AND BE BAPTIZED EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS, AND YE SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST.
[39] For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and TO ALL THAT ARE AFAR OFF, even as many as THE LORD our GOD shall call.
