TRINITY LIFE CHURCH LEICESTER: DAVID HIND'S DISTORTED EASTER PRESENTATION

“Salt is good, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is of no use either for the soil or for the manure pile. It is thrown away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” (Luke 14:34-35).

Finding Security in a Troubled World - 26th March 2020

TLC's recent Easter Presentation leaves me with little alternative but to write a further post about David Hind's warped "Christian" values.

David Hind proudly related his visit to Buckingham Palace two years ago to receive the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service. This award was given to TLC's charity Open Hands for their so called "services to the poor". Hind's boast about Open Hands being a "compassion charity" is paradoxical considering the spiritual and moral compromise involved in seeking and accepting funding from the National Lottery. It is beyond dispute that gambling is an industry that feasts on the poor and vulnerable! TLC's skewed reasoning says it is OK to use unethical lottery funds help the poor!

Hind actually dared to compare the Queens appearance as she entered the garden of Buckingham Palace to Jesus' first appearance to the disciples through locked doors in John 20:19-23. Hind: "All of a sudden a door opened, and the Queen.. walked out. Thousands of people were in silence and awe as this amazing lady walked out to greet her guests." No Christian should be in "silence and awe" of anyone apart from Jesus Christ! Hind's blasphemous comparison between the Queen and Jesus Christ gives us a snapshot of the value he puts on outward appearances. "But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”walked (1 Samuel 16:7).

Was David Hind "privileged to be invited" to Buckingham Palace? In worldly terms, yes certainly ~ in spiritual terms, most definitely NOT!  (Isaiah 5:20). Hind's visit to Buckingham Palace was the equivalent of John the Baptist going on a jaunt to have tea with King Herod! In reality it would have been inconceivable for John the Baptist to fraternize with Herod, God's enemy. (Mark 8:15).

John the Baptists objection to the adulterous marriage between Herod and his brother Philip's wife:

Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.
On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.
Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”
The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.
John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother. (Matthew 14:3-11).

Hind has previously described the Queen as a "Christian", but we must be very naive if we genuinely believe this to be the case. As the Supreme Governor of the Church of England the Queen is the titular head of the Church of England, a position which is vested in the British monarch. However, the Church of England is ecumenical and openly seeks unity with the corrupt Roman Catholic Church. The ecumenical agenda of the Church of England is organised by the Council for Christian Unity (CCU). {1}

There is indisputable evidence that the Royal Family are British Druids. I will recap below just in case David Hind missed it the first time.

'Political and religious suppression forced the Druids to go underground. Many thought that the religion had disappeared, but it survived, handed down within families and villages to resurface again in the early eighteenth century. There are three main druidic colleges. . .In fact, druidism has become so accepted socially that Queen Elizabeth II and the Prince of Wales both accepted posts as honorary Druids in the Wales Gorsedd. (ff. ‘The Gnosis Interview’)… By 1988, there were estimated to be over one million adepts (spiritual masters) and the movement is growing.'" (The Trojan Horse, Brenda Scott and Samantha Smith, pp. 59, 60) {2}

Below: 3rd August 1926 ~ Bardic titles for the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother) at the Welsh Eisteddfod, they are pictured with the Arch Druid after they were initiated. {3} 

In 1967 the Queen gave her Royal Assent to the Abortion Act. A friend once said to me that the Queen has no choice regarding Royal Assents i.e. she could not have refused to give her Assent to the Abortion Act without risking her position. My response: THERE IS ALWAYS A CHOICE. Consider the cost to Jesus Christ Himself, the cost to the disciples, the cost to countless numbers of Christian martyrs who renounced the world's values for the sake of Jesus Christ. (Luke 14:28-33). How many true Christians would be willing to sign a death warrant legalizing the murder of literally millions of unborn infants? (Proverbs 6:16-17).

In 2013, the Queen signed the Royal Assent for the equal marriage act, allowing gay marriage for the first time. (Leviticus 20:13, 18:22; Romans 1:27). {4}

How will the Queen answer for these terrible atrocities on the day of Judgement? (Revelation 20:12).

Biblically, anyone who claims to be a Christian and does not uphold sound doctrine should be avoided not venerated!

If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works. (2 John 1:10-11).

David Hind's worldly values have nothing at all to do with true Christianity. By actively seeking out worldly accolades, TLC have given way to the political correctness of our time. (Luke 11:23; 1 John 2:15). I appeal to those who attend TLC to think about these things rather than acquiesce with those who glory in their shame. (Philippians 3:19).

TLC are silent about issues such as abortion and gay marriage, and nothing is mentioned of Prince Andrew's dubious associations or Prince Charles' intention to become' "Defender of Faith" without the definite article. 

Thankfully there are still faithful Christians out there who are are prepared to count the cost of true discipleship:

Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:28-33).

The perverted version of the bible they read from at TLC is the New Living Translation (NLT). The NLT is nothing less than a satanic counterfeit of the bible. Below is a list of NLT perversions:

• Deuteronomy - "sodomite" changed to "temple prostitute"
• 1 Kings 14:24 - "sodomites" replaced with "shrine prostitutes"
• 1 Kings 15:12 - "sodomites" replaced with "shrine prostitutes"
• 1 Kings 22:46 - "sodomites" replaced with "shrine prostitutes"
• 2 Kings 23:7 - "sodomites" replaced with "shrine prostitutes"
• Matthew 17:21 - entire verse omitted
• Matthew 18:11 - entire verse omitted
• Matthew 19:9 - half of the verse is omitted
• Matthew 23:14 - entire verse omitted
• Mark 6:11 - half of the verse is omitted
• Mark 7:16 - entire verse omitted
• Mark 9:44, 46 - entire verses omitted
• Mark 11:26 - entire verse omitted
• Mark 15:28 - entire verse omitted
• Mark 16:9-20 - entire passage is questioned by a footnote that says, "The most reliable early manuscripts conclude the Gospel of Mark at verse 8"
• Luke 4:8 - "get thee behind me Satan" is omitted
• Luke 17:36 - entire verse omitted
• Luke 23:17 - entire verse omitted
• John 1:10 - says God created everything "through" Jesus instead of "by" Jesus as the KJB teaches
• John 1:41 - The NLT leaves out the phrase, "Which is by interpretation, a stone."  Hence, the critical distinction between Peter as "the stone" (Petros), and Jesus as "The Rock" (Petra) is obscured.  This was no doubt deliberate to pleases Catholics who falsely teach that Peter is the rock upon which the church is built.  The Bible states in no uncertain terms, "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ" (1st Corinthians 3:11).
• John 3:16 - the all important word "begotten" is omitted, thus denying the deity of Christ
• John 3:13 - "which is in heaven" is omitted John 5:4 - entire verse omitted
• John 7:53 - 8:11 -- entire passage is questioned in a note which says, "The most ancient Greek manuscripts do not include John 7:53 - 8:11"
• Acts 8:37 - entire verse omitted
• Acts 12:4 - changes "Easter" to the incorrect "Passover" (See Numbers 28:16,17 and Acts 12:2 in the KJB)
• Acts 17:29 - completely removes the "Godhead"
• Acts 28:29 - entire verse omitted
• Romans 1:20 - completely removes the "Godhead"
• Romans 16:24 - entire verse omitted
• Philippians 2:6 -removes the word "equal," thus denying Christ's deity
• Colossians 1:16 - says God created everything "through" Jesus instead of "by" Jesus as the KJB teaches
• Colossians 2:9 - completely removes the "Godhead"
• 1 Timothy 3:16 - "God" is omitted, says "Christ appeared in the flesh, thus denying the deity of Christ
• 1 Timothy 6:5 - "from such withdraw thyself" is omitted
• Hebrews 1:3 - the all-important words "by himself" are omitted
• 1 Peter 4:1 - "for us" is omitted
• 1 Peter 4:14 - half of the verse is omitted
• 1 John 3:16 -completely removes "the love of God"
• 1 John 4:3 - the all-important words "Christ is come in the flesh" are omitted 1 John 5:7-8 -- Trinitarian clause omitted
• 1 John 5:7 - half of the verse is omitted, thus denying the Godhead
• 1 John 5:13 - half of the verse is omitted
• Revelation 1:11 - first half of the verse is omitted
• Revelation 5:14 - "him that liveth forever and ever" is omitted {5} 

ANY distortion of God's holy Word is a very serious matter:
Deuteronomy 4:2, 12:29-32, Proverbs 30:5-6; Revelation 22:18-19

There is nothing new about Satan's mission to distort the Word of God. (Genesis 3:1; Matthew 4:1-11). When there are good translations out there, we should be asking why TLC choose to use this perverted version?

I have listed a number of red flags associated with TLC previously, the most bizarre being the open display of 666 at their Coffee House on London Road.

When you begin to think about it, everything about TLC has all the outward appearance of godliness, but in the cold light of day, reality speaks otherwise!  (2 Corinthians 5:12).

ALPHA COURSE CONCERNS

The Roots Of The Alpha Course

Alpha began at Holy Trinity Brompton Church (CofE)) in London in 1977. In 1990 Nicky Gumbel, then a curate at HTB, adapted the course in order to facilitate people outside the church who were interested in exploring the Christian faith. It is claimed that millions of people have attended Alpha since 1993. The course now runs in every part of the "global church", including the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church and all mainline Protestant denominations. {1}   

Gumbel is an out and out Romanist.

Alpha's ecumenical slant should be a huge red flag for supposed "bible believing" church leaders who should know better. Roman Catholicism is based on works salvation and is an abominable perversion of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Many denominations have now apostatised from the true gospel and are embracing the ungodly ecumenical agenda. (2 Corinthians 11:4).

Alpha's ambiguity is evidence of doctrinal weakness. 

By its own admission, Alpha is designed to present the essentials of Christian faith that all denominations agree on. {1} This strategy necessitates evading the clear gospel of Jesus Christ (Colossians 4:4). In effect Alpha's ambiguity opens the door to further ambiguity and error down the line.

"Alpha refers to salvation, the cross, the death of Christ, etc., in such a general way that false doctrine is not refuted. It says salvation is by grace, for instance, but it does not say that salvation is by grace ALONE by faith ALONE through the blood of Christ ALONE without works or sacraments. It refers to the Bible as God’s Word in a general sense, but it does not explain that the Bible is truly God’s inerrant, infallible, supernatural Word that must be reverenced and obeyed in every detail, that the Bible ALONE is the authority for faith and practice. It refers to Christ’s death on the cross, but does not plainly explain the vicarious atonement that was required for man’s salvation. It refers to man’s need, but it does not describe man as a totally depraved nature sinner. If Alpha were that specific, it is certain it would not be ecumenically popular in this apostate hour." {2} 

RCDOW: "It (Alpha) is wholly compatible with Catholic teaching, but it does not address specific Catholic teachings and ecclesiology." {3} 

The above statement is very telling! In order to be "compatible with Catholic teaching", Alpha by its very nature must involve doctrinal modus vivendi. RC historic opposition to faith alone in Jesus Christ still stands:

THE COUNCIL OF TRENT CANON XII -"If any one saith, that justifying faith is nothing else but confidence in the divine mercy which remits sins for Christ's sake; or, that this confidence alone is that whereby we are justified; let him be anathema." {4}

The Holy Spirit Weekend

The controversial "Holy Spirit weekend" is the sine qua non of Alpha. Both Sandy Millar, the previous vicar of HTB, and Nicky Gumbel, personally experienced various dubious manifestations introduced by John Wimber during the 1980s, the prequel to the so called "Toronto Blessing". Holy Trinity Brompton's heavy promotion of Toronto was the catalyst that caused Alpha's popularity to explode during the 1990s.

Gumbel: “I believe it is no coincidence that the present movement of the Holy Spirit has come at the same time as the explosion of the Alpha Courses. I think the two go together.” {5}

The Holy Spirit weekend initiates spiritually naïve participants into the dangerous experience known in charismatic circles as the "transferable anointing". Alarmingly, without a comprehensive understanding of the gospel, this "anointing" leaves attendees vulnerable to "another spirit". (2 Corinthians 11:4,14; Matthew 13:19). Alpha "converts" have no competency to test the spirits as the scriptures instruct, as such they are an easy target for deceivers. (1 John 4:1). The method typically employed by Alpha is to infect their victims with this counterfeit spirit by the laying on of hands. The resulting occult manifestations, such as falling backwards, violent jerking, uncontrollable laughter, bodily contortions, "drunkenness" etc. is unbiblical and dangerous. (Acts 8:17). This error has spread like gangrene from Toronto and Holy Trinity Brompton. (2 Timothy 2:17). Toronto and its demonic manifestations have now been thoroughly exposed as counterfeit. (See Further Links)

Rob Thomas: "Using the classic cult technique of taking people out of their normal routine and surroundings, and placing them into a new and super-charged environment of intense expectation of Signs & Wonders, the candidates are ripe to receive WHATEVER comes their way! They are urged to be open to being "slain in the spirit" and experiencing strange physical sensations like shaking and heat. In short, persons are being taught and encouraged to receive a most UNHOLY type of spirit with attendant fleshly manifestations known in Eastern occultism as KUNDALINI.." {6}

ShipofFools: "My own parish had the unfortunate experience once of people walking out of the weekend because they felt duped - there were 'plants' as they took it, people sprinkled about the gathering whose job it would be to lay hands on people and pray for them to receive the Holy Spirit." {7}

Gumbel's Faulty Theology

Gumbel describes the Holy Spirit as a "Compelling Spirit". {8}
This description is very misleading. The Holy Spirit convicts, He never compels! (John 16:8).

..for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. (2 Timothy 1:7)
..and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets. (1 Corinthians 14:32).
God is not a God of disorder...1 Corinthians 14:33).

Gumbel on the gift of tongues: "You don't need to speak in tongues. It is not the most important gift. But tongues is a beginner's gift, and Alpha is a beginner's course in Christianity, so it would be wonderful if you tried.. They (tongues) take time to develop. Most of us start with a very limited vocabulary. It gradually develops. Tongues is like that. Don’t give up." {9}

Gumbel's description of the gift of tongues is inaccurate.

On the Day of Pentecost, no one had to "try" to speak in tongues; it was not something they needed to "learn" or "practice".

..they were all together in one place. (probably the hundred and twenty) (Acts 1:2,15).

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Acts 2:1-4).

Tongues is described by the Apostle Paul as a lesser gift than prophecy. (1 Corinthians 14:5; 12:28). Tongues are not a "beginners gift". Gumbel is full of these inconsistencies.

Before anyone accuses me of being a cessationist, I am not. I have personally received insights and revelations from the Lord, and I claim to have the gift of "discerning of spirits". (1 Corinthians 12:10). How ironic that "discerning of spirits", the most needed gift in these perilous times, is rejected by compromised churches when it disagrees with their ecumenical agenda. (2 Timothy 3:1)

Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12).

SIMON BRAKER PROPHETIC VOICE LEICESTER: AUGUST 2019 "PROPHECY"

Below: A dream from NAR "prophet" Simon Braker, Associate Minister at Holy Trinity Church, Leicester (CofE).

Simon Braker
1st August 2019

"In a dream, I was watching people play a game of jenga, as I watched I noticed the bottom three bricks had words on them, Germany, France and the UK,
A player came and began to try to take the UK brick out, the other players shouted don’t move that one it will make our tower fall over, we want to make it taller not make it collapse,
But the player persisted and the others began to fight with him to try to stop him taking out the brick, when he finally did manage to remove the brick, the tower began to wobble and sway,
The bricks began to turn to sand I could see these bricks also had names, Greece And Spain were the first to fall and then the whole tower turned to sand,
Then a massive storm began to blow and the people playing the game began to panic as the sand began to get swept away in the midst of the storm,
Then in the wind in heard the words, And so it shall be for those who choose to build their houses upon the sand, they will not stand in the great storm that is about to hit the earth" {1}

Braker is referring to Brexit, the supposed dissolution of Europe, and a "great storm" that is allegedly about to hit the earth. I would caution believers that it is necessity to test any prophecy given by an individual against the scriptures. (1 John 4:1). People would do much better to give their attention to biblical prophecy, rather than to the dreams and visions of dubious NAR "prophet" Simon Braker and his ilk. There are a number of false teachings associated with the NAR. One major problem is false eschatology i.e. their emphasis on postmillennial dominion theology (Christian reconstructionism), which denies the millennial reign of Jesus Christ. Dominionism stands in direct contradiction to Revelation 20:4: And they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. A false prophet is a person who falsely claims the gift of prophecy or divine inspiration. The penalty for a false prophet in the Old Testament was death: But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has taught rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of slavery, to make you leave the way in which the Lord your God commanded you to walk. So you shall purge the evil from your midst. Deuteronomy 13:5. This was the case even if the prophecy came to pass; the true test is identified as sound teaching! (Matthew 24:24; 2 Thessalonians 2:9). We don't put false prophets to death these days. However the New Testament takes the subject no less seriously - the fate of false teachers/prophets will be swift destruction (2 Peter 2:1-3; Matthew 7:15; Acts 20:30; 1 Corinthians 13:5; 2 Corinthians 11:13; Titus 1:6;2; 1 John 4:1-3), Romans 16:17; Titus 3:10. 2 John 1:10).

As a response to Braker's prophecy, I have given a brief outline of the scriptural account of final world events based on bible prophecy and possible corroborating world politics as I understand them. I write from a futurist premillennial perspective.

Given the lateness of the hour, I do not think that the dissolution of the EU is likely. I base my views primarily on the "ten kings" prophecy in the books of Daniel and Revelation, and secondarily on the globalist plan for a New World Order.

The Book of Daniel was written in the sixth century BC and is a major apocalyptic book of the Old Testament. The prophecies came in the form of dreams, initially Nebuchadnezzar's dreams (Daniel 2:1), followed by various dreams given to Daniel's himself. Unlike many modern day "prophets", the book of Daniel has scriptural authenticity: "The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure." (Daniel 2:45). History precisely corroborates the earlier prophesies of the book of Daniel; as such we can fully expect its future prophesies to be precisely fulfilled.

Daniel interpreted King Nebuchadnezzar's dream of a great statue as God's prediction of the rise and fall of four world powers (Daniel 2:31-43). Most bible scholars agree with the traditional view that we are living in the fourth beast kingdom at the present time i.e. Rome (initially the Roman Empire - morphing into Roman Catholicism at the end of the fourth century).





After this, as I watched in my vision in the night, suddenly a fourth beast appeared, and it was terrifying—dreadful and extremely strong—with large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed; then it trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the beasts before it, and it had ten horns. While I was contemplating the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like those of a man and a mouth that spoke words of arrogance. (Daniel 7:7-8).

The ten horns correspond to the ten toes of the image of Daniel 2 (Revelation 12:3; 13:1; 17:3; Daniel 2:41-42; Daniel 7:23). The ten toes represent a confederacy of ten kingdoms, some strong and some fragile, emerging from Rome.

And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. (Daniel 2:42 KJV). "..they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men" is an unusual phrase that has led to various theories elaborating on the theme that "the seed of men" indicates that "they" cannot be human. (Genesis 6:2).

Finally God will establish an everlasting kingdom that will utterly destroy all the previous kingdoms.

As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth. (Daniel 2:34-35 cf. 44-45).

Satan is described in Revelation 12:3 as a huge red dragon with seven heads, ten horns, and seven royal crowns on his heads. This description identifies Satan with the final beast kingdom more closely than any of the previous kingdoms. A difference occurs in the text however; Satan has seven crowns upon his heads, whereas the beast out of the sea, the final beast kingdom has ten crowns on its horns:

And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems. (Revelation 12:3).
And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. (Revelation 13:1).

Revelation 17:1 describes a prostitute sitting on the scarlet beast with seven heads and ten horns. The prostitute (the false church) therefore sits upon Satan himself. 

The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations.” And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. (Revelation 17:4-6). 

Not without good reason, the woman/prostitute described above is identified as the Roman Catholic Church in many commentaries. There is no other church, religion or institution that has such a "bloody" history as of the Papal Church of Rome. {2} The Latin phrase "Sancta Mater Ecclesia" (Holy Mother Church), is sometimes employed to describe the Roman Catholic Church. The ecumenical agenda of many apostate denominations, including the NAR, is the vehicle through which Rome's "daughters", whom they refer to as "separated brethren", are being sucked into the vortex of spiritual prostitution and ultimate destruction. (Revelation 18:4).

This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while. (Revelation 17:9-10). The phrase: Here is a call for wisdom (Revelation 13:8), seems related to the number of the beast, 666.

Seven heads can be accounted for as follows: John wrote Revelation in approximately 95 AD. At that particular time, five world empires had fallen, Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece. The one in existence in John's time was Rome, "one is", and the other not yet come will be the Antichrist kingdom. {3}

..the ten horns are ten kings who will rise from this kingdom. After them another king, different from the earlier ones, will rise and subdue three kings. (Daniel 7:24).

And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast. These are of one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast.(Revelation 17:12-13).The ten kings of Revelation 17 have not yet risen to power, but they will each attain a kingdom in the future, for one hour.. i.e. a short space of time (Revelation 17:10). The ten kings will form a confederacy and rule together with the beast until they hand over their power and authority to him.

Many scholars refer to the European Union as the key to end time prophecy. I think that this is correct since "revived Rome" dominates end time prophecy. The historical position of the church is that the Antichrist will arise out of a revived Roman Empire. However, since the ten kings rule over the earth (Revelation 17:1-2), there appears to be a wider application than the EU. We see that the woman (revived Rome) rules over the ten kings: And the woman that you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth.” (Revelation 17:18). The woman will have temporary control over the ten kings, but in reality they hate her and they will ultimately turn on her and destroy her. (Revelation 17:1,16-17).

Daniel 7:7-8 refers to "a little horn" with human like traits:

It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things. (Daniel 7:7-8,11, 20; Revelation 13:5). The eighth king is the person/entity that needs our attention: As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction. (Revelation 17:11).

The scriptures refer to the Antichrist as the first of two beasts. The fist beast arises from the sea, representing peoples and multitudes and nations and languages. (Revelation 17:15). The beast rising out of the earth is identified as "the false prophet" (Revelation 19:20), suggesting a "religious" aspect, as against the political aspect of the first beast. (Revelation 13:1, 11). The beast from the abyss (Revelation 11:7) is essentially identical to the beast from the sea (Revelation 13:7). This gives rise to the question: Is the Antichrist actually fully human? Just as Jesus Christ is 100% man and 100% God, so the Antichrist may be 100% man and 100% demonic. The Antichrist will emerge as the man of lawlessness (the son of perdition). (Daniel 11:36, 37; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). The dragon (Satan) will give him his authority. (Revelation 13:4 cf. Luke 4:6).

The Club of Rome was created in 1968 and consists of current and former heads of state, UN bureaucrats, high-level politicians and government officials, diplomats, scientists, economists, and business leaders from around the globe. In 1973 the Club of Rome published a report entitled “Regionalized and Adaptive Model of the Global World System”, stating its intention to divide the world into ten economic/political regions. Significantly, the United Nations and the Club of Rome have identified ten regions as ten “kingdoms”.

The Ten Kingdoms of the New World Government:

Kingdom 1: Canada and the United States of America

Kingdom 2: European Union - Western Europe.

Kingdom 3: Japan

Kingdom 4: Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Israel and Pacific Islands

Kingdom 5: Eastern Europe

Kingdom 6: Latin America - Mexico, Central and South America

Kingdom 7: North Africa and the Middle East (Muslims)

Kingdom 8: Central Africa

Kingdom 9: South and Southeast Asia

Kingdom 10: Central Asia

For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. (1 Corinthians 13:9-12).

THE ABUSIVE JESUS ARMY CULT: MORE ANTICS COME TO LIGHT!

SPECIAL REPORT: Jesus Army workers facing large pensions gap because church did not pay their National Insurance

By Paul Lynch

Northampton Chronicle and Echo

8th August 2019

Ian and Jeannie Johnson are calling for National Insurance contributions

 to be paid back to former Jesus Army members.

Dozens of former Jesus Army (JA) residents who toiled day and night to look after one of the organisation’s many communal houses are facing having to take reduced pensions – as their elders chose not to pay their National Insurance.

In May, the Christian sect formed in Bugbrooke announced plans to disband following a wave of abuse allegations – exclusively revealed to be more than 100-strong by this newspaper back in 2017.

                       Preacher Noel Stanton set up the religious sect throughout the 1970s.

A group of ex-members known as the Jesus Fellowship Survivors Association are leading an effort to see those abused sexually, physically, financially and spiritually compensated by the church.

But among those making claims against the church are people who looked after the communal Jesus Army houses around the country – many of which were in Northampton.

The church made part of its revenue through a number of business ventures – such as a large potato farm in Nether Heyford and a building services contractor. Several ex-members who worked on the farm as children have described the work as ‘slave labour’ as they did not actually receive a wage, it was ploughed into the common purse.

The so-called employees had their National Insurance contributions paid by the church elders.

New Creation Farm in Nether Heyford, where many of the Jesus Army members lived in a secluded community.

But the Chronicle & Echo has now learned that dozens of members who maintained the church’s many communal houses did not have those contributions paid for a number of years – as they were not originally classed as having a job.

Often their daily life involved long, strenuous hours catering for up to 30 housemates at a time. In the 1980s it was agreed that they should, in fact, be classed as workers.

But for many there had already been a significant gap in their National Insurance contributions.

Ian Johnson founded the JA’s Goodness Foods bakery in Daventry only to leave during the 1980s out of principle. His wife Jeannie was among those affected.

                             The entire Jesus Army estate is said to be worth close to 60 million.

“For people, we know this has had a dramatic effect,” he said.

“One person I know is 70 and has had to get an extra job because of the shortage in their pension. My wife should have been paid another five years’ worth of contributions. That would have been at about £1,000 a year. That’s a lot of money.

“I know of at least four people this is affecting and there could be dozens more.”

Mr Johnson, 70, who now runs a successful lettings business on Crete, has urged the Jesus Army to fill in the National Insurance payment gaps for the communal house workers.

“People that lived in the communes were basically being looked after as if they lived in a hotel.”

These workers should have been classed as employees.”

Mr Johnson is calling on the Jesus Army to make up the pension shortfall as part of the ongoing redress scheme but he says the organisation is yet to give him firm answers on whether this will be the case.

There are currently more than 100 claims being made against the religious sect – papers seen by the Chronicle and Echo show its asset value to be about £58 million.

The Jesus Army still owns 55 properties, according to the leaked papers. Many of the properties are communal houses – though there are currently only 200 people believed to still be living in them.

The Jesus Army Battlecentre in London is listed as being worth £13 million ‘dependant on planning caveats’.

Mr Johnson believes the Jesus Army – a registered charity aimed at helping the needy – has a moral duty to compensate the commune workers.

“People who lived in the communes were basically being looked after as if they lived in a hotel,” he said. “These workers should have been classed as employees.”

A spokesman for the Jesus Army said the redress scheme would “soon be open to sympathetically deal with the claims of people who consider that they had a bad experience in connection with the church.”

He said that extended to “people with money concerns” such as those whose National Insurance contributions were not paid.

The Jesus Fellowship Survivors Association is working with the church to compensate victims of abuse. A spokeswoman said: “We have heard, and are still hearing, many stories like Ian’s.

"We are pushing hard for restitution of financial harm to be included alongside a redress scheme being set up in conjunction with the JFCT (Jesus Fellowship Community Trust).

"As part of this involvement, we are putting pressure on the JFCT to do the right thing, morally, regarding financial redress for adults.

“Whilst working with the redress scheme we are also working with solicitors to bring group civil actions.”

CHE AHN CONFERENCE: ST JOHN THE BAPTIST CHURCH LEICESTER MAY 2019

St John the Baptist C of E Church Leicester
Friday 17th and 18th May: Ché Ahn Revival Night and Conference
Organised by Holy Trinity Church
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/revival-night-with-che-ahn-tickets-59413580619

The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) continues to make a negative impact on biblical Christianity here in Leicester. Of particular note are Holy Trinity Church Leicester (CofE), All Nations Church Leicester and Trinity Life Church Leicester (AOG Pentecostal). (Romans 16:17). The NAR is a large network of ecumenical churches that has developed out of the Pentecostal/charismatic movement. Its main aim is to restore the so called "five fold ministry" i.e. the restoration of church governance, namely the office of Apostle and Prophet to the 21st century church. This aim is linked to the "seven mountain mandate" aka "dominion theology", the NAR's pro active efforts to bring about a worldwide revival and establish a one world church on the earth prior to the return of Jesus. In actuality the NAR scenario represents the rule of the Antichrist. (Revelation 13:12). At its core, the NAR denies the sufficiency of scripture whilst reversing the biblical warnings of an end time falling away. (Matthew 24:10; Acts 20:29).

Ché Ahn is a big name within this movement. He is the successor of C Peter Wagner, the purported founder of the NAR and President of Global Harvest Ministries from 1993 to 2011. Ché Ahn is the Senior Pastor of "apostolic center" HRock Church in Pasadena CA and also the Founder and "Presiding Apostle" over Harvest International Ministry, an "apostolic network" of over 25,000 churches and ministries worldwide. Ché Ahn: "I have been given the unique opportunity to be an apostle to apostles. This is because of the specific anointing of God on my life." {1}

As "Presiding Apostle", Ché Ahn has a position of unique authority over the direction of the thousands of churches under his jurisdiction. This differs drastically from the New Testament model of church structure as outlined by the Apostle Paul. The newly formed New Testament churches were autonomous congregations with a plurality of local overseers directing their own specific affairs. Paul instructed Titus to ..appoint elders in every town as I directed you. (Titus 1:5; cf. Acts 14:23). NAR apostles and prophets claim to have power to overrule pastors and elders because of their claims to receive direct revelation from God.

Ché Ahn met the pope in 2016 with other NAR leaders

According to Ché Ahn: " The 1994 revival in Toronto restored the office of the apostle with the birth of many apostolic networks, including John and Carol Arnott’s Partners in Harvest, Rick Joyner’s MorningStar, Bill Johnson’s Global Legacy, Heidi and Rolland Baker’s Iris Ministries and our church’s own Harvest International Ministry.” {2}

During the so called "Lakeland Revival" in 2008, 32 year old deceiver and NAR "evangelist" Todd Bentley took part in an "Alignment Ceremony", during which "apostles" Ché Ahn, Bill Johnson and John Arnott laid hands on him. C Peter Wagner presided over the ceremony and read a lengthy statement about the need for apostolic alignment, i.e. submission to the authority of "apostles". Various "apostles" representing ICA, Revival Alliance, and Morning Star (Rick Joiner) stood on the platform to demonstrate their support for Bentley. Just days after this bizarre ceremony, Todd Bentley was exposed as an adulterer. None of the numerous miracles and healings that were reported to have taken place at Lakeland, including raising from the dead, can be verified! Despite the obvious issues, Ché Ahn and his dubious associates continue to claim apostolic authority over large sections of the church, and incredibly they are accepted as such by many! The Todd Bentley Fakeland fiasco hardly needs recounting in detail, it has been very well documented.

Apostolic Authority Based on Ephesians 4:11-13.

11And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 12to equip (καταρτισμὸν) the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.

C Peter Wagner translated katartizō: "Aligning. literally setting a broken bone or a chiropractic adjustment.. That means putting things in order so that the body functions as it was designed to function." 

Strong's translation: 2675 katartízō (from 2596 /katá, "according to, down," intensifying artizō, "to adjust," which is derived from 739 /ártios, "properly adjusted") – properly, exactly fit (adjust) to be in good working order, i.e. adjusted exactly "down" to fully function. {3}

Wagner's translation was not incorrect, apart from the fact that he related it to the restoration of present day "apostles". My contention is that these present day "apostles and prophets" deviate from the original foundation that was set up by Jesus Christ. In Bill Johnson's words, they go "off map", i.e. they claim that God communicates new revelations directly through them. In this way, they contradict Jesus' apostles teaching as set out in the scriptures. In doing so they invalidate themselves as sound biblical teachers. (1 John 4:1).

Che Ahn: "When I use the term modern-day apostle, I am not comparing today’s apostles with the apostles of yesteryear. I am highlighting the fact that apostles are not relegated to yesteryear. They not only exist today, they play a critical role in bringing about revival and reformation." {4}

Typically, Che Ahn puts himself on a par with the original apostles, but this contradicts the foundation already laid:

19So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. (Ephesians 2:19-22).

11For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13each one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.

St John the Baptist Church (CofE) is the latest of the churches in Leicester to fall foul of the New Apostolic Reformation. St John's ties with Holy Trinity Church in Leicester appears to be responsible for the shift. In late 2014, a team of people from Holy Trinity Leicester joined St John's to "strengthen the church’s mission and ministry." {5}

Suffice to say that St John's run the Alpha Course which has been described as an attempt to introduce the false doctrines and practices of the Third Wave into mainstream denominations. {6}

St John's Head of Logistics is Adam Simmonds, the much criticised former PCC of Northamptonshire, whose overspending and unwholesome policies have pretty much all been reversed by his successor, Stephen Mold. {7}

Simmonds was also the Director and Trustee of Trinity Life Church in Leicester from January 2013 – April 2014. As part of my exposé of TLC's unbiblical practices, I wrote a number of posts about Simmonds' toxic influence over the weak minded apostate leaders of that church. {8}
