JACOB PRASCH: INTRA-SEAL HOOLIGAN!

Debunked: Jacob Prasch’s claim that the Holy Spirit will be absent from the world during the 70^th week of Daniel.

Intra-Seal and the Church in Smyrna.

And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: “The words of the first and the last, who died and came to life.

“‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will not be hurt by the second death.” (Revelation 2:8-11),

According to Jacob Prasch, the church in Smyrna (Revelation 2) is a picture of the “powerless church” minus the Holy Spirit during the tribulation. Smyrna is Ionic Greek for myrrh, the expensive spice used to make perfume for anointing the dead amongst other things.

There may be some valid comparisons to be made between Smyrna and the persecuted church during the great tribulation, but an argument cannot be made for the absence of the Holy Spirit! The church in Smyrna existed during the dreadful persecution of the Emperor Domitian (AD 81-96), when the Holy Spirit was very much present. Doesn't this so called "powerlessness" in worldly terms indicate that the gospel will go out with even more power in the Holy Spirit? (2 Corinthians 12:10).

The Ten and the Forty

Prasch: “Forty is the number of testing when the test comes from God. Ten is the number of testing when it is not from God. God may allow it for His purpose. In Daniel’s day Israel was tested at the hands of the Babylonians. In Smyrna believers in Jesus were tested at the hands of the Romans and the Pagans. When the test comes NOT from God, the number is ten.” 1

Prasch has based his tenuous argument for “the ten and the forty” on one short excerpt of scripture from Daniel 1. He has linked the ten days tribulation in Smyrna with Daniel 1:8-16, specifically, verses 12 and 14, where the period of ten days is repeated three times.

Prasch: “Then there is this period of ten days. It says it four times. Explicitly three times, and then it refers to it as ‘the end of the days’ the fourth time..... Then at the end of the days which the king had specified for presenting them, the commander of the officials presented them before Nebuchadnezzar. (At the end of the ten days.)” 1

The phrase: “the end of ten days” appears once in verse 15, and “ten days” appears twice in verses 12 and 14. Prasch's assumption that the phrase “the end of the days” in Daniel 1:18 relates specifically to the end of the ten days is false. Verse 18 does not refer to the end of the literal ten days at all; in fact it refers to the end of the three year period specified by Nebuchadnezzar, see Daniel 1:5. The omission of the word “ten” in verse 18 is inserted by Prasch in order to fit in with his “end of the (ten) days” tribulation theory.

But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself. 9And God gave Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the chief of the eunuchs, 10and the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who assigned your food and your drink; for why should he see that you were in worse condition than the youths who are of your own age? So you would endanger my head with the king.” 11Then Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had assigned over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 12“Test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13Then let our appearance and the appearance of the youths who eat the king’s food be observed by you, and deal with your servants according to what you see.” 14So he listened to them in this matter, and tested them for ten days. 15At the end of ten days it was seen that they were better in appearance and fatter in flesh than all the youths who ate the king’s food. 16So the steward took away their food and the wine they were to drink, and gave them vegetables. 17As for these four youths, God gave them learning and skill in all literature and wisdom, and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. 18At the end of the time, when the king had commanded that they should be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. (Daniel 1:8-18). 

There are several anomalies associated with Prasch’s suspect exegesis of “the ten and the forty” and the meaning of “ten days” in biblical typology. He makes the assumption that we always read Daniel in light of Revelation. This is true of the prophetic material found in Daniel, but the context of Daniel 1 is historical and not prophetic. Furthermore the context of Daniel 1 does not match Revelation in the sense that Prasch teaches. The ten days that Daniel and his companions were tested was not a period of tribulation, much less the terrors of the persecution that took place in Smyrna. Although they had been taken into captivity, God gave Daniel favour and compassion in the sight of the chief of the eunuchs. (Daniel 1:9). Christ tells the believers in Smyrna “be faithful to death..” - this was not the case with Daniel who invited the test (v 12). The ten days that the Christians in Smyrna were to be tested was, in my view, a literal ten days, whereas the great tribulation goes on for 3.5 years (cut short). (Matthew 24:22).

When we come across the words test, trial and tribulation, we do need to look at the context. A test, peirazó, is to test or to tempt, whereas tribulation, usually, but not always, goes a stage further, thlipsis in this case. Revelation 2 uses both words in relation to Smyrna. Daniel 1 (Hebrew nasah) has the same meaning as peirazó prove, tempt, try.[2] The word “test” (nasah) in Daniel 1:12 is frequently used of God in relation to men, as in Genesis 22:1. God did prove Abraham.

Apart from Daniel 1, ten days are specifically mentioned in the scriptures in Nehemiah 5:18, Genesis 24:55; Jeremiah 42:7. Ten relates to God’s authority over human government and law, as in Exodus 20:1-17; Deuteronomy 5:6-21; 1 Kings 11:31-35; Ruth 4:2). Ten also represents human government under the influence of Satan e.g. the ten toes of iron and clay (Daniel 2:42), and the beast with ten horns (Revelation 10:24; 13:1 17:12). “Ten is viewed as a complete and perfect number, as is 3, 7 and 12. It is made up of 4, the number of the physical creation, the number of man. As such, it signifies testimony, law, responsibility and the completeness of order.” [3] The forty can be justified, since there are many instances of forty (not necessarily days) associated with testing, but not so with the ten. Daniel 1 actually fits into the ten day paradigm perfectly. Nebuchadnezzar, a type of the Antichrist, seeks to impose his unrighteous will upon the faithful believers who are his captives. However, Daniel and his companions prove the government of God over the government under the influence of Satan over a period of ten days, and indeed ultimately. The king’s "choice food" is unfit for consumption by the people of God.. there is much symbolism here, but tribulation is excluded.

I think that the argument to link the persecution during the tribulation specifically with ten days is dishonest, as is the argument to link ten with persecution not directly from God. Once again we have eisegesis and not exegesis from Prasch. Prasch is a clever man and he has built up a following over the years. This makes him very dangerous as he holds a position of trust in the eyes of some. The bible admonishes us to be careful to study the scriptures for ourselves and to test the spirits.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. (1 John 4:1).

Hooligan

Abstain from all appearance of evil. (1 Thessalonians 5:22 KJV)

When Jacob Prasch identified himself as a “hooligan” recently, he almost seemed to be inviting derision. It seems very strange that a bible teacher would have such a negative word emblazoned across his clothing.

The definition of “hooligan” is altogether negative.

Hooliganism is disruptive or unlawful behaviour such as rioting, bullying and vandalism. 

It is also a word that is linked to thuggish behaviour and lawlessness.

Many theories abound about the source of the noun hooligan, but it appears to have been derived from the Irish name O’Hooligan:

“London newspapers in April and May 1894 carried reports of a case at Southwark Police Court in South London where it was said that Charles Clarke, aged 19, was charged with assault on police, was:

‘the king of a gang of youths known as the 'Hooligan Boys'.

The gang had attended a music hall and created a disturbance which resulted in the Police being called and the gang's arrest. At the later remand hearing a newspaper repeated that allegation, but referred to the ‘O'Hooligan Boys’.

The next month, two other youths were brought before Lambeth Police Court for threatening behaviour. They were described as members of the gang known as ‘the Hooligan Boys’.

The problem of gangs of youths in the Lambeth area appears to have been a big problem for in October 1894 the Illustrated Police News reported that local tradesmen were organising a deputation to send to the Home Secretary as police needed support in ‘their efforts to stamp-out the so-called 'hooligan' gangs of roughs’.[4]

If Prasch wants to be identified with hooliganism then who am I to argue? Certainly I could not think of a better word to describe his treatment of the scriptures.

Prasch is also fond of publicly displaying the alleged symbol of Israel, the satanic hexagram. Actually the introduction of the occult Star of David aka the Seal of Solomon was Rothschild's doing in the 19th century. The Illuminati have much to do with the Israeli national symbol, as I am sure Prasch knows full well!

THE INTRA-SEAL RAPTURE DECEPTION EXPOSED: FINAL TRANSCRIPT PUBLISHED

I have been working on this project for some months in an attempt to present all the arguments against Intra-Seal together in one place. The final transcript has been uploaded onto Amazon as it is too long for a blog post. My existing Intra-Seal posts are virtual excerpts from the publication and they will remain on the blog. At this point in time, my arguments are as exhaustive as I can manage, though perhaps there will be more to say on this subject in the future. I have priced the publication at the minimal cost available on Amazon: $0.99.

Some new insights into Intra-Seal are included which bring further clarity to the inherent problems associated with this deceptive teaching. Those of Prasch’s supporters who say that this question is not important need to think again. Prasch would preclude the Gentiles from hearing the everlasting gospel (Revelation 14:6) during the 70th week of Daniel, and he would abandon them to a lost eternity! In a different sense to pretribulationism, the lethal outcome of Intra-Seal is that souls may be lost due to another faulty eschatological teaching that has its roots in Darbyism.


The Intra-Seal Rapture Deception Exposed   
As devised and taught by Jacob Prasch
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06X6N2JJT

Below is the description I have uploaded to Amazon:

The purpose of the publication is to expose Jacob Prasch’s systematic denial of the gospel and the ministry of the Holy Spirit during the 70th week of Daniel. 

The Intra-Seal theory is relatively new in the world of rapture theories. Jacob Prasch seems to have brought it into the public domain at around the time he wrote his book “Shadows of the Beast” in 2011.

The timing of the rapture is a highly contentious subject amongst premillennialists, some even go so far as to suggest that if you do not believe their particular view, then you are not a genuine Christian. My aim is not to alienate those who believe a different view to myself, though no doubt this publication will offend some people. The truth is often offensive when it conflicts with our presuppositions. The Apostle Paul asked the Galatian Church: “Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth?” (Galatians 4:16).

The main flaw of pretribulationism is the timing of the rapture. All other pre-trib scriptural errors flow from this basic misconception. In contrast to pretribulationism, the problems surrounding Intra-Seal are not associated with the timing of the rapture at all, rather Intra-Seal is an attack upon the gospel itself, and as such I view it is a highly dangerous deception.

I have attempted to unravel the various false assertions of the Intra-Seal theory and compare them with the scriptures as follows: 

• Eschatology: The apostasy and the Man of Lawlessness in Bible prophecy.
• The identity of the restrainer of 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 defies an unequivocal position.
• Evidence that the restrainer is the Archangel Michael.
• When precisely is the restrainer taken out of the way?
• The murky history of the pre-tribulation rapture theory.
• A summary of the Intra-Seal deception.
• Two interim periods… The invalid parallel between the 70th week of Daniel and the period between the resurrection of Jesus Christ and Pentecost.
• The reversal of Pentecost as Prasch relates it to the 70th week of Daniel.
• Is the metaphor of “the night” relevant to the period between the resurrection of Jesus Christ and Pentecost?
• The invalid comparison between the tribulation saints and the church in Smyrna.
• The seven spirits of God - the omnipresence of the Holy Spirit.
• Birth Pains as defined in the gospel of John are a defective eschatological motif. (John 16:16-24).
• Does “The Shattering Of The Power Of The Holy People” refer to Israel or the church?
• Does the Age of Grace come to an end during the 70th week of Daniel?
• The recapitulation of the seven plagues and their timing.
• The timing of the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11:1-14.
• More Intra-Seal errors: Michael and the term katechó (restrainer).
• Further issues: Prasch’s maniacal handling of the 70th week of Daniel.
• Why does it matter? Intra-Seal is much more than a timing issue.
• God is not the author of confusion. (1 Corinthians 14:33).
• Conclusion: Can we reasonably write off the gospel and the ministry of the Holy Spirit during the 70th week of Daniel?                   
  
  

GEORGE O WOOD: ASSEMBLIES OF GOD ECUMENICAL CORRUPTION NOW REACHING CRITICALITY!!!

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ (Matthew 7:21-23)

Dr. George O Wood, General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God (AG) Pentecostal denomination is said to be as important to the AOG as the Pope is to Roman Catholicism. The Assemblies of God was formed out of the Pentecostal revival of the early 20th century, and was characterised by supposed manifestations of the Holy Spirit. Many people may have come to genuine saving faith through the Assemblies of God churches since its formation. However, there have been major problems associated with a number of AG "ministries" and their dubious practices. The AG have spawned many false prophets and questionable TV evangelists, including Benny Hinn, Morris Cerullo, Jim Bakker, Paul Crouch and Jimmy Swaggart to name but a few. Derek Prince who played a major role in the disastrous Shepherding Movement and taught the false doctrine that Christians are subject to generational curses was AG.{1} The infamous Hillsong is affiliated with Australian Christian Churches (AG in Australia). The counterfeit Toronto Blessing (Laughing Revival) at Toronto Airport Vineyard was a direct result of John Arnott's visit to Argentina in November 1993 where Claudio Freidzon, an Assemblies of God evangelist, prayed the "anointing" over him. The Toronto movement was also heavily infuenced by Benny Hinn. The counterfeit Brownsville Revival was the long running "outpouring" at Brownsville Assemblies of God in Pensacola, Florida. Both these so called "revivals" were blighted by a wide range of unscriptural practices. The progressive corruption of the AG plainly indicates that true revival will not come from that quarter.

The AG has grown to over 67 million members worldwide and is the largest Pentecostal Fellowship in the world.{2} That is 67 million souls who are at direct risk of spiritual deception through the ecumenical spirit of Antichrist! George O Wood showed his true ecumenical colours in July of last year when he attended Together 2016, an event endorsed by the Pope in Washington DC. This event was specifically engineered to unite Roman Catholics and various so called "Christian" denominations. Together 2016 formed part of the false unity amongst ecumenicals "Great Awakening", a phrase stolen from the series of revivals among Protestants in the American colonies during the 1700's. The ecumenical counterfeit "awakening" puts darkness for light and evil for good. (Isaiah 5:20). Speakers and performers included Francis Chan, Ravi Zacharias, Lou Engle, Christine Caine, Southern Baptist Convention President Ronnie Floyd, Michael W. Smith, Hillsong United, Lecrae, Jeremy Camp, Lauren Daigle, Casting Crowns and Kirk Franklin, amongst others.{3} Wood's promotion of contemplative New Age guru Ruth Haley Barton raised a red flag in 2013.{4}

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is the largest Lutheran denomination in the US. The Reformation was of course a single and divisive historical event based on scriptural principles. The ELCA have been progressively hurtling towards spiritual disaster for a number of years. The Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification was agreed and hailed as a “breakthrough” between the Roman Catholics and the Lutheran Church in 1999. The process of betraying the gospel of Jesus Christ and undoing everything that Luther and the Reformers achieved is now reaching its final stage, the Reformation having been watered down to "a 500 year shared journey".{5} The Lutheran World Federation and The Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity have released a joint document titled “From Conflict to Communion" in order to facilitate the Lutheran-Catholic Common Commemoration of the Reformation.{6} 

"NEW ORLEANS (Aug.10, 2016) – The 2016 Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) Churchwide Assembly took several significant steps Wednesday moving forward the mission of this church as a church for the sake of the world."   (emphasis mine-John 18:36!!!)
"By a vote of 931 to 9, the assembly overwhelmingly accepted the "Declaration on the Way," a unique ecumenical document that marks a path toward greater unity between Catholics and Lutherans. Following the vote, an emotional assembly stood to applaud the momentous decision. At the heart of the document are 32 "Statements of Agreement" that state where Lutherans and Catholics do not have church-dividing differences on topics about church, ministry and the Eucharist. More tentatively, the document also explores differences that remain."{7}

What has been achieved by the Reformation and the blood of the martyrs is being destroyed by worthless leaders, hirelings who do not care for the flock (John 10:13). Luther would be horrified by these ecumenical developments! Wood now seems set to steer the AG onto an irreversible course towards criticality. He is scheduled to join an international gathering of Christian leaders at The Wittenberg Summit in Germany in October/November this year, Luther 2017, the event that celebrates the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther nailing his 95 Theses to the door of All Saints Church.{8} Wood will be sharing a platform with co-host Leonard Sweet. Sweet is a significant player in the emerging church/New Spirituality movement and is a New Age sympathiser. Social gospel promoter, Dr. Jo Anne Lyon, General Superintendent of the Wesleyan Church will also be attending the event. In 2015 Lyon was appointed by Barack Obama to serve on the President’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.{9} "She also has signed many documents with the usual suspects and their names on it – Rick Warren, Bill and Lynn Hybels, Tony Campolo, Jim Wallis, Ron Sider, and the like."{10}

The Roman Catholic Church maintains that the Council of Trent still remains authoritative, binding dogma, and thus their position remains exactly the same as it always has i.e. faith obtained through the sacraments and not the biblical principles upheld by Luther: 

• Sola Fide, by faith alone.
• Sola Scriptura, by Scripture alone.
• Solus Christus, through Christ alone.
• Sola Gratia, by grace alone.
• Soli Deo Gloria, glory to God alone.

In complete contradiction to the scriptures, the Roman Catholic Church violates and comes between true faith and Jesus Christ, the only mediator between God and man. (1 Timothy 2:5).

The Council of Trent Is The Roman Catholic Catechism
The General Council of Trent (1545 -1563) is said to be the embodiment of the Counter Reformation: The Council of Trent made pronouncements on justification, the seven sacraments, the Catholic Eucharist, the nature of the Latin Mass, Transubstantiation, the sacraments of Catholic Penance, Extreme Unction, Marriage and Holy Orders, and numerous other topics of doctrine and discipline.

Canon IX: If anyone says that the ungodly is justified by faith alone in such a way that he understands that nothing else is required which cooperates toward obtaining the grace of justification . . . let him be condemned.
Canon XII: If anyone says that justifying faith is nothing else than trust in divine mercy, which remits sin for Christ’s sake, or that it is this trust alone by which we are justified, let him be condemned.
Canon XIV: If anyone says that a man is absolved and justified because . . . he confidently believes that he is absolved and justified . . . and that through this faith alone absolution and justification is effected, let him be condemned.

George O Wood "Shares his (worthless) thoughts" in a short video made in 2012: 
https://player.vimeo.com/video/64909891
*Wood trots out the lie that six different groups calling themselves "Christian" are all true representations of Christianity: ".....The Greek Orthodox, the Roman Catholics, the Assyrian, the Coptic, the Ethiopian and the Armenian, and they cannot agree amongst themselves....." Whilst it is possible that there may be some true born again believers amongst these denominations, the denominations themselves do not represent the truth as found in the scriptures. Wood therefore bases his whole argument on a false premise!
*Wood quotes an Orthodox Jew who observed: "You Christians cannot get your message across because you have so many differences. Your Jesus is the only one who has said 'Love your enemies' , but you don't follow your Jesus....."  Scripturally those who do not follow Jesus are not his disciples: Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:27).  
*Wood condemns divisions in the church, but the scriptures say that there must be divisions:
.....for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognised. (1 Corinthians 11:19).  
*Wood comes against free expression on the Internet, the minority who "air their views" in opposition to the course that he and other ecumenicals have determined. In other words, he seeks to diminish the credibility of those who maintain the scriptural position. Wood exalts himself above those who speak the Word of God.. there is nothing new under the sun. (Matthew 23:8-12; Ecclesiastes 1:9) 
*Wood continues in his folly and trots out a scripture out of context:  By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:35). The inclusivism that Wood talks about is not found in the scriptures. The differences between true believers and the Roman Catholic Church and other false denominations are core differences and anything but minor as Wood would have us believe! To embrace the Roman Catholic Church is to deny the gospel of Jesus Christ - it is that serious:  .....what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14).   
*Wood "forgets" to remind us of some critical truths about "vicious wolves":
I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. (Acts 20:29-30)
*Wood also "forgets" to point out that love and truth are inseparable. (2 John 1:1; John 8:32). Unity depends upon truth... without truth there is no real love, just wishy washy emotional doctrineless ecumenism.

We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ..... (2 Corinthians 10:5)

To summarise, George O Wood makes a very pretty sounding little speech, but it is devoid of spiritual wisdom.

By engaging in spiritual formation, Wood goes specifically against the AOG Statement of Faith:

".....salvation is received through repentance towards God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ."  {11}

"The scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21)." {11}

Pope Francis assures atheists: "You don’t have to believe in God to go to heaven." {12}

The Roman Catholic Church gives authority to the scriptures, the pope, the church, and certain traditions of the church: "Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honoured with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence.^"{13}

Although the AG pose as an authentic "Christian" denomination, it is extremely doubtful whether the birth of Pentecostalism and the Charismatic Movement resulted from a genuine move of the Holy Spirit. The Church of God in Christ, The Assemblies of God, The United Pentecostal Church (UPCI) and The Pentecostal Church of God all have their roots in the problematic Azusa Street Revival: 

"There is no question, Azusa street meetings had spiritualist mediums, hypnotists, and others who were interested in the occult.  It was known that Parham who taught Seymour rejected several of the central tenets of the Christian faith." {14} 

I am convinced that the AG is completely riddled with leaven. (Galatians 5:9). The very heart of the Reformation has received a blow from which it is unlikely to recover. The vital teachings of Jesus Christ have been set aside and biblical faith is crumbling before our very eyes. George O Wood is the man who will be held responsible by God for the Pentecostal betrayal. (2 Peter 2:1-3).

My local AG branch, Trinity Life Church Leicester UK, operates under the ungodly stranglehold of Hind family and their sycophants who care nothing for the scriptures. (Galatians 1:10; 1 Thessalonians 2:4). Trinity Life Church is a striking example of how not to oversee a church.{15} Already suffering from spiritual blindness due to a progression of serious departures from the scriptures, incredibly, TLC have now gone one better; they blatantly display the number of the beast 666! (John 3:20){16} You could not make this stuff up!

Jesus' warning continues to ring out against Babylon the Great, the woman dressed in purple and scarlet. (Revelation 17:4): 

“Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues;
for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
Pay her back as she herself has paid back others, and repay her double for her deeds;
mix a double portion for her in the cup she mixed.
As she glorified herself and lived in luxury so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,‘I sit as a queen, I am no widow, and mourning I shall never see.’
For this reason her plagues will come in a single day, death and mourning and famine,
and she will be burned up with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”
(Revelation 18:4-8)

Dispensationalism: Occult Roots.. from Liberty to the Captives

The links below give explicit examples of John Nelson Darby's occult roots in Theosophy, and the critical similarities between his writings and those of Satanist Helena Blavatsky.
http://www.libertytothecaptives.net/darby_version_corrupt_methodically.html

Dispensationalism: Occult Roots In this series the term "Dispensationalism" refers to the theological system invented in the 1830's by Plymouth Brethren founder, John Nelson Darby (Nov. 18, 1800 — April 29, 1882). While there may be controversy over whether he was the first person to conceive of the pre-tribulation rapture and two distinct peoples of God doctrines, it is certain he played a huge role in systematizing and promoting dispensational theology. His doctrines are found in C. I. Scofield's Old Scofield Study Bible—copyright 1909 and 1917 and are the foundation for other dispensational works. This series of charts and articles is published to make you aware that J.N. Darby marked his bible translation, The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby, and his theological writings with Theosophical/occult vocabulary and doctrines. John Nelson Darby: Closet Theosophist?

Proviso: The material from "Liberty to the Captives" concerning Dispensationalism is very useful. However I hold the pre-millennial view.. that is to say that I do not concur with preterism. A useful discussion, and an excerpt from BW Newton on this subject can be read on the comments to this post below.

TRINITY LIFE CHURCH LEICESTER: SATANISM AND THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST 666!!!

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,
who put darkness for light and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20)

666 The Number Of The Beast (Greek: Ἀριθμὸς τοῦ θηρίου, Arithmos tou Thēriou).

In most manuscripts of the New Testament, 666 is the term in the Book of Revelation which identifies the Antichrist i.e. the first beast in the Book of Revelation 13:15-18:

And it (the second beast/false prophet) was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.

THREE VULNERABLE GIRLS.. THREE SIXES!!!

If you visit TLC's Coffee House at 108 London Road Leicester (I do not recommend it) you will not miss the three sixes not even hidden in plain sight - do they even care if we know? A close examination of the logo of the Coffee House reveals various layers of occult symbolism as I have explained in a previous post.{1}  

IF the choice of this diabolical name was, by some chance of unbelievable ignorance, a TERRIBLE mistake on the part of TLC, then why haven't they done something to change it? David Hind, the so called "pastor" of Trinity Life Church, his family and associates cannot claim ignorance! They DO definitely know what 666 stands for and all the implications that go with it. It has
been spelled out enough times to them on this site if not elsewhere!

Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? (Luke 6:46 cf. Matthew 7:21-23; James 1:22)
 

THREE SIXES AGAIN!

TLC say that the profits from their Coffee House go directly to the work of Open Hands Trust in Leicester. Open Hands received a huge cash injection through the Big Lottery Fund in 2012. This in itself should have raised a huge red flag, since to apply for and receive lottery funding is to officially bind themselves to “believe and abide by secular equality values." {2} In other words, throw your Bible away!!! TLC/Open Hands have agreed to comply with political correctness and all of its unchristian facets.. not to mention the ethical implications of profiting from gambling!

The world loves it own. (John 15:19). Open Hands have gone from strength to strength in worldly terms, and they have expanded dramatically since they received their thirty pieces of silver. (Zechariah 11:12; Matthew 26:15, 27:9). 

.. the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule at their direction; my people love to have it so, but what will you do when the end comes? (Jeremiah 5:31).

666 has numerous negative connotations. It has been a motif in various horror films such as The Omen and its 2006 remake. The number of the beast also appears in other films such as Pulp Fiction, The Doom Generation, End of Days, Bedazzled and The Phantom of the Opera. Many demonically inspired rock groups sport this number, for instance: Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Marilyn Manson etc.

Rock star and ordained "reverend" in the Church of Satan Marilyn Manson:"Hopefully, I’ll be remembered as the person who brought an end to Christianity." {3}

The Temple of Set
There are six degrees of membership for initiates into the Temple of Set, an occult initiatory order founded in 1975 which is sometimes identified as a form of Satanism. Set was an ancient Egyptian deity which represented Satan or Saturn.

"Michael Aquino joined the Church of Satan in 1969, while he was in the US Army as a psychological operations specialist. Aquino became a priest in the Church in 1970, and was promoted to the level of Magister IV°, the highest ranking below High Priest (held by C of S founder Anton LaVey). In 1975, LaVey made a decision to sell priesthoods in the Church of Satan for cash, a move that alienated many existing members and officials. As a direct result of LaVey's announcement, Aquino and 28 fellow Church of Satan members left the group and founded their own church, the Temple of Set." {4} 

Aleister Crowley
Satanist Aleister Crowley aka The Great Beast (1875-1947) VI° degree Ordo Templi Orientis ritual "The Cross of a Frog" involved consecrating a frog in the name of Jesus of Nazareth and crucifying it on an inverted cross as a form of blasphemy. It was Crowley's formula of killing the power of Christianity and the old aeon. {5}

The six initiatory degrees of the Illuminati: 
"Here through the use of a special mix of substances, the initiate has the third eye opened to the light of Lucifer, in other words, the satanic energy begins to enter the initiate to become the complete controller of the DNA and thus the human. This is enacted on the first degree known as the 'Union', second degree called; 'Congress' which involves sex with a fallen angel, the third degree is called; Conversation in which clairaudience or psychic audio connection is achieved with the demon, the fourth degree is called; 'Illumination' in which the third eye is fully opened to the light of Lucifer which thus brings you to the final degree at this level called; 'Adoption'." {6} 

The six successive degrees of the Druids:  
"In order to reach the exalted position of Arch-Druid, or spiritual head of the organization, it was necessary for a priest to pass through the six successive degrees of the Druidic Order." {7}  

Φ Phi and "Anti-phi"
Phi is the basis for what is known as the Golden Ratio, Golden Section or Golden Mean. The ratio, or proportion, determined by Phi (1.618 …) was known to the Greeks as the “dividing a line in the extreme and mean ratio” and to Renaissance artists as the “Divine Proportion" or "perfection".

Interestingly, the sine of 666º is 0.80901699, which is one-half of negative phi, aka the "anti-phi."

"The trigonometric relationship of sin 666º to phi is based on an isosceles triangle with a base of phi and sides of 1. When this triangle is enclosed in a circle with a radius of 1, we see that the lower line, which has an angle of 306º on the first rotation and 666º on the second rotation, has a sine equal to one-half negative phi.

In this we see the unity of phi divided into positive and negative, analogous perhaps to light and darkness or good and evil.

Furthermore, 666 degrees is 54 degrees short of the complete second circle and when dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 54 degrees you get 6.66... The other side of a 54 degree angle in a right angle is 36 degrees and 36 divided by 54 is .666." {8} 

The six degrees of separation is the academic urban myth that any two people on earth are six or fewer acquaintance links apart. (Colossians 2:8).

666 has NO good connotations!
Any way you look at it, 666 is the opposite of anything good. Many people (unless they are Satanists or occultists) go to great lengths to avoid the number altogether.. they will change their phone number, avoid moving into a house with 666 etc.. Why would any church claiming to "love God" and "follow Jesus" deliberately align themselves with 666?

Open Hands: Inverted Pentagram!

Just a minute.. what is this on Open Hands Facebook page? Surely I do not need to go into the Satanic implications of the inverted pentagram as well!!! 

"Today we celebrate with our 19 English class teachers and helpers as we say congratulations to 95 graduating students!" {9}

I am just picking up on obvious images connected with Satanism at TLC. There are other less obvious images that I have not included. 

David Hind still continues to praise the Queen on his twitter page {10} despite indisputable evidence in my last post that she is a Druid and a Luciferian.{11}

I will ask TLC this CRITICAL question AGAIN: Is ecumenism compatible with true Christianity? Hind is very obviously OK with Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) ecumenicals who are yoking themselves together with Roman Catholics. He mentions Matt Redman and Casting Crowns, musicians that produce bland repetitive songs, mantras which are devoid of any real spiritual content - songs which anaesthetise their hearers and are equally well accepted at Roman Catholic endorsed events. {12} These artists, knowingly or unknowingly, are working towards the paradigm shift of the false one world religion and are part of the Satanic New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). {13} 
 
"Casting Crowns’ radical ecumenism and spiritual carelessness is evident in that they participated in the National Worship Leader Conference in 2011, joining hands with men such as Jack Hayford who says God spoke to him and told him not to judge the Roman Catholic Church." {13} 
 
Casting Crowns performed at ecumenical "Together 2016" in Washington DC which was endorsed by the Pope.{14}

It has been my strong conviction for a long time that David Hind is leading TLC in completely the wrong direction! ..having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. (2 Timothy 3:1-5). 

Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. (Jude 1:3-4)

YEMI BALOGUN THE CHAMELEON: REVELATION TV

For the upright will inhabit the land, and those with integrity will remain in it,
but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be rooted out of it. (Proverbs 2:21-22)

Sarah Acott's experience with Howard Conder is indeed a very sad one, though it is not untypical of those who have challenged Revelation TV and their unorthodox fundraising tactics. Sarah wrote a report to the Trustees of the Revelation Foundation in 2012 that challenged the Conders claim that they received no financial benefit from Revelation TV. Below is an excerpt from that report:

"The issue I wish to raise is that donors to the channel are being mislead in the way that funds are raised and presented on the Building the Foundation programme. The programme leads the viewer to believe that the finances reported on the pie charts are a representation of the entire channels financial operation. This is not true and could be accused of being fraudulent. I am only bringing this to you because I believe that this is something that you as the legal overseers should be aware of.
 

It became obvious to me when I watched one of the first Building the Foundation programmes years ago. The income stated leaves out one of the largest income streams into the channel – airtime and advertising sales. Having worked in the office during the set up of the channel I know about the 21st Century television account and believe that the money from this huge source of income is going straight into this account. From what I can gather from the charities commission website 21stCentury Television makes donations to the Revelation Foundation....." {1}

Sarah went public three years later, and in May 2015 she began her blog GodvsChristianity which is an exposé of RTV.{1} As a whistle blower Sarah has been derided and persecuted for publicly revealing the misleading fund raising tactics of RTV, and both she and her family have been dragged through the mud. When she decided to go public, myself, Rob Thomas and Nev Stephens fully supported her. Nev's U-turn was inexplicable, but myself and Rob have continued to condemn RTV's unethical practices and false teaching.{2} I believe that Sarah has genuinely attempted to make amends with Howard Conder et al, but so far there has been no resolution. I personally was rather sceptical about the meetings she arranged with various Trustees from the Revelation Foundation. Nevertheless, it was Sarah's decision to have these talks, and I whilst disagreed and felt that the meetings were not scriptural, I respected her decision.

Howard Conder has stated publicly and repeatedly that he will not forgive his detractors. (Matthew 6:14-15). In addition, there is absolutely no sign of the false teachers being removed from RTV's programming, in fact just the reverse is the case. In my view, Conder's behaviour indicates that he is, in all probability, a reprobate, in which case meetings and attempted reconciliation are a pointless exercise. The Trustees have been challenged many times, and still RTV continue to air false teachers, rip off their viewers and abuse their detractors. The scriptural procedure for a fellow Christian who has sinned against us personally is very clear. Firstly we are to approach the person privately. If that fails, then we should take two or three others along, and if that also fails, then finally we should tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. In other words, an unrepentant Christian should be should be treated as a social pariah! (Matthew 18:15-17 cf. 2 Thessalonians 3:6, 14). Sarah has gone through all of the above stages with no result, and in my view she is being played by the Trustees.

Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit. (Matthew 15:14).  

Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. (Ephesians 5:11).

Sarah believed that she had a friend and ally in Yemi Balogun. In fact, Balogun was not only a personal friend of Sarah's, but he was also a trusted family friend. Balogun privately agreed with Sarah's concerns and made a number of assertions that he would publicly expose Howard Conder/RTV. I wondered why he wanted to delay, and once again I was sceptical. Nevertheless, I decided to wait and see what he would do. I was not at all surprised when he failed to come forward, and nothing happened. It appears now that he was playing both sides all along! Although Sarah and others have been hurt by Balogun's deception and slander, it is Balogun himself who should be concerned. How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? (Hebrews 10:26-30).

A Little About Yemi Bolugun:

RTV Presenter Yemi Balogun aka Omoyemi Hakeem Balogun.

Yemi Balogun left Revelation TV in June 2011 to set up his own TV station. He became a Director of The Kingdom TV which was dissolved in 2014.

The Kingdom TV Ltd 19 Netley Drive, Walton-On-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, KT12 3QX  previously  REVELATION TV (AFRICA) LIMITED Dissolved 13th May 2014. {3}

Director: Omoyemi Hakeem Balogun appointed 13 January 2011.
Director:  Sylvia Sophia BANNERMAN-BALOGUN appointed 28 February 2011.
Secretary: Ian Gordon Pettie appointed 13th January 2011 - resigned 28th February 2011. In fact Pettie resigned the same day that Sylvia BANNERMAN-BALOGUN was appointed as Director and Secretary. {4}

I am not aware what exactly happened with Balogun's TV venture, other than that it was dissolved in 2014. During the time Balogun was absent from RTV, he communicated several things to Sarah Acott and others about the mis-deeds of RTV and the Conders. Much to our surprise, Balogun returned to RTV this year and is now denying that he ever condemned the Conders. In fact his denials are rather too loud! Having once escaped the worldly defilements of RTV, he has become entangled once again and allied himself with these apostates. (2 Peter 2:20).  Balogun's realliance with RTV and his forceful, but false denouncements and denials, are not only a betrayal of those who believed in his integrity, they are a betrayal of Christ Himself! (Matthew 26:69-75) He has failed a critical test! (2 Corinthians 13:5). The apostle Paul was willing to work with his own hands in order to support himself. It is shameful that many so called "pastors" are not willing to do the same. (Acts 18:3; 1 Corinthians 4:12; 1 Timothy 6:10). The "hireling" mentality is prevalent amongst those who make a show of godliness as a way to become wealthy, those who in reality care nothing for the sheep. (1 Timothy 6:5; John 10:13). My advice to Yemi Balogun: If you have not been successful in your so called "ministry", then earn your living honestly and do not seek your living from those who fleece the sheep for dishonest gain by the promotion of false teaching. The price will be ultimately very high for false teachers: For them the gloom of utter darkness (blackest hell) has been reserved. (2 Peter 2:17-18).

Two or Three Witnesses

The principle of two or three witnesses is extremely important if we are making accusations against a fellow Christian. The principle is repeated so many times in both the Old and New Testaments that I think we must take it seriously. (Matthew 18:16; cf. Numbers 35:30; Deuteronomy 17:6; 19:15; 2 Corinthians 13:1; 1 Timothy 5:19). I do believe Sarah's word alone is a truthful narrative of Balogun's betrayal, but in addition, there are further witnesses. This is in fact a double betrayal for Sarah, since it adds further pain to the original betrayal she suffered at the hands of RTV. 

Balogun gained the confidence of Sheila, Sarah and Chris. That is three witnesses who communicated with him directly about the conduct of Howard and Leslie Conder. (2 Corinthians 13:1). Sheila left a comment publicly on Sarah Acott's blog in 2015:

18^th June 2015

Sheila: “Yemi balogun who once worked at REV TV is a witness to one lot of abuse/ridicule from Leslie which she said in his presence.I had finished with them totally. Never even thought of putting them on TV ever. “ {5}

Both Sarah Acott and Chris have given me permission to publish the emails I have received from them concerning Balogun. Below are some of the communications I have received from them both:

11th June 2015:

Sarah:"Yemi is popping down to the diner tomorrow afternoon. When I spoke to him before he said that he has been waiting for the right time to expose Howard, if now isn't it, I honestly don't know when would be.

Please pray that it will be a good meeting and that he will join us in this. He's a good man and a family friend. He's also very proud of what we have achieved, so it will be good to talk to him even if he only gives advice."

12th June 2015:

Sarah: "I'm meeting with Yemi later on today, so will give you all an update as soon as I can....."

13th June 2015:

Sarah:  "Not so great news re Yemi... he didn't make it! Unfortunately, he got held up, but will hopefully reschedule soon. He's still really positive on what we are doing so hopefully will see him next week."

15th December 2015

Sarah: "Yemi came to my diner last week. He’s one of the good ones. Just sad that Howard saw him as 'competition'”. {6}

Anonymous: "Now there is a very humble Man , Nice he came to see you. Yemi, he told me about Howards refusing to share a studio with him as it would be competition to him, I was astounded as I thought all Christian TV had the common goal of saving souls , I was not aware that competition came into it at all."
My reason for contacting Yemi was that on air Leslie was he usual condescending self towards me, insulting me and being sarcastic, calling me Mrs xxxxx, Yemi and Sylvia had no idea of the history of her and Howards abusve ways towards me and they joined in and laughed, when I enlightened him as to the whole story and of the disgusting things I had learned about the Conder children via their various social media sights , he apologised profoundly on behalf of himself and Sylvia, he also confided in me that he was about to leave and told me al about how howard had upset many people including himself and Sylvia and was always too proud to aplogise. I imagine you had some interesting conversation with him at your diner Sarah."

Sarah: Yes Yemi is a good and humble man. He will hopefully pop down to the diner and see Chris over the next few weeks too."  {6}

14th October 2016: 

Sarah: "Off the record... 

Yes... it's complicated and I'm confused about the situation to be honest. He's a family friend and it's not what I expected from him.

I texted Yemi about it and apparently they contacted him. He prayed about it and felt to go back. That decision is between him and God, but what concerns me is that he is endorsing the channel. He's by no means ignorant so his position is odd.

He might pop down to the diner over the next few weeks. I'm trying to be positive as the timing is interesting as my meeting with the two Alans were productive and this could be the start of a change from within. 

If I do get to see Yemi I do intend to be straight with him that I don't object to his return necessarily, but I do object to him endorsing them."

Chris: "Yes, I saw him appear on Time for Revelation last Wednesday (Oct 5th) and I was livid. Yemi is supposed to be coming to England for a few weeks. Sarah and I are going to try to get him over to her diner so that we can catch up!"
Chris: "Yes, he is being two-faced at the moment but Sarah and I will try to fix him :-)

He's just made a huge error of judgement."

14th December 2016:

Sarah: "Chris told Howard about Yemi giving him the information regarding 21st Century TV Ltd. Yemi has denounced our evidence as “gossip” and “innuendo”. He lied about various things and even named my father who has actively distanced himself from the situation.
I’m really saddened. As you know, I considered Yemi a friend and he knows that my mum has recently had a heart attack and yet told outright lies including that I have tried to blackmail him. I asked him to meet and explain himself to Chris, but he’s ignored me.
Yemi made it look like he has not given any information of significance to Chris or others, but I know he even told you some very serious things before he left RTV." 

22nd December 2016:
Chris: "Hi Treena,

There have been so many members of staff and volunteers who knew what was going on. They just left quietly. It strikes me that none of them have any Christian-integrity or even normal professional-integrity.

I'm not sure what to say about Yemi... On that programme, 10 days ago, he was grossly understating his involvement in the situation. He knows exactly what the evidence is and that it is not just "gossip and innuendo."

I think that he is having some-kind of mid-life crisis and feels desperately sorry that his own attempt at a Christian TV station failed. But, returning to Revelation TV has seriously compromised his integrity and he knows it.

Is Yemi just a weak man who cannot carry through his convictions ??  He obviously does know that things are not right with RTV and yet he has crawled back."

As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith. The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion, desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.

Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted. (1 Timothy 1:3-11)

The Charity Commission's statutory inquiry into the Revelation Foundation:

"In March 2014 complaints were received from members of the public alleging the charity was being used for private advantage. A subsequent scrutiny of the charity’s accounts by the commission identified regulatory concerns which include potential significant loss of charitable funds, trustee benefits, conflicts of interest and connected party transactions. These concerns are primarily in relation to the production and broadcasting of television programmes from Spain as well as the trustees’ decisions to transfer significant charitable assets and funds from the UK to Spain." {7}
