THE TWICE DEAD Chapter 9 (“The False Prophet”) by Doug Krieger (And friends) “For certain men have crept in unnoticed …who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ… They are clouds without rain, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit TWICE DEAD, pulled up by the roots; raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever…” (Jude 4, 12-13).
Such an exchange occurred of late among a number of us – some who know one another, others who just “listen in” – and something of the Lord seems to be gleaned from these exchanges. I pondered: I’d like others to listen in on our confab. Do people really talk this way to one another? They actually do – and for good reason – as “iron sharpens iron” we can appreciate each other and bring such fellowship before the Lord to “test the spirits” whether they are of God or not. That’s not meant to intimidate, but meant to encourage. Involved in this exchange, a rather public one at that – along with some blogging in between – occurred when fellow brother and veteran, Jack Hook, sent me some info. Somehow in my mind’s eye its ultimate focus revolved around the “false prophets” of our age (a.k.a. THE TWICE DEAD). You’re probably not going to concur with everything “in here” – but you’ll get the drift and understanding that we’re not out here to tear down but to build up “your most holy faith” and to strengthen your inner man, the eyes of your heart being enlightened wherein, having all grace, you may abound to every good work! Our little exchange drew my response as a result of one of Jackie Alnor’s Reflections and several others – listen in….but, I confess, some items have been removed at my discretion in that their addition would cause unnecessary consternation and misunderstanding (though I must admit I was tempted to leave them in “as is”) – but I feel I have the Spirit to edit them out for now…naturally, our graphics are designed to add credibility to the writers’ efforts… Jack Hook – from Babylon the Great is Falling … Dear D.H. and Friends,
D.H., you probably have many Catholic friends, as I do, who have no idea or understanding of the deep Old Testament historical roots of the religious system they have joined or were born into. They sincerely believe they are following Jesus Christ without knowing that Paul taught the Galatians and Corinthian Christians that false teachers had come on the scene teaching "another" Jesus, one who had a similar name and form, but there was no saving power to overcome the sin nature we are all born with. I am sure you understand that most Protestant denominations are just as seduced by "another" Jesus as are my Catholic friends. I was born and raised a Protestant in the Reformed Church who taught that Catholics were antichrist without realizing they were of the same antichrist spirit. For they taught me that I became a Christian when baptized as an infant and then went on to graduate from Sunday School. I was eternally lost while I thought I was a Christian. My experiences in the Army and Vietnam War made me realize I had a serious problem! I knew all about Jesus, but didn't know him personally, for I had never truly repented of my sin nature and cried out for forgiveness to receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, who brought a wave of love and awareness of Jesus now living within me, having given me a new heart by his shed blood. As you know I am a Vietnam veteran, as is S.R., and have been reaching out to other veterans for the last few years. Many of my veteran friends are deeply troubled by the things I have written concerning America and the "just" war doctrine that Augustine and Constantine introduced into Christendom centuries ago. Many of these dear veteran friends find it difficult to believe that the American system of government they fought for, thinking they were protecting the "freedom" of the people, was created by and now ruled by fallen angels under Satan who rules over all nations. I well understand that feeling, but I keep crying out to them saying that militant patriotism and the just war doctrine are rooted in the "pride of this life" according to 1 John 2:16. America is the leader of this Babylonian/Roman world system which Daniel clearly saw in his visions of the bestial Gentile kingdoms. Constantine just outwardly "Christianized" this beast that Daniel declared would produce the Little Horn or Antichrist of the last days. As I understand Revelation 13, these two Beasts are two men who will arise from the American Presidency and the Papacy bringing order out of chaos that is centered in the Middle East. This latest tragedy at Fort Hood is just another "major" event that will propel the leaders of the nations to demand peace between Islam, Judaism, and Christendom. Only our Lord Jesus knows how many more catastrophes will occur among nations and religions before the President and Pope come together with world leaders to establish peace in the Middle East, especially in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount. When this happens, the world's people will begin to think the Kingdom of Heaven, long promised by God, has finally arrived. But we both know it really signals the arrival of the Antichrist and his False Prophet friend from Rome. I am familiar with S.R.’s work as you seem to be. I agree with you that he has tilted away from the truth in some areas, the most notable being his call to physically remove ourselves from America before it is too late. He has jumped the gun, so to speak, and brought great confusion among many Christians. I have become good friends with some men who at one time ministered with S.R., who have firsthand knowledge of what he is doing. I am including them in this email. As far as I know, these men still love and pray for each other in the Lord Jesus which is right and proper, but sometimes error becomes so serious there comes a time of separation, but hopefully, it is not a permanent thing. We must all remember that our fellowship with the person of Jesus through his indwelling Spirit is rooted and grounded upon his teachings as well as his person in the triune Godhead. There are certain fundamental doctrines of Christ that must be upheld in order for there to be unity among the brethren, and whenever we remove or reinterpret these basic teachings of Jesus, division and strife always follow. Keep in touch, D.H!! Your eternal friend, Jack From: D. H. to Jack Hook Hi Bro. Hook,
I know some don't accept this. However, when one looks at Roman Catholicism and their doctrine and whom they worship, the Babylonian god Mithras, then, one has to accept that the Vatican's role in the end time is primary and major. In reality, Rome's Cardinals help the Pope rule over the earth right now, and have for a very long time. This is why the Cardinal in New York City is the highest ranking Roman Catholic Priest in the United States. The New York Cardinal reports directly to the White Pope (the one who wears white) and this information is considered by both the White Pope and the Black Pope (the Jesuit General). Nimrod set up this system in ancient Babylon right after the flood of Noah, along with his wife, Semiramis. Together, they set up the Priesthood of Baal or Bel. They were Luciferian Sun Worshippers, and their Temple Virgins are called Nuns today. It is the same wickedness with a name change only. The Vatican is using and has used mighty Babylon the Great, the United States of America in her efforts to deceive everyone back into the fold of Babylonian Sun worship, or the worship of Satan as the sun. Amazing stuff! Satan is indeed a great deceiver. God casts down a strong delusion on all mankind according to II Thess. 2:1-15. This strong delusion has several parts. However, a major part of this strong delusion is the delusion that Roman Catholicism is Christian. It is not Christian at all. It is in reality Mithraism or Babylonian Sun worship, called in the Holy Bible, KJV, Mystery Babylon. There are two parts to Mystery Babylon, the Madonna Child Cult and the Esoteric Mysteries involving the Secret Societies. Both of these can easily be found headquartered in the Vatican, under the guardianship of Lucifer or Satan. Don't believe any of this? Well, you will. It is all coming together right now, in front of our eyes. Babylon is returning in all its evilness. The United States of America is Mystery, Babylon the Great, destined to set up a One World Government with Lucifer, the Antichrist who has the spirit of Satan within him sitting on the throne of a rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem, Israel. It has long been planned. This temple will be a pagan Masonic Temple. It even has a number already established for it when it is erected. Truly amazing stuff!
Your friend in Christ Jesus' Service, D. H. From: Doug Krieger to Jack Hook and Friends: Dear
Brethren in Christ - True prophetic ministry and Bible Prophecy and the
study thereof, should be measured by life and by the illuminating power of the
Holy Spirit upon the pages of the Book of Books, the Bible. These days it
is difficult to see the true ministry of the Prophet - for He gave some
Prophets - to the Church. Some say that the "ministry of the
prophet" has long subsided and was but for the early Church.
Nonsense! The Scriptures are altogether too clear on the prophetic and
the ministry of the prophets in the latter days: “But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the Book until the time of the end. [Then] many shall run to and fro and search anxiously [through the Book], and knowledge [of God's purposes as revealed by His prophets] shall be increased and become great.” (Note: So much for the "increase of knowledge" centered on computers and the like!) The
knowledge of God's purposes as revealed by His prophets shall be increased and
become great. Likewise, the ultimate ministry of the Two Witnesses is
prophetic in nature (YE SHALL PROPHESY) - my Two Prophets - in any
event, how can we as members of His One Body discern the ministry of the true
prophet? I think this discussion should be among us these days - it
most certainly was in the days of the apostles and just prior to John’s writing
of the Revelation we have these most interesting comments in the Didache (a manual,
among other things, of common practice found in the early church): (NOTE: To epitomize the entire Roman Catholic Church as the very False Prophet beclouds the ultimate focus on the immensity of the ministry of this nefarious pursuit. Indeed, the specificity of Babylon the Great’s whereabouts finds its nexus in the “younger horn” recently cropped up out of the West’s most prestigious exploit, as both Beast and Beast Nation so exemplified; however, the final deception – the GREAT FALLING AWAY FROM THE FAITH – is primarily a Latter Day, End of Days, End Times’ prophetical occurrence which afflicts the entire religious system headed up, no doubt, by the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth, whose mixture of Church and State, as Dr. Desmond Ford’s dissertation discerns, is the “essence” of the final Abomination of Desolation – at least, its final format (though, as we have shared in the strictest sense involves the desecration of both a rebuilt Third Temple, as well as the desecration of the human spirit whereby Antichrist becomes the Beast, the parody of the Resurrection of Jesus from the grave). To allow Thyatira the exclusive purview of she who “rides the Beast” delimits the complicity of the other churches from whom “overcomers” are called – who’s to say that the “harlots” are worse than their Mother? All are complitious in the final apostasy. “The falling away from the faith” is precisely that – therefore, to lay blame upon the source of mystery Babylon’s deceit deprives her of overcomers and obfuscates the putridity found in at least Sardis and Laodicea. Doug Krieger)
Hi Doug, Just wanted to thank you for your forthright response to Jack. Quite frankly, I’m not that familiar with Jack other than receiving his random emails, as well as D.D.’s random email messages. In fact I don’t know you either other than having received this email message from you. And I must admit your response to their email message is most refreshing to hear. Refreshing in the sense of hearing shall we say a more balanced perspective regarding modern day Babylon, the office of a prophet, Roman Catholicism etc. It sounds as though you have a healthy as well as a mutually tolerant ongoing dialogue one with the other… to me that sounds like a mature and rarely seen relationship amidst the greater Body of Christ. It seems so easy for we Americans to be thin skinned with our exclusive tunnel vision with which we all seem to be dealing with for which I think stems from being immersed exclusively in our very prideful American culture. And to witness an ongoing dialogue that exceeds this ever so common “if you don’t agree with me then I must sever all ties with you mentality.” I can’t help but respect the bond that perpetuates this type of dialogue, certainly it must reflect some semblance of brotherly love in Christ… maintaining the bond of peace in unity, something that most of us American Christians would do well in learning from. “And Simeon blessed them and said to Miriam His mother, ‘Behold, this Child is appointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and for a sign to be opposed.’” (Luke 2:34) Jackie Alnor’s Recent Article in REFLECTIONS: November 7, 2009 Kingdom Violence
The week before, the Bay Area reeled over the news of a 15-year-old girl who had been gang-raped, robbed, beaten and left for dead outside the Richmond High School dance she attended with her friends. Reportedly ten young men, some of them minors, took part in the brutal assault, taking turns at her. Many dance-goers stood around and watched, laughed, took pictures and egged the deviates on. None of the onlookers came to her assistance or even bothered to call the police. Finally, a student heard second hand that a naked girl was lying unconscious in the dark by the dumpster and called 911. Those who told her about it said they didn’t want to be snitches and so wouldn’t call for help for fear of retaliation. The victim survived but no doubt is scarred for life. With all the talk in the liberal press about hate crimes, the local news was totally silent over the fact that the victim was a white “church-goer” and all the attackers were Latino in a region where illegal immigration is protected under the “safe haven, sanctuary” laws. If it were the other way around or if the victim were gay, they would have been all over it. Kingdom of Heaven The parallels of this story with the condition of the visible church in America are easy to see. Jesus lamented in Matthew 11:12: "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." Most commentaries interpret this verse as some sort of metaphor for zealous faith. I could never read that into the passage. Zealous faith would not cause the kingdom of heaven to suffer, which is obviously something not good. A Baptist Bible teacher named David Reagan (not the prophecy teacher of that name) really hit the nail on the head with his exegesis: “Second, who are the violent who take it by force? ...I could find no one who is called violent in a good sense in scripture...the violent are always evil...However, if the kingdom of heaven is God's visible working of His kingdom on earth, then it is capable of suffering violence. “Now, who are the violent? The violent are Herod and those who worked with him to imprison John (Luke 3:19-20) and will soon behead him. They are attacking the kingdom of heaven by attacking the forerunner of the King and the first preacher who proclaimed that the kingdom of God was at hand. They took John ‘by force’ and they will soon take the King (Jesus Christ) by force as well. The devil and the world will not win, but the kingdom of heaven will suffer much violence through their attacks. The minions of Satan are still attacking the work of God on this earth and will do so until the King comes back in power and great glory.” And that was just the beginning of the violent trying to take the Kingdom by force. The Apostle Paul wept over this threat, telling the Ephesian elders: “For I know this that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.” - Acts 20:29-31 It didn’t take long for violent men to push their way into leadership, eventually joining church with state and creating the hodgepodge entity, the Roman Catholic Church. Violent and evil men took the visible kingdom of heaven by force and ruled over men with an iron fist, forcing even true believers into captivity. The idea of violent men taking the Kingdom by force is also noted by Jesus in the parable of the mustard seed. Jesus said: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches."-- Matthew 13:31-32 Modern-Day Buzzards
So you might be asking yourself, what does all this have to do with the girl that was gang-raped? When I think about the violence she suffered and look around at the violence the bride of Christ is suffering, as a member of that corporate bride I suffer from that violence. When one member suffers, all members suffer. (see 1 Corinthians 12:26) This past week (again, first week, Nov. 2009) the Praise-a-Thon aired on the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). I peeked in on them every day to see if their abusive fund-raising strategies had changed. Not at all. I actually felt anguish as each and every speaker twisted Scripture in order to lay guilt trips on their donors into giving beyond what they were able. One by one, violent men and women stood up violating the viewers, calling themselves “prophets” that must be obeyed, thus robbing and pillaging the sheep who do not know enough to test their false claims. Once again, the kingdom of heaven is being hijacked by those who have taken by force the airwaves, holding the keys to the kingdom in order to get rich off it. Buzzards in the branches. So I turned to the God Channel and watched even worse violent men gang-raping the body of Christ, leaving her naked and wounded. Men like Rick Joyner and Mike Bickle - leftovers from the violent gang known as the Kansas City Prophets who, back in the 1980s, plundered many Christians and shipwrecked their faith. Today they are hell-bent on completing their vision of total control of the younger generation in fulfillment of their many false prophecies of taking dominion over the battered, beaten, bloodied bride of Christ. The only way to get to the youth is to conquer and eliminate the wisdom of the elders.
“For the coming harvest, the Lord is preparing a great spiritual fishnet that will be able to hold the catch that is coming. This net will be formed by the linking together of His people...He {God} is beginning this breakdown of barriers with the leadership...As ‘the walls come down, the entire body will begin to flow together. If leaders resist this move, the Lord will continue it through their congregations. These groups will begin to relate to other members of the body of Christ and their bonds will grow stronger, regardless of the resistance or warnings of their pastors. Some pastors and leaders who continue to resist this tide of unity will be removed. Some will be so hardened they will become opposers and resist God to the end... “Some that were used greatly of God in the past have become too rigid in doctrinal emphasis, or are too entangled with spiritual ‘Ishmaels,’ to participate...Those who are linked together by doctrine or who gather around personalities will quickly be torn away...This harvest will be so great that no one will look back at the early church as a standard; all will be saying that the Lord has certainly saved His best wine for last. The early church was a first fruits offering, truly this will be a harvest! It was said of the Apostle Paul that he was turning the world upside down; it will be said of the apostles soon to be anointed that they have turned an upside down world right side up. Nations will tremble at the mention of their name... “Individual truths or works, will come under unrelenting discipline from the Lord and will soon be understood as a ‘strange fire.’ Those who continue to offer it will perish from the ministry with such demonstration that a pure and holy fear of the Lord will sweep the body of Christ. This will help the Church to move into true spiritual worship and a unity that is based on that worship...Do not resist the Lord in this work.” Spiritual Child Abuse
Worship I - This is a seven minute clip from a "Holy Spirit Breakout" meeting on April 29th, 2008 at Morningstar Fellowship of Ministries in Charlotte, NC, led by Rick Joyner. Is this Holy Spirit revival or paganism? Worship II - Come, join the blaze! A woman wrote a testimony on Joyner’s forum testifying to what she and her family experienced while streaming Joyner’s Heritage program. She wrote: “A couple weeks ago I was web streaming the meeting and my kids were up stairs getting ready for bed, when all of a sudden my 17 yr. old son came down stairs and said to me, ‘Look at me , mom!’ I looked at him and said, ‘What?’ Then he repeated himself, saying, ‘LOOK at me!’ I looked at him again, and said, ‘What is it?’ He said, ‘I'm covered with gold dust!’ His whole torso was covered with gold dust! He asked what was going on, I told him I was web streaming Heritage!! Then the Lord opened an opportunity for my husband and I to come to Heritage last weekend. 4 days after we came home, I was web streaming again and saw an open eye vision of the fire. We know fire as a thing, but this fire of the Lord is Alive!! It was about 3 feet wide and had EYES!!! The eyes were blinking!!! It is ALIVE!!!” Joyner is now the proud owner of what used to be Heritage USA, the former Jim and Tammy Bakker theme park. Joyner has restored the grounds and the hotel and holds his services there in Charlotte, North Carolina. Young people flock to his meetings seeking this spiritual fire and fired up “worship.” Jim Bakker now has his own resort called Morningside in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and is in partnership with Joyner. When Joyner was a guest on Bakker’s TV program he introduced Joyner thus:
As horrifying as this music is, it is not isolated. The same sort of music-driven divination is seen at John Arnott’s church, the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship and at other churches that are connected with what is known as the “New Apostolic Reformation.” Most of the so-called prophets that interface with the former Kansas City prophets are highlighted on the networking PR group known as the “Elijah List,” headed up by media person Steve Shultz. On a recent news release Shultz was promoting a new cd by false prophet Kim Clement. Shultz’s September 8, 2009 promo started with this headline in big red letters: “THE VIOLENT TAKE THE KINGDOM---BY FORCE!” --Just listen to some of Kim Clement's Prophetic music to 'hear' Kingdom Violence…He went on to say:
The song is called “Kingdom by Force” with a chorus that repeats the words over and over again, “There’s nothing that can stop me now, I’m gonna take the kingdom by force.” (see link) Joyner’s history of a love for violence can be seen also in his efforts to “restore” Todd Bentley to power. Bentley was the instrument of the Lakeland Revival in which the tattooed preacher boasted of the use of violence in his working of wonders in which he would boast of kicking little old ladies in the face with his biker boot as a point of contact for healing. Joyner has now taken Bentley under his wing after he was disgraced for committing adultery, divorcing his wife, and marrying his mistress. I call that violence - the kingdom suffered a whole lotta violence over that one. Many Pronged Attack The assault of violence against the bride of Christ (true believers) by the buzzards (infiltrating pretenders) is certainly causing suffering in the visible kingdom of heaven here on earth. Just like the young men lining up to get his turn assaulting that precious 15-year-old girl, the kingdom of heaven has been hijacked and raped by various wolves lining up for a piece of the prize. There are “emergent” wolves, “Christian” television wolves, false prophets/apostles wolves, and liberal wolves -- wolves of every sort doing damage to the tree. And then there’s the onlooker - laughing at the crime in progress and not intervening to come to the rescue. Those consist of solid ministries that undergird the wolves by buying airtime on their TV stations. They also include “pastors” who do not warn the sheeple about the dangers on their televisions. And
the unsympathetic press that failed to report details of the assault since it
wasn’t politically correct in a corrupt liberal The bride of Christ is now almost unconscious - beaten up and taken over. May the few sane voices in the body take a stand against this intrusion before it’s too late! ♥♥♥ “Woe to those who devise iniquity, and work out evil on their beds! At morning light they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand. They covet fields and take them by violence; also houses, and seize them. So they oppress a man and his house; a man and his inheritance. Therefore thus says the LORD: ‘Behold, against this family I am devising disaster, from which you cannot remove your necks; nor shall you walk haughtily; for this is an evil time.” -- (Micah 2:1-3) CONCLUSION (by Doug Krieger)
As it was, the exposé of one, Todd Bentley, was so horrendous, we’d have been considered as RINOs – Republican in Name Only – Moderates, neither hot nor cold but solidly lukewarm if we would have said nothing! Worse yet, find we among the well-meaning brethren, they whose mission entertains “unity within the Body of Christ?” Therefore, receive we more their askance looks of irritation and condemnation – “Brother, sister, why don’t you just be POSITIVE – why do you always think your gift to the Body of Christ is to expose these brothers and sisters? Shouldn’t you just ‘preach the gospel’ and be done with it?” In sum: NO! Are things going to get violent? As Jackie alerts us: YES! Is this the kind of “violence” that crucified the Lord of Glory?...that kind of religious persecution, coupled with political will to do away with these “malcontents?” Yes. Friend – THE WOMAN RIDES THE BEAST – no, she hasn’t quite “fully mounted” this sordid Creature from the Abyss, though she eyes her ultimate destiny with relish and ill intent– yet she who is full of abominations is about to join in full fury with him, the incarnation of Satan himself, aligned with the ultimate expression of Gentile World Power…it will be the false prophets of “Christendom” who shall ingloriously lead the charge in this ignoble effort and final deceit – “clouds without rain” – THE TWICE DEAD have arrived in ever-increasing number – “whom resist steadfast in the faith” – may the Lord embolden us to sound the trumpet in Zion “for such a time as this!” |
