Exposing the First Horse…
“Secular Churches of America Inc.”
By Eric William King
The “Christian”
churches in America no longer take a real stand for anything. Secularism
has infiltrated the church on all levels.
It seems that “moral” sermons no
longer must be spoke, instead… t’is safer to “tell a joke”.
When did you
last hear from the pulpit that “stealing”
was wrong? Or that “lying, cheating, and fornication are wrong”? I have witnessed honest men of God speak the Truth only to be expelled from their local community. Sad. God responds to all
the false pastors in Jeremiah ch. 25:34-38.
The so
called “politically correct speech”
has made mankind even more dishonest.
So who are those who see this bad situation and then do nothing to stop it? Sola Scriptura
(the Bible Alone) has been “thrown out”……you are considered “stupid” when you actually and truly believe in the Almighty God.
The False Church is
being BUILT!
The false
church is being built up right before our eyes. Babylon
the Great is being built right up. Our ministry (TSW) has been warning the church and
proclaiming these fascinating prophecies for five years now. We have been
exposing that first horse. The First Horse has been riding but will
not finish his full course until after the rapture of the true Church.
This First Horse is “the spirit of
the False Christ” [Anti-Christ].
(Matthew 24:4-5) He is concerned with the full establishment of the False Religion (Rev. 6:1-2). This false religion is being created now
through the false religio/system and
those whose pockets support it.
The “secret power of
lawlessness is already at work” (2nd Thessalonians 2:7).
It is time for the True Saints to awake! We
must expose the powers of darkness! The First
Church is still here. We were called “Christians”
first in Ancient Antioch. (Acts 11:26)
Ephraim & Manasseh
going into Captivity!
What scattered Israel
is experiencing even now, before the Rapture,
is a takeover of our Republic.
In fact the same is happening to our Brother (Great
Briton). God said that He would increase the temperature of the
planet if scattered Israel would not
return (Deuteronomy
28:23,24). God also warns that the so called “illegal-migrants”
will be used to control the masses (Deuteronomy 28:43-44).
We know who
is actually behind all of this evil nonsense. It is Satan
himself! The
Great Deceiver…he was a liar
from the beginning. It is time to truly KNOW GOD. There is no time to waste!
You must study God’s Word now. We here at “The Shepherds Way”
and “Nugget of Truth” are
helping Christians lead the Way.
Many lack the
spiritual
dimension that they truly need in these Last
Days.
God warns
latter-day scattered Israel that He will “dry
out your land” [extreme drought] – Deuteronomy 28:23-24; because you have
turned away from Divine Morals.
So I truly
believe that we Christians may in fact experience our country go into a modern (last
day) “Babylonian
Bondage”. Are we not already now experiencing such a takeover?
YES!
Please
continue your studies with us here at “The Shepherds Way”
& “Nugget of Truth”.
May you stay
strong in prayer,

Seven Seals and Our Bible
We believe that the
Christian Bible is the Seven
Sealed Scroll seen in the book
of Revelation. (Revelation 5:1) This Scroll (the Bible) is only “open to”
(understood by) those who have truly accepted Jesus Christ (the Lamb of God) as
their Lord - God and Savior. (Isaiah 29:18) Through the gift of the Holy
Spirit, God’s word is open unto us now in this time, the church age -
dispensation. (John 14:26)Though we will never fully understand ALL of
God’s word in this life He reveals enough to get us where we need to go. (1st Corinthians
13:12)
Just as Moses was
commanded to make a “copy” of the tabernacle in heaven, the written
Bible is a “copy” of the unadulterated Word of God in heaven and gifted to us.
During the time of the
first apostles “title deeds” (property deeds) were written on scrolls
and sealed with wax seals. (Jeremiah 32:8-15; Ruth 4:1-14) The
person who purchased a title deed was called the “redeemer”. (Ruth4:1) These title deeds, if good, contained the entire
history of the land or property in question. It (the scroll) was usually written
on both sides (Jeremiah 32:8-15).
There were two copies made…one sealed and one open. (Jeremiah 32:11)
So our Christian Bibles
are copies of this important “title deed” – the “open” copy. Our Bibles contain the will of
God and God loves us so much that he has given us the complete story in the
Bible (written on “both sides” – Old & New Testaments). We call it “the Vision of ALL”. (Isaiah 29:11)
God reveals more through Time
As the Christian Church
has moved throughout time it has experienced six eras of growth. (Revelation
ch.2&3) We understand these growth phases of the church to be explained for
us by Christ Himself through His counsel to the “seven churches”. As of the year 1900 AD we have
entered the seventh and final phase of the church – the seventh church period
known as the Laodicean
Era. (this based on the historic records of the
church)
"The character of the
Church today is Laodicean, and as the Laodicean Period is to continue until the
Church of the "New Born" is taken out, we cannot hope for any great
change until the Lord comes back." ~ C.Larkin
These mysteries - found
and properly taught - in God’s word are never to be taken lightly. “So
then, men ought to regard us (apostles) as servants of Christ
and as those entrusted with the secret things of God.”
(1 Corinthians 4:1)
There are Seven Dispensations and seven distinct covenants which
introduce these seven dispensations in the Bible. Part of
understanding Gods word means that we understand the sevenfold mysteries,
the septenery mysteries. (7 Seals, 7 Trumpets, 7 bowls of God’s
Wrath, Seven Dispensations...etc.)
Dispensations are periods
of time in which covenants/agreements are made between
God and humanity. The Bible teaches that seven main covenants have been given throughout God’s dealing with humanity. We
serve a covenantial God; He has been in constant relationship with His
creation throughout our space/time continuum. The “Seven Seals” unroll all the dispensations unto us – an outline of the
entire Plan of Salvation. In other words, God’s Word is full
of septenery mysteries (mysteries in sets of seven).
*Most will never understand:
Planetary Review
As Jesus Christ opens
His copy in heaven, He perhaps begins to review each of the Seven
Dispensations, the entire history of our planet – the planet
that He created and came back for. Remember, His copy is perfect…the
Perfect Translation of the Bible! (Every word shall come to a complete
fulfillment!) When Jesus begins to do this opening of the sealed Scroll
in heaven Satan gets angry and begins his campaign against Christ here on
earth.
Satan does not want Jesus to fully reclaim this planet.
Many people think that
the opening of each seal is translating what Satan is doing on earth or that
the Seven Sealed Scroll is merely a scroll which contains final judgments. The
fact is Jesus will be judicially acting out His right to reclaim His “purchased
possession”. The Seven Sealed
Scroll represents the finality and perfection of God’s WORD…..which tangibly
is our Holy Bible. It is the title deed to this planet.
When the Christian bible
came together in its finality it became the open copy of this
planet’s “title deed” (Jeremiah 32:11). It (the Bible) is open to
the Christian Church through the “revelation of Jesus Christ”, yet it
is not fully understood by the Christian Church. “Written on both
sides” denotes the Old & New Testaments. Enough has always been made known
for a person to hear the Good News and accept Jesus
Christ as Savior (Luke 24:27).
The “closed copy” of the scroll (the perfect translation of the
Bible – the Scriptures) is depicted as a “sealed scroll” in heaven
awaiting its opening. This means that the “redeemer” has a time coming soon
when He claims back fully His “purchased – title deed”. The Scriptures say that
we were “bought with a price” and that Jesus became “poor” that we might become “rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9).
Why is He waiting to
fully reclaim? Because through the Apostle Paul’s ministry the plan of God is
calling in people from “every nation, kindred, tribe and tongue” (Romans
11:13). Apostle Paul made known the “mystery of the church” and when the last Gentile that is going to get saved gets
saved, this church age shall close (Romans 11:25).
We are promised that the
“sealed book (scroll)” would be more fully open to us (Christians) in the last
days (Isaiah 29:18; 29:24; Daniel 12:9). Some of these mysteries are spoken of in the parables of Jesus.
Jesus said; “The secret of the
kingdom has been given to
you (true Christians). But to those on the outside everything is said in
parables…” (Mark 4:11)
God promises…;”In days to come you will understand
it clearly.” (Jeremiah 23:20)
We (Christians) are to
“eat” the Word of God and through prayer gain understanding. The
prophet Ezekiel in a vision saw God’s word (message) in the form of a scroll and
he was commanded to figuratively “eat it” (take it all in, understand it). We
read about this in Ezekiel ch.3.
Our attitude toward the
Scriptures (the Christian Bible) governs our conceptions and conclusions. We
hold to Sola Scriptura (the Bible Alone). Our teachings do not
allow for additions or subtractions from God’s word. All of our biblical
doctrine must be found in Scripture and taught from
Scripture. Having stated that, we also recognize the importance of
understanding other things such as the Seven Rules of Biblical Interpretation
which help substantiate additional facts.
The best evidence of the
importance of our ministry is transformed human lives. Those who have studied here and become
regenerated children of God are the bright lights of this
planet. They are learning the
Scroll, the Will of God.
True Christianity is not a religion; it is a way of life. True Christianity is
a healthy relationship with God, Divine Intelligence.
I hope that these
thoughts help you gain a deeper respect of God, His Word and the importance of
properly understanding it all. May God continue to richly bless you with proper
doctrine and proper living.
Always in the presence of my Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ,

Some more insight by a
Bible Student..............
Anyone who has bought a house or a piece of
property is familiar with a title deed. Properly executed, a deed establishes
legal ownership. In fact, the modern term “Title Company” commonly refers to
commercial businesses that make it their specialty to research, secure and
officially record ownership titles. What is true in the modern world was
equally true in the ancient world. Property laws in ancient law codes, like the
Code of Hammurapi, describe accounts of sales, receipts and deeds—even to the
point of authenticating the document through a notary. Even an ancient buyer
had to be sure of the seller’s title!
In the Bible, we encounter such a title deed
in the career of Jeremiah, when God instructed the prophet to purchase a piece
of property from his cousin Hanamel ben Shallum (Jer. 32:6-16). Here, the deed
of sale was signed, sealed and witnessed. It is of special interest to note
that the title deed is described as being sealed, but that alongside it there
also was an unsealed document. The unsealed document served as an abstract—a
description of the property and terms accessible to anyone who wanted to read
it. The sealed title, on the other hand, had to be preserved from any changes,
which is why it was sealed in order to remain sacrosanct. Both documents were
deposited by Jeremiah in a clay jar for safe keeping, much as hundreds of years
later the people at Qumran deposited their precious scrolls in clay jars.
Sometimes, the “sealed” and “unsealed”
documents were combined into a single document. To understand this, one must
appreciate the fact that typically scrolls were inscribed on only a single
side. (Imagine, for instance, trying to read a scroll on both sides
as it is being unrolled.) After a scroll was sealed, however, one could write
the abstract that originally was on a separate document on the outside of the
sealed scroll (which would be the backside). As such, the contents of the
sealed scroll remained intact, but the abstract, which now appeared on the
outside of the sealed scroll, did not require a second document. This type of
text gains the technical name of a “double-deed”, and such a text, written on
both sides, is called an opisthrograph. Good examples are known from
ancient Mesopotamia. You also can find one briefly referenced in Ezekiel, when
in his commission the prophet was shown a scroll written on both sides. Two
excellent ancient examples of such double-deeds can be found in the Brooklyn
Museum, Brooklyn, New York and the Israel Department of Antiquities and
Museums, Jerusalem. The latter was discovered at Elephantine, a Jewish
community in the 5th century BC in Egypt. Both deeds are
secured with a cord, and over the knots in the cord is a clay bulla,
a lump of clay which has been impressed with a seal to secure the document. Printed
in Hebrew characters on the outside of the sealed document is the Hebrew word
for “Deed”.
This brings us to just such a double-deed in
the New Testament. In the Apocalypse of John, the elder John is shown a scroll
“written on both sides and sealed with seven seals.” Almost certainly, this
scroll represents an ancient title deed. Indeed, archaeologists have discovered
a very similar deed—one tied with seven cords, no less, each cord sealed with
its own bulla—at Wadi Daliyeh near Jericho. (This one also is
preserved in Jerusalem by the Israel Department of Antiquities.) John seems to
know the meaning of the sealed scroll, but he is distressed that no one is able
to open the seals. Whatever this vision means, the seven-sealed scroll seems to
represent a title deed to something, and the only one able to open the
scrolls—the only one who is entitled to do so—is the Lamb. This factor, in
turn, likely reflects on the Lamb’s qualifications to be a redeemer or buyer,
for such a title under Israelite redemption laws could only be “bought back” by
someone who was in the family. I would suggest that the seven-sealed scroll
represents the title deed of the world. God intends to reclaim the world as the
final act in his redemptive purpose, and this includes not only the final
redemption of his own people but also the judgment and overthrow of evil.
The redemptive ability of Jesus Christ to
open the scroll, as in ancient times, rested on his qualifications. He was both
willing and able, and he was a close relative who was descended from Judah and
David. Most important, he was the Redeemer of the people of God. The seven seals clearly signify events to
occur on the earth (6:1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12; 8:1). If the seven-sealed
scroll is such a double-deed, it suggests that God intends to reclaim a world
which has been infiltrated by evil, and the final stage of this reclamation
will come in the climactic events described in the Revelation. The
Lamb who was slain, who already has procured salvation for all humans through
the cross and resurrection, is worthy to open the seals, heralding the
consummation. In the end, the foremost plea in the Lord's Prayer
will be answered. His kingdom will come--his will shall be done (Mt.
6:10; Rv. 11:15)!
If this interpretation
that the seven-sealed scroll represents the title deed to the world is allowed
to stand, then the opening of the seven seals represents precursors to the
end. The idea that judgments would be poured out upon the world
before the end is strongly rooted in the Hebrew prophets. Some of
the passages in Revelation describing the opening of the seals directly allude
to such Old Testament texts, such as, people hiding in the caves of the earth
for fear (Is. 2:19//Rv. 6:15), the darkening of the sun and the moon turning to
blood (Is. 13:10; 24:23; Eze. 32:7; Jl. 2:10, 30-31; 3:15//Rv. 6:12), the
rolling up of the sky like a scroll and the falling of the stars like figs (Is.
34:4//Rv. 6:13-14), and the giving of the nations over to slaughter (Is.
13:15-18; 34:2-3; Eze. 32:3-6; Jl. 2:1-9//Rv. 6:4). The Book of
Daniel, while not listing such stereotypical woes, generalizes that prior to
the end there would occur "a time of distress such as has not happened
from the beginning of the nations until then" (Da. 12:1), and Jesus reiterated
this statement (Mt. 24:21//Mk. 13:19). Such trauma, sometimes
referred to as the "woes of messiah," was a characteristic of Jewish
apocalyptic in the intertestamental period and later. Lists of
disasters and cosmic disruptions describe the darkening of the sun, the
turning of the moon to blood, the shaking of the mountains (Testament of Moses,
10), plagues of pestilence, famine, earthquakes, war, and hail (Apocalypse of
Abraham, 30; 2 Baruch, 70).
Admittedly, this
interpretation takes the Book of Revelation in a futuristic sense (and for
whoever wants to know, I follow historic premillennialism as an interpretive
model). Those who adopt a preterist or historicist model for interpreting the
book will doubtless find other explanations for the opening of the seven seals.
Nonetheless, however, one interprets the final meaning of the Apocalypse of
John, the imagery of a title deed embodied in the seven-sealed scroll should
remain a constituent part of the interpretive process.

The
Babylonian Cup & The Whirlwind Unfolded
“Thus
saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and
a great whirlwind shall be
raised up from the coasts of the earth.” (Jeremiah 25:32) –This article updated on
October 18th 2019
________________________________________________________________
Some 100
years before King Cyrus was born God told Isaiah the
prophet that he would come. The Lord gave Isaiah the Prophet a detailed
prophecy regarding the event. God calls King Cyrus “a messiah” in the
Hebrew language (Isaiah 45:1; 44:28). The name Cyrus in Hebrew is “Koresh”. ~
Through
Jeremiah the prophet God stated that Israel would go into Babylonian captivity
for 70 years (Jeremiah 25:8-11) and after that Cyrus would come to deliver them
and allow them to rebuild their temple. This actually occurred, it all came to
pass and is recorded in our historical records. ~
When we read
Jeremiah chapter 25 we come all the way up to verse 11 and then God begins to
explain what will happen after Cyrus delivers Israel. Whenever we read Biblical
prophecy we understand that God will sometimes jump ahead, way into the future
going only from one paragraph to another. Starting in verse 11 of Jeremiah
chapter 25 we begin to read about a future judgment on geographical Babylon
and the entire
planet. ~
“But when the seventy years are
fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation, the land of
the Babylonians, for their guilt declares the Lord, and will make it desolate forever. I will bring upon that land all
the things I have spoken against it, all that are written in this book and
prophesied by Jeremiah against all the nations.” (Jeremiah 25:12-13)
~
There is
clearly a future “desolation” coming.
So now everything after these verses (12, 13) is a description of the future
event. God begins to inform Jeremiah that he is to figuratively go to all the
nations of the earth and make them “drink
from the cup” of God’s wrath. God takes the apostasy of Israel and all the
pagan nations and corrupt kingdoms and figuratively pours them into a chalice.
This is the “Babylonian Cup” which
represents the corruption that the world is getting spiritually “drunk” off of.
(Jeremiah 25:15-16). ~
This “Babylonian Chalice” will eventually be
handed over to the Antichrist
and his false church (Revelation 17:4). Right now the “kings of the earth” are drinking from this cup (Jeremiah 25:17-28).
This is creating the environment for the final Antichrist to appear (2
Thessalonians 2:8). ~
As the
politicians presently drink from this “Babylonian Chalice” the world becomes atheistic and extremely materialistic. As this “drinking”
increases a spiritual Whirlwind occurs. ~
“Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold,
evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the
earth.” (Jeremiah 25:32) ~
In this
prophecy God states; “I am calling down a sword upon all who live on the earth.”
(Jeremiah 25:29) This “sword” is His word. God uses His Word to judge.
(God’s “word” His sword: Eph. 6:17;
Heb. 4:12; Rev. 1:16) ~
Those who
reject God’s word will be “spiritually slain”. This means that
some people will remain “spiritually dead” - they will reject the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. We read about this; ~
“At that time those slain by the Lord
will be everywhere – from one end
of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered up or buried, but will be like refuse lying on the
ground.” (Jeremiah 25:33) ~
We
see that most of the planet will reject Jesus Christ. These “spiritually dead”
people will not be “mourned or gathered”, the church won’t miss them and they
will not be gathered at the rapture.
Nor will they be buried because they
will still be walking around. This is today’s world. ~
Sadly,
the last portion of this prophecy shows that all of this is happening while the
Christian Church is still here. Jeremiah chapter 25 verses 34 through 38 show
the miserable condition of the church. It says that their “pastures” and “meadows”
are “laid waste” (Jeremiah 25:36-37). ~
Through the
prophet Jeremiah God tells us that “in
the days to come” we would understand the “whirlwind” prophecy. “See, the
storm of the Lord will burst out in wrath, a whirlwind swirling down on
the heads of the wicked. The anger of the Lord will not turn back until he
fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In the days to come you will
understand it clearly.” (Jeremiah 23:19-20) ~
As the Bible
(The Scroll) unrolls, as Jesus Christ continues to reveal His word to us
through the Holy Spirit, God promises to give us a greater understanding of His
word before the Seven Year Tribulation. “In that day the deaf will hear the words of
the scroll, and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.” (Isaiah 29:18) ~
So the
whirlwind prophecy is being revealed and once this is revealed unto us, what
will happen? “They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that
murmured shall learn doctrine.” (Isaiah 29:24) ~
In the past
much of the Bible was still “sealed”,
not yet understood, “but seal up the vision, for it concerns the distant
future.” (Daniel 8:26) In our time (the Ecclesiastical Dispensation) these
Biblical mysteries are being revealed to us. Jesus gave us the prophets to
study so that we would not be ignorant. “Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing
without revealing
his plan to his servants the prophets.” (Amos 3:7) ~
“And we have
the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention
to it.” (2nd Peter 1:19) God said:”There are seven eyes on that one stone, and I will engrave an inscription on it,
(Create the Bible) says the Lord Almighty….” (Zechariah 3:9) “Above all, you
must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own
interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from
God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” (2nd
Peter 1:20-21) ~
We (the
Christian Church) have witnessed many prophecies already come to pass like
Israel becoming its own independent nation again in May (between May 1st & 14th) of 1948. This was an extremely important prophecy. If
Israel never became a nation again how could Jesus Christ come back to it? How
could He come back to an existing nation of Israel if one did not exist? ~
So it is
extremely important to understand just where the Christian Church stands on the
stage of prophetic
history. Prophecy is important because it keeps us up on our
feet. Knowing that anytime Jesus could come to claim His church keeps us awake, aware and alert to be in
the right mind, the “mind of Christ”. If Jesus returns for us we will be
changed in an instant and will be caught up to Him…if we die before He returns
we will still be guided by our angel to His throne. Whether we live or whether we die, we shall be with the Lord. ~
I hope all of
our studies here are richly blessing you. Jesus is Lord!
