Jesus came in the flesh.Jesus lives. Jesus is Lord.
Any of these three statements is a good testimony, according to the following scriptures:
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
1 Cor 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
I fear for my nation. It appears we are on the brink of civil war, and that God is not on either side. At the revolution in 1776 the rallying cry was "No King but Jesus". There is no such good godly testimony in the revolution that is brewing.
Instead, the rallying cry on the side of freedom appears to be all about "My rights"!
I know rights are important, but what is really most important?
Pharaoh in the time of Moses had rights, and the slaves, Israelites did not. But God humbled him, and the ten plagues of Egypt came upon him to glorify God!
Consider the king of Babylon. The most solid kingdom there ever was, more glorious than Greece or Rome, was ruled by Nebuchadnezzar. See the Bible book of Daniel, Chapter 4. Nebuchadnezzar was uplifted into power by God! Specifically to punish Israel, and to bring God's divine punishment upon Israel. Nebuchadnezzar had rights, sovereign rights, and God was on HIS SIDE!
But when Nebuchadnezzar merely spoke the words that it was by his own might that he was such a success, God humbled him and turned him into a beast for seven years and he ate grass like a bull. I believe that is a foreshadow of the humbling of Satan to come, during the seven year tribulation, but I'm getting off the point.
The point is that the freedom movement today in America does not seem to Glorify God, and does not have a rallying cry of any of the three major ways to testify about and glorify God.
Are the rallying cries of those in the freedom movement, "Jesus came in the flesh", or "Jesus lives" or "Jesus is Lord"?
No, Jesus appears to be absent in the freedom movement in America.
Instead, the freedom movement in America seems to be about selfishness. "I have rights!" "It's my money, don't tax it!" Or how about this one, "Men who are allowed to pursue their own self interest are the key to economic growth!"
This is bad. This is very bad. These are the kinds of statements to make if you WANT to be punished by God, as they are much like the statement by Nebuchadnezzar. (Pride! God hates pride!)
A joke I've seen on T Shirts is, "I spent most of my money on women and beer, and the rest I just wasted!" The point is that selfishness does not always lead to self interest, or even the national interest. My father knew a man who wasted $500,000 on cocaine. Tragic.
It's self denial and self control that are fruits of the Holy Spirit. Time and time again, the Israelites were taxed and had to pay tribute (tax) to their enemies. The pattern in the book of Judges for deliverance is when the people cried out to God, and then God sent them a single deliverer.
Who is crying out to God for deliverance? TO GOD!! And Who? Is this the message of any major ministries that you know of?
I don't even know of any major ministries that are anti tax, pro gold, pro second amendment. Most ministries are 501c3 organizations, and have thus made the IRS their head instead of Jesus, since they obey the commands of the IRS on what they cannot say, rather than Jesus or their own conscience. If they can't get involved in politics, how can they cry out to God for deliverance from government oppression?! They are not even in the game, and would be hypocrites if they even uttered, "Jesus is Lord".
Which comes first? Freedom? Or Godliness? Does freedom lead to Godliness, or isn't it the other way around?
2 Corinthians 3:17Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
It does NOT say, "Where there is freedom, there is Godliness".
Why would America restore freedom first, and then turn to Godliness? That does not fit the pattern in the book of Judges.
If America had freedom now, there would be riots and civil war from those who no longer would receive any welfare checks, both from the poor masses, and the big fat cat bankers alike!!!
Priorities are out of place in the freedom movement.
In fact, it appears to me that about half the people in the freedom movement in America want no part of God, no mention of God, and maybe even hate God.
Too many are atheists. Followers of Ayn Rand. Slanderers of the faith, claiming that all wars are religious, as if communistic atheists are not the biggest killers of mankind. Followers of themselves and their own selfish desires. At least they know freedom is good. But they do not know that freedom is a blessing from God. FROM GOD!
I'm sad because I feel that this message will mostly fall on deaf ears and unrepentant hearts, except among a few faithful who are already looking for their savior and the salvation of the rapture. So, to the faithful, I now speak (and even among those who think they are believers, many will try to say I'm deceived by the rapture):
I believe in Jesus and the pre tribulation rapture as much as anyone.
See my site explaining my views on the rapture: bibleprophesy.org
But I don't think the rapture will save people from the coming calamities about to fall on America; civil war and economic collapse.
The rapture did not come before the civil war of the mid 1800's. The rapture did not come before the great depression of the 1930's.
And now, I feel we are on the eve of a greater civil war and greater depression. To think that the rapture will save us from our current tribulation that we have brought upon ourselves because of our own foolishness, is the height of arrogance, the kind of pride that will result in a major fall.
The pre tribulation rapture saves us from what? Not from our own mistakes, but from the Wrath of God, the tribulation of the 70th week of Daniel, which also was the wrath of God for his people who never observed the years of Jubilee and debt forgiveness.
As I see it, the rapture is at least 10-30 years away. According to scriptures, and my own understanding, the rapture cannot come until it is widely recognized by nearly the whole world, as a sign, that Israel is wealthy in silver and gold.
But the world recognizes America as the largest official holder of gold. And gold and silver are just not worth enough yet.
Here are the two verses. Two is enough, as the Biblical rule is: "Let every matter be established by two or three witnesses!"
Israel is wealthy in silver and gold before the invasion of Ezekiel 38. In fact, Israel's wealth is the cause of the invasion!
Ezekiel 38:13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all her villages[e] will say to you, "Have you come to plunder? Have you gathered your hordes to loot, to carry off silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods and to seize much plunder?"'
This invasion appears to take place at the start of the rapture, the start of the tribulation, because there is a 7 year period that follows the invasion:
Ezekiel 39:9 "'Then those who live in the towns of Israel will go out and use the weapons for fuel and burn them up-the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel.
This invasion will appear to be Armageddon. Some today say it will be. But then why is there a period of 7 years following it, a time period that matches the 7 year tribulation? This is the false Armageddon. The whole world is awaiting Christ to return after Armageddon. But after this war, and after the rapture, after the "crazy fundamentalists" are taken away, then the antichrist will appear.
It appears to me that the antichrist will be making war on gold and silver itself, or come on the scene just afterwards and blame gold and silver for the "war to end all wars, Armageddon".
Gold and silver will be the "stumbling blocks" of the world at that time, after the rapture, and in the tribulation. People will blame gold for the problems of the world, much like most people do today.
And thus, the antichrist will usher in his new "mark", which he will have to call "the seal of God", but will really be the mark of the beast, probably a bio chip implant like they use to tag animals. (mark of the beast!). Anyone who takes it will go to hell, no get out of Jail free card, even if you could utter the words, "Jesus came in the flesh, Jesus lives, Jesus is Lord". Read Revelation 13 & 14.
Here's the second verse saying Israel is wealthy in gold and silver.
Zechariah 14:14 Judah too will fight at Jerusalem. The wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected-great quantities of gold and silver and clothing.
Two clear verses not enough? Here's a third verse on topic!
Revelation 3:14 "To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
America fits the description of Laodicea so well. A lukewarm Church. Few on fire for God. Half the nation electing a Muslim as president. The lukewarm Church is losing all the spiritual battles: homosexuality, abortion, Muslims, socialism/communism, paper money.
Oh that's right, most in the Church today are so lukewarm, they don't even know that paper money is a spiritual battle that we have utterly lost; the church isn't even fighting it! Where are my allies in the Church?!
If atheistic communistic China is bad for starving and killing as much as 50 million people, how bad is our national sin and comparable crime for aborting 50 million babies?! Isn't baby killing much worse?
We are rich in goods, collectively richer than any other people in any other time in the history of humanity. But we are both spiritually poor, and literally poor, as we are loaded with debt, and paper money is considered an asset, but is really just a liability of a bankrupt bank that also cannot pay their debts.
I have preached this Revelation 3:18 many times.
People IN THE CHURCH respond to me with a shrill denial of the literal. They say, "Jesus is talking about SPIRITUAL GOLD JASON!" No.
I rebuke that nonsense with reality. Buying literal gold is a spiritual action! It requires faith in the provision and creation of God. It is a denial of the idolatry of paper money, and the worship of Government. It is a repudiation of the worship of social security. You must have faith in reality, rather than promises. You must have a faith in honesty, honest measures, and honest commerce. People who would rather trust in paper money are trusting in lies. Casting off lies and deception is a spiritual action, and this is accomplished by buying physical gold, and physical silver.
The only thing on this earth close to "spiritual gold" would be paper money, and futures contracts, or options on futures, or bonds, or futures on bonds, or options on futures on bonds. I can't believe there are people so deceived that they would buy an option to buy a future promise of a future delivery of paper money that is a failed and defaulted promise to pay gold! Just buy gold! I promise you one thing I know for sure is that God is not telling people to put their faith in fraud, nor fraudulent paper money! Read the words of the text, how hard it is to not believe what they say?
Rev 3:18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire
You have to be blind to not see the literal words!
Jesus is even speaking in hyper literal physical words so there would be no misunderstanding on this point. Gold refined in the fire! Not gold promised to you on paper, in the future, maybe, that does not exist, by bankrupt entities who cannot deliver!
And Jesus is not saying "gold in heaven" either. In other places he spoke of storing our wealth in heaven, yes. And we can do this by giving to the poor, yes. But this is not a command to become poor, it's a command to become rich, so that you will have money left over to give to the poor!
If you want to store up wealth in heaven, then buy physical gold on this earth, so that as you become wealthy, you will actually have something left over to give to the poor!
Next, clothes to wear? America leads the world in the creation of pornography. You are reading this online. You don't need me to point that out.
Next, eye salve? Eye salve was a physical thing in Laodicea, it actually worked, they were known for the export of this in ancient times.
These are all physical things! Spiritual clothes? The only kind of spiritual clothes would be the invisible kind. Ever hear of the story of "The Emperor's new Clothes"? It was a trick, said to be invisible only to fools. Fake invisible clothes. Everyone claimed to be able to see them (not wanting to look like a fool), until a kid revealed that the Emperor just didn't have any clothes on.
Our money is a trick. Everyone claims it has value, but it is backed by nothing, just like the Emperor's clothes.
We are blind to this! Most of America is, anyway, 99.9% of the people. It's a spiritual sickness to be so blind! Even the Federal Reserve admits we have a "faith based currency" not backed up by any gold. Can you exchange your bills for gold at a bank? No!
So, to sum up.
I have provided three verses saying that Israel will be WEALTHY in silver and gold. All three verses promise that Gold will have value in the time of the end.
Rev 3:18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, SO YOU CAN BECOME RICH!
Anyone following this advice since the year 2000 literally "two days" since the birth of Jesus Christ, has been growing rich, for the most part. Yes there are price dips from time to time, but physical buyers tend to hold for a long time.
How can the freedom movement in America, as it is, lead to any salvation? I don't think it will succeed as it has been going, there needs to be a major change. It does not appear to be glorifying God in any of the three major verses of confession or testimony.
Who is saying, "Jesus came in the flesh, Jesus lives, and Jesus is Lord" in the freedom movement? And of those who do say such things, are they even crying to the Lord for deliverance from oppressive government? Maybe they are, and I'm just not hearing it or seeing it...
I'm a key Christian preacher of prophecy and of silver and gold, and I know who the major players are in the freedom movement in America.
I'll tell you who is saying those three things. Nobody! Maybe me, and this is the first time I've put them forth with purpose, rather than mentioning "bibleprophesy.org" in passing at the bottom of my letters.
God is not being honored by the enemies of America, both inside and out.
And by and large, I do not see that God is being honored very much, not even by those who call themselves Christians and who love the blessings of freedom.
A civil war can just as easily be God's way of punishing people on both sides. Look at the end of the book of Judges, it was a civil war in Israel, and a complete slaughter of tens of thousands on both sides. To conclude.
Don't misunderstand my message. Gold will not save you from the wrath of God that is coming in the 7 year tribulation, and it will not save you from the mark of the beast that will come with full deception and economic duress upon all mankind.
But it will make you rich. Gold will make life easier in these hard times. It is the provision of God for our era. And it may well aid in the final commission to preach the gospel of salvation through Jesus to all nations. And we should be thankful we can still get silver and gold. I am.
From my understanding of prophecy, there will be a world government, before the rapture. Like the world governments of Babylon, Greece and Rome, it will usher in a new era of peace. A false temporary peace, perhaps lasting only a generation. Remember, Isreal is dwelling safely in a land of unwalled villages in Ezekiel 38, before the invasion. This does not seem to describe Israel today, that has been fighting almost continually for their very existence.
With a world government, no war but only rumors of wars, and a gold standard, there will be great prosperity, and people will forget about God, even more than they have forgotten now. It will be a world government of ten regions, ruled by ten kings. Revelation 17-18. They will turn on the moneylenders of the world, that great harlot, the mother of harlots, Israel, and then give their power to the Antichrist.
This appears to be a parallel description of the invasion against Israel at the start of the tribulation in Ezekiel 38. This implies that there will be a world governemnt BEFORE THE RAPTURE.
It appears to me that the coming world government will use silver and gold as money. This will greatly increase the value of gold and silver, by 100 to even 1000 times as much as today. And that by moneylending and usury, very quickly, the wealth of the world, the real silver and gold, will be re-absorbed back into Israel. And then the end will come.
That might take 20-30 years or so?
Or perhaps, the paper money lenders will simply buy up the gold, and quickly take it back to Israel after civil war breaks out in America, and New York is no longer seen as a place of international commerce and stability to store gold.
The second scenario could happen in as little as 2-3 years.
So, things can happen, and major changes in the world can take place a lot faster than we might expect.
But either way, the pre tribulation rapture appears to be AFTER Israel is wealthy in silver and gold, and publically wealthy, wealthy enough to be a cause for war against her, and knowingly wealthy as if even a bystander nation asks if the gold and silver are the cause of the invasion. Perhaps the USA becomes that bystander nation, as some have said.
I could be wrong about a few things, but today, this is how I see it. After all, as we prophesy, we can only see through the glass darkly, and some of this is my well educated speculation. Refute my errors if you feel led. That helps me for the future. But ignore the scriptures at your own peril.
We sell silver and gold at www.jhmint.com
I don't think it's time yet to move to Israel, for two reasons. First, I think there are high import taxes on silver and gold. (Seems that needs to change for Bible Prophecy to be fulfilled.) Second, they kick people out of Israel for Christian Evangelism, which is against the Law there.
So, for those two reasons, it's still better in America, as bad as things may seem.
Jesus came in the flesh. They crucified him. Jesus rose from the dead! Jesus lives. He is my Lord.

I strongly advise you to take possession of real gold and silver, at anywhere near today's prices, while you still can. The fundamentals indicate rising prices for decades to come, and a major price spike can happen at any time.
