There is always a sense of urgency when listening to an Evangelist, on fire Preachers, and others who have been relegated responsibility by the Lord. It seems there is always a place where we must be, finding ourselves outside of where were supposed to be. In this there seems to be a game of catch-up. We are never satisfied and in fact, for many of us, we are downright hard on ourselves.  Between listening to preachers hit us on the head, or prophetic words telling us when destruction comes, or our own critical attitudes towards our own mistakes, we get tired.  The attitude for many in the warning America crowd is described by the phrase “How Can I Wait?”

I mean by this we are in tune to destruction, chaos, and at times we seem to be saying to ourselves and many others, “how can I enjoy life, how can I plan a future, or what am I going to do?” All of this represents the end time thinking that with the situation we find ourselves in, there simply is nothing to do except face catastrophe. Take, for example 2012, the pundits and others have the whole world practically destroyed. I have seen and done news on our radio of people buying real estate, special shelters, and readying themselves for the end of the world.

Gone are the days of enjoyment, unless you’re outside of what is known as ‘these people are all crazy crowd.’ This is the crowd that totally rejects any judgment coming at all. For the most part this crowd are the ones who do not accept any of this at all and spend their time enjoying personal pleasurable pursuits. They “love their pleasure and make their plans” over and above any commitment to a God. Among these people are those who wonders if God cares, let alone a supreme being who would send judgment. They don’t accept the wrath of God teaching, nor understand the salvation that many thrust out like jelly beans at a party. In short, they don’t understand it and don’t want to spend time with it either. They want to live their life, enjoyably and if they die, well at least they would go happy. After all many of these people reason, there is no hell. After this life, these people see themselves graduating to a new level of spiritual man or woman. Some even see themselves being reincarnated into some other human or species which is all part of plan of some super God who enjoys sending humans into the endless cycle of birth and death.

I see all this and wonder how God can save anyone at all! After all people today have their own ideas. Many have their own churches and won’t even accept a word from anyone outside of it.  I get bombarded on all fronts by doctrines, people, teachers, pastors, believers, and unbelievers. I see them daily. From the Mormans who go two by two to the Jehovah witnesses that do this as well. I am called upon by the local Baptist boys who recently went door to door and sought us out to ask us where we went to church.  Well, if you boys really need to know, my shabbat is the one found in Gen chapter one. Of course, I did not tell them that, I patted them on the back and said God bless you and sent them on. They could find some ardent sinner to save and leave me alone. For they are not ready for what I do or what I believe. Neither is the church and certainly most pastors.

I have spoken with many people over the years and have had good conversations with many Mormons, Muslims, and others over what is coming. As I talk to them, they also have their prophets, their teachers, and their idea of who Jesus Christ is. As with all of them, their version of Jesus Christ is only good with their denomination or religious format they are pushing.  They do not seem to be interested in anything that I say. They are only interested in getting me to agree that they know what they are talking about and I should join them. To this, I say; NO! The divisions of the end days in which we live are real.

Moreover, these divisions are there and won’t come down. They have years of people building upon them and are made of stuff harder than concrete. What is harder than concrete you ask? Steel? NO! It is stuff that even Jesus could not break through, it is called traditions of men!

Mark 7:9  And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Colossians 2:8  Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

They had them in the time of our Lord when he came to die on the cross for our sins. They had them after he died and ascended to heaven. They have them today just before his arrival again. In this I ask myself, “How Can I Wait?” Am I in a hurry to see the LORD? Well, Yes and No! I am wanting to see him, but I know I have much work to do. Many people are not ready and at the rate we are going its going to take awhile to break through the man made nonsense that people put around themselves.  I mean I have had people speak to me nicely, lovingly, and say “Pastor”, “You don’t mind if I call you Pastor do you?” they say to me. “I consider you my Pastor thats all.” Well I say to them, “NO” go ahead. I don’t tell them that when people want to call me or anyone a “Pastor” you had better get ready to duck! For it will occur soon, usually within a year or two of them saying that and calling you their “Pastor” that it occurs. They end up becoming offended for some reason, stabbing you in the back, and then leaving. Of course, it is always your fault, but then, this is the way it is in Ministry. Yet, it is hard to believe that the sheep actually butcher the very “Shepherds” that are to be guarding, teaching, and guiding them. Yet they do it all the time.

Then there is the famed evangelists who are on the who’s who list of successful people. They are rich, the crowds who listen to them are huge, and they openly profess things that are outright lies and blasphemy against the Lord.  For instance, one said that “you cannot have happiness without money.  It doesn’t take the Holy Ghost, it takes money, without Money you can’t be happy.” These along with their doctrines are what many want to hear and follow today. It is a get rich carnality, with a special spirituality attached to it. It allows a believer to get rich so they can make the unbeliever want to be a Christian. They don’t become Christians because they are sinners saved by grace so to speak. Many become one so they can be rich and have it all, plus salvation just like the one they see preaching it.  Again, I ask myself the question “How Can I Wait?”

2 Peter 2:3  ¶And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not

Into this mix are the people who believe the Lord is coming soon and they want to be ready. They spend their time trying to follow the Word of God, praying, and working hard to be that perfect ideal disciple. When they make a mistake, others forgive them, usually, but they cannot forgive themselves. They spend endless hours over it, fretting about it, and considering what they should of done. They have kids that don’t follow the Lord, friends that think their nuts, and overall are left without a church because most churches don’t believe as they do.  I get email from people and communication from our social sites. This mail is usually from believers who are lost in the end time shuffle. They have no friends, church, or a place to fellowship. They believe yes, but they also hold to different ideas than that of many churches. I see this especially true if you hold to the Apostolic and early church teachings of  shabbat and feasts. This really puts you in a corner alone. Then if you tell them anything at all regarding their rapture ideas, well this blows the lid off the thing and your in deep odds with them. They will drag out every teaching and false prophet they can think of to convince you your wrong. Yet they will not consider these doctrines that the church follows are pure man made teachings and philosophies made into doctrines.

Here we find more divisions and trouble. It is here I ask myself and the LORD again, “How Can I wait for your coming?” Only the Lord can bring unity! The Spirit of God can unite us, but he won’t be able too until trouble and tribulation hits. When the sifting sands of man made doctrines become swallowed up in the fire of the Smelter of the LORD then men will seek the LORD over the false ways they have followed. It will be then, that the eye will see clearer, for the fire has cleansed the bias of their ways and doctrines from their heart. It will be then that men and women will be able to love as the LORD commanded. Right now our doctrines, ideas, and pride keep us from truly loving one another. Just like those who call me “Pastor” one moment then later won’t have a thing to do with us, our web sites, or radio show. They turn on us all the while telling us how much they love us as they call us “Pastor” while making plans to junk any emails we send them and to sever any relationship with us.

I saw this in the church back in the 80′s as well when two board members stopped me on the stairs of the church. It was in between Sunday school and the main church service. They were mad as hell and they were not going to take it anymore. They both looked at me, pointing and angry saying, “take your bag of ideas and leave. We don’t want your kind around here. Your too Zealous for the LORD.” Now this was a new church with much growth. The Pastor was a former insurance salesman and knew how to sell a church. The only thing they could not tolerate I guess was a guy and his family who were Zealous for the LORD. Go figure. The church is the same today as it was then, only worse. Christians are the same as well, the only trouble is many of them are suffering from this carnal, lukewarm, and secularized church. It is a church that likes a modern Christianity, a modern Cain type religious church. It is one that has modern man made philosophies in it. One that lacks the power of God to deliver. One that has no clue to the real Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Massiach.  In this is caught up many a believer who like the church they are attending have no clue as to what is really going to happen, and very soon! Again I ask, “How Can I wait?”  The Answer, is in patience and faith!

James 1:3  Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

Revelation 14:12  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

I leave you with these words that the Apostle Paul told Timothy:

1 Timothy 6:8  And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9  But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10  For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11  But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12  Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
13  ¶I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14  That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Where do you stand?

Know God!
No God?

Know the LORD!
No LORD?

Know Jesus Christ!
No Jesus Christ?

Know Heaven!
Headed for a Devils Hell!

In the beginning God, this is how it starts, from our record anyway, found in Genesis chapter one. Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
It is this God, who created the heaven and the earth. This word, created is ‘bara’, which means to create something out of nothing.

created-bara 1254), “to create, make.” This verb is of profound theological significance, since it has only God as its subject. Only God can “create” in the sense implied by bara?. The verb expresses creation out of nothing, an idea seen clearly in passages having to do with creation on a cosmic scale: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Gen. 1:1; cf. Gen. 2:3; Isa. 40:26; 42:5).
It is here that to create something out of nothing is that which God does. But as we look at this, let us consider what is ‘chaos’? Itself Chaos or Chaotic, means ‘lacking visible order or discipline’. It can also mean ‘unordered, unpredictable, and confusing’. Nearest synonym is ‘disorderly and helter skelter’. These meanings are dictionary meanings. From a biblical point of view, chaos itself is seen in the bible and is called ‘a place of confusion’. That is what it was ‘in the beginning’ if you were a man looking on. This confusion comes from our lack of understanding and knowledge of God. For He is and always has been.

When God was, it is true, He had always been and always will be. No power is greater, no God is above him, and he alone is God. In him is time and space. In him is knowledge, virtue, power, and truth. In him, in short, is everything that there is and everything that always will be. He come on a trip from some galaxy plop down on some planet and decide to manufacture humans and then send them as little seeds of flesh to grow out of the earth. In the Beginning, God, the True God, who always was and ever shall be, created the heavens and earth out of nothing.
In the beginning if your were to see all this, you would think of it as ‘chaos’. But it was not ‘chaotic’, nor ‘helter skelter’, for God was in the process of Creating all things. The word ‘created’ is bara, and it shows clearly in the Hebrew that God brought the object or concept into being from previously nonexistent material!
A careful study of the passages where bara? occurs shows that in the few nonpoetic uses (primarily in Genesis), the writer uses scientifically precise language to demonstrate that God brought the object or concept into being from previously nonexistent material. [Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words, Gen 1:1, Created, bara]
Clearly when reading the passages we see a formless, void, with darkness upon the face of the deep. Then the “Spirit of God” moved upon the face of the waters. Without form here means emptiness and can also mean a place of chaos. It was a mass, empty, void, and would be considered a waste. Darkness, blackness, was upon the face of the deep. Here it refers to all waters on the face of the earth. It was the surface, water everywhere, no land, and darkness was upon it all. Out of this the Spirit [ruach] of God [elohim], moved upon the face of the waters. The Spirit ‘hovered, fluttered, over the surface or face of the waters’. This was the first basic of structures in the beginning, water. Upon the ‘waters face’ the Spirit ‘hovered. The power of God, not wrenching things to get done, but simply, by the Word of his power, through his Spirit, all things were created. Today we see and experience the might creation which was the result of the Spirit of God ‘fluttering’ over the expanse in the darkness, upon the waters.

From, the void, came this which we know today and all it is, the creation!

Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters

The Chosen Generation!

The Chosen Generation!
Giving Birth to A New Era and A New Kingdom’
By The Watchman Dana G Smith

‘The chosen Generation is every person on earth at this time, we are the ones to whom it is given to go through all this and see this birth. In the process, each one will have a choice to repent and seek the LORD, or reject this LOVE of the truth and follow the great deceiver’.

joining hands

The road leading towards the mountain peaks was fairly narrow. Today, though, it has been somewhat expanded, even though, more needs to be done. My dad was driving, mom busy chatting with dad. I was in the back seat and as I recall, my younger sister on the other side. The time was the early 60′s and I was a young teen at the time. A tall mountain of snow was facing me as we drove through a canyon of snow piled up along the road. The time of the year, winter and the place Jackson Hole Wyoming. Whenever we took a road trip during this time of the year, the snow would be piled very high on both sides from the heavy onslaught of white stuff we got in the area every year. Our goal was to go see the Elk herds wintering in Jackson. This was a fun family event, even though it took us a long time to get there.

We lived about five hours from Jackson in a valley where my Grandfather and grandmother homesteaded pre-1900′s. They had come over in a covered wagon to this part of the country and saw great changes and difficult times, including the great depression. Even as a young lad, I can remember the snow pack, good times, and deep family roots we had. Being raised a Methodist, I was of hard working lineage. Simply put my grandparents were of those who made practically everything, grew everything, and knew there is a God in heaven.

As I look back on those days, filled with hard work and simplicity, it was a time that knew challenges as well. Those were the true cold war days with nuclear fall out drills played out in school. It was the days of John F Kennedy, his assassination, and the Cuban missile crisis. Yet for all that, it was a time when the political intrigue was far away and any thought of America’s downfall was not even discussed. After all, the fall of America could not happen.

Moreover, that was then, this is now. We live in a day and age when stress comes at Americans from all corners. And not only us, but people in every country are facing their own level of stress and trying times. The times, they say, are unique. Even though many biblical scholars put the beginning of the Last days during the Apostles age, today we are truly in the very last of the last days. I don’t think anyone would argue that point. The thinking on many minds with the economic crisis, two wars, and un stability in many sectors of American life is, will we survive?

I am now going to quote my book ‘D Day for America’. On page 19, I put a statement by one of the greatest American Generals of all time. Here is his quote:

“History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic declines. There has either been a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse or an ultimate national disaster.”
General Douglas Mac Arthur [D Day for America, pg 19, Xulon Press]

Again I quote the book on page 18 in which I flatly tell the readers what I intended to bring out in the message of the book!

“Now this book is neither about dates nor setting them. I do not intend to make lengthy diatribes to convince you America is going to be judged (along with other nations). That this judgment is coming, and soon is all I will say. I take it as a fact, revealed to me by the Lord. Some will believer, others will not, it’s their choice.”
[D Day for America, Xulon press, ISBN 1-59781-843-7, copyright 2006]

We, as much as I do not want to be the bearer of such tidings, have not even come close yet to the trouble which I know is coming. The fact that this is the generation in which this comes, does make us the ones to whom it will fall to bring the message, faith, and testimony of the LORD Jesus Christ during the times to come. We are the ‘Chosen Generation’ to which this falls. It is a time when men, women, children, seniors, races, and creeds will face the ultimate upheaval of the United States of America and the world as no other generation. This will far surpass the Civil War, World war I, World War II, the Korean Conflict, Vietnam, and the last numerous wars in the Middle east.

This time will be one of destruction, plagues, pestilence, famines, war, violence, bloodshed, hatred, immorality, pride, wickedness, betrayal, persecution, unbelief, witchcraft, black magic, soothsayers, New age, liberal Christian doctrines embracing the ‘spirit of Jezebel’, and much more. These will be experienced in the nation we call America. Not one man will be able to bring the judgment to an end. The shaking has been going on, it will continue until the LORD is finished. It will be a time when many will die, many others will suffer, and the nations overall will be heaving too and fro as the ‘snare’ upon the earth fastens its hold on all the inhabitants.

Luke 21:34  And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35  For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

This will be a time when many will be mad, ashamed, afraid, terrorized, and even hold God guilty. It will bring about what I believe to be the ‘falling away’ mentioned in 2 Thessalonians and bring in the ‘son of Perdition’ who will have his own dark power to do signs and wonders. His message will target a world that has turned away from the ‘Love of the truth’ and thus will begin in earnest his rise to his appointment as the ‘true destroyer’ he is. It will also begin his ‘war with the saints’, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith & testimony of Jesus [Y' SHUA Ha Massiach] Christ.

The ‘Love of the Truth’ was revealed to the World through the Son of God. It was full of mercy, so man could obtain grace, given from the Father!

John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

The world and the carnal church having rejected God and His Son, also will follow unrighteousness be deceived by this wicked one!

2 Thessalonians 2:8  And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9  Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

It is at this time that the world will see with a deluded eye the man of sin, called the ‘son of perdition [destroyer]‘, so named because he will lead many into the destruction he is headed for. This chosen dark deceiver will sit on the throne in the true temple of God, which will be on the temple mount and will be built according to true Jewish law. He will declare himself God and will speak great and mighty blasphemies against the True God of Heaven.

2 Thessalonians 2:3  ¶Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

America will be swallowed up in this. I believe that beyond any doubt, our technology, ability, and resources are wanted and needed by those who want to bring in the deceiver. I also believe that we will help install this deceiver as well as leave our roots which were grounded in the constitution and the old testament laws.

Matthew 24:22  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.
Mark 13:20  And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath

In order to do this, these who are bringing in this deceiver will foment certain destructions upon the USA in order to weaken the resolve of the people for democracy, freedoms, personal rights, and gun’s. In the end, all will fulfill the prophecy and the Word of God. For the Lord will come, but not before the deceiver is revealed. He will come, but not before much destruction. He will end the destruction before all flesh ceases to exist on this planet.  But in all this, we will see the birth of a New kingdom of Righteousness. We are on the front row seats to the greatest revelation in the history of the World.

Revelation 11:15  And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
