Early Church and Gnostic Error
Gnosticism goes all the way back to the Tower of Babel and the mystery religions propagated by Nimrod and his wife. The one major benefit they had going for them at the time was that everyone on the earth spoke only one language (and I’m guessing it was Hebrew, but have no proof of that). The other asset was that everyone on the earth then lived in one place, on the plain of Shinar, which is where Nimrod began to build his “stairway to heaven,” known as the Tower of Babel.

Coming to a Head in 2024?
I cannot imagine that 2024 will be easy. This November we’ve got a presidential election and it seems clear enough that the powers that be cannot allow Trump to be part of that process. Whether or not their efforts backfire remains to be seen, but they’re certainly trying every fascist move they can try.
1st Century Christian Teachings, Pt 1
It is safe to say that if the ancient church fathers gained their knowledge regarding the Scriptures from the apostles, by and large, the same ancient church fathers would then simply pass along what they had personally learned from those apostles. Interestingly enough, we see this very clearly as we study the church fathers’ writings.
Politics, Economy and Religion
As noted in a previous article, according to author James Musker, the power elite have their eye on gaining control over the three “legs” that prop up any society: politics, economy and religion. Once they can gain control over those things, they have won and are then able to imprison the world according to their dictates.

The Best Approach
The picture of true love that Paul describes is based on a heart that literally seeks greater and greater humility, steadily becoming more and more like Jesus Himself! That person is wholly affected because they’ve come to understand that the more humble they become, the more they become like Jesus! Isn’t that the very essence of being and living life as a Christian?
Word Pictures from the Shroud
I don’t worship the Shroud, but I do appreciate what the Shroud appears to portray; a suffering Servant who thought it not robbery to be equal with God, “…but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father,” (Philippians 2:7-11 NKJV).
What To Do?
So we can wrongly focus on the human agents as reprehensible as they often are in being sold out to controllbalists. Or, we can acknowledge that there are powerful supernatural entities behind those human agents and whenever one of those human agents falls or is taken out of the way, there are plenty of other human agents ready to fill in the void.
Signs of the Times?
Some of the very same tenets pushed by those who had embraced either Theosophy or Buddhism during Pember’s day (more accurately reflected today as New Age), are the exact same tenets being pushed today. This is not by accident, but by design.
Choosing Wisely
Please don’t get me wrong. I’m not telling people what to do here. I’m simply suggesting that Christians take the time to deliberately pray for wisdom in the many situations that we face daily. To me, it seems as though it is becoming exceedingly important to seek and use wisdom and discernment from God in all the situations we face.

Daniel 4 Part 2
Pride is the worst of sins because it controls our thoughts, words and deeds. It gives rise to many other sins. God hates pride (Prov 8:13; 16:5; James 4:6; 1 Peter 5:5, etc), and if He is willing to do this to King Nebuchadnezzar, how much more does God want all pride rooted out of His children?
