QUESTIONS are important – asking them is how we learn. Asking the right questions help us to find the right answers. Of all the questions of a lifetime, which question above all others is the most important, bar none – the one question that a human soul owes to ask itself before they die, with the intent of finding the answer?
It was the question that the LORD Himself asked:
MATTHEW 16:15, 16-17
15 … "But who do you say that I am?”
Your answer to that question will not only determine the course of your life, but your eternal destiny as well.
16 Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 17 Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.
We who know the LORD have found the answer to that question, just as Peter did. Everyone needs to find it before they leave this world!

The Christian community across America and the globe is mourning the loss of a great American who was (and still is!) a godly influence in the nation and the church and most especially among our youth.
I’m speaking of Charles James Kirk, dutiful son, beloved husband and father, committed Christian, co-founder (along with Bill Montgomery) and president of TURNING POINT USA.
The website has the position of leader currently listed as “vacant”. I am intently praying that GOD answers our plea and fills that position not with one, but several leaders – and spreads to leadership raised up in chapters all across America (would you agree with me in prayer in this regard?).

FIVE PRIMARY THEMES of the Book:
1) SUCCESS – Success came when Israel obeyed GOD, trusting in GOD’s abilities, His promises, His faithfulness rather than their own military might and other human resources.
2) FAITH – By trusting GOD they would be assured of GOD’s salvation and leading. Observing GOD’s faithfulness gave them the faith to continue trusting in GOD.
3) GUIDANCE – GOD’s instructions to Israel for every aspect of life followed through by His faithful attendance to their needs and their GOD-given ability to claim the land promised to them.
4) LEADERSHIP – Joshua was an excellent leader, demonstrating his confidence in the LORD’s strength, being courageous in the face of opposition and willing to always seek GOD’s counsel.
5) CONQUEST – GOD commanded His people to conquer the land, bring judgment to the unrepentant Canaanites and acquire all of their land.
And as we discussed before, this book is divided into three sections:
1) ENTERING THE PROMISED LAND – the people of Israel cross over the Jordan into Canaan (JOSH 1:1-5:12)
2) CONQUERING THE PROMISED LAND – The nation begins their GOD-ordained mandate to take the land promised to them (JOSH 5:13-12:24)
3) DIVIDING THE PROMISED LAND – The twelve tribes received their land allotments. (JOSH 13:1-24:33)

In PART ONE we discussed many things regarding the preparation for the Beast's arrival. We'll continue now with discussing these things and conclude the article with a Profile of the Person of Perdition.
In articles at TTUF and The RED PILL Consortium, we have observed how many of the global organizations, preeminently the UN, possess esoteric writings and beliefs which run throughout their infrastructures of doctrine, specifically and accurately – the doctrine of demons (1 TIM. 4:1); again these doctrines come primarily through the Theosophical Society via Lucis Trust, World Goodwill and other organizations which represent UN NGO's (Non-Government Orgs.):
“The United Nations has long been one of the foremost world harbingers for the "New Spirituality" and the gathering "New World Order" based on ancient occult and free masonic principles.
Seven years after the birth of the UN, a book was published by the Theosophist and founder of the Lucis Trust, Alice Bailey, claiming that,
"Evidence of the growth of the human intellect along the needed receptive lines [for the preparation of the New Age] can be seen in the "planning" of various nations and in the efforts of the United Nations to formulate a world plan... From the very start of this unfoldment, three occult factors have governed the development of all these plans"
[Alice B. Bailey, Discipleship in the New Age (Lucis Press, 1955), Vol. II, p.35.]”

The Beast or anti-Christ will not appear magically on the world scene and assume a kingdom, spontaneously conjured with a wave of his satanically powered 'magic wand'. In order to establish the reign of anti-Christ, Satan has had much work to do in preparing to achieve his end goal. 2 THESSALONIANS 2:9
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, All the power of Satan, the host of fallen angels at his command, and his kingdom of darkness are all being used to bring about conditions conducive to the reception of the Beast on planet Earth and for the establishment of his One World Order. Various “signs” are pointing the way by this insidious Pied Piper of Perdition. Lying wonders are being utilized to mesmerize humanity into a sense of destiny that will destroy it, outside of repentance and salvation of Jesus Christ.

Examining JOHN 14 – Part 2 of 3
Introduction: This portion of Ch. 14 is very relational in its content. There is the relationship that the Father has with the Son, and the Son with the Father – then there is the Holy Spirit. There is the relationship we saints have with Christ, and with the Father and the Spirit.
We are part of the family of GOD, no longer orphans (vs. 18), but adopted (ROM 8:15,23; GAL 4:5; EPH 1:5). This isn’t the typical idea of adoption we know here in the West. In Greek culture a mature male adult (not a relative) would sometimes be adopted to carry on the family line. At such a time they are “adopted” – in the sense that they are bequeathed all of the authority and privileges of the family name.
We were outside the family of GOD, but He adopted us as His own through none other than the LORD Jesus Christ Himself.
The text also deals with our labors, and how we are to draw from the Spirit, the way that the Son did during His earthly ministry. One might say we’re in “the family business”! But isn’t it truly a labor of love?
As I’ve said before: Only in working in the Kingdom of GOD can we find rest for our souls (MATT 11:28-30)!
