A Swedish newspaper told this tale: ON his morning's ride through Copenhagen, Denmark's king, Christian X, saw a N**i sw****ka waving over a public building in violation of the terms HI**er imposed on Denmark. "Take it down!!" the King ordered a German officer in front of the building. "Orders from Berlin," replied the officer. "The flag must be removed before 12 o'clock; otherwise I will send a soldier to do it," the monarch declared. "The soldier will be shot," warned the N**i officer. "I am the soldier!!" said the King. The sw****ka came down. When the enemy of our souls put his banner over the rebel world it was our King from Heaven who came to deal with him. The highest angels could not avail for this task (Jude 9). But the Lord spoke plainly to the enemy, went to the very heart of his citadel, becoming sin in our behalf that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death (Heb.2:14) There was no other good enough to pay the price of sin; He only could unlock the gate, of Heaven and let us in.

I'm sure everyone has heard of Webster's Dictionary. I'll bet everyone has at least one edition in their home.Let me tell you a little about the man, Noah Webster. He was born in Hartford Connecticut in 1758 during the American Revolution. He believed strongly in the independence of the United States and he was determined America was to have its own language. Before writing his 1828 Dictionary he learned 26 languages, at a time when folks studied by candle light. I often use my 1828 dictionary and looked up the word Vicar the other day.The definition of Vicar in the 1828 is - In a general sense, a person deputed or authorized to perform the functions of another, a substitute in office. The Pope pretends to be Vicar of Jesus Christ on Earth. The Vicar has under him a Grand Vicar, who is a Cardinal, and whose jurisdiction extends over all priests, regular and secular. The Vicar has for over 20 centuries, since the fall of Rome, obtained and maintained the position over the souls of men. Charles Spurgeon, wisely said, "The Church of Rome was Satan's masterpiece." Millions of people still today fall under his power. This was foreseen in II. Thess. 2:3&4 "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; 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." Salvation is in the Savior Alone! (Isa. 43:25) The Lord said,"I even I am he that blotteth out thy transgression for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sin." Not the Pope! The Great Pretender! How much clearer could it be made that salvation is in Christ alone? Why would you think that you could pay someone that is human, just as yourself, to do something supernatural? It took divine blood to pay the price for our sins and he didn't charge for it. The Apostles, when being sent out by Jesus were commanded, "Freely ye have received, freely give." (Isa.44:24) "Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;" To the poor souls that try to work and pay their way into Heaven and continue to pay for their loved ones to be released from Purgatory, be it known. "Neither is there salvation in any other for there is no other name under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." (Acts.4:12) "And thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins!" (Matt.1:21) "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved," Jew, Greek, Bond or Free, Male or Female, all are one in Christ Jesus.

Crossing the Line
Trans-gender is an abomination and a shame to those that do those things in secret. History repeats itself, however in degeneracy. For there is nothing new under the sun. As was then, so**my, so now, yet with a name change (trans-gender). (Romans 1:26) "For this cause God gave them up to vile affections; for even their women; (yes the hand that rocked the cradle did change the natural use into that which is against nature. Not to be out done likewise, also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; Men with men working that which is unseemly." Definition of unseemly - Webster Dictionary 1828 - Uncomliness; indecency; in decorum, impropriety. Conclusion (Lev.18:22) "Thou shalt not lie with man kind as with woman kind; it is abomination, neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith; Neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto; It is confusion, the word beyond this given to Israel states defile not ye yourselves in any of these things. For in all these the nations are defiled, which Cast out before you;" Note: The promised and delivered consequence and compensation. (Lev. 18:25) " And the land is defiled; therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. (vs.25) The nation of Israel warned not to be as their predecessors else they would reap nationally the same consequence. The land would spue them out also. History would repeat itself, (Lev.18:27&28) Trans-gender is another name for calling evil good and good evil; calling darkness for light and light for darkness, that put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. (Isa. 5:20) "The nation of Israel held the line. Christ Jesus born of a virgin to regenerate by second birth the degenerate. Divine blood encased in sinless flesh. The just for the unjust. (I.Cor.6:9-11) "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?... nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind... And such were some of you; but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Something to Shout About
The Thessalonians Church had something to cry about. The departure of a loved one, but not eternally, only temporarily. Since the days of Adam all die, all cry for their present loss of loved ones, but not as others who have no hope. David's men gave their allegiance to the son of Jess. Being chased from pillar to post by a demonically jealous man, Saul. David temporarily enlisted with the Phillistines and Achish, the king of the Phillistines. However, the Amalkites had invaded Ziklag, David's strong hold and smitten and burned it with fire; and had the women captives, and carried them away. When David got to Ziklag, it was burned with fire and their wives, sons and daughters taken captive. They cried till they had no more power to weep. David was greatly distressed and the people spake of stoning him. David "Encouraged himself in the Lord his God." (I.Samuel 30:6) He was given a promise, "Thou shalt surely over take them, and without fail recover all," and so he did recover all. Nothing lacking, "David recovered all."
Did David return and not recover to his fighting men all? Was any not rescued? No! "There was nothing lacking," small or great. sons or daughters, nothing lacking. Why? David recovered all!!! They, David's men had something to shout about. Their loved ones had been absent for a while. Regardless of tears and grief. Grief relief came in full measure. As if they had never had departed because of what David imparted. Shall we not ourselves one day have our redeemed loved ones given completely, and gloriously back by the SON of DAVID!!! Did the church of Thessalonica not have their love ones taken from them by the enemy called death. Didn't the Son of David abolish death and bring life and immortality to light through the gospel!!! YES! Will He not return the dead to the living surely as he returned Lazarus to his sisters, saying, "Lazarus come forth....loose him and let him go." What a word is this? (I.Thess.4:13&14)"But I would not have you to be ignorant brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him." Yes Lord I believe!!! Now that's something to SHOUT ABOUT!!!!
