The Island of Misfit Toys by Pete Garcia

Several weeks ago, many of us got a major shock when we found out the Omega Letter website was finally closing its doors after seventeen-year run online. Upon hearing the bad news, one of the member faithful commented in the forums, well, sh*$. Probably not the most Christian response one could give, but perhaps the most human.

For many, the Omega Letter had long been a church to the churchless. It was a respite for the weary. A lighthouse on an island amongst a sea of internet ministries. The light the Omega Letter helped shine, provided direction, clarity, and safe-passage for those trying to navigate the often-murky waters of how bible prophecy fits into our world today. The Omega Letter was also a house of prayer; where many could help lift each other up and help bear each other’s burdens in these last days. In those regards, many in the member forums became like family.

Jack Kinsella’s sudden death in 2013 rocked many within the Pre-Tribulation/ Dispensational communities. He was well known and well respected for his astute insights and articulate prose. Many wondered if the OL doors would have shuddered even back then, but we (the staff writers) kept writing. We continued to do so long as the family decided to keep the lights on. Even as devastated as many within our small (and shrinking) communities were about the loss of Jack (along with all the other solid Bible teachers we have lost as of late), the world never noticed.

There was no media coverage. No biographies in the New York Times or other papers of note. No mention at all except for those from within the Pre-Trib community. It was as if the world never even noticed. I am sure from their perspective; people like us at the Omega Letter are just a bunch of backwards, knuckle dragging, bible-thumpers. I am also sure from the mainstream churches perspective that we are on the fringe. We are truly like the island of misfit toys that no one wants or cares about, the proverbial tin-foil hat brigade.

Perhaps that is all true as well.

Many of us (myself included) are poor, broken, flawed, and unwanted. In and of ourselves, we have little strength (or chance) to stand against the overwhelming rising tide of apathy and evil that is sweeping across our land. It was along this vein by which a world, whom is increasingly being given over to its own demise, that we should become a safe harbor for the shipwrecked and destitute. It was not heaven or perfection the Omega Letter offered, but a refuge from the storm for those weary of wandering. A warm, cozy place they could sit and stay a spell. What Jack began, we carried on for another five years in his honor. The fact that the OL ran for 17 years is a testament to the integrity and ministry Jack left behind.

I would like to think Jack is beaming down on us from Heaven right now, proud that his life and legacy continued for as long as it had after his death. That the readers and writers faithfully continued to contribute in this labor of love, devoting hundreds of hours of study, prayer, and research into this little corner of the internet. We fearlessly put our thoughts and ideas to pen and paper each day, contributing to a family who, for the most part, we have never met. Moreover, with the Omega Letter’s closing, most of us will go our own separate ways. Some of us will continue to write in our own venues, but we individually, will never have the same magic we had together collectively.

Speaking personally, writing can be a heavy burden when done faithfully, consistently, and honestly. I would devote many hours each week to give the very best analysis and insight I could with the limited time I had in which to do it. And as always, I did so gratis. That is not to brag or to pat myself on my back for the seven-years and over 350 articles published. I did so because this was where God wanted me to serve. I think we all believed this to be a labor of love, one in which we all served willingly.

With that said, this is my final article for the Omega Letter.

It seems just as surreal saying this, as I am sure it is many of you reading this. Thank you (the faithful readers) for supporting the Omega Letter over the years. A heartfelt thanks to Jack, Gayle, Kari, the Kinsella family, and my fellow OL writers (Alf, Wendy, JL, Steve, Rebecca, Frank, and Ed) for a wonderful experience and journey over the years. Thanks for continuing for another five years when it would have been so much easier to just let the website close back in 2013.

Lord willing, I will continue with my own little island refuge for the time being for anyone who cares to stop by and stay a spell (www.rev310.wordpress.com). You can also read my articles at Rapture Ready and Rapture Forums when they post them. Let me close with my favorite passage, and I hope that it brings you much joy and peace in the time we have left, as it has done for me over the years.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2nd Corinthians 4:17-18

Until we meet again, Maranatha!

Pope Francis: “The Devil Made Us Do It!”

Some of the readers of this piece are not old enough to remember Flip Wilson’s comedic character, Geraldine.  On the Flip Wilson show which aired in the 70’s, Geraldine would always use the same excuse for her behavior:

“The devil made me do it!”

Now, stories are emerging that Pope Francis knew about the bishops sexual abuse and even attempted to cover it up.

From neonettle.com

**My commentary will be indented.

Pope Francis has blamed The Vatican child abuse scandal on Satan, who he claims is working hard to undermine the Roman Catholic Church.

Now, let me get this straight.  Satan is working hard to expose the sexual child abuse by bishops and other Vatican leaders? So if we follow that line of thinking, then none of us should have any consequences to our actions UNLESS the devil works hard to expose us, right? And then, we have the right to say “Satan exposed my sins!”  Brethren, remember who the Bible calls the author confusion!

The Pontiff has once again deflected the Catholic church’s pedophilia problem onto the devil and had urged Catholics around the world to recite a specific prayer every day in October to try to beat him back.

So NOW the head of the Vatican is pleading with Catholics all over the world to say a prayer against Satan – essentially to shut Satan up about the pedophiles in the Catholic church.  REALLY?  Pope Francis is recruiting Catholics to be part of this insanity?

‘(The Church must be) saved from the attacks of the malign one, the great accuser and at the same time be made ever more aware of its guilt, its mistakes, and abuses committed in the present and the past,’ Francis said.

This is pretty slick.  Francis continues to blame Satan for “revealing” the horrific and perverted offenses of the clergy; but throws in a bit about the guilt, mistakes (MISTAKES?) and abuses of said clergy.  Does any of this make sense? Perhaps Francis could blame Satan for tempting these guilty pedophiles.  But he blames the evil one for uncovering the SINS!

According to the DM: Since he was elected in 2013, Francis has made clear that he believes the devil to be authentic.

In a document in April on holiness in the modern world, Francis mentioned the devil numerous times.

Obviously, this news source is not Christian – so therefore they mock Francis for saying that the devil is real.  What hit me square between the eyes about Francis reiterating that the devil is real – he almost NEVER mentions our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!  Mary, who Catholics believe is co-Redemptrix with Jesus is mentioned numerous times in Catholic masses.

‘We should not think of the devil as a myth, a representation, a symbol, a figure of speech or an idea. This mistake would lead us to let down our guard, to grow careless and end up more vulnerable,’ he wrote in the document.

Oh, the irony!  Francis exclaims to the Catholic people that they truly need to believe in the devil.  He should know him intimately – after all,  he WORKS for him!

The Church has recently been hit by one sexual abuse scandal after another, from Germany, to the United States, to Chile.

At the same time, a deepening polarisation between conservatives and liberals in the Church has played out on social media.

Francis’ use of the term ‘the great accuser’ to describe Satan hit a raw nerve with one of the pope’s harshest conservative critics, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the Vatican’s former ambassador to Washington.

In an 11-page statement published on August 26, Viganò launched an unprecedented broadside by a Church insider against the pope and a long list of Vatican and US Church officials.

He accused Francis of knowing about sexual misconduct by a former US cardinal with male adult seminarians but not doing anything about it.

Viganò, concluding that his former boss had singled him out as the devil in disguise, complained in his next statement that Francis ‘compared me to the great accuser, Satan, who sows scandal and division in the Church, though without ever uttering my name’.

On Sunday, a top Vatican official issued a scathing open letter accusing Viganò of mounting a ‘political frame job devoid of real foundation’ and contesting his accusations against the pope point by point.

Brethren, none of this surprises me.  If you missed my article on homosexuals and pedophiles in the Catholic church – here is the link:

“St. Sebastian’s Angels: A Network of Gay Catholic Priests”

Francis is so convinced that Satan is ultimately to blame for both the sexual abuse scandals and the divisions within the Church that he has enlisted the aid of St Michael the Archangel.

Can you imagine the reaction of our Lord Jesus – knowing that His Warrior Archangel, Michael, who by the way is not a “saint” is being called upon to stop Satan from uncovering sin? BLASPHEMOUS.

Michael is mentioned several times in the Bible as the leader of the angels who ousted Lucifer, the fallen angel, from paradise.

Catholics are being asked to recite the rosary daily in October and conclude it with a prayer to St Michael that was said after Mass until 1964 but then fell into disuse.

The prayer reads: ‘St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.

Be our defence against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.’

Michael is NOT a “saint” he is the Archangel and leader of the armies of God.  And the definition of “saint” to Catholics is completely wrong.  Catholics deem only those who have done so-called miracles to be named “saints” and then they make graven images of these people.  We know that in the Bible, all of us who are born again are His saints!

Here is an article from neonettle.com from September.  The title of the piece is sufficient for the reader to understand that Pope Francis is either possessed or completely out of his mind:

From neonettle,com  (Sept 2018)

Title of article:  “Pope Francis: Bishops Child Abuse Accusers are Allies of Satan”

Read article here

I would like to conclude this piece with an observation which I believe we should all be aware of.

We know that the Vatican is NOT the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ.  They are a works based “cult” and the Bible clearly tells us that we are under the new Covenant of Grace.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast”   (Ephesians 2:8-9).

The corruption of many of the popes of the Vatican, would astound most Christians. I strongly advise the reader to take time and research the history of the popes.

Because the evil one is the father of lies and the author of confusion, it should not surprise us that Catholicism has been at the forefront of the Pro-Life movement since Roe Vs. Wade was passed in 1973.  This somehow has given credence to that false institution because people will always bring up their involvement in Pro-Life.

Being Pro-Life is commendable and a wonderful thing. But it does not negate the fact that Catholicism is a cult.

I pray that more and more people will have their eyes opened by our Lord, and they will come out of the Catholic church and into the Love, grace and forgiveness of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Hijacking Evangelicalism: George Soros Funding Apostate Church Movements

It seems to me that myriad apostate church movements have come over America like a huge tsunami wave in the past few years.  I asked myself  “Could this have just happened spontaneously?”

Let’s look at just some of these movements:

  • Emergent church
  • NAR (New Apostolic Reformation)
  • Social Justice gospel
  • Chrislam
  • Red Letter Church Movement

I have researched on the internet for so many years for my articles.  There had to be a catalyst for the springing up of so many “churches” teaching doctrines of devils.

I realize that the Word of God warns of a Great Falling Away:

“Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you,  not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,  who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God”  (2Thessalonians 2:1-4)   (emphasis mine).

Trouble in my spirit

Knowing that the prophetic Word of God is always fulfilled to the letter; I still searched for a common thread throughout this great apostasy.  And the Lord allowed me to find it.

George Soros

Through the years, I have written extensively about this wicked man. He uses his money and influence across the globe to push his Marxist/Socialist ideologies AKA “Progressivism.” He interferes geopolitically, always keeping in his warped mind, the goal – the One World Government and One World Religion.

Soros, along with his cronies in the Illuminati, will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.  And we know that these goals will come to fruition. We just don’t know when.

I am convinced that this man has many devils residing in him.

Could Soros be funding the so-called “Christian Left”?  If ever there was an oxymoron, “Christian Left” would have to top that list.

The Left have nothing to do with Biblical Christianity.

The many Leftist NGO’s owned and run by George Soros:

Founded or helped to found:

  • Open Societies Foundations  (open borders)
  • Central European University
  • Institute for New Economic Thinking   (Marxism)
  • Clinton Foundation

Soros Supporting:

  • Black Lives Matter
  • Media Matters for America
  • Planned Parenthood Action Fund
  • American Civil Liberties Union
  • Amnesty International
  • National Democratic Voting Rights Trust
  • America Votes
  • Immigrant Voters Win PAC
  • Every Voice
  • Occupy Movement

As you will read in this article, we can now safely add other movements to Soros’ Progressive resume.  But this is clearly the first time Soros has spearheaded “religious movements”

  • Red Letter Christians
  • Social Justice gospel
  • Emergent church

I believe that a common saying would be most appropriate  here:

“If you cannot beat them then join them.” And in the case of this demon filled man, he joined only to corrupt true Christianity.

From blottingoutgod.com     The following article was written during the Obama regime.

When someone believes social justice is more of a biblical priority than social issues, chances are their faith is based on the politics of man rather than the inspiration of God’s Word. Founded by Jim Wallis and Tony Campolo, Red Letter Christians are one such group of liberal progressives whose purpose is to counter the influences of the conservative Christian movement and traditional evangelicals.

Another founder, Catholic writer Richard Rohr, believes we need to earn our way to heaven. Still another, homosexual advocate Brian MacLaren, refutes the inerrancy of Scriptures. Trying to appear apolitical, these opportunistic ideologues criticize Republicans and conservative Christians while pushing their own political agendas.

According to apologist, Richard Haas;

Another major problem with the Red Letter Christian movement is its cherry picking approach to the use of Scripture. This group will concentrate on certain parts of the Bible that promote their agenda while excluding other parts of the Bible that either contradict or do not fit the Red Letter Christians agenda… Groups like the Red Letter Christians while seeming tolerable and peaceful in their purpose are actually undermining and dishonoring Christ and His kingdom.

The following is an excerpt from the book, ERADICATE: BLOTTING OUT GOD IN AMERICA:

Every word in the Bible is written exactly as God wants it to be. Our faith in the integrity of Scripture begins with permanence:

The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever (Isaiah 40:8).

Bible publishers probably had good intentions when they highlighted the teachings of Jesus by printing them in red letters, but this has helped some emergent church leaders find another way to cast doubt on the entire Bible. Jesus Christ is the Truth and He is the Word – the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Jesus came to fulfill the law, the Old Testament. Every letter the apostle Paul wrote points to the perfect person of Jesus Christ. The Old Testament, the Gospels, and the New Testament are all in complete agreement and harmony.

Red Letter Christians teach that the sayings of Jesus are somehow more holy, sacred, or inspired than the rest of Scripture, but we know the whole counsel of God is perfect.

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teach­ing, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16).

One obvious agenda for this false teaching is to justify homosexual­ity [and minimize abortion].

These popular evangelical authors pit God and the apostle Paul against Jesus by telling their followers Jesus didn’t specifically address homosexuality. By this they imply Jesus must approve of that which He did not address directly. This is ludicrous and would also lead to the false conclusion that Jesus also approves of cannibalism, rape, or vampires since He didn’t specifically mention them. This is their logic.

These leaders argue that since Jesus taught about loving “the least of these,” how can we call someone that Christ commands us to love, sinful? Jim Wallis notes that the early church shared everything when he said,

“In those red letters, Jesus calls us away from the consumerist values that dominate contemporary American consciousness.”

Wal­lis and Campolo have gained cult-like followings by speaking against the Christian establishment and against Republicans as they make the rounds on the college circuit. They can disagree with parts of the Bible if they’d like, but what amazes me is that people fall for it.

For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished (Matthew 5:18).

Red Letter Christians advocate unrestricted big government, often equating the welfare state with the Kingdom of God.

Jan Markel of Olive Tree Views believes they are practicing a form of Neo-Marxism. Markel points out these leaders promote tolerance and mercy while claiming conservative evangelicals spend too much time worrying about abortion and homosexuality. Markell stated:

“Red-letter Christians champion ‘social justice’, the cause of illegal immigrants, environmentalism, high taxes, discrimina­tion issues, socialized medicine, and getting rid of the death penalty. …This crowd loves to spend other people’s money. They put down conservative Christianity when, in fact, it is conservative Christians who are first to step up to the plate whenever there is a disaster at home or abroad!”

Red Letter Christians profess to hate religion and love Jesus. Though there is not a clear statement of faith on their website, they do list the Apostle’s Creed and give a charge to follow the words of Jesus (not the entire Bible). Their list of contributors and recommended authors is a roll call of the progressive evangelical hall of shame.

When someone’s theology seems to be driven by a desire to justify and promote a political agenda or a sinful lifestyle rather than honestly interpret what Scripture teaches, that’s called handling the Word of God deceitfully. We must confront that which comes against truth.

We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5 ESV).

In June of 2010, Reverend Jim Wallis was asked if he believed abor­tion and homosexuality were sins. Christian radio station General Manager, Mike Le May, got the answer loud and clear: Wallis shouted at him, called him a “right-wing Kool-Aid drinking Glen Beck follower” and hung up the phone. I documented the divisive controversy that led to this exchange in my book, ERADICATE.

On Monday, Wallis – being faithful to the Democratic Party platform – openly admitted to supporting same-sex marriage. Not surprisingly, a spokesperson for Wallis’ Sojourners magazine could not say whether or not Wallis believes homosexuality is a sin.

Appointed by President Obama to his White House faith council, some say Wallis is a progressive evangelical because his primary support is from leftists.

In 2011, it was revealed by investigative journalists that Wallis’ Sojourners magazine received hundreds of thousands of dollars from radical socialist George Soros. Why would an anti-American financier like George Soros give large grants to Sojourn­ers?   (emphasis mine)

Jim Wallis first denied the Soros connection saying, “No, we don’t receive money from George Soros… Our money comes from Christians who support us and who read Sojourners.”

Soros is a corrupt billionaire from Hungary aiming to destroy America’s Christian ideals and freedoms that made us a great nation. His hatred for America fuels the financing (over $52 million) of left-wing media outlets and groups including those promoting abor­tion, atheism, homosexual activism, socialism, and government expansion. It’s no wonder Jim Wallis tried to hide the truth.

George Soros is working to destroy America’s system of capitalism and this connection between Wallis and Soros should not be ignored.  (emphasis added).

On their website, Sojourners quotes people like Gandhi, the Dalai Lama, new age leader Marianne Williamson and empha­sizes social justice, environmental activism, diversity, and immigra­tion.

Wallis seems to look at the Bible in light of the world around him rather than looking at the world in light of God’s Word. From his White House platform, he attacks Republicans while calling himself a “nonpartisan evangelical minister,” and is very popular among liberals who routinely vilify Christians for their involvement in political issues.

According to Wallis:

“As more Christians become influenced by liberation theology, finding themselves increasingly rejecting the values of institu­tions of capitalism, they will also be drawn to the Marxist analy­sis and praxis that is so central to the social justice movement.”

Early in his career, Wallis founded an anti-capitalist magazine called the Post-American which identified wealth redistribution and government-managed economies as the keys to achieving social justice. He changed the name to Sojourners in the early 1970s. During his college years at Michigan State, Wallis joined the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), a radical organization that aspired to overthrow America’s institutions. Wallis remains opposed to the free market system in America.

Over the years, Jim Wallis has been pro-Vietcong and actually celebrated America’s defeat in Vietnam, stating:

“I don’t know how else to express the quiet emotion that rushed through me when the news reports showed that the United States had finally been defeated in Vietnam”

In 1979, the journal Mission Tracks pub­lished an interview with Wallis, in which he expressed his hope that “more Christians will come to view the world through Marxist eyes.”

Wal­lis was listed as one of three “Religion and Socialism Commission co-chairs” in a 1982 Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) newsletter. He promotes equally distributed wealth, but this type of socialism has never been able to create the abundance needed to lift the poor out of poverty. Most importantly, his social justice politics cast aside the Great Commission of Christ – to make disciples of all nations – and can be confusing to people.

In 2005, Wallis was hired by Senate Democrats to help turn religious voters into Democrats in part by sprinkling references to God and faith into their speeches to dupe people into thinking they found religion.

The next year, in a 2006 radio broadcast, an interviewer asked: “Are you then calling for the redistribution of wealth in society?” Wallis replied, “Absolutely, without any hesitation. That’s what the gospel is all about.” Whose gospel?

According to 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, the true Gospel is about faith in Jesus Christ for eter­nal salvation:

Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, …For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures…

Author, editor-in-chief of World Magazine, and Provost of The King’s College, Marvin Olasky has debated Jim Wallis. Olasky writes:

“Biblically, justice – tied to righteousness – is what promotes faith in God, not faith in government… Learn about the biggest institutional hindrance to economic advancement for the poor: the government’s monopoly control of taxpayer funds committed to education and welfare.”

In a 2008 interview with Christianity Today, Wallis promised to “work very hard to make abortion reduction a central Democratic Party plank” for the first time. It’s been seven years since Wallis made that promise and over 1.2 mil­lion babies continue to be aborted every year. He claims “poverty and global inequality” are today’s fundamental moral issues.

The glaring hypocrisy of religious liberal and social activist Jim Wallis has again been exposed, and we should pray for those confused or deceived by this very “different gospel” the Christian Left promotes. source

Brethren, I am not blaming Soros for the leaders of the Apostate movements. I am simply showing the reader that once again we can “follow the money.”

I don’t believe that Soros is Antichrist, but he certainly is an evil force in this world who is a foreshadowing of the Wicked.  Each day when this man awakes – he is consumed with nefarious plans for Globalism.

The election of Donald Trump as our president in 2016 was a set back and a huge disappointment to Soros and his Illuminati cronies.   They were certain that they would see another Clinton in the White House.

Well, our God had other plans.   But don’t forget that for the world stage to be set for the appearance of AC – Globalism will be a reality.

But not today.

Beware: MANY Aliases for Dangerous “Church of Almighty God” CULT

I have been writing for years on a very dangerous and violent Chinese cult called “Church of Almighty God” AKA “Eastern Lightning.”

A reader of my articles wrote to me yesterday asking if I had ever heard of “Christian Holy City Church.”

Here is the email:

Dear Sister Geri:

“I’m a little concerned about Christian Holy City Church. Who are they? I have been contacted by “Jasmine” and asked to translate from English into Romanian a passage. My bewilderment comes from the fact that their name sort of came out of the blue on Facebook. Anything you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Is it a cult?”

I immediately went online to see what I could find. I was not shocked to see that this was yet another alias for “Church of Almighty God.”

If you have not read my exposé on “Church of Almighty God” here is the link:

“CULT ALERT: Don’t be fooled by Church of Almighty God AKA Eastern Lightning”

In my research of the new name “Christian Holy City Church” I was shocked to find that this dangerous cult is using at least 10 aliases – probably many more:

About “Eastern Lightning”

From  seyiaku.com

Eastern Lightning

Eastern Lightning is a religion founded in China in 1989, and led by Mr Zhao (Xu) Weishan, a former a physics teacher and member of the unbiblical Shouters sect. Followers believe that the Messiah has returned and lives in the body of Weishan’s wife, Yang Xiangbin, a.k.a Lightning Deng, also a former member of the Shouters. The Chinese government has classified Eastern Lightning as a dangerous and “evil cult”.

The name “Eastern Lightning” sounds a bit like the name of a race horse, which is perhaps why adherents, when speaking with outsiders, more frequently use the alias:

  • Church of the Almighty God or
  • Church of the Gospel’s Kingdom

They have traditionally targeted house churches in China, word amongst whom has spread, putting them on guard. Consequently further aliases have sprung up more recently, and include

  • The Congregation
  • Oriental Lightning
  • Seven Spirit Sect
  • Second Savior Sect
  • True Light Sect
  • True Way Sect, and
  • New Power Lord’s Church

No doubt other names have been coined since this webpage was written. All churches, worldwide, must be on guard.  (emphasis mine)

Their members have been accused of kidnapping, extortion, brainwashing, torture and even murder – not only accused in the courts, but found guilty and convicted. Eastern Lightning’s official rebuttal is that the accusations are lies, conjured up by the Chinese government to discredit them. The Communist Party of China is described in Eastern Lightning literature as the “Great Red Dragon”, portrayed in Revelation 12, as the persecutor of God’s chosen people.

Eastern Lightning and the State are likely to continue their battle and this page does not attempt to debate which side is more flawed; rather we look at the meaning of the Eastern Lightning’s emblem.

(But you’ll notice which side we disagree with more.)

The emblem

There are three elements to the emblem:

  1. The star in the east
  2. The cross
  3. The crescent

and we’ll look at each in turn.

  1. The Star of the East

    (Actually, the star’s position on the emblem is northeast, as is Henan, China, where the religion was founded. But let’s not quibble and allow them some latitude.)

    The name Eastern Lightning comes from Scriptural references to the returning Messiah and the east in Matt. 24:27

    “For just like the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.”

    Note the wording carefully. Matthew does not say that the second coming of Christ is the lightning, but just like the lightning. Matthew does not say that Christ will return from the east, and even if he did, that does not necessarily mean China.

    To make sense of Matthew’s eastern reference we must remember that the Gospel of Matthew was written for the benefit of all mankind, but in particular for the benefit of early Christian churches in Israel. The geopolitical borders have shifted a bit since then, but the Arabian Desert is still to the east.

    It doesn’t rain much in the desert (< 100 mm per annum) so thunder and lightning are rare. It takes a pretty explosive lightning to light up the whole sky, and that makes such lightning from the east even more rare; so rare that it would be supernatural.

    Now, if indeed Yang Xiangbin is the Messiah, then for Eastern Lightning’s interpretation of Matthew to be correct, the bolt of lightning in China would have to be strong enough to be visible in Israel, permanently blinding the eyes of the billion or so people who live between the two countries. That rather contradicts Rev. 1:7 “every eye will see him.”

    Unfortunately for Ms Yang & Co., China doesn’t fit that interpretation of Matthew, neither does “Son of man” really mean “Daughter of man”, and the little star in your emblem looks more like a twinkle than an explosion of light.

  2. The cross

    The Cross represents the apparatus used to kill Jesus, and this points to one of the many glaring differences between Jesus Christ and the new Yang “Christ”.

    When Jesus was persecuted by the civic authorities, he presented himself to the court to receive his punishment, then dragged a rough wooden cross to Calvaryon which he was crucified. From there he rose again, lives in Heaven, yet is in our hearts.

    When Yang Xiangbin was persecuted by the civic authorities, she updated her passport, dragged her smart suitcase to the nearest airport and fled the country to New York, where she lives happily ever after with her husband Zhao and their son.

    Including a cross in the emblem is curious.

  3. The crescent

    The crescent moon is favoured by followers of Islam, but Eastern Lightning is as distant from Islam as it is from Christianity.

    Christians (and Muslims) do not dispute that Matthew wrote:

    “For just like the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.”

    and neither do they dispute Matthew’s words, just four verses prior (Matt. 24:23)

    “If anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe him. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”

Eastern Lightning is banned in China, the most populous nation on earth, and is seeking to expand. As already mentioned, their tactics traditionally target small churches.

האן לו היא מנהיגה בכנסיית האל הכול יכול בסין היבשתית. היא מאמינה באלוהים מזה עשר שנים ומעלה, וחוותה את עבודתו של האל הכול יכול באחרית הימים. היא מבינה אי-אילו אמיתות ויודעת שרק באמצעות המשיח של אחרית הימים, האל הכול יכול, בני האדם יוכלו להשתחרר מן החטא ולחיות חיים בעלי משמעות. היא ויתרה על הכול כדי ללכת בעקבות האל הכול יכול, ונסעה ממקום למקום כדי להעיד על הופעתו ועבודתו של אלוהים באחרית הימים. אך בסין, היכן שהמפלגה הקומוניסטית האתיאיסטית נמצאת בשלטון, אין חופש אמונה דתית. הממשלה הקומוניסטית הפיצה מסמכים סודיים שאוסרים לחלוטין על כל הכנסיות הביתיות, והיא לכדה ורדפה משיחיים בקדחתניות. האן לו ואחרים היו נתונים למעקב בידי שוטרי הממשל הקומוניסטי, ובסופו של דבר נלכדו. שוטרי הממשל הקומוניסטי עינו את האן לו בברוטליות כדי לנסות לשדוד את כספי הכנסייה וללכוד מנהיגים נוספים בה. הם גם השתמשו בשמועות ובשקרים כדי לנסות לשטוף את מוחה, השתמשו במשפחתה כדי לנסות להכריעה, והפעילו שיטות בזויות אחרות כדי לנסות ולאיים עליה, מתוך ניסיון לאלצה להתכחש לאלוהים ולבגוד בו… בכאבה ובחולשתה, האן לו נסמכה על אלוהים והתפללה לו, ובהדרכת דברי אלוהים הצליחה לחדור לעומקם של כל תכסיסי השטן. היא צלחה חקירות רבות בעינויים והפריכה בעוצמה את כל השמועות והשקרים של הממשל הקומוניסטי. בתוך אווירה מרה של רדיפות מטעם הממשל הקומוניסטי נמסרה עדות יפהפיה ומהדהדת…

‘sweetness in the depths of trouble’ | a short film about the hauntings that suffered the church of God Almighty

Han lo is a leader in the church of God Almighty in the continental China. She believes in God for ten years and above, and that he has done the work of God Almighty in the end of days. She understands some truths and knows that only through the Messiah of the apocalypse, God Almighty, humans can be free of sin and live a life of meaning. She gave up everything to follow God Almighty, and drove from place to place to testify to the appearance and work of God in the end of days. But in China, where the communist party atheistic is in power, there is no freedom of religious faith. The Communist government made secret documents that were completely distributed on all home churches, and it captured the came and the messianic. Han Lou and others were subjected to surveillance by the communist government officers, and eventually captured. The Communist government officers tortured han brutally to try to Rob the church’s money and capture more leaders in it. They also used the rumours and the lies to try to wash her mind, use her family to try to lhkryʻh, and and other menial methods to try and threaten her, out of attempt to deny God and betray him… and to his love, han lo hinged on God and forgive him, and say God’s word Managed to penetrate all the devil’s tricks. She has been doing a lot of investigations in torture and also all the rumors and lies of the communist government. In a bitter atmosphere of persecution from the communist government, there was a beautiful and beautiful testimony.

Pastors worldwide, beware. – source

Brethren, please know that this growing satanic cult is now using the internet social medias to find people who will translate a passage of Chinese into various languages. The above translation into Hebrew is just one example of what these people are doing worldwide!

This can only mean that they are propagating their lies by having them in many languages to spread throughout the world.

Just diabolical.

If you are approached by a stranger, asking you to translate something – PLEASE KNOW that this is part of this satanic cult!

The recruiter for translations:

Recruiter’s “Linked in” page

I found a “Linked In” page for a top recruiter for this cult. He is in charge of networking the translations. His name is Steven Liu.

You can see his many projects here

I clicked one of the projects of this cult member called “Large Christian Translation Project”

Brethren, this just never seems to end. It is growing like a spider’s web on the internet, and pulling in unsuspecting people.  PLEASE ASK your friends and family if they are in any of the groups **refer to the list of aliases above.

We are in the last days and Satan knows it. Evil and deception are rampant.

I am trying my best to keep up with this most dangerous cult and its many aliases.

“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons” (1 Timothy 4:1).

” For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect”   (Matthew 24:24).  

 

Believe it or not, CNN Has a piece exposing this Evil Cult:

From CNN

Eastern Lightning:  “The Banned Religious Group that has China Worried”

Brethren, please read the CNN piece in its entirety. When CNN publishes something like this, it is very out of character for them.  They KNOW that this a murderous cult and they estimate that there are over 1 million members at this time.

And to the CULT members:

I know that you are viewing this article. You have no power over me. I worship the True and Living God who came to earth (Jesus Christ) to die on the Cross for our sins. He was resurrected on the third day and is now seated in heaven at the right hand of His Father.

Jesus Christ will NOT come back as a Chinese woman.  He came the first time as a Lamb to be slaughtered.  The NEXT time He comes it will be as KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS!    I pray that those belonging to this Satanic cult will know the truth and come out from those lies.

And if you conspire to bring me harm, please know that I have a network too! The information gathered and presented in this article is now in the hands of HUNDREDS of true children of God.

How Can I Be Saved?

Shalom b’Yeshua

MARANATHA!
