| JUDGMENT
JULY 7, 2001
Unto all who are sanctified in our Lord Christ Jesus: All Hail: Is It well with thee?: I am well in the love, peace, and patience of a saint. May the Name of the Lord our God be revered forever: and His saints redeemed from the sinfulness of men. For in the Spirit of the Lord am I lifted up, to preach His praise to all men, that all nations of the earth bow their heads and bend their knees at the mention of His Name. For who is like unto Him? And who can be compared to Him? The Lord our God, Creator of the heavens and the earth, who give us air to breath and life to live. A Mighty God is He who looks fondly upon the true worshippers: but hate the deeds and doctrine of the Nicolaitanes (Revelation 2:6, 2:15), whom the earth know as Christendom.
And if there be any that be offended by the Truth, then the Truth is not in them. For even some called to be apostles of the Lamb are offended by the Truth: thus their calling has passed them by and shall not return. And it be better that a man had not been called, than to be called and chosen, but blotted out; because the devil came and took away the word from out of his heart. These are those whose pride and ego lead them to be offended by the Truth.
Why are men saying that the apostle Ysmael and I are preaching hatred and not love? Can they not see that we are preaching what is holy and true in the name of Christ? Can they not see the love in our testimony for righteousness: the concern we have for others above ourselves? It is obvious that these men only see what they want to see: and hear what they want to hear. Thus, they take all things in part. Neglecting the whole testimony, but dwelling on a part that might dissuade our listeners. For these are agents of Satan, sent out to take the word from out of a mans heart, that they might keep him from being saved. These are those living in sin who are offended by the Truth, because with the Truth they cannot justify their unrighteousness.
I tell you the truth: let him that is led away, be led away. For in the regeneration of Jesus Christ, which days these are, you are what you were in the ancient of days. So why waste the time of trying to convince a man of the truth, when he cannot be convinced if he oppose the truth? For the apostles of Christ were sent to convince the men of earth: but the apostles of the Lamb and the disciples of Truth are sent to gather the true worshippers. For what did our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ say: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a mans foes shall be they of his own household (St. Matthew 10:34-36). Surely men do not preach the whole testimony of Jesus Christ; yet they skip over these Scriptures and claim that my interpretation of the Scriptures is false and misleading. But this be the truth: They have nothing else they can say; because they have no Scriptures to refute my testimony. I interpret nothing: for the Scriptures I bring need no interpretation but common sense. And is it not written, No prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation (II Peter 1:20). Take up the Authorized King James Version of the Bible, that you may know the Word of God as it was given in the ancient of days. For what is easier to read is not better to read, as I described in the Sermon called the Sabbath.
Here is wisdom my friends: And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. (II Peter 3:15-18)
There are many that think they understand the Scriptures, but understand them not, and accept no correction, but follow their own eyes to destruction. These are those whose lips honor Christ, but hearts are far from him, because they know him not: so they are blind in the eyes of their mind. These are those who place their own heart and understanding above the Scriptures: thus they have abandoned their common sense. So the Truth I bring have no effect on them, because the Scriptures have no effect on them, though they say they believe on our Lord Jesus Christ. For they believe only in that which they want Jesus to be, and not what Jesus is: for they worship in spirit but not in truth.
Out of love I come with a prayer that every man might be saved, knowing that they will not: because prophecy cannot be changed. For the true believers shall believe: and the unbelievers shall not: but those on the fence have a choice. But if the Scriptures have no effect on them, how can I have an effect on them? Surely I am not greater than the Scriptures, but a servant of the Scriptures, which has truly sent me.
Let us open our Holy Bibles this Sabbath to Isaiah 55:6-11: and let us Read and Hear: Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it .
Seek the Lord I beseech you, O people of the earth, while the Lord may be found: for the hour come when He shall not be found on this earth. For His mercy and forgiveness shall depart from the earth like the sun disappears at night. For as it is written: For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment (James 2:13): so shall it be.
So let the wicked forsake their ways and return unto the Lord: and Christ shall bestow his mercy: and the Father shall grant His pardon. And the most filthy shall become the most clean: and the darkest mind shall become the brightest. For we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God: but if we repent and put away the sins and the darkness of our ways, the Lord is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins, and to redeem us from out of our ignorance. For I Cornelius, whose Spirit was sent from the throne of Christ, to inhabit the flesh of one that was a sinner and a liar more, that men might learn the err of their ways and be cleansed from sin: found myself unworthy in my eyes of my calling. But the Lord ponders the heart of every man: and redeemed me from the ashes of death because of my heart and mind to serve the Lord with cleanliness and purity. I cannot change the sins of my past; and surely they shall return to haunt me till I lay down my life for the gospel of Christ. Nevertheless, I am redeemed by the grace of God, no longer to walk as the old man, but a new, born of God. And there can be no sin in me: because my end is righteousness. And the end justifies the means if the end is righteous. So I live to serve God according to His will, and to preach against sin with a key to free all men from the prison of sin. I am sent as a servant of God to show my fellowservants the way to rid themselves of sin; and to overcome the world as Jesus overcame the world.
Surely there is no condemnation in those that walk in Christ: but how can you walk in Christ with unrighteousness: for all unrighteousness is indeed sin.
How can a man enter the body of Christ with sin? There is no sin in Christ: surely his grace does not allow for sin to enter into his sanctuary. Did not Christ spill his blood that we be cleansed from sin to enter his body free of sin? What be the judgment then of those that continue in sin? Should the grace of God continue to forgive them of their sins while they live in sin? What mockery does a man make of the grace of God when he preach the love of God while living in sin: justifying his unrighteousness in the name of Gods grace? Should the judgment of our Lord overlook his sins?
The hour come when we all shall be called to the judgment seat of Christ: let us be clean when we stand before his seat: for in that hour we cannot be cleansed: and woes and everlasting Death is the judgment of the unclean: but eternal Life is the reward of those that endure unto the end.
Let us turn our Bibles to Jude 3-9: and let us Read and Hear: Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
My friends, these are surely the days of the regeneration of Jesus Christ, when the judgment of Christ is fulfilled. For what did Jesus say: Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out (St. John 12:31). And it is written: And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having mens persons in admiration because of advantage.
But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh (Jude 14-23).
I come not to preach fire and brimstone, but fire and brimstone be the truth of the days to come; and my testimony is given for the days to come. So I am not discouraged by the scorn and revilement from men; neither is any true worshipper of God: for such is the fulfillment of prophecy.
Let us turn our Bibles to the book of Habakkuk 2:1-4: and let us Read and Hear: I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith .
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it .
How mighty is the Lord our God when after reading His Judgment a man shall run.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie :
The hour of judgment is an appointed time which no man knows the day or hour. But in that hour and on that day, it shall speak as it is written in the Spirit of Prophecy.
Though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry .
So be patient with the patience of a saint: for the prophecy shall be fulfilled even though years must pass. But in that hour and on that day, it shall not tarry: for one woe behind another shall come quickly.
His soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith .
We who are called to be sons of God are lifted from out of sin: and by our faith shall the just find salvation; and be given the armor of God to stand in the evil day (Ephesians 6:13-18).
Now let us turn our Bibles to the book of Zephaniah 1:14-18: and let us Read and Hear: The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness. A day of the trumpet and alarm against fenced cities, and against the high towers. And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORDs wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land .
And let us Read and Hear: Nahum 1:2-6: God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers; Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein. Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him .
And let us Read and Hear: Zechariah 14:12: And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth .
And let us Read and Hear: Zephaniah 2:11: The Lord will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen .
And let us Read and Hear: Zephaniah 3:8-9: Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger; for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy. For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent .
Read these Scriptures my brethrens and know them well: for these are the prophetic passages from the Old Testament that shall be fulfilled by the Book of Revelation. And if a man should say, Why do you preach fire and brimstone when God is love? I say unto that man and all who agree: The regeneration of Jesus Christ is love, peace, fire, and brimstone: for is that not the book of Revelation? Thus repent from your sins and seek not to justify your uncleanliness: for all unrighteousness is sin. And where be a man on this earth that have more love for others than I? For what did Jesus say, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends (St. John 15:13).
How much love do you truly have within you? Bring all of Christ love or bring nothing: for if you come short of Christ love, you surely cannot be saved, neither can you save another. So what is all of Christ love but to lay down your life for your friends. And if one should ask, What be a friend? Jesus said, Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you (St. John 15:14). And if a man should say, Jesus was speaking only to his disciples. I say unto that man and all who agree, Did Jesus not lay down his life for all in sin? So we all are friends of Jesus if we do whatsoever he commanded. And what did Jesus say about sin: Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee (St. John 5:14). Thus, free yourself from sin: and walk no more in the filth of sex without marriage, and drunkenness, and adultery, and homosexuality, and Christianity, and all unclean and wicked things. For if we be friends of Christ, then we are saints of Christ. And if we be saints of Christ, then we follow Christ to our salvation, which salvation is of the Jews (St. John 4:22). Surely if Jesus had changed his doctrine to Christianity when he rose from the dead, would he not have converted a Gentile to replace Judas instead of converting a Jew of the name Saul, whose name was changed to Paul? Why are the twelve disciples of Jesus Jews and not Gentiles? Surely the term Christianity is not used in the Bible. So from where does Christianity come? Let a man read the Stone of Truth.
I tell you no lie: Men seek their own understanding and not Gods: Such is why they are unlearned in the Scriptures though they recite the words. For what be form without content? And what be the surface without substance?
All unrighteousness is sin: so how can a man practice Christianity and be free of sin?
Let no man attempt to justify the doctrine of Christianity: for if it be not of Hebrew customs and traditions it cannot be of Christ. For when we trace the generations of Jesus flesh, we find Abraham as the progenitor (St. Matthew 1:1-17). So if we be followers of Jesus Christ, why would we practice that which Jesus did not practice? For what be the Last Supper, but the Passover feast (St. Matthew 26:17-29): and what was the ordaining of his apostles, but Hebrew customs (Read the Seven Keys).
If a man seek the knowledge of Jesus Christ, let him find the knowledge of Jesus Christ: for it be surely written in the Four Gospels. For I speak not of my own words, but with the words of Jesus Christ himself, which are not new, but written in the Holy Bible. For Jesus surely said to his apostles: Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned (St. Mark 15:15-16). He that believe not shall be damned: This is the judgment of Christ Jesus.
So how do we know if we believe in Jesus Christ, or are deceived in our own judgment? Here is the wisdom: and I pray you hear every word: for these are the words of Christ himself: Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. I receive not honour from men. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I am come in my Fathers name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? (St. John 5:39-47). So if a man believe the writings of Moses, then he believe the words of Jesus Christ. What then is the true doctrine of Jesus Christ, but reformed Hebrew customs and traditions. What then is Christianity, but a spiritual lie in the name of Christ.
Now let us take heed my brethrens to the Scriptures of II Peter 3:7-14: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
Beloved men of Israel: by the blood of the Lamb is the faithful seed of Israel restored as the salt of the earth. And those who make war against our testimony; make war against the saints of Christ; and against the Name of God. But I shall not lift arms against any; neither shall any of the apostles; nor any of the saints. For that great day of the Lord is near: and the Lambs book of life shall fulfill all things. For it is surely written in the book of Revelation 20:12-15 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire .
Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord God of Israel is One. And only by the Name of His Son Christ Jesus shall a man find a place in the kingdom of His Majesty: for there is no other God but the Lord our God: the True and Living God: the Holy and Most High God: the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, is His Name. Let His enemies tremble: for His wrath is great and nigh. Let our enemies run: for His vengeance cometh; and moveth quickly.
O people of the earth: The hour of Redemption is at hand: Repent and be baptized in the Spirit of Truth. For I am sent to separate the just from the unjust: that the just be sealed in the True Name of the Lord: and the unjust left to the judgment of Death and Hell.
And I say this not to scare you: but to warn you of the things to come. For it might be hard to believe, but you best believe, that I am the Son of man, sent down from the throne of God with the blood of Christ. For unless the blood of Christ is spilled again, how can your sins find remission? For is it not written, Without the shedding of blood there is no remission? (Hebrews 9:22) And is it not written, Where there come a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator? (Hebrews 9:16) Do you not know that I bring a testament, which is the Lambs book of life, which be the last will and testament of Christ?
Yet, men call me a self-proclaimed messenger of God: and a false prophet. But what else should I expect from the earth, when they spoke the same words to Jesus Christ, and these be the days of the regeneration.
He that have understanding let him know the wisdom of these words: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation (Hebrews 9:27-28).
I Cornelius, raised as a Hebrew-Christian in the Church of God and Saints of Christ, judge not; but leave all judgment to the Spirit of Truth; which dwell in me, to breathe for me, and talk for me, and write for me. Thus, judgment begins with me, and I am found without spot or wrinkle. For the redemption of Christ has cleansed my spots and pressed my wrinkles: for I am now born of Spirit and Truth: and will not become blemished again: for such is fatal judgment.
Let no man be mistaken: for I am the savior of no man: for Christ alone be the savior: I am only the vessel used to bring the keys of salvation to your remembrance.
The hour come, and now is the hour of judgment for the regeneration, which begin at the Church of God: for have I not sent an epistle to the Temple Beth-El and the remnant of Prophet Crowdy. Yet, they call not on me, but remain silent. So what shall become of them, but that which has already been told of them in the epistles. It is written in Peter 4:17-19 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
I leave you this Sabbath O servants of the Most High: the beloved children of Israel and all true worshippers of God, with these words from the mouth of our Creator: For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee. O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children. In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD (Isaiah 54:7-17).
Let those who seek salvation find it in the only place there is: but let the hour of Judgment wait for no man. Amen. And let the people say, So be it.
