There
is
no
new
thing
under
the
sun.
Matt
3:1-17
1
In
those
days
came
John
the
Baptist,
preaching
in
the
wilderness
of
Judaea,
2
And
saying,
Repent
ye:
for
the
kingdom
of
heaven
is
at
hand.
3
For
this
is
he
that
was
spoken
of
by
the
prophet
Esaias,
saying,
The
voice
of
one
crying
in
the
wilderness,
Prepare
ye
the
way
of
the
Lord,
make
his
paths
straight.
Do
we
have
a
type
of
"John
the
Baptist"
with
us
today?
The
name
"John"
means
"YAHOVAH
is
a
gracious
giver".
The
title
"Baptist"
is
defined
as:
910
Baptistes
(bap-tis-tace');
from
907;
a
baptizer,
as
an
epithet
of
Christ's
forerunner:
KJV--
Baptist.
907
baptizo
(bap-tid'-zo);
from
a
derivative
of
911;
to
immerse,
submerge;
to
make
overwhelmed
(i.e.
fully
wet);
used
only
(in
the
N.
T.)
of
ceremonial
ablution,
especially
(technically)
of
the
ordinance
of
Christian
baptism:
KJV--
Baptist,
baptize,
wash.
911
bapto
(bap'-to);
a
primary
verb;
to
overwhelm,
i.e.
cover
wholly
with
a
fluid;
in
the
N.
T.
only
in
a
qualified
or
specially,
sense,
i.e.
(literally)
to
moisten
(a
part
of
one's
person),
or
(by
implication)
to
stain
(as
with
dye):
KJV--
dip.
(Strong's)
910
Baptistes-
1)
a
baptizer
2)
one
who
administers
the
rite
of
baptism
3)
the
surname
of
John,
the
forerunner
of
Christ
907
baptizo-
1)
to
dip
repeatedly,
to
immerse,
to
submerge
(used
of
vessels
sunk)
2)
to
cleanse
by
dipping
or
submerging,
to
wash,
to
make
clean
with
water,
to
wash
oneself,
to
bathe
3)
to
overwhelm
Not
to
be
confused
with
0911,
bapto.
The
clearest
example
that
shows
the
meaning
of
baptizo
is
a
text
from
the
Greek
poet
and
physician
Nicander,
who
lived
about
200
B.
C.
It
is
a
recipe
for
making
pickles
and
is
helpful
because
it
uses
both
words.
Nicander
says
that
in
order
to
make
a
pickle,
the
vegetable
should
first
be
`dipped'
(bapto)
into
boiling
water
and
then
`baptized'
(baptizo)
in
the
vinegar
solution.
Both
verbs
concern
the
immersing
of
vegetables
in
a
solution.
But
the
first
is
temporary.
The
second,
the
act
of
baptizing
the
vegetable,
produces
a
permanent
change.
When
used
in
the
New
Testament,
this
word
more
often
refers
to
our
union
and
identification
with
Christ
than
to
our
water
baptism.
For
example,
Mark
16:16.
`He
that
believes
and
is
baptized
shall
be
saved'.
Christ
is
saying
that
mere
intellectual
assent
is
not
enough.
There
must
be
a
union
with
him,
a
real
change,
like
the
vegetable
to
the
pickle!
--Bible
Study
Magazine,
James
Montgomery
Boice
(May,
1989).
911
bapto-
1)
to
dip,
to
dip
in,
to
immerse
2)
to
dip
into
dye,
to
dye,
to
color
Not
to
be
confused
with
0907,
baptizo.
The
clearest
example
that
shows
the
meaning
of
baptizo
is
a
text
from

(Thayer's)
"preaching
in
the
wilderness
of
Judaea"
Now,
many
men
today
claim
to
be
preachers;
they
claim
to
preach
the
Bible.
But,
do
they
teach
YAHOVAH'S
Word
of
Truth?
What
does
this
word,
translated
into
the
English
as
"preaching",
really
mean?
2784
kerusso
(kay-roos'-so);
of
uncertain
affinity;
to
herald
(as
a
public
crier),
especially
divine
truth
(the
gospel):
KJV--
preacher
(-er),
proclaim,
publish.
2784
kerusso-
1)
to
be
a
herald,
to
officiate
as
a
herald
a)
to
proclaim
after
the
manner
of
a
herald
b)
always
with
the
suggestion
of
formality,
gravity
and
an
authority
which
must
be
listened
to
and
obeyed
2)
to
publish,
to
proclaim
openly:
something
which
has
been
done
3)
used
of
the
public
proclamation
of
the
gospel
and
matters
pertaining
to
it,
made
by
John
the
Baptist,
by
Jesus,
by
the
apostles
and
other
Christian
teachers
This
speaks
of
"heralding"
YAHOVAH'S
divine
Truth
and
heralding
the
coming
of
YAHSHUA.
This
was
done
openly,
for
the
benefit
of
all
who
would
or
could
'hear'
and
take
heed
to
the
instructions
heralded.
In
John's
time,
only
those
who
were
in
the
vicinity
of
these
acts,
could
learn
from
that
which
was
heralded.
Yet,
let's
take
a
deeper
look
as
to
that
which
was
written.
"preaching
in
the
wilderness
of
Judaea"
For
today,
the
word
"Judaea"
implies
'the
whole
world',
rather
than
just
the
specific
areas
where
John
spoke.
2449
Ioudaia
(ee-oo-dah'-yah);
feminine
of
2453
(with
1093
implied);
the
Judaean
land
(i.e.
Judaea),
a
region
of
Palestine:
KJV--
Judaea.
1093
ge
(ghay);
contracted
from
a
primary
word;
soil;
by
extension
a
region,
or
the
solid
part
or
the
whole
of
the
terrene
globe
(including
the
occupants
in
each
application):
KJV--
country,
earth
(-ly),
ground,
land,
world.
And,
so,
we
can
see
that
through
the
acts
of
John
the
Baptist,
the
whole
world
can
now
have
access
to
that
which
was
heralded.
The
world
can
read
of
it
in
YHVH'S
Word.
The
world
can
learn
of
these
things
through
all
who
teach
HIS
Truth.
Let's
continue
looking
at
this.
Have
we
heard
or
read
of
this
"wilderness"
in
the
prophecies
given
for
this
last
generation?
Rev
12:1-17
1
And
there
appeared
a
great
wonder
in
heaven;
a
woman
clothed
with
the
sun,
and
the
moon
under
her
feet,
and
upon
her
head
a
crown
of
twelve
stars:
Who
is
this
"woman
clothed
with
the
sun"?
You
shall
find
in
the
Strong's
Concordance
that
this
word
"woman"
refers
to
a
"wife".
This
"wife"
is
surrounded,
bathed,
clothed
in
the
Sun.
"
The
"woman"
is
YAHOVAH'S
Wife,
or
better
said,
the
Church.
Upon
the
head
of
the
"woman"
(church,
assemblage)
is
a
crown.
The
crown
refers
to
government,
as
does
the
twelve
stars
which
are
representative
of
the
twelve
tribes
of
Israel.
Under
"her"
feet
is
the
"moon".
Gen
3:15
15
And
I
will
put
enmity
between
thee
and
the
woman,
and
between
thy
seed
and
her
seed;
it
shall
bruise
thy
head,
and
thou
shalt
bruise
his
heel.
(KJV)
Rom
16:20
20
And
the
God
of
peace
shall
bruise
Satan
under
your
feet
shortly.
The
grace
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
be
with
you.
Amen.
(KJV)
Rev
12:
2
And
she
being
with
child
cried,
travailing
in
birth,
and
pained
to
be
delivered.
The
True
Church
yearned
to
be
brought
forth,
as
a
woman
in
labor.
Rev
12:
3
And
there
appeared
another
wonder
in
heaven;
and
behold
a
great
red
dragon,
having
seven
heads
and
ten
horns,
and
seven
crowns
upon
his
heads.
This
is
Satan's
church
and
his
governmental
beast.
Rev
12:
4
And
his
tail
drew
the
third
part
of
the
stars
of
heaven,
and
did
cast
them
to
the
earth:
and
the
dragon
stood
before
the
woman
which
was
ready
to
be
delivered,
for
to
devour
her
child
as
soon
as
it
was
born.
5
And
she
brought
forth
a
man
child,
who
was
to
rule
all
nations
with
a
rod
of
iron:
and
her
child
was
caught
up
unto
God,
and
to
his
throne.
YAHSHUA
was
brought
forth
in
the
flesh,
but
returned
to
Heaven
after
HIS
crucifixion.
Yet,
YAHSHUA'S
Teachings
carried
forth
into
all
the
world.
And,
the
world
was
given
The
Savior.
Rev
12:
6
And
the
woman
fled
into
the
wilderness,
where
she
hath
a
place
prepared
of
God,
that
they
should
feed
her
there
a
thousand
two
hundred
and
threescore
days.
YAHOVAH'S
Church
was
kept
safe
by
taking
flight
into
the
wilderness
(in
the
world).
Can
FATHER'S
Church
hide
in
the
midst
of
and
in
plain
site
of
all
the
people
of
the
world?
Yes,
because
the
world
does
not
have
'eyes
to
see'
who
is
of
FATHER'S
True
Assemblage.
And,
because
of
all
the
confusion,
various
denominational
rhetoric
and
abundance
of
the
traditions
of
man,
most
of
the
world
simply
closes
their
eyes,
ears,
and
hearts
to
all
religion,
and,
therefore,
closing
themselves
off
from
YAHOVAH'S
True
Church
and
HIS
Assembly
receives
no
more
notice
than
does
those
who
teach
without
knowledge.
Please
take
note
of
this
amount
of
time,
"a
thousand
two
hundred
and
threescore
days".
This
shall
be
brought
up
again
later.
For
now,
please
acknowledge
that
during
this
time
period,
hidden
in
plain
sight,
YAHOVAH'S
Church
was
both
prepared
and
fed.
Rev
12:
7
And
there
was
war
in
heaven:
Michael
and
his
angels
fought
against
the
dragon;
and
the
dragon
fought
and
his
angels,
8
And
prevailed
not;
neither
was
their
place
found
any
more
in
heaven.
9
And
the
great
dragon
was
cast
out,
that
old
serpent,
called
the
Devil,
and
Satan,
which
deceiveth
the
whole
world:
he
was
cast
out
into
the
earth,
and
his
angels
were
cast
out
with
him.
10
And
I
heard
a
loud
voice
saying
in
heaven,
Now
is
come
salvation,
and
strength,
and
the
kingdom
of
our
God,
and
the
power
of
his
Christ:
for
the
accuser
of
our
brethren
is
cast
down,
which
accused
them
before
our
God
day
and
night.
11
And
they
overcame
him
by
the
blood
of
the
Lamb,
and
by
the
word
of
their
testimony;
and
they
loved
not
their
lives
unto
the
death.
12
Therefore
rejoice,
ye
heavens,
and
ye
that
dwell
in
them.
Woe
to
the
inhabiters
of
the
earth
and
of
the
sea!
for
the
devil
is
come
down
unto
you,
having
great
wrath,
because
he
knoweth
that
he
hath
but
a
short
time.
"he
knoweth
that
he
hath
but
a
short
time"
Satan's
time
has
been
shortened.
But,
from
what
amount
of
time
has
it
been
shortened?
Originally,
Satan
was
to
have
7
years.
This
7
years
was
in
two
sections
of
3
1/2
years.
Has
FATHER'S
Word
told
us
to
what
length
this
time
was
shortened?
Matt
24:3-22
3
And
as
he
sat
upon
the
mount
of
Olives,
the
disciples
came
unto
him
privately,
saying,
Tell
us,
when
shall
these
things
be?
and
what
shall
be
the
sign
of
thy
coming,
and
of
the
end
of
the
world?
4
And
Jesus
answered
and
said
unto
them,
Take
heed
that
no
man
deceive
you.
5
For
many
shall
come
in
my
name,
saying,
I
am
Christ;
and
shall
deceive
many.
6
And
ye
shall
hear
of
wars
and
rumours
of
wars:
see
that
ye
be
not
troubled:
for
all
these
things
must
come
to
pass,
but
the
end
is
not
yet.
7
For
nation
shall
rise
against
nation,
and
kingdom
against
kingdom:
and
there
shall
be
famines,
and
pestilences,
and
earthquakes,
in
divers
places.
8
All
these
are
the
beginning
of
sorrows.
9
Then
shall
they
deliver
you
up
to
be
afflicted,
and
shall
kill
you:
and
ye
shall
be
hated
of
all
nations
for
my
name's
sake.
10
And
then
shall
many
be
offended,
and
shall
betray
one
another,
and
shall
hate
one
another.
11
And
many
false
prophets
shall
rise,
and
shall
deceive
many.
12
And
because
iniquity
shall
abound,
the
love
of
many
shall
wax
cold.
13
But
he
that
shall
endure
unto
the
end,
the
same
shall
be
saved.
14
And
this
gospel
of
the
kingdom
shall
be
preached
in
all
the
world
for
a
witness
unto
all
nations;
and
then
shall
the
end
come.
15
When
ye
therefore
shall
see
the
abomination
of
desolation,
spoken
of
by
Daniel
the
prophet,
stand
in
the
holy
place,
(whoso
readeth,
let
him
understand:)
16
Then
let
them
which
be
in
Judaea
flee
into
the
mountains:
17
Let
him
which
is
on
the
housetop
not
come
down
to
take
any
thing
out
of
his
house:
18
Neither
let
him
which
is
in
the
field
return
back
to
take
his
clothes.
19
And
woe
unto
them
that
are
with
child,
and
to
them
that
give
suck
in
those
days!
20
But
pray
ye
that
your
flight
be
not
in
the
winter,
neither
on
the
sabbath
day:
21
For
then
shall
be
great
tribulation,
such
as
was
not
since
the
beginning
of
the
world
to
this
time,
no,
nor
ever
shall
be.
22
And
except
those
days
should
be
shortened,
there
should
no
flesh
be
saved:
but
for
the
elect's
sake
those
days
shall
be
shortened.
(KJV)
Dan
9:24-27
24
Seventy
weeks
are
determined
upon
thy
people
and
upon
thy
holy
city,
to
finish
the
transgression,
and
to
make
an
end
of
sins,
and
to
make
reconciliation
for
iniquity,
and
to
bring
in
everlasting
righteousness,
and
to
seal
up
the
vision
and
prophecy,
and
to
anoint
the
most
Holy.
25
Know
therefore
and
understand,
that
from
the
going
forth
of
the
commandment
to
restore
and
to
build
Jerusalem
unto
the
Messiah
the
Prince
shall
be
seven
weeks,
and
threescore
and
two
weeks:
the
street
shall
be
built
again,
and
the
wall,
even
in
troublous
times.
26
And
after
threescore
and
two
weeks
shall
Messiah
be
cut
off,
but
not
for
himself:
and
the
people
of
the
prince
that
shall
come
shall
destroy
the
city
and
the
sanctuary;
and
the
end
thereof
shall
be
with
a
flood,
and
unto
the
end
of
the
war
desolations
are
determined.
27
And
he
shall
confirm
the
covenant
with
many
for
one
week:
and
in
the
midst
of
the
week
he
shall
cause
the
sacrifice
and
the
oblation
to
cease,
and
for
the
overspreading
of
abominations
he
shall
make
it
desolate,
even
until
the
consummation,
and
that
determined
shall
be
poured
upon
the
desolate.
(KJV)
But,
to
what
amount
of
time
has
Satan's
time
been
shortened?
Rev
12:
13
And
when
the
dragon
saw
that
he
was
cast
unto
the
earth,
he
persecuted
the
woman
which
brought
forth
the
man
child.
14
And
to
the
woman
were
given
two
wings
of
a
great
eagle,
that
she
might
fly
into
the
wilderness,
into
her
place,
where
she
is
nourished
for
a
time,
and
times,
and
half
a
time,
from
the
face
of
the
serpent.
Now,
please
note,
in
Revelations
12:
8-9,
that
Satan's
religious
government
(dragon)
was
no
longer
found
in
Heaven.
"he
was
cast
out
into
the
earth,
and
his
angels
were
cast
out
with
him."
In
Revelations
12:13,
When
the
"dragon"
realized
that
he
was
cast
into
the
earth,
Satan's
dragon
persecuted
YAHOVAH'S
True
Church/assemblage.
"And
to
the
woman
were
given
two
wings
of
a
great
eagle,
that
she
might
fly
into
the
wilderness,
into
her

Eagles
are
included
among
the
unclean
birds
mentioned
in
the
Bible
<Lev.
11:13>,
(NKJV),
but
they
were
admired
as
majestic
birds.
The
golden
eagle,
which
is
really
dark
brown
with
sprinkles
of
gold,
has
a
26-meter
(8-feet)
wingspread.
It
nests
in
high
places
that
are
inaccessible
<Jer.
49:16>.
There,
in
a
nest
which
the
eagle
makes
larger
each
year,
the
eagle
hatches
two
eggs.
Usually
only
one
eaglet
survives
to
adulthood.
An
eagle
has
keen
eyesight.
He
can
spot
his
prey
while
soaring
hundreds
of
feet
in
the
air.
Like
a
lightning
bolt,
he
drops
to
seize
it,
killing
it
quickly
with
his
powerful
claws.
Then
he
swoops
back
to
his
nest
to
rip
the
meat
apart
and
share
it
with
his
young.
A
mother
eagle
carries
her
eaglet
on
her
back
until
it
masters
the
art
of
flying.
Moses
used
this
familiar
picture
from
nature
to
describe
God's
care
for
His
people.
God
stirred
up
Jacob
(the
nation
of
Israel),
and
carried
His
people
on
His
wings
<Deut.
32:11-12>
as
He
delivered
them
from
slavery
in
Egypt.
Solomon
marveled
at
"the
way
of
an
eagle
in
the
air"
<Prov.
30:19>.
An
eagle
can
stay
aloft
for
hours,
rarely
moving
his
wings
and
riding
wind
currents.
But
many
passages
in
the
Bible
also
speak
of
the
swiftness
of
the
eagle's
flight
<Deut.
28:49>.
The
belief
that
an
eagle
renews
its
strength
and
youthful
appearance
after
shedding
its
feathers
gave
rise
to
<Psalm
103:5>
and
<Isaiah
40:31>.
Eagles
do
have
a
long
lifespan,
living
20
to
30
years
in
the
wild,
and
longer
in
captivity.
In
the
Old
Testament,
prophets
spoke
of
the
eagle
as
a
symbol
of
God's
judgment
<Jer.
48:40;
Ezek.
17:3,7>.
In
<Revelation
12:14>,
"two
wings
of
a
great
eagle"
portray
God's
intervention
to
deliver
His
people
from
persecution.

What
or
who
are
these
"two
wings"?
Could
these
"two
wings"
refer
to
YAHOVAH'S
Two
Witnesses?
What
occurs
during
the
"time,
and
times,
and
half
a
time"?
YAHOVAH'S
True
Church/Assemblage
is
nourished
with
HIS
Word.
But,
Satan
is
not
yet
visible
in
the
earth
in
his
disguise
as
'Jesus',
for
the
Church/Assemblage
is
kept
from
the
presence
of
the
spurious
'Jesus'
during
this
period
of
time.
How
long
is
this
"time,
and
times,
and
half
a
time"
in
which
the
Church
is
nourished
and
protected
in
the
wilderness?
"And
the
woman
fled
into
the
wilderness,
where
she
hath
a
place
prepared
of
God,
that
they
should
feed
her
there
a
thousand
two
hundred
and
threescore
days."
Rev
11:3-4
3
And
I
will
give
power
unto
my
two
witnesses,
and
they
shall
prophesy
a
thousand
two
hundred
and
threescore
days,
clothed
in
sackcloth.
4
These
are
the
two
olive
trees,
and
the
two
candlesticks
standing
before
the
God
of
the
earth.
(KJV)
The
time
given
for
the
Two
Witnesses
prophesying,
as
they
are
clothed
in
sackcloth,
is
the
same
length
of
time
as
the
Woman
is
nourished
and
protected
in
the
wilderness.
Rev
12:
15
And
the
serpent
cast
out
of
his
mouth
water
as
a
flood
after
the
woman,
that
he
might
cause
her
to
be
carried
away
of
the
flood.
FATHER'S
Word
uses
the
analogy
of
'water'
to
represent
people.
The
term
'flood'
can
represent
a
destructive
torrent
or
deluge.
"that
he
might
cause
her
to
be
carried
away
of
the
flood"
refers
to
being
overwhelmed
or
drowned
spiritually.
Now,
how
does
Satan
and
his
government
cause
the
people
of
the
world
to
become
a
destructive,
overwhelming
flood?
Rev
9:1-12
1
And
the
fifth
angel
sounded,
and
I
saw
a
star
fall
from
heaven
unto
the
earth:
and
to
him
was
given
the
key
of
the
bottomless
pit.
2
And
he
opened
the
bottomless
pit;
and
there
arose
a
smoke
out
of
the
pit,
as
the
smoke
of
a
great
furnace;
and
the
sun
and
the
air
were
darkened
by
reason
of
the
smoke
of
the
pit.
3
And
there
came
out
of
the
smoke
locusts
upon
the
earth:
and
unto
them
was
given
power,
as
the
scorpions
of
the
earth
have
power.
4
And
it
was
commanded
them
that
they
should
not
hurt
the
grass
of
the
earth,
neither
any
green
thing,
neither
any
tree;
but
only
those
men
which
have
not
the
seal
of
God
in
their
foreheads.
5
And
to
them
it
was
given
that
they
should
not
kill
them,
but
that
they
should
be
tormented
five
months:
and
their
torment
was
as
the
torment
of
a
scorpion,
when
he
striketh
a
man.
6
And
in
those
days
shall
men
seek
death,
and
shall
not
find
it;
and
shall
desire
to
die,
and
death
shall
flee
from
them.
7
And
the
shapes
of
the
locusts
were
like
unto
horses
prepared
unto
battle;
and
on
their
heads
were
as
it
were
crowns
like
gold,
and
their
faces
were
as
the
faces
of
men.
8
And
they
had
hair
as
the
hair
of
women,
and
their
teeth
were
as
the
teeth
of
lions.
9
And
they
had
breastplates,
as
it
were
breastplates
of
iron;
and
the
sound
of
their
wings
was
as
the
sound
of
chariots
of
many
horses
running
to
battle.
10
And
they
had
tails
like
unto
scorpions,
and
there
were
stings
in
their
tails:
and
their
power
was
to
hurt
men
five
months.
11
And
they
had
a
king
over
them,
which
is
the
angel
of
the
bottomless
pit,
whose
name
in
the
Hebrew
tongue
is
Abaddon,
but
in
the
Greek
tongue
hath
his
name
Apollyon.
12
One
woe
is
past;
and,
behold,
there
come
two
woes
more
hereafter.
(KJV)
Rev
12:
16
And
the
earth
helped
the
woman,
and
the
earth
opened
her
mouth,
and
swallowed
up
the
flood
which
the
dragon
cast
out
of
his
mouth.
1
Cor
10:1-13
1
Moreover,
brethren,
I
would
not
that
ye
should
be
ignorant,
how
that
all
our
fathers
were
under
the
cloud,
and
all
passed
through
the
sea;
2
And
were
all
baptized
unto
Moses
in
the
cloud
and
in
the
sea;
3
And
did
all
eat
the
same
spiritual
meat;
4
And
did
all
drink
the
same
spiritual
drink:
for
they
drank
of
that
spiritual
Rock
that
followed
them:
and
that
Rock
was
Christ.
5
But
with
many
of
them
God
was
not
well
pleased:
for
they
were
overthrown
in
the
wilderness.
6
Now
these
things
were
our
examples,
to
the
intent
we
should
not
lust
after
evil
things,
as
they
also
lusted.
7
Neither
be
ye
idolaters,
as
were
some
of
them;
as
it
is
written,
The
people
sat
down
to
eat
and
drink,
and
rose
up
to
play.
8
Neither
let
us
commit
fornication,
as
some
of
them
committed,
and
fell
in
one
day
three
and
twenty
thousand.
9
Neither
let
us
tempt
Christ,
as
some
of
them
also
tempted,
and
were
destroyed
of
serpents.
10
Neither
murmur
ye,
as
some
of
them
also
murmured,
and
were
destroyed
of
the
destroyer.
11
Now
all
these
things
happened
unto
them
for
ensamples:
and
they
are
written
for
our
admonition,
upon
whom
the
ends
of
the
world
are
come.
12
Wherefore
let
him
that
thinketh
he
standeth
take
heed
lest
he
fall.
13
There
hath
no
temptation
taken
you
but
such
as
is
common
to
man:
but
God
is
faithful,
who
will
not
suffer
you
to
be
tempted
above
that
ye
are
able;
but
will
with
the
temptation
also
make
a
way
to
escape,
that
ye
may
be
able
to
bear
it.
(KJV)
The
flood
itself
would
be
upon
all
the
earth,
and
therefore
it's
affects
would
be
common
to
all
men.
In
other
words,
all
in
the
earth
would
be
feeling
the
repercussions
of
this
flood.
The
resulting
condition
of
the
whole
world
would
prevent
this
flood
from
being
directed,
full
force
and
only,
toward
YAHOVAH'S
servants.
17
And
the
dragon
was
wroth
with
the
woman,
and
went
to
make
war
with
the
remnant
of
her
seed,
which
keep
the
commandments
of
God,
and
have
the
testimony
of
Jesus
Christ.
(KJV)
After
all
these
things,
then
shall
Satan
come
as
the
spurious
'Jesus',
and
make
war
directly
with
the
remnant
of
the
Woman's
seed,
who
are
now
in
the
flesh,
who
also
"keep
the
commandments
of
God,
and
have
the
testimony
of
Jesus
Christ.".
Matt
3:
1
In
those
days
came
John
the
Baptist,
preaching
in
the
wilderness
of
Judaea,
2
And
saying,
Repent
ye:
for
the
kingdom
of
heaven
is
at
hand.
3
For
this
is
he
that
was
spoken
of
by
the
prophet
Esaias,
saying,
The
voice
of
one
crying
in
the
wilderness,
Prepare
ye
the
way
of
the
Lord,
make
his
paths
straight.
4
And
the
same
John
had
his
raiment
of
camel's
hair,
and
a
leathern
girdle
about
his
loins;
and
his
meat
was
locusts
and
wild
honey.
Again,
"there
is
no
new
thing
under
the
sun".
Eccl
1:9-10
9
The
thing
that
hath
been,
it
is
that
which
shall
be;
and
that
which
is
done
is
that
which
shall
be
done:
and
there
is
no
new
thing
under
the
sun.
10
Is
there
any
thing
whereof
it
may
be
said,
See,
this
is
new?
it
hath
been
already
of
old
time,
which
was
before
us.
(KJV)
Therefore,
we,
of
this
last
generation,
do
not
have
to
guess
at
that
which
shall
occur,
for
we
have
been
shown
by
ensamples
(examples)
that
which
has
been
and
shall
be
again.
John
was
the
forerunner
announcing
the
coming
of
YAHSHUA
(HIS
ministry
and
HIS
gathering
of
HIS
Government).
Was
his
position/part,
as
this
forerunner,
new?
No,
his
role
can
be
likened
unto
that
of
Elijah's.
Let's
take
a
closer
look
at
these
two.
II
Ki
1:8
8
And
they
answered
him,
He
was
an
hairy
man,
and
girt
with
a
girdle
of
leather
about
his
loins.
And
he
said,
It
is
Elijah
the
Tishbite.
(KJV)
"In

then
the
servant
is

the
sackcloth?
As
long
as
the
servant
is
still
able
to
make
mistakes
as
they
speak
with
their
own
voice,
the
servant
is
still
wearing
the
sackcloth.
Of
these
Two,
there
is
one
whose
ministry
is
likened
unto
John
the
Baptist
and/or
Elijah.
This
one,
of
the
Two
Witnesses,
is
heralding
the
coming
of
YAHSHUA.
He
is
calling,
all
who
will,
to
make
their
paths
straight.
How
does
this
one
do
this?
He
does
this
by
teaching
YAHOVAH'S
Truth;
for
only
the
Truth
from
YAHOVAH
can
set
a
straight
path
for
us.
Yet,
the
choice
to
walk
the
straight
path
is
still
up
to
the
individual.
Is
there
anything
more
that
we
can
glean
from
John
the
Baptist
that
will
help
us
to
discern
YAHOVAH'S
Two
Witnesses
and
the
roles
they
have
in
this
last
generation
of
the
flesh?
This
was
written
of
concerning
John
the
Baptist:
Luke
1:17
17
And
he
shall
go
before
him
in
the
spirit
and
power
of
Elias,
to
turn
the
hearts
of
the
fathers
to
the
children,
and
the
disobedient
to
the
wisdom
of
the
just;
to
make
ready
a
people
prepared
for
the
Lord.
(KJV)
Have
we
one
with
us
today
that
fits
this
bill?
Matt
3:5-12
5
Then
went
out
to
him
Jerusalem,
and
all
Judaea,
and
all
the
region
round
about
Jordan,
Please
note,
John
did
not
go
to
the
people,
but
the
people
were
drawn
to
him.
But,
who
were
these
who
"went
out
to
him"?

before
Messiah
came.
We
must
realize
that
many
of
these
had
read
or
had
been
taught
the
Word.
And,
they
were
beginning
to
see
the
prophesies
come
about
as
they
had
been
written
and
handed
down.
Many
of
these
were
descendants
of
Israel,
and
the
multitude
who
came
out
with
them,
who
had
come
out
of
the
bondage
of
Egypt
which
crossed
over
the
Jordan.
Again,
the
people
came
to
be
baptized.
Each
person,
who
came,
made
a
conscience
choice
to
be
baptized.
"baptized"
907
baptizo
(bap-tid'-zo);
from
a
derivative
of
911;
to
immerse,
submerge;
to
make
overwhelmed
(i.e.
fully
wet);
used
only
(in
the
N.
T.)
of
ceremonial
ablution,
especially
(technically)
of
the
ordinance
of
Christian
baptism:
KJV--
Baptist,
baptize,
wash.
911
bapto
(bap'-to);
a
primary
verb;
to
overwhelm,
i.e.
cover
wholly
with
a
fluid;
in
the
N.
T.
only
in
a
qualified
or
specially,
sense,
i.e.
(literally)
to
moisten
(a
part
of
one's
person),
or
(by
implication)
to
stain
(as
with
dye):
KJV--
dip.
(Strong's)
907
baptizo-
1)
to
dip
repeatedly,
to
immerse,
to
submerge
(used
of
vessels
sunk)
2)
to
cleanse
by
dipping
or
submerging,
to
wash,
to
make
clean
with
water,
to
wash
oneself,
to
bathe
3)
to
overwhelm
Not
to
be
confused
with
0911,
bapto.
The
clearest
example
that
shows
the
meaning
of
baptizo
is
a
text
from
the
Greek
poet
and
physician
Nicander,
who
lived
about
200
B.
C.
It
is
a
recipe
for
making
pickles
and
is
helpful
because
it
uses
both
words.
Nicander
says
that
in
order
to
make
a
pickle,
the
vegetable
should
first
be
`dipped'
(bapto)
into
boiling
water
and
then
`baptized'
(baptizo)
in
the
vinegar
solution.
Both
verbs
concern
the
immersing
of
vegetables
in
a
solution.
But
the
first
is
temporary.
The
second,
the
act
of
baptizing
the
vegetable,
produces
a
permanent
change.
When
used
in
the
New
Testament,
this
word
more
often
refers
to
our
union
and
identification
with
Christ
than
to
our
water
baptism.
For
example,
Mark
16:16.
`He
that
believes
and
is
baptized
shall
be
saved'.
Christ
is
saying
that
mere
intellectual
assent
is
not
enough.
There
must
be
a
union
with
him,
a
real
change,
like
the
vegetable
to
the
pickle!
--Bible
Study
Magazine,
James
Montgomery
Boice
(May,
1989).

bapto-
1)
to

(Thayer's)
Did
John
attempt
to
coerce
the
people
to
be
baptized?
He
only
taught
the
people
the
Truth.
Did
he
stop
to
take
up
a
collection?
No,
the
baptisms
and
teachings
were
not
a
sideshow
that
needed
to
be
paid
for.
He
encouraged
the
people
to
"Prepare
ye
the
way
of
the
Lord,
make
his
paths
straight."
Isa
40:1-31

taught
him
in
the
path
of
judgment,

taught
him
knowledge,

shewed
to

the

Behold,

17
All

That

To

Lift

Why

thou,
O

and

O
Israel,
My

28
Hast

hast

that
the
everlasting
God,
the

the
Creator

fainteth
not,
neither

there

29
He

and
to
them
that

30
Even
the

But
when

many
of

and

"Pharisees"
5330
Pharisaios
(far-is-ah'-yos);
of
Hebrew
origin
[compare
6567];
a
separatist,
i.e.
exclusively
religious;
a
Pharisean,
i.e.
Jewish
sectary:
KJV--
Pharisee.
5330
Pharisaios-
A
sect
that
seems
to
have
started
after
the
Jewish
exile.
In
addition
to
all
Old
Testament
books
the
Pharisees
recognized
in
oral
tradition
a
standard
of
belief
and
life.
They
sought
for
distinction
and
praise
by
outward
observance
of
external
rites
and
by
outward
forms
of
piety,
and
such
as
ceremonial
washings,
fastings,
prayers,
and
alms
giving;
and,
comparatively
negligent
of
genuine
piety,
they
prided
themselves
on
their
fancied
good
works.
They
held
strenuously
to
a
belief
in
the
existence
of
good
and
evil
angels,
and
to
the
expectation
of
a
Messiah.
And
they
cherished
the
hope
that
the
dead,
after
a
preliminary
experience
either
of
reward
or
of
penalty
in
Hades,
would
be
recalled
to
life
by
him,
and
be
requited
each
according
to
his
individual
deeds.
In
opposition
to
the
usurped
dominion
of
the
Herods
and
the
rule
of
the
Romans,
they
stoutly
upheld
the
theocracy
and
their
country's
cause,
and
possessed
great
influence
with
the
common
people.
According
to
Josephus
they
numbered
more
than
6,000.
They
were
bitter
enemies
of
Jesus
and
his
cause,
and
were
in
turn
severely
rebuked
by
him
for
their
avarice,
ambition,
hollow
reliance
on
outward
works,
and
affection
of
piety
in
order
to
gain
popularity.
"Sadducees"
4523
Saddoukaios
(sad-doo-kah'-yos);
probably
from
4524;
a
Sadducaean
(i.e.
Tsadokian),
or
follower
of
a
certain
heretical
Israelite:
KJV--
Sadducee.
4524
Sadok
(sad-oke');
of
Hebrew
origin
[6659];
Sadoc
(i.e.
Tsadok),
an
Israelite:
KJV--
Sadoc.
4523
Saddoukaios-
Sadducees
=
"the
righteous";
a
religious
party
at
the
time
of
Christ
among
the
Jews,
who
denied
that
the
oral
law
was
a
revelation
of
God
to
the
Israelites,
and
who
deemed
the
written
law
alone
to
be
obligatory
on
the
nation,
as
the
divine
authority.
They
denied
the
following
doctrines:
a)
resurrection
of
the
body
b)
immortality
of
the
soul
c)
existence
of
spirits
and
angels
d)
divine
predestination,
affirmed
free
will
Do
we
still
have
"Pharisees"
and
"Sadducees"
among
us?
Absolutely,
yet
they
are
now
called
by
their
'acceptable'
denominational
names.
Let's
look
a
bit
closer
at
these
two
groups.
In
the
definition
of
the
"Pharisees",
the
Strong's
suggests
comparing
the
Hebrew
word
#6567.
6567
(KJV)
Lev
24:12
12
And
they
put
him
in
ward,
that
the
mind
of
the
LORD
might
be
shewed
them.
(KJV)
Num
15:34
34
And
they
put
him
in
ward,
because
it
was
not
declared
what
should
be
done
to
him.
(KJV)
Neh
8:8
8
So
they
read
in
the
book
in
the
law
of
God
distinctly,
and
gave
the
sense,
and
caused
them
to
understand
the
reading.
(KJV)
Prov
23:32
32
At
the
last
it
biteth
like
a
serpent,
and
stingeth
like
an
adder.
(KJV)
Ezek
34:12
12
As
a
shepherd
seeketh
out
his
flock
in
the
day
that
he
is
among
his
sheep
that
are
scattered;
so
will
I
seek
out
my
sheep,
and
will
deliver
them
out
of
all
places
where
they
have
been
scattered
in
the
cloudy
and
dark
day.
Note
in
Ezekiel
34:12,
only
the
"scattered"
in
the
phrase
"his
sheep
that
are
scattered"
is
this
Hebrew
word
#6567.
The
whole
phrase
"they
have
been
scattered"
is
one
word
in
the
Hebrew
;
it
is
the
Hebrew
word
#6327,
which
is
a
different
definition.
The
Hebrew
word
#6567
has
been
translated
into
the
English
as
"might
be
shewed",
"it
was
declared",
"declared",
"distinctly",
"stingeth",
and
"scattered".
6567
parash
(paw-rash');
a
primitive
root;
to
separate,
literally
(to
disperse)
or
figuratively
(to
specify);
also
(by
implication)
to
wound:
KJV--
scatter,
declare,
distinctly,
shew,
sting.
6567
parash-
1)
to
make
distinct,
to
declare,
to
distinguish,
to
separate
a)
(Qal)
to
declare,
to
clarify
b)
(Pual)
to
be
distinctly
declared
2)
(Hiphil)
to
pierce,
to
sting
3)
(Niphal)
to
scatter
In
the
definition
of
the
"Sadducees",
from
the
prime
root
#4524,
the
Strong's
suggests
comparing
the
Hebrew
word
#6659.
6659
Tsadowq
(tsaw-doke');
from
6663;
just;
Tsadok,
the

(tsaw-dak');
a
primitive
root;
to

forensic
sense):
KJV--

just
(-ice,
-ify,
-ifyself),
(be

to)
righteous
(-ness).

Through
this
we
can
see
that
the
"Sadducees"
were
those
who
had
originally
come
out
of
the
priesthood,
Zadok,
but
had
gone
astray.
Was
this
due
to
the
Kenites
mixing
into
the
priesthood?
Or,
were
they
Kenites
first,
who
mixed
themselves
into
the
priesthood?
The
Pharisees
were
a
prideful
group.
Their
behavior
was
as
though
they
thought
themselves
to
be
superior
and
special.
The
pompous
manner
and
dress
of
these
prideful
'religious'
men
was
a
way
that
these
used
to
make
themselves
popular
with
the
people
and
the
government.
But,
they
denied
YAHSHUA,
JESUS
CHRIST,
and
were
in
fact,
bitter
adversaries
of
HIM
and
HIS
teachings.
Could
there
be
men
today
in
the
pulpits
who
are
actually
working
against
YAHSHUA...against
YAHOVAH'S
SAVIOR?
Have
you
seen
the
so-called
religious
men,
who
wear
elaborate
costumes
to
show
themselves
as
being
something
special?
Have
heard
what
these
men
teach?
Do
they
teach
YAHOVAH'S
Truth,
or
they
just
"putting
on
the
dog"
in
order
to
fill
their
houses
and
"hornswaggle"
the
flocks
for
the
tithes
they
can
collect.
Yes,
these
speak
of
a
Messiah,
but
yet
their
actions
and
teachings
are
contrary
to
that
which
YAHSHUA
taught
and
did.
Think
not
that
these
Pharisees
have
remained
within
Judah
only
(claiming
to
be
Jews),
for
they
have
spread
like
a
plague
into
the
seminaries
and
into
the
pulpits
of
many
denominations
and
religions.
Many
now
call
themselves
"gentiles"
or
"descendants
of
Israel".
Now,
the
traditions
of
the
Sadducees
can
be
easily
seen
in
many
so-called
'Christian
churches'
today.
As
these
Sadducees
of
old,
we
can
easily
see
that
many
of
the
churches
today
deny
the
resurrection
of
the
body.
These
teach
"soul
sleep".
They
teach
that
at
the
death
of
the
flesh
body,
that
the
flesh
body
must
be
buried
(entombed).
Their
doctrinal
teaching
is
that
all
who
die
in
the
flesh,
remain
in
the
grave
until
Jesus
returns.
This
misinterpretation
of
the
scriptures
was
brought
about
because
these
teach
that
the
soul/spirit
does
not
exist
until
it
was
created
in
the
flesh.
These
have
no
understanding
of
the
immortality
of
the
soul
because
they
deny
or
have
no
understanding
of
the
first
Heaven
age,
and
the
2nd
Heaven
age.
Now,
are
there
Pharisees
and
Sadducees
in
the
pulpits
of
the
world
today?
Yes,
there
are
some,
but
many
have
simply
taken
on
the
ways
and
traditional
teachings
of
these
Pharisees
and
Sadducees.
Many
are
Christians
who
have
gone
astray
from
the
path.
"But
when
he
saw
many
of
the
Pharisees
and
Sadducees
come
to
his
baptism,
he
said
unto
them,
O
generation
of
vipers,
who
hath
warned
you
to
flee
from
the
wrath
to
come?"
"But
when
he
saw
many
of
the
Pharisees
and
Sadducees
come
to
his
baptism"
John
was
able
to
recognize
these
"Pharisees
and
Sadducees".
Can
you
discern
these?
Our
type
of
"John
the
Baptist",
we
have
with
us
today,
recognizes
them,
and
he
'blasts'
them
openly
and
often,
just
as
did
John.
"O
generation
of
vipers,
who
hath
warned
you
to
flee
from
the
wrath
to
come?"
What
did
he
call
them
(and
rightfully
so)?

Now
the
serpent
was
more
subtil
than
any
beast
of
the
field
which
the
LORD
God
had
made.
And
he
said
unto
the
woman,
Yea,
hath
God
said,
Ye
shall
not
eat
of
every
tree
of
the
garden?

And
the
woman
said
unto
the
serpent,
We
may
eat
of
the
fruit
of
the
trees
of
the
garden:
3
But
of
the
fruit
of
the
tree
which
is
in

garden,
God
hath
said,
Ye
shall
not
eat
of
it,
neither
shall
ye
touch
it,
lest
ye
die.
4
And
the
serpent
said
unto
the
woman,
Ye
shall
not
surely
die:
5
For
God
doth
know
that
in
the
day
ye
eat
thereof,
then
your
eyes
shall
be
opened,
and
ye
shall
be
as
gods,
knowing
good
and
evil.
(KJV)
John
8:44
44
Ye
are
of
your
father
the
devil,
and
the
lusts
of
your
father
ye
will
do.
He
was
a
murderer
from
the
beginning,
and
abode
not
in
the
truth,
because
there
is
no
truth
in
him.
When
he
speaketh
a
lie,
he
speaketh
of
his
own:
for
he
is
a
liar,
and
the
father
of
it.
(KJV)
"O
generation
of
vipers,
who
hath
warned
you
to
flee
from
the
wrath
to
come?"
The
prophets
did.
Who
has
warned
them?
Have
you?
Our
type
of
"John
the
Baptist",
we
have
with
us
today,
has
warned
them
again
and
again.
Have
we
been
told
to
warn
them?
Ezek
3:17-21
17
Son
of
man,
I
have
made
thee
a
watchman
unto
the
house
of
Israel:
therefore
hear
the
word
at
my
mouth,
and
give
them
warning
from
me.
18
When
I
say
unto
the
wicked,
Thou
shalt
surely
die;
and
thou
givest
him
not
warning,
nor
speakest
to
warn
the
wicked
from
his
wicked
way,
to
save
his
life;
the
same
wicked
man
shall
die
in
his
iniquity;
but
his
blood
will
I
require
at
thine
hand.
19
Yet
if
thou
warn
the
wicked,
and
he
turn
not
from
his
wickedness,
nor
from
his
wicked
way,
he
shall
die
in
his
iniquity;
but
thou
hast
delivered
thy
soul.
20
Again,
When
a
righteous
man
doth
turn
from
his
righteousness,
and
commit
iniquity,
and
I
lay
a
stumblingblock
before
him,
he
shall
die:
because
thou
hast
not
given
him
warning,
he
shall
die
in
his
sin,
and
his
righteousness
which
he
hath
done
shall
not
be
remembered;
but
his
blood
will
I
require
at
thine
hand.
21
Nevertheless
if
thou
warn
the
righteous
man,
that
the
righteous
sin
not,
and
he
doth
not
sin,
he
shall
surely
live,
because
he
is
warned;
also
thou
hast
delivered
thy
soul.
(KJV)
Matt
3:
8
Bring
forth
therefore
fruits
meet
for
repentance:
9
And
think
not
to
say
within
yourselves,
We
have
Abraham
to
our
father:
for
I
say
unto
you,
that
God
is
able
of
these
stones
to
raise
up
children
unto
Abraham.
Now,
John
is
still
addressing
the
Pharisees
and
the
Sadducees.
John,
is
chastising
them,
and
at
the
same
time,
instructing
them.
"Bring
forth
therefore
fruits
meet
for
repentance:
And
think
not
to
say
within
yourselves,
We
have
Abraham
to
our
father:
for
I
say
unto
you,
that
God
is
able
of
these
stones
to
raise
up
children
unto
Abraham."
John
is
telling
them
to
prove
themselves
worthy
or
fit
to
be
forgiven
of
their
sins
by
doing
goodly
acts.
And,
he
continues
to
chastise
and
instruct
them
by
demanding
that
they
use
not
Abraham's
name
as
their
credentials.
Each
individual
is
responsible
for
their
own
actions.
And,
just
because
one
is
a
descendant
of
a
good
man,
does
not
mean
that
the
individual
is
also
good.
How
many
today
claim
that
they
are
goodly
servants
unto
our
FATHER,
just
because
they
were
born
a
"Christian"?
Just
because
one
may
be
a
descendant,
of
let's
say,
Albert
Einstein,
doesn't
necessarily
mean
the
descendant
is
also
a
genius.
FATHER
can
give
gifts
(talents)
to
whomever
HE
chooses.
HE
blesses
those
who
deserve
to
be
blessed,
and
according
to
HIS
Will
and
Divine
Purpose.
"for
I
say
unto
you,
that
God
is
able
of
these
stones
to
raise
up
children
unto
Abraham."

11
Abraam
(ab-rah-am');
of
Hebrew
origin
[85];
Abraham,
the
Hebrew
patriarch:
KJV--
Abraham.
[In
Acts
7:16
the
text
should
probably
read
Jacob.]
85
ademoneo
(ad-ay-mon-eh'-o);
from
a
derivative
of
adeo
(to
be
sated
to
loathing);
to
be
in
distress
(of
mind):
KJV--
be

of
heaviness,

11
Abraam-
Abraham
=
"father
of
a
multitude"
the
son
of
Terah
and
the
founder
of
the
Jewish
nation
85
ademoneo-
to
be
troubled,
great
distress
or
anguish,
depressed.
This
is
the
strongest
of
the
three
Greek
words
(See
0085,
0916,
3076)
in
the
New
Testament
for
depression.
There
are
two
who
can
be
called
"father
of
a
multitude".
There
is
the
True
Rock
(foundation
cornerstone),
and
there
is
the
false
or
spurious
rock.
"And
think
not
to
say
within
yourselves,
We
have
Abraham
to
our
father:
for
I
say
unto
you,
that
God
is
able
of
these
stones
to
raise
up
children
unto
Abraham."
"And
think
not"
This
is
an
idiom,
which
means:
'Don't
even
think
for
a
moment
that...'
or
'Don't
be
of
the
opinion...'
So,
let's
read
this
again.
'Don't
even
think
for
a
moment,
that
just
because
you
are
flesh
descendants
of
Abraham,
that
this
makes
you
a
good
servant
unto
YAHOVAH.
I
maintain
and
affirm
that
YAHOVAH
has
the
power
and
ability
to
have
each
come
through
in
the
flesh
according
to
that
which
each
has
earned,
and
according
to
which
'father'
you
have
followed
after.'
Matt
3:
10
And
now
also
the
axe
is
laid
unto
the
root
of
the
trees:
therefore
every
tree
which
bringeth
not
forth
good
fruit
is
hewn
down,
and
cast
into
the
fire.
What
is
the
"axe"
or
instrument
which
YAHOVAH
sent
into
the
earth
in
the
flesh?
HE
sent
that
part
of
HIMSELF,
YAHSHUA,
JESUS
CHRIST.
YAHSHUA
was
already
in
the
world
in
the
flesh,
although
HIS
3
1/2
year
ministry
and
calling
forth
of
HIS
government
had
not
yet
commenced...but
it
was
about
to
begin.
The
"axe"
is
already
laying
ready
(at
that
moment)
at
the
root
of
all
the
'family
trees',
at
the
roots
of
each
lineage,
at
the
patriarchal
beginnings
of
each
seedline
in
the
flesh.
And,
each
of
these,
who
bring
forth
evil
offspring
and
bad
acts,
shall
be
hewn
down.
Isa
10:33-34
33
Behold,
the
Lord,
the
LORD
of
hosts,
shall
lop
the
bough
with
terror:
and
the
high
ones
of
stature
shall
be
hewn
down,
and
the
haughty
shall
be
humbled.
34
And
he
shall
cut
down
the
thickets
of
the
forest
with
iron,
and
Lebanon
shall
fall
by
a
mighty
one.
(KJV)
YAHSHUA
is
still
the
"axe",
which
when
HE
returns,
shall
cleave
and
separate
those
who
have
overcome
from
those
who
have
not.
And,
this
shall
be
according
to
each
individual's
fruits
(acts)
that
they
have
brought
forth.
