Greek Translation: “Because thou has kept the spoken word of my cheerful endurance, I will also keep thee from the hour, time and season of one’s virtues which shall come to pass upon all the world specifically the Roman Empire, to try them that dwell on the whole earth.” Comment: The Greek word for our English word “world”, used here refers to the Roman Empire. From the Roman Empire the temptation is spread into the whole earth. So what temptation is Jesus keeping you from that is spread to the whole earth from the Roman Empire? The temptation to deny Christ! The world at this time in history was the Roman Empire! They had conquered most of the known world! Jesus and all the disciples except John and many of the early church Father’s were martyred by the Roman Empire! The Apostle John at the time of the writing of this Book of Revelation was exiled on the Isle of Patmos working as a slave in a stone quarry because of Caesar’s sentencing of John! Christian persecution of the Church began in 64 A.D. with Nero and the great fire of Rome. The persecution of the Church ceased in 313 A.D. with the Edict of Milan with Emperor Constatine. It has been estimated that there were at least 100 thousand martyrs during this period. Remember in previous postings we talked about the unpardonable sin? What was blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Remember to mock one part of the Trinity is to mock all. The unpardonable sin was to deny Jesus! God can forgive every sin except denying Jesus because He is the only one who can forgive sin! Remember the 21 Coptic Christians who were beheaded by ISIS last year? In their hour of temptation they did not deny Jesus! Rome became Christian under Emperor Constatine and became the Holy Roman Empire! Jesus knew what the believers were going to face under Roman Rule for 200 years! He was preparing them for the hour of temptation! So how did the preparation come about for the hour of temptation for the whole earth? When Roman Empire became Christian all the roads they had built throughout their entire Empire were used to take the Gospel to all the known world! I will give you a historical quote on the Roman Empire from Wikipedia: “By means of European Colonialism following the Renaissance, and the descendant states, Greco-Roman and Judaeo-Christian culture was exported on a world wide scale, playing a crucial role in the development of the modern world.” Now where are we at 21 Centuries later today? The pressure upon Christian culture today is to deny Christ! The popular culture, Hollywood, liberal media, atheistic teachings such as evolution, abortion promoters, white supremacy haters, anti-colonialism, gays, lesbian, and transgender promoters all apply pressure against us to deny Christ! Even in the church the denial of Christ exists! Many believers do not tithe their income! Many make a 7 day work week and skip Sunday services! Worship of money over God! The list goes on but we can either deny Christ one small step at a time but when push comes to shove and you have to make a choice between your life or Christ God’s grace will not be their to confess His name!

Hitler Admirer!
“Hitler is one of the greatest men, the old trust him, the young idolize him. It is the worship of a National hero who has served his country….Within a few years, Adolf Hitler will emerge from the hatred which surrounds him and will be one of the most significant figures that ever lived!” John F. Kennedy, Prelude to Leadership, The European Diary of John F. Kennedy, 1937-1945, Regnery Publishing Company Inc., Washington D.C., Page 74.
Napoleon’s Law and the Jews!
The French Revolution abolished the different treatment of people according to religion or origin under the Monarchy! The 1789 Declaration of Rights of man and the citizens guaranteed freedom of religion and free exercise of worship provided it did not contradict public order. At that time most other European countries implemented measures restricting the rights of people from minority religions. Example was all Jews could only live in ghettos! Napoleon Bonaparte spread the modernist ideas of Revolutionary France: equality of citizens and the rule of law. The net effect of his policies, significantly changed the position of the Jews in Europe and he was widely admired by the Jews! He made Judaism along with Catholics and Protestants the official Religion of France. This all happened between the American Revolution of 1776 and the War of 1812. Sadly later Europe returned to the oppression of the Jews. Today Jewish oppression is growing across Europe and even the United States with the growth of Islam! Islam also oppresses Christians and anyone who resists Islam! Today Israel has a homeland and Jews are fleeing there! With the help of President Obama Islam has grown in power! He has given Iran billions in funds to finance terror and given them a path to nuclear weapons! Russia is supplying the missiles to Iran to launch these weapons! However they will fail. Israel has about 80 nuclear tipped missiles pointed at their enemies! More important God is their defender! Salvation to man has come through the Jews! Every generation that has lived has to decide to support or attack the Jews! History is on their side! God Blesses those who Bless the Jews! Make a decision about the Jews and do not default to Hell. Read your Bible and believe it for your eternity with God depends upon it! When you leave this earth the next time you hear the Bible read before you is at the Judgment Seat of Christ! It could then be too late! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Islam Joins Nazi Germany 1941
Arab Muslim leader Grand Mufti Amin al-Husseini meets Adolf Hitler on November 21, 1941. The chief Muslim, Islamic legal religious authority and Muslim Leader from Palestine meets the Nazi Fuhrer. Prior to this meeting, in June 1940 he offered his services to the Nazi Reich government. In 1941 he went to Berlin through Tehran, where he explained to the German ambassador, Erwin Ettel, his plan to bring all Arabs under the banner of Pan-Arab over to the side of the Axis (2 Jun 1942). Here he came out unconditionally for the “final solution” of the Jewish question, calling for Germans to wipe out all Jews, “not even sparing the children.” He intervened with Nazi’s to prevent the escape to Palestine thousands of European Jews, who were instead sent to death camps. He also conspired with the Nazi’s to bring the Holocaust to Palestine. He also ran the Nazi’s Arab-language propaganda radio broadcast out of Berlin which incited Muslim’s to kill Jews wherever you can find them! Among the listeners of this daily broadcast was a young man named Ayatoliah Khomeini! All this occurred before Israel was ever a state! Source; Islam and War-Wikipedia
Hindu Temple
The year was 1987. We were nearing the completion of our 3 year commission to India by the Korean Church. We needed to sell our vehicle in preparation for returning to the United States. The way you sell things in India is just put the word out amoung the local villagers! News travels fast in these remote areas. A young man named Benny told me this Hindu Priest was wanting to purchase my vehicle and if I would come up to the Temple he would pay me. Local Pastor’s in India warned me never to accept invitations to Hindu Temples! So I refused many invites by these Hindu Priests. So I told Benny no! Benny told me this is different. He only wants to buy your vehicle. It is simply buisness. So I decided to go. So Benny got in my vehicle with me and we made the steep pull up the mountain into the remote tribal area. As we approached the front entrance of this big Hindu Temple I could smell the sweet fragrance of incense sticks burning in the Temple. We were greeted at the front entrance by two beautiful young girls! They could have even been teen agers. One girl went to my left side and the other to my right side. They put one hand into my hand and the other on my forearm and escorted me into the Temple. I felt like the chosen King on prom night back in high school! With their collective beauty,perfumes and incense burning in the Temple I began to feel sedated! I began to feel sorry for the folks back home in America! Then the thought hit me. Where is Benny? As I was escoted deeper into this Temple some things began to trouble me? The doors into the rooms and halls had iron gates on them much like a jail cell? There seemed to be alot of girls in this Temple? Some not modestly dressed? Then I walked by this European looking guy sitting on the floor with his head shaved! This young man was like staring into space. His eyes were glassy and his soul looked empty? I glanced into one room as I walked by and there were these 3 iron stakes anchored into the cement with leather straps tied on them? I asked one of my escorts where we were going? I cannot completely descibe the foreboding feelings I had at this time? The girls told me they were taking me to the guest room where the Hindu Priest will give me the money for the vehicle. Even though I wanted to pull away and get out of there I was like mesmerized by the spiritual atmosphere there! It was like something was taking control of me? Much like the cobra spitting his venom into the air in a room to disable his victims! The girls finally took me into this room and asked me to sit down in the chair. The girls pulled the curtain over the door and left the room. This room only had one chair in the middle of the room and I was sitting on it? No pictures on the walls and only one door to exit the room. No windows either? I began to have more concerns! I got up out of my chair moved the curtain back but the iron gate was locked behind the curtain! No time to panic but I did begin to sweat! I went back to my chair. Where was Benny? Suddenly two different girls came from behind the curtain! They were as pretty and young as the first two but were not modestly dressed? They wore short grass skirts with their tops adequately displayed chanting and dancing around me in my chair? They had ankle chains on their legs with bells attached so when they danced the bells would jingle! They had tambourines they were beating. My natural defences began to further abate. My thoughts were now who cares where Benny is! As the girls would dance, chant and sway their bodies around me with the beat to the music they began to make eye contact with me. They would fix their eyes on my eyes and then shift their eyes rapidly left to right and then right to left. I began to feel dizzy! This went on for about 10 or 15 minutes. I really lost track of time? I was now moving into a deeper hypnotic state! Then the girls abruptly left the room! I wanted to get out but now unable to even get out of my chair? I was like unable to respond to my natural senses? I would later learn the European looking guy was made a eunuch in the Temple along with some other fellows there. Now there was an ominous quiet period while I was waiting for the next act! Suddenly these huge drums began to beat? Then I began to hear this male voice chanting in the distance. This voice began to get louder as this man got closer to me! I could also hear a tambourine beating. Suddenly this huge man broke through the door curtain! He must have weighed 300 pounds and looked like a sumo wrestler! He was bare chested with bright colors were painted all over him! He like the girls were dancing,chanting, banging his tambourine and trying to focus his eyes on mine. He had a full beard and long hair. He looked like a bat out of hell! The girls softened me up and this guy was going to take me down! Then about a dozen girls entered the room and joined the high priest in their chants and dances! Yes the choir was now in place! His cheer leaders! Then behind the girls stood Benny! Betrayal at its best! I cried out to Jesus and called on His Blood to break this demonic spell! Suddenly this spirit of control over me was broken! Yes in the twinkling of an eye satan’s spell over me was broken! The priest with his harem stopped and left the room! I got up out of my chair left the room and temple and drove my vehicle back to Yercaud. I sold my vehicle in Madras and we left India for the United States! These Hindu Priests make prostitutes out of the women and eunuches out of the men! Stay out of the Hindu Temples! James Sasse. GodWgoisGod.com
