It says in verse 23 that by her sorceries were the nations of the earth deceived! Sorceries is the Greek word for drugs! We get are English word pharmacy from this Greek word! It is also called by definition medication or a poisoner! Babylon is a literal place but it is also a world system led by the Anti-Christ! Notice according to verse 24 what violence was found in her! The blood of the prophets and the Saints! Do you remember the Tower of Babel? The word means confusion! Babylon is a economic, political and religious system that opposes Christ! The fall of Babylon is future yet to come! During the 7 year tribulation period! About 70 thousand young Americans died from drug overdose last year! More people lost in one year than we lost in the Vietnam War over a ten year period! Because of abortion and drugs America has a negative population growth today! Drugs poor in across our southern border everyday! Yet the Democrats do not seem to care? Illegal drugs are now legalized in some States with devastating consequences! Needles and syringes litter our inner city streets! Needles are supplied to them by our government! Disfunctional young people go on public support to buy more drugs! Babylon is alive today but not well! The religious system of Babylon is Islam! We only have two of them in the House of Representatives and they are raising Hell! If they were in the majority we would have Afghanistan, Syria, Iran or Iraq! The political system of Babylon are the followers of Charles Darwin! Did you know the leaders of the Axis powers of WWII, Germany, Italy and Japan were all followers of Charles Darwin! The divide today politically here in America is between Creation and Evolution! We need the mind of Christ! A path to righteousness and eternal life! Without Christ you are a mindless wanderer in the wilderness being deceived by the lies and deceptions of Satan! God sent his only Son Jesus Christ into the world to deliver us from evil and the deceptions of the present world system! Jesus said we are to go out into all the world and preach the Gospel! Bring good news to a fallen world! Being a slave to sin is death but a slave to Christ is life! Everyone will be someone’s slave! God wants to save you and Satan wants to destroy you! Satan uses sin as his weapon! God uses the sacrificial blood of his Son to deliver you from sin! This is why Satan is blood thirsty for the Saints! Who and what you are a slave to depends on who you chose to rule over you! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

I Am That I Am! Exodus 3:14
The Hebrew word for this English phrase is “Hayah”. Strongs # 1961. This Hebrew word is also related to another Hebrew word “Havah”. Strongs #1933. What is interesting is that these words are not nouns but verbs! So they represent an action or initiation of something! The first word describes God as “to exist.” He always was and always will be! He does not fade off into history like men! The second Hebrew word used means to “breathe.” Do not confuse this word with the two Hebrew words used in Genesis 2:7 and Genesis 6:17. In Genesis 2:7, Strongs #5387, the word breath means a Divine inspiration with intellect. The word breath used in Genesis 6:17, Strongs 7307, means a violent exhaustion of air and spirit. Like giving up the ghost! At Creation God the I Am That I Am, initiated his breath into man with Divine inspiration and intellect! At Noah’s flood in Genesis 2:7, the word breath means a violent exhaustion of air and spirit by death! At birth we receive God’s breath! At death we exhaust God’s breath! At Creation our life is established by his breath! We are established with his breath! We did not evolve! So our breath is not our own! So you have to be careful what you say! Some people have bad breath! Do we praise God or curse him with bad breath? Do we exalt God or ourselves? Every good or evil action is initiated with the breath of our words! Again our breath is not our own! Who is the owner of your breath? When Jesus raises us from the dead again one day we will have breath again! Both believers and unbelievers! Remember the story Jesus told of Lazarus and the rich man? It is found in Luke 16:19-31. Lazarus the beggar was taken to Heaven and the rich man to Hell. There was a great gulf between the two abodes! The rich man begged Abraham to warn his brothers still on earth to the Hell that awaits them unless they repent! Abraham told the rich man in Hell that his brothers had Moses and the Prophets! Abraham told the rich man that if they will not believe them then they will not believe one though raised from the dead! So God was really telling Moses to tell Pharaoh that I am the breath that all men have! I am the God that breathes breath into men! I am the Creator of all living things! Pharaoh you have not evolved by your own works! Pharaoh since you are using my breath that I gave you do not abuse me in unbelief towards me! Jesus said we must be born again! I second breath or wind! Before being born again I cursed God with my breath! No I praise him with the same breath! Pharaoh rejected the God that gave him breath and he and his army was drowned in the Red Sea! In the time of Noah the world except for 8 souls were drowned in the flood! Remember Lucifer who became Satan the Praise Leader of Heaven? Remember the fallen Angel? He used the breath of God to Glorify God then he used the same breath to oppose God! He rebelled against God in Heaven and was cast down to earth with 1/3 of the angels! Now they use the breath of God to oppose his Kingdom here on earth! Satan has many followers over the generations that have lived since the Garden of Eden! Is your breath used to raise doubts about God or affirm him? After the resurrection of the dead we will have breath again! Some to everlasting life and some to judgment! The Praise of the Saints will be beautiful but the screams of Hell deafening! Remember this! What you did with God’s breath while here on earth will determine your outcome in eternity! You are not your own you have been bought with a price!If I were God I would be reluctant to give mortal men my breath! Very risky! Will they praise me or curse me? With the breath of God Jesus said on the Cross,” Father forgive them for they know not what they do”! Crucify Him! One day every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord! Why not start now while you have breath! Worship the I Am That I Am! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Are You Acceptable? Isaiah 61:2
Hebrew Translation: “To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. The year of delight, favor, love, grace, kindness, as the pleasure of a King blessing his subjects! The year the High Priest’s sacrifices were accepted with the blood sacrifices and death accepted for our sin. The debt is now paid and the petitions or prayer requests are now heard and acted upon. And the day of vengeance when the High Priest entered the Holy of Holies and God’s rage, revenge and jealousy was poured out upon the sacrificial offering and accepted. Now after this the people can be comforted with compassion as the sacrifice for their sin has been accepted and they can take a deep breath and sigh of relief for their trespasses have been atoned for.” Comment: Today when we accept the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross for our sin this offering of God for God on behalf of God is presented before the Father and our sin is forgiven. But what of the fate of those who reject the sacrifice of God’s only Son Jesus Christ for their sin? I would rather be a fallen angel in Hell than an unbeliever in the earth! Why? Because then they themselves become the sacrifice in judgment condemned to an eternity with their leader Satan! The one and only unpardonable sin is the rejection of Jesus Christ as their Savior! While you still have breath you can still chose Jesus Christ! But one day the opportunity in the chapter of your life will end! You are only acceptable to God through the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross for your sin! Nothing else qualifies you for Heaven! No works or no efforts of your past, present or future will suffice! The Apostle Paul with all his great scholarly abilities said I only know Christ and Him crucified and nothing else!

John 3:16 Word Study “Perish”
Perish (Apollumi), Strongs #622. This word means to kill, destroy whether temporarily or eternally! To be a victim of the destroyer (Satan). Destroyed by Lucifer the fallen angel (Appolluon). This word denotes separation, departure, reversal and cessation from God by the rejection of his Son Jesus Christ. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Does Satan Work for God? Isaiah 54:16
“Behold I have created the smith that bloweth the coals on the fire, that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.” Comment: Certainly Satan opposes God but by his rebellion against God does he end up working for God? We know Satan runs his own prison! No tax money needed to support! Satan knows who the sinners are! Everyone! He knows his own! He is called the accuser of the brethren! Satan wants you to live in his image! In the image of doubt, fear and death! God asked Satan have you seen my servant Job? Both God and Satan know which camp you are in! What about those that switch sides? Some Democrats become Republicans! Some Republicans become Democrats! Satan would have everyone in Hell except for one problem! It is called the Blood of the Lamb! When your sin has been forgiven the guilt, fear and condemnation is gone and you are then free to serve God and His Christ! The disciples betrayed Jesus at the Cross just like you and I would have done but Jesus forgave them and they became the foundational leaders of the Church! Without God no Heaven! Without Satan no Hell! This is the problem with atheism! Deny God and deny Hell? Come up with a religion or ideology that supports their belief there is no God! Like Marxism and Darwinism! Both were Jews and atheists! To deny their existence does not make them non-existent! If you deny God you support Satan for you deny the Atonement! If you deny Satan you deny God for God created Lucifer the fallen angel! We will cover verse 17 in our next blog posting which is a very encouraging verse for us from God! James and Hamsa Sasse.

What did Bethlehem do for you? Isaiah 25:7-9
Verse 7. And I will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people and the vail that is spread over the nations. Verse 8. He will swallow up death in victory and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces, and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth for the Lord hath spoken. Verse 9. And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us; this is the Lord, we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation. Comment: The Hebrew word used here in verse 9 for salvation means a deliverance from outside of yourself! It comes from outside of your circumstances! It has nothing to do with your efforts! Jehovah the God of our Salvation! Salvation is associated with the forgiveness of sin! A deliverance from Satan (fallen angel), and his power! Merry Christmas! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Babylon is Fallen! Isaiah 21:9
Isaiah wrote this prophecy between 701-681 B.C. Babylon fell is 539 B.C. The Persian King Cyrus conquered Babylon allowing the Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple. Isaiah also wrote many Messianic prophecies about Jesus birth that came to pass hundreds of years later! Babylon was never rebuilt again even though many tried! The accuracy of the Bible is as accurate as the science God created! You can trust gravity and your Bible! There are many more prophecies in your Bible that have not come to pass yet but will such as Jesus second coming to earth! Your Bible is history waiting to happen! Whether you believe the Bible or not it still will come to pass! Don’t be on the wrong side of history with the unbelievers who will be proven wrong! Do not gamble your eternity! Let us not forget that the truth came to us at a great cost including God’s own blood! Isaiah was sawed in half by a timber saw by King Manasseh! As we celebrate Christmas soon remember the price He paid to leave Heaven and come to earth for you! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
The Devil Made Me Do It!
It is so stupid of modern civilization to have given up believing in the devil when he is the only explanation for it! Ronald Knox (1888-1957), English Protestant and Catholic Theologian, Author, Radio Broadcaster BBC. Comment: If you are deceived enough to believe there is no God then you will also believe there is no devil. Three strikes and your out! So what is strike three? Doing nothing about your fallen condition and continuing in sin and destruction! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Are Neanderthals in the Bible? Genesis 6:4
The Hebrew word for giants is “Nephilim.” The word translates a Divine being that co-habituated with women! Most but not all Bible scholars believe the Divine beings were fallen angels! So why would Satan and his followers want to cross breed with women on earth? We know from the scriptures Satan will never repent and salvation is not possible for him and his followers! The reason Satan did this was to spoil the redemption plan God had for man! Only a pure human race could be redeemed! Only God becoming man could bring about redemption! So what did God do to solve this problem? He brought a world wide flood and saved only Noah and his family! This brings a challenge to the church in that science now has developed animals with human blood and organs! There is fossil evidence of humans dying in the flood! These humans are known as the Neanderthal men! The difference between the Neanderthal’s and modern man is about 1.3 percent of mitochondrial DNA sequences. Here are some questions and answers that will help us! How did the Neanderthals go extinct? They died in the flood. Why is there no evidence of a pre-flood man? There is much evidence of pre-flood men! They are the Neanderthals! Why is the Neanderthals genetically distinct from modern man? Neanderthals had only the first genetic reset, but modern man had both the first and second genetic reset! Why do we have his Neanderthal genetic mutations but he does not have ours (modern man). He is our ancestor. Our mutations were developed after the flood, so we have both Neanderthals and modern man mutations; he has only pre-flood mutations! Why did Neanderthals interbreed with modern man? He could not! Modern man was separated from him by the flood! Why are Neanderthals found in such diverse places? The flood deposited them over large geographical area’s. Why is Neanderthals physiologically and anatomically superior? His DNA is closer to Adam! Where does Neanderthals fit into post flood Biblical genealogy? He does not! We know from DNA tables of nation peoples (Genesis Chapter 10) and subsequent generations; none has the Neanderthals genetic signature! Source: Back to Genesis
Persian Empire and Christmas!
The word (Peri), according to Persian folklore is a supernatural being descended from Fallen Angels and excluded from paradise until penance is done. Remember the wise men or magi were Persians! I will detail about this in another posting. So the Persians who needed penance showed up to witness the birth of Christ! If this does not get your attention to the importance of witnessing to the Persian people nothing will. Merry Christmas! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
