Revelation 14:6 “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation and kindred, and tongue and people.” Commentary: Interesting how God is inclusive and exclusive! He takes his love to all yet those that reject him exclude themselves from all the benefits on earth and in heaven! God has sent his evangelists from every nation through all generations to proclaim the Good News! Here in the Book of Revelation just before the 7 year Tribulation period in history and the 7 plagues released upon the earth in judgment God sends his Word to every creature on earth! An angel is a messenger with a message! The final warning goes out! The angels listed in Chapter fourteen are really preparing his people for Jesus second coming at the end of the tribulation! Preserved and saved from the coming plagues on earth! Who is more compassionate than God and his Christ? What a different world we would have today if man did not reject his Word! We would not have the Coronavirus! People like in China would not have eaten bats and other birds of prey as instructed to avoid in our Bible! What a different world if the inhabitants of earth would have let Christ take their judgment on the Cross! How simple! How easy! Yet man wants to do it his way! Judgment and death! It cost Christ everything to take your penalty for sin! When I feel physical or mental pain I think of the Cross! Then my pain goes away! All the plagues of mankind were taken and paid for on the Cross! Christ will stay the plagues in your life! No plagues will come nigh thee! The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom! Believers in Christ have benefits that those who have rejected him do not have! Heaven starts here on earth for those in Christ! Heaven continues after earth for those in Christ! Those in Christ return to earth with him at his second coming! Hell not heaven begins on earth for those that reject Christ! Then hell continues for them after earth! Greater is he that is in you than he who is in the world! James & Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Is God a Racist?
Acts 17:26 “And hath made one blood of all nations of men to dwell on the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.” Commentary: There are about 30 scriptures on this subject both in the Old and New Testaments! Of all these words in this verse what was the first word that got your attention? For me it was the word bounds, boundaries or borders. Sin and crime crosses social boundaries! Rape! Murder! Looting! Arson! Rioting! All the wars ever fought on planet earth was over borders! Your lips are the border of your soul! The words out of your mouth can bring blessings or cursing’s! Trying to remove boundaries is the cancel culture of the left that is bringing destruction in our streets! Tearing down statues, arson, riots and looting is disrespecting boundaries established under our Constitution for our protection! Private property is a boundary! High walls is a border! Marriage has a boundary of protection for families! Heaven has a border and so does hell. Our laws have boundaries! God gave Adam and Eve boundaries in the Garden of Eden! Satan deceived them into violating the boundaries with the sentence of death! Then they found themselves looking into the Garden from the outside banned from the Garden! We have two aircraft carrier groups in the South China Sea because China is violating boundaries! Socialism is about violating boundaries! Jesus said he has gone to prepare a place for us in heaven! That is a secure place with borders! We have a military to protect our borders! Policing is protecting boundaries! As a Christian I have boundaries! What I can and cannot do! They are established by the Laws of God or his Word as described in my Bible! I should love and not hate! Boundaries! Yet God hates sin! Boundaries! Our Constitution was given to us to protect boundaries of freedom! First and second amendments! My home is a boundary to protect my family! Homeless people have no boundaries! They are at risk! Drug use is a violation of boundaries! Abortion is a violation of boundaries! Jesus said to go out into all the world to preach the Gospel! Is this a violation of boundaries? No because he created the world and all that is in it! During this pandemic i think the Good News is even better! Read your Bible the only Good News you can find today! James and Hamsa Sasse.

Is Profit Profitable?
1 Corinthians 10:33 “Even as I [please] all men in all things, not seeking my own [profit] but profit of many, that they may be [saved].” Commentary: The word [please] used here means to properly behave towards one who is in relationship to God and man. We are all related to each other all the way back to Adam and Eve! We are brothers and sisters in Christ! The Blood of one God saves us all. The covenant includes a family! The next word [profit] means to bring us together with the benefit of another! Profit requires people in relation to each other! Jesus said what profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul? A corporation working together or a family or church working together nets a profit! When a government working with the people brings a great benefit! Notice how Satan always tries to break up families, organizations, churches, marriages and nations! Break up through telling lies about God and people! Then only poverty is left! Profit can be good or evil! Jesus said the love of money is the root of all evil! Our last word is [saved]. Delivered from death and suffering! It is a permanent eternal state granted immediately to those who trust in Christ! To preserve us from judgment! Paul understood that he was to invest his life into the souls of men! Where are your profits invested? James & Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Christmas Story
It was Christmas Eve in Brooklyn New York in 1942. The war was on and a difficult time. It was snowing in New York. A cold night as Wilber was walking down the street thinking about his past. Wilber was 98 years old and his past troubled him? He had committed crimes and betrayed his family and many friends. He was most troubled about where he would go if he died? As he went by a church he heard Christmas Carols. Then he thought I know what I can do! I will join a church and this will throw me in with all the good folks. Then I can escape hell! Wilber went into this Lutheran Church and asked the Pastor if he could join the church? The Pastor told him if he could answer one question correctly. The question is where was Jesus Christ born? Wilber thought a minute and said Pittsburg. Sorry said the Pastor you need to find another place. Wilber went back out into the snow and cold and found a Catholic Church. He went in and asked the Priest if he could join? The Priest said he could only if you can answer one question correctly. Where was Jesus Christ born? Wilber strained his brain and said Philadelphia. The Priest told Wilber he was too far gone to make a good Catholic! Down but not out Wilber hit the streets once again. The he walked by a Synagogue but it looked closed. Then he saw a light in one of the back offices so he knocked on the door. A Rabbi opened the door and invited him in. Wilber asked if he could join the Synagogue? The Rabbi said sure you can! Wilbur was perplexed? Are you going to ask me any questions? No replied the Rabbi. Wilber asked the Rabbi if he would mind if he asked him a question? Please go right ahead said the Rabbi. Where was Jesus Christ born? The Rabbi responded Bethlehem of course! Wilber replied and said, ” I knew it was in Pennsylvania some place! ” Source; Unknown. Merry Christmas! James and Hamsa Sasse.

Why is 1492 A.D. Important? Esdras 6:42 (Apocrypha)
This same year the last of the Muslims were forced out of Spain by the Crusaders! Christopher Columbus set sail for America! This same year the Spanish Inquisition began! Why is all this significant? First Christopher Columbus was a Jew! Throughout his life Columbus showed a keen interest in the Bible and Bible Prophecy! He would often quote Biblical texts in his letters and in his ship logs. Part of the argument that a Book he submitted to the Spanish Monarchs when he sought for his support for his proposed expedition to reach the Indies by sailing west was based on his reading of the Second Book of Esdras 6:42. Columbus interpreted this scripture from the Bible to mean that the earth is made up of six parts of land and one of water. The then world maps showed only 5 continents so Christopher reasoned from the scriptures there was another continent missing on the world maps! So he thought traveling west he would discover this missing continent! If you read the quotes of Columbus he said he did not use science, navigation or mathematics but the scriptures as his guide! The Catholics got a hundred years start on evangelism of South and Central America because they did not reject the Apocrypha from the scriptures as the Protestants did! Towards the end of his life Columbus produced a Book of Prophecies in which his career as an explorer is interpreted in the light of Christian Eschatology and Apocalypticism. On August 3, 1492 the Edict of Expulsion was executed requiring all Jews to leave Spain! On August 2nd Columbus and his crew boarded their ships before midnight and left harbor 1/2 hour before sunrise. His historic journey was also financed with the help of some wealthy Jewish merchants! Spain had been a 2nd home for Jews since 200 A.D. Remember Paul wanted to travel there! There were 800000 Jews living in Spain when the Inquisition began! The Catholic Church in Spain wanted all Jews to convert to Catholicism! Also King Fernando and Isabella wanted to seize the Jewish wealth of Spain! History has shown us that if the Muslims are not around to persecute the Jews the Church is! Christopher was also searching for a land where the Jews could escape persecution! That happened to be America and a land which has always supported Israel! The Apocryphya was a collection of Books published in the original King James Bible of 1611. They were part of the King James Bible for 274 years until they were removed in 1885 A.D. They were inserted between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Here is what Esdras 6:42 says, “Upon the third day thou did command that the waters should be gathered in the seventh part of the earth; six parts thou dried up, and kept them, to the intent that of these some being planted of God and tilled that might serve thee.” KJV 1611 A.D.–1885 A.D. The parts of the Bible that were later thrown out were the GPS navigator’s for Columbus voyage to the New World in 1492! Maybe we should revisit the Apocrypha? Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse.

Who is Worthy? Revelation 5:——
Who is worthy? They looked everywhere in heaven and on the earth but could find no one worthy to open the seven seals of judgment on the earth! Then a revelation came that only the Lamb of God was worthy to open the seals to release the judgments! Why was Christ only worthy? Because he took our judgment upon himself at Calvary! If you do not let Christ take your judgment then you take your own judgment! Christ released the judgments upon the earth to judge those who have rejected his judgment for them! This is the one and only unpardonable sin! Why? Because if you reject Christ and the judgment he took for you then you have rejected the only one who could pardon you from your sin! This Easter do not let the season pass without receiving the Passover lamb as the sacrifice for you! Remember he makes us worthy!!James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Everyday is a Gift! Psalm 118:24
Give everyday the chance to become the most beautiful day of your life! Mark Twain Comment: I have learned through life that the world rejects me but Christ has accepted me! Everyday belongs to our Creator yet in his mercy he has granted me another day to Praise him! He made me acceptable by his own blood! Not many or probably none would shed their blood for you except just one! He already has! The only one many people reject? Heaven is also a gift to us and those in Christ when their days end here on earth will serve him in Heaven until we return with him at his second coming to take over and rule the earth in righteousness and peace! A day was reserved for Christ to accomplish redemption for us on a lonely Cross at Calvary! Ever difficult day of my life has provided me the opportunity to trust Christ and to learn he has never left me nor forsaken me! Never trust anything that cannot save you and raise you from the dead! Happy Easter! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Who is Worthy?
Revelation Chapter Five: Commentary; Good question! I am glad you asked! It seems challenging for most to ask this question and more challenging to get the right answer! God does not give us multiple choice questions! You either know or you do not know! Do not feel bad this question seemed to be challenging in Heaven! The question in Heaven was answered by asking who was not worthy to open the seven seals of the Book to pour out judgment upon the earth! Notice some honorable mentions of those not worthy to open the seals! The Father was not worthy! The Holy Spirit was not worthy! The angels were not worthy! The twenty four elders were not worthy! The four beasts were not worthy! No man in heaven and on earth or under the earth was worthy! No King or priest in the earth was worthy! In our natural state all men on the earth are fit for judgment! All have sinned and come short of the glory of God! So who is our sin against! Our sin is against the Father! Our sin is not against the Son but the Father! Christ sacrificed himself on the Cross to reconcile you to his Father in Heaven! Christ provided a way of escape from your judgment! He took your judgment on the Cross! This is why the Father has rendered all judgment unto the Son! So only Christ in Heaven was worthy to open the Book after taking it out of the Father’s right hand and loose judgment into the earth! Judgment on who? Those that have rejected Christ! If we reject Christ then our sin expands not just against the Father but against the Son! This is an unreconcilable sin! This is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and the complete Trinity! You have now gone over the edge with no return! Now we have committed the unpardonable sin! Jesus said of Judas who betrayed Jesus it would have been better if this man had not been born! Why did Jesus say this? Because Judas chose to reject the only one who was going to take his judgment on the Cross! Had he not been born he would not have made a choice for eternal separation from God! However had Judas not betrayed Jesus someone else would have! You or me! This is why evangelism is so important as Jesus commanded us to go out into all the world and preach the Gospel! Do not let the popular culture try to conform you into being silent about Jesus! Shout his name from the roof tops! Jesus will either be your Savior or your Judge! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Who is Worthy? Revelation 5: 1-14
Worthy to do what? To open the seven seals of the book in the hand of the Father! To bring judgment upon the earth! So who was not worthy to open the book? This book is your Bible my friend in heaven! All judgment is rendered according to His Word! The strong angel was not worthy! The elders, angels, saints, four beasts, patriarchs, disciples, Jews, Gentiles, not anyone in heaven except one! Who? Who is worthy to render judgment on earth from heaven? The one that took your judgment upon himself for your sin while on earth! When Jesus took the book out of the hand of the Father a celebration broke out in heaven! A new song was written! The prayers of the saints were released! The song of redemption was sung in heaven! God now closes his plan of redemption on earth and judgment is released on those that have rejected Christ! Seven judgments come upon the earth! Your decision on Christ has current and eternal consequences! Your eternity rests on what you do with Christ! Today on earth there is redemption and judgment! However the redemption chapter will close one day on all of us! Were you wise to receive him or were you a fool to reject him? Have you made the right choice? If you have not time will run out on all of us here on earth! Time is forever in heaven but the time of judgment ticks forward on every human born on earth! You can stop that clock of judgment by starting your walk with Jesus today here on earth! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Prayer! Philippians 4: 6-7
Those who pray from the heart do not think about the prayer they are saying, but about the God to whom they pray! Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622), French Theologian. Comment: As a Christian for 45 years I have learned through prayer that God likes to be reminded who He is! This has been a key for me to successful intercession! You will not know who God is until you read and study your Bible! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
