Prayer: Psalms 50:3-7 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. (4) He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that

he may judge his people. (5) Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by

sacrifice. (6) And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah. (7) Hear, O my

people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.

History Book - Encarta Ency. ‘Sunday’ - first day of the week. Its English and German name Suntag, are derived from the Latin word Diasolice, Sun's day, the name of the Pagan Roman holiday. In the early days of Christianity, Sunday replaced the Sabbath and to be observed to honor the resurrection of Christ.

This started in the 4th Century when the Catholic

Church lifted up that ‘Other Jesus’ and gave him to

the world.

IGNORANT: 1. lacking in knowledge or training; unlearned: an ignorant man. 2. lacking knowledge

or information as to a particular subject or fact: 3.

uninformed; unaware.

Acts 13:40-42 Beware therefore, lest that come upon

you, which is spoken of in the prophets; (41)

Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I

work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in

no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you. (42) And when the Jews were gone out of the

synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words

might be preached to them the next sabbath.

Isaiah 29:14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a

marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of

their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

Notes:

Wise/Prudent men = Preachers

Wisdom has perished from them because they worship and serve that other Jesus and

not the God of the Bible.

Romans 1:16-22, 24-28, 32 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. (17) For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (18) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; (19) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. (20)

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. (22) Professing themselves to be

wise, they became fools, 24 Wherefore God

also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: (25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (26) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: (27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. (28) And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those

things which are not convenient; 32 Who

knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Notes:

Faith = Belief

JESUS is the CREATOR

Godhead = o The Father o The Son, Jesus

The Dragon (Satan) is a creature.

o Creature = things God created

This is talking about the ministers and so-called preachers of today who teach false doctrine to the people. If they don’t repent and teach the truth, God will give them a reprobate mind that they will not be able to come back from.

Natural use = Women with men

Vile affections = Men with men and women with women.

Revelation 12:7-10, 12-13 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. 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. (13) And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. Notes:

Dragon = o Satan o Old Serpent o Deceiver o Devil o Destroyer o Lucifer o God of this world o That 'Other' Jesus

The Woman is the house of Israel. She will flee to the Wilderness where she hath a place prepared for her for 3 ½ years (1260 days).

Man Child = JESUS

Genesis 3:1-7, 9-14 Now the serpent was more

9/29/18 - Teacher: Bro. Melvin The Israel of God 520 W. 138th Street, Riverdale, IL. 60827 PH. 800-96-BIBLE KJV 3

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? (2) 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 the midst of the 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. (6) And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also

unto her husband with her; and he did eat. (7) And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves

aprons. 9 And the LORD God called unto

Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? (10) And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. (11) And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? (12) And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. (13) And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. (14) And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: Notes:

Serpent = Satan

Tree of Knowledge & Evil = Satan o He deceived Eve and she told

those lies to Adam. Adam wasn’t deceived and went right along with the lies.

Ephesians 6:10-17 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his

might. (11) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (12) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]. (13) Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. (14) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; (15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; (16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. (17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Notes:

Don't look at the person; look at the spirit behind them.

To put on the whole armour of God, you must read and have his word in your mind and apply it.

There are an innumerable number of fallen angels walking around, so be aware and keep your armour on.

2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; Notes:

Angels that sinned = the fallen angels

Hell = Earth

Chains of darkness = they are invisible

Judgment = Lake of fire

1 Peter 5:6-8 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: (7) Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. (8) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

2 Thessalonians 2:1-7, 9-10 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him, (2) That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. (3) Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except

there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; (4) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. (5) Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? (6) And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. (7) For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken

out of the way. 9 [Even him], whose coming is

after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, (10) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Notes:

Falling away = the truth (God's word) is shunned and ignored.

Man of sin/Son of perdition = The Pope/Anti-Christ

Perdition = destruction

He who letteth = The Father Ezekiel 28:1-2 The word of the LORD came

again unto me, saying, (2) Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God: Notes:

Prince of Tyrus = Satan

Heart = Mind

Isaiah 14:12-15 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! (12) For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: (14) I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. (15) Yet thou shalt be brought down to

hell, to the sides of the pit. Notes:

Lucifer = Satan, the devil

Ground = Earth

His desire is to be like the most High and ascend into heaven (3rd heaven) and those that worship him want to go there with him.

Psalms 48:1-2 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. (2) Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. Notes:

City of Our God = Jerusalem

Sides of the north = Zion (Jerusalem)

Great King = Jesus Ezekiel 28:3-6, 8, 11-16 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee: (4) With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: (5) By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches: (6) Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because

thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; 8

They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the

midst of the seas. 11 Moreover the word of the

LORD came unto me, saying, (12) Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. (13) Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone [was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. (14) Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee [so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. (15) Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. (16) By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Notes:

King of Tyrus = Satan

Cherub = Angel

Cast = throw down

Ground = Earth

Mountain of God = 3rd Heaven

Ezekiel 10:1-2, 4, 14 Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne. (2) And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.

4 Then the glory of the LORD went up from the

cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the

LORD'S glory. 14 And every one had four faces:

the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. Notes:

This is what Satan looks like. Ezekiel 28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Luke 4:1-8 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, (2) Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he

did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. (3) And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. (4) And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. (5) And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. (6) And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. (7) If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. (8) And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Notes:

Jesus custom was to teach on the Sabbath day.

Daniel 2:36-42, 45 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king. (37) Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom,

9/29/18 - Teacher: Bro. Melvin The Israel of God 520 W. 138th Street, Riverdale, IL. 60827 PH. 800-96-BIBLE KJV 6

power, and strength, and glory. (38) And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold. (39) And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. (40) And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. (41) And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. (42)

And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly

strong, and partly broken. 45 Forasmuch as

thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. Notes:

Ten toes = the European Union

Stone = Jesus

The Euphrates River runs through Turkey, which is the dividing line between West & Eastern Europe.

Daniel 7:1-8, 15-19, 21-23, 25 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters. (2) Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. (3) And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. (4] The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. (5] And

behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. (6) After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. (7) After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. (8) I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were

three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great

things. 15 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in

the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. (16) I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things. (17) These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth. (18) But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. (19) Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with

his feet; 21 I beheld, and the same horn made

war with the saints, and prevailed against them; (22) Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. (23) Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. (24) And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first,

and he shall subdue three kings. 25 And he

shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Notes:

Gentiles = Europeans/White people o They run the world.

Kings = Kingdoms

Great Sea = Peoples, nations and tongues

4th beast/kingdom = Roman Empire

10 horns = The men who have tried to resurrect the Roman empire.

The Roman Catholic Church took Pagan customs and put Christianity on it so it would be accepted. They are destroying the people spiritually as well as physically, which is why it’s a terrible beast.

Examples of Paganism being changed: o Sunday = Day of the Sun/Day of

worship (Sabbath replaced) o Easter = Goddess of

fertility/Resurrection o Christmas = Birth of the

unconquered ‘SUN’/Birth of that ‘Other Jesus’

Times & laws changed = Sabbath switched to the 1st day (Sunday), a new day begins at midnight and not at sundown.

Time, times and dividing of times = 3 ½ years of tribulation

Revelation 13:1-2 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. (2) And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. Note

7 heads: o Babylon – 1 head o Medo-Persia – 1 head o Greece – 4 heads o Rome – 1 head

They (Romans/Gentiles) get their power from the Dragon (Satan).

The Beast = European Union

Revelation 12:1-4 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: (2) And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. (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. (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. Notes:

Sun = Jacob

Moon= his Wife

Stars = their sons, the 12 tribes of Israel

The Woman is the house of Israel. She will flee to the Wilderness where she hath a place prepared for her for 3 ½ years (1260 days).

Man Child = JESUS

Matthew 2:1-8, 12-13, 16 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, (2) Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. (3) When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. (4) And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. (5) And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, (6) And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. (7) Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. (8) And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found [him], bring me word again, that

I may come and worship him also. 12 And

being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. (13) And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying,

9/29/18 - Teacher: Bro. Melvin The Israel of God 520 W. 138th Street, Riverdale, IL. 60827 PH. 800-96-BIBLE KJV 8

Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young

child to destroy him. 16 Then Herod, when he

saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. Notes:

Star = Angel

Herod tried to kill Jesus. o He was an Edomite who converted

to Judaism.

Joseph, Mary and Jesus went down into Egypt to hide because they blended in, color to color, Blacks among other Blacks.

If Jesus looked like the images of a white man with blond hair and blue eyes, shouldn't he have gone to Europe instead of Egypt? Of course, but that's not how Jesus looked. Jesus is an Israelite (Black), not a Gentile (White).

Jesus is not your personal Savior. Salvation is common and open to all who seek it and keep the Commandments.

Herod was an Edomite, not an Israelite. His ancestors were converted to Judaism by the Maccabees.

Governor = Jesus

Everyone who has been born will live forever; either as spirit beings in the kingdom of God or as spirit beings in the Lake or fire.

Revelation 13:1-8, 11-12 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. (2) And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. (3) And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. (4) And they worshipped the dragon which gave

power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? (5) And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. (6) And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. (7) And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. (8) And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain

from the foundation of the world. 11 And I

beheld another beast coming up out of the

earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. (12) And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. Notes:

Dragon = Satan

Wounded head = the fall of Rome in 476

Beast with 2 horns o Secular leader = Head of the EU o Religious leader = Pope of Rome,

the little horn.

42 months = 3 1/2 years

2 Corinthians 11:1-4, 13-15 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. (2) For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as

a chaste virgin to Christ. (3) But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. (4) For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not

accepted, ye might well bear with [him]. 13 For

such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. (14) And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (15)

Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. Notes:

Another Jesus = A false Jesus, not of the Bible. The god of Sunday, Christmas, Easter, etc

Another spirit = unholy angel

Another gospel = false gospel, not of the Bible.

Satan’s ministers are false preachers, pastors, evangelists, ministers, prophets, etc, that teach you lies, such as Sunday is the Sabbath day and Christ was born on Dec. 25.

Matthew 15:1-3, 8-9 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, (2) Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. (3) But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God

by your tradition? 8 This people draweth nigh

unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. (9) But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Notes:

Vain = for nothing, worthless

The Lord's Table Satan's Table/False Doctrine

1 Corinthians 10:20-21 But I say, that the things, which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would

not that ye should have fellowship with devils. (21) Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. Notes:

Devils = fallen angels Jeremiah 16:18-20 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things. (19) O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the

day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and [things] wherein [there is] no profit. (20) Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they [are] no gods? (21) Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name [is] The LORD. Notes:

The fathers of the Gentiles inherited lies (false doctrine, Christmas, Easter, Going to heaven, etc.) from the Catholic Church and passed them down to their children and the world.

Revelation 17:1-5, 7-9 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: (2) With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. (3) So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. (4) And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: (5) And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE

EARTH. 7 And the angel said unto me,

Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. (8) The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. (9) And here [is] the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

9/29/18 - Teacher: Bro. Melvin The Israel of God 520 W. 138th Street, Riverdale, IL. 60827 PH. 800-96-BIBLE KJV 10

Notes:

The great whore = the false religion (Catholicism)

Many waters = People

Wine of her fornication = false doctrine

Mother = Roman Catholic Church

Harlots = Protestant Churches

She is built on 7 mountains (hills), this is Vatican City in Rome, Italy

The Beast with 7 heads and 10 horns = The Revived Roman Empire

The 10 horns are the European Union

The beast that was and is not is the last rise of the Roman Empire, the European Union.

Isaiah 28:7-10, 12 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. (8) For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean. (9) Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from the breasts. (10) For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a

little: 12 To whom he said, This [is] the rest

[wherewith] ye may cause the weary to rest; and this [is] the refreshing: yet they would not hear. Notes:

Strong drink = false doctrine

Vomit/Filthiness = Lies and false doctrine

Milk = Word of God

Another tongue = other languages other than Hebrew

This people = Israel, His Priests

Isaiah 29:9-13, 16 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken,

but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. (10) For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. (11) And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: (12) And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. (13) Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of

men: 16 Surely your turning of things upside

down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding? Notes:

Spirit of deep sleep = Spiritually blind

Drunken = Drunk with false doctrine

Precept of men = Law, teaching, rule, guidelines of men who claim to be priests, preachers, ministers, etc

The people who are spiritually blind believe in the things that men (false teachers & preachers) teach them rather than what God has had written.

The Work/Thing framed = People

2 Kings 22:1-4, 8-13 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of

Boscath. (2) And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left. (3) And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying, (4) Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people:

8 And Hilkiah the high priest said unto

9/29/18 - Teacher: Bro. Melvin The Israel of God 520 W. 138th Street, Riverdale, IL. 60827 PH. 800-96-BIBLE KJV 11

Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it. (9) And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD. (10) And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king. (11) And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes. (12) And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying, (13) Go ye, enquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.

2 Kings 23:1-7, 11-13, 24 And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem. (2) And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD. (3) And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant. (4) And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he

burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel. (5) And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven. (6) And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people. (7) And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove

hangings for the grove. 11 And he took away

the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire. (12) And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron. (13) And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did

the king defile. 24 Moreover the workers with

familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were

written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD. Notes:

Even Israel became caught up in paganism and sun worship.

Sodomites = Homosexuals 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 [Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, (10) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (11)

9/29/18 - Teacher: Bro. Melvin The Israel of God 520 W. 138th Street, Riverdale, IL. 60827 PH. 800-96-BIBLE KJV 12

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: (12) That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Notes:

Damned = to receive a reprobate mind, which leads to eternity in the Lake of fire

EXTRA VERSES

2 Peter 3:13-18 Nevertheless we, according to his

promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. (14) Wherefore,

beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be

diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. (15) 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; (16) 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. (17) 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. (18) 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.

Notes:

Wrest = twist

2 Corinthians 4:1-6 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; (2)

But have renounced the hidden things of

dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling

the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of

the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. [3) But if our gospel

be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: (4) In whom

the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them

which believe not, lest the light of the glorious

gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should

shine unto them. (5) For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your

servants for Jesus' sake. (6) For God, who

commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the

knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Notes:

God of this world = Satan, ‘another Jesus’.

Romans 7:18-25 For I know that in me (that is, in

my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is

good I find not. (19) For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. (20)

Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do

it, but sin that dwelleth in me. (21) I find then a law,

that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

(22) For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: (23) But I see another law in my members,

warring against the law of my mind, and bringing

me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my

members. (24) O wretched man that I am! who shall

deliver me from the body of this death? (25) I thank

God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the

flesh the law of sin.

Romans 6:16-18 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield

yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of

obedience unto righteousness? (17) But God be

thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye

have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine

which was delivered you. (18) Being then made free

from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

Matthew 24:1-5, 15-22 And Jesus went out, and

departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. (2)

And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left

here one stone upon another, that shall not be

thrown down. (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. 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.

Notes:

Abomination of Desolation = False Prophet (Pope)

Holy Place = The 3rd Temple in Jerusalem

Daniel 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and

they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall

place the abomination that maketh desolate.

9/29/18 - Teacher: Bro. Melvin The Israel of God 520 W. 138th Street, Riverdale, IL. 60827 PH. 800-96-BIBLE KJV 13

Notes:

Sanctuary of strength = 3rd Temple

Daily sacrifice = animal sacrifice

Abomination that maketh desolate = Pope of Rome

Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily

sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination

that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a

thousand two hundred and ninety days.

Daniel 11:36-38 And the king shall do according to

his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify

himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till

the indignation be accomplished: for that that is

determined shall be done. (37) Neither shall he

regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of

women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify

himself above all. (38) But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his

fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and

silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant

things.

Notes:

King = Man of Sin (the Pope) o He and his entire ilk take a vow of

celibacy. He will not desire women at

all.

God of gods = The Father

God of forces = Satan

Jeremiah 12:10, 14-16 Many pastors have destroyed

my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate

wilderness 14 Thus saith the LORD against all mine

evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I

have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I

will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the

house of Judah from among them. (15) And it shall

come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I

will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and

every man to his land. (16) And it shall come to

pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my

people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as

they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.

Notes:

My Vineyard = Children of Israel

Baal = Pagan god

The Nations must learn the Word of God from Israel, not the other way around.

John 4:19-22 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I

perceive that thou art a prophet. (20) Our fathers

worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in

Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. (21) Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the

hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this

mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

(22) Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we

worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

Notes:

In order for the stranger to be saved, they have to become a part of the commonwealth

of Israel and do everything Israel does.

Romans 1:13 Now I would not have you ignorant,

brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some

fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

1 Corinthians 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts,

brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
