If you cannot receive what Jesus said, you are corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth.  

          I want you to consider this:

For he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition,

15 having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the twain one new man, so making peace; and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17 and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh: 18  for through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father. 19  So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God, 20  being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone; 21 in whom each several building, fitly framed together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord; 22  in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit. (Eph.2.14ff)

What is he talking about?  He is telling us that Jesus did away with what separated the Gentiles and the Jews by removing the Law written by Moses containing all the laws and commands concerning offering gifts and sacrifices which were substitutes for our blood, as he offered his own as a lamb without spot or blemish, so that the Gentiles are no more strangers and cut off from the promises, but are built upon the Foundation, Jesus Christ being the Chief Corner Stone.

          So, WHERE did all this come from, if not from the Law and Prophets?!  What we have was the Foundation first laid by the Prophets, then the Apostles of Christ as they spoke the Words of God giving us the complete revelation of God, that is, all that He wanted us to know, in all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.  All the promises came from the promises given to the patriarchs of the Old Testament; we would have NOTHING at all were it not for them.  Then the Apostles of Christ made sense out of it all, in their inspired writings.

          Most folks do not even realize there is a Foundation, but again it came from the Prophets; consider:

14  Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem: 15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: 16 therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.  17 And I will make judgment the line, and righteousness the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.  18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.  19 As often as it passes through, it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night: and it shall be nought but terror to understand the message.  (Isa.28.14-19)

I have taught from this a great deal, and for those who have studied with me know what this is saying, but here God reveals the Corner Stone, and we know that is Jesus Christ, as we may read from 1 Peter:

1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speaking,  2 as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation; 3 if ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious:  4 unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious,  5 ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.  6 Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believes on him shall not be put to shame.  7 For you therefore which believe is the preciousness: but forsuch as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; 8 and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.  9 But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for Gods own possession, that ye may shew forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light: 10 which in time past were no people, but now are the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. (1 Pet.2.1ff)

There are a host of things to be learned from this, to wit, that today's ministers have rejected the Foundation, and the Corner Stone which is the Word of God, even though they know is it Jesus, but as we read in Isaiah and from Peter, we must LINE UP to the Corner Stone which is the Word of God if we are going to be saved.  The point is, that this has come from the Old Testament, it covers a host of studies concerning the Foundation God has laid, to which all must learn and obey in order to be born again.

          Then consider this:

1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you Gentiles, 2 if so be that ye have heard of the dispensation of that grace of God which was given me to youward; 3 how that by revelation was made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote afore in few words, 4 hereby, when ye read, ye can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ; 5 which in other generations was not made known unto the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit; 6 to wit, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. (Eph.3.1ff)

Partakers of WHAT promise?  And what mystery in few words is he talking about?  Here:

The BOOK OF HEBREWS describes the mystery, how that the Gentiles and the Jews would come together into one body, Christ having broken down and removed the enmity of the laws and commands Moses wrote concerning the offering of blood, and how the NEW COVENANT was to be written in our hearts, as here:

8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, That I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah; 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For they continued not in my covenant, And I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, And on their heart also will I write them: And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people: 11 And they shall not teach every man his fellow citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them.  12 For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And their sins will I remember no more.  (Heb.8.8ff)

But, he is quoting from here:

31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the LORD; I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people: 34 and they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more. (Jer.31.31ff)

So, how many of you know what the NEW COVENANT even is?  It is that God wants HIS WORD written in our hearts, which is our inheritance, which is the promise, which is our hope, which is eternal life, so will you still suppose the Old Testament is not valid?!

          While few of you understand this, it is laid out for you to study, but then you have read the 11th chapter of Hebrews where Paul names some of the Old Testament icons, what they suffered, what they received, and about their faith; if the Old Testament is no longer valid, why would he mention them?!  Here:

By faith Abraham, being tried, offered up Isaac: yea, he that had gladly received the promises was offering up his only begotten son; 18 even he to whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19 accounting that God is able to raise up, even from the dead; from whence he did also in a parable receive him back.  20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.  21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.  22 By faith Joseph, when his end was nigh, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.  23  By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw he was a goodly child; and they were not afraid of the kings commandment.  24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaohs daughter; 25 choosing rather to be evil entreated with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26 accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked unto the recompense of reward.  27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.  28 By faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.  29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were swallowed up.  30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been compassed about for seven days.  31 By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with them that were disobedient, having received the spies with peace.  32 And what shall I more say? for the time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah; of David and Samuel and the prophets: 33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, waxed mighty in war, turned to flight armies of aliens. (Heb.11.17ff)

If the Old Testament is not relevant then why would Paul use them as EXAMPLES for us; then here:

1 For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, how that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2 and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 and did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4 and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ.  5 Howbeit with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.  6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.  7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.  8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.  9 Neither let us tempt the Lord, as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents.  10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer.  11 Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come. (1 Cor.10.1ff)

If the Old Testament is not relevant, WHY would Paul say the things that happened to Israel were for OUR EXAMPLES that we should not do the same things as they?  If the Old Testament is not relevant to us, why bother showing what they did and how they were judged for their disobedience?

          Here, let me go back and quote from Isaiah again:

Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem: 15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: 16 therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. 

If the Old Testament is not relevant, why does Peter quote from it, talking about Jesus being the Corner Stone?  And, you know the overflowing scourge is the Tribulation; if this text is not relevant, then it WILL NOT COME TO PASS, but I tell you it is about to come to pass on this generation.

Proof that God has Not Sent Them

          Alright, are you ready?!  I will now quote to you from Jeremiah a text that proves that none of these great icons you see out here in the church world are sent by God, and that none of you have listened to the words of the prophets, nor are you listening to me, so here it is:

9 Concerning the prophets. Mine heart within me is broken, all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome; because of the LORD, and because of his holy words.  10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up; and their course is evil, and their force is not right.  11 for both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.  12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery places in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.  13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied by Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.  14 In the prophets of Jerusalem also I have seen an horrible thing; they commit adultery, and walk in lies, and they strengthen the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them become unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

15 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.  16 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you; they teach you vanity: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.  17 They say continually unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and unto every one that walketh in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, No evil shall come upon you.

18 For who hath stood in the council of the LORD, that he should perceive and hear his word? who hath marked my word, and heard it?  19 Behold, the tempest of the LORD, even his fury, is gone forth, yea, a whirling tempest: it shall burst upon the head of the wicked.

20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall understand it perfectly.  21 I sent not these prophets, yet they ran: I spake not unto them, yet they prophesied.  22  But if they had stood in my council, then had they caused my people to hear my words, and had turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. (Jer.23.9ff)

The last statement PROVES it, that if they had been sent by God then they would have caused you all to hear the Word of God and would have turned you from the evil of your ways and from the evil of your doings, but they have NOT done that...then comes Elijah with a word too hard for you, so that you come, stay a while, but fall away when the going get hard...therefore God will indeed come as here:

Behold, the tempest of the LORD, even his fury, is gone forth, yea, a whirling tempest: it shall burst upon the head of the wicked.  20 The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall understand it perfectly.   (verses 19-21)

These are the LATTER DAYS, in case you wonder, and that whirling tempest is the Tribulation that will BURST upon this generation suddenly and without warning as now.  These have NOT STOOD IN THE COUNSEL OF THE LORD; they have not stood in the truth of His Word, therefore they have no power to convict the people, because they themselves are guilty as they are.

Now Comes Elijah...

          The Scripture says of me:

1 Behold, I send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the master, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in, behold, he comes, saith the LORD of hosts.  2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiners fire, and like fullers soap. (Mal.3.1ff)

So, who is able to stand before me; I have challenged scores of ministers to debate me; I have challenged them to give me definitions of 'Grace', of 'Faith', and how to receive them; I have asked them to take hold of what I say and point out ONE THING I have written that is wrong, but not ONE has come forward  except to call me a false prophet; they hope I will go away, but I am not about to go away.

          I take you to my web sites; you read and endure for a little while, then go away; some say it is too hard!  Some say, I just cannot do it?  Well, why?  Has not the church world told you that you are God's people, 'saved, sanctified, and full of the Holy Ghost'?  But how can you be when your preachers do not even know what it means to be 'saved', or 'sanctified', or 'full of the Holy Ghost'; they are yoked in their sins also; they have no power to control their thoughts or their appetites; they have no power over their flesh to bring it into subjection, and what is more, they do not want to; they are living high, getting all these accolades, and all this praise and glory and wealth, and so, I am become as an unclean thing to them; I am an enigma, a derision, a bad dream; they will not come near me.

          I take you through many things you have not known in my very first website, 'Being Born Again', then with 'Messiah of Israel', but you still suppose I am just an old guy trying to make myself out as some great one, but think, folks; if I be Elijah, then I will be an example in all things, in faith, in self-control, in self-denial, the truth, in confidence toward God, in knowledge, how could I not be if I be this Elijah to come?!

          But who indeed is able to stand before me?  The false prophets will stand back and bad mouth me, but they will not take hold of what I say to deal with it, and they certainly will not engage me in a public forum; they are cowards, and rotten to the core; they have no veracity, no honesty, but rather, they are full of pride, and their arrogance oozes like sap out of a tree.  They are false teachers and no one has ever been perfected or born again by listening to them...NO ONE, NOT ONE has been born of the Spirit listening to these people, but rather are deceived into thinking they are going to receive the promises of God because they speak in tongues and tingle all over.

          Here;

1 If there arise in the midst of thee a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he give you a sign or a wonder, 2 and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto you, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; 3  thou shall not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proves you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.  4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. (Deu.13.1ff)

See: this happens all the day long; they come to you, they prophesy something that comes to pass, then they teach you garbage, but you eat it because they heal or because their word comes to pass upon you, but Jesus told you how to discern a false prophet:

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.  16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?  17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.  18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.  19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.  20 Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them.  (Mt.7.15ff)

Then we compare this:

33 Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit.  34 Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.  35 The good man out of his good treasure brings forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth evil things.  36 And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.  37 For by thy words thou shall be justified, and by thy words thou shall be condemned.  (Mt.12.33ff)

It is what they teach that makes the difference, not their miracles, or mighty works, as Jesus points out here so well:

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.  22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out devils, and by thy name do many mighty works?  23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity. (Mt.7.21ff)

Jesus did not give them one iota of acknowledgment for their prophecies and their mighty works and their casting out demons...then he tells them they are workers of iniquity!  Still some of you run to these guys because you see people healed and see them cast out demons, and hear them prophecy, but you do NOT examine what they teach!  You are so foolish!

          So, what will change all this?  What will put these ministers to shame?  The Word of God puts them to shame, but no one realizes that, so what will happen?  I quote again from Isaiah:

'...and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.  18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.  19 As often as it passes through, it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night: and it shall be nought but terror to understand the message. (Isa.28.17ff)

Let's talk about this HAIL; what if it comes in the form of two and three ton rocks out of the sky?!  Will that get our attention?!  What if it comes like rain and goes on for days and days; will that get your attention!  What if it destroys bridges, highway, roads, railroad tracks, sinks ships, downs airplanes, cuts communications and destroys your churches all over the world, but my web sites will stay up...would that get your attention?!  Well, that is EXACTLY what is coming, then maybe you will begin to take the Word of God seriously to do it, but the way it is, when it comes...suddenly will it come, you will be afraid to look up into the sky; everything will stop...no government agency will function; they world will come to a stand-still.

          I tell you that it will punch many holes in the tents of your evangelists, from pea size to four feet in diameter; if they are teaching the truth, it will not come near them; if you are believing the truth, then it will not come near you...but this will be the proof of your worth.  You say you have the truth and are doing it?  Alright, then you have nothing to worry about, but if there are flaws in what you believe, then you will be hurt by this...your houses, your vehicles, and you will be left screaming for terror and for God to help, but He will say:

24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26 I also will laugh in the day of your calamity; I will mock when your fear comes; 27 When your fear comes as a storm, and your calamity comes on as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish come upon you.  28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me diligently, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30 They would none of my counsel; they despised all my reproof: 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.  32 For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. (Pro.1.24ff)

You think this is all fun and games, that you can take the Word of God and use it the way that suits you, but woe to you! you tent evangelist in particular, every one of you!  If you have stood in the counsel of the Lord, then none of this will affect you, and the promise here is yours: 

5 You shall not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flies by day; 6 For the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.  7 A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.  8 Only with your eyes shall thou behold, and see the reward of the wicked.  9 For you, O LORD, are my refuge! you hast made the Most High thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. (Psm.91.5ff)

You tent evangelists; here is a promise for you!  If all that you preach and teach and prophecy is true, then you have no worries, right?!  But this is true for all of you, from the Vatican, to the littlest church in the backwoods of Podunk Arkansas.  None of you have are seeking God in truth will have a thing to worry about, you will be delivered, but if not, you will be hurt by it.

          But you will say that all this is in the future afar off, that it will not affect you, but if I be Elijah; if what I have written and preach is true, then this will come to pass very soon upon your heads, and you will know that I am indeed Elijah, that I have paid a dear price (my wife included) for all these treasures of wisdom and knowledge the Lord has given me over these past 50 years, while you have been having a big time out there, going from city to city, raking in the money, eating your fill, and living it up, but God is about to bring the whole bunch of you down to sit in the dust, then you will begin to understand that the Word of God is nothing as you say it is, that you do not know a THING about God.

          So, folks; this is going to make or break me, and I know that many of you hope that this indeed will fail and not come to pass, so go on about what you are doing until you wake up to this roar and flashes of light and thunder and the ground shakes under you...oh, you talk about a wake up call!

          Just thought you'd like to know.
