The Fallen Cherub – Exposed Charles E. Hamilton

In order to expose and stand against the enemy’s plans in these end times, we need to briefly look at the vision of Ezekiel. In that vision, we’re going to compare the four cherubim on earth with the four cherubim in Heaven from the book of Revelation. We’re also going to look at the fallen cherub, who was named – lucifer. In doing so, we will understand why the enemy needs “the man of sin” to come upon the scene.

God was very specific to the man Moses in building the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant. God said, “make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.”

What we will see in Ezekiel’s vision and in Revelation are not the copies that Moses built upon the earth, but the authentic Cherubim themselves.

Ezekiel 1 - The Vision

Let’s begin in Ezekiel 1:10,

As for the form of their faces, each had the face of a man; all four had the face of a lion on the right and the face of a bull on the left, and all four had the face of an eagle. Ezekiel 1:10

In Ezekiel’s vision, we’re shown four heavenly creatures from an earthly perspective - each having four faces. They each had the face of a MAN, all four had the face of a LION on the right, the face of a BULL (OX) on the left, and all had the face of an EAGLE.

Now let’s look at these creatures from a heavenly perspective.

Revelation 4:5-8

Out from the throne come flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; and before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal; and in the center and around the throne, four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind.

The Fallen Cherub – Exposed Charles E. Hamilton

The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle.

And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say, “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is THE LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, WHO WAS AND WHO IS AND WHO IS TO COME.” Revelation 4:5-8

In Revelation 4:5-8, the four living creatures are seen in John's vision from a heavenly perspective. The first creature appears as a lion, the second creature like a calf (Ox), the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle.

In Ezekiel Chapter 1, these creatures appear to have four faces that are different from what we see in the book of Revelation. In the book of Revelation, we see that each living creature only has one face. In Ezekiel's vision, the four living creatures are described as having four wings, but in Revelation we see each living creature has six wings. Even though there are differences in the number of wings, these are the very same creatures that were created by God. Ezekiel describes the four creatures from earth’s perspective and the Apostle John describes them from a Heavenly perspective.

In Ezekiel’s vision, the prophet is only observing the Cherubim; however, in the book of Revelation, John is interacting with the four creatures based upon the specific Church ages being revealed. The four beasts in Revelation depict how the Holy Spirit responded to the four horsemen throughout the Church ages.

The Four Horsemen verses Four Cherubim. (Revelation 6:1-8)

1st Seal - White Horse & Lion faced Cherubim (53-170 A.D.) - I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was

The Fallen Cherub – Exposed Charles E. Hamilton given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest. Revelation 6:1-2

During the years 53-170 A.D when the White Horse was released by Satan, God, through the Holy Spirit, released the Lion attributes of Apostles and Prophets who preached the Word of God with great boldness. As the last of the apostles died off, this led to a time of great persecution which is seen in the unveiling of the second seal.

2nd Seal - Red Horse & Ox faced Cherubim (170-1520 A.D.) - When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword. Revelation 6:3-4

During the years 170-1520 A.D. when the Red Horse was released by Satan, God, through the Holy Spirit, released the Ox attributes of the martyrs who preached the Word of God and were willing to die for its truth. This was a time of great persecution. In 1520 A.D, we begin to see the Holy Spirit raising up reformers like Martin Luther and the Wesley’s in unveiling the 3rd seal.

3rd Seal - Black Horse & Man faced Cherubim (1520-1906 A.D.) - When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!” Revelation 6:5-6

During the years 1520-1906 A.D when the Black Horse was released by Satan, God, through the Holy Spirit, released the attributes of reformers through men who tasted the good Word of God and preached the Word of God with great boldness. Justification by Faith and Sanctification began to take root again as truth and the Holy Spirit began the restoration of the Word of God as the Will of God. In 1876, John Alexander Dowie began to preach the truths of healing based upon Acts 10:38 and great demonstrations of the power of God prevailed, which led to the 4th seal in releasing the eagle in response to the Pale Horse.

The Fallen Cherub – Exposed Charles E. Hamilton

Pale Horse & Eagle faced Cherubim (1906-Present A.D.) - When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth. Revelation 6:7-8

During the years 1906-Present A.D when the Pale Horse was released by Satan, there was death through World War 1 and World War 2; wars and rumors of wars prevailed. But God, through the Holy Spirit, released the attributes of the Eagle as men and women were awakened to the Power of the Holy Spirit, the fruit of the Spirit and the Power of God. Since 1977, there have been more books and messages preached on the Kingdom of God than when it was first preached in the first century Church. God is raising up Apostles and Prophets again and releasing the end time revelatory anointing that brings divine intelligence, crushing the head of the enemy through the true Church in our day.

The Four Gospels & Four Cherubim.

Frances Rolleston in her book Mazzaroth spoke about what the four faces of the Cherubim mean. She said, "To whom should these "cherubim of glory" refer, but to the Lord of glory! What do they declare, but that "He that cometh, will come," -the sacrifice and the sovereign! The Promised Seed of the woman can be seen in the face of the Man. By the rite of sacrifice, the face of the bull. The coming sovereign of Heaven and earth, seen in the Lion and the eagle.

Now, let’s gain further insight into the four faces of the Cherubim through the four Gospels.

Of the four Gospels, Matthew reveals truth about Jesus as the King, which is represented by the Lion. Mark reveals truth about Jesus as a servant, represented by the calf or the ox. Luke reveals truth about Jesus as the Son of Man, which is represented by a Man. And you guessed it - John reveals Jesus as the Prophet, which is represented by the Eagle.

The Fallen Cherub – Exposed Charles E. Hamilton

Like the four Cherubim or the four faces of the Cherubim, the eternal purpose of the four Gospels is to be a testimony and revelation of Jesus Christ as, a King (of Glory), as an Ox (A Servant), as a Man (Son of Man), and as an Eagle (The Prophet).

Are you noticing a similarity between the four Gospels and the four living creatures?

The four Gospels are a testimony and revelation of Jesus Christ just like the four living Creatures are a testimony and revelation of Jesus Christ. The four living creatures, the Cherubim, testify and reveal the Man and the voice from the throne. (see Ezekiel 1:28)

Look in Ezekiel 1:26-28,

Now above the expanse that was over their heads [Cherubim] there was something resembling a throne, like lapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a man. Then I noticed from the appearance of His loins and upward something like glowing metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him. As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking. Ezekiel 1:26-28

Here in Ezekiel 1:26-28 we see above the Cherubim the very throne of God and upon it the “figure with the appearance of a man.” Here we’re not looking at the copy that Moses made, but the Cherubim themselves and Lord Himself seated high above the Cherubim in all His Glory.

Lucifer - Fallen

Now that we’ve seen the heavenly creatures and understand in part what they’re created for, let’s look at the fallen creature – Lucifer.

The Fallen Cherub – Exposed Charles E. Hamilton

Look in Ezekiel, 28:11-19. Even though this lamentation is against the earthly king of Tyre, it’s evident by the context of Scripture that the “god of this world” is the spiritual force behind the king which the God of Heaven is addressing here. In other words, God is speaking to the fallen Cherub operating through the earthly king.

Ezekiel 28:11-19 Again the word of the LORD came to me saying, “Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “You had the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. “You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The ruby, the topaz and the diamond; The beryl, the onyx and the jasper; The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald; And the gold, the workmanship of your settings and sockets, was in you. On the day that you were created They were prepared. “You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire. “You were blameless in your ways From the day you were created Until unrighteousness was found in you. “By the abundance of your trade You were internally filled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire. “Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor.

The Fallen Cherub – Exposed Charles E. Hamilton I cast you to the ground; I put you before kings, That they may see you. “By the multitude of your iniquities, In the unrighteousness of your trade You profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought fire from the midst of you; It has consumed you, And I have turned you to ashes on the earth In the eyes of all who see you. “All who know you among the peoples Are appalled at you; You have become terrified And you will cease to be forever.”’

Look at these descriptions, “You were in Eden, the garden of God.” “You were the anointed cherub who covers, and I placed you there.” “You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire.” “And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.”

These words cannot be used to describe an earthly being, a human being. But they do describe an anointed Cherub whom God placed in a powerful position of authority and responsibility in the heavenly realms. These words describe a Cherub who, because of pride, committed iniquity and was forced out of that powerful position of authority and responsibility.

Deeper Understanding

Just as a foundational truth, we need to understand that “all things were created BY GOD and FOR GOD.

Look in Colossians 1:16,

For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-- all things have been created through Him and for Him. Colossians 1:16

The Fallen Cherub – Exposed Charles E. Hamilton The confirmation of this truth is found in John 1:3,

All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. John 1:3

Now that we’ve established that God created these creatures, let’s examine their eternal purpose.

Let’s do a word study on cherub and cherubims.

The words used in Ezekiel 28:14 and Ezekiel 28:16 for cherub, H3742 is in the singular. One single creature is called a cherub. However, if there are more than one cherub, then the Bible uses the word cherubims H3742 for plural.

It’s very important to God how He is represented on earth as it is in Heaven. We see this truth when God commissioned the man Moses to make certain that everything he built would be “according to the heavenly pattern.”

Look in Hebrews 8:5 where Paul is talking about how the Ark and the Tabernacle of Moses were a copy and shadow of the heavenly things they represented.

The Apostle Paul said, “They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, ‘See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.’” Hebrews 8:5

God was very specific to the man Moses to, “make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.”

Scripture tells us in 2 Chronicles 5:8 that there were cherubims which spread forth their wings over the place of the ark and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves.

The Fallen Cherub – Exposed Charles E. Hamilton Look in 2 Chronicles 5:8,

For the cherubims H3742 spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims H3742 covered the ark and the staves thereof above. 2 Chronicles 5:8

Let’s look at another example from Psalm 99:1,

The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; H3742 let the earth be moved. Psalm 99:1

God is the One who sits between the cherubims.

Now, let’s look in Ezekiel 10:1 to see the identity of the creatures.

Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims H3742 there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne. Ezekiel 10:1

Here in Ezekiel 10:1 the prophet begins to identify the four creatures as cherebims. How? Because the throne and the One seated on the throne is seen in appearance above their heads.

Now, watch what happens in Ezekiel 10:4,

Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, H3742 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. Ezekiel 10:4

See the relationship between with the LORD of Glory and the cherub? Wherever the Glory of the LORD is, there you will find the cherubim.

Why? Because in the tabernacle of Moses, the LORD of Glory sat between the cherubim.

In Ezekiel 10, we are looking at the real and not an earthly copy, the LORD of Glory is seen above the cherubim - On earth as it is in Heaven.

Look in Ezekiel 10:5,

The Fallen Cherub – Exposed Charles E. Hamilton

And the sound of the cherubims' H3742 wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh. Ezekiel 10:5

Wherever Almighty God is, there will be the cherubim – the four creatures.

Since we’ve established that the four creatures in Ezekiel and the four living creatures in Revelation are cherubim, let us look at Lucifer who the Bible says WAS “the anointed cherub.”

Look in Ezekiel 28:14 which speaks of Lucifer,

“You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there. Ezekiel 28:14

Lucifer – His Origin

In the Hebrew, the name Lucifer is translated from the Hebrew word "helel," which means brightness. This reference to Lucifer is the rendering of "morning star" or "star of the morning" or "bright star" which is presented in Isaiah 14.

"How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit on the mount of assembly on the heights of Zaphon; I will ascend to the tops of the clouds, I will make myself like the Most High’" (Isaiah 14:12-14).

The context of the Scriptures in Isaiah refers to the king of Babylon as presented in his pride, splendor and fall. However, it’s to the spiritual power behind the evil Babylonian king that these words are actually addressed.

No mortal king would claim that his throne was above that of God Almighty or that he was like the Most High. The evil power behind the Babylonian king is none other than Lucifer himself, Son of the Morning.

The Fallen Cherub – Exposed Charles E. Hamilton Lucifer – History

Lucifer is another name for Satan, who is “the god of this world.” Satan is the real, invisible power behind the successive rulers of Tyre, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, and all of those evil rulers that we have seen come and go throughout the history of the world.

This Scripture in Isaiah fourteen goes beyond human history, marking the beginning of sin in the universe at the fall of Lucifer before the creation of mankind.

We see this in Ezekiel: "Moreover the word of the LORD came to me: Mortal, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord GOD: You were the signet of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, carnelian, chrysolite, and moonstone, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald; and worked in gold were your settings and your engravings. On the day that you were created they were prepared. With an anointed cherub as guardian I placed you; you were on the holy mountain of God; you walked among the stones of fire. You were blameless in your ways from the day that you were created, until iniquity was found in you. In the abundance of your trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned; so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God, and the guardian cherub drove you out from among the stones of fire. Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes on you. By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade, you profaned your sanctuaries. So I brought out fire from within you; it consumed you, and I turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all who saw you. All who know you among the peoples are appalled at you; you have come to a dreadful end and shall be no more forever" (Ezekiel 28:11-19).

At mentioned previously, these Scriptures appear to be addressing the "king of Tyre." However, in reality, it goes beyond this earthly king to the one who’s behind the evil king of Tyre - Lucifer.

The Fallen Cherub – Exposed Charles E. Hamilton This Scripture has near and far prophetic implications regarding Satan because although his final end is certain, it hasn’t happened yet until it occurs after the final judgment of Revelation 20:7-10.

In Isaiah and in Ezekiel, the representation is not of Satan as confined to his own person but his working behind the scenes to implement his evil plans through earthly kings and rulers who themselves rule in the natural under the spiritual authority of Satan. "For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places" (See Ephesians 6:12)

Notice the statement that’s given in the passage of Ezekiel, "the anointed cherub." These statements could never apply to a human king, but they do apply to Satan, who’s behind the human king.

In verse Ezekiel 28:14 it says, "You were the anointed Cherub." This tells us we’re not talking about a human king. The word cherub is singular for cherubim. The cherubim are symbolic of God's Holy presence and His unapproachable light and majesty. Cherubim occupy a unique position. The "anointed cherub who covers" is the picture given to us in the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve had been sent out and God placed cherubim to guard the way of the tree of life. Remember, when Moses made the mercy seat and placed it into the tabernacle's Holy of Holies, God's Glory came and dwelt between the cherubim. The cherubim "covered" the mercy seat with their wings.

So we now see that Lucifer was a cherub and his position was to guard the throne of God; to reflect the Glory of God and to represent the One on the Throne. Lucifer had one of the highest of all positions, a position which he lost through sin. We see in Ezekiel a creature, perfect in wisdom, beautiful beyond description, a musician who was given a high, exalted position. But this creature, with all of these wonderful attributes, also had free will to choose to shipwreck God’s eternal purpose.

Story of Lucifer – His Status

What kind of iniquity was found of Lucifer? In the book of Ezekiel, God allows us see through the prophet the origin and the creation of Lucifer.

The Fallen Cherub – Exposed Charles E. Hamilton But, in Isaiah 14:12 we see Lucifer lifted up in pride. "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit on the mount of assembly on the heights of Zaphon; I will ascend to the tops of the clouds, I will make myself like the Most High."

Do you notice in these verses all of the "I wills." Lucifer said he would exalt his throne above the stars of God. The word "stars" here does not refer to what we see in the night sky. It refers to the angels of God. In other words, "I will take over heaven, I will be God." That was Lucifer sin and that is the iniquity that was found in him. He chose to no longer want to reflect God’s Glory - he wanted the Glory for himself. In other words, Lucifer no longer wanted to do what he was created to do which was to represent and glorify God who sat upon the throne; Lucifer wanted the throne. Lucifer wanted to be worshipped and there are millions today who have chosen to do just that; worship him.

Beloved, just because Satan can come as an angel of light does not mean he is an angel, it just means he is familiar with light. Being familiar with light is far different then being an angel that brings light from the LORD.

The Fallen Cherub – Exposed

When you do an internet search on the word “Cherub”, you will mostly find a small little angel of love called cupid. This is Lucifer hiding his true identity. From the Catholic Church to Valentine’s Day, men and women have embraced this imagery. “The god of this world has blinded the minds of those who believe not.” (See 2 Corinthians 4:4)

The Man Of Sin - The Son of Perdition

Cherubim were made to reflect and glorify the One on the throne. Since Lucifer can no longer reflect the LORD of Glory, he must find a man whom he can rule through. From Nimrod to Hitler, Satan has had no shortages of men who have sold out to worship and serve Satan.

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. 2 Thessalonians 2:3

The Fallen Cherub – Exposed Charles E. Hamilton Satan will raise up a man whom he will rule through in these last days. That man is alive at this time and awaiting his revelation. However, just because he is not revealed yet does not mean that he is not actively working behind the scene preparing the way of Satan.

Look in Revelation 13:1-18,

The Beast from the Sea (Anti-Christ, Man of Sin)

And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority. I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; they worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him?” There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him. And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven. It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain. If anyone has an ear, let him hear. If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone kills with the sword, with the sword he must be killed. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints.

The Beast from the Earth – (False Prophet)

Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down

The Fallen Cherub – Exposed Charles E. Hamilton out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six. Revelation 13:1-18

After the Dragon (Lucifer) is cast out of Heaven (Rev. 12:7), he will be earthbound - no longer able to rule and reign from the second heaven. It is a Kingdom principle that when evil is displaced, the Kingdom of God must take its place. Saints of God will rule and reign on the earth as it is in Heaven.

In Revelation 13 we see the Dragon (earthbound) standing upon the seashore. But then, coming up from the sea (of humanity) the beast in order for the Dragon to form his anti-Christ government and place the man of sin, himself - the devil incarnate, into the position to rule his anti- Christ government for a short season. This is why the Cherub (Lucifer) needs to have a man on the throne, to rule in and through. The false Church will look much like the modern day Church with the exception that they do not have the real Jesus Christ, they will preach another Jesus; the false Christ. They will have glory, but it will not be from the King of Glory.

This anti-Christ system will be economic, political and religious – but behind the man on the throne will be the fallen Cherub who wants to be like the Most High.

The true Church will be on the earth until the end of the Harvest in order to arise and shine. (See Isaiah 60:1-5) There will be both light and darkness upon the earth until the wrath of God is poured out.

The Fallen Cherub – Exposed Charles E. Hamilton

Beloved, we are promised that we’re not appointed to the wrath of God. There will be sheep nations that stand against the anti-Christ government, and there will be goat nations on the earth that join in with the anti-Christ. There will be the true Church and the false Church (the Harlot) religion that rides upon the political and economic system of the Anti-Christ. But in the end, the light of God will crush the head of Satan and the saints will possess the Kingdom.

Having a true and vital intimate relationship with Jesus Christ is our only hope from deception in these dark days that are approaching.

Beloved, when the lights go out in the world, we must have the light, the truth and Glory of God within. We must shine as lights to a sick and dying world.

Blessed be the Name of Jesus Christ! Glory to Him Alone!

Selah
