1. This 1st verse is very, very interesting. It implies that the Antichrist does not have full control over the entire world. It says that he hears “news” from the east and north that trouble him. This news causes him to go out in “great fury” to annihilate many. My guess is that China and Russia do not want to come under his rule and they are setting up to come against him. Here is the verse:

“But news from the east and the north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many. And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and the glorious holy mountains; and yet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him.” (Daniel 11:44-45)

This verse tells us that he is going to meet his end and that no one is going to be able to help him. As you will see further down, Jesus is the one who will be putting an end to him – so this verse is showing us that this event will lead up to the battle of Armageddon.

2. In this next verse, the word Armageddon is actually used to describe the place where this battle is going to take place. Armageddon is the plain of Megiddo which forms the only pass through the mountains which enters from the North and South of Israel. It is in northern Israel and it is a natural pass from the Mediterranean Sea through the mountains and the interior of Israel.

This next verse tells us that the Euphrates River will dry up so that a pass and a way is made for the kings of the east to come against Israel and the Antichrist in this last battle. Here are the verses describing all of this:

“Then the sixth angel poured his bowel on the great river Euphrates, and its water dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are spirits of demons performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world to gather them to that great day of God Almighty … and they gathered them together to a place called in
Hebrew, Armageddon.” (Revelations 16:12-16)

Also notice that the demons that are in the Antichrist and False Prophet will be the ones that will go out and draw the rest of the nations to Armageddon for this last and final battle. The stage is now set. You have what is probably China coming in from the east, possibly Russia, Libya and Iran coming from the north and the troops from the Antichrist’s 10 nation European confederacy coming in from the east – all converging onto Armageddon to battle it out – probably to see who will rule the world.

To create an exploration that uses the RSC you need to first open a chart of the base index, e.g. S&P/ASX200 for the Australian market, or the Straits Times Index for Singapore, that you will be using for the comparison between market sectors. Once the chart is open, left click on the price plot to highlight the price information. You`ll know it`s selected when a series of small dark squares appear on the price plot. It`s important to note that each time you wish to do an exploration of this kind, you must first choose your base index.

Next, open the Explorer dialog box and select `new`. Name the Explorer the `MetaStock Guide Sector Analysis`. Then click within `Column A` and enter the following formula:

ROC(MOV((C/P),13,S),1,%)

This formula calculates the rate of change, as a percentage, in the relative strength of the sectors against the base index over a 13 week period. It may seem complex but let`s break it down into manageable parts, beginning with the inner-most brackets first:

C/P is the relative strength (or RSC component) of the tested sectors vs. the base security.

The way it`s calculated is by dividing the closing price of the sector, by `P`, where `P` is the base index that you highlighted before creating this exploration.

(MOV((C/P),13,S) calculates the moving average of the RSC over a 13 week period.

ROC(MOV((C/P),13,S),1,%)calculates the rate of change of the moving average of the RSC, in other words, the amount the sector has moved up or down as a percentage.

Looking back at MetaStock, note that you didn`t enter anything into the filter tab. This is because you only use the filter tab when you`re looking to remove certain securities from your exploration results. Since you`re not looking to exclude any sectors, but to rank all the sectors, you should leave the filter blank.

Before running this exploration you must check the time period. To do this click the `Options` button at the bottom of the `Exploration Edition` dialog box and then select the radio button marked weekly. Click `OK` twice to return to `the Explorer` dialog box.

Now you`re ready to run the exploration, so click `Explore`. The `Select Securities for MetaStock Guide Sector Analysis` dialog box will appear, and you must select the directory with your market sectors in it. This directory should be stored with your other market data and is usually one directory up from your equities folder. However this can vary, depending on who supplies your data.

When the market sectors are highlighted, click `OK`. When the exploration is complete the `Exploration Completed` dialog box will appear. Click the `Reports` button and to get a summary of the exploration. The results shown in `Column A` will give you the rate of change of the relative strength

Tip: By clicking the `Column A` heading you can arrange the results in ascending or descending order.

What Do these Results Mean?

The results of this exploration are fairly straightforward. A value greater than zero indicates that market sector is outperforming the base index. A zero indicates that the market sector is performing on par with the base index, while a negative number indicates the market sector is under-performing the base index.

Remember, a rising RSC value only indicates that the market sector is outperforming the base Index, it does not necessarily mean the sector is rising in value. Similarly, if the RSC is falling; it only indicates that that sector is under-performing the market index, the market sector may not be loosing value. Because of this, it is important to open the chart of the market sectors to analyse the trends.

This information on its own can complement your current trading. For example, you may decide to only trade securities which are in top performing sectors. Or, you could take it one step further and select the top five sectors and use the `MetaStock Guide Sector Analysis` explorer again. This time, however, you could compare individual securities against their respective sectors.

The difference between running this exploration and running the first one, is that the market index would now become the market sector chart; and the list of sectors would become the list of securities that make up the top performing sectors.

By following the same steps as before you could run five separate explorations and rank the securities against their respective sectors. The result would identify the top performing securities within the top five sectors.

The final stage in this top down analysis would be to open all the charts that have made it to the shortlist. You can whittle this list down further by eliminating those securities that aren`t in an up-trend or those that are too thinly traded. In the end you`d be left with the cream of the crop, between five and ten securities. These securities will be the best performing securities in the best performing sectors.

These securities should now be placed on your watch list. I suggest you don`t race out and buy them. Instead, wait for an appropriate trigger to enter. This could be based on candlestick patterns, and/or favourable combinations of other bullish indicators.

The RSC exploration is a great way to utilise the power within MetaStock. It can be an extremely effective tool in identifying profitable trading opportunities. The downside for this type of exploration is that it is not a complete system on its own and would need to be combined with other entry, exit and money management rules. However, you can create a solid trading system that would benefit greatly from including sector analysis.

Big ones, small ones. But not always do we follow through with them and that…hum…could be dangerous.

You see, within a lifetime our goals may change a little or dramatically, which is fine. The problem is when you have definite goals but can’t follow through with them. It’s crushing. It makes you feel miserable. As if you can’t accomplish anything properly. You start something but it stays unfinished. That’s the deception we want to stay away from. It is a bad bad habit!

Here are a few tips to start fresh!

Write your goal down. I know it’s simple but it works! On a calendar, on a notebook, perhaps put a reminder in your computer to pop up everyday. Write it anywhere where you will be able to see it and where it will make an impact to encourage action. Action is the step that will ultimately finish your goal. Tip one: write it down

Break it down. Smaller steps are easier and more achievable. It makes you feel better because you actually did part of your goal. Give yourself a pat on the shoulder! Tip two: smaller goals = achievable.

Just do it. The action that will make your story a happy story. Not being fastidious here, just realistic. That’s where most of us fail (gym membership that you never use, correspondent course that ended without you, boxes that are still unpack after 2 years of moving in ect.). This is where the bad old habit disappears; it’s when the action replaces the inertia. Tip three: Just do it.

Vegetarianism shows a respect for all of life or creation. The following quotes are from the Bible. If you believe the Bible is God’s word, then it appears that he did not have factory farming in mind:

A righteous man has a regard for the life of his beast.

Proverbs 12:10

The Lord is good to all, and his compassion is over all he has made.

Psalm 145:9

The reason I brought this up has nothing at all do with trying to convince others to become vegetarians. It appears to be another way only parts of the Bible are followed. More pick and choose religion. Christianity at its finest. Who wants to give up a good steak but cannot miss Sunday services? Hypocritical, again. It is inconvenient to not eat meat, it tastes good. Issacc Bashevis Singer said, “We are all God’s creatures…we pray to God for mercy and justice while we continue to eat the flesh of animals that are slaughtered on our account is not consistent.” Jesus spread a message of compassion, love and mercy. He said, “Blessed are the merciful.”

I honestly do not care whether other people eat meat or not. However, it does bother me when I hear how moral and righteous some Christians feel they are, and then they take the the path of least resistance. It is easier to just go with the flow and eat meat than to not eat it. I personally just decided to not have an animal killed for the sole purpose of me eating it. That choice has nothing to do with the Bible. I cook meat every night for my husband and son; that is their choice to eat it, not mine. It does not bother me at all to cook meat or that they eat it. Although, touching the dead flesh does give me the creeps.

Naturally all the events surrounding the second coming of Christ are global or universal in nature so they necessarily include the United States. That the antichrist rules America for the same short period he rules the rest of the world is covered in Revelation 13:7. How he gets this powerful and fiercely independent nation to cow to his will is probably the more interesting question to try to answer.

Some people believe that America will be forced to comply with antichrist after an invasion of our shores by a great Eurasian pact of nations. Mostly, the invasion idea stems from the vision of George Washington. In that vision it is said that Washington told this story to his aide who in turn told it to someone else just before he died at about the time of the civil war. Washington was told that three great calamities would befall the nation. Starting with the revolutionary war, following that the civil war and finally some future war where America would be invaded. My learned opinion of this vision is, “who knows?”

That America would require force to he pushed into the rule of the antichrist is easy to believe but the force in question could be of a different nature. The remaining two views of how the United States is forced into the final pact of nations are probably more tenable.

The antichrist does not act alone but he is aided by one the scripture refers to as the false prophet. Rev. 16:13. 19:20. 20:10 We know little about who this person is today, hut what is known about him is that he doesn’t come from the same region, country and perhaps even the same hemisphere as the antichrist. The antichrist rises up from out of the sea according to Rev. 13:1.

The false prophet rises up out of the land. Rev. 13:1 1-16. The antichrist rules from the revived Roman Empire or The European Union. Where the false prophet is stationed exactly is not known but some think it will be America. This of course is speculative, even though it is very possible. The false prophet will probably not be connected to any religion, but it is most likely he will be a political figure or a minister of science. What he is may he uncertain, but the influence he wields over the world is not. He is able to produce signs in the heavens and draw fire down from heaven at will. Whether he does this supernaturally through the aide of the devil or engages some star wars type pyrotechnical display is also not known.

What is known is that his antics are very successful in persuading the people on earth to give antichrist both credence and rule. Some biblical scholars have thought that he could come from America and while this is not known for sure, it gives rise to the idea that America will he assuaged to join with antichrist by his direct influence. But again, while it is very possible, it is still only conjectural at this time. A third and perhaps a far more likely scenario is that America will undergo a collapse of all of its markets and financial institutions. Following a collapse, a desperate nation may seek to join with antichrist’s emerging economic systems that will be so successful throughout much of the rest of the world at that time. Not long ago I asked some people the question, what do you think would be the most disastrous thing that could happen to America and what would change its nature significantly, an all out invasion of our shores or a complete and pervasive financial collapse? The majority answered that it obviously would be the collapse of our economy.

America is in the long stretch of the good times. We have many years between us and the dust bowl days and the stock market crash of twenty nine. World War Two is also far behind and the post war boom has become a post war glut. Any people that might decide to invade the shores of this powerful and fiercely proud nation would be in great peril. But take away what Americans really love, their affluence, money and material blessings and you could make them dance to just about any tune. This is the theorem that when applied to the question of how America joins the great evil new world order is the most believable, if not the most likely.

If the compunction to have more, drives a few to fraud, robbery and murder, then what will the lack of almost all consumer goods do to this nation? If history teaches us anything, the answer to this question is not a pretty one.

Of course, God, in His sovereignty, may choose to save anyone He wants. In the exercising of His wisdom, justice, and mercy, He certainly has the prerogative that human judges often exercise: of allowing for extenuating circumstances and the attitude of the defendant. What’s more, He can factor in the confluence of a multitude of cause-effect relationships wholly unknowable to humans. We are confident that if He makes such allowances, they will be decisions that will only serve to magnify His holiness, His grace, and His righteousness.

We are not in a position, however, to second-guess or to make reliable predictions about what He will and will not do in His role as Judge of All the Earth beyond what He has revealed to us. Biblical history yields examples when He granted pardons (2 Sam. 12:13; Ps. 32:1-5; Jonah 3:10) or overlooked shortcomings and failures (2 Chron. 30:17-20; 2 Kings 5:15-19), but it also reports that at other times, He demanded exacting obedience and punished failures to comply to the smallest detail (Lev. 10:1-7; 2 Sam. 6:6-7).

It is not for us to attempt to predict, much less to demand, what He will do or choose in specific cases. Our task is only to proclaim what He has revealed in His Word. Jesus Himself said, “No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). His apostle, Peter, restated the same principle: “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Paul adds: “In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:31).

For us to grant even hypothetical pardon to anyone who has not responded to the gospel of Jesus Christ seems tantamount to calling Jesus (and Peter and Paul) a liar. If He is truly my Lord–if He is truly yours–we cannot call Him a liar or contradict His express statements. We must, instead, obey His call to “Disciple all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you” (Matt. 28:19-20). If that makes us Christians exclusionists, so be it. If that means our stance is a stumbling block to the world, that’s all right. The cross has been a stumbling block and foolishness to an unbelieving world throughout the entire history of Christianity. Yet, to those who are being saved, “it is God’s power and God’s wisdom. For the foolisness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength” (1 Cor. 1:24-25).

Whereas it may make sense to tell stories or tales in order to teach someone a lesson or make a point to educate someone we should not tell to our to people or our children makeup stories and call them true when they are indeed fraudulent. Because then children go through life believing something that is false.

Instead we should teach the works of Moses has a fictional story and not as a parable. Someone who points this out, such as me, should not be criticized for stating facts over fiction. Most religions in the world should be terminated in order to help the human race progress.

Teaching all false tales and false history is the wrong thing to do if we wish human beings to move forward. Religions, which purport the such do so at the detriment of humans and human civilizations in future periods. The story of Moses is obviously fraudulent and does not Pass the smell test or part the Sea and therefore neither should we.

Now in the future human civilizations will indeed have technology that is able to do this, but it was not done by Moses and therefore should not be taught as if it were true. There is a little religious philosophy of reality for you today. Please consider this 2006.

Elohim said through the Biblical Prophet Malachi, “See I am sending my Messenger (Messiah) to prepare the way before me, and the Lord who you seek will suddenly come to his Temple. The Messenger of the “covenant” in whom you delight indeed he is coming.” (Malachi 3:1). The “covenant” is the contract between man and God, the second commandment carved in stone by the Lord, in which man promises to live by God’s 10 commandments and in return God promises to bless mankind for thousands of generations. God also vows to punish the people who fail to follow his 10 commandments and their children and grandchildren and great grandchildren.

The Lord said that he was sending his Messiah (Messenger) to His Temple, The Messenger of the Covenant, to refine the Bibles, to rid them of their impurities. God said that The Messiah would scrub the 2 tablets carved in stone by God, God’s stone table, off with soap and shrink and clean your Holy Bible down with fuller’s soap, back down to God’s 10 commandments. (Malachi 3:5-6). A fuller is one who shrinks and thickens wool with moisture, heat and pressure. God calls his 2 tablets a protective wall, and he called the Holy Bibles human contamination of His protective wall. God vowed to wash away the contamination by breaking down the contaminated human wall, levee, with a deluge of rain, a stormy wind and great hailstones and God vowed to kill those people within the wall – Hurricane Katrina. (Ezekiel 13:14). The Messiah is to come like a thief in the night and no one will have noticed that he was here, just as no one will notice the signs of Biblical proportions of his arrival.

God says, “Who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire and like fuller’s soap; he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the descendants of Levi, (Moses, who carved the second set of the 10 commandments on Mount Sinai), and refine them (the Jewish people), like gold and silver.” (Malachi 3:2-3). God says, “Put me, my word, my 10 commandments, to the test. See if I will not open the windows of Heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing.”) (Malachi 3:10).

Hashem through every Biblical Prophet said that when the Messiah came he would wash away the impurities placed onto God’s table, onto God’s protective wall, God’s 2 stone tablets, with large rocks of hail, (the breaking off of the Antarctic Iceberg and 30% of the Arctic Icecap and Greenland, Gigantic Icebergs, which is now happening), and a destroying tempest, and a storm of mighty overflowing waters, (The Tsunami, and Hurricane Katrina knocking down the Levee, the contaminated man made wall). (Isaiah 28:2, 7-8, 17).

The time has now come for us all to put the Word of God to the test. Hashem carved in stone the sixth commandment, “Don’t Murder.” All human beings, including Jewish people, are composed of water, earth and air. “Don’t murder” means that we must stop poisoning to death the water, earth and air that we are made of with poisonous deadly man made chemicals that now cause 1 in 3 people to die of cancer, and are the cause of global warming, which is melting the icecaps and soon will cause the sea level in the earth’s one ocean to rise by 50 feet thereby submerging most of the earth’s landmasses. The purification of the Word of God by the Messiah, if it is followed by the people of Earth will also bring everlasting Peace on Earth.

“A master of the Buddhist Canon as well as of the teaching of the Dhyana School may be likened unto the blazing sun sitting high in his meridian tower. Such a man would teach nothing but the Dharma for realizing the Essence of the Mind. And his object in coming to this world would be to vanquish the heretical sects. We can hardly classify the Dharma into ‘Sudden’ and ‘Gradual’ but some men will attain enlightenment much quicker than others. For example, this system for realizing the Essence of the Mind is above the comprehension of the ignorant. We may explain it in ten thousand ways but all those explanations may be traced back to one principle. To illuminate our gloomy tabernacle, which is stained by defilement, we should constantly set up the Light of Wisdom.

Erroneous views keep us in defilement while right views remove us from it. But when we are in a position to discard both of them, we are then absolutely pure. Bodhi is immanent in our Essence of Mind and attempt to look for it elsewhere is erroneous. Within our impure mind the pure one is to be found and once our mind is set right, we are free from three kinds of beclouding (defilement, evil karma and expiation in evil realms of existence).

If we are treading the Path of Enlightenment, we need not be worried by stumbling-blocks. Provided we keep a constant eye on our own faults, we cannot go astray from the right path. Since every species of life has its own way of salvation, they will not interfere with or be antagonistic to one another. But if we leave our own path and seek some other way of salvation, we shall not find it, and though we plod on till death overtakes us. We shall find only penitence in the end.

If you wish to find the true way, right action will lead you to it directly; but if you do not strive for Buddhahood, you will grope in the dark and never find it. He who treads the path in earnest, sees not the mistakes of the world. If we find faults with others, we ourselves are also in the wrong. When other people are in the wrong, we should ignore it, for it is wrong for us to find faults. By getting rid of the habit of fault-finding, we cut off a source of defilement.

When neither hatred nor love disturbs our mind, serenely we sleep. Those who intend to be teachers of others should themselves be skilled in the various expedients which lead others to enlightenment. When the disciple is free from all doubts, it indicates that his Essence of Mind has been found. The Kingdom of Buddha is in this world, within which enlightenment is to be sought. To seek enlightenment by separating from this world is as absurd as to search for a rabbit’s horn.

Right views are called ‘transcendental’; erroneous views are called ‘worldly’. When all views, right or erroneous, are discarded, then the essence of Bodhi appears. This stanza is for the ‘Sudden School’. It is also called the ‘Big Ship of Dharma’. Kalpa after kalpa, a man may be under delusion, but once enlightened it takes him only a moment to attain Buddhahood.”

According to Tao of Heaven, Hui Neng is the incarnation of Bodhisattva Ti-Tsang (the Deliverer from Hell). He was born in Canton and two days after he was born, two monks came to his home and said: “Your son has great affinity with Buddha; therefore we come to give him a name. Hui means in the future he will be able to use wisdom of Buddhist teachings to help the mortals; Neng means he will be able to illuminate the Dharma of the Buddha.”

Hui Neng’s father died when he was only three and his childhood was poor and difficult. When he was twenty-four, while delivering a batch of fire wood to a store, he heard a guest reciting the Diamond Sutra, he was enlightened. He asked the guest where he obtained the sutra and the guest told him from a temple in Huang Mei. The guest with generosity gave him ten ounces so that he will be able to leave for Huang Mei to pay the fifth Patriarch a visit and be his disciple. Even though he did not become a monk under the fifth Patriarch Hong Yen at that time, with his true wisdom, he was chosen to become the sixth Patriarch to carry on the lineage of Tao.

This is the Sutra of Hui Neng on Prajna (wisdom):

“In the future, if an initiate of my dharma should make a vow in company with his fellow disciples to devote his whole life without retrogression to the practice of the teaching of this ‘Sudden’ dharma, in the same spirit and dedication as that for serving Buddha, he would reach without failure the Path of Holiness. But this righteous person must be transmitted confidentially from heart to heart the instruction handed down from the past Patriarchs; and yet no attempt should be made to conceal this method of immediacy.”

The ‘Sudden’ dharma is the sudden awakening taught in Tao of Heaven as the Three Heavenly Treasures. The First Treasure is to wake up our divine soul or true self and plant the seed of enlightenment. Hui Neng also said that: “Sentient being who sows the seeds of enlightenment, in the field of causation will reap the fruit of Buddhahood.”

Author: T.A Chew

T.A Chew after going through the process of initiation of Tao in 1995 understands that there is such an awakening propagated by Hui Neng called the ’sudden’ enlightenment. By realizing the essence of Tao he can practise accordingly to purify and restore his true self. Website: http://www.white-sun.com

The Biblical passages of Isaiah 14:12-14 delve into the very thoughts which led to the downfall of Lucifer in Heaven. “How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 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: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.”

These scriptures are worthy of the most careful study. In fact, these verses prophetically reveal a present-day deception that is flooding our very churches! Would you believe many sincere bible believing christians are being subconsciously programmed by the very voice of satan? In this issue we will unveil the arrogance of Satan & the current prophetic fulfillment of the statement in Isaiah 14:13 which reads: “I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the SIDES OF THE NORTH:”

SATAN EXALTS HIMSELF & CREATES A FALSE SYSTEM:

Isaiah 14:12-14 gives the sad account of the self-exalted thoughts that led to lucifers expulsion from heaven. Here are some highlights:

1)”For thou has said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:” According to Revelation 1:20 (“These seven stars are the angels”) stars are representative of angels. SATAN WANTED TO SET UP HIS THRONE ABOVE THE ANGELS.

2) “I will sit also upon the MOUNT OF THE CONGREGATION,” In the original Hebrew language, “mount of the congregation” translates, an appointed sign or sacred season. The Sabbath is Gods appointed sign & season where he comes to tabernacle with us. During the creation week, the Sabbath was set aside as a memorial of Christ creative power demonstrated the previous six days. Thus, God made the seventh-day Holy forever. “And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:” (Gen.2:2,3) Sanctified means Holy. Those who observe the seventh-day Sabbath proclaim, “It is God’s creative power through Christ that makes my heart holy” (or sanctified)! Therefore, we must cease from our own works and the cares of this life. As the apostle states, “I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”-Galatians 2:20
THE NEW TESTAMENT SABBATH

For those who are curious about the particular day of the Sabbath, you must read a certain new testament scripture which was recorded after Christ was nailed to the cross. We all know that Christ was crucified on what we call,” Good Friday”. Well after he gave up the ghost on Friday, he laid in the grave the following day. That Saturday Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses viewed where he laid. For the Bible reads in Mark 15:47-16:1-2, “And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid. AND WHEN THE SABBATH WAS PAST, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.(Pause-The Bible is calling the day after friday the Sabbath). And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

The Sabbath is a symbol of an entire lifestyle of dependence upon God. “Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.” Ezekiel 20:12. In contrast, satan wanted to divert power from God by establishing a false sabbath!

The word, “sit”, in Isaiah 14:13 is from the Hebrew word yaw-shaw which means to establish. Therefore, the last portion of Isaiah 14:13 can be read, “I will establish a sabbath in the sides of the North”. Why the sides of the North?

SATANS NEW HIDING PLACE: WHO WOULD HAVE EVER KNOWN?

The earthly sanctuary built by Moses was a pattern of the temple in heaven where God dwells. When God instructed Moses to, “make me a sanctuary: that I may dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8), he clarified, “And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount (Exodus 25:40). It was upon the mount where God flashed images of his sanctuary through the mind of Moses. Thus, everything in the earthly sanctuary was specifically after the order of the heavenly temple. The SIDES OF THE NORTH is the location for the TABLE OF SHEWBREAD in the earthly sanctuary. The bible declares: “And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle NORTHWARD, without the vail. And he set the BREAD in order upon it before the Lord; as the Lord has commanded Moses. Thus we conclude tht the Shewbread in heaven is located on the NORTH side of God’s temple. What does the shewbread symbolize? This answer requires us to examine direct quotes from Christ himself:

“I am that BREAD OF LIFE. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I AM THE LIVING BREAD which came down from heaven: if any man eat of THIS BREAD, he shall live for ever: and THE BREAD that I will give is MY FLESH”, PAUSE- What is his flesh? “In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God.” (John 1:1) Consequently, Christ offered the spiritual advice, “THE BREAD that I will give IS MY FLESH” (John 6:51). The jews replied, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat? In reality, Christ was telling them they could only have eternal life by eating the WORD OF GOD. Satan is well aware of the power in God’s authentic Word coupled with the Holy Spirit.

SATANS HIDING PLACE EXPOSED:
It is satan’s studied aim to set up a kingdom in THE SIDES OF THE NORTH. This is where the WORD OF GOD is. This is why satan has flooded the market with watered down bibles, Amen! Perhaps, some may think it trivial to discredit the various new translations of the Bible. Do these various translations establish a false sabbath in the bible? Have you ever studied the sabbath doctrine in some of the modern translations? Allow me to be frank for the sake of truth. Next edition, we will hit the axe at the root and unveil how and why these fake translations gained popularity. Until then, God bless.
