Rapture Request

A Sincere Request to the Babylonian Talmudic Untermier/Scofield/Hassidic/Talmudic/

Pharisaic Secret "Rapture" Teachers

Not so fast Mr. Dispen-satan-alist!

Where is the corrupt Body and how did you get it to heaven?

We have sincerely prayed that the Lord Jesus, who is Christ, and the only begotten son of God the Most High, that we be the ones which will stay behind  some call it "Left Behind" and preach the Gospel to those who are also "Left Behind"  when those who would be "Secretly Raptured" before the last Trumpet call,.....are gone... mystically before the appointed time.

Revelation 10:7

7: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

and we will share in ...

Revelation 20:4-5

4: And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5: But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

 

and we know...

 

Romans 10:14-18

14: How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15: And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16: But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18: But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

and we know our rewards will be as...

Revelation 7:14-15-16-17

14: And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15: Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16: They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17: For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

And.......

Revelation 20:6

6: Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

And before you depart I sincerely ask, that you tell the Untermier/Scofield god, I wanted to know why these Humans did not get taken with your useless pious self righteous in need of nothing need of seed greed creed selves

of the Year of Our Lord ______________

 

We the undersigned, of ___________________________________

Ministry declare our intention of surrender of all properties under our direct ownership, which is fully exempt from Federal Taxation, to the ministry of

Jesus and Company, aka: saints, in the event of the imminent return of Jesus Christ, otherwise known as the secret "Rapture" of the Bride of Christ or, Body of Christ prior to what is known by Judeo-Christians as the Great Tribulation, which is spoken of in the Holy Scriptures, of our Judeo-Christian apostate belief.

 

And that this contribution of property to include all: Real Estate, automobiles, busses, airplanes , yachts, boats, pleasure craft, gold, diamonds, silver, and all valuable gemstones, clothing, furnishings, storehouses, and, or any merchandising, or any other property which may be distributed to those of the above ministry named, which have declared that they have prayed to the Most High God to Preach the Gospel to lost sinners after our departure from this earth. That all of the above named property to be distributed among themselves and that no minister of the God the Most High, to be without. To carry on the Gospel of our Lord Jesus to the four corners of the earth.

14: How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

We understand by the word of God the Most High that we will have to sacrifice our lives, for the testimony and the witness of Jesus

 

Revelation 7:13-14

13: And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14: And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

 

Revelation 12:11

11: And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

 

The sacrifice will be a small price to pay, their flesh lives, but we know that these great ministers love the Lord Jesus, because they profess, Lord, Lord and we know that they will see that there will be many in the Great Tribulation who will need a preacher which will preach the truth as it is written, and we are confident that at this invitation, they will go and tell their congregations, to go and leave without them, for out of their love for the Lord Jesus, and they love not their lives unto the death, that they will stay behind and preach the gospel and give testimony and witness for Jesus Christ the Lord.

We will be making this offer starting soon, by e-mail, to all of those who teach this mystical "Rapture" and as the responses come in we will post them for all to see.

But.....

If they choose not to stay on earth as preachers for those who will be "Left Behind", after what they have preached, and that is that the Holy Spirit will be taken out of the world, and they feel much stronger to leave with their flocks and forsake those who God will pour out his spirit too, during this great tribulation...

We request....

Since, most of those have built tremendous empires of wealth and luxuries: Television Stations around the world, Luxury automobiles, summer and winter homes, mansions, gold and diamonds, airplanes, Merchandises, money, real estate, stocks and bonds, corporations, in short, all the wealth which this world can offer....

And....

you are all certain that Jesus is coming before the son of perdition is revealed and you will no longer need these luxuries,.....

Then

Daniel 11:32

 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

 

We request that they sign the legal document which will donate legally all of the above, to be divided unto those who stay behind and do great exploits for the Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ who is the Lord of Lords and the son of God the Most High, the saints.

We are certain, that these professed of Jesus the Lord, will obey his word and do so accordingly.

We will post all responses below

I will be in prayer with you regarding your need.  The Word of God declares,
The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. James 5:16 as you and I come into agreement we can claim the Word in Matthew 18:19.


God Bless you,
Jerry Barnard

Looks as though Jerry Barnard is going to tell every one he is staying, let's see if he will agree to get the legal documents  to donate all of their worldly possessions, for us in our worldwide ministry of Jesus and Company.

 

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to stand in agreement with you
for your
prayer needs.  Your prayer request has been given to our Prayer Department
where every request Kenneth Copeland Ministries receives is given personal
attention.


O Boy we are going to have some preachers who will teach the truth.

Your prayer request is important to us.  Our prayers are with you as He leads you.

Bob Larson Ministries

We will surely get rid of all of the demons now

Thank you for your recent e-mail. James and Betty Robison and the entire
LIFE Outreach staff are so grateful to God to hear from you. We have
received your prayer request, and one of our Prayer Partners will pray for
your specific need. In James 5:16, the Word of God says, "The effective
prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much."

Please know that we are believing with you in prayer.

We recieved your email about the "rapture" but I'm not sure what you want me to respond to.

Your letter seems to be accusing us (www.tomorrowsnewspaper.net) of teaching a pre-tribulation rapture (is that the case?) if so, then you did NOT read through the material on our site.

We DO NOT believe in ANY type of "pre-tribulational" rapture nor do we teach that. We believe that when the anti-christ comes (at the 6th trump) we will be here in God's field doing his work, then Christ comes on the 7th trump and not before (and we are not going anywhere).

If I misunderstood your email, then I stand corrected in my assumption of your intent.

For 25 years, Dr. Cherry and Linda have practiced diagnostic and preventive medicine/alternative medicine in their clinic. Frustrated with the limited number of people they could help in the clinic, they were led to expand their outreach through their ministry with weekly television, a monthly newsletter, books, and other materials. Their television program, "The Doctor and the Word," now reaches millions of homes each week, and the medical newsletter, "Pathway to Healing," goes to thousands of partners. Audiocassettes, mini-books, booklets, and brochures are available. There is a unique "pathway to healing" for each person, and Dr. Cherry and Linda want you to find yours.

Thank you so much for visiting our official website and

taking time to contact us. You are very important to us.

Since Dr. Cherry's television program reaches a potential

viewing audience of more than 80 million households weekly, it is

virtually impossible for him to personally speak to individuals

or answer individual e-mails. Because Dr. Cherry's staff is not

trained medically, they cannot give specific medical or

nutritional information. There are avenues, however, for you

to receive answers to your questions.  Dr. Cherry will answer

your questions, space permitting, in his monthly partner

newsletter, "Dr. Cherry to Healing." In addition, he and his

wife, Linda, answer questions each week on their television

program, "The Doctor and the Word." Also, Dr. Cherry has

expanded his website www.drcherry.org and is regularly

adding new material and new subjects.

Dr. Cherry shares the same advice in his newsletter

and television programs as he gave to his clinic patients for

many years in a one-on-one setting.  He closed his clinic

in order to minister to a broader audience.

Please note this, though. Dr. Cherry has a staff that knows

how to pray and seek God on your behalf for healing. All prayer

requests are given special attention and we will pray the prayer

of agreement with you anytime you have a need.

Thank you for your understanding and may you be blessed

with divine health.

God bless you,

Dear Brother Pickle:  The Bible tells us that if we delight ourselves in the
Lord, He will give us the desires of our heart.  If your desire is to miss
the rapture of the Church in order to preach to the Christ rejectors during
the age of Grace, I believe God will grant to you the desire of your heart. 
God bless you.  Sincerely, Bonnie Wilkerson (Mother to Rich Wilkerson of
Peacemakers)

Totally avoided the request, I guess Mrs. Wilkerson speaks for the ministry and answers with an absolute no. Guess they will be taking their empire with them. Looks like we will be having a tough time going it alone without this massive empire.

Christ rejecters in the age of grace, I thought we have been in the age of grace since the crucifixion? and if not, what about the Christ rejecters now? What about the Jesus Christ rejecters?

Evangelist 1979 to present–conducts family crusades all over the world. His humorous style and power-packed speaking have been the key in seeing thousands turn to Christ. Mr. Wilkerson has extensive experience with the American family and has an unusual gift of communicating the Gospel to our troubled society

World Outreach Annual summer mission outreaches to the inner cities, war torn areas and former Communist controlled countries around the globe have been impacted with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Outreaches have been made to the countries of India, Mexico, Guatemala, Romania, Ukraine, Croatia, Malaysia, Singapore, England, Wales, Australia, and New Zealand

Didn't give up the "Raptured Empire"

______________________________________________


Saints get ready, we will have plenty of funds during the period after the "Secret Rapture"

to distribute to those in need during the terrible times ahead. Many shall be led to righteousness. I believe that after the cyber Prayer Team has agreed, Dr. Frederick Price will be staying with us who are "Left Behind".

_______________________________________

Dave Breese's Research Department Mr. Robert Zitar  / TBN Affiliate World Prophetic Ministry wrote the following...

Greeting in the Savior's name, and thank you for contacting us.

The comments in your e-mail have been read. You seem to be of the opinion that the "Rapture" is a selective experience for Christians. Some will participate in it, while others choose to stay behind in order to preach to the unsaved who are left behind. This assumption has no Biblical basis whatsoever. The Bible places no more requirements on the "Rapture" than it does on salvation: belief in the Lord Jesus Christ as the one and only way to pay our sin debt. Anyone who has been born again will participate in the "Rapture" if they are still living when that event occurs.

You emphasize your concern about the unsaved who are left behind at the Rapture. This concern, of course, is valid. But God, in his Mercy, will not leave these people without a witness during the Tribulation. Many people will be "Left Behind" who are familiar with the gospel message, but who rejected it. They will come to Chrsit, and they will lead others. They will have the aid of the vast amount of Bibles and other Christian materials that will have been "Left Behind" by believers. Additionally, many feel that the 144,000 Jews who are sealed in Revelation 7:4-8 will be witnesses, as will the two witnesses in Revelation 11:3-11, whose prophecies and other activities will be able to be seen by the entire world.

When the Holy Spirit in the form of His presence in the Church leaves at the "Rapture"  He is leaving in his role as the restrainer of evil 2 Thes 2:7-8, but as God, he is every where at all times, including on the earth during the Tribulation. As such, He will continue in His role of drawing people to Christ.

The cop out

Your Idea of Christians who plan on leaving in the "Rapture", it will take a good amount of time to ascertain the "missing" status of those who have been "Raptured". BY that time, it is likely that the Antichrist will have implemented his mark, described in Revelation13:16-18, which will be mandatory for all financial transactions. Tempting those left behind with our worldly goods would be a great disservice...., because if they obtain the mark of the beast in order to take possession of them and then use them or sell them for money, they can never have eternal life (Revelation 14:9-11

Trusting this addresses all of your concers, we are,

Yours for Bible Truth

Robert E. Zitar

WPM Research Department.

 

Mr. Vitar pointed out that many would be left with "Christian Materials" in order for those left, to be saved during this time. The oxymoron was that Mr. Zitar added, "it would be a great disservice by leaving their giant ministry properties? Say's the money will be no good during the reign of their anti-Christ, however "Christian Materials" will go unheeded?

Could it be true that they do not believe the rabble of this "Secret Rapture" no more than I do? Could it be true that they have blamed Satan on the reason they will not give their massive wealth to those who will testify and witness for the name of Jesus who is the Lord of Lords, and who will be headed for their testimony, who are washed with the Blood of the Lamb and given white robes? And who are these? Those who come out of the Great Tribulation who loved not their lives unto their deaths. Those who are not deceived by "That Other Gospel" which Paul the Apostle warned us about.

Neither will they volunteer to preach the Gospel, nor leave their massive properties do do so.

What is it exactly that they do believe?

 

My Response Letter to Mr. Zitar

11-02-2001

Robert E. Zitar

World Prophetic Ministry

P.O. Box 907 Colton, CA 92324

Dear Mr. Zitar,

I appreciate your response of my E-mail regarding the surrender of all World Prophetic Ministry Property after the mysterious "Secret Rapture". I do have to admit to you that I have not had even one ministry respond that they would indeed do so, and you have also totally dis-regarded that direct request with mis-guided explanations.

If one comes to understanding that as the Apostle Paul attempted to explain, If under the whole law, then by the law, Jesus who was and is the law would have been accepted. "Sell all that you have and follow after me". He told the young rich Jewish man who had obeyed the commandments.

The way that the Word overcame Satan was by the word, Jesus, and "As Written" The scripture is not interpreted by men. The scripture is a constant and needs no interpretation of men. If it is not a constant, then all "Denominations" will have different "doctrines"., and indeed it has become a deviated word.

So, If it is not written, as Jesus so stated, it simply does not exist. All men are Liars, there is only one truth, and that truth is the word, Jesus who is Christ.

Therefore, any who add to, all the plagues of the Book will be added unto him. The Book which was the Prophecy of Jesus, who is the spirit of all prophecy.

Only those who believe every infallible inerrant word of the gospel can see right through the dispensationalism of the other Gospel, which the Apostle Paul warned about. That gospel brought by wolves into the sheep's fold.

Now through this other Gospel those who loved not the truth have been led to believe that the Jews will be reconciled without the redeemer, (seven lost years) even though Jesus said not one stone would be left upon another, Jeremiah's prophecy.

Jesus Christ who is the gate in which is the only way to enter into the Kingdom of God the Most High. The seven lost years.

Now all of the world including the "Christian Church have joined the whore in her Harlotry, (Jerusalem). The Churches of "Christianity have ran back to embrace Judaism and the traditions of her whoredoms.

God the Father made it clear throughout the Holy Scripture that Jerusalem was the bride which he came to take unto himself, but she refused and went after another, Molech, Chiune, Baal, through the mysticism of the Talmudic oral tradition which they made the word void by the tradition of it.

That bride rejected her groom, therefore God will send down an unblemished bride, her name New Jerusalem, we are simply children of the Bride Chamber. Invited Guest. Can a groom marry his own body?

No where in scripture does it say that the 144,000 will give testimony of Jesus, only that they follow him where so ever he go. It does clearly say that the angel would preach the gospel around the world, Rev :14:6

The only place the true saints will go, is to their deaths by beheading, for the witness of Jesus. But blessed is he who waiteth and cometh to the 1335 days.

I challenge you to study your scripture and determine who the saints are.

You referred to 2:Thessalonians that God or his spirit would leave the earth. I say read it again, for it does not.

Read I ask. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work (Satan's council the Sanhedrin, scribes and Pharisees of the Oral tradition of Talmud. Who letteth them work? Only God letteth the iniquity work. When God the Most High stops letting iniquity work, then iniquity which has been concealed will be revealed, that son of perdition and will be taken out of the way. God and only God allows the spirit of iniquity to work.

The whole point is, the Bride rejected Jesus and still does, but she has made it convenient for Christians to reject the word too. So now we have a "Christian Church who have followed after the whore and even calls herself Judao-Christianity, all of the while those who have not obeyed the full law are laughing all of the way to Baal. The two cannot be reconciled. You shall either follow after the one and forsake the other, or hate the other.

You said that God would pull his spirit out, contrary to his pouring forth. You said they would get scripture by the massive amount of literature left behind, when Satan will absolutely have it destroyed, kind of an oxymoron, if I can say.

The whole world would be deceived if not for the sake of the saints, and who are they? Those who washed their robes in the Blood of the Lamb and came out of the great Tribulation and who loved not their lives unto their deaths and were beheaded for the testimony of Jesus.

Sir, please see Revelation 10:7, when the last angel sounds as was told to the Prophets.

Sir can you not see, if it is not there it simply does not exist and those who loved not the truth, will perish because they believed a lie, God gave them strong delusion.

I ask you, stop teaching those who are confused of Satan. Stop worshipping Judaism. They hate your Lord and they would have all of us who truly love the Lord hate him too. They are now preparing the world for their Moshiach and you have fallen for their deception.

If not, please don't be angry and respond badly. Just simply shrug it off, sing a heart felt song and pray.

Then consider signing over your empire, if you still believe you will be departing before the seventh angel sounds his trump after the son of perdition has stood in the Holy of Holies and declareth himself to be God as God, shewing himself to be God. No anti-Christ, but the FALSE CHRIST versed in the dark sentences of the Babylonian Talmud.

I already know that you are a scholar of exegeses. I already know that you teach the traditions of the Jews. I know you are sanctioned by the state and ordained by men. I already know that you may have become a faith based initiative. All of these things are common of the Great Deception.

I am a babe with no teachings of man, if you can accept it you may see more clearly @ www.samliquidation.com/section_16.htm

It is free and provided by God the Most High through the atoning blood of the Lamb.

www.samliquidation.com/section_16.htm

"The Beast Has Risen"

You will see that the Mark is already being accepted by the church of Judaic-Churchianity.

Grafted into the True Vine, Jesus Christ the only Son of God the Most High God

Since the early 1930s the Scofield Reference Bible has been promoted as THE source for interpreting Revelation and the end times. Almost all the current Dispensationalism theology is derived from his teaching and his Reference Bible.

Following is a transcript of a speech about Cyrus I Scofield by Rev. Nord Davis. (Most grammar and spelling errors that may occur are most likely on the part of the transcriber so forgive it's form.)

 

The Babylonian Talmudic Doctrine of demons and the sons of the synagogue of Satan, Chabad Lubavitch Pharisees of false Zion

Cyrus I. Scofield
By Rev. Nord Davis

I am going to talk about a certain man everybody knows. His name is Cyrus I. Scofield. The man who wrote the Scofield Bible. The Bible that Christian brethren read so frequently and with which they have made up their current doctrine. Which has changed the thrust of America since the middle 1800s.

This is going to be of controversial content and because it is controversial in content I will pick one of the Bibles most controversial characters to quote - the prophet Jeremiah. He preached, he warned, he exposed false preaching of his day and all to no avail. And he and his Israel people went right into captivity. The very captivity about which he had been warning. He put that blame for that tragic collapse of his civilization right where it belonged. With the ministers, who taught error. He wrote this, "behold the Prophets say to them, Ye will not see the sword. Neither see famine. But I will give you assured peace in this place. Then the lord said unto me. "Prophets prophesy lies in my name. I sent them not. Neither have I commanded them. Neither spake unto them. They prophesy unto you a false vision and divination. A thing of not, and deceit of their heart. Therefore saith the Lord concerning the Prophets that prophesy in my name and I sent them not, Yet say sword and famine shall not be in this land, by sword and famine shall these prophets be consumed."

Now that is an interesting part to start off with and we can understand that they are going to get what they deserve. But notice in the next verse. Jeremiah 14, 13-16, "and the people to whom they prophesy will be cast into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and sword and they shall have none to bury them, not their wives, nor their sons nor their daughters for I will pour wickedness upon them."

Bad enough we had bad prophets. Bad enough we had false teachers and preachers. But apparently it seems to be just as bad to sit in the congregation of these people as it is to be the preacher. I recognize that brother Jeremiah did not project a very pretty picture for his people.

Jeremiah did not blame the King, he did not accuse the court system, he did not accuse the political nor community leaders. He laid none of the national problems on the prostitutes, homosexuals, drug addicts and we are sure that Israel had those in those days also. Here is the interesting point that God gave to Jeremiah: all the sins of the land were there because of the ministers. Who when they were not called, it was because of their preaching. That wickedness not only abounded, but was permitted. The central theme of the last few messages I have given here is that you have truth and you hold a candle in your hand with a smoldering wick. You don't do much with it.

As thousands of our readers know, I have been expounding the wickedness of these preachers for about 25 years. This is going to take light and salt right where it belongs. We are going to have to know who we are, and why we are, or we're not going to save America.

I am not going to zero in on a lot of men but only one man. One of the most famous ministers of the turn of the century -- C.I. Scofield.

You will learn how he defrauded his mother in law, out her life savings. And how he was convicted of forgery. In another case, was sent off to prisons. You will learn tonight how he openly carried on with other women, and abandoned his wife and family. Never sent them a dime of support. When his wife finally divorced him he married the woman with whom he was living. All the time he was writing the now infamous notes to the Scofield reference Bible. As a Christian he was a disgrace. As a man he lacked ordinary chivalry of a gentlemen. He called himself "Dr." yet he never went to any college which could convey that degree. His life as a minister makes the recent escapades of some modern ministers pale into insignificance.

His financial support for the reference Bible came form Zionist and conspiratorial groups out of Boston Massachusetts. Chiefly known as the Secret Six . That group tied to the order of the illuminati. And some other orders some of you may know about.

Scofield was no Jeremiah. For certain he preached, but was not called. God did not send him so you know who did send him. His false doctrines have spread across this land like a plague. Like a smoke in the nostrils of our Lord like a stench. And almost every Bible book store carries copies of Scofield's reference notes. The truth about Scofield and the men who worked with him at the time play a key role of that saga of the perpetual warfare between the people of the five pointed star and the people of the six pointed star. The truth that I am talking about is one common thread throughout the remainder of the Bible.

In the forefront of this Scriptural error you will find the teachings and Bible references of C. I. Scofield. And this talk is dedicated to the exposure of this man, the doctrines he preached and taught that have now taken over fundamentalist churches across the country.

Since the advent of conspiratorial theologians such as C. I. Scofield, and some lesser known men before and after him, our brothers have never been weaned from the warm milk of the Word. They seem to be content to be coddled. As if the word had only a personal thrust. And they have arrived. Oh! do they tell you they have arrived. Taught a dozen different ways, and by as many different denominations, including the Catholics and the Mormons. The other 85 percent of the Bible is either ignored or not understood and we are left with the darkness of a purely personal Gospel. (Ignoring it's national message)

You can understand here now I am talking to you as a warrior. A man to defend our country. Why would I be interested in Scofield from just that point of view? Because to promote this conspiracy to take over the country they must universalize the Bible, and make it apply to all men. So along comes some false preachers like C. I. Scofield who begin to weave into it certain Jewish fables.

Thousands of so called Fundamentalist ministers carry or study the reference notes of the Scofield Bible. Many Protestant Bible school students uses this Bible as their reference. They use it as their source as to what the scriptures really mean, as opposed to what they really say.

What these Christian people do not tell us is that their theological hero, C. I. Scofield, deserted his first wife, Leonteen Carry Scofield and his two young daughters Abigail and Helen. They ignore the fact that he never sent them any financial support even though he became very wealthy. They never got a dime. A woman in the 1880s did not have government welfare. And good paying jobs were not usually available in those days. He treated his wife and children as though they did not exist.

According to every reference I could find about him and his background in the areas from which he came I found that he was in love with 2 other women. Running with both at the same time. A young lady from the St Louis Flower Mission, whose name I have not yet been able to discover, and a Helen Van Wark a woman he later married. After his wife, stayed abandoned for many years, she would not divorce him for Scriptural reasons. Finally, when she found out about his activities, she had no choice and divorced him. A copy of the divorce papers are in my files.

Finally Leonteen did sue for divorce, and that divorce is recorded Dec. 8 1883, in his home town Atchison Kansas. Remember now, this is a professing Christian, who wrote the most popular set of Bible reference notes in use today. The abandoned Leonteen never remarried, and died in 1936. She is buried in Mt. Calvary cemetery, Atchison Kansas.

You know, every time you see a Scofield Bible, think about that lady. As a Christian Mr. Scofield entered the legal and political career. After he was alleged to be saved he stole thousands of dollars from his Christian and secular friends. One of his financial scams was quite serious and he got convicted of forgery, and spent 6 months in the St. Louis Missouri jail. He defrauded his mother in law of 1,300 dollars in gold, and never paid her back even though his finances were such he could have done so.

If Ezekiel ever preached about a modern prophet who created a widow, or who was a deceiver of the elect, devouring the souls so they might not be admitted to the Kingdom of Heaven and the tree of life or who was out for dishonest gain, it had to be Cyrus Ingersall Scofield. Why are you carrying a Scofield Bible my friend? Why do you attend a church that teaches the lies of this convicted criminal and fornicator? Why would you want to admit your ignorance in such a way hereafter?

By 1800 Harvard college had a Unitarian theology department which was the first chair in the United States for this "God Loves Every man" doctrine. This first happened at Harvard as chance would have it, the first theology college in the United States. The central idea is of course that God loves every man. All men are equal. There are no chosen people.

Up to this time the great Puritan Christian work ethic had made America great. The doctrines of Calvin and Luther which formed and forged the pilgrim and puritan doctrines, and those men who came over here as covenanters built up a great land they called the Kingdom. But the land they called the wilderness, was now beginning to fade. It was now beginning to be replaced by a "New Gospel" not taught by Jesus Christ and the political and social life began to change right along with it.

America's political and social life, whether we like it or not, is based upon the general theology and therefore the moral outcome of their people. When the theology is gone the politics soon follow. During this period from around 1800 to 1850, there was a movement called the "Age of Reason". It caught a lot of men who were otherwise smart. Including Thomas Paine. It contains a lot of the same ideas as todays new age movement.

Here is the general theme of it. The mind is everything. The absolutes of the Bible considered not relevant in this modern age. During this time such men as Thomas Paine, and a Kin of mine Ralph Waldo Emerson, up new England way, and Henry David Thoreau abandoned the Christian ideas and opted for this intellectual stimulating philosophy which can be distilled down to the phrase "The Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.". You have to determine in your mind from the Scriptures if God is the father of all and all men are brothers or if God is the father of certain people and not the father of others.

All across this land fraternal lodges and various kinds of orders were set up which became the religion of the people. Into that area came the Esau-Edomite Karl Marx, and the evolutionist Charles Darwin, inserting their anti-Scriptural ideas into Americas mainstream. All of these were first political, and philosophical ideas, which when promoted through the published materials of the day became promoted enough and accepted enough by the normal people of those days to change the theology, the thought theology of our people.

The fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man is a socialist scheme. It came out of the French Revolution. It came out of the same group that gave us the Statue of Liberty. That world government lady standing on an isle rising out of the Sea. With seven horns on her head. Oh! I'm hurting your feelings. How do you think that got there? It stands for the legislative democracy of Washington D. C. and old Uncle Sam stands for the republic of the 50 states.

It was a thought theology with the purpose of changing our Christian population before the greater conspiracy of world socialism could be implemented. In order to refute Christ's words concerning Esau-Edom and Jewry, that they were of their father the devil, this theology had to be changed so that God is the father of all men and all peoples and Satan is not the father of any of them. Do you see how all that works? The second part of this theology is the idea that all men are brothers which is intended to refute the Scriptural teaching and truth that all men are not brothers. And that God has a chosen people, above all the people, on the face of the earth. This dichotomy you are going to have to sort out in your mind and choose God's Word or man's.

If you think about it the concept of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man is the central theme of socialism and communism. Christianity if you think of it apart from merely a church function, is a thought theology of government, commerce and economics. The fruits of which is a nation of liberty. and individual responsibility.

So about a hundred and fifty years ago in Massachusetts, especially the small town around Boston, began to be a spawning ground of this brotherhood of man, Fatherhood of God idea. It even got so popular it was expressed in Lincoln's' Gettysburg address. It was so important in the minds of these conspirators that every public school child, had to be able recite that quote, "all men are created equal." Isn't that interesting? Isn't it loving? Isn't that a great humanist idea? Without apology that is not a scriptural idea. Anyone with an ounce of Scriptural undersatnding knows it just isn't so.

Out of this Massachusetts society came a man born in Middleton in 1833 named John J. Ingalls. He was a graduate of Williams College. Then well endowed with Esau and his clan, he became a lawyer. He was a spokesman for a Boston Group known as the "Secret Six". Isn't it interesting they picked six? Mr. Ingalls was sent to Atchison Kansas, and it is enough to say right here that he associated himself with a young lawyer Cyrus I Scofield.

Actually Scofield never attended any college even for one day as a student. Scofield however fancied himself as a lawyer. He assumed all sorts of phony credentials. From that of a minister to that of a Bible scholar, to that of a lawyer, Nothing seemed to hinder him. And of course he was not admitted to the bar as he could not pass the examination. However through the influences of the Secret Six men in Kansas Scofield was admitted to the Bar. Thought he had never attended any school, and with no formal training whatever, he gave himself a theological doctorate degree, in the same way.

Scofield, went on with the help of the Secret Six, to be appointed United States Attorney for Kansas, only to be forced to resign after six months when he and his friend Ingalls were caught trying to blackmail the railroads out of some money. What is important here is that the Boston Secret Six, assigned C. I. Scofield, the task of translating the fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man concept into a system of Bible teaching.

It was in those long days and nights when he was in prison for forgery that Scofield began studying the theological philosophy of a born loser named J. N. Darby, J. N. Darby was a scatterbrained Englishman, we would call a hippie today. He never washed, never cleaned himself up, but he became a great scholar.

J.N.Darby was already doing in England what the Secret six had assigned Scofield to do in the United States. He brought the Brotherhood of man and Fatherhood of God into a new denomination -- the Brethren movement.

The Secret six were not stupid. They had done their homework. They reasoned quite correctly, that America could not be converted from a republic to international Socialist Democracy until the vast majority of American churches could be taught that the church is not militant regarding the affairs of state. And that Gods Laws, Statutes and Judgments were not valid as a means of governing a nation. This didn't begin yesterday. They have been after this for a hundred years. It was necessary to subvert the first amendment of the constitution that the church was to offer no suggestion and be silent regarding the affairs of state. The effect of that was vital to every Christian in his way of life. It was quite a project for Mr. Scofield, since God thought so much of righteous government that he devoted 80 percent or more of Holy Writ to that subject. And made government one of the Holy Spirits special gifts.

People ask me. Do you have the gift of the Holy Spirit? And I suppose they mean that gift of speaking in tongues. No, I got the first gift skipped the second, got the third, fourth, fifth and sixth, What gifts do you have? Two for sure: the gift of government and gifts of health. Do you know the gift of government and gift of health are the only two Paul applied to every man? Does every man preach? No. Does every man evangelize? No. He didn't say that about Government and health. Because every man who is a Christian is supposed to do both. Look it up some time you will find it interesting.

Now with the Secret Six, Scofield, and some of his associates, such as Dwight L. Moody, things were going to change. On July 23, 1901, Scofield confided in his friends the he intended to develop a reference Bible that would bring about "this new beginning and new testimony". Of course such tremendous efforts takes a lot of money, and a lot of time. Scofield had the time and he needed the money. While he was talking like a Christian out of one side of his mouth he was taking money and doing the bidding of his socialist communist friends of the secret six.

In 1901 the alleged offers of the Scofield reference notes which were not entirely written by him was admitted to the Lotus club in New York much to the embarrassment of his holier than thou Christian friends. It was restricted to "a social intercourse between journalists, artists, musicians, friends of literature, science, fine arts etc.". Scofield was at this time no more than a Kansas con man. With no background in these particular fields, and a man with some highly placed friends. His reference notes had not been written yet. Much less published. So his qualifications for entrance into this group was of particular interest. Here it is. This clubs literature committee which passed on "Dr. Scofield" was no other than Samuel Untermeier - who was at that time the notorious criminal lawyer. Untermeier was, as his name suggests, one of those kinfolk of Esau-edom and his accomplishments on behalf of the Socialist communists in America takes up two columns in Whose Who in America. Untermeier thought theology as one might suppose would be far removed from that of a fundamental Bible believer.

No, my friend Scofield was no such believer. It was directed by the Secret Six. to the Lotus club and their associate Samuel Untermeier, who saw to it he was admitted without credentials. Scofield was just a casual member they say, but listed it as his residence for 20 years while his wife languished in Kansas without any support.

The purpose of Samuel Untermeier, and those associated with him was to find a way to get fundamental Christians to have an interest in and support for the international Zionist cause. Which had been one of Untermeiers life long projects. Samuel Untermeier died in 1941 but records I have in my office proves beyond a shadow of a doubt he was a dedicated communist all the time. They prove he worked for communist causes all of his adult life. In the 20 years of membership in the Lotus club Scofield had a long association with him. And had to know about his un American activities and his synagogue of Satan.

Each of you need to always keep in mind the Brotherhood of God, the Brethren Movement, and its kindred of thought theology of Scofield Dispensationalism, was and still is, a class movement as thought of from the communist point of view. Not a religious movement as you might think.

One of the Roman Catholic counterparts also supported by the Esau-Edomite kindred, is the Jesuit and Maryknoll liberation theology now sweeping Central America. So when I talk about Oliver North and his hard core Jesuit background and hard core Zionist background where he speaks at Zionist meetings where only the flag of Israel flies, and flag of Israel is on every table, and he stands there and salutes Israel before the cameras, I can say without any hesitation he's not one of ours. At this point in his life.

This is the very reason for the special and unusual association between Scofield and Samuel Untermeier. They knew that Scofield's "any moment now" rapture doctrine, which he stole from J. N. Darby, and Darby stole it from a female Pentecostal preacher in Scotland, named Martha Mcdonald, who in turn stole it from a Spanish Jesuit Priest Emanuel LaContsa who made it up and then published it first in Spanish under the pen name Rabbi Ben Ezra. The works of Rabbi Ben Ezra are still sold openly in Christian book stores. So you can see it all ties together.

This was an idea they had to keep the lower and middle class Christians in line, they said. Why would Christians become concerned if the communists took over the world. Or the so-called New World Order took effect? If they believed the rapture could happen at any time now? Why would they become worried with thousands of problems of the totalitarianism socialism, world banking, national debt, aids, if "this world is not my home", of C. I. Scofield's doctrines. Why do patriotic activities when the kingdom is a warm beating in your heart as you come to love Jesus. See how that works? Proverbs 3:36 says "Add thou not to his words lest he reprove you and you be found a liar." Well Mr. Scofield you have been found a liar. Some of us have done homework on you.

With the many ministers of the 1920 and 1930s around preaching Scofield's Dispensationalism -- in his words, the "new testimony," became common but was not heard of 100 years ago. The push was on in the late 1930s to get the Scofield reference Bible into the hands of Protestant denominations. Scofield notes stating right on the pages of King James Bible that "the Jews are all of Israel" was to set the stage for the theft of Palestine from the Palestinian people and give it by United Nations decree to a mixed multitude most of whose forbearers never set foot in the land for a thousand years, if ever. For those reasons alone, Scofield's notes were worth every penny That Samuel Untermeier and his Secret Six friends paid for them.

It is not so much that Scofield preached another Gospel which I differ with that makes me so angry. He is not the only man to have done so, and students of the Bible can quickly point out their false doctrines as I have done. With "every man can be saved" Scofield doctrine I resent Scofield using God's Word as an active and willing subversive to cause the American liberty to fall. His doctrines and reference notes, prepared with Jewish funding, has neutralized the church to where they are indifferent to what is happening in America. Some of you have yet to outgrow that indifference to where you take an active stand and do something about it.

As I have written time and time again, over the past 20 years, the more Churches we get in America the more wicked and socialist the nation becomes. Scofield's "new testimony" has been the leading cause for the fall of the American civilization. It has altered the Christian and his theology to the point of indifference to what is happening in his country. He is not concerned about but generally approves of the fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man ideas promoted by thousands of hours of television entertainment and programming. He is happy to watch biracial situation comedies and movie specials promoting interracial marriages which God has forbidden.

So when you see todays state of Israel, you'll note that it is not the fulfillment of prophesy as you Scofield minister, your Jesuit priest, or your Mormon elder has taught you. That nation sets forth none of the conditions set forth in Gods word or in prophecy. That nation of Bible prophecy among all the criteria set forth in Scripture is to be Christian, and not antichrist Jewish.

What then is the prophesy about the present state of Israel and the antichrist Esau-Edom people? There are a number of them but I will end this talk, with that statement from Christ himself regarding the present nation of Israel. "For I say unto you, that not unto every one that shall have given, and from him that hath not, even that shall be taken from him. But those mine enemies, (Esau-edom) which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me." Luke 19:27-28. And even now, that prophesy is being fulfilled.

The great loss we have is that many of our Christian people will not be party to the victory that Christ's kingdom extends to us. So when you see Scofield and his Bible being carried by someone you want to ask them, "Why are you carrying the Bible of a convicted felon, thief and fornicator who left his wife behind and went off with other women? Can a wicked tree bring forth good fruit? It can not."

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ we rebuke Cyrus Ingersall Scofield in the name of our Father and Kingdom.

"The Incredible Scofield and His Book"
by Joseph M. Canfield

This powerful and fully documented study exposes the questionable background and faulty theology of the man responsible for the popular SCOFIELD REFERENCE BIBLE, which did much to promote the dispensational system. The story is disturbing in its historical account of the illusive personality canonized as a dispensational saint and calls into question the seriousness of his motives and scholarship.

Mémoires de la Société Archéologique de Montpellier, 2 (1850), 451-509, second copy located by Michel Huglo: BN lat. 1928 f.178, Fécamp c.1040).

950

"Treatise on the Antichrist" by Adso of Montier-en-Der, c.950, a response to a variety of crises at mid-century that provoked widespread apocalyptic disquiet, and rapidly become a central text in the European eschatological literature (ed. by Verhelst, CCSL, Cont. med. aeui 40; study in the context of 1000, by Verhelst, "Adso van Montier-en-Der en de angst voor het jaar Duizend," Tijdschrift voor Geschiedenis, 90 (1977), 1-10); and C. Carozzi, La fin des temps: Terreurs et prophéties au Moyen Age (Paris: Stock, 1982), pp.186-94. See below # .

950-80:

Letter on the Hungarians that speaks of widespread apocalyptic reactions among the population, Ac primum dicendum opinionem quae innumeros tam in vestra quam in nostra regione persuasit frivolam esse et nihil veri in se habere, qua putatur Deo odibilis gens Hungrorum esse Gog et Magog ceteraeque gentes quae cum eis describuntur... Dicunt enim nunc esse novissimum saeculi tempus finemque imminere mundi, et idcirco Gog et Magog esse Hungros, qui numquam antea auditi sunt, sed modo, in novissimo temporum apparuerunt. R.B.C. Huygens, "Un témoin" [n.11], p.231, lines 94-106; letter from the bishop of Auxerre to the bishop of Verdun (commentary by Huygens, p.236f). Dated variously early tenth century, or, according to Huygens, to second half of the tenth ("Un témoin de la crainte de l'an 1000: La lettre sur les Hongrois," Latomus, 15 (1956), 224-38); considered the background of Adso's treatise (see below #3).

950

In A.D. 950 Adso of Montier-en-Der wrote a "Treatise on the Antichrist" which was a response to a number of mid-century crises that had provoked widespread alarm and fear of an end-time apocalypse.(5) Five years later, Abbo of Fleury heard a preacher in Paris who announced that the Antichrist would be unleashed in the year 1000 and that the Last Judgment would soon follow.(6) At about the same time a panic occurred in the German army of Emperor Otto I because of a solar eclipse that the soldiers mistook as a sign of the end of the world.(7) And when the last Carolingian dynasty fell with the death of King Louis V in 987, many saw this event as a precursor to the arrival of the Antichrist. King Otto II of Germany had Charlemagne's body exhumed on Pentecost in the year 1000 supposedly in order to forestall the apocalypse. Both Halley's comet in A.D. 989 and a super nova in A.D. 1006 were interpreted as signs of the end. About the same time, the Moslem caliph, Al Hakim, destroyed the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem prompting apocalyptic fear in the west as well as violent anti-Jewish outbursts.(8)

965:

Abbo hears a preacher in Paris announcing the unleashing of Antichrist for 1000 AD and the Last Judgment for shortly thereafter (see below # 7, 17).

968:

Panic in Otto's army at an eclipse the soldiers took to portend the end of the world (Gesta episcoporum Leodensium, MGH SS IX, p.202)

968-9:

Annalists note in the margin of Easter tables: mille anni a nativitate Christi, based on a "misreading" of the base year in the Easter Tables as Anno passionis. Three years earlier unusual events with apocalyptic tonality (fire from heaven, release of demons) occur. (Annales de Saint Florent de Saumur, et de Vendôme, Halphen Recueil d'annales angevines, p.58 n.2, 116 n.6.) Note that, in typical capstone style, Halphen does not include the note, with its millennial consciousness in the text of his edition, nor even in a footnote to that year, but appended to a footnote for another year, and explained away as a mistake.

969 and/or 980:

widespread apocalyptic expectation in Lotharingia at the coincidence of the Annunciation and the Crucifixion agaist which Abbo writes a letter.

979:

Igneae acies visae sunt in caelo per totam noctem 5 Kalendas Novembris. Hoc anno complentur mille anni a nativitate Christi, secundum veritatem evangelii, qui secundum cyclum Dionisii anno abhinc 21 finiuntur; sicque in anno domincae passionis veritati evangelicae contraitur. Sigebert of Gembloux, Chronicon universale c.1114, PL 160 c.194 (here using Abbo's correction of the date AD; see next item).

983-4:

Abbo redates the year 1000 four years into the past (true AD 1000 = Dionysus' 979) using the apocalyptic beliefs above (#7, see also #17) as the basis of his calculations.

987-91:

The last Carolingian dynasty (the final hindrance to the arrival of Antichrist according to Adso) falls; the capture of the last potential ruler occurs under most dastardly cirumstances. Southern charters begin to date AD, with Christ reigning, a traditional interregnal formula with apocalyptic antecedants (Kantarowicz, The King's Two Bodies, p. ).

989, August:

Halley's Comet appears, cited in Annales divionenses, MGH SS V, p. ; and Annales Quedlinburgenses MGH SS III, p.68; Thietmar of Mersebourg, Chronicon IV, 10; (also Glaber III, 3? acc. to France, p.110-11, and n.4, but see below under 1006, #29); P. Moore and J. Mason, The Return of Halley's Comet (Cambridge, 1984), p.46)

989-1000:

First wave of peace councils in the South (see below).

990s:

mention of apocalyptic beliefs leading to violent seizure of church property at St. Hilaire.

990s-1010s:

Preaching of Aelfric and Wulfistan, filled with images of Last Judgment, explicity linked at points to the year 1000 and the unleashing of Antichrist (Gatch, Milton McC., Preaching and Theology in Anglo-Saxon England: Aelfric and Wulfstan (Toronto, U. Press, 1977).

992:

Coincidence of Crucifixion and Annunciation; Nouaillé begins its charters for the next decade with "Appropinquante finem mundi..."; Adso, an old man, leaves on a one-way pilgrimage to Jerusalem; German chronicles report light from north at dawn like the sun, rumor among many that 3 suns, 3 moons and stars were fighting, indicating heavy mortality and famine (Thietmar IV, 19; An. Quedl. ad an. 993, MGH SS III, 69; Annales Augustani, ibid. p.124).

994-1000:

Outbreaks of sacer ignis throughout France, associated in Limoges with the Peace of God.

994-5:

various signs (including a monstrous child), famines, plagues and mortality in Saxony, referred to as the biblical "tria iudicia pessima" (Annales Quedlinburgenses, MGH SS, III p.94; also Thietmar IV, 17; Annales Augustani, MGH SS III, 124).

994-6:

De fine quoque mundi coram populo sermonem in Ecclesia Parisiorum adolescentulus audivi, quod statim finito mille annorum numero Antichristus adveniret, et non longo post tempore universale iudicium succederet: cui praedicationi ex Evangeliis ac Apocalypsi et libro Danielis, qua potui virtute, resistiti. Denique et errorem qui de fine mundi inolevit abbas meus beatae memoriae Richardus sagaci animo propulit, post quam litteras a Lothariensibus accepit, quibus me respondere iussit; Nam fama pene totum mundum impleverat, quod, quando Annuntiatio Dominica in Parasceve contigisset absque ullo scrupulo finis saeculi esset. De initio etiam Adventus qui ante Nativitatem Domini per singulos annos agitur, aliquando error gravissimus extitit, aliis inchoantibus post v. Kalendas Decembris aliis ante, cum numquam plus quatuor ebdomadas, saltem unam diem Adventus habeat; cumque de huiusmodi diversitate soleant contempiones in Ecclesia crescere, concilio determinandum est, ut omnes qui in ea viviumus unum sapiamuis quod vestra industria CONCEDAT qui nos unanimes VULT HABERE IN DOMO SUA." Abbo of Fleury, Apologeticus ad hugonem et rodbertum reges francorum, London, BM 10972, f.22v; PL 139 c.471-2; dated before 996 by Vidier (p.105- 7); 994-5 by Mostert (p.48-51). Concerning the end of the world, as a youth (adolescentulus) I heard a sermon in a [the?] church in Paris that as soon as the number of a thousand years should come, the Antichrist would come, and not long thereafter, the Last Judgment would follow; which preaching I resisted with all my strength from the Evangels and the Apocalypse and the book of Daniel.

994-999:

Otto III engages in elaborate program of renovatio imperii romani that, from the apocalyptic scenario, would reaffirm the existence of the "barrier" to Antichrist, particulary important given the demise of the last of the Carolingians in the previous decade (see above # 3, 9). In this he recapitulated many of Charlemagne's responses to the coming of the year 6000 (see below # 14, 17).

999

"Iste fuit Girbertus, tempore cuius inpletus est annus millesimus ab incarnatione Domini." Annales Pragenses ad an. 999, MGH SS III, 120.

1000

This year goes down as one of the most pronounced states of hysteria over the return of Christ. All members of society seemed affected by the prediction that Jesus was coming back on Jan 1, 1000 AD. There really weren't any of the events required by the Bible transpiring at that time. The magical number 1000 was primarily the sole reason for the expectation. During December 999 AD, everyone was on their best behavior; worldly goods were sold and given to the poor, swarms of pilgrims headed east to meet the Lord at Jerusalem, buildings went unrepaired, crops were left unplanted, and criminals were set free from jails. The year 999 AD turned into 1000 AD and nothing happened.

1000

Otto returns to Aachen where he exumes Charlemagne's body on Pentecost of the year 1000.

1000

Gerbert/Sylvester and Otto III carry out an unusual procession on August 15, 1000: "In assumptione sancte Mariae nocte quando tabula portatur" (Bamberger manuscript from 1067 published in Giesebrecht, Geschichte der Deutchen Kaiserzeit II, Documents; also see Lausser, Gerbert, p.325; Molinier II, Mabillon II, 226, 334; Histoire littéraire XIII, 600;

1000

Outbreak of heresies in France, Italy, south-west Mediterranean that Glaber interprets as the unleashing of Satan according to Revelations (Historiarum, II, 22-23; ed. France, p.88-93).

1000

All the references, still poorly known, from computist texts that privilege the year 1000, which, coming in the middle of a 19 year cycle (988 1006) should neither begin nor end any Easter table: cf. Vat.reg.lat.1127 f.10v, from 920 to "MILLE"; St. Gall 902, 817-999; St. Gall 387, 1001-1129.

"Interea millesimus ab incarnatione Domini annus feliciter impletus est et hic est annus archiepiscopi 12." Adam of Bremen, Gesta Hammaburgensis ecclesiae pontificum (II, xl; MGH SS 7.320) late eleventh century.3

1000

"Data mense augusto, regnante Rotberto rege, anni ab Incarnatione Domni nostri Jesu Christi usque in presentem diem mille et I." (Charter of Saint- Hilaire of Poitiers, ed. Redet, #67, p.76).

1000

references to 1000 taken from Sigebert in later medieval chroniclers: see the collection in Bouquet, Historiens des Gaules de de la France, 10.xcix, 28de, 28de,197b, 205b, 217c, 271c, 282a, 290b, 291a, 299c, 319b.

1000

Five reasons why 1000AD was not a significant date:

  1. People did not even know the date -- peasants had no notion of chronological time, elites used a variety of systems and even those using AD disagreed.
  2. There are no theological reasons for 1000 to have eschatological significance.
  3. There is almost no surviving evidence of any apocalyptic terrors from the period.
  4. The little that survives is not directly related to 1000, but to dates such as 968, 1010 and 1033.
  5. Therefore we should not be surprised to find 1000 was a "year like any other" in which the normal train of medieval life -- wars, councils, ploughing, and praying -- went on in uninterrupted flow.

The utter absence of documentation attesting to apocalyptic beliefs and movements is, in this view, decisive proof. How can one possibly argue that a whole generation is obsessed with something about which they do not talk? by Richard Landes

Qua caeli fissura sensim evanescente, interim visa est figura quasi serpentis, capite quidem crescente, cum ceruleis pedibus.

1135-1202

The Calabrian monk, Joachim of Fiore (ca. A.D. 1135 1202) stands out as a key figure in medieval apocalypticism. On Easter Sunday in 1183 he was inspired to write his massive Exposition on Revelation. Later near the end of his life, he summarized his prophetic knowledge in the Book of Figures. His writings influenced a wide range of medieval events. The Franciscan order was founded on the basis that they would be the spiritual elite described in Joachim's "Age of the Spirit," a future time when God would send revelation directly to believers. Using Joachim's hints, writers concluded that the "Age of Grace" would end and the "Age of the Spirit" would begin in A.D. 1260. This prophecy, mixed with German social unrest, created a myth surrounding Frederick II. Having ruled from 1220 to 1250, many believed that Frederick was the "Emperor of the Last Days" who would usher in the new Millennium.The myth gained force when Frederick seized Jerusalem in 1229. When he died in 1250, a new myth started that Frederick would return from the dead. Two pseudo-Fredericks were burned at the stake by his successor to the throne. The Book of a Hundred Chapters stated that the returned Frederick would lead a fight against corruption in the state and the church, and that he will instruct his followers to "Go on hitting them" (referring to the Pope and his students) and to "Kill every one of them!" (Paul Boyer, When Time Shall Be No More: Prophecy Belief in Modern American Culture, Cambridge, Mass.: The Belknap Press, Harvard University, 1992, p. 53-55)

1186

The "Letter of Toledo" warned everyone to hide in the caves and mountains. The world would be destroyed and only a few would be spared.

1415

The Taborites, founded in A.D. 1415, also looked back to Joachim for their prophetic beliefs. They believed that once their persecutors were defeated, Christ would return and rule the world from Mount Tabor, a mountain they had renamed south of Prague. Their communal activities eventually turned bloody, prompted by tracts with lines like, "Accursed be the man who withholds his sword from shedding the blood of the enemies of Christ." (Paul Boyer, When Time Shall Be No More: Prophecy Belief in Modern American Culture, Cambridge, Mass.: The Belknap Press, Harvard University, 1992, p. 53-55) After a crushing defeat at the hands of the German army, the group quickly disbanded. Although all of these prophecies were misguided, it would be a mistake to doubt the sincerity of the individuals. However, the events surrounding the end of the first millennium should temper our desire to make predictions about the coming new millennium. Next, we will look at more recent predictions that have been just as wrong.

1420

The Taborites of Czechoslovakia predicted every city would be annihilated by fire. Only five mountain strongholds would be saved.

1524-1526

Muntzer, a leader of German peasants, announced that the return of Christ was near. After he and his men destroyed the high and mighty, the Lord would return. This belief led to an uneven battle with government troops where he was strategically out-numbered. Muntzer claimed to have a vision from God where the Lord promised that He would catch the cannon balls of the enemy in the sleeves of His cloak. The vision turned out to be false when Muntzer and his followers were mowed down by cannon fire.
