Why I carry a king James Bible
First I would like to answer your
question in regards to the word Easter.
WHAT WAS EASTER ORIGINALLY?
The word Easter is found one time in
the entire authorized King James Bible:
Acts 12:4 And when he (King Herod)
had apprehended him, (Peter) he put him in prison, and delivered him
to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to
bring him forth to the people.
The word “Easter” here does NOT REFER
TO Easter as we know it nor does it refer to the Passover as it is
wrongly translated in other bible versions.
Though many Christians celebrate
“Easter” in remembrance of the resurrection, Easter was originally a
pagan festival (Webster’s Dictionary Easter (e’star) n a Christian
festival celebrating Christ’s resurrection.
Word history: The word Easter,
although the name of a Christian festival, had it’s origins in Pagan
times. Eastre or eostre, the old English spelling of easter, was orig
the name of a Germanic goddess who was worshiped at a festival at the
spring equinox. Her name is closely related to Latin aurora and Greek
eos both of which mean dawn.) Which is what Acts 12:4 refers to and
not the Passover.
Lets look also at the Webster’s New
world Dictionary which gives the following etymology (origin and
development of a word) for the word “Easter”:
Originally, name of a pagan vernal
[spring time] festival ALMOST COINCIDENT in date with paschal
[Passover] festival of the church,
--Eastre, dawn goddess—Astro, dawn
In other words Easter was originally a
pagan festival celebrated in the springtime.
I could go into a lot more about
Easter eggs (signs of fertility) not to mention rabbits that lay eggs
but I want to get back to the answer for your question.
EASTER ONLY TRANSLATED CORRECTLY
IN THE AKJV
The word “Easter” has been incorrectly
translated “Passover” in all Bible versions except for the authorized
King James version (AKJV). How do I know this? The Bible shows it. In
the passage Acts 12: 1-4 King Herod killed James and when he saw that
it pleased the Jews, he took Peter DURING the DAYS OF UNLEAVENED BREAD
and was going to bring him forth to the people AFTER Easter.
Easter could not be Passover because
Passover occurs BEFORE the days of unleavened bread, which is when
they arrested Peter. Passover had come and gone.
Herod decided to bring Peter forth
AFTER Easter. This is the sequence:
-
PASSOVER
-
DAYS
OF UNLEAVENED BREAD
-
EASTER
Passover only comes once a year on one
day, the 14th of Abib (Num 28:16). After the Passover comes
the days of unleavened bread (Numbers 28:17) for the fifteenth through
the twentieth day of Abib. So when Peter was arrested during the days
of unleavened bread (Acts 12:3) Passover had come and gone!
The Bible says that HEROD was going to
bring him forth AFTER Easter, which had not come yet.
When the AKJV says EASTER in Acts 12:4
it is absolutely correct. When the other versions say Passover in Acts
12:4 they are incorrect. Easter in this passage is referring to the
pagan festival (remember the etymology says that the pagan Easter is
almost coincident with paschal (Passover)…
I thank you for your questions

“Spirit
Led, Or Purpose Driven?”
The
world system (or any part thereof) cannot and will not tolerate any
absolutes or its situational ethics will not rule the day. That is why
the war against Christians in the west is ramping up. Difficult times
are coming to America VERY SOON.
Those who are only purpose driven will not be able to stand the
pressure of the events that will dawn upon America. They will discover
that purpose is not enough to overcome. A person is needed for that
one he or she can safely lean on. Blessedly, some of those will crack
under the pressure and will turn to the only real place of safety IN
JESUS-the PERSON Himself.
Those who are already Spirit led will draw closer to JESUS, trusting
Him alone to see them through, or not (as He sees fit) and to use the
situations, as He sees fit, to perfect the saints.
There will be gnashing of teeth and expletives galore in those days.
To
God Be The Glory-great things He is doing with and among His people
the true Church.
God
Bless You

Watchman
Please Pray for our Nation and the Churches in America!!!
That
soothing motion you feel is Satan rocking the cradle.
I was
thinking about a song an old friend of mine wrote. The words went
something like this. “Oh! The church is fast asleep and Satan rocks the cradle”. I thought about how the Church and the world at one time
walked so far apart on the changing sands of time but now as I read
the obituaries of many bankrupt churches and ministries I wonder when
did God tell us it was OK to finance His house with a bank or lending
institution. The true missionaries are begging for support while the
interest on the loans must be paid.
I
believe there has been a move going on for some time to infiltrate the
church. While we were occupied with every type of program including
the latest and greatest manifestation of soul worship and man made
deliverance ministries and while reading the latest book about a
40-day spiritual journey and discover your purpose. NOTE (The only
hope you have of finding your self is by denying yourself and
receiving Jesus Christ and the completely finished work on the cross)
Satan began to chip away at the foundation of God’s church. He begins
to move the boundary stones set by God in His Word. He wanted a
compromised bible so he left some words out and added a few and then
cast doubts on the old KJV.
Then
Satan began to tear apart the family unit. He did this by getting us
so busy making a living in order to give our children something better
than what you and I had. We gave them toys and video games and
continues TV with X-rated commercials and yet we failed to give them
the greatest message that has ever been uttered to mankind.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life.
What
God had entrusted to us to pass on. Satan devised a plan to keep us so
busy seeking comfort, peace and false prosperity that we had no
time to seek God.
While we were doing this, the New Agers (Satan) infiltrated the school
system. He then brainwashed, manipulated, intimidated and spiritually
seduced first the teachers with secular humanism, and then the
children. It was necessary then to banish God, Bibles and prayer from
the classroom. And then to divided parents and children (parents are
old fashioned and out of step and will not understand).
The
New Age plan cautions your children not to tell their parents what
goes on in school. They are taught that sex should be experimented
with, and they gave them condoms so it will be safe. We also will tell
them that abortion and alternate lifestyles are OK, and then Satan
used the New Agers once again to throw in a little Harry Potter,
Pokemon, Star wars and witchcraft to keep our children occupied while
they brought in outcome based Education with all it’s tolerance
doctrine.
Oh yes, New
Age is a religion and they do have a doctrine. However the New Agers
have a problem. You see the bible believing born again, blood washed,
Spirit filled Christian stands in their way. These Christians have the
audacity to believe that Jesus Christ is God and created all
things--even us. Now the New Ager knows that this is not true because
he is convinced that we evolved from monkeys, and that, of course,
eliminates God out of the picture and makes mankind only accountable
to himself.
Psalms 53:1: The fool hath said in his heart, there
is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there
is none that doeth good.
They
are unable to prove evolution but they will do all they can to tell
you there is no God. This is of course the philosophy of the New World
Order and with this he is now convinced that he is in control and he
(the New Ager) is in power and will:
·
Create depressions; money panics;
·
Economical and ecological (global warming fears),
·
Food
and health crisis (flu epidemic “get your shots”)
·
Inflation; bankruptcy (even churches).
·
Disarm America, unite the world (United Nations) (New World Order)
·
Unite the Church (Ecumenical one World Church)
·
Abortions (including partial birth) taxpayer paid
·
Same
sex marriages. (It was Adam and Eve ,not Adam and Steve)
·
Employ the genius of euthanasia experts to get rid of the ill, the
aged and crippled and useless elderly. (The Supreme Court just upheld
the euthanasia law of Oregon and California is next)
Satan does read the bible and he has used scripture to try and tempt
Jesus. Please do not underestimate the enemy, but obey God. James 4:7:
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the
devil, and he will flee from you.
Satan can convincingly utter the words it is written and thanks to the
gullibility, and ignorance, and apathetic indifference and busyness of
people he thinks he we will win. So he says in such a soothing way, “Sleep
on Church just keep on sleeping.”
Folks, the
purpose of this warning is not to cause you to lose hope, but to tell
you about the only hope you have. I want to tell you personally I am
looking for the upper taker, not the undertaker. I have a promise, and
when I go out of here I want to grab a lost man in each arm and as we
go up through the clouds I will say, OK, repent or I let go. Folks I
want to be ready and I want to be in a church that is ready. If you
are not then please, read on.
Satan believes that Christians are doomed. And only the worship of
Satan, and the antichrist system, along with trees, owls, and rivers
will be tolerated and then his next move will be to require all to
receive a mark. Without it you will not be able to buy or sell.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free
and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or
in their foreheads:
17
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the
mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his
name.
18
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of
the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six
hundred threescore and six.
Revelation 13:
By
the way, Satan is the father of lies and his time is running out.
John
8:44: Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father
ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in
the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie,
he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Read the last chapter of the Bible. We win and Satan loses. He is
a loser.
Satan Rocks the Cradle
Oh
the Church is fast asleep and I wonder who’s to blame
When
we call ourselves a Christian. Do we take His name in vain?
Or
do we try to lead someone to the master’s table.
Or
just fold our hands and close our eyes.
While Satan rocks the cradle!

REFLECTING ON
OUR YEARS OF MINISTRY TOGETHER
Behold, the
LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear
heavy, that it cannot hear: —Isaiah 59:1
My late wife,
Ruby, and I have traveled the land with but one ministry, and that is
2 Corinthians 5:18. "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us
to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of
reconciliation.”
We have been in many of your churches and have shared
the Love of Christ in all His Glory, just as you have shared your love
with us. And I thank you.
Some of you have given up your own bedrooms for us, and some of you
made it possible for us to stay in motels, and for all of this I am
truly grateful.
We have seen
salvation’s, rededications and healings. We have witnessed people
being freed from secret organizations (masons) We have seen
homosexuals set free and cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ. And
what rejoicing when we know that Jesus is, was, and always will be the
only healer and deliverer, and that salvation comes in no other way but
by HIM.
Ruby and I came
to realize that we were not only evangelists, but we were in the truest
sense of the word also missionaries. We were soldiers in God’s army,
and as such we have had but one purpose and that is to represent the
only real commander in chief that has ever been, and that is our
faithful loving master Jesus Christ. Ruby’s work is completed and she
has gone on to be with the Lord, and I must continue on the road of
reaching souls until one day I join her and my Lord and Savior across
the Jordan River.
Is it possible
that we as Christians have gotten so caught up in the work of ministry
and the overwhelming needs of others that we have forgotten who sent
us? Has a program or a cause replaced the instructions John 20:21.
"Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my
Father hath sent me, even so send I you. "
We have traveled many miles and crisscrossed much of the country with
but one desire and that is to present the warning that Jesus will
return as he said, and that time is running out for the devil, and for
you also if you are not saved.
SPIRITUAL
REFUELING STOPS
As we journeyed
we tried to visit some special people along the way, wanting to be a
blessing, but very often we were the ones that got blessed. In Virginia
one of these a man in his nineties talked about how as a young man walking
twenty-five miles one way to pray for a woman who was injured in an
automobile accident and then walked back only to find out later she
was healed. I noticed the pages of his bible were worn and marked up,
and he said it was the one we had sent him a year ago. To him the word
was that important.
In Portland
Oregon there was a special ninety-five year old women who blessed us
with her command of scripture and unbending faith in a God who
promised to answer her prayers for her family. We also met her granddaughter who was a prayer warrior like her grandma. They were both
such a blessing to Ruby and me. Bryson City, NC was one of those special
visits to another saint in her nineties who encouraged us so much. Her
conversation about how great it will be when we cross over Jordan.
There is a song, “Love lifted me.” Ruby and I went away feeling that
song. North Carolina was also home of an eighty year old pastor and
his wife who gave hospitality and excitement for ministry a new
meaning. Well this has been just a few of our special stops and
blessings.
WARNING FROM
THE WATCHMAN
I am often
asked in our meetings if technology is evil? I answer that question by
saying that I never saw the antichrist in any of the circuits and
chips or devices that were developed during my time as an engineer. I
then ask the question, Who Needs The Technology? God certainly doesn’t
need it because He is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient. And that
is just for starters.
Has technology
brought about a better moral standard in our nation? Has it raised the
educational standards of our schools? Has the advent of technology
improved the home and given us more time to spend as a family
together? Has the Babylonian Idiot Box (television) improved our Home
our Church and our time alone with God?
What will you
say to God, Mr. Preacher, Mr. Pastor, Mr. Shepherd of the flock when He
asks you why you replaced the pulpit on Super Bowl Sunday with a big
screen TV and left the Bible closed? It sounds as if I am against
technology, and that is not true. There is one part of the
technological design of these devices that is very beneficial, and that
is called the off knob, or off switch, and I do suggest you start using
it and get back into the word of God, because time is running out, and
the choice is up to you. Please heed the warning.
We are in the process of updating our tapes, and they will be
available soon. Revelation 13:16-18 is true and the technology is
already being implanted. The warnings that we have been sounding for
the last decade are coming to pass. The FDA has approved the microchip
injection and if you have been watching the news and reading the
newspapers you have seen that the Mexican Government has required many
of its employees to receive the Chip. Well that couldn’t happen here
could it?
THIS
IS ONE MORE OF THOSE SIGNS
US ADOPTS
NATIONAL ID: HOMELAND SECURITY NOW IN CHARGE OF REGULATIONS FOR ALL US
STATES DRIVERS LICENSES AND BIRTH CERTIFICATES.
A massive US
intelligence Reform bill weighing in at over three thousand pages
passed all the hurdles to become law.
Beginning in
2005, the Department of Homeland Security will issue new uniformity
regulations to all states requiring that all drivers’ licenses and
birth certificates meet federal standards.
Added to
currently existing Federal laws and Supreme Court Rulings American
Citizens, when born, will be issued a Social Security Number that will
be included on their Birth Certificate, along with DNA biometric
markers. All birth certificates will be registered in a Federal
Government Data Base maintained by the Department of Homeland
Security. No child will be allowed enrollment to schools or be
entitled to either state or Federal Government benefit programs
without first presenting a certified Homeland Security registered
Birth certificate.
Driver’s
Licenses will also contain DNA biometric markers and include holders
Social Security Number. Federal Law Enforcement authorities have the
right to request Identification from any American citizen for any
reason, and at any time as not being violations of their, the citizens,
constitutionally protected rights.
Folk’s, never
before in History have the words of Benjamin Franklin been so correct
when he stated, “people willing to trade their freedom for temporary
security deserve neither and will lose both”.
Today December
9, 2004 will be one of those moments in time that future historians
will look back on, and pinpoint as being the day that the United States
of America, as it was founded by it’s forefathers, ceased to exist.
The
Word of God is very clear, and God is not the author of confusion. The
Word tells us what it will be like in the last days. My friend, all
you have to do is look around you. Jesus Christ is still ready,
willing and able to save your soul. All you have to do is ask Him.
The Watchman
We at Trumpet
Ministries thank you for your interest in us. It is God who meets our
needs, working thru people like you and others who have received our
tapes and literature, and have responded. We send requested material
and bibles into prisons and foreign country’s and do not expect a
financial response. There are also those who cannot help because of
age or physical condition. We do ask that if you are one of those
chosen to help others, and help meet the needs of this ministry, that
you would pray and ask the Lord what you should do, and then respond.
Please pray
for me as I continue to travel in search of souls for the Kingdom.
In Christ
