600 Jewish Laws:
—— Christian-Cyber-Ministries, Sunday's Pastor Bill emailed this week: Jesus reduced 600 laws back to 10, then reduced those to only two laws we need follow: "So imagine what people thought when Jesus boiled down the lot – 600 again became 10 and then upon further review the 10 became two. Do you think if Jesus asked you to do two things for him, you could do it?"
—— RDK: Jesus never reduced 600 back to 10 then down to only 2 we must do. To begin, 588 of those laws were and are Ordinances, not Statutes as are the two Royal Laws and Ten Precepts; according to Daniel, the Ordinances deleted at Jesus' death were only the sacrifice and oblations laws: according to Daniel. Recall: both Ordinances and Precepts aka Statutes are two different types of law, the former always temporary and, according to God, the latter stand forever "even in the new earth and heavens."
—— Further, Christ said the 10 "hang upon" – meaning "depend upon" – the 2 of Love; meaning that without love, one cannot and will not obey 10d: "violate one and be guilty of Ten. Besides, Jesus reduced nothing; for God stated the two Royal Laws of Love in the Old Testament, saying love inspires obedience of Ten change to righteousness.
—— Why else is one of the Precepts' titles "Law of Righteousness?" Pastor Bill would have served God and Christ had he asked, "Do you think if Jesus asked you to do Twelve things for Him you could do it?" – RDK asks "Love God, Love Neighbors, Obey Ten: is this so much to ask of His children?" No way! After all, God gives far more than asked of us; including giving His Son so we might obey as He did: the Jews did not. God then warned the Jews, "I will go to the heathen and they will do my Doctrine (12-Statutes)." Are you disappointing God and Christ? Do you prove God wrong before the Jews today?

Pope's Christ–Mass: 2011
—— The Mass began midnight, Christmas eve, for 2–hrs 40–min. Note: a bit of data herein does repeat a few prior Oils and/or Bible treatises; albeit, the topic does call for repetition but always, recalling facts and God's encouragement as time nears the end.
—— The Catholic mass was held in St. Peter's Basilica. Due to the immense size of the sanctuary, Pope Benedict XVI stood on a gold platform rolled forward by two guards so he – weak from a week of engagements and appearances – was saved walking its two football fields to an elevated podium displaying a 36–inch tall rectangular slab where, ostensibly, Christ's dead body is laid out. (Catholicism "preaches another christ;" yet all symbols and statues are meant to represent the true Son of God: our Jesus Christ.) The chapel was filled to capacity, 5000 people, and another 1000 outside.
—— To begin, Pope Benedict led rituals of swinging incense containers smoking over an invisible Christ, after which the Cardinals did the same to Benedict: a form of blessings and praise yet insincerely when directed at an unseen Jesus. Following this ritual, the Pope turned and said, "Behold, before you stands the incarnated (in the flesh) Jesus."
—— Note: Catholics believe, and are taught that all Popes were and are Jesus in the flesh. Readers might recall Benedict's recent public statement, "I am God;" accounting for one of his titles, the "Holy Father;" while priests are called only "Father:" both opposing God's words, "Thou shalt call no man Father but me, for I am a jealous God."
—— Jesus said, "Many will come saying, 'I am Jesus.' These are antichrists." Therefore, the Pope admitted being the antichrist before billions of people; a known fact known as early as the Apostles: they stated that antichrists were even then. They knew well the wicked beginnings and purpose of Catholicism and its Popes. The Apostles warned everyone: "they come preaching another Jesus."
—— The Latin word "Pope" means papa or father. In Rev. 2:13, the word "Antipas" is referred to as God's "faithful martyr;" one or more who have died for Christ as He died for us. The word itself is not actually the proper name of a person or Apostle: as it might seem due to being capitalized. Antipas is a person or persons "opposing papa, that is, are against Popes and false teachings" or any sect leader titled "Father" who lies for God.
—— The martyr of Rev. might have been Apostle Peter: killed by Papal order yet whom Rome says is the "rock upon whom" Catholicism was built and after whom St. Peter's Basilica is named. It was easy to deceive her flocks with this lie by distorting the relevant scripture in Matt. 16:18; but, I Corin. 10:16 identifies the Rock in Matthew. Peter had lived in Rome and, at one time, was imprisoned there: nothing more.
—— Rome also claimed to have Peter's body entombed in the Vatican catacombs: only recently during a televised tour of the catacombs did the host Cardinal say, "We think it is Peter's body," suggesting there is no way to confirm the skeleton's identity; not even by DNA testing. The host was quick to change subjects and urge the group to move on: obviously he had revealed Rome's lie of many years declaring the bones were Peter's.
—— Without doubt, Christ is "the rock upon which" Jesus built His church; not Apostle Peter. Many times Christ was referred to as "the rock" and "the corner stone" of His church – no other being, except God, was Biblically identified as "the rock" – therefore both Christ and Peter could not be "the rock," which title is not plural. Peter and the other Apostles are no more than we: "lively stones." Peter's task was to preach Jesus to both Jews and gentiles, bringing in "lively stones" to build the church "upon Christ;" which is to say, "Christ's teachings." Peter could speak only Christ's lessons, not form his own: as Jesus said so Peter, "My words are not mine but the words of He (God) who sent me."
—— Following various rites, the Pope and all others on the podium then "ate Christ's body and drank His blood;" a Eucharist or 'Last Supper' of wafers and a sip of red wine served to each in attendance. In Italian and Latin, Benedict spoke or sang throughout the mass but only in brief responses to parts of songs: an American priest interpreted only parts of the little Benedict did say. His choir sang nonstop during this High Mass.
—— To clarify why the solid slab is said to hold the dead body of Christ, on top, instead of inside, we must understand Rome's meaning of "Christmas," as initiated by Rome: a combined version of "Christ mass." Christ, that is, His dead body represents the same flesh body taken from His cross and entombed: as opposed to a risen Jesus whom today remains very much alive in His natural spirit state and resides in heaven.
—— The definition of Mass, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia, citation after a brief of the Pope's Christmas Mass, and an English Dictionary, clearly explain why Rome's intent is a live Messiah is on the ritual table below a gold cross mounted to the back wall. Definitions from "Webster's New World Dictionary, College Edition" follow:
—— Mass: Webster's – Lower Latin, 'dismissal;' Latin, 'to dismiss' (go, you are dismissed); High Mass is done with incense and music, a Low Mass is not. The mass this year was a High Mass – contrary to prior years – the word mass being an immediate dismissal of Jesus from a ritual supposedly glorifying His birth.
—— Not only should we understand that Christmas is a pagan solstice festival beginning on 21 December and is not at all close to Christ's actual birth day – the month and year being the only information the Bible provides – and that Rome's Christmas High Mass, and all other Catholic and Anglican masses aka Low Mass, begin by first and immediately dismissing Christ from the ritual: by power of the word Mass. They really do not have to dismiss Jesus; after all, "in their midst He shall not be." Their action is similar to Sabbatarians dismissing Satan prior to worship and praises to our Father and His Christ: if we did not, our study or services would be open to Lucifer's lies.
—— Pagan religions, i.e. Wiccan and Druid – members of Rome's World Church – also use the term 'High or Low Mass' for their various traditions; and, it was from these cults that the Popes' and priests' robes and headpieces were fashioned and the rosary adopted: with exception and differing from Catholicism, only pagan priests use the beads, whereas all Catholics use a rosary during repetitive prayers.
—— Perversely and by meaning only, Catholic masses are held for worship of and praise to their messiah aka Satan via the Pope; yet the same services are said to be for Christ thus deceiving unwitting Catholic parishioners, those whom Rome also demands they not study the Bible without a priest to guide them. For most of Catholicism, parishioners also were, and likely still are, instructed not to read the Book of Revelation. Obviously the church fears its people will discover who and what is Papal Rome and Catholicism. This also applies to her Sunday harlot daughters of various "Orthodox" sects, Rome's blasphemous day actually Lucifer's mark. Rome no longer refers to her daughters as Protestant, although from her beginning they were not recognized as her offspring, neither by her nor them; and, until recently, they were labeled "Protestant" and Sabbatarians were a "cult."
—— RDK reported that, just in the last 12-months, Rome began acknowledging all Sunday keeping denominations as "Orthodox" sects: they obey her traditions and commandments. On the other hand, she now labels "Protestant" only Sabbatarians (seventh day keepers); plus, she as well as her daughters today teach that Sabbatarians (Exodus 20:8-11) are "legalists, Judaizers – meant to imply that we betray Jesus as did Judas Iscariot, yet the definition is "conform to Jewish customs" – and, more recently, terrorists who cause continuing wars, lack of global peace, and failing 'climate justice.'"
—— The term "Protestant" was coined by Rome when certain of her priests left the church to form other denominations and somewhat different doctrines. Today it is defined as "all religions that oppose Rome (Revelation's great whore): "protests" her commandments and teachings, do not pay homage to her Sunday sabbath, do not revere the Pope as Jesus incarnate as well as worship him as God, and do not recognize Rome as the 'true church of Christ;' and calls herself, as do her offspring, the "mother church."
—— Mass: Catholic Encyclopedia, pg. 537 – "In the Christian law, the supreme sacrifice is that of the Mass. The supreme worship makes offering of a worthy victim to God, the offering made by a proper person, such as a priest, effects the victim's destruction."
—— RDK: Based on the above definition and the beginning ritual of the Pope's High Mass performed Christmas morning, this is to say that Rome "destroys Jesus as her victim" in every Mass. This destruction, once said of Jesus by France "kill the wretch," prompts the Pope to then announce to his congregation, "Behold, before you stands the incarnate Jesus." This is unforgivable blasphemy of the highest order.
—— Hebrews 10:26–29,31 – "If we sin knowingly, after we have received the wisdom and knowledge of God's Truth, there is no more sacrifice for our sins, only a certain fearful looking forward to judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour those who hate God by disobeying His Doctrine. He who despised God's Law, in Moses' day, died without mercy under two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment, do you think, shall he be worthy; he who has trodden under his foot the Son of God and considered the blood of the covenant, which cleansed him of sin, an unholy thing and has done sin despite the Spirit of grace? It is a fearful thing to fall into the Living God's hands."

"Hope" Definitions & Info: God's words of only His bottom line; meaning just the part of each verse summing up His intent and/or defining hope's meaning: how hope looks, feels, sounds and acts. We end this Oil with five scriptures due to the vast number of verses and continue in the next Extra Oil. We begin with man's definition of 'Hope':
—— "Webster's New World Dictionary, College Edition" – Hope: 1. A feeling that what is wanted will happen; desire accompanied by anticipation or expectation; 2. the object of this; 3. a person or thing from which something may be hoped; 4. (Archaic) trust, reliance; to expect, look for; sense development, expect to get; Latin – 'cupere,' to desire, 1. want and expect; 2. want very much; (Archaic) 1. have hope (for); 2. trust or rely on – SYN. see expect – "hope against hope:" go on hoping when it SEEMS baseless.
—— Greek Dictionary: ĕlpizō of ĕlpis – expect or confide: (have, thing), hope for, trust. (anticipate, usually with pleasure); expectation or confidence – faith, hope.
—— RDK: "hope against hope" was our hope that Christ would be here sometime between mid-Oct to mid-Nov 2011; yet, He did not arrive, so we must continue to hope He definitely is coming quickly: His promise given for His return "quickly" during this Laodicea church era, the same age He vowed to cut short for the elect's sake. 11 Dec 2011 "Extra Oil: Fatal Lip Service, Etc." page 7, "Years Expired," revealed this living earth has completed her work week, that is, 6 days = 6000–years.
—— By the Jewish calendar, earth attained her age of demise at either the beginning, middle, or even the end of Sept 2011: Jewish first month of the year per God: man's year begins Jan. 01. Also, the Jewish calendar's days number differently than man's and God's standard equal to 365–days; although for prophecy purposes, God uses a statutory year of 360–days: confirming Daniel's omen, "they hope to change times and laws."
—— Since no one knows the specific day and hour God gave life to our planet, we can say only that she is about to enter her promised Sabbath rest, the seventh day of her week. Earth's seven week days are fulfilled by 1000-yrs for each day. This being the case, Jesus must arrive that she may enter her rest in that exact moment; neither early nor late. The Old Testament reads that she will cease "to turn" on her axis at exactly the minute our Savior comes through her door: Revelation states of Christ, "He is even at the door." Pausing to enter, our Redeemer continues to knock at earth's door for Lukewarm's sake; that they might repent. If they do not, they shall perish forever and ever.
—— There are so many still who have not opened their own doors to our Savior's knock, thinking they have all they need: Truth but without action to verify the Truth they do know absolutely. In their minds His final knocking is for those lost – the wicked and filthy, blind and deaf, of whom God said remain as they are in Laodicea through earth's end: bearing Satan's mark for utter destruction.
—— Christ will not wait long, for mother earth must have her Sabbath rest of 1000–years before she can be restored when our Lord returns with us; after all and according to God's word, man has not given Sabbath rests to her as God ordained and commanded: each seventh year since she began turning and laboring for mankind. We must add that neither earth nor we have ever been allowed to work–for–gain on God's Holy day.
—— Still, the moment of Christ's coming is least expected by everyone, especially the Lukewarm, wicked and filthy. Mid-Oct to mid-Nov was the final harvest followed by its festival: mid- to late- October was the time of Jesus' birth. Since mid-Oct to mid-Nov was intended to warn, before too late, the Lukewarm, it might be Christ will come during . . .
—— The first harvest festival period, spring as it were; which was the time Christ rose from the grave, then 40-days later ascended to heaven — Jesus died Friday about 3pm on about 03 April 31AD; at sunset 04 April He was placed in a tomb through 05 April; at dawn 06 April Christ arose and a host of prophets and saints were resurrected with Him; He was seen by 500 people for 40 days; on the 40th day, about 15 May 31AD, Christ and the host ascended to heaven.
—— Consider what happens when Jesus' arrives, noting a mirror image to the above: the righteous dead are raised to stand with the elect living, then together we ascend to the clouds for Jesus to "escort us to the safe haven of heaven" – it appears the logical period of time that Christ might arrive with the scene progressing the same way His resurrection and ascension occurred, taking with Him a host who rose from their graves at exactly the same time He arose. If this were the case, then the day and hour would be preset between 04 April to 15 May; hopefully in 2012.
——Jesus will not come on a pagan date, for God will not validate their omens. A specific day and hour cannot be known; only how the day will be: "It will be neither day nor night but it will be light. The moon will shine as the sun and the sun as seven suns."
—— Now follows God's Word on "Hope," verse references and some paraphrasing for clarity. "Hope" will continue in our next Extra Oil.
Hope Scriptures:
—— God's abundant mercy recreated the elect (chosen) with an active hope by Christ's resurrection. God restored Jesus and gave Him glory that your faith and hope might be in God. Guard your mind, be sober and hope to the end for grace brought to you by Jesus Christ . . . With humility and respect, tell everyone who asks why you have hope . . . He with this hope purifies himself by obeying God's Law, as Jesus is pure and obedient. (I Peter 1:3,21; 3:15; I John 3:3-4)

Closing Notes:
My Brethren, blessings to each of you and more to come. Know that Christ is coming quickly: even the wicked and filthy are beginning to notice dire changes, thinking end is coming. So fast will He arrive. Harm neither man nor creature, give what you have to whomever asks, pray unceasing even for the wicked and enemies. Be fully armored, be prepared, watch the clouds; you know how the day will be. Do not be caught unprepared that you be left behind. Know that my prayers are with each of you!
Much love & prayers,

Fatal Lip Service: excerpt "Truth Gathering," Chapter 7, pgs 155–163 (exhaustive AKJV Topical Bible of all critical-to-salvation subjects; most scriptures paraphrased) — for brevity, the following passages are summarized by using only the explanatory parts of verses; scripture references are limited to book/chapter only, each paragraph a specific book in Bold underscored print before the verse(s) – unless the book provides so many verses that two or more paragraphs are needed – chapters noted in [brackets] at the end of each passage, i.e. [c.12]:
—— Psalm: Help, Lord; for the godly man is no more. They speak vanity with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak; who have said, " With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?" [c.12] Their sorrows shall be multiplied, their offerings will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. [c.16] With their mouth they speak proudly. [c.17] They shoot out the lip, they shake the head saying, "Jesus trusted the Lord, that God would deliver Christ: let God deliver Him, seeing He delighted in God. [c.22] The workers of iniquity speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts. [c.28]
—— Lying lips speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. [c.31] Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking deviousness. Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. [c.34] O Lord, open my lips and my mouth shall speak praise you. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and remorseful heart. [c.51] The wicked tongue devises mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working by deceit. You love evil more than good and lying rather than righteousness. You love all devouring words. This is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness. [c.52]
—— Do you speak righteousness, O congregation? Do you judge fairly, O you sons of men? Break their teeth, O God, in their mouths. [c.58] With their mouth they are rude, their lips are swords. For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them be taken even in their pride: and for cursing and lying, which they speak. [c.59] All of you shall be slain. [c.62] The mouth of they who speak lies shall be stopped. [c.63] The wicked, who sharpen their tongue like a sword and shoot bitter words at the perfect: suddenly they shout at him and fear not. They encourage themselves in evil; they say, "Who shall see us?" They search out iniquities; both the inward thought of every one of them and the heart is deep. But God shall shoot at them suddenly, so their words are about themselves. [c.64] They remember that God was their rock and redeemer; nevertheless they flatter Him with their mouths and lied with their tongues; for their heart was not right with Him, neither were they steadfast in His Law. [c.78]
—— Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips and deceitful tongues: I am for peace but when I speak, they are for war. [c.120] Evil men imagine harm in their hearts and are gathered for war. They sharpen their tongues like a serpent, adders' poison under their lips. Let the harm of their own lips destroy them; let them be cast into the fire, that they not rise up again. [c.140] Let the wicked be trapped by their own nets. [c.141]
—— Proverbs: Stay away from those with a foul mouth and perverse lips. [c.4] The words of a strange church drop as honey, its mouth smoother than oil: but her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go to death; her steps take hold on the grave. Her ways are unstable: remove yourself from her and do not come near her door of her house, for all evil is in the midst of her congregation and assembly. [c.5] Stay away from the strange congregation that flatters with her words. She is loud and stubborn and lies in wait at every corner. Her fair speech causes men to yield; her flattering lips forces him. He goes after her, knowing not that he will pay with his life. Listen to God's words, "Let not your heart fail to her ways, stray not onto her paths; for she has slain many strong men. Her house is the way to the grave and the second death." [c.7]
—— He who hides hatred with lies and utters slander is a fool. The heart of the wicked is of no value. The wicked tongue shall be cut out, for the wicked speak only evil. [c.10] They counsel deceit and lie in wait for blood. They are trapped by their lips' transgressions; a false witness demonstrating deceit, their words piercing like a sword. A lying tongue is for only a moment and are abominations to the Lord. [c.12] He shall receive destruction. [c.13] The mouth of the foolish is a rod pride. Do not be in the presence of a foolish man when you realize there is no knowledge of God in his words. His speech reflects only spiritual poverty. [c.14] The wise spread spiritual knowledge, but the heart of the foolish does not. [c.15]
—— A fool's instruction is madness, a way that seems right to men; but their instruction is the way of death. An ungodly man digs up evil and in his lips is a burning fire. A wicked man sows strife and a whisperer separates good friends. A violent man entices his neighbor and leads him to evil ways. He shuts his eye to good in order to devise evil things, his lips bring evil to pass. [c.16] The wicked heed only false lips and a liar listens to naughty tongues. [c.17] A fool's lips cause conflict and causes fights. His mouth is his destruction and his lips trap his soul. The fool's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth and he shall be filled with his words. Death and life are in tongue's power, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. [c.18] Better are the poor who walks in integrity than he who speaks perverse words and is a fool. [c.19] Have nothing to do with gossips, for they reveal secrets and speak flattering words. He who curses his father or mother shall be put out in cloaked darkness (and await the second death). [c.20]
—— He that loves pureness of heart, for the grace of his heart the Lord shall be his friend. Heed the words of the wise and seek God's knowledge; for it is a good thing to hold them in your heart so you will speak them. [c.22] God rejoices when you speak right things. Do not envy sinners; respect and obey the Lord at all times. There is an end and your expectations will be received. [c.23] He who says to the wicked, "You are righteous," the people shall curse him and nations will hate him. Do not lie about your neighbor and do not speak deceiving words. Do not say, "I will do to him what he has done to me; for God will do to you what you have done to others. [c.24]
—— He who passes by and meddles in trouble not his own is like a madman who shoots arrows, a troublemaker causing death; so is the man that deceives his neighbor and says, "It is just sport, a joke." As coals are to burning coals and wood to fire, so a hateful man causes fights. A gossip's words are wounds that go deep into the belly. Fiery lips and a wicked heart are like shards of broken glass covered with silver's waste, a cruel weapon causing death. [c.26]
—— He who hates tends to avoid facts, holding deceit within himself; when he seems to speak with honesty, do not believe him: for there are seven abominations in his heart. He whose hatred is masked by a smile and love, his wickedness shall be revealed before all the saints. He who digs a pit to catch another shall he himself fall into it; and he who rolls a boulder to harm another shall have it return upon himself. A liar, whose flattering lips spoil another's reputation, hates those hurt by his lies. [c.26] Do not praise yourself; let a friend or a stranger do so. Verbal rebuke is better than secret love, when spoken by a faithful friend; but an enemy's kisses are deceitful. [c.27]
—— Ecclesiastes: A serpent will bite with venom for no cause, and he who talks nonsense is no better. A fool's mouth will swallow up himself; for the beginning of his speech is foolishness and the end of his talk is harmful madness: he is full of confusing words, those who hear him unable to tell what he really means or what shall be when he is gone; but he will listen to no one. [c.10]
—— Isaiah: Every battle usually includes confusing noise and garments covered in blood, but God's battle (in the Valley of Jehosaphat) will be with burning fueled by fire. [c.9] People draw near God with their mouth and with their words do honour Him, but have removed their heart far from Him; and their fear of God is taught by the precepts of men. The wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and their prudent men's understanding shall be hid. Woe unto them who seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord: their works are done in the dark and they say, "Who sees us and who knows us?" Surely they turn things upside down and shall be considered potter's clay: for the clay shall say of him that made it, "He made me not?" Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, "He had no understanding?" [c.29]
—— God creates the fruit of the lips; thus there is no peace for the wicked. [c.57] The wicked's have spoken lies and perverseness and cause iniquity by transgressing and lying about the Lord. They utter falsehoods from their heart. Yes, truth fails and he that departs from evil makes himself a pre: the Lord saw it and it displeased him that there was no fair judgment. [c.59]
—— Jeremiah: God has stricken the wicked but they have not grieved; He has consumed them but they have refused to heed correction. They have made their faces harder than rocks and refuse to return to God. They are foolish, for they do not know God's way or His judgments. Wherefore a lion shall slay them, a wolf shall ruin them, and a leopard shall watch their cities: every one who goes out of the cities shall be torn to pieces because their transgressions are many and their backslidings are increasing. Your children have forsaken the Lord. God shall visit for these things and be avenged. Behold, God will make His words like fire in their mouths and the people like wood, and it shall devour them. [c.5]
—— The wicked trust in lies that cannot save them. They steal, commit adultery and swear falsely, and walk after other gods whom they do not know. Then they come and stand before God and say, "We are delivered to do all these abominations. Children gather wood, fathers kindle the fire and women knead dough to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and pour drink offerings unto other gods. They provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces. Therefore, God's anger and fury shall be poured out upon man and beast, trees and the fruit of the ground: it shall burn and not be quenched. God did not speak or command burnt offerings or sacrifices; instead, He said, "Obey my voice and I will be your God and you shall be my people: if you do all the ways I have commanded, it will be well with you. [c.7]
—— They have rejected God's Word and wisdom and provoked Him to anger with their graven images and strange arrogance and pride.[c.8] Their tongues lie and they are not eager for the truth. They move from evil to evil and will not speak truth, having taught their tongues to lie and weary themselves by committing iniquity. Their tongues are like arrows shooting out deceit. One speaks peacefully to his neighbor but in his heart he lays wait. Shall God not come against them for these abominations? Shall not His soul be avenged on such a people as this? They have forsaken God's Law, have not obeyed; instead, they go after their own hearts' imaginations. God has said, "I will feed them with wormwood and give them gall, instead of water, to drink. [c.9]
—— The wicked are near to God by their words yet far from His reins. [c.12] They are accustomed to doing evil; therefore, God will scatter them like the stubble that passes away by the wine of the wilderness: for they have forgotten God and trusted in lies. God has seen their adulteries, neighings, the lewdness of their whoredoms and their abominations. [c.13] Your fathers have forsaken God, walked after and served, and worshipped other gods, and have forsaken Him and have not obeyed His Law; and you have done worse than your fathers! Every one of you go after the imaginations of your evil heart. [c.16]
—— Cursed is the man that trusts man and whose heart departed from the Lord. Blessed is the man who trusts God and whose hope is in God. "I the Lord search the hearts, I test the reins. [c.17] The earth is full of adulterers and their way is evil. Both the prophet and priest are profane; yes, in my house I have found their wickedness," saith the Lord. "You have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts your God." [c.23] "My people, I will give you one heart and one way, that you may fear me forever for the good of you and of the children after you. And I will not turn away from you, but I will my fear in your hearts, that you shall not depart from me again." [c.32]
—— Lamentations: You have seen their censure, O Lord, and their imaginations against me; the words of those who rose up against me and their device against me all the day. Repay them, Lord, according to the work of their hands. Give them sorrow and your curse. Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the Lord. [c.3]
—— Ezekiel: Son of man, my people, hear the Lord's words but they will not obey them; for their words show much love, but their hearts go after their covetousness. Lord, you are to them like a very lovely son and like an instrument played well: for they hear your words but do not do them. [c.33]
—— Hosea: Turn to the Lord and say, "Take away all our iniquity and receive us graciously; so we will render the offerings of our words. The ways of the Lord are right and the just shall live by them; but the sinners shall fall by God's Law.
—— Malachi: Now, O you priests, this commandment is for you. You shall possess knowledge and the people should learn the Law by your words; for you are the messenger of the Lord of hosts. But you have departed from God's way; you have caused many to stumble at the law. Therefore, God have made you contemptible and low before all the people because you have not obeyed His ways; you have taught my Law in part instead in the whole. Have you not all one Father? Did not one God create us? Take heed to your spirit, that you not deal treacherously. You have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet you say, "Wherein have we wearied Him? When you say, "Every one that does evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and He delights in them; for, where is the God of judgment?" [c.2] God said, "I am the Lord, I change not. You have turned away from my ordinances and have not obeyed them. You have robbed me of tithes and offerings. You have said, 'It is vain to serve God; for what profit is there in obeying His ordinances and have walked somberly before the Lord of hosts? So, now we call the proud happy and they that do wickedness are glorified; yes, they that tempt God are even delivered. Then they who feared the Lord spoke often to one another, and the Lord heard and heeded; then a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who feared the Lord and thought upon His name. "They shall be mine," said the Lord of hosts, "in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them as a man spares his own son that serves him. [c.3]
—— Matthew: No man can serve two masters; for he either will hate one and love the other; or he will hold to the one and despise the other. Therefore, I say to you, "Take no thought for your life. [c.6] These people draw near me with their mouth and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. In vain they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. [c.15]
—— Mark: This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. In vain they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. In laying aside the commandments of God, you hold the tradition of men. Heed me every one of you, and understand, the things that come out of man are not the things that defile the man. You are they which justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. That which comes out of the man, that defiles the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within and defile the man. [c.7]
—— Luke: He who is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. The Pharisees, who covet, heard these things.
—— Romans: Are we better than the Jews? No, in no way; for we have before proved that both Jews and Gentiles are all under sin. With their tongues thy have spoken deceit, the poison of asps under their lips; whose mouths are full of cursing and bitterness, their feet swift to shed blood; destruction and misery are their ways and the way of peace they have not known: they have no fear of God. [c.3]
—— I Corinthians: In the Law it is written, with men of other tongues and other lips will I (Jesus) speak to this people; yet they will not hear me. [c.14]
—— Hebrews: Let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually; that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name. Do good and communicate: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. [c.13]
—— I Peter: For he who will love life and see good days, let him refrain from speaking evil and guile; let him avoid evil and do good; let him seek and pursue peace. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous and His ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. It is better, if it is God's will, that you suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing. [c.3]

RDK Closing Notes: Prayer updates; Comments on WCC; Years Expired; Closing
Prayer Updates & Requests: Donna Fabel's surgery: it went well and her doctors believe they got all the cancer; however, they will not know for certain until the pathology report comes back. Until then, they also will not know if chemo and radiation will be required. Let us pray those poisons will not be needed according to the Father's will, not ours.
—— Also, continue in prayer for Sister María, her daughter Brittany and granddaughter Rhyli. Continue in prayer for Debbie and Tim: Debbie's plate is overflowing and Tim has been diagnosed "again" with pancreatic and liver cancer: they hope to have caught it early. Speak with the Father, for BonnieQ now has severe edema pointing to indepth heart studies planned as well as an endoscopy due to her esophagus painfully constricting with severe spasms causing the inability to eat; the latter more likely due to MS; she also gained 8-lbs in the last 7–days, possibility of digestive organs shutting down.
—— Surely noticed were the number of WCC newsletters in this Extra Oil: there were four (4) received on the same day. Rome's Pope must be getting desperate to have Satan's goals met before Christ can arrive; which tells us He surely is coming quickly. Again, we should remind ourselves that Jesus will not be late, though it seems He tarries based on the season and year we were given two years ago: even then we were not given the specific day and hour known only to the Father.
—— We are certain, however, that our Redeemer will not come on a day and hour supporting pagan dates citing a specific day: to do so would lend credence to pagan portents instead of God's prophecies. There is no way our Father would validate anything originating from heathen religions: such would render Himself a liar. All should recall that of the seven church ages Sardis, number five, was the shortest era and lasted only 46–years. Laodicea: according to Christ He will "cut short" this final period.
—— Since Sardis lasted the least number of years, we safely understand Laodicea will be shorter than Sardis; else Jesus would not have said He will cut it short for our sake. The only era to "cut short" is Laodicea, which is about to complete its 21st year; plus our Lord's statement, "I come quickly," also indicates God's intended brevity of Laodicea.
Years Expired: Complete Jerusalem construction including the year of Christ's birth and ministry of 3.5–yrs followed by Stephen's death 3.5–yrs (last 7–yrs of . . .) Daniel's 490–yrs; Ephesus, 66–yrs; Smyrna, 223–yrs; Pergamos, 215–yrs; Thyatira, 1260–yrs; Sardis, 46–yrs = 2300–yrs; Philadelphia, 147–yrs; and finally, Laodicea [began in 1991] 21–yrs = 2468–yrs. Noted church ages + 490 = 2468–yrs; plus Israel's 70–yrs captivity and 81–yrs for permit to rebuild Jerusalem, the road to it and the Temple. The 490–yrs + first five church eras total 2468 + 70 + 81 = each of God's relevant prophecies' totaling 2619–yrs at the beginning of Philadelphia.
—— The 2300–yrs prophecies, all of which occur in the A.D. era, ended when Sardis closed at the end of A.D. 1843, and added thereto are the above B.C. prophecy years of 70, 81, 490 years for a total of 2619 BC/AD prophecy years; then Philadelphia began in 1844 and lasted through 1990 for a total plus of 147–yrs; then Laodicea began in January 1991 for a total plus of 21–yrs to date: 2619 + 147 + 21 = 2787 prophecy years through December 2011.
—— Earth was given 6000–yrs to perform her work on mankind's behalf: 6000 – 2787 = 3213–yrs represent part of B.C. years. Of the 3213–yrs 634 (70 + 81 + 490 – 7 = 634) of those occurred in B.C. and included Christ's birth in B.C. 3. Then, 27 A.D. years ended at His 30th birthday in A.D. 27, at which time His ministry began for a total of 7 A.D. years. This means that 3213 + 634 = 3847-yrs of B.C. The Bible reveals the B.C. age of being more years than 3847; which means 6000 – 3847 = 2153–yrs appears to be of A.D.
—— Based on key people's ages beginning with Adam, the Biblical B.C. count is 3989 years; therefore, 3989 B.C. yrs + 2011 A.D. yrs = 6000–yrs already have expired! Christ literally will arrive on any day and at any hour henceforth: IT IS TIME FOR EARTH'S SABBATH REST, her 7th weekday of 1000–yrs, AND FOR US TO RESIDE IN HEAVEN FOR THE SAME PERIOD. "He is even at the door."
—— Our week has seven literal days and, likewise, earth has a metaphoric seven days in her week but each day literally equals 1000–yrs. God and Christ's Sabbath is the 7th–day and, likewise, their Sabbath for earth begins with her seventh day, her seventh 1000–yrs.
—— The above calculations should be exciting to each and every one of Christ's sheep. While He did not arrive sometime during the final harvest season as Spirit instructed, Jesus still is not late: this appearance of delay meant for two groups of people — 1. Keep the wicked and filthy blind and deaf; and, 2. Remove the lukewarm from among Christ's sheep, they who failed to repent when warned of their status.
——The lukewarm were included above due to knowing the season and year given two years ago, and many times thereafter, but did not heed the warning; therefore, they fall away for believing the planned arrival dates were yet another lie of the many spread about during the Philadelphia and Laodicea ages; and, they still had not repented thus totally unprepared. Both above are blind and deaf, therefore Christ comes when they least expect Him: one has never been armored and the latter does not live by the total Truth they knew and professed but their actions are contrary.
Praise the Lord daily, dear brethren; pray unceasing with special prayers raised up for the sick and dying; rejoice for those who have died in Christ, for they are spared the worst of these end days; feed and clothe the hungry and naked; visit the sick and wrongfully imprisoned; harm neither man nor any of God's creatures large and small; pray for your enemies, knowing it is not them but by Satan's machinations.
—— Pray that "your flight from danger be neither in the winter nor during our beloved Lord's Sabbath Day" – Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. Stand strong in God's Truth, even when confronted with death: spread wide your arms saying, "Take your best shot and the Lord will raise me up again." Neither be moved when one of yours is threatened with death or has been killed for our Lord's sake; for they will have been spared that which we must endure until our Messiah comes in the clouds, passing from east to west as He takes us up to Him and slays the wicked behind Him.
Much love & prayers,
Sister BonnieQ, God's Handmaiden

Urgent News: reported by Sister Tammy of Florida
—— Senate Bill 1867 passed 93 to 7 Thursday night, Dec. 1st, affecting Posse Comitatus, a Constitutional law protecting our right to be detained only if charged with a crime or crimes. Bill 1867 eliminates this right and states that any law enforcement agency or enacted Marshall Law force (military) can detain a person or persons for any reason or no reason at all. It begins by stating that this new law exempts U.S. citizens, the law applying only to terrorists both homegrown and foreign.
—— Law 1867 cannot be enforced until it passes Congress and a President's Executive Order is signed; however, deeper into the bill it states that the Feds can apply it to individual U.S. citizens, if our Government suspects him or her or them of terrorism: they can be held indefinitely without the right to remain silent, without representation and a speedy trial. In other laws passed within the last year, even execution is allowed where no charges were filed. Homeland Security will execute this new Law with the power to enact–at–will Marshall Law.
—— The loophole to private citizens poises the U.S. Government to arrest, detain and charge, or not, with crimes individuals and/or large groups of people at one time; which is perfect for the World Church mandating that heretics be rounded up, i.e. Sabbath Keepers recently labeled terrorists, charge them with terrorism, or not, then dispose of them, all in their futile effort to achieve world peace and "climate justice."

Annual Atonement:
Leviticus reveals various Ordinance Laws, a type of laws meant to be temporary and will not exist in the new heaven and new earth – food offerings, peace offerings, sin offerings, offering laws, personal sins, sin offering laws, trespass offerings, laws of holiness, childbirth laws, health laws, plague laws, leprosy laws, leprosy offerings.
—— Leviticus also addresses the annual Sabbath of Atonement. Contrarily, it is a Statute, i.e. Precept law that stands forever, to Jews and adopted Jews alike. This holy day occurred and occurs in the seventh Hebrew month, the same as our Gregorian third month of March on its 10th day; which each year falls on a different week day as opposed to the 7th day Sabbath, which has more requirements than the annual day. Similar to God's fourth Statute, this Atonement Sabbath is for rest and to humble ones self before the Lord in the tabernacle, that believers may be forgiven sins they might have committed throughout the past year.
—— Prior to Jesus, the danger in the Atonement Sabbath was a person dying before the 10th day of March; therefore, his or her sins of the past year might not have been forgiven. It also is a law that requires ordinances of animal sacrifices, atonements for the sanctuary and altar, the congregation's tabernacle as well as the priests and congregation.
—— The down side of this annual Sabbath that, after Israel allowed pagan practices within its boundaries – i.e. today there are three denominations and sabbaths, two of which are deemed synagogues of Satan – as well as spilling blood upon the land in an effort to regain its missing parcels, God stated, "If they offer a sacrifice to me, it will be as if they slit the throat of a dog."
—— Under Israel's current conditions and the existence of Christ, God will not accept any sacrificial offering other than His Son: already done. Orthodox Jews still observe this Sabbath but have omitted sacrifices. This being the case, they would have to believe Jesus was the Messiah and that He abolished sacrificial offerings, yet they do not believe He has ever come the first time; thus, they violate their Atonement Sabbath. Truly, they are in a catch twenty-two situation until they accept Jesus as the Messiah and Son of God.
—— Christ, according to Daniel 9: 27~, caused the ordinances of sacrifice and oblations (offerings) to cease in that all ordinances noted in the first paragraph above also required the ritual of animal sacrifices; whether the animal be a bull, bullock, goat ram, sheep, lamb, doves or other fowl or meals. Recall, ordinances are temporary while Statutes aka Precepts are permanent. Jesus cancelled, by dying on the cross, the annual Atonement Sabbath Precept due to attached ordinances of sacrificial offerings.
—— Our Messiah became the sacrificial lamb and offering unto the Father, that the Father might forgive our past sins and that of our priests – by Him atonement became DAILY – atone the moment we are made aware of having sinned. Neither Jews nor converted heathens (strangers, pagan, gentiles) must wait an entire year to be cleansed of sins they might have done unaware during the past year.

Sabbath Precept in a Nutshell:
The following scriptures are made up of only bottom lines of every Sabbath relevant scripture throughout the Bible, as summarized in bold print within an entire verse quoted verbatim in the exhaustive AKJV Topical Bible "Truth Gathering," chapter 12 – "Saturday vs Sunday," pgs 191–199; the following two passages are cited in full, after which follows all summarized scriptures [book/chapter noted in brackets]:
—— Exodus 20: 8-11; Deuteronomy 5: 12-14 — Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, six days shalt thou labour and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it [made it holy].
——— Ref. Romans 14: 5,~6 — One man values one day above another: another values every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. (But know this,) He who observes the (seventh) day, observes it unto the Lord; but he that does not observe the (seventh day), regarding every day alike, He does not observe it unto the Lord.
—— God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it (set it apart). [Gen. 2]
—— Tomorrow (seventh day) is the rest of the holy Sabbath unto the Lord. How long refuse ye to keep my Commandments and my Laws? See, for that the Lord hath given the Sabbath. So the people rested on the seventh. [Exo. 16] On the seventh day thou shalt rest. [Exo 23] Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: everyone that defileth it shall surely be put to death (second death). The seventh (day) is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. (The Sabbath) is a perpetual covenant; a sign forever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed. [Exo 31]
—— The seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest. [Exo 34] The seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a Sabbath rest to the Lord: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death. [Exo 35]
—— Ye shall keep my (seventh day) Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God. I am the Lord your God. Ye shall keep (obey) my Sabbaths. [Lev 19] The seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an holy calling to worship: it is the Sabbath of the Lord. [Lev 23] I am the Lord your God. Ye shall keep my Sabbaths, I am the Lord. If you (obey) my Commandments and do them. [Lev 26]
—— One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the (heathen) that abides with you. [Num 15]
—— Keep the Sabbath day (to set it apart), as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee. The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: thou shalt not do any work. [Deut 5] Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall keep his Commandments. [Deut 13]
—— (God) made known His holy Sabbath, and commanded precepts, statutes and laws. [Nehe 9] If people bring wares or victuals on the Sabbath day to sell, we would not buy it on the Sabbath, holy day. [Nehe 10] What evil thing is it that you do and profane the Sabbath day? Ye bring more wrath upon you by profaning the Sabbath. [Nehe 13]
—— The writing which is written in the King's name and sealed with the King's ring, may no man reverse (4th precept is our King's seal, thus no man can reverse or change God's Law). [Esther 8]
—— God's Commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. A good understanding have all they that do His Commandments. [Psalm 111] They that follow mischief: they are far from (God's) Law. O Lord, all thy Commandments are truth. Thou hast founded them forever. [Psalm 119]
—— Hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His Commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. [Eccl 12]
—— Blessed is the man that keepeth the Sabbath and keepeth from doing any evil. Unto them will I give in mine house a place and a name better than of sons and daughters: Also the heathen that joins themselves to the Lord and love the name of the Lord, to be His servants, everyone that obeys the Sabbath; even them will I bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer. [Isaiah 56] Behold, in the day of your fast (the Sabbath) ye find pleasure and do all your labours; ye fast for strife and debate and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as you do today. Is not this the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, undo heavy burdens, and let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yolk? Is it not to share thy bread to the hungry, and bring the poor to thy house? Thou seest the naked, that thou cover him, and hide not thyself from thine own family. If thou turn away thy foot from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways nor thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth. [Isaiah 58] The new heavens and the new earth shall remain and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. [Isaiah 66]
—— Thus saith the Lord, take heed and bear no burden on the Sabbath day; neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow the Sabbath day, as I commanded. [Jere 17]
—— If the wicked turn from all his sins and obey all my statutes, he shall live. [Ezek 18]
I gave my Sabbaths to be a sign (seal, mark, token) between me and you that I am the Lord that sanctifies you. Hallow my Sabbaths (52 in a year) and they shall be a sign between me and you that I am the Lord your God. [Ezek 20] Moreover they have done this to me: they have defiled my sanctuary and profaned my Sabbaths. [Ezek 23]
—— He shall come as an eagle because they have trespassed against my Law. [Hosea 8]
—— I say, till heaven and earth pass away, not one dot of an i or cross of a T shall not be deleted from the Law till ALL be fulfilled (ends with new earth and heavens). Whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall called great in the kingdom of heaven. [Matt 5] He that doeth the will of my Father, which is in heaven, will enter the kingdom of heaven. [Matt 7] Jesus is Lord even of the Sabbath day. For whosever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, sister and mother. [Matt 12] Why do you transgress the Commandment of God, thus made the Commandment of God of none effect. In vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrine the commandments of men. [Matt 12] Pray that your escape is not in the winter or on the Sabbath day: for then shall be great tribulation. [Matt 24] In the end of the Sabbath (Saturday), as it began dawn toward the first day of the week (Sunday) . . . [Matt 28]
—— The Sabbath was made for man: Therefore Jesus is Lord also of the Sabbath. [Mark 2] Do good on the Sabbath days, save life. Do the will of God. [Mark 3] When the Sabbath day was come, Jesus began to teach in the synagogue. [Mark 6] People honoureth me with their lips but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching the commandments of men. Making the word of God of no effect by your tradition. [Mark 7]
—— Jesus, as His custom was, went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up to read. [Luke 4] (As God) Jesus is Lord also of the Sabbath. And on another Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught. On the Sabbath days do good, save life. [Luke 6] And Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. Jesus healed on the Sabbath day. Does not a man loose his ox or ass and lead him to water. Ought not this woman Satan hath bound eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day? [Luke 13] Jesus answered, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath? You might have an ass or ox fall into a pit and you will pull him out on the Sabbath day. [Luke 14] It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for the smallest letter of the law to fail. [Luke 16] That day was the preparation and the Sabbath drew on. And they then rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment. [Luke 23]
—— He that received Jesus' testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. For he speaketh the words of God. [John 3] The true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. [John 4] Jesus said, My doctrine is His that sent me. If any man will do His will, he shall know the doctrine of God. [John 7] For I have spoken of the Father and His Commandment is life everlasting. [John 12] I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done. [John 13] If you love me, keep my Commandments. He that has my Commandments and obeys them, he it is that loves me and shall be loved of my Father and I will love him and will manifest myself in him. [John 14]
—— We ought to obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus. [Acts 5] The Apostles went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and read of the Law and the prophets. The heathens asked that these words be preached to them the next Sabbath. And the next Sabbath day came almost the whole city to hear the word of God. [Acts 13] On the Sabbath we went where prayer was the custom and spoke to the women there. [Acts 16] Paul, as his manner was, went in and three Sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures. [Acts 17] He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded the Jews and Greeks, and testified that Jesus was Christ. [Acts 18] Purify thyself, that thou walk orderly and obey the Law. [Acts 21] And I exercise to have always a conscience void of offence toward God and men. [Acts 24]
—— When they knew God, they glorified him not as God. They changed the truth of God into a lie: haters of God, covenant-breakers. [Rom 1] The doers of the Law shall be justified; they which show the Law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness. [Rom 2] We through faith live, are doers of the Law. [Rom 3] The Law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just and good; that sin by the Commandment might become exceedingly sinful. I delight in the Law of God. [Rom 7] The righteousness of the Law be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [Rom 8]
—— As becometh saints, the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth. [Eph 5] Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who took upon Him the form of a servant, and humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [Phil 2] Abstain from all appearance of evil. [I Thess 5] Take heed unto the doctrine, for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee. [I Tim 4] This know, in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be despisers, having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. [II Tim 3] Not giving heed to commandments of men, that turn from the truth; them that are defiled and unbelieving, profess that they know God but in works they deny him; disobedient and every good work perverted. [Titus 1]
—— We which have believed do enter into rest, as He said, They shall enter into my rest of the seventh day, and God did rest the seventh day from all His works. And they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: again He defined a specific day. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would He not afterward have spoken of another day? There remains therefore a rest to the people of God. Let us labour to enter into that rest, lest any of us fall after the same example of unbelief. [Heb 4] Be not carried about with diverse and strange doctrines. [Heb 13]
—— Whosoever shall offend in one point of the Law is guilty of all the Law. By works a man is justified, and by faith. So faith without works is dead also. [James 2] We know that we Jesus if we keep His Commandments. He that saith, I know him, and obeys not His Commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Whoso obeys His word, in him verily is the love of God perfected. He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also to walk, even as Jesus walked. The old Commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. [I John 2] Sin is the transgression of the Law. Whosoever sins has not seen Jesus, neither known Him. He that commits sin is of the devil. [I John 3] We love the children of God when we love God and obey His Commandments. For this is the love of God, that we obey His Commandments: and His Law is not burdensome. [I John 5] This is love, that we walk after His Commandments; that, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it. [II John v.6]
—— I know the blasphemy of them which say they are believers, and are not, but are the synagogues of Satan. [Rev. 2] Another angel, having the Seal of the Living God, sealed the servants of God in their foreheads. [Rev 7] The Remnant are they which obey the Commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. [Rev 12] Here is the wisdom of the saints, they that obey the Commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. [Rev 14] Blessed are they that do His Commandments, for they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the Holy City. [Rev 22]

Xmas or Christmas?
To begin with, Christ was not born on 25 December; He was born on about early to mid-October of 3-1/2 to 3BC, began His ministry in 27AD just as He was about to turn 30, and died 3–1/2 years later in 31AD, and minister Stephen died 3-1/2 years later in 34AD: fulfilling the last seven years of Daniel's 490-yrs prophesied in Daniel c.9. The world has been duped (by Rome) that no one knows when Jesus was born; yet Luke c.1–2 provide all the clues needed to determine our Lord's approximate birth.
—— As for the day celebrated, one should know its origins: pagan, as pagan as one can get; in fact, even the tree is described in the Old Testament as part of the pagan solstice ritual that begins on 21 December. Papal Rome suggested the pagans cut down their trees and set them up in their homes and decorate them there; in exchange, Rome would celebrate the solstice with them but call it Christ's birthday: man's tradition of which our Lord spoke against. Rome claimed they did this in order to save the heathens: an excuse that will never be acceptable to God or His Son.
—— As far as we are concerned, the use of Xmas would be more appropriate than to tie Christ and His glorious name to a pagan festival devoted to their sun god. The same holds true for Easter, another solstice ritual to their sun god yet tied to Christ's resurrection. It is to dishonour Him and what He did for us.
—— We also need to recall that the only Hebrew festival Jesus told us to observe was Passover: March 30–April 01. To do more than this is to make the same grave error that the Hebrews made when they allowed heathens, their rituals and icons into Israel and in their homes if they married a pagan woman: the Jews were scattered across the globe, their lands taken from them then rendered wastelands. They were told they never would have all those lands back — not until earth is made new after its 1000-yrs Sabbath rest. Today, Israel still does not possess of all the holy lands once theirs.
—— Is anyone bold enough to stand toe to toe, eye to eye with Christ or the Father and say, "Well, we knew it was a pagan festival but we did it for Christ's birth on that day (or His resurrection, which ever is the case)."
—— Knowing how God reacted to the Hebrews mingling with heathens and bringing in their false gods, do you really believe He would react any differently today? First, He would say, "You flatter me with your lips but your heart is far from me." But, in a way He will react differently: instead of scattering observers around the world, He ultimately will utterly destroy those who continue with heathen ways. Is that not what Jesus meant when He taught us to NOT follow man's commandments and traditions in God's name. He regards those things as abominations.

Kentucky Baptist Bigotry: reported by Sister Tammy of Florida
Kentucky: An engaged couple, the woman Caucasian – the man a Zimbabwe native, sang a duet at their Baptist Church last Sunday. After services, the pastor told the woman's Dad that the church did not condone interracial relationships thus they no longer would be allowed to participate in various church services and activities; in fact, it would be preferable if they no longer attended that specific church. However, if they elected to continue with the church, they would need to keep a very low profile.
—— RDK Response: There is nothing yea or nay in the Bible regarding interracial betrothals and marriage; other than God having instructed men not to marry heathen women thereby becoming unequally yoked and in danger of turning from God to pagan ways. The above couple were neither pagan nor at risk of being unequally yoked. Any pastor worth his education knows there is absolutely nothing about interracial marriages. This clearly was a case of bigotry, at least on the pastor's part.
—— The only issue Biblically discussed is that of intermarriage, defined as marrying a family member any closer than a third cousin: God forbids any marriage between first or second cousins or siblings, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, et cetera.
—— There was a case in the U.S. of a brother and sister having married; albeit, they did not know they were siblings: separate closed adoptions. At the time there was no way for them to discover until they finally got the files opened after a DNA test revealed familial ties. This could have been avoided if marriage license blood samples tested for STDs would also include DNA. Consider also the thousands and thousands of donor sperms for invitro fertilization: there is no record of adoption, for it is not required.
—— Nevertheless, the above couple refused to divorce: they were irrevocably in love and, despite the risks, planned on having children. Sadly, it is an undisputed medical fact that close relative marriages tend to produce children with serious birth defects. Well did God forbid such unions; although, Satan has made it a bigger risk than ever in history.

Special Prayer Request:
Donald Allen Whitaker, Burleson, TX – whom I recently learned went to sleep, short of his 69th year, while we wait for Jesus – and for his surviving family; that they understand God has spared Don the terrors of these end days. He was my junior high and high school sweetheart; crushed by my mother's abuse, whom I long ago forgave and pray that Don had forgiven her as well, for he knew our Lord.
Closing Notes:
—— Dearest brothers and sisters, keep watching the clouds that you not be caught unaware; pray unceasing; give as asked of thee; obey God's Law that you may enter the gates of heaven and thereafter the gates of New Jerusalem; harm neither man nor creature; pray for your brethren and your enemies; forgive all that you may be forgiven your trespasses; continue to seek out the lukewarm with warning and search out the cold for the truth they await; let nothing cause you to waiver, even death, for by obedience you cannot waiver as Christ did not waiver.
—— We know Jesus is due any day and hour, for He has said He comes quickly. Be alert and aware, that He find you properly dressed in God's full armor and fully prepared for delay, that you not be locked out; for the Father has assured that Christ shall not be late, despite it seeming as if He has tarried. Remember how that great day will appear: "It will be neither day nor night but it shall be light; then the moon shall shine as the sun and the sun shall shine like seven suns."
—— Bless each of you for the blessings you faithfully send into my life, each of you loved more than you know. I pray for each of you as you pray for me. There may soon be a day when I cannot use the computer, other than, perhaps, check email: tremors are worsening by the day – extremely difficult to control the mouse or to write anything, falls more frequent and cannot walk more than 25–ft before great pain sets into my hips and legs; fragility fracture in the left hip; three tumors, instead of one, on the S–1, S–2 and T–6 spinal nerve roots, which rules out the option of surgical removal. My teeth are great!
—— Enough said now, for I do not like to dwell on these issues. It is easier to ignore maladies and pain by staying busy at something. I am not a complainer but do want you to be prepared for a sudden lack of Extra Oils; otherwise, my spirits are good and my spirit–me is strong, more than ready for our Lord to arrive. We simply do not belong here, dear ones; so, be sure you are packed and ready to go home to our Father! We have been too long away and our ride is about to pick us up for the trip!
Much love & prayers in Christ,
Sister BonnieQ, God's Handmaiden

UPDATE, 10:40 a.m., Monday, Aug. 22:
"Blonde" is finally here. It's available on Apple Music and iTunes now.
UPDATE, 1:10 p.m, Saturday, Aug. 20:
Another project from Frank Ocean dropped on Apple Music today. Music video "Nikes" features, among other things, a rapping Chihuahua, a tap-dancing devil, angels and demons on a stripper pole and a man casually walking while on fire. There's also a fair amount of NSFW nudity so be warned.
You can watch it here, only on Apple Music.
UPDATE, 10:10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 19: Apple Music's Twitter account confirmed last night that the streaming service is hosting a new visual album from Frank Ocean, titled "Endless."
According to Rolling Stone, "Endless" is not the proper follow-up album to "Channel Orange," but a different project altogether. The music magazine has also confirmed that "Boys Don't Cry" will be released this weekend, but under a different title.
"Endless" can be streamed on Apple Music here.
As is the case with any news about Frank Ocean, the Internet got as emotional as Ocean does on some of his songs:
Some were angry that the visual album didn't live up to expectations,a nd others were just hoping it wasn't good to rile up fans.
We'll see what happens when the "real album" supposedly drops this weekend.
UPDATE, 12:15 p.m. Monday, Aug. 8: Still no new Frank Ocean album, but there are now rumors that "Boys Don't Cry" will be released Nov. 13, 2016, as evidenced by the library "due date" card image on Ocean's website. Who knows.
UPDATE, 7:35 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 6: Still no new Frank Ocean album.
Friday, Aug. 5:
It's Friday, August 5, 2016, and the Internet is mad at Frank Ocean again.
Why? First, some context.
Three years ago, R&B artist/riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma Frank Ocean announced that he had started work on his third album.
Fans were ecstatic about the news, seeing as his shot to fame after the success of his first mixtape "nostalgia, ULTRA." combined with the six Grammy nominations and one win for his 2012 album "Channel Orange" indicated a star on the rise reminiscent of Sam Cooke.
But then came the wait.
Photos: Did you see Frank Ocean at La Zona Rosa in 2012? You might be in these pictures
In April 2014, Ocean said he was close to finishing the album.
On November 29, 2014, he released a snippet of a song on his Tumblr page, supposedly from the new project, called "Memrise."
On April 6, 2015, Ocean took to Tumblr again, seemingly revealing the album's title and marketing strategy of releasing magazine issues as part of the project.
"I got two versions. I got twooo versions… #ISSUE1 #ALBUM3 #JULY2015 #BOYSDONTCRY," Ocean posted.
#JULY2015 came and went, with no album.
Then, on July 2, 2016, Ocean updated his website with this image, seemingly teasing a release date for "Boys Don't Cry" within the next month:
And…you guessed it, still no album at the end of July, either.
But then fans got a break on August 1, when a live-streamed video on his website appeared, hosted by Apple Music and featuring the Apple Music logo. The mysterious video showed a pair of workbenches in a large empty room, with Ocean making brief appearances.
In an interview that same day with the New York Times, a "person with knowledge of the release plans" confirmed to the newspaper that "Boys Don't Cry" is indeed the album title, and that it would be released on Aug. 5, exclusively through Apple Music for two weeks, after which the album would be put into wide release.
Well, as of this publication date, late in the afternoon in the Central time zone, we're still not hearing any new Frank Ocean tunes.
And since midnight, the Internet has been coping the only way it can— with snarky memes and jokes.
The memes and Twitter trends that come out every time a release date is announced, then delayed, then announced again, for "Boys Don't Cry" are art pieces worthy of albums themselves. It starts to make you wonder if Ocean isn't doing this on purpose in order to collect all the memes and hashtags for album art or something.
Every time "Boys Don't Cry" gets delayed, as with any traumatic event, it follows the same "five stages of grief" pattern, as seen by Twitter users below.
Step 1: Denial
Some users took comfort in the fact that Ocean lives in the Pacific time zone, which is why the album wasn't appearing in Apple Music's library right at midnight for many East Coast and Central time zone fans.
Step 2: Anger
Then, some Internet tricksters started to tweet out fake album links, like the following two, which link to albums from Orlando Brown and Vanessa Carlton, respectively.
Step 3: Bargaining
