We are a nation adorned with pagan images of the ancient Roman gods-NOT the God of the Bible! Christians are being fed a steady diet that this nation has a Christ-centered heritage laid by “Christian” founding fathers. The problem is that these founding fathers overwhelmingly chose imagery that does not belong to JESUS to mark this nation’s important places, but rather purposely selected those things that belong to the supreme Roman god, JUPITER to permeate its money and landmarks. In using the phrase, “In God We Trust” and “One Nation Under God”, it isn’t the God of the Bible that is being exalted, but rather it is the pagan gods of the ancient world of the Greek and Roman Empires that have been given the place of honor and recognition by our “Christian” founding fathers. In our last newsletter we looked at several striking comparisons between the laws and governmental structure of the ancient Roman Empire and its modern-day carbon copy, America. In this issue, I want to confront you with the evidence of all the Roman imagery that permeates Washington D.C. It isn’t Christian imagery that marks the Capitol, but rather it is Roman to the core! Awake Christian! America is the prophesied revived Roman Empire!

There is a deep-seated reason why Judaism and Christianity remain diametrically opposed to each other: Judaism interprets the Shema ("Hear O Israel") prayer as containing a literal expression that there is only one God in existence-He has no Son of divine origin. Christianity holds a deviated concept that although the Shema proclamation speaks indeed of one God, He manifests Himself in three equally divine personages of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Often Christian theologians liken their view of God’s oneness to being like that of an egg: one egg comprised of three ingredients- the egg shell, egg white and yoke. Put them all together, and you have a simple way of seeing God as “one God” who can exist in three different manifestations. However, what I really want to accomplish in this newsletter is to demonstrate that “The Oneness of God” of the Shema prayer speaks of UNITY in the triune Godhead rather than either Judaism’s or Christianity’s literal, physical view of the oneness of God. If Christianity does not seek to correct the erroneous Jewish interpretation of the Shema (as well as their own view), then the spiritual blindness will remain a major stumbling block. The oneness of God speaks of UNITY!

As followers of Christ, we need a proper understanding of death. There is more to this subject than meets the physical eye. It is not just the physical act of death that constitutes death as being God’s enemy, but it is also the behind-the-scenes activity of the demonic spirit called "Death" which the Scripture singles out as being God’s last enemy that He will destroy.
The experience of death for a follower of Christ is not the same event as that which awaits those who reject salvation through Jesus Christ. Outwardly, in the physical realm, death looks to be the very same experience for believer and unbeliever alike, namely, the physical body dies. Nothing could be further from the truth. This newsletter is dedicated to revealing the stark contrast between the two.

The Bible is filled with what the apostle Peter called, "…exceedingly great and precious promises" (2 Pet.1:4). It has been estimated that there are over 5,000 such promises recorded in God’s Word that express His will for His covenant people, both Israel and the Church.
However, there are also 1,522 if’s recorded in God’s Word, many of which spell out the stipulations and conditions that are attached to those precious promises. An unconditional promise is an oxymoron. Often it is the "if’s" of the Bible that spell out for us what are the conditions attached to those exceedingly great and precious promises. This newsletter is dedicated to drawing your attention to what I like to call the biggest little word in the Bible.
