					<description><![CDATA[It so often seems pointless, time and time again trying to point people like this Philip Mills to the simplicity of Scriptural truth and the saving reality of faith in Jesus Christ. The deceit pouring from their New Age / Emergent / Mystic beliefs is so tragic, their blindness is so real. 
&lt;em&gt; 2Co 4:4  In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. &lt;/em&gt;

They will not even read postings done with all the best intentions in the world. It never fails to amaze, how people who have harmful intent at heart, come to Christian sites and blogs etc, voice their anti-Christian opinion and when believers try to assist them, they attack the Christian faith. A case in point is Philip Mills, when he attacks the Lord Jesus Christ with his &#039;demon slaying&#039; and demonic &#039;visitations&#039;. (No Philip, I am not confusing it with anything else, you are imagining yourself to be a god, with a supernatural agenda).

These are spiritual warriors indeed, warring against the Holy Spirit. But this is nothing new, and I suppose this persecution of the Christian faith is to be expected especially when a blog is out there publicly exposing them.
&lt;em&gt; Luk 12:51  Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. 
Luk 12:52  For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. &lt;/em&gt; 

It certainly always proves that there is such a fine line between acting in love on the one hand, and throwing your pearls to the pigs on the other. The duty we have to perform between:  
&lt;em&gt; 1 Peter 3:15 But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, &lt;/em&gt;
&lt;b&gt; AND &lt;/b&gt;
&lt;em&gt; Mat 7:6  &quot;Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you. &lt;/em&gt; 

Brothers and sisters, let us try, and I know it&#039;s &#039;hard&#039; to remember, that it is God&#039;s power and grace that saves people, not our efforts. The best and most we can do is pray for them, witness to them, and live the Christian life in front of them. And when the Philip Mills&#039; cross the path of the Christian to also bear in mind the words of our Lord:
&lt;em&gt; Mat 10:14  And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. &lt;/em&gt;]]></description>

&quot;regardless of your attack on our Lord Jesus Christ&quot; - I do not have a clue what you are refering to here so you must be confused.

&quot;Your Christian answer should have been to provide Scripture&quot; - I did, it was not inline with Elmaries understanding of the same scripture and therefore not published other than a note saying I am a false prophet - how&#039;s that for arrogance.

Satan provides training / information to destroy his own and expose him (satan)- another lol. Some very basics which you obviously do not seem to understand.

etc, etc - what a joke this blob ehh blog is...

I am not even going to reply further to your (Grant &#038; Elmarie) utter rubbish and misguided evaluation. 

Please remove all my posts from this site as I certainly do not want to be associated with it. There is a shortage of warriors in spiritual warefare here...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Philip Mills

&lt;blockquote&gt; It is the same messenger which informed me about not going to MMC (“stay away”) &lt;/blockquote&gt;
Philip, you are receiving messages from the dark side. I&#039;m not trying to be argumentative, I certainly have no time for that pointless pursuit, but your statement in itself is not biblical. In another thread you tried to accuse Christian people who have good intentions, of having inferior biblical knowledge to yours. Your biblical knowledge is poor to the extreme. Either that, or you refuse to speak the truth according to the Scriptures. 

Please read on; forget the anger thing for now, forget the perceived competition, it is meaningless, there are no prizes up for grabs ...! 

Your Christian answer should have been to provide Scripture to assist the addressees of your tirades. Pride, jealousy, conceit, lies, covetousness, personal importance are what you are portraying. You are NOT important. You do NOT have superior knowledge. You are NOT an apostle or a prophet or a god. You will NOT convince Christians to accept false religions, visions or messages.

&lt;blockquote&gt; I then proceded to read without comprehending &lt;/blockquote&gt;
God will not do that. God will speak to you with absolute clarity. God expects you to be of clear mind to be able to serve Him. Where does Scripture indicate that confusion is participant to God&#039;s message to mankind? Your incomprehension was due to the demonic attack on your clarity, only Satan will use half-asleep soldiers, because then they are oblivious to his deception. Like being drugged. You need to seek Jesus, seriously. 

Now I remind you again, I know you will even more be angry by now. I know this because I&#039;ve been there too, while I ignored the complete Truth. We have something in common now, you see?

&lt;blockquote&gt; ...ID of the demons possessing a known person, ‘training’ me step by step about satan and his demons... &lt;/blockquote&gt;
You are allowing yourself to become obsessed by your interest in Satan and his demons, while you are being blinded to the opportunity to learn about Jesus and His offer of salvation to you. You are being brought under extremely false impressions that you can emulate and mimic the Almighty. That age old deception is exactly what Satan used on Eve. If you choose Jesus, focus on Him only, and you will be set free from the nonsense you are believing as the gospel truth.

&lt;blockquote&gt;...not to watch ‘Aan die anderkant’ – Marietta Theunissen),.. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
It is my understanding that you have had access to the Holy Bible since you could read and comprehend the Word of God. Please explain why it would have been necessary for you to have received messages from a modern supernatural &#039;messenger&#039; to warn you about something as obviously demonic as &#039;Aan die anderkant&#039;. 

Do you think Christians are fools? Even children who have been taught only the essentials pertaining to the love of Jesus Christ would know, at a very young age, that something like &#039;Aan die anderkant&#039; is simply demonic.   

Philip Mills, my fellow man. I sincerely, and from the most compassionate reaches of my sinful soul, and with all the love I can muster in my heart, regardless of your attack on our Lord Jesus Christ, implore that you ask Him to assist you in understanding the simple peace which is available to you in accepting His offer of salvation, just as He has made clear in His Word. Ignore your &#039;messenger&#039;, whoever he would like you to believe he is. He is a deceiver. You do not need another messenger - Jesus has Himself been here to deliver the message.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[‘heavenly messengers’ ?? please explain 

It is the same messenger which informed me about not going to MMC (&quot;stay away&quot;), not to watch &#039;Aan die anderkant&#039; - Marietta Theunissen), one morning at 5am - &quot;that bad habit of yours (smoking), forget about it, it is gone!&quot; (never again thought about a cigarette after that), giving me the details about the number off and ID of the demons possessing a known person, &#039;training&#039; me step by step about satan and his demons as well as spiritual warefare and many many other &#039;messages&#039; over a very short period recently.

The information came in the form of visions and messages. A vision such as a book which will be opened - only the relevant text will be in bold and the rest in light grey for an example. 

One morning 5am again - &quot;get up and open your Bible to read&quot; I then proceded to read without comprehending (was half asleep), however, when I woke up later that morning, I went back to the scripture which was given to me to read - 

Isaiah 56:9 to 57:1
9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest. 

10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 

11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. 

12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.

57:1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. 

Another vision - a picture of the possessed person in the centre and the demons pictures (6 off) arranged around the centre picture. These demons were also cast remotely. This is a substantial story by itself and I don&#039;t think this is the relevant thread to discuss it.

When I tested the source of the messages, this was the reply - &quot; All messages are from God the father&quot;.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Phillip Mills 
&lt;blockquote&gt;Answer “In 36 months time, they (the antichrist) will be at it for 12 months”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The anti-christ is not in power yet.
The One World Government, One World Economy and One World Religion must first be in place and the prep work is being done at a Tsunami rate. The false prophet must also finalize his work before he hands over to the Anti-Christ.

Great Falling Away after the Departure of the Church
Johan Malan, University of the North, South Africa

Abstract: The revelation of the Antichrist (the man of sin) can only occur after the departure of the true church of Christ.

The departure (Gr. apostasia) of 2 Thessalonians 2:3 will precede the revelation of the Antichrist. The rendering of apostasia as “rebellion”, “apostasy” or “falling away” in most English Bibles is unfortunate since these are secondary, or derived, meanings of the word. Its primary meaning is “departure” which, in this verse, refers to the rapture of the church. In consequence of the rapture, great apostasy will occur on earth while the Antichrist institutes his lawless and utterly sinful reforms. That time will be characterised by a world-wide moral and spiritual falling away.

Speculation is rife about the rapture and the revelation of the Antichrist. Some people spiritualise these concepts, others accept the two events but place them in the wrong chronological order, while many others deny them altogether or allege that the Antichrist was one or other historical figure.

These conflicting opinions cause great uncertainty and confusion among many Christians. However, it is not the first time in the church history that contradictory views and wrong teachings on the end-time gave rise to anxiety among believers. It happened in the first century in the congregation of Thessalonica.

In his first letter, Paul taught the congregation that the Lord Jesus will come at the end of the church dispensation to take the true believers away to heaven:
“For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Therefore, comfort one another with these words” (1 Thes. 4:16-18; the word rapture is derived from catch up (Gr. harpazo) in verse 17).

In Paul’s preaching to the Thessalonians, and also in his subsequent letter to them, a clear promise was made that the Lord Jesus would remove the Christians before the revelation of the Antichrist and the commencement of the judgements of the Day of the Lord during the great tribulation. He exhorted them “to wait for [God’s] Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come” (1 Thes 1:10). “For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thes. 5:9).

As in the case of Noah and Lot, the Christians will be saved from hour of God’s wrath over a sinful world. They will escape the time of judgement by way of the rapture, as promised by Jesus in His Olivet Discourse: “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man” (Lk. 21:36). Those who pursue a false, humanistic peace outside Christ will not escape the judgements of the tribulation. The destruction of the Antichrist’s reign of terror and the judgements of God will suddenly befall them (1 Thes. 5:3).

The congregation in Thessalonica believed this exposition of end-time events. They were eagerly looking forward to the salvation that the Lord Jesus promised to them through the rapture. They had a “blessed hope” to look forward to (Titus 2:13). In terms of this expectation they comforted and exhorted one another to remain faithful to the Lord.
False teachings

The persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire caused considerable anxiety among believers and gave rise to many questions about the end-times – also in Thessalonica. Under the instigation of enemies of the gospel, a letter containing false teachings was written in the name of Paul and distributed among members of the congregation. Other people claimed to have had ‘spiritual revelations’ to the same effect. In these false teachings it was alleged that the day of the Lord (the time of judgements and tribulation) had already begun and that the Christians would have to go through it. In this way the doctrine of the rapture before wrath was contradicted and scoffed at.

Paul wrote his second letter to the congregation with the following objectives: (1) To refute the false teachings about the end-time; and (2) to answer certain questions that were raised by members of the congregation on the second coming and related matters. He starts Chapter 2 by referring to the rapture as “the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together unto Him.” After that he explained and reconfirmed the correct order of end-time events:
“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering unto Him, that ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

“Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming: even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thes. 2:1-12).

In this chapter, Paul clearly states the basic facts about the departing of the one who withholds, the revelation of the Antichrist and also the swift judgement that will befall him during the coming of Christ.

<blockquote><p>Answer “In 36 months time, they (the antichrist) will be at it for 12 months”</p></blockquote>
<p>The anti-christ is not in power yet.<br />
The One World Government, One World Economy and One World Religion must first be in place and the prep work is being done at a Tsunami rate. The false prophet must also finalize his work before he hands over to the Anti-Christ.</p>
<p>Great Falling Away after the Departure of the Church<br />
Johan Malan, University of the North, South Africa</p>
<p>Abstract: The revelation of the Antichrist (the man of sin) can only occur after the departure of the true church of Christ.</p>
<p>The departure (Gr. apostasia) of 2 Thessalonians 2:3 will precede the revelation of the Antichrist. The rendering of apostasia as “rebellion”, “apostasy” or “falling away” in most English Bibles is unfortunate since these are secondary, or derived, meanings of the word. Its primary meaning is “departure” which, in this verse, refers to the rapture of the church. In consequence of the rapture, great apostasy will occur on earth while the Antichrist institutes his lawless and utterly sinful reforms. That time will be characterised by a world-wide moral and spiritual falling away.</p>
<p>Speculation is rife about the rapture and the revelation of the Antichrist. Some people spiritualise these concepts, others accept the two events but place them in the wrong chronological order, while many others deny them altogether or allege that the Antichrist was one or other historical figure.</p>
<p>These conflicting opinions cause great uncertainty and confusion among many Christians. However, it is not the first time in the church history that contradictory views and wrong teachings on the end-time gave rise to anxiety among believers. It happened in the first century in the congregation of Thessalonica.</p>
<p>In his first letter, Paul taught the congregation that the Lord Jesus will come at the end of the church dispensation to take the true believers away to heaven:<br />
“For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Therefore, comfort one another with these words” (1 Thes. 4:16-18; the word rapture is derived from catch up (Gr. harpazo) in verse 17).</p>
<p>In Paul’s preaching to the Thessalonians, and also in his subsequent letter to them, a clear promise was made that the Lord Jesus would remove the Christians before the revelation of the Antichrist and the commencement of the judgements of the Day of the Lord during the great tribulation. He exhorted them “to wait for [God’s] Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come” (1 Thes 1:10). “For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thes. 5:9).</p>
<p>As in the case of Noah and Lot, the Christians will be saved from hour of God’s wrath over a sinful world. They will escape the time of judgement by way of the rapture, as promised by Jesus in His Olivet Discourse: “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man” (Lk. 21:36). Those who pursue a false, humanistic peace outside Christ will not escape the judgements of the tribulation. The destruction of the Antichrist’s reign of terror and the judgements of God will suddenly befall them (1 Thes. 5:3).</p>
<p>The congregation in Thessalonica believed this exposition of end-time events. They were eagerly looking forward to the salvation that the Lord Jesus promised to them through the rapture. They had a “blessed hope” to look forward to (Titus 2:13). In terms of this expectation they comforted and exhorted one another to remain faithful to the Lord.<br />

&lt;blockquote&gt;The race to make sure every African will be able to have affordable internet in order to view the anti-Christ perform on their cell phone is on. Also how will them bad guys connect the world? through the internet? FIFA was a test to see if we could do it from SA, which was a given&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Some one told me the other day there was a discussion on radio 702. The Government has a deal with India to import laptop computers at R175-00 EA but SA wants it cheaper and it will be sold at about R300 to every University going student and also to High school children and make it a compulsary. I will go scratch around for exact info.]]></description>
