The Crown of Life
(Copyright) by Martin G. Collins (Charlotte, North Carolina) Some call the Tower of London “the Cradle of the English Race.” It is well named, for it was there that England had her beginnings as a nation. It is the oldest palace, fortress, and prison in Europe, dating back 900 years. Housed within its walls in the underground Jewel House beneath the Waterloo Barracks are the Crown Jewels of England. The incomparable collection of crowns, scepters, orbs, swords, and other regalia is displayed in a specially designed vault and display case surrounded by heavy security. As one walks into the vault, […]
Pentecost’s Connections
(Copyright) by Rich Traver (Clifton, Colorado) In the previous edition of the Echoes of the Word, we considered the origins of what is commonly called “the LORD’s Supper” having been derived from the Passover memorial observed by Jesus and His 12 disciples. Not every denomination is candid with that fact, though they see what they do as an essential expression of faith. That association is further obscured by the times when it’s thought to be ‘observed’: weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually. An example of each can be found in the present array of practices. One group even provides a situation […]
Saving Knowledge Kills
(Copyright) by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) Do you have saving knowledge? Do you know everything you need to know to be saved? Nearly every Christian in the world just shouted a resounding “absolutely!” And all of them are dead in their sins. Because saving knowledge does not exist. It’s a myth. It’s as likely to save you as the Easter Bunny. You believe that you have the right doctrines for salvation; and you couldn’t be more wrong. Salvation actually has very little to do with beliefs, and everything to do with belief. And almost nothing to do with doctrines. Revelation 2:24-25 But unto you I say, and […]
Veil the Deception, Harvest Souls – Trumpets the Dragon
(Copyright) by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina) Shroud the Fraud, words have meaning: All Sexual Perverts are to be called “gay” or “LGBT.” The Veil: Licenses all the Dragon’s faithful and some dimwitted, Right, Left and Religious to plant – spiritual Poison – in hearts and minds. Removing the Veil and referring to Sexual Perverts as Sexual Perverts will Kill the Dragon. Praise the Dragons faithful in Media, Education, and Politics. They will Condemn those who, speak the truth, without the Veil. When Media: Uses the Veil “gay” and “LGBT” seeking opinions regarding what Americans think about “Sexual Perverts” they […]
Sky Tower Hit – Discovery Site Down, Now Up
(Copyright 2008) by Jonathan Gray (Thames, New Zealand) First, I want to apologize and tell you what happened yesterday. Just as this newsletter went to you, a severe electric storm cut all communication through the Sky Tower and brought our site down so you could not reach it. But – good news – it has just gone back up – functioning fully again, so I am resending you this important message so you can now access the site. You are about to hear some fascinating news. But first, did you catch what’s being planned for Europe? There’ll be fireworks over this, you can be […]
Was Jesus Created?
(Copyright) by BibleStudy.org (Farmington, Michigan) Was Jesus Christ created by God the Father? Did the Lord have a beginning just like all the angels? On the other hand, has he always existed as a member of the Godhead? How is Jesus the firstborn among many brethren? Some believers think that Jesus, the Word of God, was created by the Father somewhere in the eternal past. One of the proof texts used to support this theory that Christ was made (and therefore did not always exist like the Father) is in Revelation 3. Revelation 3:14 states “These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the […]
The “King James Only” Movement
(Copyright 2003) by Wayne Schatzle (West Chester, Ohio) Over the years I have heard of more than a few curious beliefs extent in religious circles today. One that pops up every so often is: “The King James Version {KJV} is the only acceptable Bible translation Christians should use.” The argument is that “modern” translations {since 1901} are New age propaganda tools of the anti-christ to prepare the world to accept the end time, one world apostate church. Supposedly, there is a hidden alliance between all publishers of modern translations and the new age movement with ties to occult and homosexual […]
The ‘X’ Mark
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) Elon Musk has stirred up some controversy over his purchase of Twitter and his recent Twitter file revelations. While his actions are applauded by many conservative thinkers, there are those who question his motivations for gaining control of the Twitter platform which is a kind of “public square.” Mark Moss posted a video where he digs into some possible reasons for Elon’s Twitter purchase. This is an important video for prophecy watchers to be aware of. Before you watch the video linked below, there is something that we must first explore. Otherwise, the Mark Moss […]

It’s 2:22 a.m. and I’m on my second cup of coffee. I started writing at bar time. Last call for common sense. I haven’t had a drink to drop.

Nuclear Foreplay
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) This article is for Mature Audiences only. The reality presented in the following video will be coming to a war theatre near you. Do NOT watch if you are unwilling to look at the hard facts of the threat of nuclear annihilation. If God is the same today as yesterday, then what about men? The thing that drove men who lived centuries ago is the same thing that drives men today: TESTOSTERONE. Don’t believe me? The ultimate weapon today is a nuclear armed missile. A missile is a modern-day phallic symbol. The world has gone M.A.D. (Mutual Assured […]
VACCINATED and PARANOID: State, Media and CDC Panic and Screamers
(Copyright) by Richard Frates (Easley, South Carolina) The Covid-19 Vaccinated for protection insanely believe – they are Not protected regardless of being vaccinated? So why do the – vaccinated and paranoid – insist that others be vaccinated? Answer: So, they can also believe they are really Not vaccinated or protected? And condemn others who are Not Vaccinated and Not Paranoid? Unvaccinated Sweden Bans sick Vaccinated Israelis – spreading the Covid-19 virus. Fearful and Vaccinated Denmark – Bans Un-Vaccinated Americans. America Bans Freedom of Speech – Restricts the Un-Masked and Un-Vaccinated. Plunges the nation into debt to fight the bug.

Two Suspects Arrested Over Rubber Band Plot to Terrorize Airline Passengers
(Copyright 2006) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) How is it possible for Americans to simply resign themselves to a state of acceptance as BIG Brother strips away personal freedoms? Homeland Security measures are accepted with few questions raised. My neighbor told me two days ago that he is willing to give up “certain” freedoms in order to feel safe when flying. What a tragic state we are in as a nation. The following farfetched scenario shows what happens in 2026 when BIG Brother is the bully on the block and any bullying around by those who are considered bullies will […]

We walk by it without even being affected one bit. And since when is that a good thing?

Have Patience with Me
(Copyright) by Annie Poonen (Bangalore, India) “Have patience with me,” cried the slave as he begged his fellow-slave for mercy (Matt.18:29). This is also the unspoken cry that comes to us as housewives and mothers from many of those with whom we have to do each day. But we need to be sensitive in our spirits if we are to hear that cry – for it is unspoken. It may be that our children are slow at learning something that we have repeatedly been trying to teach them, and we are sorely tempted to become impatient with them. If we could hear […]
Nature’s Sports Car
(Copyright) by David Rives (Lewisburg, Tennessee) The fastest land animal in the world makes its home on the Savannahs in Africa alongside elephants, hippos, and rhinos. A very small population of a sub-species also lives in eastern Iran. That mammal, of course, is the Cheetah. This Cheetah is famous for its speed. While hunting it can reach top speeds of 45 to 70 miles per hour in just three seconds. Even though they’re the fastest, their prey is often able to escape because antelope and gazelle can change direction very quickly and have greater stamina than a Cheetah’s short bursts. Cheetahs always […]
Rethinking Easter
(Copyright) by Wayne Schatzle (West Chester, Ohio) Supposedly the holiest time of the year is the Easter season. It is interesting that the very word Easter, in fact has nothing to do with Christ at all. It is a name of a pagan fertility goddess of the spring, also called Astarte, or Ishtar. Actually, God instructed His people to not even have the names of other gods on their lips {Joshua 23}. Even the various trappings of colored eggs and rabbits are additional tokens of fertility and reproduction, which we ignorantly teach to our unsuspecting children. But doesn’t it all point […]
Considerations on WHEN a Day Begins?
(Copyright) by Rich Traver (Clifton, Colorado) l Morning & evening: both are parts of a “full day” [Genesis 1:5, 8, 13, 19, 23 & 31] The ‘evening (mentioned first) is an integral part of the whole “day”. l Three meanings of “Day”: 24-hours / daylight portion / era of time l Which part of the day does the night portion fall within? Before or after? If it’s the second part of the 24-hour “day” interval, that creates numerous problems. l Entombment completion: rushed to finish before sundown. [Lk.23:54; Mk.15:42] Their burial efforts were hastened on account of the approaching Sabbath. That wouldn’t be […]

Died Suddenly – Not Blood, Blood Clots
(Copyright) by Rich Traver (Clifton, Colorado) This is a phenomenon that’s occurring widely. Something not seen in the past. These ‘not blood’ clots are being encountered by embalmers all over, with all saying the same, they have never seen such a thing. They are not made of blood compounds, but some other strange ‘stuff’. An undertaker here in Grand Junction, Colorado did a news piece for local TV having encountered the same. That was quickly removed from airing. This is real and is something that the ‘vaxxed’ people should be aware of. Add this to the myocarditis effect, and we have […]

The Frightening Prospects of a Major Political Party Turning its Back on God
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the Russian-born Nobel prize winning laureate, suffered for eight years in a Soviet labor camp because he refused to acquiesce to the tyranny of the Marxist Soviet regime. In explaining how this could have happened in his beloved Christian homeland, he wrote, If I was asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous Revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to report, “Men have forgotten God; that is why all this has happened.” The DNC’s Official Rejection […]

(Copyright) by Laura Lee (Bismarck, North Dakota) I received the following question from Jeanine Kersey Russell of North Dakota: “I have a question. Is there a cotton only in clothing or bedding that is part of your church’s belief.” I believe where people get this from is: Lev 19:19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee. Deu 22:11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together. To […]
This Tomb Called Prison
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) Echoes are heard within the tomb my mind is unable to escape. Its darkness embraces and smothers the human spirit. Light is not permitted beyond a thick coal black canvass called depression. The words have no meaning that I hear each day. The people I see beyond the steel door that holds me captive have no purpose. Quiet moments are not permitted. There is no beauty in this world. There is no exit. Once this world is entered, there is no escape. Hate has found a home. Anger thrives and grows. Madness is a constant companion […]
End Times
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) In the Book of Revelation, the 7th seal reveals the 7 trumpets. In chapter eight, the first four sound. At the end of chapter eight, the last three trumpets are then called “woes.” Thus, the 7 trumpets are broken into a four-three pattern. This pattern is a KEY clue to how and when the 7 trumpets will sound. It so happens that the seven annual Sabbaths listed in Leviticus 23 also fall in a four-three pattern according to the Jewish civil year which begins on the Feast of Trumpets. Consequently, the First Trumpet will sound on a future […]

Overwhelmed with Joy and Love
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) Sarah Pierpont Edwards attended the Congregational Church in Northampton MA, which was pastored by her husband, Jonathan Edwards. Women were supposed to remain silent in the Puritan/Congregational churches, but a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit was occurring (the Great Awakening) and she could hardly contain herself at times. “I could scarcely refrain from leaping with transports of joy,” she exclaimed. One day she was so overwhelmed by God’s presence that she could no longer stand but sank to the floor. It happened as she listened to a visiting minister lament that God’s children should […]
The War in Afghanistan and American Complacency
(Copyright) by Richard Markland (London, Ohio) Ask any given American what has been their view of the country’s involvement in Afghanistan, and most people will say it was time for America’s presence to end. It’s a generic and shallow response without consideration for the complexities of both the short and long term consequences involved. What objective has been successfully achieved when witnessing the Taliban retake territory, it once held? What justifiable pride is there when looking at the thousands of American lives that have been sacrificed, and lifelong injuries, both physically and emotionally for those who were sent thousands of miles […]
Differentiating Spiritual Power and Soul Power
(Copyright) by Zac Poonen (Bangalore, India) In 1 Corinthians 2:14, 15, we read of “the natural (soulish) man” and “he who is spiritual“. There is a vast difference between a soulish Christian and a spiritual Christian. Human cleverness cannot understand this, as it says there: “A natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one.” The mind and the spirit are as different as the eye and the ear. And just as […]
Wandering the Wilderness in Faith
(Copyright) by John W. Ritenbaugh (Lancaster, South Carolina) By the time the children of Israel reached the banks of the Jordan River, the older generation whom God had freed from slavery in Egypt had died in the wilderness. The story of their journey through the wilderness shows that they never overcame their slave mentality, the mindset they brought with them from Egypt. Their thinking—and thus their attitudes and conduct—constantly reverted to the way their bondage in Egypt had molded it. Despite witnessing awesome miracles, enduring terrible plagues that demonstrated God’s mercy on them and His punishment of the Egyptians, living “under the […]
‘Don’t weep for the dead; weep for the living.’ – Jeremiah
(Copyright) by Curtis Dahlgren (Stephenson, Michigan) “THE Lord used more ink on the trials of Job than the glories of Solomon,” someone said. IN OTHER WORDS, we need to understand why we are living at such a time as this, why things happen, or, what’s the root cause of all the grief. Joe Biden is a symptom, not the original sin. I hate to be the one to point out the obvious, but there are some challenging times ahead of us. Ignorance of the near future is the worst ignorance of all. In 1860, the Rebs down south overran their headlights […]

America’s Arrogance
(Copyright) by Dwight Fleming (Oroville, California) If you have been following the news on the war in Ukraine, you may wonder if we are getting the truth or a narrative that is geared to maintain our confidence in the policies of Western leaders. It seems that most of these “enlightened” leaders are hell-bent on destroying Russia at the expense of many Ukrainian lives and an unbearable amount of our tax dollars. The main fear now is if this war will lead to a nuclear confrontation with Russia. The sanctions imposed by the West on Russia have primarily boomeranged on the nations […]

A Snapshot of Church History and Mosaic Law
(Copyright) by Avram Yehoshua (Flagstaff, Arizona) Passover (Lev. 23:4-8f.; Mt. 26:26f.) and the 7th day Sabbath (Gen. 2:1-3; Ex. 20:8-11; Lk. 4:16) aren’t observed by most Christians today, but in the days of the Apostles they were (Acts 15:21; 21:20-24; 1st Cor. 5:6-8), which reveals that they kept Mosaic Law. The Church teaches that the Law was nullified at the death of Jesus, but Church History records that for the first 90 years after the resurrection, all Christians kept Passover and the 7th day Sabbath, and walked out their faith in Christ through all the rules of Moses that applied […]
The Feast and God’s People
(Copyright) by David Antion (Pasadena, California) In ancient times the feast was about rejoicing in the fear of the ETERNAL. It was called the feast of the harvest, or feast of Ingathering, Feast of Tabernacles (Tents), or simply,” the feast.” The harvest was complete. Food was plenteous. The work was done, and it was time to rejoice before the Eternal and give thanks to Him and learn to fear to disappoint Him. People in Israel took their tithes of the land—food, wine, and animals– to the temple and ate in the place that God chose to place His Name — the […]

Three Older Ladies

One said, “Sometimes I catch myself with a jar of mayonnaise in my hand in front of the refrigerator and can’t remember whether I need to put it away or start making a sandwich.” The second lady chimed in, “Yes, sometimes I find myself on the landing of the stairs and can’t remember whether I was on my way up or on my way down.” The third one responded, “Well, I’m glad I don’t have that problem; knock on wood,” as she […]
Faith
(Copyright) by David Rives (Lewisburg, Tennessee) This is real…they both require faithHere at David Rives Ministries, we talk a lot about Genesis and how easy it is to read and understand the first book of the Bible. Now, Christians have many different ways that they look at Genesis and a part of our ministry is encouraging them that we don’t have to relegate Genesis to mere fable, myth, or allegory. Genesis was written as literal history! The history of our Universe’s origins, the Bereshit, the beginning. But why do we bother spending so much time discussing this topic? Why is […]

Aftermath (Counter-Intuition)
(Copyright) by Rich Traver (Clifton, Colorado) It occurred to me that there might be a logical explanation for the experience we had at the feast. This might also reflect somewhat on what happened at other sites, this year and last. With the Covid protocols imposed, beginning in the spring of 2020, public gatherings were discouraged. For a time, even things like church services were curtailed to some degree. But what does that have to do with the situation more recently, as restrictions are eased back? My assessment is that while our ‘illustrious health professionals’ became myopic toward one particular virus threat, they […]
The Israel of God
(Copyright) by Charles Whitaker (Charlotte, North Carolina) In Galatians 6:16, the apostle Paul refers to the church as “the Israel of God.” Why? Why not “the Judah of God,” “the Ephraim of God,” or “the Galilee of God?” Why did God not inspire Paul to call the church by Israel’s original name, Jacob—”the Jacob of God?” We can learn much from the names God gives people, places, or things because those names reflect the way He perceives them. What can we learn about God’s church by studying the name Paul used for it in Galatians 6? It was God Himself who first uttered the […]
