Greetings in Jesus…!
So here we are already in February of 2012! I can’t believe how fast things are going now! Well, I just wanted to start out by saying THANK YOU SO MUCH to those of you who are helping this ministry to continue on in this late hour through your prayers and financial support. Really! Here we now have Mitt Romney (a Mormon) who has become a lead Republican conservative for the Presidency of the United States. Can you believe that? And look at the strategy here… John Huntsman (also a Mormon candidate) steps down then endorses Mitt Romney!
Is Mitt Romney a God in Embryo?
What do I mean? Mormonism teaches that God was once a man, but earned his way to godhood and now lives on another planet near a mysterious star called Kolob. There, he is the god of that planet and having sex with his multitudes of wives, creating billions of babies! But these are not normal babies. These are spirit babies! Now, these poor spirit babies need physical bodies so when Mormons get married in the Mormon Temple, these poor spirit babies are beamed down from star base Kolob and enter the babies of Mormon parents.
“As man is, God once was; as God is man may become.” – Lorenzo Snow, 5th LDS Prophet (1898-1901)
“As God’s offspring, we have His attributes in us. We are gods in embryo.” – Ezra Taft Benson (1985-1994)
So Mitt Romney, Glen Beck, and many other Mormon men are planning to become gods on these other planets! Mormon women also hope to become goddesses on these planets kicking out these spirit babies one after another for all eternity.
Is this Christian? No way! But for some reason, much of the world and even some Christians have come to believe Mormonism is really Christian but with just a few quirks.
I think I need to make a few things very clear. Mormonism actually has more parallels with Satanism than parallels with Christianity. This is why we see the pentagram on many of the older Mormon temples such as the one in Salt Lake City. In Anton Levey’s satanic bible there’s a list of the demon’s names and functions. There’s one called Mormo. He is the king of the ghouls or god of the dead. And his followers are called; you guessed it, “Mormons”!
Mormons are obsessed with genealogies of the dead! In their Mormon Temples they do baptisms “in proxy” for the dead! For generations, a part of the secret Mormon ceremonies in their Temples was the chanting of “Pay Lay Ale” This is Hebrew for “wonderful Lucifer.”
So, do you really want a Mormon in the White House? And there’s something else. Have you noticed all the TV commercials promoting Mormonism over the last few months? Why do you suppose this is? Two reasons really. The first is because of Mitt Romney but the second is because of a prophecy. Not a Bible prophecy, but a Mormon prophecy. They call this the “White Horse Prophecy.” The following is that prophecy as brought out by Bill McKeever.
When the Constitution “Hangs by a Thread” – The White Horse Prophecy in Modern Mormonism. (Keep in mind this is NOT a Bible prophecy, but a Mormon prophecy.)
Following the Mormon expulsion from Missouri in 1838, Joseph Smith went to Washington, D.C. “to present to the National Congress the petition of the Saints for a redress of their grievances suffered in Missouri.” Arriving in November 1839, Smith met several powerful politicians, including President Martin Van Buren but left Washington disappointed. Apparently, President Van Buren told him, “Gentlemen, your cause is just, but I can do nothing for you…If I take up for you I shall lose the vote in Missouri.”
Joseph Smith’s frustration led to his predicting divine judgment on the U.S. Government. On page 137 of his book, Quest for Refuge, Mormon Marvin S. Hill wrote, “To secure legal sanction for his call to arms, Smith petitioned Congress to form Nauvoo into a federal district and grant him authority to command federal troops in defense of the city. He warned his closest friends that ‘if Congress will not hear our petition and grant us protection, they will be broken up as a government, and God shall damn them, and there shall be nothing left of them—not even a grease spot.’” Needless to say, Congress ignored his petition and life went on.
Smith’s prediction, the “White Horse Prophecy,” was not put in writing at the time, but two Mormons, Edwin Rushton and Theodore Turley, said they heard Smith give this prediction at Smith’s home on May 6, 1843. Smith predicted that the Constitution of the United States will “hang by a thread.” It will be “preserved and saved” by a White Horse, A.K.A. the Mormon Church.
The prophecy also speaks of a revolution that “will take place in America,” leaving it “without a supreme government.” There will be no peace except “in the Rocky Mountains. England, for a time, will be neutral during this conflict and will only intervene to stop the shedding of blood.” It also states that “the two Popes, Greek and Catholic, will come together and be united.”
While 6th LDS President Joseph F. Smith in October 1918, said “it was never spoken by the prophet in the manner in which they [Rushton and Turley] have put it forth.” “It is simply false.” However, in 1855, Brigham Young stated “when the Constitution of the United States hangs, as it were upon a single thread, they will have to call for the ‘Mormon Elders to save it from utter destruction; and they will step forth and do it.” In 1868, Young again referred to the Prophecy saying, “How long will it be before the words of the prophet Joseph will be fulfilled? He said if the Constitution of the United States were saved at all it must be done by this people. It will not be many years before these words come to pass.”
In October 1942, J. Reuben Clark, a Mormon apostle, said, “You and I have heard all our lives that the time may come when the Constitution may hang by a thread. I do not know whether it is a thread, or a small rope by which it now hangs, but I do know that whether it shall live or die is now in the balance.” In 1961, Ezra Taft Benson stated, “In connection with attack on the United States, the Lord told the Prophet Joseph Smith there would be an attempt to overthrow the country by destroying the Constitution. Joseph Smith predicted that the time would come when the Constitution would hang, as it were, by a thread, and at that time “this people will step forth and save it from the threatened destruction.” In 1963 Benson again confirmed the Prophecy.
In his U.S. presidency bid in 2000, Utah Senator Orrin Hatch referred to the prophecy saying, “I’ve never seen it worse than this, where the Constitution literally is hanging by a thread.”
In November 2006, Susan Easton Black, a BYU Professor stated, “the prophecy as a whole is false.” Her blanket denial seems incredibly inconsistent in light of the above statements. If LDS leaders felt the prophecy “as a whole” is false, why keep bring it up?
Conservative talk-show host Glenn Beck also referred to the “hang by a thread” portion of the White Horse Prophecy when interviewed by Fox host Bill O’Reilly. On January 6, 2010, the LDS Church issued this statement: “The so-called ‘White Horse Prophecy’ is based on accounts that have not been substantiated by historical research and is not embraced as Church doctrine.” The claim that it is not “embraced as Church doctrine” does not explain why so many LDS leaders have referred to it. Would these leaders even bother to speak of the prophecy if they really didn’t believe at least portions were true? Words like “doctrine” and “official” have little meaning given the fact that many aspects of Mormonism are believed to be true by members, even though a particular teaching may never be described as “binding” or “official.”
Modern Mormons tend to ignore the more bizarre, apocalyptic language of the White Horse prophecy. The context of the “hang by a thread” phrase has been jettisoned, but the phrase itself has not. How each Mormon politician views his or herself as the fulfillment of this prediction must be judged on a case-to-case basis; however, there can be no denying that to many, Smith’s prediction is taken very seriously and is very much a part of the Mormon political landscape.

We’ve Lost Another…Dave Hunt
No, Dave has not gone home to be with the Lord yet but he has suffered a number of strokes and can no longer continue in the ministry the Lord had him start. The Berean Call.
Dave is now under close health supervision 24-7 and must be carried around from place to place. This is a man I’ve always held in great esteem. He has authored many books including The God-Makers along with the co-author Ed Decker, which was also made into a film and shown around this country. Between the book and the film, this was the first time masses of Christians learned Mormonism was not only not just another Christian denomination, but a major end-times cult.
I had the privilege of being the first one to interview Dave on live radio. This was just shortly after he wrote the book: The Seduction of Christianity. This one really hit the spiritual fan! He named names of many of the false teachers and false prophets within the Church. Names that are still prominent today. Yes, we do still have many predators in our pulpits. But thanks to Dave, a few less.
During times talking with Dave not on the air, I got to know this man better. He had hiked all over the Sierras. He also loved fishing. I remember telling him how I spent much of an afternoon fishing at a river inlet into Rampart Reservoir after hiking at least a mile during the Winter. I caught only one fish but it was big and after putting him on my stringer, he continued jumping out of the water over and over for at least a couple more hours. Then I let him go. After telling Dave of this, he jumped on my case saying, “Why didn’t you keep him?” I told Dave I had gain a respect for this lively trout and he understood completely.
Dave’s ministry, The Berean Call, still exists with help from others. You might pray it will continue.
In light of all that is taking place right now concerning the cult of Mormonism, I’d like to make the DVD entitled: The God-Makers available for a gift of any amount this month. That is, unless you are a Mormon. For you, it’s absolutely free!
Will Germany and Syria Sleep Together?
Traditionally it‘s been taught that the 10 Kings of Daniel and Revelation will be 10 nations from the European Union– but the Bible says differently! The Bible states clearly that in the latter days there will be ten kings–dead center of the events in the 70th Week of Daniel.
”As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise;” Dan. 7:24
“And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.” Rev. 17:12
These ten kings first show up in the image of the beast in Daniel 2. A typical description by Bible prophecy teachers usually looks something like this:
The 4 World Empires: Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Grecian, ½ each Western/Eastern Roman Empire.
Daniel 2′s image is a Gentile time-line of the entire future of man on earth. It accurately predicts the four major kingdoms that ruled the world from the time the prophecy was given until Christ sets up his Millennial Kingdom on earth. As predicted, Babylon (the head), the ruler at the time, was conquered by the Meads/Persians (the two arms) who were conquered by Greece (the belly) who was conquered by Rome (the legs). Rome eventually split and had 2 capitals– Rome (West) and Constan-tinople (East). This division is represented by the two legs in Daniel’s image. The toes in Daniel’s image represent the same 10 Kings of Daniel 7 and Rev 17. They are the Kings who will come together post-Rapture, and make a peace treaty with Israel for seven years. Dan. 9:24-27
But one important factor has been overlooked by almost everyone teaching these verses. There are only 5 toes coming out of the European side of the statue, not 10. The other 5 toes come from the eastern leg, the Arabs. This explains why the Bible says the two groups are completely different and won’t adhere to each other.
“And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so some of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will be brittle. And in that you saw the iron mixed with common clay, they will combine with one another in the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, even as iron does not combine with pottery.” Dan. 2:42-43
The Europeans and the Arabs will be forced into a shaky 7-year agreement. This alliance is brought about by the reemergence of Israel as a powerhouse in the post-Rapture chaos.
At that time Israel will have begun wiping out the nations around her with her powerful army.
“In that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot among pieces of wood and a flaming torch among sheaves, so they will consume on the right hand and on the left all the surrounding peoples, while the inhabitants of Jerusalem again dwell on their own sites in Jerusalem.” Zec. 12:6
”… an exceedingly great army” Eze. 37:10
With the Arabs screaming and Israel having the upper hand, the 10 unequally yoked European and Arab nations will agree to protect Israel… if she will just stop her carnage! Israel agrees to peace from a position of strength!
So who are these 10 nations? 5 from Daniel’s western leg could be: 1. Germany. 2. France. 3. Italy. 4. Spain . 5. England or Portugal. From Daniel’s eastern leg could be: 1. Iraq. 2. Syria. 3. Turkey. 4. Egypt. 5. Jordan or Saudi Arabia.
Iran will have been wiped out by the Russian/Iranian invasion–that takes place just after the Rapture (Eze. 38 & 39). But who actually ends up in the two groups of five is not 100% clear in scripture…other than the area from which they come– Europe or the Middle East. And don’t forget that halfway through the 7 year peace agreement, the World Leader’s peace treaty is broken and the Jews experience the worst Jewish massacre in all of history. (Dan. 9:27; Mat. 24:21).
“For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall.” Mat. 24:21
And never forget that the Bible says ALL of the end-time nations that come against Israel are Muslim! Sorta nails down who the enemy is!
Communist North Korea…
Along the prophetic path for a one world government is the plan to turn America into a communist Amerika. You probably saw on the news when the leader of Communist North Korea Kim Jong IL died and we saw all those people (including military) weeping and wailing uncontrollably, yet we didn’t see any tears. Looked pretty fake! And it was! As it turned out, they were threatened with imprisonment in work camps if they didn’t (perform) well enough. Some didn’t and were given a sentence of 6 months hard labor in these work camps. Many may not leave these camps alive!
Communist countries (which is the agenda for this one) must operate (like the cults) with much deception. In North Korea, you’ll find traffic lights as we have here but they don’t really work. They’re just for show. Why? They can’t even afford the electricity.
Purgatory….Did the Pope say, “Oops”?
First let’s start with the Pope’s statement proving there is no early church belief that Purgatory existed. “We do not need to examine here the complex historical paths of this [purgatory] development; it is enough to ask what it actually means.” (Sep Salvi 45). So now that we’ve established that it really doesn’t exist in the Bible, in 2007 the Pope appeared to have changed his mind on how Purgatory really works. It is no longer a place people go to work out their salvation, but it’s more like a burning sensation…..
In his 2007 encyclical Spe salvi, Pope Benedict XVI uses Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 3:12–15 to describe the purgation of souls after death where he says some people are “saved, but only as through fire” through Christ’s gaze after their death.
In paragraph 47, the Pope states, “Some recent theologians are of the opinion that the fire which both burns and saves is Christ himself, the Judge and Savior. The encounter with him is the decisive act of judgment. Before his gaze all falsehood melts away. This encounter with him, as it burns us, transforms and frees us, allowing us to become truly ourselves.” And, “At the moment of judgment we experience and we absorb the overwhelming power of his love over all the evil in the world and in ourselves. The pain of love becomes our salvation and our joy. It is clear that we cannot calculate the “duration” of this transforming burning in terms of the chronological measurements of this world.” (This was clearly something they could formerly calculate depending upon how many/much Indulgences a person purchased to get their relatives out of Purgatory. Now he states, “The judgment of God is hope, both because it is justice and because it is grace. If it were merely grace, making all earthly things cease to matter, God would still owe us an answer to the question about justice.” I personally don’t believe God “owes” us anything. We owe Him our love, devotion, and undying worship.” By the way, purgatory never did exist to begin with. -Jim
Just Another Early Wake-up Call for Jim…
Last month, I had aired my interview with Darlene Sowa, author of the book, Rebuilding the Veil. Early the next morning I was awakened by a call from a very irate Catholic man who ranted and raved at me for at least 2 minutes. Finally as he had to draw a breath, I asked him, “is this what you called me for?” He went on to rant and rave more, but finally I broke through and asked the question, ”why do you pray to Mary in the first place, is the Catholic God too busy?” That caught him off guard for a moment while I brought up other Catholic Doctrine, which he had no answer for. By the way, his answer to praying to Mary was, “don’t you ever ask people to pray for you?” I said, “sure, but only while they’re on the earth.” After they pass over, this is communication with the dead, which is called necromancy and strictly forbidden by God. We continue for almost a half hour longer and concluded that he could call me back any other time in the future. But my point here is this book and interview has really hit the spiritual fan. All 3 groups, Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses and Roman Catholicism consider the others as cults but never themselves. To be categorized as a cult gets many upset. But my phone is still open for these irate callers. I am not an untouchable. If you are interested in receiving a copy of the book in CD/MP3, DVD, or paper format, please make sure you let us know which format you want when making your request for a donation of any amount.
Catholicism: The Church on Haunted Hill…
I know many of you are concerned with the salvation or your Catholic friends and family. Many Catholics consider themselves to be Christians but you know they need to be born-again. The official teaching of the Catholic Church is that babies are born again when sprinkled with holy water shortly after their birth. Sometimes in order to reach out to Catholic people is to show them something so deep in reference to their church that they’ve never been shown before. Last month, I aired just that. It was with Bill Schnoebelen. Bill was on a spiritual journey for many years of his life before he finally got saved. Just one of many of his experiences was becoming a Catholic priest. It was a requirement to become a satanic high priest!
In the DVD, Catholicism: The Church on Haunted Hill, Bill brings out areas concerning the Catholic Church few have heard of. It’s very powerful and has a clear message of salvation. If you would like a copy to give to your unsaved Catholic friends, it’s available for a gift of any amount this month.
2011 The Year the Earth Went Wild!
Last month I aired an expose’ on just how the weather was so wild last year. Record breaking tornadoes, hurricanes, fires, floods, and so much more! Even the History Channel did a special on this!
Even though we’re not in the tribulation period, when you see a recap of all that took place last year, it looks like it could soon begin. What’s the best way to gauge what this year will hold? By looking at last year’s earth changing events. If you want to convince someone we are in the end times to bring them to the Lord, you might want to show them this DVD. It’s available this month for a gift of any amount.
The Soon Coming Paradigm Shift?
Just what is a paradigm shift? It’s when everything changes in people’s thoughts attitudes and actions. Now we know this will take place just after the rapture of the Church as this world enters into the tribulation period. Those who get saved during that time will be greatly hated and many are likely to be killed. But what about before then? What about now? Already as the financial crisis has started to kick in, people are doing things they wouldn’t normally even think of doing. I caught on the news the other night a story where a young man and woman came upon a car where a man had shot himself in. After they had stolen what money and credit cards he had, they cut off the man’s stiffened finger to also take the gun he used. After being caught and questioned as to why they did this horrendous act, they simply replied, they thought they could sell the gun. They needed to pay their rent and utility bill. If this kind of thing has become the norm for some today, what will it be like when things really go bad! When people are hungry! And what we hear on the news is only a small percentage of what else is really taking place.
A few months ago, I had aired something entitled: The Illuminati’s Plan for 2012 & Beyond with Doc. Marquis but recently, I obtained a special edition of this expose’ with emphasis near the end on this coming paradigm shift, which I also aired. When there’s a storm coming, it’s always wise to learn how big it might be in order to prepare. If you would like to obtain a copy of this DVD, it too is available for a gift of any amount this month. Just ask for the DVD on the Paradigm Shift.
Those No Heresy Stickers…
Last month we sent everyone who receives this newsletter a small No Heresy sticker. What did you do with yours? Throw it away? Hope not! Back in the 70’s someone came up with a little yellow bumper sticker that said “I Found It.” Those things were all over the place! When someone asked, what did you find? They were told; Jesus Christ! Have you met Him yet? A whole lot of people got saved because of that small idea. When people see this little No Heresy sticker made up in the format of what might be found on a no parking sign or whatever, they may just ask you about it. You can put these anywhere from on your Bible to your hat or any other place you can think of. If you would like 2-3 more, let me know. They’re free!
The 30 Club…
Just a reminder, if you would like to become a part of our 30 Club and start receiving everything aired each month, you can do this with a gift of $30.00 or more each month. Most of the time, these are DVDs which is an $80.00 value. And as always, you are encouraged to make copies and share with others! And where else are you going to find this type of information getting out in this late hour? Just let us know when you write, call, or email me at: cultbuster7@yahoo.com or through our website at: cultivateministries.org
