Letter to our Friends - September 8, 2023

Leonard V. Johnson

Pastor and Founder

Our beloved Brethren and Friends in Christ:

Greetings from the West Coast of Florida.

We are continuing to translate additional audio articles, audiobooks, and booklets via AI (which, according to Kamala Harris, ‘it means artificial intelligence’) from English into Khmer, Swahili, and Dutch (for our brethren and friends in Belgium). Especially, an article we believe is of grave importance as the tiny nation in the Middle East, Israel, is gearing up for WAR! – ‘Blow the Trumpet!’ You are able to find our audio sermons, articles, books, and booklets on our Soundcloud Radio channel - https://soundcloud.com/leonard-johnson-199529372.

Fall Holy Days 2023

Feast of Trumpets ‘23

The first is the Feast of Trumpets which will be from sunset September 15th through to sunset September 16th.

The LORD God’s holy day after is the Day of Atonement which runs from sunset September 24th through to sunset September 25th.

And, then the Feast of Tabernacles is from sunset September 29th and continues until sunset of the Last Great Day – which is October 7th.

Prudence

Our LORD God – through the blessed wisdom of King Solomon – has told us, brethren, to be prudent. “A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished” – Proverbs 22:3.

A great many so-called Christians are continuing to be “simple.” Meaning – as we get closer to the soon-coming end of this present evil age, they continue to proclaim and teach subjects that rile the anger of the Leftist Censorship Industrial Complex! We are told in God’s living word – in no uncertain terms – that there will be those who seek our life, who lay snares for us, and speak of our destruction! – cf. Psalm 38:12. Our very Lord Jesus says, “’ And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake.’” Why purposefully give our enemies an opportunity to attack us!? Sadly, a great many of these so-called Christians want to play the victim, so that they can turn around and say to their group of people – “Satan is attacking us!”

Yes, we are to be “bold as a lion” (Proverbs 28:1), but let us not be ignorant of the fact that Satan the devil DOES WANT any opportunity to attack us! We should use prudence when proclaiming and teaching God’s living truth! – especially in this period of time that our Lord Jesus has called ‘the beginning of sorrow.’

The Apostle Paul – through the inspiration of God’s Spirit – says, “above all, taking the SHIELD OF FAITH with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one” – Ephesians 6:16. Whether that wicked one is Satan the devil, or those people who do the bidding of this end-time Leftist Censorship Industrial Complex!

True Christians understand that we have been sent out into a world that has wolves that want to rip us to shreds! Our Lord Jesus explained, “’ Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.’” The word serpents here is the same Greek word used for Satan the devil – ophis. We are to be wise to the many tactics that Satan the devil uses to attack us! – including the American online video-sharing and social media platform known as YouTube. Faith and prudence MUST go together! Brethren, we are the confessed servants of our Lord Jesus Christ, and prudence must not lead us to worldly alliances and sole dependence upon a sinful circle – such as Google and YouTube. We must be aware of wise compromises with this evil world for our own personal safety and peace. And in this regard to our Lord Jesus’ Church, we should observe this.

I have been witness to certain religious leaders who had rejected the securities which prudence would counsel. For our LORD God says we are NOT to tempt Him! – cf. Deuteronomy 6:16. They would not call on a physician in times of sickness. That was a serious mistake! We must not purposefully throw ourselves into peril on the idea that angels have charge concerning us. We MUST NOT tempt the LORD our God. If faithful servants of our Lord Jesus do not attend to the dictates of prudence they will suffer because of it, and they might very well diminish the ‘light’ that we are to shine to the world. Unfortunately, because we live in this present evil age, we must march through this vast wilderness beside unbelievers. The Lord our God’s religion is not fatalism. We are to guide our affairs with discretion. – cf. Psalm 112:5. Let us always pray, “Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings, From the wicked who oppress me, From my deadly enemies who surround me” – Psalm 17:8-9.

However, THERE ARE TIMES when we must act with a boldness that could not be justified in a court of prudence. Thus, then, there are times when we must renounce the “counseling” of this present evil age and, step boldly with the SHIELD OF FAITH, and cry out to the LORD God, as King Asa did, “O LORD our God, for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude.” For this reason, we here at the Church of Jesus Christ Online Ministries and our affiliated churches have a plethora of different online video-sharing and social media platforms, such as UGETube, BitChute, and Godtube.

Sadly, we are continuing to witness more and more censorship from what can be called the Leftist Censorship Industrial Complex. The Apostle Paul tells us, “For the wrath of God IS REVEALED FROM HEAVEN against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress [who censor] the truth in unrighteousness” – Romans 1:18.

And, Google and YouTube continue to suppress God’s living Word, Truth, and Plan in unrighteousness!

Yet, brethren, we do not give up in times of adversity. If one proclamation door closes or is partially blocked, we strive to go through other doors (cf. Revelation 3:7-8), as the other listed platforms show us analytically. This is also why we use our Soundcloud Radio platform – COJCOM.

Some World News In Relation To Biblical Prophecy

Many more are witnessing that the US dollar dominance in international trade is continuing to be reduced (See: ZeroHedge – ‘The Endgame Is Clear’ – Gold’s Role As Dollar Hegemony Falls’).

Yes, there are major steps being taken to topple the dominance of the US dollar. And, gold looks to be involved. United States of America’s sanction policies and our growing national debt (which is currently at $32.9 Trillion and counting!) will have costs greater than those that most truly understand – cf. Habakkuk 2:6-8.

It is prophesied that a “United States of Europe” will help topple the US dollar – it will not be just the alliance of the BRICS nations. God’s living word shows us that there will be a global acceptance (though temporary) of a powerful European civic leader that shall arise with flattery –

“Then the king [a final prophesied ‘king of the North’] shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath [the prophesied Day of the Lord] has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done.

37) He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women [will this prophesied final ‘king of the North’ proclaim himself a homosexual!?], nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all.”

Recall, that Antiochus IV, who took upon himself the title Epiphanes, which means “god manifest,” had proclaimed himself to be Zeus.

38) But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses [military strength]; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. 39) Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses [against the greatest and strongest militaries in the world – i.e. the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and Egypt] with a foreign god, …”

In 2019, I had spoken of ‘dark matter.’ The Europeans have been working hard on aspects of dark matter in their Large Hadron Collider (LHC). They also want something even larger than their current LHC (See: ‘CERN Wants to Build a Bigger, Badder Particle Collider’). Could this scientific technology be used – eventually – for military purposes in ‘honoring a god of fortresses’!?

“ … and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain” – Daniel 11:36-39.

“He [a final European ‘king of the North’] shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels” – verse 43.

Certainly, in this end time, the ‘strongest fortresses’ are the United States of America and her Anglo-descended allies. With China and Russia affirming their economic cooperation─ at least for the next several years, Asia will certainly assist the final ‘king of the North’ and receive some divided lands for payment.

Soon the US dollar will topple! Are you paying attention to what is going on in this world!? It will not end well for the United States of America and our British-descended allies – possibly within the next decade.

In Europe, changes are continuing. France took another step against Islamic dress. (See: BBC – ‘French state schools turn away dozens of girls wearing Muslem abaya dress’).

Historically, when Europe takes steps against Islam, it tends to take steps closer to the Roman Catholic Church. What does God’s living word teach us concerning the future between Europe and Islam? Ultimately, a final European ‘king of the North’ will essentially push Islam out of Europe and will even attack certain Islamic-led lands –

Minister Michael C. Garrett writes –

“If you would, turn to Verse 40 [Daniel 11] King James English– “’ And at the time of the end shall the king of the South push at him: and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.’” – you know, with the phrase from the King James Version, “push at him,” the people of the Church has wrestled with that, some have said, “Well, that will be a future oil embargo.” Maybe. Or, something this, something that. Well, I’m gonna offer today an idea maybe you’ve never thought of. And this is just a thought – just a possibility. And with time, we’ll know. But I’m asking you to sort of consider the possibility. What if this ‘pushing’ of this Islamic confederation at the king of the North – what if it were indeed attacked by Islamic terrorists upon Israel Britain, and the United States!? You know we really don’t appreciate the fact that Europe really is our ally! And we have close ties with them! And I know in the old days, there was always this idea that Europe and the United States would come to hate each other! But I don’t know if that is necessarily true. I’m just offering this as an idea – what if this ‘pushing’ were a series of Islamic terrorist nuclear explosions, electromagnetic pulse weapons, explosions that would wipe out our infrastructure!? And what if then, the Islamists said, “Europe, now we’re coming after you!” Maybe that is the pushing, maybe that is the threat!? But we do know for sure – it says the king of the North will come at him with powerful military forces! Verse 41 – “’ He shall also enter the Glorious Land, …’” – meaning, the Middle East, meaning Jerusalem. “…’ And many countries shall be overthrown, but these shall escape from his hand: …’” – it specifically says that Edom (which we believe to be Turkey), Moab (which we believe is sort of Syria and Iraq), and the chief of the children of Ammon (or Jordan). It says these people will not first incur the wrath of Europe! And so back in the old days, the ministers and college professors liked to talk about this future invasion coming down through Greece, or Turkey. But, many of their crusades, came by land and by sea. However, it says they will not come down through Greece or Turkey, but instead, Verse 42 – “’ He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.’”

[We] think this implies that the invasion of the Middle East by the European power will be across the Mediterranean and onto the shores of Egypt.”

(Garrett, M.C., Prophecy Series – The Last Crusade, 2019).

WAR IS COMING BETWEEN A “ROMAN CATHOLIC UNITED EUROPE” AND ISLAMICS!

In the United States of America – severe weather and extreme heat are intensifying! The unexpected flooding at the blasphemous “Burning Man” gathering the desert stranded thousands. (See: AP – ‘Wait times to exit Burning Man drop after flooding left tens of thousands stranded in Nevada desert’).

The Associated Press referred to those attendees as “revelers.” And with that in mind, notice something that the Apostle Paul WARNS –

“Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, REVELRIES, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God” – Galatians 5:19-21.

Now, because the LORD God can control the weather, does this mean that those most affected by the flooding at this vile “Burning Man” were worse sinners than those less affected!?

Our Lord Jesus says, no. Notice –

“ …’ for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust’” – Matthew 5:45.

“And Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Do you suppose that these Galileans [those Galileans that Pontius Pilate slaughtered] were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.

Or those eighteen on whom the tower of Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish’” – Luke 13:2-5.

An ever-greater number of our peoples are despising the living Word of God, and trusting in their perversity. Destruction is soon coming upon the USA!

Concluding Comments

The Book of Daniel has the following statement:

"'But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the Book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase'" - Daniel 12:4.

When the Prophet Daniel was told this, they did not have steam engines, petroleum, nuclear, or even electricity.

We do now!

When the Prophet Daniel was told this, they did not have radios, televisions, computers, cellular telephones, or even the Internet.

We do now!

When the Prophet Daniel was told this, there was no international power known as the United States of America - cf. Daniel 11:39.

There is now!

When the Prophet Daniel was told this, there was no power in Europe like the European Union, which had unity problems - cf. Daniel 2:41-43.

There is now!

There were also no people known as Christians.

There are now!

Brethren and Friends, we are in the time of the end where we understand more and more of the prophecies that were sealed in the Book of Daniel. Including the soon-coming destruction of the USA (Daniel 11:39), and her Anglo-Saxon descended allies (Daniel 8:24-25), and a coming ever-greater persecution of Christians (Daniel 11:28-35). People, indeed, are turning to and fro, knowledge has been increased, and we do understand more of the Book of Daniel. We are getting closer to the end of this age.

In this age when the love of many waxes cold, endure to the end - Matthew 24:13.

In deep gratitude and love, in Jesus' name,
