Synopsis

Europe has been invaded, the superpower across the sea is no more, and the country of "Baltania" is controlling Europe through communistic puppet governments. Under the oppressive cloud of communism, a small group of underground Christians faces a powerful crime organization bent on their capture and destruction. 

(The entire story is in a complete PDF file
which can be read at this link on Google Drive.
I make no money from this story. It is entirely free.)

Under this heavy, oppressive cloak, Kevin Kramer, a 30-year-old, and Maritza, his attractive, 27-year-old girlfriend, must decide who they will serve as they fall in love with each other, start a romantic relationship, and try to evade the unrelenting and dangerous members of a criminal organization, which seeks to kidnap underground Christians to sell to the secret police.

Together with some friends, Kevin and Maritza must do their best to avoid being captured as they learn to trust God and follow His guiding hand in these last days just before the rise of the Antichrist. This fast-paced story is designed to be fascinating. But, don't just take our word for it... 

[Note: Baltania is a fictional country within the Eurasian landmass. At one time, it had a communistic past. During a third world war, communism revived in this country as its armies conquered Europe. Since we do not want to point fingers at any particular country, we will not name this country or coalition of countries.]

Kevin’s Apartment in Kühnburg

“So, you’re going to just ditch us and hang out with some other friends?” Dietmar’s slightly frustrated voice came through Kevin’s smartphone speaker.

“Well…” Kevin started to say as he walked toward a dark green recliner in his bedroom.

“Come on, man,” Dietmar said, interrupting him. “Be true to your word. You said you were planning on coming to my house on Saturday to play some of my new multiplayer, VR games. I invited your roommate, Heinrich, and two other guys. They all said they were coming. It’s going to be a fun time. You can’t just drop out like that, man.”

A Secret Message in Nehemiah 7:7-14

The book of Nehemiah, chapter 7, has an ancient secret message. It is formed by placing the ancient name meanings together and by guidance from God. I did not come up with this. It was by God's leading I was able to see this message from the name meanings. But, if you are interested, I encourage you to seek God about this article to see what He would show you.

We will show all the name meanings strung together in one paragraph (in the order they appear in the Holy Scripture), and we will show you a secret message from God. Then, we will show you the name meanings based on Bible dictionary and concordance definitions.



NEHEMIAH 7:7-14

"[7.] Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number, I say, of the men of the people of Israel was this; 8. The children of Parosh, two thousand an hundred seventy and two. 9. The children of Shephatiah, three hundred seventy and two. 10. The children of Arah, six hundred fifty and two. 11. The children of Pahathmoab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand and eight hundred and eighteen. 12. The children of Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four. 13. The children of Zattu, eight hundred forty and five. 14. The children of Zaccai, seven hundred and threescore." [End quote]



A SECRET MESSAGE


The names mentioned above are listed below in the same order they appear in the above scripture passage from Nehemiah 7.

Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah, Parosh, Shephatiah, Arah, 
Pahathmoab, Jeshua, Joab, Elam, Zattu, Zaccai 


The ancient meanings of these names fit together in several sentences. Words in brackets were added. Words in quotations are the name meanings. These name meanings are listed in the same order found in the Bible.


➜ Zerubbabel, Jeshua: 

    [They were] "... descended of (i.e. From) Babylon ..." [but] "Jehovah-saved" [them.]

A Word from God for His Church About the Line in the Sand (5-21-18) (A Message from God)

(The picture was made using Microsoft Paint and Microsoft Paint 3D.)

A Word from God for His Church About the Line in the Sand

God said the words below this paragraph. I encourage you to seek God about it and see what He shows you. God is calling out to His Church to repent and seek to know Him better. This message from God was given on May 21, 2018.

GOD said:
___________________

[The line in the sand]

"My children, I am the LORD your God and Creator. You are being tested now. Don't be afraid. I am working to remove dross in your hearts and to draw you closer to Me. You are going through difficulties to show what you are made of and to determine who you will serve, whether you will serve Me or not. 

Donald Trump is a man who is ungodly, immoral, and wicked. He has idols and sins, and he is full of evil. If you put your trust in him to save this country, then you are not putting your trust in Me. You are putting your trust in an evil man and forsaking your God. Turn back to Me and repent from trusting in a mere man. Put your trust in Me, your God. 

If you continue on this course of trusting in man, you will see that your trust will fail you, for Donald Trump will fail you. He certainly will. He will not make good his promises, nor will he be able to deliver America from the judgment I bring up this wicked land. If you value Me, then seek Me about this question and about your support of Donald Trump, if you support him.

["If you love me, forsake the world and look to My Word, the Bible."]

If you love me, forsake the world and look to My Word, the Bible. There you will find all you need. Read the Bible, ask Me your questions about it, talk with Me, and listen to what I show you, for I will speak with you. If you don't know what to say to a non-Christian about a certain verse or passage in the Bible, just seek Me about it, and I will show you.

From the previous chapter:

Rap. Rap. Rap. Suddenly, a loud knock came at the door. It startled him, and Kevin almost dropped the book. He placed it in his back pocket and started toward the front door. The loud knocking continued. Rap. Rap. Rap.

His sister excused herself as she quickly walked past him. Then, as she reached the door, she peeked through the spy hole again, and quickly turned back toward Kevin, with some fear in her eyes.

She whispered loudly, “It’s the secret police.”

Rolf and Svenja’s Apartment in Kühnburg

With her heart beating fast, Svenja opened her apartment door, revealing two men dressed in dark, zipped-up jackets, tan or black tactical trousers, and black boots. Each had a short haircut and a grim expression on his face. To Kevin, who stood beside his sister, they looked tough, but professional.

He {... appoints} trials {to prick} us to {bring up} the {flame of Jehovah}. 

[Note: God's light will shine brighter in those who love Him and serve Him. Trials bring us close to God so we will lack nothing. See James 1:2-4.]

Trials will {... prick} our hearts {to make good} God's people and will {... abundantly bless} and {deliver} God's people {to ... [make them] be turned to righteousness} so that they will {humble [themselves]}. 

[Note: Without trials, we would turn our hearts away from God through our pride. Trials bring us into a state of dependence on God. If we seek God through them, we will get to know God better, and even as our best Friend. See Romans 5:1-5, James 1:12, 1 Peter 1:6-9, and 1 John 1:3-10.]

 Beneath a Forest

Three gangsters, dressed in dark tactical gear, were standing at the bottom of a staircase inside a concrete room, which was partially filled with crates and boxes stacked against the walls. As the crooks had first entered the room, they had seen that the old, florescent shop lights in the ceiling were on. To the man called Wolf, the humming lights revealed that someone or some people had been down there not long ago. 'Christians were here,' Wolf thought to himself as he looked about the room.

However, where the Christians had vanished to was still a mystery to the tall, blond, muscular man. It seemed to him that the only way out of that room was by the stairwell, which he had just descended through.

But, the wooden crates and metal boxes stacked against the wall got Wolf thinking. 

He began walking along the wall, keeping himself at an arm’s length from the containers. As he walked halfway around the room, Wolf saw nothing amiss until his blue, attentive eyes noticed a thin, dark gap between the edge of a crate and what appeared to be a door in the concrete wall behind it. ‘What is this?’ Wolf thought as he drew a small LED flashlight from a pocket.

Shining the flashlight beam into the gap, he instantly found out that it was a partially-concealed tunnel entrance. ‘This is no doubt where the Christians went,’ Wolf thought. 'Now, they are trapped. And, I will let none of them escape.'

Kühnburg, Germany

It was an overcast and rainy day. Sheets of precipitation splattered against the pavement and pelted the tan jacket of Kevin Kramer. The thirty-year-old walked through the puddle-filled streets of the old town of Kühnburg, Germany, hoping to soon be out of the rain and back in his apartment where it was dry and warm. He walked with a slight limp, which he tried to ignore, as he composed a text message on his smartphone. Engrossed in texting, he didn’t notice an armed, Baltanian soldier who had just emerged from a brick building where a law office was headquartered.

Christian Modesty in Today's Culture // Deception in the Church

Notice: This article is not appropriate for children under 15 years of age.

Christian Modesty in Today's Culture

Today's culture is reaching the level of immorality of the ancient Canaanites, who committed many abominable things. School shootings and abortion bring to mind the atrocities of the Canaanites who burned their children in the worship of Moloch. These also bring to mind the Aztecs who regularly conducted human sacrifice rituals on central American pyramids. 

And, in the same way that the ancient Israelites removed much of their clothing when they rebelled against God at the time that Moses went up into Mount Sinai (a.k.a. Mt. Horeb) (See Exodus 32), people in western culture have become more and more immodest in their clothing choices. 

The swimwear that people wear today does not match with what God says in His Word about how men and women ought to dress. The bikini is a clothing choice that reveals more than it conceals. It produces lust in men, and it contradicts what God's Word says about good morals. Women wearing bikinis draw men's attention to their bodies instead of toward their faces. This is a deep problem in our society.

Tight pants; tight shirts; short shorts; short dresses; clothing that reveals cleavage; bikinis; women's swimwear that exposes a woman's thighs, or her belly, or her back; and any clothing that draws men to look at a woman's body are all immodest. (Enough said about that.) 

There is a reason why women wear such immodest clothing, and this is a deep problem. But, this deep problem has a wonderful solution. We will look at that wonderful solution later in this article.

THE EVIL LURE OF LUST


Jesus Christ said this truth in Matthew 5:27-29:

"[27] Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: [28] But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. [29] And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell."

Chapter Fifty

PART 50: ➤ "A Communist Attack in the Forest" // ➤ "The Underground Excursion"

____________________

Kostya Bortnik (a Russian), Evgeny and Nadia Yugov (Russians), Steve and Sarah O’Neill (Americans), and Jason Harper (an American) were traveling through a pine forest in southern Siberia and had gone a couple miles from Kostya’s underground bunker when the group of “underground” Christians had heard a distinct sound coming from the woodland undergrowth. Unbeknownst to them, their friend Alexei Khlebov (a Russian) had been captured by communist soldiers shortly after they had left the underground base. And, the communist red army of Russia was now searching in the woods for the Russian and American Christians, determined to either catch or kill them. It is a moonlit night in the southern Siberian forest.

“A Communist Attack in the Forest”

- Russia -

Something had just stirred the dense, dark bushes a dozen yards from Steve. He turned to see what it was, and his eyes widened. A man in camouflage, equipped with grenades, ammo clips and other gear, was slowly pushing through the foliage. He wore a helmet with black optical equipment lowered over his eyes. The optics allowed him to see through foliage and detect animals or humans behind walls or obstructions. Nothing could prevent him from seeing his prey, except for a miracle of God, a lead wall, or a thick metal screen. And, there were no lead walls between the Christians and this soldier.

Corporal Mirov stepped into the small opening where the Christians were, raised his

AK-74M rifle to his shoulder, and said, “Raise your hands, now!”
