"The Inquisition Song"

(You can listen to it here)





From 1203 to 1805
50 million Christians died
suffering at the hand of Rome
because they believed in Christ alone
they died in Europe especially Spain
because they saw all but Christ as vain
He who suffered by His death for men
to save them from their awful sin
600 years of martyred saints
that history can not erase
with iron heel and iron hand
the Roman Popes ruled the land
Those ignorant of history
May be swept into apostasy
But we won’t be lulled by Rome’s sweet lie
With 50 million reasons why
Salvation is by faith alone
In Christ alone by Grace alone
A Sovereign God gives faith to man
Salvation is in the Maker’s hand

This gospel offends still Rome today
So they offer up another way
A counterfeit a compromise
Beware the ancient Papal lie
With such a cloud of witnesses
Who by grace died in their Lord
We recall their memory
And by the same faith live today!

The Copper Scroll: Temple Treasures

by Joseph Chambers

In 1952 one of the greatest discoveries of an ancient script, which was written on copper, was found near Qumran. It took several years to open or unroll the scroll in order for the deciphering of the text to begin. Because it was a very fragile document — nearly two thousand years old – there was a great fear that it would be destroyed before it could be translated. The disagreements of the assigned scholars and the intrigue of such a valuable possession led to years of delay. There are still differences of opinions, but a fairly solid consensus is that the treasures noted in this scroll are indeed from the Jewish temple and that they do exist.

The entire world is watching every event and every idea that relates to Israel. Numerous Bible prophecies concerning this chosen nation are emerging, this Copper Scroll being one of them. The leaders of Gog and Magog as named in the Bible are each in place and bellowing out their plans. Thirty years ago Persia (Iran) was our ally, but Bible prophecy scheduled that historic part of the world for a different course. For Biblical truths to be fulfilled, people of many stripes are used — often or actually in most cases — without one iota of understanding about their role. Persia/Iran has been completely transfigured until they are ready to be the point nation leading the war to their own holocaust. Gog and Magog may well occur in 2010.

Nothing relating to Israel is more exciting than their talk of the coming Messiah. Their speaking about the Jewish Messiah cannot be separated from talk about their temple in Jerusalem. Yet, that temple site is already occupied by an opposing religious strategic center. Well over one billion adherents to that religion would fight to the death to stop a Jewish temple. This issue between the Islamic religion and Israel’s preparation to build their temple is one of the world’s hottest subjects. Only the Sovereign God can possibly solve this problem and He will.

The Copper Scroll treasures contain almost enough gold and wealth to rebuild the temple. A Catholic priest, Josef Milik, was assigned as the research scholar responsible for writing the official findings. He said that the gold and silver represented over 200 ton or 400,000 pounds. The entire treasure was estimated to be valued at two to three billion dollars. Of course, these estimates are considered too small by some scholars and too large by others. There is some speculation that the final Copper Scroll — part of the last location — will identify the location of the “Ark of the Covenant.”

Hershel Shanks, the editor of the Biblical Archaeological Review, tells about a meeting of scholars and experts in which the majority agreed that the treasure is real and that it all came from the Jerusalem Temple. (The Copper Scroll, Hershel Shanks, p. 51.) It is believed that before the Romans finally took and destroyed the Temple in AD 70 that this wealth of gold and treasures was hidden from them. Whether or not the “Ark of the Covenant” is part of this trove of temple treasures does not mean the ark has not been preserved.

The Copper Scroll treasures were from the Second Temple, but the “Ark of the Covenant” was from the First Temple. It seems certain that faithful priests had hidden the ark when Nebuchadnezzar was camping beyond Jerusalem’s Walls in preparation to destroy the city. This was 586 BC. From research, it is evident that Nebuchadnezzar sought diligently to save the Temple of Solomon, probably for Daniel’s and Jeremiah’s sake. Nebuchadnezzar’s general was instructed to take Jeremiah from among the captives and protect him. He was allowed to either stay in Israel and return to his own estate or go to Babylon to be cared for by his own people. The Ark of the Covenant has not been officially located since that date of 586 BC.

The Copper Scroll reveals the hidden place of sixty-four different troves or groups of treasures. Here are two of those locations, along with the list of items included: “In the basin that is in the valley of […], in the tomb of its source, a black stone 2 cubits (away); it is the entry: 300 talents of gold and 20 indemnity vessels.” (Location 49, p. 100.) “In a cavity that is in the bright place north of Kohilt, opening to the north, and (where there are) graves at its entrance a duplicate of this document and an explication and their measurements and a detailed inventory of everything, one by one.” (Location 64, pg 101.) In the location of the 62nd group, the amount of gold and silver is 600 talents (45,000 pounds).

When will this great abundance of treasuries be discovered? Actually, there is no need for this discovery until the Temple Mount is purified and vacant. I am convinced that most if not all of these temple items, along with the wealth of gold and silver, is hid beneath the exact location of the ancient Temple of Solomon. If the Ark of the Covenant was directly beneath the second temple, Holy of Holies, in Christ’s day the priest could have offered the Blood sacrifice behind the veil and above the ark. This would be the reason that the veil was rent when the Son of God died at Calvary.

It seems fitting that the firestorms that will destroy the armies of Gog and Magog and obliterate the Islamic religion will also sweep the Temple Mount and purify it with the fire of God. The promise of God’s defense of Israel includes, “Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel” (Ezekiel 38:19b). Ezekiel further prophesied, “And the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground” (Ezekiel 38:20b). I add this possibility, “All the treasures of God’s temple shall be revealed.” When the war of Gog and Magog is finished, it will be time for Israel to build their temple.

Amazing Grace

My wife and I let our daughters Rachel, who is six. And Samara, who is five watch the Fanny Crosby Story on video. For those who don’t know Fanny Crosby, she was a Blind woman who penned more than 10,000 hymns under more than 200 different pen names, for the Lord. Some include "Blessed Assurance", "Jesus Is Tenderly Calling You Home", "Praise Him, Praise Him", and "To God Be the Glory".

A few days after watching the Fanny Crosby video, my daughters were sitting at the kitchen table and my wife was standing in the kitchen with them. And my 6 year old, Rachel, asked my wife “Mommy, why do people get blind”?

“Well, some people are born blind, and some people become blind because they get old or because something happens to their eyes. And because we are born into a fallen world that sort of thing happens”. My wife replied.

“So, do we know any people blind”? Rachel asks.

“Well, no honey, we don’t know anyone blind”. My wife says.

Then my 5 year old, Samara chimes in...

“Yes we do, I know somebody blind”.


“No we don’t Sammy”. My wife says

“Yes, uh-hu I do….. ‘Swa’ in the Bible was blind!” Samara explained.

“Who is Swa!?” “There is no ‘Swa’ in the Bible that was blind, honey.” My wife says.

“Yes there is!” Samara states. Then she starts singing…..” Swaaas blind but now I see.”

My Wife was laughing so hard she could hardly tell me the story. My wife has sung them Amazing Grace since they were born and when in the song it says ““twas” blind but now I see” Sammy thought “twas” was a person named “Swa”. It was hilarious!

I Sing the Mighty Power of God

by Isaac Watts







I sing the mighty power of God, that made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad, and built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at his command, and all the stars obey.

I sing the goodness of the Lord, who filled the earth with food,
Who formed the creatures through the Word, and then pronounced them good.
Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed, where’er I turn my eye,
If I survey the ground I tread, or gaze upon the sky.

There’s not a plant or flower below, but makes Thy glories known,
And clouds arise, and tempests blow, by order from Thy throne;
While all that borrows life from Thee is ever in Thy care;
And everywhere that we can be, Thou, God art present there.

America in Wonderland

America just keeps falling deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole. The Ouija Board was around even when I was a child but it was kept away from children, at least from parents that professed the name of Jesus Christ. Sad these toy companies have no boundaries any longer which becomes clear when they market the Ouija board in pink, obviously meant for young girls (or boys depending on how PC you're). I suppose some people will say this pales in comparison when you consider the violence on the video games/TV. They would get no argument here other than to point out that kids could really open themselves up to something demonic and potentially put themselves (and the public) in a worse situation. And If you're an open minded parent about the Ouija Board then all I would say is, sleep with one eye open.

Oh and one more thing, mark my words, there are going to be pastors out here that will endorse this for the sake of cultural relevance and not to be seen as "legalistic".
