We come this time in our ongoing study through the book of Revelation, to chapter 15. This chapter happens to be the shortest of the book, having only eight verses. The opening scene again is heavenly in nature. I want to clarify something I said in an earlier post. 

Are occult messages hidden in plain sight in music videos and television commercials?  Pastor Michael Hoggard explores this possibility in this new video update.  He also discusses the biblical significance of blood and how it relates the vampire craze that is sweeping pop culture. 

 Jewish communities throughout the world will celebrate Rosh Hashanah as the sun sets today. Rosh Hashanah literally means "head of the year" and commemorates the anniversary of the creation of the world. It is celebrated on the first day of the month of Tishri, which this year starts at sundown on September 28th and ends on the 30th. 

Is the spirit of Mystery Babylon residing in the Church today? Pastor Michael Hoggard exposes the creeping influence of Satan in the modern Christian church. Topics such as rock music, inappropriate sermon topics, swearing in church, and more.  Should Christians stop using the terms "born again" and "saved?"    

I wrote an article when people were concerned about Israelis leaving their settlements in Gaza. Look what has happened. They left southern Lebanon in the year 2000 and were promised that the militias like Hezbollah would be disarmed. They left Gaza hoping that a land for peace strategy would work. Both withdrawals failed, as Gaza and southern Lebanon have both erupted in violence. 

Religion is a convenient scapegoat for the atheist, who wants to justify himself in a world of believers. The atheist has a serious problem in blaming the evils of the world on religion, though. For every complaint against religious people, there are plenty of complaints to be made against the faithless.  

When I first began this series on the book of Revelation, I never intended to continue the series for as long as it has gone. I thought perhaps I would do a summary of the book. It has turned into a verse by verse exposition. That is really a good thing as expositional teaching is the most important thing that believers need. We see very little of it done in most churches, as many ministers are presenting trite, little topical sermons big on fluff but light on substantive content. 

The Apostle Paul wrote to the Church at Ephesus that "Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:12). He also wrote to the Church at Corinth, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:3).

Is it coincidence that when the spies are sent into the land they encounter the same entities that we see in Genesis 6?  I think not, and would submit to you that the presence of the fallen angels creating these unholy hybrids, or Nephilim, is once again a deliberate attempt by the Fallen One to thwart the plans of the Most High God. 

In this week's video update, Pastor Michael Hoggard explores the true nature of the conspiracy that led to the tragic events of 9/11.  Passages of scripture are laid out to paint a clear picture of the supernatural forces that were behind the event. Also, stunning examples of movie scenes featuring the numbers 9-11 before 2001 are shown. You won't believe it!

Lilith was also thought to be the great temptress of men. She was a succubus that attached itself to men causing them to err. She was also the one that supposedly caused nocturnal emissions in men. God then created Eve as a helpmate to Adam from his own side. Many an incantation bowl said “Adam and Eve out Lilith.”

Here is a scenario for your consideration.  It is based on my 20 years of research delving into prophetic texts concerning the Nephilim and how they relate to the burgeoning UFO phenomena.  Here is what I think might happen. 

When the Wisconsin-based Freedom from Religion Foundation threatened DeSoto County schools with legal action unless they stopped leading prayer before high school sports games, the parents and students of DeSoto County took over. Prayer may no longer be offered from the PA system before football games, but fans in the stands have started saying the Lord's Prayer themselves.  

In this video update Pastor Michael Hoggard explores the subject of Biblical symbols and compares them with occult symbols.  An in -depth examination of the crown of thorns worn by Jesus during his crucifixion and the meaning of that symbol is presented. Other subjects include the symbols of Freemasonry, 9/11, the Antichrist, and Satan. 

I believe that there has been a cosmic war raging in another dimension for millennia and this war is for the souls of men and women. It is beginning to manifest in overt ways here on earth as this unmitigated lawlessness is being driven by an unseen, dark power, the Fallen One, who has been at work for thousands of years. 

Look, I am not the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition here that wants to burn these guys at the stake but Scripture says that “God is not mocked and we reap what we sow” (Galatians 6:7). These people must be held accountable for their false teachings. 

 Is the "Jedi mind trick" real?  Are you being taught occult mysteries without even knowing it?  Pastor Michael Hoggard will answer these questions and explore the secrets of magic, subliminal advertising, the movie Inception, the television series The Event, the  Jesuit Order, and the secrets of Freemasonry.  

When the Irish Christian band Bluetree sneaked into Burma (Myanmar) to play music to the Karen Christians there, the band members believed they were doing something dangerous. They did not appreciate until they got back into Thailand that they had come very close to being slaughtered.
