Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are pleased you could join us in
fellowship.
We have another informative article by guest contributor Dr. Henry Makow PhD, in which he
describes how human history is unfolding according to Illuminati plans documented in his new book,
ILLUMINATI: The Cult that Hijacked the World. This is followed by a complimentary teaching
on Revelation, The Guns of America or China or Japan, and a third article on Divine Compassion.

The world is going insane as Brother Branham foretold and our news items and main articles confirm,
which is all the more reason we should "study to present ourselves to God approved, as workmen who
have no cause to be ashamed, rightly discerning the Message of truth" (II Timothy 2:15). One day

CO2 levels were up to 7,000 parts per million (ppm) during the Cambrian Period some 530
million ago. Known as the 'Cambrian explosion,' this was the period when most major groups of
complex life evolved.
A great Ice Age gripped the Earth some 450 million years ago, late in the Ordovician Period,
causing mass extinction. At this time the CO2 concentration was 4,400 ppmnearly twelve
times higher than the current average concentration of 387 ppm. According to the global
warming theory, the Earth should have been exceedingly hot.
During the Carboniferous Period, some 300 million years ago, CO2 concentration declined to
about 350 ppmsimilar to the current concentration.
During the Jurassic Period, some 170 million years ago, CO2 concentration rose to 2,400 ppm
and the dinosaurs survived just fine.
The atmosphere is now CO2 impoverished as it was during the Carboniferous Period. Higher
concentrations will only help life flourish.

Comment: Consider England, around the dawn of the twentieth century, a tiny island of approximately
40-million souls, controlling over 80% of the earth (including mastery of the seas). She was the
greatest civilizing influence the world had ever known. Today, after fighting two world wars FOR THE
ENEMY, British supremacy of the seas is gone; her commercial and political primacy in Europe are
gone; her colonial power is gone; her monetary reserves are gone; and her racial breeding stock is
seriously depleted. She was kicked out of Palestine by ungrateful Jews armed by American Zionists,
her soldiers were assassinated, their bodies booby-trapped, and her diplomats murdered. England,
now owned lock-stock-and-barrel by the Illuminati, has been forced to accept waves of non-white
immigrants among her pink-cheeked Teutonic family in preparation for Lucifer's Talmudic one world
government. (Population statistics project London will have a non-white majority by 2010 and a nonwhite majority within 100-years).
On December 1, 2009 the Lisbon Treaty came into force: Britain ceased to be a sovereign state and
became a province within a European state. Patriots who died to "Save the World for Democracy" died
bravely but in vain. Our controlled Hegelian sham democracies are political anthrax used by Zionists to
destroy their Gentile hosts by turning the meritocracy pyramid upside down.
"Present day Jews are a pot pourri of every race of man," she writes, "and they do not have any
genealogical or racial derivation from the ancient peoples of the Holy Land."
MY NEW PARADIGM
I had the misconception that Jews were a race because of their traditional antipathy to intermarriage.
This was enforced by Hitler's racially-based treatment of Jews. But I couldn't explain why Jews differed
racially and discriminated against each other on this basis.
Moreover, I couldn't reconcile race with the fact that the Illuminati, the secret inner core of Judaism,
actively sought intermarriage with non-Jews and were happy to sacrifice other Jews to slaughter.
My paradigm has now changed. My latest thinking is that, like its proxy Freemasonry, the
defining element in Judaism is the "ideology." Race doesn't matter. Anybody can join the
club: Marilyn Monroe, Sammy Davis, Elizabeth Taylor, Madonna, Britney Spears. . . As with
American Express, "membership has its rewards."
And like Freemasonry, Judaism is characterized by the fact that the membership is ignorant of the true
agenda. Only the "Illuminated" are in on the secret. The rest are manipulated and disposable.
As with Freemasonry, the hidden agenda is Pagan and Satanic. Judaism uses the Old Testament to
draw people into the fold. But it is actually defined by the Talmud and Cabala which spurn the Old
Testament.
Talmudic Judaism used "the Old Testament to cover its negation of every moral law of the Old
Testament as it promotes practice of all the occult demonistic abominations excoriated by the Old
Testament," writes Elizabeth Dilling (Chapter VI).
Dilling shows how Moses' injunctions against bestiality, sodomy, adultery, incest, necrophilia etc., in the
Old Testament are overturned in the Talmud (Chapter V).
The picture of Jews as a nation-race is another way of controlling and manipulating them. It's essential
for Jews (and Freemasons) to understand that the best parts of the ideology are for public
consumption and to attract the innocents. From this pool, only the corruptible are informed of the true
agenda and allowed to rise. They become part of the Illuminati.
But if there is trouble, the Illuminati will plant the blame on the innocent Jews and Masons, the outer
layer of dupes who run interference and serve as their human shield.
SATANIC?
The hidden (Talmudic/Cabalistic) agenda of Judaism and Freemasonry is to supplant the natural and
spiritual laws of the universe (God) with the tyranny of the Illuminati bankers. They will define reality.
For example, homosexuality, bestiality, incest etc., are being normalized. What is healthy (i.e.
marriage, family) is deemed sick; what is false (i.e. climate change) is deemed true; what is obscene
and ugly (modern art, entertainment) is deemed beautiful. This is the New World Order.
The Cabalist bankers have been waging war on humanity for centuries. Ordinary Jews and Masons are
in jeopardy by virtue of their association with this scourge.
According to the Old Testament, Jews must wait for the Messiah before reestablishing Israel. But the
Talmud says, the Messiah is already here and it is the "Jewish people" themselves. By "Jewish people"
they mean the Illuminati bankers who sponsor and run organized Jewry.
For example, the Talmud Kethuboth 111a, states: "The Messiah is without metaphor the Jewish
people" (Chapter VI).
The Cabala teaches that God ("En Sof") is not moral, and has no characteristics. God is composed of
nature. Since the highest expression of nature is man, he is God. And since only Jews are human, and
above the level of beast, Jews (i.e. Illuminati bankers) are Divine.
According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, the Cabala teaches that the relation between man and God is
erotic, "Religion being identical with love . . . sensuous pleasure, and especially intoxication, typify the
highest degree of divine love as ecstatic contemplation" (ibid).
The Passover song the "Only Kid" heralds the day when all the world's great nations destroy each other
in war, and only Israel is left (Chapter XIV).
CONCLUSION
Have no illusion, mankind has been inducted into a Satanic cult based on the Talmud and Cabala.
Gradually we are being sedated and offered up as a tribute to Lucifer by his disciples, the Illuminati
bankers. Mankind is doomed to an ersatz life, a perpetual rerun of the past.
Anti-Semites are protecting the Illuminati by blaming the "racial" Jew. The true villain is the Illuminati
banker and his lackeys of every ethnicity and "religion," who embrace the Satanic ideology of the New
World Order.

Comment: Professor Sand makes some Scripturally untenable statements in his book, but he has
performed an excellent service in distinguishing the self-styled Jews from Semitic Hebrews who are
Israelites descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob whose twelve tribes will not return to the
Promised Land until the first half of Daniel's Seventieth Week (Psalm 17:7; Isaiah 6:10-13; 11:11;
27:13; Jeremiah 3:12, 18; 16:15; 23:8; 31:8; Ezekiel 39:27; Micah 5:3; Zechariah 10:8, Matthew
24:29-31, etc.,). Our friend Henry Makow has drawn upon Professor Sands' sound historical facts. The
so-called Ashkenazim Jews are predominantly non-Semitic Khazars, a Turkic people from Lower
Mongolia once known as Huns, while the so-called Sephardim Jews are predominantly Edomite,
that is Canaanites and Hittites (Genesis 27:39-41). It is the leaders of these people who govern
your politicians and rule the world behind the scenes from 'the City of London' as Benjamin Disraeli
said, "Governments do not govern, but merely control the machinery of government, being themselves
controlled by the hidden hand."
"The things that the preacher is liable to teach yer [even within the circle of this Message], ain't
necessarily so." Prior to the latter half of the Eighteenth Century the word "J_E_W" did not
appear in any Bible, and the meaning of this modern word conflicts with the meanings of the two
words it has replaced. There is racial "enmity" between self-chosen non-Semitic so-called Jews and
the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Genesis 3:15; 9:26; 10:15-20; Deuteronomy 7;
Matthew 23:33-35). Moreover, there are religious differences as Judaism is Pharisaism and the
antithesis of Moses and the prophets (Matthew 15:9). It is as Abraham said, "Between us and you
there is a great gulf fixed: so that those who want to come from here to you cannot; neither can they
pass from your side to us" (Luke 16:26).
Whoever assembled the video is probably another dupe playing into the hands of the enemy by trying
to do God a service against His will. The 'hidden hand' is putting out such propaganda to generate
hatred which is the objective of racial, religious, gender and sexual hate legislation crafted in the USA
for the Anti- Defamation League of B'nai B'rith by President of Democrats for Israel, Jewish lawyer
Joseph Meir Ribakoff (subsequently suspended for misappropriating client's funds). Its adoption
demonstrates the subservience of legislatures and judicatures in Australia, Canada, UK, USA, other
colonies of 'the City,' and occupied territories such as Germany. As 'the City' manages information via
its control of the education, media and entertainment, objective truth is not broadly disseminated and
available only to those who seek it out on the Internet or from libraries whose books have not been
misappropriated, and only so long as legislation already enacted is not enforced to silence even that
"still small voice".
Brother Ted Pike reports, "ADL hate crimes laws have taken free speech from the citizens of
Canada, England, Australia, etc., and now America is shackled with a national hate law fully capable of
doing the same. Recently signed by President. Obama, it was very largely conceived and brought into
existence by the same Abe Foxman who wrote the recent "Rage Report" which portrays millions of
Americans as "conspirators".
Komrades in government worldwide are singing to this 'City of London' Zionist tune and fulfilling the
wrong side of God's ledger. . . "as it was in the days of Noah" (Genesis 6:1-4; Matthew 24:37-39). Lou
Dobbs reports on US immigration (miscegenation) amnesty.
Do not turn upon Muslim people as a reflex to propaganda of the 'hidden hand' designed to FORCE you
and Muslims to kill one another and bring you subject to his marshal law. It is not Muslims who
rejected Christ's first and second Comings, but Israel, her Jewish impersonators, Christendom and her
impersonators. Innocent Muslims and other inassimilable people have been brought into your
country as pawns by the alien power that controls the UN, the US Congress and Parliaments of the
world to engender hatred and divide your community. You are both unwilling players in a Hegelian
dialectic. It is alleged Islam was devised by the Mohammed's wife Khadema, a Catholic nun in league
with her Roman Catholic cousin Waffiq; it is a system of law like Talmudic Judaism with neither grace
nor Redeemer. Muslims recognize Jesus Christ as a prophet but like Roman Catholics they are not
permitted to think for themselves and to "prove all things." The prophet Abraham said that Ishmael
and his people will never be able to agree among themselves (Genesis 16:11-12) so there is nothing
to fear from Islam if people THINK and do not provoke Muslims to the necessity of defending
themselves against further aggression from our proxy armies of 'the City' as they are trained to
provoke Russia. If you have "the mind which was also in Christ Jesus" you should be in "fear of the
Jews" because of whom "no man speaks openly" (Philippians 2:5; John 7:13).
The "Fireside Discussion Group of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith" states: "We want a
world in which nationalism shall definitely diminish." And Jews feel "they belong to one
world unity." This sophistry contradicts the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who cursed
multiculturalism (miscegenation) and the Satanic one world government they intend to introduce
(Genesis 1:11; 3:15; 11:6-9; Numbers 23:9; Deuteronomy 32:7-8; Amos 3:3).
Study your Bible and you will discover Catholicism is not "the foundation of the apostles and prophets"
(Ephesians 2:22) who were Israelites and would never worship a trinity of gods (Exodus 20:2-3;
Deuteronomy 6:4), nor pray for or worship the dead, and drop a little money for masses for their poor
souls in purgatory, as Rome commands, but makes no effort to enlighten the superstitious living that
purgatory exists only as a racket to extort money. As a believer in this Message the Ante Nicene
Fathers, Nicene Fathers, and Post Nicene Fathers should be on your computer, but any history will
show you Catholicism was not founded by Peter whose "apostleship was to the circumcision" (Galatians
2:7-9). Peter pastored a Church in Jerusalem and never visited Rome. The apostles Andronicus and
Junius took the Gospel to Rome within three years of Calvary (Romans 16:7). History tells us the
Roman Catholic church was organized at the First Nicea Council in AD325 by apostate Jews as a foil to
Christian faith and pagan emperor Constantine for political advantage: and that the Christians
(Robert Faurisson, The Revisionist Method Applied to the History of the Third World War. To CLEAR your
mind of LIES and alien propaganda, "prove all things," and read all of this).
Plans for World War III were completed in 1871 when it was determined that the combatants
would be political Zionists (fighting with the blood of taxpayer-funded colonial troops of 'the City of
London') and political Islam. Both dupeshaving served their purposewill be humbled at the end of
this war to serve Lucifer's totalitarian one world government. As in World Wars I and II, whichever side
is victorious in these pre-planned controlled conflicts will be a loser as the synthesis of the Hegelian
dialectic is inimical to both protagonists who should have united against their mutual enemy and
financier, the 'hidden hand,' and Muslims and nominal Christians should ally to this end today.
Islamic nations want peace as Kaiser Wilhelm wanted peace, but when Germany had conquered the
aggressors, Britain, France and Italy, 'the City' brought in "the guns of America" as boasted in
Protocol 7:6. When Amnesty was agreed, the Kaiser expected the Allies to honour their word, but
upon disarming and disbanding his troops, they deceived Germany at Versailles where Rothschild
represented each of the Allies. Next, Germany was invaded by non-Semitic, anti-Semitic self-styled
Jews who established the Weimar Republic and created hyper-inflation, enabling them to steal
industries and real estate for pfennigs in the mark, and turned the nation into a whorehouse.
Remove your blinkers apostate Western man who says, "I am rich, and increased with
goods, and have need of nothing; and know not you are wretched, and miserable, and poor,
and blind, and naked"not only Spiritually, but materially also. The Philistines are upon you
with their knavish Weimar tricks, leaving you unpayable debt for credit created out of thin air in
exchange for your resources and utilities, and having expatriated jobs and industries, opened your
borders to imported goods and unwanted aliens, destroyed your morals, and as I write they have your
politicians in Copenhagen working to make you pay for the air you breathe. In rejecting Christ you
have accepted the Devil who is driving you insane.
The 'City of London' that financed Hitler from the 1920s and throughout World War II and
(Rockefeller/Esso, a Rothschild organization that) fueled the German fleet and provided patents for
Buma synthetic rubber and fuel, funded Karl Mark to update Rothschild's International Socialism to
Communism, and Professor Baron Karl von Ritter to draft National Socialism for Zionism and Nazism.
As planned in 1871, these two political philosophies were brought together in controlled conflict in
World War II in order to make the world a safe place for Communism which has always been funded by
'the City' through their International Banksters and tax exempt foundations in the USA. In victory
Hitler offered peace, and once again the Jews of 'the City' brought in "the guns of America".
Now "the guns of America" fire upon any nation that stands in the path of 'the City' and her Babylonian
fractional reserve banks grasping control of world resources of energy, minerals, food, health, water,
and under the climate change hoax and CO2 emissions scam fresh air will be commodified. The
Muslim people are not the aggressors, they have been brought into non-Muslim countries like people of
inassimilable races and cultures by the 'hidden hand' that rules our Hegelian sham democracies, in
order to divide and conquer the world for his god Lucifer.
This long term scam should be evident to anyone who reads the perverse notes in a Scofield Reference
Bible. Propaganda about the danger of Islam was being spread when I was a schoolboy. Cui bono, who
benefits? Not Muslims, not Allah, and not you, poor white man. Beware "the guns of China or Japan".
"By all these means we shall so wear down the goyim that they will be compelled to offer us
international power of a nature that will enable us without violence gradually to absorb all the state
forces of the world and to form a super government. In place of the rulers of to-day we shall set up a
bogey which will be called the Super-Government Administration. Its hands will reach out in all
directions like nippers and its organization will be of such colossal dimensions that it cannot fail to
subdue all the nations of the world" (Protocol 5:11).
Divine Compassion
Do you believe Jesus loved the people with all of His heart? Do you believe He was the Son of God, full
of compassion for suffering humanity? Watch how Jesus conducted Himself when He came to the Pool
of Bethesda where there were five porches whereon lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind and
lame, and withered, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel came down into the pool at a
certain season, and whoever stepped in first after the troubling of the water was healed of his disease.
Now Jesus came to the place, and although He felt compassion for them all He walked right past old
grandpa twisted with arthritis imploring, "Somebody please help me into the pool"; past a mother with
her invalid child, past a blind man, past the multitude of needy people waiting for the moving of the
water. Finally He came to a certain man with an infirmity, who had attended the pool for thirty-eight
years, but when the water was troubled there was no one to help him quickly enter the pool.
Jesus healed the man because it was revealed to Him that he had faith to be healed, then He just
walked away from the suffering multitude, leaving poor mothers with sick children, the lame, halt,
blind, spastic, diseased and insane, waiting for the moving of the water. How could a loving Saviour
with a heart full of compassion just walk away from that needy multitude desperate for help?
But because it was the sabbath and He had commanded the man, "Rise, take up your bed and walk,"
the Jews sought to kill Him for healing a man on the sabbath and for saying that God was His Father.
It is in His response to the Jews that He shows us the true meaning of compassion. John
5:19-20, "I truly assure you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, but what He sees the
Father doing; for whatever he does, the Son does in the same way. For the Father loves the
Son, and [in a vision] shows Him everything that He Himself does: and He will show Him
still greater works than these, that you may marvel".
Compassion is doing the will of God. It is the 'third pull.' The Lord said, "My thoughts are not
your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways" (Isaiah 55:8). Therefore true compassion is when "the
mind that was in Christ Jesus is in you" (Philippians 2:5); only then will the 'third pull' operate. Jesus
was a man under preeminence to God, as was Brother Branham who in these last days revealed
"Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever," healing the sick and crippled, restoring
sight to the blind, speech and hearing to deaf mutes, casting out demons, raising the dead, and
discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart" (Luke 17:28-30; Hebrews 13:8; 4:12). But the
Prophet could only do what God had already shown him in a vision, and God received all the credit.
That explains why Jesus passed through the suffering multitude, healed one particular man and
departed.
Turning now to John 11 we come to the account of Lazarus. His sisters Mary and Martha sent word that
their brother was sick. Jesus must have received a vision, for when He heard the news He said, "This
sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified by a
miracle." So He remained in the same place for two days until He was shown in a vision that His friend
Lazarus was dead; then He said, "Let us go into Judea again." And when He informed His disciples of
Lazarus' demise He told them one of God's objectives in his death was that in witnessing this "greater
work" they should overcome their unbelief. Two days later when they opened his tomb Jesus said to
Martha, "I told you, that if you would believe, you should see the glory of God?" And lifting up His eyes
He said, Father, I thank you that You have heard Me. I knew that You always hear Me: I speak aloud
so that those who stand by may believe that You have sent Me." And having spoken He cried with a
loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth." And he who was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave
clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them, Loose him, and let him go."
The vision had come to pass.
Had Jesus rushed to Bethany as soon as he received the Message, His vision could not have
come to pass, for a vision, like the preview of a movie, is a visual preview of some future
event. For the promise to come to pass everything must match the vision of God. And Jesus, knowing
it would take two days to reach Lazarus' home, could not depart until two days after God had revealed
his demise, because corruption sets into the flesh within three days and the vision showed the
resurrection of a putrified man. And because Lazarus stunk and corruption knew its Maker, the miracle
was greater. Jesus said, "He who believes on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater
works than these; because I go to My Father. And whatsoever you shall ask in My Name, I will do, that
the Father may be glorified in the Son" (John 14:12-13). Jesus is always full of mercy and full of
compassion for those who will believe on His Name and ask in faith, that is, by revelation of the Will of
God.
Brother Branham said, "They're looking, and don't know what they're looking for, because
they've got the wrong conception of what they're trying to find. How would you know what
you wanted to find, if you didn't know what you was looking for?"
"How would you go hunt for a pumpkin, and you'd never seen one and never heard of one? How would
you go find a watermelon, if you never knowed there was such a thing, and how it looked? Why you
could find a tub, and think it was a watermelon. You could find something else. You could find a block
and think it was a watermelon. But you've got to know what you're looking for. And the only
way that you'll ever know what you're looking for, if you're looking for Jesus you'll look to
the Word, for He is the Word" (Look Away to Jesus, p. 30:252-254).
John 5:38-40, "God's Word is not abiding in you: for you do not believe whom He has sent. Search the
scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal Life: and it is they that bear witness of Me. And you
will not come to Me, [the Word], that you might have eternal Life." In the days of His flesh as in this
day, men go to denominational creeds for Life, when they are DEATH.
Jesus said, "You claim you believe the prophets, when you are of your father the Devil and his works
you will do. Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you build the tombs of the
prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, and say, If we had been in the days of our
fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore you
witnesses, that you are the sons of those who killed the prophets" (Matthew 23:29-32).
The Jewish denominations had so twisted the Scriptures with man-made interpretations they didn't
know what they should be looking for, and they crucified their very Messiah. And today the Gentile
denominations are believing such a mess of man-made theology they have no idea what they should
be looking for and are looking for the Man and crucifying the Son of God afresh unto themselves when
they should be looking for the Word. They run nursery schools, hospitals, homes for the aged and
numerous charities, which are all good works serving MAN, but they are without compassion and
utterly incapable of serving the Lord God, because Divine compassion is knowing and doing the will of
God, and His will is His Word. Divine Compassion is revelation in action.
A good denominational believer who was rich approached Jesus and asked, "Good Master, what good
thing shall I do, that I may have eternal Life?"
Here was a good man without faith. He thought he could purchase God's approval by good works,
feeding the poor, paying tithes to his priest, visiting the sick and funding education for orphans. That is
good but it is serving MAN, and pagans do the same. So do government agencies in the welfare state,
and they are not Christian. We have already quoted II Timothy 2:15, which says "we must study to
present ourselves to God approved, as workmen who have no cause to be ashamed, rightly discerning
the Message of truth." Without studying to understand what God's Word means, we are without faith
and cannot know His will, and "without faith it is impossible to please God" (Hebrews 11:6). This is
why your kind old self-sacrificing priest is without Divine compassion and lost as can be.
The denominational believer knew his kind old priest knew nothing of eternal Life, which is why he
asked Jesus, who said, "Why call Me good? there is none good but God: but if you will enter into Life,
keep the commandments. The man asked, Which?"
"Jesus said, You shall do no murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not
10
bear false witness, honour your father and your mother: and, you shall love your neighbour as
yourself."
"The young man said, All these things I have kept from my youth: what lack I yet?" In spite of his
good works he knew he still did not possess eternal Life. Discerning his problem Jesus said to him, "If
you will be perfect, go and sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in
heaven: and come and follow Me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away
sorrowful: for he had great possessions".
He chose to return to his Pharisee, Catholic, Anglican, Baptist or whatever his denomination was,
because he could live by their programs of carnal good "works" and try to purchase his way to heaven
donating his time and his money to serve men, but he was not prepared to forsake the world and the
things of the world and give his heart to God that He may serve the Word by faith. He was happy to do
what he and the natural world could, see, taste, touch, hear or smell, but he was not willing to
surrender the things of the world to receive faith, which is the evidence of things not seen, tasted,
touched, heard or smelt, Spiritual surety of things that are to be.
Malachi 1 and Romans 9 inform us the God of love and compassion declared before Jacob
and Esau were born, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated" because by foreknowledge
He knew Esau would have no respect for the birthright, which is election. Romans 9:14-24,
"What shall we say then? Was God unrighteousness [when He chose Jacob and rejected Esau before
either was born]? For he said to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have
compassion on whom I will have compassion."
"So then it is not a matter of man's willing or running, but God's mercy." This is where Judaisers,
Roman Catholics and Muslims fail, for true compassion is not doing good works to your fellow man as
"menpleasers," or keeping laws and ordinances, which is self-works, but knowing and doing the will of
God. If we can work our way to righteousness Jesus Christ died in vain. We can only please God by
faith, for it is by grace through faith, not works, that we please God.
Hebrews 11:5-6, "By faith Enoch was translated so that he should not see death; and was not found,
because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he who comes to God must believe that
he is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek His will".
Romans 9:17-25, "Pharaoh was an example of God's sovereign will [in that He shows compassion
upon those who have faith], God gave Pharaoh his kingdom for the very purpose that He might show
His awesome power against him, so that all the earth might hear of His glorious Name. Therefore he
shows mercy to whom He wills, and He hardens whom He wills."
"Then you will ask me, Why does He still complain? For who is resisting His will? O man, who are you
to criticize God? Should the thing made say to the one who made it, Why have you made me like this?
When a potter makes a vessel out of clay, does he not have the right to use the same lump to make
one vessel for noble use and another for common purpose? Does God not have the right to show His
wrath, and to make His dreadful power known against the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction
whom He has endured with much longsuffering; that He might make known the wealth of His glory to
the recipients of mercy, whom previously He prepared for glory, even us, whom He has called, not of
the Judeans only, but also of the Gentiles?"
The difference between sympathy and compassion is expressed in two Greek words, 'Phileo' and
'Agapao' love. Phileo love refers to human fellowship and friendly affection as between husband and
wife. But Agapao love comes from above and is benevolent love that stems from the mind of Christ in
you through faith, to know and do the will of God.
Through human sympathy Jesus might have prayed for every afflicted person at the pool of Bethesda,
but without the will of God's Word which discerns the thoughts and intents of the heart, His prayers
would have been in vain. Knowing the mind of God and what would come to pass, Jesus walked
