During Sunday Evening Story-Time on September 19, 2010, with the IL teaching elder, after he taught that ‘1 Thess. chapter 4 is information only Paul gives you’ .... and ‘1 Thess. chapter 5 is the prophetic program contrast’ .... he said, ‘There’s a progression of thought. It’s the rapture that triggers the day of the Lord.’
Could someone show me the verse that teaches that?
If so, please e-mail magnifiedword@aol.com
If not, then don’t follow the Cunning Royal Jester. Instead, believe GOD’s word:
Rom 4:3-a For what saith the scripture?
For many years, the Cunning Royal Jester has taught that the ‘pre-tribulation rapture’ will be followed by a period of YEARS .... which he termed ‘the prophetic gap’ .... to give time for the events of Daniel chapter 11, which reference unspecified numbers of years. However, the ‘middle’ of Daniel’s 70th week is identifiable by the abomination of desolation that will be set up in the holy place (Dan 11:31):
Dan 11:1-45 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.
2 And now will I shew thee the truth.
Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia;
and the fourth shall be far richer than they all:
and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.
5 And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.
6 And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.
7 But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:
8 And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north.
9 So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.
10 But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.
11 And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.
12 And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.
13 For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.
14 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.
15 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.
16 But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.
17 He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.
18 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.
19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.
20 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.
26 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
27 And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
28 Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
30 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. 40 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.
41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
So, evidently the Cunning Royal Jester is REPOSITIONING again .... unless he now classifies his (invented) ‘prophesied gap’ as being the beginning of the day of the Lord .... since he just preached last weekend that a ‘pre-tribulation rapture’ TRIGGERS the day of the Lord.
The Cunning Royal Jester is desperately trying to defend his paradigm without verses to back-up his story-telling. I think the old adage applies here:
The more you stir it, the more it stinks.
He has a mess on his hands.

The Horns of the Altar?
One of the 'mid-Acts' grace school test graders presented a seminar during which he said that, according to the 'prophecy program' .... the priests of Israel should have taken Jesus into the temple, bound and tied Him to the horns of the altar, and sacrificed Him. After his teaching session, my wife asked him where in the scripture he found such information, but he excused himself from us and walked away. I guess he is not used to being questioned to provide proof-texts for his claims.
Could someone show me the verse for such a claim.
If so, email magnifiedword@aol.com.
If not, then 'mid-Acts' doctrine should not be accepted.
Now that I am no longer a 'mid-Acts-er' myself, I think it is terrible that 'mid-Acts' preachers commonly and often make statements with no verse back-up. It's time they stopped getting away with it. They ought to be held accountable for their story-telling, make-believe theology.
This is David Dowell saying, "Think about it!"

The Last Means A First
In English grammar, the comparative is the form of an adjective which denotes the degree or grade by which a thing has a property or quality greater or less in extent than that of another.
Good - better.
First - second.
Old - new.
First - ? # - last.
Having a ‘new’ one .... makes the ‘first’ one be classified as ‘old’:
Heb 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Having a ‘better’ covenant .... makes the ‘first’ covenant be not as good:
Heb 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
Having a ‘second’ covenant .... forces the ‘previous’ covenant to be the ‘first’ covenant:
Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless,
then should no place have been sought for the second.
Having ‘the last trump’ .... means there had to be at least one ‘PREVIOUS’ trump, certainly a ‘first trump’.
GOD did not identify the ‘PREVIOUS’ trump or trumpets through PAUL .... but GOD DID identify them through JOHN. Sadly, ‘mid-Acts-ers’ are prejudiced against John and they won’t listen to GOD through him, or anyone else really .... lots of times, they even object to what Paul wrote.
‘The last trump’ .... means there had to be a ‘first’ trump. Since the Cunning Royal Jester will not submit to GOD’s word that shows where ‘the last trump’ is .... he simply made one of his own invention. He teaches (6-27-10) that at the 1st trump, the dead are raised, and at the 2nd (or last) trump, the alive are changed .... that there are just 2, and only 2, blasts from the same trumpet. Please show me the verse! (I know he can’t.)
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ REFUSE to accept ‘the LAST trump’ in the Revelation of Jesus Christ (Rev 1:1; 10:7; 11:15,18) because it is written by the apostle JOHN .... even though ‘the last trump’ will sound when Jesus will be revealed from heaven to punish His enemies and glorify His saints .... as written by PAUL, the apostle of the Gentiles (Rom 11:13), who the ‘mid-Acts-ers’ CLAIM to follow (but don’t):
2 Thess 1:7-10 And to you who are troubled rest with us,
when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
Good - better.
First - second.
Old - new.
First - ? # - last.

Just For Paul's Converts?
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ preach that only the saints who have been saved through the ministry of PAUL will be ‘raptured’ up .... into heaven where GOD lives.

Called Home?
Some time ago I visited a ‘mid-Acts’ church website, and was surprised to find these words, "Although our beloved pastor was called home recently. He continues to spread the message of grace and the love of God towards us through print, audio and video (And for those that knew him "personal example and application")."
Could anyone show me the VERSE that teaches that the Lord ‘calls people home’?
Furthermore, and even more shocking, was that the event that led to his demise was of his own intention. He committed suicide.
He participated as a leader in their youth camps. What kind of "personal example and application" did his decision to kill himself exhibit to impressionable young people?
Could anyone show me the VERSE that teaches that when a person commits suicide, it can be described as the Lord ‘calling them home’?
How does his congregation think the Lord ‘called him home’? Do they think the Lord sent him a message that it was his time to go home? How do they think God communicated that news? Did an angel deliver it? Did he consult a woman that had a familiar spirit, like King Saul did? Did a prophet from beyond the grave appear to him, like Samuel, to tell him "to morrow thou shalt be with me"? (see 1 Sam 28:7-19)
If so, please e-mail magnifiedword@aol.com.
If not, don’t believe the ‘mid-Acts-ers’.
Instead, trust the word of GOD.
Rom 4:3-a For what saith the scripture?
Furthermore, the congregation acknowledge their (former) pastor as a great teacher and student of the Word of God (KJV Bible). They say you can share and benefit from their pastor’s great understanding and knowledge of Gods word. They extend his hope and theirs that you may learn and understand in greater clarity of the grace of God through Jesus. They extend their appreciation to their (previous) pastor for being the man of God that he became through his own study of God’s word. For teaching them in dispensational understanding that makes their relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ complete.
As for me, I sure don’t want someone who took their own life teaching me (by previously recorded messages) how to live mine. That is warped.

A Revealing ‘Best Revelations’ Quote?
During Sunday Evening Story-Time on September 12 2010, the ‘teaching elder’ said,
‘A lot of your best revelations come when you’re preaching’.
Could anyone show me the VERSE that teaches that?
If so, please e-mail magnifiedword@aol.com.
If not, don’t believe the ‘mid-Acts-ers’.
Instead, trust the word of GOD.
This is the closest verse I can find. Surely the Cunning Royal Jester has not elevated himself to receiving direct revelations?
1 Cor 14:6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
I think the Cunning Royal Jester just says whatever he wants to say, and bets dollars to doughnut holes that people will give him a pass. He has convinced himself and others that he has superior knowledge, and they can trust and accept whatever he says.

Rapture for ONLY Saints Saved by Paul’s Ministry?
The Cunning Royal Jester teaches that only the people who have believed the gospel through the ministry of the apostle PAUL are in the body of Christ. He teaches that ALL OTHER saints are NOT included ‘with them’ .... but that they are in a DIFFERENT program, being Israel’s prophecy (or kingdom) program.
Could anyone show me the VERSE that teaches that ONLY the saints who are saved through PAUL’s ministry are in the body of Christ, and that ONLY they will be resurrected .... SEGREGATED from ALL other saints who trusted Christ?

Firstborn is Not First Born?
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ have an awful time with ‘first’ and ‘last’.
During September 5, 2010, Sunday Evening Story-Time with the IL teaching elder .... he said, ‘Firstborn .... the term is not talking about being first born, but about being the head, heir, ruler of all things.’
Could anyone show me the VERSE that teaches that?
If so, please e-mail magnifiedword@aol.com.
If not, don’t believe the ‘mid-Acts-ers’.
Instead, trust the word of GOD.
Rom 4:3-a For what saith the scripture?
Evidently, the Cunning Royal Jester based his assignment of the word ‘firstborn’ on this next verse (Col 1:18) .... where he made ‘firstborn’ to equal ‘head’ .... but that is NOT how the VERSE reads:
Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church:
who is the beginning,
the firstborn from the dead;
that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Furthermore, try these other uses of ‘firstborn’:
Psa 135:6-8 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. (Exo 12:12)
Matt 1:24-25 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Heb 12:22-24 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem (which PAUL - by inspiration of GOD - said is "the mother of us all" in Gal 4:26), and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
The Cunning Royal Jester’s assigned meaning of the word ‘firstborn’ is yet another example of ‘mid-Acts’ confusion of 2 simple words like ‘first’ and ‘last’. They don’t accept firstborn as born first, and they don’t like the last trump being the last of the 7 trumpets.

Mistaken Identity
During a recent message, one of the Cunning Royal Jesters’ JOKERS taught that the IDENTITY (in Rev 10:7) of ‘His servants the prophets’ was the nation Israel.
Rev 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Could anyone show me the VERSE that teaches ISRAEL is His servants the prophets?
If so, please e-mail magnifiedword@aol.com.

The Joker also tried to make believers now be something different from God’s people Israel, by saying, ‘When you become a son, you are no longer a servant. Israel, they’re waiting to become a priest.’
He also said that 'His servants the prophets knew nothing about the dispensation of grace'. By that I suppose the Joker hasn't read the scripture:
1 Peter 1:10-12 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
Rom 4:3-a For what saith the scripture?
This is David Dowell, saying, "Think about it!"
Rev 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Could anyone show me the VERSE that teaches ISRAEL is His servants the prophets?

Stretching His Voice
During Sunday Evening Story-Time on July 25, 2010, in 1 Thess 4:16, the Cunning Royal Jester, who claims to be no singer himself, stretched the voice of the archangel. He said the voice of the archangel is the ‘restoration of Israel, the signal to restart the prophetic program’.
Could anyone show me the VERSE that teaches the archangel’s voice is that of Michael’s, and that his voice indicates the resumption of Israel’s program at the 2nd coming of Christ?
If so, please e-mail magnifiedword@aol.com.
If not, don’t believe the ‘mid-Acts-ers’.
Instead, trust the word of GOD.
Rom 4:3-a For what saith the scripture?
1 Thess 4:16, does not say what the Cunning Royal Jester taught about it:
1 Thess 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
The ‘teaching elder’ is singing out of his range .... stretching that the voice has to do with Michael’s standing for the nation of Israel.
This is David Dowell, saying, "Think about it!"
