I want to share this testimony of how God is using me during this Global Rain Operation to share His Love and Truth! My name is Matthew J. Allen, Although I am a native of Lowell, Ma. I have lived here in Up-State New York for about the last 27 years off and on. I first left Massachusetts in 1972 for reasons beyond my control, I tell the story in my book. In-fact, the many events that happened in the book and most of the people mentioned in the book are all from either Lowell, Ma or the east coast area- nearby Up-State New York.It was later from this move to New York that I found out about Adventist and was baptised into Christ as a SDA in 1976 I was 21 years old. I am employed by the State of New York in Albany. But I am currently out of work with a physical disability injury. Now that I am home with this disability I have had time to finish my manuscript that I have been working on for the last 2 years. I wanted to be involved in this Global Rain Operation and being disabled I asked the Lord to show me what I could do to give the Everlasting Gospel Message and He impressed upon me to finish the book. It covers in great detail the four angel’s of Revelation, but it lifts up Christ as the center of it all. I asked the Lord to help me complete the book to His Glory and I completed most of it on 7/7/07 and now it is being published and promoted in book stores. So I thank and praise the Lord, that although I am physically disabled, I can still work with Him to bring love and salvation to souls and Glory to Him! A major book Publisher was impressed with the book and agreed to publish it. I chose and wanted to have a non-Adventist Publishing Company publish and promote it to get it in all book stores not just Adventist, so more non- Adventist could find the truth through it.

Following, here is a copy of the Press Release issued today April 11, 2008 about my book.Frederick, MD April 11, 2008 — PublishAmerica is proud to present Convincing Evidence of God: Subtitle: Revelation’s Four Messengers - Final Events Predicted, by Matthew James Allen of Stephentown, New York.

Matthew James Allen is a fifty-two-year-old male,married with children, an active born-again Christian, and a native of Lowell, Massachusetts. “I am amazed as I study the Holy Bible and see that prophecies are being fulfilled just as the Holy Bible predicted war and rumors of wars and other last-day signs of the times, including America in prophecy,” Allen said. “To show you very convincing evidence of God-Jesus Christ, we will investigate these Bible prophecies.” Allen has served in his church as a colporteur minister, evangelist, personal ministries director and Bible worker for several years. He has studied Bible theology for about twenty-five years and the writings of many scholars and great theologians, and he has learned much to share in this book that reveals God’s love and plans for you and planet earth, including last-day prophecies.What is God really like? Is the Bible the truth, and why? Are the Ten Commandments important? Understand the book of Revelation. What is the mark of the beast? What is genuine righteousness by faith? Is Christ coming soon? Are we living in the last days, and much more! Some topics in this book are very controversial, interpretations different than you have ever heard before, but we must allow the Bible to interpret itself. Prayerfully investigate these things for yourself and determine the truth. Lord God, “Sanctify them by the truth, your word is truth” (John 17:17). “And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free” (John 8:23)

The book also shares my younger years growing up in the 1970’s as a hippie, gangster, and military soldier to a SDA Christian too! I would like to have some book reviews to use to help market the book in more Adventist and nonAdventist book stores and book signings. I will send a free copy of the book to anyone that request it and will write a good review of it. Although the book is avialable online from the Publisher, it will not be in all the book stores until about 4-6 weeks.

God verse

In God I have discovered a whole another world that I never new was there. God has lead me down a path that I could never imagine. Also, I have learned thing from God and have got wisbdom and knowledge that noone but God could have gave me. Throw God I have learned how to love again and forgive people for what they had done to me. Not to brill in the past and how to surrend everyday. But picking up my cross was the hardest all and to forgive an forget.

Is the Book of Ester a Special Message to the Formal Seventh-day Adventist Church Today?

Esther means star. We often think of the star of Bethlehem this time of the year. How often do we think about Esther, the Queen of Persia?

Esther served a most important mission for the saving of her people. Not only was she instrumental in saving the faithful few, the remnant, those truly being God’s own people. She also helped saving those who were merely professing being a child of God.

Today we see a star or stars as the preferred symbol on many a flag and upon many a military mission. May the two stars be compared?:

1) Esther, the Star of the bible, and

2) a man or a woman identifying with the star(s) of the State(s)?

Does God have a message for the formal Seventh-day Adventist Church similar to the message brought to Esther the Queen via her first cousin Mordecai? Is there in existence today any power, any group or anyone having similar aspirations as did Haman? Is there anyone wishing to destroy God’s very own people, God’s very own church? Is there anyone today wishing to destroy the Seventh-day Adventist people?

Are there any plans being laid today for the destruction of God’s very own people? Are any such plans being brought before the most powerful and influential political leaders of today? Are there any plans today for enforcing the Sunday laws that’s been on the books for so long? Has Pope Benedict made any statements to that effect recently? He has, has he not?!

Recently someone sent me a link to some not so subtle plans that remind me of Haman’s suggestions to King Ahasuerus:

Est 3:8 And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it is not for the king’s profit to suffer them.

Est 3:9 If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.

I believe that in a very real sense the formal Seventh-day Adventist Church is legally married to the State we know of as District of Columbia and Washington DC. The marriage license is perhaps not known as such, but is known instead as the General Conference Corporation of Seventh-day Adventists and is registered as such under the State of Maryland and also under the District of Columbia. Accordingly, just as in a marriage contract between husband and wife, all property of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, not necessarily excluding its membership (as quite clearly delineated in the SDA Year Book (cf. the first few sections of the Year Book as revised at the GC in Toronto!)) is now under the trusteeship of Washington DC. Who is the stronger party in this marriage? Which one of them is to be considered the husband? Which one is the wife? Or are they both women? What is the nature of this relationship? In biblical terms: How is this relationship best described?

What seems to me even more worrisome, however, is that a similar relationship is being entertained between a great many, even most, of the individual members of the church and the State. Indeed, from my point of view, in a very real sense, our formal church, individually as well as congregationally, is as truly wedded in matrimony to the State as was Esther to King Ahasuerus of Persia.

Interestingly too, I find that in not a few instances, it appears as though just as Esther enjoyed a very favored relationship to King Ahasuerus so also at present our beloved SDA church is enjoying a very favored relationship to various State governments throughout this world. Perhaps, as with Esther, this situation has come to pass for a very particular purpose?

Est 4:14… Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

Indeed, isn’t there also a cousin like relationship between various factions within our church body which is reminiscent of the following words?:

Est 4:3 And in every province, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

Est 4:4 So Esther’s maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not.

Accordingly, would it be out of place for me at this time to reiterate the very words of Mordecai who was being seen as an eye sore sitting at the gate of the king?:

Est 4:13 Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jews.

Est 4:14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

Is there anyone within the formal Seventh-day Adventist church membership that is willing to do as Esther did? Anyone willing to risk something, even his or her life, for the sake of all of our people?:

Est 4:15 Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer,

Est 4:16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

Now, what was the very beginning of Esther’s rise to becoming the King’s bride and the Queen of the nation? Was it not the failure of certain parties in power, the King and the Queen, to recognize and respect each their responsibilities for guarding the the sanctity of their own as well as each and every family regardless of all appearances? (Cf. Esther 1:7, 9, 12, 15-18.)

And the Lord said: Read “The Broken Blueprint” for yourself!

And the word of the Lord came to me, and the Lord said:

- Read The Broken Blueprint by Vance Farrell!

-Why Lord, should I read that book?

And the Lord said:

-Did you ever stop to think and consider why your beloved church is falling apart and why your families are falling apart? Did you ever consider implementing my words to you: “Remember!… Remember on the Sabbath Day, the last day of the week! Look back and consider what is happening to you and yours right now in your very own church, and why! Are you allowing me to constantly cleans you, purify you, refine you, sanctify you, and keep you holy? Are you staying in tune with my time and with my time cycles such that you and I will actually both be at all the places where I have arranged for us to meet for our dates? Are you keeping yourself pure for me? Or are you seeking the approval and accreditation of another power and authority? I have a love message for you in the book The Broken Blueprint! That’s why!

-But Lord, someone I really trust and look up to and who told me that he read the book said…

And the Lord said:

-Did I ever tell you to listen to anyone else before me? Did I ever tell you that you do not need to read the book for your self? Didn’t I tell you to read and to heed my words directly to you regardless of what anyone else is saying? Did I ever tell you that anyone else’s impression of this or that is more important or more correct than the impression I am giving you directly when you truly turn to me, seek me in prayer, and study my words until you ever more fully understand my words for your self? Didn’t I tell you?: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me!” Thou shalt have no other authorities before or besides me! Who do you wish to be your owner and master?: The ones that I point out to you in each particular? Or, the ones you vote into your offices to be your government? Who do you trust to protect you and for keeping you and yours alive? Me, the creator and sustainer of all life? Or that which contaminates life, complicates life and your relationships, destroys health, happiness, and life, and which is perfected only in death and eternal non-existance? Have I not given you forever and while you are yet alive the power and the freedom to choose between me and another, between coming to me or going away from me? Have I not made it clear to you that the choice is yours and yours alone? Have i not made it clear to you that you cannot walk in two opposite directions at the same time? Do you wish to be with me in my Kingdom or do you not? I love you. I long for you. I miss you when you are not near me. I wish for you to share with me all the blessings I keep creating for you. Please: “Remember…” to study for ever more my broken blueprint!

Dangerous game

I want to ask everyone to pray for a man and his son who are coming to our church. The man married one of our church members a few years ago, and he and his son began to attend with her regularly. They were both expressing a desire to join, but didn’t feel quite ready (good enough), as they had certain bad habits, etc.

Then the woman was hit by a car and died - the woman who introduced them to God and showed them how to live. They were devastated, as you might imagine. But they continue to come occasionally, especially the father. Several of our members make a point to visit them and help them any way they can, but we need the Holy Spirit’s power to lead and to open their hearts. The son is feeling the pull of his old life and friends, and is getting himself deeper into trouble even though he knows where it can lead.

The devil is working, but pray that God will out-work him!

Thanks and God bless!

Tax Attack

Dear Friends, the dragon is angry. Last night aft sundown some members of our church who are very active in working for the Kingdom received word that the IRS of the USA is disallowing all their controbutions to our local church. I will tell you that our local church has always been very careful in its handling of money. As many in our congregation give liberal portions of our income, many of us have been audited many times. Never have we had a problem. Someone we know who worked for GCAS and for a while for a tax accountant informs us that the implications of this for the American church is incalculable.

I find myself asking myself if I have given all I could while the giving has been easy. Will I give as willingly if I cannot count it on my taxes? How will I feel with what I have left when we are no longer able to support God’s work with our funds at all? What else is ahead of us? Will such things wake more of our people out of their sleep? What way can we respond so that God’s kingdom is promoted?

Please pray that we will know how best to respond to this.

Yours in the Blessed Hope,

Shining

Operation Global Rain website and The Latter Rain

I have alot of prayer requests, but right now I just wanna say one thats really on my heart right now, and that is…

I pray that this website stay active and that God help us all remember to keep praying for the latter rain.

Harry Potter and other things that are of Satan!

There are so many children that are being deceived by Satan with Harry Potter and other things of the Devil.

So my prayer request is that we pray that all people that watch, read, and play with things of Satan will have opened eyes and God will keep working in all our hearts because we all need His help to stop Satan from trying to take God’s children captive.

Deuteronomy 18:9-12 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 10There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. 11Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

What is so Important about the Sign of Jonah that it Should Be the Only Sign?

The other day the Lord blessed me with making a discovery re the sign of the prophet Jonah that I never knew before. I found it as a result of making an in depth study of Matthew 28:1 and Mark 16:2 after having for years been pondering the exact wordage of Matthew 12:40. Please follow the link to learn more as Yahweh leads each of us onwards, ever onwards, and closer to Himself!

Praise the Lord! Yahweh be His name!

Please pray that each one of us may do as Noah did and look into the eyes of God and recognize the true characteristics of our beingness! (Genesis 6:8.)

My Next Prayer: Teach Me Ever More Fully the Meaning of Each Word in the Scriptures!

Praise the Lord for answer to prayer! Plans and decisions have been made for continuing this web site and to make a continuance on Operation Global Rain. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Lord of Hosts!

My next prayer is that I, and all of us, should continue to grow into an ever fuller understanding and realization of the many blessings in store for each and all of His Sons and Daughters within each and every word in the Holy Scriptures.

I believe God is wishing to use each and everyone of us as a tool towards this purpose.

God is the Creator of a multi-dimensional universe. I have no doubt but that most of us have realized new and additional lessons of light from time to time in one and the same text passage or even in one and the same word. Sharing these experiences with one another through witnessing certainly multiplies these blessings, do they not?

Here are a few of the most striking realizations the Lord has been opening my eyes to over the years:

- - -

The cross:

Something or someone that stands straight up for the God of Truth.

[ In Hebrew - cf. Strong’s Dictionary - the last letter of the alphabet, tav, is also a word meaning ’sign’ or ‘cross.’ In Greek the first letter in the word Christ ‘χ‘ looks like a cross, or don’t you agree? But, more importantly, the root meaning of the Greek word translated ‘cross’ is ‘to stand straight up.’ ]

- - -

Abel:

The meaning of the Hebrew name Abel is ‘worthlessness’ or ‘vanity.’ This realization was a great surprise for me! But it taught me a lot of things.

One of the differences between the sacrifices of Cain and Abel was that one was an apparent act of worship following the exterior format of God’s word while sadly missing the point of the inherent lesson. The consequence naturally being that of also losing the intended blessing. Thus in effect Cain’s sacrifice, in my mind, may be best characterized as an empty ritual. That is, doing something that is just a wee bit off from the original instructions such that the correct strings of my mind is not set in motion and I fail to get the gist of that still small voice.

Abel sacrificed and burned that which to me symbolizes empty, skewed, and meaningless acts of worship. That is, Abel burned up - got rid of - that which is worthless and vain in thought, word and action. - And was blessed by so doing!

- - -

Sin:

To miss the point.

[ The Greek word translated ’sin’ is given by Strong’s as ‘to miss the mark.’ ]

Notice the close connection between the focal point of this word, sin, and the lesson I learned from the name ‘Abel’ above!

- - -

Ceremonial:

An empty ritual. A word or act never ordained by God.

What is forever to be nailed to the cross? What is forever to be burned into nothingness by the ever cleansing fire of the God of truth and understanding - of the God that Is and of that which is what it is?

What ceremonial laws are forever to be nailed to the cross? The ordinances designed by God to be forever a true tuning fork teaching and tuning us towards the music, harmonies, and frequencies of the Creator? Or all such thoughts, words, and acts of habit and tradition as have little more value than did the ritual sacrifice of Cain?

How does this apply to the words of God spoken in Leviticus 23? Does any eternal word, spoken by God and expressly stated to remain “forever,” ever burn until it is no more? Or is it our missed points, our misunderstandings, that are to burn until they exist no more?

What is the point of being oriented to God’s own time? Does music, harmony, and the beauty of nature have anything to do with time? Do you know of anyone being disoriented to time? Does it make a difference?

Do we have anything to lose by timing our get togethers, our ‘holy convocations,’ in accord with the instructions in Leviticus 23? If we do, is that the same as suggesting that we should also introduce the same or similar meaningless rituals as has through time, ever since Cain and Abel, only led to meaningless bloodshed and loss of true and real value, and so many of the countless blessings forever intended to each and every one of us by our Maker?

This quarter’s Sabbath School Quarterly is entitled: “For Better of for Worse.” The Feast of Tabernacles to the Hebrew mind has everything to do with the Wedding ceremony between God the Father and His Bride, that is God the Father becoming one with His People, His Church. Individually we are created for being the Sons and Daughters of God, but all of us taken together constitutes something more, a creature of somewhat different nature, our Mother Church. And the One and only Head of that Household is God the Father, is He not? Each of us are to be tuned in accord with the will of the Father. How else can our Mother ever even hope to be in harmony and peace while in a happy and joyful marriage with our Father? How else can our Mother and our Father ever even hope to both be at the same time at the same place while dating together?

Does recognizing the true biblical timing for the Day of Trumpets, the Day of At-One-Meant, the Feast of Tabernacles, and the Eighth Day have any value? Will we ever know the difference if we never give it a try? What blessings may we be missing out on if we keep on believing that some of God’s eternal ordinances and teaching tools have been “nailed to the cross?”

Could we be in danger of killing Able, our beloved brother? Could it be that Able represents the true Sons and Daughters of God who “stands straight and upright” for the truths of their convictions while step by little step following the Light as given them as they are each little by little and day by day being anointed by the oil of the Holy Scriptures?

What will happen to the American People - “Am-erica-n” may be derived from words meaning “People of Kings” - if they, we, fail to recognize the difference between our Father in Heaven and her that is created to stand “beside” Him, being one with Him, but not before Him? In this context, could it be that I am perceiving a little bit clearer the meaning of the words:

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me?“
