The 'Joshua & the Battle of Jericho' Video

What still amazes me (even to this day!) is how I learned every detail of the Bible’s stories as a child, knowing them throughout my life, and yet never once do I remember questioning “Why?” about them.  They are so amazing, so incredible, so extraordinary, and yet I never asked, “I wonder why God wanted it done like that?”  Or, “Why did God do that?”  Or, “Why did God ask them to do that?”  I’ve always thought myself a fairly curious and inquisitive person, so it just AMAZES me that I failed to think anything more of God’s Bible stories.  I must confess I feel pretty naïve, dumb, and humbled whenever I think about it, and I cringe when someone tries to make ME out as the person who has somehow “figured out” the Biblical knowledge I’ve written about in my (really God’s!) book.  But it’s all part of this cross I now bear in delivering this exciting, life-changing message to the people of the world.

So how about the Old Testament story of Joshua & the Israelites conquering Jericho?  What an UNBELIEVABLE story, right?  I was hanging onto God’s every word as a child … "march around the city once for each of 6 days, don’t breathe a word, march around the city 7 times on the 7th day, make a long trumpet blast after the last time around, everyone shout, the walls will fall, and go up and take the city!  Whaaaaaat!!!  Are you joking?  Why didn’t I question any of this?  What was God doing?  What was He thinking!!!  Look, there are only three beliefs a person can have when considering the Old Testament Bible stories: (1) They are fairy tales, (2) They are real, with God doing very specific things for no reason at all, like some insane maniac, or (3) They are real, and every detail of what God did in them has tremendous meaning.  Which do you think is the case?

Oh, my friend … God is INCREDIBLE!!!  He is AMAZING!!!  He is THE ORIGINAL PROPHET!!!  His Bible’s stories are all PROPHECY!!!  The angel told John the Revelator: “the testimony of Jesus is the SPIRIT of PROPHECY” (The Revelation 19:10).  Why did God want to prophesy the future to mankind?  For PROOF to you and me that He exists! Listen, God set this world up in such a way that mankind understands NO mere MAN can know what is going to happen tomorrow.  Then God comes along in His Word and does just that!!!  That’s your proof, folks!  The existence of God is undeniable to anyone who will honestly study the Scriptures.  And why does God want you to be FULLY PERSUADED He exists?  Because then you have reason to desire to know, love, and please Him.  And this is all VERY GOOD towards the state of your eternal destiny!  Yes, God’s prophetic Word was written to increase mankind’s faith in God.

On October 26, 2010 (two days ago, a year back) I uploaded my sixth Bible teaching video entitled “Joshua & the Battle of Jericho (A prophetic picture of Christ’s Second Coming)”.  I pray you will watch the video.  It’s intense.  You may have to pause it here and there.  You may even have to watch it several times.  But in the end, your faith will grow as you learn (without a shadow of a doubt) the entire battle scene of Joshua & the Israelites conquering Jericho was a PRECISE PROPHETIC PICTURE of Jesus Christ’s soon coming battle with the Antichrist and an Earth full of ungodly people during his Second Coming.

Beware of Today's Preachers!

On Sunday July 22, 2007 I was attending church.  As I went to sit down in my pew after the worship portion of the service was over, I unexpectedly heard God speak these words very clearly and sternly to me: “Get your Bible and your things and LEAVE NOW!!!”  Woah, I was SHOCKED!  But believe me … I KNOW the Lord’s voice, so I immediately got my things together and embarrassedly ran out of there like the building was on fire! Now, I don’t know if you’ve ever heard the Lord speak to you directly, but if you have, you know there is always additional understanding that follows His few spoken words.  Well, such was the case this day … for even as I was fleeing the church, I knew what He was telling me was He didn’t want me attending ANY church buildings anymore!  And I obeyed, and am still obeying to this day.

Then, less than 5 months later, on the Saturday Sabbath morning of December 8, 2007, I awoke to the powerful presence of the Spirit of the Lord revealing to me the incredible meaning behind the Israelite's bondage-to-Promise Land story.  It was information I had NEVER heard from ANY minister on TV or in ALL my years of church going.  It was knowledge I didn’t even know existed in God’s Word!  I again was SHOCKED!  And the rest is history … much more incredible Biblical understanding, the book, the website, the videos, this blog, and now technology where I am able to contact over 400 new people everyday with this message.  No doubt, it’s been a remarkable journey!

Now listen, I’m not advocating people run from their churches.  I’ve written this blog to bear witness to what’s happened to me, because people online continually ask me, “Do you go to church, and if so, where?”  So now I can simply point them to this blog, which will save me time in answering the many emails I get each day.  But I do want to say the following in all sincerity and concern for you: Be VERY WARY of whom you listen to expound on God’s Word, for Satan has concocted many subtly false and disastrous doctrines that he speaks through preacher’s mouths in today’s church world.  The point of these doctrines is threefold: (1) to make you believe obtaining eternal life is a sure thing from something you did once, prayed once, or mentally acknowledge, (2) to remove your fear of God, and (3) to lessen your desire and concern for having to live righteously.  The end result is … you remain FULL of pride (selfishness), love your earthly life, and willfully sin (disobey the 10 love commandments) at every step, all the while attending church each week and thinking you are fine and on your way to heaven, when the reality is you are fumbling and stumbling like a drunkard headfirst towards the precipice of hell!

None of this should surprise you though, for the VERY SAME THINGS (deceptive and destructive demonic doctrines) were being told through preacher's mouths in Jesus’ day. Listen to Christ confront them about it: “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces. You won’t go in yourselves, and you don’t let others enter either. What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shamelessly cheat widows out of their property and then pretend to be pious by making long prayers in public. Because of this, you will be severely punished. What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn that person into twice the child of hell you yourselves are!” (Matthew 23:13-15).  I’ll leave it to you to discern how these EXACT SAME THINGS are happening today!  But please, please, for the love of the eternal destiny of your soul, beware of today’s preachers my dear friends: "Beware of the deceptive teachings of the Pharisees and Sadducees" - Jesus (Matthew 16:6)

The 'What is Truth' Video

In last week’s blog I wrote: “The Bible is like a puzzle with its many terms — e.g. love, truth, light, bearing fruit, faith, grace, etc — being the pieces.  Sadly, most people (even preachers) have no clue how these pieces all neatly fit together; thus, when reading the Bible, most people become confused, and the truth of God’s salvational (how to obtain eternal life) doctrine always remains unclear in their mind.  Truly, the most important aspect of the book God had me write is the fact that while the reader is reading it, the beautiful pieces (terms) of God’s Word begin snapping together in their mind, and when they are finished, leave them staring in perfect clarity at a completed picture of God’s Word.  And this wisdom and understanding is priceless, for the reader then knows with complete assurance the truth of God’s salvational doctrine, which gives them a better chance of DOING what they need to DO to lay hold on eternal life for their soul.”

After writing the above last week, I then discussed how the “10 Commandments” are really just a detailed explanation of the “Two Great Commandments” — namely, (1) to love God with all your heart and (2) to love your neighbor as yourself (also known as the “Golden Rule”).  The first 4 Commandments express how to love God and the last 6 express how to love your neighbor.  Thus, the 10 Commandments can and should be forever known in people’s minds as the “10 LOVE Commandments”, which equal the Golden Rule!  I wish this information was so engrained in people’s spirits that whenever they heard the word “love” they would instantly think, “Oh, that’s the 10 Commandments!”  Or if they heard someone talking about the 10 Commandments, they would instantly think “Oh, that’s just how a person LOVES!”

Ok, so this week I’m breaking out a new Bible puzzle piece … the word is “TRUTH”.  This is so simple folks … are you ready?  The Truth is Love!  Yes, the “Truth” is also EXACTLY equal to the “10 Love Commandments” & the “Golden Rule”.  Do you understand?  Don’t take this revelation lightly, for it will help GREATLY in comprehending God’s Word.  For instance, Jesus said: “For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that DOETH TRUTH cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God (love)” (John 3:19-21).  See, “doing truth” means “obeying the 10 Love Commandments”.  In other words, Jesus was saying, “Anyone that keeps the 10 Love Commandments loves the light, and their deeds are proved Godly.”

Well, I’m not going to rewrite the book in this blog, but I sincerely hope you find time to read the book I wrote … the “Truth” chapter is chapter 12.  On October 12, 2010 (two days ago, a year back) I uploaded the video I created called “What is Truth” to support the message in this chapter of the book.  May it bless you mightily.

The 'What is Love' video

The Bible is like a puzzle with its many terms — e.g. love, truth, light, bearing fruit, faith, grace, etc — being the pieces.  Sadly, most people (even preachers) have no clue how these pieces all neatly fit together; thus, when reading the Bible, most people become confused, and the truth of God’s salvational (how to obtain eternal life) doctrine always remains unclear in their mind.  Truly, the most important aspect of the book God had me write is that while the reader is reading it, the beautiful pieces (terms) of God’s Word begin to snap together in their mind, and when they are finished, leave them staring in perfect clarity at a completed picture of God’s Word.  This wisdom and understanding is priceless, for the reader then knows with absolute assurance the full truth of God’s salvational doctrine, which gives them a better chance at DOING what they need to DO to lay hold on eternal life for their soul.

In this regard, just this past week I received the following perplexing comment on one of my YouTube videos: “Did you know that the greatest of all commandments are not part of the Ten Commandments?  Actually, all the commandments and laws are derived from only two commandments.  Jesus said this, answering the question of law experts in Matthew 22:36-40: ‘Teacher, which commandment is the greatest? And He said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all your soul and with all thy mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”  Do you hear the puzzlement?  This person started out by saying the two greatest commandments are NOT part of the Ten Commandments, then turns right around and says all the commandments are part of the two greatest commandments.  Huh?

The truth is this; the two great commandments ARE part of the 10 love commandments … they simply summarize them!  The first 4 love commandments define how to ‘love God with all your heart’ and the last 6 define how to ‘love your neighbor as yourself’.  Paul wrote: “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself” (Romans 13:8-9).  See how the terms “the ten commandments” & “the two great commandments (better known as the Golden Rule)” fit together?  They are the same thing!  They are TOTALLY a part of each other!

After I replied to the above person, they wrote me back: “Yea, in Romans 13:8-10, Apostle Paul hit the nail right on the head with this.  It’s beautiful!  Gabriel, I’m reading your book.  It’s amazing.”  Yes, God’s Word is AMAZING!  It’s a beautiful masterpiece once fully understood.  Interestingly, on October 7, 2010 (exactly one year ago, today) I uploaded my fifth Bible teaching YouTube video entitled “What is Love” which deals precisely with the subject this person’s comment raised this week.

The Feast of Trumpets

One of the most amazing subjects to learn about in the Bible is God’s 7 Feasts and the incredible prophetic significance behind them.  In the wilderness (circa 1334 BC) God first announced these feasts to the Israelites through Moses: “And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, concerning the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts …” (Leviticus 23:1-2).  The word “feast” was translated from the Hebrew word “mô’ēd” meaning: meeting; appointed time, designated time, season.  And the word “convocation” was translated from the Hebrew word “migrā” meaning: assembly, calling the community together.  Subsequently, these 7 feasts were God’s “appointed times” each year for assembling the people together.  But for what reason?  What was God’s purpose in establishing these holy feast days?  Oh, it couldn’t be more AMAZING!

In the remainder of Leviticus chapter 23 God gives the instructions behind and specific day(s) to keep each of the 7 feasts based on a lunar calendar.  Three feasts were to be kept in the spring month of Nissan: Passover on the 14th, Unleavened Bread from the 15th to 21st, and Firstfruits on the day after the weekly Sabbath occurring during the days of Unleavened Bread.  The fourth feast, the Feast of Weeks, was to be kept 50 days after Firstfruits.  And the last three feasts were to be kept in the fall month of Tishri: Trumpets on the 1st of the month (new moon phase), Day of Atonement on the 10th, and Tabernacles from the 15th to 21st.

Well, when the messiah Christ Jesus arrived on Earth and died on the very day of Passover, becoming our Passover Lamb — “for even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us” (I Corinthians 5:7) — and rose from the grave on the very day of Firstfruits, becoming the firstfruits resurrection of the dead — “But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept … but every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming” (I Corinthians 15:20-23) — and sent the Holy Ghost on the very day of the Feast of Weeks (“Pentecost” is a Greek word meaning “50” for the 50 days the Feast of Weeks was kept after Firstfruits) it became rather obvious to those enlightened that something special was behind God’s feasts!  They were as Paul later wrote: “a shadow of things to come” (Colossians 2:17).  Yes, God’s first 4 feasts were prophecy, revealing the VERY DAYS (during a calendar year) in which God the Messiah met with mankind during the time of his First Coming!

Now friend, it doesn’t take a genius to understand the significance behind the remaining three feasts and to realize they too are “appointed times” God has penciled in to meet with mankind in the very near future: Trumpets, Atonement, & Tabernacles!  These are CLEARLY the events left to occur during the time of Christ’s Second Coming: his rapturous return at a Trumpet blast — “And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet …” (Matthew 24:31) — his official Atonement of the saints — “that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come … and he shall send Jesus Christ … whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things” (Acts 3:19-21) — and his official Tabernacle with us — “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them” (The Revelation 21:3).  Yes, without a doubt, these three feasts will be fulfilled too on their VERY DAYS during a soon coming calendar year.  This year the Feast of Trumpets is occurring right now!  So if you get a chance tonight, go outside and look up at the moonless sky, for THIS is the time of year Christ will return, at the very end of the Antichrist's reign during the phase of a new fall moon!

The 'Sodom & Gomorrah' video

After uploading my testimony video “Gabriel Ansley’s Miraculous Testimony” on September 15, 2010, I was immediately inspired to begin work on creating a video for the revelation God had given me behind the story of Sodom & Gomorrah.  Amazingly, only eight days later I was finished with it, and I uploaded it on September 23, 2010 (exactly a year ago today).  There were no miracles behind the making of this video, except for possibly the “Jewish month” transpiring during which God inspired me to create it, which corresponds perfectly with the meaning behind the story.  I’ll explain.

The Biblical account of God’s wrathful destruction of the land of Sodom & Gomorrah and ALL its wicked inhabitants with FIRE, while saving only ONE righteous ‘house of people’ (Lot’s house) by sending angels to lead them out of the city right before the destruction commenced was/is a precise prophetic picture of what’s going to take place on Earth during Jesus Christ’s Second Coming!  At Christ’s return “immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days” (Matthew 24:29) there will be two types of people on Earth — the wicked who have taken the Antichrist’s mark (in order to be able to buy and sell) and the righteous who have not.  The wicked make up the ‘house of the devil’ which is why Jesus said, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do” (John 8:44) and the righteous make up the ‘house of Christ’ which is why Paul wrote, “But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we …” (Hebrews 3:6).  In the end, the righteous will be saved and the wicked will be destroyed.

So it’s just like the story of Sodom & Gomorrah portrayed ... on the day of Christ’s return God will “send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together (rapture) his elect (one righteous house) from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other” (Matthew 24:31) lifting them up off planet Earth into the air to be safe with the Lord, while God simultaneously rains down fire and brimstone, setting the ENTIRE earth on fire to destroy ALL the wicked: “For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and ALL the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts” (Malachi 4:1).  And “the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be BURNED UP” (II Peter 3:10).

This terrible and great ‘day of the Lord’ will arrive during God’s 5th yearly commemorated feast day, known as the the 'Feast of Trumpets'.  God's 7 Feasts (or appointed times with mankind) were prophetic "shadows of things to come" (Colossians 2:16-17).  Jesus fulfilled the prophetic meaning behind the first 4 Feasts on their VERY DAYS during the year of his death, which was Earth’s 4,000 year; subsequently, we would be extremely naive to not understand he will fulfill the prophetic meaning behind the last 3 Feasts on their VERY DAYS during the year of his Second Coming, which will be Earth’s 6,000 year.  The Feast of Trumpets occurs at the phase of a new moon in the late summer/early fall months of each year.  It is penciled in for September 21, 2028 (a HIGHLY LIKELY year of Christ’s return) which is two days less than 17 years from tonight!

The Miracle behind 'Gabriel Ansley's Miraculous Testimony' Video

After experiencing the amazing thunderous rainstorm and rainbow miracle (mirroring the Flood story of Noah!) on the Saturday Sabbath of August 21, 2010, contemporaneous with my creation of the “Noah’s Ark & the Flood” video, I uploaded the video on Monday August 23, 2010.  The next day I woke up, turned on my computer, and tried to connect to the internet … and nothing.  “Hmmm, what’s up?” I wondered.  Then I noticed my external modem was not showing any blinking green lights (not a good sign).  So after several calls (back and forth) to AT&T during the day and some waiting, long story short, I got the news that night from AT&T that my modem was fried and that it would be 3 days or so until they would have a new one at my door.

Confused, I woke up the next day, walked out to my couch in the living room, and sat down to talk to God.  “Lord,” I said, “What’s up?  You asked me to quit my job back in March of this year (during Passover week) to work for you, and you know I’ve been diligently working everyday.  I learned website HTML & CSS coding, I designed a website, I wrote all the chapter summary material for the website, I learned Windows MovieMaker software to make videos, and here I am now without anyway to work for the next 3 days because I can’t get online to search for images to make a video.  Lord, I know you're with me, for you've been doing timely miracles for me along the way, so are you just giving me a break?  You know me Lord, I love to work ... I don’t need a break!

Then, in an instant, the Lord replied, “Son, I’ve laid it on your heart several times in the past month that I want you to make a testimony video of the miraculous things I’ve done in your life.  Well, NOW is that time!!!”  Oh my, instantly I remembered these thoughts had crossed my mind several times in the past month, and I also remembered my thinking each time they had, “I’ll wait until the very end of all my video creating until I make a testimony video, for people will just think I’m being prideful and wanting to gloat about the things God has done for me.”  Wow, so you can imagine my surprise getting this command from the Lord!

Then, as I still sat on the couch, He began to show me how this video didn’t need online images ... it needed me to spend a day combing through my old baby box and finding newspaper clippings and pictures of my life to scan into the computer, it needed me to rearrange my apartment back to the way it looked on the night of May 6, 2005 when my deceased father’s shadowed profile appeared on my refrigerator door, it needed me to then take pictures of the scene with my camera and upload them, it needed me to drive to the Phonoluxe Records store and get the old “Final Cut” movie and “In Another World” Joe Diffie CD for their images and music.  (He told me the store to go to and amazingly they were both there!)  Yes, without a doubt, there was MUCH work to be done for the next video He wanted me to make — He wasn't giving me a break!  LOL — and I didn’t need online for ANY of it! How awesome is God?  He shut my internet connection down to compel me to make a testimony video when He wanted it made!  And a little over 3 weeks later it was done, for I uploaded the video “Gabriel Ansley’s Miraculous Testimony” on Wednesday September 15, 2011 (yesterday, a year ago).
