Heaven: Where is it and How do I get there?
Last night my wife and I watched Barbara Walters‘ 2 hour special on Heaven on our dvr. I think it was great that she at least attempted to get some answers. I thought some good answers came from Joel Osteen, the Dali Lama and a Rabbi. In my new book I show you that the Bible says it is a “via point” or a brief stop on the way back to the land God gave Israel for an inheritance, in our new Christ-like bodies.
The only ones in Heaven right now are God and his son Jesus Christ and the heavenly host of angels. As the Dali Lama said, Heaven is not a final destination, and he is right. Only those who are born again of God’s spirit, by making his son the Lord of their lives will be there, not immediately after they die, not until the Gathering Together of the saints, called the Rapture. Most Christians know that the dead in Christ rise first, but at the same time don’t believe the dead are still in their graves. How illogical is that?
This is one example of the mysticism that has become part of church doctrine. In the Bible everyone with the exception of Jesus Christ, who has ever lived and died is still dead and in the grave. If dead Christians were not in the grave, there would not be any to rise.
Jews will never see Heaven. They were never promised it. They were promised the land, not Heaven. Anyone who confesses and believes what Romans 10, 9 & 10 says will go the Heaven at the Rapture. God, whose name is YHWH (pronounced Yahweh,) is no respecter of persons; He is an equal opportunity employer. No one gets missed, unless they choose to be left behind. The choice is theirs and yours. Choosing to not believe is still a choice.
Imagine what it would be like for our loved ones who have died, if they were already in Heaven without us. Do you think they might be a little lonely, a little resentful that you’re not there with them? Even the atheist lady Barbara interviewed made logical sense, “if everyone who has died is in Heaven now, why don’t we all kill ourselves and be there?” Suicide bombers do just that, believing that immediately after their deaths 72 virgins will placate their every desire. (What a rude awakening they are going to have!)
Part of the Sacred Secret mentioned in my book is that believers during this age will be joint-heirs with Israel. As we all know, the faithful of Jacob INHERIT THE LAND! Therefore, as heirs of God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ we inherit the land as well. But, we will enjoy a 7 year Layover with God Almighty, our Lord Jesus Christ and the Heavenly Hosts, before we do! What a day of rejoicing that will be!
I have several chapters dedicated to this subject in the last half of my book. God bless, Buy it now here

Here is an endorsement of my new book “Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth, A Fresh Perspective to Understanding The Bible,” from Pastor Matthew Barnett, Sr. Pastor at Angelus Temple in Los Angeles:
Fred Wolfe has dedicated his life to examining the history, practice, and interpretation of the word of God. The Bible is too often misquoted, and this book will help to shed light on some common misconceptions, challenging the reader to strengthen their understanding of God. With scholarly evidence and reasoning, he has written a blueprint of The Bible’s inception as well as the deepest meanings of its words. By closely examining one’s understanding of the word of God, they will find a faith and clarity so absolute that it can never be shaken. This book is a must read, no matter where one is at in their walk with God.
-Pastor Matthew Barnett, Co-Founder of the Dream Center

Taking the Wind out of the Muslim’s Sails
Yeshua (Isa) (pbuh) instituted true worship to his Father, YHWH (pbuh) on the Day of Pentecost 50 days after he rose from the dead. It is written in Jn 4:20-24:
Our (your) fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.KJV
Anytime you read BUT anywhere, it is a time for a pause, because everything written before that word is about to be altered by everything written after it. Jesus Christ instituted TRUE UNDENIABLE WORSHIP, which is truly spiritual. On Pentecost the disciples of Yeshua spoke in the tongues of men and angels for the first time in history. (You can read about it in Acts 2.)
No one can any longer bullshit anyone else about worshipping the One True God, YHWH. The apostle Paul speaks more about it in 1 Co 14:1-5
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual (pneumatikos), 2 For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth (what he is speaking) howbeit IN THE SPIRIT he speaketh secrets. 4 He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself; 5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, KJV
Speaking IN THE SPIRIT is speaking in a language that you yourself do not understand (secrets) and it is UNTO GOD. This is how a true worshipper, worships. We can praise the Lord Jesus Christ but true worshippers do so in spirit and in truth in the direction of God, the Almighty.
Allah is a false god and those who worship him are false, deceived worshipers. They are sincere in what they believe. As I have always said, Anyone can believe anything they want to, but whether it is true or not is another story. People used to believe that the world was flat
There is only one True God and he calls himself YHWH.
My Book Arrived Today!
I received my first books today to review for any Publisher errors and didn’t find any! It will be available for sale soon on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and at Westbow Press. This book is not just for believers in Jesus Christ, but for Jews, Muslims and all others who have yet to believe. In it I chronologically detail the events of the Great Tribulation, broken down into 2 three and a half year periods, as prophesied by Daniel and portrayed in the Book of Revelation. In the event that anyone chooses not believe prior to these events, you will at least know what to expect. It will be available in soft and hard cover as well as an e-book. God bless and thanks in advance for your purchase.
DEATH: Public Enemy Numero Uno!
Just before noon on Thursday, Harry B. Farris, one of my high school classmates died. Even though I have not seen him since graduation in ’67 we “befriended” each other recently on Facebook. No one I know knows how he died, but it is really isn’t relevant. What is relevant is that death the number one enemy of life; stands to reason, doesn’t it?
Logic and reason are no longer rational ways of thinking in this age, not only in the world, but especially among the church. It is written in 1 Co 15:26 that the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. It is also written in Heb 2:14 that through his own death Jesus Christ might (would) destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. Death is still with us and it will continue to be a part of our lives until it is destroyed; it will always be an enemy.
The reason it is an enemy and always will be is because it takes us away from those who love us and those we love.
Practically every religion in the world, including Christianity, teaches
something contrary to this (I go into this subject in detail in my book.) In a sense of time, death can be viewed as the threshold to a new life with Christ, but not immediately. Until death is destroyed, the grave will be the victor. No believer will see Jesus until the gathering together when the dead in Christ will rise as it is written in 1Thessalonians 4:16.
This time period that elapses could be days, years, centuries and even millenniums. For some it has been millenniums. To the dead, who are not conscious of anything, the rising from the dead will be the next thing they are aware of. To the living, the separation is much to bear. Until death is destroyed it will continue to sting the living as 1Corinthians 15:55 describes.
I was snorkeling in the Sea of Cortez one summer off of an anchored boat. When I came up from a deep dive my head, shoulders and arms became engulfed in a Jellyfish. This was the worst sting I have ever felt and lasted about a month before the scabbed over welts healed. As bad as this sting was it pales in comparison to the death of a loved one, no matter how old they were, or young. Nothing stings like death.
Can you see how logic and reason have been removed from all rational thought processes? Please pray for Harry’s family and loved ones as they learn to deal with this tragic event. God bless and keep you.
Water Baptism is All Washed Up
The book of The Acts of the Apostles shows the transition from the Law of Moses to the grace of God in Christ Jesus. What we should see if we have not been spiritually blinded (a lot have been and cannot see it), is that John fulfilled the purpose of his ministry according to Acts 13:25. We are told by Jesus himself in 1:5 that in the future (which is now), believers would be baptized with holy spirit, not water.
In 18:25 a married couple who were believers, named Aquila and Priscilla, took aside another believer who spoke and taught the ways of the Lord Jesus fervently, but knew only of the baptism of John. It that these two expounded to him the way of God more perfectly.
in 19 the apostle Paul found a group of disciples who did not know anything about spirit baptism (which first occurred in 2:4). He asked them if they had received the Holy Spirit since they believed. They said they had not heard that there was any such thing. Paul then asked them “unto what then are you baptized?” They said, “John’s baptism.” Ac 19:4-7 goes on to say:
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.7 And all the men were about twelve. KJV
No one receives the gift of holy spirit which represents Christ in you with water baptism. This is why I say, “it is all washed up!” Our young supposedly “Pastors” are continuing in the same error that has been perpetrated by the church for centuries. This is the spirit of antichrist, to teach for faith and practice, that which is contrary to the revelation received by the apostle Paul from our Lord, Jesus Christ himself.
Paul told Timothy that many things like this would happen. I cannot believe that they who practice and teach such things do so knowing it is not the “way of God more perfectly.” 2Cor 4:4 says that many people are blind to the truth. I used to think that only applied to those who did not believe at all. Now, I know it applies to those who supposedly believe, as well.
Through the ages since Acts 2:4 cunningly devised fables have been handed down from generation to generation. These developed into “sophisms,” plausible, but fallacious arguments meant to render one wise in a sinister acceptation. They look good on the surface, but with a little digging you find they are completely erroneous. 2Ti 4:4 and 2Pe 1:16 speak of them.
I pray that all who practice false doctrine will soon see the error of their ways. It sickens me to see and hear of pastors touting the number of people they perpetrate this error upon. I heard one say recently that he was going for a Guinness Book of World Records for the number of water baptisms. People end up thinking they are saved, when they are not. What a rude awakening they may have after the Rapture, to see they are still here. It is a shame.
God bless,
