Stewart Best's Special Report State of the World—
2005 (which is currently displayed on the main
page of his truinsight.com website) contains numerous statements that
discerning followers of the Lord Jesus Christ should carefully evaluate in the
light of God's Word.
This brief article will touch on only two
satanic markings in Stewart's lengthy report, which he calls "the real truth."
The excerpt that I am commenting on is shown in its entirety below.
There are SEVEN SO-CALLED
“NOAHIDE LAWS”. All people of the world are TO BE SUBJECT TO THEM, IT IS
CLAIMED, and they spell the death of Christianity.
They lay the
foundation for the coming Christian persecution, long forecast by Jesus
Christ:
Matt 24:9
Then
shall they deliver you up
to
be afflicted, and shall kill you:
and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
Stewart Best Says Noahide
Laws Spell the Death of Christianity
According to Stewart Best, the DEATH of
Christianity is coming. He cited the Bible verse where the Lord Jesus Christ prophesied
the coming persecution and killing of Christians, but Stewart satanically
leavened Jesus' statement by predicting that Christianity will one day be DEAD:
There are SEVEN SO-CALLED
“NOAHIDE LAWS”. All people of the world are TO BE SUBJECT TO THEM, IT IS
CLAIMED, and they spell the death of Christianity.
It is true that the beast (Antichrist) will
persecute and kill as many saints as he can during his brief time of rule upon
this earth, but God's Word assures us that even though Christians will die,
Christianity will never die. Jesus Christ will return immediately after the
tribulation for those He has preserved unto His coming:
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:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be
caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and
so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thess. 4:16, 17
Satan's followers long for Christianity to be
obliterated from the face of the earth but that will never happen because Jesus
promised that He would be with His people [and give them strength to be
overcomers] unto the end of the world:
Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the
end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28:20
Stewart Best Says That
Jesus Christ Forecast the Future
Stewart Best also occultly marked
his article by stating that Jesus Christ forecast the coming persecution
of Christians:
They lay the foundation for
the coming Christian persecution, long forecast by Jesus Christ:
Matt 24:9
Then shall they
deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you:
and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. [bold emphasis
added]
Best used the word, forecast,
which does not have the same meaning as the biblical term, prophesy.
Forecast means to calculate or
predict (some future event or condition) usually as a result of study and
analysis of available pertinent data; to indicate as likely to occur (1)
Prophesy means the inspired
declaration of divine will and purpose. (2)
Forecast: It Means Estimation or Divination
Forecasting the future means to either estimate
that something will happen or it is divination:
Fortune telling is the art
forecasting the future supposedly by supernatural means, is an ancient
practice which is still popular today. Fortune telling is also known as
divination. The one who practices this activity is known as a diviner.

New Agers often synthesize the
things of Satan and the things of God. Stewart Best did this by substituting
the word, "forecast" for the word prophesy. The following excerpt from shirleymaclaine.com defines divination by using the word forecast and also illustrates
the way New Agers
combine the satanic and the divine:
The definition of divination
is ability to forecast the future, but the word itself stems from Divine.
The Divine has many names. The Creator, God, Creation and Allah to name a
few. [bold emphasis added] (3)
The Lord Jesus Christ Did
Not Forecast the Future
The Lord Jesus Christ is all-God
and all-man at the same time. He is not a mere man who, during his time upon
this earth, judged things to be probable (such as weather forecasters do) and he was not a sinner who used demons
to forecast the future!
Stewart also used the word
forecast in reference to general Bible prophecy:
Our film
documentaries will tell you, and will prove what is happening was long
forecast. [bold emphasis added]
Stewart communicated that his film
documentaries will prove that what is happening was long forecast in the Bible.
The word, "forecast" is not a synonym of the bible word, "prophesy," and should not be
used in its place.
The Lord Jesus Christ did not
forecast the future. He prophesied by speaking the words of His Father, who sent
Him. (See 1 John 14:24)
Stewart Best used the Word
Forecast in His UFO Article
Stewart Best also the word,
"forecast" as a synonym for Bible prophecy in his article, "UFO Briefing," which
is on Sherry Shriner's website:
The Zionist nation of Israel in the Middle
East is central to Bible prophecy and the TIME OF THE END. The rise of
Yasser Arafat and the PLO was forecast right to the exact day. (4)
Tim LaHaye also chose to use
the Word Forecast in Reference to a Prophecy of the Lord Jesus
Tim LaHaye also chose to use this
non-biblical word with occult connotations in reference to the Lord Jesus Christ
in his book, Jesus, Who is He?
On Jesus' ability to forecast the
future: "Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple,
Peter...asked Him privately, "Tell us, when will all these things be? And
what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled? (Mark 13:
3-4) [bold emphasis added] Jesus, Who is He? pg 95 and 96.

LaHaye's works see:

warning:
Sherry Shriner's websites contain false doctrine. She believes that the
Apostle Paul was an antichrist and a liar and she sells orgone
energy products--which she admits is also called, "Ch'i," or the "fifth
element." (These terms are used in witchcraft.) What she does not reveal is that this "energy" is from
demons.
