1 Key West Church of God RAYMOND L. SHOCKLEY, Pastor 1419 White Street Key West, Florida USA Website - Momentin.us fax February 15, 2018 Dear Friends, This is my first actual newsletter of 2018, and it has been a real struggle. This year began with a lot of accusations. Falsely or rightly men and women are having their lives and careers destroyed by personal attacks alleging that they have in someway misbehaved in some moral aspect. Men and women are not allowed to have due process in a court of law. They are being tried by the media. The real target of this campaign is the government of president Donald Trump. The Globalist will simply not be satisfied until they in one way or another overturn the duly elected President of the United States, Donald J Trump. As I watched all of the accusations being leveled at the different personalities in politics, media, and entertainment venues, a prophecy from the New Testament came to mind, 2Ti 3:1-5 KJV This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. Please bear with me while I put the above passage into my own words. A very dangerous time is coming. It will be brought about because men will be consumed by selfishness. They are so consumed with themselves that no law, moral or legal will stand in their way. In their arrogance pursuing their own pleasures and passions, they will cast off the moderating forces of their forefathers and God. Anyone who stands in their way will find that they are facing fierce arrogant enemies who will falsely accuse any good person and their good intentions. They will use fake news, full of lies to destroy them. These selfish liars hate the good, demonize the right and embrace the darkness. They will present themselves as morally superior while rejecting God in the process. Reject those people, see through their false accusations. Lives are being destroyed by merely being accused. No one is safe or above being accused. Satan, the grand accuser (Rev 12:10) and the left do not mind sacrificing their own guilty if they can use a trend that will take down someone like Donald Trump. The Left, liberal, socialist, one world globalists are losing power, and they are fighting with all they have to destroy the people that stand in their way of having total power over the world. The tactic of the False Accusation is not a new weapon in Satan s arsenal. It is as old as sin itself. Anytime God raises up a righteous man, the weapon of the false accusation is used against that man. Case in point is what happened to Joseph of the Old Testament. Satan read the writing on the wall and tried to hinder it. He knew that God had a special role for Joseph from the two dreams God had given Joseph. So he set about to turn his brothers against him, selling him into slavery. Satan did not count on Joseph being sold to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian. If Joseph were to 1

2 gain the favor of Potiphar, he would have a link to Pharaoh. I am sure Satan must have thought, we can t have that. That has to stop. God was with young Joseph. He blessed everything his hands touched. Gen 39:2-6 KJV And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man;... And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. And Joseph... he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured. Satan knows that God has a special plan for Joseph. He knows that he is going to be the means of deliverance and guidance to the nation of Israel. He knows it from the two dreams God gave Joseph. So he set him up for a false accusation scam such as what we are witnessing today. First there is the setup - Gen 39:7-15 KJV... his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand; There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?... as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her... Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within. And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out. Second step: the accusation - 39:13... when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice: And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out. The results of the accusation - Gen 39:19-20 KJV... when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled. And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison. Satan chose to use a common occurrence that many men because of their sinful fallen nature have been guilty of. There is and was an abundance of real victims of sexual abuse. It is a charge that is easy to believe. Because young Joseph was a very good looking, talented man, it was not hard for Satan to use the fallen nature of Potiphar s wife. From the text we see a very vain, selfish fleshly woman who demanded her own way no matter what it cost someone else. She was very good at on demand hysterics. She had the circumstantial evidence, Joseph s garment. She stirred Potiphar s wrath, and an 2

3 innocent man went to prison. If he had just played ball with her, she would have protected him. Joseph decided to stand with the right, and he was left to face Satan s wrath. Those that stand in rebellion to God and his standards seem to get away with it. Anyone who decides to do right will face the weapon of the accusation! Do right or have the potential to do right and you will be subjected to opposition research. In the aftermath of the SEXUAL REVOLUTION of the 60's, it is rare to find someone who has made it through life completely unscarred by it. That generation was fed the potion of rebellion that cast aside all moral restraint and normalized every sort of perversion. No longer was it one man, one woman waiting for marriage to enjoy what God meant as a blessing. It was if it feels go do it! Men and women who are driven by lust are a selfish bunch, abuse is in their nature. God had chosen Joseph to guide his world through a seven-year famine. He raised him out of prison despite the False Accusation Weapon. What happens to people who set traps for other people? Jer 5:26 KJV For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. There are men in America who set traps for people. That is what the whole Russia Collusion is about. Traps were set for the new government of Donald Trump. As we watch the news, we are hearing more and more that it was not the Trump campaign that was colluding with Russia but the Clinton campaign and the Obama administration. The Clinton s and the Obama administration support the Globalist, one world government agenda. They are opposed to the nation state that Donald Trump with his Make America Great Again, supported. Traps were being set and promoted by the fake news outlets to make it impossible for President Trump to do the right thing. I believe President Trump like Joseph has been chosen to fill a very vital role for the nation of Israel. Joseph in saving Egypt, saved Israel. Donald Trump in making America great is positioning America for her role as the Great Eagle that is given to Israel in the middle of the Seven Year Tribulation. This can only happen if America escapes the globalist trap and is able to be a strong secure nation state free to chart its own course. Those that have laid traps for America s government are going to fall prey to their own traps. The Prophet Daniel and Donald Trump have a lot in common. When King Darius decided to make Daniel president, the establishment of Babylon would not have Daniel rule over them. They were the Never Daniel crowd. Dan 6:1-3 KJV It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom; And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage. Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. King Darius knew Daniel because his spirit would make sure his kingdom would suffer no damage. The establishment of Daniel s day did not want him to be president, so they sought for some way to stop him. They looked his whole life over but could not find a single fault. That is probably one of the most amazing miracles of the Bible that these evil men could not find a single thing that they could use to accuse Daniel with. If you are looking for only the perfect to work in government, you will be sadly disappointed. There has really been only one perfect man, and he was crucified. Dan 6:4 KJV Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the 3

4 kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him. Failing to find a fault in Daniel, they laid a trap for him. Dan 6:6-9 KJV Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him,... make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree. A trap had been set for Daniel. They knew his habit of prayer. He was regular and faithful in his devotion to God. They knew that Daniel would step into the trap, and he would be thrown in the den of lions, which meant certain death. Daniel did not disappoint them, Dan 6:10-11 KJV Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. Daniel was spied on. As we get deeper into the attacks on Donald Trump, it is clear that he like Daniel is being spied on with the intent to destroy him. After catching Daniel praying, they reported the matter to King Darius and demanded that Daniel be cast into the den of lions. They sealed Daniel in. They just knew that would be the end of Daniel. They got a surprise the next morning. Dan 6:21-23 KJV Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me:... Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God. God made sure Daniel survived the trap and remained president. I believe President Donald Trump will survive every trap laid for him. God has given him a job to do. God knows how to shut the mouths of President Trump s lions. Those that set a trap for Daniel filled with lions ended up dying by their own trap. Dan 6:24 KJV And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den. Watch for it! Expect it! Those who have been setting traps for the Trump administration are going to be devoured by their own lions. The weapon of THE FALSE ACCUSATION will turn on them and devour them. We are already starting to see rumblings of it. America has a divinely given role to fulfill, and it needs a president who believes that it should be free and great. A man who will fight for America and stand with Israel. Israel will need the Great Eagle! God will take care of Satan s lions. 4

5 Moments in Bible Prophecy - Despite the difficulties this ministry faced as an aftermath of hurricane IRMA, we are moving forward. Moments in Bible Prophecy has been a Monday through Friday program, but this has now changed. We are now on six days a week. Joseph Brashier the owner of Spirit Country Radio sent me this I wanted to let you know that your program bonus airing on Saturdays at 10:00 AM & PM is now followed at 10:15 AM and PM by Jack Van Impe's new radio program. He has been given a vision from God to reach "ALL NATIONS" via Radio. One of the stations he is buying to do this is SPIRIT COUNTRY RADIO. Your program is now the lead in for Jack. Joseph Brashier Jack Van Impe s program will follow Moments in Bible Prophecy. Jack Van Impe is a solid Bible prophecy teacher with a large following that will be exposed to our ministry. If you would like to listen to Spirit Country here is the link - A letter from a listener - I received a letter from a man from the Africa nation of Cameroon. His letter shows you the influence the Moments in Bible Prophecy s radio program is having. I received an looking for Pastor Raymond Shockley from Stephenson. I responded and this is what he wrote. Rev. Shockley! Wow! Bless the Lord! It is very exciting to hear from you again! Yes, I used to listen to you on shortwave frequency when I was in Cameroon! You opened the Books of Revelation and Daniel in such depth, and at a time our pastor was teaching the same chapters and we were having quite a few issues grasping the content! In the midst of all that, it so happened that you offered free tapes on the air - that was like a dream for me! It took me more than seven months to be able to finally make contact because every time I sent an , it would be returned as I kept getting the address wrong! Thank God, I was able to finally make contact and received a set of 24 tapes (12 on Daniel and 12 on Revelation) which I advertised and shared liberally including with our pastor of the local congregation. I have been in Ohio for the past several years, at the university of Cincinnati. Since I came over here, I have not been able to find your program on radio. There is so much going on now in the world and I know for certain that you are shedding some light on the events based on God's Word, and I'd love to tune in. Could you please indicate to me what frequencies you broadcast locally in the US? I couldn't readily locate the information on the website. Please share my greetings with the Church body. In Christ ever! Stephenson. Support for Moments in Bible Prophecy - For me to keep the program on the air I need people who will stand with me each month with prayer and financial support. During the time of IRMA and her aftermath, we lost 2/3rds of our support. It is starting to come back, but we still have a real need. Our ministry is a faith ministry. I depend on God to meet each of our needs. God likes to use people to do his will. It may be He would like to use you in keeping all of our stations on the air. Moments in Bible Prophecy has a global reach that we must not lose. People like Stephenson are depending on it. You can give online at our ministry website - If you are writing a check make it payable to the Key West Church of God. 5

6 Your Friend in Christ, Raymond L Shockley The message of the Month - Jesus is Divine Heb 13:8 KJV Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. There are many who would agree that Jesus Christ was and is a real person, but that is where the agreement will end. Much of the disagreement will center around Jesus Christ s divinity. Some will bring you a mere mortal. This message will help you to understand the divinity of Jesus Christ. If you would like to have this month s CD, I will need you to request it. I will be happy to send it to you. MOMENTS IN BIBLE PROPHECY
