"Clare Dubose - a
response to Carl"
Hello doves
Carl invited us to comment on the statements being made by Clare
Dubose and his letter has been on my mind for a few days so even
though I’m not a regular poster on 5D, I felt I should pitch in.
I started by watching one of her Youtube videos and was somewhat
distracted by the strangely resizing still of her that kept
pulsating during her reverberant audio delivery. However, it’s
not her ability to make videos that’s in question here - just
the validity of what she claims to hear from the Lord.
Scripture tells us to test all things and in obeying this
commandment, we have two tools against which to test things. One
tool is the power of sound reasoning and logic backed by
experiment - in other words good old fashioned operational
science with some testable conjectures and repeatable results.
This excludes pseudo-science and techno-babble so beloved by the
new agers. The other and most important instrument of truth is,
as I’m sure we all agree, the scriptures. With that in mind, I’d
like to comment on some of the statements Carl has kindly
supplied.
The first point of concern is her statement that God has been
pushing back the date of the rapture incrementally with a view
to saving more people. Scripture says that God wants everyone to
be saved but we know also that not everyone will be. If God
determines a cut-off date and then extends it by one day, that’s
great for those who turn to Christ on that extra day but what
about those on the following day? Why shouldn’t God extend the
date again, and again and again? It’s clear from scripture that
God has ‘appointed times’ that are immovable (they could hardly
be appointed in any sense of the word otherwise). This is
confirmed by Paul’s seemingly obvious statement that ‘our
salvation is nearer than when we first believed’. Why state that
some future event is getting nearer? there’s so much that the
Bible doesn’t say, so many mysteries we wish to be revealed that
the inclusion of what seems like a statement of the obvious is
rather odd. The reason I believe this statement is in scripture
is precisely to tells us that God has fixed an appointed time
for the rapture and that time cannot be extended, otherwise it’s
conceivable that our salvation could be further into the future
(rather than closer) than when we first believed and that would
contradict scripture. Only God knows that date and I’m convinced
it’s set in stone so any message claiming that the rapture has
been postponed is, in my opinion, just an excuse for the failure
of previous predictions. Nothing we can do will affect the date.
Prayer does not move the date, it moves peoples’ hearts and
that’s another issue entirely.
Clare's predictions seem to fall into two broad categories -
those that are two vague or general to be tested and those that
are very specific but which happen in circumstances that
preclude any testing as people will be too busy just trying to
survive. A limited nuclear exchange is likely in the Middle East
and we all know that volcanic activity is increasing. The
destruction is already outlined in Revelation and we have no way
to know about the exact fate of individual cities outside the
levant.
We know that a great mountain burning with fire is coming out of
the sky because John says he saw it. We also know it’s going to
happen after the rapture. Is this the same as Nibiru? Clearly
something hits us (at least two if you include Wormwood). The
rest is the kind of speculation that’s been around for some
years now.
Americans, perhaps due in part to past hubris, seem to have
difficulty in accepting that the USA is not mentioned in
scripture but it would appear that the west in general is in
such moral decline that all the world’s most powerful nations
will be humbled by God soon. Again, we can’t test any statements
on America against scripture so it’s down to speculation.
Her statement that ‘God sometimes gives us a DNA transplant to
turn us from sin, discouragement and failure’ appears to me to
be plain nonsense and is not supported by any science or
scripture I know.
As for CERN - I know it seems to be the popular punch-bag for
some Christians and it’s the seed bed for many a story. I have a
friend who used to work on the particle detectors at CERN and he
said the local farmers blamed CERN for their low yields of
cheese. Leaving aside the fact that there’s a cheese called
Quark for a moment, there’s an obvious danger in interpreting
every effect as being caused by some experiment in particle
physics in much the same way that to a man who only owns a
hammer, everything looks like a nail. Let’s remember a couple of
fundamental truths. Firstly, God made the universe, not man,
consequently, nothing man can do (apart from original sin of
course) can break it. There is no technology, no energy or
knowledge that can work outside God’s permitted will. Secondly,
God gave man the task of discovery and dominion (something that
will only really come to fruition for believers in new bodies)
over his creation. Many great scientists in history were
believers and the quest to discover how the universe is held
together is a noble one - not an evil scheme hatched by mad
scientists despite what people post on Youtube. When explaining
why CERN is such a force for evil, the proponents of this view
invariably revert to unsubstantiated techno-babble designed to
fool those not trained in real science or engineering. One of
the dangers often flagged is that CERN make anti-matter which is
a very dangerous and unstable form of matter. This is true and I
wouldn’t want any of it in my front room but that doesn’t make
it intrinsically evil. It appears to be part of the fabric of
space that God designed. What’s dangerous is isolating it. This
is because of the energy involved but I would venture to add
that it’s nothing to do with demons. Anti-matter is the latest
nail our man with the hammer has found. Before that it was any
form of heat. The new agers believe that spirits are attracted
to fire - now it appears they like anti-matter too. Often CERN
is accused of being a portal through which hordes of demons will
pour into our dimension. Much as I enjoyed the Stargate series,
it has much to answer for in this respect. Firstly, demons have
never needed a special portal in the past. Noah, as I recall,
built an ark, not a particle accelerator and we are told in
Revelation that it’s an angel that holds the keys to the
bottomless pit, and it’s this angel that releases them - not man
or any machine of man.
Regarding the president of the USA, it’s clear he’s no friend of
Christians or Israel and he’s done a great deal to bring down
American in the eyes of the world. It looks like Americans are
about to replace one fool for another like so many other
nations do on a regular basis so we’ll just have to wait to see
if he turns out to be the Anti-Christ or not. If Nathan was
right, we really will know in ‘months not years’. We need to
review what Nathan and other are saying to see if it is true
remembering how God told us to test prophets.
I don’t expect everyone will agree with the points I’ve offered
here but perhaps we’ll be able to arrive at some consensus and
then, in the light of divine revelation, see what we got wrong!
Thank you Carl for your posts
