Philadelphia; Rapture My Testimony of being Called to Disciple and Teach
Genesis 7:16
“And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.”
King James Version (KJV)
Amazing Fellowship with a Brother who is learning more about God's word and yet gets really real when doing his ministry.

After the meeting I told him I love him and sent him a message encouraging him.
He responded:
We both did what Jesus wants us to do and that's to bring people to Him. We are in this together
My response: ❤️
Amen Brother. Truth Spoken. The Lord no doubt had you get down to the real up close and personal: "It is ALL ABOUT JESUS and to know him PERSONALLY. And how we are SAVED from eternal damnation." That does not involve doctrine beyond the gospel. John 3:16, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Ephesians 2:8,9 KJV. My job is discipleship - growing and maturing in Jesus Christ which requires "study" (2 Timothy 2:15 KJV) of the word.
Quick history/testimony: I am a retired US Naval officer LCDR. (5 years enlisted in Navy INTEL Linguistics) 15 years commissioned service. I then did high profile consulting in Washington DC and then walked away from a very lucrative career and started teaching English and Spanish. I am also a licensed teacher of Spanish and English as a second language. I began my 20 years teaching and discipleship ministry after being delivered from alcoholism on December 5, 2001. My commission was given to me on December 5, 2005 which staying in a 5 star resort in Hawaii, by a powerful revelation of Jesus Christ calling me into missionary service using my teaching credentials and sending me to Vietnam for over 6 years. On December 5, 2012 while standing in Philadelphia PA USA while looking at a banner of angels and a heavenly scene announcing a Celebration, the Lord led me into a deep study of the Church of Philadelphia, Revelation 3:14 KJV and that I was called to be a teacher to WAKE up the corrupt "end times" church of Laodicea and show them that the true and only church unblemished was Philadelphia. What was incredible about Philadelphia was that I was sent to Philadelphia from Vietnam by a wealthy business enterprise that asked me to come to NYC for a 1 day meeting and he paid all my travel expenses to come to NYC from Vietnam. When I got to NYC I was told they needed to move the meeting to Philadelphia and sent me to Philadelphia. I attended the meeting that lasted about 5 hours. I gave them my recommendations and shared contacts in the DOD and explained how to process their contract through DOD directly to bypass GSA and other NGOs who would only cause delays and roadblocks.
As I was standing there, literally shaking my head to why they would spend several thousand dollars to fly me round trip from Vietnam to USA with hotel food etc expenses, taxi, rental car, for a few hour meeting that could have easily been taken care of by phone or email, the Lord spoke to my heart and said clearly LOOK UP!
I looked up one block away to see the Philadelphia City Hall with William Penn on the top of this edifice
I then had a major epiphany that I was in Philadelphia and was aware of the significant history of Philadelphia and how it got its name literally from William Penn a Quaker whowas named in with Revelation 3:14 in mind as well as, of course, the greek name meaning “brotherly love”.was also involved in the name of Pennsylvania which is a huge story in itself
Involving Penn’s name with a Grove of Trees in that area given to Penn from King Charles II of England to repay a debt to Penn whose father was Admiral Penn. See the Pagan Idolatry connected to Groves and high places established as an abomination against God.
So here I am looking at this pagan looking statue of William Penn, a huge colossal unnaturally grotesque figure on the top of the Philadelphia City Hall, looms over the city with an eerie, foreboding presence. (I later googled and found it standing 37 feet tall and weighing 53,000 pounds.) Anyway it was there staring down at me and I realized that this facade of “brotherly love” and benevolence of man’s UTOPIA (is what Penn envisioned) was actually OCCULTIC hijacking the name of Philadelphia.
Mind you this was all happening spiritually and my mind was trying to catch up to what my spirit clearly knew. I then looked over and saw a white banner prominently displayed on a street light with heavenly angels and a trumpet. It was an announcement for some orchestra or something.
Then I had a major epiphany I realized that God had called me to EXPOSE Evil and to study the Church of Philadelphia and I was called to Teach and Disciple Christians who were caught up in the pagan CHURCH of LAODIDEA and show how and how Philadelphia truly operated.
This entailed years and years of studying the King James Bible and the shock of realizing how much the enemy had infiltrated the true church with corrupted bible translations.
oh forgot to say how the Quakers and Radical Puritans battled against the KING JAMES translation and how even during its translation before 1611 the Puritans insisted on keeping the commentary of the GENEVA translation in place. I did a complete study on why the GENEVA Bible although from the textus receptus still had Puritan commentary and adjustments that do not match doctrine.

Thank you for listening to me. God bless you Brother. And keep fighting the good fight.
MARANATHA!
Far from the intended symbol of Quaker benevolence and civic pride, the statue’s immense scale and stern visage evoke a menacing aura, as if guarding an occult secret tied to the city’s founding.
The colossal statue of William Penn, perched 548 feet atop city hall.
William Penn, the figure depicted in the iconic 37-foot bronze statue atop Philadelphia City Hall (installed in 1894 as a symbol of the city's founding), was a prominent English Quaker. His religious beliefs centered on Quakerism (formally the Religious Society of Friends), a Christian denomination he converted to around 1667 after being raised Anglican. Quakerism emphasizes direct personal experience of God (the "Inner Light"), pacifism, simplicity, equality of all people, and rejection of formal clergy or rituals, which often put Penn at odds with the established Church of England and led to his imprisonment multiple times for advocating religious toleration.
Penn became famous in American politics as the founder of the Pennsylvania colony in 1681, granted to him by King Charles II as repayment for a debt owed to his father. He envisioned it as a "Holy Experiment" in religious freedom and democratic governance, offering refuge to Quakers and other persecuted groups while promoting principles like fair trials, free elections, and separation of powers in his Frame of Government charter—ideas that influenced later American documents, including the U.S. Constitution. Additionally, Penn negotiated peaceful treaties with the Lenape Native Americans, respecting their land rights in ways uncommon for the era, and his advocacy for liberty of conscience helped establish religious pluralism as a foundational American value. His legacy endures in Philadelphia's design (which he planned) and Pennsylvania's name, meaning "Penn's Woods."
How Pennsylvania Got Its Name
The state of Pennsylvania was named after William Penn, the English Quaker who founded the colony in 1681. King Charles II of England granted Penn a large tract of land west of the Delaware River as repayment for a debt owed to Penn’s father, Admiral Sir William Penn. The name "Pennsylvania" was coined by combining "Penn" (honoring William Penn or his father, depending on interpretation) with the Latin word "sylva" or "sylvania," meaning "woods" or "forest," reflecting the region’s vast forested landscape. William Penn himself suggested the name, though he modestly proposed "Sylvania" alone, but the king insisted on including "Penn" to honor the family. Thus, Pennsylvania translates to "Penn’s Woods." Penn, a Quaker, envisioned the colony as a haven for religious freedom and tolerance, which shaped its early identity.
How Philadelphia Got Its Name
The city of Philadelphia, the capital of Pennsylvania, was named by William Penn in 1682 when he planned its layout as the colony’s main settlement. The name "Philadelphia" comes from the Greek words "philos" (love) and "adelphos" (brother), meaning "City of Brotherly Love," reflecting Penn’s Quaker ideals of peace, equality, and community. The name also draws inspiration from the ancient city of Philadelphia in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), referenced in the Bible (Revelation 3:7) as a place of faithfulness and harmony, aligning with Penn’s vision for a utopian society. Penn’s choice emphasized his goal of creating a city where diverse religious and cultural groups could coexist peacefully, a principle that became central to Philadelphia’s early development as a hub of American democracy.
Quakers (or Their Precursors radical Puritans) at Odds with King James
The radical religious groups that prefigured Quakerism, such as Puritans and separatists, were indeed at odds with King James I over the Geneva Bible’s influence. These groups faced persecution for their nonconformity, including their preference for the Geneva Bible, which James sought to suppress through the KJV and policies enforcing Church of England conformity (e.g., the 1604 Hampton Court Conference). However, there is no evidence of a specific movement by these groups to demand the inclusion of Geneva Bible commentary in the KJV, as their concerns were broader, focusing on religious freedom and resistance to royal control over worship.
When Quakers later emerged, they inherited this tension with state authority. Under Charles II (James I’s son), they faced persecution for refusing oaths, tithes, and conformity to the Church of England, which used the KJV as its standard. Quakers like George Fox cited the Geneva Bible in their writings to defend their beliefs, but their focus was on challenging the state’s imposition of any single translation or doctrine,
Note on WOODS and GROVES connected to Pagan Idolary in high places
In the KJV context of idolatry, "groves" and "woods" (or "green trees") are closely related and often describe the same type of pagan worship sites, with "groves" being more specific to Asherah worship and "woods" a broader term that overlaps when used for idolatry (e.g., 1 Kings 14:23). B
KJV Context: In the KJV, "grove" specifically translates 'Asherah (e.g., Judges 3:7), referring to cultic sites or poles, while "woods" or "green tree" (e.g., Jeremiah 3:13) can describe natural wooded areas used for idolatry. In passages like 1 Kings 14:23 ("groves… under every green tree"), the terms converge to describe pagan worship sites, making them functionally synonymous in this specific biblical context.
Primary Meaning: The word "grove" in the KJV Old Testament typically translates the Hebrew 'Asherah (or its plural, 'Asherim), referring to sacred wooden poles, pillars, or sometimes entire wooded areas dedicated to the Canaanite goddess Asherah, a fertility deity. These were man-made or cultivated sites, often involving a single pole or a cluster of trees set up as part of pagan worship.
