    why the fallen one, lucifer, is so jealous of man and

    has made all attempts to thwart and deceive us.

    The Ten Commandments

    And God spoke all these words:

    "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

    "You shall have no other gods before me.

    "You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

    "You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

    "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

    "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

    "You shall not murder.

    "You shall not commit adultery.

    "You shall not steal.

    "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

    You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

    (Exodus 20:1–17 NIV)

    A Very Important Letter to Our Lord Jesus

    Dear Jesus:

    My hope and prayer are that people around the world reading this book never see me, Lord, but see You, Lord Jesus. I initially thought not to give my name as the author, nor did I wish to publish my photo as the book’s author, but You showed me I needed to include my name and photo to bear testimony of You.

    Lord Jesus, You recall that in 2005, it was prophesied to me that I would write these books. I wrote these books out of obedience and love for You, Lord Jesus. Let every word glorify Your holy name, not mine.

    Let every soul touched by reading this book Lord, give You honor and pluck them out of hell into Your loving arms in Heaven. Lord Jesus, never let us lose sight of You. Amen.

    In His service,

    Foreword

    The world as we know it today has been in existence for approximately 6,000 years, according to Biblical scholars.¹ The Earth is not millions or billions of years old, which some scientists have purported decades ago and has stuck in terms of modern geology.

    Over these centuries, satan has led millions of people into cults and false religions because his one goal is to draw humans away from the one and only true redeemer, Jesus Christ. In John 14:6 (NIV), Jesus answered,

    I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

    2 Corinthians 11:14 (NIV), we read,

    And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

    All these false cults or religions are satan taking you away from the one true God.

    2 Thessalonians 2:10 (NIV), we read,

    and in the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

    It says in 1 John 2:2 (ESV),

    He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for yours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

    Also, in Hebrews 1:3 (NIV) it says,

    The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

    Let us consider Psalm 110:1 (NIV)…

    The LORD says to my Lord:

    "Sit at my right hand

    until I make your enemies

    a footstool for your feet."

    From this passage, we know that Jesus is not on Earth. He is sitting at the right hand of God. However, His Holy Spirit is with us. So in effect, Jesus is with us in Spirit form. God is waiting for the Body of Christ to do its work through faith, prayer, fasting, intercessory prayer, walking in the authority of Jesus Christ, etc., so that the enemies of Jesus (and therefore the enemies of the Body of Christ) become a footstool for Jesus’ feet (and therefore a footstool under the feet of the Body of Christ). The Body of Christ must move in a powerful way in a new revival of the true Church. The Body of Christ must come together in unity, and then God will move. The conditional word until in Psalm 110:1 will be made manifest in signs, wonders, and miracles to bring about the Kingdom of God on Earth.

    Today we are in the Church Age, and sooner than ever, the true Christian Church will experience the Christian Church Rapture, and all non-believers will be left behind. This book is about God, Jesus Christ (also God), and the Holy Spirit (also God) talking to you right now, telling you to make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior. It is possible to go to Heaven with a personal relationship with Christ.

    Otherwise, without a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, your next destination could be Hell if you do not change your belief system and receive salvation.

    Introduction

    As we find ourselves in the state-of-the-art 21st century, the world is moving so quickly with technology, such as artificial intelligence (A.I.), ongoing wars and rumors of wars, global water and food shortages, and inflation and monetary collapse, which in turn creates social and economic collapse. The list of the signs of end-time events just keeps getting bigger! I can write an ongoing non-fiction handbook of the events we are experiencing in these times. We are indeed living in the end game––end times!

    Are you ready to face Jesus Christ? Do you anticipate what it is like to enter into the gates of Heaven? Or are you living a life apart from Christ and experiencing a foreshadowing of the things of Hell: torments, torture of mind and emotions, and of the physical body—with no pause daily, weekly, or monthly from the torments?

    A person who does not know Jesus Christ does not have a relationship with Jesus Christ. So, how can Jesus say that He knows that person, and why would He invite that person into His Heavenly Realm––His home (John 14:6)?

    The topic of this book is compelling because it is through horoscopes, astrology, gnostic beliefs (knowledge of man, arrogance, intellect, and mysticism), witchcraft, black magic, and practices of the cult which lead people away from God or keep people from knowing Jesus.

    The enemy of our souls, satan or the devil, has one goal in mind—to lead as many people away from God and take these souls to Hell with him. The enemy of our souls is after you, me, our families, neighbors, co-workers, doctors, dentists, and bank tellers. He is after everyone in humanity, everyone in society because he simply hates humanity… Because we are made in the image of God. The enemy of our souls began with a fallen angel, lucifer. Angels are made of spirit, wind, and fire. They do not have blood. Our enemy, satan, has been after the blood of Jesus Christ from day one because he is beside himself with jealousy, anger, and fear about what he cannot fully understand since he has no blood coursing through his veins. The enemy sends his minions (other evil spirits) to inhabit the minds and bodies of humans who are not walking with God and do not know God. Darkness cannot exist where there is light.

    I submit to you, my readers—Walk in the Light as He is in the Light (1 John 1:7), as darkness cannot exist where there is Light. I am appealing to you as the End-Time Apostle to the World from Hawaii with a message that I pray will go to the ends of the earth in these days. Be sure of your eternal destiny. Be compelled and assured that you will be in Heaven after your days on Earth.

    Every fact I present in this book can be looked up, researched, and verified. Facts equal truth, and being honest with yourself with Apologetics, and Eschatology, equals your eternal destiny in Heaven—not Hell!

    If you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today, you are indeed saved today! You are a new creature in Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).

    I can overcome all things through Christ that strengthens me (Philippians 4:13).

    Thank you, Jesus!

    End-Time Apostle Constantine Nightingdale is pictured here looking up to God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. He is wearing the gown he wore when he was baptized on March 20, 2018 (while on a TBN tour led by Matt and Laurie Crouch) in the Jordan River, Israel. Notice the lei, which is a Hawaiian kukui nut lei. Fifteen kukui nuts on each side represent grace—five for a total of fifteen. A total of thirty nuts symbolizes the Trinity—three times ten equals thirty—the number of completion. As Mr. Nightingdale travels around the world to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the End Game with those who have an open heart—this signifies completion as an Apostle of Jesus Christ.

    Chapter 1

    The Jainism Phenomenon

    Jainism is a small sect in existence today. Jainism originates from the Sanskrit word jina. Jina means conqueror or victor,² and jain means one who follows the conqueror.³

    This religion is said to be over 2,500 years old, with over four million believers worldwide. This is one of the world’s oldest religions in India. This religion is like Buddhism and Hinduism due to a common cultural and linguistic background.

    However, Jainism is regarded as an independent phenomenon rather than as a Hindu sect or a Buddhist practice, which is what earlier Western scholars believed.⁵ The proponents of Jainism believe you are reincarnated and that good or bad karma determines your life’s journey repeatedly until you reach perfection. In your earthly life, you must seek balance and cause no harm to anything or anyone, a concept known as ahimsa.

    Jain monks, in a self-proclaimed, self-exalted state of soul consciousness, are said to have taken "five main vows: ahiṃsā (non-violence), satya (truth), asteya (not stealing), brahmacharya (chastity), and aparigraha (non-possessiveness). These principles have affected Jain culture in many ways, which gave way mostly to their diet in a self-imposed vegetarian lifestyle."

    Jainism

    Parasparopagraho jīvānām (the function of souls is to help one another) is the faith’s motto, and the Ṇamōkāra mantra is its most common and basic prayer. Jainism is one of the world’s oldest religions in practice to this day. It has two major ancient sub-traditions, Digambaras and Śvētāmbaras, with different views on ascetic practices, gender, and [Jainism’s] canonical [version of texts]. Both have what would be considered modern-day beggars, mendicants, who are supported by laypersons (śrāvakas and śrāvikas). The Śvētāmbara tradition in turn has three sub-traditions: Mandirvāsī, Terapanthi, and Sthānakavasī.

    Jainism

    Again, like Buddhists and Hindus, you can gain Nirvana, or a state or spirit of no suffering, no selflessness, and no desire for material things or sex. This is your final reincarnation end or perfection.

    Jainism believes in anekantavada, or diversity of mind and thought, or working together to accomplish the same thing. They believe that the galaxies, the cosmos, and all of the worlds existed before mankind. They believe in veetraagta, which is not being materialistic and being free from desires and passions, which supposedly leads to higher consciousness. They believe there is no God or grand creator from the beginning of mankind and that no God exists now. They believe in ahimsa or not having violent thoughts or actions.

    The religion has between four and five million followers, known as Jains, who reside mostly in India. Outside India [we may find] some of the largest pockets of communities located in Canada, Europe, and the United States, with Japan as a host nation and fast-growing community of converts.

    Major festivals include Paryushana and Das Lakshana, Ashtanika, Mahavir Janma Kalyanak, Akshaya Tritiya, and Dipawali.

    Estimates for the world population of Jains range from just over four million to twelve million.

    Jain monks or followers do not believe in God the Father, Jesus Christ His Son (God), the Holy Spirit (God), and the Holy Bible. They do not believe that Christ rose from the dead after three days of being in the tomb and that He (Jesus) is on the right hand of God now.

    Jain monks do not believe in sin, and therefore they do not believe that you need to repent for your sins. This is a radical concept because human beings are inherently selfish and tend to be greedy if it were not for a higher source, such as God.

    The even more radical discovery is that all the cults in this book do not believe that they are ever bad, wrong, or sinful or that one needs to repent of their sins or wrongdoings. In other words, Jains feel they are somewhat perfected in their religion as long as they follow its practices. I would propose that any human being who believes they are perfected through a religious cult set of practices is suffering from delusions of grandeur if only having the delusion of so much power over self and not needing God.

    To repent means to stop the thinking, words, writings, and actions which are associated with evil things and that one comes back to God for the forgiveness of these sins, a chance to begin over again once cleansed from your sins (Romans 12:2). As human beings we are creatures of habit. Therefore, like little children—we need to be reminded continually about following what is right and avoiding sin as much as possible.

    The most radical concept in the entire universe and history of mankind is that Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world. By accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, one attains a higher consciousness—based on truth and light. This higher God-consciousness as a Christian is what the reward is—to reign with Jesus in Heaven forever and ever. Attaining Heaven at the end of one’s life journey means that you have managed to steer clear from Hell. Both Heaven and Hell are eternal places and are real, physical places. I discuss the attributes of Heaven and Hell later on in this book.

    Jainism rejects the higher authority or existence of God, the Creator. Jain followers feel they can make it on their own efforts without help from God, Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit. They believe in obtaining the highest Tirthankara—the highest spiritual
