Famous Antichrist Has Died

Many years ago way back about 1985 I was visiting with my good friend Pastor Ken Kirkland in Valdez, Alaska. I was there on a teaching/preaching trip. At this revival-seminar I was teaching about the Noahide movement that was infiltrating many churches under the disguise of law-keeping and messianic restoration. Pastor Kirkland showed me a book entitled "Will The Real Jesus Please Stand up (Seven Riddles of Israel)."

When I sat down and read this antichrist diatribe I was shocked at the author's open hate and hostility against Jesus.

The more I read the more my spirit was grieved. Here was an ex-Baptist pastor saying the New Testament was anti-Semitic. He was accusing the Apostles of writing deceptive lies and fraud. He talked about his visits to Jewish Rabbis. And he attacked Jesus and Christianity using the old rants of Typho, Celsius, and Porphyry.  But he was special. He was a Noahide. He was a convert to the Jewish religion via the invented salvation plan for Gentiles first found in the writings of Maimonides (1135-1204).

Basically,Gentiles who reject Jesus can turn to the Jewish religion, keep the alleged seven laws of Noah, and they can share in all the future blessings of the Jews. One of those seven laws concerns idolatry. And when I read that worship of Jesus was considered idolatry and the Noahide law required the death penalty: I saw instantly where Vendyl Jones was going. He was out to destroy Christianity in hopes he could save Christians from idolatry and worship of Jesus.

Vendyl totally repudiated the deity of Christ. He mocked it. He made as many slanderous remarks against Jesus as he could. He even claimed Jesus was a bastard child whose father was a Roman soldier. This was his way to attack Mary as a whore and a prostitute. She was no virgin in his opinion.

Little by little Vendyl Jones tore into the New Testament and dismantled in his own mind any of his old beliefs. He, like so many others of the Concision, turned to law-keeping for his justification and salvation. He would keep the law as a Gentile Noahide and by the works thereof he believed God would accept him. Of course his God, or the God he claimed was his God, also hated Jesus Christ as a false prophet and a deceiver.

I wrote about Vendyl here: http://jesus-messiah.com/html/vjones.html

I was the ONLY man among the Apostolic Oneness ranks to write against this antichrist openly. I do not know of another man among us save for Pastor Kirkland who took a public stand against this desert rat. We mentioned him in nearly all of our prophecy seminars. Or at least the ones I had anything to do with. This man was a snake in a man's body. He was demon possessed. The devil talked to him on a regular basis. He was so evil he became abusive to his first wife. He divorced her and married several times. He was looking for a soul-mate who would recant Jesus like he did.

Along the way he decided he wanted to destroy Christianity with one fell swoop. It came into his mind that if the Ark of the Covenant could be found, could be sanctified by the ashes of a red heifer, and a cadre of Levite Priest could cleanse themselves to officiate before it: that God would return to Israel in great glory. This he believed would show that Christianity was a great fraud, a great usurper.

A side note: It was years later that I heard about a Georga Oneness pastor who was raising red cows in hopes of birthing a red heifter just in case the Jews needed one if the Ark was found. The red heifer craze swept America with many hundreds of thousands of dollars being donated by Oneness Pentecostals to help raise these holy cows and pray a perfect red heifer was birthed. The red heifer craze continues among men like Irwin Baxter who continues to pump up excitement the Ark will soon be found and a red heifer has been born and certified.

Vendyl Jones joined the Masonic lodge before he left the Baptist church. It is here he learned of the LW and believed he had discovered a destiny for himself. He would find the LA and make himself the greatest Freemason in the world. By finding the Lost Ark, he could add to the Masonic Temple dream, the cap-stone of the pyramidal mystic religion. He believed the GAOTU would favor his goal and he became the Raider Of The Lost Ark.

He begged all over America for supporters to fund his trips to Israel where he would search in the desert for the LA.  He created such a dream world, many other Gentile Noahidites joined him. They went to Israel several times to search and dig, and search and dig. His team partners were as anti-christ as he was. Together they believed they had the final solution to destroy Christians from the earth. They would no longer need to wail and cry that the name Jesus means "pig god." Why when they found the Ark, the name of Jesus would instantly be thrown down as a name of wickedness and shame.

I followed him in the news and in his mail-outs over the years. He made some discoveries of some incense and some kind of alleged ointment residue. But as much as he dug up Israel, the God he said he now served refused to show him where the Ark was located. Vendyl thought he had it all figured out with the wording on the copper scroll found in the Dead Sea Caves. But alas, he was deceived by his own antichrist ambitions again. In the meantime, the Jewish Rabbis continued to heap on him praise and special recognition.

I have sent Mr. Jones several emails over the years, none of which he answered. I knew he got them because one of his baby rats emailed me with threats. I told him "sue me." which he never did.

The last chapter of Vendyl Jones is over. The end came for him on December 27, 2010. He died.

Mr. Jones is the typical law-keeper. They think they can go back to Law-Keeping and come to God without going through Jesus Christ.  Some Law-Keepers are not that stupid. They will claim Jesus as their Savior but he could not save them alone. These believe if they do not keep the Law, Jesus cannot save them.  They do not believe in salvation by Christ alone without the deeds of the Law (Rom 3:28). These will go back to sabbath keeping, dietary laws, keeping feast days, and embrace the tetragrammaton above the name of Jesus. Then they will adopt the false names Yahweh and Yahshua and claim they are the elect of God. They are Noahides, just as Vendyl was.  They will hate people like myself because I am a strict follower of the Pauline Gospel.

The famous antichrist is dead. He did not find the LA. He died without Christ. He died a blasphemer. He died trusting in his Noahide salvation which he believed God had given to the Gentiles.  He died rejecting Calvary, the burial, and the resurrection of Christ. He denied Jesus was the Christ already come in the flesh (1John 4:2-3). He died believing Jesus was a false prophet, a deceiver, and a bastard.

We will now see at the judgment what God thinks of Vendyl Jones.

My sympathies to his family members whom I talked to in years past. Who although they were estranged, loved him, but would not allow his crazy beliefs to turn them away from their faith Jesus was the Christ who had the words of eternal life.
