Join Richard Rives, author
of the book Too Long in the Sun, for an overview of historical
events that led to the abandonment of Biblical precepts and
their replacement by Traditional Christianity.

Today Contemporary
Christianity has not only allowed truth to fall, but it
has thrown truth in the street as a gesture of religious
tolerance and compromise. It has given the
adversaries of scripture exactly what they need to
substantiate their claims that what most present as
Christianity is nothing more than redefined pagan
mythology. Educated theologians know that; yet
they continue to present a compromised gospel filled
with pagan tradition that never had anything to do with
Christ. There has never been a more important time
in the history of mankind for those called out as
servants of our Creator to confront the philosophy and
vain deceit that would lead people away from our Savior.
We are living in extraordinary times. Today, just as in the
days of Isaiah, truth is fallen in the street; and
judgment is turned away backward. On every front the truths
of scripture are arrogantly disparaged while the wisdom of man
is exalted and received as authoritative, and without question.
It has come to my attention that public television recently
aired a program entitled "The Bible’s Buried Secrets" in which
Moses and the Exodus are portrayed as mythological accounts.
According to the "experts" that were interviewed, God and "his
wife" were actually renamed pagan deities - a Canaanite god and
goddess. With the assistance of our own tax dollars, that is
what is being presented.
Internet sites and online video presentations deny the
reality of Jesus, Yeshua, the Messiah of Israel. They provide
carefully selected excerpts from mythological accounts that
cause many steadfast believers to question their long held faith
in Christ.
How can this have happened? How can it be that among the
American population, 53% believe that good works can earn a
place in Heaven? - That among those calling themselves
Evangelical Protestant Christians 68% believe that people of
other faiths have their own way to attain salvation? There is
one very good answer: Time is the Ally of Deceit. Over time,
after having been bombarded with lies, people have been
persuaded that Biblical precepts are subject to the
interpretation of scholars.
Today, it is amazing what is being presented as Christianity.
The truth has been thrown in the streets as a gesture of
religious tolerance and compromise. Because of that, the
adversaries of scripture have been given exactly what they need
to substantiate their claims that what most present as
Christianity is nothing more than redefined pagan mythology.
Educated theologians are fully aware of that fact; yet they
continue to present a compromised gospel filled with pagan
tradition that never had anything to do with Christ. There has
never been a more important time in the history of mankind for
those called out as servants of our Creator to confront the
philosophy and vain deceit that would lead people away from
our Savior. We must not stand idly by and allow this to happen
on our watch.
In an effort to earnestly contend for the faith once
delivered to the saints, I have just completed a new book
and a 5 DVD Study Series entitled "Time is the Ally of
Deceit." The DVDs follow the chapters of the book.
DVD PART 1
FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS

Part 1 is
entitled Flee to the Mountains. While in the past, I
have produced other videos by the same title, this is an
all new presentation. First century believers, based on
the instruction of Yeshua, Jesus, left Jerusalem prior
to its destruction in A.D. 70. Just as the saints
described in Revelation 14:12, they had the faith of
Jesus and kept the commandments of God.

Destruction of Jerusalem - The Patience
of the Saints
Part 2 is entitled Baal
comes to Rome. During the 2nd and 3rd centuries, aspects
of pagan sun worship were combined with the true faith
of first century believers, resulting in a Christianity
unlike anything that those who walked and talked with
Christ would have recognized. In the Old Testament,
Elijah had confronted the priests of Baal. What most
people are unaware of is that the worship of Baal did
not end. During the formative years of Traditional
Christianity, the worship of the very same pagan god was
brought from Syria back to Rome, and the empire actually
had a priest of Baal as emperor.

Part 3 documents the worship of The Persian Sun God
Mithra. Historians report that during the 4th century
the worship of the Persian Sun god Mithra mysteriously
vanished as Christianity was established as the religion
of the Roman Empire. Was it Mithraism that vanished, or
true Christianity?

Part 4 is in reference to The Conversion of Constantine
and the Council of Nicaea. While his coins state that he
was committed to the sun god Sol Invictus, Constantine
was also recognized as the "First Christian
Emperor." Presiding over the Nicaean council, the date
for the observance of Passover was changed from the
biblically prescribed timing.

Part 5 is entitled
Remember The Sabbath Day. Many theologians would tell us
that Sunday has replaced the 7th day Sabbath; that in
fact, the law has been "nailed to the cross." Yeshua,
Jesus said that until heaven and earth pass away not
even the slightest aspect of the law will change.

The book and DVDs contain many of the photos that I have
taken over the past twenty years, as well as on location video
segments. A list of questions is found at the conclusion of each
chapter, making this material perfect for personal or group
study.
Basically I have done everything I know to do in order to
provide irrefutable evidence that documents the influence of
pagan religions upon what is now recognized as Christianity. For
those seeking truth, this Study Series provides solid,
verifiable facts, without exaggeration. For those who are
familiar with the religious syncretism that has taken place, I
believe that you will find this Series to be an excellent source
of extremely interesting historical facts that can be used in
sharing the truth with others, in a non-offensive manner. The
DVDs contain beautiful scenery and what most would consider
non-Biblical history, that will interest even those who would
normally avoid such a study.
As I have stated, I have done everything that I know to do.
Even so, I need your help. To be of value, the information must
reach those who need to know. I am not a preacher, a ministry,
or a nonprofit organization. I am just a person. My family and I
write the books, produce and edit the video presentations, take
the orders and ship the material. The sale of our materials is
the only way we have to keep this important work going. We
consider it a joy and a great privilege to work for our Creator,
and we want to do more in the future. To that end, I would like
to ask you to consider the purchase of our new resources. The
book and DVDs are available on an individual basis or as a set.
For those of you involved with study groups, or perhaps
interested in starting your own study group, please share this
information with others who may be interested in obtaining the
Study Series for their own reference.
For the past two thousand years our
"adversary the devil"
has been doing everything possible to pervert the truths
regarding our Savior and His commandments. As King Solomon once
wrote, There is nothing new under the sun. Just as in the
Garden of Eden, our "adversary" questions:
Hath God
said? Truly, Time is the Ally of Deceit; and time is truly
of the essence. For centuries believers have thought that they
were living in the last days; and they were right. It was their last days,
their time in history to tell others
about the Messiah of Israel. Today, no matter how we might view
the timing of prophetic events, now is the time in which we
have been given the opportunity to share the truth with others.
While there are countless numbers preaching another gospel,
there are only a "few" of us who will stand for the
truth.

P.S. Please consider multiple copies to share with others.
For a limited time, those who purchase two or more complete
study sets will receive complimentary copies of the classic book
Too Long in the Sun as a part of the series. "The harvest
truly is great, but the labourers are few." ...Luke 10:2
