Stone Kingdom Ministries
Tabernacles Conference

Chateau on the Lake
415 North State Highway 265
Branson, Missouri

October 25-27, 2019

James Bruggeman of Stone Kingdom Ministries has again secured the Chateau on the Lake in Branson, MO for our Tabernacles conference in October of this year. He was unable to get a meeting room during the actual feast of Tabernacles itself (Oct. 14-21), so the conference will technically be about a week late beginning at 9 a.m. on Friday, October 25 and ending late in the day on Sunday, the 27^th.

Room rates are $129/night. For 3 people the rate will be $149; for 4 people it will be $169. Taxes will be added to those rates as well. There are multiple choices for different types of rooms as well. The cut-off date for obtaining the special rates is September 22, 2019.

To make your reservation, call 1-888-333-5253. Let them know you are part of the Stone Kingdom Ministries conference to obtain the correct rate. Most of you will probably come on Thursday and stay until Monday morning, but you may want to come early or stay late.

A one-night deposit will be charged at the time of booking your reservation. Cancellation or changes are only allowed up to two days before the check-in date.

As usual, there is no registration fee.

Confirmed speakers so far: James Bruggeman, Rob Corry, Ron Oja, Stephen Jones.

Music ministry will be on a voluntary basis.

Air travelers will need to find their own transportation from the Springfield, MO airport, which is about an hour’s drive north of the hotel. If any of you want to volunteer to shuttle people to or from the airport, contact James Bruggeman at 828-277-7733.

Personal News

I hope to have a few new books published by the time of the Tabernacles conference. My commentary on Jude should be ready within a few weeks.

I am currently working on my book on The Judges, which will be a combination of two related studies. Part 1 will be the series that I did on the prophetic meaning of the names of the Judges. Part 2 will be the series that on “No King in Israel,” which is a study on the last five chapters of the book of Judges.

Lastly, I will be working on my commentary on the book of Ruth. I finished the weblog series at the end of June. The weblogs form the first draft of each of these books, but then I have to go back and add material, make any corrections, and polish each chapter before sending them to the proofers. Darla reads each book twice, and then the books go to our boys and to Rhoda for a final proof.

National News

The most significant thing happening right now is the Epstein pedophilia case that is being prosecuted in New York. Epstein had been convicted in 2008 of one count of soliciting a 14-year-old girl for prostitution, even though at least 36 victims had been identified. Anyone else would have been given life in prison, but he was given just 13 months, with work release, where he only slept in a special cell at night. He was able to leave during the day.

Alexander Acosta, the current Labor Secretary in the Trump cabinet, approved the plea deal with Epstein, claiming that he was told by those in authority above him that Epstein was “owned by intelligence” (agency) and that this case was “above his pay grade.” Dr. Steve Pieczenik, a psychiatrist who worked for the CIA for a long time and wrote their books on psyops, said recently that Epstein actually worked for the Israeli Mossad through Les Wexner, the billionaire owner of Victoria’s Secret.

Epstein and Wexner are both Jewish, as is Dr. Pieczenik. But Pieczenik is not a Zionist, whereas Wexner has many high-level connections to the Israeli government and the Mossad. Epstein was not born wealthy, and his hedge fund never seemed to have any clients other than Wexner. No one knows how he made his money, but most believe that he was blackmailing politicians and wealthy people by filming them with his underage girls.

This is a very big case. The government waited until the NXIVM case had been completed, where Claire Bronfman (Seagram’s heir), Allison Mack (actress), and Keith Raniere were convicted of running their sex trafficking ring. NXIVM was directly connected to Epstein’s pedophile ring, and the testimony of all cooperating witnesses ensured success in prosecuting Epstein.

This case is only going to get bigger. Epstein himself is offering to hand over his “black book” that would implicate all of his political clients in exchange for a 5-year sentence. But prosecutors no longer need his black book, as they have all the information already from other sources. In the months ahead, as more news unfolds, watch for the resignations of politicians from Congress.

By the way, years ago Donald Trump threw Epstein off his property at Mara Lago in Florida when he learned that Epstein was trying to solicit the 14-year-old girl of one of his employees. Epstein was banned for life from Mara Lago. They do not like each other, although some of the media is trying to link the two in a cozy relationship. Epstein is NOT “Trump’s pal,” as they claim.
