GLOBAL WARMING AND THE GLOBAL GOVERNMENT

I have written in the past at other sites about global warming and other political issues, but now I realize that politics isn’t my fight. Getting people prepared for the time to come and explaining God’s word without the entanglements of traditional and denominational teaching is my fight. This post does entail global warming because of its agenda of being a global government.

When I was young, scientists said we were either in or about to enter an ice age. As a matter of fact, many including Obama’s climate czar said by the mid 90’s the northern hemisphere would be mostly covered in ice. Since I’m not ancient, this happened not long ago. If memory serves me correctly, the ice age hyseria lingered until 1980. The reason for the cooler weather was lack of sunspot activity. In 1988, the UN came out saying there was global warming. Soon after that, man was to blame. Instead of scientists learning their lesson after the ice age fiasco, they screamed like Chicken Little again and proclaimed the Earth was melting. For anyone with a curious mind, one must be able to ask how can man cause the scientists to go from the talk of ice age to global warming within a decade? That’s impossible, isn’t it? How can our creation cause such a drastic turnaround within ten years? A question global warming hysterics either won’t ask, or don’t want you to ask.

The Earth was warming during the 80’s and 90’s, but the last few years the Earth has been cooling. Look it up. Don’t look at projections which are outdated. Look at actual stats. Heck, put your finger to the air and feel. It feels cooler than it was about ten years ago, doesn’t it? The last few years, it has gotten particularly cooler. The reason: lack of sunspot activity. During the Earth’s warming, we weren’t alone. Mars too was warming at about the same rate since the 70’s. There will be a link below to that story. If lack of sunspot activity was the cause for the cooling back in the 70’s and again now, and when our planet warmed along with another planet, couldn’t anyone with a rational thought conclude that it was an increase in sunspot activity that caused the warming?

What started off as an innocent but headline grabbing proclamation that the Earth was warming, governments saw it as a chance to grab more control over their people. In turn, they would give scientists grants to keep going along with the hyseria while ostricizing any dissenting voices. Al Gore took up the cause while making a lot of money from it. When anyone actually challenges him, he dismisses them. He actually told a scientist that wanted to debate him that he can’t debate the science. Imagine that, Gore telling a scientist that he couldn’t debate the science. I guess you are right, Mr. Gore. You cannot debate the science with a scientist. He also has taken on a strategy of humiliating his opponents by insulting or trying to minimize the voice of regular people. He has called anyone that doesn’t believe in manmade climate change “a flat-earther”. He has complained to media that people who don’t believe in manmade climate change should not be given equal airtime. He has even told students to not listen to their parents when it comes to the talk of manmade climate change. Yes, he said that. Of course they changed the term “global warming” to “climate change” since it is getting cooler, but with the same agenda. It’s as if the Earth never changed temperatures before. According to any scientist, the Earth has gone through much more drastic changes in climate than what we’ve been going through lately. Were the Romans responsible for global warming by making metal for shields?

The whole reason for the government wanting climate change legislation is for power. Former czar Van Jones did a speech saying green jobs was a way to spread the wealth. You can find that on Youtube with no problem I’m sure. There is a link below to an audio clip of him saying this. Still, that is not the purpose for climate change legislation. Any program such as healthcare, bailouts, or green legislation is for the government to increase in power. Last year when Bush was still in office, Henry Paulson twisted the arms of banks that didn’t want to take government money in that TARP bill to take it. That is according to many bank officials themselves. The government wanted their fingers in that money. Obama has taken it a step further. Obama reluctantly let the banks pay back the TARP money but put a clause that if the government felt troubled by our financial institutions that the government would again take control over them to prevent a crisis. The government does not want to keep their hands out of that cookie jar. That is just one bill. What about cap and trade? Obama spoke about his cap and trade program where he said, and I quote “energy prices would NECESSARILY skyrocket… and the energy companies would then pass that onto the consumer.” I have a link below to this as well so you can see him saying it yourself. With our economy in utter shambles right now, why would he want to cause us to pay more over an unproven and contentious issue at best? Redistribution of wealth or the growing of government and world governments coming together?

This is a history lesson for the future. Whenever governments try to “spread the wealth”, it is only a mantra that would cause the masses to flock to their cause. In no case ever in any other government in the world’s history was wealth ever spread. In every case in any other government in the world’s history the poor stayed poor and the rich stayed rich because the rich played ball with the government. They got behind the government’s quest for power so they kept their money. As a matter of fact, in every case the amount of poor people rose in those countries. The ONLY outcome was more government power. This is the true agenda behind this thing we call global warming. Don’t gloss over that word “global” either. Global government is where we are headed. Combatting climate change is the easiest way to bring this together.

It would seem that someone might point out that no socialist government eradicated poverty. As a matter of fact, it was made worse because the government got bigger. A bigger government then becomes a fascist government eager to squash voices of dissent. You can’t question an overbearing government and get away with it. If you have your ear pointed the right way, you can hear that happening in our very own country right now.

Man causing global warming is a scam, and it’s intent is not to spread the wealth. It is to make government bigger and stronger. There is no example in history where a government actually spread the wealth. It would be better if the government took the money of the rich and directly handed it to the poor. That’s still wrong, but that would be better than grabbing the money and making programs intent on wasting the money away since the waste goes in their pockets. You’ve been had if you believed the government was truly trying to combat climate change. It can’t be done. Unless we blow up the Sun, we cannot combat climate change. It has happened in the Earth’s history over and over again. You’ve been had if you think the government had an innocent agenda. Power is a snowball rolling down a hill. It only gets bigger over time.

What does the Bible teach? Global government and people being delivered to their deaths for their beliefs. It also does say that a vial will be poured upon the Sun which would make the Earth feel very warm. That will happen in the not too distant future. We have been cooling. We will soon be warming. Maybe then the government will convince enough people that something must be done to combat the warming. Even though nothing can be done, the governments of the world will not be able to squander that opportunity.

THE SERPENT THAT BEGUILED EVE

In Genesis 3, it is written that the serpent beguiled Eve to eat of the tree of knowledge. This was forbidden by God. God told them they would surely die if they ate from this tree. The serpent being subtle in his ways said to Eve, “you shall surely not die”. The truth is that she did die, just not then. Death was not possible for them until they ate of that tree. Now was this serpent a snake? Hardly. The serpent was none other than Satan.

In Revelation 20:2, it is written “And he laid hold on that dragon; that old serpent; which is the Devil and Satan and bound him a thousand years.” What was John of Patmos (St. John the Divine) referring to when he said “that old serpent”? He was referring to the serpent written of in Genesis. How would a snake speak to Eve? The serpent was just a metaphor, as was him having to crawl on his belly.

The great mystery, which I cannot go all that far with is what God told Eve and the serpent about their descendents. Read with an open eye and watch it unfold with what happens between Cain and Abel. That’s as far as I can go with that.

Eve helped Adam to sin by eating of the tree of knowledge. They realized they were naked and covered themselves with fig leaves. What was Satan’s purpose in trying to get them to eat of this tree? As is written in the original Greek, Jesus is the foundation of this age, not the world. Therefore he was destined to die for our sins before Adam and Eve sinned. Someone was bound to eat of this tree. Someone was going to break this rule, it just wasn’t supposed to be Adam and Eve. What Satan did was to cause sin and death to come upon our creation before it’s just due time. He wanted to corrupt our creation as early as he could, which he most certainly did. For this, he was punished again. What I mean by that is written in the blog “The Difference Between Lucifer And Satan”.  I’ll leave a link to this blog below.

Obviously a snake didn’t speak to Eve and cause her to eat of the tree of knowledge. Satan was the one to convince her to eat of the tree and had Adam partake in her sin. At that moment, sin and death were invented for our creation.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LUCIFER AND SATAN « ONE OF THE ELECTION OF GRACE

UFO’S IN THE BIBLE?

This is a question many have. Are there UFO”s written about in the Bible? Actually there are many instances where one can not only say “yes”, but really do point that there are UFO’s in the Bible.

It is written there will be a war in heaven between Michael and his angels against Satan and his fallen angels. After this future war, Satan will be kicked down to Earth. How does that happen? How do angels travel? How will this war be fought? How will Jesus return with his saints to Earth at the end of this age?

When Moses and the Israelites traveled through the wilderness for forty years, God traveled with them in a cloud. Moses saw a burning bush that didn’t consume the bush. Something like that also happened with a craft Ezekiel saw. And what about this craft he saw? The color was amber. The original Hebrew word there for “amber” is pronounced (khash-MAL), which doesn’t mean like a grainy amber color. It really means bronze or polished spectrum metal with an amber hue. It’s shape was the same no matter the viewpoint and traveled by fire.

There are two men who have never died. In looking in Genesis 5 where the generations from Adam to Seth on and on and on, it shows everyone lived to such an age and then died except for one. That one was Enoch. It says Enoch had sons and daughters and lived to such an age but he was not for God took him. Elijah was taken up by a whirlwind into heaven. These will be the two witnesses written of in Revelation that will die and stay in the streets for three days. The third day their bodies will be taken up into heaven. When Jesus was on Earth, God came from a cloud saying “this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased”. Elijah and Moses spoke with Jesus while on Earth as well.

I think with everything that is written, the Bible definitely points out that there are things God and angels alike travel in. These definitely at the very least show the possibility of UFO’s. Are there little green men in these UFO’s? No. Angels? Yes.

THE LOST CORRUPTIBLE

Greetings to those who read this. May God open your eyes and ears as you read on. In this wicked generation, too many do not even have willing eyes and ears. People refuse to acknowledge the first part of wisdom, that is to fear God. The ultimate irony is usually people have fear of the unknown. The soul denyers have no fear of what they don’t know, but they definitely should. Even forsaking their judgment, they bring onto themselves great treachery before their ultimate arrival. Those with no spiritual center will revolve around anything carrying its own weight. Those with no moral compass will hover around plagues of ambiguity to their own undoing and end. In this era, those carrying their own weight believe they are their own personal god. They go on projecting their self-made gospel which attracts the cult of the spiritual empty. This is no more true than in life in today’s world. People become zombie-like followers of the new logic in which right and wrong have no roles to play. It doesn’t even have to be an actual person, but an ideology as well. The self-made gods and doctrine then have their own disciples which are willing to sink with the ship blindly headed for the stormiest seas.

 

Most soul denyers are personal geniuses which claim they know everything there is to know under the Sun, but they deny something which is at no distance away from them. They do not ask themselves a simple question: “why do I have a conscience?” Well they do ask silently in the confines of their own mind to which their reply is to then compromise with what their conscience tells them to do. On this destructive journey, the conscience gets whittled down to a splinter. Because it is their soul, they cannot remove it altogether but the voice is merely a shadow in their thoughts. When those ignore their wrongs and their conscience telling them about it, no matter if their view is “the ends justify the means”, they will eventually become the lost. That is unless they finally look in that mirror and see themselves honestly for what they’ve become. Far too many do not. Instead they become the lost. The lost then have become corruptible. A dandelion waiting for someone willing to pull it out of the ground and carry it without reverence.

 

The splinter that used to be their soul/conscience acts just as a splinter would in their minds and hearts. The person doesn’t not only feel good, but right. Instead of looking back to correct their wrongs, they look for ways to cover up the way they feel. The hardheaded would rather continue on their destructive path than admit they’re wrong. One of the most sad testimonies of today’s world. These people go on a personal quest to do what feels good to counteract what feels bad. They also camoflauge the bad feelings by coming up with cliches which really mean nothing. “Live without regrets”. What massive ego must one to have to believe they are above regret? How conceited must a person be to think that people are to be treaded upon without looking down by their feet? There are some who are half-heartedly apologetic, but they reduce people down to be lessons to learn from while not making amends. Still they go on with their chins stridently up and continuing on being what they’ve turned themselves into, thus proving they’ve learned nothing. Their flawed logic doesn’t come up with the statement that more wrongdoing is much worse than admitting you’re wrong and making amends. There is much worse than admitting your wrongs and feeling bad for them. Forgiveness is a powerful tool, which would allow for all parties to move on. The satisfaction of living, learning, and making amends greatly outweighs the guilt one would feel for admitting their sins. This is something anyone with a willing eye and ear will easily understand.

 

This life is a short one, and at any time either you or the person you’ve wronged can be taken away. Without a moment’s notice, your last impression left on a person can be something you’d do anything to take back. Who is willing to allow such a weight on their conscience? The lost who would rather go on as if there’s nothing to answer for? Those unwilling to look one second in the mirror to see the questioning eyes looking right back at them? The eyes which ask “what are you doing to me?” Once this life is over, you cannot go back and make amends. Once their life or yours is over, you cannot go back and make amends. You’ve become a master stonecarver leaving an everlasting impression on them, and ultimately on yourself. You may not be able to make amends, but you will have to answer for your wrongs. Those you’ve wronged and didn’t make amends with will be witnesses testifying in your hearing with the Holy Spirit as their evidence. As is written, fire will test every person’s work. Even Christians will have their works tested. Will they offer gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or stubble? Will you look for those you hovered around and explain to those who’ve brought their case against you that it’s really their fault and not yours? Will you say “I listened to him” or “this ideology”? Will you say “everybody was doing it” or “everybody was like that then”? Will you expect anyone including God to give you a pass for saying these things? If you do, then your “lost” will be forever corrupted. Do not make this your destiny. It’s so easy to correct. The price you’ll pay is beyond anything you can imagine. God bless everyone of you.

GOD’S HEALTH LAWS

God spoke to Moses to give many laws to the Jewish people. There were laws of divorce, sin, and what to eat. Among the things they could not eat were shellfish, cloven-footed animals, and any blood was forbidden by these laws. Food and drink laws were very strict to the Jewish people, but Christians of good faith eat things such as shellfish and pork regularly, so what happened?

I know of a Christian denomination that teaches the eating of lamb is a sin because Jesus was the lamb of God. Even though it’s written nowhere that eating lamb is a sin, again men have to take it upon themselves to create their own word instead of just adhering to God’s. Why Christian Gentiles began eating things that were not lawful for the Jews to eat comes from Acts 15:20, which says the Gentiles only have to keep away from animals that were strangled and away from blood. Yes, things must be cooked fully or you are committing a sin according to God’s health laws for the Gentiles.

Gentiles are allowed to eat shellfish and even those Christians that believe eating lamb is a sin but can’t keep their lips off of pork can indeed eat all the pork they want, save for gluttony. That’s a good thing too because I love shrimp as well as a good ham dinner. Do I sin because I also love a good gyro now and then? I think not!

Why does God have different health laws for Jews than for Gentiles? I’m not sure. Perhaps it’s due to their DNA that it’s not good for them to eat such things. Maybe even though they don’t die quickly from eating those things, but maybe diseases do come from them disobeying God’s health laws. The same could be said for the Gentiles. Perhaps if we obeyed God’s health laws, Jew and Gentile alike, we’d get rid of a lot of these diseases we have. Maybe our children who are born with impediments would not be born with them.

So when you are wondering if it’s okay to eat lobster; when you are wondering if it’s okay to eat bacon, go right ahead. But when you decide to order that steak rare, think about Acts 15:20. There’s no gray area there.

DOES GOD HAVE A PLAN FOR ALL OF US?

Many people of faith come up with cliches about our Lord without seeming to have the slightest bit of understanding of what He’s written. That’s because the leaders of their flocks would rather make them feel good in order to receive more donations than to speak on what God actually has to say. Instead they come up with these sayings ad nauseum. “God has a plan for all of us”. “God is in control”. “Everything happens for a reason.” “God works in mysterious ways.” Let me tell you what to do with cliches about God: cast them behind you and don’t look back at them. God does have a plan for all of us if that means ultimate judgment. Whether a person is here to do a specific job God appointed them to do or to make a choice, everyone has a purpose. Is that a plan for each one of us? Only slightly at best. Our creation has this freedom to make our own choices. While what is written of the end is written in stone (don’t let anyone fool you otherwise), it’s up to each individual what happens to them ultimately. If they choose rightly, then they have everlasting life. Notice it’s up to choice.

Is God in control? Of Himself, His angels, and His elect He is. Of those who are here to make a choice, He’s not in control of them now. They have to make a choice, so how can He or why would He control anyone that needs to make a choice? Does He interfere sometimes in their lives? Sure He does. Does that mean He’s the puppeteer and you’re all puppets? To think so would be foolish and naive. Does everything happen for a reason? How can it when our creation has to make a choice? Let’s say there are two people. Each of them die. One lived to the age of twenty-five, and the other one eighty-five. The one that lived until they were twenty-five was a good-hearted person, but didn’t find it in themselves to read and make their soul right. The eighty-five year old lived their life wickedly, but just ten years before repented fully of their sins and made the right choice. Is that fair if God took them both if everything happens for a reason? God is always fair. That twenty-five year old will get another chance as is stated in Revelation 20, but it just goes to show you that not everything happens for a reason.

With understanding I have come to see that it would shock most how little God really interferes with the lives of our creation. Will He protect those that people pray for? He definitely does if it’s His will. Not what is good for a person’s flesh is always good for that person’s soul. God is no humanist, so He shares not any of the concerns that people who are filled with the cares of this world have. His ultimate goal is to make that soul right, but it’s up to that person to make that choice.

Only does God’s elect have a real destiny, because they are not here to make a choice but to help this creation with their choice. Not all who have a particular job to do are His elect, but still aren’t here to make a choice. Perhaps their job is to help the elect. To protect them early in their life until the elect are ready to be called. Then God takes over. Maybe then He will take them from this world since their purpose is done to reward them for their good work. Everyone has a purpose. People who don’t have a particular job to do have a purpose in either making a choice and/or living their lives. Since they have no real particular job to do, there might not be any set point when they must go. If God gives a soul a particular job to do, once it’s done their purpose is gone. No more purpose of their job or even living their lives.

For those who have a job to do and finish their jobs, it would be very difficult upon them to stay here. Imagine being without purpose. They’d be the most lost and confused people you could run into. Even moreso than the lost who are here to make a choice but have no idea that it’s their purpose to even make a choice. Imagine being more lost than the spiritually empty who do not know what way is up or down. God would not want anyone who was here to do a job He appointed them to suffer upon Earth after they have done their job, to be lost and confused. Even in the waning months of their lives, they probably show signs of their confusion since their jobs are about over. God bless those people and the families who have lost them!

This may not be the easiest post to understand, but there is wisdom in everything I’ve written here. Everything in this post means something. Let those who have ears and eyes understand. Does God have a plan for you? How about making your own plan? Make your soul right. If you are indeed one that God has a real plan for, then He’ll let you know. By far most do not. As is written in Revelation at the blowing of the seventh trump, the mystery of God will be finished. Even with the mystery being gone, there will be those who will make the wrong choice after knowing the right choice to make. That paints the perfect picture of the human intellect and weakness we have brought onto ourselves.

WHO ARE GOD’S REAL ELECT, OR THE ELECTION OF GRACE?

Unfortunately, many teach that any Christian is God’s elect. Some even say that every Christian was destined to become one. Foolish to the Nth degree. There are so many questions one can ask that would tear that belief down. I’ve had debates with these people and it does no good. One even said to me “what you’re not understanding is this is about dividing the sheeps from the goats, not turning goats into sheep.” If that’s true, then this life means nothing. The division already exists. Why then condemn those who cannot make the right choice no matter what they do? Unfathomable how people can believe some of the things they do.

God’s elect doesn’t mean man’s elect. God’s elect “εκλεκτοσ” (ek-lek-tos) in Greek means God’s chosen. How can a man that chose Christ say that means that God chose him? How is a man making his election to God equal to God making His election of that man? Obviously the two aren’t congruent.

There are two types of God’s elect. There is God’s elect race, which are the Jews. Then there is the election of grace, which at least many of them aren’t Jewish. Late in Romans 10, Paul explains that Israel has not obtained that which he seeks for but the election has obtained it. Then onto Romans 11 Paul explains who the real elect are. He reiterates a conversation between Elijah and God in 1st Kings clearly in the context of the election of grace. God explains He has kept seven thousand men (and women) who have not bowed their knee to Ba’al. There are different words used in 1st Kings and Romans 11 describing how God has “reserved” these people, and the most congruent meaning that ties the original Hebrew and Greek is the term “left back”. So God says that He has left back, or reserved seven thousand men in Israel. Then Paul adds on his own that there is a remnant according to the election of grace. Well, with him saying that it contends greatly traditional teaching of who the election of grace are. One has to ask themselves, how does God leave back or reserve a person? Can a person who has lived in the human flesh be called “reserved” or “left back” from God’s point of view? If God has left back a person, then that person has not lived yet.

Those who have not bowed their knee to Ba’al doesn’t necessarily mean Ba’al in the terms that men have come to know this pagan deity. He was much more than just a pagan deity of the planet of Venus. God knew that. Elijah knew that. I will not explain what Ba’al truly was. That’s another lesson way down the road.

Those seven thousand are reserved for the last generation to live. When else would God reserve them? That doesn’t necessarily mean there are seven thousand total who are the election of grace. There were some that were dispersed throughout this age, hence what Paul meant by saying there was a remnant according to the election of grace. It’s just that seven thousand of them are reserved for a specific time. Those people weren’t actually in Israel at the time. They will be. Remember, even Jesus said to his disciples that there will be some standing here that will not taste of death until the kingdom of God has come to Earth. Obviously there aren’t people over two thousand years old on Earth right now. He meant there will be some on Earth that will not die until the end of this age.

Further proof of this is what God told Jeremiah. God told Jeremiah that He knew him before he was in the womb. God said out of Jeremiah’s mother’s belly He sanctified him, meaning God chose Jeremiah to be His prophet without having done one thing upon Earth in the human flesh. Isn’t that what Paul explains also in Romans 11? That God does not choose anyone for any work they have done, or else it would not be called grace. Grace is an act of God. A work is anything a person has done in this life. Choosing Christ is a work, so God choosing the elect has nothing to do with them choosing Christ. Not for one thing they did in this life did God choose His elect. So what did Jeremiah do to prove his worth to God? He did not bow his knee to Ba’al or anything like him before he was put in the human flesh.

For many are called to be at the wedding between Jesus and his bride, which is our creation who were faithful, but few are chosen. Obviously not all that will be at this wedding will be chosen to be there. Also there will be many that were not called to be at this wedding. It says many are called but few are chosen. Not nearly all are called to be there, but the rest are chosen. Don’t be afraid to ask questions that even go against your belief system. Romans 11 explains who the real elect are, and it’s obvious it’s not every Christian like many believe. Romans 11 is the most difficult thing written in the entire Bible to understand to its fullest extent. Inside it tells you why even. The rest were blinded. Only the election of grace, God’s elect do not have the spirit of slumber. God has given everyone else a ceiling. Sadly, far too many have put their own ceiling upon themselves and will not have understanding until the seventh trump is blown. Even the true believers will not be immune to their own slumber.

IS THERE A PURGATORY?

In a word, no. Don’t worry, I’ll elaborate. Purgatory was invented by men to do one thing: increase money to the church. If you donate enough money, your stay in purgatory will be less than if you didn’t. This is another power taken away from God by some churches and put into the hands of men. Always when men take powers away from God, they invent something that is not written anywhere in the Bible.

There is no evidence of a purgatory in the Bible, and I’ve looked. Those that came up with purgatory claim it’s to purify souls before reaching heaven. The soul has no need of purification because it’s already out of this sinful human flesh. The soul is pure already. Whether that soul is worthy of heaven, everlasting life, or punishment is up to One. Nobody else. Either way, once the soul has been loosened from this human prison it goes straight to the Maker. From there God chooses whether that soul goes with Abraham and Lazarus or on the other side of the gulf with the rich man. There is no pit stop on its way.

One should ask themselves if a person makes the right choice and lives their lives honorably why God would make them suffer through something called “purgatory”. It’s just another manmade creation to make those that believe in it to give more money to the churches that have purgatory as part of their doctrine.

Paul said to be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord. Does that sound like there is a stop at something called purgatory? On the rare occasion when someone dies and are brought back to life, the common thing seen is a tunnel of white light. If you imagine yourself travelling through space with stars, galaxies, and other heavenly objects flying by you many times the speed of light, what would you be seeing? A tunnel of white light. Does that sound like there is a purgatory?

Men do such wicked things in the eyes of God by inventing things of God that do not exist for the sake of their own cause. This is the silliest and least biblical example possible. I dare any theologian, priest, cardinal, pope to find me biblical evidence of purgatory. They can’t do it because it doesn’t exist. Men should be careful about inventing things to take power away from God and putting power into their own hands on such matters because God just may invent some things right back of His own. This is one of those things that angers me personally. I find it insulting when men invent things of God with no backing from God’s word. I issue a challenge to those that believe in purgatory. Find me biblical evidence. Not logic of why there might or should be a purgatory. Not who came up with it. Not it’s purpose. Find me biblical evidence of it. There is no such thing as purgatory. Take that to the bank.

THE BOOK OF REVELATION / APOCALYPSE

The book of the Apocalypse, or Revelation as its known in the English means “to reveal”. Many feel that Revelation is so hard to understand because it’s written to where it’s not meant to be understood. This is folly. If “apocalypse” means to reveal, then why would people not be able to understand it? Actually nothing in Revelation is anywhere near the hardest thing in the Bible to understand. Romans chapter eleven is by far the hardest to understand to its fullest meaning. The reason for that is you have to draw some never before heard conclusions in order to connect what Ba’al truly was and when this happened.

Revelation is indeed very difficult to understand, but not impossible. Much of what’s written inside Revelation is written somewhere in the Old Testament more in depth and clarity. Revelation was concisely written by John of Patmos so unless you know what in Revelation connects to what is written in the OT in the books of the prophets, then you will not understand it. The books of Jeremiah, Isaiah, Daniel, Ezekiel, and also the minor prophets are full of apocalyptical prophecies. Just have to get familiar enough to connect them and see where each thing written goes.

Revelation starts by John of Patmos describing his vision of Jesus being a candlestick holder holding the seven churches of Christ as candles. His hair was like wool and feet were like brass. No, that doesn’t mean he was black. Sorry Jeremiah Wright and other black theologians who believe this. Jesus was a brass candlestick holder, so of course his feet would be like brass. His hair was like wool and so was Moses’ after he met with God on Mount Sinai. Jesus was a Jew. Enough said there.

Jesus spoke against five of the seven churches of Christ. Only one of them does he threaten to remove though. Look it up. That is the church of Ephesus he threatens to remove altogether as being a church of Christ. The two he finds no fault in are the churches of Philadelphia and Smyrna, which do not exist as of yet as it is prophesied of them. There were churches established in Philadelphia and Smyrna in modern day Turkey, but they weren’t any different than any of the previous churches established. That means these two churches will be a future establishment, perhaps due to the future splits of existing denominational churches, including the church of Ephesus once it ceases from being a Christian church.

The most difficult chapter in Revelation to understand is chapter twenty, because again you have to have learned something mistranslated before you can understand what is written. It speaks of Jesus’ return. It’s written in the KJV that when Jesus returns that it ends the world. If that is correct, then how can chapter twenty even happen? The disciples asked in Matthew 24:3 what are the signs of his return and the end of the world. Problem is that word “world” there in the original Greek was actually their word for age, not world. “Αιων” (ahee-OWN) is their word for age while “κοσμοσ” (COS-mos) is their word for world. The word there and anytime the end of the world is mentioned it’s “αιων”. So with the knowledge that when Jesus returns that he ends this age, you can look at Revelation and see that there is a new age after his return. That’s where he returns with all of his saints, the dead will not live again, and Satan will be imprisoned for a thousand years. When the thousand years are over, then Satan is loosened from his prison and the dead are given their lives back. The dead there are simply those who’ve made the wrong choice or lived their lives wickedly. They will not be literally dead, but imprisoned inside the temple. It’s written in Ezekiel 44 under the ordinances of the temple to come. The only ones allowed to visit them will be of direct relations, as is explained in the 25th verse. Jesus isn’t going to gather every carcase of who died and put them in the temple and allow only direct family to visit them, so the dead is really just the title for these people. They will be given their lives back by being released from the temple and Satan will try to deceive them once again, as well as those who haven’t made a choice yet. Those who are deceived try to make war with the saints, but God stops them and ends that age. Then the books are opened and judgment is given. Not beforehand. Jesus returns to start a new and the last age. After the end of the last age, eternity begins.

A saint in the eyes of God are simply those who have made the right choice. There are many saints upon Earth right now. If one humbles himself before God and truly accepts His son as the Messiah, then they are a saint. I know that flies in the face of what men have defined a saint to be, and that’s too bad on their part. Paul did address his epistle to the Ephesians by saying “to the saints which are at Ephesus”. As Jesus explained, there is no one on Earth better than anyone in heaven. The reason is because those souls are not inside this sinful human flesh any longer. These weren’t prophets or miracle workers on Ephesus. They were just people that made that change and accepted Christ as their Saviour. If there was one saint upon Ephesus in this sinful human flesh, prophet or not, then anyone who has died after truly making that choice to become a Christian has to be one. Everytime the word “saints” is written in the NT, it’s the Greek word “αγιος” (ha-gee-ose) which is their word for saint, so it’s no mistranslation. So keep that in mind about your loved ones that have passed on that were true Christians. Name them saints in your hearts since your Lord already has.

I have written more about Revelation concerning the plagues and the Antichrist in my other blogsite. I will leave links to them here at the bottom. This was basically a foundation on how to understand Revelation. I got into detail about Revelation chapter 20 because I felt I had to in order to give it a proper foundation. God bless.

DID GOD CREATE SATAN?

A question humanists like to ask is why would a good God create Satan? This question usually comes from those who wish not to believe that there is a God and looks for excuses not to humble themselves and look into the wisdom that there has to be a God to have created all of this.

The truth is God created many angels, one of them named Helel. In the KJV the word “Lucifer” in the original Hebrew isn’t pronounced anywhere near Lucifer at all. It’s pronounced Helel, and it means “the morning star”. It can also mean something very bright. Helel was one of God’s most treasured angels.

Because God wanted more to love, He decided to make our creation. Many angels were jealous, including Helel. Because of his jealous pride, Helel persecuted our creation and tried to be the god of us. For this crime, Helel was sentenced to death and had his name changed to Satan. Satan means “the opponent, adversary” and can also mean “persecutor”.

Did God create Satan? No, He created Helel. Helel created Satan when he became him. Helel brought it all on himself. Because God does not want any future Satans to be come about, He is using Satan to test us since we were unfaithful once before. It’s such a painful balancing act because He doesn’t want to destroy one more soul than He has to. The alternative would allow for future Satans to come and there would be this cycle over and over again. That would not be a good idea.
