BLASPHEMY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: What is it? Who is guilty of it?

/ Sandra L. Butler / Leave a comment

Blasphemy, according to the Jews who accused Jesus of it, is to make oneself equal with God, which Jesus never did. Blasphemy is of the Holy Spirit, which is to be against the Holy Spirit; against the Power of God. The word “blasphemy” (Strong’s Concordance of the Bible) means “to speak evil,” going back to the primary verb, meaning, “to hinder, to injure, hurt.” To speak evil of the Holy Spirit is to speak a lie when it comes to the Holy Spirit—a lie that serves only to hinder, injure, and hurt (on a soul-level) the one who has accepted it. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is unforgivable because the lie pertaining to the Holy Spirit has prevented mankind from doing the works through which he would obtain salvation.

“…Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.” John 10:32,33

Jesus brings their attention to the works. But their attention is on the man. That’s carnal. That’s religion. Jesus is the word of God, synonymous with the works of God… If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.” John 10:37,38. Clearly, Jesus does not care if we believe him, or in him, as Paul teaches. That’s the carnal religious mind. When Jesus said, “I and my Father are one” in John 10:30, he was not saying that he, a man, is equal to God. Jesus is saying that he and his Father are one when it comes to the works of his Father—to the creation, made through God’s word, which Jesus is.

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is to speak evil of the Holy Spirit, which one does by speaking a lie with regard to the Holy Spirit. It was in Ephesus that Paul told the great lie that would hinder Christians from doing the works of the Father, through which they would have received true salvation. Paul, in Acts 19:2, asks the disciples of John… Have ye received the Holy Spirit since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Spirit.” This was not a concept the disciples of John were familiar with. It was Paul’s concept. And Paul’s definition of “believe” is not the same as Jesus’ definition of “believe.” According to Paul, salvation comes by believing in the carnal man, and in accepting that the shedding of his carnal blood has somehow atoned for their sins. But according to Jesus, one must “believe the works“ to obtain salvation, the word “believe” meaning, “to obey, put action to.” Salvation without works versus salvation through works. Paul versus Jesus. Lie versus Truth. This is why the works of the first church, Ephesus, is to find those that say they are apostles, but are not, liars. Christians can go no further in completing the works until they find Paul a liar. How did Paul come up with the concept that one receives the Holy Spirit following baptism? Through a misconception of what Peter said, whose words lay the solid rock foundation upon which Jesus would build his church, which is spiritual!.

“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:38

It is not the Holy Spirit or Ghost one receives. It is the gift of the Holy Spirit. The teacher of the first revelation illustrated it this way: There’s a knock at the door. You answer the door. A man hands you a gift. The man is not the gift. The man delivers the gift. The Holy Spirit is not the gift. The Holy Spirit delivers the gift. In the mid-seventies, the teacher took us to a Pentecostal Church, where we witnessed this “getting the Holy Ghost.” The history of the churches is encoded in the stories of the Old Testament, the reason for the first revelation. Pentecost is Onan, second son of Judah, who wasted the seed, spilling it on the ground. What we observed that day was spiritual onanism, the word onanism meaning of one’s self, self-generated— “Oneness Pentecostalism.” There was no holy seed being sown through Holy Spirit; there was no gift of the holy Spirit being delivered in this place. It was all being self-generated through the iniquity of the mind, just like it was in Ephesus. Paul tells the disciples of John (who received John’s baptism of repentance) that they should now believe on him who comes after John, on Christ Jesus, telling them that they will receive the Holy Spirit following their baptism. They believe Paul, and are baptized in the name, after which Paul lays hands on them, and they speak with tongues. The power of suggestion. A mockery of what took place on the day of Pentecost two thousand years ago, which is still taking place in Pentecostal churches around the world. Jesus said, I came in my Father’s name, as it is the son that carries on the surname of his father. “In Isaac shall the seed be called.” Romans 9:7. Isaac was the son or seed of Abraham as Jesus was the son or seed of God, the word called means to bid, call forth, whose surname was called. The father and the son share the same surname. God and Jesus share the same surname, Jesus or Jehoshua, the literal name assigned to God’s family— the family name, which one could be adopted into through a physical baptism. Isaac is not just the son of Abraham, it’s a period of time, the “era of Isaac,” a teaching of the second revelation, an era that began at the coming of Jesus, who was mocked for his spiritual teachings. Isaac represents the promise, but the word means mockery. God’s word has been mocked by religion for over two thousand years.

In Acts 2:38, Peter is talking about physical baptism in the name. It was the Pentecostal Church that had their eyes opened to the true baptism, which explains why the teacher was given a vision of a Pentecostal Church, where he was to be baptized. The existing baptism was “in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,” a mistranslation of Matthew 28:19, which wasn’t an instruction on how to be baptized, but an instruction to teach the three baptism: baptism in the name, baptism of the son, and baptism of the holy spirit. No man has the power to baptize us of the Son, or of the Holy Spirit, which are spiritual baptisms, making this baptism, illegitimate, based on a lie, which is why revelation of the true baptism was necessary. The Priest or Pastor claims to have the power to baptize someone of the Holy Spirit, which sounds like blasphemy to me. How is this any different than Paul, who I suspect was the one who baptized the disciples of John in the name, and then proclaims they received the Holy Spirit after he lays his hands on them, suggesting that the power to receive the Holy Spirit was coming through Paul. Where do you think the Church, who teaches Paul’s doctrine, got it from? The hand symbolizes power, but no man has the power to baptize us of the Holy Spirit by laying his hands on us. Our “baptism of the Holy Spirit” is spiritual— an internal immersion through which we experience our “baptism of the Son“— immersed in the word; immersed in truth— the gift we receive during the time we are being baptized or immersed in holy spirit— “the gift of the Holy Spirit.” We see the three baptisms in Jesus’ baptism. We have John, representing the baptism of repentance. We have the baptism of the Son, literally. And we have the baptism of the Holy Spirit, symbolized by the dove that descended upon Jesus.

It was the Pentecostal Church (Judah of the Gentiles) that reverted to the lie pertaining to the Son. Iniquity that started with the Catholic Church (Israel of the Gentiles) with their “Mary, the Mother of God.” Jesus is not God. The Pentecostal Church is also responsible for perpetuating Paul’s iniquity pertaining to the Holy Spirit. It is not the Holy Spirit one receives. As long as this two-fold iniquity persists in the mind of the Christian, there can be no baptism of the Son or baptism of the Holy Spirit, no sowing of holy seed through a holy power, as spoken by Jesus, the holy seed— I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” Matthew 7:23. The word knew means intercourse — “Adam knew Eve, and she conceived…” The Pentecostal Church would add insult to injury with even more iniquity, claiming to be born of the spirit or born again. “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.” John 3:7,8. Jesus uses the wind, symbolizing spirit, to reveal the nature of spirit. The wind blows. You can hear the sound of it, but you can’t tell from which direction it came, or in which direction it went, a characteristic of someone who is born of the spirit or born again— “that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. You can’t see spirit. They are not born of the spirit or born again. Jesus is saying that there is a spiritual birth that must take place. To be born of th Spirit in the Kingdom of God, one must first be of Spirit, requiring the removal of the invisible sinful flesh formed by our many false beliefs. We become more and more of Spirit with each false belief we overcome through the conception of truth in that spiritual womb called the heart. IF our spiritual sinful flesh is removed through the spiritual death of our false beliefs, we will be born of the Spirit (born again) upon the death of our sinful physical flesh. To say that we are born of the Spirit before we have done the works required to be born of the Spirit, is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. The followers of Paul, who teaches salvation without works, are forfeiting their spiritual birthright— their right to be born of the Spirit in the Kingdom of God.

The Catholic Church and Her Offshoots make up Israel of the Gentiles (Moab and Ammon). Moab means from (her [the mother’s] father, the incestuous son of Lot. The word Ammon means inbred, referring to the inbred thoughts (iniquities) of the Church. The Pentecostal Church is Judah of the Gentiles (Edom). The first king of Judah was Rehoboam, meaning, a people has enlarged. It was the tribe of Judah that enlarged. And it was the born again and saved doctrine of the Pentecostal Church that enlarged, spreading like wild-fire throughout Christianity. The Prophet Isaiah speaks of the absurd concept of being born before one has experienced the pain of birth, which is brought on by tribulation, a “time of trouble,” which the Prophet Daniel spoke of (12:1). Pre-tribulation or post-tribulation, an ongoing debate among those of religion. There’s both. Some are experiencing a spiritual, internal, tribulation, which can take many forms, causing them to cry out and be delivered of the false beliefs and painful emotions that caused their tribulation to begin with, through which they enter an exalted emotional state— a spiritual rapture. But for those of religion, who are still holding on to false beliefs, it will be the physical, external, tribulation that will cause them to cry out and be delivered of the false beliefs they once believed would save them. According to the Prophet Jeremiah, they will come to know that they are not saved— “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.” (8:20). If you have accepted this spiritually destructive doctrine of Judah, get out— Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:…” Matthew 24:16. “Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4. This is not just a warning to come out of the Catholic Church. This is a warning to come out from the doctrine of the Mother Church, “Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots…” Every Christian religion was born of the Catholic Church because every Christian religion teaches the same “half-baked” no works, doctrine of Paul. “Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom. Genesis 36:8. The word Seir means tempestuous, rough. It’s about to get rough for those who have bought into the born again and saved doctrine spread by the Pentecostal Church, Judah of the Gentiles (Edom). “Jacob did not steal Esau’s birthright. Esau forfeited it,” a teaching of the first revelation. Esau forfeited his birthright for red pottage, which translates to dangerous arrogance. To claim that we are born again and saved or already spirit and perfected before we have completed the works through which we would enter this exalted state, is spiritual arrogance, which is dangerous because it is through these spiritual works that we obtain the healing, salvation, of our soul. It’s also blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus, the word, was imbued with the Christ when the Spirit of God descended upon him in the form of a dove. Christ is not a person, which Jesus himself warns us about— “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.” Matthew 24:23. Christ is a healing power, which is activated within when the Spirit of God and the word of God come together during our two spiritual baptisms. Christ is not a person. The same goes for “the antichrist,” the spirit working in the person guilty of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, through which they are unwittingly fighting against “the christ,” preventing it from accomplishing its purpose, which is to heal us on a soul (mind and heart) level. This can only take place through the christ— the power of creation, through which “a new heaven and a new earth,” symbolizing “a new mind and a new heart” is formed within us, the “first heaven and the first earth” we formed through false perceptions and beliefs, passing away—the unholy creation responsible for mankind’s declining mental, emotional, and physical, health. Being baptized in the literal name was appropriate in the carnal “era of Isaac.” But we have entered the spiritual “era of Jacob,” in which we are to be baptized in the spiritual name— “And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.” Revelation 19:13. We are to be immersed in the word of God, which is truth, through which we become a spiritual son of God— the son symbolizing the complete development or maturation of the soul through the highest degree of the conception of truth in that spiritual womb called the heart, through which are health is recovered. “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:38. Cancer is sin materialized; one eating away at our physical life, as the other eats away at our spiritual life. It is no coincidence that light is being used in the treatment of cancer, the word laser compared with lazar, one afflicted with disease, from Lazarus. Physical light can put the cancer of the body in remission. But it will take spiritual light to put the cancer of the soul in remission, the light of truth healing the soul, the mind and heart, which in turn, heals the body. Disease is the result of a separation from God’s Spiritual Law. Not to be confused with the Mosaic Law; a carnal law the children of Israel (chosen to represent us the people) placed upon themselves through spiritual disobedience. God’s Spiritual Law existed before Moses, who demonstrated the breaking of God’s Commandments as he came down off the mount, which Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who existed before Moses, kept through spiritual obedience. Two Laws. Two Kingdoms— “There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God and you yourselves thrust out.” Luke 13:28. To enter the kingdom of God without, we must first enter it within, the kingdom of God symbolizing the realm of the Heart, where the healing takes place.

“Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered? Jeremiah 8:22.. The word daughter takes us to the word ben, a son (as a builder of the family name). The daughter refers to the soul that has yet to reach full maturity through its healing, which is salvation of the soul. It takes more spiritual development to become a son, the twelve sons of Jacob, which are the twelve tribes of Israel, revealing the process: “And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” Matthew 19:28. Those who follow Jesus by judging the twelve tribes of Israel become sons of God, Benjamin, Jacob’s last son, meaning,son of (the)right hand, the right hand symbolizing power—son of the Power of God. The regeneration is the process of forming “a new heaven and a new earth” symbolizing“a new mind and a new heart,” which takes place through the judgment, through which our spiritual life is restored to the condition in which we received it at birth. It is the health of God’s people that has not recovered, and God refers to them as such because they sought God in the only way they knew how, which was through religion. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Hosea 4:6 . Once again, God is speaking of the people of religion, which does not teach the spiritual knowledge that provides the instruction through which the health of the soul is restored, so the destruction is spiritual, a cancer that is destroying our spiritual life. “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Hebrews 9:27. Those who complete the judgment while on earth die a spiritual death; the death of their false religious and personal beliefs, entering the reality of the kingdom of God upon their physical death. Those who do not judge themselves while on earth will have their judgment in the kingdom of heaven upon their physical death. “Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there?” The name Gilead was given to teacher of the first revelation, knowledge that exposed the error in Church doctrine, which provides no instruction for our healing. That would require revelation of the symbolic code of the Bible; an in-depth understanding of biblical symbolism, which does provide the instruction through which we are healed. We become the physician, healing ourselves, found in the meaning of the word saved: heal, save (self), be (make) whole. There is balm in Gilead IF we apply the instruction. I began receiving the revelation in 1998, along with a dream in which I set down in front of me a white pearl-like jar. It contains balm. I look up at an old lady with white hair. She says to me—“Mystery of mysteries. Give her the key to open these mysteries.” Now that we have the spiritual knowledge, which provides the instruction, we can apply it. All the labor of gathering in of the corn, symbolizing the spiritual knowledge, has been done. Those who believe (obey) the instruction are the laborers that come in at the eleventh hour, receiving the same reward, which is to born of the Spirit in the kingdom of God.

THE OTHER DREAM

/ Sandra L. Butler

2025: A TIME OF SPIRITUAL CONCEPTION & TRANSITION

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is conceptiontransition.jpg

In 1998 I had a dream. I was getting a gynecological exam. The head nurse said, “Because of her age, she’ll be pregnant by January.” I looked over at a table and saw 64. The dream ended. It was only in the last couple of years that I understood the meaning. 64 was the number of years from the first revelation, which started in 1960. The teacher of the first revelation was given a vision of a Church. It turned out to be a real church, a Pentecostal Church, where he was instructed to go and be baptized. What happened immediately following his baptism matched the Church’s image of “getting the Holy Spirit,” or “Holy Ghost.” He spoke in tongues, two receiving interpretation, after which time he was asked to teach from the pulpit. But what he taught, which he received prior to his baptism, conflicted with their beliefs, so he and his teachings were rejected.  He referred to his experience as “getting the seed,” knowledge that exposed what I call “Paul’s Great Lie.” It is not the Holy Spirit one receives, as Paul teaches. It is the gift of the holy Spirit one receives, which is truth. The seed is truth, as it is written, “the seed is the word of God” (Luke 8:11).  1960 was just the beginning of the sowing of God’s seed of truth in the earth, after lying dormant for 1500 years.  1960 + 64 = 2024. “She’ll be pregnant by January” takes us into the next year, 2025.

I believe man is being given an opportunity to conceive of truth through the power of his heart rather than through the power of his mind. This can only take place through God’s spiritual judgment, which the twelve tribes of Israel represent. The “twelve columns” in the vision of the Kingdom (seen on 7-7-77) represents this internal judgment, through which one makes the transition from the kingdom of heaven (realm of the mind) to the kingdom of God (realm of the Heart). The call was, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” The call now is,  “Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.”

Joseph and Benjamin, the sons of Rachel, the one Jacob loved, are the two tribes associated with the kingdom of God. From the vision of God’s Kingdom we learn that Joseph and Benjamin are Jerusalem, and that the people that come out of the tribulation are right outside of Joseph. On one of those rare occasions when the teacher spoke on the Kingdom, he spoke of the wall around the city. Those in the city are pure spirit, the wall being a type of body the pure spirit takes on to interact with the other levels. I now understand these to be the people that come out of the tribulation, having gone through the spiritual judgment on this side, through which they have been purified. The wall of the city is 144 cubits (Revelation 21:17); the measure man reaches through the spiritual judgment (Matthew 19:28). The number 12 represents judgment. Judging the 12 tribes of Israel formulates to 12 x 12 = 144. These make up the 144,000. We entered the third and final “era of Jacob” with the new millennium, entering “the time of Jacob’s trouble.” The same “time of trouble” Daniel spoke of, when a separation takes place between those that are being purified through God’s spiritual judgment and those that think they are being purified, but are not. The time to enter the kingdom of God is at hand!

THE DREAM

/ Sandra L. Butler


A very powerful dream from December 21st, 1998

pearl_jar

I was in a house.  There was a man in the house.  I knew he was some sort of scholar.  Next, I was in another room in the house. Something was going on in there. Something like watching TV or playing games, but whatever it was it was not important.  The man came in and motioned to me to come into the main room—the living room.  The scholar had heard two clues.  He told them to me. The second clue was, “look behind you.”  The man was at the front door (the door was open) when he heard this second clue.  He was facing me, so he turned around to look behind him. He saw nothing. I immediately went over to a large glass picture window next to the door and looked out. There I saw men, standing in a line, across. I knew I was the only one that could see them.  I started to count them, from right to left.  As I began counting, some of them were moving.  They were putting themselves in the correct order, so in the beginning it was a little difficult to count them.  But as I got further down the line it was easier because they were all in their places.  I counted 18 or 19.  They faded away, down to the last one who signaled me over to the house across the street.  I went over to the scholar who was sitting in a chair.  I said to him, “I hope you can write like hell”  because I knew we were going to get a lot of information.  The scholar and I then went into the other room to get this third person.  I signaled to her to come on.  The scholar signals to her to come on.  She stays behind.  At this point it feels as if the scholar and I are one.  We walk up to the house and enter.  The person I’m with sits down in a chair.  I pass by an animal that is sleeping on the floor.  After passing him, I proceed to sit on the floor.  It is carpeted with white shag-like carpet, and there is a golden glow in the room like a fireplace would reflect.  I set down in front of me a white pearl-like jar.  It contains balm.  I look up at an old lady with white hair.  She says to me— “Mystery of mysteries. Give her the key to open these mysteries.”  When I inquired upon waking as to the meaning of the 18 or 19 men, I hear— “count the prophets.”

The key is revelation of the symbolic code, which opens to us the mysteries of the Holy Bible, as well as other Sacred Texts, ancient writings, and coded works, unlocking the spiritual knowledge that has been hidden— protected by the code for over thirty-five hundred years. To “count the prophets” is spiritual, which is to understand their prophecies. They are all in their places, the prophecies pertaining the the literal, fulfilled. The prophecies pertaining to the spiritual waiting to be fulfilled within.

 

THE LAKE OF FIRE and THE SECOND DEATH

/ Sandra L. Butler / Leave a comment

Audio Version

The Church teaches heaven and hell. If you’re not going to heaven, where you will live for eternity, you’re going to hell, where you will burn for eternity. The old “fire and brimstone.”

But what if the Church got it wrong?

Paul, whose doctrine the Church preaches, taught early Christians that Jesus carried the burden of their sins by dying on the cross, the blood of his flesh atoning for their sins, and all they had to do was believe it.

But what if Paul got it wrong?

Every error found in Paul’s doctrine has been corrected through the words of the Prophets. That was the purpose of the first revelation (1960-1974), fourteen years of revelatory teachings, which were transmitted to a small group of people over a period of nineteen years (1975-1994), the final transmission beginning in 2000, when I went onto social media to share what I have been given.

“Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord. And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the Lord. And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will even punish that man and his house. Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the Lord answered? and, What hath the Lord spoken? And the burden of the Lord shall ye mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God. Jeremiah 23:32-35

The Lord is truth, which carries no burden. It does just the opposite, it makes us free. Paul perverted the words of the living God, teaching Christians that Jesus, the truth, the word of God made flesh, carried the burden of their sins by dying on the cross, their debt paid in full through the shedding of his blood. In truth, Jesus carried the cross to demonstrate how “man’s word” (the sum of his false religious and personal beliefs) weighs heavily upon the truth that wants to live in our heart. God did not send His Son to die on the cross for the sins of the people, as Paul teaches. God sent His Son to bring us the spiritual works, which if believed (obeyed) brings salvation— the healing of the soul.  Paul has also perverted the words of the living God by perverting Jewish law, under which they were to sacrifice a beast to atone for their sins, not a human, which we find in Abraham’s sacrifice. God first instructs Abraham to sacrifice his son, which was for the purpose of showing us what would take place two thousand years down the road, when the Son of God was placed on the altar as sacrifice. But Jesus was not the “ransom for all,” as Paul teaches. God did not accept the blood of Isaac as sacrifice for sin, the angel of the Lord instructing Abraham not to sacrifice his son. The acceptable sacrifice for sin is not the blood or life of the son, but the blood or life of the beast— the ram, meaning idolatry; the worshipping of false images, symbolizing our false beliefs— the spiritual beast that is to be consumed through the spiritual fire of a spiritual judgment.  

“And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.” Revelation 19:19,20

The beast symbolizes the false beliefs of the heart, the kings of the earth symbolizing the spirits of the heart; unholy spirits that are being generated by the beast. The “mark” of the beast is the “destruction” that follows the beast. How many lives have been destroyed because the people chose to follow after some false religious belief, the beast, which the false prophet speaks for through miracles that are not of God, and through prophecies that will never come to pass. The “lake of fire” symbolizes the “judgment” that destroys the beast and the false prophet within us— our word of error replaced with God’s word of truth, through which we are saved from our sins, becoming godlike, the meaning of brimstone. “Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came…”  The word of God comes to us as we replace our word of false beliefs with God’s word of truth. It’s a process!  

“And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” Revelation 20:10

The devil symbolizes the iniquity of our mind, which has been deceiving us. The beast and false prophet are there because they are the source of our iniquity, the three consumed through the fire of God’s judgment. It is through the death of our beast of false beliefs, and the false prophet that speaks for it,  that our iniquity is taken out of the way. But if it remains, we will be the ones suffering the torment— “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness…” Isaiah 5:20. The word woe means grief, misery, the consequence of calling evil good; of mistaking the darkness of a lie for the light of truth, which we have all done by giving reverence to false religious and personal beliefs, which is causing the pain and suffering— “hell” on earth. 

“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:14

The “lake of fire” symbolizes the “judgment” through which one enters a new mental and emotional state, in which “death” and “hell” do not exist. It is appointed for man to die once, and then the judgment. But for those who are dying a spiritual death as a result of God’s judgment, which is the “second death,” the judgment and death take place simultaneously. They will still have to die a physical death because the physical flesh body is sin, a consequence of the error of Adam and Eve, who after listening to the word of the serpent received “coats of skins,” symbolizing the “flesh bodies” that caused the shame they felt when they saw themselves as naked. As God’s word of truth was made flesh, so too has man’s  word of error been made flesh— a spiritual flesh that has been formed inside of our physical flesh, which is visible in the spiritual realm. The first flesh to be formed was our physical flesh. The second flesh to be formed was our spiritual flesh. The “second death” is the death of our spiritual flesh, which takes place in the lake of fire— through God’s righteous judgment: “I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.” Revelation 3:18. The “gold tried in the fire” symbolizes “purification through judgment,” the spiritual fire that consumes our sinful spiritual flesh. The “white raiment” symbolizes the “word of truth,” the spiritual wedding garment one is clothed with upon completion of the purification process.  Being “cast into the lake of fire” is a good thing because it is through God’s judgment that we overcome the false beliefs that destroy the truth that equates to spiritual life, our names written in the book of life as a result of the judgment.

“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.” Revelation 20:4-6

The “thrones,” like the lake of fire, symbolize the “judgment.” To be “beheaded” is to “remove one’s authority,” which is what happened to early Christians, literally and metaphorically. Paul was part of both. He was involved in harming them physically, and in harming them spiritually through his false gospel.  But not everyone, especially the Jews, bought into Paul’s salvation, which Jesus was affirming when he said, “salvation is of the Jews.” Paul was sent to the Gentiles, believed to have died a martyr in Rome, likely beheaded around 64-68 AD. Christians will take this as proof that Paul was among those who were beheaded for the “witness of Jesus, and for the word of God,” except for the fact that Paul did not teach the word of God, so he could not be a witness of Jesus, who taught something very different than Paul when it came to salvation. What Paul did by claiming to be a teacher of Christ’s gospel was mark himself for destruction,  put to death during the persecution of Christians under Nero.  He set a trap, and fell in it himself, setting up Christians to do the same by selling them on a salvation that doesn’t require obedience to the works of the law of God, which are a pattern or figure for the spiritual works that fulfill them. Jesus taught salvation through works. Paul taught salvation without works, teaching that salvation is a gift, not something you have to work for, perverting the words of the living God.  

Paul is solely responsible for forming the “beast,” symbolizing the “false religious belief” Christians worship to this day. The “mark” for worshipping the false image is “destruction” : “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6.  It’s the people of religion, those who identify as God’s people, that lack knowledge, referring to the spiritual knowledge Jesus brought us, which was rejected by the Jews, and then by the Gentiles. Fifteen hundred years of carnal obedience to the works of God’s law (added because of transgression of God’s spiritual law) formed what I call “the veil of religious iniquity” that prevented the Jews from seeing or hearing the spiritual knowledge Jesus was imparting through his parables, providing the spiritual instructions or works through which we obtain salvation. This is why we, those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, have been given revelation of the symbolic code of the Bible, the key to discovering the spiritual works that fulfill the carnal works of the law of God, which Paul caused the people to forget by replacing it with his made-up “law of Christ,” a law that has nothing to do with Christ, and provides no instructions or works for becoming a priest. The duty of the high priest is to make sacrifice for himself first, which he does by offering up the blood or life of his spiritual beast.

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.” They are holy because their beast of false beliefs, which has made them unholy, has been put to death. This is the “second death,” which coincides with the “first resurrection”— the rising of truth that takes place as one goes through the process of judging (overcoming) his false beliefs. “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Those who did not buy into what Paul was selling, who patiently awaited the coming of the Lord, are experiencing just that. The Lord is coming to the individual in the way of spiritual knowledge. As our knowledge is opened up on this side, the knowledge of the wise and faithful servants waiting on the other side is also being opened up (a teaching of the first revelation). The “thousand years” is not a literal period of time. That’s carnal thinking. That’s religion. The “thousand years” is associated with the “reign,” which is associated with the judgment, and with “Christ”—the “Power” through which the judgment takes place. 

In December of 2024, I learned of another biblical teacher, Charles Taze Russell, whose prophecy pertaining to the return of the invisible Christ in 1914, and to the fulfilling of the Gentile times on October 2nd, 1914, pointed directly to my teacher, Gilbert Loman Stiles, who was born on that day. This was clearly by design. “The truth is progressive and shinnenth more into the perfect day,” a quote of Russell’s, indicating that the “perfection of knowledge” he spoke of would take place over a period of time, culminating in the “perfect day.” There could be no perfection of knowledge as long as literal interpretations were being assigned to the Word of God. As long as Paul (who taught salvation through literal blood, and a literal return of Jesus Christ) is part of the equation, there can be no perfection of knowledge, which is where Russell (1852-1916) erred. He left the Church, but took Paul’s doctrine with him. Stiles (1914-1994) had no history with the Church, which means he was not influenced by Paul’s teachings. For there to be a progression of spiritual truth, Paul, with his carnal-minded religious iniquity, had to be taken out of the way. “Paul was a liar,” one of the very first truths to be revealed to Stiles, every lie in Church doctrine exposed through revelation of the words of the Prophets, which is why I believe Russell was led to the words of the Prophet Habakkuk, who prophesied of the “Spouter of lies.” 

Paul was the “Spouter of lies” of which Habakkuk prophesied. Peter bears witness to this truth, which was brought to light with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. With Paul’s bogus no-works salvation out of the way, we can get back to the spiritual works that fulfill the carnal works of the law, through which we obtain salvation. Jesus said he came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill it. “If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.” John 10:37,38. The scriptures are clear. Jesus does not care if we believe him, or in him, which would be important if Jesus fulfilled the law, which he does not. What fulfills the law is the works that are synonymous with Jesus, which he instructs us to “believe,” meaning, “to obey, put action to”— “the works of my Father,” which is creation. How did the Father’s creation come into existence? Through God’s word, which is God’s seed (Luke 8:11), which Jesus is— “all things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.” John 1:3. We believe in Jesus by following his instructions— by doing the works of forming a new creation through christ; an invisible power working through the heart of those who are following Jesus’ instruction. The creation is synonymous with the judgment.  “And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” Matthew 19:28 

The creation took six days (not to be taken literally). A day is 24 hours. Six days formulates to 6 x 24, which equals 144. The number 12 represents judgment. Judging the 12 tribes of Israel formulates to 12 x 12, which equals 144, a spiritual measure— “the measure of a man” (Revelation 21:17). The thousand year reign of Christ (not to be taken literally) represents the power through which the judgment is executed, each of the 12 tribes numbering 12 thousand, which equals 144,000 (not to be taken literally), which brings us back to Charles Taze Russell, who spoke of the 144,000 being the “body of the seed,” which is precisely what Gilbert Loman Stiles saw in his vision of the kingdom on 7-7-77. Jesus teaches us who is “least” in the kingdom of heaven and who is “great” in the kingdom of heaven, which separates the Christians (those who follow Paul’s law) from  the Jews (those who follow God’s law), teaching others the importance of keeping God’s commandments. Jesus also teaches us who is “greatest” in the kingdom of heaven. “Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:4. When we humble ourselves to God’s judgment, we have entered a metaphorical Jordan, meaning a descender, symbolizing our humble posture, the twelve stones placed in the Jordan symbolizing the spiritual judgment through which we become as a “little child,” made pure in thought and emotion, which is salvation of the soul.  To reiterate, the judgment is synonymous with the creation. It is through God’s judgment that we form a new holy and pure creation— “a new heaven and a new earth” symbolizing “a new mind and a new heart.”(Revelation 21:1). “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” Matthew 5:18.  Jesus is the orator of spiritual truth, speaking of the “first heaven and the first earth” we formed through false perceptions and beliefs— an unholy and impure creation that passes away through the formation of our new creation, which takes place through God’s judgment, through which we reach a spiritual measure of 144. 

God’s Kingdom consists of the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God. Those who have not judged themselves on earth enter the kingdom of heaven upon their death, where they will be judged. Those who have judged themselves by entering the kingdom of God within (Luke 17:21), where the judgment takes place, enter the reality of the kingdom of God upon resurrection. The difference between the two kingdoms (according to the vision) is the difference between carnal and spiritual. This makes sense since religion is about carnal or external works rather than spiritual or internal works. The Church (Paul’s religion) teaches salvation through the carnal blood of a carnal man, no works necessary. Jesus  teaches salvation through works, spiritual or internal works, through which one obtains true salvation… the healing of the soul.

The 12 columns seen in the vision of God’s Kingdom symbolize the spiritual or internal judgment that equates to the measure of 144. While the carnally-minded Christians wait for Jesus to come and restore the glory of the physical heaven and earth, the spiritually-minded are restoring the glory of their spiritual heaven and earth through the new creation that is synonymous with the judgment. The 144,000 are sealed prior to the physical tribulation, through which they enter an invisible wall of protection through the invisible Christ. “These were redeemed among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.” Revelation 14:4. They have experienced a spiritual tribulation, an emotional time of trouble that caused them to cry out and begin the process of being delivered of their spiritual bondage to false religious and personal beliefs, as the children of Israel were delivered of their physical bondage when their cry came up before God. Once the 144,000 are sealed, the physical tribulation or travailing of mother earth begins.

When the sealing of the “firstfruits” ends, the physical tribulation that brings on the “second resurrection” begins. It will be this physical time of trouble that will cause some of our brothers to question their religious beliefs, which are no longer satisfying their spiritual appetites. They have entered their spiritual famine (Amos 8:11), hungering for spiritual truth, symbolized by Joseph’s corn, which fed his brothers during the physical famine. The “second resurrection” takes place in those who overcome their religious iniquity through spiritual truth, which is why Jesus (the orator of spiritual truth) said, “I am the resurrection.”  Two tribulations. Two judgments. Two resurrections. Two tribulations, which explains why Christians are so confused when it comes to the rapture, which is both pre-tribulation and post-tribulation. Only the rapture is not literal, as Paul teaches. It’s spiritual, describing the new peaceful and joyful state one enters as a result of the judgment (Psalms 122), through which our new creation comes into existence— “and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.” (Revelation 7:17,21:4). The resurrection of Jesus took place on the 3rd day, which began with the new millennium. This tells me that both the “first resurrection” and the “second resurrection” take place on the 3rd day, which does not guarantee us a thousand years (2 Peter 3:8), as it is written,“And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” Matthew 24:22.  On the 3rd day, at the sound of the shofar (a trumpet made of ram’s horn), the children of Israel (chosen to represent us the people) were to ascend the mount, which is to surmount the painful emotions of the heart. But they declined out of fear.

Where did Paul come up with the idea that the rapture or ascension is carnal?  The following describes a spiritual event that a religious carnal mind such as Paul’s would misinterpret: “And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.” Joshua 6:5.  Paul misinterpreted the ascension of Jesus that took place in Galilee, who was “taken up out of their sight,” meaning “they did not see him taken.” He will return in “like manner,” a return not seen with the carnal eyes (plural), but with the spiritual eye (singular) through the return of truth to that spiritual earth called the heart. Paul claims that his rapture will take place at the “last trump” (1 Corinthians 15:52), the moment of resurrection, when believers (according to Paul’s definition of a believer) will be transformed “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,” which is far from the truth of God’s Word. The “last trump” is not about an audible sound. It’s about a window of opportunity to ascend the mount by performing the spiritual or internal works that will prepare us mentally and emotionally for what is coming. Dreams, signs, and visions, all pointing to this being the time to ascend the mount!

Chapter Thirteen: THE JOSEPH STORY (excerpts)

/ Sandra L. Butler

Joseph, a parallel to Jesus. He was hated by his biological brothers, as Jesus was hated by his religious brothers. He was falsely accused and thrown into prison, as was Jesus. But in the end, both would bring salvation to the people, Joseph giving them what they needed to preserve their physical life, and Jesus giving them what they needed to preserve their spiritual life. Joseph dwelt with his Hebrew brothers in the land of Canaan, as Jesus dwelt among his Jewish brothers in the land of Judea, both entering Egypt to save their own lives.

“ And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? Genesis 41:38. The spirit and word culminated in Joseph, as they would in Jesus. The word increases through the spirit, illustrated in the reinstating of the butler, while the spirit, having now become one with the word, decreases, as seen in the fate of the baker and John the Baptist.  Both Joseph and Jesus had the double-portion of spirit and truth, having completed the spiritual works, through which the spirit and word of God reached their highest degree. At the age of thirty, the age required to become a high priest, Joseph sacrificed for the people, which is the duty of the high priest.

“ And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went throughout all the land of Egypt.” Genesis 41:46. Jesus, at the age of thirty, went throughout all the land, sacrificing his time to teach the spiritual word of God, feeding the people with the spiritual corn, later sacrificed because of the iniquity of the people. 

“ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of a hearing of the words of the Lord:”  Amos 8:11. Joseph made sacrifice for himself during his time in prison, putting him in a position to make sacrifice for the people, which he did by gathering in the corn that fed them during the famine.

“ Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another? And he said, Behold I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die. And Joseph’s ten brothers went down to buy corn in Egypt.” Genesis 42:1-3. Jacob symbolizes not only the Spirit, but the era of Spirit, the outpouring of which is creating a hunger for spiritual truth, motivating the ten brothers, those in bondage to the carnal-minded doctrines of religion, to humble themselves to spiritual truth, as the brothers, born of Leah and the bondmaids, symbolizing flesh and bondage, are about to humble themselves to Joseph.  Jacob says to his sons, “get you down,” a humbleness that will get the religious brothers down to a symbolic Jordan. Once there, they will take part in a spiritual baptism, being immersed in the name of the Father, which is truth, spiritual truth.  Through a circumcision of the ears and eyes, they will begin to eat of the old corn, which is to accept this ancient spiritual truth in their hearts, which has been stored up for the end times. They eat of the corn by doing the spiritual works of the Word, obtaining spiritual life. But before this takes place, they will have to feel the effects of the famine, which will take place when their spiritual appetites are no longer satisfied by the doctrines of religion. Or when they enter their time of trouble, which for many will not occur until they see that the carnal interpretations that were sold to them, do not match the reality of what is taking place in the world. This will force them into a spiritual famine, giving them a great desire to hear (obey) the spiritual word of the Lord, which is to eat of “the old corn, the word ear meaning to hear (Joshua 5:12). 

Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.  Revelation 3:9. A Jew is one born of Hebrew parents. The word Hebrew means a region across, on the opposite side, esp. of the Jordan; to cross over, used widely of any transition.  We begin the process of becoming a spiritual Jew by crossing over a spiritual Jordan, as Abram crossed the Euphrates; our transition from carnal to spiritual mind, the twelve stones in the Jordan symbolizing the process that removes the flesh formed by our false images or beliefs, which is spiritual circumcision; the mark of a spiritual Jew. A Jew is one who believes; one who puts action to the spiritual Word of God through spiritual works, becoming a spiritual son (John 10:36-38). The synagogue of Satan is the church, where the spiritual works, through which one becomes a spiritual Jew, are not being taught.  Jesus said, “salvation is of the Jews” (John 4:22), referring to the spiritual Jews. Abram and Sarai became Hebrews, in the positive sense, by crossing over from a land that worshipped images to the Promised Land, where they received the promise of Isaac, receiving the son, symbolizing the seed or word of God, receiving salvation.

Another parallel between Joseph and Jesus:
The time that Joseph was among his brothers in the land of Canaan, parallels the time that Jesus was among his Jewish brothers in the land of Judea. Joseph’s brothers turned against him, as Jesus’ religious brothers turned against him, Joseph and Jesus both hated for the words they spoke. Joseph was taken into Egypt after his brothers sought to murder him, as the child Jesus was taken into Egypt after Herod, king of Judah, sought to murder him. The king of Judah symbolizes the spirit that has gained power in Christianity through carnal-minded doctrines that served only to destroy the spiritual Word of God.  Joseph being thrown in the pit illustrated the Jew’s rejection of God’s Word, which the Gentiles also rejected (Acts 4:27). The spiritual Word of God will continue to be rejected by those blinded by the carnal-minded doctrines of religion, as it is written, “blindness in part is happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.”  A spiritual Gentile is one who has no preconceptions about the Word of God, or is willing to let go of the beliefs he does have. These spiritual Gentiles, open to this age-old spiritual truth, fall under the category of Egyptians, who are the first to eat of Joseph’s corn. But as the spiritual famine increases, there will be many that will seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. “And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.” Amos 8:12. They will not find it because they will be looking in the wrong place. The word of the Lord will not be found in religious Christianity. It’s in Egypt, the last place Christians would ever think to look for it. Egypt symbolizes the World, and the Egyptians, the worldly people, a label placed on those deemed unworthy by so-called believers; those that say they believe, but do lie. The Egyptians are closer to hearing the spiritual word of God because they have no image with respect to God’s Word. So while the Egyptians eat of Joseph’s corn, accepting the word of God through spiritual works that bring spiritual life, the Hebrews are far removed from it due to their carnal-minded doctrines.

Chapter Twelve: THE TWO RESURRECTIONS (excerpts)

/ Sandra L. Butler

There are two resurrections, corresponding with the two kingdoms. The difference is in the degree of death that has taken place. Those, in whom all sinful flesh has died, take part in the first resurrection. 

“I know thy works, that thou has a name that thou livest, and art dead. Be watchful, and strengthen [be strong about] the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect …” Revelation 3:1,2. The word of God was made flesh. When that flesh, being without sin, died, there was a resurrection, an illustration of the first resurrection. Our word of error is also made flesh, a sinful flesh formed inside of our physical flesh, the wages of which is death, the second resurrection associated with “the second death”; the death of the the things that remain; the false beliefs that formed this sinful flesh.  

“Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold thou desirest truth in the inward parts…” Psalms 51:5,6.We were shaped by false perceptions and beliefs; in iniquity, and in sin. To purify our inward parts, symbolizing our mind and heart, requires truth, which takes away sin, removing the internal layers of sinful flesh formed by the false perceptions of our mind and the false beliefs of our heart.  Our external layer of sinful flesh is removed from our soul upon our physical death.

The First Resurrection: “And Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” Matthew 19:28. We sit upon twelve metaphorical thrones as we judge (overcome) the negative aspects of the twelve tribes of Israel, which is the regeneration; the restoration of truth, the throne symbolizing the heart.  The Son sits in the throne of his glory when truth rules our heart, which is the outcome of this spiritual judgment. We will still die a physical death because the physical body is sin, and the wages of sin is death, the consequence of accepting the error in the garden. But we will not be subject to the second death if we die to all of our sin through the resurrection of truth, having taken part in the first resurrection while on earth.

“Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.”  Revelation 20:6. We are made holy through the purification of our heart. We become priests of God and of Christ by offering the spiritual sacrifices of God that purify our heart. We are of Christ when our heart is ruled by God’s holy spirit and word; love and truth, whereby we reign with Christ. The thousand years is not about a literal period of time. It refers to the seventh day, in which this purification of the heart is to take place, which is now!

The Second Resurrection: “Then, if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Matthew 24:23,24. Religious iniquity has no bounds, carnal interpretations continuing to distract and deceive the people, many of whom are still looking for a physical return of Christ, for a show of great signs and wonders, or for a physical rapture that will take them out before the tribulation begins.

“death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.” Revelation 20:14. If we live in death and hell on this side, we will live in death and hell on the other side. Those existing in this state will be cast into the lake of fire, symbolizing the spiritual judgment that brings them into a new state, where there is no more sea, no more pain, and no more death (Revelation 21:1-4). This spiritual judgment is the second death.

“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:15. If we are living a life that is no life, living in a mental and emotional hell, we are spiritually dead in the bad sense, our name not written in the book of life. But we can gain spiritual life through God’s spiritual judgment, which results in a spiritual death in the good sense. This is the second death.

“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8. The word brimstone goes to the Greek word theos, meaning godlike. It is through the fire of this spiritual judgment that we replace fear with love and lies with truth, restoring God’s spirit and word from within, becoming godlike.

DEAD HAWK: ANOTHER SIGN POINTING TO ASCENSION

/ Sandra L. Butler / Leave a comment

On March 6th of 2026, my husband discovered a dead hawk in our small fish pond. It was tagged, so he reported it to the USGS. The following morning, he decided to look up the meaning.  Hawks are often seen as messengers from the spiritual realm, intermediaries between the physical and spiritual worlds. Their keen eyesight represents vision and clarity. Their ability to soar high into the sky representing freedom and perspective. Their strength and bravery representing power and courage.

The dead hawk has different interpretations among different cultures and peoples. For the Native American, it’s a sign to heed spiritual messages and warnings. For the Christian, it’s symbolizes divine vision, ascension, and a call to seek higher spiritual truths. These are the two interpretations that are important because of what they represent. The Native American represents the Spirit of God, giving reverence to the Spirit that lives in all things. And the Christian, who gives reverence to the Holy Bible, representing the Word of God. Spirit and Word; the Christ, symbolized in scripture by the “two olive trees” or “two olive branches,” the olive pressed to make the oil used for the anointing and healing of the body, which was appropriate for the previous era. But now, in what is the spiritual “era of Jacob” (a teaching of the second revelation) it’s about the healing of the soul through that spiritual anointing called christ. The Spirit has a message, warning us of the importance of seeking higher spiritual truths at his time, which come by divine revelation, which Jesus was. Jesus was the orator of spiritual truth, which was rejected, first by the Jews, and then by the Gentiles. Religion is responsible for the death of spiritual truth, assigning literal interpretations to that which is spiritual, the Church being the greatest offender, violating God’s law, which Jesus said he came not to destroy. The carnal works of the law serve as a figure for the spiritual works that fulfill them. The Church, built upon the teachings of Paul, has the “law of Christ;” a law that requires no works, just faith in a carnal man whose literal blood provides salvation, and the promise of a physical ascension that will never come.

We (those who have an ear to hear) have been given two divine revelations. The first exposed the error in Judaism and Christianity. The second, revelation of the symbolic code of the Bible, provided the key to unlocking the spiritual knowledge protected by the code for over 3500 years. The revelation began in 1998. In 2000, I begin sharing the revelatory teachings in Christian Groups on social media. After all, the knowledge received through the first revelation (1960-1974) was for them. Let’s just say, it was not well-received. As the years went on, I began to notice that more and more Christians were leaving Christianity for Judaism. This makes perfect sense when we read what Jesus said pertaining to the kingdom of heaven. Those who keep and teach the commandments of God’s law are counted “great” in the kingdom of heaven, while those who do not are counted “least” in the kingdom of heaven. Those leaving Christianity in favor of keeping God’s law were ascending to a higher position in the kingdom of heaven. What I have been witnesses over the past 25 years is spiritual ascension in the kingdom of heaven!

If those who keep the commandments and teach others to do so are counted “great” in the kingdom of heaven, who is counted “greatest” in the kingdom of heaven?  Matthew provides the answer, “Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” The humble are counted greatest in the kingdom of heaven, having made their way down to a metaphorical Jordan, meaning a descender, symbolizing their humble posture, the twelve stones placed in the Jordan symbolizing the spiritual judgment through which we become as a “little child,” pure in thought and emotion, which is the healing or salvation of the soul. These have entered the “kingdom of God,” symbolizing the “realm of the Heart, “where the judgment takes place, ascending beyond the kingdom of heaven.

The metal tag attached to the leg of the hawk had the word “loft” engraved on it.  My husband looked up the meaning and discovered it had to do with “ascension.” The word originates from Old Norse word lopt, which is “to be elevated,” related to the English word løfte, meaning “to lift”. Yet another sign that the time for spiritual ascension in God’s Kingdom is upon us!

THE NUMBER 144 – THE YEAR 2025 – THE LIFTING OF THE VEIL (edited version)

/ Sandra L. Butler / Leave a comment

Audio Version

People have been seeing the number 144 lately, and there’s a reason for that. It’s a biblical number, so the Bible is where we will find the true meaning of the number. It has nothing to do with the mind; with consciousness. It has to do with the heart; with the subconscious. The number 144 is not associated with the “kingdom of heaven,” symbolizing the “realm of the mind”. The number 144 is associated with the “kingdom of God,” symbolizing the “realm of the Heart.” 

For those of you who are not familiar with my story… in 1975 I met a man of no religion, who had a unique interpretation of the Bible. So intrigued by this knowledge, I spent the next 19 years taking in the teachings of the revelation he received between 1960 and 1974. One evening, during Bible Study, in or around 1976, the Teacher told each of us what we represented or what our gift was. When he pointed to me, he said, “gift of knowledge.” That turned out to be true, as it was spiritual knowledge I was gifted with between 1998 and 2005 through revelation of the symbolic code of the Bible. In 1981, the man who the Teacher (in 1978) said would be coming to the group, arrived. One night, he pointed to him and said, “The Heart, there it sets, right there.” I like that he used the word “sets” instead of “sits,” indicating that this is not about the man, but about what the man represented. His sun sign is Leo, representing the Heart. We married in 1988, a representation of the union between THE HEART and SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE…

The Heart is the spiritual womb, which is female. Spiritual knowledge is the seed or word of God (Luke 8:11), which is male. Intercourse or communication between the two results in the conception of spiritual truth, which should have taken place in the heart of the people two thousand years ago, but it was rejected by the carnal mind of those of religion, first by the Jews, and then by the Gentiles. Fast forward ten years, to 1998, when I had a dream [FIRST SIGN]…  I was getting a gynecological exam. I looked over at a table and saw the number 64. The head nurse came in the room and said (referring to me) “Because of her age, she’ll be pregnant by January.” Again, this is not about the person, but about what the person represented, which is knowledge, 64 being the number of years from the start of the first revelation: 1960+64 = 2024… “pregnant by January” takes us into the year 2025, when we are to conceive of spiritual knowledge in that spiritual womb called the heart, knowledge that those that identify as God’s people lack, as spoken by the prophet Hosea, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (4:6). I mentioned to my husband that this year, 2025, our ages add up to 144. Then he pointed out that our ages added up to 70 when we got married, and that the Teacher who married us, was 74, which adds up to 144. Marriage is the act of intercourse; when a man and a woman come together and become one flesh. Spiritual marriage or intercourse is communication… 

In December of 2024, I went back on social media after a 7-year hiatus, and found myself in the midst of Jehovah Witnesses, which I now know was not a coincidence because that’s when I learned of Charles Taze Russell, and began an in-depth study of the man and his teachings. His quote, “the truth is progressive, shining more into the perfect day,” suggests that understanding and enlightenment grow gradually, emphasizing the importance of continual learning and revelation. He spoke of the “perfection of knowledge,” referring to the spiritual knowledge we gain through revelation or understanding of the symbolic code of the Bible, which I began sharing on social media in 2000; in the dawn of the new millennium, which marked the beginning of the 7th day; the beginning of the 7th thousandth year since the fall in the garden, symbolizing the spiritual decline of mankind. The word “seven” means “perfect.” The 7th day is the perfect day, when the truth of God’s Word is made perfect through spiritual knowledge, which those of religion lack, being behind what I call “the veil of religious iniquity”… 

As I continued to research Charles Taze Russell, I came across something that I believe was by design, something that would connect Russell to my teacher, Gilbert Loman Stiles. On October 2nd 1914, Russell announced that the “Gentile Times” had ended. Stiles was born on October 2nd 1914. In 1975 he announced to our little Bible Study group that the Gentile Israel and Judah were cut off. The years 1914 and 1975 marked important events, which Russell and his successors, misinterpreted… The number 144 shows up in the ages of these two men, which my husband also pointed out. Russell died at age 64 and Stiles at age 80, their ages adding up to 144. Russell was born in 1852, dying in 1916, and Stiles was born in 1914, dying in 1994, resulting in a 2-year overlap. Total years between them (1852-1994)=142. Add in the 2-year overlap=144. These two men were instrumental in the progression of spiritual knowledge, encouraging their students to continue to learn, and to be open to the possibility of more revelation, moving beyond what they had been taught in search of a deeper spiritual understanding of God’s Word… 

[It was Charles Taze Russel that brought our attention to the 144,000, an important piece of the puzzle].

144 is a spiritual measure, “the measure of a man” (Revelation 21:17). “And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” (Matthew 19:28). The number 12 represents judgment. Judging the 12 tribes of Israel formulates to 12 x 12 = 144. The “regeneration” is the process through which a new creation is formed inside of us. There were six days in the creation of heaven and earth (not to be taken literally). A day is 24 hours. Six days formulates to 6 x 24 = 144. Our new creation comes into existence through the judgment, our six (metaphorical) days of (spiritual or internal) works outlined in the first six churches in the book of Revelation. The work of the first church in Ephesus (where Paul spread his lie pertaining to the holy Spirit) is to find those that say they are apostles, but are not, liars. Paul was made apostle to the Gentiles, the three main Christian religions (Catholic, Trinity, and Pentecost) making up the Gentile Israel and Judah that was cut off in one day in 1975. But Paul’s doctrine of lies lives on in the mind of the Christian, “the veil of religious iniquity” that prevents him from seeing the spiritual truth of God’s Word. To see it they will have to experience a spiritual “apocalypse,” which means, “lifting of the veil.” 

A vision of God’s Kingdom was seen by Stiles on 7-7-77. There were “twelve columns,” symbolizing the judgment, all twelve tribes accounted for… One night, which would have been after 1981, the Teacher spoke on the Kingdom, which he had never done before, not even after receiving the vision. He spoke of the wall around the city, which like the wall that measures “an hundred and forty and four cubits” is a glorified body, which those in the city, being of pure spirit, must pass through to interact with those in the kingdom of heaven, which are in varying degrees of a type of flesh that can be seen in the spiritual realm. Adam and Eve existed in a spiritual realm, but when they disobeyed God’s word they received “coats of skins,” which were not animal skins, but physical flesh bodies that grounded them to the physical realm. Seeing themselves as naked, they hid themselves. “I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear…” Revelation 3:18. The fire symbolizes God’s judgment, which consumes the sinful flesh that has been formed inside of our physical flesh.

The two tribes associated with the city are Joseph and Benjamin, representing the two divine attributes of God, which is the Christ, the healing power through which we do the spiritual works that are synonymous with the judgment, through which we form a new creation; “a new heaven and a new earth” symbolizing “a new mind and a new heart,” which is salvation, the healing of the soul… Having been purified through the judgment, they enter a glorified state. They make up the wall of the city. They have judged themselves while on earth, reaching a spiritual measure of 144 in the 1,000-year reign of Christ, which began with the new millennium. They make up the 144,000, which Russell referred to as “the body of The seed.”

“The seed, The seed, The seed,” which Stiles heard in 1960. “What about the seed,” he asked. And with that, his understanding was opened. The seed is the gift of the holy Spirit, the Spirit being the Energy that sows the seed or word of truth in our heart if we don’t resist it. Stiles received the seed in the form of the revelatory knowledge he received over a period of fifty days prior to his baptism in a Pentecostal church he saw in a vision. What happened to him following his baptism on October 30th, 1960 matched the image of what Pentecostal refer to as “getting the Holy Ghost,” but it is not the holy Ghost or holy Spirit one receives following baptism, as Paul teaches. Stiles referred to what happened to him that night as “getting the seed.” Those who have “The seed” are in the city, as long as the window to enter the city remains open… The 1,000 years given to man to reach a spiritual measure of 144 through God’s judgment is not to be taken literally, as it is written, “… except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” Matthew 24:22. The trumpet has sounded. The time to ascend the mount is upon us. There is only ONE WAY to ascend the mount and enter the door that leads to the kingdom of God, which is through God’s judgment. “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.” John 10:1. We will be stealing from ourselves, robbing ourselves of our highest potential, which is eternal life in the kingdom of God.

“There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.” Luke 13:28

Chapter Eleven: THE TWO KINGDOMS (excerpts)

/ Sandra L. Butler

In my Father’s house are many mansions. The word mansions means to stay (in a given place, state, relation, or expectancy) revealing their spiritual element. These mansions exist in the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God; in the realm of the mind and the realm of the Heart. We choose the mansion in which we exist by choosing the state in which we wish our mind and heart to exist. We enter the kingdom of heaven by choosing to learn about the thoughts of our mind. It is our schoolroom, a place for learning about our self. Here we will ask questions pertaining to our life, eating of the spiritual manna, meaning what? how? where? and why? By eating of this spiritual bread from our spiritual heaven, we overcome that which is causing problems in our life.

Entering the Kingdom of Heaven: The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 4:16,17. The great light is awareness with regard to the negative and destructive thoughts of our mind, some of which are hidden in the darkness of repression. The word shadow means the darkness of error. Error is sin, and the wages of sin is death; spiritual and physical death. The word repent means to think differently, taking place in the kingdom of heaven, symbolizing the realm of the mind. We enter the kingdom of heaven through a desire to change our life, activating a process that begins with changing our thoughts, the holy spirit bringing the negative and destructive thoughts or memories, hidden in the darkness of repression, into the light; into our awareness. The land of Zabulon (Zebulun), and the land of Nephtalim (Naphtali) by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles. Matthew 4:15. It is the Gentiles that come into the light.  A spiritual Gentile is one that is open-minded; one that is willing to learn about oneself.  The land of the Gentiles begins at Zebulun and ends at Naphtali, which has to do with us becoming aware of the destructive thoughts we have become inhabited with, and then becoming aware of the erroneous beliefs that generate them. When we experience this stage of the spiritual process, we have passed over from the kingdom of heaven to the kingdom of God.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter that the outside of them may be clean also. Matthew 23:25,26. The scribes and Pharisees were the religious peoples of Jesus’ day. The (self) righteousness of the hypocrite comes by making the outside look good. To exceed this phony external righteousness, we must clean the inside of the cup and the platter; the cup symbolizing the mind, the platter symbolizing the heart, purifying the thoughts of our mind and the emotions of our heart. We enter the kingdom of heaven through our desire to begin this life-changing purification process.

Entering the Kingdom of God: … The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here!, or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:20,21… The kingdom of God symbolizes the realm of the Heart.  We enter it by seeking the truth of the heart. If we only seek the righteousness of truth at the mind level, we will retain that which is keeping us from receiving what our heart truly desires. Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain… purify your hearts, ye double minded.  James 4:1,8. If we purify our mind, but not our heart, we are double minded because the heart, dwelling of the subconscious mind, will hold one thought, while the conscious mind holds another. The mind becomes an enemy of the heart, hiding its true feelings and condition. We must seek the kingdom of God, seeking to purify our hearts.

Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?   Matthew 9:14… The disciples of John and the Pharisees practiced a mind-body discipline, which was to end at the death of John the Baptist, as the Law was to end at the death of Moses. John instructed his own disciples to stop following him, and follow Jesus, saying to his disciples, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” The Spirit was now resting upon Jesus, becoming one with the word, the spirit working in conjunction with the works of the word, evoking a more powerful heart discipline… The works of repentance was over, dead, symbolized by the beheading of John. It was time to move past ephemeral mind-body disciplines and into a lasting heart discipline; moving beyond the kingdom of heaven and into the kingdom of God, where we do the works that purify our heart… For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man… Matthew 15:19,20. When he speaketh fair, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart.  Proverbs 26:25 …

Be watchful, and strengthen [be strong about] the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.  Revelation 3:2. The word seven and perfect share the same meaning, to be complete.  What makes us complete or perfect, is the word of God, which we receive by doing the works (John 10:35-38). It is through these spiritual works that we receive the salvation of our soul, our faith complete, perfected… When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none… Man has done a good job of purifying his thoughts, but he has yet to purify his heart. His works are not yet made perfect; not yet complete, so he finds no rest. He must enter the kingdom of God, where the enemy dwells. If I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Matthew 12:28… Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he cast seven devils. Mark 16:9… When you become aware of the false beliefs that inhabit your heart, the kingdom of God is come unto you; you have entered the kingdom of God. You have placed your feet on holy ground, where you are to fight a holy war, driving the unholy inhabitants out of your spiritual promised land, as the children of Israel were to drive the seven inhabitants out of the literal Promised Land.
