THE RAPTURE

Audio Version

rapture-1The origin of the term comes from Paul, in which he uses the Greek word harpazo, meaning to snatch away or to seize,to teach that believers in Jesus Christ (according to Paul’s definition) would be snatched away from the earth into the air. “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”  1 Thessalonians 4:17. Paul teaches a physical return and ascension.  Jesus does not! 

Paul was not a witness to the ascension that took place in Galilee.

“And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up: and a cloud received him out of their sight.”  Acts 1:9. Jesus was taken up out of their sight, meaning  they did not see him taken“And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel.”  Acts 1:10. The two men in white apparel symbolize the two witnesses, who in that day were John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ— the embodiments of God’s Spirit and Word— the “spirit of truth,” which has come to teach us the truth regarding Jesus’ return, which Paul will turn into a lie. “Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” Acts 1:1. If the men of Galilee were doing right by gazing up into heaven, waiting on a physical return, what need would there have been for the two men to question it? The two witnesses of God have come to stop the iniquity that will soon spread regarding Jesus’ return, who will come in the same manner as he left, out of their sight— a return not seen through the physical eyes (plural), but through the spiritual eye (singular) the third eye, as it is written, Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him…”  Revelation 1:7.  The clouds [of heaven] symbolize the thoughts [of the mind]. Truth comes with or through the thoughts of the mind (by way of the heart) when there is “silence in heaven,” which opens the “seventh seal” (Revelation 8:1), which is the same as the seventh chakra. Christians will have to silence their mind of the religious iniquity they have been taught if they want to open (activate) this spiritual crown chakra, through which they will see the spiritual Jesus— the spiritual truth of God’s Word.  

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:” 1 Thessalonians 4:16. More evidence of Paul’s carnal mind. As the men of Galilee did not see the Lord ascend, Christians will not see him descend.  An angel is a messenger. The voice of the archangel that Paul speaks of (but does not understand) is the truth that speaks to us through the holy spirit when we quiet our mind, bringing messages from our heart to our mind, and back again, illustrated by the angels that ascended and descended upon the ladder in Jacob’s dream, which was set up on earth, symbolizing the heart, and reached into heaven, symbolizing the mind. The ladder symbolizes  the process by which the painful emotions of our heart are transformed, through which we experience a spiritual rapture; an elated (joyful) emotional state. Christians await Jesus’ second coming, which has already taken place. His first coming was his birth. His second was when he appeared to his Apostles in Jerusalem. His third is spiritual, coinciding with the third and final spiritual “era of Jacob,” which began with the new millennium, when Jesus returns to the individual in the form of truth returning to that spiritual earth called the heart.

The children of Israel, chosen to represent us the people, were to ascend the mount on the third day at the sound of the shofar (trumpet), but they declined out of fear.  The third day began in the year 2000; the beginning of the third thousandth year since the crucifixion of Jesus (2 Peter 3:8). We have all crucified the truth from within our heart through false religious and personal beliefs. The trumpet that Paul speaks of has already sounded. The sound of the trumpet means prepare for battle. The time to overcome our spiritual enemy of false beliefs, resurrecting truth from within our heart, is now!

VIRUS: SPIRITUAL CAUSE and CURE

Audio Version

Coronavirus

Virus: Any of various submicroscopic agents that infect living organisms, often causing disease.  A harmful or destructive influence.

In the year 2000, the world entered the third and final era of Jacob; a time of transition from carnal to spiritual, when that which is spiritual is being manifested in the physical, world-wide. It is imperative that we look for the spiritual cause of the destructive events taking place around us. The virus is the manifestation of man’s iniquity.

Some would say that the virus has been around since time began. Precisely.  Iniquity is sin, and sin brings death. It was after Eve listened to the serpent, symbolizing iniquity, that time, which is necessary for death to occur, began. Iniquity causes confusion, which is why there is so much confusion with this 21st century virus, which like iniquity, has spread exponentially.

The source of the iniquity that has caused so much confusion, is the Church.  Babylon the Great. The word Babylon means confusion.

“And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”  Revelation 17:5  

The Catholic Church is referred to as the Mother Church, the harlots being the Christian religions born of her, which is why it is written: 

“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

Those that consider themselves to be God’s people are among the super-spreaders, religion contributing greatly to the cause of the virus, the iniquity of the Christian Religion (founded upon the teachings of Paul, not Jesus,) spreading exponentially, which is now, in what is the spiritual era, the cause of the virus that plagues us.  Another biblical word used to symbolize iniquity, is leaven.  

“Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.  Matthew 16:6

The Pharisees and Sadducees were religious sects within Judaism during the time of Jesus. Iniquity is not only being spread through Christianity.  It is being spread through Judaism.

“Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.”  Isaiah 1:13,14

We are to worship God in spirit and in truth (John 4:24), not through carnal teachings that have us waiting on a physical Jesus, or through carnal acts, which are now counted as iniquity— the spiritual cause of the virus.  Iniquity is lies, which include the lies we speak to ourselves, about ourselves, in our own mind, on a conscious and subconscious level.  We must repent when it comes to our religious and personal beliefs, which is to think differently about what we have been taught, replacing our iniquities with truth. Until we do, we are counted among the spreaders of this deadly virus.

There must be a drastic change in the way we think, so it should come as no surprise that the Covid-19 variant is called Delta, the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet, the symbol an isosceles triangle (Δ), meaning change.  Omicron is the fifth variant and the fifteenth letter of the Greek alphabet.  Jesus, symbolizing truth, came in the fifth; in the beginning of the fifth thousandth year, and in the fifteenth (in God’s cycle of time), which we see when adding 1+2+3+4+5, which equals fifteen.  Jesus brought us truth, which was soon replaced with iniquity, the source of this iniquity found in the root meaning of Omicron, micron meaning little, or short— the literal description of Saul of Tarsus, whose name was changed to Paul, meaning little, a derivative of the primary verb meaning stop, come to an end. Paul is the source of the religious iniquity of Christianity. To stop the virus, we must stop the iniquity.  

Iniquity is the spiritual cause.  Truth is the spiritual cure.

CANCER: SPIRITUAL CAUSE and CURE

Audio Version

cancer_cellCancer: an abnormal growth of cells which tend to increase in an uncontrolled way and, in some cases, to metastasize (spread).  Cancer is a group of more than 100 different and distinctive diseases and can involve any tissue of the body and have many different forms in each body area. 

“ If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.”  Exodus 15:26

 Moses is speaking to the children of Israel (chosen to represent us the people), who have failed to put their trust in Moses, symbolizing the Spirit of God. “Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do ye.”  Acts 7:51. If  we, the people, would have given ear (obeyed) the commandments, which contain the statutes, we would not be plagued with these diseases. It is not God that puts these diseases upon us. It is our own spiritual disobedience. Egypt symbolizes the World, the Egyptians, the people of the World.  When the children of Israel disobeyed the 10 commandments, they were given the 613 commandments, the 10 contained in the 613, which is found in the math: 6+1+3 = 10. Disobeying the 10, which are spiritual commandments, gives power to the negative and destructive energy that causes the disease.

To prevent this destructive spiritual (mental and emotional) energy from moving into the body, requires a remission: a lessening in the degree or intensity of this unhealthy energy. “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins…”  Acts 2:38. In the previous “era of Isaac,” being physically baptized in the literal name was enough to put the sin (the negative and destructive energy that causes cancer, and all other diseases) in remission.  But we are now in the spiritual “era of Jacob” in which a spiritual immersion in the spiritual name is needed for the remission of sin.  The spiritual name is truth.  When tempted by the Pharisees as to which was the greatest commandment, Jesus brought them down to 1, found in the math, by adding the numbers: 6+1+3 = 10 = 1+0 = 1. That ONE law is Love. “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” Matthew 22:37,39.  Love has no power until it is directed toward someone or something. How did God demonstrate His Love for us? By giving us Jesus, the truth personified.  How do we love ourselves?  By giving ourselves truth.  Under the carnal law, if you break one commandment you are guilty of breaking them all.  But if we obey the first of God’s spiritual commandments: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” we obey them all. The other gods symbolize the false beliefs that generate the negative and destructive energy that causes the disease.  False beliefs are the cause.  Truth is the cure.

THE SEVEN CHURCHES IN ASIA

Audio Version

download (1)

THE SEVEN CHURCHES mentioned in the book of Revelation were founded upon Paul’s teachings. But they also pertain to the religions or religious beliefs that grew out of those teachings, which were formed between the middle of the first century up until the twenty-first century. The number seven pertains to the spiritual. An angel is a messenger. We are to hear the message of the churches.  To hear is to believe, which is to obey or put action to these spiritual works.  

“ Unto the angel of the church of EPHESUS write… I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars… and for my name’s sake hast labored… Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou has left thy first love… repent and do the first works…” Revelation 2:1-5. The message of the first church is to begin the works of tearing down the false religious image or belief, which begins with identifying the lies in its doctrine, which is to labor for my name’s sake; for the sake of truth— the first love we left when we unwittingly bought into the religious lie. Now we must repent, which is to think differently about the Word of God, and do the first works, which is to seek the spiritual truth of God’s Word, through which we overcome the religious iniquity. Ephesus is the first church, representing mainstream Christianity, which is made up of three main religions: Catholic, Trinity, and Pentecost, which takes us from the middle of the first century to the beginning of the twentieth century, the Pentecostal theology dating back to 1905.  All three built upon the teachings of the apostle Paul— a doctrine of lies that will not stand in the face of truth.

“And unto the angel of the church in SMYRNA write…  I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews but are not, but are of the synagogue of Satan.  Fear none of those things which thou shall suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that you may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life… He that overcometh shall not be hurt by the second death.” Revelation 2:8-11.  The works are the labor they have put into seeking truth, their tribulation being the rejection they feel from those they once considered friends. Those who have discovered the lies or iniquity in the doctrines of religion, and who are now seeking truth, were poor, but are now rich through the truth that is being revealed to them.  Those which say they are Jews but are not, are (in the spiritual sense) those which say they believe, but do not, because to believe is to put action to the spiritual works made known to us through these churches. The devil symbolizes the religious iniquity, which through their sincere desire to overcome, will cast some of them into prison, which is a good thing!

It was in the solitude of prison that Joseph became introspective, coming in contact with the baker and the butler, symbolizing the spirit and word of God.  The ten days is not about a literal period of time, but about what occurs during this time, which is a change in the way we think about God’s Word.  Those who stay faithful by completing the works of the first six churches experience the second death”— a spiritual death, through which they will receive a crown of life— spiritual life.  Those which say they are Jews but are not (in the literal sense) are Messianic Jews. They are of the synagogue of Satan because the carnal traditions they observe are being counted as iniquity, which Satan symbolizes (Isaiah 1:13). Messianic Judaism emerged in the 1960s, which combines Christianity with elements of Judaism and Jewish tradition. Jesus said, salvation is of the Jews. However, both the Jews of Jesus’ time and the Messianic Jews of our time, have rejected the salvation that comes with keeping the spiritual works that Messiah spoke of and demonstrated for us while he was on this earth.  The Jews that Jesus is speaking of are those who become spiritual Jews through a spiritual circumcision. Messianic Jews “blasphemy” by proclaiming they are Jews before they have experienced the spiritual circumcision that would mark them as true Jews.  The tribulation is the time of trouble the Prophet Daniel spoke of, which is already in progress.  Its purpose?  To bring on the spiritual birth.

“And to the angel of the church in PERGAMOS write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges. I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith… But I have a few things against thee, because thou has there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and commit fornication… To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”   Revelation 2:12-17. The sword with two edges symbolizes the word of God, which being truth, exposes the iniquity found in the beliefs that are associated with the first four churches.  The work of this church is to hold fast to the name, which is to hold fast to the truth through which Satan, symbolizing the iniquity in the doctrine of Balaam (the Church), is taken out of the way, which is a process. Balac was the king of Moab, meaning inbred, referring to the inbred thoughts or iniquity that speaks for the false religious belief, the stumblingblockthat was cast before the children of Israel— those that are unskilled in the spiritual word or works of God, causing them to commit spiritual fornication. It is in overcoming the iniquity of this unholy intercourse that one eats of the hidden manna, receiving a white stone, symbolizing a righteous truth, receiving a new name, symbolizing a new truth, written upon the heart of the one doing the works. 

The Messianic Jews movement of the 60s was followed by the New Age Christian movement of the 70s and 80’s.  Many Christians who became disillusioned with mainstream Christianity got caught up in this movement, not aware that the doctrine was actually no different then the one they thought they left behind. It had just been cleverly repackaged in a new age wrapping by offering a spiritual or esoteric perspective on God’s Word.  But the basic principles were the same.  The term New Age can be applied to a range of religious and spiritual beliefs and practices that grew rapidly in the west during the 1970s. The word PERGAMOS goes to the primary word pergos, meaning tower, as in the tower of Babel, meaning confusion, the spirit of which was carried over into the new age belief, causing them to fall prey to this new, yet old, religious belief, and to commit fornication. Fornication is intercourse, and spiritual intercourse is communication. When we communicate these feel-good beliefs, which teach that we are already spirit and perfect, we just have to remember it, or that we can change our reality by changing our thoughts, we are committing spiritual fornication. The seeds being sown through this spiritual intercourse are not of the holy kind, as they do not produce spiritual life.  They prevent it!  Those who overcome any of the many false new age beliefs that are out there, eat of the hidden manna, eating of the bread from heaven, the word bread meaning overcome. 

“And unto the angel of the church in THYATIRA write; These things saith the Son of God… I know thy works…  Nothwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest  that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess to teach and seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols… Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.  And I will kill her children with death: and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.  But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you non other burden. But that which ye have already, hold fast till I come.  And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations.  And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received my Father. And I will give him the morning star.”  Revelation 2:18-28.  Jezebel was the wife of Ahab, king of Israel.  A king symbolizes a spirit, and Israel symbolizes the Mind. It was Jezebel and her husband that instituted the worship of Baal, god of the gods, symbolizing the many false beliefs man gives reverence to.  It is the king of Israel, the spirit of the Mind that empowers these beliefs, which have no power to heal or purify the heart. The spirit of the Mind is the ego, which like confusion, can be attributed to Paul. THYATIRA is an extension of the third church, having grown out of the New Age movement.  I would call this new movement one of Science and the Mind, which emerged between the 90s and the new millennium.  It took new scientific ideas of the revolution that occurred in the late seventeenth to eighteenth century, and combined them with elements of the Christian religion of the west and elements of the traditions of the east, producing an amalgamated belief, like that of Christianity, the three main religions of which are symbolized by the gold, silver, and brass in the image associated with the king of Babylon, symbolizing the spirit of confusion. Amalgamated: combined from two or more entities into one specific entity whilst retaining the defining characteristics of the original source. Like the new age belief before it, which teaches that we are already in a spiritually perfect state, we just have to remember it, this new scientific belief teaches that the Mind is the way to reach spiritual perfection or enlightenment, incorporating the scriptures to support the belief, which teaches that the twelve tribes are the twelve cranial nerves. Everything is possible through the power of the Mind.  The original source of this belief is the same as the three that came before it— Paul, who teaches salvation through the power of the Mind.  Just believe in Jesus and you’re saved. The Heart never enters the equation. The nations are spiritual (internal) nations, which we overcome by keeping (obeying) the spiritual works outlined in these churches. The rod of iron symbolizes the power of the holy spirit, which delivers the truth through which the vessels of a potter, symbolizing the false beliefs we formed throughout our life, are destroyed. The morning star is the name given to the sun, homonym for son, symbolizing truth.  

“And unto the angel of the church in SARDIS write … I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.  Be watchful and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.  Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent… He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life…”   Revelation 3:1-5. Sardis. The fifth church.  Jesus came in the fifth; in the beginning of the fifth-thousandth year.  And what he taught was purification or salvation through the power of the Heart by way of a spiritual judgment— the spiritual meaning of the twelve tribes.  Jesus’ focus was on the condition and healing of the Heart, as was David’s, a man after God’s own Heart (1 Samuel 13:14). They have a name when they reach Sardis, which is truth, having overcome the iniquity associated with the false religious belief, which they are now “dead” to, receiving a degree of spiritual life.  They need to be watchful, looking out for the false personal or self beliefs that are ready to die, being strong in their determination to overcome them. The “white raiment,which they receive by overcoming these false beliefs, symbolizes their spiritual wedding garment, evidence that they have been compliant with God’s purification process.  By replacing the false word that has been inscribed upon the tablets of their heart with the word of truth, they receive spiritual life, their names written in the “book of life.

“And unto the angel of the church in PHILADELPHIA write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David… I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name… hold fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.”  Revelation 3:7-12.  We are made “holythrough God’s spirit, and made truethrough God’s word, which we receive by doing the works of overcoming the false beliefs we accepted in our heart throughout our life. The “key  of David is Love,the meaning of the word David. Love of truth. Desire directed toward seeking truth opens the door to our heart, bringing the light of truth that exposes the darkness formed by the many lies we spoke to ourselves in our mind.  The “crownsymbolizes the power and authority that comes with receiving the word or seed of truth in that spiritual temple or earth called the heart, through which one becomes “a pillar of righteousness.  These six churches represent the six days of spiritual works that result in the creation of  a new heaven and earth, the new Jerusalem,symbolizing the new peaceful state we enter through the “new name,symbolizing the new truth we have received.  

“And unto the angel of the church of LAODICIANS write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; … Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 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 3:14-18. The message of the angel of the seventh church is for those that have skipped over the works of the six churches.  They are at the beginning of the creation of God, having six days of works to perform, through which they too will form a new heaven and earth.   What they think they are in the delusion of their mind is not what they are in the reality of their heart. The “fire symbolizes the spiritual or internal judgment (Matthew 19:28) through which their heart will be made pure, the goldsymbolizing purity.  They will become spiritually “rich rich in spirit and in truth. The “white raimentsymbolizes the spiritual wedding garment one receives through the completion of his spiritual works.  The eyesalveis truth, which through the power of the holy spirit, enables us to see our life, which is trans-formed through the light of truth.

THE TWO COVENANTS

Audio Version

two covenants

“For it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by the bondmaid, the other by the freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.  Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants: the one from mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Hagar.”  Galatians 4:22-24.  Abraham had two sons.  Ishmael and Isaac. The scripture is allegorical, symbolic, the language in which the Holy Bible is written, providing us with spiritual knowledge, so that we may understand the two states of the soul symbolized by these two sons

The mother of Ishmael was Hagar, an Egyptian. Egypt, where the children of Israel spent 390 years in bondage, symbolizing the spiritual bondage we entered early in life, just past the age of four according to the biblical text.  Ishmael was of the bondwoman, symbolizes bondage. “For this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem, which now is, and is in bondage with her children.”  Galatians 4:25. It was at mount Sinai that the children of Israel, chosen to represent us the people, went into bondage by worshipping of the gold calf, symbolizing the false image or belief that brings us into spiritual bondage, which only truth can overturn, freeing us from our bondage. Jesus, the truth personified, demonstrated this for us when he entered the temple, symbolizing the heart, overturning the tables, symbolizing “the fleshy tables of the heart,” where we have set up these false images or beliefs, which are to be brought down through a spiritual judgment, through which truth reigns supreme within in our heart.

“And Jesus said unto them… 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 twelve tribes of Israel are the sons of Jacob (Genesis 49:28), which are neither lost or extinct, but existing within. “And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.”  Genesis 49:1.  The Holy Quran refers to it as “The Day of Gathering Together.”  The “last days” is more accurately called the end of days.”  There are seven days, and we are in the end of the seven days— in the seventh day; in the beginning of the seventh-thousandth year since the fall in garden, symbolizing the spiritual decline of mankind.  A day is as thousand years (2 Peter 3:8).  In the year 2000 we entered God’s one-time spiritual Sabbath Day, which we are to keep holy through the purification of our heart.  Jacob, through his last words to his sons, reveals what we will encounter as we go through this spiritual judgment, purification, salvation, or healing process.  Our false beliefs, the result of the evil seeds that have been sown in our heart, form our word, which the prophet Jeremiah (23:36) says will be our burden, which is bondageIn this soul-state, we fall under the first covenant, Ishmael, son of the bondwoman, the two sons or two covenants symbolizing the two states of the soul—  bondage and free.

“For it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by the bondmaid, the other by the freewoman.” But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.” As God’s word was made flesh (John 1:14), so too has man’s word been made flesh— an invisible or spiritual flesh that has been formed inside of our physical flesh, keeping us in spiritual bondage, which Ishmael, the son of Hagar the bondwoman, symbolizes. Hagar was an Egyptian. The word Ishmael means God will hear. When the children of Israel cried out because of the bondage of Egypt, God heard them.  When we cry out because of the burden or bondage caused by our many false beliefs, the first covenant is fulfilled in us. Sarah was a Chaldean. She left a land that worshipped images and went to Shechem, meaning to incline (the shoulder to a burden).  When we are inclined to carry our burden (symbolized by the cross upon which we crucified truth) we have entered the second covenant. Through our sincere desire to heal on a mental and emotional or soul-level, we discover our word of error, our burden— the lies that have kept us in spiritual bondage for all these years. With the discovery of these false beliefs comes the discovery of the unholy spirits associated with them, revealed to us through the sons of Jacob. Through our judgment of these false beliefs and unholy spirits, which is the process of overcoming them, we receive the promise, Isaac, the son of Sarah the freewoman, receiving the truth that makes us free, placing us under the second covenant.  Jerusalem, symbolizing the Heart, has been made free of all false beliefs. “But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.”  Galatians 4:26

SOCIALISM: THE SCOURGE OF AMERICA

Audio Version

scourge: a whip used to inflict punishment.

The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.” Genesis 49:10. 

sceptre: a scion, i.e. (lit.) a stick for punishing.

The Holy Bible provides us with a record of our political, religious, and spiritual histories.  God’s Word is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  So we can see where we are headed by looking at where we have been.  Let’s start with our governmental history, going back to the point at which we departed from God’s Word, which is revealed to us through the children of Israel, chosen to represent us the people.  They are being led by Samuel meaning heard of God, who had a direct communication with God.  But the children of Israel wanted to be like the other nations, choosing to have a king rule them instead of God, which spoke through the mouth of Samuel, who describes the burdensome manner in which this king would rule his people.  But they demanded it, and so they were given Saul, meaning to demand

How Saul rules the people (1 Samuel 8:6-20) shows us not only how religion rules its people, but how the government, under socialism, will rule its people, the two systems being of one, symbolized by the iron mixed with the clay in the book of Daniel. Religion requires the people to pay 10% of their income to the Church.  Under Socialism, the people will be required to pay 70% or more of their income to the Government.  What is giving power to these self-serving systems is laziness and greed. The people of religion are too lazy to judge themselves, like the children of Israel, who wanted a king to judge them. The proponents of socialism want something for free, which they do not deserve because they have not worked for it, the definition of greed: a rapacious desire for more than one needs or deserves. Rapacious: taking things by force; plundering (looting), which is taking place in cities across America.  God’s Word teaches that we are to enjoy the fruits of our labor, not someone else’s labor.  In this, Socialism stands directly opposed to God’s Word, as does the Christian religion, which teaches that someone else carries the burden of our labor.

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.”  Jeremiah 23:34  

It is not only man’s greed and laziness that is giving power to Socialism.  It is this demand for equality: the state or quality of being equal.  But in the end, as the history of Socialism teaches us, the people are not made equally rich, but equally poor. Only the institutions, governmental and religious, and those that run them, are made rich.  Fast forward a thousand years from the time of Saul, when the descendants of the children of Israel, the Jews, rejected the word of God, spoken through Jesus. The Christians followed suit, unwittingly rejecting the teachings of Jesus by buying into the teachings of yet another Saul, called Paul, whose doctrine of lies has created spiritual laziness and greed in so-called believers. The name might have been changed, but not the spirit.  Laziness and greed, spreading rapidly, the physical revealing the spiritual.  The kingdom was rent from Saul and given to David. Two very different kings. Two very different spirits. Two very different teachings.  Paul taught that salvation is a gift, not something you have to work for.  Jesus taught that salvation is our reward for doing the works, the gift being the spiritual power through which the spiritual works are completed, which is salvation.  We all have the ability and right to use this spiritual power— spiritual equality, the most important equality of all.  It is the spiritual ointment that David spoke of, which will bring unity among the brethren (Psalms 133).  Socialism does just the opposite, creating division in order to obtain its objective, which is total control over the people.  Divide and Conquer.  Socialism is luring the people in by offering them salvation without works, which is directly opposed to God’s Word, and therefore opposed to the spiritual principles upon which America was founded.

The word salvation means help. The word saved means deliver, protect, heal, save (self), be (make) whole.  We are to save ourselves, “pull ourselves up by our bootstraps.” Not look to someone else to save us, which will only end up enslaving us.  Salvation requires works on the part of the one obtaining it.  America must now do what it takes to save itself from Socialism, which is using race to divide us, and reparations to ensure its success.  Reparations: something done or money paid to make amends or compensate for a wrong, which (in this case) is slavery.  Slavery is an outward expression of an inward condition.  We find equality in slavery as well when we look at the light-skinned Israelites, who were enslaved by the dark-skinned Egyptians for 390 years, nearly the same amount of time blacks were enslaved by the whites in America.   Reparations appeal to the greed in the heart of man.  The Red Man, the embodiment of God’s Spirit, tells us that greed is “the sickness of man’s heart,” causing an imbalance in the earth.  An imbalance that is releasing a negative and destructive energy, manifesting in the form of bigger and more powerful storms and earthquakes.  The Word of God teaches us that greed, the love of money, is the root of all evil.  As the root gives life to the plant, greed gives life to the evil.  Jesus said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.”   Socialism, the ideology of which stands in opposition to God’s Word, is an evil plant that must not be allowed to take root in the Country that stands for Freedom!  Socialism is the scourge of America— a whip used to inflict punishment, under which we will all be treated as slaves. 

The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.”   Genesis 49:10


The word sceptre means a scion, i.e. (lit.) a stick for punishing.  As long as we remain under the spirit of Judah, we remain under its punishment, which is manifesting itself in the form of terrorism and oppression. The feet symbolize the age of Pisces, synonymous with the era of Isaac, and with the reign of Judah.  We have left this era chronologically, but we will remain under its tyranny until we drive the impurities out of our heart, through which we bring in Shiloh, meaning to be tranquil, secure, successful, be happy, prosper, be in safety.  Those that reach this state will have entered the ark of the covenant, the ark of safety, abiding in God’s protection, safe from the flood of evilness that is quickly rising upon the earth— and upon the heart.”  –THE BIBLE DECODED

PAUL the LIAR

Audio Version

I first heard Paul was a liar back in 1975, through the Teacher of the revelation of 1960.  The first documentary on The Dead Sea Scrolls” served as a witness to this very important truth.  Peter wrote about Paul and his teachings in his letter to Clement:bad instruction, vain boasting, and other such evils have filled the whole house of this world like some enormous smoke preventing those who dwell in it from seeing the Founder aright.”  Jesus was the Founder of true Christianity, whose teachings Paul perverted. Peter goes on to say that Paul is the source of these errors, and that his visions deluded him. The following are from the Homilies and Recognitions of Clement:  “Our lord and prophet, who has sent us, declared to us that the Evil One, having disputed with him for forty days, but failing to prevail against him, promised that he would send Apostles from among his subjects to deceive them. Therefore, above all, remember to shun any apostle, teacher or prophet who does not accurately compare his teachings with James…the brother of our Lord…and this, even if he comes to you with recommendations…

The Assembly of the Lord, which was constituted in Jerusalem, was most plentifully multiplied and grew, being governed with the most Righteous ordinances by James… James is preaching in the Temple when an unnamed enemy accompanied by an entourage of followers, bursts in.  The ‘enemy’ taunts James’ listeners and drowns out his words with noise, then proceeds to inflame the crowd, with reviling and abuse, and, like a madman, to excite everyone to murder, saying, What do ye?  Why do ye hesitate?  Oh, sluggish and inert, why do we not lay hands upon them, and pull all these fellows to pieces?… Much blood is shed; there is a confused flight, in the midst of which that enemy attacked James, and threw him headlong from the top of the steps; and supposing him to be dead, he cared not to inflict further violence upon him.” Who would have had an entourage of followers at this time? Who is this angry unnamed enemy that is trying to silence the one called James the Righteous?  James is in the Temple, preaching to the Jews; those adhering to the law, which Paul, by this time is calling rubbish. James’ obedience to the law would have earned him the Righteous epithet, which was appropriate for the time. Paul would have been considered an enemy to those adhering to the carnal law through external works, and also to those adhering to the spiritual law through internal works. We are to keep away from any teachings that do not agree with the teachings of James, and when it comes to works, the teachings of Paul and the teachings of James do not agree. Paul rejects both the carnal and the spiritual law, which he has substituted with his own law, which he calls the law of Christ, found only in the Pauline Epistles.

The following was also found among the original seven Dead Sea Scrolls: 

“Those who were unfaithful together with the Liar, [who] did not listen to the word received by the Righteous Teacher from the mouth of God” and “who were silent at the time of the chastisement of the Righteous Teacher and did not aid him against the Liar who rejected the Law in the midst of all their Assembly… who were unfaithful in the new covenant in that they have not believed in the covenant of God, and have profaned His Holy Name.” (Habakkuk Pesher 2:1-2, 5:12, 2:3). Christians who follow the teachings of Paul are unfaithful in the new covenant because they have not done the works. The new covenant is synonymous with the new creation, which cannot come into existence without works. James teaches that faith without works is dead.  Faith without works is the definition of unfaithful. Paul teaches that Jesus did the works for us, which is a lie!

“ The ‘Teacher of Righteousness,’ or ‘Righteous Teacher,’ leads a Messianic Movement befuddled by the Spouter of Lies, who leads many astray in order to build his city of vanity ON BLOOD and erect an Assembly upon Lying, for the sake of his glory, tiring out many with a worthless service and instructing them in works of Lying, so that their works will be of Emptiness. And they will be brought to the same Judgments of Fire with which they insulted and vilified the Elect of God,” (Habakkuk Pesher 10:9-13).  Paul built his own doctrine ON BLOOD, Christians crediting their salvation from sin to the literal blood of Jesus, the Son of God. If blood were an acceptable sacrifice for sin, God would have accepted the blood of Isaac, Abraham’s son, four thousand years ago.  What God did accept as sacrifice for sin was the ram, meaning idolatrythe worshipping of false images.  That is what the people should have sacrificed two thousand years ago. Paul teaches that salvation is a gift rather than the compensation or reward for good works, which is a lie! “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Not of works…” Paul teaches that we can do nothing to save ourselves, which is why Christian’s “works will be of Emptiness.  Because of this, they will be brought to the “Judgements of Fire, which is a good thing because they represent the spiritual works through which our new creation comes into existence, through which we fulfill our end of the new covenant.” 

 I’ve been asked by Christians over the years why God would allow this deception to take place.  It’s not that God allowed it.  It’s that man chose it.  A group of governmental and religious leaders, the Council of Nicaea, decided what teachings would make the New Testament cut, and Paul’s best fit their agenda, which was to present one religion for the people to follow.  This in no way takes away from the Holy Bible being the Word of God, which is a detailed account of man’s spiritual and religious history. It is up to the individual to discover that Paul’s teachings are opposed to the teachings of Jesus, which makes Paul the likely candidate for this person dubbed “the Spouter of Lies.”  “And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, and desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way… men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.” Acts 1:9. The same character as the unnamed enemy that attacked James in the Temple, which gives us some insight into Saul’s zealous character. It would take one powerful experience to change this destructive energy. Many disciples of the Lord were saved from death by Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus, which is a change in a person’s beliefs or attitudes, but not necessarily in their character.  

According to the book of Acts, there was a disciple of the Lord at Damascus named Ananias, whom the Lord (in a vision) instructed to go enquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul of Tarsus, who has seen (in a vision) a man named Ananias, who put his hand on him, that he might receive sight.  According to the story, the Lord tells Ananias that Paul (who has been murdering the disciples of the Lord) is a chosen vessel; chosen to bear the name of the Lord before the Gentiles, the kings, and the children of Israel, which is to stand in support of Jesus.  Vision or no vision, the story has two important things to teach us. One, that Paul is blind (if not literally, then spiritually). And two, that he was chosen to do one thing, which was to bear the name of the Lord before those of government and religion. But Paul’s egotistical character would not be satisfied with this menial commission.  He would go on to build his own doctrine, through which he would bring harm to the disciples of the Lord on a soul-level. Paul wastes no time setting out to gather a following, selling his Christ doctrine to the disciples of John and to the disciples of Jesus, possessing the spirit of a politician, who assumes different personas to gain votes. “And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; to them that are without the law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without the law.  To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.”

Paul, out saving people.  Take note of how often Paul refers to himself.  The ego at work.  His zealous character, now used to save rather than slaughter, has not changed one bit. Paul’s need to save others following his so-called conversion, is where the idea of saving souls comes from— an ego-driven role being played out by many Christians.  Trying to save others with some bogus salvation, while rejecting their own true salvation.  Paul has appointed himself to teach the gospel of Christ, as does the priest or pastor, but what spirit is leading him?  “For I would that all men were even as myself… It is good for them if they abide even as I.  But if they cannot, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.  And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband…”  Paul wants other men to be like him, celibate, controlling their sexual urges. But if they cannot, due to the lust of their physical flesh, they should marry, and remain married.  If the wife does leave, she is to remain unmarried.  Paul claims that this is the Lord’s command, which is a lie!  This is a religious command, initiated by Paul, and instituted by the Catholic Church. And we all know the evil that was perpetuated by priests who could not control a lust that is inherent to the physical body. James, contrary to Paul, teaches on the spiritual lust of our spiritual flesh, which is not to be controlled, but overcome through the removal of the flesh that drives the lust.  This takes place through the spiritual circumcision the prophet Jeremiah spoke of, whose words Paul plagiarized. “Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings” (4:4).

Paul teaches salvation without works. Jesus teaches salvation through works. Paul teaches that the righteousness associated with obedience to the works of the Law, was self-righteousness.  Paul was a Pharisee, son of a Pharisee, a zealot when it came to obedience to the carnal Law.  But having seen the light, claims to have shed his robe of self-righteousness, saying, “not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ…the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.”  Jesus said he came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill it.  The carnal works of the law were to remain in effect until they were fulfilled through spiritual works. What Paul is doing, is tearing down the works of the law in order to lay the ground-work for his faith without works doctrine.  According to Paul, one becomes righteous by having faith in Christ.  Not by doing the works that perfects one’s faith, which is what James taught.  Under Paul’s doctrine, one can simply believe in the man Jesus, and be saved. Jesus, on the other hand, does not care if we believe [in] him, as recorded in the book of John.  He wants us to believe the works, which is to obey or put action to the spiritual works, through which our faith is made perfect, completed, our soul receiving salvation. “Receiving the end of your faith even the salvation of your souls.”  1 Peter 1:9

The revelation of 1960 exposed the error in the doctrines of Christianity, exposing the lies in Paul’s doctrine.  Let’s start with water baptism.  Jesus instructs his Apostles to remain in Jerusalem and wait for the promise. He re-enforces John’s baptism unto repentance, and then speaks of the holy Spirit immersion or baptism that was to follow their baptism in the name. “Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”  Acts 2:38. They were to wait for the promise, which is the gift“And it happened, while Apollos was in Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper parts came to Ephesus: and having found Some disciples, he said to them, “Have you received the holy Spirit since you believed?”  Paul teaches that the gift is the Holy Spirit, which is a lie! There is nothing about receiving the holy Spirit from Jesus, or Peter— the rock upon which Jesus said he would build his church, which is spiritual!  Paul, out to build his own churches, with his own doctrine, has found some pure vessels into which to pour his iniquity. They are disciples of John, having been baptized with water unto repentance.  Paul tells them that John told the people that they should believe on him that was to come after, and be baptized in the name. Paul taught the people to believe in the man.  Jesus taught the people to believe the works. Once again, Paul, with his carnal mind, is making it about the man.  If Paul were being led of the holy Spirit, he would understand the workings of the holy Spirit. He would know that it is not the holy Spirit one receives following baptism in the name, but the gift of the holy Spirit.  The Teacher of the first revelation illustrated it this way:  There is a knock at the door.  You open 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.  One receives the gift during the time one is immersed in holy spirit, the power that delivers the promise or gift, which is truth. 

Paul’s great lie has not only created a lust for spiritual power in Christians, which the promise or gift will have no part in.  It is keeping many of them from doing the spiritual works through which they would receive true salvation. The disciples in Ephesus believed the words of Paul and were baptized in the name, after which Paul laid hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, and prophesying.  The power of suggestion.  They received exactly what Paul told them they would receive once they believed— a mockery being played out in churches around the world.  What makes it a mockery is that it’s an imitation of the real thing, which took place on the day of Pentecost, which Paul took no part in. Paul teaches that one fulfills his made-up “law of Christ” by bearing one another’s burden, as Jesus did for us by dying on the cross.  More lies. “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… And the burden of the Lord shall he mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God…”  Jeremiah 23:34,36. The burden was never Jesus’ to carry. Truth carries no burden. It makes us free. Jesus carried the cross to demonstrate how our word of lies weighs heavily upon the truth that wants to live in our heart.  Because of Paul, the Church teaches that Jesus died for our sins, which is a lie!  Jesus died because of our sins; because of our iniquities, as spoken by the Prophet Isaiah.  Truth dies because of iniquity.

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”  Paul is referring to being free of their bondage to the carnal law, which his “law of Christ” sets them free of.  This is where Christians get the idea that they are set free of their bondage or addiction when they accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior. The truth is, we are made free of our yoke of bondage through the spiritual works we perform through the christ power. “Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves…for even their woman did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another…”   Romans 1:24-27. Paul is breaching the subject of homosexuality, using the carnal law to support his case against it, the very law he claims his “law of Christ” has set them free of.  Paul said, “there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”  If there is no such thing as gender when one is “in Christ,” why is Paul, who refers to his followers as “babes in Christ,” even talking about the physical relationship to begin with? Jesus never taught on homosexuality because he taught obedience to something greater than the carnal law.  Jesus would not have brought our attention to the physical act, but to the spiritual act taking place within us. I have come in contact with many Christians over the years who love to boast about not being under the Law, arrogantly placing themselves above the Law. Yet, being followers of Paul’s teachings, they are compelled to judge homosexuality according to what is written in the Law.  So how can they say they are not under the Law? “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely put him to death; their blood shall be upon them”   Leviticus 20:13

Paul, being carnally-minded, taught Christians to look to the man Jesus, and to wait upon his physical return. He thinks he has support for this in an event that took place in Galilee. But Paul, not having seen it for himself, has missed something very important in the story, which will prove Paul’s teachings of a physical return of Jesus to be a lie! “And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up: and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”   Acts 1:9-11. The two men that stood by in white apparel represent the two witnesses, who are there to make sure that the truth pertaining to Jesus’ return is not turned into a lie, which they did by asking a simple question.  If the men of Galilee were doing right by gazing up into heaven, waiting on a physical return, what need would there have been for the two men to question it?  Jesus was taken up “out of their sight,” meaning, they did not see him taken.  His return will be in like manner— a return not seen! “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air…”   Another lie, revealing the carnal mind of Paul, who is teaching a physical return, and what Christianity calls “the rapture,” which sadly, so many Christians still believe in. The word rapture does not appear in the Bible, nor does the word have anything to do with some physical event. It has to do with an emotional state, which one experiences upon the spiritual return of Jesus— upon the return of truth to his heart.

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet must sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”  To say that we shall not all sleep, which is clearly not about sleep, but about death, is a lie!   Every one of us will die a physical death.  And when we do, our spiritual condition does not change. We are not raised incorruptible. The only thing that does change is our physical condition. There will be no more suffering on a physical level.  However, whatever spiritual (mental and emotional) state we cross over in, is the same state we will be raised in.  While a wrong thought can be changed “in the twinkling of an eye” upon hearing the truth, the impurities of the heart do not disappear upon resurrection. Paul’s doctrine of lies has kept Christians from doing the spiritual works through which their heart would be made pure; through which they would receive true salvation.  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.” Jeremiah 8:20.  As for the “last trump”  Paul says will accompany this miraculous ascension and transformation?  It has already sounded, the type-and-shadow of which took place 3500 years ago when God told Moses to make the people ready for the third day.  “Now it was on the third day, when it was daybreak: There were thunder-sounds, and lightning, a heavy cloud on the mountain, and an exceedingly strong shofar sound.  And all the people in the camp trembled”  Exodus 19:16. We are in the daybreak of the third day— in the beginning of the 3rd thousandth year since Jesus brought us the spiritual knowledge that is not being taught in the churches.  To the very ones that claim to be God’s people, as was spoken by the Prophet Hosea: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”  Hosea 4:6. The destruction is spiritual— on a soul-level.  At the sound of the shofar, a trumpet made of a ram’s horn, they were to ascend the mount, illustrating the spiritual ascension and transformation that takes place in what the mount symbolizes, which is the heart.  But the people declined out of fear, lacking the courage to surmount what was in their heart. Paul, the founder of his own Christianity, offers the people another way to climb up.  Jesus warns us about this, revealing the true way through the spiritual works of the seven churches: “Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write… I know thy works, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them to be liars.”  Revelation 2:1,2. It was in Ephesus that Paul told his great lie, causing those who claim to be God’s people to skip over the spiritual works, the first of which is to find apostles such as Paul, liars.  What better candidate for this “Spouter of lies,” whose instruction (according to Peter) is “bad instruction.”  Let’s stop “robbing Peter to pay Paul” by following the good instruction given to us by Jesus.

THE CHURCH: BABYLON THE GREAT

Audio Version

catholic_church

“And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”  Revelation 17:5. 

The Catholic Church. The Mother Church, which gave birth to harlots. The word “church” first appears in the book of Matthew: “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18.  Peter means a (piece of) rock, the foundation of this spiritual church. Paul, however, would lay his own foundation— a foundation of sand, upon which every Christian Church has been built. The Church is synonymous with the Temple.  Let’s take a look at who built the first temple.  It was not David.  Solomon built the first house of the Lord.  He had 700 wives and 300 concubines, which equals 1000— a number that points us to Saul, not David. “Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands.” 1 Samuel 29:5.  Paul is the Saul of the New Testament.

When the children of Israel were taxed to make a choice between Samuel, which means heard of God and Saul, which means to demand, they chose Saul. They wanted to be like the other nations, demanding a king rule them, rather than be led by God through direct communication.  “And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people, in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.” 1 Samuel 8:7.  How Saul rules the people reveals how the Church rules its people: “He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.”  The sheep symbolize the flock or congregation. To take the tenth is requiring them to pay ten percent of their income to the Church. Paul, aka, Saul, was chosen Apostle to the Gentiles, not Apostle to the Jews.  He was not chosen to be among the twelve so that we may see that two foundations that have been laid. One foundation has twelve pillars, the twelve apostles— the foundation upon which Jerusalem is built. The other foundation has one pillar, Paul— the foundation upon which Babylon is built. The word Babylon means confusion.” Paul laid his foundation through the words he spoke, mixing carnal law with spiritual truth— mixing milk with meat, which is unlawful. It is the cause of all of the confusion in the Church, which is why we have so many Christian denominations. The Church, founded upon Paul’s false doctrine, is Babylon the Great, whose judgment has come: “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached into heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.”  Revelation 18:4,5

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SON

Audio Version

Bible-heart-key-center-blk

The son symbolizes the seed or word of God (Luke 8:11). All things are made by a seed (John 1:3). God’s physical creation was made by His word (Genesis 1:3), the sowing of His seed in the earth. Our spiritual creation is made when God sows His spiritual seed in our heart. The instruction for this spiritual creation is encoded in the beginning and end of the book of Genesis, which means creation—  an instruction the children of Israel, chosen to represent us the people, failed to comprehend, having eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear.  So God sowed His seed in another mother— in the womb of Mary, her son providing us with the instruction for this spiritual creation through his word.  Jews and Muslims (the seed of Abraham in the literal sense) reject the son. The fact that Muslims reject the idea of the Creator having a son makes perfect sense because the Holy Quran does not refer to Allah as Father. But it also reveals the carnal mind, which cannot comprehend how something that is spiritual (Allah) could produce something that is physical (Jesus). Is that not the pattern of creation? Something unseen producing something that is seen?

If Muslims believe that Allah is the Creator of the heaven(s) and the earth, they unwittingly agree that Allah has a seed, the son symbolizing the seed by which all things are made. The New Testament of the Bible does refer to God as Father, and yet many Christians reject or deny the Son literally by claiming that Jesus is God. The Father is not the Son. There is one God and one seed of God. Father and Son. The Holy Bible tells us that he that denies the Father and the Son is antichrist, which Jews, Muslims, and Christians are all guilty of in one way or another.  But we are all anti-christ in the spiritual sense as long as we are against christ; the spiritual power through which we perform the spiritual works that forms our new spiritual creation. 

Jesus, the physical manifestation of the son or seed of God does not care if we believe in him. He wants us to “believe the works,” the word believe meaning to obey; put action to.  Christians say they believe in Jesus, but they do not obey the spiritual works that are synonymous with the son (John 10:36-38).  Neither do Jews and Muslims.  Jews fail to obey the spiritual works by not observing the spiritual instruction found in the beginning and end of the first book of the Torah. Muslims fail to perform the spiritual works because the Quran does not provide the instruction for these works. Christians fail to obey the spiritual works because they have been taught that Jesus did the works for them, which is a lie. There can be no creation without the son the seed by which all things are made. We have already made an unholy creation through that unholy seed called the son of perdition, referred to as the first heaven and the first earth,” which is to pass away.  What is to take its place is a holy creation, made through God’s seed or son, which is called “a new heaven and a new earth”  (Revelation 21:1).  Abraham had two sons: Ishmael and Isaac. The son symbolizes both the seed and the word of God, through which the physical heaven and earth was made. Both the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran are considered to be the literal Word of God or Allah. However, the Holy Quran does not contain the instruction for our new spiritual creation as it does not teach on the spiritual meaning of the son. It only goes as far as to say that Mary had a son, and that like Muhammed, that son was no more than a Prophet. But now we understand the importance of the son

NEW AGE & THE NEW ORDER

Audio Version

 

I was first introduced to New Age Christianity in the beginning of the new millennium, which was no different than mainstream Christianity, a revelation I received in 2004.  It had just been repackaged in order to sell it to the masses.  What did the two have in common? Faith without works. Spirit without the word. Energy without the seed.  One could simply claim to have the Holy Spirit or be Spirit, without any further action. Through the power of the mind, and the gyrating of the body, one could activate spiritual energy, which is spiritual masturbation (onanism); a revelation I received in the mid-seventies. This deceptive spirit, called the “energy of delusion,” was carried over in those that thought they left the dogmas of religion behind.  They may have left the building, but the energy that gave power to the old belief, was simply transferred to the new belief; one that teaches that we are perfect with respect to our spiritual state. We just have to remember that, having been behind the “veil of forgetfulness,” as it was referred to.  In truth, it is not about remembering that we are perfect, which we are not.  It is about us remembering (via the christ power) what took place in our life that caused us to separate ourselves from the pure spiritual state we knew as little children, moving away from love and light (good) and into fear and darkness (evil), which they have no knowledge of because the New Age doctrine teaches that we are perfect just as we are, and that anything considered bad or negative (such as disease) is just an illusion— not real. 

Interesting fact: the fabric used to make a veil (and I’ve made quite a few) is called illusion. The New Age illusion-doctrine protects the evil by denying it exists, this psychological veil obscuring the evil, an anagram for veil.  Lifting of the veil, the definition of the word revelation: a disclosure of something hidden from the majority of mankind in an era dominated by falsehood. The energy of delusion that drives the spiritual masturbation taking place in the churches, was carried over in those that thought they left the religious system behind— into what the leaders of mainstream Christianity derogatorily called “new age.”  It took on a new form in this New Age Christianity, causing those that got caught up in it to commit spiritual fornication. Fornication is sexual intercourse. Spiritual intercourse is communication.  When one buys into the “pleasing to the ear” New Age doctrine, and sells it to others, one is committing spiritual fornication. It feels good, satisfying the ego, but it does not (through its application) result in the conception of holy seed in that spiritual womb called the heart. Those that have bought into one of the many forms of this New Age doctrine or belief, will have to stop resisting the holy spirit— the energy that sows the seed or word of truth within the heart, which is the only way to reach spiritual perfection— the only way to enter back into a pure spiritual state. They say they are Spirit with their mouth, yet they resist the holy spirit of their heart, whose divine purpose is to bring the evil that exists in their heart (sub-conscious) up to their mind, into their awareness or consciousness. 

They say “We Are All One,” unaware that the New Age doctrine they believe in, and are advocating for, is giving power to the New Order, which teaches “We Are All Equal.”  There is no hierarchy, no one is lesser or greater than anyone else, and everyone receives the same reward, whether they work for it or not.  All of which is contrary to God’s Word.  Ascension (the process of returning to a pure spiritual state) is a hierarchy: a group of persons or things organized into successive ranks or grades with each level subordinate to the one above.  And if someone puts more effort into the process, he is counted greater (in spiritual measure or stature) than the one that puts in less effort, his spiritual reward, greater.  The New Age doctrine, like Christianity, offers another way to climb up. No works necessary.  Anyone can achieve an ascended or born again state. You just have to say it with your mouth, remember it with your mind, or actualize it through the manipulation of the energy of your body. Mind and body. The Heart doesn’t even enter the equation, which makes this New Age doctrine contrary to the teachings of God’s Word. 

The New Order or One World Government is the external vessel for the unholy spirit that is at work in that internal vessel called the mind:  “And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.” 1 John 4:3. The New Age movement gave birth to the idea that there was no historical Jesus, which is the spirit of antichrist. Notice it says, “it” should come, indicating a thing, not a person, which brings us to those that do confess that Christ “is come in the flesh, proclaiming that they themselves are Christ, which Jesus warned us about. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.” Matthew 24:23.  Believe it not because Christ, which has become synonymous with Jesus, is not a person. Christ is a healing power. The spirit of antichrist is playing right into the hands of the New Order.  Why?  Because, if the heart of man were to be healed through christ, known also as the “spirit of truth,” man would be truly empowered, instead of falsely empowered through the “energy of delusion” working through his mind, giving him an illusion of peace— the state of mind the people need to be in for the New World Order to complete its objective, which is to control us, taking away our freedom. 

Capitalism is an economic and political system characterized by a free market for goods and services and private control of production and consumption.  Socialism is a social system or theory in which the government owns and controls the means of production and distribution of goods. Liberals believe that socialism is the solution to corporate greed. They are all for the government stepping in and taking control of the “greedy bastards” of capitalism, as they speak.  They are willing to sacrifice all of their freedoms for the few examples of corporate or monetary greed. Why? Greed is a heart problem, which cannot be controlled or legislated by government. Greed is a rapacious desire for more than one needs or deserves.  The Government feeds this greed when it hands out more and more money to those that do not work for it, empowering the spirit of laziness that has settled over the people.  Spiritual greed is a lust for spiritual power.  A power many claim to possess, but have not worked for, deceiving themselves. If we want to be authentically spiritually empowered, we will have to wake ourselves up, out from under the spirit of slumber that has settled over us, and do the spiritual works of God’s Word. We will have to move beyond mind-disciplines. Beyond prayers, mantras, affirmations, intentions, visualizations, and the like— and into a heart-discipline, activating the spiritual power of our heart, through which we perform the spiritual works that make us spiritually free.  Freedom within = freedom without. 

We, through our limiting religious and spiritual beliefs, are unwittingly exchanging the freedom of capitalism for the bondage of socialism. Socialism grows directly out of capitalism; it is the first form of the new society.  Communism is a further development or higher stage of socialism. The color associated with Socialism and Communism, is red.  Esau is Edom (Genesis 36:8), which means red.  Esau forfeited his birthright for red pottage, which translates to dangerous arrogance. To claim that we are born again or perfect before we have done the spiritual (mental and emotional) works (via the christ power) that would bring us to this ascended state, is pure arrogance. It is the great new age lie that has kept so many from overcoming the spiritual bondage of their heart.  Bondage within = bondage without.
