EVERYTHING IS A WAR WITH EURASIA

Some, hopefully most of you might recognize the phrase “war with Eurasia”. This was the never ending, and perhaps “presently” fictional war in the Orwelle book 1984. The war was a way to control the minds of the people. If you weren’t wholeheartedly against Eurasia, you were a domestic enemy that needed re-educating. At the end, the protagonist Winston was re-educated. When asked how many fingers the man held up, Winston was brainwashed to the point where the number of fingers being held up was the number the state told him it was. Truth to the state was, and will always be a hindrance to their power. Every subject that the media and the ruling class are pushing is a war with Eurasia. “Don’t believe what you see. Believe what we tell you.”

Subjects such as race, police, Covid, education, words we use, climate change, religion, and protests/riots are used as psychological warfare against individual and independent thought. These are all battles that the ruling class say we have to be on board with or else we are a domestic enemy, and soon, terrorist. No matter what these people say, and most of it is absolutely outrageous and lunatic, there is a method to the madness. Critics might call them stupid, but they’re not. At least what they say is not. They’re on tv and saying those things for a reason. If they don’t, the powers that be will find another soulless troll to replace them.

The irony you should pay attention to isn’t what they say, which is always ironic, but the irony you should pay attention to was in 1984. At the beginning of his re-education, Winston recalls the war really wasn’t with Eurasia, but Eastasia. This tells us Eastasia won the war. It also tells us there had to be domestic enemies during the war with Eastasia that helped Eastasia win. It was the traitors in the war with Eastasia that were in charge of the state and the war with Eurasia. The traitors won. And in the United States, the traitors are winning. Since they are in control, they see you as the enemy of the state who needs re-educating. They obviously don’t live up to the ideals of the constitution, but you are the new enemy of America. A constitutionalist is an enemy of the state.

The reason they see enemies within America more than they do with China is because China is closer to what they want than the America set by the constitution. China is a communist country that has total control over its people. That is exactly what the ruling class wants here, but not just here. Conservative critics are pointing out that the democrats want total control of the government, but democrats are marxists. Marxists don’t just want control over a country. They want control over the entire world. Marxism is a global movement. It was designed to be so, and it will always be so. Is it any wonder that the book of Revelation says the rider of the white horse conquers the world? Marxism is the government that comes. We are in for troubled times, but at least in America it won’t always be so.

Eventually the global government falls, and it doesn’t take long. The wars in Revelation in a sense will be a war between east versus west. The enemies in our country who side with Eastasia (China) will be found out. This is inevitable. The kings of the east will then march west in the final battle. That will be China and any marxist nation on their side or nation they will take over.

I wanted to write this to have you look at the news differently. Also keep this in mind: when you hear conservatives who say that the media work for the democratic party, it’s actually the other way around. This isn’t hard to figure out when you look outside the small world of politics. Who has the money? The democratic party or the corporate owned media? It’s the democrat party that works for the media because the media is owned by corporations who love nothing more than globalism because globalism means total control and neverending profits. The other reason I wrote this was to remind you of what Jesus said. Let your heart not be troubled. These bad things will come to pass, but salvation will soon follow. He’s always in control. God bless!

MARK OF THE BEAST

There was a time where it would seem unbelievable where all companies around the world would make people either take the mark of the beast or not do business. Those days of unbelievability are over. Actually they’ve been over for a quite a while. The only thing we’re seeing in recent days is their boldness. The global elites have momentum and not many seem to have the courage to stand up to them. Even if they did the global elites will cut them off before they could have momentum of their own. Twitter has routinely censored conservatives which would cause competition to rise. To combat that, platforms such as Apple and Google, who do not mind Chinese murderers and dictators, are considering to not carry apps needed to allow competition to exist. That’s what‘s happening to Parler. No matter what the reasons they have and will state, the two reasons they are considering this is they don’t want competition for Twitter or ideas. Those are the only two reasons. Both Apple and Google enjoy the benefits of slave labor and/or “sweatshop” labor, so they have no morals or integrity, yet they have the full belief they are better than you. Ricky Gervais made that point wonderfully during the open of the last Golden Globes. These immoral scumbags are our arbiters of truth and justice.

What has happened to Trump, being permanently suspended by Twitter, is just the wind-up before the fastball. It won’t stop there. Democratic lawmakers don’t want you to have free speech, so they love what social media platforms are doing. And make no mistake about it, YOU are the target. Not just conservatives. Anyone who has a differing opinion on any subject that they consider the law of the new world will be targeted.

Many years ago, progressives tried to bring about a new world order and pushed esperanto as the future world language. They had no morals either. They told the world with scientists behind them that the world was overpopulated and we needed eugenics to save it. They targeted the old, sick, and lame. Some targeted race. George Bernard Shaw said that people should be brought before a panel and give adequate reason as to why they should be allowed to live further. Those that don’t give adequate reason “should be killed in a kindly manner”. The extermination of the Jews happened because the Nazis were progressives. They listened to scientists and felt the Jews were useless, so they should be killed. At first, if the Jews could work, they were allowed to be their slaves, but their intention was always to kill them when they didn’t need them anymore. George Bernard Shaw cheered at the Nazis killing people by the thousands, that is until he found out they were targeting Jews. He complained that eugenics was not to target Jews. He just wanted people who weren’t able to carry their own weight to be killed. What a nice guy! The world listened to these progressives and scientists and thought they had to save the world. When the world saw the atrocities committed by the Nazis, especially in America, they realized the progressives were sick pukes who should be shunned forever. That history has unfortunately been forgotten by most.

In the future, global companies and government will force you to accept their ways. They’re already moving there. China has more power in America than an American citizen does. What China doesn’t like is removed. People who speak against China are condemned by American companies and media. Even athletes will speak out against you. Just ask Daryl Morey. Imagine someone who can perform great things that globalists believe is God what they would do for him. Heck, find a bank that would take your money then.

For doctrine purposes, people will receive a mark just as is written. I heard former pastor Arnold Murray say there won’t be an actual mark and Satan is just too smart for that. No matter what is written of the Antichrist, False Prophet, and Satan, they will follow what is written of them. What would differentiate someone to where they can buy, sell, or trade from someone that is not allowed? There has to be something people can show to be able to buy, sell, and trade in the global market.

Apple just suspended the Parler app from the app store.

GOOD NEWS

For those of you who know of my health problems, I have great news. I just received a kidney transplant.been sick basically all of my life and had been on dialysis for two years. I got the call night before last saying they had a kidney. Tbe operation was a success. Coming out of surgery gave me the worst pain ever. They didn’t give me anything for pain for nearly an hour. Afterwards with valium’s help, the pain subsided. I already walked around and the kidney is already functioning. For those of you who prayed for me, I thank you. It meant a lot to me. I also thank God for a successful procedure and not too long of a wait. With my rare blood type, the average time of wait for a kidney available was 6-8 years. I waited just over two years after being put on the list. One last thing: if you’re going for a stress test and they want to give you medicine to mimic the effects of a treadmill, don’t take it. Use the treadmill. I realize that different people are effected by it in different ways, but the pain was intolerable and my blood pressure went down to 63/38. Use the treadmill. Anyway, I will give an update if there are changes. I am in the ICU because my blood pressure is low, they said it’s no big deal. No more dialysis, unless something changes. Take care all. God bless you all.

THE TWO WITNESSES OF REVELATION

Many wonder who the two witnesses are in the book of Revelation. One surely is Elijah since it is prophesied in Malachi that God will send Elijah before the end. So that conclusively is one of the two witnesses, leaving one to debate upon. Elijah was taken up by a whirlwind into heaven, so he didn’t die. In all of the Bible, he wasn’t the only one to never die. Enoch of Genesis also never died.

In Genesis 5, it lists the generations from Adam to Seth to on and on of the descendants of the Jews. After each person listed, it says they lived so many years and died. That is not the case with Enoch. It says in Genesis 5:24 that Enoch walked with God and he was not (in place of ‘and he died’) for God took him. It doesn’t say anywhere that Enoch is definitely the other witness, but my money is on him.

It says in Revelation that the two witnesses will be in a city known as Sodom in today’s world. The candidates are endless, since many cities could fit the bill. It could be New York, Las Vegas, Washington DC, and those are just the cities in the US. There are many cities around the world that could also fit. It says also that they will be here for 42 months. So which 42 months will it be?

The hour of temptation begins after the sounding of the seventh trump. The mystery of God will be finished. As is written in the plague of the locusts, that will be the last five months of the tribulation period. The locusts, which really are the fallen angels (my post “The Plague of the Locusts” reveals this) have power to torment men for five months. How they will torment men will be to maximize every human weakness when everyone will know that there is a God, who He is, that Jesus is the Messiah, and the Bible is really the word of God. They will make it so hard for men to make the right choice even when they know their souls are on the line. Jesus prophesied that those that look to save their lives will lose them. Those that lose them for His sake will find life everlasting. That is for the hour of temptation. Those fallen angels, known as nephilim, will not kill men. They aren’t allowed to. They will seemingly have the answers for this creation to survive the worst period of time in this age’s history.

The two witnesses will begin their time here with five months left in the first half of the tribulation, since the tribulation is divided in two. The first half is the reign of the Antichrist human being, also known as the Beast and the rider of the white horse. The second half will be the reign of Satan in his angelic flesh after the death of Antichrist. The deaths of the two witnesses will happen when there is five months left in the second half, and the overall Tribulation Period. Five months before the end of this age comes.

Before then it is impossible for them as well as the prophets of this generation to die. If any man tries to hurt the two witnesses, God commands them to have fire come out of their mouths and consume the assailant to death. Only after their time is up can they be killed. Once killed, the people of this world will celebrate their deaths. No more of the two witnesses spewing against the sins of this creation. No more hurt feelings. The prophets of this generation, known as God’s elect and the election of grace cannot die either. Seven thousand are reserved in the last generation, and seven thousand will at the same time be taken. Not one more. Not one less. When the two dead witnesses hear “come up here”, they will be taken up into heaven. In that same hour, the seven thousand reserved will also be taken and a great earthquake will come. The remnant will be frightened and will give glory to God. Why? Because the mystery of God will be gone. They will realize who the two witnesses and the seven thousand were. That will be the end of the church of Philadelphia and will begin the reign of the church of Smyrna as those aligned with God. Only the church of Philadelphia will not be here for the hour of temptation. Tsk tsk on those folly hearts that believe they get to fly away via the rapture.

THE PLAGUE OF THE LOCUSTS « ONE OF THE ELECTION OF GRACE

REVEALING THE BOOK OF REVELATION

Many people think that Revelation is the hardest set of chapters to understand in the entire Bible. Some people say that no one is allowed to understand Revelation. Apocalypse means “reveal”, so why would it be called “revelation” if you weren’t allowed understand it? Here is the most comprehensive blog I’ve written about Revelation.

Jesus speaks against five of the seven churches of Christ. One of those churches He speaks against He threatens to remove altogether. That is the church of Ephesus. How that will be done is it will cease from being a Christian church and become part of the synagogue of Satan. The only two He finds no fault in are the churches of Philadelphia and Smyrna. These churches don’t exist yet. Why I know that is the case is the church of Philadelphia will not be here during the hour of temptation. The church John referred to didn’t exist then. The church of Smyrna will be those who believe the doctrine of the church of Philadelphia to be true. They will be here for the hour of temptation, but their faith will be stronger than those of any other denomination. Remember, for those ‘educated’ ones who think John was speaking about things of his time, Jesus appeared to him and told him what would be at the end.

The church of Ephesus were given ways to test apostles to make sure if they were false to not listen to them. Jesus says they have left their first love and to do their first works. The first love of any Christian is Christ. The first work for any church is to stick to the written Word and to teach it. Next is the church of Smyrna who know those who say are Jews, but are not and found them to be liars. These are Kenites. Jesus says He knows they are not wealthy in the eyes of the world, but He considers them rich for their faith. He tells them they will be tested by Satan, which Jesus referred to in the gospels.

To the church of Pergamos, Jesus said that He knows they are faithful and are in the midst of Satan’s seat, but they have held onto the doctrine of Balaam. Balaam was a prophet who spoke to God, but yet tried to lead Israel astray as Israel was first being established. He also chastized them for believing like the Nicolaitanes (Nicolatians). The Nicolatians were a group of Christians that believed adultery and other abominations were no big deal.

To the church at Thyatira, Jesus said they have followed Jezebel, the prophetess of Ba’al by teaching fornication and to eat foods sacrificed to idols. Jesus said that He will cast them away into a bed with them who commit adultery. This adultery is believing in other gods, namely Satan, who is to come. Even their children will suffer death for their sins, which they refused to repent for. To the church of Sardis, Jesus says their works are not His. He says outside of a few among them, they are dead and defiled their garments.

To the church of Philadelphia, Jesus has nothing but praise for. He said that He has an open door for them no man can shut, because they are the elect and cannot fail. He said they have only a little strength because they are few in number. After this is all over, Jesus will have those of the synagogue of Satan come to worship at their feet, and He will be kept from the hour of temptation that will try the rest of the world. Jesus will brand them with the name of God, the new Jerusalem, and His new name after this is all over. Can’t wait.

To the church in Laodicea, Jesus says their work is neither hot or cold, but lukewarm, and would rather have them be either hot or cold. He said that they are rich in the eyes of men, but their works will not survive the trial by fire. He tells them to buy gold from Him that will stand the test of fire and white raiment. This simply means to fully adopt His ways so they will not be judged against. These are the seven churches.

The four horsemen of the Apocalypse are these: the white horse, the black horse, the red horse, and the pale horse. The rider of the white horse is the Beast. The Beast is the Antichrist human being: a human with the spirit of Satan inside him. He will go forth conquering the world peacefully coming to “save the day”. The rider of the black horse had a pair of balances in his hand. A voice was heard saying “a measure of wheat for a penny and three measures of barley for a penny; see you hurt not the oil and the wine.” This is a plague of great economic woe. A penny is what we would term as a poor working man’s daily wage, as was written in Matthew 20. What it basically says is that it would take a good portion of a working man’s daily wage to be able to buy a loaf of bread. Before thinking this is impossible, think of when the Soviet Union fell. People were lining up to pay the equivilant to $20 for a loaf of bread. Where it says “see you hurt not the oil and the wine” could really have been written anywhere in Revelation. If the price on everything goes up, then so would actual oil and wine, right? Why it’s there is so it gets you to ask “what does that mean then?” What do you do with oil besides cook with it, religiously speaking? You anoint with it. What happens to grape juice during the process of fermentation? Not only does it turn into alcohol, but the impurities come out. What it really says is “see you hurt not the anointed and the pure”. Before casting that doctrine away, consider Psalm 105:15 which says “Touch not Mine anointed, and do My prophets no harm.” Looks like an exact match to me. The rider of the red horse is really like Murphy’s Law. What can go wrong will go wrong. War, famine, pestilence will be more widespread than perhaps ever before in our age. The rider of the red horse really envelopes much of what is continued in Revelation. The rider of the pale horse is Satan himself. The Antichrist human will die in the midst of the Tribulation Period, but he will rise three days later. Satan will give him his life back. Satan will also be here right then or for the last five months. It will be Satan in his angelic flesh. Satan’s name is Death, and Hell will follow him.

The harlot is the revived Roman Empire. The Beast will come from the revived Roman Empire as is written in Daniel 2 and 7. The fourth empire to come will break up and reform. That empire was the Roman Empire. The revival of the Roman Empire will start with ten nations. The eleventh will be the one where the Antichrist will come from. If we are in the last days, the revived Roman Empire could only be the European Union. The EU’s eleventh nation was either Portugal or Spain since they came in at the same time. If the EU is this revival, then the Antichrist will come from Spain or Portugal. This is how the Beast will ride the harlot for a period of time. They will put him in power.

The first day of the great Tribulation Period will be the opposite of what most think of it to be. The tribulation will last seven years. Only for the elect will it be less. The Antichrist in Daniel 9 confirms a peace covenant with many nations that will last for seven years. That is no coincidence. The first day of the tribulation will be the day he confirms the covenant. There will be joyous celebration instead of a day of horror like most think. The human race will think they have evolved from a warmongering species and that we can solve any problem through negotiation. During the next few years, tensions will build to a fever pitch and then war will break out once again. Then Hell will be upon Earth. What I mean by “war will break out once again” is our species only comes with peace covenants after war. That’s the way we are. Peace covenants never come from a time of peace, but only from war. There will be a war involving many nations before the confirming of the peace covenant.

Much of what is written in Revelation is written somewhere in the Old Testament in the books of the prophets, especially Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and the minor prophets. For example, Revelation 18 goes directly with Jeremiah 50-51. Part of the reason why Revelation is so difficult is because it’s so concise. In the older prophetical books, the prophecies are written in greater detail and length. St. John couldn’t do that or Revelation would be one huge book. Also nothing in Revelation has happened yet. Don’t let anyone fool you otherwise. Reveal… do you reveal the past or the future? The reason why most of it is written in the past tense is because St. John was taken to the future, so to him it was the past. Not our past. When he says that he saw those things, it’s because he saw those things. The last few chapters of Revelation deal with what’s written in Ezekiel 40-48, which deals with the next age and beyond. As is written in the original Greek, when Jesus returns that ends this age. Not the world.

When Satan is kicked down to Earth, he comes with those aligned with him. The fallen angels are the plague of locusts that will have power to torment men for five months, outside those with the seal of God in their foreheads (the 144,000 Jews). Their master is Apollyon, which is another name for the Devil. Their nearly uncontentious power will last for five months. Those five months will be the last five months, and will be known as the hour of temptation. How they will torment men will be to spiritually torment men. It will be the sounding of the seventh and last trump that the mystery of God will be finished. All will know who God is. They’ll also know Jesus is the Messiah. They’ll know the Bible is genuinely God’s word. They’ll know who Satan is. Even with knowing all of that and the mystery being finished, men will still fail to a great extent. Every human weakness will be magnified by the plagues, and Satan with his fallen angels will play on those weaknesses brilliantly. Even though men will know it will be wrong, to seemingly save their lives they will lose them by failing God. That will fulfill a prophecy Jesus made that those who will seek to save their lives will lose it, and those who will lose it for His name’s sake will find life everlasting. The plague of the locusts really is about testing one’s resolve and will to hold onto what is right when it will be so difficult to do so. The stronger your faith, the easier it will be. Paul said it best when he said in Romans 8:38-39 “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,” “Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” If you hold onto that, you’ll be fine if we are in the last days. If your flight be in winter, meaning too late (a reference when birds fly south), then it’s going to be incredibly difficult. If your flight be on the sabbath day, meaning that period of time right after the covenant is confirmed when most think we have solved all of our problems, then it will be too late to fully prepare for the inevitable time afterward.

Imagine that, even knowing what to do and what not to do many men will still fail even knowing their souls are on the line. I think it says everything about men that it will take the seventh trump before the mystery of God is finished for them. Not any of the other plagues before it coming true like it is written, or the prophets doing miraculous things is good enough for them. It will take the last trump for them. And with them in mind, when it is all over the Song of Moses will be sung which in part shows how the highminded were the real fools. Only a real fool will call a faithful Christian a fool but not consider the Lord that put this creation upon the Earth. The Song of Moses is very apt for the end. Is this the true end? No, it’s not.

After this age ends, a new one will begin. If you don’t take in Jesus’ return ends this age, Revelation 20 cannot be made sense of. I’ve heard some whacky doctrine about Revelation, like it’s already happened. If it has, I’d love to see this bottomless pit. I’d like to know how late God is on His schedule since it was only supposed to last a thousand years. That’s a thousand years off so far. If you take in that Jesus’ return ends this age and begins a new one, then and only then can Revelation 20 be made sense of. Satan will be in the bottomless pit for a thousand years while Jesus returns with His saints. In the eyes of God, a saint is just a faithful Christian as is written in Ephesians 1:1. Paul addressed his epistle to the saints which are at Ephesus. If there was one saint upon Earth, then anyone who has passed with their faith intact has to be a saint since Jesus said that there is no one on Earth better than the lowest in heaven. Try to explain that away. Not only does Satan stay imprisoned in the bottomless pit and Jesus reigns on Earth for a thousand years, but the “dead” don’t live until the thousand years are up. Another thing traditional teachers can’t explain. As I pointed out earlier, much of what’s written in Revelation is written more in depth in the books of the prophets. The temple written in Ezekiel’s late chapters is not a temple made by men. What temple ever in history ever held anything that can even be termed as “the dead”? After the millennium is over, Satan tries to deceive the world once again. Those who follow him try to make war with the saints, but God stops them and ends that age. Those who follow Satan then will forever be judged against. The books are opened and judgment is given to all. The righteous are given their gifts while the damned receive their damnation. Everyone will know what the right choice will be, just as they will at the end of this age. No excuses. When you know something is right, you better do everything you can to hold onto it. Ultimately, it’s all we have you know. We came into this world with our souls and our souls only, and we will leave with our souls only. You can’t take with you money, jewelry, clothes, houses, cars, playstation 3’s, iPhones, or hdtv’s. All you will have is you and what you’ve done. For the sake of your soul, always strive to do what’s right. Even Christians will have their works tested, and that will be judged upon permanently as well. If you know something is right, then it should be worth everything to you to do it. There maybe more at stake than just your soul and well being. Others can hang in the balance.I hope you have learned something here. God bless.

There are so many questions one can ask about what is written in Revelation that it would be nearly impossible for me to get to here, so I will ask that if you have any questions about Revelation to ask me here. Hopefully I can answer them to your satisfaction.

MY THANKS TO YOU

Welcome to my site. This is a site mostly aimed at the more advanced student who have come across questions that traditional and denominational teaching either don’t have answers for, or the answers they give are so weak that you can tell they don’t even believe it themselves. I try to seek questions that many would run into and then use scripture to explain what is written while tracing things back to the original Hebrew and Greek when necessary. Many times, this indeed is a necessity. I will use and only use God’s word. I won’t invent any word of my own or some word of denominational doctrine to explain anything away. You won’t get anything here but the word of God. That is my guarantee to you.

The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew and the New originally written in Greek. The KJV is the best English translated Bible I know of, but there are many flaws still in it. When you read my posts, you will see there are some mistakes in the KJV, but not as many as the newer translations I’ve seen. Many times in the newer translations, it seems they would rather look like they’ve done work in updating the Bible than to just update it. They took words written in the KJV that were perfectly fine in the original Hebrew and Greek and then changed them for the sake of changing them which totally loses the correct meaning.

I use a Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance to understand the original words, and have used it for over a decade now. It’s the second most important book written unless you know Hebrew and Greek. It has every single word written in the KJV, everytime each words shows up, catalogues them and references them to the Hebrew and Greek dictionaries in the back for a pure word of God. No mistranslations. No preaching. No excuses. Unless you know Hebrew and Greek and have both testaments in those languages, then I highly recommend the Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance to you. Just by using this book with a KJV Bible, many questions will be answered. The Strong’s also bypasses the Latin Vulgate, which the King James is based on. This is something that is lost on too many people that the Bible wasn’t originally written in Latin. The Vulgate was the Catholic Church’s translation of the Old and New Testaments, and they did not hide their doctrine while translating them. Because of faulty doctrine, many words and even names were mistranslated. No such thing with a Strong’s.

I do not belong to any denomination and I do not go to church. I’m not against going to church, but I recommend to all to read on your own. I do fine on my own using my trusty Strong’s. All must be willing to ask questions that do come up in your mind from time to time. You all know what I mean. Even if you don’t want to think about those questions, you have them. Do not push them away. Challenge denominational, common knowledge, and traditional doctrine. Challenge yourself. There are answers out there. Not some half-witted explanations that they’re not even expecting you to buy. I mean real answers. I hope I am helping with that.

In recent months, the volume of visits has gone up significantly. For what my site is, being rather unique, I am humbled at this. I would love more questions and comments, but maybe I’m doing a good job of explaining these subjects. I hope that’s the case. Thanks to WordPress, I can see what word searches lead you to finding my site. Some really impress me quite a bit. Many come by simply being inquisitve enough to ask what is the difference between Lucifer and Satan on your searches. Some searches shows true diligence with a keen, perceptive eye for the word. Some even show me that it takes a special soul in order for them to put the certain words they have used.

All in all, I thank you for coming to my site. If I’m doing a good job, then spread it around. I always welcome questions as long as they’re asked respectfully. Even if the questions you have aren’t from anything I’ve written, I am ready to answer them. One thing good about the internet, you can ask me questions anonymously. I make sure the answers I give and the posts I write about bear my name. I’ve worked hard in understanding the word of God and I’m proud to put my name on it. Thanks for stopping by and you’re welcome to subscribe.

THE HARDEST CHAPTER IN THE BIBLE

Most people look to Revelation as being the most difficult thing in the Bible to understand. Some even say that it’s impossible for men to understand it. This is folly. Revelation comes from the Greek word Apocalypse, which means  “reveal”. To reveal something that you’re not allowed to understand? That doesn’t sound right. Revelation is indeed very difficult, but it’s not impossible to understand to a pretty good length. It is true, most are not allowed to fully understand all of it, but that goes for the entire Bible. Everyone outside of the election of grace has the spirit of slumber. When prophecies come to pass that aren’t clearly defined in Revelation, believers will point them out while nonbelievers will say the believers are twisting Revelation’s words to show proof their beliefs are right. The murkiness serves a purpose.

The hardest chapter in the Bible to understand to its entirety is without a doubt Romans 11. In order for you to fully understand it, you pretty much have to get to the end of every mystery that you are confronted with, and then read it and understand in hindsight that this one chapter revealed the secrets of just about everything. It reveals why we are here in the human flesh. It reveals how God chose His prophets. It reveals why the rest were given the spirit of slumber.

Ba’al was much more than just a pagan God in the eyes of Paul, Elijah, and God. To hold back its secrets, they didn’t reveal what he truly was. Ba’al was the deity of the planet of Venus as well. With some studying, you will see a connection to the planet of Venus with another entity.

The election of grace was chosen by God for nothing they’ve done in this life. Many foolish Christians believe once you accept Jesus, that you too are one of the elect, thus equating your decision with God’s decision. Some even believe all Christians were destined to become Christians. There are many parables Jesus gave that proves otherwise. The parables of the wedding, the ten virgins, and others shows that people who could indeed find righteousness fail to find because of the hardness of their hearts. Jesus speaking of the man who had ninety-nine sheep but lost one got that lost sheep back and was overjoyed.

How many people did Jesus speak to during His life? Many multitudes. How did He speak to them? In parables. Matthew 13:10-16 reveals the spirit of slumber. The disciples asked Jesus why does He speak to the people in parables. He said because they don’t have eyes to see or ears to hear. Isn’t that what is written later in Romans 11? Weren’t those multitudes Christians? Christians, but didn’t have it in them to have that understanding. Jesus then revealed to the disciples that they do have eyes and ears, so He was allowed to reveal the secrets of the kingdom to them.

Even with the spirit of slumber being upon nearly all, that doesn’t mean people are not allowed to understand God’s word to a good extent. That comes with diligence. One must be willing to forsake the traditional teaching of men and never be afraid to ask questions about church or common knowledge doctrine. Never get to a point where you have questions but refuse to ask them because it does your insight no good. No matter how high God has your ceiling, you can lower it by not being a diligent student of His word. Everyone is allowed to build their faith. If you show your diligence with absence of fear, God just might raise your ceiling.

Take into account Jeremiah 1:5 where God said to Jeremiah that He chose Jeremiah before any work he could have done in the human flesh. God said He knew Jeremiah before he was in the womb. No work accomplished to be chosen, but grace alone. Jeremiah was destined to become a prophet before this age even started. That was when the election of grace were chosen. Before any work. Before any were dispersed. Before any of the seven thousand would be put in the flesh. This grace was bestowed upon them for not any work they’ve done in this life, but God did not choose these people at random. There must have been something that they either did or didn’t do at some point before they were born which proved their worth. That is revealed … guess where… Romans 11.

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

Unfortunately some teach that all Christians are God’s elect. They obviously ignore Matthew chapter 7, where Jesus says some of those self-described Christians won’t make it. God’s elect doesn’t mean man’s elect. God’s elect “εκλεκτός” (ek-lek-TOHS) in Greek means God’s chosen. How can a man that chose Christ say that means that God chose him? How is a man making his election to God equal to God making His election of that man? Obviously the two aren’t congruent.

There are two types of God’s elect. There is God’s elect race, which are the Jews. Then there is the election of grace, which at least many of them aren’t Jewish. In Romans 11:7, Paul explains that Israel has not obtained that which he seeks for but the election has obtained it. Earlier on Paul explains who the real elect are. He reiterates a conversation between Elijah and God in 1st Kings clearly in the context of the election of grace. God explains He has kept seven thousand men (and women) who have not bowed their knee to Ba’al. There are different words used in 1st Kings and Romans 11 describing how God has “reserved” these people, and the most congruent meaning that ties the original Hebrew and Greek is the term “left back”. So God says that He has left back, or reserved seven thousand men in Israel. Then Paul adds on his own that there is a remnant according to the election of grace. Well, with him saying that it contends greatly traditional teaching of who the election of grace are. One has to ask themselves, how does God leave back or reserve a person? Can a person who has lived in the human flesh be called “reserved” or “left back” from God’s point of view? If God has left back a person, then that person has not lived yet.

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

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

As it is also explained in Romans 11:6, God did not choose these people for any work they’ve done in this life. Faith is a work. Showing faith is a good work. Being unfaithful is a bad work. If they didn’t bow to “Ba’al” in this life, which shows their faith, isn’t that a work? If it is a work, then they couldn’t be chosen for this work because they were chosen by grace. This should be conclusive that God chose His elect before this life. This should also prove that those that didn’t bow to “Ba’al” didn’t show their faith in this life, also meaning there is something more to the picture to Ba’al than what we’ve thought of him to be. Now there are those called by grace, but not all answer their call. Every Christian becomes one by grace, but Jesus Himself gives many examples of those who fail from the ten virgins who all know the coming of the groom, to the three servants given talents.

Further proof of this is what God told Jeremiah. God told Jeremiah that He knew him before he was in the womb. God said before Jeremiah was out of his mother’s belly He sanctified him and ordained him to be a prophet. This means that God chose Jeremiah to be His prophet without having done one thing upon Earth in the human flesh. Isn’t that what Paul explains also in Romans 11:6? That God does not choose anyone for any work they have done, or else it would not be called grace.  Not for one thing they did in this life did God choose His elect. So what did Jeremiah do to prove his worth to God? God isn’t going to create a million souls and say randomly to the next one He created “okay, you’ll be My prophet”, then create another million and repeat. Jeremiah must have proven his worth for God to choose him to be a prophet. What did he or didn’t he do? He did not bow his knee to Ba’al or anything like him before he was put in the human flesh.

How many people did Jesus speak to during His life? Many multitudes. How did He speak to them? In parables. Matthew 13:10-16 reveals corroboration of the spirit of slumber given to everyone outside the election of grace. The disciples asked Jesus why does He speak to the multitudes in parables. He said because they don’t have eyes to see or ears to hear. Isn’t that what is written later in Romans 11? Weren’t those multitudes Christians? Christians, but didn’t have it in them to have that understanding that God’s elect did. Those people had greater faith than just about anyone here on Earth now. They saw Jesus heal people. Some were even healed by Him. They heard Him speak. Whose faith on Earth now could be stronger than theirs? Still, Jesus could only speak to them in parables about the kingdom. Jesus then revealed to the disciples that they do have eyes and ears, so He was allowed to reveal the secrets of the kingdom to them. They were some of the elect dispersed throughout the age.

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

THE CHURCHES OF PHILADELPHIA AND SMYRNA

In Revelation chapters 2 and 3, Jesus speaks about the churches of Christ. In Jesus’ own words, He is very critical of five of those seven churches. The only two He finds no fault in are the churches of Philadelphia and Smyrna. The rest He speaks against. Of those He speaks against, Jesus threatens to remove one of them entirely as being a church of Christ. That is the church of Ephesus. How they will be removed from being a church of Christ is it will become part of the synagogue of Satan.

The reason why Jesus finds no fault in the churches of Philadelphia and Smyrna really are for two separate reasons. The church of Philadelphia are only the election of grace of the last generation. Only they will not be here on Earth in the hour of temptation. God’s elect will have their work to do, and when their jobs are done and the two dead witnesses hear “come up hither”, they will be gone right afterward. The church of Smyrna will teach the true word of God, as will the church of Philadelphia. The church of Smyrna will follow the lead of the church of Philadelphia and will realize those of the church of Philadelphia were sent by God. They will follow their doctrine, which is God’s true word.

When that time comes, it would be good to keep your eyes on those called the election of grace. They will seemingly insult you and your ways. They won’t play pattycake with your sinful nature. The whole world will at times hate these people for saying what they’re doing is wrong, even if it doesn’t seem so to the people of this world. Their feet will be firmly planted and their jobs will have greater responsibility than you can imagine. They are not allowed to fail God, and God will be full of anger in that day. The world will wish that they’ll be gone and will receive their wish . When they are gone, this world will ruin the day of their hatred against the church of Philadelphia.

This will be the time when the power of Satan and the fallen angels will be at their greatest. For five months they will torment men by twisting God’s word to sound appealing to the sinner to sin. The fallen and the time will tempt men to do the wrong thing when each and everyone on Earth will know it will be the wrong thing. With no counter given by the church of Philadelphia, God’s true elect, it will be extremely difficult to keep faithful when every human weakness is magnified many times over. Satan and the fallen will know every human weakness to take advantage of. They’ll feel they have no other choice but to accept him to save their lives, but as Jesus puts it, “Those who look to save their lives will lose them and those who lose them for My sake will find life everlasting.”

The church of Smyna, Jesus says in Rev. 2:10 that they will be imprisoned by Satan to be tested for ten days, but then they will offer testimony where they are to have no forethought about what they will say. Where it says they will offer testimony is in the gospels when Jesus would prophecy of Christians becoming imprisoned and even killed after their testimony.

When one church will become part of the synagogue of Satan, the churches of Philadelphia and Smyrna will have its detractors and persecutors. For those of the future church of Smyrna, stay strong and keep your faith. Look to the church of Philadelphia and you will not go wrong. When those five months come, Smyrna will grow beyond leaps and bounds. The ones who are willing to stick to their principles and what they know is right will turn to you and create one great fellowship. To the future members of the church of Philadelphia… I don’t need to say a thing about keeping your strength. You cannot fail. God bless the future churches of Philadelphia and Smyrna.

A CHRISTIAN’S ENTITLEMENT?

I have discussions with other Christians of all kinds of denominations, mostly through the internet since I do not go to church. I learn on my own using a Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance to trace back every word to the original Hebrew and Greek languages. In some discussions I get points of view that are stridently defended which I cannot ascertain how they arrive to those particular conclusions. I get it that denominations teach certain doctrines, but the students fail to ask questions that should raise infrared flags. Easy questions.

The last discussion I had was with several at a time in which they all believe that every Christian was destined to become one. They believe any Christian is God’s elect, which means God’s chosen. I asked them “is every Christian destined to become one” since this was their obvious point of view. They never decided to ask themselves this question in this particular way and would not answer me. All they will do is point out verses twisted to their point of view. They won’t answer that particular question I asked because in their heart of hearts it doesn’t sound right. These are students of the Reformed Lutheran Church I was told. Really? Every Christian was destined to become one? What about everyone else? Why are they condemned for something they cannot do?

I pointed out to them the parable of the wedding feast which Jesus said many are called, but few are chosen. The best I got was that the parable’s meaning was within its direct context. If that’s the case, then it’s not a parable at all, is it? That would mean the parable of the mustard seed is only about mustard seeds. The parable of the workers of a vineyard was confined to those workers in the field, and so on. As I explained, it is written that Christians are the bride of Christ when He returns. The parable meant that many are called to be at this wedding but few are chosen. Obviously it doesn’t say all are chosen, so that means everyone that will be there cannot be chosen to be there. If there are people at this wedding that are neither chosen or called, then that’s it. That should end that debate right there, right? Not for these people. I realize it’s hard to admit you’re wrong about certain things, especially if it’s coming from someone that you entrust to tell you the truth about God’s word, but it doesn’t get any plainer than the parable of the wedding feast that not all Christians were destined to become Christians.

If that’s not enough, then those that believe this should ask themselves some simple questions:

1. Would only Christians be able to sin? God will not condemn those who are not accountable. If they cannot become a Christian, then how can they achieve forgiveness? If they cannot achieve forgiveness, then they shouldn’t be able to sin.

2. Is every Christian a prophet? Prophets were chosen before they were put in the womb, as is written of Jeremiah. They were not chosen for anything they’ve done in this life to become prophets. If every Christian was also chosen to become one, then what sets them apart from Jeremiah or any other prophet? Another thing, why even have prophets? They would serve no purpose if those who turn to God are destined to.

3. Should you speak about your faith? There’s a difference between expressing your faith and praising God. Should speaking about your faith be for you or for others? If it’s for others, which should be your answer, then it’s pointless, right? They cannot be swayed since they aren’t allowed to. Those who can be swayed are destined to find God anyway.

4. What did they ever do to make God choose them to become Christians, but not prophets? More leftovers from question #2.

5. What is the purpose of this life? Only those who were to find grace were supposed to find it. This life then means nothing. Our souls must be much older than our flesh since God chose Jeremiah before he was in the womb. So why have this life? Someone pointed out to me that what I’m not understanding is that this is about separating the sheep from the goats, not making sheep out of goats. I find that statement amazing. I’m sorry, but that’s a garbage statement. We should not preach if the goats cannot be turned into sheep. If there will be no goats turned into sheep, then the divide already exists so again why have this life? OY!

6. Why would Jesus have to speak to people who would become Christians in parables but spoke openly to His disciples if only Christians were able to be swayed? What would be the need of a parable? If there are only those that can understand Jesus’ words when they hear it, couldn’t He just speak openly to them?

These are some very simple questions, and I’m sure there are some of you that can add questions that would be impossible to answer with any confidence by someone holding fast to that doctrine. The ONLY ones destined to become Christian are the few- the prophets. God’s true elect. God chose them. By choosing Jesus or God, you are making your election to Him, not God making His election of you. When this life is over and the next age comes, then you have a destiny because your fate is sealed. Only those who are the election of grace have a true destiny in this life. As is written of the wedding feast, the election of grace are few. There is no number, but the last generation will have seven thousand as is written in Romans 11. I will leave a link to the explanation of the reiteration of Paul of God and Elijah’s conversation and prove that those seven thousand men and women were not on Earth at that time. In order for God to reserve anyone, He would have to keep their souls until it was time for them to live. That’s how God reserves anyone. The only two that God allowed to live and reserve them are Elijah and Enoch. They never died.

People need to open their eyes a bit. I realize only the election of grace are without the spirit of slumber, but some things should be easily surpassed by easy questions. Men put on their own slumber with their sense of entitlement, ignorance, and ego. When you are unwilling ( I do not believe unable) to ask yourselves easy questions, then you have hit your ceiling. You cannot go any further, despite God having His own ceiling for you. If you hinder yourselves, you will not even come close to what God is allowing you to reach. Wake up!
