Spiritual Bread And Wine

Unfortunately, corruption (decay) is in all things upon planet Earth. Spiritually, it attacks all sides of an issue. Jesus gave a ‘secret’ - yet told in the open - like the rest of the Bible - a secret to discerning what’s true from what’s not true. It’s a daily formula, given on the eve of his execution. The bread and the wine. The “new wine” of God’s Spirit ...And our daily bread. “Man shall not live on bread alone, but by every word of God” (Mt.4:4). And they MUST go together.. Which will likely branch off into including study. It’s an awesome journey! And with time, will answer all questions about Life. It changes our understanding from a Picasso, or worse, a Salvadore dali, into a wondrous landscape! “Knowledge of the LORD will cover the Earth like the waters cover the seas.. The lion will eat straw like the ox and the bear will graze with the cow..” Habakkuk 2:14 and Isaiah 11:7. “HIS kingdom will never end” Luke 1:33. And, it’s a good day to understand prophecy, and know where the world is heading (doesn’t matter where on the timeline, it’s the same two paths the world chooses from).

Purpose

I got my spiritual socks knocked off this morning. I was reading something that mentioned “Aaron’s rod” - how it was kept in the chest/ark of the covenant (did you watch the movie with Harrison Ford? I only remembered his name at the last second there, lol) - and I couldn’t remember the story of how the rod sprouted.

I thought maybe Aaron used it in the “parting of the Red Sea” incident, but no, God told Moses to stretch his hand out.. It was night and there was a column of fire between the Israelite camp and the camp of the pursuing Egyptian army, that provided light for Israel but not for Eygypt. “And the water was a wall as they crossed through.” I thought ‘wow.. What a scene!’

And after such a richly graphic experience, how could the people forget? And turn away from such a God? But then, that’s the thing. No one can remember him or follow him, etc. without the dimension within us that He is creating, and “sealing” in place. And in a day of so many ‘gods’ and mighty myths, it was thought to be an easy thing to switch gods or to acknowledge many of them. The whole problem of course is this ability to be able to think and reason! As it includes the ability to make choices.

And he’s using this unavoidable journey/lesson (of all history, etc) to create each one of us into being a sort of little ‘trinity’ — consisting of - God Most High and his Spirit/Presence; the Son who is “forever preeminent” called “the first”/Greek proto, the prototype; and the individual, in comparison a speck! But which God calls jewels - “jewels, in the day I make up my jewels”.

God is Life itself. So really, it can’t be any other way.

It was the graphic image that knocked my socks off.. And Truth, but truth always knocks my socks off..

He “is Perfect” (Mt.5:48). Therefore what he is creating can only be the best of all possibilities.

A Christmas Message

Why does helium make your voice rise? Because it evaporates (rises) so fast. If the Earth was billions of years old there would be no helium. Also the oceans would be way more salty. And the magnetic field around the Earth would be far less.

That creation began as a Big Bang is true to a degree. An explosion into everything in place, like a clock not running. Man with his telescopes cannot see the difference between it and when the clock was wound.. The flood some believe came about because fallen angels mated with Earthly women and humanity reached that stage of “every thought” thus act(!) “was evil”. [The only ‘hell’ is the one we create.] And a flood upon the planet for a year aged things.

‘Hell’ is thermonuclear - [Rev.6:12-7:3 - ALL the effects described as a blend]; [Rev.13:13 - pointing out an office that dominates ‘last days’ after 7:1,3 is interrupted] AND [Rev.16:14,16 - three fallen angels/dark entities are gathering the kings of Earth (politicians) to (fiery) Armageddon via the “false prophet’s strong delusion, which seats man as though in the temple as god”/highest power, which caused a “falling away” from the faith. ...The ‘kings’ being gathered via atheism -> socialism -> totalitarianism (communism/Sharia, etc.) Man’s last great idol to replace God Most High will not bring “peace”. Jesus is called “first” - Greek word “proto”. He’s the prototype (and “forever preeminent”). We’re just being programmed via experience. Engineered so “all in heaven and Earth” take this unavoidable journey/lesson all together at once. The lesson that God (is not only “love” - all of it, but also) is Life. Itself. And he “is perfect” (Mt.5:48) which makes imperfect the opposite of life (and an abyss of potential).

“And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth” Eph.1:10.

A re-genesis - 2Pet.3:12-13 (also a “lake of fire”.)

“The lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow” Isaiah 11:7.

The story of “the faith” is Revelation chapter 12 - w/ Mt.23:39. Verse 17 is the gathering to Armageddon (think tares, bible students).

In Rev.22 there is narrative that is outside of the Revelation vision/scroll.

The second advent of Christ will consist of two ages, the “millennium” of a thousand years, and “the judgment” of 500 years (the pattern/outline is in the pattern of the ancient Hebrew Autumn holy days - Lev.23) - Matthew 25:46 - “these (the not yet saved/begun the prototype process, before their death) will rise into aionian-kolasis *AGE*LASTING-CORRECTION” (age 2, translated, everlasting punishment, oye) “but the righteous” (in this life being prototyped through grace, will rise) “into aionian life” (into “the thousand years”/millennium age).

Was I A Grinch - Christmas And Easter

I always told our kids that Santa was a game we played. Just sort of mentioned it. That’s because I didn’t want the story of Christ to be in the same category as Santa - tho, in all honesty, I very much see Santa as a big part of the character of the heavenly Father.

Over time both Christmas and Easter have gotten more and more covered over by, not only the materialistic, but those fun things like Santa and the Easter bunny, and eggs and all that.

Then came the icksnay on saying “merry Christmas”. Add to that a growing percentage of Christians deciding the days are heathen and therefor are forbidden. Sigh.. there go the annual reminders to those of us who haven’t yet learned it experientially.. that God who is Love sent - this is the Christmas aspect - to us the remedy to death - the Easter message.

Ever since that message began, there’s been the furious trend to bury it. [And to misrepresent it, which went mainstream, sigh again.] That’s a sure way to know how true it is! Anything purposely buried has to be a nugget we’re not supposed to know about!

I’m in no hurry to throw the days out. I’m more in favor of resurrecting them as a solid part of the culture. Even without understanding the truest import, they’re for good cheer.. Expressing fondness for our whole human family. That of course is the message of the saga of Scrooge. Just what is it that can make Christmas merry? We all know it’s the spirit of “good will”. Any reminder of that is (surely?) worth preserving.

What We Are Learning And How And Why

Everyone has their own journey and unique things to learn. But there’s one thing all are learning. The word “all” in bible verses, is translated from the Greek word “pas”. And its literal meaning is “every, all, the whole”.

There’s “a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ” Eph.1:10.

When all is said and done, it will come to pass that no matter how many visible options of straying and imperfection (or trees “of knowing both good and evil”) may be in the garden of life, no one will be interested. You know why? Because of being thoroughly convinced, and knowing, that God is Life itself. And since he “is perfect” (Mt.5:48) why that means imperfect is the opposite of life. And it’s all it can ever be.

Now, before you say “well why didn’t God just tell us that?” He told the first parents, “if you eat from that tree, you will die”. He even added “surely”.

“You will surely die.” As a matter of fact, history is totally proving that imperfection (life not in union with God) is a bottomless pit of possibilities. It can only ever result in trouble (translated tribulation), ruin (apocalypse, both individual and collective), and ultimately death (not existing).

The issue (or paradox?) being - how do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact? For sooner or later it’s realized one also has the ability to make choices.

I guess you put that visible option of imperfection in the original garden. You engineer it so “all in heaven and earth” take this (unavoidable) journey all together at once. And you let it run its course, interfering only to build in the remedy (rescue) and also to curb humanity’s early self destruction (via descent too deep into the abyss of imperfect possibilities).

Consider this, if he intervened for one.. he should intervene for all, and then what would be the point!? And since he iS life, he lives through everything. Every war, every murder, every single horrible thing that ever occurs.. to you, to me, to everyone.

So how will this whole thing be wrapped up? The Biblical prophecy theories are endless. Maybe Youtube will tell us! Lol.

     [Read the rest at your own risk!]

For a long time I’ve figured we’re at Rev.7:1,3. In the vision, the winds just released, when Seal 6 was broken off the scroll - of the Revelation vision - those winds are now being held back by “four angels at the four ‘corners’ of Earth”.

But you see, the Seals, and many other things prophecied, are described, when they first come upon the scene, as their FULL effects - first to last. I strongly believe the first Seal 6 occurrence was in 1945 (remember Fat Man and Little Boy?)

But it’s described as a blend of its first effects, with also its last effects (upon poor mother Earth).

Another unperceived thing is the same event was (surely?) Rev.13:13 (yes notice those numbers!) But it doesn’t pinpoint a specific person as everyone believes, but an office!

As of late, I think we have after all, moved along a little, to include Rev.8:1-5, along with, still, 7:1-3. A shaking up? Perhaps a harbinger occurred?

Coming along also (sooner or later) an interruption of the holding back of the four winds. A crises to be sure! And what will follow is the two of Revelation chapter 13 will ‘step up’. And before long a prophesied seven year “treaty and league with the many”.

Which brings us to the writings of the prophet Daniel (namely 9:27). And later, at Daniel 12:11-12, we are told that about in the middle of the seven years, the treaty will be broken with Israel. I think by the taking away or demolishing of the Western Wall, Israel’s current “holy place” where prayers, etc. are offered daily and continuously (Mark 13:1-2). But whatever it turns out to be, it provides a count down, because “1,290 days later” or about 3.5 years plus 30 days later, will be “set up” what’s called a final “desolating abomination” which I believe is the notorious 666 (upon human beings, which humans are meant to be vessels or “temples” of “the living God” who “is love” / all of it, all love everywhere). So what’s the next verse say? “Happy the one who waits, and comes to day 1,335.”

Now if that’s not saying happy is the one who comes to 45 days later, I will be very surprised. I think the last “ten days” is when it escalates from “cannot buy or sell without it” to “will be killed” - Rev.3:10; 13:17; and 20:4.

I could write much more, and a lot more in support of my theory, but you may be tired of reading already! There are one or two more things I will try to point out at another time. (Or maybe I already have, as I do keep saying the same things over and over. In the hopes someone will understand and be benefitted/avoid some trouble.)

“The bear will graze with the cow and the lion will eat straw like the ox” Isaiah 11:7. “The River of Life will flow to all parts of the world” Rev.21.

If or when reading Revelation chapters (surely?) lake of fire is earthly prophecy. Considering also that Jude (1:)7 pretty clearly says it is not a ‘place’ but event(s).

Also, chapter 22 has narrative that is outside of the vision.. like a summary or moral of the story at the end of a movie.

The Good News For All

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.. And all was very good" [Gen 1:1, 27 and 31]. ("And will He not give the Spirit to them that ask Him?" Luke 11:13) ...God's rescue from the outcome of "missing the mark" translated sin "was finished from the foundation/creation of the world" [Heb 4:3]. "My word that goes out from my mouth will accomplish all I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it" [Is 55:11]. Perfect, makes no mistakes. Can lose nothing. Ultimately all will repent.. there may even "be weeping and gnashing of teeth" in "outer darkness" but - "In Christ all will be made alive! Each in his own order - those who are Christ’s at His coming, then the end when Christ hands the kingdom over to God the Father.. that He may be all in all" [1 Cor 15:22-28].

His Comfort

So there Jesus was.. He was being marched to His crucifixion. Women were weeping.. He took time to comfort them! And also used it to prophecy/warn. And when He was on the cross.. more comfort, when He said “I tell you today.. YOU shall be with me in paradise” Lk.23:26-43.

Diablo Ruling

 “The great dragon was thrown-down - the ancient serpent, the one being called the devil (greek diablo/accuser) and Satan/opposer, the one deceiving the whole world - he was thrown-down to the earth. And his angels were thrown-down with him.

     And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying — Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of Messiah has come, because the accuser of our brothers/sisters was thrown down, the one accusing them before our God by day and by night.” - Rev.12:9-10.

      So why is diablo/the devil still allowed to raise havoc upon Earth??

     In Eden God included a visible option of straying/imperfection - which was a true possibility once He endowed thinking and reasoning ability. And I guess why do that if you don’t let it run its course!

     Obviously He is creating beings “of heaven and earth” - where “He will TABERNACLE with mankind upon Earth made anew” (i.e. Re-Genesis, Rev.21:1-5; 2Pet.3:12-13; Eph.1:10; Col.1:20). But! The whole has to understand good from evil, which is also blessing from curse, or that is, blessing from a virtual abyss of possibilities. And which is also Life from death, because God Most High iS Life, and “is perfect” (Mt.5:48) so straying/imperfection can only ever result in trouble (tribulation), ruin (apocalypse, both individual and collective) and death (not being). So straying/imperfection is really only utterly futile, and this sometimes sad, and even perilous, journey/lesson is unavoidable.

     And, there’s this - because God is Life, He lives through, and experiences, all sufferings and sorrows that ever occur. Along with every battle of every war.. every horror ..every murder.. every affront. Why would He put Himself through all that!? So we (angel and man/woman) can have genuine thinking, reasoning, pondering and dreaming ability..?

Is Lake of Fire Literal or Symbol

 It’s both! We know He is a consuming/purifying fire. (LOF as symbol of that spiritual, yet literal, truth.)

     Soberly looking at WHERE in Revelation lake of fire is mentioned - and Jude 7 saying it is NOT a place:

     #1 mention, is at fiery armageddon during which the Lord returns (aka, manmade, therefor is earthly prophecy like the rest of the book). #2 mention is at the final defeat of the adversary, beFore the resurrection of all not yet saved before their death. And #3 mention is at the “all made new” event when “the elements melt with furious, consuming heat and there is a new heavens and Earth where rightness will dwell” God now being “all in all” and “will TABERNACLE with mankind upon Earth”.

     “The bear will graze with the cow, the lion will eat straw like the ox” (Is.11:7).

     And note this! Yhvh/God Most High has given us the outline of the Son’s long second advent. TRUMPETS (sound) then 10days/1000yrs (yes? see the calendar of Lev.23). Followed by DAY oF ATONEMENT (DOA for the - initially - doa) consisting of 500yrs (represented by 5days, Lev.23).

     And then! “God will now TABERNACLE with mankind upon Earth made anew” (after the re-genesis). Any not by then experiencing the 3 R’s (repentance, reconciliation, renewal) will experience it during that “all made new” event (called the 2nd death?) when “the elements will melt in furious heat” (lake of fire made for dragon&co).

     Lev.23; [[2Pet.3:12-13-#3 lake of fire - 2Pet.3:10 being #1 lake of fire (the two being like bookends outlining the long 2nd advent)]]

    Rev.20 & 21:1-5; 1Cor.15:(22-)28; Jude7, see Is.24:20! Is.11:7see Mic.4:3-4

     The Lord said “all those in the tombs” (graves) “will hear His voice and will come forth ..some in the resurrection of life, and some in the resurrection of judgment” (Jn.5:28-29). Which is “after the thousand years” (Rev.20:5).

     And he said, Matthew 25:46 - “these will rise into aionian-kolasis *AGE*LasTing-CORRECTION” (translated, everlasting punishment) “but the righteous into aionian life” (the millennium, called THE age).

THE PROTOTYPE

 James 4:1 totally sums up the state of humanity. It says, “why do you fight and argue with each other? Isn’t it because of selfishness?” (That’s from the Bible, a modern translation.)

So what if selfishness could be overcome? And each one instead puts the other first. The key of course is truly doing it. Lol. Can it be done? It’s a lot easier with a certain seed in us - one totally misunderstood. It starts out tiny, but if watered and fertilized it will grow into the biggest and most beautiful tree (or flower) in the garden of our soul. All those ideals and truly wonderful aspirations we have, actually can be reached, and so much easier. Is it a magic pill?

Yes it is! But there may be a few weeds, during the process, that need to be pulled up.

But think about it, how could there be a universe of peace, justice and joy, if the energy is flowing backward? Toward self. Isn’t it eventually a vacuum? Just suppose if life isn’t an accident (and anomaly) after all.

What’s the first thing that has to be done in order for all that exist to be happy, free and locked into all energy flowing outward as genuine love and affection? No speck of selfishness or imperfection anywhere.

Don’t think it can be done? Maybe that’s why this learning process is so full of hard knocks. You really think we’d be convinced any other way?

The Son of God is called "First" - Greek word "Proto" - He is "the seed" by which one is "born again".

Stranger Than Fiction

History Outline/Sketch From A Biblical Perspective

Cain slew Abel (A sort of king slew priest spirit? Early ruling partnerships were king/priest). This early act seems to portray the - political - history of nations,  as a constant competition for dominance. History of the peoples may be a completely different story, and likely is.

About 2000 years of ‘prehistory’.

Then man built the first tower, Babel Tower in Mesopotamia, land of red clay, in order to reach to the stars. “Nothing will be beyond them” God said.. reaching a culmination so early on? So he confused the languages and humanity spread to the Nile Valley, the Danube River Valley, the Indus Valley of India, called “fertile crescents” (along with Mesopotamia) and eventually over all the Earth.

Almost 2000 years later is when the Great Pyramids of Egypt were built, and beginning portions of the Great Wall of China. The Indus Valley Civilization was flourishing, as was the Norte Chico civilization in Peru, oldest civilization of the Americas.

It wasn’t for another 500 years or so that God called Abraham - later grandfather of the twelve tribes of Israel - out of Babylon. This was around the time of Stonehenge.

The twelve tribes became slaves in Egypt for four hundred years. Then was “the Exodus” via the parting of the Red Sea and Israel moved into Canaan. But instead of thoroughly delivering the lands from the barbaric practice of child and infant sacrifice to Baal-Molech (by burning alive) eventually Israel fell under its sway. Even after building a rather elaborate tent, and then a temple for Yahweh (Most High God). 

Iron is first forged in the Nok Culture in what is today Nigeria.

The First King of Israel - 1,000 BCE. Israel requested a king, but Yhwh (Yahweh) had tried to discourage it “do as they ask” he said, “but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign-over them will claim as his rights." (1 Samuel 8:9)

Assyria and Babylon destroyed Jerusalem and carried many of the people first off to Assyria, then off to Babylon. This included the Prophet Daniel, who prophesied of Alexander the Great (Dan.8:8) among others. This was about the time of the travels and teachings of “the Buddha” in India, and Confucius in China.

But after seventy years, the temple was rebuilt, while to the west, Greece and Athens were having a golden age.

Socrates, Plato, Aristotle.. (A famous student of Aristotle was Alexander the great.)

Rome grew dominant but the language commonly spoken, and the culture, was Greek.

221 BCE, Imperial China begins. By 212 (BCE) the walls of China join, forming the Great Wall as a defense against the fierce Mongols to the north.

The Arab trade routes and the “Silk Road” from China bring spice, incense and other luxuries to the west.

Hail Augustus Caesar, nephew and adopted son of Julius Caesar, and the first Roman emperor. Rome, from a republic, is now an empire. (27 BC )

Jesus is born 6 BC to 1 AD and is crucified 27-33 AD, and says “if he is lifted up” (executed on a Roman cross) “he will draw all” (Jn.12:32).

Christian martyrdom begins, the gospel accounts of Jesus’ life are written, Paul, pursuer, jailer and even killer of Christians, turns believer and writes most of the rest of the New Testament as letters written to groups of early believers he had a large role in establishing. And John, only disciple not executed, receives “from Jesus” the Book of Revelation vision which shows main elements that progress through the latter age (the year’s of our Lord, AD/CE).

     In a dramatic scene Jesus unrolls the Revelation scroll which is sealed with seven seals (presumedly wax seals). As he breaks each seal off the scroll, and unfurls it, at the first four breakings, out come riding one of what is called the four horsemen of the apocalypse. So called because their rides, becoming gallops(?) continue growing and progressing until ‘the end’. They are (1) a rider on a white horse, riding forth conquering. This is the gospel, the “good news for all”. (Most eschatology belief sort of places this rider last, according to history that is. The Seals, so called, do escalate or become magnified towards the conclusion.) Next (2) is a red horse and rider, wars. Man’s unwanted but persistent companion. Then (3) a black horse.. inequity and shortages a product of wars, along with (4) a pale rider and horse, pandemics, pestilences, plagues, including chemical as with WW2, for after this rider “follows the grave”. Including the mass grave.

He breaks open the fifth seal and we see symbolized martyrdom continuing through the age, and next the breaking open of the sixth seal shows something HUGE occurring.. Or perhaps it especially seems that way because the seal events are described - here at the beginning of the vision - as their FULL effects from their first to their last. War “was given a very long, or great sword” Rev.6:12-17; 13:13 (6:4).

“After this” John says, “I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth holding back its four winds so that no wind would blow, harming land, or sea, or any tree” Rev.7:1 and 3. It seems obvious, interruption of this holding back of 7:1 will see world events escalate towards the culmination (of mankind’s choices and doings, and of this unavoidable learning of good from evil, which is also life from death, true from not true). John dies an old man full of years.

Golden age of the Han Dynasty in China - 206 B.C. to 220 A.D.

In 313, Roman Emperor Constantine declares the empire ‘Christian’ and the “bishop of Rome” in retrospect, is first called pope. (Sort of a new king-priest line to rule the lands.)

The Roman Empire, at its borders, fought with European northern barbaric (so called uncivilized) tribes like the Saxons, Goths (Visigoths and Ostrogoths), Franks, Vandals, Huns, for many years until Rome itself was sacked, bringing about what has been called the dark ages (and was the early Middle Ages, early European medieval times) from 476 to about 800 (or 1000 according to other reckoning).

Plague of Justinian killed up to 10,000 people a day, 561 CE.

622, Muhammad (the more accurate spelling) begins the first Islamic state.. and the Muslim conquest from the Nile Valley to the fertile crescent in the Middle East.

The Arab slave trade of East African people around the Indian Ocean and the Sahara began.

Meanwhile, through the age there are so many wars we can barely count them. Universities and Cathedrals are built, as well as London Bridge and Tower of London.

The first inquisition (by ‘authorities’ not the people) was set up in 1184 and inquisitions continued for about 700 years. But burning ‘heretics’ at the stake began earlier (yesteryear’s Rev.13:13?)

In 1299 the Ottoman Empire was founded, a caliphate that controlled a lot of Southeast Europe, West Asia, and North Africa up to 1923.

Wars continue, the Magna Charter, of (some) individual rights vs. the King and rulers, was written in 1215. The Renaissance began around 1300. Ming Dynasty, China..

The Bubonic Plague or Black Death, deadliest pandemic recorded in history, resulted in the deaths of up to 75–200 million people in Eurasia and North Africa, from 1346 to 1353.

The printing press was invented in 1440, and the industrial revolution began in 1760, forty years after a portion of Christianity, “with wings like eagles” sailed to “the new world” and grew to overpower three (European) nations laying claim to that world (Rev.12:14; Dan.7:8). Meant to live in peace with, and learn from the indigenous peoples, and they in turn learn from them? Well. It certainly could have been a potential ..and maybe was for a year or two. Until “government” was big on the scene. (Is it any wonder biblical prophecy calls human governings, beasts? The prophesied last one being global, and man’s last great idol to replace God Most High.)

An age of European colonialism - of the exploration and conquest of many lands - began about 1500. This followed the discovery of a sea route around Africa's southern peninsula in 1488, and the discovery of America in 1492.

1519 sees the beginning of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, also known as the Conquest of Mexico. It was a main event in the Spanish colonization of the Americas.

The Portuguese, in 1526, completed the first transatlantic slave voyage (to Brazil) and other European nations soon followed suit. South America (especially Brazil) became the home of millions of African South Americans.

Napolean rose to power during the french revolution and declared himself emperor in 1804, and in 1806 brought about the fall of the Holy Roman Empire.

In 1848 Marx (and Engels) published “The Communist Manifesto”. In 1859 Charles Darwin published His theory in his book “On The Origins Of Species”. [These two becoming the modern king and ‘priest’ (rule) of ‘last days’?]

Imperialism, alliances of nations, and the independence dispute of Serbian nations situated between Ottoman expansion (gone into decline) and western interests, all mixed to become WW1. ..Which began with a terrorist act, and resulted in huge losses of life (1914-1918).

In 1917 Lenin transformed the failing Russian Empire into “the Soviet State”, called the Soviet Union.. From a monarchy to a Socialist state. (Famous Lenin quotes: The goal of socialism is communism; Fascism is capitalism in decay; Sometimes history needs a push; A lie told often enough becomes the truth; Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.)

The Spanish flu, also known as the 1918 flu pandemic, and H1N1 influenza A, was an unusually deadly pandemic from February 1918 to April 1920, and infected 500 million people (about a third of the world's population at the time) and caused 50 million deaths.

1918, Hitler joined the German Workers Party, rose to power by playing on and stirring up the frustrations of post war Germans. He is voted Chancellor of Germany in 1933.

Oil was discovered and drilled in the U.S. then in the Middle East and elsewhere. Certain technological advances occurred, and soon oil became the preferred energy source for electric lighting and the automobile. By 1919, oil was powering ships, trucks, tanks, and military planes in WW2, and by now was a great geopolitical prize, which has resulted in opposing alliances concerning the world’s oil reserves and its marketing.

Five million people died of starvation in the Soviet Union, under “Father Stalin” between 1931 and 1934. About a hundred thousand more died in his “great purge” 1936-1938.

WW2 was fought from September 1, 1939 to September 2, 1945, causing 70 to 85 million deaths, including 11 million during “the holocaust” from 1941 to 1945. It saw the hugely impacting development of thermonuclear weaponry when the U.S. detonated two nuclear weapons over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, in August of 1945 (with the consent of the United Kingdom, as required by “the Quebec Agreement”).

In October of 1945 the United Nations was formed, sort of a rebirth of the League of Nations which hadn’t lasted long. And because a number of countries in Europe and Asia adopted communist governments in the late 1940s, the “cold war” meant to prevent communist expansion began.

Mahatma Gandhi was leader of India’s non-violent independence movement against British colonial rule, via peaceful forms of civil disobedience and organized boycotts. He inspired others like Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela, and still influences the world today. He was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic, who disapproved of his tolerance toward Muslims, in 1948.

China became a communist state in 1949, Vietnam in 1945 - U.S. President Truman had said “we’ll help any country battle communism” known as the Truman Doctrine - Cuba, became a communist state in 1959, and Lao in 1975.

     The theory of Socialism is the state, on behalf of the people, controls production. In Communism the state controls both production and consumption [distribution? sharing..] and private property is not allowed.

Why are we allowed to do all this? Confucius say, “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand” ...?

     [Note: the whole matter being(?) Just HOW do you have genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact?]

Bible Prophecy In Plain English

A duplicate post on each of my blogs.

Presently, I think we are still in the pause of seal 6 (of thermonuclear as warfare – Rev.7:1-2, but the seals are told as to their total effects, including at the ‘end’ which veils the vision I think).

So when that pause is interrupted – though I think at first limitedly – is when things start to escalate.. Today’s world beast/body will ‘step up’ as will the office which carried out 13:13.. same seal 6 first event, which pinpoints an office prominant in last days and who gives breath (authority) to the world beast (that has iron/bronze – roman/greek roots, see Dan.7:7,19 w/ Rev.13:1 & Dan.2:31-45) but will be either infiltrated by or in partnership with the wild beast who does Rev.20:4). This world beast will make or ratify a 7 year agreement/treaty/covenant/league which they will break with Israel in the middle of it by either stopping sacrifices at a 3rd temple or (I believe) by removing or taking away the Western (Wailing) Wall where sacrifices of prayers are offered daily (completing Mt.24:1-2 “see all this?”). And 3.5 years plus 30 days later is when shall be set up the final abomination that desolates(?) This time upon the human temple made for God? Perhaps with behavior modification? And tracking.. Maybe lauded as a step up in ‘evolution’? Or.. who knows? A vaccine you cannot buy or sell without. “But – blessed – are those who wait and come to 45 days later”. With the last “ten days” escalating to will be killed..? (Dan.12:11-12; Rev.2:10)

Another Rev. character is today’s false prophet who has a widely believed false prophecy and many modern miracles and wonders. ‘He’ also has a “strong delusion” which “seats man in the temple of God, convincing himself he is god”/highest power deciding good and evil. A strong (but ridiculous, lol) delusion which has caused cultural “falling away” from the faith. He enabled 13:13 and will give the beast 666.

Rev.12:16 suggests drought, and out of the smoke of it, plus war, shall come widespread marshall law for five months? (Rev.9:3,9) The sun will give less light (through the smoke) and the moon will reflect red. Then will be seen the Son of man coming on the clouds with great glory and He will send His angels to gather His believers from all directions of the Earth. (Mt.24:29-31)

“He comes in fire with His angels” 2Thess.1:7-8, and “gathers His wheat into His barn” just barely after the tares have gathered to armageddon in Gehenna Valley.. with enough chain reaction to make the “Earth shake to and fro?” and “oil to flow high as horse’s bridles..?” (Isaiah 24:20; Mt.13:30; Rev.14; and 16:14,15,16!)
