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.
