08/17 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

18 - Little children, let’s not just love in word and talk, but in actions and in truth. {Genuinely, not just talk a good talk, but sincere affection for our fellow person. To examine our heart and thoughts by this measure/rod. Both the adversary/accuser and our own carnality is like an unseen slithering serpent. Guard our heart, and exercise discernment.}

     19 For it is by this we’ll know we’re of the truth {and in “the Way”} and will reassure our heart before him. 20 For when our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows all. 21 And beloved, if our heart doesn’t condemn us, we have confidence before him. 22 And whatever we ask of him, we receive, because we keep his commands/instructions and do what pleases him.

     {Our New Testament/Covenant/Contract w/ God instructions. And the well being and society preserving “ten commandments”/instructions we keep through God’s HoLy Spirit/Presence with us.. and through Jesus. Our “faith is reckoned as righteousness” and innocence and pardon, all debt paid by “Christ Crucified”. God’s Spirit in and with us will cause us to keep the ten, better than the Pharisees, etc. Foods and days/Sabbaths (especially for non-hebrew believers) are according to ones “own” conscience and mind [Ro.14:5] as Jesus iS the Sabbath, which the day is the “type and shadow” of. Then we “follow” the New Testament instructions to “abide in him” and to “abide in the scripture” - abide in the personified logos, and abide in the written logos/reasoning, as “all scripture is for training” 2Tim.3:16.

     Training for what? Eternity. But also for serving, called reigning, during Jesus’ long second advent? Consisting of “the millennium” - upon Earth, a Sabbath millennium rest from enmity, war, division, evil. And there are mortal survivors of the apocalypse - which was fully done by man - serving also during the release of the adversary&co, and the gathering they do, once again to an ‘armageddon’ “against God’s camp” - the earth again under sway of division.. accusations.. hatred. But then the fiery flash defeat and a second mention of a lake of fire. First is at the armageddon battle that concludes this straying/imperfection/entropy which began in Eden - for no option to stray would be humanity as an ant farm? And the final mention of a lake of fire is after GWT Judgment ‘day’ has concluded - surely a ‘day’ of full closure for all and concerning all history and the traumas of it. This (GWT ‘day’) of course, during the second half of the “8th day”/millennium, the “last great day” - Lev.23:36, Jn.7:37. (And Mt.25:1-13 - the door to). Called reigning, for to do His works is to reign? “Crown of LiFe” ..not like the world with metal crowns. Kingdom vs. empire.}

   (In the Order Believed Written)

14 - For people who talk like that make it clear they are seeking a homeland. 15 If they had been thinking of the land from which they had come out of, they would have looked for the opportunity to go back. 16 But as it is, they want a better country! That is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city. {An enduring kingdom. Enduring because Perfect, because God iS Life and “is Perfect” - first, foremost, and sole prime reality and law which is like unbreakable iron.. the iron rod/measuring rod by which Christ will rule the nations. Ultimately unbreakable. God is a “consuming fire” of purity and light. Purity consumes impurity and Light consumes darkness. Life consumes death, a good trade.}

     05/05 - GospeL Verses

34 - (Jesus continues) “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you fed me. I was thirsty and you refreshed me with drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me. 36 I was unclothed and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited [episkeptomai - visited, looked after, cared for] me, I was in prison and you came to me.’

     37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and fed you, or thirsty and gave you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and make you welcome, or unclothed and clothed you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit and care for you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least, you did it to me.’

     41 Then he will say to those on the left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the aionion (pertaining to an age) fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, unclothed and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me and care for me.’ 44 Then they will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or unclothed or sick or in prison, and didn’t minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer, ‘Truly, I tell you, as you didn’t do for one of the least of these, you didn’t do for me.’” {As we treat all others is how we treat him?} 46 “And these will go away into aionion/eonian correction, but the righteous into enduring life.” (Jn.5:28-29, Mt.25:46, and Rev.20, but which chapter is told like describing the crests of waves and not much of the in between.)

𝑅𝐸𝒱𝐸𝐿𝒜𝒯𝐼𝒪𝒩/𝒜𝒫𝒪𝒞𝒜𝐿𝒴𝒫𝒮𝐸 5:7-14

 The two main divisions of the Book of Revelation is the heavenly scene, a sort of intro, and then there’s the vision. Like watching a movie. The paradox being, the heavenly scene is a vision also. So the Revelation vision is a vision in a vision ..now tell me God doesn’t like a good riddle..                     

    5:7 The Lamb went over and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sat on the throne. 8 And when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of fragrant incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. 9 And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. 10 And you have caused them to become a Kingdom of priests for our God. (Priests implies others besides the priests/saved during this brief lifetime.) And they will reign on the earth.” (I can’t think reigning means lording it over others?! I’m convinced it means during the Lord’s long second advent, he will do the same works he did during his first. With helpers, serving, called reigning, for to do the works the Lord does, is surely[?] reigning. I am of course waiting upon this to be confirmed.. but it iS a confirmation - that the Kingdom progresses like peaceful widening ripples in a pond. ..As does prophecy also progress, but not as peacefully, it being cause and effect, what some might consider or call ‘karma’. Is it the same?🤷🏼‍♀️ Obadiah 16, I think it is, says “their own works will fall on their own heads”. And of course “as one sows so shall they reap”.)

     11 Then I [John] looked again, and I heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand around the throne and the living beings and the elders, 12 saying in a loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb having been slain, to receive the power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!" 13 And I heard all the creatures in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all (this all must be the people) that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might for the ages of the ages!” 14 And the four living creatures answered “Amen”. And the elders fell down and worshipped He who lives forever and ever.

THE REVELATION CAST 

      oF CHARACTERS:

Beguiling $ity Babylon, started at Tower Babel. “Sits on 7 hills” (continents, i.e. is global). Her forehead/psyche, Mystery Babble - all confusion is “responsible for all slain upon Earth” (that would be since Cain slew Abel).

An entity called “False Prophet” who’s “strong delusion” of “seating man [anthropos] as in the temple as god”/highest power. - This caused a “falling away” of what was once called Christendom. This “false prophet” has many modern “miracles” and wonders up his sleeve, including a coming triple 6. And he’s ENABLED some tricky events. And of course ‘he’/it has a false prophecy it is putting forth.

A many headed geopolitical beast (institution that goes beastly). It was, then wasn’t, then was again. (Yesteryear’s fulfillment was the empires of Rome.) This beast rises from the sea of humanity.

A smaller beast from the earth (dust thou art) - a two horned office of man, which carried out the 13:13 fiery - “fire upon earth from the sky” event “in the sight of mankind” - notorious numbers 13:13, and is way more obvious than anybody(?) seems to notice (hello?) And this is the office which produces/becomes the notorious one called antiChrist..

EVENTS LIST:

Is The Day oF the Lord Soon 0r Swift - Greek word, táxos is translated in Rev/Apoc as ‘soon’ but means - swiftly, quickly.. Also in chapter one, Jesus said to hear, because the time was near.. Which is very accurate, as the whole vision begins when the ride of the white horse rider begins.. At the gospel’s going forth conquering and to conquer, and was openly victorious over powers and principalities.✝️

The vision is portrayed three times, each a different angle (like curtains swept open).

• 6:1-2 to 11:19
• ch.12, vs.17 w/ mt.23:39
• 13:1 to 19:11

All within the ride of the rider on a white horse - 6:1,2 &/-> 19:11.

These First Six Events/Elements Progress Throughout The Entire Age - Like horsemen continuing their ride.. to a canter.. then a gallop.. stirring up the dust as they go.

1 - The gospel rides forth but brings a sWord not peace.. Openly triumphing over powers and principalities.

2 - Wars, mankind’s always unwanted companion.. (This is later “given a great and long sword”/weapon.)

3 - Scales (as always) unbalance. And as progresses, greatly so.

4 - Pale horse of pestilences including manmade which death and the grave (mass) follows after.

5 - Political, religious executions, the blood of which cries out to God like the blood of Abel did.

6 - The long sword is first unleashed - same 13:13 event. But when described at its intro in chapter six, the entire effects, start to “end”  are portrayed. So as to what it is, it is veiled “for many days”. Very much hidden in plain sight.

The many headed geopolitical beast comes to hold rule over the nations for 3.5 years. It blasphemes God, and persecutes many (more).

Loud, locust like (swarm? hover?) which sting from their head and tail, torment mankind for five months. (Sounds widespread.)

Lion like, which shoot smoke and brimstone (tanks?) gather for war.

Armageddon battle (Mt.13:30) final full blown long and great sword event(s). Earth shakes to and fro, Isaiah 24:20. Christ returns, all believers rise from the graves/tombs, his long second advent begins.

A thousand years later, Satan&Co. released from the abyss - war once again occurs.. Fire from heaven consumes them. The resurrection of the rest of all humanity beginning judgment ‘day’. All this surely not flash in the pan, one and done events! But the last two driving home of the cannot stray lesson.

God declares “behold I make all new” (translators added “things” to the word “all” - Greek “pas”). There is a (fiery) universal ReGenesis. “All new” meaning in Rev.22, there is narrative that is outside-of the vision, and logically,  portrays initial conditions for some on the last great day called judgment and kolasis/correction, as does the parable of the rich man and Lazarus.

      “Behold I make all new. The tabernacle of God is with man [anthrpos] and He will Tabernacle with them..” (21:3,5). “The lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow, and their young will pasture together” Isaiah 11:7.

   “𝓞𝓯 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓲𝓷𝓬𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓼𝓮 𝓸𝓯 𝓹𝓮𝓪𝓬𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮 𝔀𝓲𝓵𝓵 𝓫𝓮 𝓷𝓸 𝓮𝓷𝓭..”

                                 𝓘𝓼𝓪𝓲𝓪𝓱 9:7.

Be Not Fooled!

 The latest I feel God’s Spirit (which is His Presence with us) (imo) has taught me is how his program (his kingdom) progresses like widening ripples in a pond. I’m very excited about that! All correction being the same for all! What Jesus did during His first advent, he’ll do during his second! ..And with helpers! Serving, called reigning. Because(!) to do his works, surely is to reign. I also feel a loud call of ELIJAH! For some reason I had to capitalize that. Revelation 7, verses 9 and 4, in that order! A call to Get In Line. lol, forgive me my enthusiasm. I know we are all feeling it. The joy! Great buckets of Joy. And with it is his guiding Spirit.. But also there’s so many loud voices trying to distract, pull away.. Especially from understanding God’s (glorious) word.. He hides in plain sight and hides Truth in plain sight.. It’s a Quest.. there’s riddles! Locks, armor.. And keys!

   Reading my daily studies.. a great crash course to get one started.

   Aldo amazing of course is prophecy. Especially these days, the book of Revelation. It all goes together! So I get to weave it together in the studies. I cannot over emphasize how glorious.. what a work of genius the bible, God’s writings to us, is. But oh the attacks! The old ETC getting in via bAd translation of SOME words.. some running with verses.. Choosing the rowdiest possible interpretations.. Right up to modern warfare against it. But in this SPIRITUAL war, it’s our sWord, helmet, boots, armor and shield! WITH God’s Spirit. It’s not an either, or issue. But “and”. The formula for success Jesus gave on the eve of His execution!

  🍞+🍷=⛲️/🕊️(&😇)

As we know, what it is, is the Truth of what God is doing. The what and how and mosT importantly, the why. Truth to pierce through all cloudy mists of confusion permeating the planet. With it, we stand. And I’m sorry, but without it, we are very likely bound to fall. The five bridesmaids who miss the door into “the” millennium, the first half of His awesome Second Advent. (Mt.25)

 Gospel Verses 📬⭐️

    Matthew 25:34-46

    34 Then the King will say to those at His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit[klēronoméō - a specific allotment of inheritance, apportioned by casting lots] (by lucky shake of the heavenly dice! Chosen to receive sight during this brief lifetime, and so inherit) the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 Then they will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and gave you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’

     40 The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, anything you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ 41 Then (when? Mt.13:30) he will say to those on the left, ‘Depart from me, those (still) being cursed, into the eternal [aiṓn - an age, or having a particular character andquality of an age, the quality describing a particular age] fire prepared for the devil and his angels. [Aion, aionion - does not focus on the future per se, but rather on the quality of the age it relates to. Thus believers live in "aiṓnios life" right now, experiencing this quality of God's life now as a present possession.] 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger [xenos: foreign] (different?) and you did not welcome me, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

     44 They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

     45 He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ 46 Then they will go away [aperchomai - from apo - from, away from, and erchomai - to come, go] to eternal punishment [kolasin - correction; aionion - an age of] but the righteous to eternal [aionion] life.”

      Note: Jesus said, “All those in the tombs/graves will hear God’s voice and will come forth” (from the graves/tombs) “some into the resurrection of life (into THE millennium). And some into the resurrection of judgment” (Jn.5:28-29) which elsewhere He calls agelasting-correction [“kolasin aionion” or “correction eonian” Mt.25:46]. A seeker of Truth has to consider aLL pertaining verses.

        Paul’s Letter to Titus

        ~ Titus 3:1-7 ~

1 - Remind your people to submit to rulers and authorities, to obey rule, and to be ready to do good in every way. 2 To speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show full courtesy toward all people. 3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4 But— When God our Savior revealed his KINDNESS and LOVE, 5 He saved us because of his mercy, and not because of any good things we have done. By the POWER of His own Spirit, he gave us regeneration and renewal, a new birth and a fresh beginning. 6 Which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope [elpis - hope, expectation, trust, confidence] of eternal [aionion] life.

𝒯𝒾𝓉𝓊𝓈 4:8-15

Day Of Atonement

     It will be easier for some during the aionion/eonian correction (kolasis) than it was for some during correction-kolasis that is during “what’s called today”.

    Why? Logic. (Root word of which is Logos.) Jesus said, “ALL those in the tombs will hear His voice and will come forth” (from the graves/tombs) “some in the resurrection of life, and some in the resurrection of judgment” (Jn.5:28-29) which judgment, is “after the thousand years” (Rev.20:5).

     In his explanation of the parable of the sheep and goats, about the goats he said, “these will rise into aionion-kolasis/*agelasting-correction* but the righteous into aionion life” (Mt.25:46). (The believers, both alive, and not alive at His coming, will rise into the millennium.)

     Imagine you never heard about Jesus during your lifetime. Then you rise from your grave/tomb. If it is into the brightness of God’s Presence (Spirit) perhaps initially you may feel fear or be very conscious of your flaws, not yet having them washed away by the reconciliation with God through Jesus. But! Wouldn’t you be happy to find yourself alive?! Loved ones and friends alive.. Then there’s the news and offer of reconciliation! You don’t have to work yourself through the many untruths taught. Nor through the blasphemies upon His character and ability.. And upon Who He Is. The bright Presence, granted, for the hitlers of the world, large and small, may indeed tremble in fear and feel a burning dread. But for others the glow from His being, shall be warm and full of not only peace, but joy. Because thAt’s Who He Is.

     Because of the pattern of the Fall Holy Days - Lev.23:24-44 - I believe “the Judgment” (aionion/eonian correction) shall last five hundred years. And logic suggests to me it will include a Great Review of History - even though it’s the same story over and over, both collectively and individually. Yes, being endowed with the ability to think and reason, one cAn stray away from God - who is Life. And who “is perfect” (Mt.5:48) making imperfect to be not only the opposite of Life, and thus death/nonlife, but a veritable abyss of potential. That abyss is within every wayward heart. But what value is there in including a visible option to stray in Eden, “in the middle of the garden” no less, if it’s not let to run its course?

     Straying from God/Life/Perfection can only ever result in ruin (apocalypse) and ultimately death (which is lack of life, Eccles.10:5,9).

     Hence the remedy and the resurrection (of two occurrences) were built in from the beginning/foundation. Christ Crucified is a strong enough image to ultimately pierce through every guilty conscience and hard, stony, even hating, heart. Oh yes the hitlers may initially experience weeping, gnashing of teeth and deep outer darkness (the setting of the parable of the rich man and Lazarus and of the outside of the vision narrative of Revelation, chapter twenty-two). And don’t you think that’s how it should be?

     But what a traumatic ‘day’! All people rising from all the generations.. So many things to work out and examine. Even those who were preached to by the Lord through Noah while the ark was being prepared - who’s “every thought was only evil” - after perishing in the flood, the next thing they will know, they will be alive again! (1 Pet.3:19-20; 2Pet.2:5)

     After “the Judgment” is a - fiery - ReGenesis, when God “makes all new”. (The word “things” is added to the verse, Rev.21:5, but the word “pas” - “every, all, the whole” is only one word, not two.)

     Again! Much like the “fiery” return/arrival of Jesus when the tares are gathered to a fire - Mt.13:30; Rev.16:14,16; 2Thess.1:7,8 - and then through the fire the wheat rises to meet Him at His coming/appearing. All dross and chaff consumed.. They “will be jewels in the day that He makes up His jewels”. (Malachi 3:17)

     “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until ALL was leavened.” (Mt.13:33, key word 3)

     The three - 1Cor.15:21-28 - “For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23 BUT each in turn: (1)Christ, the firstfruits (barley harvest); then, (2)when he comes, those who belong to him (wheat harvest). 24 Then the end will come - when - he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For he “has put everything under his feet” …so that (3)God may be all in all” (grape harvest, fiery ReGenesis, and the rest of the all, made new).

     And “God will now - tabernacle - with man.” (Rev.21:5) - “The Kingdom” completed.

     “The bear will graze with the cow, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox ..everyone will sit under their own vine and under their own fruit tree

and no one will make them afraid, for the Lord Almighty has spoken/promised.” (Isaiah 11:7; Micah 4:4)

      

     

Truth Will Win

I don't know why untruth (untrue things) get such a deep hold within people and within institutions. Why?

If Christians (the churches) think they are going to, or are supposed to "subdue the world" they're wrong! Jesus said His kingdom was/is not of this world"! Yes, I'd like to see the mad dash toward collapse,etc slowed down (my interest in politics). But that's about all I can hope for. This world is going to, and actually is supposed to, collapse! Why? So God can be proven right! God is life. A person (or angel, or any other rational creature) cannot wander away from God. That's the whole thing/lesson in a nutshell, this chewing upon the knowing of good from evil (life from death, true from untrue).

Yes, God could have spared us all this! Himself too! He being Life, lives through and experiences it all! Why'd he put Himself, and all of us, through all this? I can only assume, through logic, that it's because He's not creating robots or an ant farm. And this life is a unavoidable journey and lesson, if there's to be thinking ability or rational creatures that is! Because, thinking ability sooner or later includes being able to choose and make choices, etc.

"It pleased God to reconcile ALL things to Himself through Him (Jesus), all things whether in heaven or on earth" Colossians 1:20

"For even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive, 23 but each in his proper order, " 1 Corinthians 15:22

Resurrection of all - Contemporary English Version (CEV)
"22 Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us. 23 But we must each wait our turn. Christ was the first to be raised to life, and his people will be raised to life when he returns. 24 Then after Christ has destroyed all powers and forces, the end will come, and he will give the kingdom to God the Father." [oh! 1st, Jesus was resurrected, then 2nd, the resurrection of all believers at His return, and 3rd, another raising to incorruption and immortality at the 'end' when ALL things are made new.. after the millennium and its purpose, and what is commonly called judgment day, and its purpose.]

"25 Christ will rule until he puts all his enemies under his power, 26 and the last enemy he destroys will be death. 27 When the Scriptures say that he will put everything under his power, they don't include God. It was God who put everything under the power of Christ. 28 After everything is under the power of God's Son, he will put himself under the power of God, who put everything under his Son's power. Then God will mean everything to everyone."

"God is the savior of all, especially those which believe" 1 Tim 4:10

A GREAT Sign In The Heavens!!

[Adapted from Revelation chapter 12 with cross references referenced.]
~ A GREAT sign in the heavens!! A woman with a crown of twelve stars, in agony to give birth to a son, a child of mankind who will rule and shatter all nations with iron law (Ps 2:9) and His Kingdom will be a Kingdom that never ends..
     A fiery red dragon stands in readiness to devour the child! King Herod killing every boy child in Bethlehem!
.....Rachel is weeping.. weeping for her children and cannot be consoled.. But the child is caught up to heaven and the right hand of God's throne and in rage the dragon pursues the woman, razing the old, and the new woman runs..
. . . There's war in heaven, Michael and his angels against the dragon and his one third of the angels.. Now restricted from the heavens, in great wrath he pursues and inquisitions the woman.. She's given the two wings of a great eagle that she may sail fast to a new land.. where for three and a half modern divisions of time she is kept safe from the fierce face of the dragon, but then the serpent guise of the dragon spews a flood and proliferation after the woman to wash her away from the face of the earth, so that the eagle may lose its wings, but if they crucify who they did in a green leaf, what will they do in a dry???
. . . Then the dragon's armies will surround the other children of the woman who have the commandments of God, and by now, have the testimony of Jesus..
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how oft I would have gathered you as a hen gathers her chicks! You'll not see me again until you say "blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD"!

More Creativity, Appreciation and Diversity

I heard a Christian rap song today.. It was beautiful! Some people think The Kingdom will be 'boring'.. Not so! It will, of course, be far superior to this world, and life as we presently know it. There will be more creativity and inventiveness, deeper appreciation and complete harmony. And best of all there will be no human failings, no spoiler(s). All things will no longer be "under the law of sin and death" (all things will no longer fall apart and fade away). Truly the sky will be the limit. No back biting, no fraud, no cheating, etc, etc, etc! I believe it's only after this issue of "good and evil" (life and death; true and untrue) has been fully proven and deeply etched upon every heart, mind and psyche, that life will spread throughout the universe..
