spiritual precepts that humanists imagine in their minds of flesh, through self-serving evil motives of their spirits, are also just as “allegorical.” Yet those humanists claimed that their Platonic words were far more literal and practical, although their teachings made the lives of their people into living hells.

Furthermore, those humanists did not allow the people to see how God created the material world to illustrate both good and evil spiritual concepts (of morality, love and hate), so they might witness both God’s ways and Satan’s ways. Instead, those humanists convinced those people that they should ignore those truths. Instead, they taught Platonic principles, and forced the people to believe them. They told the people that god’s rational principles accidentally became material, or through works of god’s enemy, and could not be trusted to illustrate any real truths emanating from their invented, impassive, cold, dead god. Then they violently threatened any who did not believe their humanistic lies, and denounced anyone who pointed to the truths taught in God’s physical creations, especially if those awakening elect spirits also quoted God’s revealed Word to confirm those truths. Yet all these humanists, even the Stoics, were extremely carnal in practice. Everything they did, even their mystical practices, revolved around imaginings from their intellects of flesh and feelings in their bodies of flesh. None dared to seek anything truly spiritual, nothing pertaining to a spirit’s ability to discern between true good and real evil, nothing involving either the love or hate in a human spirit.

In time, humanists grew even more materialistic. Their god became a mere material thing, but with the same impassive nature as their Platonic god. We may think that the corruptions of the early church by those Roman humanists was primitive, and is now long forgotten. But those lies and delusions which the apostles fought against in the first century, those religious attacks by Satan’s fourth kingdom of Rome, are the same to this day. For those humanists still teach Platonism. The secular humanists have now invented the so-called “theory” of a “Big Bang,” the accidental rapid expansion or emanation of a tiny, impassive, material and immaterial “cosmic egg” god which supposedly created the entire material space-time continuum. But this purely intellectual speculation by secular humanists is, of course, merely the same impassive god Plato invented. And all their legal, economic and political systems based on this religion are thoroughly Roman. Yes, there are a few superficial changes, and some biblical doctrines of democracy and justice have been adopted by some nations. But most of the world still functions according to the Platonic concepts and worship the same impassive god of Plato. And some modernized Roman lies provide even more advantages to humanistic exploiters, since some now claim that there were no moral and spiritual values or rational principles that have ever existed at all, since their “cosmic egg” god is just a completely amoral thing, not even a mind containing supposedly ultimate realities or principles. So now secular humanist are free to exploit, plunder, oppress and murder in any way they like, without anyone able to cite any moral principles against them. Psychopaths like Hitler and Stalin did this. Both declared they would enhance evolution through systems which favored only superior psychopaths like them.

Like the former impassive god that Plato invented, the new “cosmic egg” particle of the “Big Bang” speculations is a god who accidentally created all things, even life in all its irreducible complexity, which takes genius to comprehend, much less create. Like ancient Roman Platonists, all our modern Romans claim that all life originated through a process of accidental evolution from “forms” that defined their essence. But, unlike Plato’s god, this new creator god is not a mind in the sky, and has absolutely no rational principles in it, not even the false, elite-serving principles that Plato’s god did.

So secular humanists of the past felt free to murder, plunder and exploit those whom they artificially defined as “inferiors” through their petty, superficial, carnal judgments, because their Platonic god was impassive and did not care what they did. And the Roman secular humanists of our day still essentially believe the same religious myths as they did in the days of Peter, in AD 70. They still

Page 160

believe they can be gods who control their own destinies, as well as the destinies of their supposed “inferiors,” that they can use their “superiority” to oppress all who do not trust in their own lies and delusions. But now those humanists have also eliminated even the slightly limiting constraints of Plato’s impassive mind in the sky. For humanists still believe in an impassive god who cares nothing about the affairs of human beings, who allows humans to establish artificial hierarchies which can “justly” exploit those whom they have artificially deemed to be inferior. And they can still willfully hide truths about the real God, about His Word and even about His physical and spiritual creations, for exactly the same self-serving reasons they did back then. They still suppress truths so they can delude themselves and their people into thinking their creator is not a personal god, that no god will judge or punish anyone for their lies and sins. They can continue to twist physical realities, such as the truth that history proves their thoughts and ways to be entirely destructive. But now those Roman humanists can do so without any possible appeals to any rational principles of their impassive god.

The new Platonic-like, impassive, “cosmic egg” god is mindless, so they can now justify mindless kinds of exploitation. With Plato’s impassive god, they could justify slavery, sexual predation, the plundering of the earth and its people, murder, profitable wars and much more. But Plato’s rational principles from an impassive mind in the sky did have some limitations, while their new impassive “cosmic egg” creator god has no limitations whatsoever. So now the Roman humanists can even claim that their sins are good and healthy for their people, a form of noble nationalism, or a “right” that the humanists of their “superior” kind should be able to engage in with total impunity. Naturally, those sins bear exactly the same results as they did from the beginning of earthly time. That is, the real God still casts those sinners into every deeper and more destructive delusions, which kill them and everyone who aids and abets their sins. But, since those Roman humanists can simply rewrite their own imagined histories and biased news reports, their people become blind to the fact that they are actually killing themselves, as well as all the life on this planet. So those Roman humanists can indefinitely perpetuate their hierarchical systems, which serve only the elite, through the absolutely profound ignorance of themselves and their dupes. But that ignorance is coming to an end very soon.

Since the invention of the new Platonic speculations about the “Big Bang” and evolution, radical secular humanists like Hitler, Stalin, American capitalists and others, have used those speculations to justify more enslaving, exploitation, murder and oppression than Satan’s fourth Roman kingdom managed to accomplish throughout all previous history. And they could only do this after the false humanistic churches, mosques and synagogues had spread their Roman religion to the very ends of the earth. So Rome has now been able to preach their new Platonic “cosmic egg” god everywhere, with very little rational and spiritual opposition. For both the religious and secular humanists have all violently censored and suppressed all opposing truths, although the real truths of God have also spread throughout the world in spite of their physical efforts. Humanists deny that a just, equitable, personal and loving Creator exists, lest their people might actually rebel against being exploited in the infinite number of ways the Roman elite take advantage of them. If their dupes woke up and began to discern between good and evil, those humanistic elite would soon lose their illicit power, and the excessive plunder they steal from their equal siblings. And that is exactly what has been happening, progressively during the last two millenniums. During the eras of the first five seals that we have been experiencing, the knowledge of God’s created realities and His Word has increased exponentially. So now the elect are waking up to the fact that Roman humanism is exploiting them.

Another thing that humanists love to ridicule is the fact that God sent a deluge to wipe out all the humans on earth, except Noah and the seven souls with him. Of course, we cannot categorically state whether or not this was a relatively local or truly world-wide event. But one thing we do know is that

 

Page 161

Last Days Timeline

 

God judged, condemned and effectively killed all the human beings to whom He had granted the ability to discern between good and evil, all who chose evil, then left behind only eight with human spirits that chose good. And humans likely did not live in every continent on earth during the days of Noah, since Noah was a solitary priest of God descended from Seth, and must have served only a relatively small population that became culpable for rejecting God’s truths, even if Noah had many assistants to help him. Because Noah was God’s only appointed teacher of truths, and had previously warned literally all the unrepentant humans who died in the flood, this suggests that the population which God killed during the flood must have been somewhat small, likely fewer than a million souls.

And there were many massive floods in ancient times, far larger floods than any we have had to deal with in our recorded history. All truly scientific evidence and pure logic points to the fact that massive floods reached up to a couple thousand feet of depth, and rose from the earth when “all the [sources] of the great deep burst forth” (Gen. 7:11, which may refer to a massive tsunami during the 40 days of rainfall, possibly caused by shifting of continental plates). These floods pushed massive amounts of sediment extremely quickly over many parts of the earth, which created most of the fossil records we now find. So incredibly massive deluges once destroyed huge segments of the earth, just as the Bible claims, and none of those deluges can be accurately dated by radio-metric dating systems, as scientists falsely claim. But humanists simply want to deny that God destroyed the unrepentant, ruthless human sinners on earth at one time in the past, because they fear that the Creator God of the Bible may exist, and may be about to destroy all the sinners on earth again, albeit after He has graciously allowed the knowledge of humankind to grow exponentially, so that the spirits of His elect may have an opportunity to know Him and reason with Him, for their repentance.

Humanists actually do not want the Bible to be right about anything, lest God’s words might expose their lies and delusions, lest the just, equitable, loving truths of God, which have always proved to be effective in producing abundant lives of love for the people, might turn their elect captives against them. So humanists slander, corrupt or nullify everything they can in God’s Word. Yet God has also destroyed many whole nations because of these same sins. They even seen the evidence throughout history and in our present day of the effects of their lies and sins, how God curses all their ways that oppose His created and declared ways of just love. Every sin that God’s Word defined in His Law, and every lie and sin which our God Jesus condemned, is now causing the very same troubles that that they did in the beginning. Greed, slander, all kinds of ruthless exploitation, all thefts of the basic necessities of life, all murdering, all self-serving sexual immorality, all unjust wars and all the other forms of lawlessness which humanists practice through the willful ignorance, have produced nothing but destruction and spiritually darkened hells on earth. Yet those humanists love their created hells.

It is evident that God is now handing those lovers of darkness, en masse, over to many delusions for the destruction of their flesh. Humanists want everyone to think their empty promises and cunning violence will prevent their destruction. They delude themselves into thinking they can save their own skins, as well as the dupes who blindly worship them. So the deluded eyes of their people cannot see any need for God and His Holy Spirit’s counsel for their lethargic and sleeping spirits, not as long as their sins put food in their mouths and steal illicit pleasures for their bodily organs. All want to remain completely ignorant about the real God, even religious humanists, so they can continue to exploit their siblings in the family of humankind, so they can cast aside God’s loving and wise laws and ways which Jesus fulfills in and through His true elect. They place all the faith of their spirits in their own minds and bodies of flesh, or in other human beings, trusting that their worship of the elite will eliminate all the negative consequences God ordained for their kinds of sins from the beginning.

Yet God has also sent His Word out into the world, and it is everywhere now. Furthermore, God’s creations have spoken too, in very clear ways, very loudly and repeatedly proving that all the actions which God defines as sin always result in the wages of death. All forms of idolatry, including the worship of self, along with all forms of murder, sexual exploitation, theft, slander and greed, lead to destruction. Thus, everyone now knows, with more certainty than ever before, that only the wise and immutable principles revealed by God can benefit us, including His first commands for humankind, to tend the garden of the earth and take responsibility for its living creatures. The evidence is in, and end times of sixth and seventh seals draw near. Divisions are being made, and none have the right to dispute the facts, nor dismiss what is real and true, without facing consequences. Nonetheless, many fake teachers in humanistic churches, synagogues, mosques and secular institutions still deny these realities, which have all been proven beyond a shadow of doubt. For those humanists stubbornly want to be their own gods, and this is the only real reason they ignore the real God and His truths.

Then, ever since those days of the first seal’s era, humanists have striven to gain as many proselytes as they can. They work like whipped slaves of Satan to convince others that their self-serving lies and delusions are true, by endlessly repeating their lies as often as they can. For they somehow think that the more often they tell themselves those lies, the more they and their dupes will believe those lies are true. Then they get other liars to confirm their lies, to supposedly prove their lies are true, or else to prove that the real truths are lies. But humanists, whether they are blindly believing fake churchians or falsely “scientific” secular humanists, do not seem to comprehend the immutable principle that a truth will always and forever be true, no matter how many liars say it is false. Nor can a lie ever become true, even if all the world says it is true. Not only that, but the omnipotent and omniscient Creator God, who maintains all His creations with His spiritual power, will not alter His decree that the wages of lies and sins shall be death, that is, a complete separation from all of His good creations. So, no matter how many deluded sinners want God to reward lies and sins with abundant life, He never will. Even if all the world, except eight souls, side with those lying and self-worship ping humanists, God will destroy all in death, except those eight, just as He did in the days of Noah. But God has much better things planned for His elect. Although so many elect have fallen to the deceits of humanists in the past, and continue to do so up to this day, a time is coming, and has now begun, when the elect shall no longer believe those liars. Instead, because Jesus has been revealing His truths to the entire world for two millenniums, and is now increasing the knowledge of those truths everywhere on earth, most of the elect will soon repent into those truths, and love God.

Both the religious and secular humanists somehow think they have thoroughly justified their lies and sins, and they are now safe from all opposition and accusations. Humanistic churches, synagogues, mosques and secular institutions proudly proclaim that their murdering, sexual exploitation, theft, lies and greed are wise, practiced for the good of all. And they think that they will never receive any negative consequences from their ruthless, bigoted lies or their unjust, evil deeds, because they all think the Bible is wrong. “But, by the same word [of God], the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.” The whole earth has turned against them. Nature’s storms, droughts, floods and famines are killing millions, all due to the Roman humanism practiced by nations. The terrorism of war and rebellion, which Satan’s highly factious Roman religion has practiced from its beginning, has inundated every land on the face of the earth. Yet very few of the true elect repent into the just, equitable, loving truths of God.

The sixth era’s revival of God’s true visible priesthood, followed by the seventh seal’s era of God judging the earth, shall come to utterly devastate all the elite deceivers in all the nations and all the institutions created by humanists, as well as the beast himself, who will be the messiah of Satan’s

Roman kingdom. During the eras of the first five seals, God rebuked the humanists created by the four kingdoms which Daniel prophesied about, and only partially destroyed the first three (i.e., Babylon, Persia and Greece). And God repeatedly proved that the doctrines of those humanists were false, throughout history. For all they could ever produce were slave societies, where even their elite were slaves of demons, slaves of fear, and slaves of their own lies and sins. Yet some of the earliest forms of humanists, from all three previous kingdoms of the devil’s world order, survived in Rome, and continued to influence that psychopathic fourth kingdom. So the humanists of all four of Satan’s religious kingdoms on earth were never entirely destroyed. Nevertheless, in the seventh seal’s era, God will slaughter them all and crush their fourth kingdom into dust—because it is impossible to honestly reason with those non-elect humanists who refuse to repent into the truth, who ignore clear evidence, and therefore remain without any excuse. Our God, Jesus the Messiah, will soon rule over all the earth in His loving, equitable just ways, to build up truly full, abundant lives upon His truths.

“But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand

years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to fulfill His promise as some

count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that [some] should perish, but that all

[kinds] should reach repentance.”

Here (in II Pet. 3:8-9), Peter told us that a thousand years and a day are alike in the mind of our God, who is a Spirit, who is each elect spirit’s personal Lord and Owner. And Peter declared this after he warned the wicked about the future “day of judgment,” as well as just before reminding the elect that God “is not slow to fulfill His promise.” In other words, Peter wanted us to realize that passing time does not hurry nor worry God in any way. So the passing of earthly time should not cause us to fret either. Time is not what we think it is. Consequently, we must not judge God, nor persons or things, based solely on the passage of time. We should not think that God’s Law is outdated, and that lies and sins are now somehow acceptable in God’s eyes. Nor should we think that the sins of the past were acceptable to God, that the past sinners were once “great,” then seek the same kinds of sinful past lives in the present time. For God has, once and for all time, declared all human beings in all history are real sinners. All are murdering, sexually immoral, thieving, lying, covetous wretches with either ignorant and infantile elect spirits, or darkness-loving non-elect spirits. Whether human beings lie and sin directly, or indirectly through willful ignorance and criminal negligence, they have never been “great,” and never will be. Therefore, we all must forget what is behind and press on toward the goal of our salvation in Jesus, our God and Messiah. For He alone is great, and He alone can save us.

And neither God’s Spirit nor our own human spirits can perceive the passing of earthly time as our bodies of flesh do. Peter also clearly stated another principle here, that God, who is a Spirit, is not and never has been bound by earthly time. God will never be subject to His own creation of earthly time passing sequentially, in a linear way. His Spirit cannot be bound by input from senses of the flesh over a period of time, although He did come to us in a body of flesh, and temporarily binds our spirits to the senses of our flesh, to experience the passing of earthly time, so our spirits might learn to love Him and His ways. God can never be limited by His creation of material time, since His own power, transfigured into material energy, defines material time and space, causing our spirits to perceive the passing of earthly time through our flesh. The mind of His Spirit, and the minds of all His created spirits made for His spiritual space-time continuum, see earthly time, even a billion years, as being no longer than any other amount of earthly time, even a nanosecond. In other words, literally all the past and all the future exist at the same time, and all within the mind of God. And it is amazing that Peter knew all this in the first century, long before Einstein discovered the foundation of this principle in the 20th century, and before scientists confirmed this reality in the 21st century.

At the same time, Peter also implied that Jesus may not return for a thousand years or more, since the context of this statement is the promise that our God Jesus made, to return and judge the earth soon. So here Peter wanted us to know that the Messiah’s promise to return soon is relative to His mind, because it was Him who declared it. And it is also relative to the minds of our eternal spirits, who also experience the same non-linear time of the spiritual space-time continuum. But soon is not relevant to our temporary bodies of flesh. Thus, our minds of flesh might perceive a day as being “soon.” But, in the mind of God, and in our spirits, a thousand years, which our flesh might perceive as an inconceivably long time, is also “soon.” Now almost two thousand years have passed since our Owner and Lord Jesus left us and ascended into heaven (in AD 28). Yet that is actually a very short time in the mind of our God’s Spirit and our spirits, comparable to two earthly days for our flesh.

Also, during these last two thousand years, God has been very busy. For one thing, God has allowed the beast’s factious kingdom of Rome, whose moral and spiritual laws are based on Satan’s religion of humanism (the most demonic religion ever invented), has conquered the earth. And this event of Rome’s conquest, which God’s Word prophesied, has been used by God to illustrate how human beings are utterly infantile, short-sighted, foolish, sheepish who are totally incapable of making wise, beneficial, just, equitable, loving spiritual laws for themselves. The religion of Rome has shown us that there is no god but God, and how all humans and demons fall short of any kind of good opinion from God. Therefore, we should treat all human beings as equal sinners, and never worship either ourselves or anyone else. But, at the same time, God preserved His Word, with His promise of true salvation, making it available to almost everyone on the earth. And, during all this time, God has caused non-elect spirits, born of Satan, more radical and more violently against the spirits of His elect children, which is causing His elect to further separate themselves from the non-elect. That is, God has been polarizing the world, where loving elect spirits have begun to gather on one side as the loveless non-elect spirits have begun to gather on the other side. Then, when this dichotomization process is almost completed, in the the sixth seal’s era, He will begin to judge Satan’s world order.

The entire era of the seventh seal will be full of events causing the utter destruction of the non-elect and Satan’s Roman religion, culminating with the return of Jesus. Then Jesus will restore the earth, after He has devastated it with His judgments against the wicked who destroyed the earth and its people for two millenniums. After Jesus redeems the earth, all His surviving elect in the priesthood of His true church, as well as countless resurrected elect returning from the spiritual realm of heaven, will build up His loving, just kingdom on earth for a thousand years. And that earthly kingdom of God will be much like His heavenly kingdom. But, once it is completed in justice and love, Jesus will bring back Satan and some of his non-elect children, who will prove that, no matter how perfect life on earth might be, those non-elect would rather be destroying gods than live in peace with their siblings in the family of humankind. That is, Satan’s non-elect human children will try to take over the world and murder Jesus again, in the rebellion of Gog and Magog, after a millennium of peace.

Jesus not only promised to remove all the non-elect from the earth when He returns, but He also promised to rightly teach and justly rule the earth when He returns, and even bring back the spirits of many elect who were slain by the beast during the seventh seal’s era, so they too can serve the earth again. Jesus promised to undo the works of Satan, by returning many murdered elect to their bodies of earthly flesh at the first resurrection, so they can govern with Him for a full thousand years. But, even then, right to the end, when the rebellion of Gog and Magog occurs, the earth will serve its true purpose as a training ground for His elect. Only after all the lessons of God have been taught on the earth, will Jesus withdraw all spirits of life into the heavenly realm, withdraw His power from the entire material space-time continuum, and let all physical existence become an informative memory.

At this point, let me repeat that only a few of the elect that Jesus will awaken and gather into His true church during the sixth-seal’s revival will come from what we now call “Christian” churches. And not all the non-elect that Jesus will destroy will be those whom the false churches now assume to be unbelievers and enemies of God. For most churches are humanistic and falsely judge by things of the flesh (John 8:15), but our God only judges by the motives and intentions of the spirit, by the hearts of His people, just as He frequently stated in His Word (e.g., I Sam. 16:7). And our God Jesus also commanded us to judge in the same way: “Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment” (John 7:24, WEB). So, if we see an atheist, or any soul bound to any other religion, who still loves and respects other people and life in general, while also vexing over the unjust church and secular institutions, even accusing the false gods invented by fake churches for those crimes, we may need to look deeper into the motives of that one’s heart. For the spirit of that atheist or member of another religion just might actually be one of God’s truly elect children. Of course, if a spirits does actually hate the just and loving precepts of God, and worships only himself or some other false god, then that one is likely one of the non-elect. But, even so, that God-hater may not be as bad as the so-called “Christians” who preach hate and deliberately oppose God’s loving, wise, just, equitable truth.

Most humanistic fake “Christians” judge falsely, by outward appearances alone, while they nullify and corrupt God’s Word in self-serving ways and, therefore, commit sins of the first four orders, the kinds of sins which slander God’s good name in all the earth and serve as the foundation for all the other sins in God’s Law. In other words, those fake “Christians” intentionally commit sins against the core nature and essence of God, unforgivable sins against God’s utterly holy Spirit, and commit these sins daily. And let us remember that even the worst of the non-elect atheists are seldom that evil, and cannot be that evil, since it takes a fake servant of the biblical God to actually commit those kinds of unforgivable sins. So now let us learn to judge rightly. And Jesus set an example of judging according to the motives and intentions of the spirit, as His Law commands. Then He fulfills that Law in and through those He gathers into His true priesthood, so we are able to judge as He judges.

Consequently, if we must judge someone, we first find out why that one lied or sinned. Then we let our God Jesus teach us to judge their reasons rightly, and keep on asking why, until we truly know all the spirit’s true motives and intentions. For we cannot judge anyone simply by their words and deeds of the flesh, since very few sinners actually know much of anything about themselves, and definitely not about their own spirits, which they have long since put to sleep. Because humanism is taught everywhere, the vast majority have learned to completely suppress any input from their spirits within their souls. Yet those spirits are the sources of the motives and intentions that we must judge.

So most sinners will think the reason they lied or sinned is due their past perceptions or experiences of their flesh, or due to impulses of their flesh. Yet the things of flesh tell us absolutely nothing about the motives and intentions of their spirits, and both elect and non-elect souls will lie and sin through the same emotions and impulses of the flesh. Thus, Jesus’ Holy Spirit teaches us to read between their words, to discover the motives and intentions of their spirits in their hearts, so we might judge rightly. And, whenever we do this, we often find that liars and sinners are simply useful elect idiots serving elite non-elect manipulators, but do not actually know their right hand from their left. On the other hand, we also begin to realize that many so-called “great” church and secular leaders are pure heirs of Satan, disguised as angels of light, hiding behind a thin veneer of smiles and charming lies.

Our God Jesus will return to a true church of the real elect on earth, not to a spiritually prostituting church riding on the back of the humanistic beast, letting that vicious monster take her wherever he wills, so she can glean the rewards of money and power in Satan’s world order. And, when Jesus returns to destroy the fake churches and Roman kingdom, He will also bring many deceased elect

Page 166

with Him. But the majority of the elect whom Jesus will return to the earth in the first resurrection of the dead will be the awakened and faithful elect who repented into the truth during the revival of the sixth seal, but had been murdered by the Roman beast during the era of the seventh seal. For Jesus will only resurrect a priesthood who is able to effectively serve the earth during the millennium. Only the elect with spirits taught and trained by His Holy Spirit will return with Jesus, to see their God Jesus seated on His throne in the earthly Jerusalem. And these end times are approaching fast.

Some may think Jesus has taken far too long to return and judge the earth, since they have had to endure the lies and injustice of the wicked all their lives, and all their ancestors had to do the same throughout the last two thousand years. But every individual elect spirit has only had to endure lies and injustice during a very short lifetime, only for a very brief perception of earthly time. And very few of those who are angry about God delaying justice seem to fully understand how weak and foolish they, and all human beings, truly are, nor how they contributed to the lies and sins of the very ones they complain about, nor how their sins of omission, their sins of doing nothing to nullify the works of the devil, harm their siblings too. Let each infantile elect spirit see how the supposedly “little white lies” and common sins they themselves overlook have led to the horrors of psychopathic persecutions and senseless wars, and how they had allowed Satan’s non-elect to rule over the earth.

Because most of the elect are deceived by humanistic propaganda, which causes them to think human beings are strong and wise, they have trusted demonically inspired human beings to enslave and abuse them. But the reality is that literally all human beings are weak sinners who do not learn easily, who ignore plain facts revealed in broad daylight before their eyes. Therefore, God proved the ways and means of His kind of loving, equitable justice to mankind over many centuries, so He might assure the elect that His precepts have always been effectively good. God has proved His truths since the very beginning of human history, the only His truths can make us free. But, since the day God came to us in a body of human flesh, those proofs have been more overtly proven, in blood and tears, for every generation. Each generation since His first advent has also recorded those proofs, so that the knowledge of those truths would increase, and so the wicked shall be without excuse. And now that the knowledge of His loving, just, equitable laws and ways has been broadcast throughout the world, few remain innocent. Now the elect divide from the non-elect, and He will return to earth.

God had to work slowly and patiently within humankind. For He is unwilling to let the spirits of His infantile elect children perish in lawlessness. Yet now, after two millenniums, even in our abject stupidity, God has revealed so many of His principles of life and faith, that His elect cannot help but trust Him more than their human gods. For how can they see the non-elect using their money and power from Satan to exploit and enslave souls all over the world, then continue to trust, esteem and serve those charming psychopathic sinners as their saving gods? Soon the few awakened elect alive today will be multiplied exponentially, during the era of the sixth seal. And, by the end of the day that Jesus returns, all the surviving and resurrected elect on earth will have repented into the truths of God. Then literally all elect who died on earth throughout history, even all the elect who did not know the name of Jesus, will find their full repentance into all truth on the last day at heaven’s gate.

“But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a

roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works

that are done on it will be exposed . Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort

of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the

coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved,

and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!”

Here (in II Pet. 3:10), we see that the second advent of our God Jesus will “come like a thief” upon the earth, since most souls in the world will not be ready to repent and welcome Him. Although it is obvious to some honest elect that we are living in the era of the fifth seal, and that the generation who will need to endure God’s wrath upon the earth during the eras of the sixth and seventh seals will be born soon, none of this is obvious to the humanists in fake churches or secular institutions. For God has been handing those deliberately idolatrous fools over to blinding and self-destructive delusions since the days of Babylon, to punish them for their sins. And the elect who have joined those humanists in their idolatry over the centuries, who not only silently tolerated their worship of exploiting human gods, but also esteemed and served those psychopaths together with them, are being destroyed by the same penalty. So the world has been held in great darkness for a very long time, with only a few bright flashes of light in between, especially the first advent of our Messiah.

But those delusions are now being “exposed” throughout the earth, for the sake of God’s elect. For the “day of the Lord” is drawing near. This revelation of God’s truth, which exposes the darkness of all those shallow, trite, blinding lies and delusions which have plagued human life for millenniums, will be critical for the education of the elect during the great revival of His true church during the era of the sixth seal. It will also be essential for the survival of the elect, as a functioning body who will care for one another during the great tribulations of the seventh seal, including the war with Gog and Magog as the millennium of Christ’s rule draws to a close. But, on the last day, at the gates where Jesus shall judge all the human souls who ever knew a spark of life on earth, “the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed” even more fully, in every tiny detail. For Jesus will use human experiences on earth to thoroughly illustrate how lies and sins harm and destroy true love, all that can go wrong, whenever anyone deviates from His perfectly created spiritual laws and ways.

Still, God’s earthly task of exposing lies and delusions will be completed just before the eras of the sixth and seventh seals, and the era of the seventh seal will end with the judgment day, after God “burns” the material universe. In the Old and New Covenant Scriptures, “the day of the Lord” is the period of time that the Revelation refers to as the era of the seventh seal. For it is always described as the period when God’s wrath pours out, to judge the earth, culminating in the Messiah’s rule over all the earth, followed by the final redemption of all His elect children who ever lived on earth. And, according to the prophecies of the Revelation, all this will occur during the era of the seventh seal.

So the prophecies of Scripture are very clear about when the end times will occur, so the awakened elect will not be caught unprepared and lacking faith. Yet God’s wrath will strike against the non-elect of Satan’s world order without warning, like a thief in the night, because God keep them bound in delusions. Actually, when you study all the prophecies about the last days together, especially those about the end times (i.e., about the eras of the sixth and seventh seals), there are literally thousands of details about those events, some of which have already occurred. And there are no contradictions in those prophecies, only harmonious descriptions. Therefore, it is relatively easy to see how the last days and end times will unfold by examining God’s prophecies. Thus, it is not that difficult to predict that the days of the sixth and seventh seals, “the day of the Lord,” is near. And that day will not “come like a thief” in the night upon the awakened, informed elect. But the non-elect know none of this. And if read it, they do not believe it, and will not expect to see His advent.

The loveless non-elect, who are almost all Roman humanists in our day, are far too busy destroying lives and the whole earth through their petty selfish ambitions. So none pay any attention to the prophecies of God. Some are busy with their futile wars, others with their slavery to Mammon. Some are dulled by drunken carousing, drugs, exploitative sex, entertaining distractions or other kinds self-indulgence. Yet most of these selfish and loveless non-elect souls think they are quite

good and upright. Then some of their eternal spirits delude their minds of flesh into thinking spirits do not exist, so they will simply vanish into nothing after death, and will not eternally exist in the utter darkness they created for themselves. Sill other non-elect somehow convince themselves that their physical deeds, like their sacraments or recitals of form prayers, have earned them a ticket into heaven. Consequently, most of the non-elect feel that they have no need to worry about anything God said about His judgments. All they care about is the worship of self. So they go on their merry way, plotting plunders, marrying and setting up images of their material and human gods in their little hearts and homes, ignoring God’s just, equitable, loving will in all of their self-serving plans.

It is actually fascinating to watch the delusions of the humanists. For, with all the horrors they have repeatedly caused throughout history, by committing exactly the same kinds of sins over and over again, you would think that they would logically realize that their own sins are causing all of their own problems. But this fact never enters their dark little deluded minds. They keep turning to one corrupt, lying, self-serving, exploitative, psychopathic human god after another, seeking salvation through the same kinds of violence and lies. Just because liars utter a few charming words to flatter their egos, they blindly follow them into exactly the same death and destruction that the previous human gods led them into. Of course, this is primarily due to the fact that those liars lie about history and its causes, so none can learn from history. Yet, their own personal experiences also reveal the same lessons as history, but they somehow cannot figure out why those ruthless human gods are not serving them for their own good. They all want their own selfish materialistic lives to continue uninterrupted. So they seek out lying human gods who tickle their vain ears and eloquently promise to gratify their greed and other selfish lusts. Then those fake gods tell them that, if they remain stupid and enslaved to them, they will receive all that he promised. So they follow each moron, and even commit sins like murdering their own siblings in the family of humankind, all for him, while eagerly dreaming about how that stupid psychopath will soon gratify all the lusts of their flesh. But, as always, they end up destroying themselves, many innocent lives, as well as the lands they live in.

Deluded humanists, both those in fake churches and secular institutions, will continue to make these same foolish mistakes indefinitely, right up to the very day they will all perish, together with their worshiped human manifestation of Satan, whom Jesus called the beast. For those humanists lie, and make themselves somehow believe that their past horrifying slave societies, such as ancient Rome or the other seasons of prosperity for elite psychopaths that murdered and enslaved their siblings, were actually utopias. Then every new generation of humanists gathers around their latest psychopath who promises to make them “great again,” just like they weren’t in the past. And so the horrors reiterate.

Some may think their humanistic beliefs will exist for hundreds or even millions of years, since their religious pseudo-scientific myths prophesy that the universe will last that long. But the Creator of the material universe has other plans, which they cannot thwart. God’s plans are now unfolding exactly as His prophecies said they would, and none can alter them, not even a shadow of one degree. Jesus will indeed destroy Satan’s world order, with it religion of his fourth kingdom, and He will do this very soon, perhaps even within less than a hundred years. Then humanism, with all of its military might, corrupt justice systems, economic exploitation, deluding educational institutions and ruthless social systems, shall be crushed, then shamed and derided for all eternity. For all their ways and laws are based upon the worship of foolish and sinful human beings who loathe the realities God created.

Because all humanists have been handed over to great delusions, they cannot think rationally, and are totally incapable of seeing how their actions will cause only harm and death. They become so myopic that they cannot perceive even the most immediate consequences of their lies and sins. This is why all their laws and ways prove to be so unjust, ineffective or plain foolish, resulting in so much

Page 169

needless suffering, loss and death. And, although humanistic false churches and secular institutions have now convinced most of the elect to support their hierarchies of soul-crushing elite human gods, their little factious kingdoms are already dying. Soon the eyes of the elect will be opened, once the humanistic systems are thrown into chaos by the world-wide plagues of earthquakes and “stars” striking the earth like bombs (or, from the phenomenological point of view held by John and the other prophets, those “stars” might actually be missiles). Then, after a period of calm and the great revival, more plagues will strike Satan’s world order through God’s wrath against their manifold lies and sins. Finally, Jesus shall return to replace Satan’s world order with His new order, with God’s ways, laws and systems, with all the loving justice and equity described in God’s Word. Jesus will rule the earth, so all can worship the real God, and stop worshiping the human puppets of the devil.

After a millennium of Jesus ruling the world, and after the final rebellion of Gog and Magog, the stupidity and sins of Satan’s kingdom of sinners will have been thoroughly exposed to all, in every detail. All of the Creator God’s teaching and training, which He has granted to all the earth through all the events of history, will be completed by then. So the educational purpose of the material universe, for the infantile elect spirits whom God placed within it, will be fulfilled. “Then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.” Here, when it uses a plural word translated as “the heavens,” it can only refer to the first two temporary heavens that God created: (1) the earth’s atmosphere, where clouds float and birds fly, together with all the earth below it; and (2) outer space, which contains the sun, moon, planets and stars. Then the phrase “heavenly bodies” is a translation of another word, στοιχεῖον. In context, this refers to the “basic components of something, elements” (BDAG3). So here Peter is telling us that God will eventually “burn” literally all the components of the material universe—all the elements in it, all that is in the distant stars, all space, time and energy.

So God’s prophesies of Scripture tell us that God will “burn” the entire material universe (i.e., from καυσούμενα, “being set on fire”), in the same way that fire causes wood to vanish into nothing, that is, according to the perspective of those living in the first century, who did not know that the wood actually turned into gases. Literally, Peter was saying that the entire space-time continuum “will pass away” (παρελεύσονται) and “will be nullified” (λυθήσεται). Or, in more modern terms, we might say that God shall withdraws His power, which is the energy defining all space and time, leaving literally nothing behind, not even an empty vacuum of space. Yet, after the complete elimination of the entire material universe, Peter then declared that one more event will occur. Peter stated that “the earth and the works in it will be able to be found and seen” (γῆ καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ ἔργα εὑρεθήσεται). God’s elect will be able to look upon the entire history of the universe, into every time and place, to discover and comprehend all the eternal principles which God illustrated through through His material creations.

For some reason, the KJV and other versions translate this last clause in II Peter 3:10 as something like this: “… the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” But that is not what the text says, not in any Greek manuscripts. All of the earliest and most reliable manuscripts use the future passive indicative form of εὑρίσκω (Papyrus 72, Codex Sinaiticus, Codex Vaticanus, etc.). So what Peter definitely said here was: “the earth and the works in it will be able to be found and seen.” And the interpreters of this verse interpret it wrongly, because they cannot image how the earth and its works can be “found and seen” (or discovered or exposed) after the earth has been destroyed and has vanished. For they think there will be no one left there to “find and see” anything on the earth!

However, after the material universe ends, God will still be alive. So some might then think Peter may have been implying something like: “the earth and man’s achievements will be discovered and exposed to divine judgment” (R&R2). But that makes no sense. First, the context indicates that this

Page 170

First Seal Prophecies

 

is referring to the physical earth, which consists of inanimate elements like rock. And God is not going to judge the atoms and molecules of rocks on earth, and their works. Rather, all His prophecies state that He will judge each individual human life that lived on earth, by the motives and intentions of each one’s spirit in the heart. God will base all His decisions by looking at why those spirits spoke their words and did their works on earth. And, after God nullifies the entire material universe, all the human spirits who ever lived on earth will be dwelling in new “heavenly” bodies standing at the gates of heaven, waiting for Jesus’ biblical kind of judgment. And our omniscient God will already know why each one did works on earth, since God knew why before the earth existed. So God will never really “find” or “discover” anything about any of them then, not as the verb εὑρίσκω indicates.

Therefore, what Peter was prophesying about here was how all the human souls waiting at the gates of heaven will see and discover all the past events and works done throughout the entire history of the earth. Once they all see and discover all this, the non-elect will be without excuse as they are herded into hell. But the elect, whose spirits were created with an inherent propensity to desire the real truth and build love upon it, will learn precisely why they should repent into the truth, from all they see and discover. As all the other spirits of life taken up from the earth, all the spirits of plant and animal lives, they will already be gathered into heaven. And all those spirits have minds of their own, although they cannot discern between good and evil, but only do whatever they are caused or commanded to do. So all of those spirits might also “find and see” some of the reasons for God’s creation of the material universe and their earthly lives as well, although not in same way human spirits will. Likewise, the heavenly angels, who never dwelt on earth, have also always longed to look into the reasons for God’s temporary material creations, and may discover truths at that time.

So Peter’s prophecy here seems to indicate that, when all go to the judgment day after the earth ends, all will be able to “find and see” all that occurred on earth. All human beings will be able to discover who did what to whom, how and where they did it, and why they did it. Thus, Peter implied that the earth will still exist after it is gone. Now this does not seem possible to us, since we are still bound to a linear flow of time on earth. Our perceptions cannot go back in time, to “find and see” what is now gone. But numerous Scriptures indicate that time is not linear in heaven, that events in the spiritual space-time continuum occur whenever a spirit thinks a thought and makes a choice, then forever remain in the spirit’s mind and in the realities of heaven’s space-time continuum. Therefore, all times can be revisited there, from the beginning to the end, and at any time. In the spiritual space-time continuum, all past and future times exists at the same time, so all times infinitely build up upon one another, and so all times are accessible to all at any time. Thus, we will be able to view any time at any place on earth, and any work that ever occurred on earth, from the moment of its creation. Also, after all the spirits from the earth receive their new bodies made of spiritual substances, and all are permanently dwelling in the far more real spiritual space-time continuum, they will then be able to observe and hear the spirits in the bodies of flesh on earth for the first time. Thus, all will be able to discover the motives and intentions of all the spirits who did any good or evil works while on earth.

With this plenary and instant access to so much more information than the extremely limited earthly existences of the elect could ever discover in their short lifetimes, Jesus will finally be able to judge them all to completion and perfection, in a biblical way. That is, the main objective of every biblical kind of judgment is to lead the spirits of sinners into repentance, whenever possible. And every kind of true repentance must be done willingly, through the mind of a spirit. It can never be accomplished through coercion, not by any kind of threat. Of course, the non-elect always must be threatened into a reluctant and superficial compliance to just laws, which is why non-elect authorities always rely on terrorism to force the obedience of others. But, on the judgment day, the principal work of Jesus will

 

Page 171

Last Days Timeline

 

be to teach and train the inherently loving elect human spirits, who were all created in the image of their heavenly Father. Jesus will lead His elect into an acceptance of the truths about themselves, about all others and about Himself. Therefore, being able to “find and see” all the earth and all the works upon it, even all the spiritual motives and intentions behind those works, will be an extremely valuable asset in providing for the education of infantile elect spirits, for their repentance into truth.

When the elect stand in heaven and see the earth’s history, they will find that it has not been what the humanistic history books said it was. They will discover that, during the past two thousand years, most of the elect lost their access and their understanding of the truths Jesus taught during His first advent, largely due to the works of Satan’s fourth Roman kingdom. But none of that truth itself had been lost. That truth has always been hidden in plain sight and preserved by God. For, once God reveals a truth to the earth, He ensures that it remains on earth, and that darkness will not destroy it.

So, during the era of the first seal, especially from that day of the Pentecost, when Jesus sent His Holy Spirit to His apostles, Rome’s secular authorities and fake churches eagerly strove to destroy the truth, and all who proclaimed it. But that demonic religion of Roman humanism failed. Yes, the warnings from Peter, James, Paul, John and the other apostles, about the Roman Platonic itinerant philosophers whom the devil sent to infiltrate and sabotage His true apostolic churches, remained largely unheeded by the elect. For the elect will not actually act upon those urgent warnings until the great revival occurs, in the era of the sixth seal. However, Jesus knew exactly what He was doing.

Jesus let Satan’s fourth kingdom develop “visible” false churches with grand buildings and steep hierarchies of elite religious authorities, who invented rule upon rule and precept upon precept, to maintain the terrorized submission of its people. For Jesus had His priorities, and the establishment of a true “visible” church, filled with true teaching and judging elders who were even better taught and trained than His original apostles, was not in His plan at that time, and He told us this through the prophecies granted through His Revelation to John. His true visible church, as His visible body of true disciples on earth, as His visible priesthood for the entire earth, was not to exist until the sixth seal’s era. But, until then, Jesus sent His Holy Spirit to teach and train the infantile spirits of His elect, until they found, saw and more fully experienced His truths. Jesus wanted His elect, who would eventually form the eternal priesthood of His ministering church in heaven, to more fully understand the reasons why those truths are essential for the construction of just, pure, equitable love in their spirits. Jesus continuously worked on revealing the right applications of His truths to His elect, all the effective principles which He taught them on earth from the beginning. All elect had to first see the real value of those truths through the experiences they would glean throughout history.

Then, on that last day at the gates of heaven, the elect will find and see all the works of Jesus and all the works of Satan on the earth, from the moment of its creation until the universe is destroyed, in all times at all places on the earth throughout its existence. They will study the examples of God’s truth working on the earth, but also discover many examples of how Satan’s lies produced evil. All elect spirits will be able to enter any earthly time once they are standing in the spiritual realm. And, with this vast knowledge gained by them on that last day, all those infantile elect spirits will be finally completed and perfected together at the same time (Heb. 11:40). At the end of that last day, all the elect will be mature in their understanding, made ready to serve life in heaven, prepared to labor next to their God Jesus for the welfare of His other beloved spirits. In the meantime, as we remain back here on earth, at a time which is not long before God’s wrath strikes the earth, we must begin to see how much we need to trust God’s Word, and realize His purposes for our short lives upon this earth.

First Seal Prophecies

 

Because God’s will and power created this teaching and training ground of the earth primarily for the education of the eternal spirits of His elect children, we must understand that our lives on earth are indeed very real, and serve our heavenly Father’s critical purposes for our infantile spirits. Of course, God’s works on earth teach and train animal and plant spirits as well, to make those spirits more fit for heaven. But, above all, God created the material universe to teach and train the spirits of His own heirs, so they might learn to lovingly serve the rest of His creations in the same way He does, as His priesthood, that is, as those who serve others in His name, and represent them to His Spirit as well.

So we must find and see this purpose of life on earth throughout our lives here. Right now we need to wake up and let the Holy Spirit of our Lord and Owner, Jesus, teach and train our spirits. As Peter said: “Since all these [material] things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!” Knowing that our bodies of flesh and all physical things are temporary, we must not waste our lives in the pursuit of what Paul once called “wood, hay and straw,” the temporary material rewards offered by Satan’s world order. Rather, we must spend more time in the pursuit of spiritual “gold, silver and valuable gems,” the eternal things of God’s kingdom—the truths which enable us to love in a just, pure and God-like way. And is by learning these truths, and by building the love in our spirits upon those truths, that we will “hasten” the second advent of Jesus. In this version of this verse (II Pet. 3:12), the word “hastening” is a translation of the present participle form of σπεύδω in the phrase, σπεύδοντας τὴν παρουσίαν τῆς τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμέρας (“hastening the coming of the day of God.” This verb means, “cause something to happen or come into being by exercising special effort” (BDAG3). So, in context, it does not actually mean that Jesus will return any sooner if we learn His truths. Rather, it means that Jesus will not return until we do learn His truths. First, “it is necessary for [the elect] to begin in holy behavior and godliness” (δεῖ ὑπάρχειν ὑμᾶς ἐν ἁγίαις ἀναστροφαῖς καὶ εὐσεβείαις), which will occur in the sixth seal’s revival, before Jesus will return to rule the earth.

John gave us a similar warning: “Do not love the [world order] or the things in the [world order]. If anyone loves the [world order], the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the [world order]—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the [world order]. And the [world order] is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever” (I John 2:15-17, ESV). And remember, the world order no longer is no longer defined by mere chaotic superstition, sloppy witchcraft and wild carnal lusts expressed through brute force. Now Satan has organized superstition, formalized witchcraft and built steep hierarchies to thoroughly domesticate the expression of carnal lusts, to tame orgies and gratuitous violence for the sakes of his elite psychopathic children. Almost the entire world order has been subjugated to that devil’s prime religion of Roman humanism through the power of his fourth kingdom, just as Daniel prophesied. So, in John’s day and local area, and now over all the earth, the love of the world order is the love Roman economic systems and the lucrative careers in them, the love of manipulative and terrorizing political systems and the power gained through them, the love of Roman “being” with its rewards of fame and god-like esteem, the love of pagan Roman religions with their magic rituals to deceive and control dupes, and all the carnal rewards promised by Satan.

Most of what John referred to as the world order in the first century is exactly the same Roman form of Satan’s world order we see everywhere today, a system of Roman terrorism to “keep order” for its elite psychopathic human gods, founded on a system of producing rhetoric which appeals entirely to emotions of the flesh, used to convince dupes that the truth is a lie and that lies are the truth. And the use of money and violence in the world order, to force the subjugation of its people, is not something

that true elect spirits can never love, although their flesh can love it. Because God has granted the people of this earth all they need to tend its gardens and take responsibility for its living creatures, and more than enough to provide and distribute all that every human needs to survive and thrive, it is time for the elect to awaken their spirits and follow God’s loving, just, equitable ways. And God’s ways not only feed the flesh, but each individual elect spirit too. But Satan’s Roman religious system oppresses and deadens all elect spirits, then murders all life in all flesh through its lies. Therefore, there is no reason to cling to Satan’s Roman world order, thinking that we cannot survive without it, because that is just another lie from that devil. In reality, only God’s ways can save all life on earth.

“But according to His promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which

righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be

found by Him without spot or blemish, and at peace.”

The “new heavens/skies and a new earth in which righteousness dwells” here does not refer to the millennium of Christ’s rule on earth. Yes, our almighty God Jesus will restore all the damage that Satan and his non-elect children have done to the earth, when He returns. But here Peter is referring to our home in heaven, where the New Jerusalem will be our home. And all of heaven’s skies, lands, creatures and bodies made of a spiritual substances are not actually “new,” since He created them in the very beginning. But they will be new to us, because our spirits were all created in the womb of this material existence, where our spirits are limited to only their perceptions through senses of flesh.

In this present time on earth, we are waiting for Jesus to return. But our spirits are made of spiritual substances from the spiritual realm that God created, and even now exist in that spiritual realm, even as God limits the perceptions of our spirits to this temporary material existence. Our spirits dwell in heaven, and our home is heaven. We were created to be born from the womb of this earth into the light and vast spaces of heaven. But we must first become able to rightly apply God-like love, must learn how to serve other spirits justly, equitably and wisely, to produce benefits for all. So the elect dwell as imperfect and incomplete infants on earth, for now. Then we will continue to dwell on the restored earth with our God Jesus after He returns. But, after that, and through all our earthly times, we will be perfected and completed at heaven’s gates on the last day, so that we might then be able to serve life in heaven together with Him and our Father. Until then, our spirits on earth must gain as much knowledge and wisdom from God as He makes us able to acquire, by training to do His works on earth, God’s works of nullifying Satan’s works and building up His loving, just kingdom on earth.

The one thing we should not be waiting for is more of the same utter darkness of Roman humanism that we currently see everywhere on earth, with all its lies, delusions, slandering, deceptions, hatred, ruthless sins, criminal governments, injustice, psychopathy, suppression, oppression, emptiness, total futility, hopelessness, stupidity and other evils. Yet the vast majority of churches and synagogues we see today, as well as the institutions of most other religious and secular despots, practice Satan’s carefully constructed anti-God religion of Roman humanism. Therefore, let those with elect spirits, all who are inherently able to practice God-like love, obey Jesus and leave those humanists, letting the blind lead the blind into the eternal pit. Now the elect must forget the lies and sins of the past, see them for what they actually are, so they might gain the truths of Jesus for an abundant life of loving and being loved. At the present time, we desire the restored earth and the heavenly homes which our God Jesus has not yet granted to us, because the appointed times for us will come later. However, until we receive these rewards for our spirits, let us work hard to build up His just, equitable, wise and loving kingdom on earth, while also nullifying the works of Satan and his children. Strive to be “diligent, to be found by Him without spot or blemish, and at peace,” trusting Him to complete us.

First Seal Prophecies

 

Because Paul, Peter and all the apostles knew that false teachers were coming to replace them with a false church when Jesus opened the first seal, when the next era of the earth began, they all spoke urgently to the elect in the true visible church of their day. But their words were primarily directed toward the generation of the end times, for those who shall perceive life on earth during the eras of the sixth and seventh seal. For it would be that last generation before His return that would need to prepare for His return of Jesus and His everlasting visible priesthood of the New Covenant church.

This is why John, in his old age, wrote this to the true church: “Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us” (I John 2:18-19, ESV). John wrote this near the end of the first century, as the time of the initial visible true Christian church of the apostles was ending. By that time, John knew that this first visible church was to be simply a shining example for a future true church, but was not going to last much longer. So he told us God’s purposes for allowing the devil’s fake humanistic churches to replace that first true visible church. God’s purpose was so that “it might become plain” that Satan’s fake Roman churches did not originate from the apostles and, therefore, was not formed by our God Jesus either. Those Platonic Roman humanists entering the true church were actually “antichrists,” not true servants of the real Messiah Jesus. And, over time, the words and deeds of those antichrists would conclusively prove that they actually came from Satan, not from Jesus. For His final true church, which would last to the end of earthly time, first had to eliminate all the deceptive practices of humanism before they could serve as His faithful, effective, wise, honest, just, equitable and loving true priesthood on this earth, so they could guide all creatures toward an abundant life in Him.

Clearly, John was saying these “antichrists” were false religious teachers entering the church, since those “antichrists” lied by claiming to have come from John, or from the other true apostles, or even said they were called and sent by Jesus Himself. And here John definitely was referring to false pastors who taught the doctrines of the extremely popular religion of Platonism, which was at the heart of literally all Roman laws and traditions. These “antichrists” falsely claimed to be “disciples” of the true apostles, in order to gain the trust of foolish souls in the churches. However, we need to realize that not one of the true apostles ever took any disciples of their own. The true apostles were never like the humanistic rabbis of the day, and never developed Babylonian, Persian, Greek or Roman hierarchical systems with human heads becoming teaching and judging authorities that invented their own laws and traditions, so they could replace God as the heads of men. In obedience to Christ’s teachings (e.g., Mat. 23:8-12), all the true apostles simply led the elect to Jesus, calling all of them to become the personal disciples of the resurrected and living Jesus Himself. They esteemed and served only Jesus as the Head Teacher of all elect spirits, not themselves, nor any other human beings. And this is why not a single Scripture ever even implied that any true apostles had ever taken any disciples for themselves; not Peter, not any of the twelve, and not any of the other true apostles.

The true apostles were loving men, common sinners whose spirits were learning the ways of Jesus from the Holy Spirit of Jesus. In fact, some apostles were less esteemed in the eyes of Satan’s world order than common slaves. They were humble among us, always wanting to be with us, and always told their beloved brothers and sisters in Christ to call them by their given names. Not once did we ever see anyone call any of the true apostles, those whom Jesus sent out to perform missions as His assistant teachers, call themselves by any title of esteem, such as “rabbi” or “lord.” Because the real Holy Spirit of Jesus dwelt in the hearts of all the awakened elect in His true churches, the apostles

 

Page 175

Last Days Timeline

 

simply served Jesus together with all their equal siblings, where Jesus gifted each individual with a different and unique role in each local church. And this is why the true church survived severe trials.

None of the true apostles ever stood on a raised pulpit in clerical clothing to set themselves apart from the others in the church, like the pagan Roman priests did, like the wanna-be human gods demanding to be esteemed above all others. For all the true apostles knew they personally possessed nothing in and of themselves to be esteemed. The only gifts they could lovingly give to their family of God came from Jesus. Thus, only our God Jesus, who did all works in and through them, was worthy of being worshiped through admiring esteem and willing service. None but the ignorant, selfishly ambitious, sinful, fake, humanistic apostles strove to be esteemed above others, since they had never known the real Jesus. And when those fake apostles took over the visible church, all the miraculous works of God, all of His loving healings and life-altering personal prophecies, ceased. So this was another sign that those humanistic “antichrists” were not sent by the real Jesus. For all the miracles worked through the true apostles, and through other ordinary members of Christ’s true churches, were done exclusively through the power of their only God Jesus, and entirely according to the will of their only God and Father dwelling in heaven. But those humanists never did His will.

Jesus wanted the very spirits of His true disciples to pray directly to Him, whenever they had any problems, so their spirits could hear His counsel from the mouth of His own Holy Spirit, then act upon His words. All the true apostles and all His other true disciples did this. And Jesus sometimes told them to declare His words to other souls, which were true biblical prophecies, words coming directly from God and expressed in His name, according to His commands and His will. The vast majority of those true prophecies were granted to ordinary individual members of His true churches, for the purpose of exposing thoughts and desires in other individual elect spirits and to lead them toward repentance into the truth. Then there were also prophecies granted to whole churches, some of which were written down and can be read by us in our day, as the New Covenant Scriptures. Then Jesus often told some of His disciples to announce that He was about to do some other specific kind of miracle. So His faithful true disciples then proclaimed exactly what Jesus told them that He would do. And the power of Jesus actually did work that miracle, precisely as He said He would. So all of those miracles were “done” by infantile elect sinners being saved by Jesus, but always in His name, that is, only according to the command, will and power of Jesus, never through any human wills.

But the humanist false teachers who entered the true churches and synagogues cared nothing for the real Jesus, nor any of His spiritually and physically saving works, since all they desired was to be human gods ruling over inferiors. And this is why those fake teachers brought Satan’s religion of Roman humanism into the churches, including their Platonic anthropological doctrines. They wanted the people to think that human beings possessed only one mind, not two minds, only the mind of flesh, not an eternal mind of the spirit which is able to rule over one’s temporary mind of flesh. And, of course, those Platonists also told the people that the voices inside them were mere “forces.” Thus, the elect began to trust only in their minds of flesh, and ignored the concepts which Jesus poured into the minds of their spirits. In fact, the elect could no longer even recognize the voices of their own spirits, and became incapable of even believing the core truths which God placed in their elect spirits at birth, much less the truths which God’s Holy Spirit had taught to their spirits throughout life. Instead, the elect walked entirely according to their minds of flesh, which were taught and trained to suppress the voices of their own spirits and God’s Spirit, and could only hear the voice of Satan’s lying spirit spoken through the humanistic liars whom that devil sent into the fake churches.

Consequently, when the spirits of the captive elect in those false churches heard the voice of God’s Holy Spirit warning their elect spirits about the lies of those false churches, those elect thought that

Page 176

God’s voice was an evil “force” trying to lure them away from the church, since only Satan’s lies from the human gods in their churches could possibly be true, and because their worshiped human gods threatened to expel, murder or even condemn them to eternal hell, if they ever dared to heed the words of the real God. So the easily manipulated minds of flesh in those captive elect would always fearfully rebuke and silence any truth in their own spirits, whenever their spirits began to consider any real truths from God. Thus, those elect also rebuked and silenced the Holy Spirit of God too, as He spoke to their elect spirits. Yet those fake churches allowed them to seek the wild imaginings of their minds of flesh, especially the twisted interpretations of visions induced through extreme fasting or the painfully flogging of oneself, to stimulate the production of mind-altering endomorphins in their brains of flesh, although the human gods censured this superstitious trust in endomorphins too.

Meanwhile, since those deceived and enslaved elect believed that Satan’s spirit was a mere “force” as well, a “force” which their minds of flesh could resist through the power of their own supposedly omniscient and omnipotent “free wills,” without heeding the counsel of God’s Holy Spirit, and without seeking God’s power, their weak, superstitious minds of flesh were easily convinced that the devil’s lies were true, especially when Satan also commanded their human gods to confirm that the devil’s lies were true. Consequently, ever since those itinerant humanistic preachers destroyed the true churches and synagogues during the era of the first seal, none of the false churches they created to replace the true churches have ever been effective in accomplishing any of God’s just, equitable and loving works on earth. None of those churches who preach Roman humanism have been able to actually do anything good in the name of the real Jesus or the real Yahweh. All they have ever done is emotionally psyche up minds of flesh to “believe” that Jesus will obey them through magic deeds.

For instance, I know an old man who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and the doctor could do nothing about it, because the cancer had spread too far. So the doctor give him a prognosis which estimated that his death would occur in only about six months to a year. Now the spirit of this man had served the Lord Jesus for many years, and had even witnessed a number miracles, including a miraculous healing, when Jesus told this man to pray for the healing of four things in the almost dead body of his brother, when Jesus did heal those four things. So this old man, after hearing that he would soon die, gleefully continued to serve Jesus as he was dying, eagerly waiting for the day that his spirit would be freed from his tired and failing flesh. This man wanted to go home, and merely wanted to complete whatever works Jesus would allow him to do one, while he was strong enough and mentally capable of doing those works for His Lord. But, when this man told his friends in the false humanistic churches about his imminent death, some began to immediately pray, supposedly “in Jesus’ name,” for his complete healing from cancer. But none of them actually actually asked our God Jesus about what they should pray for, nor did they ask that old man what his own spirit desired.

When the people in false churches pray for whatever they think is good, rather than seek God’s will and ask God what they should request of Him, are they really praying “in Jesus’ name”? To pray in the name of our God Jesus, the Holy Spirit of Jesus must first command their spirits to pray for what His power is about to do according to His own will, through His own love for the eternal spirit of the recipient of that prayer. Sometimes Jesus tells our spirits to pray for something even before we ask if we should pray for that thing, and sometimes we must wrestle with His Holy Spirit for days or weeks before we receive an answer about what exactly we should request from Him. But, either way, Jesus only answers prayers that are made according to His own will, and only if His power can be used to lead eternal elect spirits to repentance into the truth and a greater ability to love. Therefore, if that old man saw his death as a blessed gift from God, and just another day in his eternal life, since his spirit had grown very weary of living in a body of flesh, were those humanistic “Christians”

hearing God’s Holy Spirit commanding them to pray for his complete healing? That old man loved those deluded souls. But, if their spirits were truly awake, if they could hear and heed the Holy Spirit of our God Jesus, why did they pray against God’s will? Later, if God might reveal that He wants this old man to continue his works on earth, then that old man will pray for his own complete bodily healing. But, until then, it is better to die in Christ than to strive to live through his own will, just so he might continue to do some works for God, which other elect souls can also learn to do in Christ.

In the true apostolic church, whenever Jesus was about to work a miracle or provide a prophecy, He told the awakened, praying, hearing and heeding spirits of His elect, then opened their mouths to announce what He told them to proclaim. Thus, they healed and prophesied “in Jesus’ name.” Doing anything in His name is doing it according to His will, command, authority and power. Jesus works miracles through His priestly family of His true church, through the loving, humble and trusting elect spirits whom He has awakened, taught and trained. And Jesus works all these miracles through the infantile sinners in His church through His Spirit’s love, through His grace, through His very faulty priesthood of the church which serves the world in His name, as His living body on the earth. And He most often does His physical miracles through the “common” people in His true church, not through His teaching and judging elders, so that His elders can spend more of their short earthly lives in the works of praying, studying, teaching and judging. Not only this, but the miracles which Jesus does are always simple and beautiful, necessary for the spiritual growth of His earthly kingdom and His family of elect siblings. His miracles bear only one purpose, to build up the spirits’ love for Him and for one another, and are always done through a spirit’s love for God and love for others, always according to His Spirit’s own commands, will and power. So, even if a loved one’s body of flesh is about to die, because God appointed 100% of all earthly bodies to die, we must not assume that this is against God’s will, and that we must pray for God to heal that one. Rather, our duty is to have awake spirits that listen to Jesus’ Holy Spirit, and pray for what He chooses to do.

Miracles in the first-century apostolic church were never showy feats of magic done on a stage by a human being who thirsted for one’s own glory and to acquire more money. Nor was any miracle of Jesus ever done to convince anyone’s mind of flesh to “believe” in His power, to build up any kind of emotional or psyched-up “faith” in Him. The sole reason that Jesus worked miracles and gave prophecies through His church was to build up His very close relationship with their spirits. And, in that close relationship, His Spirit spoke directly to each elect spirit: (1) to teach each spirit what each needed and should ask Him to provide, according to His will; (2) to command each spirit to ask Him for that specific thing; (3) possibly to command an individual’s spirit to utter the specific words of a prophecy in His name, or to announce that He will do a certain miracle; and (4) to quietly, humbly give that prophecy or work that miracle through His love, in a way which built up His relationship with each beloved elect sibling. Jesus provided prophecies and did miracles in the very same way He grows the crops in our fields, creates a life in a womb or heals through the medicines made of the substances He created to be used for that purpose. That is, all is done through His love for His family of elect spirits. And His miracles of instantly healing, restoring life to the dead or revealing future events are just as natural as all the other daily works He does all around us on earth, since all that exists and all that occurs is through the power of the very same Spirit of God is through His love.

Most churches today experience very few direct works of God among them because, long ago, fake apostles and false teachers took over the true apostolic church. Those liars corrupted the elect who were kept busy with tribulations and distractions in life, which came from deeply humanistic Roman governments and fake churches. False teachers, the servants of the devil, told the elect that they must have faith in them for their salvation, and believe whatever lies they taught about God and His ways.

First Seal Prophecies

 

So those deceivers transformed the true apostolic church into just another one of many humanistic cultic institutions from Satan’s world order. From those early days of the first seal’s era, that Roman humanistic church has ridden on the back of the Roman beast, by adopting its religion of human worship, where church and secular authorities are esteemed and served as gods. They build up their worshiping hierarchies in the same way the pagan Roman elite did in their governments and temples.

This is why the apostle John was also so worried about the church in his old age, as one of the last of Jesus’ true apostles still living. He was witnessing the way in which the false teachers were making themselves into the head teachers, lords and gods of the naive among his people, by teaching the typical Platonic doctrines of the day. So, before he died, John wrote this to the few remaining awake elect in the church: “But the anointing that you received from Him abides in you , and you have no need that anyone should teach you . But as His anointing teaches you about everything— and is true and is no lie, just as it has taught you—abide in Him” (I John 2:27, ESV). John exhorted the last of the true believers to allow their spirits to learn the truths about life and faith straight from Jesus, from His Holy Spirit. For Jesus had freely given His Spirit to all who trust in Him for the knowledge of the truthe. He “anointed” them all. John wanted Jesus to be their only Head, their one and only authoritative Teacher of literally all principles of life and faith. But those “antichrists” had tried to usurp Christ’s authority, to make themselves into the new authoritative heads of all churches.

Many like to say that those false teachers, those antichrists, were Judaizers, attempting to enforce their man-made traditions on the Gentile churches. But, first of all, the vast majority of Judaizers were humanists as well, and had long since rejected God’s Law regarding societal, political and economic structures. Second, John was speaking about antichrists who has once been among the apostles, as disciples sent by the apostles (I John 2:18-19). And the biblical, Jewish and Christian prototype of the antichrist was Antiochus IV Epiphanes of the Seleucid Empire, a Greek humanist of the 2 nd century BC, never any kind of Jew. Also, none of the Judaizers were among the apostles, as their disciples, although many Gentile Romans had been among the apostles for a time, asking them questions and pretending to be disciples of Jesus. Therefore, John was clearly referring to the Gentile Roman theistic humanists pretending to be Christians, men teaching the immensely popular Roman Platonic theological and anthropological doctrines to the naive and gullible in the true churches.

These men, like Antiochus the antichrist, all seem to believe Plato’s doctrines about an impersonal, impassive high god, and rejected the apostolic Gospel about the personal, passionate, Creator God in the “Jewish” body of Jesus, who rose from the dead to personally teach each individual believer about life and faith. As Platonic wanna-be gods, those liars craved an impassive god which allowed them to make themselves into superiors ruling over inferior masses, through their delusions about possessing stronger “free wills” than their oppressed inferiors. The last thing those Platonists wanted was an utterly holy, humble, deeply loving and forgiving Spirit who personally taught and trained each individual elect spirit about all matters of life and faith, and solely for their repentance into those truths. Also, because those usurpers of Christ’s headship worshiped Plato’s false god, the real God condemned them all to delusions, made them too blind to see how the real God’s Holy Spirit dwelt in the human body of Jesus, or how He now dwells with our own human elect spirits in our bodies. Because the people wanted to worship human gods instead of the real God, Jesus handed the entire false church over to a famine, “not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the [Yahweh]” (Amos 8:11, WEB). In humanistic churches, none of the members’ spirits would be personally taught and trained by Jesus’ Holy Spirit for their salvation, until they repented.

As irrational humanists, as the founders of the Great Prostitute church in the era of the first seal, they thought that Plato’s impassive, static, unthinking god was an abstraction of irrational principles in

the sky, and utterly incapable of dwelling in anything physical, certainly not in the human flesh of a lowly Jewish man called Jesus. Thus, they denied that Jesus was God’s Spirit in a body of flesh, as the biblical prophecies said Messiah would be. So John said, “Who is the liar, if not the one firmly denying that Jesus is the Messiah. This is the antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son” (I John 2:22, τίς ἐστιν ὁ ψεύστης εἰ μὴ ὁ ἀρνούμενος ὅτι Ἰησοῦς οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ χριστός; οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ἀντίχριστος, ὁ ἀρνούμενος τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὸν υἱόν). For Platonists taught their humanistic churches that either: (1) Jesus was an ordinary man who was temporarily “spiritually” endowed with God’s approval and power at His baptism, with a kind of supreme enlightenment that pagan Platonists had always sought to achieve through meditations and physical rituals; or (2) Jesus was a mere illusion, an unreal manifestation of god’s rational principles “appearing” in the form of a man’s human body. So Platonists totally ignored the Scriptures, which taught that the Creator’s Spirit would personally come to His priesthood of Israel, and to the world, in the physical body of the Messiah, and that the God who created the laws of all physical and spiritual existence is our spirits’ Father within that Son.

By applying false reasoning, which drew false conclusions by using false evidentiary statements in logical constructs, those false teachers convinced the people that Jesus was a Platonic kind of god. Consequently, in their blind eyes, Jesus could not possibly be the whole of the real, just, equitable, loving “Jewish” Yahweh God, not the biblical Messiah. Also, since John said these “antichrists” or “anti-messiahs” in the church were coming in the “last hour,” John must have been referring to the recent years of his ministry, to the “last hour” of the true, apostolic church, not to the early days of their true church, when Judaizers were their primary concern. Here John was saying that the true church would soon pass away, would be overcome by Gentile antichrists of Satan’s fourth kingdom. Yet he also implied that the true church would return another time, in the sixth era of the last days, just as he later revealed in the Revelation. Since John wrote the above letter sometime between AD 65 to 95, he was indicating that the true church would end soon after that time, at the end of the first century or the beginning of the second century. Then, in the Revelation, he prophesied again about all those false teachers and their false churches, calling them the Great Prostitute and her daughters.

Again, remember the words of Jude (Judah in English, or Judas in Greek, who was the younger brother of Jesus’ body of flesh, a man born of Mary and Joseph, see Mat. 13:55, Mark 6:3), who also warned us about the false church rising up in his day: “But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. They said to you, ‘In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.’ It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit” (Jude 17-19, ESV). Those “predictions” were actually prophecies, that is, the infallible words of God, which His Holy Spirit compelled the true apostles to proclaim in His name.

So here Jude once more spoke of scoffers, just as Peter did. And, again, Jude was warning his true church about about those “scoffers,” implying that they were arrogant false teachers coming into the true church. These “scoffers” proved to be Greco-Roman humanists, like those who had previously corrupted the Jewish Old Covenant church centuries before this, and literally all religions throughout history after that. They would be those who assume that nothing except their foolish humanistic doctrines were worth teaching and knowing—even though those doctrines always caused senseless harm, death and destruction. And, in their arrogance, they mock, suppress and oppress all reasoning against their ever-changing, ineffective, irrational doctrines. Also notice that Jude said these scoffers would be “in the last time.” Jude deliberately used the word χρόνος in the prepositional phrase, ἐπʼ ἐσχάτου χρόνου (“upon the last part of an unspecified time,” or “during the end time”). He did not use the more common word ἡμέρα, as in the prepositional phrase, ἐπʼ ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμερῶν (“upon the last of the days,” II Pet. 3:3). Nor did he say “in the appointed time of the end” (as in, ἐν καιρῷ

 

Page 180

First Seal Prophecies

 

ἐσχάτῳ, I Pet. 1:5). Since χρόνος indicates a general, unspecified and often long period of time, and sometimes refers to all time or time itself, it seems that Jude believed these scoffers would “be” or exist for an unspecified and very long time during the end times—that is, until Jesus returned, since the whole church believed that all false teachers (the “scoffers”) would perish when Jesus returned.

What did these “scoffers” do? Well, first look at how Jude said they would “cause divisions” (that is, he called them οἱ ἀποδιορίζοντες, using a present active participle to indicate that they are “those dividing [the people] by marking out [doctrinal] boundaries’). In context, he was saying that they would divide the church into factions or sects, what we would call denominations in our day, various factions whose lords and heads were men, not the resurrected Jesus. And, before this, Jude told us that their scoffing would be “from their strong desires pushing ahead towards ungodliness’ (κατὰ τὰς ἑαυτῶν ἐπιθυμίας πορευόμενοι τῶν ἀσεβειῶν). Then he told us they would be “soulish, not having a spirit [as their primary motivator]” (ψυχικοί, πνεῦμα μὴ ἔχοντες). That is, they would block or suppress concepts communicated by their spirits through the interface of the soul. They would be men who walked entirely according to the mind of the flesh, never according to the mind of the spirit. And the most “soulish” religion on earth, which forcefully teaches men to walk according to their minds of flesh and to suppress the minds of their spirits, is the kind of humanism which was formed in first-century Rome. At that time, all the apostles were very familiar with this Roman kind of Platonic humanism, and often described it using phrases like this. But, in our day, we call this Roman religion “humanism,” which has two major sects, theistic humanism and secular humanism.

In context, we must also remember how Jude said, “I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ” (Jude 3-4, ESV). So, clearly, Jude was talking about false teachers entering the true church, who “crept in unnoticed” to “pervert the grace of God,” by teaching false doctrines. They corrupted the doctrines of salvation by God’s grace, and denied the power, ability, words and love of the real Jesus. He also said they ate with the people of the church, at their “love feasts” (i.e., the meals that the whole church shared, as a family, after sunset on Saturday evenings, see Jude 12). So these “scoffers,” those whom Jude was warning his people about, wormed their way into the inner circles of the church. For only confessing believers shared the food in their “love feasts” (i.e., the visitors usually left after the discussions of the interactive teaching time, or after some prayers, after the events occurring in the daylight hours).

Now, in Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus' discourse about the last days summarized the first four seals in a few verses. But Jesus began this section with a warning about deceivers who falsely claimed to be Christians, and how they would corrupt His church. Thus, Jesus was telling His people that His true church would be corrupted early in the last days. There would be a successful attempt to deceive it, to lead it astray. That is, the birth of the Great Prostitute church, who would bear harlot daughter churches, was to occur during the era of the first seal. And those harlots would exist until shortly before His return. Then the Gospels of Mark and Luke confirmed that Jesus warned the church about this corruption. These teachings are a little ambiguous, and made more so by some translations of the Bible. Nevertheless, we must realize that these Scriptures definitely prophesied about a great falling away and a total corruption of the true apostolic church not longer after the last apostles had died.

Matthew 24:4-9: “And Jesus answered them, 'See that no one leads you astray. For many

will come in My name, [reasoning that I am the Christ], and they will lead many astray. And

you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take

place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against

Page 181

kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the

beginning of the birth pains. Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to

death, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake” (ESV).

Here Jesus was not actually telling us that these deceivers will claim to be ‘christs’ or ‘messiahs’ themselves. For He said they would come in His name. Most English translations and preachers in humanistic churches imply this, likely because humanists tend to believe they are gods themselves. But, logically, that cannot be what Jesus meant. The Greek text, in context, would indicate that Jesus was telling us that these deceivers, who would come in His name, will “reason that [He is] the Christ/Messiah,” but in a false manner. They will say Jesus is the Messiah, yet lead people astray.

We know this because, first of all, the verb λέγω implies a systematic discourse or reasoning with others, as most serious conversations do. So false teachers, who are claiming to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, will come with false reasoning. Second, Jesus said they would come in His name. And it is not logical for one who claims to come in Christ’s name to also claim to be the Christ at the same time, as most translations and preachers suggest. Next, notice how Jesus did not say that “they might lead a few astray.” Rather, Jesus stated, “they will lead many astray.” And those who claim to be the Messiah or claim to be God only ever lead relatively few people astray, until they are locked up in a mental health facility. Since Jesus prophesied that “many” will be led astray, and He was also talking about true elect believers being led astray, He was speaking about a very effective deceiving church, one that could convince those elect that they were worshiping Jesus, as they were led astray.

Here Jesus also told us that, when we hear about wars and rumors of wars, we must not panic, because “the end is not yet.” And “the end” refers to the last decades before Jesus returns to the earth, to the time which the Revelation called the eras of the sixth and seventh seals. Jesus mentions this because most Old Testament prophecies described the seventh seal’s era, the days just before the Messiah’s second advent and His redemption of the entire world. However, Jesus did not claim that the “leading astray” would occur during the time of this “end.” Rather, Jesus said the leading astray would occur at the very beginning of the last days, and the last days began immediately after His first advent, in the first century. Then the wars and rumors of wars, along with nations and kingdoms rising against each other, followed by famines, were to come after many had been led astray. And, in the Revelation, all the events of world-wide wars and famines would characterize the eras of the first four seals (see Rev. 6:1-8). Then the “earthquakes in various places” was a sign of the beginning of the sixth seal’s era in the Revelation, just before the revival of the true church, which would be pure and overcome deceptions, just before Jesus judged the sins of the earth during the times of the seven trumpets, which all sound at the beginning of the seventh seal’s era. So all these first six eras are the “beginning of birth pains,” each growing more intense and within shorter intervals, until Jesus would destroy the wicked of the earth in judgment, then return to restore the earth for His true elect heirs.

In the next verse (in verse ten), after Jesus summarizes the events of the first four seals, He told us: “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death.” So verse ten must refer to the era of the fifth seal. After this, the “end” will begin. That is, the era of the sixth seal will begin, with a world-wide earthquakes in various places, or can also mean earthquakes affecting the whole world. Of course, there would also be local earthquakes affecting “various places” during the eras of the first four seals, even at the beginning of the last days. But the world-wide earthquakes resulting in the revival of His true church would occur during the era of the sixth seal, to purify and prepare His church for His second advent. And that would be the true beginning of the “end,” when Jesus will be “born” from heaven to His for the millennium. After the false teachers are silenced, He shall return.

 

Page 182

First Seal Prophecies

 

And, just as there are longer periods of time between a pregnant woman’s first birth pains, but shorter times between her last birth pains, the first four eras of the first fours seals of the Revelation will be longer periods of time. Then the last periods of time before Jesus’ “birth” to His church will be much shorter periods of time, but with much more intense pains, culminating in an extremely intense beginning of the seventh seal’s era, just before His “birth” takes place. In fact, from the day the sixth seal’s era begins until the day Jesus returns, that generation will not pass away. The elect born during the era of the sixth seal will not all die before Jesus returns. So that period of time may be only about 40 years, or up to 120 years, since the Scriptures define a generation’s lifetime as that.

Then notice how Jesus told His faithful and awakened elect that they would be delivered “up to tribulation and put ... to death, and ... will be hated by all nations for [His] name's sake.” And, in context, this would occur just before “the beginning of the birth pains,” at a time just before the “end” begins. In the Revelation, the era of the fifth seal is identified as this period of great trouble for the the church, when those who spoke the truth in Jesus’ name would be murdered. And who it is that kills and persecutes the true believers? All Jesus said was that “they” would do this to us. But the antecedent of the pronoun “they” must be the deceivers He previously mentioned—those who entered the church and falsely claimed to come in Jesus’ name, who also reasoned, in a humanistic way, that He is Christ. The prime persecutors of true Christians would be humanistic false chruches.

Mark 13:5-8: “See that no one leads you astray. Many will come in My name, [reasoning

that I am He] and they will lead many astray. And when you hear of wars and rumours of

wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise

against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places;

there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains. But be on your guard.

For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you

will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them” (ESV).

Mark basically repeats what Matthew said and affirms Mat. 24:4-9 here, likely because Mark received this from eye witnesses, like Matthew. The order is the same, starting with the coming of deceivers, who will lead many astray. Again, the order of events begins with the deception of the true church, with the formation of the false church, which was called the Great Prostitute and her harlot daughters in the Revelation. After this, the events in the eras of the first four seals occur in order.

Luke 21:8-11: “See that you are not led astray. For many will come in My name, [reasoning

that I am He] and, ‘The time is at hand!’ Do not go after them. And when you hear of wars

and tumults, do not be terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end will not be

at once.... Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great

earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and

great signs from heaven. But before all this they will lay their hands on you and persecute

you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings

and governors for My name's sake” (ESV).

Luke was not an eye witness of Jesus, and received this teaching from the earlier apostles, like Mark did. So He affirms the order that Matthew gave us. But Luke may have interviewed more than one of the twelve apostles, or may have done so more carefully, with more detailed notes. So Luke adds the comment that the deceivers, who claim that Jesus is the Messiah, will also claim that “the time is at hand.” But this does not necessarily mean that they will falsely claim that Jesus will return soon. For it could also mean that they will falsely claim to be the true church of the millennium. It might mean that they will claim that the time is coming when their fake Platonic church will rule the earth as the

vicarious body of Jesus, and that their worshiped head of their steep hierarchical system is the earthly representative of their Platonic kind of Jesus, offering a Platonic kind of salvation to their people. And, from the fourth century on, the humanistic Roman church has taught that Jesus will not physically return, since they will be the body of Christ ruling during the millennium, as well as other false doctrines pertaining to the prophecies of the last days. Either way, Luke agrees that the forming of the false church will occur first, that the Great Prostitute and her harlot daughter churches will occur first, during the era of the first seal. And this false church will exist until the beast destroys her.

But Luke omits the statement found in Matthew and Mark, about many being led astray. Instead, Luke inserts Christ’s prohibition against following after the deceivers, against becoming their duped disciples under their authority. That is, μὴ πορευθῆτε ὀπίσω αὐτῶν prohibits being led by authorities who walk in front of the people. In context, this bears an ecclesiastical meaning, prohibiting us from becoming disciples of authoritative head teachers to learn their doctrines pertaining to life and faith. Jesus did not want us to become members of false churches who teach humanistic doctrines. After saying this, Luke also referred to the eras of the first four seals. Then Luke spoke about “terrors and great signs from heaven,” which refer to the times of the sixth and seventh seals. And “before” the eras of the sixth and seventh seals, there would be a sign of a great persecution of the elect who were faithful to the real Jesus. The previously mentioned deceivers will seize true believers, attempt to silence them, take them captive to local churches and prisons, or even bring the honest elect before their fellow secular humanistic rulers and judges, to be condemned. And those elect will suffer or die for the sake of Jesus’ name. Since the Revelation identifies this persecution of sanctified elect with the era of the fifth seal, that world-wide persecution will be a sign of the end times, a warning that the era of the sixth seal and its revival is about to occur, followed by God judging the whole earth.

In all the passages above, Jesus began with a warning about false Christians entering the church at the very start of the last days, even before the eras of the first four seals. Jesus wanted us to expect to see deceivers beginning to infiltrate the true apostolic church almost two thousand years ago, not long after the Pentecost. Now, since those deceivers were also to be the ones who would eventually persecute and kill the faithful believers during the time of the fifth seal, we know those deceivers are: (1) a religious cult striving to eliminate the true worship of our God Jesus and all of His real teachings; and (2) they were prophesied and predestined to exist on earth for an extremely long time.

Those religious deceivers, who claimed to believe that Jesus is the Messiah but taught false doctrines to the people, were to exist during the entire eras of all the first five seals. And they were to be the heads of the false churches, who shall persecute faithful believers within their own local church buildings (i.e., local churches and church buildings were called ‘synagogues’ by the Christians in the first century). Therefore, it should be relatively easy to identify them. For, at any time during the eras of the first five seals, any churches that existed from the days after the apostles died, who also began to engage in physical persecutions which suppressed the preaching of God’s real truths, must be the false churches of deceivers whom Jesus warned us about. Thus, if we see such any churches like that, or any “daughter” churches of that original false church, we must obey these prohibitions of Jesus, and refuse to follow after their teachers as disciples. Yet we must never physically persecute these persecutors. For Jesus forbids injustice. God’s Word and true justice are the only things which Jesus endorses, empowers and makes effective. We leave liars alone until they begin to cause some kind of harm to the innocent. Then the true church uses God’s just Law and His truths as the only offensive weapon in its spiritual warfare against enemies, and only through His will (II Cor. 10:3-6).

We expel false Christians and false teachers, or abandon them. We never threaten, beat or kill them. At times, a church may need to use limited and regulated physical force to defend the defenseless

from the unjust, or to stop the physical attacks of stubborn servants of Satan. But, usually, a true church can simply expel active, aggressive false teachers, and it never needs to persecute or kill them. Occasionally, a true church may need to appeal to secular authorities, to their local “kings and governors,” for the protection of their people from the lies, delusions and violence of some of their more violent enemies. However, true churches never ride on the backs of secular authorities, and use the physical violence or threats of manipulated secular authorities to gain political, economic or military power over others, like those humanistic false churches have done for two millenniums.

Of course, the Roman Catholic church is the oldest and chiefest persecutor of those who proclaim God’s truths or walk in true faith. From its beginning, it abandoned Christ’s teachings and replaced them with Platonic teachings invented by corrupt and arrogant men, even by pagan exploiters and enslavers. The thoroughly humanistic Roman Catholic church has exalted and worshiped human gods from the beginning, and even teaches that mere men dictate the decisions and actions of God, by the use of magic sacraments and prayers. Then, if anyone questioned or defied the human lords of this Roman, man-made institution by citing truths from God’s Word to, that church would imprison, torture or murder them. All this happened while their human gods were stabbing one another in the back, striving mercilessly against each other and murdering one another to gain the highest positions of power in their steep, humanistic, hierarchical, organizational structure. So the Roman Catholic church is definitely a false church. There cannot be a shadow of a doubt about this. But the Roman church, first conceived in the second century, is just one of the false churches Jesus warned us about.

Being a persecutor of the honest, faithful, just and loving elect is not the only sign which indicates that a church is false. Any institution which claims to come in the “name” of Jesus, even if it actually does acknowledges that Jesus is the messiah, might be a false church, if their spirits do not guard His true teachings in their hearts, and they do not at least begin to do some of His works spontaneously, through loving spirits and in His power, according to His will. For the fruits of His salvation always begin to manifest with a true saving faith in our God Jesus. And, if an individual or church bears none of those fruits, if they are liars and murderers, they neither know nor follow the real Jesus as His disciples. If anyone’s spirit does not believe His words, then that one does not believe in Him, and does not have saving faith. As for the flesh, it can pretend to be either good or bad, but neither makes much difference. For the mind of the spirit in the heart is what chooses or rejects Jesus. And spirits cannot even begin to guard His words in their hearts, as He commands, if they do not believe His words. If anyone’s spirit hates the teachings of Jesus, but claims that Jesus is their Messiah and Savior, while nullifying, corrupting or silencing His words, that one is an unbeliever and a hypocrite.

Biblical Christianity has nothing to do with a body of flesh partaking in magic sacraments or uttering a magic “Sinner’s Prayer,” even if it is done “sincerely,” with psyched up emotions of that flesh. For all real saving faith is from the spirit, and grows daily in the mind of one’s elect spirit, as Jesus’ Spirit personally teaches that spirit how to love in a just, equitable and God-like way. None but Jesus can actually save and make one into a Christian, into His serving priest and a member of His true church. Also, Jesus’ words of teaching and acts of training will always result in at least some actions of God-like love. If actions of God-like love do not manifest, Jesus is not teaching and training one’s spirit. If one trusts the words of men more than the words of God in the Bible, one is making man into one’s chief god, not Jesus. And if one trusts men, one does not put faith in Jesus and is not being saved at all. For Jesus cannot personally teach a man-worshiping spirit. He cannot save a humanist from human lies and sins. Only spirits striving to find God’s intended meaning of His words in His creations and in His Word, who then guard that knowledge and wisdom after Jesus grants it, who

then protect and provide for His earthly kingdom and let Him wisely train them to apply those truths in their personal lives and relationships, are true Christians, His real disciples, in spirit and in truth.

And the awakened elect never physically persecute false churches or unbelievers. For many people outside of the true church’s priesthood are God’s elect children. Many deceived ones are actually our brothers and sisters, with spirits born of the same Father, with elect hearts that are exactly like our own hearts. And, in their delusions and deception, the elect will commit the same lies and sins as the non-elect, because they learn to utterly suppress the inner conscience of their spirits. In a learned fear of rejection or persecution, the elect can refuse to hear Christ’s Spirit, resulting in much pain and emptiness. Therefore, since we have no ability to differentiate between flesh with elect or non-elect spirits, we must never persecute anyone. Yes, we may apply God’s kind of justice as we judge the motives and intentions of all human beings, but we still provide opportunities for repentance for all.

Naturally, there are also many who do not have elect spirits. Many have spirits born of Satan. And their spirits are always weaker in spiritual matters, since their father is not the almighty King of kings. So our Lord Jesus can easily manipulate or command their spirits and flesh to do whenever He wills them to do. Thus, there is never any need to persecute them either. We can let them live dark, vain lives apart from us, as long as they refrain from harming others. Instead of hunting them, we simply focus on building up God’s just and loving kingdom on earth. Then our almighty God helps us limit their lies and sins. We correct and place acceptable boundaries around their loveless lives, leaving them to pursue most of their worthless delusions in relative freedom. The most we should ever do to the sons of Satan is hold them to natural laws, that is, prevent them from hurting, exploiting or killing other souls through slander, thefts of all kinds, sexual predation and murder. We never force religion on them, since no one can make non-elect spirits trust in Jesus and His words. Through the power of our King, we can only nullify the works of Satan and build just societies where God-like love can thrive, and where even the non-elect can be as happy as they ever could be.

In the true church’s spiritual warfare, we proclaim God’s truth to all men and pray that God’s power might awaken all elect hearts, so their spirits might hear Him teach His truths. At the same time, we realize that only our God, Jesus, can awaken elect spirits. No human being can do that! At the most, we can be used as agents or instruments of Jesus, while He does that work in their hearts, as their oldest Brother, High Priest and King. And Jesus only wakes each elect spirit at the time which the heavenly Father appoints, which may be during life on earth or on the final day. So, if only Jesus can do these inner works, and men cannot, it is foolish, even demonic, to demand that souls must save themselves through magic sacraments or prayers worked by emotions and actions of the flesh. And it is even more demonic to persecute those who do not do those works of the flesh, in the same ways as the Roman Catholic church and its daughter churches have done throughout history. Instead, the elect who are truly awakened and saved must simply do the little works Jesus calls their hearts to do, speaking the honest and true words He teaches to their spirits and performing the just, equitable deeds that He calls us to do, waiting for the power of Jesus to save all whom we serve in His name.

Our preaching simply proclaims whatever Jesus teaches to our spirits, all He compels our spirits to utter. But it is up to Jesus to decide whether or not He will use those words to cause whatever He wills to cause through them, whether those words elicit man’s praise or man’s wrath. We know that many who are trapped in the lies and delusions of false religions, even some Roman Catholic priests and nuns or some pastors of humanistic false churches, are God’s elect children. For those people, as their false churches strives to guard against the real Jesus, allow the real Jesus to walks through the front doors of their hearts, to grant those imprisoned elect genuine moments of light, in real truth and love. Whenever Jesus teaches their spirits to believe certain select truths, and causes them do some

of His just works through God-like love straight from their hearts, this proves they are God’s elect. Thus, Jesus reminds us that it always does more harm than good to persecute Roman Catholics or any other false churches. Persecution is unjust, based solely on superficial judgments, never upon realities, truths or the motives of spirits. So persecutions can only increase the power of evil, while destroying many who are not evil. Consequently, every persecuting church is merely a servant of the evil one, a false church worshiping a spirit who was a liar and murderer from the beginning. Every true church established by the real Jesus is just and loving, albeit never entirely perfect in the flesh.

In literally all humanistic organizations, there will be hierarchies, because all humanists worship human beings. And most of the elite, most of those granted the greatest status and power, will have spirits born of Satan, since humanism is that devil’s own religion, and he prefers only his lying and ruthless children who are most like himself, so he only appoints those ones to serve as the human gods of his other less preferred children. Consequently, almost none of the highest positions in any of the humanistic hierarchies are ever God’s elect. Almost none of the world order’s human lords, heads and gods are capable of anything resembling God-like love, not the kind of unconditional love built on a foundation of real truth. For the chief task of every leader in every humanistic hierarchical structure is to lie, to ruthlessly deceive the people into believing lies, while also warring against all of God’s just, equitable, loving truths, no matter how many innocent lives might be murdered in this process. And they begin with the lie that all their are “good,” “just,” “honest” and “loving” leaders.

Humanistic leaders pretend to be deeply concerned about the welfare of the “little” people. Whether a humanistic institution is ruled by a dictator who commands everyone to worship him, or a wanna-be human god who more subtly deludes the people into worshiping him through a fictitious “free will,” all humanistic institutions manipulate the wills of the people to esteem and serve their human gods more faithfully than all other gods. All humanistic institutions require a “loyalty” to humans which is greater than any faithfulness to the real God or any other god. Therefore, every humanistic institution needs their elite members, and especially the heads of their hierarchies, to be liars that are able to deceive the people into worshiping them. And their elite cannot have any conscience at all, certainly not any inner conscience of the spirit, but not even an outer conscience of the flesh. For all need to directly or indirectly exploit the people, even to death, in ways which God calls murdering.

In other words, the human heads and gods of every humanistic church or institution must be true psychopaths. No humanistic institution can survive long without a psychopathic head, and almost all churches today are humanistic institutions. Satan always raises up his most skillful liars, his most ruthless psychopaths, to be the worshiped human heads of all humanistic institutions belonging to his dark and unjust world order. Yes, Satan allows a sprinkling of thoroughly duped elect souls to become nominally involved in leadership, with very limited authority. Yet Satan only does this to work his deceptions, to make his Satanic organization appear to be “good,” so he can confuse and trap more elect souls in his vile humanistic institutions. Nevertheless, all the real power of all his humanistic institutions is always himself, and administered through the most loveless lying spirits born of his own spirit, created in his own image. And, although most of those demonic souls strive to look like messengers of light, their goal is to subjugate all others through deceptions and delusions.

Nevertheless, we do not physically persecute humanists or any other identifiable groups of people, neither secular nor religious groups, since we never know who among them are God’s elect. Our spiritual warfare is a complicated matter involving the minds of human spirits and how God’s truth affects them. Our war involves inner struggles, exhausting to both our spirits and flesh. And our most critical battles are against spiritual lies working inside hearts. So we speak the truth in love, work for true, biblical justice with mercy for those without evil motives and intentions in their

Page 187

spirits, hope for repentance into the truth, and deny the non-elect any opportunity to acquire any of the god-like power and money they seek. If we tear down and nullify the works of Satan, and build up a just, equitable kingdom of God on earth, lying psychopaths will never be able to harm anyone.

Then, as soon Jesus decides to awaken His elect and to manipulate the non-elect into submission, the battle is won. All we need to do is maintain the freedoms and equality of all infantile sinners in our lands. Once truths reign in a land, there will be true justice, which will allows love to grow in the spirits of the people, in whomever is able to love. After the physical power of Satan’s terrorizing institutions collapse, the truth will prevent them from rising up again. For the soldiers in those vile institutions will destroy one another, without the elect needing to raise a finger to stop them. Yes, we need to shield our loved ones and ourselves from their spiritual and physical weapons, from their lies and delusions that may not be easily identifiable. But very little of our warfare ever actually needs to use physical force. All our greatest and principal battles are inward and spiritual. Once we win on the spiritual front, all is won. Only pagans and humanists conduct unjust warfare with physical violence and intimidation against enemies identified by external criteria, such as by race, culture or religion.

“For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the

weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds .

We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God,

and take every thought captive to [ heed] Christ” (II Cor. 10:3-5, ESV).

While warring against deceivers, the first priority of Christ’s true church is to learn God’s real truths and proclaim them according to His will, to preach with His “divine power.” We need God’s power, not the human power of cunning and deception. Nothing but God’s power can possibly open elect eyes to the real, absolute and immutable truths which God created and maintains, to be effective for the good of all, and to thoroughly free all elect hearts from the bondage of demonic lies. Right now, the only reason those humanistic strongholds remain standing is because the true elect are the only pillars holding up their structures. If humanistic institutions did not have duped elect slaves to bear up their walls and roofs, they would collapse. If any humanistic church had no elect in it, it would need to feed on whatever the elect provided from outside their walls. Otherwise they would perish.

In reality, the children of Satan are only able to destroy, enslave and steal. They are utterly incapable of building up or growing anything of any real value to physical or spiritual life. Yes, the non-elect are often capable of building some physical things. But, due to the loveless motives and intentions of their spirits, all they build can only be used for war and destruction, to esteem themselves or other human beings as gods, which ultimately serves the demonic spirits in Satan’s world order. The non-elect can only produce that which steals life from others, never anything which builds up life. Thus, when the elect leave a humanistic institution, or stop supporting it, the entire humanistic institution soon collapses. Satan’s children are utterly dependent upon the elect. And the non-elect are also subject to limitations set by God, which God usually administers through His awakened, serving elect. Consequently, if we focus primarily upon finding, proclaiming and applying God’s truths, which elect spirits will recognize and will be inherently drawn to as Jesus awakens them, we will surely overcome evil with that good. For those truths will expose and nullify the lies which allow humanistic institutions to take the elect captive, the lies of their false churches or secular institutions. By removing the elect from them, we will effectively destroy them, without bloodshed. We seldom need to physically fight, unless someone physically attacks us. If some physically attack, we may physically defend, but only until peace comes through God’s truth, wisdom and power, as He wills.

After all of this complicated, frustrating, messy and slow progress in preaching truth and exposing lies—after all our prayers and works through love, with many heartbreaks and losses—we usually have no strength left to engage in physical warfare. But the wicked care for no one but themselves, and are not worn out by the spiritual matters they ignore. So they are always ready to physically attack, to gain carnal rewards for themselves. And this gives Satan’s children a distinct advantage in physical kinds of warfare. Still, our faith and hope rests in Christ to keep us pressing on. Our faith gives us a huge advantage over our enemies. For we cannot surrender, but must innovate and fight on through the love we bear for our people. And Jesus will manipulate or utterly destroy a faithless heart or mind, handing it over dark delusions. Jesus can cause our enemies to fight themselves, to even destroy themselves, without us lifting a single sword. We have seen this many times in history.

Since we cannot maintain any kind of strength through faith in ourselves or other human beings, we must place our faith in Jesus, who can do all things. Yes, at times He may call us to take a physical stand against a few of the lesser servants of Satan, those who attack bodies with physical weapons. For some of those lower-ranked servants of Satan inwardly hate God’s truth so much that they are able to ruthlessly destroy our flesh. But, if we must take physical action to resist physical attacks, it is always with a healthy trepidation, with a fear that we might accidentally harm or kill the flesh of elect souls in the process. And, if we need to fight physically, we know it is because we have failed to stop the real attacks of the enemy, if we did not stop the spiritual causes of physical attacks. For none will physically attack unless the wicked spirits of men and demons have first taken captive the minds of those attackers. So our main focus is to pray that Jesus’ power and truths will confine and nullify spiritual lies. Once Jesus frees His truth, it will free the elect and weaken all the non-elect.

Now let me repeat that we should be careful in translating our Lord’s warning in Matthew 24:5, Mark 13:6 and Luke 21:8. Notice how most translations put quotations around the clause, “I am the Christ,” or, “I am He.” By using these quotation marks, they suggest that the deceivers themselves will claim, “I am the Christ.” But how could Jesus say that deceivers will falsely claim to be messiahs themselves, while they also claimed to come in His name? And why would anyone claim to be a messiah during the early years of the church, when those apostles wrote down these teachings from Jesus? For doctrines about a messiah were not known nor popular in the secular Roman Empire during the first or second century, only among the Jewish and Christian churches. And most of the Roman Empire after AD 135, including most Jews, hated anyone who claimed to be a Messiah. Also, the Christian church, even the false humanistic churches, did not seek any messiah except Jesus. So what good would it do for anyone to claim to be a messiah, a rival of thee Messiah Jesus? Anyone who did this back then, or at any time since then, would be dismissed as insane or as a deceiver.

Rather, during those early years, when Jesus said this and when the apostles wrote it down, the mother of all false, humanistic churches was born, and rapidly growing mature. And that false church did claim that Jesus was the messiah, even as they taught the Platonic doctrines of the beast, of the antichrist. Of course, for a time, there were also a few Jewish heretics who claimed to be the messiah, until the end of the second Jewish rebellion in AD 135, at the very beginning of the last days. But almost no one has claimed to be a messiah throughout history, not even after the Bible became well-known over all the earth. Prophecies state that there will be an evil messiah, a beast who is anointed by Satan, along with other anointed evil ones in the end times, during the era of the seventh seal. But claims to be a messiah are generally rare, and did not occur at the beginning of the first seal’s era. Thus, in context, Jesus logically must have been talking about deceivers who claimed that He was the Messiah. In those verses, Jesus was warning about many deceivers who will falsely claim to be Christians. Therefore, the quotation marks that most translators insert should be omitted.
