• the absolute destruction of all the arrogant “no tolerance” policies practiced by humanists, all

that is used to bully the innocent through disguised racism, bigotry against those with cultural

or linguistic differences, unwillingness to responsibly do the work of accommodating the

physically, cognitively or emotionally damaged, and all that refuses to perform the task of

tolerating differences between people through a wise and just means of management;

• justice systems with a primary focus on the restoration of losses and damages to people and

property, which always attempts the redemption of both the lives of the victims and, where

possible, also the lives of the perpetrators, through teaching, training and other restorative

actions, and where justice addresses root causes, accommodates the repentant, and refuses to

allow hate-filled acts vengeance, but takes responsibility for the protection of the people;

• the service of all the people, both the elect and the non-elect, through the just, wise, humble

and truly loving counsel of Jesus’ Holy Spirit, without resisting His Spirit through the flesh.

At the present time, the human gods worshiped in false churches hate to hear that Jesus is the only Head of every true church, and that only He can call, teach, train and send His servants to minister to His people. They also do not want to hear that Jesus sends multiple real teaching and judging elders

to every true local church, some to teach His principles which are useful for developing long-term strategies, some to use those principles in wise ways for the daily management of tasks and troubles in the church, and some to administer the spiritual works of the church. For only some are granted the wisdom to rightly discern the real and whole truth and how to apply it. Then others are better at remembering and using that knowledge in the daily applications. Then God employs all the other elect in every church as well, some to utter the concepts which He pours into their spirits, as personal or public prophecies, some to miraculously heal lives plagued by sin or physical problems, some who are granted a discernment of human and other spirits, some who are granted even a miraculous ability to speak the truth in love through other languages and/or the ability to interpret other languages, and the others with a joyful compulsion to labor at various other spiritually beneficial works for God and His creations, some in more physical tasks and some in more sedentary tasks.

Humanists have always relied on human gods to appoint individuals in churches and governments to various tasks, based on the personal personal preferences, biases, pride, greed, hatred and other fleshy desires of those human gods. Thus, those whom God has created for certain destinies, whom God has also motivated, called, gifted, taught and trained for a specific array of good works, are not allowed to fulfill those destinies. And this has caused an extreme under-utilization of valuable human resources, the abject frustration of individuals assigned to unsuitable tasks, and the extremely inept and often very corrupt appointment of decision-making authorities. Therefore, for hundreds of years now, God has been causing the rejection of those humanistic systems where human gods assign positions and tasks. Each generation of the elect is more firmly demanding wiser “merit based” appointments, and some elect are even beginning to acknowledge God’s control and gifting of individuals for certain tasks, regardless of the artificially designated hierarchical classes into which the humanists have cast those individuals. Some elect now insist that God does not discriminate between races, physical attributes, gender and so on, but instead gifts individuals for His own good and loving purposes and plans. Then God also demands that a church or government must freely and fairly provide all the required education, facilities, equipment and personal needs of the individuals God has chosen for the positions and tasks which will benefit His family of humankind and all life.

Yet these far more just and equitable demands from the elect effectively obliterate the unjust and highly destructive humanistic hierarchical systems, leaving the human gods in them without the means to maintain their illicit power and stolen incomes. So those humanistic secular and church leaders began to join forces many centuries ago. Since ancient Roman times, the human gods who surreptitiously and unscrupulously obtained their positions of authority against God’s will, in both false churches and governments, have worked together to combat the truths which God grants to His elect. And now the non-elect, those who have stolen positions of decision-makers authority in false churches and in governments, have joined forces so closely that they are almost indistinguishable from one another. Both secular and church leaders ignore outright deny God’s laws requiring the separation of church and state, laws which Jesus fulfills through His true elect. Some governments in North America, Europe and other places, are cooperating with false churches to enforce their own false interpretations of the Old or New Covenant laws of faith on other religions, which God forbids.

I repeat, God has only ever allowed secular authorities to administer laws of the flesh for the people outside of His priesthood of Israel, only a subset of His natural laws required for order and peace, and has never allowed theocracies ruled by wanna-be human gods. But those humanistic fake Christians in false churches and governments want to completely take over the just, equitable, biblical systems in governments and even in true churches. Then, if they are unable to do this, they deliberately slander and sabotage good governments and true churches, to destroy them, if possible.

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

For they believe that their destruction of the good and just will enable their psychopathic human gods to gain power over the whole land. For, to them, it is better to destroy the lives of good people than to lose their “right” to illicit power and money, as human gods, until they destroy themselves.

During these times of persecution in the fifth seal’s era, the elect need to be aware of the humanistic deceptions of Satan’s world-wide Roman kingdom existing today. For the persecution of the saints is not just about violence, but also involves dehumanizing slander which many elect somehow believe. The pseudo-biblical and pseudo-rational rhetoric of the humanists in false churches and governments seems convincing, with its truncated logic based on lies, false premises and manipulated evidence. But we must not trust them or their words. For Jesus commanded us to be on guard against those blind non-elect, not only to merely fact check them, but to also abandon them to their own folly and allow them to fall into the pits they dig to trap others, until they bring destruction upon themselves.

The truly believing and loving elect need to remain sane. And the far more rational minds of their spirits need to manage their minds of flesh, to keep all the thinking in their souls firmly rooted in the spiritual and physical realities God created. We need to find the real truths, know them thoroughly, use our God-given wisdom to discern between right and wrong so we can rightly apply those truths, then do the works of Jesus together with Jesus, through His Holy Spirit’s loving and wise counsel, both the works of nullifying the works of Satan and especially the works of building up His loving, just and equitable kingdom of true churches and governments on this earth. Although all the true elect are now endangered by the persecutions of the non-elect during this fifth seal’s era, God still provides many elect with opportunities to do His good works. And the elect must not commit sins of omission by forfeiting those opportunities. For the purpose of this fifth seal’s era is to dichotomize the elect from the non-elect, prepare the world for the end times. The elect must become educated now, so they will be ready for their final separation from the non-elect during the sixth seal’s revival. Then the dichotomizing process will be completed, and God will judge the unrepentant non-elect during the seventh seal’s era. Only after all this will Jesus be able to return to rule the entire earth.

Since the various factions of deluded theistic and secular humanists see all “outsiders” as non-human entities, they feel no empathy for those others. In fact, they often portray innocent people who oppose them as worse than “filthy rats” and “demons,” so they can feel justified, or even proud, when they torture and kill the innocent. They even dehumanize some members their own cults, sects, factions and nuclear families, whenever it gives them some advantage. They betray and murder their own, since their faithfulness to their human gods, and to the alluring lies of their gods, is far greater than their love for their own people, whom they only love falsely and conditionally. And, since there is no real love in them, and they refuse to hear any truths against their beloved lies, we must not act as though they are able to love and acknowledge the truths which nullify their beloved delusions and lies. It is impossible to appeal to the “better nature” of the non-elect humanists. But we can appeal to the inherent cravings for love, truth and justice in elect spirits taken captive by non-elect humanists.

Right now, before the eras of the sixth and seventh seals begin, the separation between the elect and the non-elect has not yet been completed. And this means more work for the elect during this fifth seal’s era, in a way that differs from all previous eras. This dichotomization process actually began on the day of the Pentecost in AD 28, and has been developing evidence for 2,000 years, all that is now stimulating the division between the elect entering God’s kingdom and the non-elect in Satan’s Roman kingdom. So there is now a very strong impetus from Jesus’ Holy Spirit causing the elect to separate from the non-elect humanists, and to reject their delusions and lies. It is not yet to the level of uniting the elect and drawing them into the one true priesthood of the real Jesus. But that next step of forming the true church is coming soon. So now we need to continue this work of dichotomization

Page 311

together with Jesus, so as many elect as possible will join us during the sixth seal’s revival, and so as many elect as possible will be saved from God’s wrath during the judgment in the seventh seal’s era.

If we love the real God more than anyone else, we will guard His words that He freely grants to our spirits daily, which shall cause us to love His creations more each day. We will even grow to love some of our enemies, caring for their welfare, beginning to understand how they came to be what they are, and knowing there are elect siblings among them. With this real kind of seeing and honest love, we more easily forgive the failures of others too, because the light of Christ’s truth reveals our own failures that He has forgiven us. But, invariably, whenever we heed humanists, love is harmed.

Satan’s exalted human gods love themselves far more than God, more than anyone or anything else. And the words of the foolish human gods ruling over the devil’s hierarchies make the people in each hierarchy believe they are superior to all other factions in all other hierarchies, and all other people everywhere on earth. Then those rulers also drive their people into a deep and irrational hatred of anyone who speaks against their faction, especially the honest elect who expose the inferiority of the fake superiority invented by the rulers. And, since the Creator’s Spirit is always turning the spirits of His awakened or awakening elect towards truths and realities, all factions of humanism eventually grow to hate those elect. Humanists will only tolerate the elect whom they can enslave and silence.

Humanism is Satan’s favorite religion for a good reason. For, whenever that devil can cause one of his puppets to gain enough power and wealth to suppress all opposition, that puppet god can easily manipulate the entire lives of all the faction’s non-elect with his own delusions and lies. Then that devil’s puppet can send his non-elect puppets out to conquer more power and wealth for himself and destroy more of his opposition. As Satan’s chief puppet grows stronger, he will also slander all his opposition until the loveless lives of his followers are entirely consumed by his own hatred, lies and delusions. In this way, Satan’s chief puppet creates a kingdom which is an exact replica of hell. Of course, God has always limited the devil’s ability to conform the whole earth into a hell, by causing divisions among the non-elect, so they cannot unite under just one of his puppets. And God divides those non-elect by keeping some of His elect children awake enough to oppose those chief puppets.

Now, a time is coming when God will allow all the non-elect remaining on earth to finally unite under just one of the devil’s chief puppets, under a possessed human man called the beast, but only for one brief battle. In the meantime, humanistic factions of all kinds will continue to persecute and even kill the elect through the blind, irrational hatred caused by the delusions and lies of their chief human gods. And, at the present time, the elect have not been joined together, and are not yet able to protect and save one another from the persecutions of the factions in Satan’s Roman kingdom. In fact, there are even some elect in most of the various factions of his Roman kingdom, and many of those elect actually partake in the persecutions of their elect siblings who oppose their human gods. There are many brain-washed elect in theistic and secular sects and cults of humanism. Thus, the elect have deadly, hating enemies even among themselves, with no safe places anywhere on earth.

So these days of the fifth seal are very dangerous for any of the elect whose spirits are awakening and beginning to see the spiritual battles raging everywhere on earth. Then, because those elect still think like the humanists, they become afraid, frustrated and overwhelmed, because they feel that they must use their “free will,” as almighty human gods, to somehow overcome Satan and his deadly minions. Those elect believe that the only way the forces of evil can be conquered is through their own human works, which is a humanistic lie. In reality, human beings are utterly incapable of ever harming or limiting the devil, and certainly cannot strick any kind of lethal blow against him. But our God Jesus can, and is constantly limiting Satan’s power on earth. This war is not ours to win.

 

Page 312

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

This era of the fifth seal’s persecutions do indeed have many physical dangers. Yet its spiritual dangers of deception, betrayal and the silencing of our exhausted, overwhelmed and terrified elect spirits are, by far, its worst aspects. But the only reason those spiritual blows hurt us so badly is because we somehow believe that we ourselves must win this war, through out own human power. So, to survive these persecutions, we must first understand that this war is a predestined educational experience for the teaching and training of our elect spirits. It is a temporary perception of a time which is totally and completely controlled by the power of our Creator God. And God has already won this war from the beginning of time. So we do not need to worry about how we will win it.

This spiritual war shall be won by God, whether or not the elect do anything. But our God Jesus calls His army of elect siblings to simply do the small tasks that He personally assigns to each of us every day. As His disciples, the only works the elect need to accomplish are to hear, observe and carry out the simple, daily tasks of training which He assigns to each individual. Then God will use His power to cause our good deeds to strike deadly blows against Satan’s kingdom, even the seemingly most insignificant acts of kindness, such as giving a cup of water to one insignificant thirsty soul. For deeds like that can change the perspectives of the souls who receive them. Then the changes in mood can cause them to make a different decisions that day, choices which subsequently affects a chain of events that topple an entire empire. Or one offering of just five loaves and two fish in the name of Jesus may feed five thousand hungry men, women and children, through His enabling power. Then those five thousand might change the course of history, God willing. Now let us stop thinking like the humanists and trust in our saving God. And let us simply do what He calls us to do each day, all the little tasks which nullify the works of Satan and build up God’s kingdom on this earth. Yes, we need to learn His wisdom, to speak truth to illicit powers, and not impulsively blurt out incomplete truths and principles in stupid ways that get us killed. However, if we take the time to let our spirits absorb the concepts that Jesus’ Holy Spirit pours into them, and simply say or do whatever He calls us to do that day, we will each grow stronger, more joyful and more loving. We will see His victory.

As for the devil’s physical persecutions, they are terrifying and require us to do some physical works to counter them. Some elect must lose all to flee from their violence. Some elect need to sacrifice all to help their siblings flee into safety. And some elect need to risk all so they might bear the sword of God’s legitimate governing bodies against the persecutors. But we should not excessively fear death, like the lost souls do. For we must realize that our elect spirits cannot possibly die. To live in flesh on earth is profitable, because we can personally partake in building up the illustrations of truth and love which God creates to teach and train elect spirits through earthly experiences. But to die in the flesh is definitely a greater gain, if one’s elect spirit is fully awake. For awakened elect spirits will not sleep after their flesh is removed, but go directly to the gates of heaven. And, while in flesh on earth, those awakened elect spirits have already begun to peer into spiritual space-time continuum, even very clearly at times. So those elect recognize that the life in that other realm is the source of all real beauty in all life on earth, and they long to be with Jesus within all that fulfilled heavenly life.

Elect spirits lose nothing when their flesh dies, not even a hair on their spiritual heads. All our true selves, all our love and all the love we received, all we learned and all our memories of beauty, will forever remain in the minds of our living spirits. And the awakened elect spirits who have truly loved during their lives on earth, who built their love on real truth, will not even sleep after they die, but will be lifted up directly to the gates of heaven. So this is a great comfort, and a powerful incentive to continue the works of our God Jesus back here on earth. The opportunity to partake in the works of our eternal heavenly inheritance is well worth the deaths of our flesh. For our permanent home in heaven is the only true reality, while our lives on earth are only real in the sense that God makes our

 

Page 313

Last Days Timeline

 

perceptions of earthly life real through His power. That is, material time and space are perceived by us through material energy. And material energy is actually the non-material, spiritual power of God manifesting in a different form. Then our perceptions of this material space-time continuum are not perceived by our minds of flesh, since our material minds of flesh are merely perceptions of material time, space and energy. Our extremely limited minds of flesh are earthly perceptions, not the minds which perceive earthly perceptions. Rather, the eternal, rational, never-forgetting minds of our spirits are what perceives all these earthly experiences, for the teaching and training of our infantile spirits.

Because all humanists love some kind of human god or gods more than God, and more than all others, one cannot be a humanist and worship the real God at the same time. Often, a humanist’s high god will be oneself, especially if one can become a head of some kind of humanist organization. And that kind of humanist may even be willing to die for the hate-filled and arrogant delusions that exalt oneself in the eyes of other humanists. And that one will never simply do what is right, good and loving unless it results in some kind of personal gain. Literally all these human gods are sinners who always, without exception, lie to themselves to delude themselves, then lie to everyone else as well. And most humanists can become convinced by those lies that even their most valuable, beloved friends and family members are enemies of their human gods, so all those innocent people must die.

Eventually, especially in a crisis situation, humanists always become willing to betray and kill their own people, because they nurture a greater love for the delusions and lies of their human gods than for anyone or anything else. But we all have humanists in our nuclear and extended families, as well as in our communities, work places and so on. So we will be betrayed and falsely accused by them, and will need to respond to their lies and delusions. Thus, Jesus said this about the era of the fifth seal, which we are experiencing today: “And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. And brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved” (Mark 13:11-13, ESV).

All awakened elect in our day have experienced this kind of persecution, even in their own homes, through a hatred caused by the lies of humanists. These lies and delusions all involve the worship of self, other human gods, money and ultimately Satan himself, but are often disguised as religious or political truths which those liars claim to be essential for order and physical survival, although they only ever cause chaos, poverty, pain and death. All the elect whom Jesus spiritually awakens have seen their own families deeply divided too, where humanists in the family will promote bitterness and hatred at every opportunity. As we learn more about God’s wise justice and love, those who are most dedicated to their human gods rage more against us, with a purer hatred. Yet, once awakened, the elect—even the elect who are being taught by Jesus in unconscious ways—cannot be entirely silenced by the persecutors. For, once Jesus’ Holy Spirit begins to teach His truths to our spirits, He will not stop, but continues to call. He reminds our spirits of Him and His ways throughout our lives.

Jesus works inside us without ceasing, and absolutely nothing can prevent our almighty God Jesus from doing His works. His words and works in our spirits define our very essence when we begin to know Him, because He was the One who created the inherent attributes of our spirits in the first place, and knows how to shape our eternal destinies perfectly. So only the flesh can die. But our spirits cannot. Our willing spirits shall forever think and love, eagerly pressing on toward our goal of completion and perfection in the ways of our God, laboring for calling and destiny He created us to find in full. Once God’s light exposes the utter worthlessness of delusions in Satan’s world order, we cannot be tempted to cast aside the gifts of love and truth in the abundant life He is granting to us.

Page 314

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

Then the more we receive from Him, the more He gives. And there is no turning back after we pass through the gate which opens the eyes and ears of our spirits, after our spirits become cognizant of our real Creator God and His ways. That gate is shut, locked and guarded by invisible angels. And there is no path to return to the ignorance of our previous life ruled by the strong desires of our flesh. After the empty, futile delusions of that old life are exposed in God’s light, those vile, slimy things can never again be embraced or esteemed by our awakened, seeing hearts. Through pain, confusion, exhaustion and fear of the flesh, the panicking mind of flesh may silence an awakened elect spirit in its soul, withdraw from Christ and His truths temporarily, so the flesh forget our Lord’s inward teachings for a moment. But awakened elect spirits themselves are never able to allow our flesh to indulge in that kind of self-serving apostasy forever. Jesus’ love and His truths will always overrule our earthly lives, and our almighty God will complete all His works inside us on that judgment day.

Persecutions can wear us out and make us carnal, provoking frustration, rage, anxieties, fears and other strong emotions in our mind of flesh. Incessant lies, hatred and unjust violence can deaden our souls, stoop our backs and drain our strength. But we will find quiet Sabbath places to fellowship with out God Jesus, who suffered the same. He will quicken our spirits and gather our loved ones to our side in joy. There will be His just and honest love pouring out from our spirits again, eventually.

Jesus comforts us with the assurance that He will not allow us to fall into the traps of our enemies, but will make us able to stand upon the truth in opposition to their delusions and lies. In the quote from Mark (13:11) above, it says the Holy Spirit will tell us what we will need to know, and counsel our spirits. He will pour true and just concepts into the minds of our spirits, so we will speak sound wisdom and truth to the faces of our false accusers. In other Scriptures, it says Jesus will speak through us (Luke 21:14-15), as we are taken before church councils or government officials. Still other Scriptures say it is the Father who will do this for us (Mat. 10:19-20). This simply means God is one. The Creator of all spiritual and physical existence is a Spirit, who is the Father above all, Jesus among all and the Holy Spirit dwelling in the hearts of all His children. And He cannot fail.

God provides us with all the real truth we need, the principles of justice and love required to build up His kingdom on earth, and reveals it at the critical times it needs to be uttered. And, if He delays this revelation at times, perhaps those are the times when it is best to remain silent. God’s Spirit does this partly by reminding our spirits about what He has taught us throughout our lives, and partly by granting our spirits new revelations. If the minds of our flesh learn to hear and receive the counsel that the minds of our elect spirits receive from God, and do not suppress the minds of our spirits, we will be able to effectively refute every lie of every enemy, although at the cost of our flesh, at times.

Yet we still wonder why the citizens of Satan’s world order want to persecute the elect, as well as other innocent souls, since their actions seem so irrational and self-destructive. After all, the elect hearts innately and continuously desire to express just love in harmless and ultimately beneficial ways. The elect are the light of the world, the salt wages of the earth, the most valuable of all people. So why do humanists so passionately hate and murder the elect, who prove to be so beneficial to them? Well, the real reason is that there is no such thing as a rational humanist. Yes, humanists of all kinds boast about being the only ones who are truly rational and wise, or even righteous and just. But look at them. What is good about the senselessly brute Babylonian, Persian, Greek and Roman slave societies? What rational about the murderous fascist, communist and capitalist humanists? What is so loving, just, equitable and godly about the human gods worshiped in any of the Islamic nations?

All humanists are Romans. So all are committed to the irrational worship of their sinful, foolish selves and other wretched, weak human beings. All are so committed to the worship of sinners and

 

Page 315

the self-serving lies of those sinners that they lie even to themselves, to justify their own crimes and the lies of their other human gods. Therefore, because the elect refuse to worship their fake gods and do not believe their lies, but expose both the liars and lies with realities and truths granted to them by God, it threatens to crumble the delusions that humanists cherish and live within. And the non-elect humanists cannot live in the spiritual and physical realities which God created all around them, since realities do not allow them to delude themselves into believing they are gods. Yet the chief desire of the non-elect is to be their own gods, and even the gods of other people. Of course, the elect who are taken captive by humanists may respond to the truths which the awakened elect proclaim, and often repent into those truths. Yet, since non-elect humanists cannot repent. So they slander and kill the awakened elect who are able to voice the truth. Consequently, the awakened elect need to speak the truth to humanists, for the sakes of the captive elect among them, but must also suffer for doing so.

Non-elect humanists become obsessed with their desire to destroy the awakened elect who dare to utter wise principles of beneficial truths, hoping that the realities and truths uttered by those elect can be silenced, so they can continue to live their delusional, unjust, destructive lives without opposition. Yet God immutably wrote those truths in all His spiritual and physical creations from the beginning. So they can never be erased. They are in the air that we breath, everywhere and inescapable. Then, if our God Jesus utters a truth into a deluded human society, God will never let that truth die. It will remain there forever, working continuously into their lives, with increasing wrath striking against those who resist that truth. We have seen this occur in Satan’s fourth Roman kingdom for almost two thousand years now. Each truth God dropped on it has progressively grown and conquered Roman lies, in spite of the fierce resistance of those humanists. Biblical principles of justice and equity have become so entrenched in the world that even the most massive persecutions of the Roman humanists have not been able to stop them. None of the Roman humanists, in spite of all their conquering and world-wide wars, have been able to eliminate biblical truths about God’s kind of just, equitable love.

Because the almighty Creator God has released His truths into the world, the lies of humanists destroy themselves along with their persecuted victims. And, as soon as humanists begin to succeed in destroying all of the valuable elect in their lands, to silence their truths, their own destruction soon follows. For the realities and truths of God cannot cease to exist, even if humanists could somehow kill all who proclaim them. His realities and truths will continue to destroy their delusions and lies, whether or not some man proclaims them. Satan’s world order and the beast’s religion of humanism are self-destructive, and will always destroy themselves as they try to destroy the awakened elect and the truths they proclaim. For Satan is a destroyer, and Roman humanism is the ultimate destructive religion invented by Satan, the religion of his already doomed demonic messiah called the beast.

All that a non-elect humanist cares about is the gratification of pride, greed and the most selfish lusts of the flesh, all that destroys one’s own life and the lives of all whom that one touches. Thus, the religion of humanism, and all the other false religions which focus only upon the flesh, always war against the constructive and beneficial realities and truths which build up just love and an abundant inner life. Since God is love, and God is not material but a Spirit, our creation by God is for love and for our elect spirits. We need the kind of love which accommodates the perceptions of the flesh that God created through His power, but can only be received or expressed through our spirits. And, since the only purpose of living in flesh on earth is to teach and train elect spirits to love in the same just and equitable way that God loves, the only way we can thrive if we base our lives upon God’s kind of love, which is built on a foundation of the realities and truths He created in heaven and on earth.

The essence and nature of God is a just, pure kind of love which produces good for all, with equity. Then the Creator of all that is real and true, defined this reality and truth in His Law. His Law, rightly

Page 316

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

interpreted, reveals how to love God and His creations. But humanists want to be gods who own all of God’s creations themselves, who rule over all instead of God, who can subjugate, enslave, exploit and destroy God’s creations for their own purposes. So humanists hate God’s own interpretations of His own Law and hate God Himself. Likewise, they hate all who love God, even unconsciously, all who even begin to follow His humble ways of serving His good creations through love, according to His Law. And they especially hate the awakened elect, since the counsel of Jesus’ Holy Spirit works in them and through them to fulfill His Law, to more fully comprehend it and apply it in wise ways.

God’s kind of love always limits the pride, lusts and greed of the flesh, nullifies all of the pretentious delusions of man’s glory, and suppresses the selfish ambitions inherent to all forms of humanism and worldliness. Thus, committed humanists, who all love the darkness of their lies and delusions more than the light of God’s created life-giving truth, will never tolerate real love or true justice expressed through an elect spirit’s love. Non-elect humanists will always hate the real God, whose core nature is genuine love, as well as all the elect who are made in God’s image. They hate the elect because God causes His elect children to allow their flesh only enough accommodations to keep their flesh healthy and functioning properly, so they can use their flesh to express the love of their spirits. This makes the hedonistic humanists very angry because they want no limits placed on the lusts of their flesh. But it also makes the religious humanists furious because their rituals and rules are designed to worship their human gods and demons through the flesh, by placing excessive and incredibly stupid limitations on the flesh, or even by punishing the flesh, so they can feel the mind-altering effects of endorphins in their brains of flesh through starvation and pain, which they call “spiritual” worship.

Since the elect learn to do nothing which either caters to the most selfish lusts or religious pride of the flesh, the non-elect cannot tolerate them. For the non-elect cannot live for the love of their loveless father, nor can their spirits hope for their eternal home in hell. Thus, the non-elect have absolutely no incentive to live for anything spiritual. And this is why they live for their flesh alone. Some foolishly desire a complete and unlimited gratification of their flesh, and nothing else. They want to become gods with slaves serving every whim of their flesh. Others want power, to dominate through dictates against the flesh, to force the subjugation of the flesh, which somehow makes them feel as though they are gods whose almighty wills overcome God’s material creations. Either way, both kinds of non-elect focus solely upon the flesh. And Roman humanism is their ultimate religion because it caters to both kinds of non-elect, and can even unite both kinds against God and His elect.

Even though this focus on the flesh kills their own flesh and the flesh of others, humanists cannot help but pursue the self-destructive, irrational lies about themselves and their flesh. And the non-elect become obsessed, handed over to delusions, for the destruction of their flesh. Then, if an elect soul is trapped in a humanistic religion, and also attempts to gain the approval of those humanists, that elect soul will also be handed over to delusions for the destruction of the flesh, and must repent into God’s humbling truths as soon as possible. For destruction and death invariably follows after the gratification of selfish ambitions, pride, greed, sexual lusts and other desires of the flesh. Knowing this, it is impossible for a loving elect soul to remain silent about the insanely destructive focus of humanists upon the flesh. For that lie kills their elect siblings, the non-elect humanists themselves and many other innocent souls. It destroys God’s creations and life itself, all that it touches on earth.

Roman humanists will always detest God’s kind of love, true love built entirely on inward honesty and truth. For a loving elect spirit’s honesty shines the light of truth into the hate-driven darkness of the delusions and lies, which humanists love more than anyone or anything else. For humanists want to deceive themselves into thinking they are gods who own the real God’s creations. But honest love knows that all sin, even oneself, then unconditionally loves sinners, and acknowledges that only the

forgiving God can own and judge souls. Love exposes and destroys hierarchical systems, where deluded superiors rule over superior inferiors, and nullifies exploitative financial slavery in those systems. Consequently, the spirits of the human gods shall always irrationally and vehemently hate the real God, His truth, His people and all that is related to Him. And the true elect must seek to free souls taken captive by the lies and delusions of humanists, so they can build life and love on truth.

We also need to be aware of how Satan developed his religion of humanism through four kingdoms, until it became so effective through the fourth Roman kingdom. Of course, the main principle of human gods owning God’s creations and using them to for one’s own purposes, to one’s own glory, came from Babylon. But only a tiny elite practiced this belief. Then Persia basically enhanced this vanity with external tools of commerce and war, which empowered the elite human gods. After this, Greece honed and codified the lies and delusions necessary for self-deception. But Rome developed the system of instilling the deceiving principles of humanism into all the people. In the Roman Empire, both the elite oppressors and the common masses were bound by humanistic creeds forced upon them, shoved down their throats. And the penalty of an excruciatingly painful slavery and/or death was reserved for any who refused to believe even one of the principles of those Roman creeds.

Throughout history, Roman humanists have sought to bind souls to their creeds of dark delusions and lies, with stern warnings that all who break their creeds will cause destruction and hell. Yet the delusions and lies of those creeds are precisely what has been causing destruction and hell on earth throughout history, everywhere on earth, to this very day. For, during the last two millenniums, those who lived by those various humanistic religious and secular creeds have enabled the most powerful and wealthy to oppress and enslave the vast majority in their own societies, as well as ruthlessly murder literally millions of outsiders, especially during this last century. Those humanists try to make their creeds sound noble and good, as though they are for God and country. But all their creeds are for a liberty which enslaves, for a freedom which imprisons the soul, for a truth which is a lie invented by malignant deceivers, for a patriotism which betrays their nations, for a peace which breeds never-ending war, for an order which is ruthless chaos, and for an invented past glory which never actually existed. In reality, the elite design those creeds to feed their own pride, greed and lusts of the flesh, at an extremely high cost to everyone else in their carved-out kingdoms. And now those creeds, which they force all their people to obey, have almost destroyed everything upon this earth.

From the day Jesus ascended into heaven, the awakening and awakened elect have questioned and opposed those humanistic creeds, in every religious and secular faction of that Roman religion. But, now that we see God’s wrath about to fall upon the whole Roman kingdom, everywhere on earth, it is time to speak the truth to those illicit powers more carefully and forcefully. It is time to do the works of our God Jesus, together with Him—to nullify the unjust, ruthless works of Satan’s Roman religion, then build up God’s just, equitable, free kingdom in its place. We must make Jesus our one and only Head, so all authorities serve His creations as His faithful servants. Now, more than ever, we need to heed the counsel of Jesus’ Holy Spirit. And He counsels us to reject the creeds of human gods in all humanistic religions, governments, political parties, businesses, tribes and families. For all humans are fallible and ignorant. So all their principles are either incomplete, partly in error or outright wrong. Thus, when our God reveals those inadequacies, we must not stubbornly stand upon an oath to uphold the principles of a creed invented by a sinner. Rather, we must repent into God’s revealed truths, complete all we missed or neglected, correct any errors we made, and cast out all that we have found to be wrong. We must denounce loyalty to men and their foolish, destructive creeds, so we can learn to actually become truly faithful to our wise, just and loving God instead.

Elite humanists always develop creeds to maintain the loyalty of their minions. First, the elite convince their minions that their loved ones will all die, and their entire humanistic kingdom will collapse, if they fail to uphold principles of the creed. Then the elite prove that their creed is wise and effective by showing off their palaces and self-indulgent luxuries, which their exploited minions made exclusively for that tiny elite minority. So their minions are very impressed by the glory of their elite, and somehow think that their creed must be right and good, since it created such a great and amazing utopia—which is exclusively for the elite, while the vast majority of those minions suffer deprivation and die in wars used to gain the elite more power and wealth. Thus, the duped minions defend the creed and hold one another responsible for keeping the creed, although they never hold their elite rulers to account for breaking the creed. And, if any minion fails to keep the creed, all the other minions subject that one to some kind of torture or terrifying death developed by the elite, to terrorize them all into submission. Roman humanism specializes in developing creedal systems like this, both religious and secular creedal systems, empty principles and petty conventions invented by their elite to control behaviors of the various lower classes in their artificial hierarchies.

Yes, the non-elect will always value their creeds, especially their humanistic creeds. They will often value their creeds (and the human gods who invented those stupid creeds) more than their own lives, and certainly more than the welfare of any outsiders who refuse to swear an oath to uphold the principles of their own particular chosen creeds. For creeds make the non-elect feel special, set apart and above other siblings in the family of humankind. Right or wrong, good or evil, a creed is a form of exalting oneself over others. And all the non-elect want to be esteemed above others, as human gods. Since the non-elect do not care who or what they destroy by following the principles of their creeds, the mere opportunity to delude themselves into thinking they are special gods is enough for them, no matter how objectively ignorant and evil the creed may be. There can be no reasoning with them about how their creed’s principles of discrimination, racism, exploitation, oppression and other sins cause only great harm and offends the just and loving Creator. No matter what, they will believe that creed is right. Some religious humanists even believe that God, who forbids oaths and creeds, will punish them if they obey Him by denouncing their illicit creed, although the opposite is true.

So the elite humanists use this blind loyalty of their duped non-elect minions, this desire to become their own gods through the principles of a creed, to gain a physical advantage in their war against God’s elect. For elite humanists can get their blind fools to do virtually anything to anyone, in the name of their ruled factions, simply by citing the “critical necessities” of their creed. Any lie or form of violent coercion can be used by them to take advantage of others for the profit and power of their elite who rule over their factions. Of course, lies and violent terrorism are effective in subjugating minds of flesh to the elite. But these are always short-term solutions, because lies are fragile vapors which dissipate and vanish into the darkness of infinite empty space, and threats against the flesh end whenever eternal human spirits leave that flesh. So the elite must constantly invent new lies and their power ends when they die, or when their dupes die. The fact remains that only solid, eternal, immutable, spiritual, moral truths created by the real God remain forever, and only the solid, eternal spirits of the elect are able to believe and apply those principles through committed, honest love, if God is willing to awaken, teach, train and empower those elect spirits. So God’s army of elect have been raised up to war against Satan’s Roman kingdom, and to build up His just and loving kingdom, since the beginning, with this more permanent, effective strategy, which has always won in the end.

God’s awakened elect mostly war in spiritual/moral ways, although they are encumbered by their flesh and sometimes need to use physical force to stop the works of Satan. But humanists only war directly through their spiritually unbridled and unencumbered flesh alone, in ways that always end in

the loss of their lies and their flesh. So the elect bear a massive advantage in this spiritual warfare, because they are directly attacking the spiritual lies and delusions which are the root causes and the entire impetus of this war. And, if the entire essence of Satan’s power is destroyed, then his physical power is also destroyed. And Satan has been losing this war since the beginning, because the only power he can muster against the elect is through the dissipating lies and temporary strength of his minions’ flesh. The unjust, irrational, vengeful, hierarchical and demonic power of Satan’s Roman humanism has been fading for centuries. And God’s just, equitable, democratic principles of freedom and love have been growing in strength since the beginning. So now, in this era of the fifth seal, that devil is fighting back with all the physical power he can muster against God and His just, loving elect soldiers, trying to kill every true Jew and true Christian he can, in a vain attempt to silence the truths of the real God. For Satan knows the end times are coming soon. After God awakens the elect of the earth through the sealing of His Holy Spirit during the sixth seal’s era. Then His wrath will utterly crush Satan’s Roman kingdom into dust. Finally, when Jesus returns, He will cast Satan into hell, along with his army of fallen angels, including the demon Mammon. Thus, all warfare will end.

Jesus builds up an inner conscience within the spirits of all His elect siblings, by continuously teaching and training the minds of their infantile spirits through their daily perceptions of earthly life. This inner conscience, together with His inner rebukes and counsel, prevents the elect from lying and committing other sins, if their minds of flesh do not silence the voices of their spirits in their souls. In time, the elect spirits that are free to speak within the chambers of their souls learn to love in truly just and equitable ways, without making false judgments against the innocent, and will love other sinners like themselves, all who lack spiritually evil motives and intentions for their lies and sins. In time, these elect grow more adept at applying the truths that Jesus teaches to their spirits, in wise ways which prove effective against Satan and his minions. Then they begin to win battles that nullify that devil’s works, and also build up aspects of the just, loving kingdom of God on earth.

But humanists lie, cheat and fear-monger, since their weak, irrational lies and delusions of humanism can never entirely overcome the truly effective, rational truths that God’s omnipotent power upholds. And they definitely refuse to spend their precious time and money on wise and effective solutions for the troubles in their land, since those troubles are the sources of wealth and power for their elite. So humanists must try to silence those proven truths and wise solutions through their brute, ignorant violence administered through the power of their flesh. They know that they must cheat in every way possible, even by lying about their lying, to prevent the truth from exposing their destructive lies. And they know the intentional lies of their propaganda is always able to stir up their dupes into a murdering rage, to physically silence the rational, honest elect for a time. Yes, those lies cause futile deaths and massive suffering, but the elite can keep and even increase their wealth and power through it. Thus, in their minds, those cycles of lies, violence and destruction are worth it. Yet God’s truths inside those elect will remain there, even until those truths will be shouted from the rooftops.

Now the awakened elect know that lies and unjust violence gain nothing for their beloved people. So they seek truth and wisdom to solve the troubles of their people, and this takes much time, effort and sacrifice. But, since humanists can invent a lie in a moment, without much effort at all, then send a wave of violence to wash away all the works of the elect, those humanists possess a distinct physical advantage over the elect, but only for temporary gains at a great cost to their people, and to the elite themselves. For the eternally persistent truths eventually expose all lies and delusions, and its light burns away the deceivers. Furthermore, humanists are never entirely united and strong, since liars also lie about one another, and war against one another through their lies. So God always causes the

faithful elect to win in the end. The myopic methods of humanists may win some skirmishes. But God shall win the whole war, and will grant victories to His elect in many critical battles as well.

If God does not awaken an elect spirit, if He chooses not to open that spirit’s eyes and ears, that one will not be able to know God and perceive the spiritual realities which God created all around one, nor even many of the physical realities either. For only the mind of an elect spirit is capable of sight and reason, through honest and rational observations. And this ability of an elect spirit to see reality and hear the Spirit of God is called “faith,” which is nothing like the humanistic concept of “faith” preached in humanistic churches. To humanists, “faith” is imagining whatever lies and delusions one desires. But, in the Bible, “faith” is an elect spirit’s ability to see realities and hear God. “Faith is the realistic mind set for what is hoped, the evidentiary confirmation of the pragmatic works not being regarded” (Heb. 11:1, from: Ἔστιν δὲ πίστις ἐλπιζομένων ὑπόστασις, πραγμάτων ἔλεγχος οὐ βλεπομένων). Faith is an awakened elect spirit’s “mind set,” which is firmly grounded on spiritual and physical realities. So an elect spirit hopes for what is real and actual, what one has diligently studied and inquired about, what God has taught and revealed to the mind of one’s spirit. Then God’s Holy Spirit trains the elect spirit, by requiring that spirit to do good and effective works through love. But Satan’s world order disregards, mocks or even opposes pragmatic, realistic, productive works done by elect spirits through their bodies and minds of flesh. Nevertheless, the realistic mind set of elect spirits, which wisely understands how those works will result in good effects, does not back down. Rather, the realistic mind set or faith of the elect defends those good works, provides good reasoning and evidence to justify and promote those good works, and confirms their claims.

But only an elect spirit is capable of truly perceiving spiritual and even physical realities, and only a small subset of those realities, only in the measure that God chooses to reveal them, if and when God chooses to reveal them. So this gift of revealing truths to the elect is extremely valuable, and God has always sent awakening or awakened elect spirits to every land on earth, to provide this benefit to its people through those elect. But humanism sabotages these gifts of God, by convincing the elect that they must only think with their minds of flesh, which disables their ability to see realities. For our weak minds of flesh cannot even perceive a tiny fraction of physical realities existing all around us, and absolutely no spiritual realities. Then the irrational brain of flesh can never honestly reason through and apply even mere physical truths, and soon forgets anything it learned if it ever does. So the humanistic “faith” of blindly believing the lies and delusions fed to them by non-elect human gods in their false churches, has caused much damage in this world. As for the minds of the non-elect spirits who teach that humanistic focus on the flesh, they all hate the light of truth. So none of those religious leaders ever have any motive to develop right and wise conclusions about either physical or spiritual realities. So now, before the revival of the sixth seal’s era, it is time to return to a biblical definition of faith, and let our elect spirits trust in all we hear and learn from Jesus’ Spirit.

Forget all the nonsense from the humanists. Do not even try to screw up an emotional “faith” in your mind of flesh, in an attempt to blindly “believe” that the magic sacraments or magic form prayers administered by magic men will somehow save you. For that kind of “faith” is artificially manufactured in the mind of flesh through emotionally appealing delusions and lies, which quickly evaporate, making it utterly worthless. Only the steadfast faith or trust of an elect spirit in the power and words of the Creator’s Spirit, whom that awakened spirit can both see and hear inside the spiritual space-time continuum, where both exist in reality, can save an elect soul. Only the kind of faith which enables an elect spirit to be taught and trained for eternal life in that spiritual realm can save. Only the biblical definition of faith actually produces the wisdom to apply God’s genuine truths in the ways God meant them to be applied, for the good of His people and His other creations.

The flesh is so weak and unstable that it can think something is true one second, then believe it is false the next second. So no truly useful kind of faith is possible through the mind of flesh. Thus, no matter how much the cunning rhetoric and professional music of a church may make the flesh feel good and “believe” the lies of humanists, it is all an exercise in futility. For their is no point in even trying to use physical force to make anyone’s mind of flesh believe anything. Rather, our work is to simply proclaim whatever truths God has revealed to our spirits, then wait upon God to open the eyes and ears of other elect spirits to see and hear those truths. For only God can save. Man cannot.

The elect know that only God can build up faith in their spirits, as their spirits learn to trust His teachings more each day. So true, biblical faith is a gift of God alone, and cannot be artificially manufactured by humans. And it is through this true faith that the elect continue to fight the spiritual warfare which nullifies Satan’s works and builds up God’s just kingdom. And the true elect fight this war primarily with truth, which often requires very little or no violence, and seeks to restore losses rather than take revenge. Since all we lose, even our physical lives, belong to God, then none but God bears the right to take revenge for the losses of what belongs to Him. And His vengeance only destroys deliberate sinners who refuse to repent into the truth. But He forgives all the repentant, and died to forgive our unintentional sins, which include sins done in ignorance, the intentional sins that became unintentional through our repentance and other sins. If the more rational, steadfast elect spirit repents into the truth, even if the impulsive flesh sins seventy times seven times a day, God will forgive that one. But we cannot forgive one whom God has not forgiven. For only God is wise enough to see the hearts of sinners and decide who to forgive based on the repentance of each spirit.

So humanistic false churches, from the Catholics to the Wesleyans, all build their little hierarchical sub-kingdoms to fool the elect into a fake salvation which perpetuates the injustices of Satan’s fourth Roman secular kingdom. They and other humanistic religions all aided and abetted Satan’s attempt to conquer the world, to spread unjust humanistic hierarchies and class systems throughout the world, along with the demonic, destructive spiritual laws and principles of that evil religion. Those fake churches created lies and delusions about faith, salvation and forgiveness, all are centered upon Platonic anthropological doctrines designed to help minds of flesh suppress elect spirits. Yes, those humanists allow non-elect spirits to directly worship Satan, but they never allow elect spirits to ever directly worship God. So it is time for the elect to understand all this, and abandon those humanists.

In this era of the fifth seal, we are growing in knowledge and awareness of the extreme inadequacies of Roman humanism, partly because we are being forced to confront its evils. For we experienced an exponential increase in their spiritual, emotional and physical persecutions from both their theistic and secular sects. And now we realize how they have not only persecuted the awakening elect but, throughout history, have always slandered, dehumanized, tortured and murdered each other too. We are discovering hidden truths under the white-washed pages of humanistic propaganda; finding out that the “heroes” among their human gods were actually sinful liars, or even outright psychopaths.

From the beginning, humanists have never formed even one truly united organization or subject kingdom within any of their four kingdoms, but have always had human gods stabbing one another in the back. Nothing they have ever offered in any of their sects has been worthy of consideration as a viable alternative to pure biblical Christianity. On the other hand, we have seen pure biblical faith produce small groups of elect led by God in a complete communion, where the most gifted toil in the background, unseen and unheralded, while the least works are most praised but done humbly with a knowledge of complete dependency and inadequacy, where all labor together as effective and loving equals in the family of God. Only these elect have been truly free from fear, free to act according to an inner conscience formed by God, free to express His created realities and truths, free to pursue a

Page 322

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

God-given calling and destiny, free to grow wise, and free to love. Humanists have never even tasted such unity or any of those freedoms, much less provided them for their people. The few good works that humanistic societies have ever accomplished were all through their cheap, hybrid simulations of biblical principles, which were always ruined by the lies, greed and selfish ambitions of human gods.

Thus, it is a wonder why humanists keep trying to build their fractious, unjust, oppressive and self-destructive kingdoms, and why the elect keep on serving as the only useful slaves who maintain the logistics of those humanistic sects. Since humanism always proves futile and self-destructive, why would anyone keep striving to create its dark, worthless sects, factions and subject kingdoms? For even the non-elect know, with all certainty, that they would live longer and more freely according to the truths God has revealed in all His spiritual and physical creations from the beginning. And any so-called “success” they might gain in a humanistic system will be empty and cause their own demise, then destroy the lives of other souls too. Even if humanists manage to build their oppressive physical kingdoms, they become their own prisoners, guarding themselves in dark cells to protect themselves from other human gods who want to stab them in the back. If they “succeed,” they only make more misery for themselves, and for all whom their poisoned works may touch. So why do it?

Jesus told us why God hands them over to such blind delusions that they continue to do such insane and self-destructive things. He said many false prophets and other deceivers would come during the eras of the fourth and fifth seals. And many of these will claim that their lies come from God or were taught in God’s Word. They shall declare that God said what God did not actually say. And they will lead many astray. For the deceived and deluded who are led astray will not love the truth, which is why God shall hand them over to those delusions. Then they shall all love the lie more than the truth, which will cause the destruction of the flesh for those who do not repent. For a time, some of God’s elect may even believe some false prophets and deceivers. But not as many elect will believe them as the non-elect, and most of the elect will not believe those lies in a permanent way. For the elect can never permanently believe lies. All the elect eventually repent into the truth, either on the earth or in heaven. And the revival of the sixth seal’s era will awaken most of the elect into the truth. Only the non-elect spirits will permanently embrace and love those lies, and will even cling to them eternally.

Thus, by allowing the lies of false prophets and deceivers during these eras of the fourth and fifth seals, God has begun to effectively separate the just and loving elect from the unjust and loveless non-elect. And this process will reach a climax in this current era of the fifth seal. The distinction between the elect and non-elect will grow clearer and more evident, distinct enough to enable the revival of the sixth seal’s era. For remember how Zechariah also prophesied about these end times. He prophesied that God will command His priesthood: “Come! Come! Flee from the land of the north” (Zech. 2:6, WEB). And this command will be fully fulfilled, through His irresistible power over the spirits of His elect children, causing them to awake, see and willingly flee. Then we must also realize that this “land of the north” in the prophesied end times was Babylon, which had been conquered by Persia in Zechariah’s day. And Persia would soon be overtaken by the other two kingdoms of the beast, by Greece and Rome. Thus, God will not call His awakened priests of Israel to forsake the physical dirt covering that land, but the religion of that land, to flee from humanism.

Just before Jesus returns, the non-elect were to persecute the elect more than ever. Through this process, which has almost been completed now, the false churches will be delineated from true churches and the elect from the non-elect, just before the era of the sixth seal. This current era of the fifth seal may be a very dark and fearful time, but necessary for God’s plan to lead His true elect out of Satan’s Roman world order and out of the false churches. Now “lawlessness” is increasing. The laws of God are being utterly disregarded by most people, by the religious non-elect in in humanistic

Page 323

Last Days Timeline

 

false churches and by the secular non-elect, due to the words and works of false prophets and other deceivers, which includes the false pastors, rabbis, imams and so on. Whole nations are now making laws which oppose God’s natural and biblical laws, as they slander God’s laws, attempting to make them sound unjust. False prophets and false teachers, often through mass media, twist and distort God’s laws in ways that make them falsely appear to be ruthless and unjust—although God’s laws, rightly interpreted, embody literally all the just and truly loving ways cherished by all the elect.

Nevertheless, both this lawlessness and the opposition to lawlessness through the truths which Jesus’ Holy Spirit grants to the spirits of His elect are necessary at this time. Because of the lies, the non-elect spurn God’s wise, effective, just and loving ways. But, because of the truths countering those lies, the elect draw closer to God and His ways. And the lies are exposed as irrational and trite, more than ever in our day, while the truths are fleshed out in all their complex and harmonious intricacies.

For instance, humanistic fake churches say that all abortions are murder, so the women and doctors who abort babies should be imprisoned or even executed, even for medically necessary abortions. And it is true that God forbids some abortions, because abortions are tragedies which do kill human lives. But God also permits the necessary killing of human lives, including abortions, and His laws are not as stupid and trite as those humanists think. For God’s Law regulated miscarriages, which are abortions, and allowed an indeterminate fine of money or goods for causing the death of an unborn child, but allowed the maximum death penalty for anyone who killed the mother (see Ex. 21:22-24, and a legal court’s judgment against the mother’s killer also depended on motives and intensions, as always). Thus, if it comes to making a decision about saving a mother’s life through a medically necessary abortion, this is permitted by God’s Law, although it is a traumatic experience and the mother needs to be comforted. But anyone who intentionally causes the mother’s death, by not allowing a medically necessary abortion, is a cold-blooded murderer. Likewise, we must consider that intentionally killing a mother or her child either directly or indirectly, and either internally or externally, is tantamount to murder. For Jesus considered the dehumanization of any sibling in the family of humankind to be murder. So, if any individual or group causes a mother to become completely overwhelmed by her parenting tasks, due to a lack of resources and help, in a way that causes her or her child or both to become “dead” inside, or to prematurely physically die, then the party who caused this is a murderer in God’s eyes. Therefore, all the “neighbors” of every mother and child are responsible for providing for her care and the welfare of her child, or they could be culpable for murder on the judgment day. And, when it is not possible to provide adequate care for the mother and child, and the pregnant woman is at risk, then an abortion may be necessary to save her life from a future premature death. So the act of judging by God’s Law is complex, requiring a knowledge of many interwoven principles of love and the wisdom to apply them correctly. And humanists do not possess nearly enough knowledge and wisdom necessary to make right judgments.

The world’s love is growing colder each day. And the humanistic false churches are not nullifying the ruthless, unjust works of Satan, but are lying and murdering together with his Roman kingdom, just as Jesus prophesied. Those fake churches are the persecutors of those striving to proclaim God’s real truths. They are not building up God’s just, equitable kingdom on earth, nor His true priesthood of Israel, which Jesus sends as His light into all the world, to represent Him to the world and to pray for the welfare of the world to His face. The Great Prostitute and all her daughters reject all God’s ways, and reject His just, equitable love. They worship the demon Mammon, and love to oppress the poor through his ruthless currencies. Thus, they cannot love and worship God at the same time. So now it is time for the loving elect to reject their false claims of serving God and being “holy.” It is time for the elect to worship the real God in their spirits and in His truths, according the way His

own Holy Spirit interprets His own Word in His own personal teachings to our spirits, as our one and only Head Teacher and Lord. Surely the end times of the sixth and seventh seals will fall on us very soon, within one or two generations. So now is the time to flee out of both the secular and theistic Babylon, especially from its final Roman form. And I am certain that God will cause this to happen.

In the end, this loveless and lawless world history will cause the elect to love God more than ever before, to more tenaciously cling to Him and His loving ways. The one who endures to the end, who does not fall away into lies and murder, will be revived. Soon the elect will no longer oppose the truths of God’s Word, no longer believe false prophets and deceivers, no longer heed the carnally alluring doctrines of fake preachers, will stop fearing and hating, but let the God-like love in their spirits rule over their souls. Enduring is being saved. Salvation is the spirit remaining alive, just and loving. But enduring to the end is not a matter of will power, not by human power or strength. All Scriptures confirm that our salvation is the work of our God Jesus alone. Thus, enduring to the end can only be through our spirits’ faith in the teaching, training and other works of Jesus’ Holy Spirit.

Matthew 10:16-23 (ESV): “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves,

so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Beware of men , for they will deliver you over

to courts and flog you in their synagogues, and you will be dragged before governors and

kings for My sake, to bear witness before them and the Gentiles. When they deliver you over,

do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will

be given to you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father

speaking through you. Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and

children will rise against parents and have them put to death, and you will be hated by all for

My name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you

in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the

towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes” (ESV).

So few seem to truly understand these words of our God Jesus. Of course, the persecuted sheep here are His true disciples. But the wolves He is warning us about are not the typical movie villains such as overtly criminal gangs, dictators of foreign countries and thugs with scars on their faces. Rather, Jesus is talking about persecutions by established governments with court systems, and by local churches (συναγωγαῖς, which traditional churches translate as “synagogues,” seemingly to falsely indict the Jews and turn the attention away from themselves). The wolves are self-serving deceivers in politics and religion. As Christ’s disciples, we must remain as lowly, discreet, unseen and deadly to the wolves as serpents, yet as innocent of all malice and wrongdoing as doves. We are to “beware of men,” and not worship men as the secular Romans and humanistic Jews did in the first century, when Jesus spoke these words. They blindly trusted and served esteemed men, which is worship.

This also means we are not to be like the foolish elect who think there is “some good in everyone,” because they allow themselves to do evil, yet know there is some good in themselves. Nor are we to be like the non-elect who think everyone is inherently evil to the core, that all are willing to murder the innocent if the price is right, because they know they are like that. Rather, let the elect realize that all who dwell in flesh are sinners and all are capable of even murder, but only elect spirits are truly capable of just and God-like love. So there is some good in some sinners, but also no good in others, and we must beware of all human beings who walk according to the flesh. Then we must be even more on guard against the non-elect who walk according to their lying and murdering spirits, who seek to devour the sheep alive. And to survive, we must find other awake elect, who have begun to walk according to their spirits, who hear and follow the counsel of Jesus’ Holy Spirit. For He will lead us to other awakened or awakening elect, into a well-fed flock guarded by His almighty hand.

Last Days Timeline

 

Both secular “courts” and false local churches will persecute us. Both those in authority, the ruling “governors and kings,” and the common people outside of the one true church will persecute us. And they want to war against us because we come in Jesus’ name, that is, because we uphold His truths according to His will and authority. These deceivers want to silence or even murder us because they know we are so right that God Himself endorses what we say, and also realize that what we say will nullify their illicit “right” to do evil. Yet, even as they attack us, we must continue to “bear witness before them,” and never cease our testimonies regarding the truth. The concepts of loving justice and equity, all that Jesus’ Holy Spirit has poured into the minds of our elect spirits, must be testified, at first in private, then from the rooftops. For it is His truth that shall set us free, bring justice to all and save innocent lives. Truth from God is the foundation of our love and our salvation. We can only fulfill our prayers, begging for our Father’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven, through truth.

We are to let our spirits receive the counsel, comfort, assurance and guidance of the Holy Spirit, so we can answer our false accusers rightly. And all words from the real Holy Spirit are the words of the real Jesus, just as the words of the real Jesus are the words of the real heavenly Father. His words may not always save our flesh from punishment or death, but the escaping and disseminating truth always work effectively for the advancement of justice through God-like love, which eventually sets souls free. Also note how Jesus prophesied that some elect will hear the Father so clearly that the Father will speak through them during the persecuting events occurring in this current era of the fifth seal. And this means that a semblance of a true New Covenant church, with Jesus as its only Head and Lord, will begin at this time. In our day, I cannot find a visible true church, local or otherwise. But not finding evidence of it now does not prove that it does not already exist. Or it may be forming now, even as I am writing this book. But one thing is certain, there will need to be some kind of true church before the revival of the sixth seal’s era. For our God Jesus has always used human agents to teach and train His people in the past. He used Adam to prepare Abel and Seth for service to Him, the body of prophets to prepare Israel, and His twelve to prepare the apostolic church. Thus, it seems that He will also raise up a true church to prepare the world’s elect during the sixth seal’s revival too.

Notice that the immediate context of this passage includes the judgment day is (see verse 15), as well as His second advent (verse 23) and the end times, when Jesus takes peace from the earth. So this is definitely an end times prophecy, not really about the eras of the first four seals. Of course, the judgment day will occur after the earth and material universe are destroyed, so it draws our attention to the very end of all earthly things. But peace will be taken from the earth when His wrath judges the living during the end times, when the plagues of the sixth and seventh seals strike the earth. Then Jesus will return after He completes His judgment of Satan’s fourth Roman kingdom. So here He was specifically prophesying about the very last days, the end times not long before His return, and primarily about the persecutions during the fifth seal’s era, just before the generation which will live to see God’s wrath during the eras of the sixth and seventh seals. So this prophecy of Jesus is just a more detailed description of what He taught in Matthew 24:9-13, and alluded to in Revelation 6:9.

Now, since Jesus prophesied that there would be preaching to the Jews in “the towns of Israel” during these fifth seal persecutions, and until the day He returned, this implies that a significant number of Jews were destined to live in Israel during the era of the fifth seal’s persecutions, prior to the end times. And many Jewish people did return to their homeland at some time during this era of increased persecutions, that is, in the fifth seal’s era. In fact, the Jews returned to Israel at the height of the persecutions against all who bear God’s name, as the whole world was persecuting all who advocated for biblical principles of true justice, equity, a biblical democracy and so on. More Christians and Jews were murdered during the last 150 years than throughout all the rest of history

combined. And this does not even include the millions of hidden elect who were murdered for Jesus’ name indirectly, because they spoke His truth, although they did not yet consciously know Him. So this was a detail of this prophecy which actually did come to pass. Some might deny that Jesus did prophecy the return of the Jews during the fifth seal’s era. However, if there were no Jews in Israel today, those same people would certainly be very quick to point out how this prophecy proved false, because there were no Jewish towns to hear the truth proclaimed during the end times. So, yes, this part of His prophecy was and is being fulfilled, and so will the rest of His prophecy come to pass.

Here (Mat. 10:16-23) Jesus was giving this prophecy to His disciples, as He sent those somewhat spiritually mature men out to serve us in His name (see Mat. 11:1). But He taught that His other disciples would also be persecuted, betrayed and killed in the same way they would, even by family members. Jesus was saying all believers will be persecuted throughout history, until He returned, not just those first twelve missionaries. Then He advised His disciples to flee persecutions, not to physically war against those who attacked them. And this applies to all truly elect believers as well, although God does allow legitimate governments to bear the sword against criminal or in just wars to defend the innocent. For Jesus did not come to establish a Roman type of hierarchical kingdom through the sword, but to build up a just, loving, heavenly kingdom within the spirits of His elect.

Now, since Jesus is God, and God was never a pacifist, this means: (1) His persecuted people will be His peace-loving disciples, not warriors, those who value life and do not want to kill their enemies, and the kind of laborers that Satan’s Roman brutes will find easy to kill with impunity, like sheep among wolves; and (2) Jesus does not want His disciples to stubbornly continue to preach to their persecutors, attempting to forcefully convince them to accept the realities and truths they hate, but rather flee from them when they resist the truth, knowing that our God Jesus has handed non-elect persecutors over to delusions for the destruction of their flesh. Jesus is never going to grant the spirits of non-elect persecutors the ears to hear His truth. Rather, we find ourselves among those who hate us because of mundane things, such as when we are shopping for groceries or tools. Then, as we are there, we proclaim His realities for the sakes of the elect trapped among them. But, after that, we return to our safe-havens, where our just God rules over the freed elect, or anywhere else that our persecutors cannot reach us. For we are not to think that our own cunning, strength and wills can somehow convince or lure non-elect spirits into actually worshiping God by repenting into the truth.

Our God Jesus did not even allow His most mature and adept disciples, His hand-picked assistant teachers, to think they will somehow be able to save all their persecutors, since the hierarchies that persecute us are invariably led by Satan’s hand-picked non-elect children. And a human spirit is never able to force another human spirit to see the truth. Only God bears that kind of power. So, if we have proclaimed the truth and some irrationally hate and attack us, we can assume that they are the non-elect, even if some of those persecutors claim to be Christians or Jews in our local churches or synagogues. Then, since we have nothing to do with judging outsiders, we leave those unbelievers alone to live their own unjust, wretched, deluded lives. We do not resist them with force, such as by calling the police on them, unless they are harming or threatening the innocent in some unlawful way. Rather, we simply move on to preach to the elect spirits God made ready and willing to hear.

There is no amount of hard evidence, sound reasoning, effective wisdom and proven truth that will ever convince a deluded non-elect spirit to forsake death and embrace life in Christ. As for threats or violence, that is the specialty of Satan, not God. And using force to subjugate others into following a creed is the way that devil’s fourth Roman kingdom spreads its religion, certainly not the way our God Jesus causes His elect to love the truth. Yes, the non-elect children of Satan believe lies because they were deceived. But they want to believe those lies and want to be deceived. The non-elect will

Page 327

not repent into the truth just because someone proves that they believe a lie through deception. For they hate truths. Since they want to lie and sin, telling them the truth will merely cause them to more adamantly justify their lies with more lies and more false reasoning, while disregarding or corrupting all true and real evidence. Also, it is God who has handed them over to delusion. So, resisting God’s will by trying to convince them to believe the truth is utterly futile. And trying to impress them with some kind of external show of goodness and godliness is worthless. For the non-elect have blinded themselves to even the most loving, holy, powerful miracles from God, have either attempted to deny that their own eyes saw them, explain them away or slander them as demonic powers at work.

And make no mistake, there are indeed many non-elect deceivers, racists, exploiters and selfishly ambitious people of the world order who want to persecute any of the elect who proclaim any truths that are endorsed by the name of Jesus. Most of us know only our insulated little worlds of families, work associates and other acquaintances. And the elect will usually and instinctively form closer bonds with other elect souls, so that other elect become the only kinds of inner lives they truly get to know. But do not make the mistake of thinking that the inner lives or spirits of all the others are the same as your own elect spirit, that all are spiritually sloppy and often inwardly damaged sinners, but all have some capacity to love, just as you do. Believe me, and believe our God Jesus, that is simply not true. I would estimate that almost half of the entire population of the earth are the non-elect, with absolutely no ability to love. Nor will those non-elect ever seek truth, justice and equity through any kind of love. And, no, their spirits are not loveless because of physical genetics or environment, but because their spirits were actually born of Satan, and made in his loveless, lying, murdering image.

The elect tend to merely exist beside the non-elect, even members of their own nuclear families, without ever actually peering into their inner lives. The elect trust and work with those non-elect, always assuming they are the same as oneself. But, eventually, the inner lives of the non-elect will expose themselves. Yet most elect dismiss this hard evidence and think a ruthless, callous disregard for other siblings in the family of humankind is just a quirk of personality caused by nature or nurture. So the elect continue to live next to those non-elect souls as though they are just a little bit different. But those non-elect are not just a little different. They are very different, and will never let your spirit say or do anything truly just and equitable in a way that our Creator God would ever endorse with His name. They will try to slander, destroy or even kill you if you do. So, if you see a spirit that is only capable of a highly conditional kind of love, disregards truly unconditional love as stupid or naive, readily ignores principles of justice and equity for personal gain, relishes in the power of money to bend others to one’s own will, hates anyone who opposes one’s own cherished lies and seeks carnal esteem for worldly accomplishments, then flee from that non-elect persecutor.

Since the non-elect always want to look outwardly good, they are often very nice to be with, even quite fun at times. But, if you begin to see through their thin veils of friendliness, distance yourself from them as soon as possible. For they will try to maintain your focus on things of the flesh, so your spirit will not hear or heed the wise, just, loving counsel of God’s Spirit. Then, if you do hear and express God’s real truth in any way, a “good” non-elect “helper” will betray you, and in extremely damaging ways, if at all possible. The only relationship an elect soul can have with the non-elect is as an adversary. At times God calls the mature elect to expose them, to war against their lies and sins, to nullify their works of Satan. But all other relationships with the non-elect only aid and abet their works for Satan, and end in great loss for the elect. So do as Jesus said, separate from them.

During the eras of the first four seals, God allowed His elect to co-exist with the non-elect in the same families, work places and false churches. For the knowledge of spiritual and physical truths had not yet grown to extent where it could separate the elect from the non-elect. Even when the fifth

Page 328

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

era of persecutions began, God’s dichotomization process of dividing the elect from the non-elect was barely noticeable. However, times are changing rapidly, and will never return to the situations where both the elect and non-elect can easily co-exist. So the elect must now learn to accept what they witness with their own eyes. I never recommend any attempts to search too deeply into the hearts of the non-elect, since all one will find is an utterly empty darkness of spiritual and physical lies and delusions, along with a deep cherishing for that darkness. But, whenever the elect discover that darkness in anyone, let them accept that evidence and keep their lives separated from that one.

Yes, some elect are called to reason with some sinners, because even some of the worst of sinners are actually God’s elect children, whose spirits have been made ready to hear the just, equitable and loving truths of God. But we are not called to reason with the non-elect, even with those who seem to be nice, church-going pillars of the community. When we see someone with only conditional love, whose spirit never repents into the truth, who loves the darkness of lies and delusions more than the light of God’s real truths, we must abandon that one, even flee from that one. We must have nothing to do with the non-elect. It is always best to move on to the elect sinners whom God has made ready to hear His truths, since the non-elect love only lies, and they will kill to guard their lies from truth.

Mark 13:9 (ESV): “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.”

I repeat, until the second century, Christians defined the word “synagogue” in the same way Jews did, as a local church. So here Jesus prophesied about a time when false churches would persecute truly elect Christians and Jews. Secular powers, governments of nations, will also persecute the elect, in the same way. And, clearly, this is about the fifth seal’s era. Consequently, for more than a hundred years now, theistic humanists (Catholics, most Protestants and Muslims), as well as many secular humanists in governments (especially the Communists and Nazis), have been persecuting God’s elect. They have not only murdered those claiming to be Christians and Jews, but all inwardly just and loving elect souls, no matter what religion they belonged to, even loving, just elect atheists.

And, in this verse, Jesus prophesied that we will stand before persecuting false accusers “because of Me, for a testimony to them” (ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς). Many like to translate this as “for My sake,” which is similar. But, in the Greek, these words in this context seem to more strongly imply that our God Jesus will cause us to stand before them, so we can present a testimony to them, so the truth will finally be disseminated during this fifth seal’s era. In fact, truths about God’s true attributes, His demand for equitable justice for the rich and poor alike, His command to choose only those whom He has chosen to be authorities among us, His prohibition against trampling the poor, His illustrations and teachings about the separation of church and state, His freedom of conscience for those whom He has not yet called into the priesthood of His church and many other truths have been testified before public courts and local churches since the Reformation. Jesus caused Luther to testify about a few lost core Gospel truths which He revealed to that extremely fallible elect soul, to begin the revival of His true New Covenant church. The Baptists and other dissenting churches testified about the sovereignty of God over eternal salvation, with its consequential freedom of religion, to kings of England in the early modern period. During the 18th century Great Awakening in Great Briton and America, a host of biblical teachings flooded into the world through the elect, and a slow progress in development of those truths has been carrying on in public forums ever since then.

So Jesus has indeed caused His conscious and unconscious elect, His impulsive and neurotypical elect, His Judea-Christian elect and His elect in other religions, to publicly testify about Him and His

 

Page 329

truths to the world, just as it records His prophecy in Mark 16:9. And much progress has been made, although the Great Prostitute and her daughters have fought back bitterly, not only with beatings and murders in their local churches, but also with incredible amounts of lying propaganda broadcast throughout the world. Now there is still much work to be done for the advancement of His truths in our lands and around the world, along with much labor to undo the lying works of the devil. But the knowledge His truth has increased exponentially, and we are almost ready for the sixth seal’s revival.

Luke 21:11b-19 (ESV): “There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and

pestilences. [This refers to the eras of the first four seals.] And there will be terrors and great signs

from heaven. [This now refers to the eras of the sixth and seventh seals, since the worst terrors, with great

signs from heaven, actually begin to occur only during these two eras.] 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. [This is the fifth seal’s era.]

This will b e your opportunity to bear witness . Settle it therefore in your minds not to

meditate beforehand how to answer, for I will give you a mouth and wisdom , which none

of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict. You will be delivered up even by

parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you they will put to death. You

will be hated by all for My name's sake. But not a hair of your head will perish. By your

endurance you will gain your lives.”

When Jesus declared that increased persecutions would occur “before all this” (πρὸ τούτων πάντων, v. 12), we need to define the antecedent of “all this.” Otherwise, we will not be able to understand what He meant. Of course, there were persecutions from the very beginning of the New Covenant church, lasting throughout the eras of the first four seals. However, when Jesus said “before all this,” He was talking about the persecutions “before” the “terrors and great signs from heaven,” before end-time eras of the sixth and seventh seals. Naturally, persecutions of the elect began when Cain slew Abel, and have continued ever since. But here Jesus implied that there would be increased persecutions just before the “terrors and great signs from heaven,’ as the Revelation also affirms.

Again, Jesus prophesied here that persecutions will come from both local false churches and secular governments (“kings and governors”) at a time before the sixth and seventh seals, which is during the era of the fifth seal. But here Jesus said this persecution will be an “opportunity” for some of His elect to proclaim some real biblical truths. Literally, the persecutions “will disembark for your benefit into a testimony” (ἀποβήσεται ὑμῖν εἰς μαρτύριον). This implies that the real Gospel, and the seeds of a global new church which heeds His Holy Spirit, will begin to grow in the fifth seal’s era.

It is evident here that we need faith, the spirit’s trust and confidence in God and His words, to grow the courage that faces humbling realities, with the wisdom that rightly applies knowledge. Then we will be able to effectively answer our false accusers, and build fully abundant lives as our infantile spirits endure this perception of dwelling in flesh on earth. For all of us walk a tightrope during our entire training time on earth, between the solid ground of God’s homeland and the bottomless abyss. Now I know most like to keep their balance on the tightrope with a man-made pole of false religion. But most remain chained to the bottom of the very deep pit of miry despair and cannot escape even if they somehow manage to stay on that tightrope all the way to the other side of life. And, if they do fall into the pit, even the finest man-made pole will not help them climb out of its miry depth, since they remain chained to the bottom. Without the help of the real God Jesus, they cannot escape into eternal safety. Only Jesus can break their chains of sins and carry them back to solid realities of life.

So we must put our trust and confidence in Jesus, which means that we must also place our faith in His words and in His loving power, and not worship anyone or anything else as a fake savior. For there is no one else or anything else who can save except the one Creator God Jesus. But how does Jesus save us? Well, notice how Jesus here said here: “I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict” (Luke 21:15, WEB). So Jesus will save us by personally teaching us during this time of persecution. But, in Matthew 10:19-20, Jesus also told us that the Spirit of the Father would give us words to say and speak through during this persecution. Then Jesus also told us that the Holy Spirit will teach and speak through us at this time (and all times, Mark 13:11; Luke 12:12; John 14:26; et al.). Now I know that many churches like to make a big difference between the three Persons of God, but Jesus obviously referred to all three Persons of God interchangeably and intentionally, so we would know that God is one God, who relates to us and all the other spirits in His earthly and heavenly creations as three kinds of Teachers.

Like all the other teachers in history, Jesus repeated His teachings to His disciples many times and used slightly varied iterations of those teaching each time, with a nuanced difference in His focus upon certain details. And, in the above prophetic teachings, Jesus exchanged the “name” of our divine Counsel or Teacher during our persecutions. He is the heavenly Father or Himself or the Holy Spirit. And, to harmonize these Scriptures, we are forced to conclude that the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one and the same. For all refer to the same God performing the same task for the same people at the same time. And that task was teaching. So we also must conclude that the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are all our Teacher. But we require different kinds of teachers in various situations; sometimes a reproving Father figure, sometimes our oldest Brother sharing our trials, and sometimes the Holy Spirit directly speaking to our spirits in a way that bypasses our brains of flesh.

God is a Spirit (πνεῦμα ὁ θεός [ἐστίν], John 4:24). And there is only one God. But this Spirit, the one God, speaks to and relates to our spirits as our Father back in the homeland, as our oldest Brother who shared this perception of earthly experiences together with us, and as the Counselor who comes to dwell with our human spirits in our hearts and souls. God relates to us as three Persons at the same time, where each Person bears a different relationship with us, because we need a different kind of relationship with Him at different times. When our flesh tries to overpower the honest desires of our weak human spirits, we need the unimpeachable and authoritative Head of our household, our beloved Father, to settle that internal dispute with His firm rebukes against our flesh. When our flesh is wearied and beaten, we need the encouragement of our oldest Brother to counsel us through that suffering, because He went through it all Himself, without compromising His love for a moment. But, most of the time, as we see, hear and experience life, we need God’s Holy Spirit pouring His interpretations of those earthly illustrations directly into the minds of our spirits. Then our spirits can take that counsel from His Spirit into the chambers of our souls and relate them to our minds of flesh in figurative terms. Eventually, our spirits can cause our minds of flesh to acknowledge and express those concepts, even in matters like defending against false accusations through government laws.

Now, considering all the nonsense said about the Trinity, let me repeat: The uncreated Spirit of God existed before time existed in either the material space-time continuum or the spiritual space-time continuum, in an eternal moment which was neither long nor short. And all the times He created are neither long nor short, since all times are simply His thoughts in the mind of His Spirit, where the earthly times we experience are merely very real perceptions caused by His very real power, and where our spirits exist in a non-linear time that partakes in the thoughts of God’s Spirit. So this Creator of time, and He alone, can exist in our spirits’ perceptions of earthly time, and He can be as any number of Persons at the same earthly “time,” since He created time itself (i.e., the first day).

 

Page 331

Last Days Timeline

 

And God always exists outside of time, in an “eternal present” or an “eternal now.” Then all time is completely subject to Him at all “times,” and always relative to His thoughts. He is not bound by any created limitations, such as time and space, and He even exists in all places at the same time. It is completely irrational to say things like, “It is impossible for God to be one God and three Gods at the same time,” or, “If all things began in time, then the Creator of time must have had a beginning in time too.” Only things placed into time and space, either into the material universe or into the spiritual realm, had a beginning and are “made of” substances which can be limited by time and space. Only things belonging to created space-time continuums, things belonging to closed systems which exist outside of God’s unlimited timeless mind, things belonging to systems which God’s own will and power limits and defines, can begin in a time. And, within our perception of the material universe, it is because all its energy is actually God’s power, and because God’s power cannot be created or destroyed (but only converted and transferred from God who is uncreated), that material energy is also conserved and merely takes different forms (the first law of thermodynamics), so that this energy can form our perceptions of both time and space. Thus, it is absolutely ridiculous to think the one and only Creator God is not capable of entering our perceptions of earthly time, which He causes through His own will and power. It is completely irrational to think that the infinite God cannot fit Himself into a human body of flesh, or that God cannot be three Persons at the same time.

God is never subject to His own created limitations of time and space, only subject to His own spiritual ways or laws. An omnipotent God cannot contradict Himself, but He can harmonize Himself, in a consistent way, with His material and spiritual creations, since that was His intent and purpose for creating the material and spiritual continua in the first place. From the beginning, God chose to interface with all His created entities as three Persons at the same “time.” He relates to all His creations, to angels, animal spirits, but especially His human children, as their God ruling over them, as their God among them and as their God inside them. And, at all times, God relates to all elect human spirits as: (1) their Father who remains sovereign over their eternal lives and over all His creations; (2) their oldest Brother walking among them and all His creations, in order to guide, heal and save them; and (3) a Spirit dwelling inside them, next to their spirits, so that He might directly counsel and teach their spirits. And we need a Father to provide solutions or answers when the world is against us, a Brother to help us cope with our trials, and the Holy Spirit at all times.

Now look again at what Jesus authoritatively taught us here: “Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer, for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict” (Luke 21:14-15, WEB). When Jesus spoke about actions in the heart, He was referring to the actions of our spirits, which dwell in our hearts. So He was not talking about our souls, where both the mind of the spirit and the mind of flesh interface with one another, and where the thoughts of each often conflict with one another. So the first action He wants us to take, whenever we face persecutions, is to “settle … in [our] hearts not to meditate beforehand” about what we should answer when we face the false accusations of our persecutors.

In other words, our first action must be performed by our spirits. Our spirits must “settle, commit to, purpose to” (τίθημι) to not do what others do in this circumstance. We are not to repeatedly “prepare beforehand by giving careful thought and attention, practice beforehand, prepare (of practicing a speech) … prepare one’s defense” (BDAG3). The present active infinitive phrase (μὴ προμελετᾶν) suggests a repeated or ongoing action of the flesh for the purpose of giving a convincing legal defense (ἀπολογηθῆναι). In those days, just as it is to this day, this was done by dressing up in a way that appealed to the judge, rehearsing carefully crafted rhetoric designed to sway the emotions of the flesh with false reasoning and many other carnal devices, and by thoroughly practicing all the facial

 

Page 332

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

expressions and body language one would employ as each word was spoken. That is, a legal defense, back in those days, was all showmanship, with almost no real spiritual or moral substance in it at all.

Jesus want us to think with the minds of our spirits whenever we face false accusations, so our spirits can look to His Holy Spirit for counsel. Our spirits must begin our defense against false accusations by firmly committing to use God’s methods and to avoid any of the worldly ways used by Roman humanists. He commanded us to first resolve that we will walk in the spirit as His faithful, serving disciples, because all the laws of governments and all the precepts of false churches are ultimately spiritual precepts, with either good or evil motives of the spirit. The accusations of fake churches, kings, governing authorities and everyone else are based on what their spirits deem to be right or wrong, not based on what their flesh deems to be right or wrong, since the flesh is amoral and actually possesses no right or wrong inherent principles of justice and truth. Thus, we are always dealing with spiritual accusations, and must defend against them through the minds of our spirits, not through the minds of our flesh. Humanists defend themselves through appeals to emotions and desires of the flesh because they care nothing about spiritual and moral truths, only about what they can gain for the flesh. But the elect must not be like them. We must publicly address and expose the real spiritual evil behind false accusations, as we present the just spiritual principles created by God.

And, to publicly present the just, equitable, loving truths of God’s Spirit, we must first stop thinking with our fearing, frustrated, angry minds of flesh. Our spirits must manage our flesh, must take the time to quiet our fleshy emotions, so our more rational minds of our elect spirits can think and pray with clear, unhindered liquidity, converting our assets from heaven into the currency of our earthly languages, to figuratively convey God’s spiritual principles in terms that will be understood and accepted by other elect spirits. Our spirits must actually hear what Jesus’ Holy Spirit teaches about the spiritual principles we need to know, then voice them. This is actually the work of saving faith.

The saving faith of our elect spirits do good works during the process of being trained for our future lives at home in heaven. Our experiences in facing our persecutors during those public trials cause us to more clearly and carefully learn biblical truths from Jesus, then gain wisdom about the right applications of those truths. And many past experiences in our lives lead up to those moments when we face the false accusations of our persecutors, many truths we had learned over the years. Also, since God’s true church of Israel has recorded and shared experiences, knowledge and wisdom since the days of Moses, each new generation of elect has gained a little more from previous generations.

Because of the individual and collective past years of discipleship under our God Jesus, by elect who witnessed His providence of sound and wise answers to extremely complex and difficult questions, we believe Him when He tells us: “I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.” I am one of countless elect who have experienced the fulfillment of this promise while facing false accusations. And so have countless others. This is precisely why the unjust, vengeful Roman laws in many lands began to fall before the just, equitable, biblical principles taught in God’s Word, and have continued to fall throughout this era of the fifth seal’s persecutions. If it were not for the public testimonies of the elect heeding His Holy Spirit during this last era, we would not have any of the freedoms and rights enjoyed today in many lands.

But this faith that Jesus’ Holy Spirit will give us “a mouth and wisdom which all [our] adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict” is not artificially manufactured in the mind of flesh, as most false churches seem to think. Somehow, their humanistic faith in themselves believes that faith in God comes from emotionally psyching up their minds of flesh through their wills of flesh, until their minds of flesh imagine nonsense. Then their minds of flesh interprets those imaginings into

 

Page 333

Last Days Timeline

 

even more foolish or even insane beliefs. Or they will pick a random passage from the Bible and interpret that in some convoluted way to convince their minds of flesh to “believe” that God will save them. Then they answer their accusers with awe-inspiring stupidity. I have even seen some deluded churchians “rebuke” their adversaries by loudly uttering gibberish, which they falsely call “tongues,” through angry mouths, expecting God to “strike” their accusers down at their command.

True biblical faith for salvation and for all other aspects of life, is a work of God’s Spirit upon our spirits. Faith has nothing to do with the works of human beings. No one is ever able to build up true faith within themselves. And true faith definitely is never produced a religious con man spewing out emotionally charged nonsense while “inspiring” music plays in the background. Furthermore, true faith never comes and goes according to the moods of the flesh, because it is not of the flesh. God steadily and consistently grows the seed of faith in the minds of our spirits, never in the minds of our flesh. And once an elect spirit receives the gift of true faith from God, the spirit possesses it for all eternity. That spirit cannot even remove that faith from itself, and no entity on earth or in heaven can ever remove it either. True faith simply grows inside our spirits throughout our lives, after God has awakened our elect spirits and granted faith to us. Then Jesus’ Holy Spirit even grants what is called “the gift of faith” to some of His elect disciples. Now, most awakened elect experience times when their minds of flesh suppress the voices of their spirits inside their souls, usually when the flesh is afraid, anxious, exhausted, starving, lusting or the like. But those with the “gift of faith” never seem to be affected by anything of the flesh. Their elect spirits carry on with God’s appointed works for them as though their minds of flesh were totally and completely under the control of their spirits.

So how do some elect gain the faith to hear and heed Jesus, so He will grant them “a mouth and wisdom which all [their] adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict”? Well, first of all, literally all elect have some saving and functioning faith in God, since faith is what causes them to be attracted to the just, equitable truths created by God and to build love upon those truths. Faith is one of the inherent attributes present in literally all elect spirits. But, of course, that innate seed of faith has to be watered and allowed into the light before it can grow. Yet many elect live only by their minds of flesh. So they push their spirits back into the dry darkness of their own empty hearts, where faith remains as small and undeveloped as a mustard seed. The light of God and the waters of life pouring from the real Holy Spirit of Jesus are never allowed to touch that seed, so it never grows. But a time comes when Jesus chooses to free that elect spirit from the captivity of the flesh, after that elect one has experienced enough of a life without God. Either on earth or at the gates of heaven on the judgment day, Jesus begins to grow that seed of faith with His light and pure waters.

As elect spirits hear Jesus’ Spirit, and see how effective His wise counsel is, they begin to trust Him more, and place more confidence in the concepts He pours into their spirits. The waters of life pour into the minds of their spirits, with the light of His truths, which sprouts and grows their faith. Thus, their faith comes from God. They are granted eyes to see the rational, wise verity of God’s creations, the ultimate purposes of all spiritual and physical realities, the created truths which the Holy Spirit of Jesus and the Father continuously teaches to the minds of their spirits. This also enables them to see the reality of human frailty, sinfulness, biases, foolishness and fallibility in themselves and in human judges or accusers. When they see who God really is, they realize that all fall short of His loving, just and wondrous glory. They see that all are mere sinners. And this is also critical to know as those elect proclaim the truths received from God against their threatening adversaries. For they no longer fear their adversaries, because they no longer see their adversaries in the way those adversaries see themselves. For most of our adversaries see themselves as human gods who have created themselves into superior beings, then confidently oppress the “inferior” and “evil” voices of truth who expose

their lies and sins. And, if an elect soul remains trapped in those lies held by their adversaries, those deluded elect will try to please those human gods through fear, instead of God through love in truth.

Once an awakened elect spirit stops worshiping human judges and other adversaries of Christ, then also refuse to call any man the head of God’s church instead of Jesus, that elect soul is freed to address all human beings as equals. And the elect can even do this without quarreling about petty humanistic formalities, such as the requirement to address a judge with a blasphemous and stupid title like “your honor,” instead of by his first name, although there is only one Man who deserves the title, “Your Honor,” the only true Judge, the King of all kings. Furthermore, the awakened elect also begin to realize that their flesh is temporary, but the love in them, as well as the perfectly preserved memories of their entire earthly lives, forever remains in the minds of their eternal spirits. So the elect begin to see their lives on earth as useful for doing God’s loving works, which are aspects of the teaching and training of their infantile spirits. Yet those elect also see that the death of their flesh will mean exceedingly greater personal gain at the gates of heaven. Consequently, those elect fight for their very useful earthly lives, and the very useful earthly lives of their loved ones, but do not fear death or the death threats of their adversaries nearly as much as those living only for the flesh.

Of course, most human-worshiping humanists will always remain deluded, blind dupes imprisoned by the darkness of Satan, and will never accept a single word which reflects the immutable, genuine reality and truth that God created in the beginning. But a few of the accusers, judges and people in the audience might be God’s hidden elect children, who have been lured into the darkness of that false religion. So, as they hear the proceedings, God will open the ears of some of those elect spirits, to heed that truth. This has happened frequently in history, in Roman Catholic trials against elect Protestants and in the courts of secular despots around the world. That is how the truths of God have been spreading throughout the world, simply because the falsely accused elect spoke the real truth without fear before the other elect in the crowd. For, once the truth escaped into the public, some elect clung to those truths, but the factious, deluded, self-centered armies of Satan possessed no spiritual power to silence those truths. Since the only power humanists could use against the elect was physical, and that physical power depended on the works of the elect to sustain it, that devil’s non-elect minions could not overcome the united, persistent elect who proclaimed the effective, beneficial, immutable truths of God. Consequently, God’s truths began to grow and develop into more complete and mature truths in those lands. Then God raised up some elect to publicly testify about those more full truths against their non-elect adversaries, and the process continued on earth.

Now consider these doctrines. An ability to perceive God’s created spiritual and physical realities is a chief attribute of elect spirits, and never found in non-elect spirits. Naturally, this quality is seldom developed much until God awakens an elect spirit, but it exists in every elect spirit nonetheless. Then we also know that Jesus only gathers the awakened elect into the priesthood of His one true church, only the elect who begin to see and believe the realities or truths He personally reveals to their spirits each day. Thus, whenever we see a group bearing the ability to hear and heed truths from Jesus’ Holy Spirit, it is a clear sign that this group is a true church consisting of awakened elect. That true church may be fairly immature spiritually, but it is a true church which has begun to serve the real Messiah.

Then look at how Jesus used plural pronouns when He said that, during the era of the fifth seal, “I will give [you people] a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict." And, when we examine the context of the whole passage (Luke 21:12-19), it does strongly suggest that Jesus was referring to a united group of people who would be sharing the same experiences together, and that the works of His Holy Spirit will benefit the entire united group. The context suggests that the persecuted people in the future would be just like His twelve apostles were

when He was making this prophecy, and the twelve had not yet received the “sealing” of the Holy Spirit, and would not until the Day of the Pentecost. Consequently, all this implies that Jesus will begin to recreate His one true church of Israel during the era of the fifth seal’s great persecution, possibly a true church which is personally taught by Jesus, like the disciples were when He made this prophecy, but not yet “sealed” by His Holy Spirit, like it will be during the sixth seal’s revival.

I know all of this highly speculative, yet it all seems to be implied and makes sense. For, I repeat, some form of true church will need to exist before the sixth seal’s revival. After all, when Jesus walked among us, He called about seventy of the more spiritually mature elect, plus the twelve most adept assistant teachers, to serve the thousands of less spiritually mature elect together with Him. And it seems that He will do the same before the end times revival. God has never had a church where He has not sent teaching, guiding and judging elders, with a close dependency upon one another. When He created Israel through Abraham, He started out the with 12 sons of Jacob to serve as elders who would check and counter the bad choices of one another. So it it seems logical that Jesus will create some elemental form of His true church before sixth seal’s revival, in the latter part of the fifth seal’s era. This true church will provide a foundation of multiple teaching and judging elders for each local church during the sixth seal’s era, to maintain a deep, fruitful relationships between members after the gifts of Jesus’ Holy Spirit will be once more poured out into the elect.

Now also consider how Jesus always taught that the scope of the fifth seal’s persecution was to occur throughout the entire world, especially according to the Revelation Jesus granted John. But John, along with the other prophets and apostles, knew that the Gospel had not yet been reached most of the world in their lifetimes, and would not even be known in the entire Roman Empire for at least a couple more generations. Some had preached the Gospel as far south as Ethiopia and up to Rome’s northern borders. But, even the rapid dissemination of the Gospel in the first century, with all of its setbacks, could not be expected to reach the whole world for very many generations. For they also knew that great empires existed to the east, in Persia, India, Africa and China. Then, even in those days, a few sailors and fishermen in the north had spread rumors about lands beyond the Atlantic. So the apostles knew that many lands would not receive the Gospel for a very long time, especially because they were already seeing major resistance to it wherever it had already been been preached.

By the time John received the Revelation, he knew that not even all of Israel, much less all of the other Roman lands, would hear the true Gospel preached by true elders for several generations. And he also knew that a great, long-term corruption of his true apostolic church was already happening, which would result in many generations of slow growth in the dissemination of biblical truths. Thus, when John, along with the other prophets and apostles, wrote down Jesus’ prophecies about the persecutions of the fifth seal, they knew this would occur on a world-wide scale in the very distant future. And they also realized that it would cause the prayers of the martyrs to initiate God’s wrath on a world-wide scale during the eras of the sixth and seventh seals, just before Jesus would return.

Certainly our God Jesus knew all this. But it is also clear that John knew he was prophesying about many distant lands around the world, which would not be touched by the Gospel for many centuries to come. Therefore, we need to stop listening to those who somehow think that the original form of apostolic Christianity was just a local sect of ignorant Jews who could not have imagined how big the world actually was, who only thought in very limited terms about the scope and reach of their religion, that is, until the wiser and more educated Roman Middle Platonists rescued Christianity from their narrow-minded grasp. Most theologians and church historians assume this. They relish in the spiritual adultery that early churches committed with Middle Platonists, in that which actually

created the Great Prostitute and her harlot daughters. At the same time, they invent ways to slander the true apostolic church and its teachings, since those bigots know neither God nor the Scriptures.

Now it is time for the elect to forget all that nonsense about the “development of Christian thought,” and realize that all the New Covenant teachings of Christianity revealed during the apostolic times were based on the teachings of our wise God Jesus. And Jesus came to fulfill the teachings He revealed during the Old Covenant times. Then all the laws and teachings of the Old Covenant times were written in all God’s spiritual and physical creations from the beginning of time. But all those truths were opposed from the beginning by Satan’s spirit of ignorance, lies and delusions, through false religions which culminated in the false religion of humanism, which that devil spread through his four kingdoms, especially through his demonic Greco-Roman kingdoms. And, if we look very closely at Jesus and His apostles, we find that they were extremely open-minded. The minds of the apostles’ spirits absorbed vast quantities of deep and true knowledge and wisdom about life and faith. They were nothing like the shallow, loveless, non-elect humanists who boasted about all the strange physical things they saw as they plundered foreign nations and gathered slaves to build grand structures for their own “glory,” places where their elite could indulge in violent or sexual orgies.

To this day, Roman humanists brag about the physical things they have seen in foreign lands, in the places they exploit while their poorer foreign siblings in the family of humankind starve just outside their hotel rooms. Then they somehow think they have greatly expanded their spiritual, cultural and intellectual outlook on life, that they are “wiser,” though they remain cold, dead and loveless inside. But the apostles lived with many people from many cultures who spoke many different languages. The apostles shared their joys and pains, saw the inner motives and intentions for their actions in life and in death. And those apostles learned about life and faith directly from the Holy Spirit of the Creator God Himself. Those apostles truly learned that all people are the same, with only superficial differences, and also gained experiential knowledge regarding the doctrine that each human has either a loving elect spirit or a loveless non-elect spirit. So the apostles who wrote the New Covenant Scriptures were indeed far more wise and open-minded than any ancient or modern humanists. And they also heard teachings directly from the Creator of all truths and realities, teachings which apply to human life from the beginning of time to the end of time. Therefore, it is time for the elect to cast out the vain, foolish teachings of humanistic religions, then study the Scripture far more honestly.

Next, consider how Jesus just finished saying, “some of you they will put to death,” and that others would be beaten, then told us, “not a hair of your head will perish.” And Jesus knew this sounded like a contradiction. Thus, Jesus definitely was not saying that every physical “hair” on our physical “heads” would not “perish.” Jesus was clearly speaking figuratively about the “hair” on the “head” of each individual elect one’s spirit. And the “head” of a spirit, which gives life to the whole body, or takes life from the body when it leaves does have “hair,” that which covers a spirit’s private thoughts or “shame” from the sight of others. Even our new spiritual bodies which we shall receive when we pass from this earthly life into the spiritual realm, will have “hair,” as a symbol of our individuality.

Jesus was not talking about Him as the Head of the individual, or His hair on His head. Rather, He was speaking about the heads of His persecuted people, figuratively. And, since He could not be talking about their physical heads, while they were being physically beaten and killed, He must have been referring to the heads of their spirits. Jesus promised the safety of the “head” or mind of each persecuted person’s spirit, as well as each “hair” on each “head.” So the minds of persecuted elect spirits, and even the most insignificant parts of our elect spirits, will not be harmed by the false churches and governments who attack us. For the elect who proclaim the truths of God will be endorsed by God, will be proclaiming those truths in His name, that is, in His authority and power

which He grants according to His will. Whether they consciously know our God Jesus or not, those elect will proclaim various kinds of biblical truths in Jesus’ real name, whether truths about justice or about His salvation. So, as they are physically beaten or killed, the minds of their elect spirits will not suffer the kind of trauma or guilt that is experienced by those who are beaten or killed for the sins they committed, nor the trauma and inner disconnect felt by the victims of senseless violence.

All conscious or unconscious elect who take a stand against injustice or harmful doctrinal lies, and do so through their spirits’ firm conviction regarding an array of genuine biblical truths, receive an effective and plenary guarding of their spirits from God. They are not like those who support lesser causes, nor even like those who support the very same causes through carnal ulterior motives such as through duty, obligation, coercion, greed, lust for power or other motives of the flesh. The elect who incur persecutions due to God’s personal conviction of their spirits for the truth and just love, always face death with peace in their hearts, often even with the joy of knowing their earthly labors are over, and they cannot die, but will dwell forever with the living and loving elect above. For all those elect know that the bright torch they carried will be taken up by God Himself, who will stir up more elect spirits to fight for those truths. They are not so vain as to think that they alone can reveal truths, and they must live to proclaim those truths. For literally all those elect realize that all the truths they are proclaiming were poured into their spirits from an external source, and some elect even realize that it was Jesus’ Holy Spirit who did this. So, when those elect die for the truth in Jesus’ name, they truly rest in peace, knowing that those truths cannot be extinguished once God frees them into the world.

Persecutors cannot possibly cause an elect spirit to stop loving God, God’s ways or God’s people. Jesus can allow that to happen temporarily, when an unrepentant elect soul begins to worship human gods or becomes inwardly unclean in some other way. But neither men nor demons can possibly harm an elect spirit in any way. By abusing our flesh, human beings may be able to subjugate the thoughts in elect minds of flesh, even enough for our flesh to deny God’s existence and temporarily take captive the mind of the spirit. But all thoughts of the flesh fade and cease. Severe pains or strong pleasures of the flesh enable the mind of flesh to silence our spirits for a moment, and briefly seize control of our lives, causing us to “forget” God. But the minds of our spirits are far more stable than the minds of our flesh, because our spirits never forget anything and think far more rationally.

All elect spirits overcome the flesh eventually, although some elect let their flesh rule their lives until their flesh dies, until their spirits go to the gates of heaven on the judgment day. And the thoughts of all elect spirits are directed by their inherent attributes created by God, as well as by the shaping of God’s daily teaching and training throughout their lives. So, since it is God who makes the thoughts of elect spirits very stable, those thoughts cannot possibly be changed by men, definitely not through any kind of persecution which tortures or kills their flesh. The inner elect spirit becomes exactly what God created and causes it to be. The only thing that our deluded, irrational persecutors can ever accomplish a futile, very temporary submission of our flesh, which may or may not slow down the progress of our spirits’ development on earth. And, while our persecutors are doing this, they are wasting their precious time on earth and destroying themselves by destroying the elect who are the only ones who actually sustain their lives on earth. So persecutions by the non-elect cause only a relatively insignificant loss for the elect, but a critical and severe loss for the non-elect themselves.

Jesus told us that we will remain spiritually alive and unharmed as we endure persecutions. Then He comforted us, affirming that, “By your endurance you will win your lives.” Some take this to mean that our salvation is conditional, based upon our ability to use our “free will” to stoically endure tortuous deaths from persecutors. But that is a ridiculously false interpretation. Jesus literally said, “In your hopeful endurance, you people might fully acquire your own souls” (ἐν τῇ ὑπομονῇ ὑμῶν
