κτήσασθε τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν). The main verb is an aorist subjunctive, which indicates the possibility of a full or completed action of getting, obtaining or acquiring something. So, while we are slogging through the trials of our persecutions with a hope for a better future, where true justice is served and the true Gospel is proclaimed everywhere on earth, we might fully acquire the harmony of the minds of our spirits and the minds of our flesh in our own souls. For those persecutions will intensify and stimulate our spirits to pray for God’s wisdom, and the “mouth” or opportunity to proclaim it. Then the more wisdom we receive from above, the more peace and harmony we will acquire in our souls.

Our saving endurance is not accomplished by the human will and is not worked through the mind and body of flesh. Rather, the saving endurance of the spirit’s faith is granted by God, worked by Him in the minds of our spirits. And once Jesus begins His work of building up saving faith in an elect soul, He will bring that work to full completion and perfection on the last day at heaven’s gates. In the meantime, there is no power on earth or in heaven which can stop our omnipotent God from doing and finishing His saving works. Furthermore, Jesus’ death on the cross purchased the entire forgiveness of our lifetimes of unintentional sins, which includes all the sins we have or will repent from, into His truth. Elect spirits can never stop loving Jesus or His people, since Jesus provides all the faith, hope, knowledge, wisdom, courage and love their spirits will need to endure to the end.

Isaiah 56:1 to 57:21 (ESV): “Thus says [Yahweh]: ‘Keep justice, and do righteousness,

for soon My salvation will come, and My deliverance be revealed. Blessed is the man who

does this, and the son of man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath, not profaning it, and

keeps his hand from doing any evil.’ Let not the foreigner [i.e., the Gentile] who has joined

himself to [Yahweh] say, ‘[Yahweh] will surely separate me from His people’ and let not the

eunuch say, ‘Behold, I am a dry tree.’ For thus says [Yahweh]: ‘To the eunuchs who keep My

Sabbaths, who choose the things that please Me and hold fast My covenant, I will give in My

house and within My walls a monument and a name better than sons and daughters; I will

give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off.

“And the foreigners [Gentiles] who join themselves to [Yahweh], to minister to Him [i.e.,

serving or ministering to God is the purpose of the Sabbath] , to love the name of [Yahweh], and to be

His servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it, and holds fast My

covenant—these I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of

prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on My altar; for My house

shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.’ The Lord [Yahweh], who gathers the

outcasts of Israel, declares, ‘I will gather yet others to Him [i.e., to the Messiah] besides those

already gathered.’

“All you beasts of the field, come to devour—all you beasts in the forest. His watchmen are

blind; they are all without knowledge; they are all silent dogs; they cannot bark, dreaming,

lying down, loving to slumber. The dogs have a mighty appetite; they never have enough.

But they are shepherds who have no understanding; they have all turned to their own way,

each to his own gain, one and all. ‘Come,’ they say, ‘let me get wine; let us fill ourselves with

strong drink; and tomorrow will be like this day, great beyond measure.’

“The righteous man perishes, and no one lays it to heart; devout men are taken away, while

no one understands. For the righteous man is taken away from calamity; he enters into peace;

they rest in their beds who walk in their uprightness. But you, draw near, sons of the

sorceress, offspring of the adulterer and the loose woman. Whom are you mocking? Against

whom do you open your mouth wide and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of

transgression, the offspring of deceit, you who burn with lust among the oaks, under every

green tree, who slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks? Among

the smooth stones of the valley is your portion; they, they, are your lot; to them you have

poured out a drink offering, you have brought a grain offering. Shall I relent for these things?

On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed, and there you went up to offer sacrifice.

Behind the door and the doorpost you have set up your memorial; for, deserting Me, you

have uncovered your bed, you have gone up to it, you have made it wide; and you have

made a covenant for yourself with them, you have loved their bed, you have looked on

nakedness. You journeyed to the king with oil and multiplied your perfumes; you sent your

envoys far off, and sent down even to Sheol. You were wearied with the length of your

way, but you did not say, ‘It is hopeless’; you found new life for your strength, and so

you were not faint. Whom did you dread and fear, so that you lied, and did not remember

Me, did not lay it to heart?

“Have I not held My peace, even for a long time, and you do not fear Me? I will declare your

righteousness and your deeds, but they will not profit you. When you cry out, let your

collection of idols deliver you! The wind will carry them off, a breath will take them away.

But he who takes refuge in Me shall possess the land and shall inherit My holy mountain.

And it shall be said, ‘Build up, build up, prepare the way, remove every obstruction from My

people's way.’ For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose

name is Holy: ‘I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and

lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite. ‘For I will

not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for the [human] spirit would grow faint before

Me, and the breath of life that I made.

“‘Because of the iniquity of his unjust gain I was angry, I struck him; I hid My face and was

angry, but he went on backsliding in the way of his own heart. I have seen his ways, but I

will heal him; I will lead him and restore comfort to him and his mourners, creating the fruit

of the lips. Peace, peace, to the far [Gentiles] and to the near [Jews],’ says [Yahweh], ‘and I will

heal him. But the wicked are like the tossing sea; for it cannot be quiet, and its waters toss up

mire and dirt. There is no peace,’ says my God, ‘for the wicked.’”

In this Messianic prophecy, God told us to “hold ... fast” by keeping justice and doing righteousness, because “soon My salvation will come, and My deliverance be revealed.” Since all earthly lives are short, and earthly linear time does not exist after death, God’s salvation has come soon to every elect soul since the beginning of time. So a pursuit of salvation, by holding fast to faith in God, applied to the elect in Isaiah’s day (8th century BC). But it is even more applicable to us today, because the salvation of the living, during the end times, is coming “soon” even in terms earthly linear time. The one who “holds ... fast,” by keeping justice and doing righteousness, expresses true saving faith in God and in His words. But the man who commits injustice and does unrighteous acts, by trampling the destitute and the weak, has no faith and is in danger of hell, even if he tries to act very religious.

This whole passage from Isaiah (56:1 to 57:21) is about the salvation (Hebrew = yeshuah) and righteousness (tsedaqah) which comes from the Messiah, who is also called our God Yahweh. We trust in Him alone to save us from all that can lure us away from justice and righteousness. In other words, we rely on God to make us loving, for all that is justice and righteousness is summarized by these two commands: love God and love those whom God gathers into the spheres of our own lives.

Ultimately, reason forces us to admit that all things come from God—our salvation into heaven, our deliverance from “doing evil,” any true justice we uphold, and any genuine, loving righteousness we might do. All this originates from God as our elect spirits are taught and trained by God, and as the inherent created natures of our spirits are drawn to those truths. But, after reading this passage from Isaiah, we might be puzzled by the way he, the Old Covenant prophet who is most associated with the Messiah, so strongly emphasizes that keeping the Sabbath is an essential work of true justice and righteousness which originates from God. But, when we look at the various humanistic Sabbath traditions in Jewish synagogues and Christian churches during the last two millenniums, it is clear that almost none of their petty rules about Saturdays or Sundays definitely are not even remotely related to any kind of true spiritual justice or righteousness which originates from God. Therefore, since Isaiah was speaking about the kind of Sabbath which forms the very essence of true justice and righteousness which God’s Spirit teaches to our spirits, Isaiah clearly viewed the Sabbath in a totally different way. To Isaiah, God’s own interpretation of His own Sabbath laws is not our interpretation.

Synagogues and churches never really promote true love for God through their Sabbath traditions, since they pressure their people to attend Sabbath assemblies primarily so that a specific number of human gods, who are chosen and appointed by other human gods, can lie about God and His Word. Then each human god in each assembly tells lies which radically contradict and oppose the lies of the other human gods in other assemblies. And each human god’s lies even contradict themselves in principle. But lying about God and His words is not love for God. Furthermore, all true love is built on truths about the object of that love, as well as upon the truths shared and practiced by both the one loving and the one being loved. Therefore, although emotions of the flesh are aroused by the rhetoric of human gods in those churches and synagogues, no real love for God is found in them.

Then neither do the Sabbaths practiced by those churches and many synagogues actually promote the love of those whom God gathers into the spheres of our lives. Yes, most claim to provide and promote “fellowship.” But they do this by stuffing their people into one large room and asking them to politely stare at the human god standing on the podium for a fixed period of time. Then, once the human god’s lecture is over, all must rush out the door so the human god can rest, since it was so much work to prepare and preach the crafted words spoken. Also, those human god claim to promote love for all our siblings in the family of humankind, except for the sibling they irrationally hate for superficial and unbiblical reasons, or the bothersome siblings they themselves caused to become homeless through their heartfelt worship of the demon Mammon, or the siblings who do not believe the same lies in the same way they do, or most other siblings. Thus, in reality, those gatherings are far more like those of the pagan Roman cults, where a human god lectures to a passive audience who cannot even whisper to one another, so the cult leaders can brainwash their dupes into serving them, even in ways which harm or kill all the innocent lives which obstruct the elite human god’s whims.

But churches and synagogues seldom actually strive to conduct interactive biblical Sabbath teaching times, where multiple teaching and judging elders and literally all the men in their relatively small group field and answer questions, then gather everyone to eat a meal together, where they continue their discussions. And notice how Jesus divided the multitudes into groups of 50 (which was about ten heads of households per group) during the meals at His teaching times (e.g., Luke 9:14). For, in those days, each local synagogue or local church usually split into two geographically separated groups when the number of people exceeded about a hundred. They did this because it was the only way the people could truly get to know one another and candidly share beliefs during their Sabbath fellowships. This was the only way they could personally discuss God’s Word and determine how God’s teachings needed to be applied to solve the personal problems of individual members in their

 

Page 341

one body united by love. For, during every truly biblical Sabbath, they strove to do God’s works, and His good works alone, while refraining from works for themselves and all forms of selfish ambition.

Clearly, when Isaiah wrote this passage with such a great emphasis on God’s Sabbath laws, he was referring to a completely different kind of Sabbath than the ones we know today. Isaiah referred to a truly biblical kind of Sabbath, which taught the love of God rightly and greatly enhanced each members love for those whom God gathered into the sphere of one’s life, even for the siblings of humankind in far-off lands. This is why Isaiah stressed the Sabbath laws as a principal means of keeping justice and doing righteousness, and as a way to prevent one’s own hand from doing evil.

Also remember that God summarized all 613 laws of His Old Covenant with ten authoritative statements, which we call the Ten Commandments. So each of those Ten Commandments represents a number of other laws, or an order of laws. And all the Sabbath laws are represented by the fourth commandment, so they may be called fourth-order laws. Now the first four commandments, which include the Sabbath laws, are divine or religious laws, since they pertain to our relationship with God. Then the last five commandments, the sixth- to tenth-order laws, are sometimes referred to as the “natural laws,” because they pertain to the loving relationships between physical human beings in the “natural” or material world. In addition to all these, the fifth-order laws command respect for the heavenly Father of our spirits as well as for the parents of our bodies of flesh. Thus, these fifth-order laws are both natural and divine laws. Yet, in Isaiah’s prophecy, he directly associated the divine fourth-order Sabbath laws with the natural laws pertaining to our relationships with people.

In Isaiah’s mind, with his right understanding of God’s Sabbath laws, the teaching time and all the good works done for God during the Sabbath days, directly affected the people’s love for God as well as their love for one another. And true Sabbaths, with true interactive teachings about God and His ways, along with the good works for God resulting from teachings about His natural laws, did cause God’s priesthood of Israel to love God more and to fulfill all justice and righteousness more.

And what did the Sabbath laws have to do with the Messiah, whom Isaiah prophesied about, whom we know as Jesus? Also, why did Jesus spent more time teaching about and illustrating the meaning of the Sabbath laws than He did regarding any of God’s natural laws? Clearly, Isaiah thought the Sabbath laws held a critical role in the salvation works of the Messiah. Then, when our Messiah Jesus came to fulfill every dot and tittle of God’s Law in us and through us for our salvation, He also thought that God’s intent for the Sabbath was more critical to our relationships with Him and with one another than all the other natural laws. And God gave us the Ten Commandments in the order of His priorities for us to keep them, with the first being the most critical and the tenth being the least critical. So, from the moment God first revealed His Law, we can see that He considered obedience to His fourth-order Sabbath laws to be more important than our obedience to His fifth- to tenth-order laws. From the days of Adam and Eve, God has commanded us to keep the Sabbath, because it was so critical to our relationships with Him and with one another, even more important than keeping ourselves from murdering, committing sexually immoral acts, stealing, lying and covetousness, since God’s own true biblical ways of keeping the Sabbath actually help His people keep all of His laws.

This all seems strange to those who know only the Sabbath traditions of fake humanistic churches and synagogues, since humanists mostly focus on which physical tasks should not be done on a Sabbath day. And it seems very confusing to the churches which think that Jesus fulfilled the Old Covenant Sabbath laws by causing the immoral, ruthless, humanistic, pagan Roman Emperor, called “Saint Constantine,” to change the “Jewish” Saturday Sabbath to Sunday, because he wanted to honor the unconquered pagan sun god, whom he associated with Jesus. So, to those humanistic

 

Page 342

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

churches, the love of God and the love of our neighbors is fulfilled by transforming the physical time period of the Sabbath day from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday, as God commanded since the days of Adam, into a period defined by the pagan Romans, which extends from midnight Saturday to midnight on Sunday. To them, this somehow fulfills the fourth-order laws of God, which He deemed to be more critical than His other laws against murder, sexual exploitation, theft, slander and greed.

Can we see the disconnect here, between God’s purpose and intent for His Sabbath and the purpose and intent of humanists for the Sabbath day? Jesus said He did not come to nullify God’s laws, but to fulfill them. So is anything the humanistic churches do on their Sabbath days, which benefit only the elite human gods in their hierarchies, really fulfilling God’s purpose and intent for His Sabbath laws in the way Jesus came to fulfill them? And were the Sabbaths which Jesus, the prophets and the apostles kept really for self-indulgent rest and lectures, as humanistic churches and synagogues say?

The real reason Jesus, the prophets and the apostles were so concerned about the Sabbath was discussed throughout the New Covenant Scriptures. But a nice summary is found in the book of Hebrews (3:12 to 4:13). There it talks about those with “an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God,” because they were “hardened by the deceitfulness of sin” (WEB). Then it goes on to say those kinds of people will not be able to enter God’s “rest … because of unbelief” (WEB). And, when this Jewish author referred to “His rest” (κατάπαυσιν αὐτοῦ), he was indicating the kind of rest which God intended us to enter on the Sabbath or seventh day, which God ordained “from the foundation of the world” (see 4:3-5, WEB). Also, after this Scripture assures us that “we who have believed do enter into that rest” (WEB), it concludes: “There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For he who has entered into His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His. Let’s therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience” (4:9-11, WEB). But, when God rested from creating new things for Himself on the very first Sabbath day, He rested forever after that. Since that day, God has only ever served His creations, and has never created things for Himself. This was the doctrine taught by the Jews and by the true apostolic church. Therefore, when we enter our Sabbath rest of God, we also forever cease from doing works to gain possessions, and forever serve God’s creations as God does.

This teaches that we need to have a believing heart so that we may enter God’s Sabbath rest all day and everyday, even while it is called “today.” And this Scripture in Hebrews was talking about the Sabbath laws of the Old Covenant being fulfilled in Jesus Christ’s New Covenant when it said: “Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it” (Heb. 4:1, ESV). So being saved by Jesus is entering the fulfilled Sabbath rest, everyday and all day. Now it is clear that this author, speaking to Jews, assumed that His audience knew that God permanently rested from the seventh day onward, never again creating new things for Himself, and only ever served His creations from then on. Likewise, as Jews, he also assumed they knew that the Old Covenant Sabbath was not a day of rest from all works, only a rest from works for ourselves. The Sabbath was to be when we would only do works for God, by serving His creations in the same ways He does, instead of serving ourselves. The Jews knew that God only forbade our own works, not all works, and never any works for God, just as Jesus also taught to us.

In fact, God’s Levitical priesthood did more work on a Sabbath day than they did on any other day of the week. And the “royal” Aaronic priesthood within the Levitical priesthood served God and His people the entire Sabbath day too. But now everyone in the New Covenant church is the “royal priesthood” of God. The true body of the Messiah Jesus on earth replaces the old Aaronic priesthood, because Jesus is the new High Priest of the New Covenant church, replacing the old Aaronic high priest and Aaron’s entire clan. Furthermore, God forbade the entire Levitical priesthood from ever

Page 343

Last Days Timeline

 

working to build up an “inheritance” for themselves, from ever working to gain possessions. For their entire “inheritance” was to be God Himself, and Him alone. Consequently, all their works throughout all seven days of every week were to be works for God, that is, Sabbath works. The priesthood of God was to dwell in a permanent Sabbath rest all of their lives. Consequently, the New Covenant “royal priesthood” of God, must do the same, but even in a better, more fulfilled way.

Neither Jesus nor Isaiah were ever actually talking about the kinds of Sabbaths practiced by the humanistic churches or synagogues during the last two millenniums. Rather, both Jesus and Isaiah advocated for the real Sabbath laws of God, which pertain to the love of God expressed by selflessly serving God’s creation. For both Isaiah and Jesus were dealing with false churches who deluded themselves into thinking they were worshiping and serving God, although they only worshiped and served themselves. Those false churches thought they were doing right and truly obeying God when they refused to do anything on the Sabbath, not even works for God. Then they stoned even the poor souls who did God’s good works on a Sabbath day. And this is why Jesus countered their false teachings by declaring: “Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day” (Mat. 12:12, WEB).

But those self-righteous religious humanists put on a good external show of fake worship by adding one Sabbath prohibition to another, while they remained inwardly selfish, greedy and vile. Yet the ignorant elect, who inwardly longed for the real God, were drawn to them because those hypocrites used phases with God’s name in it, like “God’s Sabbath laws.” So, since the days of Jesus’ earthly ministry, fake humanistic “Jewish” and “Christian” preachers have been making God’s elect serve them, using God’s Sabbath laws for the benefit of themselves and their selfish ambitions. Thus, they have been doing the exact opposite of God’s intent for the Sabbath laws. Their motives were never to please God, nor to do good works for His creations in selfless ways, only to replace God as our gods.

A right interpretation of God’s Sabbath laws cures this disease of humanistic delusions and sin. For the real Sabbath laws lead us into genuine worship, in spirit and in truth. Biblical Sabbaths were about sacrificing a seventh of our daily struggles to survive, through a trust in God to provide life, so we might gather to learn about Him and His ways, then train our spirits to love by doing His good works for one another and His creations. It is a day to feed on the bread from heaven which we had gathered through His providence on another day, so we might do His works on the day He set apart and sanctified for His purposes, as the Father who created our spirits and is teaching us how to love.

The only way we can truly keep the Old Covenant Sabbath laws is by setting aside the completing days which God appointed and sanctified. These Sabbaths not only included the seventh day of each week (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown), but also other days of teaching and feasting chosen throughout the year, the days chose as the best times in an agricultural community to remember how and why He did His past deeds of deliverance and to meditate upon the callings of God. All of these Sabbaths had one core purpose, to actually do God’s works of learning about Him and His creations, especially our siblings in the midst of the congregation, so our spirits might then serve Him and His creations through love. And we were to trust in God on that day, by doing absolutely nothing for our own glory or through selfish ambitions, only God’s works. This was a day to cease from all works for our flesh, so our elect spirits could use our flesh entirely for God’s works of learning and loving.

The Old Covenant Sabbaths were meant to be days when we sacrificially served God alone, days entirely dedicated to fulfilling God’s will; to learn about Him and His ways which He revealed in His Word, to help those in need through love, and to do true justice. As Jesus often pointed out, God’s Sabbath laws were never meant to provide a self-indulgent rest for the flesh, nor to oppress the flesh through countless petty, man-made regulations. Instead, Sabbaths were for willingly and

 

Page 344

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

gladly doing works which give rest to our elect human spirits, which refresh our inner lives and strengthen our loving relationships with God. Also, God commanded that the Old Covenant Levitical priesthood must live their entire lives in a perpetual Sabbath, seven days per week. For they were to serve God alone every day, and were forbidden to do anything through selfish ambitions. Levites were to dedicate their whole lives to serving God and were to seek no inheritance, except their God.

Then the New Covenant Sabbath was to fulfill all the Old Covenant Sabbath laws. Thus, the New Covenant Scriptures command: “Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him” (Col. 3:17, ESV). This command is God’s law for His Levitical priesthood, because all true Christians are the new “royal priesthood” of God. And this command leaves us with absolutely nothing that we may do for selfish ambitions or for worldly gain. Since we must do every word and deed “in the name of the Lord Jesus,” it means that we must do every word and deed according to His will and command, not according to our own wills or some human god’s commands. And it also means that we must do every word and deed for the good of the estate of our Lord Jesus, which includes God’s kingdom on earth and His kingdom in heaven. It means that the only inheritance we should ever work for is Jesus, who shares His entire estate with us and makes it our inheritance. It means that we should be “heavenly minded,” that the entire focus of our lives should rest upon our God Jesus in heaven, and not upon things of this earth.

The Holy Spirit of Jesus taught us that all who enter a New Covenant relationship with Him are His royal priesthood (I Pet. 2:9). And priests of God represent God before the faces of His creations, as well as represent His creations before the face of God. As priests of God, we are to serve Him in all His fulfilled ways, and are not allowed to seek any inheritance from Satan’s world order, nor from the devil’s ruthless demon of oppression and exploitation called Mammon. If our only eternal and useful inheritance can be God Himself, and we do all our works for God every day, but do not do any works for ourselves through selfish ambitions, we fulfill the Old Covenant Sabbath laws every day. True Christians treat all the days of the week and the year as Sabbath days, as the days we set aside for God’s works alone. All our earthly possessions are to be used for the glory of God and for the works He wills us to do for His creations, starting with wise good works for the people God places closest to us, the members of our biological or church families, and all other elect souls.

After the prophecy about a time when God would bless the one who kept justice and righteousness, including His Sabbaths, Isaiah spoke about God’s acceptance of the Gentiles. For God would gather them into the same blessings as the Jews, through the Messiah. God declared: “Let no foreigner who has joined himself to [Yahweh] speak, saying, ’[Yahweh] will surely separate me from His people’” (Is. 56:3, WEB). This included eunuchs, whom God symbolically prohibited from entering His temple during Old Covenant times, since they could not bear children for God. So their acceptance through the Messiah implies that eunuchs will bear spiritual offspring for God in the New Covenant times. God will not separate any Gentile elect from the Jewish elect in His New Covenant church of Israel, in His new and everlasting priesthood created through His works as our Messiah. Although Yahweh has already gathered His own Sabbath-keeping Jewish “outcasts” into Israel, He will also gather Gentiles who also keep His Sabbaths into Israel. When our God and Messiah Jesus returns, then God’s temple in Jerusalem “will be called a house of prayer for all peoples” (Is. 56:7, WEB).

And, during His first advent, when Jesus told the Jews that He was their Good Shepherd, He also told them: “I have other sheep which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice. They will become one flock with one Shepherd” (John 10:16, WEB). And here Jesus was alluding to this Messianic prophecy in Isaiah. For Isaiah’s prophecy declared this about the future Messiah: “The Lord [Yahweh], who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, ‘I will yet gather others to

Page 345

Last Days Timeline

 

Him, in addition to His own who are gathered’” (Is. 56:8, WEB). Here, those “others” referred to the “foreigners” or “Gentiles” who would someday keep true Sabbaths, whom Yahweh would gather to the Messiah along with “the outcasts of Israel,” who would also keep true Sabbaths. So, in Isaiah and through Jesus, we find out that the sinful, idol-worshiping, pagan Gentiles, who were never in the priesthood of Israel, as well as the “outcasts” of Israel, the physical descendants of Jacob who were cast out of their land because of their sins, will both be gathered into the one true New Covenant priesthood of Israel, as one flock with the Messiah as their Good Shepherd. Then both will keep the true Sabbaths of God, as one people of God. In the end times, after Jesus returns, all will be taught by the same Messiah, share the same Sabbath teaching times together, and commune in the same Sabbath meals together. Both will do the same good works of justice and righteousness together.

But if God Himself shall bring the elect Gentile sinners into the same Israel that the sinful elect Jewish “outcasts” already belong to, then neither shall enter into the Messiah’s New Covenant Israel through their own works of justice and righteousness. Gentiles cannot enter by their own supposedly “free wills,” since God only made the New Covenant with Judah and Israel, not with any Gentiles of any kind. Even so, Jews cannot enter through their own supposed “free wills” either, since God clearly stated that His New Covenant would be entirely the work of His own power and grace upon sinners, so it cannot be through human works of supposedly “free wills.” Then the New Covenant could not have been made only with the physical descendants of Jacob because, from the days of Jacob’s twelve sons, God has been gathering Gentiles into His priesthood of Israel, and most of them into the tribe of Judah, some of whom are the ancestors of the Messiah’s body of flesh. And God has always called those Gentiles His people. Even when thousands of Gentile slaves joined Israel’s exodus from Egypt, Gentiles from Canaan and Africa, God called them all “Israel.” Therefore, God has never defined Israel as that which only consists of the physical descendants of Jacob. Likewise, the New Covenant priesthood of Israel, when the Messiah returns in the end times, will consist of both elect Gentiles and elect Jews. However, it will not consist of Gentiles alone nor Jews alone.

Throughout history, there have been many antisemitic churchians, who like to delude themselves into thinking they are superior to Jews. In other words, they proudly declare, “God will surely separate me from His people of Israel,” but not humbly like the Gentiles in Isaiah’s prophecy. In Isaiah’s Messianic prophecy about the end times, God told us there would be elect Gentiles who would think they were unworthy to be gathered into God’s one and only priesthood of Israel. But, so far, I mostly see the other kind that Jesus warned us about, the antisemitic religious bigots and anti-truth pseudo churches who persecute those who speak the truth in Jesus’ name. In our day, the fake humanistic churches still somehow think God will exalt their loveless, bullying hides above all the natural citizens of God’s priestly nation and all who truly bear the name of the Creator God Jesus.

But a knowledge of truths and realities is growing, to prepare the elect for the coming great revival of the sixth seal. So God is indeed separating those antisemitic fake churches from His Jewish elect of Israel, as His enemies, as well as from His Gentile elect. For God is now dividing the elect from the non-elect more than ever before, in preparation for His wrath and judgment of the entire world.

God will cast most of those non-elect Roman religious and secular bigots into hell, since God promised He would dishonor all who dishonored Jacob’s physical descendants. On the other hand, some elect Gentiles are actually aware that the end times are near, and have begun to worry about not being loved by God as much as the natural-born Jews, especially after they realize that God only gave the promises of His New Covenant salvation to Judah and Israel alone, not to any kind of Gentiles. Our God Jesus also ordained only Jews to fulfill a special role as His servants, as special priests, as His disciples and apostles under His direct authority during His first advent, and will do so

Page 346

again after His return, during the future millennium. But those worried Gentiles forget that a Jew in the temporary flesh is not always a true Jew, and an elect Gentile in the temporary flesh is indeed an heir of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, a full member within Jesus’ tribe of Judah, as much as any Jew.

Every elect spirit was born into God’s family, as His permanently and unconditionally beloved child, forever a member of God’s priesthood once each has been perfected and completed on the last day. And God does not love nor hate any eternal human spirit based upon the genetic attributes of the temporary body of flesh belonging to that spirit. Also, a spirit is neither a Jew nor a Gentile, neither a male nor a female, neither high born nor low born, because all these attributes of the flesh shall burn into nothing on the day that God destroys the entire material universe before the judgment day. God loves all His elect spirits equally, not based on any physical or spiritual qualities, since literally all our physical and spiritual attributes were freely granted to each elect soul through His grace and solely for His purposes alone. God created each elect spirit to find joy in a unique calling which He appointed each to fulfill in heaven, a calling which each elect spirit begins to train for here on earth.

God grants a body of flesh to each elect spirit so each can be taught and trained for one’s own special predestined role in heaven, which will be the exact and precise role which each individual elect spirit will deeply desire, above all other possible roles. God does not grant bodies of flesh so that one elect soul can discriminate against another elect soul based solely upon a few attributes of the temporary flesh. Rather, if a particular heavenly role or occupation requires an elect spirit to be taught and trained in a Jewish body of flesh on earth, so that spirit learns to serve God in a certain way that could not be learned if that spirit was born in a Gentile body of flesh, then it does not make that spirit any greater or lesser than any other elect spirit. It only means that God has appointed that particular elect spirit a slightly different eternal destiny than an elect spirit granted a Gentile body of flesh on earth. And the destiny of each will be the only destiny desired by each, although both will utterly depend upon the other and upon God when they are fulfilling their respective destinies in heaven.

Why should any elect spirit complain to God about the temporary flesh He granted for such a short time on earth, since that flesh exists solely for the teaching and training of one’s eternal spirit? Or how can one think that one’s eternal role or occupation will be so much greater than that of an elect spirit who was granted a different temporary body of flesh, since the roles of both will be absolutely critical to one another in heaven? Furthermore, the greatest in heaven will be the servant of all, and likely will be the elect spirits who had the most humbling lives on earth, those who have partaken in the most of Christ’s sufferings. Thus, the least on earth may be the greatest of God’s servants in heaven, and vice versa. Yet, since all gifts of service employed by all the elect in heaven will have been freely granted through God’s unmerited grace alone, God will not love one more than the other.

Each elect spirit can only find perfect joy and love by becoming exactly what God created that particular spirit to become. And each can only find one’s true destiny by discovering and accepting the reality of what one actually is. Then one can only discover this by first casting off the delusions and lies of Satan’s world order, so one’s more rational mind of the elect spirit can perceive the physical and spiritual realities existing throughout one’s life. And we can only begin to cast off those delusions and lies, to start the long process of learning realities, if we first allow our elect spirits to hear and heed the Holy Spirit of Jesus, who made all spiritual and physical realities to be what they are, who causes our spirits to perceive all that our flesh sees, hears, feels, tastes and touches. But, in the end, our elect spirits only begin to awaken to the voice of Jesus when Jesus chooses to awaken our spirits. Therefore, our first imperative in life is to seek our God Jesus, so He can begin to build His just, wise and loving kingdom within us. We begin by praying for our God Jesus to save us from delusions and lies that dictate all the thoughts of our lives and make us into slaves of our daily sins.

If we try to fulfill our destinies by becoming more Jewish or more Gentile, we will only frustrate ourselves and cause ourselves far more futile pain than we would if we simply accepted and strove to fulfill our appointed, God-given destinies according to the biblical truths taught by the Holy Spirit of Jesus. Thus, it is pointless to join the humanistic churches and synagogues, who all attempt to do just that, who define “spirituality” in terms of the traditions invented by either “Jewish” or “Gentile” human gods. Truly, God is not and never has been a respecter of persons, has never classified any of His elect children according to superficial attributes of the flesh. And God definitely will never allow any human classes defined by Satan in his hierarchical world order, never call a human a “superior.”

God is a Spirit. And God must be completely honest, since His omnipotent power would destroy all the spiritual and physical realities that He created and maintains, if He ever contradicted or opposed any of the principles by which He holds all together. And the only reason God created all that exists permanently and temporarily is because He wanted to love and serve other eternal spirits, especially the human spirits He extracted from His Spirit, whom He formed in His own image. So God is only capable of fully and honestly loving other eternal spirits, not His temporary physical creations. And God cannot love any spirits due to any of their earthly perceptions of temporary physical realities, which He will destroy at the appointed time. None of the God-given attributes of temporary flesh, which He will utterly destroy through death, then burn at the end of this universe, are loved by God. God only values the ways He can employ our earthly perceptions of temporary physical existence to teach and train our eternal spirits to justly and wisely love. Therefore, all hierarchical class systems, racial or gender biases, illicit rights to oppress poorer siblings granted to worshipers of the demon Mammon, and other rewards based on flesh alone, are mere lies and delusions of Satan’s kingdom.

God ordained that literally all flesh will die, then burn into nothingness at the very end, together with the whole material universe. And God appointed temporary Jewish flesh to serve in various kinds of priestly roles, to serve Him by serving the rest of the world in His name. Then the physical city of Jerusalem and in the physical land of Israel will serve as the center of the Messiah’s teaching and training for elect souls during the millennium of Christ’s rule, but they too shall dissolve into nothing at the end. For they will be replaced by the eternal New Jerusalem and the eternal lands of heaven, where literally all the elect shall serve as His priests, both Jews and Gentiles. And, on earth, the duties of the Jewish elect priests in His eternal true church of Israel do not differ from those of the Gentile elect, except in very subtle symbolic ways. Yes, Jews will be in Israel and working more directly and more often with our King Jesus during the millennium. But none will have any more authority than any Gentile servants of Jesus, since both Jews and Gentiles will do all their works in the name of Jesus, that is, through His will, authority and commands, not through personal authority.

No human being ever actually bears any authority to do anything in one’s own human name. For the head of every man always will be the almighty Creator God, Jesus Himself. Then, because the minds of flesh in women are hard-wired to respond to the ways in which others perceive their words, actions and appearances, they always conform to the perceptions of others who are important to their lives, with a deference to the men who build the spiritual and moral structures in their lives. In the end, whether a man likes it or not, the only one who determines whether he lives by delusions or realities is our God Jesus. And, whether a woman likes it or not, her entire life is built upon the moral, cultural and spiritual structures provided by the men who mean the most to her inwardly.

Whether Jew or Gentile, male or female, all the awakened elect will perform the same kinds of works, as Jesus assigns each individual a unique array of tasks according to each one’s predestined calling. In all parts of the world during the millennium, all the elect will labor for the same Jesus through the same kind of love and in the same kind of fulfilling inner joy. Furthermore, the real

Page 348

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

Jesus, His very Spirit, will always be together with the spirits of all the elect everywhere they go, and both the Jewish and Gentile bodies of flesh will go to Jerusalem to hear Jesus’ counsel as well.

All the elect have bodies that were created for their specific and various roles by God Himself, in a way where they will enjoy doing those kinds of works more than anything else. All who know the Scriptures know that not one of God’s elect children will have a spirit that is any less beloved of God than any other elect spirit. The difference in each one’s God-ordained, God-created and God-enabled role in the flesh will never make any difference to the quantity or quality of God’s love for the spirit.

So now that we have hopefully dismissed the way that false churches and synagogues emphasize only matters of the flesh, let us look again at Isaiah’s prophecy, and how he seemed to think that loving justice and righteousness revolved around the inner desire of a soul to keep the Sabbath. Isaiah basically defined the true Sabbath of the real God as choosing to please God by holding fast to God’s covenant. And, in Isaiah’s Messianic prophecy, he was more specifically referring to the New Covenant worked by the Messiah, where God promised to bind a deep, loving relationship between Him and His people, through His works of causing His people to fulfill His Law. We know Isaiah was referring to the New Covenant because he wrote about God giving His people “an everlasting name,” which is only possible through the New Covenant salvation in the Messiah Jesus. Only God’s unconditional New Covenant promises specified anything remotely resembling an eternal relationship with God, where He gives an eternal name to His people and where His people bear His name eternally. The conditional Old Covenant never promised anything like that through a human spirit’s will to obey His Law, without the counsel, teaching, training and power of Jesus’ Holy Spirit.

So, in essence, Isaiah was implying that, when the Messiah came to rule the earth, all the elect on earth, both Jews and Gentiles, would long to keep the Sabbath, even as true priests zealously keep the Sabbath seven days a week. All would strongly desire to remain in the Sabbath rest from selfish ambitions and the need to serve the ruthless dictates of the demon Mammon. All would fervently hope to spend all day and every day serving God alone, by doing His good, wise, loving works for His creations. All would highly value the Sabbath teaching times, where they could discuss the truths of God which set them free from lies and sins, and learn from our God Jesus as His faithful disciples in their spirits’ communion with His Spirit. All would rejoice in the opportunity to truly fellowship with siblings during the Sabbath meals and as all did God’s Sabbath works together as one family.

Many souls cannot look beyond this life in the temporary flesh, into eternal life. So they lose faith when they see how some have “made a name for themselves” through their greed and lust for power in Satan’s world order. They forget that their lord Satan only awards glory and honor to his most evil and deceiving children, to those willing to sacrifice the lives of their own siblings in the family of humankind through their selfish ambitions. Then some who cannot bear children from their own bodies, lose faith when they see how others leave their “names” in the world through their physical offspring, especially if their children keep their “names” alive by becoming “successful” in Satan’s world order. But all this is meaningless, worthless, useless, empty vanity. But God has promised us an “everlasting name,” a name of justice and righteousness, an eternal name that cannot be forgotten in heaven, as names always are on earth. And this name shall be allowed to enter God’s Sabbath rest.

Only God is able to create whole human beings. Only God can place an eternal spirit within a body of flesh, and call Himself the Father of that spirit. So no man nor woman can possibly be the real, eternal parent of any child. God alone is the only true, eternal, real Father of all the elect. Let every childless soul remember this, and focus on fulfilling his or her destiny as a child of the Father in heaven. Then one will have countless children in one’s old age on earth, even all the elect youth

living upon the entire earth. For all will be one family, even an eternal family, when we enter into the Sabbath rest of our Messiah Jesus, when we all actively commune with Him and with one another.

This Messianic prophecy, like many of Isaiah’s other prophecies, speaks about the time of Christ’s rule, when the Jerusalem temple will be “a house of prayer for all nations,” not just for the Jews. Then, clearly, when this prophecy quotes Yahweh God declaring that He “will gather yet others to Him,” Yahweh meant that He would gather Gentiles to “Him,” and this third-person singular pronoun at the end of the clause referred to the Messiah, which is how Jesus also interpreted it (John 10:16). In context, this pronoun cannot refer to anyone else. Especially in the last days, in the era of the sixth seal, Yahweh will gather Gentile “foreigners” to Jesus, causing them to join themselves to Him, to serve Him and His purposes, in a way that fulfills the purposes of all the Sabbath laws that God gave us through Moses. Also, in context, the pronoun “Him” must refer both to Yahweh God and to the Messiah, to both at the same time. So Yahweh is Jesus and Jesus is Yahweh. It is Yahweh who will bring these Gentiles to His Holy Mountain, which is the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. And it is also the Messiah who will do this. Here , both Yahweh and Jesus are portrayed as the same God. There is only one God, although God in both the Old and New Covenant Scriptures relates to us and to the rest of His creation as three Persons, as the Father in heaven, as the Messiah walking among us in a body of human flesh, and as the Holy Spirit dwelling inside our hearts with our own spirits.

Furthermore, because Isaiah’s prophecy is about the Messiah’s rule on earth, which will only occur after Jesus returns, it also prophesies about a third temple that will soon be built Jerusalem, before Jesus will return. For Isaiah’s prophecy proclaimed that not only Jews, but also Gentiles will make “burnt offerings” and “sacrifices” when the Messiah rules, that is, during the millennium, after Jesus returns. And these rituals will be made in the same way the Jews did in the days of Isaiah, as well as in exactly the same place on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. For God’s Law only allows sacrifices to be made at His one and only chosen place in Jerusalem, even until the end of earthly time. Some say this prophecy cannot be fulfilled, because Jews have never allowed Gentiles into the parts of the temple where sacrifices are made. But our God Jesus joins Gentiles to Israel and qualifies them to enter the temple. Also, some say the Muslims will never hand over the Temple Mount to the Jews, and will never allow them to replace their buildings there with a Jewish temp. However, there will be no Muslims in the era of the seventh seal. Rather, in several prophecies, we find out that many of the Muslim lands will convert to Christianity, including Egypt, Assyria and other lands near Israel.

Then Isaiah prophesied, “All you beasts of the field, come to devour—all you beasts in the forest” (Is. 56:9, ESV). These “beasts” coming to devour God’s disobedient people of Israel are from “fields” and “forests,” from both well-developed and under-developed lands. And, just as Daniel called the great end-times persecutor of God’s people a “beast,” Isaiah also calls these persecutors of Israel “beasts.” Some “beasts of the field” may be more “civilized” and attack Israel through their financial sanctions and other legal means. Then the “beasts in the forest” may engage in terrorist attacks, like wild cats leaping from hidden perches in trees or from behind dense shrubbery. But many will come to devour Israel in the days before the Messiah shall come to rule over the earth.

When those “beasts” attack, Isaiah prophesied that the people of Israel will have “watchmen” who are “blind” and “without knowledge,” who are like “dogs” who love to sleep, but are so hungry that they “never have enough” (Is. 56:10-11a, ESV). So this would refer to greedy governing officials who do no work for the people and are blind to approaching dangers, since they know nothing. Israel at that time will also have “shepherds” with “no understanding,” so “they have all turned to their own way, each to his own gain.” Then these priests and spiritual leaders are also self-indulgent fools, who drink wine and hard liquor, thinking “tomorrow will be like this day, great beyond measure”

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

(56:11b-12, ESV). So, just before the end times, Israel will have spiritual and moral teachers who know neither God nor the Scriptures, do not comprehend the deadly effects of sin nor the rewards of truth, justice and love, so they will invent false doctrines to provide themselves with personal gain. So the way Isaiah described Israel just before the end times, not long before Jesus returns, is not very flattering. And Isaiah would have been referring to Israel in these current times of the fifth seal’s era.

Since Israel will be so corrupt and spiritually dead as the end times are approaching, God will call the “beasts” to devour His people. Since Israel will not do God’s works of feeding the hungry, and are optimistic in spite of the dark gloom of mankind’s sins, as God’s heavy wrath about to fall on the world around them, God will strike His people with many blows, although He will leave a remnant. And this is what we have seen during this era of the fifth seals persecutions against those who bear God’s name. The the greatest persecutions of Israel, in all history, have been occurring for more than a century. The antisemitism of the Russian pogroms and the Nazi Holocaust are still felt to this day. And, although God prophesied that Israel would return to their promised land, so they will not be removed from that land, they have suffered through many wars and terrorist attacks from “beasts.”

Of course, God punishes His own sinful and harmful children first. Then His wrath shall fall upon the ruthless, lying and murdering non-elect in false churches and secular governments after that, but with far greater devastation, without leaving even a tiny remnant behind by the day of His return. Nevertheless, the unfaithful and unloving Jewish Israel in their land, as well as the selfish and self-indulgent Jewish and Gentile elect throughout the world, will suffer greatly before the sixth seal’s revival and the seventh seal’s utter destruction of the beast’s Roman kingdom. And this will occur while the fifth seal’s persecutions occur against the more faithful elect who proclaim truths in God’s name. Yet Isaiah seemed to imply that God’s people will not catch on to what is happening to both the faithful and unfaithful elect in those days: “The righteous man perishes and no one lays it to heart; devout men are taken away, while no one understands” (Is. 57:1a, ESV). And what they do not seem to understand is that death is a peaceful rest for the awakened elect: “For the righteous man is taken away from calamity; he enters into peace; they rest in the beds who walk in their uprightness” (Is. 57:1b-2, ESV). In the fifth seal’s era, very few will understand that the “bed” of a grave, a death for sake of justice, equity and love, is not a terror to be feared, but is an eternal Sabbath with God.

Isaiah describes the people in days before the Messiah’s second advent as those who “draw near” to God, and even do some good deeds in His name, as though they worship Him. Yet many are “sons of the sorceress,” like the Faith Movement churches who claim to worship God but practice an ancient form of witchcraft instead, by “naming and claiming” Satan’s invention of money and other worldly rewards through their wills of flesh. These fake worshipers of God are a vain “mocking” people, the children of “transgression” and “deceit,” “burning with lust,” idolaters who “slaughter” their own children and worship their false gods in secret. So God responds: “Whom did you dread and fear, so that you lied, and did not remember Me, did not lay it to heart? Have I not held My peace, even for a long time, and you do not fear Me? I will declare your righteousness and your deeds, but they will not profit you. When you cry out, let your collection of idols deliver you!” (Is. 57:11-13a, ESV).

In our day, each false church and synagogue actually worships many human gods, but never really the one real God, Yahweh Jesus. And, yes, they do cry out to their “collection of Idols,” expecting those liars to save them, but never pray honestly from their spirits to the real God. Still, there are a few elect who keep their spirits’ faith in God and His words. So God also promised: “But he who takes refuge in Me shall possess the land and shall inherit My holy mountain” (Is. 57:13b, ESV). And inheriting God’s holy mountain is a huge reward, for that is where God’s presence resides.

There are times when a land becomes so utterly corrupt that only the most worthless, psychopathic, vile and ignorant souls can thrive in it. But the psychopathic elite, in places like Hitler’s Germany, Putin’s Russia, Trump’s MAGA states and many Muslim nations, love corrupt lands, so they can oppress and murder with impunity. To them, the more corruption the better, since it enables them to enslave the productive, just, wise, loving elect, and murder all who oppose them. Of course, that corruption not only causes excessive suffering for their people, but destroys those psychopaths in the very end as well. However, psychopaths seldom look that far into the future, and think they will live and enjoy their power forever. So they carry on their ruthless works until their last moments of life.

And now, just before the end times begin, the non-elect are attempting to corrupt the whole world because their hellish father knows his time on earth is coming to an end. In the past, only some places became so evil that the righteous had to hide from the psychopathic liars who ruled their land. Not too long ago, a few elect could escape to secluded places or other lands, when God cursed their own lands for allowing illicit rulers to take over, instead of vetting their authorities and choosing only the honest, just, loving men whom God had chosen for them. Even in the worst and darkest lands, some loving elect could hide and find rest in some truth from God. Yet, in our day, almost every place and every aspect of life in almost every nation on earth is being watched, guarded and ruled by liars, by humanists of one sort or another, although the elect are also growing stronger too.

Whenever the elect become so weak and ignorant that they allow ruthless, immoral, lying criminals to govern them, to control every aspect of their lives, horrifying tragedies inevitably sweep over their land. So the elect must remain awake enough to speak out and nullify the lies and ruthless works of Satan. And, to begin with, the elect must keep at least some of their churches pure, free from the humanistic lies of deceivers, since nullifying the devil’s works is a task of Jesus that all the elect on earth, even the sleeping elect, must share with Him. Those churches must maintain some core truths of just, equitable love, then publicly proclaim and apply them as much as possible, to keep the elect in their land aware of God and His ways. If the elect do that much, even as a tiny minority in their land, the power of our God Jesus will stir the consciences of His elect and put fear in the non-elect.

Of course, our God Jesus does not rule by fear. He only causes the deluded non-elect to fear the truth and justice enough to prevent them from doing too much evil, and to flee from those who shine His light from within their hearts. In the meantime, God always allows freedom of speech and freedom of conscience because His salvation is His work upon the spirits inside His elect, not a work of men who strive to coerce or deceive the mind of flesh into suppressing all the inner spiritual works of God. And God allows these freedoms in every land because His light of just, equitable, loving truth always penetrates and overcomes the darkness of the non-elect lies and delusions. There has never been a time when God’s power to shine His spiritual light has not been able to overcome darkness.

However, if the elect grow so carnal that they no longer value the just, equitable, loving truths of God, and let their minds of flesh suppress the voices of their spirits in their souls, so they walk according to the flesh and are not taught by God, all hell’s darkness floods into their land. If elect spirits will not guard the truth in their souls, Satan will send his psychopathic fake preachers and secular leaders to take over as their lying lords and gods. Then those vile gods make their churches and nations so oppressive that, if anyone utters any kind of real truth, any spiritual realities created by God, those rulers will threaten, imprison or even kill those honest souls, and can do so with absolute impunity. It is always the elect who ultimately cause the fall of a land into ruthless darkness, even into religion of the devil’s beast called fascism, which worships a human god and the demon Mammon above all other gods. It is always the elect who cause this, since the elect are the only light of their land, the only valuable salt wages of a land, the only ones who can prevent such a

Page 352

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

disaster, simply by allowing the power of God’s light to shine through them, so it may overcome the darkness. So, if the elect begin to worship Mammon more than the real God, and also esteem and serve human gods more than the real God, in order to gain trinkets for their flesh, their land dies.

When this kind of lawlessness occurs, it often becomes easier for an honest, elect child of God to simply die in the flesh and return to the Father. But that is not what our Father wants from us. Rather, He wants us to work and to endure in the flesh on earth until our God Jesus returns to rule the earth. For the perceptions of this physical life on earth serve a very real and critical role in the development of elect spirits, not just for each individual elect spirit, but for the entire family of elect spirits. And, in this earthly labor of nullifying Satan’s works and building up God’s just, loving kingdom on earth, our Father also wants some elect to establish places on earth where truth and freedom of conscience will be expressed when the wrath of God finally comes to judge and remove that devil’s kingdom from the earth, during the era seventh seal. And, to establish true churches in nations, so that those lands will then only choose honest, just, equitable, loving servants of God to serve as their decision-making authorities, only those whom God chose and sealed with His sign of heavenly righteousness, many elect spirits must first learn to heed God more than all other gods. Then they will speak the truth in zealous, guarding, protecting love from their spirits in their hearts, in a way where its bright light will shine into the darkness and, through God’s power alone, dissolve the lies of that darkness.

Isaiah’s prophecy was right. Fulfilling the Sabbath rest, by allowing one’s spirit to fully serve God and His creations through an inner zeal for the just and equitable truths taught directly by His Holy Spirit, and doing this through God-like love, while disregarding all selfish ambitions for the rewards of Satan’s world order, is one of the most critical works of the elect during this era of the fifth seal.

We need to trust in Jesus’ power and truth, then express this faith through our flesh in our earthly lives. At the same time, we must know what to expect, and flee from the counterattacks of Satan’s minions, who will be merciless in their desperation to silence us. And we must stop trusting in false hopes preached by the lying human gods sent by that devil. For they want to enslave us in delusions so we might labor at building up their demonic, self-serving, oppressive kingdoms. When any land becomes utterly corrupt, the elect must realize that God’s wrath shall fall upon it, casting it into ever more dark and violent delusions, until they destroy their own flesh and their whole land. The more godless a land becomes, the more it will harm and kill itself, together with all who dare to serve that land. And all the dark delusions and lies an evil nation embraces are themselves God’s punishment, God’s condemnation of the people in that land. For God casts all who do not love His just and loving truths into great delusions, all who cherish spiritual darkness more than spiritual light. So, if the elect refuse to guard the just, equitable, loving principles which God has written in all of His spiritual and physical creations, as well as in His Book, they too will become lying, violent, wailfully ignorant, selfish, blind, thoroughly deluded souls who destroy others and themselves, just like the non-elect.

Even if the elect become captives of sins like greed and sexual immorality, or their flesh is bound by addictions, let them begin to speak and apply the truths which God’s Holy Spirit is now continuously teaching to their spirits in their hearts. For salvation is a process which begins with small things, like a little seed which grows into a massive tree. The elect know who they are, because they are the only ones who experience at least a little God-like, unconditional, protective, serving, truly beneficial kind of love in their spirits. Now is the time to silence the mind of flesh and let that kind of love grow inside them, so they can nullify the works of Satan and build up God’s just, loving kingdom on the earth. For the sixth seal’s revival is coming, followed by a horrifying judgment of all the earth.

 

Page 353

Last Days Timeline

 

If the elect remain stubbornly carnal, and do not truly repent in ways that bear real loving and just fruits for the real God, God will cover their land with darkness. God will hand all over to their own beloved delusions and lies, which shall destroy them. History has seen this kind of punishment from God occur over and over again. And no wicked, unjust nation has ever escaped from God’s wrath. Still, men are extremely stupid and never learn from history. So they repeat the same mistakes over and over again. They rid themselves of all awakened watchmen and destroy all the true shepherds sent by God. Then their land ends up wounding or outright killing itself, causing massive suffering and countless deaths. When the psychopathic rulers first rise to power, promising a fake salvation, with pleasures and prosperity for the flesh, the people rejoice, and will even call those vile leaches their saviors and gods. They will esteem and serve those parasites like worshiping slaves, hoping that their empty promises will be fulfilled. But only those worshiped psychopaths and their most faithful dupes ever gain a few moments of empty gratification for the pride and lusts of their flesh, after they gain power. Meanwhile, all others suffer to provide those carnal pleasures for those elite.

Satan’s most obedient psychopaths are always eager to become the gods of the people, but always make life into a living hell for all their worshipers, then murder all who refuse to worship them. And, if the people rebel, they further dehumanize them and crush their spirits, censoring and silencing any truth or honest soul sent by the real God. So, in the heavily guarded darkness of their delusions, the blinded people think the only way to escape the claws of their destroying and oppressing human god is to find another lawless, psychopathic human god to overcome their previous human god. But that new psychopathic god soon makes their lives just as hellish as the old psychopathic god did, or even worse. So the people in darkness rebel again and seek another newer human god to worship, who does the same evil works of Satan and the demon Mammon. This futile process continues until they utterly destroy themselves. The blind never learn, never repent, never realize that they are their own worst enemies. They never seek the light of the truth, nor acknowledge that God alone is God, and all men have weak, infantile spirits which cannot rule their own lives as their own gods, much less as the gods of other humans and God’s creations. So, because humans are so blind and self-destructive, the elect need to rest in God, let their spirits heed His counsel and serve as lamps shining His light.

This cycle of self-destruction pretty much sums up the history of all the nations of the world today, since all have become humanists through the works of Babylon, Persia, Greece and especially Rome. All have been arrogant, self-exalting, unjust, immoral, exploitative, deceitful, violent, secretive, manipulative, deluded and godless nations who worship human gods in their religious and secular institutions. All have also murdered their own children of their own religious or national families through their worship of idolized human gods. All have mocked the real God, the truths of the real God and God’s true elect children. In fact, all have outright persecuted and killed anyone who practices any truly just, God-like love. All have committed all the sins Isaiah prophesied about, for the era of the fifth seal, for the days occurring just before the end times and the Messiah’s return.

But why do the elect still cling to the lies of humanism, and insist on empowering human gods in the self-destructive hierarchical systems of their churches and governments? Surely, by now, they have seen enough of the evil they have caused by not allowing our God Jesus to become the only Head of every man. After two millenniums, the elect should inwardly know humans cannot be gods, and that those systems of Roman humanism will eventually destroy them. So why do they desert God and cast aside His truths that have been written in His creations since the beginning of time, and refuse to heed His voice when He continuously speaks to their spirits, warning them about their ways and calling them to do what is right? Why do their spirits still make a covenant with demons and human

 

Page 354

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

gods who falsely promise to gratify the lusts of their flesh, even when they know that those demons and human gods will cause them to pay the price of death for that worthless, empty gratification?

All covenants of faithfulness and love in all elect spirits must be made in the presence of God, since only God can ratify and uphold those covenants in our lives. A spirit’s covenant of the spirit’s love and faithfulness with one’s spouse, or with the true elect of God in a church or nation, needs to be witnessed and “signed” by God, or it will not valid and will not be upheld by the power and counsel of God. Thus, the spirits of the elect will never be able to make a binding covenant with demons and human liars, will never be able to make any kind of oath, vow or promise which God will recognize and uphold with His power, and with the warning rebukes or encouraging remarks of His Holy Spirit’s counsel granted directly to their spirits. Yet the elect still try to make covenants of love and loyalty in their spirits with devils like the demon Mammon, and with their psychopathic human gods, because those evil spirits give their bodies of flesh a false hope for the gratification of their carnal desires, and because they care nothing for the things of the spirit. Then those demons and human gods provide warning rebukes and encouraging remarks as their counsel for those minds of flesh in the elect, which the emotions of the flesh in those elect somehow mistake for the counsel of God, because those elect have allowed their minds of flesh to suppress and silence their own spirits.

From what I see of the elect today, whenever their hope is exposed as a false hope, and their lives become hopeless, they still refuse to turn to the real God or to the proven wisdom of His ways. And this hardness of the elect needs to change soon. And it will. For Isaiah prophesied that God will cause them to hear Him, so they also will “take refuge” in Him, so they “shall possess the land and shall inherit [His] holy mountain.” Isaiah recorded God’s proclamation: “Build up, build up, prepare the way, remove every obstruction from My people’s way” (Is. 57:14, ESV). This will happen because the power of God will cause it to happen. God’s kingdom will begin to be built up during the latter part of the fifth seal’s era, to “prepare the way” for the great revival in the era of the sixth seal. And, at the very beginning of the sixth seal’s era, God will send earthquake and “stars” that strike the earth like bombs, to destroy the oppressive financial, military and legal systems of the world order. And this will “remove every obstruction from [His] people’s way,” especially the great “obstruction” of lies and delusions from Satan’s fourth Roman kingdom. But the time when His elect “shall possess the land and shall inherit [His] holy mountain” will only begin during the sixth seal’s era, in some lands, as Israel rebuilds His temple, and will only be completed after Jesus has returned.

At the present time, I still see most of the elect, after they have been beaten down and wearied by the demons and human gods they trusted with the invalid covenants of their hearts, searching for new demons and human gods to save their flesh and renew their false hopes. Then, once those new false hopes are crushed to dust, they seek yet another demon or human god to renew their false hopes. So the cycle never stops, and generation after generation destroys itself, as well as many other innocent souls around them. I once asked a fairly honest and loving secular humanist, who seemed to be one the hidden and sleeping elect, why he did not believe in God. He said it was because, if he believed in God, he would not be able to have sex with the women he was exploiting. But, as long as he did not believe that God existed, he could do whatever he wanted. And, if there was a God, that God would need to excuse his ignorance, because he did not have any way of knowing a real God existed.

Of course, that secular humanist was lying to himself, by suppressing his own spirit’s voice within his soul, so his mind of flesh could rule over his entire life. For he already knew that the real Creator God did not approve of his selfish exploitation of women. So his elect spirit, which was quite loving and honest, was actually hearing the counsel of Jesus’ Holy Spirit granted to his spirit, with rebukes against his exploitative ways and His encouragement to repent into the truths about loving covenants

of marriage. But that young and lusty man did not want to hear those truths. Still, he did hear God’s voice regarding care for the needy, as well as many other spiritual and moral truths. And most elect spirits are not even that honest or awake, especially the elect sleeping in fake humanistic churches.

If all elect humanists were honest, they would all admit similar reasons for not believing in God or God’s ways. The only reason they don’t want to believe in either God or His ways—even though all His ways have always proven to be the most beneficial for all and are clearly revealed in all His creations—is because they want to pursue the greedy desires, carnal lusts and pride of their flesh. It is as simple as that. And all the heresies of the Great Prostitute and her humanistic daughter churches are experts at appealing to the greedy desires, carnal lusts and pride of their flesh, even in a way which deludes the elect that they are serving God by seeking to fulfill their destructive wills of flesh.

The only reason the fake, humanistic churches refuse to accept the biblical truths about life and faith is because of their desires for personal gain, lusts for pleasures of the flesh and pride which covets human esteem. For instance, when Martin Luther criticized the core doctrines of the Roman church in the spring of 1517, they yawned and did nothing. For the vast majority of their dupes were so blinded and brainwashed by their propaganda and fear-mongering that they could not even begin to comprehend what Luther was actually teaching, and would not take the time to try to understand because they feared their human gods so much. Thus, even the most valid and biblical criticisms from Luther did not have any effect, and the psychopathic human gods of that church did not even bother to persecute him. But later, in the same year, Luther wrote another 95 theses against some relatively minor false doctrines of the church, thinking these would be ignored like the previous 99 theses, which were critical of their core doctrines. However, this time the Roman church attacked Luther with all its might and even tried to kill him. Why? It was because Luther’s lesser doctrines of the 95 theses helped the people realize that their supposedly God-ordained elite human gods in the church were stealing their money for personal profit and glory. Thus, some of their worldly people, including some of the rich, stopped giving money to the charlatans which the church sent out to deceive the people. Since this effectively caused the greedy gods of the fake church to loose income, which they needed to pay for their self-indulgent ways and personal prostitutes, the Roman church instantly attacked Luther. So the only thing which caused those worldly people to rebel against that thoroughly evil humanistic church was the greed of most people, and most elect remained deluded.

The Roman church, and all its daughters, do not care about how much they destroy the spiritual and physical lives of their people. All they really care about is maintaining their power over the people and their income from their dupes. The way Satan’s world order and its institutions keep its people faithfully sinning and supporting its evil subject kingdoms is by promising three things: (1) to gratify the lowest and most base lusts of the flesh, (2) to grant the flesh enough power and entitlement to gratify is basest cravings, and/or (3) to puff up the pride and self-esteem of the flesh. And only lies and delusions can accomplish such things, then falsely justify such things as the will of their gods.

Only lies and delusions can fool the people, even the elect for a time, into thinking their sins are good, even approved by the God of the Bible. A system of false teachings in a false religion is needed to subjugate the people and keep them serving as the enslaved dupes of the elite, who are themselves enslaved dupes of devils. Nothing but false doctrines that appeal to the strong desires, lusts and pride of the flesh can maintain the religious and secular institutions of Satan’s world order. Only an intense focus on things of the flesh, including physical rituals of fake churches, performed in a way that disregards the continuous counsel of God granted to all elect spirits, can keep the dupes in their kingdoms from realizing that their human gods are actually robbing from and destroying their lives with impunity. Only carnal delusions can prevent their dupes from realizing that the wage

of sin is always and inevitably death, as all history proves. Lies and sins never lead to a better life. Yet, to this day, the dupes in false churches and secular institutions remain loyal to the psychopathic human gods who exploit them, even as those worshiped illicit authorities, whom they esteem and serve far more than the real God, are devouring their own lives and the lives of their loved ones.

As God declared through Isaiah, whenever He sees a person do anything truly righteous, He will declare it to be righteous, even if a complete hypocrite does it, because God cannot lie about what is good or what is evil. God does this so all may see that He condones righteousness, sometimes even when it is done insincerely or with evil motives. Of course, God never lets anyone spiritually profit from any kind of hypocritical righteousness done through wrong motives, although He does allow Satan’s world order to reward that hypocrisy. And God also allows some of the needy to temporarily profit from hypocritical good works, even though that hypocrisy is a greater sin than murder, since its lies promote idolatry, the worship of false human gods who destroy life. Fake righteousness done through wrong motives, good deeds done to advertise a sinful human god’s fake righteousness and purchase good will from those who see them, can be used by God to bless some souls. For God can even cause the minds of the non-elect to do those good and just deeds for the sakes of needy souls.

However, when the evil do good deeds to deceive others, when they only pretend to be good, it always backfires on them in the end, and very often even while they remain alive on the earth. Now the worst of their punishments will be felt on the judgment day, when Jesus examines the motives of each spirit in each heart. Yet men are also severely punished for their hypocrisy here on earth, not always directly by God, but through God’s works in human beings. For, when the people discover that an evil man only pretended to be good, they become enraged, and many will even seek revenge, especially the non-elect. And the wrath of a non-elect man against a hypocrite who has exploited him, by pretending to be a good man, is usually far greater than that man’s anger regarding a murder, especially if the murderer had never pretended to be a good man. For the loveless non-elect seldom become personally offended by the murder of any sibling in the family of humankind. But a non-elect man is deeply and personally offended by anyone who dupes him, even a petty deceiver who steals only a few units of his lord Mammon’s currency, since it wounds his pride as a human god.

So God never rewards hypocritical good works with spiritual blessings in heavenly places, nor with any joy of the spirit in heart. And God does punish hypocrisy, both on earth and in heaven. Then all elect spirits witness these spiritual works of God. So all elect inwardly know that God hates every kind of hypocrisy. And the elect know that hypocrisy often leads to idolatry, to second-order sins that attempt to turn worship toward human gods. All elect spirits also know that God’s name represents all that is good, just and truly loving, even when their minds of flesh grow angry with God and falsely accuse Him of evil. Thus, all elect realize that hypocrisy slanders the name of God, by giving esteem and glory to deceivers who falsely do their hypocritical good works in God’s name. Thus, many elect realize that hypocrisy breaks the third-order commandments too, all the laws forbidding the false use and abuse of God’s name. Thus, inwardly, all the elect know that hypocrisy is a sin worse than the sixth-order commandments against murder, since the lawlessness caused by the second- and third-order sins like hypocrisy always and inevitably result in many other sins, including murder. So all elect spirits inwardly know that hypocrisy is a very serious sin which forms cracks in the spiritual and moral structural supports of their land, leading to its collapse. This is why awakened elect spirits hate hypocrisy so much, why they become terrified when hypocrisy invades their lands.

Both the elect and the non-elect hate hypocrites, even far more than honestly evil souls. They hate a hypocritical preacher far more than a murdering gang member. And so does God. Yet the masses of dupes in the humanistic institutions of Satan’s world order are trained to overlook all the hypocrisy,

Page 357

murder, sexual immorality, theft, fraud, slander and greed within their elite human gods, both their fake heads of false churches and their secular authorities. Now there are so many lying, deceiving hypocrites that even the worst are ignored and yawned at, and hypocrisy is the norm. A hypocritical, psychopathic, thieving, cheating, lying, sexually exploiting fool standing on the podium of a mega church or ruling a great nation is acceptable to even the elect. But God will never accept those liars.

We have become worse than pagan Rome before it fell. Yes, many elect spirits are still awake enough to dread the wrath of God about to be released against those hypocrites—the wars, murders, injustice, poverty, famines, pollution, plagues and other harmful effects. Yet most continue to tolerate those hypocrites and their lies, and loyally worship them as gods in both their churches and their secular institutions. Then, to cope with the evil effects of their sins, those dupes simply find many distractions and delusions to help their minds of flesh temporarily escape from the harsh realities of God’s wrath pouring out all around them. As the elect allow their minds of flesh to suppress and silence God’s rebukes to their weak spirits imprisoned within the dry, empty darkness of their closed hearts , their minds of flesh also prevent themselves from honestly facing their imminent doom. For the sake of the temporary gratification of their carnal desires, they refuse to believe God’s words or the messages He wrote within His physical and spiritual creations. They will not take the real truth to heart, lest it forces them to repent and causes them to abandon their empty, worthless, miserable little rewards for their foolish lusts of the flesh. No matter how many times they see the failures of all the false promises those lying human gods have made in the past, they still believe those false promises, and run willingly into the death traps set for them and their loved ones, since God has deluded them.

As long as the elect trust and fear their human gods more than they trust and fear the real God, who created and rules all things, God will hand them over to delusions which destroy their flesh. Yet, in spite of all the destruction of flesh they have already suffered, they still try to remain in the graces of their human gods far more than they seek to be found in the grace of the real God. They remember and repeat every beloved lie uttered by their most revered human gods, yet do not remember a single truth uttered by the mouth of the real God. So God shall justly strike down all who do not repent into the truth, since their lies have caused so much needless suffering and death, directly or indirectly.

Nevertheless, God is patient and slow to wrath. So there is still time for many elect to repent. And Jesus not only waits for this repentance, but can cause it in His appointed times. So let every elect soul who heeds the just and loving concepts which the Holy Spirit pours into their spirits, also heed His call to pray for the elect still bound by delusions. Then let those awakened elect spirits also heed Christ’s call to join in His works of nullifying Satan’s lying works, all that the flesh of those elect love so much. And we must not hate those elect, because we have all been sinners, continuously dwelling in a state of hypocrisy, just like all the elect have been, even since the beginning of time.

The only difference between the past and this era of the fifth seal is that many lies and sins which today’s hypocrites practice, both in the church and in the secular society, have been exposed and repudiated during the eras of the previous four eras, as well as in this current era. So those lies and sins can no longer be done in the name of God through ignorance, and can no longer be disguised as His biblical truth or righteousness. Now even truths written in God’s physical creations are revealed in great detail, through true science, although the humanists are still proclaiming Platonic lies and

falsely calling those religious speculations “science."3 Even so, their secular hypocrisy is still an abuse of God’s name, since they falsely claim that God’s creations prove that God does not exist.

Yet now true science honestly studies God’s creation and is able to see the magnificent complexity of His designs for life,and how His genius has balanced His ecosystems. They have discovered how it

 

Page 358

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

is impossible for life to program the wise codes in their own DNA, even in ways that provide a number of alternative algorithms which help life cope with changing environments. Science has discovered that the flow of time and distance of space are perceptions, and that it is not possible for a material brain of flesh to perceive. So they have provided evidence for the existence of the minds of our non-material spirits, and of the non-material power of God causing the perceptions of material time and space to the minds of our spirits. So all this true science ultimately reveals God’s principles of righteousness, as well as all that He calls sinful, within His creation. Thus, when humanists use false science to justify their lies and sins, they continue to misuse or abuse God’s name—since they still claim that God is condoning their lies and sins through all that God revealed in His creations.

So this era of the fifth seal, when spiritual and physical knowledge has greatly increased according to the prophecy of Daniel, offers us great blessings, along with all its horrors of unjust persecutions, wars, famines and other woes of the first five seals. And many more wondrous blessings and terrible woes are about to come, which will be extremely taxing upon the flesh and spirits of the elect. So let us remember God’s promise revealed through Isaiah for the elect during these times: “For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite” (Is. 57:15, ESV). If there ever was a time in history to fully embrace this truth, it is during these times. And remember this too: “If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God” (Col. 3:1-3, WEB). Since all the vanities of hierarchical class systems and financial oppression are about to be crushed into dust, it is time for the elect to focus on spiritual matters of God’s true kinds of justice, equity among all in the family of humankind and honest love.

After the days of the sixth and seventh seals, a remnant of elect who truly take refuge in our God Jesus, will remain alive and inherit all the lands on the earth. All those who stubbornly worship idols like human gods will die before Jesus begins to rule the earth during the Millennium. All who refuse to take refuge in Jesus after the true Gospel is proclaimed in all the earth shall perish through their own vain delusions, all those in the false churches and governments which do not forsake Roman humanism before Jesus returns. For they are those whom Paul wrote about: “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves; who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” (Rom. 1:22b-25, WEB). And the first idol Paul listed here was “corruptible man,” since humanists worship man above all their other fake gods.

Paul knew the prophecies about the future, that the beast and most of the world would adopt the religion of the beast during the last days. And the religion of the beast was the Roman religion in his day, that is, the religion of humanism, the worship (esteem and service) of man, along with other gods like money and the gods of adopted foreign religions. Now that Roman humanism is the dominant religion in the world, almost everyone worships human beings, together with a host of other false gods that are invented, chosen and manipulated by man. But can their chief human gods and numerous secondary gods actually save them? Will their highly esteemed and loyally served human gods rescue them from the coming wars, famines, plagues and natural disasters that God’s wrath will be pouring out against their injustice, inequity, oppression, exploitation, lying, slandering, suppression of truth and countless other sins? Even if all their cult leaders, actors, professional game

players and singers of frivolous songs were not as factious as they are now, and all worked together as one demonic unit, could they save the humanistic churches and nations? No! All those human gods will die along with their worshipers. Not one will be left standing on the day Jesus will return.

Only a remnant of the elect with contrite hearts will be spared, souls who are humbled and broken because of the many loveless lies and sins they previously committed through a previous ignorance, before they repented into the truth, before they took refuge in the real God and in His words. For only they will be capable of the just, wise, loving works of the returning Jesus, and only they will be truly alive inside, with spirits able to grow a love grounded in spiritual and physical realities. And even if some of these awakened elect die before Jesus returns, they will still live to love and be loved forever. Then many of these sealed elect who died will be resurrected on the day Jesus returns, so they too may live on earth during the millennium of His rule. But no practicing humanists will remain alive as Jesus sets His foot on the Mount of Olives once more. Only the awakened elect shall survive the return of Jesus, since only they will be able to love with unhindered justice, and fulfill God’s loving ways of abundant life. Only they can live through faith in the real God, our Lord Jesus.

Isaiah also recorded what God shall declare about each individual elect soul, just before the end times: “‘I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry: for the spirit would grow faint before Me, and the breath of life that I made. Because of the iniquity of his unjust gain, I was angry, I struck him; I hid My face and was angry, but he went on backsliding in the way of his own heart. I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will lead him and restore comfort to him and his mourners, creating the fruit of the lips. Peace, peace, to the far and to the near,’ says [Yahweh], ‘and I will heal him’” (Is. 57:16-19, ESV). This seems to be a prophecy about the world-wide revival during the era of the sixth seal, when God will claim His ownership and personally restore the peace each has with Him, both “to the far and to the near,” to the elect everywhere on earth. And after this revival, the plagues of the seventh seal will destroy the non-elect on earth, because “‘the wicked are like the tossing sea, for it cannot be quiet, and its waters toss up mire and dirt. There is no peace,’ says my God, ‘for the wicked’” (Is. 57:20-21, ESV). God will not always allow the non-elect to contend against His beloved elect on earth, although this trains His elect to abhor all that falls short of God’s good opinion. There will come a time when the training is completed and the non-elect shall perish.

Yes, as always, God is very angry about the ways in which even His elect partake in the “iniquity” of Satan’s world order, such as by seeking “unjust gain” through what God defines as theft. And a very careful reading of the Scriptures will reveal that God always punished the sins of charging interest, collecting dividends, price gouging, lowering wages for increased profits and many other ways of stealing from workers and customers. All these practices, and more, are what God has deemed to be “unjust gain.” Anything which tramples over the poor is unjust, since all the poor are our equal siblings in the family of humankind and God is a respecter of no business elite in Satan’s kingdom.

Because each of the elect partook in sins like stealing “unjust gain,” God “struck” each and was so angry that He hid His face from each. Then the greedy elect souls could not know Him nor pray to Him. Yet the elect did not seem to mind this, and simply invented new false gods to worship in fake churches, pretend gods who loved their “unjust gain.” Each elect “went on backsliding in the way of his own heart.” However, without seeing the face and attributes of the real just and loving God, the inner inherent desires of each elect spirit could never be fulfilled. Thus, the elect lived loveless, empty lives, as slaves of the non-elect elite ruling over humanistic hierarchies. Nevertheless, a time is coming and is now almost here, when God will personally heal the spirit in each elect soul, when He will lead each spirit into paths of righteousness and loving justice, when He shall comfort each and those mourning over one’s loveless ways, all through the wise counsel of Jesus’ Holy Spirit. And

Page 360

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

God will even create “the fruit of the lips” for each elect soul, so each may answer persecutors in ways they cannot rationally or honestly repudiate. Then each elect spirit will live in peace with God.

God ordained that, just before He destroyed the non-elect on the earth, He will redeem His elect and build His one, true, world-wide New Covenant priesthood. His people, His church, will be restored at last and forever during the era of the sixth seal. And that process of building up this final true church on earth will begin now, in these days of the fifth seal. God has already begun the process of removing “every obstruction” to their faith. For He has increased knowledge during these eras of the first five seals, with very much evidence to prove that the humanistic lies are false and that God’s principles of just love are true. Consequently, we will soon see sixth seal’s earthquakes around the world, with meteors striking the earth, to temporarily silence all the humanistic institutions of the world order, all who keep the elect corrupt or oppressed. And this silencing will last long enough for Jesus’ Holy Spirit to build His true church, in a way that will be even purer than the apostolic church.

After most elect spirits on earth have been healed and redeemed during the era of the sixth seal, they will be ready for God’s wrath to destroy Satan’s entire world order with the plagues of the seventh seal’s era. But a preparation for the sixth seal’s era, so the elect can be ready for the seventh seal’s era, will begin now, in this fifth seal’s era. For even now, God is causing the true, biblical Gospel to be rediscovered and preached. At this time He is raising up, teaching and training some true teachers of that real Gospel who will still be alive when the sixth seal’s era begins. This will be necessary to build up His final true church as quickly as possible after the sixth era begins. However, it will be the sixth era itself that shall complete the preparation of God’s people to serve as His light on the earth. Only during the sixth era will Jesus make the majority of His elect able to serve as His true priests throughout the world. Then, after He makes His true church ready, He will destroy Satan’s kingdom and return to rule the entire earth, with a willing people who understand and apply His truths rightly.

God dwells in heaven, in a place that is “high and lifted up,” in the eternal “high and holy place.” In modern terms, God exists in a super-real, non-material, truly eternal space-time continuum created without entropy. And this spiritual realm is completely divided into two permanent parts. One is an infinitely “large” and “holy” place we call “heaven.” Here all living spiritual beings and spiritual matter functions in unity with the entirely rational, just, equitable, serving and loving mind of God, its Ruler and Creator, and forever expands as the mind of God expands, where that expansion defines the non-linear “time” and “space” of heaven. Then the other part is an infinitely “small” place we call “hell,” which holds all that is not compatible with the mind of God, and God is also hell’s Creator and Ruler. Then hell keeps on “shrinking” forever as its God-incompatible spiritual inhabitants diminish in purpose and function, and where that contraction defines its time and space.

Both heaven and hell serve as the foundation or model for all that exists in the symbolic, figurative, temporary, material space-time continuum, which is merely a perception caused by God in the minds of our spirits. So the earth illustrates principles of both heaven and hell. And while elect human, animal and other earthly spirits are perceiving the material universe, those spirits are actually sitting within the upper part of the spiritual realm called “heaven.” Likewise, while non-elect human and demonic spirits can perceive the material universe, they actually dwell in the lower part that we call “hell.” For all material brains of flesh are material perceptions in the minds of spirits, and cannot be the consciousness perceiving material manifestations. All this is basically what the Bible has been teaching for millenniums and also what the scientific study of God’s material universe is telling us.

Considering all this, we can conclude that life on earth is valuable for the teaching and training of our elect spirits, because we are able to see the consequences of being incompatible with God’s mind

 

Page 361

Last Days Timeline

 

while our spirits perceive material existence. We see nothing but horrifying effects from all that is incompatible with God’s mind, from all that falls short of God’s good opinion, from all that is a lie or a sin. But that horror is edifying, and makes our spirits more firmly commit to all that is truly compatible with God’s mind. At the same time, elect spirits have nothing to fear from the deaths of their flesh, since the death of the flesh simply means that elect spirits will stop perceiving material realities patterned after the principles governing heaven and hell. All elect non-human spirits on earth, all spirits of life in animals and plants, will simply wake up in their eternal and beloved heavenly homes. Then all elect human spirits will complete and perfect their teaching and training at the gates of heaven, where Jesus will share and explain the earthly experiences of all earthly spirits.

So, for all elect spirits, to die in the flesh is a great gain, although life on earth is also gain. And as elect human spirits are being granted perceptions of life on earth, it is in their own best interest to learn to become as heavenly minded as they possibly can, because that is the purpose of perceiving life on earth. As heirs of the Creator, our earthly goal is to be taught and trained to align the thoughts of our spirits with the mind of God, so we too might serve His creations as He does, through His kind of “holy” justice, equity, wisdom and love. Everything else is empty vanity. All the selfish ambitions of the flesh, all the dreams of gaining Satan’s invention of money so one can bribe or coerce other siblings into serving oneself, all the titles and powers of the elite in artificial hierarchies, are all delusions invented for the non-elect in Satan’s world order, so they can pretend to be gods.

Our only true goal in life on earth is to become holy, lifted up and high, like our heavenly Father. But we all begin this life on earth as infantile elect spirits who lie and sin in our ignorance. So our spirits need to crush all Satan’s delusions and lies in us and out of ourselves through contrition, by realizing how evil and destructive those lies and sins can be, so we can repent into the truth. Only this will lift us up from our lowly and contrite places, to become holy and high. To repent into the truth, our first step is to become contrite and lowly, so we can accept the truth. For pride is a blindness, and the vain can never learn anything of any real value, certainly nothing of any eternal spiritual worth. Next, to learn the whole truth, we need a wise, knowledgeable and even omniscient Teacher for our spirits. And the only qualified Teacher is our God Jesus. Lastly, our spirits also need to trust Him and the non-verbal concepts which His Holy Spirit pours into our spirits. If we place our faith in Him and His words, He can and will save us into the fullness of abundantly loving and useful lives, both here on earth and in heaven. Therefore, our salvation is entirely worked by Jesus, through our faith alone.

When the persecution of God’s elect increases after this era of the fifth seal, during a time of total lawlessness and lies in the beast’s Roman kingdom, we will need to set the minds of our spirits upon things above, where Jesus is, and where our own spirits actually exist right now. We will need to become God’s kingdom on earth, a communion of people and a Sabbath place of refuge for the elect family members who are fleeing persecution. Otherwise, if we set our minds on thing below, on the selfish ambitions of Satan’s world order, each laboring only for oneself, we will not survive. This is why most elect will be humbled, made contrite by the crushing of their stubborn carnal pride, during the sixth seal’s destruction through earth quakes and meteors striking the earth. When that happens, economies will collapse and there will be nothing left for selfish ambitions. Then elect will also be crushed by persecutors, and will need to gather as the one body of our God Jesus, where each part of the body performs it destined role and all hide in the higher realm and purpose granted by our Lord.

As some say, the elect will “lose their shadow” when the sixth seal’s tribulations begin. But they will not be beaten down until they become empty and loveless shells. Rather, the devastation of the sixth seal will be precipitated by an increase in Gospel truths during the fifth seal, in the days we live in right now. Thus, the coming breakdown of the world order will make the elect humble and contrite.

Page 362

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

They will not lose their true spiritual humanity, only the dark shadow of the carnal lives in Satan’s world order. And God will heal the elect with selfish ambitions taught by the devil’s world order, to revive their spirits. Yet God will keep His children lowly, humble enough to realize that gifts He distribute to each one comes through His power and grace alone, and not one is more personally worthy than anyone else. Jesus will crush out all the kinds of pride that Satan’s world order instills in them, every thought about deserving even a little more esteem than the lowliest soul on earth, or any kind of entitlement. Then God will enter into those contrite elect, and they will truly long to be made in the image of God. So He shall work in their hearts, upon their spirits, until they begin to truly love and learn to express His kind of love wisely, in an effective and just way, according to the fulfilled laws of God taught to their spirits by Jesus, as His Word is interpreted by the Holy Spirit of Jesus.

Until the day of our Messiah’s return, God shall contend with all men, even against His own corrupted elect children who will never be able to forfeit “the breath of life that He made.” For God must contend against their evil ways, against “the iniquity of ... unjust gain” that they seek or allow through their cowardly silence. Since the flesh of the elect falls to the temptations of Satan’s world order as much as the non-elect, and those elect stubbornly silence the rebukes of God to their own spirits, God must angrily war against them too. Because the elect keep on “backsliding” into the pit of dark and unjust lies and sins, our clean God cannot enter into filthy hearts, to show them His face and favor. Yet the time is coming when God shall “heal” His elect, cleanse their hearts, and make billions into one true church of serving priests, into a reflection of His light upon the whole earth.

God is the only source of all subjective righteousness, the only cause of the love each individual elect spirit expresses in truly just and wise words and deeds on earth. If anyone effectively applies God’s just and loving ways, it is because God has quickened, rebuked, disciplined, taught, trained, healed, led, guided, shaped and restored that one’s elect spirit. It is because God began to compel that one’s awakened spirit to pray and heed the concepts that His Holy Spirit pours into one’s heart, then created that one’s “fruit of the lips.” Let us never forget that God alone can cause one to love and do what is right. All those stupid “free will” doctrines teach a reliance on the mind of flesh and oppress elect spirits. So we must abandon them and silence the blabbering flesh, to hear our God.

Each one’s will to do what is right, based on the knowledge of His truths and wisdom, must originate directly from works of God upon one’s spirit. Nothing righteous can come from the will and strength of the flesh, especially not from a will of flesh taught by false humanistic churches or Satan’s secular world order. Either the will of an awakened elect spirit is shaped and ruled by God, or God will let it be shaped and ruled by Satan. But neither the will of the spirit nor the will of the flesh can ever be “free” to shape and rule itself, can never rule over its own destiny. All who believe in “free will” are deluded and irrational. Human wills do not even have the freedom to choose their own masters. For literally all humans begin life as carnal slaves of Satan, but all elect eventually see God intercede. By the end of the last day, Jesus will teach and train all the elect spirits to love Him and all of His ways.

Now, as mentioned, we all know how the nineteenth and twentieth centuries saw the murders of millions of Jews, Christians and other loving elect souls, simply because humanistic religions or secular governments associated those souls with God’s name, because they were either bearing His name or they were proclaiming God’s truths against liars. Persecutions increased exponentially after the mid-nineteenth century as nations became less God-fearing, and they are still killing awakening elect souls all over the earth. Thus, nations have became more lawless and began to hate all who had anything to do with God and His truths. Even nations which claim to be Christian, like the USA, choose hate-filled ruthless fascists to preach in their churches and call on a psychopaths like Trump to destroy true Christians and silence truths from God’s Word proclaimed by God’s awakening elect.

The world has killed more Jews, Christians and other awakening elect during the last century than it did in all the previous centuries combined. And their persecutors were almost all humanists related to the beast's fourth Roman kingdom—Fascists, capitalist dictators, Russian and Chinese Communists, Muslims as well as other secular or theistic humanists. Of course, Muslims are a just one sect of theistic humanists, very much like the Great Prostitute church of Rome, and all the various sects of theistic humanism have murdered countless Jews, Christians and other awakening elect who dared to proclaim truth originating from God. Then we see state-endorsed humanistic churches betray and persecute the awakening elect too, although they usually let secular authorities do the actual killing. This has occurred over all the earth, although the worst has occurred in the communist nations. So can surely accept that the fifth seal’s era began long ago and is now approaching its very bitter end.

I know that many humanistic churches do not interpret the prophecy about the fifth seal as an era of persecutions for those who uphold the truths which God taught in His Word, or the truths His Spirit taught directly to awakening elect spirits outside of their own churches. They all read the words of John: “When [Jesus] opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had” (Rev. 6:9, WEB). But fake churches somehow think they are the only ones who preach “the Word of God” or give testimonies “of the Lamb.” So, since those humanistic churches have not seen themselves being killed for their own worldly preaching, they imagine that either that this fifth seal refers to some other era or that it does not indicate any era or time. Then those humanistic churches continue to directly or indirectly kill those who oppose their lies with real truths from God’s Word or from the convicting teachings of Jesus’ Holy Spirit to their spirits. And those fake churches cannot accept that this prophecy is about their victims. This is why those humanistic churches invent all kinds of false interpretations of this prophecy. Yet we must be honest enough to realize who these murdered souls, under the altar of the Messiah’s sin sacrifice on the cross, truly are. They the elect who told the truth.

Then we need to understand how those murdered elect prayed: “How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth” (Rev. 6:10, WEB). Then they were told that they “should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course” (Rev. 6:11, WEB). And they were told this after the fifth seal had been opened, but before their Master Jesus opened the sixth and seventh seals. So this implies that this fifth seal’s era will not see our God Jesus “judge and avenge” the blood of the elect who proclaim truths from God’s Word or through the conviction of His Spirit, at least not as a final and complete destruction of all the humanistic religious and secular institutions who do this persecuting. Only during the era of the seventh seal, just before Jesus returns, will God incite the Roman beast to burn down the Great Prostitute and eliminate the influence of her and her harlot daughter churches in his kingdom. Then, since the beast will be the dominant world power at that time, all the other humanistic lands on earth will do the same, all except the nations which became truly Christian democracies during the revival, who will all grant their people the freedoms of conscience and religion. Only on the day of His return will Jesus kill all the non-elect persecutors.

And what did it mean when these victims of the fifth seal’s persecutions were told that their brothers in God’s family of loving and honest elect “should complete their course” before our God Jesus will “judge and avenge” the blood of all His murdered faithful elect servants at a future time? They were told to wait “until things should have been entirely fulfilled [by God]” (ἕως πληρωθῶσιν). The third person plural aorist passive subjunctive form of πληρόω is a theological passive, indicating multiple completed actions of fulfilling done by God through His volition or will. So what is God fulfilling according to His will, by allowing His beloved children to die in the flesh? Well, every time one of

Fifth Seal Prophecies

 

His honest elect spirits becomes awakened enough to oppose the lies and crimes of the non-elect, and are murdered for their loving attempts to provide justice and godly freedoms for their people, the truths they speak are freed into the hearts of their people, and cannot be eliminated by any physical means, not by any level of terrorism. Although the names of those elect are most often forgotten, the truths they spoke through their spirit’s love remains. So the elect who are murdered for the truths of God are constantly building up the body of biblical truths existing in the world. Then those truths will eventually become so numerous that they will divide the whole world, as the elect are innately drawn to the light of those truths and the non-elect flee from those truths into their beloved darkness.

There have always been persecutions of truly elect souls, truly elect Jews or Christians, as well as other elect souls who have been granted a conviction the truths found in God’s Word, even though many of those elect did not even know that those truths originated from God. And pagan majorities, especially humanists, have always liked to slander a scapegoat those voices of truth. They have always blamed those honest souls for all the troubles they have brought upon themselves. They have always unjustly and irrationally transferred the blame for their own sins upon the elect who speak the truth against their illicit power. Since the world order is ruled by the spirits of Satan and his army of fallen angels, it loves to blame and attack God’s elect more than anyone else—even though God’s elect are always their kingdoms’ most valuable assets. For God’s true elect are those who love in the same just, pure way that the Father of their spirits loves. And all awakening elect build their true love upon a foundation of genuine truth. So they always end up opposing the lies which cause injustice.

Now Satan’s world order is preparing for the advent of Satan’s messiah, the beast. Yet it also sees a huge body of biblical truths circulating around the globe, principles of real justice, demands for all authorities to serve as humble sibling for the good of the people, an insistence that the wealthy must bear social responsibility for the welfare of the poor, the equality of all in family of humankind, the overlooking of harmless unintentional sins done through misleading circumstances or ignorance, and a host of other truths set free on earth by God. it is becoming more wicked. So Satan’s world order, especially his prized fourth Roman kingdom of his beast, is trying to preserve itself, by persecuting awakening elect who utter those truths. More than ever before, this era of the fifth seal has seen Satan’s fake religious and secular humanists zealously attempting to kill all opposition to their lies.

The current spiritual, emotional and physical persecutions of Jews who bear God’s name began in earnest during the Roman-Jewish wars in the first and second centuries, after their Messiah and real God came to walk among them. The core hatred of the Jews began then. All antisemitic propaganda in Satan’s fourth Roman kingdom today, and in the humanistic churches and secular governments since the first century, was derived from Rome’s slanderous rhetoric about those Jewish rebellions. At the same time, spiritual, emotional and physical persecutions and propaganda against the pure, biblical Christianity of the Jewish apostles, who established a true New Covenant Jewish church in the first century, was also based upon the same antisemitism held by Roman humanists since the days of the Jewish rebellions in the first and second centuries. The same people, the Roman theistic and secular humanists, have always persecuted and slandered both the biblical Jews and Christians, and even all the awakening elect who defended biblical truths without any conscious affiliations to either the Christians or Jews. The fourth kingdom of Daniel's beast, the Roman Empire, has been the principal persecutor of God’s elect voices of His truths since the first century, and they still are today.

Since the Christians in the true apostolic church, and in all the subsequent churches like them, have always considered themselves to be citizens of God’s church of Israel together with the Jews—albeit bound to God through a New Covenant relationship—Roman governments and churches have always hated those true Christians as much as they have hated their original siblings, the Jews.
