final and ultimate sin sacrifice justifies the complete forgiveness which He will grant to our spirits, for all our intentional and unintentional sins. As for our flesh, it will be discarded before we face Jesus on the judgment day, and burn away with the whole universe. Thus, on the judgment day, Jesus will condemn only our past flesh for all its intentional sins, and those sins will die together with our flesh, and together with the flesh of Jesus on the cross. We will be freed from literally all of our sins.

Paul once told us that his spiritual self did not understand his own actions of the flesh. For his flesh did not do what the mind of his spirit willed it to do. Rather, his mind and body of flesh did the very things that his spirit hated (Rom. 7:15). Therefore, he concluded that, if his flesh did what his spirit did not want to do, then his spirit agreed with God’s spiritual Law, that His Law is good (Rom. 7:16, conf. 7:14). Thus, it was not actually his real and core self, not actually his spirit, which did those sins, but the sinfulness dwelling in his flesh which continuously did those sins (Rom. 7:17-19). Now, a mind makes choices according to its knowledge and will. So Paul was saying that the mind of his flesh chose to sin even though it knew God’s Law, but the mind of his spirit chose to oppose that sin. So Paul was clearly stating that he had two minds in him, a mind of flesh and a mind of his core, true self, which is the mind of his spirit. Consequently, his sins were unintentional with regards to his spirit, since the mind his spirit opposed the sins which the mind of his flesh intentionally committed (Rom. 7:20-23). And all unintentional sins can be forgiven through a sin sacrifice (Lev. 4), including all intentional sins which become unintentional through a change of intentions through repentance.

Therefore, since Jesus is the final and only genuine sin sacrifice, which all the animal sin sacrifices represented, Paul’s spirit found forgiveness and atonement through Jesus. Paul’s temporary flesh was guilty, since his flesh deliberately committed sins because his spirit was not always able to take control over his flesh, since his infantile elect spirit was not always walking in the power of Jesus our God. Whenever his spirit could not cause his flesh and his whole being to walk according to the “spiritual Law” that the Spirit of Jesus taught his spirit, he sinned. But his spirit in his body was free from that sin through the work of Jesus on the cross. For the mind of his eternal spirit did not want to do the sins that his temporary mind of flesh did. It was not his true, eternal self which did those sins, but only his temporary flesh. In fact, all that is in the flesh falls short of God’s glory (His approval).

While we live in flesh on earth, God has “condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the [human] spirit” (Rom. 8:3b-4, ESV). An elect spirit is taught, trained and empowered by the Holy Spirit of Jesus, to fulfill His Law in us. Today and every day our elect spirits remain totally free from God’s condemnation, because the flesh of Jesus paid for our lifetime of sins committed by our flesh. His body’s death on the cross was our body’s death, so all the sins that were not done through the intent of our spirits, only by the intent of our flesh, were nailed to that cross on our behalf. Even when our elect spirits allow our flesh to sin through weakness or ignorance, Jesus will forgive us, since our spirits repent from those sins and change their intentions, as our spirits are taught and made stronger by Jesus. Obviously, if an elect spirit knows a sin is a sin, yet allows it, but later repents from that sin, even if that repentance occurs only on the final judgment day after Christ’s fiery and exceedingly painful rebukes, Jesus will indeed forgive that beloved elect spirit. For, whenever the intentions of our spirits turn against our sins through repentance, those sins become unintentional and, therefore, forgivable. That is the biblical definition of repentance, the change of intentions in the heart, the spirit’s turning against sin and into a full acceptance of the knowledge of His real truths.

This is our freedom in Jesus (II Cor. 3:17; Gal. 5:1), our release from condemnation and guilt. Our freedom is to “press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 3:14, ESV). And God’s call is to walk according to our elect spirits, in the ways our Lord Jesus will

Page 1504

teach, train and call our spirits to walk. Jesus already paid for all the sins of our flesh, which our spirits did not intend to do, and all the sins from which our spirits repent. We are now free from them all. All we need to do is to allow our spirits to hear the Holy Spirit of Jesus as He teaches His Word to our spirits, so we can repent into a knowledge of this truth when we sin. Otherwise, our Father will discipline us until we listen. Whenever we do repent into this knowledge of His real truth, we have His full forgiveness, together with the full atonement of our relationship with our God. Jesus knows the flesh is frustrating to elect spirits, while they live on earth. For the “curse” placed on Eve and Adam, and on all their descendants, occurred when the flesh woke to the unholy desires and pride of that flesh (Gen. 3:16-19). Yet even this “curse” works an ultimate good, since it trains elect spirits to seek God and His just ways more each day, and love God’s ways more each day, as we find His ways to be more effective and beneficial. Then we also begin to hate sin’s unjust ways more each day. This why God’s Word states: “For those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose” (Rom. 8:28, ESV). After the judgment day, all will be made right for literally all born with elect spirits made in the image of the loving Creator.

All elect spirits on earth inwardly pray in anguish, and often without the mind of flesh realizing it. All elect spirits proclaim, “I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing” (Rom. 7:18-19, ESV). All minds and bodies of flesh commit spiritual sins. But the minds of elect spirits do not want to do those sins. So it is not their spirits that commit those sins. Rather, it is their flesh that actually commits those sins, through its pride or strong desires for things of the temporary world (Rom. 7:20). And even while the flesh of the elect commits those sins for its own survival or pleasure, their spirits find no pleasure in those sins, and often grieve over those sins for the rest of their lives on earth. Much inner conflict occurs within their souls, and much sorrow in their hearts, where their spirits dwell. And, if the elect will continue in sin, their flesh may oppress their spirits so much that their spirits become dark and feel dead, depressed, silenced and weak. But elect spirits cannot possibly die and will live in their flesh again at the second resurrection, then forever in heaven, in their bodies made of eternal spiritual substances. There will come a time when all the elect find peace in a restoration to abundant life.

Elect spirits can only find this peace and abundant life in the truths of God, by knowing and applying the laws and ways of God (Rom. 7:22). The greatest joys of their hearts, the inner truly satisfying pleasures of their spirits, can only be realized when they see and do the just and loving works of God, of their Father and oldest Brother. And love can only rejoice in the truth (I Cor. 13:6). Real, pure, just and God-like love comes from the spirit and can only find joy in the real truths God has created. Thus, as soon as the elect hear those real truths, even if their flesh resists those truths, their spirits embrace those eternal realities and turn to them, warring against their flesh until their spirits can grasp and hold onto those truths, until they can walk in them. Since elect spirits unintentionally sin through their flesh, and the blood of Jesus fully paid for all those unintentional sins. So elect spirits do not dwell on past sins, but press on to find and walk in those truths. And Jesus’ power will help the elect in this struggle. He will lend His power to the right cause of their spirits, so their spirits will be able to walk in His ways. As Jesus judges the intentions of elect spirits, He forgives all their sins of the flesh, since elect spirits are not truly culpable for those sins and never take any pleasure in them, and their flesh will fully pay for all those sins in death. Thus, Jesus grants much more than just His forgiveness. Jesus also grants us abundant life as we live on earth, a just and loving life in Him.

So Jesus will take literally all the elect into heaven after the judgment day and not one of the Father’s elect children shall go to hell. But first Jesus shall correct, perfect and complete all their spirits. He

Last Days Timeline

 

will make all fit to live and work with Him and the Father for all eternity in heaven. To do this, Jesus shall teach the whole and complete truth about all His ways to all His elect, and train all those spirits born in His image, all the spirits inherently bearing God-like, just, pure love and a longing for truth. Yes, His correction will involve some burning rebukes. But all elect spirits shall take that rebuke to heart, seeing the justice and love of His words and ways. And all the elect shall repent from whatever delusions, lies and superstitions they formerly held. All of the elect will turn towards God’s truths during the judgment day. This is the first and foremost purpose of every biblical kind of judgment, to turn the wayward back onto the right path, to bring them into a knowledge of the real truth that God created in the beginning to govern all that He created. This biblical kind of judgment will only condemn, punish and banish the loveless non-elect, because they cannot ever repent into real truth.

The spirits born of Satan love darkness rather than light, and will forever refuse to repent into the light of God’s created realities, for they despise that light. So they will be resurrected on the earth to be exposed for what they truly were in their former lives, so the elect who loved them can wake from their past delusions, and so those non-elect can be cast into hell without anyone mourning for them. For, while the non-elect lived on earth, even their spirits sinned, since their spirits wanted to become their own gods. The non-elect invented many delusions which they falsely called “truths.” Their spirits “rejoiced” in some of God’s truths, but only because they saw how they could abuse and twist those real truths into lies, in order to exploit others and benefit themselves. The minds of their spirits always rejected the forgiving, merciful, loving and just ways of the real God and cherished only their destructive delusions and lies. Their spirits actually took pleasure in sins done through their flesh. So their spirits, as they stand before Jesus on the judgment day, will not relinquish the lies and delusions they loved while on the earth. Their love of their lies will remain just as strong after they shed their flesh, just as evil as when they lived in the flesh, and they will be utterly incapable of ever repenting.

Even as the whole, pure truth stands before the faces of the non-elect, with all of its immutable and uncompromising clarity, they will reject it and hate it. When they see how much their sins harmed others, they will not care. Their love of their darkness will not allow God’s light to enter in. So Jesus will justly cast them into hell. And hell is a part of the spiritual space-time continuum, but where absolutely nothing exists to remind them of God’s truth, verity and realities. Hell is a dark vacuum, a “bottomless pit” where each non-elect spirit is allowed to be its own god, permitted to cling to its own delusions and lies forever. Yet, in that spiritual darkness, they will never be able to create a single reality. So their delusions and lies will frustrate their rebellious spirits with excruciating pain. And their lusts will burn unquenched for all eternity, eating at their hearts like undying worms, since not a single reality will ever exist there, absolutely nothing to exploit for their own evil gratification.

Still, both the elect and the non-elect spirits shall have new spiritual bodies. And there can be no conflict between the mind of one’s spirit and the mind of one’s spiritual body. So the spirits born of Satan will feel real pain and frustration in their new, spiritual bodies, when they will be granted the right to be their own gods, and are separated from God’s beloved creations in a second death. But the elect children of God will be able to express pure love eternally in heaven, without any conflict from their spiritual bodies, as they serve God’s good and beloved creations through the renewed desires of their fully awake hearts. Together with Jesus and their Father, they shall labour forever for the good of the myriads of living beings in the endless lands of heaven, for an almost infinite variety of pure creatures, some of whom once lived on earth and others who had always dwelt in heaven. And, through this gratifying labour of love, without the frustrations of the flesh, the elect shall have great joy. For all of a spirit’s joy is born from its successful works for the good of those whom it loves.

Of course, since all the dead have eternal spiritual bodies in heaven, and God can transform spiritual bodies into bodies of flesh in an instant, there will be no need to preserve even one particle of any earthly bodies of flesh. No part of the flesh will need to be preserved for either the first or second resurrections, as some superstitiously believe. And, in the second resurrection, literally all the dead will be raised into bodies of flesh on earth for an indeterminate amount of time, even those whose bodies had decayed into nothing thousands of years ago, whose molecules of flesh had long since become parts of other creatures or even other human beings. Their flesh will exist with some who are still remaining alive at that time, even with some who were raised at the first resurrection and had lived with Jesus for a thousand years, with those who may contain molecules of their old flesh.

It is possible that all who ever lived on the earth will be resurrected to live again on earth for only forty-nine days, before being lifted into heaven for the judgment day. After all, Jesus’ body of flesh ascended into heaven forty-nine days after His resurrection from the dead. But Jesus’ flesh was transformed into a body made of spiritual substances as He then entered heaven, and so will our bodies be transformed, when we are raptured up to heaven’s gates. And the full spiritual body of Jesus already existed in heaven before it was born in flesh to Mary on the earth. Likewise, so do our spiritual bodies. Yet the body of flesh that Jesus received through Mary was the same body of flesh that Jesus had when He walked with Adam and Eve, and with Abraham centuries after that. So each time Jesus walked on earth, God created a new body of flesh for Himself, though it was the same as the previous bodies of flesh, and He created those bodies of flesh to walk on earth for only very brief periods of time. Thus, although none can be certain how long our resurrected flesh will live on the earth, it will be only for a short time, and all who are resurrected will receive new bodies of flesh.

God can very easily recreate bodies of flesh. God will not need to search for all the particles of the old bodies of flesh, then piece them together to reconstruct those old bodies, as some say. To think God needs to do this is absurd. For God created the whole material universe, as well as the eternal heaven, all out of nothing but His own power and substance, according to His thoughts and will. And God’s power and substance are infinite. Thus, there is absolutely no need for us to preserve any body of flesh for the resurrection, by preserving those corpses in poisons and burying them. For our God walked with various people on earth in a body of flesh that He instantly created, then also instantly uncreated His flesh, or transformed it into a spiritual body when He returned to heaven. Thus, there is no need to keep dead bodies intact, superstitiously fearing that God cannot resurrect them if they have been cremated or disposed of in a way that might not allow for God to reconstruct them from all the parts they had in their first lives on the earth. Besides, every living body regenerates all its cells and molecules, forming new cells and molecules throughout its life on earth. Consequently, no body of flesh remains the same body all its life. And Jesus will do something similar, create a body of flesh that is healthy and whole, from some stage of life that best suits one’s own spiritual destiny.

Then Jesus will lift all still-living and resurrected human bodies up to heaven’s gates, transfiguring them into spiritual bodies. There He will complete and perfect the elect during the long judgment day, through His works of correcting, teaching and training. And all His truths will be comprehended by the minds of all spiritual bodies granted to the elect. Not one will lack the ability to learn them. For their spiritual bodies will have no interfering desires nor resist the truth. So literally all the elect will be fully perfected and completed by Jesus on that day, and will be entirely fit to serve in heaven.

Unlike our fragile and weak minds of flesh on earth, the minds of those new spiritual bodies will always cooperate, understand and submit to the minds of our spirits, enabling us to do all the works of God in heaven. And our spiritual bodies will never forget, fail nor fall into errors or sins. For the minds of our spiritual bodies will not need to conceptualize spiritual concepts in figurative, earthly,

Page 1507

Last Days Timeline

 

material ways, but will be able to directly visualize and remember spiritual concepts. And our bodies will not be subject to aging and entropy. So we will be free to do all that our hearts desire, all we had been inherently destined to do and longed to do. All laws and limitations will be internal, as they are in our Creator and Father, so we will all do whatever we want to do, since we will only want to do what is good, loving and beneficial for the kingdom, continuously, throughout eternity. We will never want to sin, and only work through love and a truly objective, full knowledge of truth. Then we might truly say we have what may be called a “free will,” an autonomous, informed will that makes all decisions without being influenced by any ignorance, coercion or deception. But can only have this in heaven. It is utterly impossible to have any kind of “free will” in our flesh on the earth.

But the very beginning of the last day of linear time, in the more solid reality of the spiritual realm, will see the spiritual bodies of both the elect born of God and the non-elect born of Satan, all standing before our King and Judge, Jesus. Then Jesus will judge all “by what was written in the books, according to what they had done” (Rev. 20:12). And one of these books will be the “Book of Life,” which was “written before the foundation of the world” (Rev. 13:8). This Book of Life will contain the names of all God’s elect, their real eternal names revealing the essence of each spirit’s unique, identifying attributes and characteristics. These elect, who were formed in God’s image and from His essence, shall all be able to repent and be conformed into the image of Jesus. And the Holy Spirit of Jesus was even able to begin shaping them into His image even while they lived on earth. But He certainly will complete that process at heaven’s gates on the judgment day. Therefore, Jesus will consider this ability of the elect to repent into the truth, during their judgment on that day. Thus, all will be judged worthy of heaven. Yet, since the non-elect will have no ability to repent, because they hate the truth, none of them will be found worthy, and all will flee into their beloved darkness.

Even the elect who died young, or in abortions, will be resurrected for a time on earth, in bodies that reflect that age at which they could best engage in their innate and eternal occupations, so they may be taught by Jesus. Then they too will be raptured up to heaven’s gates for the completion of their teaching and training on the judgment day. All these predestined elect babies and youth will have been spared many experienced pains on earth, but will learn about them when they look on the history of earth from above. So all will learn to love in a God-like way, in the same just, pure way as their Father and oldest Brother, like all their elect siblings. For their spirits also came from His breath, from the core of His Being, and bear His attributes. Since this Book of Life was written in the beginning, before the creation of the world and heaven, the names of all these elect were predestined by God to be created on earth, each at an appointed time and place, even though some died before being born. So they will not be saved into heaven by grudgingly obeying God’s Law, but solely through their created God-like desires of their spirits, like all the rest of the elect. These elect, even the aborted infants who never saw the light of an earthly day, will spontaneously love and do godly works straight from the heart—which are the only kinds of works that Jesus will judge as worthy of His praise on the judgment day. Only those not written in the Book of Life have no ability to love.

So the judgment day will not judge us by how many more good works we did than our lies and other sins, nor by how much money we spent on good works, after stealing that money from our own siblings. For that is what a pagan Roman judgment is, and that Rome was the final and greatest kingdom of Satan’s ultimate evil religion. Rather, Jesus will primarily judge each soul by whether or not He had written that one’s true name in His Book of Life at the beginning, when He designed each one’s unique, loving attributes and destiny. Then He will judge each elect one’s works, to see the motives and intentions behind each work, so He may complete His work of developing the right

 

Page 1508

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

motives and intentions in each one’s spirit. And, of course, as with all biblical judgments, all God's elect will have time for repentance while they are being taught and corrected by Jesus on that day.

This is how each and every elect soul will be purified and perfected by the fiery admonitions of their Lord Jesus on that day. Those who say there can be no repentance after death, on the judgment day, know neither God nor the Scriptures. They clearly do not even know the definition of a truly biblical “judgment.” For all biblical judgments allow for repentance, and always forgive the truly repentant. The Scriptures say that, on the judgment day, even the elect who mostly built their earthly lives with the temporary things of Satan’s world order (which are symbolically wood, hay and straw) will lose all that they built on earth. For all those things will be burned away by the fiery rebukes of Jesus. All thoughts of those things will be cast aside with their repentance. But all those worldly elect also will be saved into heaven regardless, because Jesus predestined Himself to be the foundation bedrock of their spirits. Whether they knew it or not, Jesus had been teaching and training their spirits all their lives, building up their inner consciences and causing the wills of their spirits to desire His ways. He created and shaped the inner wills and desires of their spirits. Although their flesh was deceived by the world, so they did not walk according to their spirits, so their flesh silenced their spirits and they served only their flesh with emaciated hearts, those sleeping, worldly elect will enter heaven in joy, after the fires of His rebuke cleanse the souls of their spiritual bodies on the last day. Then the elect who built their lives upon a true spiritual understanding of God’s realities, in faith and love, with the spiritual things of eternal value (symbolically gold, silver and precious stones), and learned to walk according to their spirits by heeding Jesus, will also enter heaven, but with great wealth gained from their lives on earth. These are indisputable facts told to us by God in His Word (see I Cor. 3:11-15).

Yet it remains an indisputable fact that not all humans have elect spirits. And God’s Words says that, on the judgment day, “if anyone's name was not found written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire” (Rev. 20:15). The humans with loveless spirits born of Satan, born without any desire for the things of God, born with a “love” for darkness rather than light, do not have their evil names written in the Book of Life at the foundation of the world. And they will forever hate the truths created by God from the beginning, and all things of real worth in heaven. So, since they hate God in heaven and heaven itself, they will prefer to dwell in hell, in a darkness they created for themselves.

Revelation 20:11-15 (ESV): “Then I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated on

it. From His presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. [This refers to

the entire material universe being destroyed.] And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before

the throne, and books [plural] were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the

Book of Life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what

they had done. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the

dead who were in them [These two clauses begin with the conjunction καί (‘and’) to join them to the

previous clause about judgment of the dead, because these two clauses explain where the dead came from and

what occurred before ‘the dead were judged.’ So these two clauses refer to a time prior to the judgment, before

the ‘the earth and sky fled away,’ before the material universe was destroyed, and when the second resurrection

occurred on earth.] , and they [the dead] were judged, each one of them, according to what they

had done. [This clause refers to the judgment of the dead again, after the both the living and the dead had

been raptured into heaven.] Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the

second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone's name was not found written in the Book of

Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”

Here it says the “dead were judged.” These “dead” will include all the deceased souls who ever touched the earth, who were all resurrected on earth, then raptured up to heaven’s gates for this

 

Page 1509

Last Days Timeline

 

judgment. But it does not say that those who remained alive on the earth until the rapture would be judged. This seems to be because only the elect will remain alive at the end of the millennium, and they will have already been taught by Jesus during the judgment of Gog and Magog, will already repented and already have been appointed for eternal life in heaven. So now only those who had previously died will need to be judged, the elect in ways leading to repentance, but the non-elect in ways leading to their eternal condemnation, because those non-elect will never repent into the truth.

And all these dead will be judged by what was written in more than one book, where one of those books will be the Book of Life, which had already been completed at the very beginning of time, since it was “written … from the foundation of the world” (Rev. 17:8). Our God Jesus died on the cross for the forgiveness of those named in that book. And those names will describe the attributes and characters of each elect spirit He chose to create in the beginning. Of course, His omniscient mind wrote and will remember all the contents those books. So He will not need to look in those books on the judgment day. But no one else knew the contents. Thus, those being judged and the angels will want to know what was written in those books, and all will see how God predestined all lives and all the events that shaped them. Then the elect will recognize what was in their hearts from birth, and finally understand the desires which had been rising up inside them throughout their lives.

Our God Jesus will gather up all the dead together and read these books to them, in a way where the minds of their spirits and spiritual bodies will fully comprehend and always remember literally all the contents about themselves and about all the other elect siblings in the family of God. First they will hear all that is written in the various books of deeds, which shall reveal the convoluted and hidden motives and intentions of each heart regarding everything each one did. All the hearts of all the elect and all the non-elect will be revealed in a story about earth’s events, from the beginning to the end. And, this “reading” will not take long, since massive amounts of information can be “read” to spiritual minds all at once, in a single earthly moment. Then God will reveal those who have been written in the Book of Life, and all the elect will see why the motives of the elect were so different from the motives of the non-elect. They will see how the elect sought love, but the non-elect did not. After this, all the elect will realize that God is totally just and right in literally all His judgments.

Here it also declares that “Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire,” and that “lake of fire” is obviously referring to eternal hell. Therefore, whether this statement is figurative or not, we cannot logically say that “Hades” is a synonym for “hell,” which is “the lake of fire.” For Jesus, through the apostle John, would neither figuratively nor literally indicate that hell will be thrown into itself. Therefore, we must conclude that “Hades” (called “Sheol” in the Old Testament) must refer to another separate and distinct place or entity, either in all the Scriptures or at least sometimes in the Bible. Hades and hell cannot possibly be synonyms and always refer to the same thing. So, looking at the Scriptures, it seems that the place called “Hades” or “Sheol” must also be a moveable place or entity, where all non-elect spirits and some more worldly elect spirits, can be temporarily preserved after their earthly bodies die. It must be a place of limbo, where the dead “sleep” while they await their judgment, where they remain in a unconscious state until Jesus sends the angels to gather them.

Of course, we know that humans do not go directly to heaven or hell immediately after the death of their flesh, since all will need to pass through the judgment first. Only the demonic beast will be cast directly into hell, alive, without either dying in the flesh or receiving a judgment on the last day. And some elect will also join Jesus at heaven’s gates immediately after they die. (That is, the traditional place of judgement was always at the city gates. So the judgment day is said to occur in a vast area called the “gates” of heaven, raised high above New Jerusalem and heaven’s mainland.) But this privilege of going directly to heaven’s gates seems to be reserved only for some elect, for those

Page 1510

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

whom Jesus chooses to awaken and teach for certain purposes. And all those elect who are taken straight to heaven’s gates after death will all be very loving elect souls, although not all will outwardly appear to be exceedingly righteous. For instance, Jesus clearly told the thief on the cross that he would join Him in heaven that very day, that is, immediately after he had died (Luke 23:43).

Some elect spirits can also testify that their spirits have seen the more-loving elect remaining awake with Jesus at heaven’s gates after death. They have witnessed the rejoicing faces of those healed and awakened elect, standing at heaven’s gates with open eyes, smiling at them and praying for them. There are myriads of awake elect standing behind Jesus there, watching us while Jesus watches over us. Through our God Jesus, some elect spirits one earth have “seen” the living spiritual bodies of those deceased praying for our spirits, even more clearly than our eyes of flesh can see anything.

Also, the Revelation talks about the prayers of countless deceased elect. Furthermore, the awake spirits of Moses and Elijah actually came down to earth and spoke with the transfigured body Jesus on earth at one time, in a way that was seen even by bodies of flesh. Thus, we have no doubt that some elect spirits go directly to the gates of heaven, where the judgment day shall take place, and remain awake after the death of their flesh. But even all these will partake in the second resurrection upon the earth, then will be returned to heaven during the rapture, for the judgment day. On the other hand, no spirits have ever seen or heard anything from any of the wicked after their deaths. At times, some mediums might see the spirits of demons who had enslaved those wicked human spirits and had been very familiar with them. For all those demons still remain on earth. But all wicked spirits have been utterly silenced and cannot speak a single word to us after death. And they definitely are not at the gates of heaven, together with the awakened elect. So the non-elect and carnal elect must be kept somewhere else, in some spiritual place set apart from heaven, but not actually in hell either.

This intermediate place, where souls wait for the second resurrection, rapture and judgment day, seems to what the Scriptures call “Hades” or “Sheol.” Hades or Sheol seems to be a temporary holding place for the spirits and spiritual bodies of the dead who are either: (1) the non-elect; or (2) the elect who did not walk according to pure, just, God-like love of their spirits while they lived on earth. This would be an empty and dark place located somewhere in the skies of the spiritual realm, and used solely to hold the dead until their final judgment is completed. It must be a place where the spirits born of Satan go to await the revealing and condemnation of their sins, and also where the worldly elect can drift in empty delusions until Jesus wakes and perfects their weak, lethargic and deceived spirits. So Hades or Sheol resembles hell, since it will be cast into hell and only hell-like things will be thrown into hell. Hades or Sheol must be a dark place, a sphere of existence outside the gates of heaven, containing none of God’s creations. But it cannot be hell itself, since it will be cast into hell. On the judgment day, if anyone’s name is not found in the Book of Life, that one will be cast into hell itself. The lake of fire is the permanent hell, the second eternal death of the loveless.

Keep in mind that hell is a spiritual place, not a physical place. Many preachers love to babble on about fires, pains and tortures in hell, as though they will be experienced by the body of flesh. But they seem to forget that all biblical descriptions of hell use a figurative language, and are speaking about the kind of suffering experienced by the spirit, such as when a love covenant is broken, or when the spirit finds that what it cherished is lost. And the Bible must use allegorical language for spiritual matters because the only possible way to describe them in a language of the flesh is through figures of speech. Of course, the pains of flesh are somewhat like the pains of the spirit too, since God made the temporary material creations as facsimiles of His eternal spiritual creations. Yet there is nothing in any earthly language that can adequately describe the spiritual realms of heaven or hell.

Therefore, God speaks to us about spiritual entities, events and experiences using words that relate to our earthly senses, comparing His spiritual creations to their earthly equivalents. So hell's darkness is not a physical darkness. The darkness in hell is a total lack of God’s light manifesting spiritual truths and realities, a light which will be seen by the eyes of our spiritual bodies just as clearly as our eyes of flesh on earth see physical light reflecting on His less-real material creations. And the darkness of hell will mostly consist of the same delusions and lies which those spirits cherished when they dwelt on earth, which causes demons and their non-elect human offspring to remain as blind to spiritual realities as they were on the earth. Then the fires of hell will be the burning desires of the spirits in hell, their strong lusts made into a futile longings for the gratification of their spirits’ dark delusions and lies. On earth, their bodies of flesh were often able to exploit God's creations to partially but inadequately gratify their own selfish, unjust and ugly desires. Yet hell will be a completely empty, bottomless pit, a void where none of God’s good creations shall be allowed to exist, where spirits fall forever deeper into the darkness they created for themselves. In hell, those spirits who want to be their own gods will not be able to lay their hands on a single thing they can exploit. Hell will not even have any solid ground to stand upon, not a single blade of grass they can pretend to own, nor even a solitary grain of sand, absolutely nothing real. And God will never grant them anything real for all eternity, since those wicked spirits would use whatever He gave for evil, and try to possess it.

Thus, the elect should not become so enraged with the filthy crimes of the non-elect that they begin to think they must somehow punish criminals with as much pain as those monsters caused others to suffer. For those criminals will soon punish themselves with far more pain than they were ever able to cause anyone during their very brief existence on earth. For the ungodly and loveless desires of those non-elect souls will never be falsely comforted again, not by any kind of lie about any kind of ownership, nor by any kind of power to hurt and kill, not ever again, not in any way. So their lack of artificial gratification and unfulfilled lusts will burn like everlasting fires in them, and perpetually eat at their ruthless souls like undying worms. For eternity, their own unholy cravings will torture them, since they will never stop desiring to be their own gods, yet never again murder, oppress, terrorize, control or even pretend to possess anyone or anything to make themselves feel like gods. Their beloved fiction of a “free will” will never delude them again, as it did on earth. The unquenchable, burning, unholy lusts of all vile non-elect spirits will pool into a huge “lake of fire,” into an ocean of impotent rage screaming for a twisted, evil, loveless, ruthless fulfillment that God will never grant.

At the same time, the elect will be more than compensated for any suffering and losses they received through their spirits’ perceptions of material existence. When elect spirits wake from earthly dreams, into the reality of heaven, they will be educated to completion and perfection, so all might gain every inherent desire of their hearts. Thus, God will be just and fill to overflowing all demands for justice, for both the loveless and the loving. Then He will create an impassible gulf between hell and heaven, to keep elect human souls, heavenly angels, other elect living creatures, and His other good creations eternally separated and safe from Satan and his brood. So now let none say that an eternity in hell is an excessive and unjust punishment for the non-elect, especially since time in the spiritual realm is not linear, and eternity is the same as one moment. In reality, it is because God is just that non-elect spirits will dwell in hell forever after the judgment day. The sentence of eternal hell for the loveless non-elect is not more unjust than His free gift of bright eternal grace for His inherently loving elect.

God created the spirits of Satan and his demons, then allowed that devil to create non-elect human spirits on earth. And all those spirits were made to share the same defect, a lack of love. Then it is precisely that lack of love which makes them want to be gods. For those spirits want to gratify the loveless lusts of their spiritual or physical bodies instead of being gratified through a love for God

and others, since they have no love. Consequently, all non-elect spirits strive to possess other living beings and things, hoping to achieve a gratification of their bodily desires. And this means they must then terrorize other living beings into submission, force them to serve and gratify their desires, then destroy any who hinder their gratification. But the loving God Himself only serves His creations, and never lords it over other lives, nor strives after His own glory. Instead, “though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you by His poverty might become rich” (II Cor. 8:9, ESV).

Our God created all things for our inner benefits, including other lives to serve and love for the full gratification of our elect spirits. Our almighty God took the impoverished body of carpenter’s Son for our sakes, then suffered and died in that body for us, at the hands of the unjust non-elect. Jesus never lorded it over us in a palace built for His own glory, pride and pleasures. Rather, He labored throughout His earthly life for our welfare. Likewise, every elect spirit’s attribute of love, created in His image, will do the same. Every awakened elect spirit serves and builds up others. But non-elect human spirits never possess this attribute of love. And that is why Satan, and all the other loveless spirits who belong to him, strive to be glorified and worshipped as gods, why they bully all others to make themselves feel powerful like gods, why they will cling to their lies and delusions for eternity.

Since even the inanimate spiritual things in heaven have a kind of “life” in them, God cannot even allow a grain of spiritual sand to fall into hell. Nothing but the spirits born for hell can dwell there. After those non-elect spirits have served their purpose as educational demonstrations of all that deviates from God’s loving principles and ways, they will still exist in hell, to remind us that love is the most critical attribute we can possibly possess. But they will safely remain in hell. However, that hell shall actually be a mercy for those non-elect spirits. For, in hell, God will let them cling to their beloved delusions and lies, to all the darkness they cherished above all else, while on earth. In hell, they can embrace and glorify their delusions and lies forever. But, in heaven, they could never do that. For God’s unlimited and unrelenting light of truth in heaven would constantly and incessantly burn away their lies and delusions, keep destroying lies in the minds of their spirits, continuously expose the unreality of all they hold dear. Then this would cause the non-elect infinitely more frustrating rage and pain than they would ever experience in hell. This is why God is merciful when He sends the loveless non-elect spirits to hell, when He does not force them to go to heaven where His continuous light would burn away their lies and delusions every moment of every day, and painfully dissolve their every beloved dark thought. Heaven would torture them, leaving them in far more anguish and terrible pain than they would ever know in hell. Since they love darkness rather than light (e.g., John 3:19-20; II Thes. 2:11-12), and that spiritual darkness is all they can ever own, God mercifully grants them their fill of darkness in hell, so they can wallow in its filth forever after.

The existence of heaven for the elect, and the existence of hell for the non-elect, will be an eternal reminder to God’s elect children that they should never allow themselves to pursue any of the vile, vain and loveless delusions that resemble any of those from Satan's world order. Rather, in heaven, the elect must live abundant lives through the love of their spirits. And the elect will indeed see days pass in heaven, although time does not pass in linear way there, as it does on earth. In heaven, the passing of time will be measured by the progress a spirit makes in becoming more powerful in love, more like God. Thus, many of heaven’s spiritual “days” will pass for the elect, even for all eternity. But the non-elect never grow or change. Thus, their “time” in hell will be only one eternal “day.”

So now let the elect on earth remember that worldliness starves their spirits. Even if an elect soul could live on earth for a thousand years, that time would be a blink of an eye compared to the span of eternity. Therefore, if an elect soul could somehow obtain all the desires of the flesh in one’s youth, every kind of possession offered by the world order, and cling to all of it for a thousand years,

Page 1513

that would never even begin to satisfy any of the desires of that elect heart. An elect spirit can never gain inner joy from indulging in carnal things. Only love and good works for loved ones can satisfy.

Then, on the judgment day, the fiery rebukes of Jesus will burn away all selfish, worldly thoughts to purify each elect heart. Jesus’ teachings, training and corrections will expose every worthless self-indulgent action, every loveless lust for earthly garbage, every empty arrogant thought in empty pride, every ruthless selfish ambition, every self-esteeming moment of self-glory through worthless accolades of men, and every delusion of superiority. Each elect soul will be seen for whom one truly is, as Jesus reduces to smoke and ashes every worldly lie from Satan’s world order. In fact, not one thing belonging to the material universe shall remain in anyone’s possession after a very brief life on earth. For absolutely nothing here has any real intrinsic value, no internal and eternal value. After an elect spirit casts aside its earthly flesh, the only things it will carry into the spiritual realm will be the spiritual treasures of God-like, just, equitable love built on a foundation of God’s truth and wisdom.

Each elect spirit, which also belongs to God, will be judged by our God Jesus, according to how faithfully and lovingly that spirit served in the stewardship of all God had put into one’s hands on earth, how much one learned to become more like their loving Creator. What will count with Jesus are the works of love that built up truth and justice in His kingdom on earth, the labors which proved to have godly motives and intentions of the heart. And even the deeds of undoing Satan’s evil works will be secondary to the works that built love, truth and justice. All that Jesus judges will be strictly by the measure of the elect spirit’s trust in the realities and principles of God, by the inner desire to serve and protect His people and His creations. This is why, while we live on earth, nothing but God-like love, which can only come from Jesus and can only be built on a foundation of His truth, is ever able to bring us true, real, inward joy. Literally everything else is shallow, temporary and in the flesh.

II Peter 3:7,10-12 (ESV): “But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are

stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.... But

the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then [i.e., an entire millennium will pass after the Lord

returns, before He destroys the material universe] the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the

heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done

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

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

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

heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!”

In the teachings of Jews and Christians of the first century, they defined three “heavens.” Here the plural “heavens,” indicating the two heaveans which “will be burned up and dissolved,” refers to the first two heavens: (1) the earth’s atmosphere, where birds fly and clouds float, and would also include all the lands below it, since they believed the skies governed all that existed below them; and (2) outer space, including the sun, moon, planets, stars and all within it. In biblical Christian and Jewish teachings, we only find references to these three heavens, where only the third heaven is eternal, what we might call the spiritual space-time continuum, where God and other eternal spirits and matters exists. For instance, Paul spoke of the third heaven in II Cor. 12:2, as the eternal place.

Therefore, after the first two heavens are “burned up and dissolved,” nothing in the entire material space-time continuum will exist any longer. For it was all a perception forced upon the minds of our spirits. Then all the entirely predestined works and thoughts of all who lived on earth will be fully “exposed” and all will be seen for what it truly was. All inner delusions and lies of the world order, all the doctrines, laws and world views invented and perpetrated by Satan and his children, will be

 

Page 1514

evaporated by the light of God’s created, truly effective and eternal realities. Jesus will reveal how only His loving, just ways produce the most beneficial results for all. Then His elect shall know and live by the principles of that kind of love forever. However, Satan’s non-elect human spirit shall still reject the light of that truth throughout eternity, just as their father always did from the beginning.

God, through Peter, said we should be “waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God” (3:12). Here we find the present participle forms of two verbs, and both indicate a repeated, ongoing action. The first is a form of προσδοκάω, translated as “waiting for.” But this verb means “give thought to something that is viewed as being in the future ... the context indicates whether one does this in longing, in fear, or in a neutral state of mind” (BDAG3). So God does not exhort us to simply “wait,” but to be repeatedly giving thought to these future events, with a longing for them in our hearts. Then the second verb is a present participle form of σπεύδω, which logically cannot actually mean “hastening,” since it is utterly impossible to hasten “the coming of the day of God.” Nothing that any created entity can ever do could ever alter the day appointed by our Father for the return of our God Jesus. So, in context, the only rational interpretation must indicate how one should be “very interested in discharging an obligation ... zealous” (BDAG3). Thus, here God exhorts all His elect to be “continuously longing for and zealously fulfilling obligations for the coming of the day of God.”

God does not want us to focus so much on things of this world, and we should never be more eager and zealous for any of them than we are for the things of the spirit. For all of us will surely die in the flesh, and literally all things of this earth will pass away. Also, nothing of this world can be truly owned by us. All we own, including our bodies, is ultimately owned by God, and can be taken away from us by governments or others whom God empowers. Nor is anything from Satan’s world order actually real or beneficial for us or anyone else. All those demonic delusions of the devil, especially money, produce only injustice, suffering and death. All real and eternal realities are held together by the power of God’s eternal Spirit. The energy forming all physical things is actually the transformed spiritual power of God. Thus, all things in this material universe will surely “dissolve” when God withdraws all His power on His appointed day. And we need to look beyond those physical things.

We need to keep our spirits awake, and the thoughts in the minds of our spirits focused on eternal goals. We need to serve God, working just and merciful love with zeal. Most of those attending false, humanistic churches do not truly believe in the real heaven, and this becomes very evident when they face death. For all in those churches are taught to walk according to delusions, with priorities on physical actions, words and rituals, with financial tithes given to human gods without involving any actual works of love by the members themselves. Nothing is really done to grow their spirits in truth and love. Those false churches only appeal to minds of flesh and inundate their thoughts with hopes for the flesh and through the flesh, hopes of rewards through magic words and deeds of their flesh.

Therefore, their minds of elect spirits in those false churches never learn to look forward to heaven, no matter how brainwashed they might be by the human gods in those false churches, no matter how zealously they practice those false religions. But now let the elect realize that all flesh is appointed for death and all material things for destruction, even all the material universe. And a mind of flesh will always scowls in fear, with a hatred of God, as it is about to die. So the elect must learn to see heaven very clearly with the eyes of their spirits. They must learn about heaven by being in heaven itself. Elect spirits must actually live in the real heaven on a daily basis. In our daily lives, we must learn to walk according to our spirits, while Jesus counsels our spirits. Only then will we be able to face death with a hopeful and eager expectation of finally going home, to be with our true Father.

I Peter 4:6-11: “For this is why the Gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that

though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God

does. The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the

sake of your prayers. Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a

multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received

a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever

speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength

that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To

Him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.”

This is the real reason Jesus came to proclaim the Gospel of our New Covenant salvation, why He purchased the restoration of our relationship with our Father and Himself. Jesus wanted us to know that elect souls will be condemned only in the flesh through the death of the flesh. Thus, “the Gospel was preached even to those who are dead” (from: καὶ νεκροῖς εὐηγγελίσθη), to the still-living spirits of all the elect who have ever died in the flesh throughout history. Because the carnal mockers of God’s people “will give account to [our God Jesus] who is ready to judge the living and the dead” (I Pet. 4:5, ESV), the Gospel was preached even to the dead; that is, to the elect among the dead, since it would do no good to preach it to the non-elect. And here Peter contrasted this life with that death through the use of the particles μὲν and δὲ, declaring that this preaching to the dead was done “in order that, on the one hand, they might be condemned in flesh on account of humans but, on the other hand, they might live in spirit on account of God” (from: ἵνα κριθῶσι μὲν κατὰ ἀνθρώπους σαρκὶ ζῶσι δὲ κατὰ θεὸν πνεύματι). Human beings, through peer pressure and by temptations, may drag elect souls down into sins of the flesh and condemnation in the flesh. But God, in contrast, brings life down into elect spirits through the proclamation of their salvation, by granting them their forgiveness and by His works of teaching and training their spirits to love in His just, equitable way.

Our salvation is a process through which our God Jesus builds life in our spirits and causes us to live by the knowledge and wisdom that our spirits receive from Him. We can gain abundant life through all that He proclaims to the minds of our spirits. Our God Jesus does this for us because His Holy Spirit fathered our elect spirits, created our elect spirits in His image. We learn to walk according to the way Jesus counsels our spirits, so we do not walk according to the minds of our flesh, so we will not live in the condemnation of our sins through the flesh. He conforms us into His likeness so we may be free from the lies and sins that so many people drag us into, so our spirits might mature and grow strong, so our eternal spirits can be granted our predestined homes and occupations in heaven.

Although, while we remain on earth, there is nothing we can do to help those who have already died in the flesh, the elect among the dead already have all the help they need. For, even now, our God Jesus is preaching the Gospel to elect spirits among the dead, and will continue to preach His truths to them until the judgment day, when all shall be completed and perfected, until all are ready and fully prepared to inherit their eternal destinies. After the carnal elect die and receive their eternal bodies, those bodies may need to “sleep” for a time in the skies of the spiritual realm, until the judgment day. Nevertheless, the spirts in those bodies made of spiritual substances will be awake enough to hear the truths that our God Jesus speaks. Jesus is able to teach the principles of abundant life to their spirits even while they “sleep.” And, since time is not linear in heaven, the carnal elect who died recently will have as much heavenly time to learn those truths as those who died thousands of years ago, before they all go to the judgment day. Then all the elect will repent into many of the saving truths that Jesus preached to them while they slept, and will run to Jesus in great joy when they awake on that final day. Not one of the elect who died in the past will be cast into hell that day.

Let all the elect realize this. There is no danger of hell for any elect soul that ever existed. For every elect spirit bears the ability to repent into the truth, so one can become able to love and serve in the same way God loves and serves. All that a carnal, sinful but potentially loving elect soul can ever possibly suffer is condemnation in the flesh here on earth. An elect soul can live a dark and empty life on earth, can lack an abundant life of loving and being loved, if that one believes the lies of human beings. But that one’s elect spirit will not remain deceived eternally. For Jesus will proclaim His Gospel truths of salvation to that one’s elect spirit after death, to deliver one from delusions, lies and sins. However, if Jesus awakens an elect spirit now, while one’s elect spirit lives in flesh on the earth, and preaches the Gospel to that elect spirit, so one truly repents into the Gospel truth, then one will not have condemnation in the flesh, but will gain an abundant life of loving and being loved.

Abundant life during this life on earth depends entirely on the condition of the elect spirit, whether or not it is awake, whether or not it heeds the Holy Spirit of Jesus, and whether an elect soul will conduct one’s life according to the desires of one’s flesh or according to the desires of one’s elect spirit. If one walks according to the flesh, and heeds the lies of human beings, all one will gain is condemnation in the flesh. But, if one walks according to the spirit, and heeds the Gospel truths of Jesus’ Holy Spirit, one will gain abundant life even here on earth, and freedom from anxieties about God’s condemnation. For “there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit” (Rom. 8:1, WEB). And this loss of abundant life on earth through lies is what God, through Peter, was trying to warn us about here.

“The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sin. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ” (I Pet. 4:7-11, ESV). From the first day Adam walked in a body of flesh, the end of all material existence has been near. After all, all past and all future times exist at the same time in the material space-time continuum. So anytime within it is “near the end of all things.” And our earthly lives are very brief, at most lasting only a perception of about 100 years.

And, if we “live in the spirit,” then we will conduct our lives according to the loving and far more rational mind of the spirit. We will set our priorities on the most important things of life, and think in a sound, moderate, sane and “sober-minded” way (Greek = σωφρονέω), making right choices which will benefit everyone and all God’s other creations. We will remain alert, watchful and sober (Greek = νήφω) for our prayers of supplication, revelation and praise. Our self-control will be the control of our flesh, souls and lives by the minds of our spirits. Then we will love deeply and earnestly, albeit not always adeptly; and will be loved deeply by other awakened elect spirits in return, although not always adeptly either. If we all walk according to our elect spirits, and not according to the flesh, Jesus will be able to teach us the truths and realities we need to know in order to build up love, and train us in the wisdom we require to build up His kingdom on earth. Then we shall have abundant lives, caring and providing for one another without grumbling, without ever making the ones we help feel guilty or belittled. Each of us will find the destiny and calling for which we were born, each using the unique spiritual and physical gifts granted by God through His unmerited grace “to serve one another,” and His other creations, according to the knowledge, wisdom and strength He gives to each one. If we do all this through our spirits worshipping Jesus, then our God will truly be glorified.

Then, after a very short life on earth, it will seem like only a brief moment will have passed before we see the end of the entire material universe at the beginning of the judgment day. For time in the

Page 1517

Last Days Timeline

 

material world and time in the spiritual realm are very different. God made each soul experience earthly time at a constant speed on a fixed track and in a fixed direction. But after the flesh dies and the spirit receives its “spiritual body,” it will be impossible to measure time with a clock or calendar. For, although time, energy and space will define shapes and distances in heaven, our fully spiritual beings will be able to move anywhere in heaven at any speed, and communicate with each other instantly from any distance. Also, in heaven, God may allow us to see any individual and place on earth at any earthly time. After death, time will be irrelevant to us. So too, even now on earth, time is not very relevant and the end of all things, with the judgment day, are always “at hand” and nearby.

Remember, the kind of self-control we need most is worked by the mind of the spirit, not the kind of self-control that is worked by the mind of flesh. Both kinds are useful but, by far, the most useful and important kind of self-control is worked by the mind of the spirit. The spirit must keep itself awake and alert, always seeking Jesus, begging for peace with Him, finding out all that makes life right with Him, so He might lend His power that causes our spirits to become wise and humble enough to trust in Him and in His words. Otherwise, the strong desires and lusts of the flesh will take our spirits captive, or the contentment of our flesh will lull our spirits to sleep. Yet only our spirits can rightly manage the thoughts in our souls and effectively govern our whole lives, or choose to feed both the minds of spirits and flesh with good and nourishing food, so we can do the works of expressing love from our spirits. For, if a life feeds on the garbage of Satan’s world order, including the lies of false churches, that one’s spirit will soon grow sick, weak and lethargic. Then the mind of flesh will rule over one’s spirit, and one’s life will become a dark, anxious chaos of evil lies and sins.

A firm control exerted by the mind of your spirit over your entire life is absolutely necessary for abundant life, for a life of just love and inner joy. We must remain solidly grounded in the genuine spiritual and physical truths and realities created by God. Also, this kind of self-control, where your spirit manages your entire life in Jesus, enables you to make your prayers according to God’s will, so He may then answer your prayers. For the only prayers God is able to answer are those which do not oppose or contradict His loving, just and equitable will. It is also critical for your flesh to let your spirit heed and trust every word from Jesus’ Holy Spirit, or your spirit cannot manage your life well.

Since God, through Peter, wrote this letter only to the elect, His commands in it are solely for the elect alone. And notice how He rates this command to “keep loving one another,” by saying that it is “above all” the others. The love from our spirits for other elect souls is one of the most important aspects of our lives, “above all” other aspects of our lives. And love can only exist in us, and can only be expressed through our flesh, if we walk according to our spirits, if our spirits continuously seek, heed and trust the concepts which Jesus’ Holy Spirit pours into the minds of our spirits. For only only our spirits are able to love, not our flesh. And our infantile spirits can only love rightly and effectively if Jesus teaches and trains them to love. God’s kind of wise and unconditional love must be granted by God to our spirits through His power, with His teaching and training of our spirits.

When Jesus’ Holy Spirit teaches our spirits, we become like solid pillars and walls firmly set upon the rock foundation of His truth, bearing up the protecting stone roof of His love. We become parts of His body on earth, of the temple of His church. His Holy Spirit dwells with our spirits in our hearts, counseling our spirits of life as His disciples, where His one Spirit in all of us makes us all one. And once the elect become His true church and faithfully serving priesthood, we can all go and meet our God for loving, joyful and fulfilling fellowship in that place. Once the elect learn to be the effective priesthood of God, then God’s true glory of His love are represented before all humankind, and all the elect who are not yet His priests will have representatives that speak to them on God’s behalf, or to God on their behalf. So, because His priesthood must love rightly and wisely as His

Page 1518

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

earthly representatives, and all real love is worked by spirits, never by flesh, our spirits must fully control and manage our lives. Our spirits must prevent the lies, hurtful actions and temptations from others, even the desires and needs of our own flesh, from ever sabotaging the love we are learning to express. For things of this world are constantly trying to stop our spirits from bearing fruits of love.

All elect spirits are made in the image of God’s Spirit, and Jesus is shaping all elect spirits into His image, into His own likeness. And, since the core nature of God’s Spirit is a pure, just kind of love, our elect spirits learn to multiply His kind of love. But, because His kind of love is just and rejoices in the truth, Satan’s world order hates it. For the loveless spirits born of Satan and his offspring only want to feel like gods. So the non-elect esteem and enrich themselves through any means, through injustice, lies and delusions. Since the considerations of love and justice only get in their way and inhibit their attempts to feel like gods, they oppose God, war against God and all His loving elect.

Also remember that the loveless non-elect can indeed become psychopaths. In other words, the loveless non-elect can think very much like Artificial Intelligence (AI), which God has allowed man to create and which can actually serve God’s ultimate purposes. But many now use those inanimate, soulless, loveless AI machines to serve the purposes of the loveless non-elect. Some use various forms of AI to emulate loving speech and perform actions which manipulate some of the truly loving elect human souls into trusting them, but only so they will blindly do works that have nothing to do with the actual, effective, long-term and loving welfare of anyone in the family of humankind. The minds of the psychopathic non-elect use AI to serve their own purposes, since they care nothing for others, but only outwardly behave in pseudo-loving ways to manipulate others for their own selfish purposes, for their own glory and god-like status. So those loveless ones destroy life and love to reach a temporary, meaningless, dark and empty goal, for their own twisted gain and glory. Yet those selfishly ambitious ones are never satisfied whenever they achieve their goals. So they senselessly expand their goals to gain even more power and money, then repeat the same evil process. But all they ever really accomplish is more destruction, suffering and death, even for themselves in the end.

The non-elect actually hate and slander genuine truth, justice, love and all the attributes of the real Creator God, because love cannot exist without justice and real truth, but truth humbles and justice prevents the ruthless pursuit vain glory or loveless power which serves only oneself. But the elect are not like the non-elect. Still, the only difference between an elect person and a non-elect person is the innate, inherent or “genetic” nature of each one’s spirit. Yet a sleeping spirit can be very hard to detect in carnal person’s life. And both the elect and non-elect have exactly the same kinds of flesh, which bears the same strong amoral desires for survival and pleasure. Also, flesh never cares about how it gratifies its cravings, whether it is in a spiritually unjust and loveless way, or in a spiritually just and loving way. Thus, if the elect live solely according to their thoughts and impulses of their flesh, those elect can be trained to look and live exactly like the non-elect. So the non-elect do this.

One of the chief ways that the non-elect train the elect to serve them and Satan, instead of the real God through love, is by inventing false religions. The non-elect will drone on and on about “love” and “God,” but will actually focus entirely upon physical rituals and matters involving only the body and mind of flesh. Satan and his non-elect have become experts at using emotionally appealing and guilt manipulating fake religions to distract and deceive the elect, to make the elect think their spirits can be gratified by them. Their loveless hearts put on loving faces and utter loving words to get the elect to seek spiritual fulfillment through entirely physical actions. They put on a spiritual mask that tricks the elect into worshiping non-elect human gods and Satan himself. Through false religion and fake “spiritual” gratification, which involves mere emotions in their minds of flesh, the elect can be

enslaved by the non-elect, to esteem evil men and serve their spiritually evil purposes, to even hate and persecute their own awake elect siblings and war against their real heavenly Father and Brother.

Sleeping spirits allow their minds of flesh to do all their thinking in the chambers of their souls, and make all their decisions regarding all matters of life and faith. So those kinds of people can be very easily deceived. Even a little child or dog can manipulate them without much effort. And both those with sleeping elect spirits and those with sleeping non-elect spirits are exactly the same, since their flesh is exactly the same. Only those with either awake elect spirits or awake non-elect spirits are able to overcome the manipulations of their own flesh. For those with awake spirits always pursue some kind of strong purpose in life, either a loving and good purpose or a loveless and evil purpose. Also, the more awake a spirit might be, the more powerfully they will set their focus on spiritual goals, and the less they can be distracted from those goals. Thus, it is difficult or nearly impossible for the non-elect to deceive and manipulate the most awake elect, since their spirits hear the Spirit of Jesus when He rebukes lies and warns them about the evil motives and intentions of those non-elect.

Neither the non-elect nor the carnal sleeping elect can effectively serve God’s people and His other good creations in truly beneficial ways, through pure, just, equitable love grounded on real truth, on the whole, complete and uncorrupted realities necessary to make right decisions. Only the elect with spirits that are at least partially awake, possess the right desire, God-given abilities, a prioritized focus, a resolve for justice and enough love to learn enough truth to do what is wise and genuinely necessary for all should be granted decision-making power. Awake elect men must learn to provide spiritual and moral frameworks, structures and general moods for groups of local nuclear families in churches and communities, patched into larger cooperating networks. Then the most awake and spiritually mature men, whom God has chosen, must learn the same for the larger social structures and whole nations. And awake elect women must learn to help those men with some of the more organic, emotional and psychological works and observations at every level as well, uniting them all.

Literally all elect have spirits crave God-like love, which eventually manifests at various levels in their words and deeds, and that love is how we identify them. And that love in their spirits will often war against their flesh, and against their outer consciences shaped by their cultures and Satan’s world order. Their spirits build up a resolve to do what is true, good and beneficial for all, despite opposing desires which frequently seek to appease their flesh. And this resolve for justice and equity in their elect spirits can only grow and remain solid through the growth of pure God-like love in their spirits, a love which can “cover a multitude of sins,” and stop the sins of one’s own flesh. Then this love also resolves to undo the works of Satan and heal the effects of sin, in order to build God’s kingdom.

Remember, our God Jesus judges by the motives and intentions of the spirit. And the resolve of the spirit becomes the motives and intentions which He shall judge on the last day, becomes all that Jesus will judge. For He will not what was in our flesh, which will be discarded and replaced before that day even begins. Since the amoral flesh is only capable of mustering up a weak, inconsistent, ever-changing resolve to say or do anything, the motives and intentions of the flesh barely even exist and are not even worth judging, since those fleeting thoughts pass away or are forgotten so quickly and easily. Consequently, if everything our God Jesus will judge, to either bless or curse each human soul for all eternity, originates from the love and hate of a spirit, as love and hate grows resolve, then the main focus of the elect during their earthly lives should be to learn to love and hate in the same ways God loves and hates, so we might resolve to say and do what God Himself says and does, so the motives and intentions of our spirits become the same as the motives and intentions of our God.

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

If we produce any beneficial words or deeds through our spirit’s love for God’s people or creations on earth, God will eternally reward us. But He will reward us through His unmerited and unearned grace alone. For it was God who created the inherent desire to love and do those works in our spirits; and it was God who taught us how to use His personally owned resources to do those works; and it was God who caused all the circumstances which prompted us to do those works. We are God’s works, and He created us to do those loving works together with Him, to receive the reward of inner joy by doing those works. God did the work of creating us so we might do the same works He does.

First God created the eternal spirits of life in plants and animals, before He created us. For God is love, and His love wants to serve other eternal spirits of life. Then, one aspect of serving those other beloved spirits of life is to train them for their joyful eternal works in heaven’s lands, which He does by creating temporary perceptions of earthly life in the minds of their spirits. And one of the main reasons God did those first works of creating and serving those other spirits is so He can also share His own joy in serving them. Thus, God then created His human children in His image, so they can labor beside Him for the good of His other beloved creations. And God also created the perceptions of material existence in the minds of human elect spirits, so He can teach and train them, so they can begin to learn how to serve His other beloved creations, together with Him. Therefore, the entire reason for our existence, and the only real joy of our spirits, can be found solely in our loving labors for His creations, in serving other human beings and all other living beings together with Him. So these works are not merely a duty. Rather, the only way we can possibly gain any true fulfillment of the inherent desires of our spirits, for our inner joy, is by doing good works through our spirits’ love.

But loveless non-elect souls can never earn any favor from God by doing good deeds, because they cannot do them through love from their spirits. Non-elect spirits cannot resolve to do good through any kind of good motives and intentions in their spirits. And they cannot possibly earn heaven by doing enough good works, since their flesh, which God owns, cannot possibly use the resources God owns to fulfill even a tiny fraction of their duty to God. Not even the most awakened loving elect can do that! Besides, the non-elect definitely do not want to go to the real heaven. What they really want is a fictional and very carnal heaven which provides for all the lusts of their eyes, lusts of their flesh and pride of earthly life. And, although the figurative terms of the Bible seem to describe heaven in that way, because its words in the languages of the flesh cannot directly convey spiritual concepts, the real heaven is nothing like that. The beauty of heaven is dimly portrayed by earth’s beauty, the gratification of spiritual bodies in heaven is through our works of service, and worldly status does not exist in heaven, only degrees of responsibility and skill levels, which are equally respected by all life in heaven, including by our God Jesus. So the non-elect will never obtain the kind of “heaven” they desire, and they would hate the real heaven. Thus, the only place they can possibly flee is into eternal hell, where their evil desires will be limited by impassible barriers and by the power of God.

Likewise, the only thing the non-elect can possibly gain on earth is a life limited by God and by His faithful elect. If the non-elect are prevented from fulfilling their wicked spiritual desires while they dwell on earth, if they cannot do evil works to reinforce their dark lies and delusions, they will not “earn” nearly as much torment in hell. If the non-elect are not allowed to do evil on earth, they will feel far less frustration in hell, where they will lack the power to gratify any of their evil desires. Yet, if the non-elect are allowed to gratify their evil desires on earth through the works of their flesh, they may briefly feel good about their lies and sins, while it makes them feel like gods. However, the realities of God’s creations will soon force them to realize that they are not complete gods. So the scope of their evil desires will grow even larger in their spirits, together with the lies and delusions accompanying them. Then they will strive to gratify those greater evil desires, hoping to become

 

Page 1521

Last Days Timeline

 

even greater gods. But, in the end, their flesh will die and they will be able to do nothing that will make them feel like gods. Then their spirits will need to flee into hell, where not even one of their evil desires can ever be gratified, not in the least way. So the more evil they are allowed to do on this earth through their flesh, the more they will suffer the torments of frustration in hell’s eternal void.

Conversely, if an elect soul commits a lie or sin through love from one’s spirit, even in the hope of accomplishing some kind of good, an internal conflict and godly sorrow will rise up in that elect soul. The Holy Spirit will convict the elect spirit, and may even draw that spirit’s attention to it by causing the flesh to experience the bad effects, so the spirit might then realize that a lie or sin cannot actually ever produce the best and most effective good results. Then this will lead to repentance into the truth, into the wiser and more beneficial ways of God. The elect spirit may also labor to bear fruits of repentance, in an attempt to right the wrongs one has done. This is actually the process of educating the elect spirit, of teaching and training that spirit to become more like its Father and oldest Brother. The elect spirit learns to love in more just and wise ways each day. And the corrected and right motives and intentions of that elect spirit bring forgiveness and a restored relationship with God. In this way, the elect spirit’s love “covers a multitude of sins,” not only by striving to heal and restore all that was harmed or lost through its lies and sins, but because God “forgets” and forgives all of one’s lies and sins, which were done in the ignorance of the spirit and weakness of the flesh.

Furthermore, if an elect soul sins against another elect soul, then repents through the teaching and training of Jesus, an elect victim is willing to forgive the sinning elect sibling for the sakes of Jesus, other elect siblings, and oneself. The awake and loving elect cannot bind a repentant sibling to guilt and punishment, because Jesus does not. And forgiving other sinners through their repentance, is how God maintains bonds of love between the elect, how He unites them in one body with one mind and one purpose in Him. This also means that an entire local church can have their relationships broken by the sins of an unrepentant sinner, because the sin is not properly handled. If a sinner does not truly repent, but some elect foolishly forgive that unrepentant sinner, while Jesus and the wiser elect refuse to forgive and closely fellowship with that sinner until that sinner repents, it will divide the priesthood of God. Our God Jesus and His faithful elect know a sinner will continue to sin, until that one has been taught the truth and repents into that truth. Those who know the will of Jesus also know that He has not yet forgiven that sinner and that the relationship of that unrepentant sinner with Jesus remains broken. As a result, as the foolish and disobedient ones forgive while the wise and truly faithful do not, the body is torn apart. And those wounds cannot be repaired until the foolish forgivers will repent of their sins into the truth, then withdraw their forgiveness from the unrepentant sinner, so they can be forgiven for their sinful forgiveness. Also, the reverse is also true. Painful and wounding divisions can result if the wise and faithful elect forgive a repentant sinner, whom Jesus has taught and forgiven, but the foolish, proud and carnal elect refuse to forgive that repentant sinner.

Of course, the non-elect never repent. So they can never be forgiven. Of course, the faithful elect do not remain bitter against any sinners, whether they are elect or non-elect sinners, but simply forget those sins so they can enjoy life and love without them. But the wise elect know the non-elect have no love to cover over sins, no innocent motives and intentions of the spirit, nothing in them that can bear any real fruits of repentance. Instead, the non-elect will lie about and hide their sins, and may even kill to cover up their sins, to save themselves from the consequences of their sins. Thus, since only the elect who inevitably sin, but can also repent, only the elect can be forgiven and welcomed back into a right relationship with Jesus and His priesthood. Because Jesus can redeem only the elect, we only allow the repentant elect to work beside Jesus and us in His church. Then Jesus can

 

Page 1522

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

transform these repentant elect into His holy people, even if they sin and truly repent over and over again, since the process of sinning, experiencing godly sorrow and repenting, trains them to love.

Also, the elect realize that every lie or sin is an attack against God, and against all one’s siblings in the family of humankind, especially against those who bear God’s name. For they know that God created realities and truths, that there are right and effective ways of love which God ordained all to live by, and we must repent into them. But the non-elect believe whatever lies they want to believe for their own benefit, whether their beliefs prove true or not, then sin in whatever ways they can falsely justify for themselves. The non-elect will call murder and other psychopathic sins “the truth” or even “love.” We have all seen this. Look at how the Satanic non-elect, who are destined for the darkest depths of hell, will pose as Evangelicals, then promote Hitler and Trump. Since it is utterly impossible to reason with them, they cannot repent into any truths, and cannot be saved by Jesus.

Only the elect can inwardly admit that they have actually sinned, that they have failed God and all life on earth in very real ways, that they have often lied to themselves and to others, that they have no right to be respected at all, and they are equal to all sinners. And our honest, candid God can only teach and reason with the elect who can truly admit all this in their hearts. So only these elect can repent into the real truths that the Holy Spirit of Jesus teaches to them. Then this repentance of an elect sinner into the actually existing physical and spiritual truths and realities that God created, will restore that elect sinner’s loving relationship with Jesus and with other elect siblings. For this kind of realization, that one’s own personal lies and sins affect God’s name and His entire family, is a critical aspect of the kind of love which “covers over a multitude of sins.” For only these elect are truly honest enough to stop hiding their own failures and sins, to face them and deal with them, so they can then also help others deal with the same sins. Also, since all these elect repent, their souls do not remain bound by guilt and self-condemnation, ashamed of their sins, and hiding their sins through an inner dishonesty. Rather, all truly repentant elect sinners focus on building up their future lives with other repentant equal sinners in God’s priesthood. All these learn from their Teacher Jesus with equal urgency, so all might become able to rightly and wisely serve Jesus and His creations through love.

Also, notice that Peter’s first example of how to “keep loving one another earnestly” was this: “Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.” Of course, the pagan Roman definition of the word “hospitality” is to be polite and give beverages to like-minded visitors, but exploit, hate and persecute all others. But the ecclesiastical meaning of “hospitality” (φιλόξενος) is very different, and they also gave this kind of love even to their neighbors who were not like-minded, who were not of the same culture, race, religion or creed. A biblical kind of hospitality was not merely about smiling, being polite and offering a few refreshments. Rather, it actually involved sacrificing the time, effort, resources and expenses to freely house, feed, cloth and provide for all the needs that one’s neighbor lacked, but in ways where one did not aid and abet the lies and sins of that neighbor. And this kind of care had to be done through genuine, God-like, just love, without selfishness, pride or complaining.

So the kind of love that God’s Word talks about, the kind that “covers a multitude of sin,” is not all merely talk and emotions of the flesh. Rather, this kind of love always translates into real actions that seek to provide actual just solutions to the problems faced by our neighbors, and where Jesus defined our neighbors as anyone whom we have the means and opportunity to communicate with and help. The Jesus also demanded that we help our neighbors equitably. For He told us to love our neighbor in the sames way we would want to be loved if we found ourselves in the same situation. Jesus even commanded us to empathize with our neighbors in this way, and we can only empathize with others if we too have experienced the same kinds of losses and injuries, and are honest enough to admit it.

Since God owns all upon the earth, and all we can become are mere stewards of His property, we need to reject the Roman delusions about how we can become “rightful owners” of property so we can do whatever we want with God’s people and His other creations. For those sins of greed and lusting for power always steal love and life from the sinners. Yet Evangelicals and other churches today zealously wallow in the mire of those sins, and extol the “virtues” of ruthless greed and power. They have become just like the churches in Germany, Europe, America, Canada and other parts of the world did in the 1930’s, just before the second World War. Back then, they became cruel, stupid and dishonest, embracing the demonic fascist named Hitler, helping him murder 70 million men, women and children on earth. Now, through exactly the same carnal lust for power and forms of greed, the same churches and same “Christian” organizations blindly believe exactly the same lies, call exactly the same kinds of truths “fake news,” persecute the innocent through exactly the same willful stupidity, and call Trump their “Daddy” sent by “Gawd” in exactly the same way they did with Hitler. If an Evangelical American Republican Nazi from the 1930’s rose from the dead today, he would find the Evangelical Republican supporters of Trump to be exactly the same, except that today’s Evangelicals worship both Trump and Hitler, instead of Hitler alone. And, in the future, when the demonically controlled fascist beast comes, Evangelicals will be exactly the same then too.

Honest souls can plainly see that no one can ever truly own anything, nor impart life to anything, nor keep themselves or anything else alive. In reality, we are all mere weak, foolish, manipulated infants with absolutely no power to make choices about living or dying. And money is simply an invention of demonic spirits, a tool used by Satan to make his blind puppets feel like gods exerting power over their “inferior” siblings. But those puppets die, since only the real God ultimately and actually rules over all lives and all existence. Consequently, while our God Jesus allows us to live, we serve Him with whatever He granted us to use as His stewards, solely for His just, equitable, loving purposes.

Jesus, Our Creator and God, appointed us to be the stewards of our bodies and His other properties through His grace alone. We do not earn or merit these bodies of flesh or anything else, since all on earth exists for His purpose of teaching and training His beloved infantile spirits of life, who are not able to earn or merit anything from Him. All we have, including our bodies, are free gifts, given to us for the purpose of learning to love and serve others. And we were given nothing for the purpose of serving only ourselves, nor do we have anything meant to serve human gods or any other false gods.

If our spirits are honest, we admit that all we are, and anything our tiny bodies can possibly use in this vast material universe, exists solely through God’s creating power. Then we also admit that we can only live to access an extremely small array of His creations through His unearned, unmerited grace alone. And our flesh can eat only a very small portion of the fruits on His earth, sleep in only one tiny space at a time, and grasp only a minuscule number of His creations, before that flesh dies. But our eternal, much larger and more real spirits can love God, in whom and through whom literally all exists. Then, in Him, we will eternally love millions of spirits of life, in infinite spiritual lands that we will traverse and explore forever. Therefore, we joyfully serve our real God Jesus alone, with whatever He grants our hands of flesh to hold while He causes and allows us to live on earth. And we serve Him by serving His people and His kingdom on earth. Each elect soul freely and wisely gives to others according to one’s own means, according to whatever God provides, and according to what God specifically calls one’s heart to do. And we give so that each sibling shall receive all one’s own personal needs for life, all spiritual and physical needs, all educational and occupational needs, all that one needs to survive and provide loving “hospitality” through one’s own love. Each does all the works Jesus calls one to do, knowing that He alone creates, owns and shapes all, so that only He deserves all the glory for all good existing on this earth, including all that His infantile children do.

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

Daniel 12:1-3 (ESV): “At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of

your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a

nation till that time [this ‘time of trouble’ refers to the time of the plagues in the eras of the sixth and

seventh seals] . But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be

found written in the book. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,

some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And those who are

wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to

righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.”

Through Daniel, God spoke about a “those who are wise,” who “shine like the brightness of the sky above.” These will be the elect whom Jesus awakens during the end times, beginning in the era of the sixth seal and lasting until the day He returns. And they will not be like the bullying, murdering, greedy, hate-filled, paranoid, materialistic Evangelicals and Roman Catholics. Rather, they will be those in whom Jesus will write His just, loving Law, who will shine with God’s righteousness and holiness in their love. Then these will also “turn many to righteousness,” many elect to the same kind of loving justice and equity that Jesus teaches to them. But the non-elect will go from bad to worse, falling ever deeper into the lies and delusions which feed their egos and gratify their lusts.

When God revealed this to Daniel about “your people” at a future time, many would be Jewish, the physical descendants of Jacob, like Daniel himself. But God would “deliver” only the elect among those Jews, only the Jews whose names would be “found written in the book.” And the “book” in this prophecy is the same “Book of Life” that the Revelation told us about. So a remnant of elect Jews in the Diaspora and in Israel will remain alive and will be “delivered” or saved at the second coming of Jesus. But the Book of Life contains all the names of all the elect who ever lived on earth, both the Jewish and Gentile elect, since it was written at the foundation of the world, before God created the earth. So this prophecy also applies to all the Gentile elect in that book, all whom Jesus gathers into His tribe of Judah. The Gentile elect throughout the world are also those whom God called Daniel’s people, who will be “delivered” during that “time of trouble.” Both the Jewish and Gentile elect will be the “wise” and the “righteous” who “shall shine like the brightness of the sky.”

Daniel also prophesied about the second resurrection at the end of the millennium, just before Jesus “burns” away the material universe and begins the judgment day. When this will occur, “many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt” (Dan. 12:2, ESV). Actually, a better translation of this might be: “And those many who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake ...” For the phrase, “many of those who sleep” implies that “many” of those who died will be resurrected, but not necessarily all. However, this refers to literally all of the dead, to “those many who sleep.” Literally all the dead elect Jews and Gentiles will awake on earth. At the same time, literally all the non-elect Jews and Gentiles will be resurrected on the earth too. Then literally all who were resurrected and all those still-living will be raptured up to the gates of heaven for their judgment. After this, literally all the elect will begin their walk in “everlasting life.” But Jesus will expose all motives and intentions of literally all non-elect spirits on that last day. Thus, all church hypocrites and all the other loveless, self-serving non-elect will receive “everlasting contempt” from God and His elect, then flee in “shame” through hell’s gate.

Jesus also spoke about all this: “[The Father in heaven] has given [the Son] authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man [i.e., the title ‘Son of Man” refers to God born in human flesh among us, so He can identify with us and empathize with our weaknesses when He judges us] . Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear His voice and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment

Last Days Timeline

 

[i.e., the noun ‘judgment’ can be translated as ‘a condemning sentence’ by the Judge]” (John 5:27-29, ESV). The countless souls who died throughout history, from the days of Adam to the end of the millennium, will rise from the dead and dwell on earth for an unspecified period of time. After this resurrection, the rapture and end of the material universe will occur, then the teachings of the judgment day will shame every human who ever lived in a body of flesh. But the non-elect will not respond to those bright exposures of their foolishness and sins like the elect. His words will lead the elect to a noble repentance through godly sorrow, and into “everlasting life.” But the non-elect will cling even tighter to the beloved darkness of their lies and delusions, then flee into hell with “everlasting contempt.”

The end times will indeed be “a time of trouble,” greater horrors than the earth has ever seen in all history. However, we need to realize that most of our pain experienced during our troubles originates from the emotions of our flesh, not from the actual troubles themselves. So all who maintain positive and good emotions never suffer as many negative and adverse effects through their troubles as those who feed only their negative and bad emotions during their troubles. One with good emotions can suffer far greater troubles with less bad effects than one with bad emotions. For instance, one who worships money wills suffer far more from a financial loss than one who does not worship money.

We have seen a rich man commit suicide to end his pain after losing most of his wealth, although he remains healthy, free and still possesses far more than the poorest souls in his land. At the same time, we have seen an awake elect soul rejoice that he still lives to serve God and his loved ones, after his enemies have violently beaten him and confiscated literally everything he had, then forced Him to flee from them like a criminal fugitive. This provides a clue as to how the elect will be “delivered” from and survive the great tribulations of the end times. For the eternal spirits within our souls are the only parts of us that can maintain good emotions in our minds of flesh, and only if our spirits are able to become wise and strong enough to make our flesh submit to them. And the only way an elect spirit can become wise is by being taught to recognize the spiritual and physical realities that are affecting one’s life, then trained to rightly handle those truths. And only the Holy Spirit of Jesus can open the eyes of our spirits to see and apply those truths—such as perceiving money problems as the mere delusions of Satan, then rising up each morning to face each new day with joy and hope inside.

Before Jesus returns, He will make many elect wise, first during a world-wide true revival at the beginning of the end times, then through repentance during the tribulations of the seventh seal’s era. “And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above.” Furthermore, those elect will also “turn many to righteousness,” will impart a permanent desire for loving justice, so they will shine “like the stars forever and ever.” Each elect soul will radiate inner joy, will be fully satisfied and rejoice in whatever ministry Jesus created, predestined, prepared and appointed for each. By working together as one body with one mind, the elect of the world will provide for one another, as each contributes one’s own unique skills for the good of all. And all shall work with great zeal and joy, with inexpressible satisfaction in their hearts. For, among the elect, “laziness” only occurs when one’s true calling is suppressed or under-utilized. But that will not happen in Jesus’ true church. So, apart from a few miracles, God will mostly “deliver” us from our great tribulations by teaching us wisdom, since it is His only earthly gift which makes love effective and our salvation is wise love.

I Corinthians 15:20-26; 42-58 (ESV): “But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the

firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a Man has come

also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die [because all inherit bodies of flesh from

Adam], so also in Christ shall all be made alive [since all will be resurrected from the dead on the last

day, both the good and the evil] . But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits [first Jesus rose from

the dead in His body of earthly flesh, before ascending into heaven as His earthly body was transformed into a

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

spiritual body], then at His coming those who belong to Christ [those who belong to Christ and are

‘made alive ... at His coming,’ are those of the first resurrection, mostly those beheaded by the beast, but likely

includes other elect who died in the past, possibly even prophets and apostles.] Then comes the end [i.e.,

the material universe is destroyed] , when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father after

destroying every rule and every authority and power. For He must reign until He has put all

His enemies under His feet [during the millennium]. The last enemy to be destroyed is death....

“So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable [in bodies of flesh]; what

is raised is imperishable [in bodies made of spiritual substances]. It is sown in dishonour; it is

raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body [i.e.,

literally ‘a soulish body,’ where the mind of flesh conflicts with the mind of the spirit in the soul] . It is raised a

spiritual body [i.e., where the mind of the spirit has no conflicts with the mind of a body made of spiritual

substances]. If there is a natural body [i.e., 'a soulish body'], there is also a spiritual body. Thus it

is written, ‘The first man Adam became a living being’ [Adam was made alive in temporary flesh];

the last Adam [i.e., Jesus] became a life-giving Spirit. [All elect, even Adam, will inherit eternal

‘spiritual bodies’ from Jesus. More than this, His Holy Spirit works eternal life in our spirits even now.]

“But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural [i.e., the ‘soulish’], and then the spiritual.

The first man [Adam] was from the earth, a man of dust; the second Man [Jesus, our God] is

from heaven. As was the man of dust [Adam was of flesh which came from earth’s dust and will return

to dust], so also are those who are of the dust, [i.e., we are all from Adam and inherit temporary flesh

which dies, then will perish with the material universe.] and as is the Man of heaven, so also are those

who are of heaven. [All elect spirits are born of God in heaven, as entities in that spiritual realm, and will

receive eternal, spiritual bodies like the transformed body of Jesus who now lives in heaven.] Just as we

have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.

[Jesus now lives in heaven, in a ‘spiritual body’ made of a spiritual substances. And we too shall be raised from

the dead and see our resurrected bodies of flesh transformed into the kind of body He now has.]

“I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the

perishable inherit the imperishable, Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep [not all

flesh will die, since some will be alive at the end of the millennium, just before God destroys the material space-

time continuum], but we shall all be changed , in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the

last trumpet [i.e., the time of the seventh trumpet will include the return of Jesus, the entire millennium, and

the judgment day at the gates of heaven] . For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised

imperishable, and we shall be changed [this refers to the second resurrection]. For this perishable

body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.

“When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall

come to pass the saying that is written: ‘Death is swallowed up in victory.’ ‘O death, where is

your victory? O death, where is your sting?’ [Death will be destroyed when the material universe is

destroyed after the second resurrection.] The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law .

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my

beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord,

knowing that in the Lord your labour is not in vain.”

Here Paul gave a complex explanation about the importance of knowing that Jesus rose from the dead in His body of human flesh, before He transfigured it into a spiritual body, as He ascended up to heaven. His resurrection in the flesh illustrated what He would do for us, showed us how He first had to perform a process in us through our lives in the flesh, before He could grant our eternal lives in the spiritual realm of heaven. And keep in mind that Paul wrote to a true and mature church, not to

a fake humanistic church like we see today. So his audience had heard Paul and other true teaching elders explain the true biblical eschatological doctrines of our God Jesus in full, during many long Saturday Sabbath services and at other teaching times. Thus, Paul was concise in this teaching, using terms and concepts that they were familiar with. But now it is far more difficult for us to even begin to comprehend what Paul was talking about, because humanists deeply corrupted all those teachings, starting in the second century, and most know almost nothing about those true teachings in our day.

Paul was telling us that, after the second resurrection of literally all who had ever lived and died on earth, all will rise to heaven for the judgment day. And all shall receive new, eternal, spiritual bodies from Jesus as they are rising up from the earth to heaven, in the same way that Jesus did. So we shall begin to ascend in our resurrected bodies of flesh from the earth. Then, as our bodies rise, they will be transfigured into “spiritual bodies,” into bodies made of spiritual substances, of elements from the spiritual space-time continuum. And, when we arrive in the spiritual realm of heaven, we shall all be judged by Jesus. But keep in mind that Scriptures say the spiritual realm is actually very near the material realm. Both are co-existent, where the temporary material realm actually exists within the eternal spiritual realm. So the earth is not far from heaven. Thus, our rising from the earth is merely a return to the more real and concrete reality that our spirits already exist within and already know.

Lastly, after the teachings of Jesus during the judgment day, the elect will remain in the bright part of heaven with Jesus, in the home of their spirits’ Father and oldest Brother. But the non-elect shall be separated from all of God’s good creations, by being cast into hell, where not even the dimmest light of God will ever shine, and nothing else exists, not a square inch of ground nor any good living spirit that they can abuse. And being separated from God’s good creations is the definition of death. When we die on earth, our spirits are removed from God’s earthly creations, which we call death. And it is the same in heaven. So, although all who died in bodies of flesh on earth will be resurrected into life again, and able to walk among God’s creations there for a time, the non-elect will truly die after the judgment day. The non-elect will be cast into a second, final and real death forever, the death of hell.

There will also be another resurrection of the dead “at His coming,” when Jesus returns to the earth. But this will only include “those who belong to Christ.” All these elect who will be resurrected at this time will receive earthly bodies of flesh to live on earth with Jesus during the millennium (see Rev. 20:4-6). And the purpose of this first resurrection is presumably to provide teachers to the elect on earth who survived the tribulations of the end times. For those resurrected elect will have spent some time in heaven with Jesus learning some truths which those still alive on earth could not learn.

Now here, when Paul referred to the coming of Christ, he did not mention that Jesus would remain on earth for a thousand years, nor anything about the rebellion of Gog and Magog at the end of the millennium. But Paul likely knew something about these events from the Old Covenant prophecies and through the Holy Spirit. Apparently, Paul also knew that Christ would ascend into heaven shortly after the second resurrection of the dead too. But Paul lumped all these earthly events together and simply called them “His coming.” And, since Paul had already taught all he knew about these events to his audience, simply referring to “His coming” indicated the whole series of events after the return of Jesus, including the time He would remain on earth and His ascension from earth.

Likewise, Paul’s reference to “the kingdom” indicates the whole kingdom of God, both in heaven and on earth. And he would not need to explain this to his audience, since he would have already used this term in this way, when he personally taught them in previous times. Then his audience in the true church of Corinth also would have heard Paul (and possibly even Peter) preach about how Jesus would eventually “burn” the first two “heavens,” how He would destroy what we now call the

material universe. So, when Paul wrote about “when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power,” the church at Corinth would have realized what this meant. Here Paul was referring to the time when Jesus will bring all the humans who ever lived in His earthly kingdom to the Father’s heavenly kingdom, after destroying everything on earth.

After the millennium, Jesus will release Satan, the ruler of the world order. Then Satan will create non-elect humans who will assemble in the lands of Gog and Magog, then rebel against our God Jesus. These non-elect will revive all the humanistic beliefs of the first three kingdoms of the devil, the foundational doctrines of the demonic beast. Then Jesus will kill all those non-elect souls. Thus, Jesus will destroy the last remnants of Satan’s world order, “every rule and every authority and power,” every false teaching and unjust law or rule, every human wanna-be god that Satan has ever established on earth. Then Jesus will also destroy the entire material universe and deliver all human souls to the Father’s kingdom of heaven, where He will judge all the living and the dead. At that time, Jesus will teach all the elect for the completion and perfection of their repentance. But He will cast all of Satan’s children into hell, where they will remain forever with their father and truly die.

But, after saying this, Paul also told us, “For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.” So Paul knew that, before Jesus destroyed “every rule and every authority and power,” He must “reign” on earth for a time, until He defeated all His spiritual enemies on earth. So this “reign” of Jesus refers to the millennium, to the thousand years of His reign over all the nations on the earth. Jesus must reign on earth until He destroys the very last of the lies spread by His enemies, all that corrupted the the thoughts and actions of His elect children. Until Jesus exposed and crushed every false spiritual or moral teaching of all the political, economic and military systems in Satan’s world order, especially those of the beast’s four humanistic kingdoms, He would remain on earth. And Jesus could not destroy all this until He exposed and destroyed the lies of Gog and Magog, at the end of the millennium. Only after the last three kingdoms of the beast would be thoroughly expunged from the earth, would Jesus have “put all His enemies under His feet.” And this will be “when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power.”

Here it also tells us that “the last enemy to be destroyed is death.” So “death” is an “enemy” of God. And this must refer to death on earth, since there is no death of that kind in heaven, no death that can possibly be “destroyed.” So, if death on earth is God’s enemy, why did God create it, along with all the other evils which make death a welcome relief? To understand this, we must remember that the Scriptures portray earth as a training ground, where God educates the spirits who will live with Him in heaven. And that education requires the exposure of those spirits to both good and evil, to both the spiritual “friends” and “enemies” of God. For, through their experiences on the earth, those spirits must learn the radically different effects of both, and how to discern between the two. This is the beginning of education for all infants, followed by training in how to apply the truths taught by God.

Now we can conclude that physical death is an enemy of God, since it removes a spirit from God’s good creations on earth, such as from loved ones. On the other hand, God planned and predestined all things on earth. So literally all things work together for the good of those who are in Him, that is, for all elect spirits destined for heaven. Thus, even the death of the flesh is not ultimately bad for elect spirits, and leads to a far greater life in heaven. Yet physical death is still painful and removes spirits from loved ones, as well as from other good creations of God on earth. So physical death remains an enemy of God, which His holy love must eventually destroy for the sakes of His beloved elect spirits. The separations caused by death must be eliminated just as much as all other temporary evil spirits and spiritual lies that God created or allowed to be be created for educational purposes.

But, to destroy death on the earth, Jesus must actually destroy His entire material creation. For the entire material universe was created to house both evil and good, both death and life. Dissipation into death is a virtual law of God in the entire material space-time continuum, and nothing physical can ever escape the power and reach of that law. And that law of entropy and death also reveals that God did not create the material realm to be permanent, even that our perceptions of it in our lives on earth are not nearly as real as our lives will be in His spiritual realm. In this very temporary material realm, God intentionally allowed what He could not allow in His permanent home of heaven. And, although its temporary evil and wage of death can never actually harm the eternal spirits whom He causes to experience it, God will forbid evil and death to exist after its purposes are completed. So Jesus will destroy the material universe, and death with it. After the rapture and judgment day, spirits will never again experience the simultaneous existence of both good and evil. Thus, Satan and his non-elect will never again be able to hold power over anyone or anything, nor kill any form of life.

Then Paul reminds the elect readers about the difference between their bodies in heaven, made of eternal spiritual substances, and their soulish bodies on earth, which must constantly contend with the amoral impulses and desires from their temporary minds of flesh. And he concludes: “So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable” (I Cor. 15:42, ESV). In context, this can only refer to the second resurrection of all the dead, of all the elect and non-elect who ever lived on earth throughout history. For only these resurrected ones will be raptured or raised up to the gates of heaven for the judgment day, and transfigured from their soulish bodies into spiritual bodies along the way. So all will experience what Jesus experienced at His ascension after His resurrection from the dead. And that judgment in heaven will occur after Jesus destroys the material universe, along with death. Nothing perishable will ever exist again after that.

God did not merely intellectually reveal all this to Paul, but actually showed him these realities. For Paul was the “man in Christ who was caught up into the third heaven,” although he did not know if this experience was “in the body” or “out of the body” (II Cor. 12:2, WEB). Either way, we can trust that Paul definitely witnessed how our perishable, dishonorable, weak, earthly bodies of flesh will be replaced with imperishable, honorable, powerful bodies made of spiritual matter as we rise up into heaven, when we enter the bright regions of the realm we might now call the eternal, non-material space-time continuum, where there is no entropy nor a linear timeline. All the spirits of life on earth who have been predestined for heaven—all elect human, animal and plant spirits of life—will be granted new bodies of “glory” in heaven, meaning those bodies will receive God’s “good opinion.”

Whenever the word “glory” was used in a positive sense throughout the Bible, it usually referred to the “good opinion” of God. And Paul declared that a spirit of life is “sown in dishonor” on earth, but “is raised in glory” (I Cor. 15:43). So, while we live in bodies of flesh on earth, God does not seem to have a very “good opinion” of us, since our flesh causes us to commit sins, makes literally all the elect look dishonorable and even disgusting. To God, we are infants, but far worse than babies with soiled diapers, definitely not as great as we perceive ourselves. But Jesus died in the flesh for us, to condemn the sins of our flesh to the flesh. Thus, when our flesh dies, the sins of that flesh have died on the cross with the flesh of Jesus. Yet all elect spirits readily repent into the truth. And, when we rise from the dead, as Jesus did, we will be granted spiritual bodies which comply with the minds of our spirits. Then our God will consistently maintain a good opinion of all His beloved elect children.

As mentioned, the phrase translated as “natural body,” comes from the Greek words, σῶμα ψυχικόν, which literally means “soulish body.” Now, to a pagan Greek humanist, the meaning of this phrase would be similar to what we would call a “natural body.” But that is not what Paul, a Jewish disciple of Jesus, was referring to here. Paul used this phrase in an ecclesiastical way, which aligned with the

Page 1530

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

ancient biblical and Jewish way of defining our beings. For he contrasts the “soulish body” with the “spiritual body” (σῶμα πνευματικόν). So here Paul distinguished between the soul and the spirit in much the same way that the Jewish author of the letter to the Hebrews did when he wrote: “The word of God is ... piercing to the division of soul and of spirit” (Heb. 4:12, ESV). Consequently, if the soul and spirit can be divided, they cannot be the same thing, and the words “soul” and “spirit” cannot logically be synonyms, as so many Platonic false churches seem to think. If God’s Word can divide the soul from the spirit, it is because an elect spirit will agree with the teachings of God in the Scriptures, but the mind of flesh will oppose those teachings. Both minds form conflicting thoughts inside the chamber of the soul. But the mind of flesh can never leave the chamber of the soul, not without killing itself and its entire body. Thus, if the mind of flesh is stubborn, it will fight very hard to overcome the will of the spirit and it will win. Then a silenced spirit may almost entirely withdraw into the chamber of the heart. And the heart is also made entirely of spiritual substances, like the soul. But the mind of flesh cannot enter the heart, because the heart is not an interface with the flesh, like the soul is. Thus, a spirit can find sanctuary in the heart, outside the soul, divided from the soul.

So, on earth, we have a “soulish body,” where the mind of flesh can dominate the whole of the soul, and even “take captive” the spirit, by causing the spirit to withdraw into the heart as though the heart is its prison. If our spirits do not rightly manage our flesh, by granting our flesh some modest and lawful appeasements, the flesh will rebel and force the spirit out, even to the point where our spirits must hide in our hearts and will not dare to utter their own opinions. And this is why all humanistic teachings, which focus entirely on either punishing or appeasing the flesh, but never on rightly managing the flesh for God’s purposes, are so evil. For we will then walk entirely according to the flesh, in dark and empty lives without love and find no meaning for our existence. Yet, even if the elect do rightly manage our unruly and amoral flesh, which is a gift of God and the temple of our spirits, there will still be conflicts between our minds of flesh and the minds of our spirits in the chambers of our souls, especially when spiritual moral decisions must be made, when the words of God demand labor and sacrifices from our bodies of flesh. But a “spiritual body,” a body made of spiritual substances, is different. For a spiritual body never opposes the teachings of God’s Word, because every part of it aligns with God’s will. So an elect spirit will be free to think whatever it desires, and can delve deeply into God’s Word, then repent into that truth whenever it chooses to.

Paul clearly portrays the “soulish body” as vastly inferior, since it is perishable, dishonorable and weak. Only the eternal “spiritual body” in heaven is imperishable, glorious (worthy of God’s good opinion) and powerful. But even now, while living in limiting flesh on earth, elect spirits are able to know and cherish some truths of God. Although an elect spirit is encased by the spiritual chamber of the heart, and the heart has no spiritual body to directly communicate with other spirits, the spirit can directly communicate with God’s Holy Spirit. And God’s Spirit actively seeks to communicate with elect spirits, strives to teach and train those elect spirits, every day and all day. Then, even while an elect spirit is limited to the heart’s confines in a body of flesh, it can also enter the chamber of the soul, where it can manage its body of flesh, and use its flesh to communicate with other bodies of flesh, even the spirits in those bodies, even the spirits of plants and animals. Our spirits can use our flesh to make our lives on earth loving, just and useful to God, beneficial to all His earthly kingdom.

Still, an amoral mind of flesh is merely a piece of a body of flesh, and the only part which a spirit can sometimes manage within the chamber of one’s soul, although the mind of flesh can never be completely controlled by the mind of the spirit. And these soulish bodies of flesh, with their minds of flesh, are simply temporary instruments made of material matter, which will die and will be entirely “burned” into a virtual nothing after all spirits receive spiritual bodies. In the end, all the perceptions

 

Page 1531

Last Days Timeline

 

of physical existence will be removed from all spirits, just before the judgement day at the gates of heaven. So, in this present life on earth, a spirit can sometimes use its flesh for either beautiful or ugly purposes, for good or for evil, or for whatever is between. And the memories of our spirits will never forget the perceptions of our flesh made during life on earth, although our flesh will no longer exist. But the ugly and evil memories of elect spirits on the judgment day will burden those spirits, while beautiful and good memories will be treasures to those spirits. Therefore, it is critical for our spirits to gain some control and rightly manage our minds of flesh now, in the chambers of our souls.

Our flesh often impulsively seeks pleasure or its own survival in very ugly and evil ways during this life on earth. Yet we are forced to use our flesh to express most of what comes from our spirits, such as our love or our hate for others. We must even use our flesh to read God’s Word. First the eyes and mind of flesh must see, process and interpret the symbols written in ink on physical paper, the words revealing the thoughts of God’s Spirit, recorded in an earthly language of the flesh. Then the flesh will automatically pass on those concepts, represented by those inked symbols, to the spirit in the chamber of the soul, where one’s minds of flesh and spirit communicate with one another. For the spirit can read whatever the mind of flesh thinks or receives from its senses. So the flesh cannot hide anything from the spirit. But the flesh remains an unruly and troublesome instrument, very difficult to manage or control. So, for all elect spirits, receiving their spiritual bodies will be a very welcome gift, because those spiritual bodies will never interfere with their spirits’ desires, nor fail to fully and accurately express their spirits’ love, without any other spirits misinterpreting any of their intentions.

The spirit uses the soul to examine all that enters the mind of flesh. So, when the mind of flesh reads God’s Word, that flesh cannot possibly truly understand or agree with the spiritual concepts it reads. At most, the flesh can only superstitiously and anxiously perform the symbolic physical rituals and other physical tasks commanded in God’s Word, to save itself from the physical consequences of sin, because the spirit will remind the flesh that it will suffer pain and death if it lies and sins. But a mind of flesh never actually comprehends the spiritual truths illustrated by the symbolic physical rituals, nor how those commands of God fulfill the spiritual principles of wise, just, equitable love. Only the mind of an elect spirit can learn, understand and agree with the real spiritual truths read by the flesh.

When we receive spiritual bodies, all our words and deeds will be determined solely by decisions made by the minds of our spirits. But, while dwelling in soulish bodies, in flesh on earth, our words and actions are all determined by decisions made in our souls, after our minds of flesh and minds of our spirits have considered all the information each possesses and all the desires of both minds. Yet, within our souls, the mind of flesh is able to ignore or entirely suppresses the responses of the spirit, whenever the strong desires of the flesh do not want to submit to the desires of the spirit. And the mind of flesh directly controls every action or reaction of the entire body. So an elect spirit cannot always make the flesh do what it wants, nor prevent the flesh from doing what it forbids. Although the mind of flesh is far too weak to prevent the mind of the spirit from perceiving all that is inside it, nor stop an elect spirit from condemning its bad thoughts or deeds, the flesh can still ignore the spirit, then say or do whatever it desires. An elect spirit may forever nag that mind of flesh about all the ugly and evil things it chose to do, and eventually cause repentance. But, if the flesh ignores and suppresses an elect spirit too much and too long, the spirit eventually stops even trying to speak in the soul, and merely goes to “sleep” in the heart. And this is what most of the elect spirits have done throughout history. So this is why we need a true revival, where our God Jesus wake up elect spirits.

So an awakened elect spirit is able to hear the Holy Spirit of the Creator God, and His Holy Spirit is always ready and willing to explain and expound on all that He reveals in His creations and in His Word. God must teach our infantile spirits one step at a time, by first teaching us simple truths, then

Page 1532

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

gradually build up our comprehension of the more complex concepts upon them. But God’s Spirit will spend the time to do this for each and every elect soul. For God exists outside of His creations of time and space, and can enter time and space whenever He chooses. So God possesses an infinite amount of time to spend with every elect spirit in every body and in every place. Thus, God is able to teach and train elect spirits very well for their salvation, if elect spirits are willing to listen to Him.

But an elect spirit can only be exposed to God’s Word through the flesh. And the flesh can be denied access to God’s Word, or simply refuse to read it. Of course, it is impossible to prevent the elect from being exposed to God’s spiritual and physical creations, not while they exist anywhere in this material universe. And those creations also reveal God’s truths. So they too can be used by God to teach and train the elect for their salvation. From His creations, the elect can learn what is good and most of God’s attributes, as well as what is evil and condemned by God, almost everything written in God’s Word. However, if God allows it, the spirits of Satan and his human offspring can easily train the minds of flesh in the elect to ignore, distort or oppose the truths and realities revealed in God’s spiritual and physical creations. Or non-elect spirits can cause the flesh of the elect to irrationally fear what God reveals in His creations. Thus, due to the weakness of their flesh, most elect spirits remain ignorant, lethargic, asleep and sinful, almost indistinguishable from the loveless non-elect.

Yet no created entity can ever completely kill the spirits of life in the elect. So, even if an elect spirit is almost entirely asleep, it will still possess at least a little love for some spirits and a little desire for spiritual and moral truths, since love is an inherent and innate compulsion of all elect spirits, and love is built on those kinds of truths. Even the sleeping elect who seem worse than most non-elect occasionally grunt out a protest against some lies and sins. Furthermore, their inner consciences, the nagging of their elect spirits, never stops plaguing them. But the non-elect have no inner conscience.

Therefore, even the sleeping elect will repent into the truth and build love upon that truth after they receive spiritual bodies, when they no longer need to deal with a mind of flesh which resists truths and realities. In the meantime, we pray for and strive to reason with the sleeping elect, when we find them. We ask God to wake their elect spirits, so they might accept more of God’s spiritual truths and face more realities, so they can then grow a just and God-like love in their spirits. And, because we cannot distinguish between the elect and the non-elect, unless God grants us the supernatural gift of discernment, we try to maintain a just, equitable system of government and judgment which benefits everyone. And we can only do all this by keeping our own spirits awake and focused on Jesus, so our spirits might continuously seek the wise counsel of Jesus’ Holy Spirit in all matters of life and faith.

In other words, the soulish bodies of the elect on earth can become more like their spiritual bodies will be in heaven; that is, if Jesus awakens their spirits and if the elect allow their spirits to maintain their focus on Him, if their spirits remain willing to hear His counsel and learn from Him. The more Jesus awakens, teaches and trains elect spirits, the more those elect can do God’s will on earth, just as His will is done in heaven. The elect increasingly think and act like they will in heaven, as the Holy Spirit of Jesus causes their spirits to know and rightly apply His will and His Law. The elect begin to build up the equitable, just, loving kingdom of God on earth, conforming it to the kingdom of heaven. The elect begin the process of being transformed or transfigured from their earthly soulish bodies, with minds of flesh, into their heavenly spiritual bodies, with cooperating minds made of spiritual elements, while dwelling on earth, as their spirits heed the counsel of Jesus’ Holy Spirit. So the rapture will complete that process, but Jesus wants us to begin that process while we are on earth.

In the spiritual realm, all brains and bodies will be made entirely of spiritual substances, and all those brains and bodies will function in complete harmony with the eternal spirits that now dwell in

 

Page 1533

our hearts on earth. Of course, we will still have hearts and souls after we are granted our spiritual bodies, because our hearts are simply the containers of our spirits, and are already made of spiritual substances. Then we will still have souls to serve an interface between the minds of our spirits and the minds of our spiritual bodies in heaven too, since our souls are also made of eternal spiritual substances, although our souls now serve as interfaces between the minds of our spirits and the minds of our flesh. But, even while we live in flesh on earth, the power of Jesus can make our minds and bodies of flesh more cooperative and harmonious with the minds of our elect spirits, as He is teaching and training our elect spirits. For His whole purpose of creating this earth was to prepare us for our lives in heaven, to teach and train us until we become more like Him, to become more like we will be in our spiritual bodies in heaven. Thus, our minds of flesh do become more like the minds in our spiritual bodies in heaven, as Jesus is saving us, by writing His Law in our hearts and minds.

Yes, our minds of flesh often deteriorate and will eventually die. But they also learn to submit to the beneficial wisdom that our God Jesus teaches to the minds of our spirits, after He awakens and begins the works of salvation in our spirits. Then, as soon as the minds of elect spirits decide to do anything according to His will, the command of that elect spirit’s mind to the mind of flesh will be obeyed, as much as the flesh is able. And this is why I have seen an elect man with very advanced dementia, with a very deteriorated brain of flesh, pray lucidly from his spirit, although he could seldom form a complete sentence otherwise. Just as the mind of the spiritual body in heaven will never resist a command from the mind of the spirit, the mind of flesh also begins to submit to the spirit. So we will begin to do God’s will on earth as His will is done in heaven at all times. Then our spirits will fully know God’s will by the time we have been perfected and completed on the last day.

So, if our spirits become willing to submit to the works of Jesus’ Holy Spirit, His power will produce far fewer conflicts between our flesh and our spirits in our souls. Some elect spirits will be so bright that they will not even feel the petty worries and anxieties of their own flesh in their souls, and pray for Jesus to provide things for their flesh only for sakes of others who need the works of their flesh, or for their loved ones who worry about their flesh. For the manager of all their decision making in their souls will be the minds of their spirits, as their spirits submit to Jesus. And Jesus is a very wise Teacher. Therefore, He never forces us to learn anything. Rather, He encourages our spirits to learn for their own good, and through their own desires with zeal. Yes, He might discipline the flesh when it harms others through lies and sins, and Jesus will forcibly discourage evil. But He also patiently waits until our elect spirits are willing to learn before He even begins to teach and train those spirits.

After Jesus awakens our spirits, we see how we can build true love upon the truths and wisdom that He offers to teach us. So our spirits become increasingly willing to submit to Him, as His disciples. For our elect spirits possess an inherent desire for truth and love. Our spirits long to receive our spiritual bodies in heaven, so we will never have to worry about things of the flesh ever again. And, while on earth, our elect spirits also long to get rid of things like oppression through Satan’s vile invention of money, with all its demonic threats to unjustly cast innocent souls into homelessness and starvation, as well as all religious or racial persecutions and artificial class systems in that devil’s world order. Even in temporary bodies of flesh on earth, our spirits strive to build heaven on earth.

In Jesus, our souls are no longer dark and anxious war zones, where our minds of flesh win most of the internal battles and function through fears and lusts, in opposition to the minds of our confused and suppressed spirits. In Jesus, we walk according to the spirit and not according to the flesh. We walk in the kingdom of God He builds for us on earth, no matter how small it may be now, before the great revival and before His return. And Paul also declared: “I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God” (I Cor. 15:50). Those who live by the mind of flesh cannot

Page 1534

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

inherit either His kingdom on earth or His kingdom in heaven. For the essence of both kingdoms is love built on His spiritual principles, on His truths. And only our spirits can actually even begin to truly understand those truths, then build love upon them. Both of His kingdoms are entirely spiritual.

But here (in I Cor. 15:50), the “kingdom of God” primarily refers to heaven, since he also added this clause behind it: “nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.” Still, this can even apply to the kingdom of God on earth, since Jesus only gathers those with imperishable elect spirits into it. Still, in context, Paul was saying that our earthly bodies of flesh and blood cannot enter into the spiritual realm of heaven. In the language of a first century man, he was saying that the material space-time continuum is not only separate and distinct from heaven’s spiritual space-time continuum, but also that material matter is far weaker than spiritual matter, since flesh and blood will basically vaporize and vanish as it passes into the far more real, dense and solid spiritual realm. So Jesus will resurrect us in bodies of flesh on earth but, before we enter the eternal spiritual realm, He will transform our flesh into spiritual bodies, as we are being lifted up into heaven. And some of those spiritual bodies may be very skinny and emaciated, judging by the condition of their spirits while they live on earth.

Paul also tells us when we will receive our spiritual bodies: “we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed” (I Cor. 15:51-52, ESV). Of course, if “we shall all be changed” after the resurrection, then we will be resurrected in the flesh before we are changed into our spiritual bodies. And all this will occur at the end of the seventh trumpet's era, after Jesus rules on earth for a millennium, as we are being raptured up to the gates of heaven for the judgment day, and just before He destroys the material universe. Also, it seems that our spiritual bodies already exist in heaven, since John saw himself among the 24 elders there, when he was taken into heaven. Thus, this change from material into spiritual bodies will likely be simply a restoration of our ability to perceive spiritual existence, rather than material existence alone, as we are raptured up to heaven.

This “last trumpet” may refer to the seventh trumpet, since this event occurs at the end of the seventh trumpet’s era. However, there might be another trumpet that some other angel sounds at the time of the second resurrection. I have not found any other Scripture which states whether or not another trumpet will sound on the same day as the second resurrection. Still, what Paul is telling us is that God will let us know when He is about to rapture and transform us. It will not occur without the sound of a loud trumpet which provides us with an advance warning. And the seventh trumpet does provide that for us, although more than a thousand years ahead of the event. Either way, whether it is the seventh trumpet or some other trumpet, we will know when the rapture and judgment will occur.

By the way, these verses clearly do not refer to the first resurrection, when only some elect spirits will return with Jesus in bodies of flesh, then live on earth with Him during the millennium. Here Paul indicates that the dead in Christ will rise from the dead and “we shall all be changed” from “perishable” into “imperishable” bodies, into “spiritual bodies,” then live in heaven forever. Of course, both the first and second resurrections will occur during the time of the seventh trumpet, the first at the beginning of the millennium and the second after it ends. But the resurrection (in I Cor. 15:52) is clearly the second resurrection before the judgment day, as described by John (see Rev. 20:5,13). This verse (v. 52) is a very condensed summary of the events at the end of the earth. Also, notice how Paul’s words, which God commanded his spirit to write, declares that both the dead and the living will be “changed,” which can only occur in the second resurrection. So all human beings who ever lived on earth will first be raised in bodies of flesh on earth. Then, as all are raptured, their earthly bodies will be instantly “changed” into eternal spiritual bodies, “in the twinkling of an eye.”

Since this can only refer to the second resurrection, the pretribulation rapture doctrines of various dispensationalist churches, which are partially based on these Scriptures (in I Cor. 15), are definitely wrong. For there is only one rapture up to heaven, and it occurs at the end of the world, when all humans who ever lived shall be raptured up to heaven’s gates for judgment. After the millennium, God will resurrect all humans from all of history back to life on earth. He will even resurrect the non-elect, possibly so the elect might see them for what they are and understand how those loveless ones, who threatened and frightened them in the past, are actually nothing, mere dupes deceived by Satan’s lies and delusions, whose power is forever lost. Then the elect will find a sort of closure, a realization that those non-elect never loved them, and are not able to love, and should be forgotten.

Now the Greek verb δεῖ means “it is necessary,” and Paul used it in the sentence: δεῖ γὰρ τὸ φθαρτὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσασθαι ἀφθαρσίαν καὶ τὸ θνητὸν τοῦτο ἐνδύσασθαι ἀθανασίαν (I Cor. 15:52, “After all, it is necessary for this perishable [body] to have put on the imperishable [body] and this mortality to have put on immortality.”) Literally all mortal life will soon live eternally in the spiritual realm. For, as Paul previously declared, flesh and blood cannot enter the spiritual realm. Truly “it is necessary” that literally all of us will have put on imperishable and immortal spiritual bodies before we go to our judgment at heaven’s gates. Yes, many have lived loveless lives for their flesh alone and hope they will entirely cease to exist after death. But that is not an option. After all, God created every spirit to be an eternal entity and every spirit actually already has a spiritual body waiting for it in the spiritual space-time continuum, in a time which is not actually the “future.” So literally all humans possess immortality. Then all will go to their judgment in those spiritual bodies, whether they want to go or not. Not one will escape immortality. Then, after the judgement, each will eternally dwell in either the bright regions of the spiritual realm called heaven, or in its dark empty portion called hell.

First our bodies of flesh must be exchanged for bodies made of a spiritual substance, before we can enter heaven. This was God’s plan from the very beginning, when He placed the perceptions of this very real earthly life in the minds of our spirits, when He caused our spirits to experience a flow of time in a life of material existence where all the past and all the future exists at the same time. Not one living entity on earth was created in a way where it could possibly cease to exist, where its spirit of life could vanish into nothing like material space, energy, matter and time. After every living plant, animal or human dies, it will wake in its spiritual body existing in the spiritual realm. Every living creation possesses a spirit of life, and spirits are not like the perceptions of inanimate things in the material universe, such as our bodies of flesh. All spirits of life are eternal, since all spirits are actually existing in the eternal spiritual realm, even now, while we live on earth. But not all spirits were created with a discernment between good and evil. Only humans possess this attribute. Thus, only humans are culpable for words and deeds that oppose God’s will, and only humans are judged.

Literally all spirits were created for an eternal existence, so all will shed their temporary temples of earthly flesh. But not all human spirits will spend eternity with Jesus in heaven. If a spirit intends to willfully oppose God’s will through ulterior motives, such as through a denial of God’s sovereignty in a lust to become one’s own god, that spirit has sinned. And all sins cause harm. So God must set that spirit apart and put it in a separate place, to keep His good creations safe from the hurtful ways practiced by that sinful spirit. Of course, if that spirit sins through ignorance, coercion or in some other unintentional way, God will grant it time and many opportunities to repent away from sin, and will teach that spirit His right, just, equitable and loving ways. And, if a spirit repents into the truth, God will restore His relationship with it and will not separate it from His other good creations. But, if that spirit does not repent, God will cast that spirit out into a place where it can do no more harm.

To make our perceptions of life in our bodies of flesh resemble life in the spiritual realm, God causes all our earthly perceptions to be interactive. That is, God makes our perceptions of material existence able to affect or be affected by material perceptions that we share with other spirits. Our spirits in our flesh are able to express love or hate, and able to do good or evil, albeit according to His predestined plan. Thus, if a spirit sins on earth, God can simply separate an unrepentant sinner from other human spirits on earth, and from His other material creations, by removing that spirit’s perceptions, which we perceive as the death of that spirit’s flesh. And God does prematurely kill the wicked at appointed times. However, since all human spirits actually dwell in the eternal spiritual realm, a final judgment will occur in that spiritual realm. At heaven’s gates, human spirits will see all realities. So they will either embrace those realities and repent, or they will prefer delusions and refuse to repent. Our God Jesus will judge each spirit by its works, by its desires for good or evil while living on earth. Then a real full life will begin for those who repent, like an abundant life on earth, but far more real, full and spiritually gratifying. But the stubbornly unrepentant will begin their real death, a separation from all of God’s good creations, set apart in a dark, empty prison where they can never again harm anything.

Literally all elect human spirits will go to heaven, together with all the spirits of all the other living creations on the earth. For all those other spirits of life on earth are elect spirits too. And, at the very moment God created material perceptions, He predestined all elect spirits for life in heaven. For He gave all elect spirits an ability to love. Therefore, although He predestined all humans to experience sin, all elect human spirits can repent out of sin and into the foundation of love, into God’s truths and realities. No spirits of life will go to hell, except demonic spirits and the spirits of their non-elect human offspring, since only those spirits were created without the attribute of love. And there will be a judgment day after the second resurrection, where that resurrection and judgment will expose the utter lack of love in all the non-elect spirits, while also completing and perfecting love in the elect.

Nevertheless, our infantile elect human spirits will not be allowed into heaven’s non-linear time, a sort of timeless time compared to earth’s linear flow of time, until those spirits are thoroughly taught and trained into maturity, into the very image of Jesus, although each one will be a different aspect or “version” of Jesus. First all elect human spirits will be purged of all their imperfections, of all lies and delusions, and all must repent into the truth that their Judge will teach. Then they will begin to grow more radiant, with a light spectrum that the flesh is not able to perceive, as Jesus mentors them in the ways and works of God, so they can serve the life in heaven together with Him for all eternity.

Paul ended this teaching about the resurrection of the dead into eternal life by declaring: “… then shall come to pass the saying that is written: ‘Death is swallowed up in victory.’ ‘O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?’ The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain” (I Cor. 15:54-58, ESV). The death of flesh can never really be any kind of victory for either demons or humans, no matter how much some might rejoice in it. For every death of every body of flesh has been predestined, and all material perceptions will also end at an appointed time. Then comes the second resurrection and the judgment, with real life or real death following them. So the death of the flesh cannot even sting our spirits with any kind of harm or pain, since we shall rise into an abundant life of utterly painless joy after we shed these temporary mortal perceptions, while non-elect murderers will fall into the great and eternal defeat of the second death.

One reason we fear death is because we have amoral and loveless minds of flesh which sin. And our flesh soon learns that nature or man will discipline it for its sins, by causing troubles, pains or even death for it. The flesh also knows it will forever cease to exist after it dies. And an emotional fear of

Page 1537

Last Days Timeline

 

death in our minds of flesh can grow very strong, irrational and superstitious. But awakened spirits, both elect and non-elect spirits, can manage that fear in the mind of flesh, although the elect manage the flesh through a grounding in realities and the non-elect through delusions and lies. Yet sleeping spirits continuously fear death because they walk only according to their flesh. And, if a sleeping spirit is also condones its sins of the flesh, that one’s whole soul fears death, because even sleeping spirits know about God’s wrath and the judgment they will inevitably face. Consequently, the loving elect seldom fear death as much as the non-elect, but the flesh of all living creatures always will fear death. At the same time, flesh does not naturally fear God, only the permanent end of its existence.

So the spirits of the awakened elect, after the Holy Spirit of Jesus has taught them a few spiritual realities, become more immune to the “sting” of death, since their spirits no longer fear death and can better manage the fears of their flesh. The more mature disciples of Jesus even look forward to the time when they can finally rid themselves of flesh and serve God in their stronger spiritual bodies, although they also want to complete their works on earth too. And all the awakened elect also know that, through the sacrifice of His flesh on the cross, our God Jesus gave them a “victory” over the second death in hell. So they do not fear the judgment day, but eagerly long to see that day.

For “the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law.” God’s Law was written for our flesh to obey, and causes our flesh to fear God more. For the mind of flesh find it very easy to blindly ignore the figurative and complex truths written in God’s spiritual and natural creations. But it is not so easy to ignore the plain statements in God’s Law. And notice how God wrote His Old Covenant Law for the flesh and not for the spirit. The conditional Law of God does contain spiritual teachings and truths, but most often employs negative commands which are meant only for the mind of flesh. The Law seldom reasons with or teaches the spirit. God’s Old Covenant Law gave our minds of flesh archetypal commands like “you shall not murder.” Then His Law added many other entirely negative commands to those archetypal commands, laws like, “You shall not hate your brother in your heart.”

Those negative commands did nothing for our spirits, but only caused our minds of flesh to fear God more. For, whenever a mind of flesh saw how it wanted to murder through hate, it knew this was sin and grew more afraid of God. But the flesh was powerless to stop its hatred, and eventually directly or indirectly murdered a sibling in the family of humankind. And the flesh panicked in its guilt and fear, so the flesh silenced the protests of its elect spirit. Then the mind of flesh sought every kind of lie and delusion, every false interpretation of God’s Law it could find, in order to justify its sin. And those deliberate lies about God’s Law slandered God’s name, so the flesh committed an even greater sin than hate and murder, since those lies fed more hatred which caused even more murders. Thus, God’s Law became “the power of sin” for the flesh, simply because the Law roused guilt and fear in the flesh. Yet Jesus’ Holy Spirit counsels, teaches and trains elect spirits to fulfill the negative laws of God in positive ways. For God sends His Spirit to teach our spirits how to truly love our equally sinful neighbors and keep them safe, secure and alive, how to fulfill the opposite of hate and murder.

Through God’s highly conditional Old Covenant Law, the mind of flesh fears God’s punishment whenever it sins. And both elect and non-elect human spirits know that deliberate sinfulness must be separated from the utterly holy God and His kingdom, set apart from God’s light and all the good God created, which is the very definition of death. So all spirits know that the wage of sin is death, even a second death in hell. Of course, non-elect spirits might even encourage sins of the flesh, since they have love, no repentance and no hope for life after death. But elect spirits hate loveless sins, and all sins are loveless. So, whenever an elect spirit meets with the mind of flesh in the chamber of the soul, it rebukes the sins of the flesh, which makes the fear of the flesh even worse. And that is when

the flesh panics and takes the spirit captive, to silence it. Then that amoral, loveless flesh seeks lies to justify its sins, since it can do nothing to fulfill God’s spiritual Law, nor stop itself from sinning.

Every elect spirit also knows that God’s primary goal is to teach and train it to become truly just, equitable and loving, to become like Him. So the elect spirit despairs when its flesh sins and cannot stop sinning, knowing that God will hand its flesh over to trouble, pain and even death, if necessary, to spare other souls in His earthly kingdom from the harm caused by its sins. A spirit even knows that those sins will also earn it the second death in hell. So the spirit looses all hope and lets its mind of flesh take complete control of its life. For that spirit knows it is too weak to stop its flesh from abusing God’s temporary creations on earth, and too ignorant to repent into the truths it cannot even understand, into the right, just and loving ways of God which it desires but is not able to fulfill. That elect spirit knows that, if went to heaven in its current condition, it would sin against God’s good creations there too, just like it does on earth. Therefore, God would never allow it to enter heaven.

This is why God’s New Covenant salvation in the Messiah Jesus is such good news. Yes, God will never allow a loveless, unrepentant, evil spirit into heaven. God’s own mercy and love for His good living creations forces Him to cast those with loveless and evil souls into hell, so His good living creations will not be abused by those evil ones. But, although His elect children are also sinners who commit even worse offenses than hating and murdering the innocent, since even the elect lie about His Law and slander His name to promote more hatred and murdering, He can redeem all the elect. And God will redeem literally all the elect. For God created all their spirits with an inherent and innate ability to truly love in an unconditional and just way, in the same way He Himself loves. And that kind of love is the core attribute of God. The only reason God created all things and all life was so that He could serve His living creations through His love. And He loves His elect children above all, with a strong desire for His children to share in His joyful life of serving and loving. So God will never let anyone or anything steal His elect children from Him, but will save every last one of them.

Through His love for His elect children, God caused them to dwell in the material world where they could experience both good and evil, so they could learn the difference between His loving will and what is not His loving will. And He did this so to teach them to love His loving ways more and hate anything which deviated from His loving ways. Therefore, because the non-elect deceived and persecuted His elect, God came and lived among them, suffering the same evils they suffered, even died in the flesh through the ruthless sins of the non-elect. And, as His utterly sinless flesh died, so too did the flesh of all His elect who had been written in His book. Literally all the elect He named in that Book from the beginning of time vicariously partook in His death on the cross, as the final payment for all their unintentional and repented sins. And, when the elect are raptured up to heaven’s gates and have received their spiritual bodies, literally all will be able to learn all truth and repent from all their sins, because His biblical kind of judgment will teach them those truths. So literally all the elect will be completed and perfected on that last day, made entirely fit for eternal life in heaven.

As for this sin-prone earthly flesh of the elect, it will must cease to exist forever, along with all the homes and lands they loved on earth. For all on earth was made to be a dim and shadowy facsimile of the far better and more solid realities in heaven. If this flesh was able to cease all sin and purge itself from all sinful inclinations, God would have created it to be eternal. Or, rather, God would have never created our bodies of flesh and the temporary earth in the first place, but would have born our spirits in heaven. If we were able to live out our lives without sinning, God would have created us whole in heaven with eternal and mature spiritual bodies, not in temporary flesh on a temporary earth. We would have been made in the same way He created the elect angels in heaven. But God chose to put the infantile spirits of His elect children, His most beloved creations, in bodies of

Page 1539

Last Days Timeline

 

temporary, sin-prone, flesh that must die and vanish with the earth when it “burns.” For God chose to teach and train His elect children in an environment where they would learn His inner attributes, even what is not in His heart, through experiences which illustrated these matters in ways they would never forget. And, since this process is so slow and requires so much of His counsel, His children will grow closer to Him than the angels, especially on the long last day at heaven’s gates.

God did not create mature spirits in His children, but weak, immature spirits, and He did this for a very good reason. The Father of our infantile elect spirits wanted to teach and train us in the same way that loving parents raise their children, in a way where they develop love for one another. God created His beloved children as infantile spirits in temporary bodies so we will learn to cherish, trust, respect and depend upon Him as our dear Father, to ultimately love Him and His ways much more than we love all others, and to love His ways more than all other ways. Through our limiting flesh, our infantile spirits learn the humility of love, how to empathize with other living beings, especially our siblings in the family of our Father. For we will serve all of heaven’s multitudes of creatures in its infinite lands together with our humble Father and oldest Brother in heaven. And the minds of our spirits do not fear death nearly so much after our spirits get to know our real Father through our oldest Brother, the real Jesus. Rather, elect spirits begin to eagerly desire their eternal spiritual bodies and the death of their flesh, when they can go home and rest from our earthly toils and its sufferings.

After our spirits begin to see, hear and talk with the real God, when our whole beings wake to a cognizance of spiritual entities and recognize the qualities of God-like love in the spirits of all life, those perceptions fill our hearts with a longing for those greater spiritual realities. Then we want to build up God’s spiritual kingdom on this earth. And, although we grow in this zeal to do these works on earth, we also realize that the death of our limiting bodies of flesh will be great gain, because we will then go home to heaven. So death loses its “sting” as our souls cast aside the fear of death. On the other hand, even the non-elect lose the fear of death when their loveless spirits awaken, but only because their spirits become more completely influenced by Satan, until their dark spiritual delusions overcome the fears of their flesh. Those ruthless, awakened non-elect spirits become obsessed with the darkness of selfish ambition and strive even harder to build up Satan’s world order, through that blindness of their whole beings, just so they can pretend to be gods. And the devil’s delusions allow no fear of death, but causes them to imagine all kinds of glory and pleasures for themselves in the afterlife, although their real home in hell holds only the empty darkness of their lies and delusions.

Now, all minds of flesh think in basically the same ways, in both the elect and non-elect. But the minds of human spirits differ greatly in the elect and non-elect, and those differences become even more pronounced as their infantile spirits awaken and mature. Therefore, as long as the spirits of the elect and the non-elect remain asleep and undeveloped, both will walk entirely according to their minds of flesh and remain almost indistinguishable from one another. But a spiritual or moral crisis will often reveal differences between the elect and the non-elect, especially among men. Even women, whose earthly ministry involves weaving together both the spiritual and physical fibers of earthly life into one fabric, will often reveal the attributes of their spirits during a crisis—although women in weak or evil spiritual environments tend to walk only according to their flesh whenever they are spiritually challenged, and adapt to spiritual opposition by focusing on matters of the flesh.

But all the minds of non-elect spirits think in almost the same way, since all are little carbon-copies of Satan. Thus, when non-elect are awakened, they are all obsessed with becoming gods. And this usually means they will want to gratify the lusts of their flesh whenever and however they desire, by becoming wealthy and powerful. So most awakened non-elect become greedy bullies striving for power, willing to lie and unjustly exploit others to get what they want, although a few wanna-be

Page 1540

gods vary from these standard practices. However, elect spirits were made in the image of the vast, multifaceted, intensely creative, infinitely wise God, where each individual was destined for a unique ministry with a different array of specializations. Therefore, the awakened elect can often easily identify the awakened non-elect, who all grow more like one another and more like Satan each day, but do not easily recognize other elect souls. For the elect are widely varied in their attributes, ministries and destinies. Thus, other elect souls sometimes cannot identify them because those other elect do not hold the same priorities and interests. And this is why the elect must now learn to seek those who love in the same way God loves, and not merely seek those who are most like themselves.

So, if the elect try to build God’s kingdom on earth by making spiritual bonds and covenants with the non-elect, they will fail miserably. Thus, we must learn to identify the non-elect and not work too closely with them, since the non-elect will always sabotage our good works. On the other hand, the elect must find and work together with all the various types of elect siblings in the family of God. For, if the many different kinds of elect do not unite into the one body of our God Jesus, the church will remain weak and easily led astray. If only one or two kinds of truly elect souls work together, their focus will remain too narrow and many aspects of their work will be left undone. There is only one way to truly become “steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain” (I Cor. 15:58, ESV). And that one way is to remember that Jesus is the only Head of every man, so all will allow Him to gather all the different kinds of elect together into His one body. Only then can every unique elect soul in His entire universal church find fulfilling joy in their works. For only through His ability to personally develop each individual’s own unique ministry, then coordinate and assign tasks, can the works of a true church become effective.

The non-elect can never truly comprehend the thoughts of the awakened elect, nor the truths of God, even after years of seeing and experiencing the effects of those loving lives and those truths. In fact, the non-elect even refuse to believe some obvious physical realities with their own eyes, when those realities contradict their cherished delusions and lies. Much spiritual and physical existence is kept “hidden” from the non-elect, especially the deeper spiritual truths of God, although all this remains accessible and in plain sight. The non-elect are blinded by their own spirits, by demonic spirits and by God Himself, because their spirits cannot love, and nothing but love can build life upon reality, including God’s immutable spiritual principles. Thus, only the elect, with spirits created able to love, ever choose to search for love and realities. Then God always grants His elect children what their spirits seek. But, since the non-elect never love the truth, God is always hands them over to their own delusions and lies, for the destruction of their flesh on earth, then for a second death in hell.

So only the elect can become spiritually “steadfast and immovable” enough to effectively do the works of our just and loving God Jesus, with good lasting results. For these kinds of works can only be done through the methods and motives which God approved from the beginning, based on accurate measurements by His certified instruments and constructed on a solid foundation of realty. And the many varied kinds of elect souls must do these works together, as a cooperating body, where each unique God-given attribute and spiritual gift is coordinated and appointed by Jesus, according to His wise design and just purpose. The elect cannot allow the non-elect to partake in these good and godly works either, or those non-elect will lead the weaker, more carnal and sleeping elect into all kinds of folly, effectively sabotaging those good works, even transforming them into evil works.

The elect can openly and accurately teach about God and His ways, describing the spirit and spiritual truths in great detail. But only other elect souls will benefit from this. Then some elect may learn very slowly, with many setbacks. Yet the non-elect learn absolutely nothing. And the same applies to the flesh of both the elect and non-elect. The mind of flesh can never “academically” learn anything

Page 1541

Last Days Timeline

 

about spiritual love, nor truly comprehend anything about God, spirits and eternal truths. So we must not teach about God and His created realities to minds of flesh, in same supposedly “efficient” ways practiced by Satan’s humanists. The non-elect live by their minds of flesh and teach only lies to other minds of flesh. But Jesus wants us to teach spirits, by sharing of knowledge and wisdom in real life or by answering questions from the hearts of the elect, when they face circumstances and situations in real life. For Jesus never created any educational “factories” for His disciples, where human gods lectured to silenced masses in daily brain-washing sessions. Rather, Jesus lived and worked with His disciples, then taught them in the ancient Jewish kind of interactive teaching times, where the men asked questions and the rabbis, like Jesus and His most mature disciples, answered those questions.

Slowly and surely, the elect must learn all about God, God’s loving ways, logic, reason, truth and all spiritual matters. And they must do this primarily through prayer, as they experience what God has written in His spiritual and physical creations, as well as by reading or listening to God’s Word. They must open the minds of their spirits to the counsel of Jesus’ Holy Spirit, so He will become every man’s Head Teacher and Chief Mentor. Then they must also honestly and candidly share what they have learned with others, as they do their daily works, as walk with others, and during the interactive teaching times in their local churches, asking and answering hard questions about God and life. And they must listen with the better minds of their elect spirits, not merely with the minds of their flesh.

Theology cannot be learned by mind of flesh, nor by those who walk according to the flesh. True theology cannot be memorized by minds of flesh, although memorizing some quotes from the Bible or wise words from humans can sometimes help the spirit a little at times. However, all real truth and wisdom from God ultimately must be directly taught or confirmed by God’s Holy Spirit in the minds of elect spirits by our God Jesus. We can use our flesh to read ink symbols on a Bible’s physical paper, or use our ears of flesh to hear God’s Word proclaimed by physical mouths. But the only profitable actions of our flesh can perform are to pass on all that its senses perceive to our awakened elect spirits in the chambers of our souls, and to obey our elect spirits in effectively expressing wise love built upon the truths our spirits learned from Jesus. For the flesh itself cannot comprehend love or any spiritual concepts. And our spirits must learn to monitor and manage our flesh, since many lies and sins can also enter the lives of the elect through their flesh. In the end, everything true and good in life revolves around the spirit, and the minds of our elect spirits are our most valuable minds.

To build abundant lives on earth, filled wise love and truly meaningful purposes, the elect need to focus on Jesus with the minds of their spirits, so His Holy Spirit can counsel, guide, correct, teach and train their spirits. As for all the physical religious rituals and lectures in churches and seminaries, which are all manipulations of the flesh through the flesh of human gods, they accomplish nothing good. In fact, they are mostly lies and sins. Of course, Jesus can even use those lies and sins to teach the elect how to recognize them and the face of Satan. Jesus can also show the elect how those lies and sins cause harm and death, so His elect will then hate those lies and sins. For we also need to realize how evil or errant motives and intentions nullify pure reasoning and cast a soul into the darkness of delusions, into a slavery which is impossible to escape without the teaching and power of our God Jesus. Then we will be able to prevent ourselves and others from falling into those traps.

The elect must understand that God’s written Law is merely a shadowy outline of the fulfilled and fulfilling spiritual law taught to our spirits by the Holy Spirit of our heavenly Father and our oldest Brother Jesus. But God’s written Law is “the power of sin” for those trying to obey it solely through their minds and bodies of flesh, while seeking rewards for their flesh. For every mind of flesh, in both the elect and non-elect, is ignorant, amoral and incapable of recognizing when its own words and deeds are sinful. The flesh will always twist and contort God’s words to conform to its own

Page 1542

Seventh Seal Prophecies

 

amoral desires, then use God’s Law to sin more than it would without it—principally by justifying its sins through its deliberate false interpretations of God’s Law. For the flesh knows nothing about God’s true spiritual intentions behind His written Law, since His intentions were for the spirits of His elect priests, so they might think and judge in the same way He does, to build up His just, equitable loving earthly kingdom. And, because the amoral mind of flesh is utterly incapable of knowing anything about true love built on a solid foundation of God’s wisdom and created truths, the flesh cannot possibly even begin to truly obey God’s written Law. Only an elect spirit taught by the Holy Spirit can begin to fulfill the spiritual intentions of God’s Law, and only partially while in its flesh.

Only an elect spirit is able to look God in the face and truly love Him. And God overlooks all the unintentional sins committed by His elect in ignorance or through coercion, then forgives them when they repent into the truth through their love for the victims of their sins. Their true repentance fully restores their loving and deep relationship with God, and also restores relationships with any of their victims who truly forgive them in the same way God does, especially when those victims see the sinner’s true fruits of repentance. But, when God’s written Law tells an elect person’s flesh that its words or deeds are sinful, the flesh very often rebels and grows angry, since it still wants to commit those sins and still wants to falsely justify itself. But God’s Spirit will convict an elect spirit of sin when that spirit hears God’s Law through its ears of flesh. God’s Spirit teaches the elect spirit to admit that the words and deeds done through its flesh were sins, and that elect spirit will also tell its mind of flesh that it sinned. But the flesh seldom ever truly repents into the truth Thus, the Holy Spirit’s right interpretation of God’s Law makes sins intentional for the flesh, when the flesh refuses to admit that it has sinned even after its sins are exposed and known to be sins. But the elect spirit that condemns those sins maintains the unintentional quality of those sins, or else causes deliberate sins to become unintentional through its repentance away from those sins and into the truth. Then the elect spirit can be justly forgiven and redeemed from sin, but the flesh will die for its intentional sins.

After hearing and understanding God’s Law through the counsel of Jesus’ Holy Spirit, an elect spirit will always try to stop the flesh from sinning. But the amoral and self-centered flesh is strong, and sins whenever the undeveloped inner conscience of a weak and immature elect spirit allows that flesh to get away with sins, for its pleasure or to survive. All the flesh can ever manage to do with God’s Law is hide its sins through hypocrisy. The flesh often lies to itself, and to others, even to its own spirit. The flesh is always saying, “Look at how good and innocent I am, and see how much my words and deeds have profited me, even though God calls them sins.” For even the flesh of the elect is incapable of loving the victims of its lies and sins, nor is it able to feed its own starving elect spirit which keeps it alive, nor will it hear God who created and maintains it. The flesh even denies the fact that it will soon die. Somehow, the stupid flesh thinks it will live forever and can continue to lie and sin without suffering any consequences, although reality always proves it wrong, throughout history.

All who walk only according the thoughts from their minds of flesh always become foolish sinners. For instance, God’s Law says, “Do not commit adultery,” or “Do not exploit or abuse other souls for mere sexual gratification.” Then God commands each human spirit to make a covenant of love with the spirit of one’s spouse, which only He can verify and ratify. But the flesh denies these beneficial and wise truths. The flesh says, “I harm no one by selfishly exploiting others.” Some have even claimed that it is not adultery to sexually abuse “slaves” or those of other races or cultures, since those liars do not consider those “kinds” of people to be real humans. Augustine did not consider his slave to be his wife for this reason, although God’s Law declared her to be his legitimate wife. We also see many religious people claim they have never committed adultery, just because they have never physically had sexual relations with anyone other than their spouse. But Jesus and His Holy

Spirit proclaimed that they have committed adultery, by intentionally looking at the flesh of others to arouse the lusts of their flesh. For their flesh cares nothing about real love or covenants of the spirit through real love. And very many souls live only according to thoughts from their minds of flesh.

Literally all human beings who ever lived, except Jesus, have coveted things or other people at various times, have lied to themselves and others, have made deceptive transactions or stolen in other ways, have intentionally lusted after the flesh of those who are not their legitimate spouses through covenants made by their spirits, and have murdered through either willful negligence or deliberate actions. So all have sinned and fallen short of the glory (good opinion) of God. By these sins, all have dishonored God, the Father of their spirits, as well as the parents of their flesh. Then the spirits of those claiming to worship God have seldom or never entered God’s true Sabbath rest, because they have been too busy laboring for their flesh through selfish ambitions and other lusts of their flesh. Those religious ones have also taught false doctrines and sinned in God’s name, which is the abuse of His name and slanders His good name. Then almost all religious souls have worshiped themselves, other humans, money, possessions and so on, allowing their spirits to esteem and serve those idols and false gods instead of the real God. And no religious people make all their decisions according to God’s desires and will, but have all raised up false gods far above the real God in the chambers of their souls. So the religious have proven to be far worse sinners than all of the others.

Consequently, every elect soul needs to learn from the Holy Spirit of Jesus, since all cause very real suffering and death through either sins of omission or commission, either through negligence or actively. But the elect in false monotheistic religions need to most diligently hear and heed Jesus, since they are the worst of all sinners. For they practice the demonic religion of humanism in the most evil and hypocritical ways, by claiming to worship God while actually worshiping human idols in hierarchical class systems that unjustly discriminate against most of their siblings, both in the family of humankind and in the family of God. The elect trapped in humanistic fake monotheistic religions fail to recognize and value real, just and God-like love in other elect spirits even more than the elect trapped in the secular sects of humanism. Those religious humanists learn to life entirely by their minds of flesh, so they will then edit and nullify God’s Law written in His creations and in His Book, transforming His truth into all kinds of lying traditions of men, so they can lie to themselves and to others more effectively. They are led by human god who seek to be applauded by other flesh when they proclaim, “Look at me! See how I obey God’s Law by my own great power and wisdom, through my own free will.” Yet those human gods lead their people into blasphemous lies and sins.

God granted proud, amoral, lustful and loveless flesh to His elect children in His temporary material creations to educate their spirits, so their spirits would experience the evils God placed beside them. He wanted His elect to recognize what is stupidly arrogant, what originates from exploitative amoral lusts, and what is utterly void of love, so they could see how destructive those things were and repent away from them. The elect were not granted bodies and mind of flesh so they could allow their flesh to rule their lives. Rather, elect spirits were mean to reject the loveless desires of the flesh, then learn from the holy and loving Spirit of their Father and oldest Brother to manage their lives in right and truly loving ways. Elect spirits must learn to rule over their thoughts in the chambers of their souls.

The flesh is so easily duped by demonic spirits and their non-elect human offspring, so easily caused to sin against God’s Law, to commit greater sins each day. Our parents, religious leaders and church members have led us into such harmful, stupid and sinful beliefs, customs and traditions that we now cringe as we look back at them, especially at what we supposedly did in God’s name. And our deep regrets will be even far more magnified on the judgment day, when our spiritual bodies enable us to see our folly with absolute clarity. When we were editing and nullifying God’s Word to make

ourselves outwardly appear righteous, we were actually making ourselves into our own gods with greater authority than the real Creator God, with a vanity that seems utterly absurd and incredibly ugly through hindsight. The flesh transformed us into ruthless, evil little idiots, though we thought we were the gods of God. We committed the same sin that Satan committed in the very beginning, the sin that leads to all other sins. We went from being ignorant to evil, becoming worse every day.

Because our spirits were afraid and confused, they hid in the chambers of our hearts, not daring to whisper a single protest against the crimes of our flesh. Nor did our spirits know enough to set aside the time to hear, heed and serve the real Holy Spirit of Jesus, but allowed our flesh to believe that its own emotions and imaginations were God’s Holy Spirit. So we broke the Sabbath laws, pursued selfish ambitions and pride seven days a week, every week, and never found any rest and fulfillment in our loving Lord Jesus. For even truly elect spirits that let their flesh do such loveless things cannot find any peace or approval from God, but increasingly empty, confused, irrational, cold and anxious when they live by the flesh alone. Thus, God’s written Law did indeed “sting” our lives and deaths in very painful ways, through its powerful condemnations of our sins which it exposed day after day.

The non-elect souls in today’s fake churches have no inner consciences, then teach the elect to sear their own, so they will no longer know nor care what is right or wrong, just or unjust. And, during the last century, many have even adopted the sect of humanism called fascism, the same kind which the demon-possessed beast will practice in the end times. These deluded psychopaths love to cite God’s Law, which they misinterpret and apply to their own cruel satisfaction. But their exploitative and thieving lies will never satisfy our just and loving God Jesus, who created that Law and now seeks to fulfill it in and through His true elect disciples. So Jesus will soon destroy those deluded hypocrites in great wrath. Those fakes may claim their ruthless and unjust lawlessness is God’s Law, as they kill and persecute their far more just and loving neighbors, but the real Jesus will cast the real Law of God down upon their guilty heads, condemning those liars to the eternal second death in hell.

If an elect spirit gathers up the courage to protest against the lies and crimes of Satan’s world order, the mind of flesh will protest against the spirit’s protests, and raise up a powerful internal conflict, with much confusion, in the soul. For the mind of flesh is perfectly content to continue the practices of twisting God's written Law in ways that justify slander, injustice and other sins. Meanwhile, every elect spirit bears an innate knowledge of God-like, just and equitable love. So every elect spirit soon realizes that using God's Law and Word to justify lies and sins is a self-serving abuse of God’s name. It feels ugly and even horrifying to them, since it is worse than any of the physical sins committed through the impulses of the flesh, worse than murder or adultery. They see the members of their fake churches heaping up greater and greater sins upon their lesser sins, as their carnal and self-indulgent interpretations of God's Law promotes their loveless, unjust words and deeds more each day. So that wicked abuse of God's Law, to feed their own arrogant egos and purses, becomes “the power of sin.”

As those fake churches grow worse, the elect will leave them. First all the loving elect will likely flee from the fake humanistic Protestant churches, into the true church, especially during the revival in the sixth seal’s era. So demonic spirits will kill all those churches, through bitter internal quarrels and the destroying consequences of their sins. But the mother of all those humanistic churches will remain steadfastly evil and deceptive, even able to delude some elect until the end times are almost completed. Yet the Holy Spirit of Jesus will eventually call all the elect out of that mother of all fake churches. So Satan and his beast will no longer have any use for her and will burn her alive, not long before Jesus returns. Then Jesus will crush the beast’s kingdom into dust and throw Satan into hell.

So, right now, in this era of the fifth seal, we need to abandon those fake humanistic churches to prepare true churches for the loving and just elect, so they might have somewhere to take shelter and comfort when the end times arrive. We need to heed Jesus, to let Him be the Head of every man, let Him awaken and gather His true elect into local churches. Jesus alone can build fellowships where all become His unique and equal disciples, equally loved and respected, where no human gods nor any hierarchical class systems are permitted. When each elect spirit’s faith in Jesus to teach and train one’s elect spirit about the true and fulfilled meaning of His Law occurs, that Law no longer bears any “power of sin,” only the power to make one more rational, just, equitable and loving each day.

Jesus alone bears the power to gradually write His whole and positive Law upon the minds of our spirits and develop spontaneous loving righteousness inside us. But, for that to happen, we must no longer place our faith in our minds of flesh and human gods, nor any other gods like money. To rightly interpret and apply God’s Law, our faith must rest in our God Jesus alone, where we allow the minds of our spirits to trust His Holy Spirit and His counsel alone. Then we will begin to grow more like our Father and oldest Brother in heaven. And the elect need to remember that God is not the Father of our flesh, but of our spirits—because God is a Spirit, not a temporary body of flesh that He created in His temporary material space-time continuum. Now let the elect begin to climb out of the trap of false religion based on the thoughts and feeling of the flesh, especially out of humanism.

When we begin to truly worship the real God, in a way where our spirits are trusting and relaxed in our internal relationship with Him, where our love for Him zealously guards His real truth in our hearts, although our flesh remains rebellious, we will start to make progress. If we no longer place faith in the intellect and emotions in our minds of flesh, nor in the minds of flesh belonging to other human beings, we will no longer be slaves or prisoners to delusions and lies. After some time of faith in the Holy Spirit of Jesus, our spirits also look forward to our eternal lives with eagerness, and stop dwelling on the past. For our spirits experience His humbling full forgiveness and atonement, which Jesus purchased on the cross, to entirely restore our relationship with Him and our Father. We begin to understand His full and unconditional forgiveness in our hearts, with certainty, realizing that we could never earn it through any of our own efforts by our slavishly corrupted and very limited flesh.

Consequently, we gain inner peace with God and His eternal creations through this forgiveness and atonement. We do not inwardly fear the death of our flesh nearly as much. His forgiveness even frees our minds of flesh from having to justify our own sinful desires of our flesh, so we can focus more upon the God-given desires of our spirits. And our flesh even realizes that the wisdom our spirits learn from Jesus produces good results, so our flesh more often heeds the counsel of our elect spirits, more often submits to our spirits as Jesus teaches our spirits learn more truth and wisdom each day.

With this freedom and lack of condemnation gained through Jesus, our minds of flesh begin to allow the minds of our spirits to manage them. And, when an elect spirit controls its flesh with better and wiser management practices, that spirit becomes far more effective in using its mind and body of flesh to wisely express love. As a result, even the mind of flesh itself learns to apply some effective wisdom of God, as the elect spirit counsels it according to the positively interpreted and fulfilled Law of God. Through Jesus’ Holy Spirit working in and upon our elect spirits, we no longer walk according to the mere shadow of God’s written law through the flesh, but begin to comprehend God’s loving and just intentions of His Law and rightly interpret it. We no longer conduct our lives according to way our weak and amoral minds of flesh interpret His written law through pride and for its own selfish purposes. Rather, we walk according to faith in Jesus, who is the living embodiment and illustration of God’s Law. Jesus is the fulfilled reality of God’s Law, in Himself and through His works for our spirits. Our God wrote the temporary shadowy outline of the written Law for the flesh

of His priesthood in the days of Moses, with its symbolic rituals and prohibitions for their flesh. But now He has come to restore our relationship with Him, so He can truly fulfill His whole Law in us.

When Jesus “finds” us, He awakens our infantile and sleeping elect spirits, then begins to teach and train our spirits to know and apply His truths. So our flesh begins to acknowledge the wisdom of His fulfilled law that it now finds in our hearts, all the effective principles learned by our elect spirits. Then our flesh becomes more willing to obey God’s Law, for its own good and for the good of all, even for the good of all God’s creations around it. In this way, Jesus begins to wisely and lovingly serve and manage the elect person’s life as our God. So He becomes our God and we become His people, just as He promised for His New Covenant salvation. And our spirits realize that, after death, after receiving our new “spiritual bodies” in heaven, Jesus will complete and perfect us, so we can freely do whatever we want in heaven, since we will only ever desire to do good after that last day. Death will have completely and entirely lost its “sting” and its power. This is our victory in Jesus.

Our victory over death and our dying flesh, through our God Jesus, is our salvation. And this victory always results in Him making us more “steadfast” and “immovable” in the fulfilling of His Law, better able to do the just and loving works of God through the knowledge and power He grants us. Only by these works of Jesus in us and through us, can the truly good works of our Lord and God be “always abounding” or overflowing from our lives, even while we dwell in these bodies of mortal flesh. Only through Jesus can we do useful and effective works for God through our spirits’ just, God-like love and build abundant lives for all, so that not all our labors on earth will be done in vain.

I Thessalonians 4:14-17 (ESV): “For, since we believe that Jesus died and rose, just so also

God, through Jesus, will bring with Him those having fallen asleep. For this we say to you, in

a word from the Lord, that we, those surviving until the end of the presence of the Lord,

certainly will not precede those having fallen asleep. Because the Lord Himself, in a cry, in

the sound of an archangel, and in a trumpeting of God, will descend from heaven . And the

dead in Christ will be lifted up first. After that, we, the living ones remaining here, will be
