Then Matthew was also completely aware of how Zechariah prophesied that this particular sum, 30
pieces of silver, would be used to purchase “a potter’s field.” But Matthew deliberately combined the two prophecies into one, attributing both prophecies to Jeremiah’s greater New Covenant prophecy.
Matthew seems to have combined these two prophecies in the same way Jesus often related one prophecy to another in His teachings about the Messiah, even after His resurrection (e.g., Luke 24:27). And the two prophecies belong together. Jeremiah prophesied before the Babylonian exile of Israel, and before Zechariah was born. Then Zechariah prophesied after the seventy-year Babylonian exile, when God began to fulfill Jeremiah’s prophecy of rebuilding the Jerusalem temple. So Zechariah’s prophecy extended Jeremiah’s prophecy. Therefore, Matthew merged them, declaring that Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Jeremiah, the prophecy which Zechariah completed. Both came true. Israel did evaluate Jesus, their Messiah, the body of God, to be worth a mere thirty pieces of silver, then used those same coins to purchase a potter’s field—incidentally, a field which Israel used for the burial of “strangers,” the ξένοις, the Gentiles, for those remaining outside the Old Covenant church of Israel, even for enemies whom God called to rebuke Israel. More importantly, when Jesus died on a cross, He ratified God’s New Covenant, to save His church of Israel. As Israel spent that silver, they unwittingly affirmed the covenant in Jeremiah’s prophecy, when God told Israel that He would rebuild and restore Israel through the Messiah’s New Covenant, which is why Jeremiah had to buy a field. The first phase of that covenant prophesied by Jeremiah and Zechariah was for Jesus, our God, to work salvation for all elect souls in Israel, past and future, and even break down the barrier between elect Jews and elect Gentiles, as signified by the purchase of a field to bury Gentiles. So now a new priesthood serves in God’s name with the old Israel, a New Covenant branch of Israel.
And Jeremiah’s prophecy warned Israel about God’s wrath too, which God would work against them through Babylon, due to all their lies and sins, for murdering children and other innocent souls, and for syncretizing the unjust demonic doctrines of pagan religions with God’s loving and just teachings in His Word. Thus, Matthew, when he wrote this Gospel less than 10 years before Rome destroyed Israel’s temple in AD 70, was also warning Israel about their impending destruction. Within a few years, God would work Israel’s second destruction of their temple and their land, through Rome.
And God’s Word defined Rome as the fourth generation of Babylon. What Matthew wrote here (27:9-10, in about AD 60), about how a wicked council of Israel bought a field with silver coins, he only mentioned Jeremiah’s name, since he wanted us to primarily associate this event with the utter destruction of Israel in Jeremiah’s day. For Israel committed the same sins of syncretizing pagan teachings and practises with the teachings and practises of God, but this time committed that sin with the fourth generation of Babylon, with humanistic of Rome. Now that sin would bring their utter Page 1791
destruction, but leave a remnant as always, to carry on God’s eternal church of Israel on earth. But now Israel would see the saving covenant God promised at the time of Jeremiah. Then Israel would also see that field they purchased returned to them, when God brought them back into their land during the end times, just before the Messiah’s glorious return to destroy Babylon for the final time.
In the first century, Israel was also busy syncretizing pagan doctrines with the words of God, but this time, with the worse doctrines from Babylon’s descendant, Rome. And Israel was doing this for the same reasons, so an elite could nullify God’s just and loving words, so the elite could get away with lies and sins, so they could exploit the people through their abusive distortions of those Scriptures.
Jesus and His disciples knew their Israel was just like Israel in Jeremiah’s day. Thus, they knew God would destroy Israel again, in the same way, through the same people, through the fourth kingdom of Babylon, whom Israel had been emulating in their spiritual and moral traditions. Rome would soon crush all of Israel, just as their ancestor, Babylon, previously did. All this would fulfill Jeremiah’s Messianic prophecies. However, remember that Jeremiah also prophesied hope for the true Israel, in the future, through God’s covenant, which His very “heart” and “soul” would fulfill in them and through them, when He came to His elect in a body of flesh. And when Rome, the fourth generation of the same Babylon, together with Israel’s corrupt council, murdered God’s body of flesh, they had actually inadvertently ratified God’s New Covenant with His true Israel, fulfilling the most essential aspect of God’s covenant of salvation. They had enabled the hope of the true Israel living in the time of Matthew, and for all future elect souls. Humanistic Israel deemed the Creator to be worth only a small bag of Satan’s currency. But that sinless body had inestimable spiritual value. It justified God’s teaching and training of elect spirits, to cause His priesthood to truly worship Him in the real truth.
Mat. 27:11-26,
A Rigged Election
“Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked Him, saying, ‘Are You the King of the Jews?’ Jesus said to him, ‘So you say.’ When He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing. Then Pilate said to Him, ‘Don’t You hear how many things they testify against You?’ He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.
“Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner, whom they desired. They had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, ‘Whom do you want me to release to you?
Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?’ For he knew that because of envy they had delivered Him up. While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying,
‘Have nothing to do with that righteous Man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of Him.’
“Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. But the governor answered them, ‘Which of the two do you want me to release to you?’ They said, ‘Barabbas!’ Pilate said to them, ‘What then shall I do to Jesus, who is called Christ?’ They all said to him, ‘Let Him be crucified!’ But the governor said, ‘Why?
What evil has He done?’ But they cried out exceedingly, saying, ‘Let him be crucified!’
“So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, ‘I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.’ All the people answered, ‘May his blood be on us, and Page 1792
Mat. 27:11-26, A Rigged Election
on our children!’ Then he released to them Barabbas, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified” (Mat. 27:11-26, WEB).
Here we see how the corrupt rogue council took advantage of this Passover Sabbath day, knowing that most of the people in Israel would be quietly resting at home, preparing for the church service later that day. Just as they only gathered like minded members of the council to form their quorum, so they could make a false judgment against Jesus without interference from the more just members of their council, they now excluded the more just people of Israel from this election of the prisoner whom Pilate set free that day. For they obviously told only their like-minded people to assemble before Pilate that morning. And “the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.” In other words, they cheated by gerrymandered this election. They stacked the crowd with their own people, even though the vast majority of Israel, even the just ones who did not yet believe in Jesus, would definitely have voted to free Jesus instead. For all of Israel had seen the good works of this popular Jesus, and heard His biblical teachings. And none found any sin in Jesus, except those whose income, power and exploitative “liberties” were threatened by Him.
There is nothing that Satan’s murderous filthy children love more than to sabotage anything good offered to their land, since it means they can exploit the chaos and deaths they cause to gain power and profits. Thus, these arrogant theistic humanists from the fake church are always willing to rise up early so they can vote for evil, and for the resulting destruction of their own land. All the lusts of their self-worshipping flesh crave the undoing of all that is truly from God. And the devil calls these most vile spiritual prostitutes up from his worst false churches, as his principal agents in his works of rigging elections to work against the good of the people. We have seen this throughout history. Here fake priests and false elders of a godless church gathered mindless minions, rallied them to a raised platform outside Pilate’s Roman garrison, to rig an election of rare mercy, to vote for the worst candidate Rome might offer on God’s Passover day. Then, more recently, in the last century, we saw demonic churches rig elections for Hitler. Then we saw them do the same for Trump in this century.
Religious whores, who sell their souls cheaply for the devil’s rewards, are always striving to free the evil and bind the just, always weighing elections against God, so they can heap curses on their lands.
It would have been nice to see multitudes of Jesus’ followers and proponents come to that platform that day, to alter that vote, so Jesus could be freed. But such are always honest folk, who love God and His ways, who love one another. So that kind remained home with their families that day, so they could enjoy the Sabbath rest which God appointed for their good. And these filthy Churchians clearly did not want those just and loving kinds of people there with them on that platform, to vote on that day. In fact, that false church most likely lied and found ways to trick all those honest souls into staying home, so they could control the vote on that day. Nor did God rouse His own people to come and vote for Him that day. For our God Jesus knew He had to die on that day, so He could pay the devil’s ransom for the sins of His beloved elect, to free their captive thoughts and souls from Satan’s world order, and begin the process of undoing the chains of lies binding them. Jesus kept that Passover day reserved for freeing all of Israel, not just one lucky criminal offered by Satan’s dupes.
Naturally, the devil had a right to seize all sinners and own them as his property, because the utterly holy God could not allow Himself to gather any sinners into His kingdom. And literally all the elect sin too. Thus, demonic spirits were permitted to freely deceive and manipulate those elect, to make them into slaves serving their world order. And Satan could demand a high price for the release of elect sinners, from his dark and oppressive bondage. The devil insisted that all the sins of the elect must be paid in the currency of physical pain and death, the things all demons relish simply because they have no flesh, and know that God loves joy and life. Then the demonic realm would not let the Page 1793
elect go even if this price was paid, unless God also guaranteed that all those elect spirits would forever stop sinning. After all, if the elect continued to sin, they would be Satan’s property again. So God Himself had to teach and train all the elect spirits of His redeemed children after He paid the demanded price of their freedom. God had to guarantee their eventual perfection, so none would sin again, not even once, after their lives outside of heaven had been completed. However, if these demands were not fully met, then Satan and his kingdom held legal authority, even in God’s own eyes, to keep all elect souls as their slaves. And demons longed to have elect labourers in their own unjust kingdom, since only the elect were capable of accomplishing anything truly useful and good.
Yet our God Jesus was willing to pay the full price demanded by the devil for the lifetimes of sins committed by the Father’s true children, as well as guarantee their perfecting before any would be taken into His holy home of heaven. God’s body was willing to die that day, even in the most painful way possible, to pay for the sins of His elect. Then His own Holy Spirit was more than willing to commit to a continuous personal teaching and training of each and every elect spirit, throughout their lives on earth, then until the end of their last day at the gates of heaven, in order to complete the task of fully developing each spirit’s potential for love, as the perfect images of their just, loving Father.
Now archaeologists have found and excavated that raised platform where the fake priests and false elders of that rogue council stood with their blind dupes, in front of that ruthless Roman governor on that day long ago. That platform still exists, as do the same false churches serving that same pagan Rome. Yet we live in times after Jesus died for the sins of the elect on earth, and rose from the dead to grant them His Holy Spirit, so He can now waken, counsel, teach and train elect spirits. Because of His works, some elect can now serve Him, and share His other works, can labour with Jesus to undo the devil’s works, while building up His just, equitable, wise and loving kingdom on earth.
Some elect can now vote for Jesus, to nullify the votes of Satan’s children. Some elect may even be able to share in the crucifixion of Jesus on that cross, if the Father is willing, and partake in Christ’s work of freeing their elect siblings from demonic bondage. But these effective works of God against Satan’s world order were not entirely possible on that day long ago, not before His bodily sacrifice.
Jesus Revealed as Israel’s King
So Jesus was silent while He stood before Pilate and His false accusers. Also, Pilate would not have asked Jesus any questions until after His accusers presented their case against Jesus, just as Luke said (Luke 23:1-2). So we should first look at the accusations made by the plaintiffs, by the priests and rabbis bringing charges against Jesus. Matthew says: “And, while He was in the process of being accused by the chief priests and elders, He did not respond at all. Then Pilate said to Him: ‘Are You not hearing all they are testifying against You?’ Yet He was not answering one word to Him, not to anything, so that the governor [began] to admire [Him] much.” (Mat. 27:12-14, from: καὶ ἐν τῷ
κατηγορεῖσθαι αὐτὸν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀρχιερέων καὶ πρεσβυτέρων οὐδὲν ἀπεκρίνατο. τότε λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ
Πιλᾶτος· Οὐκ ἀκούεις πόσα σου καταμαρτυροῦσιν; καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ πρὸς οὐδὲ ἓν ῥῆμα, ὥστε θαυμάζειν τὸν ἡγεμόνα λίαν, SBLGNT). Jesus did not answer the lies of these liars since it is impossible to convince empty self-deluded souls to exchange their cherished delusions for realities.
The non-elect gods of their own minds, forcefully exerting lordship among those gathered there that day, loved the dark delusions they had invented for themselves. And the elect in their fake churches were far too afraid to let go of the lies binding them, to let their spirits step out of the delusional worlds their human gods created for them, into the actual spiritual realm, where the eyes of their spirits could clearly discern God and His truths. So, to be sure, the accusations against Jesus did reveal the utter depth of darkness in the minds of the psychopathic priests and elders. Luke told us Page 1794
Mat. 27:11-26, A Rigged Election
what the rogue council accused Jesus of doing: “We found this one corrupting our people and forbidding to give a tax to Caesar, even calling Himself the Messiah, [the one] to be King” (Luke 23:2, ALT). This is odd. Now some adversaries of Jesus say that Jesus never claimed to be the true Messiah. But here even his enemies recognized that Jesus did claim to be the Messiah, even to be Yahweh in a body of flesh, since the prophecies said the Messiah would be God. But they used these claims against Jesus, first declaring that He blasphemed by making these claims, then accusing Jesus of somehow threatening the hated Roman authority in Israel by making the same Messianic claims.
Notice how these fake priests and rabbis accused Jesus of the very same crimes that they themselves were committing. Psychopaths frequently do this, falsely accuse their opponents of the very same crimes they are committing, then transfer the same evil motives they nurture in their own hearts to those who are exposing their crimes. Liars love to call the honest “liars.” Haters love to call lovers
“haters.” Awakened non-elect children of the devil love to call the awakened elect of God “Satan’s children.” That evil brood cannot let the truths about themselves be exposed, so they hide their vile thoughts and deeds in public confessions, but as the thoughts and deeds of those who expose them, so that everyone who seeks the perpetrators of those criminal thoughts and deeds will turn away from them. Like wicked little children, they point to the innocent and cry, “They did it. Get them!”
When psychopaths know their opponents have discovered their crimes and evil motives, and that the dupes following them want relief from the pains of the crimes they committed through evil motives, those psychopathic criminals lie, distract, deflect and transfer the blame away from themselves. For psychopathic gods need prevent their dupes from seeing reality. Their dupes must keep relying on them as their human gods, so they must maintain the appearance of fake righteousness, in order to be able to continue exploiting and devouring their dupes. Their dupes must believe that they need to be owned by those criminals who enslave them. Psychopaths have to find ways to shift all the pain and loss felt by their dupes onto their opponents, lest their sheep realize that they are being eaten alive by those thieves who have lured them away from their true Owner. Psychopaths must keep their dupes totally confused, always falsely believing that all their troubles originate from those coming to save them. Religious exploiters can only keep on devouring their dupes if they can maintain an irrational terror, muddled thought processes, a dependence on lies and a distrust of truth in their dupes’ minds.
Now we all know from historical records, including the writings of those very priests and elders, that those religious “leaders” in that rogue council were very diligent in their duty of twisting Scriptures and studiously syncretizing pagan humanism with the teachings of God. They were always slavishly labouring at thoroughly “corrupting [their] people.” But everything Jesus taught about God’s Word was very accurate, consistent and harmonious—fully explaining exactly all that God had obviously intended His words to mean. Every word of the Scriptures has multiple other Scriptures to expound upon and explain the meaning. And all Jesus’ doctrines were faithful to that expounded, explained meaning from the other Scriptures, while totally lacking any pagan influences at all. So their biggest accusation was that Jesus was a false Teacher corrupting the people, just because Jesus denounced the humanistic Roman ways and traditions they invented in their own arrogant minds. But literally all whom God had granted eyes to see realities, knew this was a lie that God’s Word easily crushed.
As for the second accusation of those fake priests and elders, that Jesus was inciting a rebellion against Rome, due to the unpopular taxes demanded by Rome, Jesus had already soundly defeated that accusation. And Jesus’ response to this question about rebelling against Roman taxes was now repeated throughout Israel. Only the evangelicals (Pharisaic sects) in Israel, and many of the men in that rogue council itself, who deeply resented the burdensome taxes paid to Caesar. Yet the vast majority of those taxes were used for building roads and other kinds of infrastructure, as well as to Page 1795
suppress murderous gangs who plundered travellers, and other good services to Israel. So the real reason that most of those religious authorities resented the taxes paid to Rome was because they wanted more of that tax money for themselves, for their own personal gain, since none had any intention of using that revenue to provide the essential services that Rome was providing. This is why many of these religious leaders were “forbidding to give a tax to Caesar.” They incited rebellion entirely through selfish motives. Yet Jesus told those people, “give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s.”
Jesus told Israel to pay the Roman taxes, as well as pay for the works of God by His chosen ones.
So the priests and judging elders made totally false accusations about Jesus, and did so by saying that Jesus was responsible for their own crimes. In other words, their lies about Jesus before this Roman judge actually revealed the evil motives their own hearts and minds. They were trying to trick Pilate into thinking Jesus committed their crimes, not them. As for their accusation of Jesus
“calling Himself the Messiah, the one to be King,” Jesus did this—then frequently proved Himself to be that true Messiah and King of the prophecies, through all of His profoundly wise, just and loving teachings and through His many miracles. But Jesus did not come to us as a humanistic despot who subjugated the people for personal gain, like both the Romans and those Jewish authorities wanted to do. Rather, Jesus came to serve as our just, loving King and God, to serve us for only our own good.
Yet Pilate was no fool. Pilate knew these religious authorities standing on that platform were the real corrupters of their people, and were the only voices inciting the Jews to riot against Roman taxation.
Thus, Matthew wrote: “For [Pilate] had known [and previously concluded] that they betrayed [Jesus]
because of envy” (Mat. 27:18, from: ᾔδει γὰρ ὅτι διὰ φθόνον παρέδωκαν αὐτόν, SBLGNT). Still, what they said about Jesus being a Messiah and King intrigued Pilate. Thus, Matthew also told us:
“So Jesus was stood before the presence of the governor, and the governor asked Him, saying: ‘Are You the King of the Jews?’ Then Jesus was saying, ‘Are you yourself saying [this]?’” (Mat. 27:11, from: Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐστάθη ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ ἡγεμόνος· καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτὸν ὁ ἡγεμὼν λέγων· Σὺ εἶ
ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων; ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἔφη· Σὺ λέγεις, SBLGNT). Jesus knew that Pilate was a ruthless psychopath, the pragmatic and intelligent kind who believed in nothing but the things which served his own selfish ambitions. Yet even Pilate began to worry about the rumours that a Jewish Messiah would rise up to conquer Rome and all the world. So Jesus asked Pilate this rhetorical question to mock how even this pragmatic Roman believed the Bible. And John, who likely had a front-row seat with Annas during that trial, revealed much more about that conversation with Pilate.
In the above verse (Mat. 27:11), the phrase, ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἔφη, uses the durative imperfect form of the verb φημί, implying that Jesus had been talking to Pilate for an indefinite and ongoing period of time, getting Pilate to understand what was meant by the terms “messiah” and “king.” And John expounded on that conversation for us. John’s Gospel tells us: “Therefore, Pilate entered again into the Praetorium and said to Him, ‘Are You Yourself the King of the Jews?’ Jesus answered, ‘Are you reasoning this out from yourself or did others speak to you about Me?’ Pilate responded, ‘Am I a Jew? No! Your people and chief priests handed You over to me. What did you do?’ Jesus answered,
‘My kingdom is not from this world order. If My kingdom was from this world order, My subordinate officers would have been fighting, with the result that I was not handed over to the Jews.
So now, My kingdom is not from here.’ So Pilate then said to Him, ‘Therefore, are You not a king?’
Jesus responded, ‘You reason that I am a king. I Myself was born and now exist for this. I also came into the world order, and now remain in it, for this, so that I might complete a testimony for the truth.
Everyone being from the truth hears My voice.’ Pilate reasoned with Him, ‘What is truth!’ And, after saying this, he went out again to the Jews and reasoned with them, ‘I myself find nothing faulty in Him’” (John 18:33-38, from: Εἰσῆλθεν οὖν πάλιν εἰς τὸ πραιτώριον ὁ Πιλᾶτος καὶ ἐφώνησεν τὸν
Page 1796
Mat. 27:11-26, A Rigged Election
Ἰησοῦν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Σὺ εἶ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων; ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· Ἀπὸ σεαυτοῦ σὺ τοῦτο
λέγεις ἢ ἄλλοι εἶπόν σοι περὶ ἐμοῦ; ἀπεκρίθη ὁ Πιλᾶτος· Μήτι ἐγὼ Ἰουδαῖός εἰμι; τὸ ἔθνος τὸ σὸν
καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς παρέδωκάν σε ἐμοί· τί ἐποίησας; ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· Ἡ βασιλεία ἡ ἐμὴ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ
τοῦ κόσμου τούτου· εἰ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τούτου ἦν ἡ βασιλεία ἡ ἐμή, οἱ ὑπηρέται οἱ ἐμοὶ ἠγωνίζοντο
ἄν, ἵνα μὴ παραδοθῶ τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις· νῦν δὲ ἡ βασιλεία ἡ ἐμὴ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐντεῦθεν. εἶπεν οὖν αὐτῷ ὁ
Πιλᾶτος· Οὐκοῦν βασιλεὺς εἶ σύ; ἀπεκρίθη ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Σὺ λέγεις ὅτι βασιλεύς εἰμι. ἐγὼ εἰς τοῦτο
γεγέννημαι καὶ εἰς τοῦτο ἐλήλυθα εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἵνα μαρτυρήσω τῇ ἀληθείᾳ· πᾶς ὁ ὢν ἐκ τῆς
ἀληθείας ἀκούει μου τῆς φωνῆς. λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Πιλᾶτος· Τί ἐστιν ἀλήθεια; Καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν πάλιν
ἐξῆλθεν πρὸς τοὺς Ἰουδαίους, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Ἐγὼ οὐδεμίαν εὑρίσκω ἐν αὐτῷ αἰτίαν, SBLGNT).
Now, when that rogue council brought Jesus to Pilate, they likely left the temple grounds through the eastern “Golden Gate.” Then they would have walked around the northern outskirts of Jerusalem to the west gate of Herod’s Palace, which is where Pilate lived at that time, in AD 28, and where the barracks of the Roman soldiers were located. Their mob would not have left the temple through the western gate leading into the city, and they would not have travelled through the city to the east gate of the palace. For that would have attracted too much attention, and many followers of Jesus would have been drawn to the east gates of the palace. Then, if supporters of Jesus also came to that mock trial before Pilate, they would have opposed all that these fake priests, false elders and their duped rabble wanted to say and do before the governor, Pilate. So, considering this and John’s description of this event, we can be sure the Jewish mob had used the road following the outskirts of Jerusalem.
The gate on the west side of the palace grounds had a wide, open area in front of it, where a large crowd could gather. Then stone steps led up to the gate into a large enclosed area behind the gate.
And that enclosed area was separated from the palace grounds. Since there were many statues of pagan Roman gods standing in plain sight throughout the palace grounds, Jews refused to set even one foot inside there. However, Jews could enter the enclosed area within the wall, without entering the palace grounds. So, to address the crowds gathered outside the wall, Pilate would have exited the gate and spoke to them there. Then Pilate would have entered the gate, stepped into the area enclosed by the wall, climbed a few stairs to a higher level at the south end of the enclosed area, and ascended a small platform to sit on his judgment seat. These lower and higher levels of the enclosed area would have been where the council members, with a guard or two, would have led Jesus, since that is where Pilate’s main judgment seat was located. This is where the priests and elders made their false accusations and where Jesus spoke with Pilate. Also, Annas, the high priest, may have dragged John into that enclosed area, since he knew John’s family and likely wanted John to see how guilty Jesus was, so John might stop following Him. Thus, John was likely an eye-witness of this event.
Yet, if Annas did this, it backfired, since John saw their hypocrisy and loved Jesus even more after that. However, notice that John told us how Pilate entered and exited the “Praetorium” (court of the governor). Since Pilate did this, we can be certain he did all this at the west gate of Herod’s Palace, a place that archaeologists have now found, with a judgment seat in a large enclosed area, where Jews could approach him without entering the pagan palace grounds and without becoming “unclean.” So too, there was also a round stone outside the wall, another judgment seat on a platform overlooking the downward slope, where the Roman governor could sit, look down upon the crowds and proclaim his judgments. And John called this outer judgment seat Gabbatha, which means “The Pavement.”
So, inside the enclosed area, after hearing the public accusations of the rogue council, Pilate then privately discussed their accusations in depth. And, when Pilate heard that Jesus came from Galilee, he sent Jesus to Herod Antipas, the Tetrarch of Galilee, the man who beheaded John the Baptizer.
For Herod was visiting Pilate at that time, and was most likely staying in that palace. Thus, Pilate Page 1797
was probably thinking that, since Herod resented his rule over his father’s territory, and hated how Pilate was now living in his father’s palace, he would show respect for Herod by asking him to judge this prisoner. This would be a good political move, and bolster Herod’s ego, make Herod believe that Pilate respected him as the true heir of Herod the Great. Of course, this meant that at least some Jews from that rogue council would be forced to become “unclean,” because some of them would need to enter those pagan palace grounds, after Pilate had commanded them to drag Jesus to the steps of the palace where Herod would come out to judge our God Jesus. But they were willing to do this, since this mission to murder Jesus was very important to them, even though it meant they would now need to bathe and go to the mikvah that evening, in order to make themselves ceremonially “clean” again.
When Herod saw Jesus, he was overjoyed. For he knew about all the miracles Jesus had done. And a
“party animal” like Herod was always in the mood for a good magic show. Yet this Jesus remained silent and did nothing for Herod, regardless of what Herod said or did to Him, and no matter how much those lying priests and elders falsely accused Him. So Herod then became a little perturbed, and ordered his soldiers to put an expensive king’s robe on Jesus, likely one of his father’s old robes still sitting in a palace closet. After his soldiers struck and mocked Jesus, for Herod’s entertainment, Herod let the soldiers keep the robe, since it was probably stained with His blood. And it must have pleased Herod immensely to know that this Jesus was now utterly defeated and humbled by his own hands. For the people proclaimed Jesus to be the King of Israel, then cheered and welcomed Jesus far more than any Herodian ruler had ever been. Jesus, not Herod, received great praise as He entered the temple a few days earlier. Thus, since Herod had such a good time mocking our God Jesus, the true King of Israel, and since his hated rival Pilate had showed him such respect by letting him tortuously judge Jesus, Herod warmed up to Pilate and they became friends (Luke 23:6-12).
After Herod sent Jesus back to the Roman governor, Pilate still had to find some way to pacify the Jewish authorities standing there. So Pilate likely put on a stern face and interrogated Jesus, asking if He did indeed claim to be the King of Israel. For other men had also recently claimed to the Messiah or King of Israel, then led bloody rebellions against Rome. And Pilate did not want that to happen again, since it would be bad for his career, and also cause death and destruction. Since the rogue council accused Jesus of being a King, Pilate had to look like he wanted to know if Jesus claimed to be a king who came to lead a rebellion against Rome, although he knew full well that Jesus had no such intentions. Through countless reports about Jesus, Pilate knew Jesus taught a peaceful, just and loving faith, that Jesus was the kind of King who also taught His people to pay their taxes to Caesar.
Then Jesus also knew that Pilate knew this. So Jesus mocked Pilate’s pretense of interrogating Him, just to please those corrupt Jewish authorities, and asked Pilate, “Are you reasoning this out from yourself or did others speak to you about Me?” Jesus knew Pilate heard nothing to suggest He was a rebel leader, not from his own spies nor from others, but was merely playing a little political game.
The way Jesus gently mocked and rebuked Pilate here, also implied that Jesus knew Pilate feared and respected Him. Jesus knew that Pilate perceived Him to be an equal, even a superior bearing a greater power. And Pilate did fear and respect Jesus, even as a superior power and authority, albeit mostly through superstition. For one thing, Pilate had often been criticized for his failures, and likely thought the Roman gods might punish him for those misdeeds. So Pilate definitely had an inferiority complex, although he also had a huge ego to go with it, and acted defensively in extremely violent ways. Still, this inferiority complex kept him very afraid. He feared the gods and the people. And, just a few days before this, Pilate saw tens of thousands cheering for Jesus in a Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem. Yet these Jewish “leaders” were now emphasizing how evil and dangerous this peaceful Jesus was, how Jesus was a threat to both the Roman government and their own lucrative positions Page 1798
Mat. 27:11-26, A Rigged Election
in their fake church. Therefore, they would not back down. But, curiously, at the same time, these same men were asking him to release the prisoner Barabbas to them, and Barabbas was a violent insurrectionist, a proven murderer and thief (Luke 23:19; John 18:40). So Pilate saw just a little bit of hypocrisy in this. On top of all those obviously wicked motives and lies from these rogue council members, “As he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent out [a messenger] to him, saying,
‘Not one thing [originating from this crowd seeking your judgment] [is] for you and for this just Man. For I suffered much this day during a dream because of Him” (Mat. 27:19, ALT). Pilate’s wife seemed to believe that her dreams, especially vivid ones, came from the gods. And Pilate did too.
Since Jesus remained far too dignified to engage in a futile argument with those hypocritical liars from that fake church, as they relentlessly continued to falsely accuse Him, Pilate began to respect this noble quality of Jesus. Consequently, when Pilate realized that Jesus was wise, and refused to partake in the pretenses of ignoble political posturing, he felt inclined to believe that Jesus actually was the real prophesied Messiah, the genuine King of Israel, appointed by their God. So he shook himself and remembered his duty. Pilate had to remind himself that he was a great Roman official, bearing a responsibility to reassert his dignity and authority. Pilate needed to appease these Jewish authorities and counter the way Jesus’ eyes pierced through his insecure exterior, into his very soul.
Thus, Pilate answered Jesus: “Am I a Jew? No! Your people and chief priests handed You over to me. What did you do?” Of course, Pilate knew Jesus had done nothing wrong. Many spies reported to him, telling him all Jesus taught in His huge public gatherings, and how Jesus always silenced the Jewish rabbis and church authorities. For Pilate was absolutely paranoid about Jewish uprisings. He greatly feared the multitudes of Jews, who vastly outnumbered his troops. So he monitored literally all the large gatherings of Jews with extreme care. Still, Pilate had to look like he believed at least some of the accusations from these Jewish authorities, lest they rally their people to riot against him.
Jesus, like most people in Israel, knew all this about Pilate, and much more, since Jesus actually could read his inner thoughts. So Jesus answered the questions in Pilate’s mind, ignoring the words of meaningless political posturing spewing out from that man’s fragile ego, through his feelings of total inadequacy. Jesus assured Pilate: “My kingdom is not from this world order. If My kingdom was from this world order, My subordinate officers would have been fighting—with the result that I was not handed over to the Jews. So now, My kingdom is not from here.” Jesus reasoned with that paranoid little Pilate. Logically, if He was just another Jewish insurrectionist—like that Barabbas whom the Jewish authorities wanted him to release—then He would have “subordinate officers” (οἱ
ὑπηρέται), and very many of them, since He was one of the most popular Men in all Israel. And, if He wanted to raise an armed rebellion, He would have been easily able to resist the attempts by these Jewish authorities to seize Him. In fact, if He was the kind of Jewish despot that Rome feared, and the kind of Jewish despot that the fake church desired, the fake church would have supported Him, and certainly would not have brought Him, bound and beaten, to this Roman judgment seat. Thus, He definitely was not a violent rebel leader, not a threat to Pilate and this small garrison of troops.
Those church authorities from that rogue council hated Rome, although they wanted to be exactly like those Romans. For they too wanted to rule with autocratic power according to their own selfish impulses, manipulating and deceiving the masses for their own personal gain, with terrorized slaves serving their every whim and demand. But they wanted to pretend their kingdom of humanistic human gods was a theocracy. That is, they actually wanted a demonic theocracy, like the Roman Catholic church eventually developed during its zenith in the 12th century. In other words, they wanted to rule with an iron fist and use terrorism to control the masses in God’s name, so they could justify their evil words and deeds, but without granting the real God any say in any of their greedy, Page 1799
ruthless decisions. For false religion is a powerful weapon against true religion, able to confuse, confound, frustrate, weaken and totally nullify godly opposition against their evils. So they twisted God’s Word to make themselves and their dupes think the promised Messiah would need to be a ruthless pagan type of despot, who would murder, rape, pillage and enslave innocent Gentiles, in order to make all Jews into wealthy and powerful self-indulgent “lords” strutting in massive palaces, over all the trampled hopes of all the loving elect in the world. Those “leaders” of that fake church were just like the “leaders” of the fake churches who sided with Hitler and Trump, ruthless criminals with awakened non-elect spirits born of Satan, determined to use and abuse religion for their own nefarious and thoroughly evil purposes. And they were one with the secular psychopaths of Rome, Greece, Persia and Babylon, all loyal citizens of Satan’s four kingdoms, the worst enemies of God.
Now Daniel prophesied that the devil’s four kingdoms would culminate in the final Roman kingdom of enslaved sinners in Satan’s demonic world order. And that Roman fourth kingdom would “cut off”
or kill the Messiah, then serve as the ultimate enemies of God, as priests of what Daniel described as the beast’s humanistic self-worship in rebellion against God. Daniel also said the fourth kingdom would always consist of deadly factions, each as hard as iron, yet those opposing sects were bound together with clay, with the filth of their shared greed and lust for power. So all those factions would be one people, one religious kingdom ruled by Satan’s lies and psychopathy, and eventually by a demonic human messiah, by the beast, who is Satan in a body of human flesh. Thus, when we saw the Jewish members of that rogue council trying to bind themselves together with that psychopathic Roman governor and his Gentile soldiers, to achieve a common goal of suppressing God and God’s works on earth, we must realize that both were one kingdom, one people. Both were merely loyal humanistic citizens of Satan’s fourth kingdom. Nevertheless, Jesus assured Pilate that he had nothing physical to fear from Him, since His kingdom was not Rome’s kingdom. Jesus did not come to raise up just another competing faction within Satan’s world order, did not come to establish yet another sect within their fourth kingdom of Rome. Jesus was nothing like that false church, “not from this world order.” Nothing Jesus had done was a military or financial threat to either of their evil sects.
But Pilate, like those deluded fake priests and false elders, could not even imagine a king who was not like the kings ruling over their factions of the fourth kingdom. A King who ruled by thoroughly and effectively serving the needs of a free people, with godly wisdom and His own personal power, by teaching truths which pierced sinners’ hearts and set their spirits on right paths, in order to save them from destruction, this was not something even conceivable to the minds of the devil’s children.
So Pilate was confused. If the kingdom that Jesus claimed to own and rule “is not from this world order” (ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τούτου), then how could it even be a kingdom? For all that the deluded minds of flesh and suppressed spirits of Satan’s children know is what their hellish father lets them know. And that devil keeps them entirely focused upon delusions regarding their lives on earth, on matters like the dictates of his oppressive invention of money and exploiting power. Satan never allows his own enslaved children to catch even a glimpse of the more solid and substantial realities of God’s physical or spiritual realm. Thus, Pilate thought all kingdoms consist of soldiers battling for wealth and power, to toss it at the feet self-indulgent kings, who threw the scraps to the most ruthless soldiers, so they too could feel like human gods. Thus, how could Jesus be a King, if Jesus did not command “subordinate officers” willing to murder the weak and innocent for His own political and financial gain? If Jesus was not a king who owned human bodies of flesh and material things of this world order, then He was just a deluded fool. Pilate thought like Judas, since both were thoroughly deluded by their hellish father. Both thought, if Jesus was not a worldly king, then He was a nothing!
Page 1800
Mat. 27:11-26, A Rigged Election
Puzzled by these words of Jesus, and also relieved that Jesus seemed to have no desire to raise up any kind of army that might lead the Jews into yet another rebellion against him and Rome, Pilate asked Him: “Therefore, are You not a king?” At the same time, Pilate was thinking to himself that this Jesus was obviously wise enough to discern his true inner motives, that Jesus was fully aware of the machinations of astute political manipulators like himself and those fake Jewish authorities. Yet this Jesus did not fear them. Pilate saw how Jesus compassionately addressed the lowest and most impoverished as His siblings, yet now spoke to all these authorities as to His equals. Jesus never put on an air of superiority, yet His love for all made Him their Superior, like some kind of a true King, with the power to rebuke their hypocrisy. And this Rabbi even treated those religious authorities like a herd of babbling, deluded, hypocritical goats headed for slaughter. So Jesus clearly manifested all the signs of an extremely high rank and great authority, yet loved and respected worthless peasants.
This Jesus bore the attributes of a wiser and more powerful King than he had ever seen in his life, although Pilate had witnessed the thoughts, decrees and decisions of Caesars and many other kings.
Understanding all the churning little thoughts in the mind of this ruthless, insecure and thoroughly deluded Roman despot, Jesus explained to him: “You reason that I am a king. I Myself was born and now exist for this. I also came into the world order, and now remain in it, for this, so that I might complete a testimony for the truth. Everyone being from the truth hears My voice.” Of course, Pilate knew what Jesus meant by the word “truth.” In Jewish terms, it referred to the spiritual, moral and religious principles of life and faith, which the false church syncretized with the “truths” that his own Roman and Greek philosophers taught, all for a price. But, as an educated man of the world who had heard thousands of contradicting and conflicting “truths” from various sects of humanism, Pilate responded, “What is truth?” After all, his circles of society simply chose whatever self-serving
“truths” they desired, then dismissed the rest. And all those “truths” were used only for mundane and practical purposes, to maintain a modicum of order in life. But “truths” were never valued much in the lives of men like Pilate. Learning “truths” was never worth much time or effort, except when they might be useful for purposes like manipulating others for financial or political gain. Thus, when Jesus claimed to be born and dedicated to the purpose of “completing a testimony for the truth,” as a King ruling over only those who voluntarily came to Him “from the truth” within them, presumably the truth they received from His Holy Spirit’s teaching of their spirits, all this sounded like nonsense to a pragmatic, materialistic, wanna-be god like Pilate. Clearly Jesus, who thought souls could live according to “truths,” was a harmless kind of King, leading souls into a peaceful kind of life. So, after hearing this, Pilate walked away and got back to the business of temporarily restoring physical order, if possible by political means, but also willing to use threats and brutal violence, if necessary.
So, was Pilate right to casually dismiss the biblical kinds of “truths” as frivolous, specifically, the Jewish Messiah’s kind of truths originating from God, the truths revealed through His creations and His Word? Was Pilate correct in assuming that those truths were merely a body of useless principles from one of many failing and impractical religions, or even a hopeless pursuit of worthless cultural ideals in the devil’s world order? Was Pilate wise to think he, as a materialistic humanist, was a more pragmatic and effective ruler than this King, who served only the spirits whom God had drawn to Him, only those with spirits who cherished and guarded His truths, only those seeking to gather into a kingdom built entirely upon a foundation of His truths, where their only compulsion to serve His kingdom came from their own freed hearts? Was Pilate logical and rational when he disdainfully dismissed and immediately walked away from this King’s claims of truth, without even bothering to consider them? Was Pilate a better ruler because he preferred his humanistic Roman slave society, ruled through terrorism, a kingdom that fed solely on their blood-stained plunder from their wars and Page 1801
their own murdered citizens? Was Pilate being “realistic” when he rejected this Teacher’s notion of a free people choosing Him with their hearts, in a fulfilling, just, equitable, stable, peaceful kind of society, in a borderless land with its primary focus on a solid, consistent, harmonious, effective, provable truths? Could Pilate and other decision-making authorities ever justly and effectively serve their people for their good, if they did not personally value the truths Jesus taught, if they did not live according to those truths? From all that the world has seen throughout history, the clear and obvious answer to all these questions is an emphatic “No!” Pilate and his Roman humanism proved wrong.
Jesus has proved to be the only true King of all human beings in all history, the only perfect Ruler, the only one able to save us from slavery to lies and delusions, able to rescue us from the destructive sins that lies and delusions cause us to commit against ourselves and others. History proves, over and over again, to all with honest hearts, to all with spirits humbly seeking justice, equity and love, to all who desire the kinds of inwardly freeing truths that Jesus taught, that only Jesus can be their King.
And all who desire the kind of love built on a foundation of real truth, in the way described by the biblical God’s own personal interpretation of His own laws and words, have always been the only truly free and inwardly joyful people that have ever existed on earth. And the more closely that any community or society believes and follows the kinds of truths that our God Jesus taught, the more free and inwardly joyful they become. As long as those kinds of people prevent the psychopathic children of Satan from bearing any power or influence over them, they remain peaceful havens for everyone. And realize this; some of those biblical societies had never even know about God’s Word, had never even heard of the Bible. Yet their spirits knew a right interpretation of the Bible taught by their King and God, Jesus Christ. This is because the Holy Spirit of our God Jesus spoke to their human spirits. They became true disciples of Jesus, without ever knowing His name, and without ever hearing a single word from the Bible. It is as Jesus said, “Everyone being from the truth hears My voice.” God is universal, speaks to all elect spirits, no matter where they are located on earth.
Unfortunately, the devil’s voice is also universal, and is always whispering his lies to the spirits of his children, causing them to murder. And Satan will not stop doing this, until Jesus returns to cast him into hell. So, until Jesus returns, Satan sends cunning psychopaths into those small societies of freed and joyful elect souls, to confuse, divide and destroy them. And this is good, in a way, since those saboteurs wake us from our comfortable carnal ways, cause us to dig deeper and challenge our superficial assumptions. They turn our spirits toward truths, and toward the Author of all truths. God actually created this transient material existence for this purpose, so the devil and his minions could prowl upon the earth, seeking to devour, but through this, cause the spirits of God’s elect children to love Him and His truths more than they ever learn to do so in heaven. And God also keeps that kingdom of the devil divided, weak, fragile and temporary, so it cannot ever fully overcome His elect. God designed Satan to be cunning, but the fact that he and all non-elect spirits are loveless means they can never unite through love. It means that, no matter how much they superficially unite to conquer and oppress, they are always just one small crack away from breaking apart into chaos.
Very few good, just, loving societies seem to know how to silence those non-elect saboteurs sent by the devil, how to keep them in check, or how to cast them out. To keep their equitable, just and loving communities in tact, they all need to let their King Jesus serve as their only governing and decision-making Authority. For Jesus is God, and Jesus does have the power to command the thoughts and selfish ambitions of Satan’s human offspring to turn against one another and destroy themselves. No human being can possibly be allowed to become a “lord” over other human beings among them. For God is a Servant of all His creations, especially of His beloved children. So God does not allow humanistic hierarchies of “inferiors” serving “superiors.” Rather, God ordained, from Page 1802
Mat. 27:11-26, A Rigged Election
the very beginning, that the greatest in every family, even the families of large nations, must be the servant of all, just as He called Himself, the Messiah Jesus, the Servant of all. So the moment another human being thinks he or she can become a superior authoritative “teacher” and “judge,”
that one shall feel the wrath of our King and God. Jesus will cause that one to be corrupted and perverted, handed over to self-destructive lies and delusions. There is only one Spirit who is mature and wise enough to faithfully serve us as our teaching, judging King, always for our own good, always granting us real truths that set us free, always making effective decisions that maintain and grow our spirits, leading our souls into health, joy and communion with one another, until we are also one with Himself. Only Jesus bears the wisdom, power and authority to keep us safe, to lead our spirits and flesh into a life of love with inner peace and joy. Jesus alone is the Saviour of the world.
Although, like Pilate, many humanists admire Jesus and His just ways, and some even allow the lovers of His truths to follow Him as His disciples, that kind of humanist simply does not care about the real and effective truths of God, the proven principles of life and faith. The non-elect are far too centred on self to care about what is or is not be the genuine truth. So that kind will indeed crucify Jesus and His disciples, for one’s own political and financial gain, whenever they are forced to choose between truth and personal benefits, like Pilate was. Then there are those who firmly commit to the advancement of their own self-serving lies, whose spirits are far more deeply enslaved and influenced by Satan or other demonic spirits. These will actively seek out Jesus and His disciples, so they can murder and plunder them. Then this fact remains; there are lost, deceived and deluded elect souls among both kinds of humanists. Not all the humanists who have been crucifying Jesus and His disciples, throughout history and in our present day, are the non-elect. Nor do the enemies of God from other religions all have non-elect spirits born of Satan. For we cannot judge their spirits solely by the words and actions of their flesh, without also taking into account the motives and intentions of their spirits whenever they face real truths. And infantile spirits of the elect are easily manipulated, will readily believe lies, then sin terribly. Literally all elect “once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience; among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest” (Eph. 2:2-3, WEB).
We have even seen some elect utterly destroy their own lives, and the lives of many others, even their own children, by becoming blind disciples of Satan and that devil’s most psychopathic slaves, even Hitler and Trump. Although literally all elect spirits bear the potential to hear the voice of our God Jesus, since Jesus is always willing to personally teach and train every individual elect spirit, many elect live only according to their minds of flesh and utterly suppress the voices of their spirits.
The outer consciences of many elect are formed in their minds of flesh by parents and communities that hate and forbid any semblance of real truth. Consequently, the minds of flesh in these elect learn to automatically fear, dismiss, slander and mock the truths that God’s Holy Spirit might whisper to their spirits. And, since all elect spirits learn and know some real truths, their minds of flesh will obey their outer consciences, then judge their own elect spirits to be evil and untrustworthy. Their minds of flesh treat genuine truths from God as though they were Satanic “doubts,” then oppress their own spirits, cast their own spirits out of the chambers of their souls, then confine their spirits to the chambers of their hearts and lock the door. For this is the only way their flesh can maintain its
“faith” and “loyalty” to Satan and his minions. Their flesh is far too terrorized to allow their elect spirits to hear truths from God’s Spirit and repeat those truths in the chambers of their souls, where all their thoughts are formed and all their decisions are made. Therefore, when these elect expel their Page 1803
own spirits from their own souls, to silence God at the same time, they can live their entire lives without ever daring to question any of Satan’s delusions and lies that are fed to their minds of flesh.
In the devil’s world order, we see many terrorized elect who are far too afraid to hear any of God’s real truths, as well as many non-elect who hate those real truths, and are incapable of even beginning to comprehend them. Thus, it is impossible for us to convince either kind to hear and accept the real truths, to hear and understand all that God has revealed in His creations and in His Word. Rather, all we can do is find the elect with spirits that God has chosen to wake, who bear the potential to love in just ways, who are inwardly drawn to the truth, whose first instinct of the heart is to believe the truth and do what is right, according to God’s own interpretations of His own words. Then, together, we can challenge the lies and delusions of Satan’s children, by exposing them to the light of God’s real truth. With two or more reliable witnesses, we can also inform the lost elect that each has a spirit which is able to converse with God Himself, a spirit which can easily talk with the Holy Spirit of Jesus, at any time and in any place. We can send them to their Creator, God and King, to directly learn all truths from Him. We can assure them that He will confirm all real truths we have uttered, and correct any errors we made. If their spirits will rebuke their minds of flesh and overcome their fears in those deluded minds of flesh, Jesus lives and will progressively teach and train their spirits, will guide and counsel their spirits into an ever deeper and wiser understanding of all His truths.
The principal duty of all true disciples of Jesus is to follow Him as their only Lord, as their only authoritative Teacher of all principles of life and faith, as well as the only final Judge in all matters of life and faith. Since Jesus is our only Head, the only biblical and true kind of elder or pastor is the kind that teaches the lost elect to go to Jesus, and to Him alone. For no true disciple of Jesus can be the lord of others, yet also call all to serve Jesus their only authoritative Teacher and final Judge in all matters of life and faith. Every true disciple of Jesus must refuse to be the lord, teacher or head of any other man. Rather, every genuine elder in every true church of the Messiah, our God Jesus, will refuse to let any human being to be the lord of anyone’s life. And he himself will go directly to Jesus to learn all truth. A true elder insists that all he teaches must be personally confirmed and expounded upon by the Holy Spirit of our God Jesus. Every spirit of everyone in the true church must live under the authority and power of Jesus alone. For only Jesus is qualified to be the King of all, able to crush all delusions and lies spewing from the slaves of Satan, and able to make His freeing truths effective.
God Law of Electing the King God Chose
God’s Law, which Jesus fulfills in us and through us, gave us this command: “Set over [yourselves]
the authority [whom] Yahweh your God is in the process of choosing” (Deut. 17:15a, ALT). Here the masculine form of the Hebrew noun mehlek primarily inferred one who delivered esteemed and wise authoritative counsel. It referred to a male whose counsel is most highly respected, to serve others in the role of a decision-making authority or judge over their secular affairs, to meet both domestic and military needs for the people. So God commanded His priesthood of Israel to set or put or elect an authority over their secular affairs. Then God gave a list of qualifications for this elected authority, who was to make decisions through the wise counsel from the rest of the priesthood, as God’s Word demanded, so that his own counsel would be wise. And the first and foremost qualification of any candidate for their election was to be that this male authority was the one whom “Yahweh your God is in the process of choosing.” That is, the imperfect form of the Hebrew verb here implies an action that is not completed and still occurring at the present time. But how could they know which man Yahweh God “is in the process of choosing”? They could know by the biblical signs of God, by the way God is making the man’s works into effective blessings for His people, by how loving, just and Page 1804
Mat. 27:11-26, A Rigged Election
wise all that man’s works are turning out to be. Moses and the biblical prophets proved to be those whom God was “in the process of choosing,” since they were all becoming more loving and wise throughout their lives. So God was in the process of saving their souls by continuously teaching and training their spirits to effectively apply His truths. Now we are to elect those who manifest the same kind of just, wise and loving effects. We must look for a similar process occurring in the spirits of our elected authorities. In other words, we must thoroughly vet all who are willing to serve the people as decision-making authorities. And we must not only look at their superficial qualifications, but at their hearts. For those with right hearts and no qualifications of the flesh are vastly superior servants of the people, compared to those with outwardly perfect qualifications of the flesh but with no heart to truly serve. Throughout history, this law of God has always proven to be absolutely true.
Also, all God’s laws are basically case laws. He gives examples of His decisions, which set the precedent for the way we are to judge in all similar circumstances, as well as how we are to behave in all similar situations. So this means that we must apply the same criteria that God’s Law outlined here to literally all positions that require someone to take responsibility for making decisions which affect other people under their care and supervision. We are to elect all decision-making authorities in all levels of government or management, in every church, business, city, county, state, province or nation in this way. Every position of authority must be filled by someone whom God “is in the process of choosing.” That is, only just and loving men qualify as candidates, only men whose spirits heed the counsel of God’s Spirit. But, as previously mentioned, this does not necessarily mean they must be Christians or Jews. What it does mean is that all must have an inner conscience, formed by God in the minds of their spirits, through His Holy Spirit’s counsel, teaching and training. We are to elect those who “show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them,” so each heart “fulfills the Law” of God, where each “is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God” (Rom. 2:15,27,29, WEB).
It also means that we all must be able to recognize the signs of those whom God is “in the process of choosing.” And some of the signs, which God listed after His command to elect only such men, are: 1. He must not be a “foreigner,” that is, he must not separate himself from the rest of the people, thinking he is some kind of superior race or breed of person, but must be a man who loves all the other people equally, who shares all of the same spiritual and moral values (Deut. 17:15); 2. He must not be power-hungry and not willing to make alliances with the wicked in order to gain instruments of war and power from them (such as horses from the Egyptians, see 17:16); 3. He must not let sexual lusts affect his responsibilities and decisions for the people (17:17); 4. He must value God’s Law, and heed the priests who teach that Law, who judge by it and enforce it, never think he is above the Law, never esteem himself above his siblings who are under his care and supervision, but must write down the wisdom of God’s loving justice for his own personal use, even upon his own heart and mind, then fulfill that Law (17:18-20).
Of course, our God and High King Jesus is the ultimate example of what every authority must strive to emulate. Then the examples of the opposite extreme, the kinds of authorities one must diligently strive to be unlike, would be the many antichrists which John the apostle wrote about (I John 2:18), men like Hitler and Trump, men who had rejected every spiritual teaching in God’s Law, every decent moral principle held by all godly souls under the sun, men who were so power-hungry that they made alliances with Satan himself, men who murdered and raped, then encourage others to do Page 1805
the same, men who thought they were above any and all laws and murdered their own people for financial and political gain, men characterized by violence, ruthlessness and lies, whose only good works were all tainted by criminal neglect and malicious slander. And we must remember that, when the people elected Hitler and Trump, they saw their justice systems demolished, innocent children murdered, and God’s destroying wrath fall upon their nations. For God allowed them to elect Hitler and Trump to punish the racist, arrogant, ignorant non-elect in their lands, and to wake up the sleeping elect who did not think it was worth their time and effort to hear Him in their hearts. God counted their electors as His enemies, and called their chosen leaders fake saviours, mere usurpers of the decision-making positions He had appointed for the people in those lands. So we must learn from their mistakes, repent into the truth, and only elect those whom God “is in the process of choosing.”
But Matthew spoke of another election, also manipulated and rigged by thugs, just like the elections of Hitler and Trump: “So, during the feast, the governor always practised a custom to set free one prisoner for the crowd, the one whom they willed [him to set free]. Yet they had been holding a notable prisoner being called Jesus the son of Abba at that time. Therefore, after effectively gathering them together, Pilate said to them, ‘Whom are you people resolved [that] I might set entirely free for you, Jesus, the son of Abba, or Jesus, the one being called the Messiah?’ For he knew that they handed Him over [to the Romans] because of envy. Now, while sitting upon the judgment seat [i.e., while he previously sat on the judgment seat in the enclosed room at the palace gate], his wife sent a messenger to him saying, ‘Nothing [here is] for the benefit of you and that righteous one. For I suffered much this day because of Him, due to a dream.’ Yet the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds, so they should ask for Barabbas, so they might destroy Jesus” (Mat. 27:15-20, from: Κατὰ δὲ ἑορτὴν εἰώθει ὁ ἡγεμὼν ἀπολύειν ἕνα τῷ ὄχλῳ δέσμιον ὃν ἤθελον. εἶχον δὲ τότε
δέσμιον ἐπίσημον λεγόμενον Ἰησοῦν Βαραββᾶν. συνηγμένων οὖν αὐτῶν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Πιλᾶτος·
Τίνα θέλετε ἀπολύσω ὑμῖν, Ἰησοῦν τὸν Βαραββᾶν ἢ Ἰησοῦν τὸν λεγόμενον χριστόν; ᾔδει γὰρ ὅτι διὰ
φθόνον παρέδωκαν αὐτόν. Καθημένου δὲ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ γυνὴ
αὐτοῦ λέγουσα· Μηδὲν σοὶ καὶ τῷ δικαίῳ ἐκείνῳ, πολλὰ γὰρ ἔπαθον σήμερον κατʼ ὄναρ διʼ αὐτόν.
Οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεισαν τοὺς ὄχλους ἵνα αἰτήσωνται τὸν Βαραββᾶν τὸν δὲ
Ἰησοῦν ἀπολέσωσιν, SBLGNT). So here we see how Pilate established a tradition of letting the Jewish people elect one Jewish prisoner to be set free each year on the fist day of the Passover week.
Yet this was a strictly political move to appease the anger of the people against Roman injustice. He would release a chosen prisoner, yet not stop the arrests of the innocent, and even the released man would soon be arrested again, then tortuously executed. This was a characteristically psychopathic kind of “charity,” designed to mock the powerlessness of the people in front of the Roman officials.
We need to realize how Roman psychopathy functioned here. First, Pilate chose which prisoners he would offer as candidates, and he chose a Jew who sought to free Israel from Roman rule. For, in those days, there were plenty of zealous Jews attempting to free Israel. Barabbas, or the son of Abba, was one of many. And allowing them to choose a man fighting for freedom would give them a false sense of hope, would make them think that God let them spare one of their freedom fighters. Yet the Roman authority would offer to free only one, then execute the rest, to ensure that the Jewish people would then feel as though they themselves were responsible for condemning to death all their other Jewish brothers whom they did not choose. So this election was purposefully designed to make the Jewish people and the one freed prisoner feel guilty, even depressed for life. It was effectively the transfer of Rome’s own guilt upon their victims. For Rome violently exploited the Jews so much that they caused the Jewish rebellions against themselves. And, naturally, Rome did not need to torture their prisoners to death, but could have simply imprisoned them, or executed them mercifully. Yet Page 1806
Mat. 27:11-26, A Rigged Election
Rome loved to terrorize their conquered people into submission through extreme violence. Then, through dirty little psychopathic tricks like this, they caused the Jews to think they were the ones who chose to sentence all the unelected Jewish prisoners to a tortuous death. So this was not really an appeal by prisoners to the “court of the people,” but actually a malicious plot to destroy Jewish morale, mocking the way they celebrated their freedom from pagan tyranny on the Passover day, by outwardly appearing to conduct a benevolent act of freeing a Jew, then crucifying those not freed.
Nevertheless, this perverse election was still an election by the people, and could have been a “fair”
one, if all the people had voted. Yet the “leaders” of the false church made it even more corrupt than it already was, by rigging the election, by ensuring that they called up only the supporters of their own minority parties to participate in the vote, and by convincing their dupes that “they should ask for the son of Abba, but they should destroy Jesus.” And they had likely told all their dupes some scary lies like, “If you don’t help us righteously silence this Jesus, all will be lost. Our most holy church will be destroyed, God will be utterly defeated and Satan will rule the world!” After all, the fake churches have always needed to employ fear-mongering lies to deceive their dupes, and all kinds of euphemisms to disguise their murderous plots against God and His servants. You can also see here that these fake church “leaders” did not even think that this Roman method of demoralizing the Jewish people, through this mock appeal to the “court of the people,” was evil. Rather, these fake religious “leaders” embraced that psychopathic concept of “destroying” unelected Jewish prisoners, to get their dupes to accept the guilt of murdering Jesus, whom they themselves had handed over to Rome as Pilate’s prisoner. Those chief priests and judging elders of the church happily partook in the vile psychopathic and outright demonic injustice of the devil’s own religion of Rome. So this made it easy for them to gather their dupes to vote that day, since loving Jews wanted nothing to do with it.
I repeat, God’s Law declared that the first day of the Passover was a Sabbath. Since the Passover day began at the previous sunset, it was still the Passover Sabbath on the morning that those priests and rabbis of the rogue council rigged that demoralizing Roman election, so they could condemn Jesus to death. Therefore, because that council was not even supposed to meet on a Sabbath day like this one, except in extreme emergencies, those false priests and fake pastors could not stone Jesus to death with their own hands. But this was not because they did not want to murder an innocent man on a Sabbath day. Rather, it was because, if they did the “work” of lifting stones on a Sabbath day, their people might call them hypocrites. After all, they all taught their man-made traditions which forbade their dupes from lifting stones on Sabbath, falsely declaring that it would break God’s Sabbath laws.
However, all in that rogue council agreed that it would be perfectly acceptable to commit murder on a Sabbath day, as long as the murderers did not lift any stones. And, according to other man-invented laws, which they tricked the people into believing were God’s laws, they also encouraged their dupes to use Satan’s currency or any other kind of worldly power to hire, coerce or trick the Gentiles into doing all kinds of unlawful works for them on a Sabbath day. So this is why these priests and rabbis of the fake church gathered all the dupes they could muster, and tried so hard to keep this election a secret from the other Jewish people. To rig the vote, so they could get Pilate to do the dirty work of murdering Jesus for them, without breaking their own man-invented Sabbath laws, only they and their dupes had to be there during that election. And they took extraordinary measures to ensure this.
Besides, if the Romans murdered Jesus for those Jewish authorities, that rogue council could then transfer their own blame for His murder to those Romans, when the rest of the council and honest Jewish people questioned them later that day. So there was a whole lot of psychopathic transferring of guilt upon unsuspecting souls going on that day. Besides, those elite Romans loved to commit the cold-blooded murdering of innocent lives for their own selfish gain. It thoroughly pleased their dark Page 1807
little sadistic hearts to commit any kind of sin or crime. In fact, it was Rome’s official passion and honour. All Romans were taught that true patriots must be able to kill mercilessly, to please their demonic gods. After all, Rome was Satan’s fourth kingdom, the ultimate false religion established by that devil solely for the purpose of perfecting and disseminating rebellion against the real God, the devil’s ultimate blasphemy against God. Rome was the core of Satan’s kingdom, carefully taught and trained by demons as the antithesis of God’s free kingdom, bred through centuries of psychopathic kingdoms to be loveless worshippers of self. Rome was the essence of Babylon, Persia and Greece, diseased from birth by this ultimate demonic religion. Their elite loved to spit in the face of God,so they could create their own unjust laws to served the coddled lusts of their flesh, as their own gods ruling over their own destinies. And, because that rogue council’s false church was created under the guidance of Babylon’s demonic gods, it remained one with Babylon descendant, Rome. Those Jews were Roman humanists like Pilate—although they were a sect of theistic humanists pretending to worship Yahweh, instead of Roman gods and the Persian sun god, as Pilate and the Roman elite did.
Still, a Roman is a Roman by any other name. Thus, all those false priests and fake elders of that rogue council were true Romans. Therefore, it was the fourth kingdom of Rome who “cut off” the body of Jesus, just as Daniel prophesied. Humanistic Roman priests and elders in Israel, together with their Gentile brothers from the same hellish father, murdered Jesus, not the Jews of true Israel, not any of the elect among the Old Covenant Jews, not any awakened nor any sleeping elect Jews.
And the same Rome still exists today, spread throughout the entire world, as Daniel also prophesied.
The fake humanistic church still exists too, although now under many pseudonyms, such as orthodox
“Jews” and “Christians,” or as Roman Catholics, Calvinists, fundamentalists, evangelicals and so on.
Both Jewish and Gentile theistic Romans, as well as all the atheistic secular humanists, were the real murderers of Jesus, and they all continue to war against the real Jesus, against His truths, against His works and against His elect, as prophesied. Nevertheless, Jesus and His freeing truths, all the just ways of His fulfilled laws placed in the hearts of His elect, also continue to advance and build up God’s just and loving kingdom on earth, to this very day. But those humanists remain as factious as Daniel prophesied. In the same way the false Jewish church formed by Babylon warred against the secular Babylonians in the sixth century BC, then the false Jewish church formed by Rome warred against secular Romans in the first century AD, the fake Yahweh-worshipping humanists and secular Romans still war against one another in our day. Though all worship Mammon and power as a union of human gods, they continue to irreparably wound one another. For, although humanists believe they remain in control of their own destinies, they clearly do not. Rather, the real God continuously divides and destroys them from within, and God will soon return to the earth in a body of flesh to finish His destruction of that kingdom created by Satan. Then God’s just, loving kingdom will reign in peace over all the earth. Our God Jesus, and His truth, will destroy them, for the sake of His elect.
I have seen Jews who side with Romans like Hitler and Trump. So none can tell me that humanistic Jewish priests and elders would never side with Romans to murder Jesus. I also know how Jews can practise a completely false kind of ruthless religion, no better than the ruthless Roman Catholics and Evangelicals. I have clearly witnessed how religious Jews can be as bad as the so-called “Christians”
who actively support the prototype demonic beasts, like Hitler and Trump, how they all lie, gleefully practising psychopathic forms of humanism, falsely in God’s name, so they can slander God’s name throughout the earth. For, by God’s plan, all religions will have awakened children of Satan within them, to “test” the elect like metal, to purify their spirits for their eternal homes. On the other hand, although most elect are corrupted and now practise the religion of Roman humanism, I testify that I Page 1808
Mat. 27:11-26, A Rigged Election
have seen, nevertheless, many Jews, Christians and people from other religions, take the side of Jesus, by upholding the truth, justice, equity and God-like love in their families and in their lands.
Even some atheists have looked me in the eyes, baring their honest and loving souls to my own soul, and have spoken honestly before the face of God. This is something only the elect are capable of doing, and only by God’s power freeing their spirits from delusions. So I know that many elect exist everywhere on earth, and that Jesus is beginning to wake their spirits. During these last generations, Jesus has begun to dichotomize the people of this world, to divide the elect from the non-elect. Yes, the masses, the majority, still have sleeping elect and non-elect spirits, with empty eyes revealing nothing from the vacuums of their souls, with feather-light thoughts continuously tossed to and fro by every breeze from the spiritual realms. These are still found everywhere. And Satan pushes many into synagogues and churches, or into secular humanism and other religions, then coerces them into serving and building up his despotic, destructive kingdoms on earth. Thus, there certainly are many blind, lost, sleeping elect remaining enslaved by Satan’s children, by despots like Trump and Hitler.
From the beginning, Satan has been raging against God and His elect upon the earth. And the devil fights a spiritual war, where the core love and hate in each one’s spirit will need to take a side. So we must no longer allow that devil’s fake churches distract us, by turning our focus toward the irrational impulses cast into our minds of flesh by their stupid preaching. Now we must realize that this is a strictly spiritual warfare, which seeks to either suppress or stimulate the irrepressible desires of our spirits, which either turns each elect or non-elect spirit towards or away from the eternal directions of its own inherent attributes. It is not about physical thoughts and behaviours, about rules, laws and traditions obeyed by brains of flesh. It is much deeper, about core values of spirits. Due to this, God wanted His true church of Israel to remember the Passover. The reason was because His power and love for His children overwhelmed Satan’s world order. It was when God overtly mocked Egypt’s false gods by crushing their physical military might, while devastating all of that devil’s enslaving financial systems in the process. God’s power forced the demonic gods and human gods of Egypt to set His people free from a spiritual tyranny. And God’s intention, by then granting Israel His spiritual laws, was that their spirits would then learn to truly love one another and Him, that they would then, at the very least, justly and equitably care for and respect one another. What God defeated during the first Passover was not a physical kingdom, but their spiritual evils of loveless, psychopathic religion.
Then Jesus, on a Passover day, died while His priesthood of Israel was celebrating this memorial of God’s deliverance from their spiritual slavery to the devil’s spiritual lies taught by Egypt. And by His bodily death, He broke the back of that devil’s religious, spiritual kingdom. On a Passover day, Jesus died in the flesh to set our spirits free from the tyranny of thoughts and practises forced upon our minds of flesh, the kinds of thoughts which suppress elect spirits, which make them think the need to fight a physical battle to be free, while those elect spirits sleep, weakened by starvation, by never being allowed to eat the nourishing spiritual meat of God’s truth, to strengthens their spirits’ love.
Jesus made it possible for elect spirits to now casually dismiss the thoughts and impulses cast into their brains of flesh, and not dwell upon them. For now they are not so foolish as to call those petty little urges in their physical brains by spiritual names like “demons.” Now elect spirits can be free from any and all obligations to serve as slaves to the lies and sins taught to their minds of flesh by Satan’s kingdom. The might of that devil’s weapons are their power to keep elect spirit’s asleep and distracted from all real spiritual matters, from growing true love and real justice in their hearts. But when our minds and bodies of flesh died with the sinless flesh of Jesus, the power of those physical distractions was neutralized. From the beginning, Satan and his false religions of the world order have used the devious tactic of focusing on the “lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the Page 1809
pride of life” (I John 2:16). The demons and their children are always trying to get us to think that these physical matters are spiritual matters, which we must either seek or flee from, either justify or condemn. All fake religions are about doing this or that physical thing to supposedly become more spiritual, or to stop doing this or that physical thing to supposedly become more spiritual. Yet all of the devil’s fake religions miss the whole point. It is always and invariably the motives and intentions of the spirit which make anything clean or unclean, never the physical things or actions themselves.
For instance, adultery is not a sin and unclean just because it involves physical sex. For sex itself is just a physical thing God created and called good. Adultery only becomes unclean and a sin if the loveless spirits in the adulterers exploit one another for physical pleasure without considering the harm caused to the love covenants of their spouses’ spirits, and caused to the love covenants that have been forming in their children’s spirits. But even adultery is instantly forgiven by God, and not counted as a sin, only as a temporarily unclean situation, if the two who committed adultery had no spiritually loveless intentions or motives, and if their spirits had made true love covenants with one another. As an example, God’s Law does not condemn a woman, who thought she was a widow, then married another man, but later found out her first husband was still alive. Physically, this is complex.
But the spiritual judgment is clear, and does not call this adultery. And the spiritual solutions are also clear. In such a case, the woman would need to remain married to the man with whom God had created the strongest love covenant in her spirit, but only if that man also had a true love covenant with her in his spirit. Then she would be married one and the other must become a divorced man.
Of course, all this spiritual tactic of distracting elect spirits from learning to love in a just, equitable, responsible way is worked in tandem with Satan’s unjust and enslaving financial delusions and the terrorism of that devil’s favourite despots. For money and fear prevents the flesh from allowing any spiritual interference with its survival and/or pleasures. But now our flesh has vicariously died together with the flesh of Jesus. So the delusion that money is somehow real, along with the fear of not being able to survive without psychopaths offerings of money, have been subjugated under the rule of the Creator’s Holy Spirit, as His Spirit teaches and trains our spirits to justly love and share His providence in nature equitably, while each one joyfully fulfills his or her own destiny. Now our awakened elect spirits no longer allow our minds of flesh to rule over our souls, to make all of our decisions of life. Now our flesh must consult our spirits in all matters of life and faith. Now our elect spirits are free to follow the inherent desires put in them at birth, and to rule in the chambers of our souls, as the managers of our whole lives. Now we can nullify evil and build up God’s good lands.
All these powers and tools of the devil have already been broken and destroyed by Jesus, and have never functioned well from the beginning. Now His Holy Spirit is able to rule over the lives of elect souls, so that demonic threats of violence and delusions of financial ruin mean nothing to them, to the spirits of His faithful disciples. For God’s true elect have always been the only capable and valuable souls on earth, the only lights of the world, because they alone are able to love. And Satan trembles whenever our God Jesus shines through them. Without weapons of this world, and without money, Christ’s honest, loving elect repair, save or build the necessary structures and equipment for life, then grow all everyone needs upon God’s lands and with God’s powerful blessings, using His resources. The one God Jesus does indeed bless His elect who love. He makes their loving works effective for the sakes of all. Because all this exists now, in Jesus, He has already won this long war.
Jesus did not stop the fake religions from rigging that perverse Roman election, that “free choice”
Rome designed solely to demoralize God’s priesthood of Israel. Although both the cheaters and the election itself were both shams, and it would have been easy for Jesus to get Himself elected and freed at that time, Jesus wanted to do the far more impossible works of dying for our sins and raising Page 1810
Mat. 27:11-26, A Rigged Election
Himself from the dead to become our eternal Teacher. Jesus deliberately let those false priests, fake pastors and their blind dupes condemn Him to death, then receive their murdering thief, Barabbas, as their false messiah. Jesus willingly went to His tortuous death, as an unelected and rejected prisoner of Rome, for the sake of every elect soul in His true church of Israel, and for the sakes of literally all the elect who ever live throughout history. His Holy Spirit of God whispered each elect one’s name as He died on His cross, on that Roman instrument of terrorism and torture, to ensure that the death of His flesh would fully pay for each elect one’s lifetime of sins in the flesh. And Jesus knew, when He died for us, that we were all ruined sinners with dark and twisted hearts and minds. Yet Jesus also rose from the dead, to nullify the devil’s works in us, to rebuild our broken lives into abundant lives.
As for the false priests and fake pastors of that God-hating, humanistic, pagan church of Israel, God allowed them to rejoice in their victory against Him and His loving ways, for a moment. God let that fake church heap up condemnation against themselves for centuries before that day, and celebrating their victory over the Messiah sealed His wrath, eternally. That false church invited Satan’s fourth kingdom of Rome into God’s land of Israel in the first place, since they were humanists descended from Babylon, just like Rome. And every time they sought to be their own gods, like they did on that Passover day, they grew more obsessive and bound by enslaving compulsions. Every sin they did to save themselves, to rescue the deluding money and power which made the feel like gods, cast their whole souls into ever deeper and darker delusions, for their own everlasting self-destruction. They doomed their own flesh to a painful and humiliating Roman death through their own stupidity. And every smirk of victory over God and His loving ways drew hell’s darkness deeper into their hearts.
That fake Roman church of Jews doomed itself to utter destruction by the hands of the Romans they had been emulating. For God uses the human gods that a fake church worships falsely in His name to destroy it. God used Assyria to destroy the fake church of Israel when they took up Assyrian gods and practises. God used Babylon to destroy the fake church of Israel when they took up Babylonian gods and practises. And now God was going to use Rome to destroy that fake church of Israel, because they esteemed and served Roman human gods in Yahweh’s name, then practised Roman ways in opposition to God’s loving and just ways. From that Passover day onward, the speed at which that fake church fell into oppressive, dark delusions accelerated, until God sent Rome to utterly destroy and enslave them. Within a century, that fake church became a factious, unjust, violent, self-destructive instrument of Satan, who murdered one another and pagan Romans alike.
Meanwhile, God sent Satan’s fourth kingdom of Rome to slander, dehumanize, oppress, enslave, plunder and murder that humanistic fake church of Israel, year after year, for two generations. And Rome continues to persecute them to this day, since that fake Jewish church, and its spiritual clones among the Gentile fake “Christian” churches, have always refused to cast off their Roman human gods and practises, because none of their spirits worship the true God as their one and only Head Teacher and Lord. Nonetheless, just as elect souls are trapped in Satan’s secular fourth kingdom, there are many trapped elect souls remaining in Satan’s Roman fake churches, in both in the fake
“Jewish” and fake “Christian” churches. And the time of Christ releasing those elect from that dark deluded captivity has not yet arrived. Still, that time of freeing is coming, just before Jesus returns.
Now let those fake churches beware, and let the secular citizens of this current, factious, worldwide, secular, fourth kingdom of Satan, this universal empire of Rome and its demonic beast, also beware. For both kinds of citizens in the devil’s world order are heaping up God’s wrath for their own destruction. But God’s wrath will strike first against the false churches who slander His good, just and loving name upon the earth, although they are so proud of their refraining from some more overt sins, like adultery and murdering with their own hands, even as they commit greater sins of Page 1811
blasphemous spiritual adultery against God’s very Spirit, then murder millions through deliberate criminal negligence. Let those fake churches know that God sees their disguised sins. Though all the world might count them innocent, even good, the real Creator God will surely condemn them all.
“For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don’t obey the Good News of God? If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?” (I Pet. 4:17-18, WEB). God begins to pour out His wrath upon those who falsely claim to worship Him, even as they pervert and corrupt His words. God’s wrath against false churches is far worse than His wrath against pagan murderers, because they slander His name through their lies and sins, because they steal the knowledge of His real salvation from the hearts of so many duped elect. God shall destroy the fake churches first, because God will grant their captive elect souls a chance to hear His truth and repent into it. After He raises up His true church to expose those fake churches, but before He descends to rule the earth, Jesus will command Rome to burn those fake churches. For God will pull the elect out of those false churches just before His second advent, and free them into His true church. God will gather all the elect into His true church before He turns His wrath on all the secular liars and sinners. For the elect must be granted His spiritually safe kingdom to flee into before God begins His destruction of the wicked. But make no mistake, all deliberate liars and sinners will surely know how deadly God’s wrath can be, when He crushes the intentional injustice and ruthless arrogance against His people.
So, not only will lying sinners of all kinds be handed over to anxious delusions while living on this earth, but they also will be handed over to the eternal darkness of those same delusions in hell, yet will never again be able to find a moment of rejoicing in any supposed victories against God again.
Now, when Pilate saw how that rogue council had rigged his perverse, psychopathic, demoralizing election, this roused his superstitious fears within him, especially after his wife’s ominous dream about Jesus. So he resisted the plotting of the fake church. Besides, it seems that Pilate, as a kind of joke, chose to offer two prisoners with the same name, as candidates for a temporary freedom in his election. Both were called “Jesus,” or “Joshua” in English, or “Yeshua” in Hebrew. And both were accused of the same crime, rebelling against Rome. But Pilate, because His spies had reported the immense popularity of Jesus among the Jews, expected the people to choose the famous Healer and wise Teacher of life and faith, not the little-known murderer and thief who was called Barabbas, the
“son of Abba.” However, it proved impossible to reason with these dupes sent by that fake church.
“So, after [their] response, the governor said to them, ‘Which, from the two, do you people will
[that] I free for you?’ Yet they said, ‘Barabbas!’ Pilate reasoned with them, ‘Therefore, what should I do with Jesus, the one being called the Messiah?’ All kinds were declaring, ‘Let Him be crucified!’
So he was saying, ‘For what? Had He done evil?’ Yet they cried out all the more, reasoning, ‘Let Him be crucified!’ So Pilate, after seeing that nothing is being gained [through his efforts], but rather a disturbance is occurring [at the time], having poured water, he washed [his] hands in the presence of the crowd, reasoning, ‘I am not made guilty from this blood. You people take heed!’ And each kind responded. The people said, ‘His blood [is] upon us and upon our children!’ Then he freed Barabbas for them but, after lashing Jesus, he handed [Him] over so that He should be crucified”
(Mat. 27:21-26, from: ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἡγεμὼν εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Τίνα θέλετε ἀπὸ τῶν δύο ἀπολύσω ὑμῖν; οἱ δὲ εἶπαν· Τὸν Βαραββᾶν. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Πιλᾶτος· Τί οὖν ποιήσω Ἰησοῦν τὸν λεγόμενον χριστόν; λέγουσιν πάντες· Σταυρωθήτω. ὁ δὲ ἔφη· Τί γὰρ κακὸν ἐποίησεν; οἱ δὲ περισσῶς ἔκραζον λέγοντες·

Here we need to comprehend what happened and how Roman officials thought. Pilate faced a rogue council consisting of Israel’s two high priests, a number other authoritative priests and some of the most influential teaching and judging elders from the Pharisaic Evangelical sect and mainline sects of the false Jewish church. That rogue council met secretly during the Passover night and day, then called out their own right-wing supporters of their lies, so they could surreptitiously lead that crowd around the outskirts of Jerusalem to the west gate of Pilate’s palace, in order to rig a totally unjust Roman election (which was designed to demoralize their own people). These leaders of a humanistic false church, on the very day God commanded them to remember the freeing of their souls into His justice and truth, plotted to hand their God’s sinless body, their promised Messiah, over to their own pagan enslavers, the Romans, who were worse than the Egyptians whom God delivered them from on the very first Passover day. Not only that, but this council and their dupes, at the same time, also freed a criminal whom they knew to be a murderer and thief. Then the authoritarian, despotic and utterly ruthless Roman governor, Pilate, completely abdicated his duty to take responsibility for a just release of the innocent, and did not free our utterly holy God in a body of sinless flesh. Then this Pilate made a big show of washing his hands, thinking his symbolic physical ritual and words would serve as a magic sacrament to erase his obvious guilt for the sin he had not yet even committed. For Pilate, in the name of Roman humanists everywhere and in all time, then handed our God Jesus over to Roman soldiers under his command, ordering them to prepare the Messiah’s body for execution in the typical psychopathic Roman method of unjust justice through terrorism. That is, Pilate had his soldiers flay Jesus with cords designed to rip the skin off the back, in order to cause maximum pain, so that everyone watching would be horrified and cower before the ruthless authorities who did it.
What was seen that day was a lesson in corruption and cruelty repeated throughout history, and by Roman humanists more than by any other religion on earth. The theistic and secular worshippers of human gods, since the days of Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome, have brought more injustice, fake religion, torture, death and destruction to this earth than any other religion of the devil’s world order could ever possibly accomplish. Satan did indeed invent his world order’s most anti-God religion, when he created humanism, the worship of other human beings and self, in a way that dehumanizes all other human beings, in a way that promotes ruthless murder and slavery. Thus, as long as human beings remain the “lords” of their own lives and other human beings, so they can arrogantly make their own laws according to their own lusts of their own self-indulgent flesh, all of this psychopathic enmity against all that is real, true, just, pure and loving from God will continue throughout the earth, unabated and without limit. Only when the elect realize they are all merely infantile spirits in amoral and lawless bodies of flesh, then go to their holy, honest, just and loving God Jesus, to make Him their one and only Lord, their sole Teacher in all matters of life and faith, so they might learn His ways and begin to fulfill His Law, can any progress be made against humanistic delusions and lies. For the Creator God will only grant awakened elect disciples of Jesus His power to make their works effective, to nullify the works of the devil and, more importantly, to build up His own just, equitable, peaceful, strong, unbreakable, content, well-provisioned, flourishing and loving kingdom.
Mat. 27:27-37,
Secular Humanist Ways
“Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against Him. They stripped Him, and put a scarlet robe on Him. They Page 1813
braided a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and they kneeled down before Him, and mocked Him, saying, ‘Hail, King of the Jews!’ They spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head. When they had mocked Him, they took the robe off of Him, and put His clothes on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.
“As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry His cross. They came to a place called ‘Golgotha,’ that is to say, ‘The place of a skull.’ They gave Him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When He had tasted it, He would not drink. When they had crucified Him, they divided His clothing among them, casting lots, and they sat and watched Him there. They set up over His head the accusation against Him written, ‘THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS’” (Mat. 27:27-37, WEB).
Here is a manifestation of Roman teachings, ways, rules and laws. And all are precepts invented by Satan for his fourth kingdom, the most evil religion that his demonic spirit has ever inspired during the whole of mankind’s existence. So we need to comprehend a few doctrines of the philosophies, traditions, laws and rules of this humanistic religion Satan has caused people to believe, as well as their effects upon the nations, because that fourth kingdom of Rome still exists now and rules most of the world. It is still continuously striving to crucify the body of Jesus Christ, His true church. We must see what this event reveals about Roman humanism, and realize that all the apostles wanted the elect to recognize these evil reactions of this humanist religion to our Messiah. All the Gospels spoke of it, and all the New Covenant Scriptures referred to it, so our spirits could understand and guard against the bitter enmity of Roman humanism, which still attacks the eternal truths of our God Jesus.
To begin with, look at how a humanistic church member will state something like this: “God said it.
I believe it. That settles it.” Of course, the only ways a person could believe that all matters are settled by what one personally believes that God said is if that person refuses to hear two or more witnesses and their evidence, in the way God Himself commanded us to do, in the Law that Jesus fulfills in us and through us. And such a person believes oneself to be a god who can dismiss the evidence of other testimonies with some kind of delusional authority. So one who says such a thing is actually a religious humanist, and has no idea what the real God really said. This kind of person makes his or her stand on matters that he or she knows absolutely nothing about, yet thinks he or she is omniscient and right about all that he or she parrots from the pulpit of one’s own preferred church.
The only things this kind of humanist knows are what the humanly appointed human gods in his fake church has been telling him. And all those self-serving human gods hate everything that God actually said, because God’s truths condemn them. Instead, each human god constantly lies through his teeth, in ways that contradict and oppose the human gods of all the other false churches, so that his dupes do not defect and begin to worship the false human gods in those other fake churches. In fact, those human gods even physically war against other false churches. Some Catholic, Protestant and Muslim humanistic churches even kill one another. And all of their human gods jealously guard the spirits of their dupes against the real God too, lest any hear the real God’s Holy Spirit and begin to worship Him as their only Head Teacher and Lord. So, when the humanist declares that he believes the lies he heard about God, which his human gods preached, and proclaims that he deems all genuine evidence against those lies to be “fake news,” so he can utterly reject all inconvenient and humbling truths about God and everything else, that humanist is declaring that his spirit will faithfully worship only his human gods, and that he wilfully chooses to remain ignorant. That humanist proudly wars against the real Creator God, and has a whole-hearted commitment to stand with Christ’s murderers.
Page 1814
Mat. 27:27-37, Secular Humanist Ways
But the awakened elect state something like this: “I do not know all God said, but He has taught my wretched, perverted, sinful soul a few truths over the years. And I am beginning to recognize His voice, to distinguish the whisperings of His Holy Spirit from the voices of other spirits. So, when I take the time to worship Him straight from my spirit, and silence my ever-doubting flesh, He can humble me enough to believe those truths and repent into them, even enough to bear real fruits of repentance. But I must guard my weak spirit from succumbing to the lies and corruptions which flatter my flesh, lest I sin against my God and against my loved ones.” As you can see, what the awakened elect say is more complex and nuanced than what the humanist declares. Yet it is simple and true, while the simple statements of humanists hide a very complex and nuanced evil behind them, disguised as simple honesty. So the humanists wrote, “This is Jesus, King of the Jews,” which is simple and true. Yet this revealed a complex and nuanced hatred between the Roman pagans and Roman Jews. With those words, the pagans mocked both Jesus and the Jews who accused Jesus of claiming to be the Messiah and King of Israel, and proved that both were the enemies of that King.
Both pagan and Jewish Romans also proved that they hated God’s biblical teachings about justice as well. God’s true justice uses two methods of preserving and building up life on earth: (1) God’s Old Covenant written laws and ways which can be obeyed by non-elect minds of flesh, and limit or forbid destructive physical behaviours and maintain physical order in a society or community; and (2) God’s New Covenant motives and intentions, which He personally teaches only to the spirits of His awakened elect, so they learn to love justly and equitably, in the same way He loves, so they might truly fulfill the desires of their heavenly Father’s heart. And the second method is also briefly described by the first. That is, God’s New Covenant laws are outlined by His wise, just and fruitful Old Covenant laws. God teaches all these Old and New Covenant ways openly, for all to see, in His natural and spiritual creations. But only His awakened elect begin to see these realities, and start to understand the causes and effects of good and evil in His creations. The non-elect and, unfortunately, most of the elect, seldom see, think about, learn and inwardly guard those spiritual precepts of God manifested everywhere, all around in inside them. And even awakened elect spirits do not always remain awake, but fall asleep and let their flesh rule their lives for hours, days or even weeks at a time. But when those elect spirits are fully awake, they do think and act through love, for the good of all God’s living creations on earth. And only those awakened elect can do this, whenever the Holy Spirit of Jesus is teaching and training their spirits to love as He loves. Therefore, only the awakened elect are able to make truly just laws for the people, and judge them, to maintain true justice for all.
Every mature elect man must be able to look at the big picture of all existence, and know the real meaning of life. Every elect man must see all of humanity at once, and realize that he, and all with life on earth, will die in an extremely short time, in a time that is not even linear and in a space without any real distance at all. He must comprehend that the spiritual is far more real and solid than anything physical. And let no elect man forget that the purpose of life on earth is to teach and train the infantile spirits of humans, animals and plants to serve in the same way that God serves all of His living creations. Soon every worldly selfish ambition and lust will be crushed into dust, and none of it means anything. Yes, God created women to have more earthly concerns, to worry a little more about physical life, bearing children, food, clothing, shelter and other material needs. But elect men must step back and see that living only means something in the context of learning just, equitable love, the kind built on a foundation of both spiritual and physical realities and truths. And, although women are more easily distracted from these eternal spiritual principles, elect men in every family and community must build structures and frameworks for their families and communities, so women can function inside those parameters, in safety and with the ability to freely express the love of their Page 1815
elect spirits, through their thoughts and actions. Awakened elect men must stay alert and aware, so they can guard these truths of life with their lives, so the non-elect psychopaths do not destroy lives.
Of course, most of the elect and non-elect spirits on earth are lethargic and ignorant, not truly alive and awake. Most spirits of human beings see and learn very little, but remain in a semi-conscious state of “sleep.” Thus, most human souls concern themselves solely with rules and laws governing physical behaviours, and will even strive to find loopholes in these, so they will not need to obey or fulfill the “spirit” of those laws. Most never even try to learn the spiritual motives and intentions of any rules or laws. In fact, most only concern themselves with how certain specific laws can benefit their own flesh, without considering any of the spiritual reasons and long-term effects of the written or verbal rules and laws governing physical behaviours. All they care about is whether or not a law or judgment will personally benefit themselves, not whether a judgment might unjustly affect others.
This is how the non-elect spirits of that Roman-like rogue council of the Jews, and the Roman lords they joined in a temporary partnership of like minds and motives, were; materialist and asleep, or else awakened only by the deluding spirit of their hellish father, who was a liar and murderer from the beginning. And there were very few awakened and faithful elect there that day. Most of the elect men there that day had spirits which slept soundly, allowing psychopaths to take over the priesthood, to teach and judge through selfish ambitions. For even the elect, if they walk solely according to their minds of flesh, can easily be drawn into ruthless delusions of the flesh, like merciless greed, futile obsessions demanding the power to have others serve self, perversely exploitative lusts and all the other vile passions of the flesh. So, whenever the elect let their spirit sleep and ignore the voice of God, Satan’s children will overturn the ways of God manifested in His creations and by His Spirit.
Now let all elect men humble themselves before God, and realize that their spirits are ignorant little infants with extremely limited knowledge and power, and that their flesh is merely an amoral and easily duped instrument. Then let them keep their spirits awake and alert, always feeding on the truth from Jesus’ Holy Spirit. For, if elect men allow their spirits to sleep, and forfeit their responsibility to guard the truth, the greatest bullies among the non-elect will seize that opportunity to take over, so they can invent self-serving laws and traditions, so they can judge and exploit. Then the people’s only sense of justice will originate from the outer consciences, from concepts of right and wrong that those carnal sinners teach to their minds of flesh. Yet those man-made outer consciences will all actually be lies causing unjust sins, not true justice from God. For God is a Spirit, who only teaches elect spirits, who only builds up the eternal inner consciences in the minds of His own children’s spirits, who seldom ever speaks to minds of flesh. And all just laws of all kinds are built solely upon the foundation of truths which God lays on the inner consciences of His awakened elect. So, if only the non-elect and sleeping elect spirits serve as the priests, teachers and judges of a land, only the most ruthless, cheating, manipulating non-elect will take over. Then these will make evil laws and destroy everything and everyone. The further their laws stray from God’s motives and intentions for His land, the faster the land will fall. Eventually, aggressive psychopaths will rule all like gods, and violently perpetrate demonic injustice upon all, causing the total anihilation of their entire nation.
Sleeping human spirits somehow think they can maintain justice and good lives by inventing laws that govern only physical behaviours, and by forcefully enforcing those laws for their own physical benefits. They see no need to employ right spiritual motives and intentions as the guiding principles for all their laws. Since their sleeping spirits play no part in the law-making, judgments, enforcement or personal behaviours of the people, their laws contradict one another and build inequity, injustice and a total breakdown of faith in their justice systems. But, if there is no trust in the land’s justice, then all aspects of all lives will fail. The people will not serve one another through love and trust, but Page 1816
Mat. 27:27-37, Secular Humanist Ways
work only to survive, letting others starve and lack necessities which God’s land provides for all. If the justice system does not do its job, neither can the people. So the entire selfish, carnal, bitter, ruthless, divided, rebellious, chaotic, impoverished land will destroy itself and all that is within it.
All human beings have ignorant sleeping spirits, and only a few elect spirits have been partially awakened by God. So we, the blind, must not be so arrogant as to think our minds of flesh alone are capable of creating norms, rules or laws that can effectively provide justice. At most, we can observe what God created to be the best of ways, the laws which prove most effective and beneficial to all.
Then we can acknowledge our need for the Creator Spirit to train our spirits, and trust in Him to develop consistent, harmonious, just and equitable motives and intentions in the minds of our spirits, to guide our judgments and whatever is required to make and fulfill good laws. Above all, we must never treat any human beings as gods, then allow them to create and enforce self-serving laws for us.
We know a few facts of history. And we can all see what is happening in front of our eyes every day.
So surely a human being, with a room-temperature IQ or better, cannot possibly fail to see that the just kind of love, which God exemplified and taught in His Word, is the only critical consideration in all matters of life and faith. Literally all evidence, now and in the past, indicates that these ways of God, outlined in God’s Law and being fulfilled by Jesus Christ in and through us, are the only ways that can ever produce a just, equitable, free society, where all live in security with all their needs met.
Yet carnal souls, with sleeping spirits, remain so blind and gullible that psychopaths can easily trick them into thinking those intentional sinners have right and justifiable motives. Both the non-elect and the sleeping elect allow Satan himself to invent and enforce unjust and self-serving laws, then let that devil’s puppets judge according to those destructive laws, thinking this will save them. Even after everything they have seen in history, everything they now see, and everything they will ever see, proves that those opposing God’s just ways, and living solely by their minds of flesh, always end up causing death and destruction, they keep repeating the same mistakes, over and over again.
They keep allowing Satan’s most psychopathic children to form brutal hierarchies, so a deluded and foolish elite can oppress them through ruthless financial and military systems. And, although the devil’s children change the names and outward trappings of their hellish kingdoms, they are all the same, all easily recognizable as the same unjust systems which proved deadly and destructive in the past. Still, the foolish, sleeping, captive elect somehow still believe and trust the lying psychopaths.
I find it amazing how we, all human beings, can be so stupid. Even microscopic creatures without a brain are not as ignorant, foolish and self-destructive as humans. So now it is time for the elect to pray that God will wake up their spirits, then trust Him to teach and train their spirits. After we begin to be taught and trained, we will then have much work to do beside our oldest Brother. We will have many works of Satan to nullify, and God’s earthly kingdom must be served. We need to make laws that are truly wise and just, built on a spiritual foundation of real truths. And we must utterly nullify all humanistic hierarchical theocracies, even those of the atheistic secular humanists. To prepare for the return of our God Jesus, we must build lands where God is the only Head of all—where God, as He does in nature, grants the same providence, teachings, justice, rights and freedoms to the elect and to all the non-elect alike. If we do not let God reign over us, the carnal traditions, conventions, norms, rules and laws of Satan’s esteemed psychopaths will utterly destroy all our nations, churches, families and personal lives. Those loveless non-elect will try to make their destructive laws more strict, unjust and destructive each day, to appease the lusts for power in elite human gods, in futile attempts to save themselves. And, naturally, that invariably ends up hastening their own demise too.
Page 1817
Why, if a law does not personally affect one’s own body of flesh in a negative way, yet oppresses and even kills one’s own innocent siblings in humankind, does one refuse to question, reassess and oppose that law? Well, if one has a loveless non-elect spirit, such things are the standard operating procedures and expected. But surely those with elect spirits, if they take the time and effort to do a little research and evaluate each law, regulation or tradition, would judge against and oppose any and every kind of unjust and inequitable law. Surely the hearts of the elect would not stand for any law which is incompatible with the loving, wise, just principles that God’s Spirit reveals to their elect spirits. Yet, instead, the amoral minds of flesh in most of the elect focus solely upon the perceived physical advantages of those unjust precepts, then oppose God’s teachings found in His spiritual and material creations, and in His Word. For Satan’s world order keeps the spirits of those elect asleep, and focuses their minds of flesh on myriads of things of the flesh, on what they need to earn money for necessities and pleasures, so those elect will live empty, futile, meaningless lives for their flesh.
When an elect spirit is asleep, and a precept benefits one in physical ways, one does not care whether it is good or evil, not even when one clearly sees that the carnal precept is destroying other souls and the rest of God’s creations. But no precepts can be rightly judged by the flesh. The fact remains that all rules, laws and behaviour-guiding principles, whether made by minds of flesh or by the minds of spirits, always bear either evil or good spiritual implications and effects. All laws are morally and spiritually created and activated. All are either loving or loveless. Therefore, all must be assessed, judged, enforced and acted upon by the motives and intentions of spirits. All laws and principles govern actions that are ultimately spiritual decisions based on love or lovelessness. Morals and laws never originate from the amoral minds of flesh. Only spiritual considerations, either good or evil, produce all the good or evil laws, which then produce the physical and spiritual effects in the lives of the people. Minds of flesh do nothing which is either good or evil, nothing loving or loveless. So all laws are made and enforced entirely through spiritual motives and intentions, for spiritual reasons.
Evil spirits make evil laws which produce bad effects. Awakened elect spirits make laws according to God’s teachings in their hearts, good laws which produce good effects. And all that makes one either guilty or innocent comes from motives and intentions of the spirit. Not one behavioural motive or intention from the flesh can make anyone either guilty or innocent. So literally all judgments of good or evil, and all the laws which enforce good or evil, consist entirely of spiritual determinations.
Consider how a physical thing, like a rock or a living body of human flesh, possesses no qualities that can be called either good or evil. Thus, both the rock and human body are equally valuable. One is no more precious than the other, since “value” is a moral and spiritual concept. And both are mere physical things consisting of energy existing within material space and time. So no more value can be attributed to one temporary physical thing than the other. This also means that absolutely nothing done to or by either physical thing can ever be called good or evil. For good and evil are moral or spiritual concepts which cannot relate to physical things. Besides, no matter what is done to physical things, literally all the energy in them will remain extant, and only their forms will be altered. Then, even if one physical thing destroys another, the destroying physical thing is simply doing what the laws of nature cause it to do. So there is nothing morally and spiritually wrong or right about one physical thing causing the destruction of another, since both will continue to exist, no matter what is done to them. Only physical changes occurring because a spirit intentionally caused them are either good or evil, never alterations caused by pure natural forces which merely transform the state of the material thing’s matter and energy. Besides, changes must occur in all material things to define time.
Even a living physical thing killing another living thing for food is moving time along in the material space-time continuum, and nothing is evil about causing time to pass. Consequently, since nothing Page 1818
Mat. 27:27-37, Secular Humanist Ways
done by or to a rock, and nothing done by or to human flesh, can be either good nor evil. Morality is does not exist in either thing. Love, order and survival are totally irrelevant to all physical entities.
A rock or human body cannot destroy another rock or human body through a motive or intention that could ever be assessed or judged to be either good or evil. Both the rock and the human body are merely bundles of energy reacting to material causes and effects. To attribute either good or evil to anything, we must attribute either good or evil motives and intentions to it, and those motives and intentions cannot be caused by natural forces, must not originate from physical causes like nature or nurture. Good or evil motives and intentions must come from a source existing outside the material space-time continuum, since absolutely nothing physical can possibly function outside of the laws governing the physical, and absolutely no “laws of nature” suggest anything that is morally good or evil. For the entire material existence is simply a bunch of energy dispersing into a state of entropy.
Absolutely nothing material can possibly have a will that can be deemed to be either good or evil.
Therefore, if only the physical universe exists, then the living beings in it cannot call anything good or evil, right or wrong, moral or immoral. If a criminal murders the loved ones of a materialistic atheist, who believes nothing exists except the material universe, that atheist could never demand any kind of justice against that criminal, nor even suggest the criminal was wrong to murder his loved ones. For, if nothing but the physical exists, murders will actually, rationally and realistically be caused by nature and nurture, not by any moral or spiritual motives and intentions, not by things that can be judged to be either good or evil. So the murder of loved ones should make literally no difference to the atheist. To be consistent, the murders of his loved ones should mean no more to him than a rock falling from a cliff and breaking to pieces on the other side of the planet. For, if nothing exists except the material, that man’s love is a mere delusion in his brain of flesh, and so is justice.
All he perceives to be “love” is simply a series of chemical reactions in his brain of flesh, causes and effects which actually mean nothing more than the water rusting his garden tools. His “love” is just accidentally triggering irrational thoughts and unreal motives in his brain of flesh. So, if that man is mildly upset about a brutal, ruthless murder of his loved ones, he should tell himself that his love for them is fake, is just a series of stored chemical reactions in his physical brain, then dismiss any idea of judging the criminal in any way. For any kind of judgment is not logically and scientifically true, is not acknowledging the physical causes and effects that produced the murder through the murderer.
But materialists, who think nothing exists except the material universe, never do that. And the reason is that even atheists have spirits, and their spirits scientifically observe the effects of spirits. That is, their minds of flesh know that the minds of their spirits judge between good and evil. Even non-elect spirits, much less elect spirits, were granted a basic discernment between good and evil. God gave the non-elect this ability so they could be condemned without excuse. And God gave the elect this same ability to discern between good and evil so they could build up good and nullify evil. Have you ever seen a professing materialist let criminals murder them or anyone anyone else without judging those murders to be evil, wrong and unjust, without the slightest concern about whether or not they themselves or anyone else might live or die? Yet, if they truly believed what they say they believe, a cold-blooded murder of their loved ones should never bother them at all, after they are enlightened by their materialistic atheism. Rather, their “rational” belief in materialistic atheism should free them from all love, let them treat love a mere delusion, including the love of themselves. In fact, not one materialist should ever be concerned about their own pain, pleasures or deaths, nor the destruction of the entire world. For the energy in the physical matter of all life in the entire world, including their loved ones and themselves, will always be preserved, until the universe reaches a state of entropy. So Page 1819
all materialistic atheists are totally irrational if they think that laws, justice or love hold any kind of value for mere physical entities like rocks, pond scum, trees, house cats, pet dogs or human beings.
Yet we know that human beings can destroy even a mere rock for evil purposes, through evil motives and intentions. If a man intentionally blew up a carefully chosen rock over a cliff to cause a landslide which crushes an entire village of living souls, because he hated the village and he wanted revenge against them, we call that evil. Now, if the man had no evil motives and intentions, if he had no spirit that we could judge, if he was exactly like a robot with a naturally caused glitch in the programming of his brain, then we could not call his murder of the entire village evil. There would be nothing evil that originated from that pure material entity called a man. So we would seek no justice. Rather, we would reason that the destruction of the village was an accident, no more evil than lightning striking the rock which caused the landslide. Those deaths involved nothing we could call either good or evil.
But is it simply nature and nurture which causes a man to blow up a rock which causes a landslide, so he can intentionally kill an entire village? For what harm did he do? According to materialists, all he did was simply change of the state of energy in the hunks of flesh belonging to the people in that village. All the bodies of physical flesh will rot and return to nature, with virtually no loss of energy in the material universe. So nothing was lost when he intentionally killed those children, women and men in that village. And a change in a state of energy is simply time, nothing that anyone can judge to be either good or evil. What that man did through chemical reactions in his brain, producing what we call revenge, was exactly the same as an accident. But, if he accidentally broke the rock, although he was practising due diligence and had entirely good intentions, then cried out in extreme anguish and horror after seeing the resulting landslide kill those innocent people, no sane person would judge him to be evil or guilty. So, just because the man intentionally caused the landslide, and gleefully laughed as he saw those children, women and men scream and die, it logically means nothing to a true materialist, since they do not believe in anything spiritual. If their is no spirit in any man, the materialist cannot judge a man to have “evil” motives, not even a man who intentionally caused the deaths of multiple living souls. Nor can a materialist call it a tragedy, since all energy is preserved.
Even if a man destroyed the entire earth with nuclear bombs, materialist cannot say it was bad at all.
Yet it is important to us when a landslide kills a whole village. We all want to know whether or not it was a deliberate sin committed by another human being. Even some materialistic atheists irrationally concern themselves with judgments against intentional, deliberate, premeditated murder, although none can ever adequately explain why. Only those who believe in a personal Creator God, and that spirits dwell in all living organisms, can possibly provide a reason for defining behaviours as either having good or evil motives and intentions. Thus, if the deaths in a whole village were actually an unavoidable accident caused by a deeply regretful man who had been practising due diligence, we would empathize with him, feel sorry for him. We would not judge him to be evil, nor guilty of any crime. Then, if it was an accident caused by unintentional negligence, we would only attribute some guilt to him, but not nearly as much as we would if he was wilfully negligent due to something like greed. Yet, if a man deliberately caused the landslide, to intentionally murder those people, we would definitely call him evil and demand justice, to prevent him from ever doing anything like that again.
Also consider how we judge an animal or nature causing a landslide that kills a village. We call it a tragedy, but blame no one. Yet we only call it a tragedy because the lives of spirits in the people who died are no longer with us, no longer on this earth, no longer able to be loved while we remain here, no longer able to be taught and trained by the Spirit of our Creator. Yet, if they all rose from the dead into perfectly healed and whole bodies of flesh, so they could walk among us again, we would not mourn nor call the loss of that village a tragedy. Rather, we would all rejoice, although the material Page 1820
Mat. 27:27-37, Secular Humanist Ways
things in that town, such as the buildings and possessions, had all perished and could never be recovered. And the reason for that rejoicing, in spite of the material losses, is once more because we all know that spirits dwell in those people. We attribute guilt or innocence, grieve or rejoice, all because of the spirits in people. There is no other reason. For, materialistically, no energy is lost when a living person or creature dies. The only loss we feel is entirely spiritual, not material at all.
Now, what about a man who merely witnessed a landslide which killed an entire village, but could do anything in time to to stop it or even warn the people. We would not blame him for the deaths of the villagers, nor make any moral judgments against him, and no just laws of God would condemn him either. Thus, if vigilantes came to condemn that man, and they killed him merely because he witnessed the accident, we would call those vigilantes evil and unjust, then condemn and punish them. For we would say their vengeful motives and intentions were evil. Thus, a whole village died, yet we would justly release the witness from all guilt, but we would justly judge and condemn a whole gang of people for murdering just one man. In physical, materialistic terms, this makes no sense, since absolutely nothing that anyone did, intentionally or not, can ever be called wrong at all.
Therefore, since nothing done to physical entities can ever possibly be wrong, or even irrational, yet all humans, and even animals, consider some actions done to physical things to be wrong or merely irrational, especially actions that cause living physical bodies to become inanimate physical bodies, then all life must be judging by something non-material or spiritual in them. The only reason we ever even make moral judgments must be because something non-material dwells inside us, some kind of spiritual entity with thoughts and a mind, as well as a voice which communicates its thoughts and its judgments to our brain of flesh. All life must possess internal entities from a realm which is not physical. All must have spirits indicating whether or not a behaviour is good or evil, right or wrong, just or unjust. And spirits who do this judging determine whether a deed is good or evil according to the motives and intentions of the spirits who did the deeds. Spirits judge the motives and intentions of other spirits, to determine if a deed was done through the motives of love or hate, to accomplish something good, neutral or evil. And all that causes us to pursue either good or evil, right or wrong, justice or injustice, originates from a completely different space-time continuum, from a realm that is governed by totally different laws, from a place that is not physical. This is, the material creation must be a subset of a greater immaterial existence, and both realms interact with one another. But the spiritual realm must be greater than the material realm, because the spiritual judges and affects the material realm, but the material neither judges nor affects the spiritual realm. Only the spiritual determines the values, reasoning and morality in the physical. Everyone who intentionally does either good or evil must possess an immaterial entity within him or her, an entity that we call a spirit.
Actually since even all animals, all plants and all other forms of life actively pursue the continuation of life, and some living entities even pursue the fulfilling of precepts that are definitely not related to any laws of this material universe, then do only what is deemed to be good, right and just by their own kind, in a way that must be defined as some kind of non-material (i.e., spiritual) morality and sometimes must even be called love or hate, we must conclude that all living things have spirits. The only difference between humans and other living entities on earth is that man can intentionally do evil, while all the other living things can only do what their spirits deem to be the spiritual laws that govern and guide the behaviours of their kind—in a way that makes them all innocent of any kind of evil. So we see spirits in all living entities, affecting their drive to survive, reproduce and engage in certain kinds of behaviours which clearly are not all physical and not all governed by the amoral laws of the material universe. There is definitely something non-material in all life, an empirically observable influencer which is not a part of this physical space-time continuum. And all human Page 1821
spirits are capable of seeing and knowing this, even Satan’s psychopathic children who enjoy the feeling of being a god whenever they are able to steal the spirits of life from God’s living entities. So this is why, if a man’s spirit deliberately chooses to destroy a rock, in order to cause a landslide that kills an entire village, and does it through vengeful motives and intentions, we call his actions evil.
Even the non-elect psychopaths know such things are evil, and know “good” people will condemn them, although psychopaths do equally evil deeds themselves, if they are able to get away with them.
Now some will say the mind of flesh simply developed delusional mechanisms through evolution, which cause a will to live, even a will to value other human beings, since we need others to survive.
But, of course, this assigns motives and intentions to the energy in atoms and molecules, thinking that material energy would somehow want to create life, or has some kind of propensity to create life. And that is just plain dumb, totally irrational. Nature has no will nor propensity to do anything, not even to exist itself. Rather, some kind of non-material energy is causing material energy to exist, and only temporarily, because what created and causes material energy also forced it to obey the laws of entropy, compelling material energy to expand and dissipate into complete disorder. So, only if material existence had a non-material Creator, a Spirit with a will, with His own motives and intentions to create life, could life develop any motives and intentions to survive, even in a ways where all living entities form harmonious and balanced existences in finely tuned living ecosystems.
If a human brain of flesh, which has developed self-consciousness, continues to delude itself so it can define behaviours as either good or evil, based strictly on survival instincts, through mere genetic influences which developed into learned cultural evaluations of “good” and “evil,” then let those materialists snap themselves out of that delusion. If they want to believe that all concepts of good or evil are unreal and that nothing spiritual exists, let them be consistent with their beliefs. Let them stop judging against those who steal their possessions or kill them. Let them stop teaching anything, since all is a meaningless delusion and a living human being is no more valuable than a pebble in the dirt. If they insist that all good and evil is a product of environment and evolutionary processes, even while they empirically observe their own spirits either hate or love either evil or good, let them denounce any and every possibility of logic or science, since nothing that anyone can possibly think is no more logical than casting a dice, and we cannot trust our senses to do any kind of rational study like science does. If they want to ignore the empirical evidence of spiritual effects in our lives, then they have no honesty nor ability to engage in any kind of true science whatsoever.
It is not the strictly governed, balanced and tightly limited material time, space and energy, which is obviously finely tuned and deeply designed by some kind of external and non-material entity with a genius mind, that possesses the motives and intentions of a thinking will, then designed and shaped our thinking, so that we now discern between good and evil. It is not the nature of rocks, nor the atoms and molecules in them, which has caused us to think in terms of right and wrong, good and evil, just and unjust, or loving and unloving. And it is no accident that humans who preferred what God’s Word calls right, good and just have thrived while those how preferred what God’s Word calls wrong, evil and unjust have not only destroyed other human beings and other living entities, but also themselves. And, if all history proves that those who develop just, equitable, loving societies fair far better than unjust, hierarchical and loveless societies, then which kind lives rationally in reality? And is the circular reasoning used by materialists truly rational? When materialists justify their sexual exploitation and other sins by arrogantly declaring that, because spirits do not exist, spirits do not exist, and good or evil therefore does not exist, should we call them rational and scientific? Are they not irrational if they deliberately blind themselves to massive amounts of empirical evidence which Page 1822
Mat. 27:27-37, Secular Humanist Ways
prove the existence of good and evil, which prove that all such concepts simply must come from a non-material source, and must be acted upon by non-material entities that dwell in physical entities.
All life must have spirits. But materialists refuse to believe this because their own spirits want to worship themselves, in an evil way. Their moral spirits intentionally delude themselves into thinking they can control their futures, even when science has proved that those futures already exist and are entirely predestined, even when the laws of physics proving predestination also proves that the will of a non-material Creator must have had some purpose in His mind when He caused all predestined existence to exist. These stubborn souls will tolerate any evil precepts and loveless deeds that steal life from other human beings, and from other living creatures, if they think those evil and loveless precepts or deeds might personally benefit them in some way, either potentially or actually. They will put up with any kind of crime or sin, in order to appease the desires of their flesh. Only if they believe that a precept or action might cause a negative personal consequence for their own flesh, will the spirits within them shout, “That is evil! Let a god save me, lest I perish!” But, other than that, most non-elect and elect materialists lock their spirits up in their own hearts, to prevent those dull, semi-conscious spirits from uttering a single word of moral reasoning in the chambers of their souls.
However, neither science nor philosophy have ever been able to even suggest that there is any kind of rational, logical, real, objective and empirically proven way to justify the classification of any material behaviour as being either good or evil. For nothing breaks the laws of nature, and physical energy is always preserved regardless of we do. In physical terms, nothing can ever be either right or wrong, just or unjust. And, although love and hate, which motivates all that everyone classifies as either good and evil, usually bears at least some physical effects, there is absolutely no empirical evidence of any other kind, from any physical creations, that can ever identify any physical causes for either love or hate. Neither love nor hate have any genetic or environmental causes at all. Love and hate have absolutely nothing to do with either nature nor nurture. Some learn to love while others learn to hate in exactly the same circumstances, and each independently of inherited genes.
According to the scientific studies of biological life, one person can become a psychopath and the other become a deeply loving person even if both have almost identical genetics and experiences in life. Each person learns to love or hate regardless of circumstance or breeding, although the ability to outwardly express love or hate through a body of flesh can be affected by both nature and nurture, since the expression of a spirit’s love or hate, through the physical body, does depend on the culture, language and reasoning abilities of a physical brain. Logically, science can never find any real physical or material reason for love or hate, good or evil, justice or injustice. There cannot possibly be any reason to even differentiate between life and death, since all physical bodies are merely hunks of energy and no more valuable to the material universe than rocks or vacuums in space. So the only reason we could want to live, or value any other lives, must be non-material, that is, spiritual. We live solely because of and through the love and hate in our spirits. That is, our spirits define all our concepts good and evil, all justice and injustice, in entirely spiritual terms, never in physical terms.
Even the survival of any and all life on earth, either human or otherwise, means absolutely nothing, is neither good nor evil, that is, if all existence is purely physical. For altering a body of any living organism, human or otherwise, into a dead organism, still preserves every milligram of physical substance and energy within that organism. Whether something is living or dead, whether it feels any pleasure or pain, is totally irrelevant, that is, if all existence is physical and nothing is spiritual. If all living organisms are purely physical, we are all just like rocks, and have absolutely no physical reason to keep our organisms alive. In fact, since some living organisms experience unpleasant feelings in life, and all pleasant feelings are mere delusions, it is better for all living organisms to be Page 1823
dead, to become unfeeling inorganic materials again—that is, if there is nothing which originates from a non-material space-time continuum functioning according to laws that are very different from the laws of this material space-time continuum. If nothing is spiritual, there is no reason for morals or laws. The laws of nature in this material space-time continuum provide absolutely no justification for the preservation of any kind of life, and no purpose for living at all. Yet there is a very important thing we must note about this material space-time continuum, that it has very precise and stable laws which govern the whole of it, and those laws of nature were purposefully designed to enable all life.
Logically, since this material universe is being governed by a plethora of interacting harmonious and immutable laws which intentionally enable life to exist, and something compelling life to live exists in literally all living organisms, some kind of entity inside each living physical body motivates it to live, and even provides each living entity with a purpose, to serve its ecosystem of other life forms.
Thus, we must conclude that each living entity has a spirit originating from an external space-time continuum, from a realm where there are very different laws governing its existence, laws which define and delineate all the values that each life bears. Each living entities role in its highly complex ecosystem, must have been designed by a spirit of life. And all morals we possess and pursue, all our concepts of good and evil, all that defines right and wrong or justice and injustice, all that we call love or hate, is immaterial and must come from a non-material or spiritual realm. Then our spirits, which all come from and dwell in that spiritual realm, know some of those laws from that realm.
Rationally and scientifically, we have no choice but to conclude that a non-material realm provides all living organisms of all kinds with love and hate, with self-sacrificing reasons to live, since all life does all according to non-material laws, and none of this love or hate can possibly originate from this material universe. The non-material realm obviously interacts with this material universe, and the material universe was clearly designed to enable the existence of living physical bodies. Yet no part of this physical space-time continuum provides any reason for any life to maintain its existence as a living organism. And none of the laws by which this physical realm functions can ever support any value for life, cannot even begin to produce either love or hate, and cannot justify any concepts of good or evil, right or wrong, justice or injustice. There is no material reason for any moral laws or rules of any kind, not for any kind of life to physically exist. Therefore, all legal and moral precepts relate only to the kinds of substances and energy found in a non-material space-time continuum. The non-material spirits in living physical bodies provide them with literally all motives or intentions to do everything they do, both for each entity’s own survival and the survival of each one’s own living ecosystem. Spirits uphold and enforce intangible precepts which preserve and improve upon all life.
All we see, hear, touch, taste and smell, all we can measure and define, all written in all existence, tells us that the one and only rational explanation for the will to live, either through motives of love or hate, indicate that all living organisms have a part of their beings which originates from a non-material space-time continuum, from a realm which functions according to laws that require love and hate as aspects of that realm’s existence and continuation. All living organisms love or hate other spirits because all spirits come from a realm which functions by love or hate, good or evil, from a realm which has “laws of nature” requiring these particular kinds of spiritual energy for its existence, in the same way the material space-time continuum has “laws of nature” to govern its own kinds of physical energy within its own kind of space and time for its own existence. Each realm has different laws to maintain its own functioning and to fulfill its own purposes. And each has purposes too, for neither the spiritual nor the physical could possibly continue to exist as an accident, not without its own well-defined and balanced laws to maintain its existence. Each realm has it own intended and well-defined purpose, with specific laws designated by a thinking, planning, intelligent Creator. And Page 1824

this is why the materialistic, evolutionary, genetic and environmental explanations of love and hate, good and evil, justice and injustice have always been so very irrational, stupid and utterly laughable.
All human beings and all living organisms submit to and enforce rules and laws from a realm which is clearly not this material space-time continuum. Then all laws and rules of all living entities, both those of human beings and those of all other living organisms (even mindless bacteria), are designed solely to enable or promote their will to live. All our human laws are based on our wills to live, as well as our wills to love or to hate other human spirits and non-human spirits, such as God, angels, animals, Satan and demons. All life consists of interacting spirits, and every life has a spirit which governs the love, hate and moral concepts which its physical body serves. And each spirit clearly obeys laws and rules governing the ways of a spiritual realm, not the laws of this material realm. All living entities function and strive to survive as their spirits relate to other spirits and follow entirely spiritual laws of a spiritual realm. Every living organism has a spirit which conducts its life by the consistent and harmonious laws of a spiritual realm, where each spirit relates to the Spirit of the Creator or God, as well as to other spirits on earth and in the spiritual realm. All evidence proves that all works of literally all living organisms are entirely spiritual, even their physical works for survival.
Absolutely no works of living organisms are purely physical, not even the works of keeping the heart beating and the lungs breathing. For the material universe makes no distinction between the living and the dead, between the organic and inorganic. Since physical energy is the same in the living as it is in the dead, and is equally preserved in both, there is absolutely no material reason to maintain the life in oneself. Thus, even keeping oneself alive is for spiritual reasons, not for any kind of physical reasons. Thus, all living organisms, except some human beings, are always labouring for the good of all life on earth, as each living entity performs whatever tasks God has commanded its spiritual life to perform. And, whenever living entities fulfill these tasks in their appointed environments and ecosystems, all life there thrives. Only some human spirits and demonic spirits, the deluded kinds who want to be gods that invent their own laws to control other lives in ways to benefit their own selfish purposes, are the only kinds of life which actually labour against life, and actually work for destruction, in opposition to life. But literally all other spirits live solely for love, justice and life.
Then this implies that there are ways in which human spirits are clearly different from the spirits governing all other living organisms on earth. Only human spirits are able to sin in opposition to the laws of the spiritual realm, then even try to invent their own spiritual laws and religions. No other living organisms have spirits that would ever dare to do such things, because the spirits giving life to all other organisms are very pragmatic and direct in their motives or intentions. All other creatures on earth simply follow the subset of spiritual laws their Creator wrote upon both the minds of their spirits and in the minds of their flesh. No other life on earth or in the spiritual realm can sin. God designed and created their wills to simply do whatever He causes their own wills to do, without any real discernment between good and evil, without any motives or intentions that can possibly deviate from their created purposes. Only humans, through their sins and vain attempts to create their own spiritual laws as wanna-be gods, have collectively thrown the laws of all other forms of earthly life into disarray, in ways that produce much death. And even most of the elect refuse to define their lives by willingly emulating God’s own interpretation of His own spiritual principles, in the ways that their heavenly Father made them able to do, by granting them discernment of good and evil.
Now remember, God reveals His attributes, preferences and ways in all of His spiritual and natural creations, then also reveals His harmonious spiritual precepts in the words He caused awakened, honest and faithful elect souls to record in their native languages, according to the concepts He granted them and with the editing provided by His Spirit. So, in its original languages, the Bible is Page 1825
