THE ENEMY IS WITHIN YOU: THE MIND

The people of Israel had become unclean inside and out. Their flesh had “putrefied” in a spiritual sense, “From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment” (Isa 1:6). The people were lepers in the eyes of God. Their flesh was rotting, not in reality, but symbolically.

In modern times, people have rotted from head to toe. Like the dead man Lazarus that Jesus resurrected, the people of Judah and Jerusalem stank. People nowadays stink as well because mankind is still decaying. Glorious Adam-kind, because of sin, had rotted by the time of Isaiah and they continue to rot. Their decay was not biological but spiritual. The body, just a vessel for their souls, was cracked and the righteous Spirit had seeped out just as any fluid might do. That is just a “shadow” of what it has become today!

So many people now identify what they are not. Men couple with men as if they are women, and women couple with women as if they are men. Same-sex marriage is now legal here and many places around the globe. Mankind has decayed since God reproduced man in the Image of Himself; now so many are nothing more than images of the Wicked One.

Mankind is so decadent and rotten that they are not even men and women any longer. They imagine themselves transexuals, homosexuals, gender fluidic, gender neutral, and all sorts of LBGT+.

In this age, mankind is putrefied from toe to head as well; even more so, because the rot comes all the way from the mind.

Like the people of Isaiah’s Judah, “the whole head is sick” (Isa 1:5). The oncology of their decadence was their minds, and the “cancers” were revealed in their fleshes. They did anything they could imagine, and still do, and as such their fleshes became cancerous, morally speaking. The people then were consumed with their imagination and their vessels became as decadent as their imaginations.

Our genesis was from the Image of God, but now it is whatever the minds of sinners can imagine. Adam was a made a ‘Shadow” of God, but now his kind are the enlightened ones of Lucifer.

Now is as in the days of Noah when, “God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the Earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Gen 6:5). It was very much the same in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. It is very much the same in the days of Clinton, Obama, and Biden.

From the creation of the world, people have degenerated; Paul wrote to the Romans, “(they) became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened” (Rom 1:21).

What is vain about imagining things. Imaginations are lusts. People get pleasure, like Pavlov’s dog, not necessarily by real things, but whatever it is that they imagine.

Fornication, for instance, is literally “porno” (pornea in the Greek.) Porno is like the bell ringing in the ears of Pavlov’s dog; it solicits juices even when no meat is forthcoming. Fornication is one example of vain imaginations; imagining that you are whatever your mind tells you is the ultimate vanity.  

Isaiah was so right saying that they “were sick in the head.” The minds of mankind have been dying since the beginning of time, and all the while, people think they are the most wise and intelligent generation ever.

This generation are “sheep.” We see it very often.

In a banana republic in the movie, “Bananas,” the new dictator demanded that people were to wear their underwear over their outerwear, and they did just that!

During the pandemic, the mandator said to wear masks and without question people even used socks as masks. Then they mandated that you wear two masks, and voila, many wore two masks! Next, they mandated that you take a vaccine that was not a vaccine and the “sheep” stood in line to get their imaginary vaccinations.

Extremists do that to control naïve people. The young people, mostly women, have the malady of Eve. Some wicked people say, “Jews are for genocide of the Palestinians,” and despite the opposite — the truth — they chant in unison whatever slogan they are told to chant.

People have become “sheep” from head to toe. However, they are not sheep, but young wolves in sheep’s clothing, meaning that they are shepherded by the wolves as gullible sheep would be.

Wherever Isaiah looked, God showed him decadence. Wherever we look, there is decadence.

To aid in their vain imaginations, drugs are taken to control the mind. While the “sheep” think they are enlightened, darkness prevails. Drugs, including marijuana and alcohol, induce vain imaginations, allowing people to believe what they are not. You are unsafe unless God is in charge of your minds, but all the while drug-induced ‘sheep” follow the “wolves” to their deaths.

Many are dying from drugs and such, and the world merely watches them die. They are dying in pursuit of vain imaginations, to wit: “And the lusts of their father, the Devil, they will do” (John 8:44).

The “sickness” is not really of the flesh but of the head, just as Isiaah informed the decadent Jews. The sickness — issues of the blood… genetic sin — is in the head. People instinctively, like the beasts, do whatever they want to do.

All Satan does is display flesh and people lust. Then lust — vain imaginations — lead to outright sin: James wrote, “When lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death” (Jas 1:15). That was what Isaiah was thinking when God told him that the Jews had a “sickness in the head.” He was speaking of lust.

Every effect has a cause. The effect is death, and the cause is lust. We are like beasts, even the tame dog. Men “salivate” from their most unholy flesh, even if it is circumcised. It was never the flesh that was the root cause, but the mind. People must exercise self-control to prevent being controlled. As the ‘Prince of the Power of the Air,” Satan controls us through our minds. He never tosses us a bone to chew on, but only imaginary encounters with fresh meat. We may get a hag all the while a beautiful siren is in the mind! (Lust can be warded off by ignoring the outward beauty to look at the “beasts” within.)

Our fleshes are still rotting despite the words of Isaiah. It is because our minds are decadent. To save our souls, our minds must be protected.

Abraham’s name means “Shield.” His seed were to have shielded minds, but Abraham’s genetics as a “shield” was not efficacious; a better new improved shield was required.

The blood of Jesus was the genetic shield and God provided Calvary — “The Cranium” — to shield our minds. Calvary was the last “shield” that God would provide. None of the other Covenants would do; the Covenant of Grace finished the work of God to keep us safe from the thoughts of our minds.

Our minds are our enemies, but they can be our friends. It is basically with whom we keep company.

Right now, I am thinking the Thoughts of God. The Word is my shield! It is me, “taking the shield of faith, wherewith you (I) shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked” (Ephes 6:16).

Try it; it works. Use faith. The study of scripture — the Word — strengthens faith, and once faith is increased, the mind is safe from thoughts of pleasure… and content with the promise of better things.

Many have wondered how Satan got into the Garden. Maybe he wasn’t right there in the Garden but outside the entryway (Gen 3:24). As “Prince of the Power of the Air,” his words may have gotten into the mind of Eve through her thoughts. Then Eve relayed her thoughts to Adam in words and his mind wandered.

No wonder Cain ended up in the “Land of Nod” — a non-existent imaginary place that he wandered to.

Eve needed not to touch the Tree nor the Knowledge from it (Gen 3:3). The so-called Serpent just emanated its thoughts to Eve from some distance outside the Garden. That remains the M.O. of Satan to this day! The Serpent got into her flesh through her mind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ON TIME BEFORE TIME AND AFTER

The man stood patiently in the concourse where American Airlines Flight 731 was taxiing down the taxiway. The man looked at his watch and thought to himself, It is on time.

Thoughts are not usually in quotation marks, but italics because they are not words that were said. Most communication is by cognition, in our thoughts. If thoughts are expressed in words, time is slowed to almost a halt. Everyone knows the duration of time when some blabbermouth speaks at an assembly because one hour seems as if it is a day or more!

The average speaking rate is 140-180 words per minute. A listener can comprehend as much, maybe more — around 400 words per minute (Romig 2015).

In my book, The Skull of Adam, much of the speech was in thought-speech. I believe that it was the original language of the heaven and the cosmos. Much of what I wrote in angelic conversations was in italics to designate both the savings of time and that they did not speak in words but thoughts.

As John wrote, Jesus is the Word of God (John 1:1-14). The Word is written in Holy Scripture. People read at an average rate of 200-250 words per minute (Nowak 2018). Therefore, the Word of God in written form — scripture — is mainly for two reasons: (1) a written Will until the end of time, and (2) so that all generations are opportune to think about God NOW!

Now for my point: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was built in 2021 and has been sending back pictures of the cosmos since that time. It is equipped with infrared cameras to see things that the human eye cannot see. Not only that, but since it photographs from space, there is no interference because space is a vacuum except for the heavenly bodies.

The telescope is much larger than the Hubble Telescope on Earth, so it is closer to the objects and the objects seem even closer because of the giant lens. The pictures reverse time in a manner. Because JWST brings things closer to the cameras, the object is seen before it is now at the present. If telescopes were even larger, as they race nearly as fast as the speed of light from the telescope, the image would be even closer than JWST. The larger the telescope the clearer the objects are seen, and they are seen before the present time. Therefore, time is not for space, but for us.

I watched a video on Youtube® on April 18, 2024, called “Time Does Not Exist.” [1] It mentioned comments by the astrophysicist Michio Kaku, who be the way, believes not in a personal God, but an intelligent Creator and to be honest, that is the first step to Christianity; you must believe in God to believe that Jesus is God!

I was astounded, not because time does not exist, in his opinion, but that I wrote in my book, The Skull of Adam, in 2017 that time does not exist; and that time was made for man. (Herrin 2017). In other words time is a construct for humans and since all things are made by God, God made the construct.

Six days ago, I posted on Facebook® the thesis of Dr. Kaku using my own words (Time is explained in a conversation between the angles Praise and Gabriel): 

Time is a human construct is now the theory. The past, present, and future are all existence now, according to new theories. Time is illusion for us. Therefore, when God said “I Am That I Am” that has great significance. He is the beginning and the ending, NOW. Science is finally understanding God without knowing it. God could create all things now — in an instant — without spending any time.

I AM means “now”… the present. He is now the beginning and the ending. Time is meaningless.

I AM means God is constant — the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He does not vary, being always dependable. (Herrin; April 18, 2024)

 

Kaku unwittingly agreed with God, but I marveled because God gave me those thoughts long before the James Webb telescope was ever launched into space. God talked to me the Word in thoughts, and I read the Mind of God, in a sense.

But you need proof, do you not? The following are excerpts pertaining to time from chapter one from my book which was published in 2017, four years before the JWST was ever launched. (I recommend that you watch the Youtube video and compare; you will see that my thesis from the Word of God is the same thesis from the mouth of Dr. Kaku. Remember that the italics are the thoughts of angels in my novel and that quotations are added for clarity and for my thoughts now about what I wrote then.) From my book comes the following esoteric conversations: 

Praise went on to say, I came to learn from you, Gabriel. Quickly now tell me how this part of the creation all came about in the beginning. Gabriel laughed heartily, wondering why Praise was so impatient.

Teach me quickly!

Praise was always in a hurry, although there would always be time for Praise!

 (The time for praise would be when humans are created to praise God, after time begins. Soon you will understand when time began. Time is a measure of patience for mankind. Patience, according to Matthew, is for endurance to the end.) Continuing now with my novel: 

… In the beginning, it was all about Adam-kind! All that God did to this point was for Adam, and all that He will ever do will be for Adam’s sake.

 (The great “Construct” — the Creation — was for Adam’s kind… us. Time, therefore, was constructed for us. That certainly agrees with Kaku’s thesis that time is a construct. The beginning was not the beginning of God for He is omnipresent. It was for our beginning. Time was the construct of the first rank in preparation for the creation of mankind. The beginning, from the literal meaning in the Hebrew, was not time but first things first.) 

… Gabriel thought more quickly now to placate Praise. He went on: There is something that will be called time, little saraf! Personal guardian angels were created for a time when there will be time.

 (I wrote, hopefully inspired so, that angels were created before time in preparation for when there would be time. When were angels created? The second rank — when the heavens were made before time. The material world — the Garden — was “eastward of Eden,” eastward meaning before time since the sun rises in the east. When I wrote that in my book, Gabriel in the beginning was speaking of time as a future event. Time would be much later than their NOW.) 

… Time will be for the convenience for Adam-kind (Said Gabriel).

 (Time would be, I wrote, for mankind. It was God’s plan in the beginning.) 

When the world is created, God’s plan is to have light shine forth from a sun to divide the night from the day. When God does create time, it is inconsequential to Him.

 (Therein I wrote that time was created, meaning that it was constructed. I repeated my thesis several times to ensure that the readers understand time.) 

When God thinks to us that “one day will be as a thousand years,” it is rhetorical. What God means is that time to Him is not divided. “Forever” incremented to the smallest scale is still “forever”!

 (Time is a constant and it goes from beginning to the ending. Radioactive dating is based on linearity, meaning that it is predictable both forward and backwards. Any point on that straight line is the present, or NOW, at any time. Dr. Kaku refers to time as the “Now.” Not by coincidence, God essentially named Himself, “NOW” and hence God is not divided.) 

When the second heaven is created, those in the first heaven will utter, “It took trillions of years for the creation and then deny it was even created!” God did in this instant the work that men will think took eons because everything they will know will be time- dependent. God will create it all in the twinkling of his divine Eye, and just as man will be made fully developed in an instant, so will the cosmos be!

 (One instant, I was revealed, is as a thousand years. According to Dr. Kaku, the constellations only appear to be of different ages, but some were created before the “Big Bang.” Could it be that they were all created at the same? Now before time? Kaku implied with his thesis that “Time Does Not Exist! I wrote that God created it all simultaneously, “In the twinkling of the eye” and the new theory is just that.) 

Time is always the present, Choice said. Now is always the right time! I’ve been to the future and know the meaning of time. I understand why man needs it. At first. while in the Garden, the lights are dim under the canopy because of mist. There is no need there for the instrument of time since it never was able to take its toll. Because the sun, which soon shall be made, shall provide life, but too much time under the “timepiece” shall cause death.

 (The meaning of time, according to the fictional angel, “Choice,” is for man. God had put some type of shield — a firmament (dome) — over the Garden, apparently to shield his creatures from the destructive wavelengths and frequencies of the Sun. After time began, Abraham, whose name means “Shield” was shielded from the light and heat of Nimrod’s fiery furnace. [2] Take it to mean that the Sun was shielded from those in the Garden, so for them, time would be of no essence if it even existed.) 

… The sun is good, but it can also destroy. Its days are numbered, not by decay, but by God’s will.

 (Not knowing then about JWST, I wrote that the days of the Sun are numbered. Black holes, according to science, swallow up stars and such. If our Sun is ever swallowed by the black hole in our galaxy, time indeed would end as we measure it. In fact, that is precisely what happens in the end before eternity begins. The big “Clock” that God made for mankind to exist will suddenly stop and no longer will time be measured. It will always be “midnight” for some and “God’s Day” for the rest.) Continuing with my book: 

Someday it will be that this giant timepiece shall no longer be used, but God’s own rays, his Shekinah, shall provide light to all of those who were obedient when under the sun!

 (“Shekinah” is the Light of God. Before the Sun was made during the fourth eon, there was God. Again, I write that God was Present before the ‘Clock” was even made. God is eternal and the Light of God never goes out. God is always Now even for all generations.) 

I’ve been to that garden, in the world and in the future. I have already experienced what is to come because for me yesterday is now and tomorrow is too! For God and me, the present is the only time needed. The night will be divided by the day for man’s use. Time for them is of the essence. Tomorrow is just a wish that never truly comes. Even as the sun rises for another day, tomorrow is transformed into the present, and the past is left behind.

 (In short, when I wrote, “the present is the only time needed,” is the same thesis as Dr. Kaku’s. I wrote that long before Kaku, or anyone else even thought about it. From where did my thoughts come? The only resource that I had to obtain that future knowledge was from God. I did not make it up; the cosmos has always been revealed to me as the Estate of God that He wills to mankind in His Time.) 

Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow hasn’t arrived. What time will it be for mankind? The answer is always “now.”

 

(That “the time is always now” is the exact premise of Dr. Kaku. However, I wrote that years before the thought ever entered the mind of Kaku or any of his colleagues.  It is a direct thought from God to me. He shined that Thought into my mind’s eye. If not, who did?)

 

Although the time is always the present, it is fleeting. It travels fast from then to next, quickly skipping over this instant. Mankind’s life is not really measured by the Sun because even when it’s covered and all is dark, the heartbeat of the creature always measures it! God designed into every creature a durable pump that He will call the heart. It’s not only a timepiece but a measure of happiness, discontent, faith, doubt, obedience, and disobedience. It’s ticking responds to each of those!

 (The real clock is the heart of man. When it stops ticking, the time is “now” forever. He enters eternity — the “eighth day” of which I wrote in my book as well. The eighth day is eternity and the time therein is always NOW.) 

Some measures make time in harmony with God’s own heart. Right measures make it tick in joy to God, while wrong measures emit sluggishness, apathy, and stress. A heart in unison with God’s purpose is a durable heart! God intended it to last forever to feed the flesh in the pure air of the Garden. I will be nearby when Adam sins. It’s difficult to speak of the past when the past is in the future, so let me speak of the future as if it is the present because someday it will be!

 (God made man with a spiritual heart that should have ticked forever, clicking off the seconds, minutes, and days. “Unison” is the heart ticking in accord with the will of God. Sin started the biological “clock;” more on that coming.) 

…You see, God is not bound by time, but humankind is! When their clock beats the first time, they are protected in the mother’s womb. That is the beginning of life! Death is when the clock ceases to beat as the mind tells it to stop forever, never to beat again.

 (Again, I wrote that time is not for God but humans. There was no time before mankind disrupted harmony. Death is gain for mankind as Paul wrote because when the heartbeat stops, time does as well, going from seconds to infinite in the twinkling of the eye.) 

In the beginning, mankind’s beginning, the heartbeat is forever, but after sin sneaks in under the hedge of God into the Garden, time is measured by the heartbeat.

 (Sin, I wrote, caused time to begin, and with sin gone, time will end. Without sin in the beginning, there was no time because being in the Presence and Image of God, time was of no utility.) 

Adam and Eve at that time go from immortality to mortality. (The time of original sin).  I see right now that Adam is making an attempt to live forever. He asks that his skull be preserved in death so that he will be there when life is restored to mankind!

 (The restoration of eternity in heaven opposed to the world means preservation at death when time no longer as utility.) 

Adam is to wait while generations tick off heartbeats. In God’s realm, that time is one heartbeat away. He shall come quickly to deliver immortality again, and He shall come quickly again to rule the world, which Satan will first do.

 (In the Book of Adam and Eve, God says that 5-1/2 days are as 5500 years. That is rhetoric. He as well said that salvation is nearer than when he first believed; Rom 13:11). 

… Choice finished his explanation of time. He was there now experiencing what Adam was experiencing. He was there watching Seth saving Adam’s skull! Gabriel understood. It took Choice only an instant to mentally speak these things to Gabriel because time had not yet come! 

(The quotes have now ended).

The angels were created before time and so were we! “He (God) has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love” (Ephes 1:4). Just who did God choose before the foundation of the world? Was it the angels? Was it any of the animals? It was upright man and woman that God chose before the foundation of the world, and long before the metric of time began.

I said that I would explain the beginning of time in more detail. The Creation, according to science, was before time. What seemed to be time, as the JWST may prove, is that time is dependent on from where and how it is looked upon. Distance creates the illusion of time when coupled with movement. As stars move away with the speed of light, the image that is captured is just a “shadow” of the original body.

In fact, existence and time can be explained by Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave.” In that allegory, chained men faced only a cave wall while behind them real things were revealed by light as shadows. As such, the shadows were “fragments” of the real things. The darkness of the universe is parallel to the Allegory. The fast-moving light emanating from the moving stars are just shadows — illusions — of either things to come or things that are past!

When we see those things from here, they are stopped long enough for us to see that the “shadows” of the real things in space are objects on the celestial curtain. We look at illusions all the time and know that they are real things. We never see stars, but only light emanating, even from long-dead stars. In other words, life is an illusion that we take as true. For some, God is an illusion that man created for us. Paul wrote the following about that: 

The invisible things of Him from the creation of the world (before time began) are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead. (Rom 1:20)

 James Webb telescope did not show us any thing. It reveals to mankind invisible things, even blackholes wherein there is light but light that can never escape for us to see! The JWST does not even show us things at all, but only the light emanating from things that may be long past and no longer even exist. We see things now that are gone forever; either died out or hurled into a hole that overcomes what we call “time.”

Just as we understand the unseen objects of the cosmos by the light that they emitted long ago, it is evidence that they were once there and may still be! The same goes for God.

In the beginning, God emitted Light reflected off some object. John saw that “Object” in his time, and it was the flesh of God that John saw (John 1:1-14). Jesus was always there, but remained unseen, although the Jews saw the Light of God and never understood the Object that the Light made was only a Shadow of Things to come.

Now, we see the “Shadow” of God as Jesus. As Plato would have it; Jesus was the Object and the Holy Ghost the ‘Shadow” that the Jews should have seen if they had looked directly at God. Even for the Muslims, Jesus was an illusion — a Phantom being. They saw the Holy Ghost of Jesus but thought the God of Christians was just a man.

That the Image of God was literally a “Shadow” (Selem), validates the Phantom appearance of the Holy Ghost. As such, made in the Image of God, Adam’s soul — the Shadow of God — was revealed by his physical outward image.

Is it merely coincidental that what we see as heavenly bodies are only shadows of real things that light reveals and so is mankind?

Now for original sin or “original time.” It is not Greenwich Village Time at all, but that time began when sin originated.

Before sin, Adam and the woman were “naked” but not in the sense that we think now. Their souls were bare before God. With that said, their flesh may have been transparent, and God saw only the purity of their souls within. They were not ashamed because they were pure.

Something genetic happened with sin; Adam and the woman were then ashamed of their flesh. Adam named the new kind “Eve” because she was thereafter alien to God, having a new image (nahas — cunningness). Her flesh was changed, going from godly to organic.

Organisms have entrails and such. The Book of Adam and Eve reveals that after sin, the two thereafter had digestive tracts and perhaps other organs… hearts for instance. Their hearts began to tick off time, and as many know, organisms are carbon-based creatures.

Carbon perishes. Even carbon fiber bicycles soon perish given time enough in light enough. The same goes for humans.

Therefore, my premise, that time began with original sin, and the age of the world (anno mundi) is not the age of the world (as in the cosmos) but the age of mankind.

Hence, God did construct time, not for Himself, but for His creatures, and it began with mankind becoming alien to God.

I do not mean to exaggerate my importance in the eternal scheme of things, but only consider myself blessed enough to understand the truth about God.

Within scripture lies ancient descriptions that God showed some people about the truth. Enoch saw things firsthand and others in visions. God reveals to me things in thoughts.

Sometimes I wish that He did not, but I have often known things before they were common knowledge. This was one of them, but there have been other things of which I had prior knowledge even before science.

Another one of them was that there is an undersurface reservoir of water many times over the amount needed to flood the world. Science discovered that within the last few years, but I wrote in my “Daily Thoughts” years before it was known to others!

Science is of God and the Bible is archaic science. That they agree should be expected. The JWST validates what Enoch saw so long ago and what God revealed to Moses about the Quantum Light of God.

[2] The Book of Jasher.

SEEING OURSELVES AS THE ACTORS

Just as God got fed up with the Jews, I fear that He is fed up with us. We have devolved further and further since Israel was destroyed so many years ago. It became desolate, having no more than twelve people in it, so says the historian Montefiore.

Whereas they were desolate in both numbers and righteousness, the world now is rich in numbers but desolate in righteousness. That God has let us live on in these great numbers, shows just how merciful He is to us!

Of all the millions of people that have been estimated alive at the time of Noah, only eight escaped destruction; that too was a measure of God’s mercy.

God said about Zion in the vision of Isaiah, the following: 

Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. Your new moons and your appointed feasts My Soul hates: they are a trouble unto Me; I am weary to bear them. (Isa 1:13-14)

 Isaiah saw into the near future but what prophets saw then, are examples of what they see regardless of time. As, Michio Kaku said, “Time is a construct,” not of God but by us.  Scripture applies, therefore, regardless of time.

I have written before that before sin, there was no time because organic material (us) never decayed to even measure our time. 

King David asked about the future:

 

How long, Lord? will you hide yourself forever? shall your wrath burn like fire? Remember how short my time is: wherefore have you made all men in vain? What man is He that lives, and shall not see death? shall He deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? (Psalm 89:46-48)

 

Both David from times past, and now Isaiah, saw Jesus hiding His face from us. That “face
 that they would see was the Divine Face of Jesus. Isaiah and David both saw Jesus from afar… far away in time, as if He was right there.

David made the comparison between his own time in the psalm and God’s time — forever. Would God hide His face from mankind forever? He was speaking of Jesus when He asked the question; Jesus would be the man who could deliver David’s soul from the hand (direction) of the grave (Hell).

It is the soul that shall be saved. That event is at death for the flesh must die for the soul to be saved. To be “born again” (John 3:7), the flesh must die. No, the flesh need not be crucified in the manner of Jesus, but the heart must be circumcised (Rom 2:29).

The “heart” in scripture is the core of anything. The core of mankind is his nature, whether good or evil. It is the will of sinful man that must be crucified. That is the event that saved the repentant thief on the cross beside Jesus; his gave up his will that the Will of God be done.

Now back to Isaiah. He was talking about the human will with its vanity —Doing things empty of meaning. Vain oblations would be like putting water in the fuel tank of a Rolls Royce just so that the vehicle would seem powerful and treasured. In a spiritual sense, it is bringing yourself to the altar before God to seem pious. (I fear that I do that often with shallow prayers. Despite that, I am appreciative, but do not express it enough.)

God revealed the vanity of holidays to Isaiah. The Jews had their new moon festivals that they performed ritually, but it meant nothing to God, nor them. Those activities were for themselves for God had his fill of them. Imagine how God feels now about Easter, the pagan holiday of rebirth, when few even believe in Spiritual rebirth! The Easter ritual is now more about the goddess, Easter, than about the Resurrection of Jesus.

Imagine how God feels about Christmas. It is no longer Christ’s mass where He is honored, but your mass where He turns into things you want, even in your mouth. Christmas is indeed now a “transubstantiation,” not where the bread and wine turn into His Body and Blood, but where your wishes turn into presents for yourselves. (I do not celebrate Christmas with gifts and such for my family, but with the gift of honor for my Savior. That angers people!)

Even the “calling of assemblies” offend God! It is vanity for Him, and vain worshipping for ourselves. Whether modern worship is worshipful, or not, does depend on the eye of the Beholder, but not our eyes that behold it. When we assemble it must be to please God and not to entertain ourselves. Church must be to magnify God, not to please ourselves.

If you have ever become angry in church about the service, ask yourselves, “Does it magnify God or just disappoint you?” For instance, is the music worshipful or is it showmanship? Do we clap for God or clap for the performance? (I just do not clap; God does not need clapping but welcomes outstretched arms.)

God showed Isaiah, “The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint” (Isa 1:5). It is not the hands, feet, or any part of the body that is sick. It, however, is the whole head that is sick. In the Hebrew head is the ro’s that is literally all shook up! It is all shook up in the manner of Elvis; it is confusing pleasure as a measure of sincerity.

The problem most troublesome in contemporary times is that men and women are all shook up; they are confused. Trans-anything is confusion, and it are minds that are all shook up.

Some are even trans-entertainers. You’ve seen it; wherein the lead singer is playacting Elvis with knees bent and groin protruding as if Elvis lives.  They “take a knee” to Jesus, so to speak, but not in sincerity. Many do not, but those who do, their showmanship gives them away.

Transgenderism, transexualism, transhumanism, and such are confusions of the mind. People think that they are all God’s children when they live according to their “father, the Devil.” It is true; the Devil (Serpent) was a “trans-being;” a confused angel who made himself a man to be more like God, all the while his worth was as a worm (Isa 13:11-14).

Man was created glorious in the Image of God and look what those images do? Things the Devil does, even down to its way of thinking and acting… God revealed to Isaiah about how people think:

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. (Isa 55:7-9)

God was telling Isaiah that the thinking of His creatures was confusion. Their thoughts and ways were not what would be expected of those made in His Image, but trans-thoughts; thoughts that could be expected from children of the Wicked One. As such, everyone, in a sense, are trans-humans because we were made to think and act like the humans that God created, but think and act like the Beast.

Lucifer — The Beast — portended to be God, albeit he was a maggot, according to God (Isa 14:11). Maggots are trans-creatures; they are worms that become flies. Lucifer is indeed “Lord of the Flies” (Beelzebub) but before that, he was a “maggot.” He was a trans-creature who transmitted its kind to mankind.

Life for us has been a living act; we say that we are God’s children, but all the time act the Beast.

Have you ever felt that your humility is pomposity? I have! Do I do things to exalt God or is it for me? Even while I write this, I ask myself, “Is it for God or me?” Oftentimes I sense the truth. Sometimes I do write to impress; that was what God meant when He told Isaiah about the vanity of it all.

Acting Christian is taking God’s Name in vain. What is God’s Name? He is called, “Jesus.” Isaiah surely saw into the future when people casually took the Name, “Jesus” with emptiness — voidness of meaning. Was the crucifixion a story or was it the truth? For most, it is a story that is played out once a year, whereas it should be remembered as often as we meet when we commune together with God.

Even communion has become a vain ritual. I have seen it taken unworthily and given vainly. Communion is to remember the death of God as the Blood and Body of Jesus. It has become shallow — something we do because we are supposed to do it!

As you may now understand, even our assemblies have become vain. Now, while only a few perform the rituals, the emptiness is in the pews as the congregation watch in vain.

Even the call to repentance is lackluster. While the preacher says, “All eyes closed; all heads bowed,” for many that is tacit approval to take a nap while standing like a horse asleep.

Yes, we are all born trans-humans! That is the humility that we should have. We are not “all God’s children,” however we can be. We can be reborn and made whole, how our ancestor once was. Made whole is who we should be by God’s design, and it indeed is an issue of the blood like the woman who touched the garment of Jesus.

Sin is in our blood from Eve — the female “Adam.” The woman, once of Adam, after sin, was of the Serpent. Adam immediately named her new kind “Eve” for she had transgressed against God. She had become a creature, not one that was the Inage of God (Selem), but the image of Lucifer (nahas). She transgressed and since she had, God made her a trespasser — part Adam and part Lucifer. Eve, as “the mother of all living” was the genes that were passed along to her demon child Cain (1 John 3:12) whose genetics are in all of us. That we have transgressed is more than with sin but the instinct to sin,

So, what God saw in those who worshipped Him was all an act put on by devious creatures that made them appear to be children of God. God saw through the façade, tired of the acting, and sought genuine worship.

Modern worship seems to be much the same. Holy Matrimony is mocked in the church as those who shack up play their expected parts.

Others even come for the people rather than God. Welcome to the “Fraternity of After Meeting Snacks.”

Don’t worry about hunger and thirst, we shall provide it all without regard for Jesus who is for that very purpose (Mat 5:6).

God not only showed Isaiah them; he also showed Isaiah us!

 

DEVOLUTION: THE WAY OF THE UNFITTEST

I have a follower… a person who follows me throughout the year. I attend several pen shows: Washington, Columbus (Ohio), St. Louis, and now Atlanta. He has appeared to me, always grinning, and seeking answers to esoteric questions. He is interested in the truth as both a Jewish man and a universalist. He has yet to find the truth, but his questions reveal that he will not be content until he understands God.

Jews were once God’s “chosen and peculiar people” (Deut 14:2). Now, Christians are (1 Pet 2:9) — “You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.”

God substituted Christians when Hebrews (now called “Jews”) failed. Failure is neither economically nor in prestige. Failure is indifference to God about His mercy (1 Pet 2:10).

God was merciful to the Hebrews because of one person… Abraham. Jews were chosen because they were the generation of Abraham. “Generation” therein means that they were of the genetics, or “seed,” of Abraham. When Jewish seed failed, then Christ’s Seed substituted.

Jews had mercy because of the faith of Abraham. Paul wrote to the Galatians, “Know you therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham” (Gal 3:7); the “therefore” is that “even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness” (Gal 3:7).

Jews were chosen and peculiar because Abraham believed in God and they were “children,” meaning the seed or genetics of Abraham. Even so, Christians are also the seed of Abraham because of their faith.

To put it in modern vernacular, the Jews blew their chances because they rebelled against God. God had an expectation of them; that they have the faith that Abraham had. Christians are the seed of Abraham, not by genetics, but because they have the faith of Abraham.

The initial vision of Isaiah was about the Hebrew Israelites (KEY VERESES): 

² Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against Me.

³ The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel does not know, My people does not consider.

⁴ Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. (Isa 1:2-4)

 My friend, my follower, made an observation: “Whereas he (my Catholic friend) uses the word ‘evolved,’ Larry, you say ‘devolved.’”

That caught my attention. Yes, I do say “devolved”! In so many words, that was what God showed Isaiah… that Abraham’s kind had devolved. It did not hurt my friend’s feelings since I thought he had devolved into a lesser being. In fact, the word, “mankind” should be used loosely. We were once the humane Adam-kind, but now we are not.

The vision begins with God acknowledging that the people that He created were His “children.” Not only because He fathered them, but they were made in His Image.

Adam and his mate were a “shadow” of God Himself; made in the Image of God. Adam’s kind carried the genes of God in their innermost being. They were genetic images of God. Think “clone” if you choose because God took His Glory and made Adam glorious like Himself. Adam was genetically the “spittin’ image” of God, except for His flesh. Even then, the flesh of Adam was made incorruptible; it was invulnerable.

God created superman and superwoman but like the “Superman,” they had one vulnerability; when they were exposed to elements from another realm, they were vulnerable and would weaken until they gradually died.

The angel, Lucifer, was the “Beast,” the Serpent, that was alien to the Garden Paradise. When they were exposed to it, they would indeed die. The light emitting creature, Lucifer, was beautiful and lustrous, and in the process of eating, it illuminated them with his false ideas.

Now back to time.

Time did not evolve mankind. Time devolved both the man and the woman of the species. It came slowly but surely. God slowed the devolution process by putting onto them coats of skin to capture the fiery darts of the wicked one so that they would not perish quickly (Gen 3:17). In just over 900 years, glorious Adam and Eve withered away.

“Eve?” what happened to “woman”? She had devolved to the extent because of miscegenation with the Beast that she became its kind of creature. Just as Adam named the other kinds of beasts, he now named the new one. Eve was not the woman’s name, but her kind. She had devolved from glorious to inglorious due to one great sin — The Beast had changed her nature. She was no longer domesticated but a wanderer — what would be called a “rounder” in modern times, doing as she pleased without regard to the consequences.

A third kind devolved from her kind; she told Adam that his son was a “man” but not an “Adam.” He was an ‘Is (eesh) n the Hebrew, an extant being — just another existence (Gen 4:1). Cain was not his name, but it was his kind as well… Qayin, “a creature” ( (Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon 1995).

Eve was the mother of all living (Gen 3:20, so we are no longer glorious like humankind, but “come short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23). That expression means that Adam’s kind has devolved to some degree and in the process of time what was once glorious became decadent like “their father the Devil” (John 8:44).

In time, around 5500 years or so, according to sacred books, Adam’s kind had become so decadent that they were depraved (iniquitous). As the “Last Adam,” who was full of Glory, Jesus made it possible for some to be made whole and full of glory just as the woman in the time of Jesus with an issue of the blood was “made whole from that hour” (Mat 9:22).

The generations of the Bible are there because they reveal how Adam’s kind, full of glory, degenerated to lacking some degree of glory.

Now back to Isaiah. God revealed how degenerate the Hebrews had become since the faith of Abraham restored some amount of their glory.

Abraham himself was glorified at death, and at the time of Lazarus and Jesus, he was king of Paradise. Lazarus was comforted in the bosom of Abraham who was a “place-keeper” until Jesus arose from the dead to be King of kings, and Lord of lords.

God had said to Abraham, “I am the Lord that brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it” (Gen 15:7). Hidden in that statement is some “evolution” as God restored some of the glory to Abraham’s kind because of his faith in God, but it began to degenerate in that generation when Abraham lied. Then, God improved that seed again with the miraculous birth of Israel who was apparently neither the son of Sarai nor the son of Abram. God improved what was left of Adam’s kind with His genetics again. Isaac was a “son of God” in the same sense as Abel and Seth, who replaced Abel. [1]

Returning now to the key verses, Isaiah relayed the vision that he had from God... Because they were rebellious — the Hebrews — they suffered the consequences.

God calls them a “sinful nation.” That is likely an understatement in translation of the Hebrew. They were sinful foreigners — foreign to God. They were no longer Hebrew but came short of that new kind that God had favored for so many years. As such, the Hebrews descended from glorified Abraham, had degenerated to the extent that they were much like the pagan “Gentiles” (Strong 2006). They were not fully Hebrews nor not quite Gentiles; they were a new kind of being. The blood of Ishmael had got into them by miscegenation.

That God had brought Abraham out of Ur of the Chaldees has a double meaning: (1) Ur was a city in Chaldea — the land on the plain of Shinar, and (2) Since Ur means “fire,” God had brought Abraham out of the fire.

In The Book of Jasher, Nimrod was building a tower to reach God, obviously to prove that God does not exist. Abram, at that time, was the one that had enough faith in God to defy wicked Nimrod, so King Nimrod placed him in a fiery furnace in the same manner as Nebuchadnezzar placed Shadrack, Meshack, and Abednego in one, but saw a fourth man in there that he recognized as the “Son of God” (Dan 3:25).

Abram came out of the fire uninjured. He had become “glorified” in the fire rather that perished. The flesh of Abram had become incorruptible to withstand the flames. God had regenerated Abram and made him whole in the manner of Adam who was created whole. Thereafter a new, improved kind would cease wandering the Earth and made a return to Paradise. Abraham lived in paradisical Canaan land — the land of milk and honey — where he was recognized as king, but not in the earthly realm; hence Paradise as the comfort of Abraham’s bosom (Luke 16:22).

Those from Abraham’s bosom — his seed — would be favored to rest for eternity in Paradise as God’s chosen and peculiar people. That Lazarus went there, shows that Christians had become the favored people; they were now the glorified ones.

There were cycles of degeneration and regeneration because of the grace of God. Seth was the “second Adam,” and Holy Mount Hermon would be the “Paradise” of His seed; they were the ones from Noah’s days; “the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them” (Gen 6:4).

Noah was the “Third Adam” that was preserved beyond the waters (“Hebrews”). Mankind was saved from the miscegenation of righteous men who came into the “daughters of men” — Adam’s new kind (Eve’s kind) as she was the mother of all living and the genetic source that passed along the DNA of the Wicked One. (The name, Eve, means “symbiosis” and that is the coupling between opposites for their common survival.)

Hopefully, the reader gets two points — (1) that we are no longer humane and glorious mankind but depraved aliens without God, (2) who require regeneration into new creatures (2 Cor 5:17).

Abraham was at least the “Fourth Adam” from the genetics of the “First Adam.” Those cycles would end with the “Last Adam” (Jesus; 1 Cor 15:45) who is the final “quickening Spirit” whose death finished the many cycles of devolution, improvement, and devolution again. His quickening Spirit is the final recourse to save Adam’s kind from extinction! Jesus, at His death, said, “It is finished” (John 19:30), thus ending the many cycles of devolving of man and restorations by God.

God revealed to Isaiah the status of the few remaining Hebrews that had been favored. Isaiah saw that they were “a people laden with iniquity.” They were heavy, or worn out, from perversity. Perverse lives had worn them down to become something less that glorified Hebrews who had, had the Promise. In other words, due to time and sin, Abraham’s kind, and even Moses’s kind, had degenerated. They had devolved again from what they once were.

Isaiah was shown that once righteous people had become “a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters.”

“Children” and “seed” therein both point toward genetics.  Evolution is an improvement in the genetics from something less to something better. God did evolve the many ‘Adam’s” but left on their own for survival, they became less fit to survive in a reversal of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. Isaiah saw the truth; he saw that Adam’s kind had devolved and became the less fit to survive.

The Lord God had blessed Israelite seed many times. Now it was over for “they have forsaken the LORD.” Keeping in mind that the Lord God was both Creator and Regenerator, that God would soon end the cycles of regenerating the degenerate. Their survival was now for them to survive without God. They failed to do so. They disappeared from Israel (The Garden of Eden) and it was turned back over to the “sons of Ishmael” (Muslims) who fared even worse!

Now, Israel has been returned to its rightful heirs after Jesus came to finish that as well. Israel exists to this day because the Lord God, Jesus — their Messiah — restored it to them. Now, let us see what they do with it!

That Jewish man — the one that I had encountered at the pen show — wondered why I always said “devolved” rather than evolved. I said that because I was shown by God the same vision that He showed Isaiah, that “they are gone away backward.”

Mankind going his own way, has always gone his way backward. Left to their own devices, mankind has devolved. Outwardly, man has seemed to be more handsome, larger, and more intelligent, but all that brings vanity, arrogance, and hatred. It is indeed the struggle for the fittest, but that is man exalting themselves. Now women are doing the same thing!

All the while we think that we are improving, we are devolving further. Total depravity will never be acceptable. The world will be destroyed before totally depraved beings are allowed to ruin it, just as in the days of Noah.

In those days, depraved, degenerate people had become alien to God, doing all things that were right in their own eyes from pedophilia, hard liquor, continual parting, and orgies. They even performed sodomy on each other, women, and even children; all this according to the Book of Adam and Eve. As the world went under, they did whatever they wanted to do. The water was their “Titanic” marveling all the while at rain for the first time ever. Their real, indestructible, unsinkable ship was Noah’s Ark, and its real “Captain” was the Person of the Lord God.

Many have been taught evolution. It is merely a theory that many accept as truth. It has been repeated so many times that without proof, it has become the truth to many. Look at any big city riot, and people can see, but not understand; they are depraved, degenerate people that are still devolving.

One of the newer devolutions is gender fluidity. Crazy sin-infested beings think that they are whatever they think they are.

Now top that! Yes, they have! a new kind of transhumanism are those that can cycle back and forth from one gender to another whenever they desire.

Look on social media and tell me that mankind has not devolved! I have seen it in the process of time wherein normal children have become imaginary creatures descended from the genetics of the Serpent.

SEEKING THE TRUTH SCIENTIFICALLY

Pontius Pilate, obviously a student of Plato in a Greek oriented society, asked Jesus as He was about to be crucified, “What is truth?” (John 18:38). Without going into esoteric reasons, Jesus showed Pilate what was truth; His death revealed God in Jesus as Jesus gave up the Ghost (Mark 15:37).

The ‘Ghost’ that left Jesus was a Phantom, the very Image of God from the beginning. As it turned out, Pilate was shown the truth in a very Platonian manner; the Holy Ghost of Jesus was a ’fragment’ of the physical Image of God. The truth was revealed to Pilate that Jesus was as much God as was the Spirit dwelling within Him, and vice-versa.

The truth is that God is who He says He is without regard to appearances. Some still reject that truth. That is the prerogative of everyone; God does not force His Image, neither Jesus nor the Holy Ghost on anyone. With that said, the man, Jesus, pleases people. However, the Holy Ghost scares them. That God is with them all the time does not make them feel safe but insecure.

There is a Holy Ghost, and He is the One that keeps you safe in the world until the end. Jesus said, “He (the Father) shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever” (John 14:16). Christians have on them a ‘Comforter’ in much the same manner as Adam and Eve had on a ‘Garment’ from God (Gen 3:17).

That was the truth in what Jesus said. That ‘Comforter’ is the One Thing that Jesus gave up for your safety. The Holy Ghost, Pilate realized, was as much God as Jesus. Pilate saw that Jesus was God regardless of His Substance. Jesus was God on the outside as well as within.

Literally the ‘Comforter” (Greek; parakletos) is one who pleads for you in a High Court. The Comforter advocates on your behalf and as such is your defender against the prosecution led by Satan. Indeed, that Christians have someone to plead their cause on the judgment day is comforting.  There is hope so long as the Comforter is with you, but like anything given by God by grace, He does not force Himself on you, and as a free agent, the Christian can refuse to have anyone act on his or her behalf. The Comforter can be rejected at the soul discretion of the Christian, but there are consequences. Jesus said: 

Verily, (truly) I say unto you, “All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme, but he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost has never forgiveness but is in danger of eternal damnation.” (Mark 3:28-29)

 Jesus gave a warning; He would not always be there to plead the cause of the Christian. The Comforter would advocate for you as a proxy for Jesus, the judge. He will intercede on your behalf, and each one of us knows that even Christians still sin and will someday need an advocate. Christians, if they reject the Holy Spirit of God, the truth is that is as if rejecting Jesus as the Savior.

With the Advocate there on your behalf, Jesus said that all sins will be forgiven. We must believe in the Advocate whether we see Him or not. We must believe that the Ghost of Jesus is working on behalf of all serious Christians, and pro bono (“for good,” by grace).

As a young man, the thought of the Holy Ghost intimidated me at best. When a sincere Christian said to me, “The Holy Ghost was here today!” she in excitement, I was dumbfounded. I thought, I did not see the Holy Ghost, and felt like I belonged to some zealot organization with a bunch of religious fanatics. In time, I too became a fan for both Jesus, whether it was His Person or His Ghost. I nearly lost my Advocate at an early age because He was so mysterious.

Jesus was speaking to Christians when He warned them about “blasphemy” — speaking without piety for the invisible Image of God — the Holy Ghost.

Pilate found out that Jesus was the visible Image of the Invisible God, and there was within Jesus another Image that few shall ever see. Pilate was privileged to see the Holy Ghost — the invisible Image of God — remove Himself from the visible Image. Pilate saw that both Images were God regardless of substances.

Holy rollers still scare Christians! A ‘Holy Roller’ is anyone who takes the Holy Ghost seriously. They feel comfortable speaking of the Holy Spirit but very uncomfortable even saying “Holy Ghost.” Either way, in the Greek, both ghost and spirit are pneuma, sort of a dynamic ‘wind,’ but the specific Spirit of Jesus frightens even Christians.

A ‘spirit’ is simply an unseen essence attributed to God by Christians and Jews. A ‘ghost’ is a specific and peculiar essence attributed to God that has resided in the body of a dead person. That Jesus has a Ghost is a scary proposition, hence the “Holy Ghost” as the name suggests is the ‘Agios Pneuma,’ in the Greek, literally “An Awful Spirit.” That may be the case for some, but for true Christians, the Ghost in Jesus is an “Awesome God.” Whether awful or awesome now depends on context about how the person sees God.

To those who reject the Holy Ghost of Jesus as Advocate, He is awful; to those who depend on the Advocate, see the Holy Ghost as awesome. It is the same Ghost of Jesus, but His awesome or awfulness depends on the viewpoint of the beholder.

Those who reject the Holy Ghost, in a spiritual sense, reject God as much as those who reject Jesus are rejecting God. The man, Jesus, is easy to accept because He was visible. The Ghost of Jesus is difficult to accept because He can only be sensed as being there as ‘God With Us’ (Emmanuel). If that is rejected, then so is the truth that Pilate accepted.

Proof is impossible in inferential statistics. Jesus was the evidence that God is real, and it was, and still is, rejected by many.

In inferential statistics, failure to reject the null is not absolute proof but reliable to a certain degree.

The hypothesis was that Jesus was who He said He was. The man said that He was God. That was impossible to prove even though He performed miracles — doing things beyond the science. Even that was rejected as proof that Jesus is God. Simon the Sorcerer levitated and said that he was the Savior. That did not prove that he was God either.

Jesus was the positive Image of God but was rejected. To be accepted as true, the null must be disproved. The Holy Ghost was the null of the hypothesis. Failure to disprove that the Holy Ghost was not God was the evidence that the positive hypothesis was true.

Pilate accepted that the Holy Ghost was God because even though on the Cross in the Body of Jesus, the Spirit did not die. Truly the Holy Ghost was God as Pilate was surely convinced. Since the Holy Ghost was the null ‘fragment’ of the Person, Jesus, then Pilate accepted the premise that Jesus, the Person, was in fact God.

You may not understand inferential statistics but when Pilate saw the null of Jesus leaving Him, that was reliable proof for him. There was little doubt to Pilate that Jesus was who He said He was, and Pilate accepted Jesus was God as the truth!

You did not see what Pilate saw, so since God is graceful, He allowed others to see the truth after it was finished. Many people saw Jesus alive and well after His death. The lively Spirit that God had breathed unto Him at His baptism returned. Jesus got His Ghost back.

Pilate was revealed the truth because He saw it. There was no degree of doubt, so he washed his hands of the test even before the test was completed. He accepted the evidence that Jesus was God, but then God revealed to Pilate that he was correct in his belief; Pilate found no fault in Jesus. Jesus had not come short of the Glory of God since the Holy Ghost glorified Him (John 7:39) to substantiate Pilate’s conclusion.

Before I ever recognized the Holy Ghost was as much as God as Jesus, I did recognize Jesus as God. On the other hand, the Holy Ghost comforts me in times of duress. Now I understand that the Holy Ghost is God because he is the Presence of Jesus that remains with us.

With all that said, I am not a Pentecostal. However, Christians should never fear the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is no longer a threat to my comfort but is the True God who still comforts me.

If I reject the Holy Ghost, I am rejecting God as much as if I rejected Jesus as God. Likewise, Jews, if you reject Jesus as God, then you are rejecting the Holy Spirit of God that was revealed to Moses! And so it goes. 

WHY ISAIAH?

After perusing through the Book of Matthew, let us return to another ‘gospel.’ It is a long book, and to be truthful, I dread reading it again. Of course, I could read it in a few hours, but to really, really read it in expository, explaining certain passages word for word, because each word is the ‘Word’ of God. Each Word is God-breathed, to wit: “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Tim 3:16). In some versions, inspiration is translated as “God breathed.”

First off, the New Testament, although canon, is not the ‘scripture’ referred to as God-breathed. The Old Testament is that scripture. The Word of God is God-breathed whereas the gospels are God-spoken. The message of God was breathed unto men in the Old Testament and spoken to them in the New. As such, Isaiah had life and truth breathed unto him.

As John pointed out, the message was the same but the transmission of it was much different; the Word was Jesus (John 1:1-14) and it was as much Jesus who breathed the Word to Isaiah, the other prophets, and the patriarchs. As such, all the patriarchs were prophets as well because prophets were those who spoke the Word breathed unto them by God.

Prophets were proxies for Jesus until God came in the flesh. The Words of God spoken by prophets were essentially the Word of God.

Take for example, the Book of Genesis; Moses was not there in the beginning and had no idea how all things were created. God would have breathed unto him Words of Truth. Genesis is as such the Word of God spoken to the person, Moses who understood it and recorded it on a ‘bible,’ meaning a material for writing. Moses would have seen the creation as God breathed it unto him like a 16mm video.

The Word of God is capitalized, “Bible” because it is the Word of God on some type of medium. The paper is not sacrosanct, but the Words on it are. Do not let digital media upset you because it is just electronic ‘paper;’ it is the Words of God that matters.

Isaiah recorded messages from God. God breathed unto him certain messages, often about the future. The book begins, “The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah” (Isa 1:1).

Isaiah had a vision, and the vision was about Judah and Jerusalem. The vision was seen during the times elaborated, but the vision was about the future that he saw in those times. Sometimes the future would be soon after and at other times long after those times, or sometimes apply to both, as it seems.

The vision was literally a sighting; he saw what God would show him from the vantage point of the past into the future.

Now, I will examine another sacred book. While in the Garden, Adam said that he could see unto the heavens, but after he and his Eve were cast out of the Garden, he no longer could; he added:

 Then God the Lord said to Adam, "When you were under subjection to Me, you had a bright nature within you, and for that reason could you see things far away. But after your transgression your bright nature was withdrawn from you; and it was not left to you to see things far away, but only near at hand; after the ability of the flesh; for it is brutish. (1 Adam and Eve 8:2)

 Isaiah, like Adam in the Garden, was surely under subjection to God to see things that were far away. That is often thought of as a far away distance, but from Adam, it was seeing into another realm. Isaiah saw both unto another realm and another time that was far away into the future.

Why would Isaiah be under subjection to God? God gave him a bright nature; that follows: God continued speaking to Isaiah, “Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against Me” (Isa 1:2). Isaiah would have heeded the sayings of God unlike most of the others that God condemns in subsequent verses. Because he had ears to hear and eyes to see, God used Isaiah to see things from afar, whereas the general masses did not. Isaiah had no problem with hearing and obeying, so he was the likely candidate for seeing what he was hearing.

On the other hand, the audiences must have bright natures to understand what they are hearing or reading. Based on Adam’s fallen state, Isaiah would have been restored; having been born with a dull, even brutish nature, as God said to Adam, Isaiah would assume a bright nature to see what the angels could see. The bright eyes came with his non-brutish nature.

Brutishness is imperative in scripture. Brutishness is animalistic, not using intelligence and understanding; being instinctive and doing whatever they are inclined to do. Everyone is born in iniquity, according to King David (Psalm 51:5); that is born with depravity. Since everyone is born that way, it is genetic and is the nature of mankind. The brutish nature comes from the Beast via the genetics of Cain.

The ‘father’ of all who were born is the Devil, Lucifer, “and the lusts of your father you will do” (John 8:44). The use of the word ‘father’ means it is genetic, obviously because the Devil did not sire anyone, but perhaps Cain (Gen 4:1; 1 John 3:12). As such, Lucifer is our ‘father’ through the genetics of Cain. Hence, because Cain was cursed, our nature is like his and all who are born from a woman are brutish in nature. Our nature is to pursue things that can be sensed, hence the “lusts” of our genetic father we will do.

That implies that Lucifer, called “The Serpent,” did his lusts to the woman and produced a child with a brutish nature… Cain.

The parenthood of Isaiah is revealed in the key verse. His father was Amoz. That has much significance because Amoz claimed that he was not a prophet, and his life revealed that he was just an ordinary man with a burden. His name means, “Burden Bearer,” and in a genetic sense, Isaiah too bore the burden of Judah and Jerusalem. In a sense, Amoz was prototypical of Jesus who did bear the burdens of mankind, and since Isaiah was of his genetics, that burden would have been passed down to him.

Amos had given some of his genealogy. It is unknown just who his parents were, but Amos said, "I am not a prophet nor a son of a prophet” (Amos 7:14). His was not a genetic dispensation but a God-given one to an ordinary man. God picked Amoz and Isaiah because they were ordinary. You would think that the genealogy of Amoz, because he was the father of the most major prophet, Isaiah, would be given! Not even Luke gave that “Amos” in the genealogy of Jesus. He was essentially a non-person to whom God endowed him with importance to bear the burdens of Judah and Jerusalem.

That Amos was the father of Isaiah is meaningful. Amos had written, “The Lord will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither” (Amos 1:2).

What did Amoz mean by that? Firstly, consider Carmel. That name means ‘The Vineyard of God,’ implying that is the Garden of God in Eden before time began. Carmel would have been a mountain vineyard in the Garden of Eden. That vineyard, so said Amoz, would wither. Of course it had already withered, since before time, but now it would wither even further. It would wither in importance to the favor of Mount Zion.

Amoz also saw Jesus, not on Mount Carmel like Elijah, but on Mount Zion, which is most certainly Calvary, although it has lost its specific distinction. Amoz saw that the Lord spoke audibly from Jerusalem and would roar from Mount Zion. There, the focus would go from the pre-eminence of Carmel to Zion. Salvation would apparently change locations.

Indeed, the Voice of Jesus was heard in Jerusalem, but Carmel was where Jesus spoke most. So, rather than looking toward Carmel for Jesus, Amoz knew the location would be Zion. In fact, in Latin that mountain may be Calvariae Locus — the location of the Cranium. Amoz had seen Calvary as the entryway to heaven, not the high place of Carmel where many had once gathered. He was supporting Jerusalem as the very place where the world could be saved, so Amoz bore a burden for Jerusalem to the disregard of Carmel.

Isaiah would see Jerusalem as sacrosanct because his father had. Isaiah was picked by God because Jerusalem was in his blood as the place. He had the faith and vision of his father, and Jesus used that. Just as Amoz had the bright eyes to see that, Isaiah would have as well!

That Isaiah saw Jesus in the future from the past is easy to explain. God is "NOW" in whatever time is used.
