Mankind
judged the murder of God. Their verdict was the Jews did it and rested their
case. The world accepted mankind’s verdict, and ever since the Jews have been
persecuted. Those who condemned the Jews know who the criminals really are, and
they are they. Jewish persecution is
psychological “transference”; the world is convicted of guilt but transposes it
onto the Hebrew people. God knows what they do! In fact, persecution is part of
God’s Plan. Throughout history Christianity has grown with persecution,
commencing with John the Baptist and Jesus, the apostles and then the blood of
the martyrs.
Contemporary Christians are
Christians primarily because they lift up Jesus and his purpose. However, they
are exposed to Christianity because the world persecutes. The western world was
Christianized because of persecution of faithful Christians bbs bbt,
many who also shed their blood, not for mankind but for Jesus’s sake! Why
accept the evidence presented in the depositions of the four gospels? Because
those who shared the truth of Jesus died for them! Would you be willing to die
for the sake of a scam? Surely not! All
the apostles died or were tortured in fulfilling the Great Commission. bbu
There truly was a physical
murder! God did die! However, Jesus compares physical death with sleep, bbv
providing, of course, that people lift up Christ.
Emotional abuse is as real as
physical abuse? God cries! bbw When Jesus cries that is God crying. He felt
forsaken! bbx Everyone is guilty of emotionally abusing God! When
God is “wounded”, so to speak, His Holy Spirit experiences blasphemy, which is
either denying God’s existence or His purpose for dying. Scripture relates that
God experiences spiritual abuse via
His aspect of the Holy Ghost. bby It is imperative to understand that there are
not three “Existences” but One. God’s omniscience (infinite cognition) is
trait of God, His flesh another trait so as to appear to mankind, and His Holy
Spirit another to Comfort mankind. The King James translators are the only ones
who used pneuma in context; the Holy
Spirit after experiencing death of the flesh on the cross was transformed into
Jesus’s “Holy Ghost”.
God’s flesh abides in Heaven
along with God’s Mind. His flesh “sits” on God’s right side. Bbz
Rather than physically “sitting” is that when looking at God, the angels and
John saw Jesus. It can be assumed that the Holy Ghost may remain unseen but
possibly can be sensed on God’s left side. This “vision” was for John’s
enlightenment because when anyone looks at Jesus, He is God they see! baa
The defendants (mankind) are
being indicted on three counts: (1) Mental cruelty (hatred), (2) mortally
wounding God in killing His person, and (3) attempted murder of Existence. (If
God could be killed, existence would die with Him!) The crimes have been
identified, the suspects indicted (defendants), and evidence presented of the
crimes. The “First Estate” (The Church) recognizes the Judge who is
self-appointed. It seems that the defendants victimized the Judge but in this
situation, He cannot recuse Himself! The Judge saw the crimes, which is
unusual, thus, he has the knowledge to prosecute the case: God vs. The World! “Each will give an account of himself to God.” Bab
However, God’s judgment is not until after mankind dies: “It is appointed for
man to die once, and after that comes judgment.” Bac
God is omnipresent, knowing even
the hairs of our heads. Bad He communes with his creation
continually. He knows whether people are for Him or against Him. The evidence
is accumulated into two books. One book keeps track of unfaithfulness to God.
When people do God harm, there attitude
toward God is put in that book. Each entry is for the time when they were
unwilling to listen to God. bae
And
I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened:
and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were
judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their
works.
Before time began, those who would be born-again had their names written
in the Book of Life. Although, God wants than none should perish, and all are called, He Knows who will be born-again.
That is God’s foreknowledge bag wherein He knows who will answer His
calling, albeit it is not pre-ordained. Thus, Christians have their names
written in the Lambs Book of Life.
How does it stay there, and not be blotted out? Those who realize their
crime, feel sorrow for grieving God, and confess to their crime, will be
forgiven while they are still alive. Because the Judge is merciful and just, He
will pardon those crimes, and keep the born-again person’s name in the Book of
Life. baf Once that is done, the accused will be on probation. God
requires that faithulness be maintained until the Supreme Court rules at the
Great White Throne Judgment. If they have remained faithful, the Judge will not
blot them out of the Book of Life. Bah The judge will never again
hold those crimes against the defendants who recognize His authority and have
remorse. That is the same Book of which God spoke to Moses about in the Old
Testament. Names were put in the Book for the same reason then as later and living
in iniquity was always the reason for being blotted out!
Obedience is in life. Only living beings can make choices. The choice all
me must make is whether to revere the Judge or not! Thus, as with Job’s
conflict with Satan, life is a tribulation. Satan continues to test the
faithful, just as He was allowed by God to test Job. Those who overcome
temptation (not abandon God’s authority), will in the end, be saved. Thus, life
is an ongoing trial. God doesn’t wait until the Supreme Court to judge His
people. They are all guilty as charged and suffer the consequences of life. bai
Judgment is three-fold: (1) a person’s name was never written in the Book
of Life, (2) it was written in but subsequently blotted out, or (3) it was
written in and never blotted out. Those three judgments are guilty without redemption,
redeemed later to be in apostasy, or redeemed and safe, respectively. The first
and second are blasphemy; the latter is salvation. Indeed, those born-again are
judged but judged mercifully. Their sins are remitted and not held against them,
remembering, though, that all have sinned.
The tribulation period is a seven-years period near the end of days: baj
For
then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the
world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
By then, Christians living and dead will have been “snatched away” from the
world into Heaven. That is sort of a “judgment day” for Christians up until
that time, and is called “the rapture”. Bak bal Those who become Christians after the rapture
will face “Great Tribulation”. That implies that everyone else will face
tribulation: Bam
These
things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye
shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
According to scripture, then,
life is general tribulation. The Great Tribulation will be two phases: (1)
seemingly pleasurable living without even war, and (2) extreme persecution by
the government and the apostate church. The first is similar to the Utopian society
envisioned by Marx, and the latter is the hellish system evolving from Marxism.
Scripture describes 3-1/2 years of what seems to be socialism followed by 3-1/2
years of autocratic communism. Neither period is good for the Church, and God will
have been fallaciously redefined in the first half and “killed off” in the
second half.
The tribulation of life in the present days are similar. Sinners have pleasurable
lives even without God; not necessarily prosperity because the penalty of sin
is still in effect. However, even the poor will relish sin. At most, God gets
the blame for any peril encountered! This “Utopian-like” period of iniquity is
filled with the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.
They are the rewards of temptation. Even when Christians suffer the
consequences of sin, sin is still overpowering. They, however, voluntarily
choose sin just as in the Great Tribulation people will welcome the leader in
the first period. Why so? They get free things just as they did from eating of
the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil!
After a time, sinners belong to
Satan! They begin to sin even though they don’t want to sin: ban
For
I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the
very thing I hate.
This is the second half of the
tribulation of life. Sinning is not satisfying but one keeps on sinning! Thus,
people become slaves to sin and move from the Utopian version of iniquity to
the dictatorial. Their hearts move from the socialism stage to the communist,
so to speak, because they have moved from enjoying sin to becoming slaves to
sin.
Even if one is holy, Satan
provides much tribulation! Rather than God “snatching away”, Satan tempts to do
his own snatching. The entire Book of Job is a story of one righteous man’s
tribulation and represents the life of those who have faith. Just as the beast
will endeavor to snatch Christians away in the Great Tribulation, Satan does
the same in the general tribulation. If he is successful, that is apostasy.
Tribulation is allowed by God to
test Christians. It’s His means of “threshing out” the Church to leave the good
seed remaining. Satan can only do what God allows him to do, and God uses Satan
as a useful idiot to test the faith
of Christians. bao God allows tribulation in life as a form of
judgment. In tribulation, men judge themselves! They either lift God up or let
Him down. Do you think not? Nathan the prophet presented a metaphor to David,
and David found himself guilty! bap Everyone who accepts the truth
self-judges. God’s truth convicts, and the emotion of guilt is self-judgment.
It is a check-valve for sin. With God alive people’s thoughts, those people are
convicted and judge themselves guilty. Most people would rather judge
themselves than have God do it for them! Thus, with the terrible feelings
emoted by guilt, some do something about it and some don’t. Repentance is the
way to relieve guilt, and God, in His mercy, offers a reprieve to the spiritual
criminal – the defendant in God’s Supreme Court.
Of course, God paid the fine
with His own death, but the sinner need only trust God for redemption.
Trusting, thus lifting-up God, is the second birth which prevents Satan from snatching
peoples’ souls away. Most fail to do anything about the guilt, learn to live
with it, and become reprobate. That is spiritual psychopathy! They relinquish
their communion with God, and God dies from their life. Reprobate people kill
God by not caring about Him. That is mankind’s chance to participate in his own
trial. The consequence of sin is death, and damned people just don’t care
enough to stand before the Judge!
