Killing God: Reward and Punishment


Allah ‘akbar is chanted at many at the scenes of terrorism. That battle cry is akin to Allah lives and Jehovah God is dead!  In a reversal of truth, Christians become the infidels and Muslims the “true religion”! From a Christian perspective, it must be remembered, God loves the Arabs too! On the other hand, there are differences in religions. Educators and humanists say there is not, but the truth lies in the doctrines of each. The liberal “Church” will join in with those of other religions, just as the Jews were syncretic, and those liberals will be both Catholics and Protestants. The latter is not immune from deception, and in this age the liberal wing may be even more heretical than the Catholics have become.
The true Church is invisible just as is the One True God. Its makeup consists of Catholics, Jews, and Protestants who trust Jesus’s propitiation for salvation and are born-again. The evidence of that is their service to mankind and to God as they diminish themselves and elevate God. They are those who are not guilty of putting God down, as the bad guys often do.
The Great Tribulation and the Battle of Armageddon is the future “gunfight at OK corral”. Just as the Antichrist seems to believe God is almost dead, armies from all over the world will come to finish God off. The Tribulation does weaken and diminish God’s armies, but Almighty God is Self-sufficient. Christians, with their attitude of trust, are spiritual cheerleaders.  Just as God felled the great walls of Jericho by His Almightiness, the armies of the Antichrist will drown in their own blood! Cao Make no mistake about it, Joshua (Hebrew for Jesus) saved the Hebrews.  In six days God created fear in the hearts of those in fortified walls, and on the seventh day God rested as the walls tumbled down. God did the hard work as the Hebrews cheered on, then with the walls collapsed, the Hebrews merely came in and did the hard task easily! The Canaanaites at Jericho belonged to Satan. They were antichrists. How so? Cap  
And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant? And the captain of the Lord's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so. 
                Most miss the point but the Captain of the Hosts in those passages are pre-incarnate Jesus! Not the man Joshua but the One of whom Joshua was a simile! Joshua trusted Jesus and the Hebrew people were saved. This biblical event is a precursor to Armageddon where the Antichrist and his legions will be finally defeated. In the passages above God is not dead; He had yet even to be born, but His Almightiness was alive and well! Joshua lifted-up Jesus as he stood there on Holy Ground in the very presence of God! When God was murdered on Calvary his adversaries took the knee, but Joshua stood tall in the presence of God with his shoes off. God wanted nothing which man had made existing between Him and man!
                If God is for us who can be against us? Caq  Choose wisely, everyone. The Leader you choose determines your fate! God does not die. Satan does! Before he is cast into the fiery pit for a spell, God in the end destroys Satan. In God’s realm, the motto will be God is not dead; Lucifer is dead! Ironically, it is not Adam-kind which dies as related by the Serpent but the Serpent who suffers death! Car  (Read about that promise and its fulfillment in my book The Skull of Adam.) The immortality of God is significant and Satan’s death eminent. Let God Himself reveal punishment: 
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.  
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.  And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
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. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.            
                Satan is thrown into the abyss. That may be the same abyss beneath the black rock of Ornan’s threshing floor where Lucifer will get his threshing! Theologians blame the Romans and the Pope for the end of days as they are the accused of their attempt to kill God! The author does not. The destroyers will be the descendants of the Canaanites. However, mankind kills God every time people sin, but their murderous nature is just hatred. God is the beginning and will be there in the end!  As murderers, mankind bungles their plot. The vocation of man, if the reader remembers, is to “dress and keep the Garden, in the midst is where the Tree of Life stands. That “Tree” is Jesus the Christ! cas 

To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the Tree of Life.
