ON SAINTHOOD: Part 1 of 2

 

The Roman Catholic Qualifiers

There are numerous references to saints in the Bible as if they are plentiful. The Roman Catholics recognize more than 10,000 saints throughout history; some are even unnamed. If only 10,000 saints exist, then Paradise would indeed be sparse of living souls.

Just who is a saint in Roman Catholic vernacular?

“A saint is a holy person who is known for his or her “heroic sanctity” and who is thought to be in heaven” (Petruzzello 2024).

Therefore, there seem to be several criteria: 

1.      A Person that is

2.      Holy,

3.      Is known to the Roman Catholic Church and perhaps others.

4.      Is either a male or a female

5.      Who did something “heroic”

6.      that sets them apart (sanctified),

7.      and is thought to be in heaven. 

I will endeavor not to get technical, but heaven is not necessarily Paradise but in another realm which Luke saw as both Paradise (Abraham’s Bosom) and Hades.

Let’s assume that Catholics mean Paradise rather than Hell. There is no way to validate when people are in either Hell or Paradise.

To be a saint, in Catholicism in most instances, perhaps excluding Enoch and Elijah, the saint must have died. Paul’s “gain” (Phil 1:21) would be sainthood and indeed Paul is thought to be in Paradise. Paul fits the criteria very well for sainthood and he died a heroic death; he was decapitated, according to historians, for his faith in Jesus.

“Sanctification” is the setting apart; the Catholics define it as such: 

Sanctification takes place in justification. In justification, sins are forgiven and there is an infusion of sanctifying grace, whereby one is made just and holy; this is what it is to be sanctified. In this state of grace, one merits heaven. (Allen 2024)

 How is it known that a person is sanctified? Baptism, even infant baptism, sanctifies sinners in their doctrine, as well as in the doctrine of modern Churches of Christ.

“Confirmation” is the validation that the sanctified person was really sanctified and the event wherein they are sealed with the Holy Spirit and would thereafter serve the Lord. That service is a setting apart for the work of God.

Doctrine is often difficult to understand unless a person has been through catechism classes, so it is hoped that this doctrine is exact.

Doing something “heroic” requires it to be recognized. In the Catholic Church, they must recognize the thing that is heroic. Miracles and visions are heroic to the Catholics, and obviously dying for the Name, Jesus. Therefore, all the apostles were heroic and indeed they were set apart. Jesus himself sanctified them, so who could question Jesus?

Judas Iscariot was set apart for service by Jesus Himself. Jesus made no error. He too died under the auspices of Christ, even having a meal with Him, which it seems, that Jesus did not even eat with him.

Although he was an apostle, Judas fell away for the love of money, so he died. He could have become a “saint” based on dying while following Jesus. However, we find that he abandoned his first love (Jesus) in pursuit of avarice. He followed Satan to his death. Judas was set apart, but he set himself aside when Satan entered him. Although he repented of his sin against God, he did not follow Jesus all the Way to Calvary.

Judas acknowledged his guiltiness but endeavored to save himself from guilt by “crucifying” himself in much the same manner as Jesus was crucified. Because Judas repented was not enough; even his own crucifixion was not enough! Judas had to be set apart by Jesus. We find at the “Last Supper” that Judas, when he ate, set himself apart from Jesus by sopping the “Body” of Jesus into the “Blood” of Jesus (Mat 26:25-28).

The Church cannot decide who is a saint; only God can do that!

Catholics believe Judas, although he repented, was damned. Judas does not qualify as a saint, and rightfully so; for he did not endure to the end to be saved a saint (Mat 10:22).

The person “is holy,” not was holy! It does not matter the condition of the soul during the course of life, but its condition at the moment of death. Judas did not wait on Jesus to propitiate Holy Blood for him and to take on the sins of Judas. Judas endeavored to do that himself. However, if he would have waited just a few hours, Jesus would have finished for him what Judas had started.

Jesus consecrated Judas and set him apart to be an apostle. The psalmist long before Judas ever existed, sang of Judas and Jesus: “Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me” (Psalm 41:9).

Judas, once a friend of Jesus, and who once had affection for Jesus, defected (apostasia; Heb 6:6) from Him. Once a saint, not necessarily always a saint! Few think that Judas is in heaven, but many forgive Judas and “preach” him into heavenly Paradise. Most Catholics have it right; Judas is in Hell because at death he had Satan in him; not Jesus.

Although there was “infusion of sanctifying grace” in the beginning, Judas traded the grace of Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. He sold the infusion of grace that Jesus had given him, for an infusion with the “blood” of Satan. He became the person of Satan for a short time, all the way until he died. (He became the Antichrist.)

Speaking to all the apostles, Jesus had explained to them, according to Luke, that although they had been baptized with water, they had not been baptized by the Holy Ghost (Acts 1:5). Jesus had told them not to leave Jerusalem until they had been baptized by the Holy Ghost (Acts 1:4). Judas was probably baptized along with the others. That was the way John would have set them apart for the word of Jesus. Jesus never baptized with water, he set apart by baptism with His Holy Ghost after he had died and ascended to heaven.

Judas left Jerusalem of his own volition before he died. He went to another realm his way, disregarding all that he had been taught. He became “God” as the Accuser warned Adam and Eve about themselves (Gen 3:5).

Water baptism did not make them Christians, but prepared the Way for Jesus to baptize them within (Mat 3:3). There are not three baptisms: the baptism of John, the baptism of Jesus by water, and baptism by the Spirit of God; but only one effective baptism (Ephes 4:5) — baptism of the Holy Ghost. Water baptism is preparation for spiritual baptism, cleaning the flesh in preparation for cleansing of the soul. With that said, water baptism today is preparation for baptism of the Holy Ghost and must come before spiritual baptism.

The “heroic” thing that the first Christian did to deserve Paradise is no thing. The Roman Catholics found a name for the repentant thief — Dismas — and rightfully called him a “saint.”  Since Dismus did nothing to be a saint, it makes sense that nobody needs to do anything. Dismus was nailed to the Cross, so he became a saint without a heroic deed.

What did he “do”? He thought that Jesus was God even before God revealed Himself in Jesus by separating Himself from the Person of God. His “heroic” deed was right thinking, not performing miracles and such.

Next, we shall look for scripture that defines sainthood.

Saint Helena

ON INSPIRATION AND GLORIFICATION

The journey I am on is to reveal the ignorance of Christians about whom we worship. I am the chief ignoramus! My hope has always been that there is indeed an almighty God, but at the same time, I have doubted it. As such I too mouthed off biblical sayings as if I knew what I was talking about. I am now convinced that the biblical patriarchs and prophets knew what they were talking about, not because they were of high intelligence, but that God revealed things to them. Of course, their knowledge was revealed in archaic language, but it is still superior knowledge and much of it profound.

The use of knowledge for good things is wisdom and use of it from hurtful things is foolishness. Indeed, mankind is in this together — the world — so we all should want the world to succeed. That is the ideal and God’s plan for us, but rather than the pursuit of good, mankind seeks to undermine all the other cosmopolitans. Foolishness is making oneself appear to be good at the expense of another. Most of mankind seeks to make names for themselves.  That initiative was first pursued by Lucifer: 

I (Lucifer) will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High (God). (Isa 14:13-14)

 In pursuit of the meaning of "glorification," somehow, I landed upon that thought. Lucifer did not say that audibly but mysteriously; it was prefaced by, “You have said in your heart.” Isaiah, just a mere man, knew what Lucifer was thinking. Lucifer came short of the glory of God, knew so, but wanted the Glory that belonged only to God.

For now, just consider “glory” to be the attributes of God, or as scripture says, “The Image” (Gen 1:27). Lucifer, according to Isaiah, wanted to be like the Most High God.

How did Isaiah know what Lucifer was thinking? Did Lucifer reveal his thoughts to Isaiah? He could have but Lucifer is a deceiver and always was (John 8:44). As such Lucifer would not have revealed his plans for himself.

He plans on undermining God and that has always been his way. Why? To be God himself. In a very deceptive accusation, the “Serpent” Lucifer, accused Adam and Eve of wanting to be God. All the while they were accused, the “Accuser” was plotting that very thing. That remains to this day the M.O. of sinners.

Isaiah, as a prophet of God, would have not conversed with Lucifer, and Lucifer, not foolish, would not have revealed his plans to us lower creatures (as implied in scripture; Psalm 8:5).

Lucifer saying things from the heart was what he was thinking. What beings think is their reality.

As the “First Principle” of René Descartes says, “I think, therefore I am.” We know we exist because we have the capacity to think. However, we think and know that we are, but know not what we are.

We are born with the instinct to be gods. Lucifer, for once revealed the truth. We inherited the trait of Lucifer. How is that known? Scripture reveals the truth. The Bible is basically a book about how mankind has always undermined God because we, as sinners, “come short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23). We even know that we do!

To get technical. The New Testament is not “scripture” per se. Scripture is the document onto which truth is written. The New Testament writings, such as Paul’s letter to Timothy, were not scripture; it refers to the Old Testament writings on the manuscripts of old. Paul explained it to the young man, Timothy, in a letter: 

That from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. (2 Tim 3:15-16)

 Paul referred to the writings of the prophets and such. However, was Paul inspired by God Himself? Anybody could say that, but did Paul’s thoughts come from God or was that merely the opinion of an intelligent man?

Note one thing; Paul was not elevating his own ideas but credited God. Of course, that could have been deceptive, but was it? Note that Paul was decapitated by Nero Caesar just because he said things that magnified God rather than himself. Paul certainly was not out to make a name for himself, but for the Name of God — Jesus — in whom his faith lied.

Paul, speaking to King Herod Agrippa explained himself:

At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the Sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, “Saul, Saul, why persecute you me? it is hard for you to kick against the pricks.” And I said, “Who are you, Lord?” And He said, I am Jesus whom you persecute. (Acts 26:13-15)

Paul didn’t lie to the king and Agrippa was almost persuaded to become a Christian. It seems that he may have come to believe Paul.

About Agrippa, Josephus wrote that he scolded his friends for flattering him and died in “Teshuva” (repentance), to wit: 

Maimonides defines the essence of repentance as follows: 

"The sinner must leave his sin, and remove it from his thoughts, and decide in his heart not to do it again... and he must regret the past... and [God] must know that he will never return to this sin... and he must confess with his lips, and say those matters which he decided in his heart." (Wikipedia 2023)

 It seems that Agrippa believed that Paul was inspired by God when he saw a “Light from Heaven” (God).

Eventually, Paul was murdered because he was inspired by God. Paul shared the Light of God and Christians were also inspired by God. In fact, Agrippa was surely inspired by God!

Soon after, the world became inspired by God through the spread of the Word of God.

Glorification begins with inspiration from God. Paul could not save, but he could relate his own experience with Jesus; then Jesus — the Name for God — saved as His Name means.

As Paul wrote to Timothy, scripture has a purpose, “which (is) able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”

The New Testament is somewhat redundant. The Old Testament should have been sufficient because it is the scripture of which Paul wrote, but even he did not believe what he professed until he experienced God on the road to Damascus. What Paul wrote was inspired by God from heaven. He did not meet the man, Jesus, on the road, but God spoke to him audibly from His throne.

Generally, God speaks to us in our thoughts. Paul was a special man with a purpose. He was inspired by the Voice from above that he had heard many times before and recognized the sound as the Voice of Jesus and the same Voice that spoke to Adam and Eve in the Garden (Gen 3:8).

Paul knew he was inspired and essentially told Agrippa that the dead man Jesus was alive and well and had communicated with him. Rather than thinking Paul was silly, Agrippa apparently believed him and was persuaded to become a Christian! He was convinced that Paul was relating to him a message from Jesus from beyond.

He did not ask how that could be done, but just accepted it because Saul, once a murderer, was by then a crusader. If the self-righteous man Saul could be changed, the self-made man, Agrippa could be as well. (Agrippa had a history of self-aggrandizement.)

Scripture is the truth, and the truth will make you free (John 8:32). If those who were entangled with God cannot be believed, why waste your time fake make-believing? If the Bible is not divinely inspired by God, why even read the preposterous thoughts of vain men?

It is imperative to be a Christian that a sinner must believe that the precepts of the Bible; that all of them, are true. There may be errors in translation, but those of the errors of men. Nobody claims that the forty-translators of the English Bible were inspired by God, but that those they translated were!

The Old Testament is a little different; in the “Letter to Aristeas,” it is claimed that the Septuagint translators were inspired and in accordance each with the other to the satisfaction of Pharoah Ptolemy II Philadelphus. It seems that they proved that they were inspired by God, never deviating from the Hebrew manuscripts in their meaning. If there is any error in translation; it is errors into English, Latin, and the other languages.

The Greek New Testament is the “textus receptus” — the received Word of God and many believe that ancient Hebrew is the original language of God. That makes sense, because there is evidence that the Hebrews created the first alphabet from God when He wrote Words on the tablets of stone; something that was never done before!

Many rattle-off the passage that sinners come short of the glory of God. I even asked a pastor with a doctorate degree from Chicago Theological Seminary, what glory even means. His response; “Well, glorious,” as he smiled widely in ignorance.

“Glorification” is remade in the Image of God in the same manner as the first man, who himself, after sin, came short of the glory of God.

That gloriousness is His Image (Selem in the Hebrew) which means that man was literally the “shadow” of God.

Plato explained the significance of that in his “Allegory of the Cave.” He revealed the truth that the shadow of men is a “fragment” of the real men. Therefore, although the soul of Adam was figuratively a “phantom” of God, the soul of the man was as real as the body of man that would be the “cup” in which the soul was breathed to make the organic man alive.

It follows that glorification begins with a new soul and is finished when the soul takes on new flesh. Glorification begins when one first trusts God and is finished when the trust is made whole; when the soul receives its new body at the general resurrection when “the dead in Christ shall rise first” (1 Thes 4;16).

Jesus was glorified when He was resurrected (John 7:39) and so shall we be glorified at the general resurrection when our refreshed souls put on new incorruptible flesh (1 Cor 15:52). Inspired Paul wrote that! He must be trusted because he got his information from God.

Moses was credited with writing Genesis wherein Adam was made glorious in the same manner. We know that Moses was inspired by God because the people saw the glory of God shining in his face:

And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him… And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the Lord had spoken with him in mount Sinai. (Exod 34:28-29, 32)

Note that Moses was glorified. They would not come near him in the same manner as Jesus could not be touched after He was glorified (John 20:17), according to the Law: “Whosoever touches the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifies not himself, defiles the tabernacle of the Lord; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel” (Num 19:13).

No, Thomas did not touch Jesus, or he would have defiled Jesus (the “Tabernacle” of God). He was only tested to do so but did not!

Why not touch Moses? Why not touch Jesus? Because both had been glorified; both of them had been glorified and that may be the reason that Moses was there alive when Jesus was transfigured when the glorification process of Jesus began. Those who touched Jesus while he was alive were saved but none touched Him thereafter. It remains the Law not to touch a dead man without purification afterward.

Why not touch them? Jesus returned to them restored to His formal glory. He was in the process of re-assembly or sorts. His Holy Ghost had returned, and He was in the process of receiving new incorruptible flesh, so until the process was finished, he could not be corrupted because the Father had not yet seen Him. Speaking of His ascension, “Jesus said unto her, “Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father’” (John 20:17).

Could it be that the “Phantom” of Jesus was standing before her and that she was witnessing the process of glorification? Could it be that Jesus received His new incorruptible flesh as He ascended to the Father in the same manner as the living and the dead in Christ receive theirs?

The Phantom of Jesus was the “bodily shape” of the man (Luke 3:22). Was Jesus standing before the woman in the very Invisible Image of God and revealed so that many could see Him while others because of their dim eyes could not?

Is that the reason that Muhammad believed that it was only a phantasm that was crucified and not the Person of God?

When Jesus was “raised” from the dead, raised was translated from the root word, agora. Jesus was assembled after having come apart at the crucifixion.

A glorified person is one that was disassembled from the old creature and made a new creature in Christ. Outwardly, we are like the alien creature, Lucifer, but inwardly, we are Jews (Rom 2:29) like Moses and Jesus, even Abraham.

Glorification is a process beginning with when we first believed and culminated when we are raised (assembled) after death. It is the appearance and countenance of the soul of Christians as it is assembled as we meet Jesus in the end.

If it was to be described physically, we would look like the Holy Ghost of Jesus without the impedance of His Body. Our glory would show in the same manner as Jesus walking, as the “Angel of the Lord” (Mat 28:2), right through the walls of His tomb and through the walls of the room where the eleven were gathered: “As they thus spoke, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and said unto them, “Peace be unto you’” (Luke 24:36).

Jesus was glorified after He suffered death but before he was assembled back together again.

The “Angel of the Lord” is the phantom Image of God  (Selem in the Hebrew) and glorification is to be like that since that “Image” was His Glory.

Therefore, “coming short of the glory of God” is without the very Image of God within. It is imperfection with sin that disallows us from overcoming the world in phantom.

Moses was glorified when He was inspired, and so was Paul. Both retained their bodies, but within, the glorification process began a good work in them as sin was removed. Obviously, at the transfiguration, both the living (Elijah) and the dead (Moses) had their glorification finished as Jesus’s glorification began.

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

EVEN CHRISTIANS DO NOT UNDERSTAND CHRIST

Generally, Christians do not know what they are talking about, so how would the non-Christian? They indeed are lost!

Christians rattle off biblical quotes until they become clichés. Of course, “God loves you,” is said often without the declarer understanding what love is even about. To many, love is love, just as the “woke” crowd believes. Strangely, love is not love as God defines it. However, the concept of love has been covered often and people still do not understand it.

Probable the best concept of love is from John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

First off, who is the “world’? It is literally the cosmos. God loves what He has made and that includes objects, souls, and beings of all sorts. Foremost, God loves the souls of some people; those who trust Him. It is not that he has no empathy for the “lost” but that they deserve what is important to them. “The wages of sin is death” (Rom 6:23), so sinners get their rightful payment. Sinners are justly rewarded for their actions and thoughts.

James, the brother of Jesus, helped with that concept, “Wherefore lay apart all filthiness receive with meekness the engrafted Word, (in italics that which follows): which is able to save your souls” (Jas 1:21).

John wrote the conditions for salvation. The person must believe (pisteuo) in Him. People fail to understand what belief even means. — to have trust in something. Demons believe in God but trust Lucifer rather than God (Jas 2:19).

Believing in Jesus from rebirth to death — “…he that endures to the end shall be saved” — is saving faith. Hence faith is dynamic; and it is trusting God until the end. “Born again” is the moment in time when any sinner first believes, to wit: “…now is our salvation nearer than when we believed” (Rom 13:11), or better said, first trusted God for salvation of the soul.

Hence, the love of God is conditional but also unconditional in the sense that the free will that God endowed everyone with allows them to either choose eternal life or to reject it. Each person must decide whether they trust themselves for salvation, or God, all the while knowing that they have no power to save themselves. So irrationally, they reject God because they fail to believe that there is a resurrection of the faithful.

God is impartial; doing good things to gain His favor (works) does not bias the “Judge” who knows what is in the mind of the person. God detects sin by both thoughts and actions. James revealed the actions: “…lay apart all filthiness receive with meekness the engrafted Word.” Laying apart is the action and meekness the right thinking.

Martin Luther rejected that notion and sought to eliminate the Book of James as biblical canon.

Canon are the sacred books that are the genuine Word of God. Luther believed in sola gratia (by grace alone); so do most Christians. However, “works” are the evidence of gratitude for His Grace. Being engendered by God (born again) is made like God, or as many say without knowing what it means, “in Christ.” If anyone does not have the “engrafted Word” in them, they are not in Christ and their souls shall not be saved, as James rightfully acknowledged.

To understand what “in Christ” means, consider the “Word engrafted” within you. The “Word” is the actions of God, what He thinks, says, and does. It is the “Dynamic” of God that is in the Christian. Dynamics are just actions but in the case of those in Christ who are engrafted (entangled) with Him, they are good works, or “virtue,” and are also of the mind.

In this case, “entanglement” is like God but not God. Christians are not Christ but like Christ in their actions. We do come short of being like Christ!

Like the blind man who received his sight because of faith in the Christ, “Jesus said unto him, ‘Go your way; your faith has made you whole. And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus in the Way” (Mark 10:52). The blind man who had just sat there became “whole;” he was engrafted with the Genome of God in a spiritual sense (“born again”). He had trusted Jesus one time, but once he saw that he was restored, out of gratitude, the once blind man followed Jesus in the Way — on the journey that Jesus was going. Where did the journey of Jesus end? On Calvary. The blind man may have not been at the crucifixion, but Jesus was crucified for him because of his faith.

The once blind man was to follow Jesus, not for just that day, but for the entire journey to his death, just as Jesus made his journey to His.

The journey for the blind man was the same journey for any follower of Jesus, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me” (Mat 16:24). “Now” is any time on the journey and as Christians go the Way of Jesus, the journey leads to salvation, just as Paul wrote to the Roman Christians.

Since enduring to the end is the crucifixion of the body, the soul is saved once the person dies. Of course, Christians are to die to the world, but that would mean that they all become ascetics, giving up the world. That is “legalism,” or salvation by works.

At death, just what is saved?

The body returns to the dust from which it came, just as God says (Gen 3:19). The body of man (Adam) was made in Genesis part two. His soul was made before the foundation of the world, perhaps in the realm of heaven in Paradise, before the world was made in part two.

The soul of Adam was the invisible image that was like God but not God. The soul of mankind has the same substance as the Substance of God.

Like God, the soul is immortal. It can be compared to the Holy Ghost of Jesus; the human soul is immaterial but in the shape of a man (Luke 3:22). Although it cannot be seen under normal conditions the ghost of a Christian can be seen by its action. When Jesus was baptized, the Holy Ghost was seen by its movement onto Jesus in as wave-pattern like a dove would glide.

Christians cannot walk one way and the soul another way. They must walk together until death do them part.

The most important case of overcoming that parameter in the world was the event when the Body of Jesus went one way, and the Ghost of Jesus went another way. Jesus overcame the world because that was impossible theretofore. Now, because Jesus went one way in person and His Ghost went another way, Christians can do that as well!

Jesus was providing hope to His followers when He said, “Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). Because He could defy death, so can His followers… if they follow Him to their end when their bodies go one way (to the grave) as their souls are saved as they glide into another realm with ease.

Salvation is not physical. It is the soul that is saved from torments. All souls are immortal; the choice is where the person spends eternity. “Love,” then is God’s desire that the soul never perishes, just as John 3:16 indicates.

God truly desires that the body die, and Paul wanted his to die as well; he said, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Phil 1:21).

“Salvation” (soteria) is at death when the soul separates from the body and goes a different way. For Paul, it was gain because he was in Christ. If not in Christ, then the “gain” is the pain of torments. Paul did endure to the end and then suffered decapitation, according to legend. Why was that gain to him? Because he was entangled with Christ and would go where Christ had gone!

Many say with enthusiasm, “I got saved today!” Not so! They began to trust Jesus for salvation which should come if they remain faithful. (The unfaithful do not enter Paradise but Hell.)

 Whether they trust Him to the end is up to themselves since they are sealed by God (2 Cor 1:22). God will never leave nor forsake them, but they, again, are not God nor even gods. They can freely leave and forsake God as they want (Heb 6:6). God does not imprison them but puts a “garden” (gan; hedge) about them as Satan accused God of doing for Job. God keeps them safe, but as with Job, safety to the end was how far Job would trust in God. He trusted God all the way to the end!

So, God loves you so that He desires that you never perish. In other words, God has so much “goodwill” for you that your soul is indispensable in the eternal scheme of things. He will keep you “safe” (sozos in the Greek), but salvation occurs the moment that the end comes for you.

For most, the dead will rise in Christ, but for a blessed few, the living will be raised while alive (Thes 4:16-17). Only those living in Christ when Christ returns will have their bodies saved. All those already dead in Christ will be regenerated from the dust from which they came. God, indeed, can raise dry bones and put onto them tallow and flesh as He proved long ago (Ezek 37).

Your person will not be saved. You will not look like the ugly person that you are within. The human body is not the glorious body that Adam had. The flesh that you wear so proudly is at most temporary flesh that you wear (Gen 3:17) to keep you safe until the resurrection when those in Christ will have a genesis in the same manner as Adam and shall also be glorified.

Christians are blessed. The two glorious creatures, not Adam and Lucifer, but Adam and the woman Adam, were meant to be like God in mind and spirit. They failed God in mind, so their spirit was made devoid of their glorious flesh. The mind goes with the spirit wherever it goes since virtue is the dynamic (dynamis) of God.

Either way you go, your mind goes with the soul; somehow, just as Lazarus and the rich man went their separate ways but each retained their mental faculties (Luke 16).

So far, hopefully you understand love, rebirth, the soul, and the end; perhaps even trust and faith, but do you understand sin and glorification? That will be revealed next.

THE CREATURES OF THE GARDEN

 

FROM MYTHOLOGY TO SCIENCE

 

Today, let’s focus on the English word “star.” The Bible, especially the Book of Revelation, uses that word quite often. The stars may be just that, they could be some alien entities, or they may be even planets.

Jesus is the “bright and morning star” (Rev 22:16). According to Strong’s Lexicon that is the Greek word aster when combined with “morning” alludes to the planet Venus whose light is so bright it was mistaken as a star.

Now consider Lucifer about whom Isaiah wrote, “How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, ‘son of the morning’! how are you cut down to the ground” (Isa 14:12). In heaven, Lucifer was something else, but here in the world, he was cut down to the “ground.”

Usually “ground” is Adam in the Hebrew. In this case, the “ground” is ‘eres. Lucifer was not like Adam after he was cast down but just made firm. His angelic image like God’s (elohim) was made firm. He became non-chromatic and visible whereas Adam (the living “ground”) was glorious (chromatic; Selem) within. [1]

That one place is the only mention of Lucifer, at least in the English, in the entire Bible although he (or it) is all over the place by different names.

Mr. Wikipedia, one of their 120,000 experts, wrote this about Lucifer, it is the name of the Devil: "the morning star", "the planet Venus", or, as an adjective, "light-bringing". It is a translation of the Hebrew word הֵילֵל, hêlēl, meaning "Shining One".

Venus, in ancient times was thought to be a star (Venus: Facts – NASA Science). It was believed to be both the morning and evening stars. Throughout history, the dawning of the Devil was Venus showing itself in the morning. The name “Lucifer” means the “bringer of light.” He is the “shining one,” or Venus.

Lucifer is genderless in heaven, but on Earth, he (it) is called by a masculine name. He is called the “father, the Devil” (John 8:44), not because he is a male but because its gens are the genome of our kind.

Genesis 4:1 implies that the “Wicked One” (Lucifer) is male; that he is the “father” of Cain (1 John 3:12). That also implies that although Lucifer is genderless in its domain, in the world he indeed is a “bringer of light” via his sperm (the serpent-like little creature that attacks the ova like a snake in the striking position; figure #1):

 There is your ‘Serpent.” The Serpent was not a large creature entwined around a tree but the first account of carnal knowledge. So thereafter, us human creatures have procreated like the Devil does its thing very unlike how the Lord God produced the man Adam and the woman Adam.

With that said, Genesis was just removed from mythology and placed squarely in the realm of science. Cain is the “father” of us all via his father the Devil.

Lucifer was not the “bringer of light.” Jesus is the “bright and morning star” and the true “Bringer of Light.”

“God is Light and in Him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5). Therefore, “the Devil is a liar from the beginning” just as John wrote (John 8:44).

Now let’s get scientific. What can women do that men cannot? We think of menstruation and childbirth, and that is correct. However, there is something that women can do but a man never can; that is to pass along mitochondrial DNA; their dynamics are different.

The Bible is scientific about that, not ever saying that Adam is the “father of all living,” but that Eve is “the mother of all living” (Gen 3:20). Therein, theology agrees with science.

Men can pass along their chromosomes. Women only pass along their mitochondria. The mystery is in the meaning of the two words; chromosomes are translucent colorless vessels that must be stained to reveal them, hence the “chromo” in the word.

Mitochindria have numerous colors depending on their oxidized state — what oxygen does to their color.

Technically, God is Light in the sense that He is the “Father-figure” that brings forth invisible light (Chromo) to engender Adam-kind. On the other hand, Lucifer is the father-figure, perhaps whose sperm brought forth mitochondria in Eve’s kind.

As such, Jesus is the Bringer of Light as the “Bright and Morning Star” and Lucifer is a “dim-wit” of a “shadow” of Jesus. So, biologically, the chromosomes may also be the “stars” of the Bible.

Not to forget that Lucifer is a “shape-shifter” (Books of Adam and Eve); it can appear as either a he or a she or even as a beast.

God just IS. He is not male nor female but a Creator.

Sexual intercourse was not used to create Adam’s kind. God breathed unto the mind of Adam through his nostrils (Gen 2:7). The male Adam thought He was a man and as such he was a man.  His gender was encoded in his chromosomal-DNA.

Likewise, the man breathed unto the mind of the woman, and she knew that she was Adam’s kind but opposite in “spin” (or gender). Her identity was recorded in her chromosomes. Since God did that by the Word, and Jesus is the “Word,” Jesus is therefore the “Bringer of Light.” God seems to have put chromosomes in the man and man entangled with woman and she also received chromosomes.

Chromosomes are the vessels in which the very identity of a person is encoded. From the beginning, man was man and a woman was a woman. The object of carnal knowledge was for the Serpent to make the two Adams think differently than their gender assignments. The Serpent successfully did that: As soon as the two were removed from the Garden Paradise, things changed. Sin modified their thinking and behavior of the glorious creatures and made them like the Beast.

Lucifer did bring “light” to mankind, but it was not chromosomal but colorful. The color of mitochondria is not translucent but colorful. Colors are frequencies of light and even though they are light, they appear as darkness.

Infrared light, for example, is darkness that can only be seen by special filtration. Albeit darkness was in Lucifer, in Jesus, there was no darkness at all. That could imply that mitochondria are from Lucifer, and indeed scripture implies that.

Most people look at scripture abstractly, but words mean things. There were no “chromo” and “mito” scientific words in the beginning, but there was science. How else would the “Tekton” Jesus describe DNA?

How else would the “Bringer of Darkness” be called “Lucifer” unless God knew that darkness was only higher frequencies of light? How else would a Bringer of Darkness change mankind but by carnal knowledge.

Was the “Serpent” really a viper or was it a spermatozoa? You be the judge while admitting that the outcome of sin was a new kind that Adam named, “Eve” because “she was the mother of all living.” (Gen 3:20) and thereafter she became the dominant kind!

Now, geneticists focus on mitochondrial-DNA to identify the mother of all living. Almost forgotten now is that Adam was meant to be the “father of all living;” his likeness was to have dominion over the other kinds even before the new kind came about (Gen 1:26).

Now for some more speculation. The origin of the word “star” has many language sources but many of them sound alike. It occurred to many, including myself, that Astarte and star sound alike in their root verbs. Astarte is Ishtar — the goddess of Venus and fertility. She may have been the female version of Lucifer in Babylon. Perhaps she is the “harlot Babylon” that is the fake “morning star” of the Apocalypse.

Remembering that Lucifer is an angel and neither a male nor a female in heaven (Mark 12:25) that in this realm Lucifer can be what he needs to be to undermine God. He was a “Serpent” in the Garden, obviously to slither in,” but an angel before that.

Lucifer may also be the “Lilith” of Isaiah’s “screech owl” fame that steals the young from their nests, and as such, she is the muse of radical females whose sole thought is to abort their own offspring — abort their own DNA to spite God.

Venus is neither a star nor the Bringer of Light. It is a mere planet that the ancients worshipped as either the son or daughter of the Sun. The real Bringer of Light is Yahweh the “Emanator of Light.”

Those “stars” of the Revelation are indeed angels and Astarte the Luciferin “star” that fertilized the woman, portraying itself as a man.

[1] I have speculated before that the Image of God “Selem” in the Hebrew was the chromosomes of God in the man as if there was no flesh on the person, but merely a form of a man revealed chromosomally. That would be the human soul and those who would biogenetically alter our DNA are tampering with our soul. Jesus even called Himself a “cup” (vessel). That is exactly what the chromosomes are — vessels for the Genome of God.

SECURITY CONDITIONAL ON ACTION

I will not even attempt to identify the creatures that Ezkiel saw but the message was very clear; God expects the righteous to be righteous!

Ezekiel was picked to give the captives a choice: hope or despair.

Ezekiel, along with the other Israelites, was held captive in what is now Iraq in the city of Nippur. There was the seat of the god of the wind, Enlil the ruler of the cosmos. Enlil was a fake God that they might be tempted to follow, and surely many were.

The living creatures that Ezekiel saw came to him in this manner; “The heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God” (Ezek 1:1).

Soon, “The Word of the Lord came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was there upon him” (Ezek 1:3).

Now, let us examine how the Word came — “expressly.” Literally, the Power of God (El) “fastened” (Jehezekel) upon Ezekiel the prophet. Ezekiel became Jehezekel in a manner after God paired with him.

For those who have followed my serial book, An Awesome Quantum God, let it be known that God quantumly “entangled” Himself in Power with Ezekiel and he became a new creature with the supernature of God. He would need to be like God to interact (entangle) with the other captives who would surely give him a hard time.

The “Word” that came upon Ezekiel was the “Word” of which the apostle John wrote; Ezekiel saw the preincarnate Jesus. What would Ezekiel have seen? What Luke saw at the baptism of Jesus: “The Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Him, and a Voice came from heaven, which said, “You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased” (Luke 3:22).

Ezekiel did not see a man but a phantom Image (Selem) of God.

Remembering that the Power of God fastened on Ezekiel, what was happening. The Holy Spirit in the shape of the person, Jesus, engendered Ezekiel; the nature of Ezekiel became like the nature of God in Power.

The “Godhead” has three substances: (1) The Power, or Dynamics, of God, (2) the Backside, or Phantom, of God, and (3) the Obverse, or Body of God.

The Dynamis (The Word) of the Godhead stopped on Ezekiel and revealed Himself in action: God fastened Himself on Ezekiel and Ezekiel became like Him but of a different “spin;” God would remain in Phantom, but His Spirit would be in the form of a man. As such, Ezekiel was an antitype of Jesus — alike but different in some respect. He was just a man but with the Power of God. He was what Paul meant when he said, “In Christ” — the Power of the Word is in them.

God picked Ezekiel exclusively and so He does each Christian. With Ezekiel, God attached Himself to Ezekiel and Ezekiel assumed the Power of God; the heavens were opened, and he saw visions of God. God is Invisible to the naked eye, but He is still as real as Jesus because Jesus is God. Ezekiel, although Jesus was of a different substance, He was revealed to Ezekiel.

God can be seen, not only in Body or Spirit, but by His Actions as well. That is the quantumlike characteristic of the Godhead; the obverse is Jesus, the reverse Father God, and the motion (Action) is the Dynamics of the Father and the Son.

Ezekiel had a close encounter with a Divine kind, and it was not an alien being, but the Supreme Being that was alien to the Jews. God revealed Himself to Ezekiel. Ezekiel became like Him, then the Jews would see the Christ in Ezekiel and be persuaded to become righteous.

As such, Ezekiel became a prophet — a messenger of God carrying the Word of God to the lost. Prophets are much like angels within but appear in a natural physical state. Ezekiel was imbued with the Word of God and his task was to share the Word of God that was in himself.

He did not become God nor even the Word, but the Word was in him as surely as it was in Jesus. Ezekiel was himself in Christ and then he would go to the prisoners to make them free; as it turned out, not only free from the Babylonians but free to return to Jerusalem to be with their God rather than with Enlil.

The apostle John was aware of this action when he wrote, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36). Ezekiel was made free by the “Son” (The Word) and before it was all over, he was free of the yoke of the Babylonians. Cyrus the Great of Persia was the action that God used to make them free!

Note that God did not use a faithful Jew to restore Judea but used a pagan. Pagans make useful tools to do the work of God, otherwise like the Maccabees, they would make a name for themselves.

How did God fasten Himself to Ezekiel. He provided a scroll with words written on it. He told Ezekiel to eat of it. In a sense, the Word of God fastened itself to Ezekiel when he ate of it. Ezekiel would have eaten of the Tree of Life worthily because God fed it to him. Those “trees” were not necessarily trees but “firm things.” The firm thing that Ezekiel ate were the Word of God on a scroll. In a sense, he ate the “Bible,” and the Word was then in himself.

There was great action when the Lord and His hosts left Ezekiel; “So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the Hand of the Lord was strong upon me” (Ezek 3:14). Ezekiel was lifted by the Spirit of God which he then recognized was the “Hand of the Lord.” Ezekiel saw that the Dynamics of God when stopped was the ame strong hand of the invisible God that kept him. He understood that the invisible Presence of God was as real as His physical Presence, and so it was.

At the river Chebar, “there (he) astonished among them seven days” (Ezek 3:15). He fed them the Word of God from within himself. In a sense, He was as Christ.

Just as God had put His Spirit in Adam in the beginning and then Adam put the Spirit of God in the woman, so it was with Ezekiel.

Next, it is written, “Son of man, I have made you a watchman unto the house of Israel” (Ezek 3:17). As a “watchman” (sapa), Ezekiel’s role was to peer into the future and that he did. He ate the Word and kept it within himself. He understood the future Dynamic of God to protect the Israelites.

Herein is the message that God gave Ezekiel. It concerned the future when the Word came in the flesh rather than in the Spirit: 

When I say unto the wicked, ‘You shall surely die;” and you give him not warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Yet if you warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

Again, when a righteous man does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Nevertheless, if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also you have delivered your soul. (Ezek 3:18:21)

That was the message that Ezekiel was given by the Word to take to the captives in Iraq, but he was also to take into the future. They are conditions for safety and freedom.

For now, focus on just one condition: “When a righteous man does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered.”

That is our warning from the past. All the while Christians think they are free and safe; they may not be.

A righteous man or woman are those who trust the Word, Jesus, for salvation. They are those in Christ, having been “born again” in the same manner as Ezekiel. As such, they have “eaten” the Word of God and the Word is in them.

Ezekiel kept the Word but even he was in jeopardy: His duty was to spread the Word to the others. His dynamic was to be the Dynamic of Jesus. If he failed to direct the Word to whosoever, then he would be held accountable; he could have died if the action of Christ had not been in himself. His soul would be delivered, or saved, after he accomplished what he was rewarded with — the Spirit of God. He would be required to take the activity of God and make it active to the world; to both the unrighteous and the righteous.

Even those, who like Ezekiel, who had consumed the Word, if they failed to share it, then they too were in jeopardy; “he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered.”

The Word in even Christians cannot remain dormant. If the Word is in us Christians, then it must get out to multiply the Spirit of God.

Just like quantum mechanics, the Word of God must spread to each of us “trees,” as we are compared to in both scripture and quantum theory.

How does God entangle us “trees”? He directs the Word as us, then we spread the Word in a dynamic wave. That was what God meant when he told Adam to “multiply.” He was to produce more living souls, and as Adam’s kind that is our role as well.

If the Word stops at us, unless it moves on, God stops it for good in us with death. If the Dynamic of God that is in us is not kept dynamic, then we worship the Name in vain.

God does not give up on us for we are sealed in the same manner as Ezekiel; we are fastened to the Word, Jesus. If we fail to have the Virtue (Dynamis) of Jesus, then us “pebbles” from the “Stone” go by the wayside just like the seeds in the parable.

The Word of the Lord sometime later came unto Ezekiel who said these words: 

Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put My spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep My judgments, and do them. (Ezek 36:25-27)

 Ezekiel had the Word of the Lord in himself explained. God would turn hearts of stone and make them alive flesh after God cleans the flesh.

Baptism and rebirth are separate events; first the flesh is cleansed of its filth, then comes the heart which is circumcised of its nature. Water does the outward work and then “I will give you,” God said, “an heart of flesh…I will put My spirit within you.”

That passage distinguishes between baptism with water and baptism of the Spirit of God — the Holy Ghost that God put into Ezekiel.

Then God adds your responsibility; “You shall keep My judgments and do them.” Again, just as with Ezekiel, the righteous must be active to keep themselves secure from death. How to judge whether you are active or not? By the works that you do; not that it is the work you do, but your willingness to spread the Good News that Ezekiel spread.

If we are to be like Jesus, we are to spread the Good News that Jesus spread.

GIANTS IN THOSE DAYS AND THESE

This was hard to explore and harder to write. Make it worth my while; consider if there are giants of old.

Who was the first giant? Let is consider the time that blind Lamech killed his grandfather, thinking that he was a thief out to steal his herd.

In those days lived Lamech the blind, who was of the sons of Cain. “’As for me,’ (said his son, Atun) ‘I cannot feed those cattle alone, lest one rob me of some of them, or kill me for the sake of them.’ For among the children of Cain, there was much robbery, murder, and sin. Then Lamech pitied him, and he said, ‘Truly, he when alone, might be overpowered by the men of this place.’”

   “Meanwhile Cain, ever since God had cast him off, and had cursed him with trembling and terror, could neither settle nor find rest in any one place; but wandered from place to place.”

Cain came looking for his grandson who was out protecting his flock. Thinking that he was a thief…  “Then Lamech shot at Cain with his arrow and hit him in his side. And Lamech struck him with a stone from his sling, that fell upon his face, and knocked out both his eyes; then Cain fell at once and died” (1 A & E 13).

First off, Cain was from Nod, just as the Bible indicates (Gen 4:16). Nod is not a specific  place, according to the Hebrew, but “wandering.”

Cain had some type of psychosis: “trembling ands terror, unrest, and wandering (Nod)” Cain surely was afraid of the demon that was in himself. “Cain, who was of that Wicked One, and slew his brother. And wherefore (why) slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous” (1 John 3:12).

Cain was the effect of original sin. It is called “original” because sin is genetic. All the “sons of Cain” even to this generation “come short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23).

The curse was fear of himself, according to the Book of Adam and Eve. His psychosis was genuine for he had had the genetics of the Wicked One (Satan, the Serpent, the Devil, Lucifer) in him. Eve had done that, not God (Gen 4:1). She apparently “knew” the “Serpent” of old.

Forget that the Serpent seems to be a mythological snake but was the cunningness of Lucifer (Strong 2006). To be blunt, Eve committed adultery against Adam who watched her sin with the Wicked One, producing Cain.

Cain was not a “man” in the sense of Adam’s kind (adam in the Hebrew). For the first time the word for man was not Adam but ‘Is (pronounced eesh). Cain was not Adam’s kind but an “extant” being (ibid), alien to the world.

The curse of God was apparently psychosis due to guilt. Cain’s own works were evil. However, God had grace upon Cain just as He had with Adam and Eve on whom He put coats of skin (Gen 3”21).

“Cain said unto the Lord, ‘My punishment is greater than I can bear’” (Gen 4:13). His punishment was guilt, and the curse was psychosis.

Because he had sinned greatly, Cain was afraid, “I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the Earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that finds me shall slay me” (Gen 4:14). Fear of the unknown is a classic symptom of a psychotic person. To allay the fear of the unknown spirit within a psychotic person only requires trust in God to provide safety from those that might harm you.

Cain was endowed with the genome of the Wicked One. His was the first case of born in sin, or as David called it, “shapen in iniquity” (Psalm 51:5).

So far, giantism has not been mentioned. Before further miscegenation (mixing of genetics), “There were giants in the earth in those days…” (Gen 6:1).

The Book of Jasher reveals that Grigori giants came from the Fifth heaven to Earth in those days and had sexual relationships with the daughters of men. The Grigori allowed the “sons of God” (Seth’s progeny) to watch them copulate and after seeing the porno, the sons of God also wanted to copulate with the women on the plain below Mount Hermon where they were isolated from the world.

Both Matthew and Mark wrote about sexual intercourse and angels, “In the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven” (Mat 22:30). When Christians are glorified, they will be like Adam was originally. There will be no copulation in Paradise in heaven.

Implied therein is that angels in heaven cannot copulate. However, the lead angel Lucifer did copulate with Eve. How was that done? It was done on Earth in Paradise where it happened. The angel Lucifer, as the Books of Adam and Eve reveal, shape-shift to do sexual things and become sexually oriented beings. Sometime the angels appeared as beautiful women, handsome men, and even as giants.

Cain got his sexual prowess, like a beast, but he may have gotten something to identify that he was also one of us.

Cain begged God for protection, indicating that he was afraid of what he had wrought. God spoke to allay his fear, “Whosoever slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him” (Gen 4:15). God had grace on Cain just as he had on Adam and Eve. Perhaps he would have the flesh of a man but the soul of the demon. He would look normal like Adam, but his actions would be demonic.

Blind Lamech could not see him, but he sensed danger when Cain got near him and his servant. To the servant, Cain may have looked like any giant that was there in those days, but blind Lamech could sense the evil within Cain in the same manner as the blind man saw Jesus as a tree walking (Mark 8:24).

Blind Lamech had senses that only the animals have, and he himself as the grandson of Cain could sniff him out like a dog can sense dangerous species. (Sure, this is speculation, but it does make sense.)

So, part of God’s grace was making Cain look normal. However, he was alien to this world within his person. God revealed to Enoch those alien beings — Grigori giants from another realm.

That giants were on the Earth in those days makes sense, since the progeny of Cain could be giants. Perhaps even blind Lamech was a giant! Even if he was, if he could see, that would be another reason not to kill Cain.

Cain was killed by his grandson because Lamech sensed evil within the likely giant. Consider the “men” (angels) who took Enoch on a tour of the heavens: 

The men took me on to the fifth heaven and placed me, and there I saw many and countless soldiers, called Grigori, of human appearance, and their size was greater than that of great giants and their faces withered, and the silence of their mouths perpetual, and there was no service on the fifth heaven, and I said to the men who were with me: Wherefore are these very withered and their faces melancholy, and their mouths silent, and wherefore is there no service on this heaven? And they said to me: “These are the Grigori, who with their prince Satanail rejected the Lord of light, and after them are those who are held in great darkness on the second heaven, and three of them went down on to earth from the Lord's throne, to the place Ermon, and broke through their vows on the shoulder of the hill Ermon and saw the daughters of men how good they are, and took to themselves wives, and befouled the earth with their deeds, who in all times of their age made lawlessness and mixing, and giants are born and marvellous big men and great enmity.” (Secrets XVIII:1-3)

 The sons of God were indeed Seth’s progeny who were well-tutored by Grigori. No longer in heaven, God allowed them to couple with women while on Earth. He released them from their countenances (vows) as a means of testing mankind. Would they or would they not conjugate with beings from another realm — with beasts!

Mankind failed. The women of Cain’s progeny would have carnal knowledge with anyone, and soon the progeny of Seth (the “sons of God”) joined in, leaving only Noah who found grace (Gen 6:8), and because of that his entire household were brought to safety on Mount Juda in the Tauris Mountains of areas of Ararat.

From The Book of Jasher, it was revealed that the grace that Noah found was gloriousness in the manner of Moses coming down from the mountain after entangling with God: 

The wife of Lamech (not blind Lamech but the progeny of Seth) conceived and bare him a son at that time, at the revolution of the year. And Methuselah called his name Noah, saying, “The earth was in his days at rest and free from corruption,” and Lamech his father called his name Menachem, saying, “This one shall comfort us in our works and miserable toil in the earth, which God had cursed.” And the child grew up and was weaned, and he went in the ways of his father Methuselah, perfect and upright with God. (Jasher 4:13-15)

 God above provided His Spirit into the body of Noah. He was like a Savior — an antitype who would save mankind.

Note how evil mankind had become: 

And all the sons of men departed from the ways of the Lord in those days as they multiplied upon the face of the earth with sons and daughters, and they taught one another their evil practices and they continued sinning against the Lord.

And every man made unto himself a god, and they robbed and plundered every man his neighbor as well as his relative, and they corrupted the earth, and the earth was filled with violence.

And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals. (Jasher 4:16-17)

 Not only were children hybrids of demon angels but their “geneticists” had the knowledge of animal husbandry; they mixed bred the beasts to be like themselves, and God had to save the animals from human tampering as well. (Now the same wicked men are making imitation meat by biogenetics as in the days of Noah.)

Those “giants” in the days of Noah were nepil in the Hebrew, from napal which means “fallen.”

 They were giants in more senses than size. They were fallen messengers (angels) and their “messages” were apparently in their genetics; some were huge creatures and others great inventors since they had the very knowledge of God.

They invented biogenetics as Jasher points out. The children that came from miscegenation, “the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown” (Gen 6:4) — men out to make a name for themselves.  Foremost among them was Genun who was the great inventor who understood sound waves so much that he invented musical instruments to speak to them messages from the spiritual realm: 

After Cain had gone down to the land of dark soil, and his children had multiplied therein, there was one of them, whose name was Genun, son of Lamech the blind who slew Cain.

But as to this Genun, Satan came into him in his childhood; and he made sundry trumpets and horns, and string instruments, cymbals and psalteries, and lyres and harps, and flutes; and he played on them at all times and at every hour.

And when he played on them, Satan came into them, so that from among them were heard beautiful and sweet sounds, that ravished the heart. (1 A & E 2-:1-3)

 As such, some were giants and some great inventors. They were all “giants” either physically or mentally. Using that metric; Einstein, Bohr, and even Stephen Hawking were mental “giants” who knew the dynamics of the universe.

That idea may explain the unknown origin of the pyramids.

The first pyramid was built in the Old Kingdom of Egypt circa 2500 BC. The deluge of Noah’s time was circa 2500 BC. With that said, the pyramids were pre-diluvian and certainly were of an “old kingdom” — the old world. (That could explain the erosion of their outer shells.)

It took great knowledge and power to build such a building. Nobody understands from the  engineering of whom that the pyramids arose nor how massive stones could have been stacked so highly.

The location, position on the globe, the dimensions and shape are precise to the Sun and even to the celestial axis in Jerusalem, some say.

Also said is that the relative positions of the oldest pyramid (Cheops) and the Temple Mount in Jerusalem may be a sacred number. It is 273.5 miles or 84,0793.8 royal cubits, according to my calculations. I see nothing sacred about that, but the size and position is almost exactly according to the coordinate positions.

Some believe their positions were based on the position of the Sun at a certain time of the year: “The corners of the Great Pyramid of Giza also align well with the cardinal directions — north, south, east, and west. Researchers have spent years trying to understand how the builders were able to align the pyramid so precisely, and most accept that the ancient engineers used the motion of the Sun” (Betz 2023).

Without further ado, the construction of the pyramids does seem beyond the science. Not only are their positions and sizes precise and that stones of that size in that age could have been transported and places seems superhuman.

Now consider Genun: After making things of pleasure, “Then Satan, when he saw that they (the sons of man) yielded to Genun and hearkened to him in every thing he told them, rejoiced greatly, increased Genun's understanding, until he took iron and with it made weapons of war” (1 A & E 20:7).

Genun was Satan’s “Tekton” who was an antitype of Jesus. Of course, Genun may have not been the one who built the pyramids, but with Satan in him, Genun would have known how to and he was extant at that time. Furthermore, Genun had giants readily available. Could it be that Genun superintended the building of the Great Pyramid?

1500 years after the building of the Great Pyramid the Hyksos acquired power in Egypt. Could they have been there as advisors and slaves long before? They were believed to be Semites from western Asia. Had the seed of Genun been planted in Egypt after the flood and continued the work of Satan there? 

If you study “fake news” from ancient Egypt, you would consider the Hyksos a band of nasty, marauding outsiders who invaded and then brutally ruled the Nile Delta until heroic kings expelled them. In fact, the Hyksos had a more diplomatic impact, contributing to progress in culture, language, military affairs and even the introduction of the iconic horse and chariot. The story of these two competing explanations reveals much about ancient Egypt and this mysterious group.

As a word, Hyksos is simply the Greek version of an Egyptian title, Heka Khasut, meaning “rulers of foreign lands/hill countries.” While much is misunderstood, we know the Hyksos comprised a small group of West Asian individuals who ruled Northern Egypt, especially the Delta, during the Second Intermediate Period. These rulers were recorded as Egypt’s 15th dynasty in the Turin Royal Canon, the only known king’s list that documents their existence. (Candelora 2023)

 Genun was the inventor of purple, the color of choice of royalty. It makes sense that the ante-diluvian “giants” along with the demonic intelligence of Genun could have built the first and greatest pyramid. It could have been sfter the flood when the seed Of Mizraim of the Hamite branch of Noah (Hyksos?) could have continued with the building after the flood waters had receded?

Could the purple of Genun become the purple of the Hyksos Pharaohs who were so progressive in their building project?

Provide a better explanation… I am waiting!

We are looking for giants metricized by their sizes but were there giants with the intrinsic knowledge of Satan in them. Were giants also big in the sense of intelligence? Genun indicates that there was at least one “giant” with the capacity to understand the esoteric knowledge of the universe from the angel, Lucifer, himself. Could that explain why Egypt always represents sin and Hell from which the Hebrews had to flee, and that Pharaoh represents Satan?

Now consider the royal cubit. It was used to locate and build the pyramids of Egypt. The standard Hebrew cubit was variable, depending on the size of the people at that time. If you wanted big buildings, you desired big people of both size and intelligence. You would turn to “giants” like Einstein and ante-diluvian beings of great physical stature.

Mankind is “Adam’s kind” are they not? The “mighty men” (gibor) that were the hybrid children were literally, “powerful” and were giants. In the earlier verses of Genesis chapter six, the Hebrew words ben and bar are used for sons and daughters, respectively. They were the children of Adam; they were his kind. Perhaps the giant gene was already in the daughters of man (Adam) because of the curse of Cain who had obtained, at the least, cunning from his father the Devil. He was a “giant” in the sense of deception if that is true.

However, after miscegenation with giant Grigori from the Fifth Heaven (according to Jasher [1]), no longer were they call “adam” in the Hebrew, but “‘Is.” They were no longer of the genetics of Adam which bar indicates, but extant beings (Strong 2006) — aliens to this world. They were of a different existence than earthlings.

The flood was to extricate aliens from our world and reproduce offspring from another “Adam,” called “Noah,” whose genetics had been corrected at his birth.

Noah had sons. They would have carried the genetics of the first Adam and of God since they were not Kenites of Cain.

Their wives, however, may have been from Cain. Their names are known in sacred literature, but their genealogy remains unknown. The only way that giants could have made it through the flood is by the recessive mitochondrial DNA of one or more of the wives. Indeed, Satan has slipped through the flood waters in the genome of one of the women. 

In the Book of Jubilees (160–150 BC), considered canon by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church as well as Beta Israel, the names of the wives are given as Emzara, wife of Noah; Sedeqetelebab, wife of Shem; Na'eltama'uk, wife of Ham; and Adataneses, wife of Japheth. It adds that the three sons each built a city named after their wives.

According to the Sibylline Oracles, the wives of Shem, Ham, and Japheth enjoyed fantastically long lifespans, living for centuries, while speaking prophecy to each generation they saw come and go. According to the preface of the Oracles, the Sibyl author was a daughter-in-law of Noah: the "Babylonian Sibyl", Sambethe — who, 900 years after the Deluge, allegedly moved to Greece and began writing the Oracles. The writings attributed to her (at the end of Book III) also hint at possible names of her family who would have lived before the Flood — father Gnostos, mother Circe; elsewhere (in book V) she calls Isis her sister. Other early sources similarly name one of the Sibyls as Sabba (see Sibyl in Jewish Encyclopedia). (Wikipedia 2023).

Whichever wife she was, Sibyl is a great candidate for the giant genome. Her “giantism” was at least in her inherited knowledge from her father Gnostos whose knowledge would have been esoteric and beyond the known science of that age.

We keep looking for giants and science fails to see them even when they are in full view.

Look for “giants” in the rulers and principalities of the world. Look for giantism in the likes of Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab. Look for giants in artificial intelligence and biogenetics! We keep looking for giants in caves and basketball courts when all we need to look for to find giants are great inventions that have the propensity to destroy life as we know it.

Now consider the intelligence to build the pyramids. It seems so simple that even an Egyptian royal knows of it (see the figure #1 below). The positions of her hand and marker represents the relationship shown in figure #2. All the figures from (Donald 2005-2024).

Without getting overly complicated the 1:SQRT 2 ration introduces the sizes and positions of the Sun and Moon (figure #3). How would the Egyptian’s have known that without either divine or alien (Satanic) knowledge?

The Egyptians, antithetical of demons, knew the cosmos enough to build the pyramids. The question remains, did the seed of Genun have anything to do with it?

Names mean things. “Genun” means something. There is no accepted etymology for that name but allow me to propose one: gen is genetics and un usually means “the reverse” in Mediterranean languages. I propose that Genun was born to reverse the genetics of God in man (Adam) and his kind. It makes sense that since Genun had Satan enter him, that Satan got into him by genetics just as Satan got into Cain by genetics.

Genun, regardless of his unmentioned size as a “giant” in all other respects; inventing hard liquor, the instruments of hard music, and instruments of war. Genun, in a sense, split the Adam, making a hybrid being from Adam’s seed from God and from demonic angels from the heavens.

Some giantism is genetics; that cannot be denied. I am tall because my progenitors were tall. The Scandinavian and Balkan people are the tallest while the dark races are the shortest. That is genetic and it came from some ancient ancestors. Comparatively speaking most of us are giants!

Take for instance a man of renown, Peter the Great. He stood 6’-5” in stature while all those around him were 5’-6” or so. He was not only a huge person but a great scholar who learned many trades including anatomy, geology, and construction as he built St. Petersburg in a swamp, even bringing in earth to do so. Of course, he did not have giants like himself to do the work but he made men into giants by their numbers. He used the lowest caste of people to make a few giants. Giants can do things like that.

Were their giants in those days? There are giants in these days; so, from where did their genetics come? I am a fairly tall person with above average intelligence. I have giantism in me from my ancestors, but perhaps after thousands of mutations, I am not recognized as a giant at all, but just a little larger than average.

Where are the giants? Where are the aliens on Earth? We must look at ourselves; mirrors and success in pecuniary matters identifies the aliens within us.
